The bill H. 3801 aims to amend Section 11-35-710 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which outlines exemptions from the state procurement code. Specifically, it seeks to add the planning for repairs to bridges, highways, roads, and other improvements on the state's rights of way to the list of exemptions. This amendment includes certain exceptions to ensure clarity in the application of these exemptions.

The revised legal language specifies that the exemption covers the transportation planning, construction, maintenance, operation, and repair of the aforementioned infrastructure, as well as vehicle and road equipment maintenance and repair. However, it explicitly states that this exemption does not apply to welcome centers operated or staffed by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
