TO AMEND SECTION 50-11-27, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO PROHIBITIONS AGAINST MIGRATORY WATERFOWL HUNTING AND BAITING ON LAKE MURRAY, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES BASED ON BOAT OR CONGESTION STUDIES OF A PARTICULAR AREA OF LAKE MURRAY, WHERE MIGRATORY WATERFOWL HUNTING COULD ENDANGER HUMAN LIFE, MAY CLOSE THAT PORTION OF LAKE MURRAY TO MIGRATORY WATERFOWL HUNTING.

In addition, the Department of Natural Resources based on boat or congestion studies of a particular area of Lake Murray not covered by this prohibition, where migratory waterfowl hunting could endanger human life, may close that portion of Lake Murray to migratory waterfowl hunting."
