AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 345 OF 1965, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE SPARTANBURG MUNICIPAL CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM, SO AS TO PROVIDE AN EXEMPTION FROM THE RESIDENCY AND ELECTOR REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS FOR ENTRY-LEVEL POSITIONS AND TO PROHIBIT THE PROMOTION OF AN APPLICANT HIRED FROM WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE COUNTY AT AN ENTRY-LEVEL POSITION UNTIL ONE YEAR IN THE SYSTEM HAS ELAPSED.

Exemption from residency and elector requirements; promotion prohibited

SECTION 1. Section 6 of Act 345 of 1965, as last amended by Act 991 of 1966, is further amended to read:

(1) a citizen of the United States of America and an elector of Spartanburg County in which he resides, who can read and write the English Language, and must have been a resident of Spartanburg County for at least one year. However, an applicant for an entry-level position as a public safety officer is exempt from the one-year residency requirement and the requirement to be an elector of Spartanburg County, and an applicant who is hired from within or outside of Spartanburg County at an entry-level position may not be promoted until one year in the system has elapsed;

(2) not more than thirty-five and not less than twenty-one years of age, in ordinary good health, of good moral character, and of temperate habits. These facts must be ascertained in a manner the commission considers advisable."
