The bill S. 191 proposes an amendment to Section 17-13-150 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the requirements for serving a search warrant. The key change involves the removal of the requirement to provide a copy of the supporting affidavit when a search warrant is served. Instead, the bill stipulates that the person served with the warrant must be provided with a copy of the warrant itself and, upon request, a copy of the inventory of items taken during the search.

This amendment aims to streamline the process of serving search warrants by eliminating the need for the affidavit, while still ensuring that individuals have access to the warrant and can request an inventory of seized items. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
