The bill S. 618 proposes amendments to Act 389 of 1907, which governs the composition of the Board of Public Works for the City of Gaffney, South Carolina. The key changes include the addition of two new commissioners to represent District 6 and District 7, which are defined as areas within Cherokee County outside the corporate boundaries of Gaffney. These new commissioners must be qualified electors residing in their respective districts with active utility accounts. They will be elected during a special election in 2025, with their terms aligned to the longest remaining term of any existing commissioner at that time. The bill also outlines the election process for all commissioners, requiring candidates to file a notice of candidacy and pay a filing fee.

Additionally, the bill repeals Act 205 of 1953 and Act 128 of 1967, which are related to the Board of Public Works. The new provisions specify that all commissioners will serve six-year terms, with elections coinciding with general municipal elections in Gaffney. The bill establishes procedures for filling vacancies on the board, ensuring that any unexpired terms are filled at the next regular or special election, depending on the timing of the vacancy. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
