The House assembled at 9:30 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Our Father God, to this altar of prayer we come not to ask for the fruits of our desires, but to put ourselves in such a relationship with You that You can do through us that which is right. Save us from giving to the tasks that await us anything less than the best, from allowing our minds from harboring evil thoughts and from words spoken in haste. With eyes wide open, may we see God as our Father and our fellowmen as Your children. In that vision may we dream our dreams, fashion our lives, and enact our laws.
Hear us, Lord, in this our prayer of thanksgiving for Your blessings.
Amen.

Referred to House Committee on Education and Public Works
120 Day Review Expiration Date February 12, 1996
Rep. QUINN, from the Committee on Invitations and Memorial Resolutions, submitted a favorable report, on:
Invitation of Columbia Prayer Committee for a reception/talk, March 23, 1995, 9:00 A.M.-10:00 A.M. in the board room of the Lt. Governor's Office in the State House.
The invitation was accepted.
The following was received.
Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I am hereby returning without my approval H. 3218, R. 14, an Act:
TO AUTHORIZE THE FORMER BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A DISSOLVED NONPROFIT
CORPORATION OR ELEEMOSYNARY ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN FLORENCE COUNTY TO
DISTRIBUTE THE REMAINING ASSETS OF THE ORGANIZATION; AND TO DELAY THE
EFFECTIVE DATE BY TWO YEARS FOR CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THIS ACT.
This veto is based upon an informal opinion of the Attorney General's Office
dated March 6, 1995. The opinion states:
The act bearing ratification number 14 of 1995 would authorize the former
board of directors of a dissolved nonprofit corporation or eleemosynary
organization located in Florence County to distribute the remaining assets of
the organization and to delay the effective date by two years for certain
provisions of the act. R-14 appears to be identical to R-3... in all respects
with the exception that specific statutory references found in R-3 have been
deleted. As with R-3, this act contains no legislative findings as to why
such organizations in Florence County should be treated differently than other
similar corporations subject to the South Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act.
For the above reasons, I am returning H. 3218, R. 14, without my signature.
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley
The veto was ordered printed in the Journal.
