    1. [SCSPARTA] Private Property Cemetery Access Bill
    2. Janet Moore
    3. Hi everyone: Just to let everyone know about this important bill: After 3.5 years of trying, the following S.65 Private Property Cemetery Access Bill initiated by Senator Larry Martin of Pickens County SC, Carlie Butts of N. Augusta GA and myself, actually gets signed into law! It's not a perfect law, but it certainly is a big-step in the right direction. Relatives can finally visit the graves of love ones located on SC private property, without some jerk-of-a-landowner refusing to let them... View Bill S.65 at <http://www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/bills/65.htm> http://www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/bills/65.htm You may have not experienced this problem in your county, but I assure you that it's not uncommon for landowners wanting you to stay off their property..! (It's also not uncommon for landowners to let their livestock desecrate a cemetery or simply over-plant the graves with crops and claim they didn't do it.)
