The "Live and Let Live Act" seeks to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by introducing Article 2 to Chapter 32, Title 1, which prohibits state discrimination against individuals and organizations based on their beliefs about marriage and gender identity. The bill underscores the significance of protecting religious freedom and moral convictions, particularly concerning same-sex marriage and gender identity. It defines key terms such as "discriminatory action" and "religious organization," and asserts that the state cannot impose adverse actions against those acting in accordance with their sincerely held beliefs regarding marriage and gender.

Key provisions include protections for religious organizations in matters related to marriage, employment, and housing, as well as for individuals involved in adoption and foster care services. The act allows individuals to file claims against the state for violations of these protections, offering remedies such as compensatory damages and attorney's fees. It also clarifies that its provisions are supplementary to existing laws and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed unconstitutional, the remaining sections will still be enforceable. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
