The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 8:3: "When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers."
Let us pray. Lord, as our creator, You bless us with many things. Make us witnesses to Your power. Create in these Representatives witnesses to the wonderful and creative things You can do through them. Provide for each of us all needful things. Look in favor upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who support these leaders. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds of our brave warriors, those seen and those hidden. Hear our prayer, O Lord. Amen.

Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
The Senate respectfully informs your Honorable Body that it has overridden the Veto by the Governor on R. 57, S. 211, by a vote of 30 to 10:
(R57) S. 211 (Word version) -- Senators Matthews, Land, Leatherman, Leventis, Hutto, Williams, Ford and McGill: AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING CHAPTER 54 TO TITLE 11 SO AS TO ESTABLISH THE "I-95 CORRIDOR AUTHORITY ACT" AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE COMPOSITION, DUTIES, AND POWERS OF THE AUTHORITY.
Very respectfully,
President
The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:
June 7, 2011
The Honorable Ken Ard
President of the Senate
State House, First Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate,
I am vetoing S. 211 (Word version), R. 57, a Bill that creates the "I-95 Corridor Authority" - a new and separate state agency focused solely on the educational and economic development of a region of South Carolina known as the I-95 Corridor.
I am vetoing S. 211, R. 57, because it unnecessarily grows government. By duplicating the efforts of existing state agencies - the South Carolina Department of Commerce, the South Carolina Department of Education, and local school districts, this Bill further dilutes state resources and accountability for education and economic development. While I understand the unique challenges faced by the communities located within this area, I have assurances from Secretary Bobby Hitt that the efforts of the Department of Commerce will be directed at all regions of the State. Further, State Superintendant of Education Mick Zais has committed to making publicly funded education in South Carolina more effective and to driving more resources to the classroom. We must not carve out regions to prioritize over others. Rather, communities should coordinate their efforts with those of the Department of Commerce to ensure statewide economic development.
I encourage local governments and local chambers of commerce to work together in the spirit of cooperation set forth in this Bill, but this cooperation does not require a General Fund appropriation or a new state agency. I am committed to working with leaders across the State to improve the quality of life for all of South Carolina's citizens, including those in the I-95 Corridor; however, I firmly believe that growing state bureaucracy in the manner prescribed in this Bill is not the answer.
For the reasons stated above, I am vetoing S. 211, R. 57.
Sincerely,
Nikki R. Haley
Governor

The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:
June 14, 2011
The Honorable Ken Ard
President of the Senate
State House, First Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate,
I am vetoing S. 588 (Word version), R. 81, a Bill that creates a statewide system for acute stroke management and a process for identifying, classifying, and certifying hospitals as primary stroke centers.
I am vetoing S. 588, R. 81, because this Bill's narrow focus both grows government ineffectively and falls short of providing a comprehensive care network for acute cardiac and vascular emergencies. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) already regulates the capabilities of hospitals and manages programs focused at heart health and stroke prevention. The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) already received funding to encourage rural development of both prevention and acute care treatment.
Therefore, state agencies have existing mechanisms to develop and implement a state plan for acute care and prevention, not just stroke care as this Bill narrowly addresses, and should not need an additional half-million dollars in recurring appropriations to do so.
I am in support of a broad-based seamless emergency response network thoughtfully designed to provide life saving care to victims of stroke, trauma, heart attack, and other time sensitive illnesses. This is especially critical in rural areas where travel distances to trauma and specialty centers are greater. To this end, I am directing the SCDHHS to work closely with stakeholders statewide to review our prevention and treatment systems for time sensitive illnesses to develop an integrated prevention and treatment model.
For the reasons stated above, I am vetoing S. 588, R. 81.
Sincerely,
Nikki R. Haley
Governor
