Subcommittee Approves SC Parrot Head License Plates

March 4th, 2006

From WBTW-TV:

Jimmy Buffett fans would be able to buy Parrot Head license tags under a bill that cleared a House subcommittee Tuesday. The legislation sets a $34 price tag for the plates, with $10 going to Alzheimer’s groups in the state.

The subcommittee also approved new specialized plates for Freemasonry and Hunting Island. The bills now head to the full House Education and Public Works Committee for debate.

If the Buffet license tag becomes a reality it will likely be a hit on the Grand Strand. The Coast of Carolina Parrot Club is the biggest in the state with more than 300 members.
