H3944 allows electric battery-powered motor vehicles to exceed normal weight limits by up to 2,000 pounds, without surpassing a total of 82,000 pounds.
The South Carolina State House of Representatives passed H3944 on April 22, 2025 by a vote of 87 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government should not grant special exemptions based on the type of vehicle one drives. Such favoritism violates the fundamental principle of equal protection under the law. Moreover, this bill advances the leftist, globalist climate agenda by incentivizing electric vehicles in line with the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 climate goals.
