Every year the Silver Haired Legislature give us a report on recommended legislation. Here’s my favorite one, S. 1001. This bill only makes sense. It limits the the civil liabilities for good samaritans.:
“Section 15-1-315. No licensed driver operating an insured vehicle to transport seniors or persons with disabilities who renders service voluntarily and without compensation or the expectation or promise of compensation, is liable for civil damage beyond the limits of his automobile insurance liability coverage, so long as the driver’s coverage meets the minimum liability requirements for South Carolina, for any act or omission resulting from the rendering of the services unless the act or omission was the result of the licensed driver’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.”
