Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 9:00 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:

In the 9th Psalm we read:

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds."     (Psalm 9:1)

Let us pray:

Gracious Lord, we do pour out songs of thanksgiving today. You have blessed South Carolina richly through the decisions and actions of these Senators during this term. Let us not forget the good that has been accomplished by them, even as they continue to labor this very day to tie up loose ends. Indeed, be with all of Your faithful servants around the globe, O God-all who strive pointedly to do Your will, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, in Washington or Columbia, in Sumter or Hilton Head, in Round O or Abbeville. Now, dear Lord, soon grant Your servants in this Senate sure rest from their labors. In Your name we pray.
Amen.

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:

I am hereby returning S. 656, R-172, with line item vetoes detailed below.

(R172, S656 (Word version)) -- Senators Leatherman, Moore, Leventis, McGill, Cleary, Setzler, Elliott and Land: AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 11-11-220 SO AS TO ESTABLISH A SEPARATE FUND IN THE STATE TREASURY STYLED THE CONTINGENCY RESERVE FUND TO WHICH MUST BE CREDITED ALL SURPLUS GENERAL FUND REVENUES AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE USES FOR THIS FUND, TO APPROPRIATE SURPLUS GENERAL FUND REVENUES TO SUPPLEMENT DISTRIBUTIONS TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE UNREVISED 2007 INDEX OF TAXPAYING ABILITY; TO AMEND SECTIONS 12-36-910 AND 12-36-2120, BOTH AS AMENDED, RELATING TO SALES TAX, SO AS TO EXEMPT FROM STATE SALES TAX EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 2007, ITEMS OF UNPREPARED FOOD WHICH LAWFULLY MAY BE PURCHASED WITH UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOOD COUPONS AND TO MAKE A CONFORMING AMENDMENT, TO PROVIDE A SPECIAL FUND FOR THE RECEIPT OF FUNDS APPROPRIATED FOR THE STATE PORTS AUTHORITY PORT ACCESS ROAD AND PROVIDE FOR ITS CARRY FORWARD INTO SUCCEEDING FISCAL YEARS, TO REDUCE THE INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX IMPOSED PURSUANT TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA INCOME TAX ACT BY REDUCING THE RATE APPLICABLE TO THE LOWEST BRACKET OF TAXABLE INCOME FROM 2.5 PERCENT TO ZERO; TO AMEND SECTION 59-149-50, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO LIFE SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY, SO AS TO REVISE REQUIREMENTS AND DELETE OBSOLETE LANGUAGE; BY ADDING SECTION 59-104-25 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A RESIDENT STUDENT WHO IS AT LEAST A SOPHOMORE ATTENDING A PUBLIC OR PRIVATE INSTITUTION IN THIS STATE, MAJORING IN SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS, AND RECEIVING A PALMETTO FELLOWS SCHOLARSHIP SHALL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL PALMETTO FELLOWS SCHOLARSHIP STIPEND FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS UNDERGRADUATE TERM IF HE MEETS CERTAIN CONDITIONS INCLUDING MAKING SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS TOWARD RECEIVING AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS, AND TO PROVIDE THAT A SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS MAJOR INCLUDES AN ENGINEERING MAJOR; BY ADDING SECTION 59-149-15 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A RESIDENT


Printed Page 4027 . . . . . Friday, June 29, 2007

STUDENT WHO IS AT LEAST A SOPHOMORE ATTENDING A PUBLIC OR PRIVATE INSTITUTION IN THIS STATE, MAJORING IN SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS, AND RECEIVING A LIFE SCHOLARSHIP SHALL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LIFE SCHOLARSHIP STIPEND FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS UNDERGRADUATE TERM IF HE MEETS CERTAIN CONDITIONS INCLUDING MAKING SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS TOWARD RECEIVING AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS, AND TO PROVIDE THAT A SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS MAJOR INCLUDES AN ENGINEERING MAJOR; AND TO AMEND SECTION 59-150-370, RELATING TO THE SC HOPE SCHOLARSHIP, SO AS TO INCREASE THE BOOK ALLOWANCE; AND TO APPROPRIATE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE CONTINGENCY RESERVE FUND TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH AUTHORITY FOR HYDROGEN GRANTS.

First, I would like to compliment and thank the House and the Senate for their work in providing the largest net tax cut in the history of the state. Over the past four years, as revenues have continued to climb, we have maintained that these large surpluses should be returned to where they came, the taxpayers.

It is particularly worth noting that this tax relief is almost ten times what the Senate was contemplating just a few weeks ago and that through our efforts and the efforts of like-minded conservatives in the House and Senate, we succeeded in getting this significant tax cut.

We continue to believe that cutting income taxes through the top marginal rate is a better way to stimulate the economy, and in this regard we consider this a down payment on a larger effort to reform the income tax code. Today, the tax code is littered with exemptions and loopholes and multiple brackets that serve as a drag on investment and the economy. When I first ran for office, I proposed the simple idea of trading off a tax on consumption in exchange for eliminating the income tax altogether. Since that time, the landscape has certainly changed, and we are willing to look at a more measured approach. However, we do believe that we could significantly simplify the current income tax code while providing tax relief.

In Section 8 of this legislation, the General Assembly appropriates dollars from the Contingency Reserve Fund into the hydrogen program. As a result, the legislation is an Appropriations Act and, therefore,


Printed Page 4028 . . . . . Friday, June 29, 2007

subject to the line-item veto. As such, there are two specific provisions that I would like to highlight and strike.

First, I am vetoing Section 7 of this bill. This section creates an additional stipend up to $3,300 for each Palmetto Fellow Scholarship and $2,500 for each Life Scholarship for recipients who major in science or mathematics disciplines, computer science or informational technology, engineering, science education, math education, health care and related disciplines including medicine and dentistry.

