Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 20-7-2205 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by an act of 1995 bearing ratification number 585 of 1994, is further amended to read:
"Section 20-7-2205. Notwithstanding Section 20-7-2170, a child who is guilty of a violation of law or other misconduct which would not be a criminal offense if committed by an adult, including a child who has been found in contempt of court for violation of a court order related to the violation or misconduct or a child who violates the conditions of probation for an offense, must not may be committed to the custody of a secure correctional institution operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice or to secure evaluation centers operated by the department for a determinate period not to exceed ninety days and without first temporarily committing the child to an evaluation center; however, the department may conduct any evaluation it considers necessary. A child committed under this section may not be confined with a child who has been adjudicated delinquent for committing a violent crime as defined in Section 16-1-60."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
