The House assembled at 1:00 p.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 115:12: "The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us."
Let us pray. Most Holy God, make us to know Your great love and compassion for us and send Your guardian angels to guide and keep these Representatives and staff in Your care, that they will be discerning while doing the work of the people. Bless those who lead us in this Assembly, our State and Nation. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Touch our wounded warriors and heal them. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.

The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval H. 3975 (Word version), R. 337, which exempts certain military personnel from the state's hunter's education requirements and creates a lifetime non-resident hunting license.
This Bill contains two sections. The first section exempts military personnel who have received rifle marksmanship training during their military career from having to complete the state's hunter's education training. We are not concerned with the first section of H. 3975 because we believe that the military's marksmanship training is sufficiently similar to the state's training classes - in fact it is far superior.
Instead, our concern with H. 3975 centers on the bill's second section that was added in the Senate, which creates a special, lifetime hunting license for qualifying nonresident hunters. Anyone who is not a resident of South Carolina may obtain an annual hunting license from the Department of Natural Resources for a fee of $125. However, the law allows only South Carolina residents to obtain lifetime licenses. H. 3975 changes this framework by allowing certain nonresidents to obtain a lifetime license, but the qualifications for obtaining the license are so irregular that we cannot believe this section was drafted in response to broad concerns of people in or outside the State.
In order for a nonresident to obtain the lifetime license anticipated in this Bill, he or she must satisfy the normal licensure requirements, must have been born in South Carolina, and must have owned real estate in South Carolina for at least five years prior to applying for the license. Additionally, H. 3975 makes the license available only from July 1, 2010, through September 30, 2010. Our understanding is that
the bizarre combination of the birthplace and property-ownership requirements and the unusual application period was drafted, not because it represents a good policy, but because one senator is trying to do a favor for one of his out-of-state friends. We believe this kind of favoritism is an abuse of the legislative power, and we simply cannot support this Bill.
For the reasons stated above, I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval H. 3975, R. 337.
Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor

The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval H. 3541 (Word version), R. 346, which creates a new bear tag that hunters must purchase in order to hunt bear. This Bill also allows bear hunting in Game Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and revises the open season for deer in Game Zone 1. Because this Bill increases the bear hunting fee and the administrative burden associated with hunting licenses, we are vetoing this legislation.
Throughout this administration, we have supported the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the valuable work that DNR's employees and law enforcement officers do to serve the citizens of South Carolina. Although we recognize that administering the state's hunting regulations involves significant expense, we are vetoing H. 3541 because of the new fee increases imposed on hunters.
Currently, licensed hunters who want to hunt bears are required to buy a $12 hunting license and a $6 big game permit. H. 3541 creates a new requirement that, in addition to the hunting license and big game permit, hunters must also purchase a bear tag for $25 ($100 for non-South Carolina residents). Finally, this Bill requires hunters who want to hunt bears in Game Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to participate in a bear tag lottery, which will cost another $10.
We appreciate that this bill's fee increase is intended to support the state's wildlife management efforts, and the bear population in particular. Although we recognize the state's role in preserving wildlife populations, we do not think this program should be funded by
increased fees. As we stated in response to other fee increase proposals, we do not believe it is wise to effectively raise taxes and fees to cover budget shortfalls for core government services. At the start of the next legislative session, policymakers will begin crafting a "stimulus free" budget that is more than $1 billion less than the proposed budget for FY 2011. We simply cannot sustain the state's budget on fee increases. Additionally, even if DNR sold 300 bear tags, the agency would raise only $7,500 - far short of the amount needed to administer this program. We recommend that DNR reallocate its existing funding to support this program instead of increasing hunting license fees.
For these reasons, I am vetoing and returning without my approval H. 3541, R. 346.
Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor

