The bill S. 586 aims to amend Act 172 of 1995 concerning the Kershaw County Transportation Committee. It proposes to increase the compensation for committee members from seventy-five dollars to ninety dollars for each meeting attended, while the chairman's compensation will remain at one hundred seventy-five dollars. Additionally, the bill stipulates that payments to committee members shall not exceed eighteen meetings per fiscal year, an increase from the previous limit of fifteen meetings.
The proposed changes are reflected in the legal language of the bill, where the terms "seventy-five" and "fifteen" are replaced with "ninety" and "eighteen," respectively. This adjustment is intended to provide fairer compensation for the committee members' service while maintaining a cap on the number of paid meetings per year. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
