Amend Title To Conform

Whereas, in 1987, the General Assembly created the South Carolina Folk Heritage Awards, recently renamed the Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards, to be presented each year by the General Assembly to South Carolina folk artists who have used their lives to create beauty and meaning for their communities and for their State in ways that are significant because their work has lasted often for hundreds of years; and

Whereas, the winners of the 2004 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards are citizens who have maintained and enriched the lives of all persons of their communities and of the State through their unique talents and through their substantial contributions to the traditional heritage of South Carolina; and

Whereas, the 2004 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards Advisory Committee has performed its duties admirably. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, invite the winners of the 2004 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards and the members of the 2004 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards Advisory Committee to attend a joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Hall of the House of Representatives at 12:00 noon, on Wednesday, April 21, 2004, or a time mutually convenient for both bodies, as determined by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and that the members of the General Assembly recognize and commend the 2004 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards winners for their outstanding contributions to folk art in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved:

(1)    That at the conclusion of the joint session for the 2004 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards, the House of Representatives and the Senate shall meet in joint session in the Hall of the House of Representatives, for the purpose of electing members of the boards of trustees of Clemson University, The Citadel, Coastal Carolina University, College of Charleston, Francis Marion University, Lander University, Medical University of South Carolina, South Carolina State University, University of South Carolina, Wil Lou Gray Opportunity School, and Winthrop University to succeed those members whose terms expire in 2004, or whose positions otherwise must be filled.

(2)    That all nominations be made by the Chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee which screened the candidates for the above offices and that no further nominating nor any seconding speeches be made during the joint session by members of the General Assembly on behalf of any of the candidates.
