The bill H. 3933 proposes amendments to Section 33-36-1330 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically regarding the governance structure of public service districts. It establishes a seven-member board to oversee these districts and modifies the appointment procedure for board members. The bill stipulates that the initial governing board will consist of existing directors until their terms expire, after which the board will be composed of seven members. The appointment of these members will be based on recommendations from the current board and will be made by the respective county legislative delegations, ensuring representation proportional to the number of customers in each county.
Additionally, the bill outlines a detailed process for determining the number of members each county can appoint based on customer distribution within the public service district. It includes provisions for staggered terms, limiting members to two consecutive terms, and specifies that vacancies must be filled in the same manner as original appointments. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
