The bill requires South Carolina food service establishments that serve foreign imported shrimp to display disclaimers on their menus and at their main entrances. The disclaimers inform customers about the presence of foreign imported shrimp in the food served and prompt them to seek further information. Failure to comply results in warnings or civil fines. The act becomes effective 120 days after the Governor's approval.
