TO AMEND SECTION 52-7-310, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS
OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO COUNTY
ATHLETIC COMMISSIONS, SO AS TO REVISE THE METHOD OF
APPOINTMENT.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 52-7-310 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by
Act 439 of 1992, is further amended to read:
"Section 52-7-310. The athletic commission of each county
consists of five members to be with two appointed by
the governing body of senators representing the
county, two by the members of the House of Representatives,
representing the county, and one by the mayor of the city having the
largest population within the county. If a county has municipalities with
populations in excess of fifty thousand, that member must be appointed
by the mayors of those municipalities. The appointments are for
terms of four years and until their successors are appointed and qualify.
If no appointment has been made within sixty ninety
days after the State Athletic Commission requests in writing for an
appointment to be made, the State Athletic Commission may make the
appointment. The governing appointing body of the
county shall forward a record of the appointees to the commission
for filing in the office of the State Athletic Commission which indicates
the persons holding office and the duration of their terms. The State
Athletic Commission shall designate the functions of county athletic
commissions. The county athletic commission shall select its chairman
and other officers to serve for terms as the commission may designate.
All of the members Members shall serve without
compensation;. However, they may receive the per
diem, mileage, and subsistence that the county authorizes. No member
may have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in the promotion,
management, or result of any boxing, wrestling, or sparring event. The
office of a commissioner who fails to attend three consecutive
commission meetings is declared vacant, and the vacancy must
be filled as provided by law. No vacancy occurs if the unaffected
commission members vote unanimously to excuse the absences."
SECTION 2. Members of county athletic commissions serving on the
effective date of this act continue to serve until the expiration of their
terms. After the expiration their successors must be appointed as
provided by this act.
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
