The bill S. 618 aims to amend Act 389 of 1907 concerning the composition and election process of the Board of Public Works for the City of Gaffney, South Carolina. It proposes to add two additional commissioners to the board, specifically representing District 6 and District 7, which are defined by geographic boundaries outside the corporate limits of Gaffney. These new commissioners must be qualified electors residing in their respective districts with active utility accounts. The bill outlines the election process for these new positions, mandating that they be elected by a majority of qualified registered voters in a special election scheduled for 2025, with terms aligned to the longest remaining term of existing commissioners.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the election of all commissioners to occur in conjunction with general municipal elections, establishes candidacy filing requirements, and sets procedures for filling vacancies on the board. It also repeals Act 205 of 1953 and Act 128 of 1967, which are related to the board, thereby streamlining the governance structure. The bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
