The bill H. 5241 proposes to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Article 156 to Chapter 3, Title 56, which allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue "Order of the Palmetto" special license plates. These plates are designated for owners of private passenger motor vehicles who are recipients of the Order of the Palmetto. The bill stipulates that the production and distribution of these plates will follow the requirements outlined in Section 56-3-8100, and the biennial fee for the plates will be the same as the regular registration fee specified in Article 5, Chapter 3 of the title.

The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, thereby enabling recipients of the Order of the Palmetto to display their recognition through a specialized license plate. This initiative aims to honor individuals who have received this prestigious award while also streamlining the process for obtaining the special plates.
