This bill amends South Dakota law to introduce a new specialty plate emblem specifically for "Share the road bicyclist safety." The amendment modifies section 32-5-167, which outlines the types of specialty plate emblems available to motor vehicle owners. The existing options include emblems for organizations, first responders, and organ donors, and the new addition will allow for the promotion of bicyclist safety on the roads.

By adding the "Share the road bicyclist safety" emblem to the list of available specialty plates, the bill aims to raise awareness about the importance of sharing the road with cyclists and enhancing their safety. This initiative reflects a growing recognition of the need for improved road safety measures for all users, particularly vulnerable road users like bicyclists.
