TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 
16-11-460 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT AN ORDER CONCERNING IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION 
PURSUANT TO THE PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY ACT IS IMMEDIATELY APPEALABLE 
AND TO PROVIDE THAT A DEFENDANT WHO DOES NOT APPEAL THE ORDER IMMEDIATELY MAY 
APPEAL THE DENIAL AFTER CONVICTION AND SENTENCING.

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

SECTION 1. Article 6, Chapter 11, Title 16 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
16-11-460. An order concerning a defendant's motion for immunity from 
prosecution pursuant to the provisions of this article is immediately 
appealable. A defendant who does not immediately appeal an order denying a 
request for immunity has nevertheless preserved the issue for appeal after 
conviction and sentencing.

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