AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 51-13-1720, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS FOR THE OLD JACKSONBOROUGH HISTORIC DISTRICT AUTHORITY, SO AS TO REDUCE THE BOARD TO SEVEN MEMBERS, AND TO CHANGE THE MANNER IN WHICH TWO APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Membership of Board of Regents for the Old Jacksonborough District Authority

SECTION    1.    Section 51-13-1720 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 279 of 2012, is further amended to read:

"Section 51-13-1720.    The authority must be governed by a board of regents consisting of seven members, as follows:

(a)    one member appointed by the Senator in whose district the present Village of Jacksonborough is located. The member must be a resident of this State;

(b)    one member appointed by the Representative in whose district the present Village of Jacksonborough is located. The member must be a resident of this State;

(c)    four members resident in Colleton County appointed by the Governor upon recommendation of the Colleton County Legislative Delegation;

(d)    one member appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate who resides in the congressional district in which the present Village of Jacksonborough is located.

The terms of the members must be for four years and until their successors are appointed and qualify except that those originally appointed to the board of regents, four shall serve two years and three shall serve for four years. The length of such terms must be determined by lot. In the case of a vacancy, the vacancy must be filled in the manner of the original appointment for the unexpired portion of the term only. The board of regents, upon being appointed, shall meet and elect a chairman and other officers it considers necessary from its membership."

Time effective

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor. However, any member serving on the effective date of this act may continue to serve until their term expires, at which time the succeeding member must be appointed pursuant to the provisions of this act.
