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 1 Kings 8:22-23: "Then Solomon said, O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart."
Let us pray. O Lord God, we give You thanks for bringing these people together as one body to do the work of the people. Continue to be their guide and bless them in their endeavors. Give them wisdom in making decisions and lead them to do the right thing. Bless our Nation, State, and all who lead us. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of Thursday, June 6, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

Rep. CLYBURN moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Officer Sonny Ford of Aiken, which was agreed to.

The House stood in silent prayer today, the anniversary of the tragic Charleston fire that killed nine firefighters and in sympathy for their families.

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that W. Cothran "Cot" Campbell, president of Dogwood Stable, took home first-place honors at the 145th running of the one-million-dollar Belmont Stakes (G-1), as a result of the outstanding performance of Dogwood Stable's champion horse, Palace Malice; and

Whereas, held at New York's Belmont Park on Saturday, June 8, 2013, the Belmont Stakes once again proved itself worthy of its reputation as the third and final jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown; and

Whereas, the fourteen-horse field, the largest since 1996, got off to an even start. In a truly magnificent performance, Palace Malice, fifth in the early part of the race, was third after a mile, just three lengths off the lead. He came up alongside Oxbow at the top of the stretch and then surged to the front, headed to a convincing 3¼-length victory; and

Whereas, Palace Malice's Belmont Stakes victory showcased the colt's inherent heart and intrepidity as he demonstrated a champion's spirit and desire to win in the 1½-mile race. The three-year-old bay colt, conditioned by the nation's leading trainer, Todd Pletcher, and ridden to perfection by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, captured the imagination of the nation; and

Whereas, after the win, Cot and his supportive wife of many years, Anne, enjoyed an outpouring of support, congratulations, and appreciation from people all over the nation and beyond, and Aiken fans rejoiced in leading the way in the South Carolina celebration. On arriving at the airport after Palace Malice's victory, the Campbells found it decorated, with people dancing in the street, and they reached home to be greeted by a gigantic crowd and festoons of green and yellow, Dogwood Stable's colors; and

Whereas, on the following Monday, the Aiken Rotary Club filled Newberry Hall with green and yellow balloons and displayed a delicious green and yellow cake to recognize the win. As a member of the Rotary Club, Cot Campbell, an energetic octogenarian, walked in with wife Anne to a congratulatory standing ovation; and

Whereas, as for the equine hero of the hour, Palace Malice is readying himself for the next challenge, the Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga on July 27, 2013; and

Whereas, grateful for the pride and recognition Palace Malice has brought to South Carolina, the General Assembly takes great pleasure in applauding this superb horse and his owners for their recent victory at the Belmont Stakes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate W. Cothran "Cot" Campbell, president of Aiken's Dogwood Stable, on the impressive first-place win of Palace Malice, "Aiken's horse" and the pride of Dogwood Stable, in the 145th running of the prestigious Belmont Stakes.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Cot and Anne Campbell.

The Concurrent Resolution was agreed to and ordered sent to the Senate.

The Senate sent to the House the following:

The following was received:

June 17, 2013
The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
506 Blatt Building
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:

I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval R. 94, H. 3342 which requires solicitors to post notice of a proposed bench warrant at a courthouse and on the website of the solicitor forty­ eight hours before the issuance of the warrant.

I am vetoing this bill for two reasons. First, both solicitors and sheriffs, including Christina Adams, President of the Solicitor's Association of South Carolina, and Jeffrey Moore, Executive Director of the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association, are opposed to this bill becoming law. Not only does this legislation put undue burden on local governments, but it potentially puts the people of South Carolina at risk by creating large time delays in bench warrants being served, particularly in rural areas across the state. In addition, it would only serve to further complicate our state's already overburdened judicial system with additional legal requirements, unnecessary paperwork, and untold hours in courthouse staff time and energy.

Second, the very essence of this bill strikes at the heart of the personal responsibility that our judicial system seeks to impart on those called before judges and courts throughout South Carolina. The proper role of the courts is deciding whether laws have been broken, not working to assume the responsibility for the actions of defendants. If a person is intent on avoiding their court appearance there is little the State can do to prevent it beforehand and it is then the legal right of the court to issue a bench warrant to force the matter.

