TO DIRECT THE CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO PUBLISH THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATIVE MANUAL ONLY ONCE DURING THE 112TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Whereas, the South Carolina Legislative Manual is currently published once every year; and
Whereas, the General Assembly is in the first year of a two-year legislative session; and
Whereas, the publication of the South Carolina Legislative Manual is an undertaking done at substantial cost to the taxpayers of South Carolina; and
Whereas, there are no significant purposes for publishing the manual annually that justify the costs. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the South Carolina Legislative Manual is to be published only once during the 112th General Assembly.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
