TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING 
SECTION 56-19-480, RELATING TO THE TRANSFER, SURRENDER, AND ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN 
CERTIFICATES OF TITLE, LICENSE PLATES, REGISTRATION CARDS, AND MANUFACTURERS' 
SERIAL PLATES OF VEHICLES SOLD AS SALVAGED, ABANDONED, SCRAPPED, OR DESTROYED, 
SO AS TO PROVIDE IN ADDITION TO OTHER REQUIREMENTS, THE OWNERS OF REBUILT, 
SALVAGE, SALVAGE FLOOD, OR SALVAGE FIRE VEHICLES MAY NOT BE ISSUED CERTIFICATES 
OF TITLE UNLESS THE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH CERTAIN SAFETY FEATURES.

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

SECTION 1. Section 56-19-480(E) of the S.C. Code is amended to 
read:

 (E) If a salvage, salvage flood, or 
salvage fire vehicle is rebuilt, a regular certificate of title may not again 
be issued except upon submission of an application stating that the vehicle has 
been rebuilt and containing the information ordinarily required by the 
department for the issuance of a certificate of title as well as any 
information the department may require about the identity of the vehicle, the 
source and cost of any parts used in, and the 
extent of any repairs or other work done to the vehicle, 
and that the rebuilt vehicle is equipped with safety features that include, but 
are not limited to, air bags, three-point restraint systems, and gas tank fuel-spill 
prevention devices that have been installed and are operational. The 
owner shall follow the procedure prescribed by the department if he is seeking 
a rebuilt brand on a title. Any regular certificate of title issued by the 
department for a previously salvaged vehicle must be annotated to show that the 
vehicle was "salvaged rebuilt" and the reason why the vehicle was "salvage 
rebuilt," "salvage flood rebuilt," or "salvage fire rebuilt."

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