Hutchinson says he will be signing SB 24, also known as the Stand Your Ground bill, but emphasized that there is no need for the bill. Â
âWhile I have often said there is no compelling need for this legislation, I am persuaded by the changes that have been made since it was introduced 2 years ago,â Hutchinson said. There is nothing in the language of the bill that would lead to different outcomes in the criminal justice system. Â
