Dismisses pending charges for unlawful handgun possession before the 2024 Constitutional Carry Act.
The bill amends South Carolina law to require the dismissal of pending charges for unlawful possession of a handgun that occurred before the 2024 Constitutional Carry Act. It specifies that this dismissal does not apply to charges used as probable cause for other offenses from the same incident. The dismissal also cannot be used in civil actions related to the arrest. The state must dismiss these charges, and the dismissal does not mandate the dismissal of other related charges.
