AI Summary

This bill amends South Carolina law by requiring retailers selling tangible personal property (physical goods) to make their restroom facilities available upon request to customers or potential customers who enter their place of business. If a business has multiple restrooms, they may designate specific restrooms for particular sexes. The law specifies that these requirements are additional to existing regulations about restroom facilities in public establishments like restaurants. The bill would take effect immediately after receiving the governor's approval, and it represents a new section (39-1-100) in the state's legal code. The provisions aim to ensure customer access to restroom facilities in retail establishments, potentially improving customer convenience and service standards across the state.
