pending or vested right, civil action, special proceeding, criminal prosecution, or appeal existing as of the effective date of this act, and for the enforcement of rights, duties, penalties, forfeitures, and liabilities as they stood under the repealed or amended laws. 2006 S.C. Act No. 379 § 4. By stating that the Act is to have no effect on pending actions, criminal prosecutions, rights, duties, or liabilities, and that all laws repealed or amended by the Act must be treated as remaining in full force and effect, the clear language of the Act indicates that it is prospective. Dickey, 380 S.C. at 405, 669 S.E.2d at 928. Thus, because the legislature clearly and unambiguously specified the Act be applied prospectively, the Act cannot be applied retroactively to Bolin’s case. See id. (<HOLDING>). Therefore, the trial court committed no error
holding retroactive application of the act to prosecution that was pending before the effective date of the act was precluded because the act is prospective holding that the act is not retroactive holding that the act is retroactive holding that section 101 of the act does not apply retroactively to eases not pending on appeal at the time the act became effective holding retroactive application
