AI Summary
This bill amends the law related to the Summerville School District 2 Board of Trustees in Dorchester County, South Carolina. The key provisions are:
1. The Board of Trustees will be composed of seven members elected from single-member districts, rather than at-large.
2. The single-member districts are defined on a map filed with the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, and this map will be used for school district elections starting in 2024.
3. Board members must be residents of the district they represent, and only voters within that district can vote for the trustee from that district.
4. The incumbent board members will serve until the 2024 elections, when new members will be elected to staggered four-year terms.
5. Vacancies on the board will be filled by appointment until the next general election, when a successor will be elected.
6. Candidates will file statements of intention with the Dorchester County Board of Voter Registration and Elections, and the nonpartisan plurality method will be used to determine election results.
7. The bill provides demographic information for the seven newly drawn single-member districts.
