The bill, S. 502, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that requests the Department of Transportation to name a specific stretch of Knights Hill Road in Kershaw County as the "Steeplechase Thoroughfare of America." This section runs from Springdale Drive to Carter Street and aims to honor Camden's significant contributions to the sport of steeplechase racing, which has earned the city the title of "Steeplechase Capital of the World." The resolution highlights Camden's rich equestrian tradition, including events like the Carolina Cup and the Colonial Cup, and the presence of the National Steeplechase Museum, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the sport.

In addition to the naming request, the resolution also calls for the erection of appropriate markers or signs at the designated location to commemorate this recognition. The bill emphasizes the importance of the equine industry to Camden's economy and cultural identity, asserting that naming this road would serve as a tribute to the city's pivotal role in steeplechase racing and its ongoing contributions to equestrian excellence. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for action.
