South Carolina Arson Reporting-Immunity Act

The Arson Reporting Immunity Act governs the exchange of information about fires and suspected arson between insurers and the public authorities that investigate them. It establishes the circumstances under which insurance companies release fire-loss records and related information to authorized investigating agencies, and shields those who report or disclose that information in good faith from liability for having done so, while setting limits on how the information may be used or admitted as evidence. It further provides for enforcement of its terms and preserves the existing authority and jurisdiction of the agencies that investigate and prosecute arson.
