The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, 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:
The prophet Malachi wrote:
"Ever since the days of your ancestors you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, 'How shall we return'?"
(Malachi 3:7)
Let us join our hearts as we bow in prayer:
Remaining obedient to Your teachings is not an easy thing for us, O Lord. We struggle again and again to be Your faithful servants, only to find ourselves falling short. We're not alone, of course; through the centuries others have struggled with issues of dutifulness and obedience. But we have returned to this Chamber today, dear God, in order to exercise our best understanding of what You might have us now do for the people of this State. Embrace these Senators and their staff members in Your divine wisdom and guide them along the path You would have them follow. May they experience rich confidence in Your blessings and in Your promises-all to your glory, O God, as well as for the well-being of the people they serve. In Your loving name we pray, Lord.
Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 816, R-165. This veto is based upon my belief that S. 816, R- 165, is unconstitutional.
(R165, S816 (Word version)) -- Senator Malloy: AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT EACH MEMBER OF THE DARLINGTON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE SHALL BE ALLOWED AND PAID FROM DARLINGTON COUNTY "C" FUND REVENUES SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR EACH MEETING AT WHICH HE IS IN ATTENDANCE, TO PROVIDE THAT THE COMMITTEE
This Bill allows each member of the Darlington County Transportation Committee to be paid from Darlington County "C" Fund revenues $75 for each meeting in which the member is in attendance. The state Constitution clearly prohibits the enactment of special legislation where a "general law can be made applicable." See S.C. Const., Art. III, Section 34 (IX). The General Assembly has established a general statute that prohibits county transportation committees from using "C" funds to pay per diems as administrative expenses. See S.C. Code Section 12-28-2740(B), as amended. It is unconstitutional for the General Assembly to pass special legislation, like S. 816, R-165, in contravention of general law. Each county's transportation committee should be subject to the same general law either allowing or disallowing per diems. Legislation like S. 816, R-165, demonstrates the policy basis for Article III, Section 34's, directive that special legislation be avoided in all cases where general legislation can be enacted.
Additionally, S. 816, R-165, affects only Darlington County and is, therefore, clearly an act for a specific county. Such acts are in violation of Article VIII, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, which provides that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted."
In summary, I believe the specific nature of S. 816, R-165, renders this Act unconstitutional. For this reason, I am returning S. 816, R-165, to you without my signature.
Sincerely,
/s/ Mark Sanford

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby vetoing and returning without my signature S. 804, R-164.
(R164, S804 (Word version)) -- Senator Alexander: AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 604 OF 1994, RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTIONS COMMISSION FOR OCONEE COUNTY, SO AS TO AUTHORIZE THE COMMISSION TO APPOINT AND REMOVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
This veto is based on my belief that this Bill is unconstitutional.
S. 804, R-164, proposes to authorize the Oconee County Registration and Elections Commission, created by unconstitutional special legislation through Act 604 of 1994, to appoint and remove the Executive Director. As such, this legislation affects only Oconee County and is, therefore, clearly an Act for a specific county.
Such Acts are in violation of Article VIII, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, which provides that "[n]o laws for a specific county shall be enacted." Acts similar to S. 804, R-164, have been struck down by the South Carolina Supreme Court as violative of Article VIII, Section 7.
For this reason, I am vetoing and returning S. 804, R-164, to you without my signature.
Sincerely,
/s/ Mark Sanford
