Composition of commission

SECTION 1. Section 2 of Act 926 of 1962, as last amended by Act 698 of 1978, is further amended to read:

"Section 2. There is created as an administrative agency of Aiken County a commission, to be known as the 'Aiken County Commission for Technical Education' (Commission), which consists of nine qualified registered electors of Aiken County. All appointments to office of the Commission must be made by the Governor, upon the recommendation of a majority of the legislative delegation, including the senators, from Aiken County. Of those first appointed, two have a term of one year, two have a term of two'years, two have a term of three years, and three have a term of four years. Upon the expiration of the terms of office of those first appointed, successors must be appointed for a term of four years in the same manner as provided for the original appointment. If any vacancy occurs, a successor must be appointed by the Governor for the balance of the unexpired term in the same manner as the original appointment. The members of the Commission shall hold office until their successors have been appointed and qualify. All terms of office terminate on the appropriate anniversary of the effective date of this act, notwithstanding that a delay in making appointments shall lessen the duration of the terms of office. As soon as practicable after the initial appointments are made, the Commission shall meet and organize by electing one of its members as chairman, another as vice- chairman, and a third as secretary. A transcript of the record of the initial organization must be filed with the clerk of court of Aiken County in order to reflect the initial membership of the Commission and those who shall become its officers. In addition to those members appointed by the Governor, the Chairman of the Aiken County Commission for Higher Education and the District Superintendent of Education for Aiken County are ex officio members of the Commission."

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor.
