The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, 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 St. Luke records these words... in the old King James rendering... (14:28):

"For which of you, intending to build a tower,

sitteth not down first, and countest the cost,

Whether he have sufficient to finish it?"
Let us pray.

Lord God, our Father, we thank You for the dreams and ambitions we have for the growth and development of our beloved State.

As we fashion our programs of desire, make us realists who see that we adequately count the cost for our aspirations.

Help us to distinguish between luxuries that we cannot afford and necessities that we must provide.

Help us to know... and exercise the secret of harmony... manifest integrity of character... fidelity to high trusts... and fair play... nourished by Your Spirit of Wisdom in whose Name we pray.

Amen.

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

S. 600 -- Senator Leventis: A SENATE RESOLUTION TO WELCOME THE AMERICAN DANCE ENSEMBLE TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO INVITE THE ENSEMBLE TO BE PRESENTED TO THE SENATE ON APRIL 21, 1993.

Whereas, the American Dance Ensemble, a nationally recognized dance troupe engaged in the promoting of ethnic American dances, will perform a dance exhibit at North Myrtle Beach as part of the 1993 Spring Safari of the Society of Shaggers; and

Whereas, this outstanding ensemble has performed throughout the country giving original interpretations of dances peculiar to the region in which they are performing; and

Whereas, the ensemble will be in Columbia on Wednesday, April 21, 1993, as part of its trip to South Carolina; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize this outstanding group of dancers, welcome them to South Carolina, and invite them to be presented to the Senate on April 21, 1993, at a time to be determined by the President of the Senate. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate hereby welcome the American Dance Ensemble to South Carolina and invite the ensemble to be presented to the Senate on April 21, 1993, at a time to be determined by the President of the Senate.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the American Dance Ensemble.

S. 601 -- Senators Wilson, Land and Giese: A SENATE RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE SUPPORT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE FOR RUSSIAN PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN AND ALL DEMOCRATIC ELEMENTS IN RUSSIA IN THEIR STRUGGLE TO ACHIEVE IN RUSSIA A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT AND A PROSPEROUS, MARKET-ORIENTED ECONOMY.

Whereas, the people of Russia and the United States are commited to the values of democracy and a market economy; and

Whereas, President Boris Yeltsin, the first freely-elected president in the one thousand year history of the Russian people, is a steadfast advocate of the wishes and desires of the Russian people and free peoples everywhere in their opposition to communism and totalitarianism and embracing freedom, democracy, and capitalism; and

Whereas, President Yeltsin's policies are restoring and rebuilding the historic ties and warm friendship between the people of Russia and America which will be mutually beneficial for trade, cultural exchanges, economic development, and world peace; and

Whereas, President Yeltsin represents the best hope for the long-suffering Russian people for a society and government committed to democratic values and an economy that brings that measure of economic prosperity that reflects the vast natural and human potential of Russia; and

Whereas, hard-line communist and nationalist opposition holding over in Russian governmental, legislative, and judicial bodies from the time of communist rule is trying to halt the process of reform and sabotage the reform-minded presidency of Boris N. Yeltsin; and

Whereas, success by the opposition of President Yeltsin would mean another epoch of political and economic totalitarianism for the people of Russia and another cold war for the world. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That by this resolution the South Carolina Senate expresses its heartfelt support for Russian President Boris Yeltsin and all democratic forces in Russia in their struggle for the final dismantling of communism and the reform of the Russian economy and public policy thereby fulfilling the earnest desire of the Russian people and all free peoples for a democratic and prosperous Russia.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Speaker of the United States House of Reprsentatives, the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, and to His Excellency Boris Yeltsin, President of the Republic of Russia.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting language and inserting:

/ SECTION 1. Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

Section 59-36-10. As used in this chapter:

(1) `Preschool disabilities program' means the special education and related services provided in accordance with Public Law 94-142, as amended;

(2) `Preschool children with disabilities' means children ages three, four, and five whose developmental progress is delayed to the extent that a program of special education is required to ensure their adequate preparation for school-age experiences. This includes four-year-old vision and hearing-impaired children and five-year-old children with disabilities previously included under Section 59-21-510. Eligibility must be noncategorical and must provide for children who are experiencing developmental delays in one or more of the following areas: cognitive ability, social ability, emotional ability, perceptual ability, visual ability, hearing ability, motor ability, speech-language ability, and other health impairments.

(3) `State advisory council' means the State Advisory Council on the Education of Children with Disabilities established in compliance with Public Law 94-142, as amended. The advisory council must be expanded to include permanent representation by state agencies listed in Section 59-36-20 that provide services for preschool children with disabilities, ages birth through five, and the Chairperson of the Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC) for P.L. 99-457. Additionally, a subcommittee of the advisory council must be established to address educational programs and services for preschool children with disabilities. The chairperson of the ICC and the advisory council, or their designee; state agencies designated from those listed in Section 59-36-20; at least two parents; one representative from daycare programs; one representative from Head Start; and two local education agency representatives form the committee, all of whom, with the exception of the Chair of the ICC, shall be selected by a majority vote of the advisory council. A staff member from the Department of Education will be assigned to provide assistance to the council and the subcommittee as needed.

Section 59-36-20. The State Board of Education and the State Department of Education are responsible for establishing a comprehensive system of special education and related services and for ensuring that the requirements of the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act are carried out. Other state agencies which provide services for children with disabilities are directed to cooperate in the establishment and support of the system. Agencies with responsibilities under this chapter include: the Department of Mental Retardation, the School for the Deaf and the Blind, the Commission for the Blind, the Department of Health and Environmental Control, the Department of Mental Health, the State Department of Social Services, Continuum of Care, and the State Department of Education.

All public education programs for children with disabilities within the State, including all programs administered by any other state or local agency, are under the general supervision of the persons responsible for education programs for children with disabilities in the State Department of Education and must meet the standards of the State Board of Education. No provision of this section or of this chapter may be construed to limit the responsibilities of agencies other than the Department of Education from providing or paying for some or all of the cost of services to be provided the state's children with disabilities and the level of service must, at a minimum, be similar to that provided individuals with similar needs. If agencies are unable to agree on responsibilities for a particular child, the issue must be decided by the Children's Case Resolution System, Section 20-7-5210, et seq.

Section 59-36-30. The state advisory council shall advise the Department of Education and the State Board of Education in developing a comprehensive service system for special education and related services to preschool children with disabilities. The assistance includes, but is not limited to:

(1) a comprehensive method of identifying children with disabilities;

(2) a public awareness program focusing on identification of preschool children with disabilities;

(3) a coordinated system of personnel development for those who serve preschool children with disabilities;

(4) formal interagency agreements which:

(a) define the financial responsibility of each agency for providing special education and related services;

(b) establish procedures for the transition of children served under Title 44, Chapter 7; and

(c) contain procedures for resolving disputes.

Section 59-36-40. The State Board of Education, with input from the state advisory council, shall establish policies, standards, and procedures necessary to ensure that a free and appropriate education is available in the least restrictive environment and that a smooth transition from early intervention programs or initial entry into preschool programs occurs for children with disabilities. The Department of Education shall employ at least a full-time consultant in preschool education for children with disabilities. The board shall establish evaluation and placement procedures for students with disabilities who participate in the programs established under this chapter and shall determine certification requirements for teachers and appropriate credentials for all other personnel delivering education or related services in these programs.

Section 59-36-50. The board of trustees of each school district shall provide education programming for all preschool children with disabilities residing in the district. Working with other agencies, the districts may enter into agreements with other districts or agencies, public or private, which maintain approved special education programs or who operate noneducational programs in which special education programming or related services might be provided by the district. In order to facilitate the implementation of this responsibility, each district shall arrange transportation for all children enrolled in preschool programs for children with disabilities who require transportation.

Beginning on their third birthday, preschool children with disabilities meeting the placement criteria developed by the State Department of Education must have available a special education program, including related services if needed. Local education agencies must evaluate a child in accordance with criteria established by the Department of Education and develop an individualized education program within timelines that allow placement to occur on the third birthday. Evaluations conducted by other professionals or agencies within the last six months may be accepted and used in developing the initial individualized education program so as to ensure a timely initiation of that program and to avoid overtesting of the child. When children turn three between the ending date of one school year and the beginning date of the subsequent school year, an evaluation must be conducted and an individualized education program must be developed within timelines that allow for placement to occur on the beginning date of the subsequent school year. However, if the individualized education plan team determines that there is a need for summer services, these services may be provided before the beginning of the school year. School districts must adhere to the policies and procedures established by the State Department of Education to ensure a smooth transition from the early intervention services provided to infants and toddlers under Section 44-7-2510, et seq. (BabyNet) to the district preschool program.

Early intervention service coordinators, parents of children with disabilities who are ready to enter preschool programming, or representatives of agencies or other entities providing services to a child with disabilities must notify a school district at least fourteen calendar days before a transition meeting. At least ninety days before the date on which a child becomes eligible for the preschool program, school district personnel must participate in a transition meeting requested by early intervention case managers, or representatives of agencies or other entities providing services to the child.

Section 59-36-60. No provision of this chapter may be construed to limit the responsibility of state agencies currently providing services to preschool children with disabilities or their families. Funds provided under this statute shall not be used to supplant services previously provided by other state or federal agencies.

Section 59-36-70. (A) With the assistance of staff provided by the Department of Education, the state advisory council shall submit annually by February first of each year a report to the Interagency Coordinating Council on P.L. 99-457, the Joint Legislative Committee on Children, the Senate Education Committee, and the House Education and Public Works Committee, summarizing services provided for preschool children with disabilities and their families. The report must include but is not limited to:

(1) State Department of Education initiatives relative to preschool programs for children with disabilities;

(2) data and program information collected from the local education agencies relative to the provision of special education and related services and on its child find activities;

(3) financial information pertaining to the implementation of the program; and

(4) update on the policies and procedures governing the implementation of preschool programs for children with disabilities, including recommendations for improvement of the preschool program, if needed.

(5) information provided by the state agencies designated in Section 59-36-20 to the advisory council by December first of each year in a report which will include each agency's initiatives, data, financial information, and pertinent policies and procedures relative to programs for preschool children with disabilities, as well as recommendations for improving services for these children.

(B) State agencies designated in Section 59-36-20 shall submit annually by December first of each year a report to the advisory council on a form provided by the council.

Section 59-36-80. The Committee to Study Formula Funding for Educational Programs shall conduct a study of the costs of the program for preschool children with disabilities and, if appropriate, recommend weights to be included in the Education Finance Act, Section 59-20-40 and report to the General Assembly no later than November 1, 1993.

Until the weightings for preschool children with disabilities are developed and funded, four-year-old children with hearing or visual disabilities and all five-year-old children with disabilities will continue to be counted for funding purposes under the Education Finance Act. Funding for all other preschool students with disabilities will be provided for in the General Appropriations Act."

SECTION 2. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 59-33-110. The State Board of Education shall establish a mediation process as a part of the `due process' provision required in accordance with Public Law 94-142. If all parties agree, mediation will be used before any due process hearings required by Public Law 94-142 or at any time during the due process procedures. During discussions of the mediation process with parents, it must be clearly stated that the right of the parents or the school district to due process is in no way compromised by agreeing to mediation and that neither parents nor the school district are bound by the outcomes of mediation. The mediation process must be developed by July 1, 1994, and implemented during the 1994-95 school year."

SECTION 3. Section 59-63-20(6) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"(6) Four-year-olds may attend optional child development programs and all three-year-old, four-year-old, and five-year-old handicapped children with disabilities in accordance with their individual education program, may participate in any public education preschool program, including optional child development programs. Children with disabilities served in four-year-old optional child development programs may be counted for funding under both funding sources may participate in early intervention programs."

SECTION 4. The provisions of Chapter 36 of Title 59 as added by this act must be implemented beginning with the 1993-94 school year. The remaining provisions of this act take effect upon approval by the Governor. /
