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 owners to apply for a plate that promotes bicyclist safety.

The inclusion of the "Share the Road Bicyclist Safety" emblem aims to enhance awareness and safety for cyclists on the road. This initiative reflects a growing recognition of the importance of sharing road space between motor vehicles and bicycles, thereby promoting safer interactions among all road users.
