Introduced Text

South Carolina H3153 prohibits marijuana tests during urinalyses or blood tests for probationers.

South Carolina H3153 amends the conditions of probation to prohibit tests for the presence of marijuana during urinalyses or blood tests for probationers. This bill modifies Section 24-21-430 of the South Carolina Code to ensure that probationers are not subjected to marijuana tests as part of their probation conditions. The law enforcement officer must verify the probationer's status before conducting any search or seizure. This change aims to prevent the misuse of searches and seizures without a warrant for harassment purposes.
