The bill H. 4519 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Article 29 to Chapter 1, Title 1, which prohibits public entities from requiring individuals to disclose their race on applications for admission or employment. The term "public entity" is defined to include any agency, office, division, or unit of the state, as well as all political subdivisions, institutions of higher learning, public school districts, and public charter schools.

This legislation is intended to promote equality and prevent discrimination in the application processes for education and employment within public entities in South Carolina. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
