Re: General Sessions Sentencing Sheet

O R D E R

Pursuant to Rule 36, SCRCrimP, the attached revised General Sessions Sentencing Sheet, Form SCCA/217, bearing a revision date of 2/2006, is hereby approved effective immediately, as the sentencing sheet to be used in criminal cases disposed of in General Sessions Courts. Language has been added to the sentencing sheet that allows a judge to order that a defendant be placed on the Central Registry of Child Abuse and Neglect pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. §17-25-135. This sentencing sheet is required to be used in criminal cases to the exclusion of all others. Sentencing sheets bearing a revision date of 7/2003 may be used until the current supply is depleted. This form may be generated locally by clerks of court and solicitors as needed on word processors and/or computers. The computer generated form must include all language in its entirety as is appears in the approved form. The computer generated form cannot include any additional language not found on the approved form and cannot broaden or limit the scope of the approved form.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
