Our Father God, as the time draws near when the last words of this session have been spoken and this hallowed hall left empty and silent as the captains of Legislative authority depart, we express our thanks for opportunities of service which have been ours during these past months. May those who have spoken and acted according to their consciences and convictions cling not to vain regrets. And as the sands of this session run out, we pray that Your wisdom will overrule what has been done unworthily or amiss. Multiply and use all that has been done which is pleasing and acceptable to You.
Grant us Your peace, both now and always. Amen.

H. 4931 -- Reps. Baxley, Neilson and Glover: A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE DAVID MULDROW BEASLEY OF MARLBORO COUNTY, OUR GOOD FRIEND AND DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUE, FOR HIS FRIENDSHIP AND OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND TO EXTEND TO HIM BEST WISHES IN HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, our dear friend and respected colleague, David Muldrow Beasley, has decided not to seek re-election to House District 56 for Darlington and Marlboro counties; and
Whereas, David was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1979 at the age of twenty-two bringing with him the enthusiasm and energy of youth but also a quick wit and keen intellect, ready to take it all in and move full speed ahead; and
Whereas, however, his start was a little slow--in fact, perhaps the slowest legislative start ever--as David walked all the way to Columbia from Darlington County to protest the challenge being made to his election by his opponent; and
Whereas, once he arrived in Columbia, it didn't take this representative long to really get moving and he hasn't stopped since--as is evident by the many positions of responsibility and leadership he has attained during his service in the House; and
Whereas, Representative Beasley has served with distinction and was very effective as vice-chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on Children, the House Majority Leader, and chairman of the House Education and Public Works Committee; and
Whereas, his leadership, cooperative spirit, and good nature have won him the respect and admiration of his colleagues, who in January, 1991, elected him as Speaker Pro Tempore; and
Whereas, David has gained a reputation of being honest and fair but also vocal and dedicated to those causes he holds dear; he has been an avid spokesperson for children--those born and those not yet born; and
Whereas, humor, kindness, and love for his fellowman are attributes that have served David well in the House and are matched if not exceeded by the dedication, commitment, and integrity with which he has served his constituents, the State, and this body; and
Whereas, while David, the representative, has grown in his legislative career from novice to leader; David, the person, also has grown; he's gone from being a frolicking law school freshman to being the devoted husband and loving father of two darling daughters; and
Whereas, David's impassioned pleas from the podium, his warm smile, great sense of humor, and compelling leadership will be missed by all and replaced by none. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the House of Representatives, by this resolution, commends the Honorable David Muldrow Beasley of Marlboro County, our good friend and distinguished colleague, for his friendship and outstanding leadership in the House of Representatives and extends to him our best wishes in his future endeavors.
The Resolution was adopted.

Whereas, the Honorable Jarvis Randolph Klapman, the eminent representative of District No. 89 in Lexington County, is completing his twenty-fourth year of service in the South Carolina House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Jarvis has served as a member of the House continually since 1967 until the present except for the years 1969-70; and
Whereas, Jarvis has seen many changes in this body since 1967 and in his earnest approach to his responsibilities as a public servant, has been the impetus for many necessary changes himself; and
Whereas, we can always count on Jarvis to at least try to make us aware of the "right" side of an issue. Even if we fail to agree with him, we appreciate the fact that he never gives up on attempting to lead us down the right path; and
Whereas, we look forward to relying on his guidance and experience for many years to come as the good people of Lexington County send him back to this body to continue the work he began in 1967. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the House of Representatives recognize their distinguished colleague, the Honorable Jarvis Randolph Klapman, of Lexington County as he completes his twenty-fourth year of service in the South Carolina House of Representatives and thank him for his dedication to public life and for his invaluable contribution to the important role this body plays in the legislative process.

Whereas, for the past two years Rev. Roller has been chairman of Hartsville's very successful "Christmas in April" program through which volunteers refurbish homes of the economically disadvantaged; and
Whereas, under Rev. Roller's leadership over three thousand volunteers have labored to repair eighty-six homes in the Hartsville community; and
Whereas, many of these homes received extensive repair work, all done at no cost to the homeowner; and
Whereas, this program and the work done on these homes have improved substantially the daily lives of the poor, elderly, and handicapped citizens who live in these homes; and
Whereas, "Christmas in April" provides an opportunity for diverse community groups to work together for a common good, and represents an outpouring of community support and unity unparalled in our State; and
Whereas, this Hartsville program reflects positively on Darlington County and the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, "Christmas in April" could not have been accomplished without Rev. Roller's inspiring, compassionate, and dedicated leadership and day-to-day involvement in the program. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognizes the Reverend Gale Roller for his inspiring and dedicated leadership in Hartsville's "Christmas in April" program and thanks him for the positive and Christian influence he exerts on the Hartsville community, Darlington County, and the State of South Carolina.

