/ SECTION 1. Section 24-13-1530 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 24-13-1530.
(A) Notwithstanding another provision of law which
requires mandatory incarceration, electronic and nonelectronic
home detention programs may be used as an alternative to
incarceration for low risk, nonviolent adult
and juvenile offenders who have been charged with or
convicted of a crime other than those listed in Section 16-1-60,
with the exception of a drug trafficking offense that carries a
maximum sentence of up to ten years provided they are monitored
by a GPS tracking device and bear the cost of the GPS
device, as selected by the court if there is a home
detention program available in the jurisdiction. Applications by
offenders for home detention may be made to the court as an
alternative to the following correctional programs:
(1)
pretrial or preadjudicatory detention;
(2)
probation (intensive supervision);
(3)
community corrections (diversion);
(4)
parole (early release);
(5)
work release;
(6)
institutional furlough;
(7)
jail diversion; or
(8)
shock incarceration.
(B) Local governments
also may establish by ordinance the same alternative to
incarceration for persons who are awaiting trial and for
offenders whose sentences do not place them in the custody of
the Department of Corrections. Counties and municipalities may
develop home detention programs according to the Minimum
Standards for Local Detention Facilities in South Carolina which
are established pursuant to Section 24-9-20 and enforced
pursuant to Section 24-9-30."
