No person may be appointed by the Governor or elected by the General Assembly to a state board or commission who has served two successive full terms or eight successive years, whichever is longer, on such board or commission. However, this limitation does not prevent a person from being elected or appointed to another state board or commission. This section does not apply to life members of the Clemson University Board of Trustees. Persons currently serving on these boards or commissions whose tenure exceeds the two-term or eight-year limitation are permitted to complete their current term."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1995.
