Bill > H3091

This bill amends Section 20-4-60 of the South Carolina Code of Laws related to orders of protection, specifically clarifying the court's authority after holding a hearing for an order of protection. The proposed change modifies the language to explicitly state that after issuing an order of protection following a hearing, the court may take certain actions. While the specific additional actions are not detailed in the provided text, the amendment appears to be a technical clarification of the court's existing powers in cases involving orders of protection. Orders of protection are legal documents issued by a court to protect individuals from harassment, stalking, domestic violence, or other forms of threats. The bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval, which means it becomes law immediately after the Governor signs it.
