COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) _ A South Carolina House committee has approved two measures that would offer religious license plates to the options offered drivers in the state.
The tags that show the image of a cross and the words "I Believe" were approved Wednesday by the Education and Public Works Committee. The panel also gave a nod to the tags in a bill that would create tags that honor Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans.
Both bills started in the Senate, but amendments to them mean they'll likely head back to the Senate if the House approves them next week.
The American Civil Liberties Union has questioned the state's role in putting faith on display with a tag. The organizations says people can do that already with bumper stickers.
