The bill S. 522 proposes amendments to Act 1235 of 1970, specifically changing the names of the Charleston County Airport District and the Charleston County Aviation Authority to the Charleston Regional Airport District and the Charleston Regional Aviation Authority, respectively. The amendments are reflected in the updated legal language in Sections 2 and 3 of the Act, which now refer to the new names, allowing the Airport District to operate under the new designation and clarifying the authority's corporate powers and duties.

Additionally, the bill outlines the composition of the Charleston Regional Aviation Authority, which will consist of seven members, including appointments by the Governor and ex officio members from local government. The terms for appointed members are set at four years, with provisions for filling vacancies. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
