TO AMEND THE SOUTH 
CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 6-1-200 SO AS TO PROHIBIT STATE 
AGENCIES, POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, OR ENTITIES THAT ARE SUPPORTED IN WHOLE OR IN 
PART BY PUBLIC FUNDS FROM USING ANY PUBLIC FUNDS TO HOST OR PROVIDE DRAG STORY 
HOURS OR OTHER DRAG SHOWS FOR MINORS UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN; TO ESTABLISH 
PENALTIES; AND TO DEFINE TERMS.

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 1, Chapter 1, Title 6 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
6-1-200. (A)(1) No state agency, 
political subdivision, including school districts, or any entity that is 
supported in whole or in part by public funds may use any public funds to host 
or provide a drag story hour or other drag show attended by minors under the 
age of eighteen. If any such institution whose funding is commingled hosts or 
provides for such a drag story hour or other drag show, the expenditures of the 
drag story hour or other drag show are deemed to be from public funds. If any 
such institution violates the provision of this section, then the appropriate 
official in charge of disbursing public funds, must cease disbursing funds to 
the offending institution.

 (2) No 
state agency, political subdivision, including school districts, or any entity 
that is supported in whole or in part by public funds may host or provide a 
drag story hour or other drag show attended by minors under the age of eighteen 
on its premises or allow the use of its premises by a private entity to host or 
provide a drag story hour or other drag show attended by minors under the age 
of eighteen.

 (B)(1) In addition to the loss of public 
funding by the offending institution pursuant to subsection (A), the Attorney 
General shall:

 (a) 
impose a civil fine against the offending institution of five hundred dollars 
for every person in attendance at a drag story hour or drag show hosted or 
provided by the offending institution, or otherwise occurring on its premises, 
that violates subsection (A), which must be credited to the state general fund; 
and

 (b) 
issue as part of a press release a public reprimand of the offending 
institution and its chief executive officer.

 (2) 
A parent or legal guardian of a minor under the age of eighteen may file a 
private action against an offending institution in a court of law based on an 
actual or threatened violation of this section and obtain compensatory damages, 
injunctive relief, declaratory relief, or other appropriate relief.

 (C) For 
purposes of this section:

 (1) "Drag 
show" means a performance in which a performer exhibits a gender identity that 
is different than the performer's gender assigned at birth using clothing, 
makeup, or other physical markers and sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise 
performs before an audience, including minors under the age of eighteen for 
entertainment, and includes a drag story hour.

 (2) 
"Drag story hour" means a program where drag performers read children's books before 
an audience including minors under the age of eighteen in public spaces such as 
libraries, schools, and bookstores.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
