AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 14-7-130, AS AMENDED, CODE
OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE
PREPARATION OF A JURY LIST FROM A TAPE OF PERSONS
HOLDING A VALID SOUTH CAROLINA DRIVER'S LICENSE OR
IDENTIFICATION CARD, SO AS TO PROVIDE, AMONG OTHER

YEAR THEREAFTER IN THE SAME MONTH, RATHER THAN IN

SAFETY SHALL FURNISH THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION
A COMPUTER TAPE CONTAINING CERTAIN INFORMATION OF
PERSONS OVER EIGHTEEN AND CITIZENS OF THE UNITED

SOUTH CAROLINA DRIVER'S LICENSE OR AN IDENTIFICATION

Dates changed; etc.
SECTION 1. Section 14-7-130 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by an
act of 1996 bearing ratification number 459, is further amended to
read:
"Section 14-7-130. In September of 1996 and every third year
thereafter in this same month, the Department of Public Safety shall
furnish the State Election Commission a computer tape of the name,
address, date of birth, social security number, sex, and race of persons
who are over the age of eighteen years and citizens of the United States
residing in each county who hold a valid South Carolina driver's license
or an identification card issued pursuant to Section 57-3-910. In October
of 1996 and every third year thereafter in this same month, the State
Election Commission shall furnish a jury list to county jury
commissioners consisting of a tape or list derived by merging the list of
registered voters in the county with county residents appearing on the
tape furnished by the department, but only those licensed drivers and
identification cardholders who are eligible to register to vote may be
included in the list. Prior to furnishing the list, the commission shall
make every effort to eliminate duplicate names and names of persons
disqualified from registering to vote or voting pursuant to the laws and
Constitution of this State. As furnished to the jury commissioners by the
State Election Commission, the list or tape constitutes the roll of eligible
jurors in the county. Expenses of the Department of Public Safety and
State Election Commission in implementing this section must be borne
by these agencies.
In addition to the above provisions of this section, in September of
those years in which jury lists are not furnished to county jury
commissioners by the State Election Commission, the department shall
furnish the county jury commissioners with a tape or list of newly
licensed drivers or identification card holders over the age of eighteen in
the county added since its last report, and the State Election Commission
shall furnish the county jury commissioners with a tape or list of newly
registered voters in the county added since its last report. The county
jury commissioners are authorized to incorporate these new names into
its roll of eligible jurors in the county."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 21st day of August, 1996. |
