The bill H. 3070 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Tort Claims Act by specifically deleting the exception that currently allows for the institution or prosecution of any judicial or administrative proceeding against governmental entities. This change aims to clarify the scope of immunity provided to governmental entities under the Tort Claims Act, potentially limiting the circumstances under which individuals can bring legal actions against these entities.

By removing this exception, the bill seeks to reinforce the protections afforded to governmental entities from lawsuits related to judicial or administrative proceedings. The amendment is part of a broader effort to streamline the legal framework surrounding tort claims and to ensure that governmental entities are not held liable in situations that fall under the specified categories of immunity. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
