S.C. Code Ann. § 63-11-710: Local boards for review.

(A) The department shall create local boards for review of cases of children receiving foster care pursuant to Section 63-11-700(E). Members of local boards will be appointed by the director upon the recommendation of their county legislative delegation. Current board members shall continue to serve until the expiration of their respective terms.

(B) A member of a local board who is guilty of malfeasance, misfeasance, incompetency, absenteeism, conflicts of interest, misconduct, persistent neglect of duty in office, or incapacity must be subject to removal by the director upon any of the foregoing causes being made to appear to the satisfaction of the director. Before removing any such member, the director shall inform him and the local legislative delegation in writing of the specific grounds for removal brought against him and give him an opportunity on reasonable notice to be heard. The consent of the majority of the local legislative delegation is needed to remove a member of a local board. The state board may recommend to the director that a member of a local board be removed pursuant to this section.

(C) If the Department determines that a local board is no longer necessary, then the department may dissolve that local review board upon notice to the majority of the local legislative delegation.
