SECTION 3. Section 7-19-40 of the 1976 Code is repealed effective with the 2012 general election, provided that until the members of the congressional districts elected in the 2012 general election from the districts enumerated in Section 7-19-35 qualify and take office, the districts now provided by law continue to apply for purposes of vacancies in office for members of the congressional districts.
SECTION 4. Upon the effective date of this act, the President Pro Tempore of the South Carolina Senate and the Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives are jointly designated as the appropriate officials of the submitting authority, who are responsible for obtaining preclearance of the revised election districts set forth in Section 7-19-35, as contained in SECTION 2 of this act in compliance with 42 U.S.C. 1973c.
SECTION 5. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any person elected or appointed to serve, or serving, as a member of any board, commission, or committee to represent a Congressional district, whose residency is transferred to another district by a change in the composition of the district, may serve, or continue to serve, the term of office for which he was elected or appointed; however, the appointing or electing authority shall appoint or elect an additional member on that board, commission, or committee from the district which loses a resident member on it as a result of the transfer to serve until the term of the transferred member expires. When a vacancy occurs in the district to which a member has been transferred, the vacancy must not be filled until the full term of the transferred member expires.
