The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Forgive us, Lord, when we allow our complaints to come so close to our eyes as to blind us to the many, many blessings which so unceasingly come from Your beneficent hand. Your goodnesses and tender mercies are beyond our deserving, or our understanding. You bless us in keeping with Your total knowledge of our needs, bestowing upon us daily gifts such as our fathers neither knew or dreamed of.
Give to us, then, the perception to heartily acknowledge Your merciful goodnesses toward us which sends us forth in willing obedience to Your will.
Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Brown, Clyborne, Chamblee, McLeod, Sturkie, Fulmer, Rama, Sharpe, Boan, Waites, Rogers, Klapman, Keyserling, Tucker, Jennings, Townsend, Smith, Corning, Shirley, Glover, Harrison, Jaskwhich, Wells, Riser, Ross, Mattos, Kirsh, McElveen, Shissias, Wilkins, Corbett, Huff, Haskins, Hodges, Meacham, P. Harris, A. Young, L. Elliott, Sheheen, Littlejohn, White, Beatty, Felder, Phillips, Taylor, Inabinett, Cole, McCraw, Byrd, H. Brown, Kennedy, D. Elliott, Fair, Wofford, Carnell, D. Williams, Bruce, Bennett, Scott, Kempe, D. Martin, Stone, Hendricks, Marchbanks, J. Brown, Cork, Foster, Snow, Altman, L. Martin, Harvin, Kinon, Houck, Cato, McGinnis, Baker, Delleney, Wilkes and Farr: A JOINT RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE THAT THE TERMS OF OFFICE FOR THE PRESENT MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA BOARD OF SOCIAL SERVICES EXPIRE ON THIS JOINT RESOLUTION'S EFFECTIVE DATE; TO DIRECT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ELECT MEMBERS TO THE BOARD AND TO PROVIDE STAGGERED TERMS FOR THESE NEW MEMBERS; TO PROVIDE THAT ALL POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD ARE TEMPORARILY TRANSFERRED TO THE STATE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD; AND TO DIRECT THE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD TO APPOINT AN INTERIM COMMISSIONER TO WORK WITH THE CURRENT COMMISSIONER UNTIL HIS RESIGNATION IS EFFECTIVE.
Reps. HASKINS and RAMA proposed the following Amendment No. 2 (Doc Name L:\council\legis\amend\N05\8124.BD).
Amend the resolution, as and if amended, by striking all after the title and inserting:
/Whereas, the State Department of Social Services is the State's public welfare agency with a total budget of five hundred thirty-two million, one hundred six thousand, six hundred fifty-eight dollars; and
Whereas, the State Department of Social Services provides critical services to the State's most needy and vulnerable citizens and has a projected budget deficit in excess of fifteen million dollars; and
Whereas, the General Assembly is gravely concerned with the inability of the current South Carolina Board of Social Services to fulfill its basic statutory duties and its inability to work effectively with the agency's own employees, to cooperate with other agencies and branches of state government, and, importantly, to cooperate with and assist the General Assembly and the Executive Branch in efforts to help resolve the many financial and organizational problems of the State Department of Social Services; and
Whereas, the General Assembly recognizes the continuing divisions within the board and the failure of the commissioner and the board to work effectively in providing leadership, motivation, and purpose to the staff which is vital to ensuring proper oversight and accounting for the limited public resources allocated to this state agency; and
Whereas, the General Assembly recognizes that the inadequate management of this agency raises serious and legitimate doubt among the citizens of the State as to the ability of the incumbent leaders to fulfill the missions of this agency; and
Whereas, the lack of confidence in the leadership compels the General Assembly to act to avert a deepening crisis among the increasing number of our citizens who depend upon the services provided by this agency and the taxpayers who demand and rightly should expect the public resources to be properly managed and accounted for; and
Whereas, the continued independence of forty-six separate county operations of the State Department of Social Services does not allow for uniformity in and coordination of services or accountability; and
Whereas, in order to provide uniformity in and coordination of services and to assure accountability of the county operations of the departments of social services, it is necessary to place all county departments of social services directly under the State Commissioner of Social Services; and
Whereas, the General Assembly acknowledges that it is charged by statute with the responsibility to elect the members of the South Carolina Board of Social Services, and the General Assembly also recognizes that it is charged by Section 1, Article XII of the Constitution of South Carolina to provide for appropriate agencies; and
Whereas, Commissioner James L. Solomon, Jr., has announced his retirement from the State Department of Social Services effective June 30, 1992. Now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The terms of office of the present members of the South Carolina Board of Social Services are terminated on the effective date of this resolution.
All powers and duties of the South Carolina Board of Social Services are transferred to the State Commissioner of Social Services.
The Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint a commissioner with total authority to assume the powers and duties of the current State Commissioner of Social Services, James L. Solomon, Jr. Upon the effective date of this resolution, Mr. Solomon shall remain an employee of the department at his current salary, receive full benefits, and serve in a consulting capacity to the commissioner and report directly to him until the effective date of his retirement.
The commissioner shall report to and serves at the pleasure of the Governor. The commissioner has the authority to reorganize the State Department of Social Services at all levels in order to bring about efficiency, cost savings, or improved delivery of services or to otherwise benefit the State or the department. Reorganization may include, but is not limited to, personnel changes, a reduction in the number of employees, or a restructuring of the hierarchy of offices and employees.
