A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 1-7-330 OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS, 1976, RELATING TO ATTENDANCE AT CIRCUIT COURTS AND PREPARATION OF DOCKETS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE FOR CIRCUIT COURT RATHER THAN THE CIRCUIT SOLICITOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE ORDER OF CASES FOR THE GENERAL SESSIONS DOCKETS.

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

SECTION 1. Section 1-7-330 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 1-7-330. The solicitors shall attend the courts of general sessions for their respective circuits. Preparation of the dockets for general sessions courts shall be exclusively vested in the circuit solicitor. The and the solicitor chief administrative judge for circuit court shall determine the order in which cases on the docket are called for trial. Provided, however, that no later than seven days prior to the beginning of each term of general sessions court, the solicitor chief administrative judge in each circuit shall prepare and publish a docket setting forth the cases to be called for trial during the term."

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

----XX----
