South Carolina H4302 mandates that children in foster care be assigned to housing based on their anatomical sex at birth.
South Carolina H4302 amends the state code to require residential facilities receiving state funding to assign youth to housing units based on their anatomical sex at birth. Noncompliant facilities face suspension or termination of state funding. The Department of Social Services monitors compliance and enforces this requirement. This applies to various facilities, including child caring institutions and group homes. Exceptions are made for safety and well-being, provided they do not violate the anatomical sex-based assignment requirement.
