Prohibits public entities in South Carolina from requiring race disclosure on admission or employment applications.
The bill amends the South Carolina Code to add a new article prohibiting public entities from requiring individuals to disclose their race on any application for admission or employment. A "public entity" includes any agency, office, division, or other unit of the state, institutions of higher learning, public school districts, and public charter schools. This change aims to ensure that race is not a factor in admission or employment decisions within the state. The act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
