Trespasser Liability: H.B. 3266 (2015)

South Carolina

Establishes the “Trespasser Responsibility Act,” which provides that a landowner owes no duty to trespassers except to refrain from causing willful or wanton injury.  The act establishes an exception to the “no duty” general rule for artificial improvements made to land that are likely to injure a trespassing child if reasonable care is not taken to prevent the potential harms.
