Requires children in foster care to be placed in sex-specific facilities based on their anatomical sex at birth.

The bill amends the South Carolina Code to mandate that children in foster care be placed in residential facilities based on their anatomical sex at birth, as recognized on their original birth certificate. This placement must occur in housing units, sleeping quarters, and other sex-specific facilities. The Department of Social Services is tasked with monitoring compliance and enforcing this provision, with penalties, including licensing sanctions, for non-compliance.
