South CarolinaKershaw County committee meeting payments are set at $90 and $175
The measure would pay Kershaw County Transportation Committee members for attended meetings, using county “C” fund revenues and limiting payment to 18 meetings yearly.
What it does
Committee members would receive $90 per attended meeting, while the chair would receive $175, with payments limited to 18 meetings per member each fiscal year.
Argument forSet meeting payments could make it easier for committee members to give time to county transportation work, subject to the 18-meeting limit.
Argument againstThe 18-meeting annual limit could leave members unpaid for additional meetings they attend during a busy fiscal year.
More detail
Each committee member would receive $90 for attending a meeting, and the chair would receive $175 for attending. The payments cover members of the Kershaw County Transportation Committee, including its chair. Payments would come from Kershaw County “C” fund revenues. The committee chair must issue approved vouchers before payment is made. The chair may not approve payments for more than 18 meetings per member in one fiscal year. The provisions would take effect upon the Governor’s approval, which the source says occurred on February 27, 2026.
