A JOINT RESOLUTION

TO ESTABLISH THE SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURING STUDY COMMITTEE TO MAKE A STUDY TO DETERMINE WHETHER, AND TO WHAT EXTENT, THE VARIOUS STATE BOARDS, COMMITTEES, COMMISSIONS, AGENCIES, AND COUNCILS SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED, AND TO PROVIDE FOR RELATED MATTERS.

Whereas, to determine whether, and to what extent, restructuring of the various state boards, committees, commissions, agencies, and councils is necessary and desirable to maintain trust in government by the people of South Carolina, an official committee to study restructuring should be formed. Now, therefore,

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

SECTION 1. There is established the South Carolina Government Restructuring Study Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the committee shall consist of the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, the Comptroller General, the Secretary of State, five members of the Senate to be appointed by the President pro tempore, five members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker, and three persons to be appointed by the Governor.

The committee shall make a study to determine whether, and to what extent, the various state boards, committees, commissions, agencies, and councils should be restructured. The committee's study must be conducted over a twelve-month period. At the end of that period, the committee shall present a written report of its findings, and any recommendations, to the Governor and the General Assembly.

The committee shall elect at its first meeting a chairman and a vice chairman from its membership. The committee shall meet at any time and any place in the State as may be designated by the chairman or by any seven members of the committee. A quorum for the purpose of conducting committee business consists of nine members. Members of the committee shall not be compensated for their service but shall receive mileage, subsistence, and per diem as allowed members of state boards, committees, and commissions for the actual performance of their duties. Any vacancy occurring for any reason on the committee among the appointed members must be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

For clerical, legal, and research assistance,t he committee shall designate and utilize employees of the General Assembly, which employees shall not receive any compensation for the performance of these duties other than their regular salaries.

The expenses of the committee must be paid from approved accounts of both houses of the General Assembly.

Upon the presentation of the written report of its findings and any recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly in accordance with the provisions of this act, the committee established pursuant to this joint resolution shall cease to exist.

SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
