H 5503: Liquor Liability Insurance

This bill proposes to remove the state law that currently requires liquor license holders to carry specific liability insurance coverage. By repealing Section 61-2-145 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, the legislation would eliminate this mandatory insurance requirement for businesses selling alcohol. The change directly affects liquor store owners and bars, allowing them to operate without purchasing the previously mandated insurance policies. If passed and signed by the Governor, this act would alter the financial and legal obligations for alcohol retailers in the state.