All defendants have the right, both legally and morally, to timely and efficient notification of their court appearance date, time, and location and that is exactly what our current system provides. In addition, defendants or their representatives have the ability to contact local clerk offices to obtain or clarify any of this information. This is more than sufficient notice and going any farther would only serve to place the burden of responsibility on the courts instead of the defendant- where it rightfully belongs.

Any argument to be made for providing advanced warning of the issuance of bench warrants ultimately fails in comparison to the idea that the courts need to hold individuals responsible for their own

actions and that those inclined to avoid court appearances will not likely be dissuaded by posting information on the internet.

For these reasons, I am vetoing R. 94, H. 3342.

Sincerely,
Nikki R. Haley
Governor

The Honorable Robert W. Harrell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
506 Blatt Building
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Dear Speaker Harrell,

I am vetoing and returning without my approval, R. 72, H.3907 which purports to expand the methods of payment that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may accept. I am vetoing this bill because DMV is not currently prohibited from accepting varied forms of payment, and also it currently is authorized to take action to recover funds from those who have outstanding obligations to the agency.

The bill begins by establishing Section 56-1-1210 to allow DMV, in its discretion, to accept uncertified checks. Section 56-3-860 already provides DMV with authority to accept this form of payment for various purposes. Additionally, there is no statutory prohibition that bars DMV from accepting uncertified checks for any of the services it offers; in fact, the agency has accepted them for years. This new section is therefore unnecessary.

Also, a new Section 56-1-1220 would permit DMV to deny service to customers with outstanding debts to the agency. Under Section 56-1-285, DMV is already empowered to revoke licenses or to refuse to renew them. Additionally, since 1995, the Setoff Debt Collection Act (Chapter 56, Title 12) has provided state agencies with the means to recover debts such as these, by intercepting refunds that would otherwise be distributed by the Department of Revenue. Instead of creating a new, single-agency process, I have directed DMV to begin participating in this existing program.

Since the aforementioned provisions of this bill are not ultimately necessary, the only other significant text within this bill is Section 56-1-1230, which imposes a new processing fee on those who use credit cards to make payment to DMV. I believe the Department has sufficient resources at its disposal to allow it to continue to fulfill its mission without burdening drivers with another fee.

For these reasons, I am vetoing and returning without my approval R. 72, H.3907.

My very best,
Nikki R. Haley
Governor

So, the motion to resolve the Committee of Conference into a Committee of Free Conference was agreed to.

The Committee of Conference was thereby resolved into a Committee of Free Conference. The SPEAKER appointed Reps.

OWENS, DANING and R. L. BROWN to the Committee of Free Conference and a message was ordered sent to the Senate accordingly.

H. 3360 was amended to include the ability to bond $500 million for road repair. Due to the lack of sufficient time to understand the ramifications of how the debt would be spent and the need to develop a comprehensive funding plan to meet our infrastructure needs beyond issuing debt, I abstained from voting to grant free conference powers.

Rep. Tommy Stringer

The COMMITTEE OF FREE CONFERENCE, to whom was referred (Doc. No. H:\LEGWORK\CONFREPORTS\NL\ 3360C001.NL. DG13.DOCX):

H. 3360 (Word version) -- Reps. Owens, Daning, Hiott, Skelton, Simrill, Anthony, Bedingfield, Clemmons, Delleney, Hardwick, Henderson, Hixon, Limehouse, Nanney, Ott, Pope, G.R. Smith, J.E. Smith, Sottile, Stringer, Tallon, Taylor and Bales: A BILL TO AMEND SECTIONS 57-5-10, 57-5-70, AND 57-5-80, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE COMPOSITION OF THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM, ADDITIONS TO THE STATE HIGHWAY SECONDARY SYSTEM, AND THE DELETION AND REMOVAL OF ROADS FROM THE STATE HIGHWAY SECONDARY SYSTEM, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT ALL HIGHWAYS WITHIN THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STANDARDS, TO PROVIDE THE FUNDING SOURCES THAT THE DEPARTMENT USES TO CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN THESE HIGHWAYS, TO REVISE THE PROCEDURE AND WHEREBY ENTITIES TO WHICH THE DEPARTMENT MAY TRANSFER ROADS WITHIN THE STATE HIGHWAY SECONDARY SYSTEM; AND TO REVISE THE PROCEDURE WHEREBY THE DEPARTMENT MAY ADD A

ROAD FROM THE COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL ROAD TO THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM; AND TO REPEAL SECTION 57-5-90 RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF BELT LINES AND SPURS.

