The Judiciary Committee proposed the following Amendment No. 1 (Doc Name COUNCIL\GGS\AMEND\22878CM01), which was adopted:
Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:
/ SECTION 1. Section 17-1-50 of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 390 of 1998, is amended to read:
"Section 17-1-50. (A) As used in this section:
(1) 'Non-English speaking person' means a principal party in interest or a witness participating in a legal proceeding who has limited ability to speak or understand the English language.
(2) 'Principal party in interest' means a person involved in a legal proceeding who is a named party, or who is bound by the decision or action, or who is foreclosed from pursuing his rights by the decision or action which is taken during the proceeding.
(3) 'Legal proceeding' means a proceeding in which a non-English speaking person is a principal party in interest or a witness.
(4) 'Witness' means a person who testifies in a legal proceeding.
(5) 'Appointing authority' means a trial judge, administrative hearing officer, or another officer authorized by law to conduct a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding.
(6) 'Qualified interpreter' means a person who:
(a) is eighteen years of age or older;
(b) is not a family member of the principal party in interest or a witness;
(c) is not a person confined to an institution;
(d) has education, training, or experience that enables him to speak English and a foreign language fluently, and is readily able to interpret simultaneously and consecutively and to sight translate documents from English into the language of a non-English speaking person, or from the language of that person into spoken English.
(7) 'Certified interpreter' means an interpreter who meets the standards contained in subitem (A)(6) and is certified by the administrative office of the United States courts, by the office of the administrator for the state courts, or by a nationally recognized professional organization.
(B) A "qualified interpreter" means a person who:

An "interpreter" shall not be a person confined to an institution.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever a principal party in interest or witness to a criminal legal proceeding does not sufficiently understand or speak the English language to comprehend the proceeding or testify, the court appointing authority must appoint a certified or otherwise qualified interpreter to interpret the proceedings to the principal party in interest and the testimony of the party or witness. However, the court appointing authority may waive the use of a certified or otherwise qualified interpreter if the court appointing authority finds that it is not necessary for the fulfillment of justice. The court appointing authority must first make a finding on the record that the waiver of a certified or otherwise qualified interpreter is requested by a non-English speaking witness or party to a proceeding, and the appointing authority determines on the record that the waiver has been made knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently in the best interest of the party or witness and that this action is in the best interest of justice.
(C) The court, through the chief administrative judge for the judicial circuit, shall determine a reasonable fee for the interpreting services, which must be paid out of the general fund of the State from funds appropriated to the Judicial Department for this purpose by the General Assembly.
(D) The Division of Court Administration shall appoint a Court Interpreters Advisory Panel which must be comprised of judges, attorneys, court personnel, court interpreters, and experts in the field of linguistics which shall assist the State Supreme Court and the Division of Court Administration in developing policies that include a code of professional responsibility for interpreters, interpreter training, continuing education, and recruitment of interpreters.
(E) The Division of Court Administration shall maintain a centralized list of certified or otherwise qualified interpreters to interpret the proceedings to the principal party in interest and testimony of a party or witness. A principal party in interest or a witness is not precluded from using a qualified interpreter who is not on the centralized list as long as the interpreter meets the requirements of subsection (B) subitem (A)(6) and submits a sworn affidavit to the court specifying his qualifications or submits to a voir dire by the appointing authority."
