The bill H. 3856 proposes several amendments to the South Carolina Code of Laws, primarily focusing on the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Key changes include the replacement of the term "blood type" with "information" in Section 56-1-80, and the introduction of new documentation requirements for individuals wishing to have their blood type displayed on special identification cards. Additionally, the bill establishes a cause of action for inaccuracies in identification cards or driver's records. Other amendments include defining "rental trailer," revising the issuance process for dealer license plates, and updating the expiration dates and fees for various permits and licenses related to motor vehicle operations.

Further amendments address the points system for evaluating dealer performance, including the elimination of certain conduct that results in point violations and the addition of new violations. The bill also modifies the definition of "bus" and outlines the requirements for driver instructor permits, including a new fee structure. The changes aim to streamline processes, enhance accuracy in documentation, and ensure compliance with updated regulations. The act is set to take effect six months after receiving approval from the Governor.