Beg leave to report that they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend:

That the same do pass with the following amendments: (Reference is to Printer's Version 6/5/13-S.)

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:

/   SECTION   1.   Section 57-5-10 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 57-5-10.   The state highway system shall consist of a statewide system of connecting highways which that shall be constructed by to the Department of Transportation Transportation's standards and which that shall be maintained by the department in a safe and serviceable condition as state highways. The department may utilize funding sources including, but not limited to, the State Nonfederal Aid Highway Fund and the State Highway Fund as established by Section 57-11-20 in carrying out the provisions of this section. The complete state highway system shall mean the system of state highways as now constituted, consisting of the roads, streets, and highways heretofore designated as state highways or designated for construction or maintenance by the department pursuant to law, together with the roads, streets, and highways heretofore added to the state highway system by the Commission of the Department of Transportation, and such the roads, streets, and highways as that may hereafter be added to the system pursuant to law. Roads and highways in the state highway system are classified into three classifications:

(1)   interstate system of highways;

(2)   state highway primary system; and

(3)   state highway secondary system."

SECTION   2.   Section 57-5-70 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 57-5-70.   The department shall take over and accept as a part of the state highway secondary system the roads remaining in the various county road systems which have been maintained by the respective counties, or so much mileage thereof as the availability of funds for construction of secondary state highways in a county may justify; provided, that municipal streets which are extensions of state highways may be added to the state highway secondary system in lieu

of an equal mileage of county roads. The roads to be placed in the state highway system hereunder shall be selected by the department. Maintenance jurisdiction by the department of roads added to the state highway secondary system pursuant to the provisions of this section shall not commence until construction to state highway standards shall have started. A county or municipality and the department may by mutual consent agree to transfer a road from the county or municipal road system to the state highway system. The transfer may be of the road 'as is', without further improvement to the road or upon such terms and conditions as the parties mutually agree. Notification of the transfer must be given to the county's legislative delegation. If the department determines that a road in the county or municipal road system is necessary for the interconnectivity of the state highway system, and the municipality or county does not consent to the transfer, the department may initiate a condemnation action to acquire the road, or a portion of it, and the county or municipality is not required to make any further improvements to it."

SECTION   3.   Section 57-5-80 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 57-5-80.   The department may delete and remove from the state highway secondary system of roads in any county any roads which are of low traffic importance and substitute therefor an equal, or less, mileage of other roads of higher traffic importance as determined by traffic surveys and estimates. Maintenance responsibility for roads deleted and removed from the state highway secondary system pursuant to the provisions of this section shall transfer from the jurisdiction of the department to the jurisdiction of the county or municipality in which such roads are situated, effective upon notice from the department of official action deleting and removing the roads from the state highway system. The department may transfer from the state highway secondary system any road under its jurisdiction, determined by the department to be of low traffic importance, to one of the parties indicated in this section if mutual consent is reached between the department and the party that the road is being transferred to:

(a)   a county or municipality;

(b)   a school;

(c)   a governmental agency;

(d)   a nongovernmental entity; or

(e)   a person.

In all cases, the county or municipality shall have right of first refusal to accept roads into their maintenance responsibility when roads are considered for transfer from the state highway system to a nongovernmental entity or person and in no case may a state road be transferred to a nongovernmental entity unless all persons and businesses located on that road are in agreement with the transfer. Maintenance responsibility for roads transferred from the state highway system pursuant to the provisions of this section shall transfer from the jurisdiction of the department to the jurisdiction of the county or municipality, school, governmental agency, nongovernmental entity, or person, effective upon notice from the department of official action removing the road from the state highway system. Notification of the transfer must be given to the county's legislative delegation."

