A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 16-3-640 SO AS TO CREATE THE OFFENSE OF ASSAULT WHILE ON PROBATION, PAROLE, OR UNDER BOND AND TO PROVIDE A PENALTY.

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

SECTION    1.    Article 7, Chapter 3, Title 16 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 16-3-640.    A person who commits an assault of another person while he is currently on probation, parole, or under bond for another offense, is guilty of the felony offense of assault while on probation, parole, or under bond and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than ten thousand dollars or imprisoned for not more than thirty years, or both."

SECTION 2.    The repeal or amendment by this act of any law, whether temporary or permanent or civil or criminal, does not affect pending actions, rights, duties, or liabilities founded thereon, or alter, discharge, release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under the repealed or amended law, unless the repealed or amended provision shall so expressly provide. After the effective date of this act, all laws repealed or amended by this act must be taken and treated as remaining in full force and effect for the purpose of sustaining any pending or vested right, civil action, special proceeding, criminal prosecution, or appeal existing as of the effective date of this act, and for the enforcement of rights, duties, penalties, forfeitures, and liabilities as they stood under the repealed or amended laws.

SECTION 3.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