The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:
June 11, 2010
The Honorable André Bauer
President of the Senate
State House, First Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval S. 288 (Word version), R. 296, which requires individuals convicted of a violent crime to surrender their drivers' licenses and requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue them new licenses that carry a symbol or code identifying the individuals as violent offenders.
We struggled with this Bill in looking at ways to balance the bill's intent in attempting to protect our state's law enforcement officers with civil liberty concerns. If this Bill passed, South Carolina would become the first state in the country to have adopted this licensing provision.
Our take-away in analyzing this Bill is not entrenched opposition, but rather is a question of why not wait on moving forward. South Carolina's police officers and highway patrolmen are courageous and encounter potentially deadly situations every time they make a traffic stop. In this regard, we applaud S. 288's supporters for trying to make them safer when doing their jobs. Nevertheless, we are compelled to veto this Bill along the same rationale used in our opposition to warrantless searches because of the additional administrative costs imposed and privacy concerns.
First, S. 288 will impose additional administrative costs on DMV and the court system in a year in which their budgets are severely strained. Given that we would be first in the nation to pass this measure, it may be prudent to indeed wait and let this financial storm pass before moving forward. Under this Bill, when a person is convicted of a violent crime, the court must notify DMV of the conviction, and DMV is required to notify the offender that he must surrender his license. If the offender surrenders the license, then DMV must issue a special identification card that contains an affixed symbol or code that identifies the licensee as a violent offender. These administrative tasks will require man-hours from court and DMV employees, and DMV will have to spend an additional $25,000 to implement this new system through new training, license applications, and IT systems. In most cases, though, the offenders will likely be serving time and will fail to surrender their licenses because they will not receive the notice. This will result in an inadvertent suspension of the offenders' licenses. If the offenders later choose to reapply for a license, then they will encounter new administrative hurdles. If the offenders fail to reapply, they will be less likely to get a job due to lack of transportation or be more likely to reoffend by driving without a license. None of these scenarios will benefit the state or the offenders affected by this Bill.
Second, S. 288 invades the privacy interests of offenders who have paid their debt to society and who are free to drive regardless of their past offenses. If drivers' licenses were used only to drive, we would support this Bill. However, drivers' licenses are used routinely as identification to buy goods, procure utility and other services, vote, cash checks, and obtain credit, among many other things. The parties on the other sides of these transactions have no compelling reason to know a person's criminal history after they have completed their sentence. Affixing a symbol that brands these individuals as violent criminals will only hinder their reintegration into free society. One of
the key ideas behind the sentencing reform measure passed this year was that we needed to recognize that nearly every criminal who does wrong to an individual, and society at large, indeed reenters society. In this regard, once a sentence has been served we should look for ways to make this reintegration easier, not harder. We should leave room for repentance, redemption, hope, faith and growth as the individual may have changed in meaningful ways since they did wrong. For this reason, we would encourage a clearer path to phasing out what could become a de facto "V" for violence symbol on one's driver's license.
Third, we do not believe that affixing a symbol or code to a driver's license that identifies an individual as a violent criminal will make our law enforcement officers safer. Law enforcement officers are trained to know that they may be approaching a dangerous person each time they make a stop, and they should always be prepared to handle a potentially violent encounter regardless of whether a suspect or traffic violator has a criminal history. Merely affixing a symbol to a driver's license will not prevent a would-be attacker, and law enforcement officers are trained to always take precautions to prevent and respond to attacks that would precede even the chance to see the symbol required under this Bill.
For these reasons, I am vetoing and returning without my approval S. 288, R. 296.
Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor

June 21, 2010
The Honorable André Bauer
President of the Senate
State House, 1st Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29202
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval S. 1372 (Word version), R. 338, which allows the Sumter County School Districts 2 and 17 to issue general obligation bonds to cover operating expenses.
We are sympathetic to the difficulty in which this school district, and others like it, find themselves, but we are compelled to do as we have done in the past and veto this legislation. It breaks a cardinal rule of prudent finance. Bonded indebtedness should not be used by school districts to fund operating expenditures because an absolute rule of sustainable financial management is that you do not fund short-term operations with long-term debt. States like California have attempted to do so and it has come with disastrous consequences.
Doing so in this instance will invite the same consequences over time to our State. For this reason, I am vetoing and returning without my approval S. 1372, R. 338.
Sincerely,
Mark Sanford
Governor