SECTION   4.   A.   Article 1, Chapter 43, Title 11 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section   11-43-165.   Each fiscal year, the South Carolina Department of Transportation shall transfer fifty million dollars from non-tax sources to the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank. The department may transfer the total amount in one lump sum or it may transfer the amount quarterly in four equal installments. The general fund revenue appropriated to the department for 'Highway Engineering Permanent Improvements' in the annual general appropriations act is exempt from any across-the-board reductions. The transferred funds must be used solely by the bank to finance bridge replacement, rehabilitation projects, and expansion and improvements to existing mainline interstates. The department shall submit a list of bridge and road projects to the bank for its consideration. Transferred funds may not be used for projects approved by the bank before July 1, 2013. The bank shall submit all projects proposed to be financed by this section to the Joint Bond Review Committee as provided in Section 11-43-180, prior to approving a project for financing."
B.   This section takes effect July 1, 2013. Implementation of Section 11-43-165 is contingent upon fifty million dollars being appropriated to the South Carolina Department of Transportation in the 2013-2014 general appropriations act for the purposes provided for in Section 11-43-165.

SECTION   5.   A.     The General Assembly finds that:

(1)   before a motor vehicle may be licensed and registered by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles for the privilege of

using the public highways of this State, that department either collects or confirms the collection of any applicable sales, use, and casual excise taxes due on the vehicle;

(2)   without the required registration and licensing it is unlawful for a motor vehicle to use the public highways of this State; and

The COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE, to whom was referred (Doc. No. H:\LEGWORK\CONFREPORTS\SWB\3225C001. SWB.CM13.DOCX):

H. 3225 (Word version) -- Reps. J.E. Smith and Jefferson: A BILL TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING ARTICLE 132 TO CHAPTER 3, TITLE 56 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF "SC RIVERKEEPERS" SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES.

Beg leave to report that they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend:

That the same do pass with the following amendments: (Reference is to Printer's Version 06/06/13.)

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:

/   SECTION   1.   Article 134, Chapter 3, Title 56 of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 56 of 2013, is amended to read:

Section 56-3-13410.   (A)   The Department of Motor Vehicles may issue S.C. SC Riverkeepers special license plates to owners of private passenger carrying motor vehicles, as defined in Section 56-3-630, or motorcycles, as defined in Section 56-3-20, registered in their names which shall have a blue background and imprinted on them in white 'S.C. SC Riverkeepers', 'Keep Our Rivers Clean', a crescent moon, and a palmetto tree. The fee for this special license plate is thirty dollars every two years in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fee set forth in Article 5, Chapter 3, Title 56; provided, however, that the fee is twenty-five dollars for a person holding a valid commercial driver's license in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fee. This special license plate must be of the same size and general design of regular motor vehicle license plates. This special license plate must be issued or revalidated for a biennial period which expires twenty-four months from the month it is issued.

(B)   The additional fees collected pursuant to this section above the cost of production must be distributed equally to the Congaree Riverkeeper, Charleston Waterkeeper, Waccamaw Riverkeeper, Savannah Riverkeeper, Catawba Riverkeeper, and Santee Riverkeeper organizations.

(C)   The guidelines for the production, collection, and distribution of fees for a special license plate under this section must meet the requirements of Section 56-3-8100."

SECTION 2.   Section 56-1-140(B)(1) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 147 of 2012, is further amended to read:

"(1)   a United States Department of Defense discharge certificate, also known as a DD Form 214, that shows a characterization of service, or discharge status of 'honorable' or 'general under honorable conditions' and establishes the person's qualifying military service in the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard; and"

SECTION   3.   Section 56-1-2080 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 353 of 2008, is further amended by adding at the end:

"(D)(1)   For the purposes of this subsection, 'intrastate commerce' is the transportation of persons or property within the State of South Carolina where both the point of origin and the destination point are within the State and where no state line is crossed. The bill of lading will be conclusive evidence of whether a shipment or commodity is travelling intrastate.

