So, the House refused to table the Joint Resolution.

The question then recurred to the motion to adjourn debate until Wednesday, May 1, which was agreed to.

RECORD FOR VOTING

I voted as I did on H. 3117 for the following reasons:

1. Several bills or resolutions dealing with government restructure are pending in the Judiciary Committee.

2. I believe that all of these bills and resolutions, including H. 3117, should have been studied, including public hearings and that the House should present the best possible option for any restructure that is necessary.

3. Leaving the Bill, H. 3117, on the calendar makes it likely that other restructure bills will not be considered by the Judiciary Committee and the House. Further, no public input will be received.

Despite the fact that H. 3117 is a proposed constitutional amendment, I feel the House is obliged to submit the best possible plan for necessary restructure to the people of South Carolina. This should not be done "piecemeal".

Respectfully submitted,
Rep. JOE McELVEEN

Rep. HASKINS moved that the House do now adjourn.
