A South Carolina state representative amended a bill that would require alleged domestic violence offenders to wear a GPS monitoring device if the defendant is allowed to be released on bail.
Rep. William Bailey sponsored the bill and amended it on Wednesday to included alleged domestic violence offenders."notified at all times of the person's immediate location," the bill reads.
The bill also provides procedures for monitoring the device and includes penalties for tampering with it. The cost for the tracking devices is expected to be paid for by"the appropriate law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the offense."The Cynthia L. Bischof Foundation -- an organization dedicated to providing resources for victims of domestic violence and to advocate for these types of laws for states.
South Carolina joins 10 other states that are in primary stages of getting this bill passed into law.Requests for comment from McMaster and Bailey were not immediately received.
