Part II, Section 64, page II-65, -Insurance Fraud - I am vetoing Section 64 because it eliminates a resource directed to support investigation and prosecution of insurance fraud.
Part II, Section 79, pages II-73 and II-74, -Qualifications for 4% Assessment Ratio - I am vetoing Section 79 because it was passed in other, separate legislation.
Part II, Section 84, pages II-76 and II-77, -Greige Mills Machinery and Equipment Tax Exemption - I am vetoing Section 84 because it was passed in other, separate legislation.
Part II, Section 101, page II-85 and II-86, -County Delegation Payments in Lieu of the Provision of Office Space - I am vetoing Section 101 because the question of local governments providing office space for local legislative delegations is addressed in current law.
For these reasons, I veto these items.
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I am hereby returning without my approval H. 4717, R. 524, an Act:
TO AMEND SECTION 44-96-290, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO STANDARDS USED FOR GRANTING PERMITS TO PERSONS TO OPERATE A SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY, SO AS TO ALLOW THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL TO ISSUE PERMITS FOR SHORT-TERM STRUCTURAL FILLS AND TO DEFINE TERMS.
This Bill would exempt persons who wish to construct a short-term structural landfill from the requirement that the landfill be consistent with applicable solid waste plans. The South Carolina Solid Waste Policy and Management Act of 1991 required the State and every county, either alone
For the above reasons, I am vetoing H. 4717, R. 524.
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley

Those who voted in the negative are:
So, the veto of the Governor was overridden and a message was ordered sent to the Senate accordingly.
In accordance with Section 8-13-700(B) of the S.C. Code, I abstained from voting on the below referenced bill or amendment because of a potential conflict of interest and wish to have my recusal noted for the record in the House Journal of this date.
Bill #: 4717 General Subject Matter: Landfill and Trash Facilities - on the vote to override permitting the Governor's veto
The reason for abstaining on the above reference legislation is:
A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-740(C) because of representation of a client before a particular agency or commission by me or an individual or business with whom I am associated within the past year. I abstained because my law partner advises he has a client purchasing land with intent to seek permits from state and counties for operating a construction debris landfill.
