AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 6-25-60, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF A JOINT MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM, SO AS TO AUTHORIZE THE APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONERS BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF A MEMBER OF THE SYSTEM.

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

Additional commissioners authorized

SECTION 1. Section 6-25-60(a) of the 1976 Code is amended by adding the following paragraph at the end:

"If the commissioners unanimously designate any member for additional representation, then the governing body of any member designated is entitled to appoint up to two additional representatives to be commissioners of the joint system. These additional commissioners have the same power and authority and are subject to the same limitations as the commissioners initially appointed. Once the membership of a commission has been increased in this manner, the additional votes provision of the preceding paragraph no longer applies to the commission."

Time effective

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
