Amends South Carolina law to redefine attempted murder as committing an unlawful act of a violent nature that causes injury with malice.

The bill amends Section 16-3-29 of the South Carolina Code to redefine attempted murder. It specifies that a person commits the crime if they commit an unlawful act of a violent nature that causes injury to another person with malice, expressed or implied. The offense is classified as a felony, with a maximum prison sentence of thirty years per violation. The sentence cannot be suspended, and probation is not allowed. This change takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
