The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, it has now become a tradition with us here: each year, on or about the birthday of President George Washington, we pray his prayer for the United States.
Let us pray.

"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 demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen."

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

The Honorable Thomas L. Moore
Chairman, Senate Invitations Committee

Dear Senator Moore:

The South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind will host a luncheon for all members of the Senate and all members of the House of Representatives as well as other friends of the agency on Wednesday, April 3, 1991.

The luncheon will be held in Room 208 of the Blatt Building beginning at 11:00 A.M. (or upon adjournment) and lasting until 2:00 P.M. Guests are invited to drop by at their convenience during this time.

We would very much appreciate having this invitation announced in the Senate Invitations Calendar.

Sincerely yours,
Joseph P. Finnegan, Jr.
President

Referred to the Committee on Invitations.

Senator GIESE introduced Dr. Tucker Weston of Columbia, S.C., Doctor of the Day.

On motion of Senator WADDELL, Senator LEVENTIS was granted a leave of absence for today.

On motion of Senator O'DELL, Senator MULLINAX was granted a leave of absence for today.

S. 251 -- Senator Rose: A BILL TO ESTABLISH THE SOUTH CAROLINA TOBACCO INDEMNITY FUND TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCED BY TAXATION ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO BE COLLECTED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA TAX COMMISSION, TO REQUIRE THE REPORTING OF INSURANCE CLAIMS FOR TOBACCO SMOKING RELATED DISEASE TREATMENT, TO PROVIDE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE FUND TO EMPLOYERS FOR THESE CLAIMS, AND TO PROVIDE THAT THREE PERCENT OF THE FUND BE USED FOR HEART OR LUNG TRANSPLANTS FOR NONSMOKING RESIDENTS.

On motion of Senator ROSE, with unanimous consent, the Bill was recalled from the Committee on Finance.

On motion of Senator ROSE, with unanimous consent, the vote whereby the Bill was introduced and read the first time was reconsidered.

I withdrew S. 251 because (a) its introduction violated Section 15 of Article III of the South Carolina Constitution; (b) the Bill should have provided a user fee of five cents instead of fifty cents per pack and of one dollar instead of five dollars per carton; and (c) the proceeds collected should have been used for indigent health care. I still favor selective use of user fees to cause, where possible, those who use a service, rather than the general public, to also pay the costs of the service. However, introduction of S. 251 as written was a mistake.

The following were introduced:

S. 686 -- Senators Mitchell, Bryan, Courson, Drummond, Fielding, Giese, Gilbert, Hayes, Helmly, Hinds, Hinson, Holland, Land, Leatherman, Leventis, Long, Lourie, Macaulay, Martin, Martschink, Matthews, McConnell, McGill, Moore, Mullinax, O'Dell, Passailaigue, Patterson, Peeler, Pope, Reese, Rose, Russell, Saleeby, Setzler, Shealy, J.

Whereas, more than fifty percent of the people in rural counties have not graduated from high school; and

Whereas, in rural areas the number of citizens living in the poverty range is from eleven to more than thirty-two percent; and

Whereas, up to thirty-three percent of the population is under thirteen years of age in these areas; and

Whereas, up to twelve and five-tenths percent of the people in rural counties are over sixty-five years of age; and

Whereas, as a result of the poverty, lower educational levels, and ages of the rural residents, incidences of chronic diseases and general health problems are more prevalent; and

Whereas, Medicare is a federally-funded program created to care for persons sixty-five years and older; and

Whereas, Medicare has not kept up with hospital inflation rates; and

Whereas, while all hospitals face losses created by Medicare payments, the problem is exacerbated in rural hospitals which are paid an average of thirty to forty percent less than urban counterparts for similar cases; and

Whereas, this underfunding has significantly impacted budgets of rural hospitals. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly memorialize Congress to make federally-funded medical payments equalized for equal treatment at all medical facilities eligible for these payments so as to encourage more doctors to practice medicine in rural areas in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.

On motion of Senator LAND, with unanimous consent, the Concurrent Resolution was ordered placed on the Calendar for consideration tomorrow.

"Section 6-4-20. For the purposes of this section "county area" means a county and all municipalities within the geographical boundaries of that county. There is created an account to administer the local accommodations tax. It must be administered by the State Treasurer in the following manner:.
(1) at At the end of each fiscal year and before August first a percentage, to be determined by the State Treasurer, must be withheld from those county areas collecting four hundred thousand dollars or more from that amount which exceeds four hundred thousand dollars from the tax authorized by this article and that amount must be distributed to assure that each county area receives a minimum of fifty thousand dollars. The amount withheld from those county areas collecting four hundred thousand dollars or more must be apportioned among the municipalities and the county in the same proportion as those units received quarterly remittances as provided in Section 12-36-2630(3). If the total statewide collections from the local accommodations tax exceeds the statewide collections for the preceding fiscal year then this fifty thousand dollar figure must be increased by a percentage equal to seventy-five percent of the statewide percentage increase in statewide collections for the preceding fiscal year. The difference between the fifty thousand dollars minimum and the actual collections within a county area must be distributed to the eligible units within the county area based on population as determined by the most recent United States census.
(2) At the end of each fiscal year and before August first, the State Treasurer shall distribute to each county area collecting more than fifty thousand dollars but less than four hundred thousand dollars an additional fifteen thousand dollars. If the total statewide collections from the accommodations tax exceed the statewide collections for the preceding fiscal year, then this fifteen thousand dollar figure must be increased by a percentage equal to seventy-five percent of the statewide percentage increase in statewide collections for the preceding fiscal year. This amount must be distributed in the same manner as the fifty thousand dollars provided in item (1) of this section. The amount paid those qualified county areas under provisions of this item must be paid from the account created under the provisions of this section.
(3) Any amount withheld in excess must be distributed to the county area whose collections exceed four hundred thousand dollars based on the ratio of the funds available to the collections by each county area.
(4) Any county area receiving fifty thousand dollars under the provisions of this section or from the local accommodations tax are excluded from the requirements of Section 6-4-10, except that the fifteen thousand dollars paid to those county areas collecting more than fifty thousand dollars but less than four hundred thousand dollars as provided in item (2) of this section must be allocated to a special fund and used for the purposes as required in Section 6-4-10(A)(2) and (3) and an advisory committee must be appointed as provided in Section 6-4-10(C) ,the State Treasurer must distribute the statewide collections from the local accommodations tax to each county and municipality in an amount equal to the actual amount each county and municipality collected and remitted.

The State Treasurer may correct misallocations to counties and municipalities from accommodations tax revenues by adjusting subsequent allocations, but these adjustments may be made only in allocations made in the same fiscal year as the misallocation."/
