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, hear the words of the preacher in Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3(v.11):
"God has made everything beautiful... in
its time..."
Let us pray.
We thank You, Our Heavenly Father, for the healing and return to us of Your servant, our friend, Ed Saleeby.
We thank You for Your grace and promise of Eternal Life bestowed upon Your servants, "Tincy" Setzler and my Margaret... and for so many friends who shared their strength.
Help us all to realize, in our struggles on earth, in whatever shape, form, or degree, that the words of the preacher in Ecclesiastes are true, that "God has made everything beautiful... in its time!"
Amen!

March 15, 1994
Dear Legislative Members:
The Joint Legislative Committee to Study Criminal Laws was created by Act 184 of 1993. As required by the act, the following is the initial report of the committee.
The sixteen-member committee met and organized on November 18, 1993, and elected Senator Donald H. Holland as Chairman and Representative L. Morgan Martin as Vice Chairman.
The General Assembly has charged the committee with making "a continuous study and investigation of all facets of the laws relating to crime and punishment including, but not limited to, the study of revisions to this state's criminal code and the review of problems and concerns with the criminal justice system, so as to recommend appropriate statutory or regulatory modifications."
The committee has met and discussed general problems and concerns relating to all aspects of the criminal justice system in this State. The committee has heard testimony from various persons relating to prosecution of offenders, sentencing guidelines, classification act amendments, and juvenile crime. The committee intends to hear from other groups involved in the criminal justice system in the future.
This report contains the initial findings and recommendations of the committee.
INITIAL FINDINGS:
The committee finds that crime in South Carolina is a complex problem and is a major concern of the citizens of this State. It is the goal and purpose of this committee to carefully study all legislation which involves and impacts criminal laws.
The committee finds that while particular attention should be given to the impact of juvenile offenders and violent offenders on our State and criminal justice system, efforts must be concentrated on all areas of criminal law, including domestic violence, prison overcrowding, and sentencing laws.
The committee finds that crime has a major impact on all aspects of our society today. It impacts our state's economy, civil court system, family lives, and society as a whole.
The committee finds that it must study the criminal rather than just the crimes committed.
INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
The committee recommends that the "clean-up" legislation to the Crime Classification Act of 1993 be enacted. At the time of this report, several House bills, including H. 4323, H. 4350, H. 4356, H. 4358, H. 4359, H. 4365, and H. 4512, are pending which would accomplish this. Also, there is a Senate Judiciary Committee Bill, S. 1157, pending which encompasses all of the suggested revisions in one bill.
The committee recommends funding for staff in that it believes funding is crucial to the effectiveness of the committee. Act 184 of 1993, which created this committee, allows the committee to "employ the staff authorized by the General Assembly in the State General Appropriations Act for expenses of the committee." Currently, the committee has no funding for staff or expenses. Without funding and staff, issues cannot be effectively researched or studied and the committee will be unable to meet its mandate from the General Assembly to study all facets of the laws relating to crime and punishment and to review problems and concerns with the criminal justice system.
The committee recommends that funding be made available for a temporary, part-time clerical position to assist in the administration of committee functions and responsibilities. Also, the committee recommends that funding be made available to employ an attorney for the committee. An attorney is necessary to research the myriad of constitutional and other issues involved in the study of criminal law. The committee needs an attorney to advise the committee on criminal law, to draft proposed legislation, to track trends in the criminal justice system in the various states as well as nationally and to research these trends, and to generally be available to assist the committee in its work.
Also, the committee notes that the Sentencing Guidelines Commission will no longer exist as of July 1, 1994. The committee has drawn upon the resources of the commission, and believes that when the commission ceases to exist, there will be an even greater need to have an attorney available to study the various facets of the criminal justice system.
In closing, the committee looks forward to working with each of you as we continue to study all areas of criminal law and the criminal justice system.
Sincerely,
Donald H. Holland
L. Morgan Martin

Whereas, the 1993-94 College of Charleston men's basketball team has received an at-large bid to the NCAA Basketball Tournament, a fantastic honor for a very deserving coach and team; and

Whereas, Coach Kresse was TAAC's Coach of the Year with Marion Bushy named the conference's Player of the Year, the only time a first year TAAC team has claimed either honor; and
Whereas, Head Coach Kresse has won 364 games over fifteen seasons at the College of Charleston losing only 98, resulting in a .788 winning percentage; and
Whereas, receiving the at-large invitational bid to the NCAA is an outstanding tribute to the Cougars, to the superior coaching of Coach Kresse and his staff, and to the dedication and hard work of each and every Cougar player; and
Whereas, Coach Kresse, his staff, and the Cougar men's basketball team have brought great honor to the College of Charleston and the State of South Carolina and are to be congratulated for their NCAA Tournament bid and for a truly memorable season. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
