The bill H. 3292 seeks to amend Section 56-2-105 of the South Carolina Code of Laws regarding the operation of golf carts. It allows certain municipalities and counties to enact ordinances permitting golf carts to operate at night in designated areas, provided the carts are equipped with working headlights and rear lights. The bill specifies that municipalities with jurisdiction over barrier islands can create such ordinances, as can counties where barrier islands are not under municipal jurisdiction.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for political subdivisions to reduce the operational area for permitted golf carts from four miles to a minimum of two miles and to create separate golf cart paths on highways and roads, given that specific safety measures are met. The language also clarifies that while municipalities and counties can allow nighttime operation, they cannot amend other existing restrictions on golf cart operation. This act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