While we believe encouraging students into high need subject areas such as math and science is an admirable goal, we believe that we should proceed cautiously on expanding the LIFE and HOPE Scholarships. Just this past fall, the Board of Economic Advisers had to revise downward their estimate of the Lottery projections from the November 2006 estimate by $20 million. In addition, we are starting to see signs that the North Carolina Lottery, which has been in existence for just over a year, will have a negative impact on our revenues here in this state. Does it make any sense to expand the program as revenue appears to shrink?

I am also vetoing Section 8 of S. 656. This section appropriates $5 million from the Contingency Reserve Fund to the South Carolina Research Authority for hydrogen grants.

I have detailed in my recent veto of S. 243 my feelings on moving forward and spending state tax dollars in hydrogen research. In as much as they are attached in this bill, let me quickly reiterate this administration's belief that before we increase our level of public investment in hydrogen research, there needs to be more evidence of a return to the taxpayer.

In that message, I laid out three very specific reasons for vetoing that legislation. First, we should not put all of our eggs in one basket; we should be looking at a variety of fossil fuel alternatives, not just hydrogen. Second, government should not be leading on technology, the private sector should. We are seeing investments, such as British Petroleum $3.5 million investment on a single hydrogen plant in Beijing, China, and these companies are diversifying their investments on other energy sources, as well. Third, if there is going to be a public investment into hydrogen, then it should be used to leverage private investment. I would urge the General Assembly to reject this funding and develop a more conservative approach to financing these types of research.

For the reasons detailed above, I am compelled to veto the above line items in S. 656, R-172.

SECTION   7.   A.   Chapter 104, Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 59-104-25.   (A)   A resident student who is at least a sophomore attending a four-year public or private institution of higher learning in this State, who is majoring in science or mathematics as defined below, and who is receiving a Palmetto Fellows Scholarship for the current year, shall receive an additional Palmetto Fellows Scholarship stipend equal to the cost of attendance after applying all other scholarships or grants, not to exceed three thousand three hundred dollars each year for no more than three additional years of instruction, including his sophomore year, if the student enrolled in a four-year degree program, or for not more than four additional years of instruction, including his sophomore year, if enrolled in a five-year degree program or a 3 plus 2 program. A year is defined as thirty credit hours of instruction or its equivalent each year. To receive the additional Palmetto Fellows Scholarship stipend each year, the student must receive the underlying Palmetto Fellows Scholarship for that year and must be making acceptable progress each year toward receiving a degree in his science or mathematics major. In addition, during his


Printed Page 4031 . . . . . Friday, June 29, 2007

freshman year, the student must have successfully completed a total of at least fourteen credit hours of instruction in mathematics and life and physical science courses with a minimum of six hours in mathematics and a minimum of six hours in life and physical science including one laboratory course. For purposes of meeting the required minimum level of instruction in mathematics and life and physical science courses during a student's freshman year, advanced placement courses in mathematics and life and physical sciences taken in high school on which the student scored high enough on the advanced placement test to receive credit at his institution and for which he received credit, count toward the fulfillment of this minimum requirement.

(B)   The Commission on Higher Education by regulation shall define what constitutes a science or mathematics major but at a minimum shall include majors in science or mathematics disciplines, computer science or informational technology, engineering, science education, math education, and health care and related disciplines including medicine and dentistry; provided, that nothing herein prevents a student from changing majors within acceptable science or mathematics disciplines. Additionally, the Commission on Higher Education annually shall communicate with high school guidance counselors regarding the list of qualifying majors.

(C)   If the additional Palmetto Fellows Scholarship stipend is lost, it may be regained in the same manner the underlying Palmetto Fellows Scholarship is regained if lost.

(D)   In addition, the amount of the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship for a recipient who does not receive the enhanced stipend provided by this section, beginning with the 2007 academic year, shall be increased to an amount equal to that received by a LIFE Scholarship recipient also receiving the enhanced stipend provided by Section 59-149-15."

B.   Chapter 149, Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 59-149-15.   (A)   A resident student who is at least a sophomore attending a four-year public or private institution of higher learning in this State, who is majoring in science or mathematics as defined below, and who is receiving a LIFE Scholarship for the current year, shall receive an additional LIFE Scholarship stipend equal to the cost of attendance after applying all other scholarships or grants, not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars each year for no more than three additional years of instruction, including his sophomore year, if enrolled in a four-year degree program, or for not more than four additional years of instruction, including his sophomore year, if enrolled in a five-year degree program or a 3 plus 2 program.

(C)   If the additional LIFE Scholarship stipend is lost, it may be regained in the same manner the underlying LIFE Scholarship is regained if lost."

C.   Section 59-150-370 (A) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 59-150-370.   (A)   SC HOPE Scholarships are hereby established and are provided by the State. These scholarships are authorized in an amount of up to two thousand five hundred dollars, plus a three hundred dollar book allowance to cover the cost of attendance, as defined by the Commission on Higher Education by regulation, during the first year of attendance only, to an eligible student attending a four-year public or independent institution as defined in subsection (B) who does not also qualify for a LIFE Scholarship or a Palmetto Fellows Scholarship."

D.   This section takes effect upon approval by the Governor, and applies beginning with the academic year beginning in the fall of 2007.

Statement by Senator RYBERG

I have voted to sustain the vetoes of the various competitive grants programs (Vetoes 145, 195, 212, 236) because of the lack of any objective criteria for awarding the grants. Until these programs are truly competitive, I cannot support them.

Statement by Senator RYBERG

I voted to sustain the Governor's vetoes on Part IB, Section 73 provisos because these are local projects and not a statewide obligation. I do not believe the taxpayers of South Carolina should be responsible for funding local projects that benefit only a few people at the expense of all the people.
