The bill H. 3509 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 45-2-65, which outlines the circumstances under which a recreational vehicle park operator can remove transient guests from the premises. The bill specifies that guests may be ejected for reasons such as illegal possession of controlled substances, disturbing the peace, causing harm to the park, violating park rules, or failing to pay rent. Importantly, the bill prohibits discrimination in the admission or removal of guests based on race, color, national origin, sex, physical disability, or creed.

Additionally, the bill establishes procedures for notifying guests of their removal, including a written notice that informs them of the park's decision and the consequences of remaining on the premises. It also allows park operators to disconnect utilities for guests with outstanding accounts and provides for the involvement of law enforcement in cases of illegal occupancy. The bill further states that grounds for ejection can also be included in written lease agreements between park operators and guests. This legislation will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
