A BILL

TO AMEND ACT 470 OF 2000, RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ELECTION DISTRICTS FROM WHICH MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ROCK HILL SCHOOL DISTRICT 3 OF YORK COUNTY ARE ELECTED, SO AS TO CLARIFY THE BOUNDARIES OF CERTAIN ELECTION DISTRICTS.

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

SECTION    1.    Section 1 of Act 470 of 2000 is amended to read:

"Section    1.    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning with the elections conducted in 2000, the election districts for the members of the Board of Trustees of Rock Hill School District No. 3 of York County are established and delineated on map number SD 91-3-00, maintained by the office of Research and Statistics of the State Budget and Control Board.

(B)(1)    The Board of Trustees of Rock Hill School District No. 3 of York County is composed of seven members elected in a nonpartisan election by the qualified electors of the district with five members required to reside in the five districts delineated in subsection (A) of this section and two elected at large from the district without regard to residency.

(2)    The trustees representing districts 1, 3, and 5 and one at-large seat must be elected at the time of the general election of 2000, and the trustees representing districts 2 and 4 and one at-large seat must be elected at the time of the general election of 2002. Trustees serving on the effective date of this act elected from residency districts 2 and 4 and the at-large seat shall continue to serve until the expiration of their terms in 2002. Thereafter, all terms of office are for four years, until their successors are elected and qualify.

(3)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, beginning with elections conducted in 1996, each candidate for election as a trustee to the school boards in York County School Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4 must file his statement of candidacy with the Registration and Elections Commission for York County for the period beginning no earlier than 12:00 noon on August first and ending no later than 12:00 noon on August thirty-first. However, if either of these dates falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the date is extended until 12:00 noon of the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

(4)    If a seat becomes vacant before the expiration of the incumbent's term of office due to death, resignation, removal, or any other cause, the resulting vacancy must be filled by the board of trustees for the unexpired portion of the term until the next election for trustees is held. (A)    The boundaries of School District No. 3 in York County are not altered by the provisions of this act. These school district lines are as defined by law and any census blocks which may be divided are done so only for statistical purposes and to establish a population base.

(B)    '(P)' indicates a split census block where '(P1)' indicates all population assigned to School District No. 1 and '(P3)' indicates all population assigned to School District No. 3 for statistical purposes only."

SECTION    2.    Section 2 of Act 470 of 2000 is amended to read:

"Section    2.    The boundaries of School District No. 3 in York County are not altered by the provisions of this act. These school district lines are as defined by law and any census blocks which may be divided are done so only for statistical purposes and to establish a population base. (A)    Notwithstanding another provision of law, beginning with the elections conducted in 2006, the election districts for the members of the Board of Trustees of Rock Hill School District No. 3 of York County are established as follows:

(B)(1)    The Board of Trustees of Rock Hill School District No. 3 of York County is composed of seven members elected in a nonpartisan election by the qualified electors of the district with five members required to reside in the five districts delineated in subsection (A) of this section and two elected at large from the district without regard to residency.

(2)    The trustees representing districts 1, 3, and 5 and one at-large seat must be elected at the time of the general election of 2008, and the trustees representing districts 2 and 4 and one at-large seat must be elected at the time of the general election of 2006. The trustees serving on the effective date of this act elected from residency districts 2 and 4 and the at-large seat shall continue to serve until the expiration of their terms in 2006. Thereafter, all terms of office are for four years, until their successors are elected and qualify.

(3)    Notwithstanding another provision of law, beginning with elections conducted in 1996, each candidate for election as a trustee to the school boards in York County School Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4 shall file his statement of candidacy with the Registration and Elections Commission for York County for the period beginning no earlier than 12:00 noon on August first and ending no later than 12:00 noon on August thirty-first. However, if either of these dates falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the date is extended until 12:00 noon of the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

(4)    If a seat becomes vacant before the expiration of the incumbent's term of office due to death, resignation, removal, or any other cause, the resulting vacancy must be filled by the board of trustees for the unexpired portion of the term until the next election for trustees is held."

SECTION    3.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
