The bill H. 3015 proposes an amendment to Section 44-34-110 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs the licensing of tattoo facilities. The amendment allows for the issuance of a license for a tattoo facility if all churches, schools, and playgrounds within a specified area affirmatively state that they do not object to the issuance. This change introduces a new provision that requires applicants to obtain written statements from the decision-making bodies of local churches, playground owners, and school boards indicating their lack of objection to the license.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if multiple churches, schools, or playgrounds are located within the defined parameters, the applicant must secure statements from all of them. It also allows for schools to withdraw their non-objection statements during the license renewal period. The Department of Health is granted the authority to create regulations necessary for implementing these new provisions. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