June 2, 1992
The Honorable Robert J. Sheheen
Speaker of the House
State House, 1st Floor, West Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29202
Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I am hereby returning without my approval H. 4790, R-495, an Act:
TO AMEND SECTION 12-54-460, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE SETOFF DEBT COLLECTION ACT WHICH AUTHORIZES A CLAIMANT AGENCY TO REQUEST THAT A DELINQUENT DEBT BE SET OFF BY THE TAX COMMISSION AGAINST ANY INCOME TAX REFUND DUE THE DEBTOR, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT REGULAR MAIL AS WELL AS CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL MAY BE USED TO PROVIDE THE DEBTOR WITH CERTAIN NOTICES REQUIRED BY THE ACT.
This Bill would greatly increase the chances that a person would unknowingly have a refund due them from the Tax Commission reduced or offset because of a delinquent debt. To allow an agency to collect debts owed in the relatively few instances they are delinquent by merely notifying the debtor by regular mail to the debtor's last known address does not afford persons the protection and due process the laws of this State are intended to provide. The potential prejudice to the debtor far outweighs the benefits and cost savings that the collecting agency gains.
Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing H. 4790, R-495.
Sincerely,
Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.
Governor
Rep. KIRSH explained the Veto.

S. 1603 -- Senator Lourie: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS THE BELIEF OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL COUNCIL IN MAKING CERTIFICATIONS TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY UNDER THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT THAT NATIONWIDE PERMITS ISSUED BY HIM ARE CONSISTENT WITH THIS STATE'S WATER QUALITY STANDARDS AND PLANS SHOULD ONLY CONSIDER CRITERIA PROVIDED IN THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT.
On motion of Rep. STURKIE, with unanimous consent, the following Concurrent Resolution was taken up for immediate consideration.
S. 1603 -- Senator Lourie: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS THE BELIEF OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL IN MAKING CERTIFICATIONS TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY UNDER THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT THAT NATIONWIDE PERMITS ISSUED BY HIM ARE CONSISTENT WITH THIS STATE'S WATER QUALITY STANDARDS AND PLANS SHOULD ONLY CONSIDER CRITERIA PROVIDED IN THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT.
Amend Title To Conform
Whereas, the Federal Clean Water Act prohibits use of land related to water without a permit issued by the authority of the Secretary of the Army; and
Whereas, the Federal Clean Water Act provides for the Secretary of the Army to issue nationwide permits and individual permits; and
Whereas, the Secretary of the Army has issued forty separate nationwide permits to enable all Americans to use their land for ordinary, routine purposes without having to obtain individual permits; and
Whereas, the Federal Clean Water Act provides that no nationwide permit will be effective in any state until that state certifies to the Army that the permit is consistent with that state's water quality standards; and
Whereas, the Federal Clean Water Act also provides that in those states which have a Coastal Zone Management Plan, any nationwide permit will not be effective in a state's coastal zone until that state certifies to the Army that the permit is consistent with that state's plan; and
Whereas, the Department of Health and Environmental Control have made such certifications to the Army, but only in part and conditionally; and
Whereas, to the extent that the Department of Health and Environmental Control have failed to make such certifications totally and unconditionally, they may be treating South Carolinians differently in relation to other Americans in obtaining equal benefit of the nationwide permits, thereby placing at risk South Carolina's economic competitiveness; and
Whereas, the General Assembly believes that certification decisions by the Department of Health and Environmental Control should be based solely on the criteria provided by the Federal Clean Water Act. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly, by this resolution, hereby expresses its belief that the Department of Health and Environmental Control in making certifications to the Secretary of the Army under the Federal Clean Water Act that nationwide permits issued by him are consistent with this state's water quality standards and plans should only consider criteria provided in the Federal Clean Water Act.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Bless and multiply in double measure, we pray, the fruits of our endeavors which are in keeping with Your purposes.
Continue Your blessings upon all these Your people of God wherever we go and whatever we do - these Legislators, these clerks, these attaches, the pages and all associated with the work here. Give to us a happy homecoming with devoted families and devoted friends.
"The Lord bless you and keep you;

The Lord look upon you with His favor and give you His peace". Amen.