The county boards of social services serve only in an advisory capacity. The county departments of social services are answerable to the State Commissioner of Social Services.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor./
Amend title to conform.
Rep. HASKINS explained the amendment.
Rep. KENNEDY made the Point of Order that the Senate Amendments were improperly before the House for consideration since printed copies of the Senate Amendments have not been upon the desks of the members for one day.
The SPEAKER sustained the Point of Order.

Smith, Washington, Williams and Wilson: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF FORMER SENATOR P. BRADLEY MORRAH, JR., OF GREENVILLE AND EXTENDING SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the Honorable P. Bradley Morrah, Jr., of Greenville, a former member of the South Carolina Senate and House of Representatives, died on February 17, 1992, at the age of seventy-six; and
Whereas, in 1936, he graduated from The Citadel, where he lettered in basketball and track, and, in 1939, he graduated from Duke University Law School; and
Whereas, he served in the House from Greenville County in 1941 and again from 1947 to 1948, and he represented Greenville County in the Senate from 1953 to 1966; and
Whereas, he was a very highly respected member of the General Assembly and was a distinguished practicing attorney, having served as president of the Greenville County Bar Association; and
Whereas, he served as chairman of the South Carolina American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and the United States Constitution Bicentennial Commission of South Carolina; and
Whereas, he served in the Second World War, attained the rank of major in the Army, and received the Bronze Star and seven battle stars; and
Whereas, he contributed greatly of his time, talents, and energy to many civic organizations and causes and dedicated a large part of his life to public service; and
Whereas, he was one of the best-liked and most-admired office-holders ever in the State, a giving and caring man, and a true gentleman, and he will be missed terribly by his countless friends; and
Whereas, we want his family and his friends to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express sorrow at the death of former Senator P. Bradley Morrah, Jr., of Greenville and extend sympathy to his family and many friends.

/If the defendant surrenders a driver's license at the time of conviction of an offense that requires the suspension or revocation of a driver's license and it is later found that the license surrendered was not the most recent driver's license issued to that person or if that person applies for and obtains a driver's license after conviction but before being eligible to receive a license, the department must revoke that person's driving privilege for an additional one year beyond all other applicable suspension or revocation periods./
When amended Section 56-1-365 shall read:
/Section 56-1-365. Any A person who forfeits bail posted for, is convicted of, or pleads guilty or nolo contendere in general session, municipal, or magistrate's court to an offense which as part of the punishment to be imposed requires that his driver's license be revoked or suspended as part of the punishment shall surrender immediately or cause to be surrendered his driver's license to the clerk of court or magistrate upon the verdict or plea. The defendant must be notified at the time of arrest of his obligation to bring, and surrender his license, if convicted, to the court or magistrate at the time of his trial, and if he fails to produce his license after conviction, he may be fined in an amount not to exceed two hundred dollars. If the defendant fails subsequently to surrender his license to the clerk or magistrate immediately after conviction, he must be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than two hundred dollars.
The department may collect from the clerk of court or magistrate the driver's license and ticket immediately after receipt. Along with the driver's license, the clerks and magistrates shall give the department's agents tickets, arrest warrants, and other documents or copies of them, as necessary for the department to process the revocation or suspension of the licenses. If the department does not collect the license and ticket immediately, the magistrate or clerk shall forward the license, ticket, and other documentation to the department within five days after receipt. Any A clerk or magistrate who wilfully fails or neglects to forward the driver's license and ticket as required is liable to indictment may be indicted and, upon conviction, must be fined not exceeding more than five hundred dollars.
The department shall notify the defendant of the suspension or revocation. Except as provided below, if the defendant surrendered his license to the magistrate or clerk immediately after conviction the effective date of the revocation or suspension is the date of surrender. If the magistrate or clerk wilfully fails to forward the license and ticket to the department within five days, the suspension or revocation does not commence until the department receives them. If the defendant is already under suspension for a previous offense at the time of his conviction or plea, the period of suspension for the subsequent offense runs consecutively and does not commence until the expiration of the suspension or revocation for the prior offense.
If the defendant fails to surrender his license, the suspension or revocation operates as otherwise provided by law.
If the defendant surrenders a driver's license at the time of conviction of an offense that requires the suspension or revocation of a driver's license and it is later found that the license surrendered was not the most recent driver's license issued to that person or if that person applies for and obtains a driver's license after conviction but before being eligible to receive a license, the department must revoke that person's driving privilege for an additional one year beyond all other applicable suspension or revocation periods.
If the defendant surrenders his license, upon conviction, and subsequently files a notice of appeal, the appeal shall act as a supersedeas as provided in Section 56-1-430. Upon payment of a ten dollar fee and presentment by the defendant of a certified or clocked-in copy of the notice of appeal, the department shall issue him a certificate on a form prescribed and furnished by the department which entitles him to operate a motor vehicle for a period of sixty days after the verdict or plea. The certificate must be kept in the defendant's possession while operating a motor vehicle during the sixty-day period, and failure to have it in his possession is punishable in the same manner as failure to have a driver's license in possession while operating a motor vehicle."/
