A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 56-5-3880, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE CLOSING OF STATE HIGHWAYS, ROADWAYS, OR BRIDGES FOR RUNNING EVENTS, SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR THE USE OF CERTAIN BRIDGES IN CHARLESTON COUNTY FOR THE COOPER RIVER BRIDGE RUN AND WALK.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 56-5-3880 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 56-5-3880. The South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation may close state highways, roadways, or bridges for the purpose of allowing to allow marathons or other running events when the race or event is open to all persons including the handicapped if in the opinion of the district engineer the race or event may be conducted in a safe manner. The department, the city, the county, the organization, and the sponsors of the race or event are immune from liability except for gross negligence from incidence arising from participation in or association with the race or event.

If the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge is not available for the annual Cooper River Bridge Run and Walk in Charleston County, the Silas N. Pearman Bridge must be made available for the event."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
