A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 20-7-600, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO TAKING A CHILD INTO CUSTODY AND NOTIFICATION TO HIS PARENTS AND APPROPRIATE AGENCIES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT WHEN A CHILD IS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY FOR AN OFFENSE WHICH WOULD BE A MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY IF COMMITTED BY AN ADULT, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ALSO SHALL NOTIFY THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL IN WHICH THE CHILD IS ENROLLED, IF ANY, OF THE NATURE OF THE OFFENSE, AND TO PROVIDE THAT THE PRINCIPAL MAY USE THIS INFORMATION FOR MONITORING AND SUPERVISORY PURPOSES BUT OTHERWISE MUST KEEP THIS INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL.

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

"(I) When a child is taken into custody by a law enforcement officer for an offense which would be a misdemeanor or felony if committed by an adult, not including any traffic or wildlife violations over which courts other than the family court have concurrent jurisdiction as provided in Section 20-7-410, the law enforcement officer also shall notify the principal of the school in which the child is enrolled, if any, of the nature of the offense. This information may be used by the principal for monitoring and supervisory purposes but otherwise must be kept confidential by the principal in the same manner required by Section 20-7-780."

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