AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 56‑5‑2780, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO PENALTIES IMPOSED FOR UNLAWFULLY PASSING A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A FIRST OFFENSE VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS THAT PROVIDE THAT IT IS UNLAWFUL TO PASS A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS MUST BE TRIED IN MAGISTRATE’S COURT, AND PROVIDE A DEFINITION FOR PRIOR OFFENSES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Unlawfully passing a stopped school bus
SECTION 1. Section 56‑5‑2780(A) of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 138 of 1995, is amended to read:
“(A) A driver of a vehicle violating Section 56‑5‑2770(a) or (e) is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or forfeiture of bail for a first offense must be fined not less than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days. In lieu of imprisonment, the court may require that the individual complete an appropriate term of community service of not fewer than ten days upon terms and conditions the court considers proper. A first offense for a violation of Section 56‑5‑2770(a) or (e) must be tried exclusively in magistrate’s court.
Upon conviction, entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or forfeiture of bail for a second or subsequent violation of Section 56‑5‑2770(a) or (e), a person is guilty of a misdemeanor and must be fined not less than two thousand dollars or more than five thousand dollars or imprisoned for not fewer than thirty days and not more than sixty days. For purposes of this section, only those offenses which occurred within a period of five years including and immediately preceding the date of the last offense shall constitute prior offenses.”
