Bill > H3829

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to specify that the scent of marijuana, cannabis, or hemp, whether burnt or not, does not provide law enforcement with reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop, search, seize, or arrest a person or vehicle. The bill aims to prevent law enforcement from using the mere odor of marijuana as justification for such actions, ensuring that additional evidence is required to establish reasonable suspicion or probable cause. The bill also provides that any repealed or amended laws under this act will remain in effect for pending actions, rights, duties, or liabilities until the effective date of the act.
