vote, the House tentatively
has passed legislation imposing
tougher penalties on
persons convicted of
smuggling drugs into South
Carolina.
The bill for the first time
makes it illegal to smuggle
narcotics into the state.
Previously, law enforcement
officers had to rely on
possession laws to prosecute
offenders.
The legislation passed 1010,
drawing applause from
lawmakers, who debated the
bill extensively.
The measure was
prompted by an epidemic of
drug smugglings off the
South Carolina coast in

made.
The measure calls for
sentences of one to 30 years
upon conviction of
smuggling 10 pounds or
more into the state. The bill
also calls for fines ranging
from $10,000 to $200,000.
Hep. Thomas Hughston, DGreenwood,
said the
legislation brings South
Carolina in line with drug
penalties in neighboring
states and therefore should
eliminate the state as a
haven for drug smugglers.
The legislation also sets
forth sentences and fines for

smuggling cocaine, morphine,

other narcotics.
