A BILL

TO CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF RICHLAND-LEXINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT 5, TO NUMBER THE SEATS, AND TO REQUIRE THAT THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION FOR TRUSTEES MUST BE DETERMINED BY A MAJORITY RATHER THAN A PLURALITY.

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

SECTION    1.    (A)    Notwithstanding another provision of law, in Richland-Lexington School District 5:

        (1)    three trustees must reside in Richland County and four must reside in Lexington County; and

        (2)    the results of the election for trustees must be determined in accordance with the nonpartisan election and run-off election method prescribed in Section 5-15-62 of the 1976 Code.

    (B)    Beginning with the election of 2002, the seats for trustees of Richland-Lexington School District 5 must be numbered as follows with each candidate running for a particular seat:

        (1)    the seats presently held by trustees residing in Lexington County whose terms expire in 2004 are seats 1, 2, and 3, respectively;

        (2)    the seat presently held by a trustee residing in Lexington County whose term expires in 2002 is seat 4;

        (3)    the seat presently held by a trustee residing in Richland County whose term expires in 2004 is seat 5;

        (4)    the seat presently held by a trustee residing in Richland County whose term expires in 2002 is seat 6; and

        (5)    the seat presently held by a trustee residing in Lexington County whose term expires in 2002 must be filled in the election of 2002, and thereafter, by a resident of Richland County is seat 7. This trustee must be elected for a four-year term to expire in 2006.

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor and applies to the election of trustees of the Richland-Lexington School District 5 conducted in November 2002.

----XX----
