AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 902 OF 1964, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE ABBEVILLE COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, SO AS TO INCREASE THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE COMMISSION FROM SEVEN TO ELEVEN MEMBERS.

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

Membership increased

SECTION 1. Section 3 of Act 902 of 1964, as last amended by Act 575 of 1992, is further amended to read:

"Section 3. The commission is composed of eleven resident electors of the county to be appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of a majority of the Abbeville County Legislative Delegation. The terms of the directors are for four years or until their successors are appointed and qualify.

Immediately upon the appointment of the commission, it shall organize by electing a chairman, a vice chairman, a secretary, and a treasurer. The officers of the commission shall hold office for terms of two years and until their successors are chosen and qualify. However, with the voting approval of a majority of the members of the commission, the officers may succeed themselves for an additional term. It is the duty of the commission to see that a record of the appointees to the commission is filed in the clerk of court's office in Abbeville County, so as to indicate the persons holding office as members of the commission and the duration of their respective terms. No member of the commission may receive any compensation for his services as a member of the commission. Membership on the commission may not be construed to be an office of honor or profit. The treasurer must be bonded in the amount of one and one-half times the balance credited to the commission's bank account or its anticipated annual income. All expenditures must be by check signed jointly by the treasurer and the chairman."

Time effective

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