AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 1197 OF 1930, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, SO AS TO REVISE THE MANNER IN WHICH MEMBERS OF ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE SELECTED.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Board selection revised

SECTION 1. Section 2 of Act 1197 of 1930, as last amended by Act 297 of 1982, is further amended to read:

"Section 2. The board of trustees of Presbyterian College shall consist of not less than twenty nor more than forty members. The Synod of South Atlantic of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) shall elect from its membership within churches in the State of South Carolina up to twelve members of the board. The Synod of South Atlantic shall elect from its membership within churches in the State of Georgia up to twelve members of the board. The Synod of South Atlantic shall elect from its membership within churches in the State of Florida up to four members of the board. The Alumni Association of the college may elect three members to the board, all of whom must be members of Evangelical Christian Churches. The board may elect up to nine members to the board, all of whom must be members of Evangelical Christian Churches.

Trustees must be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected. They are eligible for reelection for two additional terms. Trustees, who have served with extraordinary benefit to the college, may be reelected to additional terms. If either the Synod or the Alumni Association fails to appoint or elect their members to the board, appointments to fill the vacancies may be made by the remaining members of the board of trustees in an annual meeting. The appointees shall serve until the Synod or Alumni Association elects trustees in the manner provided by this act to succeed them."

Time effective

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
