TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING 
SECTION 24-13-40, RELATING TO COMPUTATION OF TIME SERVED BY PRISONERS, SO AS TO 
REMOVE THE PROHIBITION ON PERSONS ON BOND UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES FROM RECEIVING 
CREDIT FOR TIME SERVED.

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

SECTION 1. Section 24-13-40 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

 Section 
24-13-40. The computation of the time served by prisoners under sentences 
imposed by the courts of this State must be calculated from the date of the 
imposition of the sentence. However, when (a) a prisoner shall have given 
notice of intention to appeal, (b) the commencement of the service of the 
sentence follows the revocation of probation, or (c) the court shall have 
designated a specific time for the commencement of the service of the sentence, 
the computation of the time served must be calculated from the date of the 
commencement of the service of the sentence. In every case in computing the 
time served by a prisoner, full credit against the sentence must be given for 
time served prior to trial and sentencing, and may be given for any time spent 
under monitored house arrest. Provided, however, that credit for time served 
prior to trial and sentencing shall not be given: (1) when the prisoner at the 
time he was imprisoned prior to trial was an escapee from another penal 
institution; or (2) when the prisoner is serving a 
sentence for one offense and is awaiting trial and sentence for a second 
offense in which case he shall not receive credit for time served prior to 
trial in a reduction of his sentence for the second offense; (3) when the prisoner commits a subsequent crime while out on 
bond; or (4) has bond revoked on any charge prior to trial or plea.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
