TO AMEND SECTION 17-22-50, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO PERSONS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE PRETRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM, SO AS TO EXCLUDE PERSONS FROM THE PROGRAM WHO ARE CHARGED WITH CERTAIN DRIVER'S LICENSE AND ALCOHOL-RELATED OFFENSES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 17-22-50 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 499 of 1992, is further amended to read:
"Section 17-22-50. A person may not be considered for intervention if he has previously been accepted into an intervention program nor may intervention be considered for those individuals charged with blackmail, driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, any traffic-related offense which is punishable only by fine or loss of points, an offense enumerated in Section 56-1-746(A), or any fish, game, wildlife, or commercial fishery-related offense which is punishable by a loss of eighteen points as provided in Section 50-9-1020, or any crime of violence as defined in Section 16-1-60. However, this section does not apply if the solicitor determines the elements of the crime do not fit the charge."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
