TO AMEND SECTION 50-11-355, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE OFFENSE OF HUNTING DEER WITHIN THREE HUNDRED YARDS OF A RESIDENCE WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE OWNER AND OCCUPANT, TO LIMIT THIS OFFENSE TO HUNTING DEER WITH A FIREARM AND TO EXCLUDE BOTH A LANDOWNER AND HIS GUEST FROM THE PROVISION REQUIRING PERMISSION OF THE OWNER AND OCCUPANT OF A RESIDENCE PRIOR TO HUNTING DEER WITHIN THREE HUNDRED YARDS OF A RESIDENCE WHEN THE LANDOWNER AND HIS GUEST ARE HUNTING ON THE LANDOWNER'S PROPERTY.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 50-11-355 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 50-11-355. It is unlawful to hunt deer with a firearm within three hundred yards of a residence without permission of the owner and occupant. Anyone violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than two hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days. The provisions of this section do not apply to a landowner and his guest hunting on his own land or a person taking deer pursuant to a department permit."
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founded thereon, or alter, discharge, release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under the repealed or amended law, unless the repealed or amended provision shall so expressly provide. After the effective date of this act, all laws repealed or amended by this act must be taken and treated as remaining in full force and effect for the purpose of sustaining any pending or vested right, civil action,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of this act, and for the enforcement of rights, duties, penalties, forfeitures, and liabilities as they stood under the repealed or amended laws.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.
