Senate Amendment 1
S 1166 - Session 125 (2023-2024)
Dismissal of pending handgun possession charges
Senator Tedder proposes the following amendment (LC-1166.VR0002S):
Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 17-1-65(B) and inserting:
(B) The State must dismiss all charges pending against a person for unlawful possession of a handgun pursuant to Section 16-23-20 that were nullified by the enactment of the S.C. Constitutional Carry/Second Amendment Preservation Act of 2024, notwithstanding the savings clause contained in SECTION 25 of that act. However, if such unlawful possession of a handgun charge was used as probable cause for another offense arising from the same incident, this section does not mandate that those associated charges be dismissed.
