Golf carts

Chamber Passed·3/27/26

South Carolina bill H4688 mandates safety belt use for golf cart passengers under twelve on public streets and highways.

South Carolina bill H4688 amends the state code to require that golf cart passengers under twelve years old wear fastened safety belts when the cart is operated on public streets and highways. This requirement does not apply to golf carts owned by a golf course and operated in conjunction with playing golf on the same course. The bill takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
