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 of permanent license plates for trailers, and updating the requirements for dealer license plates and wholesale motor vehicle auction licenses.

Further amendments address the definitions of "bus," the expiration dates and fees for driver instructor permits, and the points system for evaluating dealer performance records. The bill also modifies the penalties for various violations related to dealer licenses and establishes a process for suspending dealer licenses based on accumulated points. The act is set to take effect six months after being approved by the Governor.
