The bill H. 5473 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Article 15 to Chapter 19, Title 50, which specifically prohibits fishing on the J. Foster Jeffords Causeway in Florence County. The new legal language establishes that it is unlawful for any person to fish at any time on this causeway, which crosses Forest Lake on Knollwood Road.

Violators of this provision may face penalties, including a fine of up to twenty-five dollars or confinement for a period not exceeding thirty days, at the discretion of the court for each separate offense. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Committee on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs and will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
