The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr. as follows:
Our thought for today is from Proverbs 13:10: "Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice."
Let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, as these Representatives prepare to discuss the budget for our State, instill in them the sense of fairness and responsibility. Give them wisdom to make the decisions which shall be good for the people of this State. Help them to have consideration and be attentive to the voice of reason. Guard and guide each of these people during this week. Bless our State and Nation and her leaders. Keep our defenders of freedom in Your loving care. Hear us as we pray. Amen.

Columbia, S.C., March 4, 2004
Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
The Senate respectfully informs your Honorable Body that it concurs in the amendments proposed by the House to H. 3448:
H. 3448 (Word version) -- Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee: A BILL TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 41-1-110 SO AS TO AFFIRM THE AT-WILL
Very respectfully,
President
Received as information.
The SPEAKER ordered the following veto printed in the Journal:
March 8, 2004
The Honorable David H. Wilkins
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I am hereby returning without my approval H. 4700 (Word version), R.208, a Joint Resolution:
TO PROVIDE THAT SCHOOL DAYS MISSED ON JANUARY 26 AND 27, 2004, BY THE STUDENTS OF SCHOOLS IN BAMBERG-EHRHARDT SCHOOL DISTRICT 1 AND DENMARK-OLAR SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 IN BAMBERG COUNTY WHEN THE SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED DUE TO ICE OR INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXEMPTED FROM THE MAKE-UP REQUIREMENT THAT FULL SCHOOL DAYS MISSED DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES BE MADE UP.
This veto is based on the intention upon which Act 89 of 2003 was signed by me on July 23, 2003.
When I signed this legislation last year, it was my aim to give school districts a series of options to make up missed school days. My opposition to legislation, like H. 4700, then, as it is now, is that it is local in nature.
As a result of this requirement, Bamberg-Ehrhardt School District 1 designated February 13, February 16, and March 8 as make up days. All of the scheduled make-up days took place after the missed school days of January 26 and 27, 2003. However, the school district, unlike many other school districts throughout South Carolina, has opted to appeal to the General Assembly for relief under Section 59-1-430(B) of the South Carolina Code.
Denmark-Olar School District 2 designated February 13, March 5, and May 26 as make up days under the law. As a contrast to District 1, District 2 has already used February 13 and March 5, as their designated make up days, and therefore is not in need of legislative relief.
As a policy, we should require school districts to exhaust their make up days prior to providing legislative relief under Section 59-1-430(B), except in extremely unusual circumstances. In this case, however, many school districts have either proceeded with using their scheduled make up days or intend to do so. We should not simply carve out an exception for one school district.
For this reason, I am returning H. 4700, R.208 to you without my signature.
Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor
The Veto on the following Act was taken up:
(R208) H. 4700 (Word version) -- Rep. Rhoad: A JOINT RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE THAT SCHOOL DAYS MISSED ON JANUARY 26 AND 27, 2004, BY THE STUDENTS OF SCHOOLS IN BAMBERG-EHRHARDT SCHOOL DISTRICT 1 AND DENMARK-OLAR SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 IN BAMBERG COUNTY WHEN THE
