TO AMEND ACT 432 OF 1947, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE 
GREENVILLE HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SO AS TO REVISE THE HOUSE OF 
REPRESENTATIVES' DISTRICTS CONSTITUTING THE DISTRICTS WHICH COMPRISE HOUSE 
DISTRICT RESIDENCY SEATS ON THE BOARD.

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

SECTION 1. Section 
1(B)(1)(a) of Act 432 of 1947, as last amended by Act 102 of 2015, is amended 
to read:

 (a) The 
board of trustees shall consist of not fewer than twelve or more than seventeen 
members. A membership above twelve must be first requested by the board of 
trustees and then approved by the Greenville County Legislative Delegation. 
Members must be appointed by the Greenville County Legislative Delegation 
pursuant to this section, unless otherwise stipulated. The members of the House 
of Representatives from each of the House single-member election districts in a 
particular house residency district, together with any member of the Senate 
representing any portion of these House single-member election districts in 
that particular house residency district, shall recommend a nominee for that 
seat to the full Greenville County Legislative Delegation which shall either 
select and appoint that nominee to the commission or reject the nominee. In 
this case another nominee must be recommended by the same process to the full 
county legislative delegation until the seat is filled. All members must be 
qualified electors. Members filling house district residency seats, as provided 
for in this subsection, must, at the time of their appointment and throughout 
their term of office, be residents of Greenville County residing in specified 
house districts that constitute a part of the specific house district residency 
seat. Six of the members must be considered as filling house district residency 
seats, with one seat being filled by a person residing in House District 18, or 20, 
or 36; one residing in House District 10 5, 17, or 19; one residing in House District 16, 21, or 
35; one residing in House District 22 or 24; one residing in House District 23 
or 25; and one residing in House District 7, 10, 27, or 28. The remaining members must be at large, at least 
four of whom must reside in Greenville County. Two of the members must reside 
in the City of Greenville, but no more than three of the members may reside in 
the city limits of a single municipality. Appointment of members who are 
residents of the City of Greenville must be submitted for review by the City of 
Greenville as provided in item (3). Members shall represent all communities 
served by the Greenville Health System regardless of residency and shall make 
decisions in the best interest of the Greenville Health System as a whole and 
all those it serves.

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