The bill H. 5573 proposes amendments to Act 813 of 1946, which governs the composition of the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium Commission. The key change involves increasing the number of commission members from thirteen to fourteen, with the addition of one ex officio member. The bill outlines the appointment process for the commission members, specifying that five members will be appointed by a special joint committee consisting of representatives from the Spartanburg City Council and the Auditorium Commission, while two members will be appointed by the Spartanburg City Council and four by the Spartanburg County Council. The Mayor of Spartanburg, the Chairman of the Spartanburg County Council, and the Chairman of the Spartanburg County Legislative Delegation will serve as nonvoting ex officio members with voting rights.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that all appointed members will serve four-year terms, with provisions for staggering terms to ensure continuity. It also establishes that no commissioner may serve more than two consecutive full four-year terms, and a commissioner is eligible for reappointment only after a one-year hiatus following their second consecutive term. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
