South Carolina H3133 amends vehicle lighting laws to clarify tail lamp requirements and exempts inoperable tail lamps from traffic stops unless.

South Carolina H3133 amends Section 56-5-4530 of the state code to specify that either a tail lamp or a separate lamp must illuminate the rear registration plate with a white light, making it legible from fifty feet. The bill also mandates that these lamps must be wired to light up whenever the headlights or auxiliary driving lamps are on. Notably, law enforcement officers are prohibited from stopping drivers solely for having inoperable tail lamps, unless another motor vehicle law is violated. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
