COMMITTEE AMENDMENT ADOPTED

March 24, 1992

S. 665

Introduced by SENATOR Peeler

S. Printed 3/24/92--S.

Read the first time February 14, 1991.

A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 24-21-940, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE DEFINITION OF "PARDON", SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A PARDON OF A CONVICTION DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE CONVICTION RECORD FROM BEING CONSIDERED AS A PRIOR OFFENSE UNDER A STATUTE INCREASING THE PENALTY FOR A SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE.

Amend Title To Conform

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

SECTION 1. Section 24-21-940 A. of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"A. `Pardon' means that an individual is fully pardoned fully from all the legal consequences of his crime and of his conviction, direct and collateral, including the punishment, whether of imprisonment, pecuniary penalty, or whatever else the law has provided. A conviction precludes the conviction record from being considered as a prior offense under a statute increasing the penalty for a subsequent offense."

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