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, hear the words of benediction in the "General Epistle of St. Jude"... vv. 24-25:
"Now unto him that is able to keep you
from falling, and to present you faultless
before the presence of his glory with
exceeding joy, to the only wise God our
Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever. Amen."
Let us pray.
O God, our Father, in whose Name we began this Session of our South Carolina General Assembly:
We thank Thee that among the values of this world that change there are those that never change. We call those values "the eternal verities." Help us to constantly steer our life's course by those stars of reality.
For the privilege of serving together for the good of our beloved State, WE THANK YOU.
We lay our record of stewardship before You. In the counsels of Thy Divine Providence veto the ill-conceived legislation, but prosper, we pray, that which is good and right.
Go with us... and stay with us as we move into the future.
Hear the ancient prayer which we say to You... and to each other:
"The Lord watch between Thee and me
When we are absent from each other,"
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

The eight hours must include a minimum of two hours of instruction on changes in federal and state law affecting licensees. A licensee having successfully completed a thirty-hour course for qualification as a broker is not required to participate in the continuing education program for that particular year. A licensee who decides to become inactive is not required to participate in the continuing education program but must complete the eight-hour requirement before returning to active status.
The commissioner shall administer the continuing education program and shall approve and regulate courses, instructors, and course providers to implement the purposes of this section. In administering the program, the commission may promulgate regulations to require licensees to provide proof of compliance with the continuing education requirements as a condition of license renewal. The commission may contract with an outside provider for the record keeping services required by this section.
Temporary fees must be charged by and paid to the commission until permanent fees are established by regulation as follows:
