    The assigned judge shall enter an order denying leave to file a second or successive application for a writ of habeas corpus unless:

            (1)    The applicant identifies newly discovered evidence that, if proven and viewed in light of the evidence as a whole, would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that no reasonable fact finder would have found the applicant guilty of the underlying offense; or

            (2)    The application raises a new rule of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the United States Supreme Court, that was previously unavailable. The grant or denial of an authorization by the circuit court to file a second or subsequent application shall not be appealable.

    Section 6. That § 21-27-16.1 be repealed.

    21-27-16.1. All grounds for relief available to a petitioner under this chapter shall be raised in his original, supplemental or amended application. Any ground not raised, finally adjudicated or knowingly and understandingly waived in the proceedings resulting in his conviction or sentence or in any other proceeding that the applicant has taken to secure relief from his conviction, or sentence, may not be the basis for a subsequent application, unless the court finds grounds for relief asserted

which for reasonable cause were omitted or inadequately raised in the original, supplemental, or amended application. ".
