TO PERMIT CERTAIN STUDENTS UNTIL DECEMBER 1, 1996, THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE EDUCATION ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (EEE) OR CERTAIN SECTIONS THEREOF NOT PASSED FOR A FOURTH TIME UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS.
A. The General Assembly finds that:
(1) for the past two years a temporary budget proviso allowed students in the teacher preparation program who met certain requirements to undertake a fourth attempt to pass the Education Entrance Examination;
(2) when the General Assembly chose to end the authorization for the fourth opportunity to sit for the examination by deleting this budget proviso in the 1995-96 general appropriations act, some students, acting in good faith, were caught in the process of qualifying for the fourth attempt on the exam; and

Senator LAND proposed the following Amendment No. 77 (JIC\5915AC.96), which was adopted:
Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part II, by adding an appropriately numbered SECTION to read:
TO AMEND SECTION 12-37-220, AS AMENDED, OF THE 1976 CODE, RELATING TO PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS, SO AS TO SET THE VALUE ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXEMPTION FOR MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT IN GREIGE MILLS AND TO DEFINE THE TERM "GREIGE MILL".
A. The General Assembly finds that the treatment of property in greige mills for purposes of implementing the exemption for pollution control equipment has been established by policy of the former South Carolina Tax Commission and its successor the South Carolina Department of Revenue and Taxation. Further, the General Assembly finds that in 1994, the General Assembly intended to codify the policy, however, the 1994 legislation, Act No. 497, Section 100, was inaccurate in its description of the policy. It is the intent of the General Assembly to enact this legislation to correct the description of the policy and to clearly set forth in the 1976 Code the policy of the South Carolina Department of Revenue and Taxation relating to the pollution control exemption for greige mills as it existed prior to the enactment of the 1994 legislation which inaccurately described the policy.
B. Section 12-37-220(A)(8) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Section 100A, Part II, Act 497 of 1994, is further amended to read:
