TO AMEND SECTION 17-22-50, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE PRETRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A PERSON CHARGED WITH A CRIME SET FORTH IN CHAPTER 25 OF TITLE 16 MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR A PRETRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM.

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

SECTION 1. Section 17-22-50 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 17-22-50. A person may not be considered for intervention if he:

(1) has previously been accepted into an intervention program nor may intervention be considered for those individuals; or

(2) has been charged with one or more of the following:

(a) blackmail,;

(b) driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs,;

(c) any traffic-related offense which is punishable only by fine or loss of points,; or

(d) any fish, game, wildlife, or commercial fishery-related offense which is punishable by a loss of eighteen points as provided in Section 50-9-1020,; or

(e) any crime of violence as defined in Section 16-1-60; or

(f) any crime of domestic violence as defined in Chapter 25, Title 16.

However, this section does not apply if the solicitor determines the elements of the crime do not fit the charge."

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