Amends South Carolina law to require circuit court judges to set bond for illegal aliens charged with serious crimes.

This bill amends South Carolina law to require a circuit court judge to set or deny bond and determine conditions of release for individuals charged with crimes carrying a maximum sentence of three years or more who are suspected of being illegal aliens. The bill grants courts contempt powers to enforce these provisions. This change applies to cases where the suspect is believed to be an alien unlawfully present in the United States.
