A BILL

TO AMEND ACT 1195 OF 1958, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE WEST VIEW-FAIRFOREST FIRE DISTRICT CONTROL BOARD, SO AS TO DECREASE THE TERM OF OFFICE OF THE MEMBERS FROM SIX YEARS TO FOUR YEARS; AND TO AMEND ACT 500 OF 1998 TO PROVIDE THAT THE TWO ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ADDED BY THIS ACT MUST BE APPOINTED TO OFFICE AS PROVIDED BY LAW.

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

SECTION    1.        Section 2 of Act 1195 of 1958, as last amended by Act 500 of 1998, is further amended to read:

    "Section 2.    There is established a fire control board for the West View-Fairforest Fire District in Spartanburg County to be composed of five members who must be appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of a majority of the Spartanburg County Legislative Delegation for a term of six four years. Provided, however, that if at least twenty percent of the qualified electors residing in the district petition the commissioners of election by the first of September of any general election year, the commissioners shall call an election to be held at the following general election for the purpose of electing a member to the board to succeed the member whose term will expire during that year, for a six-year four-year term. Thereafter members must be elected in each succeeding general election for terms of six four years. The members of the board shall serve without pay and shall file annually a report with the Spartanburg County Board of Control governing body of Spartanburg County not later than November first of each year, showing all activities and disbursements made by the board during the year.

    The reduction in length of term from six years to four years applies to the board members who are appointed on or after the effective date of this paragraph."

SECTION    2.    Section 2 of Act 500 of 1998 is amended to read:

    "Section 2.    The two additional members added to the fire control board for the West View-Fairforest Fire District in Spartanburg County pursuant to Section 1 of this act Act 500 of 1998 must be elected at the general election of 1998 appointed as in the same manner as the other members of the board are elected appointed as provided by law."

SECTION    3.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
