AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 613 OF 1986, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN RICHLAND COUNTY, SO AS TO REAPPORTION THE FOUR SINGLE-MEMBER ELECTION DISTRICTS FROM WHICH THE TRUSTEES OF RICHLAND COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE ARE ELECTED, TO DESIGNATE A MAP NUMBER ON WHICH THESE SINGLE-MEMBER ELECTION DISTRICTS ARE DELINEATED, AND TO PROVIDE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE REAPPORTIONED ELECTION DISTRICTS.

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

Richland County School District One Reapportioned

SECTION    1.    Act 613 of 1986 is amended by adding Section 2A to read:

"Section    2A.    (1)    In Richland County School District One, one trustee must be elected from each of the four defined single-member election districts established in this section and three trustees must be elected from the district at large. In 1986 and every four years thereafter, successors to the three members of the board whose terms expire in 1986 must be elected from election districts 1 and 3 respectively and one member must be elected at large. In 1988 and every four years thereafter, successors to the four members of the board whose terms expire in 1988 must be elected from election districts 2 and 4 respectively and two members must be elected at large.

(2)    Notwithstanding another provision of law or of this act, beginning with the 2016 school district elections, the four defined single-member election districts from which one member of the board of trustees of Richland County School District One must be elected are as shown on the Richland County School District One map S-79-01-16 as prepared and maintained by the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office shall provide a certified copy of the map to the school district and the Richland County Board of Voter Registration and Elections. The official map must not be changed except by an act of the General Assembly or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(3)    The demographic information shown on this map is as follows:
