COMMITTEE REPORT

March 14, 2000

H. 4453

Introduced by Reps. McGee and McKay

S. Printed 3/14/00--H.

Read the first time January 18, 2000.

            

THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND PUBLIC WORKS

To whom was referred a Bill (H. 4453), to amend Section 56-3-3310, as amended, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, relating to the issuance of Purple Heart license plates, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RONALD P. TOWNSEND, for Committee.

STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

REVENUE IMPACT1

This bill would have no impact on general fund or state infrastructure bank revenues in FY 2000-01.

Explanation

This bill would allow Purple Heart recipients to purchase a special license plate for a maximum of two private passenger vehicles registered in their names. Previously, only one plate could be issued to a person. Based on prior sales of these plates, the BEA estimates that no more than 250 additional plates would be issued yearly. Since no special fee is required for these plates other than the regular $24 biennial registration fee, which goes to the general fund, there would be no revenue impact on the general fund for any additional plates. Also, this bill would have no impact on state infrastructure bank revenues since it does not apply to fees required under Section 56-3-660.

Approved By:

William C. Gillespie

Board of Economic Advisors

1/ This statement meets the requirement of Section 2-7-71 for a state revenue impact, Section 2-7-76 for a local revenue impact, and Section 6-1-85(B) for an estimate of the shift in local property tax incidence.

STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES:

Minimal (Some additional costs expected but can be absorbed)

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON FEDERAL & OTHER FUND EXPENDITURES IS:

$0 (No additional expenditures or savings are expected)

EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:

The Department of Public Safety states the cost to revise the number of license plate issued to a Purple Heart recipient would be a one-time cost of $6,953 for manufacturing and decal costs.

Approved By:

Les Boles

Office of State Budget

A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 56-3-3310, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF PURPLE HEART LICENSE PLATES, SO AS TO REVISE THE NUMBER OF LICENSE PLATES THAT MAY BE ISSUED TO A PURPLE HEART RECIPIENT.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 56-3-3310 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 422 of 1996, is further amended to read:

"Section 56-3-3310. The department may issue a permanent special motor vehicle license plate to a recipient of the Purple Heart for use on a private passenger motor vehicle. The biennial fee for the special license plate is the same as the fee provided in Article 5, Chapter 3 of this Title, and only one plate not more than two license plates may be issued to a person. The application for a special plate must include proof the applicant is a recipient of the Purple Heart."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
