The bill S. 718 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 45-2-65, which outlines the conditions under which operators of recreational vehicle parks can remove transient guests. The bill specifies that guests may be removed for reasons such as illegal possession of controlled substances, disturbing the peace, violating park rules, or failing to pay rent. It also emphasizes that removal cannot be based on race, color, national origin, sex, physical disability, or creed. Operators are required to provide written notice to guests requesting their immediate departure, and failure to comply may result in misdemeanor charges.

Additionally, the bill allows operators to disconnect utilities for guests with outstanding accounts exceeding three nights' rent and provides a framework for law enforcement involvement in removing guests who violate park rules. It also permits the establishment of additional grounds for ejection in written lease agreements between park operators and guests. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
