A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 17-15-45 SO AS TO REQUIRE THAT A PERSON MUST BE RELEASED FROM CUSTODY NO LATER THAN ONE HOUR AFTER POSTING BOND WITH THE CLERK OF COURT OR OTHER APPROPRIATE OFFICIAL.

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

SECTION    1.    Chapter 15, Title 17 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 17-15-45.    A person who has posted bond pursuant to the provisions of this chapter must be released from custody no later than one hour after posting the bond with the clerk of court or other appropriate official with the authority to accept the bond."

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founded thereon, or alter, discharge, release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under the repealed or amended law, unless the repealed or amended provision shall so expressly provide. After the effective date of this act, all laws repealed or amended by this act must be taken and treated as remaining in full force and effect for the purpose of sustaining any pending or vested right, civil action,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of this act, and for the enforcement of rights, duties, penalties, forfeitures, and liabilities as they stood under the repealed or amended laws.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.
