The bill H. 4676 proposes an amendment to Section 56-3-1910 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the issuance of handicapped license plates. The key change introduced by this bill is the inclusion of autism as a qualifying condition for obtaining a handicapped license plate. Specifically, the definition of "handicapped" is expanded to include individuals diagnosed with autism, thereby allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue handicapped license plates to autistic persons.

This amendment aims to recognize the mobility challenges that some individuals with autism may face, aligning the state's provisions with a broader understanding of disabilities. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Committee on Education and Public Works and will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
