The bill H. 3851 seeks to amend Section 56-5-5015 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically regarding the regulations on sunscreen devices in motor vehicles. The amendment clarifies that the provisions of this section do not apply to law enforcement vehicles. This means that law enforcement vehicles are exempt from the requirements that typically govern the use of sunscreening materials that may violate light transmittance or luminous reflectance standards.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing exemption for motor vehicles registered in the name of individuals with a physical condition that necessitates the use of sunscreening material, provided they have an affidavit from a licensed physician or optometrist. This affidavit must be kept in the vehicle and updated every two years. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
