A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 23-15-55 SO AS TO ALLOW SHERIFFS AND THEIR DEPUTIES TO SET AND COLLECT BONDS FOR OFFENSES TRIABLE IN MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 23-15-55. The sheriff or his deputy is authorized to set bond for a person arrested by him for an offense triable in magistrate's court. The officer may accept or receive money for a fine, bail, or recognizance upon completion of a summons and receipt in triplicate, acknowledging the receipt of the money, the amount, and the purpose for which it was received. One copy of the summons and receipt must be delivered to the person from whom the money is received. In setting the amount of bond, the officer must follow guidelines prepared by the chief magistrate of the county."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
