The bill H. 3866 aims to amend Section 59-63-32 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the requirements for adults enrolling children in public schools. The amendment introduces a requirement for adults to provide valid and current government-issued identification when enrolling a child. Specifically, the bill mandates that the adult must produce one of several acceptable forms of identification, including a South Carolina driver's license, a photo ID issued by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, a U.S. passport, military identification, or a South Carolina voter registration card with a photograph.

Additionally, the bill retains the existing requirements for the adult to complete and sign an affidavit confirming the child's residency qualifications, attesting that the child's residency is not primarily for attending a specific school, and accepting responsibility for the child's educational decisions. The changes are designed to enhance the verification process for student enrollment in public schools, ensuring that proper identification is presented to school districts. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
