THE GENERAL COMMITTEE
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 5242) to declare Wednesday, May 2, 2018, "South Carolina Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day" and to honor the valuable contributions of the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, etc., respectfully
REPORT:
Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out majority favorable.
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2018, "SOUTH CAROLINA TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION DAY" AND TO HONOR THE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT TEEN PREGNANCY, ITS PARTNERS WITHIN LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS, PARENTS, EDUCATORS, AND TRUSTED ADULTS.
Whereas, teen pregnancies have far-reaching consequences that adversely affect the health, education, and economic future of South Carolina's young people; and
Whereas, in 2016, 3,696 teen girls, ages fifteen to nineteen gave birth in our State; and
Whereas, teen birth rates in South Carolina decreased by sixty-seven percent between 1991 and 2016; and
Whereas, teen birth rates in South Carolina decreased by nine percent between 2015 and 2016, the lowest teen birth rate for girls ages fifteen to nineteen ever recorded in South Carolina; and
Whereas, however, the progress in teen birth rate reductions that saved South Carolina taxpayers an estimated eighty-five million dollars in 2015 alone should not suggest decreases in investment and commitment to this issue; and
Whereas, "South Carolina Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day" is an opportunity for parents, teen educators, program providers, faith-based organizations, local elected leaders, and statewide policymakers to work together to reduce and prevent teen pregnancy in the Palmetto State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, declare Wednesday, May 2, 2018, "South Carolina Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day" and honor the valuable contributions of the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, its partners within local communities and organizations, parents, educators, and trusted adults.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.