(2)   The department may institute and supervise an Intrastate Vision Waiver Program. Pursuant to the program, the department may waive the vision standards for a commercial driver's license contained in 49 CFR, Part 391.41 (b)(10). A waiver may be granted if the applicant is applying for, or has been issued, a commercial driver's license and will be driving commercially only within the State of South Carolina. The department may only issue a vision waiver if it finds that a waiver would achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved if such waiver were not granted. The department must promulgate regulations to implement the conditions, restrictions, issuance processes, and other matters related to the program.

(3)   To be eligible to receive a waiver, an applicant must:

(a)   not have on his driving record:

(i)     any suspensions, revocations, or cancellations of his driver's license;

(ii)   any involvement in an accident for which he was convicted of a moving violation in any motor vehicle, including a personal vehicle;

(iii)   any convictions of a disqualifying offense, as defined in 49 CFR 383.51(b)(2);

(iv)   more than one serious traffic violation, as defined by 49 CFR, Part 385.5, while driving a commercial motor vehicle that disqualifies the applicant in accordance with the driver disqualification provisions of 49 CFR 383.51; and

(v)   more than two convictions for any moving violations; and

(b)   meet all other physical requirements set forth in 49 CFR, Part 391.41.

(4)   The department may issue a waiver from the department if:

(a)   the applicant:

(i)     has 20/40 or better distant visual acuity with corrective lenses in the better eye and has a binocular horizontal visual field

diameter of not less than one hundred twenty (120) degrees and a vertical field of not less than eighty (80) degrees without the use of visual field expanders. If the applicant is monocular, the horizontal visual field may not be less than seventy (70) degrees temporally and thirty-five (35) degrees nasally; or

(ii)   has vision that is uncorrectable in one eye and the applicant does not wear corrective lenses, then uncorrected vision must be at least 20/25 in the better eye;

(iii)   has the ability to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing standard red, green, and amber; and

(iv)   has a medical certificate required under Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 391.43; and

(b)   the applicant meets the same requirements for interstate driving, except that:

(i)     the applicant must have held a driver's license for the previous seven years and must have held a commercial driver's license with a classification A, B, or C, or was similarly licensed in 'Excepted Interstate' commerce, during the previous two years; and

(ii)   the applicant must present the form specified by the department, signed by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist licensed in the State of South Carolina, in lieu of meeting the vision requirements of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 391.41, and must present a Medical Examination Report in which the medical safety officer has certified that he has found the applicant to be qualified under Part 391.41 in all other physical requirements set forth in 49 CFR, Part 391.41 and mark the medical certificate 'Qualifies for Vision Waiver' if the applicant meets the tolerance allowances for a waiver.

(5)   If the waiver application is denied and the applicant currently holds a commercial driver's license, the commercial driver's license will be cancelled and the commercial driver's license must be surrendered to the department.

(6)   Waiver certificates are valid for a period not to exceed two years after the date of the applicant's medical examiner's physical examination.

(7)   Waivers shall not be issued for passenger endorsement vehicles, school bus operation, or for vehicles transporting hazardous materials requiring placarding under 49 CFR, Part 172, subpart F.

(8)   All recipients of a waiver will be required to have a license with the appropriate 'CDL' restriction.

(9)(a)   Applications for the renewal of the vision waiver endorsement will be granted, provided that:

(i)     the applicant's driving history continues to meet the requirements contained in this subsection; and

(ii)   the applicant continues to meet the vision standards contained in this subsection and all other requirements of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 391.41.

(b)   If the holder of a South Carolina intrastate vision waiver fails to renew the waiver, the driver will be notified in writing by the department of this requirement via the most recent address on file. Failure to comply within a sixty-day period will result in the cancellation of their commercial driver's license and it must be surrendered to the department.

(10)   A person who does not qualify to drive in interstate commerce may still qualify to drive in intrastate commerce. In such cases the driver's commercial driver's license will contain a restriction that will indicate that the holder of the license is restricted to travel in intrastate commerce only.

(11)   The department must promulgate regulations to implement the conditions, restrictions, and issuance processes and other matters related to the Intrastate Vision Waiver Program."

SECTION   4.   This act takes effect six months after approval by the Governor. /
