(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

Eternal God, gracious Father, our needs are many, but You are the sufficiency to satisfy them all. Breathe on us now a renewed consciousness of Your presence, Your peace and Your power. Take our trembling hands in Yours and guide our hesitant, uncertain feet into paths of righteousness. Spare us from lament about the past which paralyzes us from moving bravely and courageously on. In Your impeccable wisdom, transform our failures and frustrations into opportunities to help make a better South Carolina. Keep us calm in disposition, clear in mind, warm in heart, and sound in judgement. In dark times and in bright days, enable us to say in complete confidence: "The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; the Lord is the Strength of my life, of whom should I be afraid?" Amen.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by adding an appropriately numbered section to read:

/Section     ___.     (A)     The Lexington County Delegation shall appoint an education advisory committee selected from Lexington high school areas. The committee must be appointed by individual delegation members from within high school areas as follows:

Renumber sections to conform.

Amend title to conform.

Rep. KNOTTS explained the amendment.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. KOON made the Point of Order that the Bill was improperly before the House for consideration since printed copies of the Bill have not been upon the desks of the members for one day.

The SPEAKER overruled the Point of Order.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. STUART raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 1 was out of order as it was not germane in that the amendment dealt with a study committee and the Bill dealt with the election of School Board members.

The SPEAKER stated that the Bill dealt with the election of the Lexington School District 1 School Board.

Rep. STUART further stated that the Bill dealt with the election of the Lexington 1 School Board and the amendment dealt with looking into an advisory committee.

The SPEAKER stated that the amendment did deal with an Education Advisory Committee.

Rep. KNOTTS stated that the amendment gave the committee a vehicle to get out and find out if there is a problem with the way the School Board trustees are elected which had not been done in a Bill previously. He further stated that the amendment allowed time to sit down and study the composition of the district and figure out if there is a reason to change the way they are elected.

The SPEAKER stated that the amendment established a Committee for receiving public input aimed at improving the education system but it did not have a direct reference to the School Board itself even though it did refer to district lines, overcrowding and equal representation.

Rep. KNOTTS stated that the district line portion was what he was dealing with in the study committee and that would make it germane.

Rep. WRIGHT stated because of the listing of the five high schools that are totally within District 1 that it would indicate that it was not beyond School District 1.

The SPEAKER stated that the Bill applied to the elections of the Board of Trustees for Lexington County School District 1 and the amendment did not relate to that in any manner and he sustained the Point of Order and ruled the Amendment out of order.

Further proceedings were interrupted by expiration of time on the local uncontested Calendar, the pending question being consideration of amendments.

H. 3361--POINT OF ORDER

The following Joint Resolution was taken up.

H. 3361 -- Ways and Means Committee: A JOINT RESOLUTION TO MAKE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FROM FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 SURPLUS REVENUES.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. HUFF made the Point of Order that the Joint Resolution was improperly before the House for consideration since printed copies of the Joint Resolution have not been upon the desks of the members for three legislative days.

The SPEAKER sustained the Point of Order.

H. 3096--POINT OF ORDER

The following Bill was taken up.

H. 3096 -- Reps. Thomas, Marchbanks, Simrill, Cromer, Walker, Vaughn, Wilder, Tripp, Elliott, Wells, Stille, Kelley, Richardson, Gamble, Stuart, Phillips, D. Smith, Law, Allison, Harrison, Keyserling, Tucker, Meacham, Shissias, Robinson, Baxley and Spearman: A BILL TO AMEND SECTION 16-1-60, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE DEFINITION OF "VIOLENT CRIMES", SO AS TO INCLUDE THE CRIME OF HOMICIDE BY CHILD ABUSE.

POINT OF ORDER

The SPEAKER sustained the Point of Order.
