The bill H. 3769 aims to amend Section 56-3-1910 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the issuance of handicapped license plates. The proposed amendment expands the definition of "handicapped" to include individuals with autism and neurodivergent conditions, thereby allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue handicapped license plates to these individuals. This change recognizes the unique challenges faced by autistic and neurodivergent persons and aims to provide them with the same accessibility benefits as those with other recognized disabilities.

The bill specifies that the definition of "handicapped" now includes autism or neurodivergence as valid conditions for obtaining a handicapped license plate. This addition reflects a broader understanding of disabilities and aims to enhance the support and recognition of individuals with these conditions within the state's legal framework. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
