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. Importantly, the bill prohibits discrimination in the admission or removal of guests based on race, color, national origin, sex, physical disability, or creed.

Additionally, the bill establishes a formal notification process for guests being asked to leave, requiring written notice that informs them of their removal and the consequences of remaining on the premises. It also allows park operators to disconnect utilities for guests with outstanding accounts and provides guidelines for law enforcement involvement in removing guests who violate park rules. The bill further allows for additional grounds for ejection to be included in written lease agreements between park operators and guests. This legislation will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
