The bill H. 3856 proposes several amendments to the South Carolina Code of Laws, primarily focusing on the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) regulations. 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. The bill also establishes a cause of action for inaccuracies in identification cards or driver's records. Additionally, it defines "rental trailer" in Section 56-3-20 and allows for the issuance of permanent license plates for rental trailers, while also revising the criteria for dealer license plates and the fees associated with wholesale motor vehicle auction licenses.

Further amendments include updates to the definitions of "bus" and the expiration dates for driver instructor permits, as well as changes to the points system for evaluating dealer performance records. The bill aims to streamline various DMV processes, enhance the accuracy of identification information, and clarify the regulations surrounding vehicle registration and dealer licensing. The act is set to take effect six months after receiving approval from the Governor.
