A BILL
TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976,
BY ADDING SECTION 2-1-210 SO AS TO LIMIT THE TERMS OF
MEMBERS OF STATE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR OR ELECTED BY THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND PROVIDE FOR EXCEPTIONS TO
AND THE OPERATION OF THE PROVISIONS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 2-1-210. 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 twelve
successive years, whichever is longer, unless the person is paid an
annual salary from the general fund of the State. The limitation does not
prevent a person from being elected or appointed to the same body after
an absence of two years. 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
twelve-year limitation are permitted to complete their current
term."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1993.
