Amend the bill further, SECTION 1, by adding:

Chapter 1, Title 1 of the S.C. Code is amended by adding:

 Section 1-1-1980. When determining admissions, a public institution of higher learning may not grant preferential treatment to an applicant based on legacy status. Both undergraduate and graduate admissions decisions must be made without regard to legacy status, and no applicant with legacy status may receive preferential treatment over any other applicant based on legacy status.
