Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter
The Senate assembled at 10:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, we read in the Epistle of James, Chapter 5 (v.11a):
"Behold, we call those happy who were
steadfast."
Let us pray.
You are Great and Mighty, O Lord, and greatly to be praised by the children of every race. Your power is wonderful, and Your wisdom is infinite and Your mercy is our joy and our hope!
An election year, O Lord, is always a difficult time for families and persons who offer to be public servants.
When life presses upon us, and when we are hemmed in on all sides, help us to look up, and reach up, and look forward with a forward stride.
Help us to lay aside the impediments of useless and trivial burdens and find our salvation in our faithful response to our God of Mercy, and say to each other:
"O give thanks to the Lord...
For His steadfast love endures
forever." Amen.
At 10:05 A.M., on motion of Senator DRUMMOND, the Senate receded from business not to exceed fifteen minutes.
At 10:25 A.M., the Senate resumed.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

(R363, S972) -- Senator Bryan: AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR PAYMENT FOR THE ATTENDANCE OF MEETINGS BY THE LAURENS, McCORMICK, GREENWOOD, AND ABBEVILLE COUNTIES' TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES.
May 20, 1996
Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 972, R. 363, an Act:
TO PROVIDE FOR PAYMENT FOR THE ATTENDANCE OF MEETINGS BY THE LAURENS, McCORMICK, GREENWOOD, AND ABBEVILLE COUNTIES' TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES.
This veto is based on my belief that S. 972, R. 363 of 1996, is unconstitutional. Article III, Section 30 of the South Carolina Constitution states that, "The General Assembly shall never grant extra compensation, fee or allowance to any public officer, agent, servant or contractor after service rendered, or contract made, nor authorize payment or part payment of any claim made under any contract not authorized by law."
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley
The veto of the Governor was taken up for immediate consideration.
Senator BRYAN moved that the veto of the Governor be overridden.
The question was put: Shall the Act become law, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding?
The "ayes" and "nays" were demanded and taken, resulting as follows:
Alexander Bryan Cork Courson Courtney Drummond Elliott Fair Ford Giese Glover Gregory Hayes Holland Hutto Jackson Land Lander Leatherman Leventis Matthews McConnell McGill Mescher Moore O'Dell Passailaigue Patterson Peeler Rankin Reese Richter Rose Russell Ryberg Saleeby Setzler Short Smith, G.

(R370, S1266) -- Senator Gregory: AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 50-11-310, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE OPEN SEASON FOR ANTLERED DEER, SO AS TO PROHIBIT THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FROM PROVIDING A BREAK IN THE SEASON ON PRIVATE LANDS IN GAME ZONE 4.
May 20, 1996
Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 1266, R. 370, an Act:
TO AMEND SECTION 50-11-310, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE OPEN SEASON FOR ANTLERED DEER, SO AS TO PROHIBIT THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FROM PROVIDING A BREAK IN THE SEASON ON PRIVATE LANDS IN GAME ZONE 4 AND PROHIBITING THE DEPARTMENT FROM CLOSING ANY PART OF THE DEER SEASON IN WHICH FIREARMS ARE ALLOWED ON PRIVATE LANDS IN GAME ZONE 4.
This legislation prohibits the Department of Natural Resources from providing for breaks in the deer season in Game Zone 4. The bill also prohibits the department from closing any part of the deer season in which firearms are allowed on private lands in Game Zone 4. This results in an undue restriction of the department's authority to regulate hunting in South Carolina, and I am, therefore, vetoing the bill.
Accordingly, I am returning S. 1266, R. 370, without my approval.
Sincerely,
David M. Beasley
