TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING 
SECTION 16-3-29, RELATING TO THE OFFENSE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER, SO AS TO PROVIDE 
A MANDATORY MINIMUM TERM OF IMPRISONMENT OF FIVE YEARS FOR A VIOLATION.

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 16-3-29 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

 Section 
16-3-29. A person who, with intent to kill, attempts to kill another person 
with malice aforethought, either expressed or implied, commits the offense of 
attempted murder. A person who violates this section is guilty of a felony, and, upon conviction, must be imprisoned for a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years and not 
more than thirty years. A sentence imposed pursuant to this section may not be 
suspended nor may probation be granted.

SECTION 2. The repeal or amendment by this act 
of any law, whether temporary or permanent or civil or criminal, does not affect 
pending actions, rights, duties, or liabilities founded thereon, or alter, 
discharge, release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred 
under the repealed or amended law, unless the repealed or amended provision 
shall so expressly provide. After the effective date of this act, all 
laws repealed or amended by this act must be taken and treated as remaining in 
full force and effect for the purpose of sustaining any pending or vested 
right, civil action, special proceeding, criminal prosecution, or appeal 
existing as of the effective date of this act, and for the enforcement of 
rights, duties, penalties, forfeitures, and liabilities as they stood under the 
repealed or amended laws.

SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
