TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, RELATING TO COMMISSIONERS, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 4454, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Public Service Commission, relating to Commissioners, designated as Regulation Document Number 4454, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
At present, there are seven Congressional Districts in South Carolina. Regulation 103-811 currently references seven commissioners, one from each of six Congressional Districts and one at-large. However, at present, the Commission is a seven-member quasi-judicial body with a member from one of each of the seven Congressional Districts. S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-3-20 states, in part, that when there are seven Congressional Districts, a member representing the Seventh Congressional District must be elected. The current version of Regulation 103-811 must be repealed due to the amendment of S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-3-20.
The Notice of Drafting regarding this regulation was published on November 22, 2013, in the State Register.
