The bill H. 3070 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Tort Claims Act by specifically removing 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 governmental immunity by eliminating the ability to hold these entities liable for such proceedings, thereby reinforcing their protection under the law.

In addition to this significant deletion, the bill maintains a comprehensive list of other exceptions to governmental liability, which includes various actions and inactions related to legislative, judicial, and administrative functions, as well as specific circumstances involving public safety and property management. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, ensuring that the changes to the Tort Claims Act are implemented promptly.
