Almighty God and Father, the Giver of all good things, may Your way descend upon us and pulsate through our hearts, minds and wills.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly have learned with dismay that the Ku Klux Klan plans a march in Orangeburg in Orangeburg County on Saturday, February 7, 1987; and

Whereas, South Carolina has been blessed with racial and ethnic harmony which is a tribute to the tradition of civility and good manners bred into the people of this State and such a march by the Klan is conducted for the sole purpose of stirring racial and ethnic disharmony which has no place in this State and especially in the hearts and minds of the good people of Orangeburg in Orangeburg County. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly express their dismay upon learning of the Ku Klux Klan march in Orangeburg County planned for Saturday, February 7, 1987, and the good people of Orangeburg in Orangeburg County are urged to ignore utterly the planned march.

Whereas, Dr. Joseph A. Devine, ADA President, will officially initiate the national seminar series in South Carolina on February 6, 1987, titled "New Horizons in Dentistry" on the subject of cosmetic bonding; and

(1) within eight hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage;
(2) while under the influence of alcohol; or
(3) while using any drug that affects his faculties in any way contrary to safety.
(B) Any person who operates or acts as a crewmember of any aircraft in this State is considered to have given consent to a chemical test of his breath for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of his blood if arrested for violating the provisions of subsection (A). The test must be administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer who has apprehended a person while or after operating or acting as a crewmember of any aircraft in this State while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The test must be administered by a person trained and certified by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, using methods approved by the division. The arresting officer may not administer the test, and no test may be administered unless the defendant has been informed that he does not have to take the test. Any person who refuses to submit to the test violates the provisions of this subsection and, upon conviction, must be punished by a fine of two hundred dollars or imprisonment for not less than forty-eight hours nor more than thirty days, or both. The penalties provided for in this subsection are in addition to those provided for in subsection (F).
No person is required to submit to more than one test for any one offense for which he has been charged, and the test must be administered as soon as practicable without undue delay.
The person tested may have a physician, qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified person of his own choosing conduct a test or tests in addition to the test administered by the law enforcement officer. The failure or inability of the person tested to obtain an additional test does not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test taken at the direction of the law enforcement agency or officer.
The arresting officer or the person conducting the chemical test of the person apprehended promptly shall assist that person to contact a qualified person to conduct additional tests.
The division shall administer the provisions of this subsection and may make regulations as may be necessary to carry out its provisions. The Department of Health and Environmental Control shall cooperate with the division in carrying out its duties.
(C) In any criminal prosecution for the violation of this section, the amount of alcohol in the defendant's blood at the time of the alleged violation, as shown by chemical analysis of the defendant's breath, is admissible as evidence.
The provisions of this subsection do not limit the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing upon the question whether or not the defendant was under the influence of intoxicating liquor.
(D) Any person who is unconscious or otherwise in a condition rendering him incapable of refusal, is considered not to have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection (B).
(E) The person conducting the chemical test for the law enforcement officer shall record in writing the time of arrest, the time of the test, and the results of the test, a copy of which must be furnished to the person tested or his attorney prior to any trial or other proceedings in which the results of the test are used as evidence, and any person administering any additional test shall record in writing the time, type, and results of the test and promptly furnish a copy of the test to the arresting officer. A copy of the results of the test must be furnished to the Federal Aviation Administration and the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission by the arresting officer or the agency involved in the arrest.
(F) Any person who violates the provisions of subsection (A), upon conviction, must be punished by a fine of five hundred dollars or imprisonment for not less than forty-eight hours nor more than one year, or both.
(G) Any person who is convicted under the provisions of this section must be reported to the Federal Aviation Administration within ten days of conviction.
(H) For the purposes of this section crewmember means a person assigned to perform any duty in an aircraft during flight time, and aircraft means any contrivance now known or invented, used, or designed in the future for navigation of or flight in the air."
