AI Summary
This bill amends Section 17-13-150 of the South Carolina Code of Laws regarding the procedures for serving search warrants. Currently, when a person is served with a search warrant, they must be given a copy of the warrant and the supporting affidavit. The proposed change removes the requirement to provide the affidavit, instead mandating only that a copy of the warrant be given to the person being served. Additionally, the bill stipulates that if the person from whom property is taken demands a copy of the inventory (a list of items seized during the search), they must be provided with such a copy. The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, potentially simplifying the documentation process for law enforcement when executing search warrants by reducing the paperwork that must be immediately shared with the subject of the search.
