The bill S. 118 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 9-11-95, which allows retired police officers who maintain a constable certification to be employed by one or more law enforcement agencies without being subject to the earnings limitation currently imposed by Section 9-11-90(4). This exemption applies specifically to retired officers who have been certified under Section 23-23-70 and continue to hold their constable certification during retirement.

Under the new provisions, these retired officers, when hired by a law enforcement agency, will be under the direction and control of the agency's head and must be compensated by that agency. Additionally, the bill clarifies that such officers can work for multiple law enforcement agencies simultaneously. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
