The bill S. 1162 aims to amend Act 509 of 1982 concerning the election of trustees for Anderson County School District 2. The proposed changes stipulate that six out of the seven members of the governing body must be elected from designated single-member districts, with specific provisions for the election timeline. Members from Districts 2, 5, and 6 will be elected starting in 2028, while those from Districts 1, 3, and 4 will begin their elections in 2026. Additionally, one member will be elected at large from the entire district.

The bill also clarifies that candidates for the numbered district seats must reside in the respective districts they aim to represent and be elected by the qualified voters of those districts. All seven members will serve four-year terms, and elections will be determined by a plurality vote. The bill is set to take effect upon the Governor's approval.
