Reducing the term of office for Berkeley County Commisioners from six years to four years
HB 4165 directs Berkeley County Commission to hold a referendum at the next general election to ask voters whether county commissioners' terms should change from six years to four years. The bill itself does not change the term length but requires a vote to determine if the change should occur. Berkeley County voters will decide this issue in the upcoming general election. The referendum is the key mechanism, with no immediate policy change enacted by the bill.
