The bill S. 660 proposes an amendment to Section 44-7-320 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs the denial, revocation, or suspension of medical facility licenses. The key change introduced by this bill is the stipulation that it is a violation for medical facilities to use dialysate or dialysis products that are not made in the United States on patients under the age of twenty-one years. This requirement includes an exception for situations where the practitioner's good faith medical judgment indicates an immediate threat to the patient's life or physical health.

Additionally, the bill outlines the penalties for violations, specifying that a facility found in violation of this new provision will incur a penalty of five hundred dollars per occurrence. The bill also maintains existing provisions regarding the denial, suspension, or revocation of licenses based on various other violations and establishes a process for contesting such determinations. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
