Drive-by Shootings

Introduced·1/14/25

Expands drive-by shooting laws to include more locations and mandates life imprisonment without parole for causing bodily injury.

This bill amends South Carolina's drive-by shooting laws to include more locations where discharging firearms is unlawful, such as schools, churches, shopping areas, and public gatherings. It also mandates life imprisonment without parole for anyone causing bodily injury through such offenses. The bill ensures that existing legal actions and penalties remain unaffected by these changes.
