124th Session, 2021-2022 Journal of the House of Representatives
NO. 4
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2021
(STATEWIDE SESSION) Indicates New Matter
The House assembled at 2:00 p.m. Our thought for today is from Psalm 148:13: "Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted." Let us pray. Praise to You, Lord of the earth and sky. Praise to You, source of our being, and make us grateful O Lord for all the things You have provided. We thank You for these women and men who defend our freedom. Bless us as we begin a new year of service. Keep each of these members and their families safe and secure. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen. Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER. After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. HARDEE moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of LCpl. Melton "Fox" Gore, which was agreed to.
The House stood in silent prayer for Rep. FELDER and her husband.
The House stood in silent prayer for Rep. MCKNIGHT, his mother, and his family. The following was received:

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives celebrates those individuals who give tirelessly of themselves to educate the young people of this great State; and Whereas, prominent in the roll call of such benefactors to our youth is Dillon High School's retiring football coach, Jackie Hayes, who for nearly three decades has instilled in his student athletes the skills and character traits necessary for success in the classroom, on the field, and in the workplace; and Whereas, born and raised in Dillon, Jackie Hayes is Dillon football to the core. He quarterbacked the Wildcats, became a Wildcats' assistant, and then their coach for twenty-nine seasons. The only years during that time he was not in the Dillon fold was his four years on football scholarship at Catawba College; and Whereas, during his years as Dillon's coach, the Wildcats achieved a greatness few others could muster: seven state championships (four in a row, 2012-15) and fourteen Lower-State crowns, overall. Further, in twenty-six of his twenty-nine years as coach, the Wildcats won ten or more games. Over the decades, they also enjoyed twenty-nine winning seasons, never missed the playoffs, appeared in fourteen state finals, and helped Coach Hayes compile an impressive 336-56 record; and Whereas, this Dillon football legend has served as assistant and head coach of the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas, assistant and head coach of the North-South Game, head coach of the Junior Shrine Bowl, and assistant coach in the Offense/Defense Game. He has served as president of the South Carolina Athletic Directors Association and member of the South Carolina High School League Executive Committee; he ranks thirty-two nationally in best career winning percentage, according to MaxPreps; and his program has been voted as team of the decade. He has been inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame and South Carolina Football Coaches Hall of Fame; and Whereas, this humble man is quick to share the credit for his success with his excellent staff, and he praises the school board, school administration, students, and community for their strong support of the school's football program; and Whereas, in retiring from coaching, Jackie Hayes is not leaving Dillon School District 4. His many admirers are pleased that he will remain as athletic director at Dillon and Lake View high schools until next summer and that afterwards he will become director of operations for the school district. He also will continue to serve Dillon County as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives representing House District 55; and Whereas, grateful for Jackie Hayes' legacy of consistent commitment and excellence, the House takes great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement from coaching and trusts he will find much enjoyment in the new challenges and opportunities of the days ahead. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Coach Jackie Hayes of Dillon High School for his outstanding career as both coach and educator, congratulate him on the occasion of his retirement as coach, and wish him much success in all his future endeavors. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Jackie Hayes. The Resolution was adopted.

Newton, Henderson-Myers and Hyde: A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO AMEND RULE 4.4 OF THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, RELATING TO COMMITTEE PROCEDURES, SO AS TO REVISE CERTAIN NOTICE OF MEETINGS PROCEDURES AND PROVIDE FOR COMMITTEES, THROUGH ITS RULES, TO ALLOW THEIR CHAIRMEN TO DESIGNATE ALTERNATIVE MEETING ARRANGEMENTS AND PROCEDURES UNDER EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES WITH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS DELINEATED. Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That Rule 4.4 of the Rules of the House of Representatives is amended to read: "4.4 Committees shall meet regularly to consider pending legislation in the room assigned for their use by the Speaker or as otherwise authorized by this rule. Notice of date, time, and place of such meetings shall be posted on a bulletin board provided for this purpose in the lobby. Whenever feasible twenty-four hour advance notice shall be given for all committee meetings. Such notice shall be mailed to the members by the committee chairmen when the House is not in session. Notice of regular and special meetings shall also be given by the administrative assistants to each member of the committees and to the Sergeant at Arms in the manner the committee deems proper. Information as to subcommittee meetings shall be provided by the administrative assistants to the Sergeant at Arms and shall be available at the Sergeant at Arms' desk. Failure of notice of any meeting shall not invalidate committee action unless bad faith is shown. No committee shall meet while the House is in session without special leave by the Speaker. Provided, however, that the Committee on Rules and any committee of conference or free conference, may sit at any time and may report its message to the House at any time. A Committee may provide, pursuant to its own rules, for the Chairmen to designate alternative meeting arrangements and procedures. Provided, however, the Chairman may only implement alternative meeting arrangements and procedures in the event that extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, natural disasters, severe weather, and Acts of God, render them necessary. The alternative meeting arrangements and procedures must: (1) provide for public observation or participation as required by House Rules and the provisions of Title 30, Chapter 4 of the 1976 Code of Laws of South Carolina, as amended; (2) provide both a video and audio component that is publicly accessible; and (3) record the meeting, in its entirety, and make the recording available on the General Assembly website, as soon as practicable following the meeting. No committee shall sit unless a quorum be present and all bills introduced by committees must carry the statement of the Chairman that the bill has the approval of two-thirds of the membership of the committee, except that the State Appropriations Bill, the Supplemental Appropriations Bill, a Rescission Bill, and the Deficiency Appropriations Bill may be introduced by a majority vote of the Ways and Means Committee. No committee shall introduce a bill pertaining to subject matter over which it has no jurisdiction. Notice in writing of all public hearings shall be given by Committee Chairmen to the Clerk of the House at least five calendar days prior to the date fixed for the hearing, such notice to be published in the House Calendar. Notice in writing of all committee action taken on a bill or resolution shall be given to the principal author thereof. No statewide bill directly appropriating money shall be considered by the House until after such bill has been referred to the Ways and Means Committee, provided, however, a statewide bill which directly or by implication provides for per diem, subsistence or mileage in connection with the subject matter of the bill, but does not otherwise directly appropriate money, shall not be required to be referred to the Ways and Means Committee. After the House sets a bill for Special Order pursuant to Rule 6.3, no point of order may be raised regarding its reference to committee, however, the House by majority vote may commit or recommit a bill or other matter under debate. No committee action shall be taken on a bill or resolution except at a regular or called meeting, but this shall not apply to resolutions referred to the Committee on Invitations and Memorial Resolutions. When any standing committee or subcommittee schedules a public hearing on a bill or resolution, the principal sponsor of such bill or resolution shall be notified of the time and place of such hearing not less than five calendar days prior to the hearing date."
