TERMS OF MEMBERS OF STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR OR
ELECTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND PROVIDE

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina:
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 2-1-217. 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.
