Prohibition of Discrimination in Contracts in South Carolina

The bill amends the South Carolina Code to prohibit public entities from awarding contracts, subcontracts, grants, or any other public benefit based on race. It voids any policy, rule, regulation, or practice that classifies, prioritizes, or discriminates based on race. Any contract provision that violates this provision is void and unenforceable. The act also repeals certain sections of the S.C. Code that conflict with this provision.
