The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
On this traditional birthday of George Washington, let us pray the prayer that he offered for our Country:
"Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection, that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and public temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of Whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation. Grant our supplications, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen".

"Section 44-63-40. The state registrar shall appoint the chief administrative officer of each county health department as the county registrar. All persons in the county required by law to file reports of birth, death, and fetal death shall forward these reports to the county registrar. The county registrar may appoint a deputy registrar who is vested with the right to carry on the duties of the office. The county registrar and deputy registrar shall carry out the duties formerly carried out by local registrars without additional compensation. The county registrar shall appoint a subregistrar for each hospital, nursing home, and other institution as required within the county whose duty it is to issue Burial-Removal-Transit Permits for deaths occurring at the hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions. The county registrar shall require the coroner of the county to issue Burial-Removal-Transit Permits for violent, accidental, and unattended deaths occurring outside hospitals, nursing homes, or other institutions. The department shall revise the form for Burial-Removal-Transit Permits so that there is an appropriate space where a coroner, or his designee, may check that he has spoken with a physician, EMT personnel, or other person whom the coroner judges to be qualified, to verify the fact of death, but that the coroner has not physically examined the body and therefore may not be held liable for actions arising after the signature of the Burial-Removal-Transit Permit. Those deaths are to be classified as 'reported but not investigated'."

Those who voted in the negative are:
So, the Bill was read the second time and ordered to third reading.
I was in the Senate Chamber at the time of the vote on H. 3169. Had I been in the Chamber, I would have voted for the Bill.
Rep. PAUL DERRICK
I am voting in favor of H. 3169 because the Bill will not adversely affect the ability of industry in my district to properly dispose of their hazardous wastes.
The Bill reduces the capacity at Pinewood to 110,000 tons over the next two years. However, it provides preference to in-state generators of hazardous waste. This is important to me because the hundred plus generators of hazardous wastes in Greenville County will be assured that their land disposal capacity needs at the GSX landfill will be met prior to the needs of out-of-state industry.
