R. 321; S. 1350--GOVERNOR'S VETO OVERRIDDEN

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

May 6, 1996
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:

I am hereby returning without my approval S. 1350, R. 321, an Act:

TO AMEND ACT 159 OF 1995, RELATING TO DEVOLVING THE AUTHORITY FOR APPOINTMENTS AND BUDGETARY APPROVALS FOR CERTAIN OFFICES, BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS FROM THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION REPRESENTING BERKELEY COUNTY TO THE GOVERNING BODY OF BERKELEY COUNTY, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF ACT 159 OF 1995 DO NOT APPLY TO A SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT.

This veto is based upon my belief that S. 1350, R. 321 of 1996, is unconstitutional. It is clearly an act for a specific county. Article VIII, Section 7 of the South Carolina Constitution states that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted." Also, this Bill addresses circumstances which could be dealt with by general legislation. Article III, Section 34(IX) of the South Carolina Constitution prohibits the adoption of a special law where a "general law can be made applicable".

For the above reason, I am returning S. 1350, R. 321, without my approval.

Sincerely,
David M. Beasley

The question was put, shall the Act become a part of the law, the veto of his Excellency, the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding, the yeas and nays were taken resulting as follows:

Yeas 3; Nays 1

Those who voted in the affirmative are:

Brown, H.           Williams            Wofford

Total--3

Those who voted in the negative are:

Dantzler

Total--1

So, the veto of the Governor was overridden and a message was ordered sent to the Senate accordingly.

RECORD FOR VOTING

I was out of Chamber when vote was taken; had I been present, I would have voted "yes" to override the Governor's veto.

Rep. JAMES N. LAW
