The bill H. 3240 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 59-19-75, which prohibits school district trustees from delegating their authority or appointing proxies to vote or act on their behalf. It establishes that any actions taken through such delegations or proxies are considered null and void from the outset (ab initio). Furthermore, trustees who violate this provision by delegating their authority or appointing proxies may face removal by the Governor.

This legislation seeks to ensure that school district trustees maintain direct accountability and responsibility for their decisions, thereby enhancing the integrity of school governance. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
