South Carolina bill to affirm biological sex in child welfare and placement.
The South Carolina Parental Rights to Affirm Biological Sex in Child Welfare and Placement Act aims to ensure that affirming a child's biological sex is recognized as a positive factor in child welfare proceedings. It protects parents' and guardians' rights to encourage a child to identify with their biological sex, including in making medical decisions. The act also mandates that South Carolina agencies consider a child's biological sex as a positive factor in foster care placements and prohibits discrimination against foster parents who support this affirmation.
