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 stipulates 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 modifies the existing requirements for the affidavit that the enrolling adult must complete. The new language clarifies that the affidavit must confirm the adult's qualifications regarding the child's residency, attest that the child's residency claim is not primarily for attending a specific school, and accept responsibility for the child's educational decisions. This legislation is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
