Bill > S0892

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to provide that the scent of marijuana, cannabis, or hemp, whether burnt or not, alone does not give law enforcement reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop, search, seize, or arrest a person or vehicle. The bill aims to limit the use of marijuana odor as justification for certain law enforcement actions. It also includes a provision to ensure that any pending actions, rights, duties, or liabilities under the previous law are not affected by the amendment. The bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
