South Carolina H4090 amends the state code to allow courts to conditionally discharge individuals found guilty of magistrate level offenses. This discharge is contingent on the consent of both the accused and the prosecutor or prosecuting officer. The court may defer further proceedings and place the individual on probation, with terms and conditions set by the court. Upon violation of these terms, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt. Upon fulfillment of the terms, the court shall discharge the individual and dismiss the proceedings.
