South Carolina H3066 amends sentencing laws to allow for sentence reductions based on substantial assistance to the state.

South Carolina H3066 amends Section 17-25-65 of the state code to allow courts to reduce a defendant's sentence if they provided substantial assistance to the state. This includes providing information after sentencing that was not known to the defendant until more than one year later, or aiding a Department of Corrections employee or volunteer in danger. The state must file a motion for sentence reduction within one year of sentencing, or more than one year if the information was not useful until later.
