This section contained a cross reference to Section 16-3-1530 which was substantially rewritten by Act 141 of 1997 and is no longer an applicable cross reference. However, substantially the same text is found in Article 15, Chapter 3, Title 16, and accordingly the cross reference has been changed to reflect the proper text.
