The House assembled at 9:30 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from I Samuel 16:7: "Mortals look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."
Let us pray. Gracious God, enable us to see each other with Your clear vision, Your deep insight. Help these Representatives and staff as they continue work on the budget. Give them faith and hope in working together to accomplish the task at hand. Bless those who are our leaders in Country and State. Give strength to our Speaker as he leads these Sessions. 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 who have suffered and sacrificed for our freedom. 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.

/ (BOR: Governance) (A) In order to foster the development of a coordinated system of higher education, to improve the quality of education, to extend its benefits, and to encourage an economical use of the state's resources, in the current fiscal year, the South Carolina system of higher education is redefined in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
(B) As used in this paragraph, unless the context clearly requires otherwise:
(1) 'Board' means the South Carolina College and University Board of Regents.
(2) 'Board of Trustees' means the board of trustees or governing board or commission of a constituent institution.
(3) 'Constituent institution' or 'institution' means any state-supported, public, post-secondary institutions of higher learning, excluding technical and comprehensive educational institutions.
(C) For the current fiscal year, there is created a 'South Carolina College and University Board of Regents', which is known as the 'State Board of Regents' and which is a body corporate and politic and which by that name has the power to:
(1) have perpetual succession;
(2) sue and be sued in the corporate name;
(3) have a common seal and to alter it at pleasure;
(4) make contracts and to have, to hold, to purchase, and to lease real estate and personal property for corporate purposes, and to sell and dispose of personal property and buildings that are considered by it as surplus property or not further needed and buildings that it may need to dispose of for the purpose of making room for other construction. However, the board does not have the power to sell or otherwise dispose of real estate, other than buildings, except with the consent of the General Assembly;
(5) elect from its membership a chairman, vice chairman, and secretary of the board to serve until their successors have been elected and qualify;
(6) take, demand, receive, and possess monies, goods, and chattels that may be given for the use of a constituent institution and to apply the same according to the will of the donors;
(7) receive, possess, enjoy, and retain forever by gift, purchase, or devise real and personal estate and funds of any kind, nature, or quality in special trust and confidence that the same, or the profits from them, must be applied to and for the use and purpose of establishing and endowing the constituent institutions;
(8) do all things which usually are done by bodies corporate and politic or anything necessary for the promotion of learning and virtue.
(D)(1) The Board of Regents is composed of fifteen members. Two members must be elected by the General Assembly from each congressional district with no two members from a congressional district being from the same county. These members must be elected for terms prescribed by the General Assembly. The election must be held at a time prescribed by the General Assembly.
One member must be appointed by the Governor. Vacancies in all seats must be filled by election or appointment in the same manner of original election or appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term.
(2) Neither a person elected or appointed to the board nor a member of his immediate family may be employed by or be a member of the governing body of a constituent institution for a period of five years immediately preceding his election or appointment to the Board of Regents.
(E) A member of the board must be chosen for his interest in, and his ability to contribute to the fulfillment of, the purposes of the board. Each member is charged with the responsibility of serving the best
interests of the State. In selecting members, the objective must be to obtain the services of the best qualified citizens of the State, taking into consideration the need for representation on the board by the different races, sexes, and political parties.
(F) A member of the board shall receive mileage, subsistence, and per diem as is allowed for members of state boards, committees, and commissions.
(G) The board shall meet at stated times established by the board, but not less frequently than six times in the current fiscal year. A quorum for the conduct of business consists of a majority of the members.
(H) The board has the power to appoint from its membership committees which are clothed with any the board may confer which are consistent with law. No committee may reverse a decision concerning a policy taken by the board at a regular meeting.
(I) In performing its functions, duties, and responsibilities:
(1) The board shall plan and develop a coordinated system of higher education in South Carolina. The board shall govern the constituent institutions, subject to the powers, duties, and responsibilities granted in this paragraph to the boards of trustees of the institutions, and the board shall maintain close liaison with the constituent institutions, the State Board of Education, and other committees, boards, commissions, or agencies which serve the purpose of fostering education in South Carolina. The board, in consultation with representatives of the private colleges and universities of this State, shall prepare and revise a long-range plan for a coordinated system of higher education, supplying copies of the plan to the Governor, the members of the General Assembly, the members of the State Budget and Control Board, and the constituent institutions.
(2) The board is responsible for the general determination, control, supervision, management, and governance of all affairs of the constituent institutions. For this purpose, the board may adopt and promulgate policies and regulations it considers wise.
(3) The board shall determine the functions, educational activities, and academic programs of the constituent institutions. The board also shall determine the types of degrees to be awarded by the constituent institutions. The powers granted in this paragraph to the board are not restricted by any provision of law assigning specific functions, duties, or responsibilities to designated institutions, and the powers granted in this paragraph to the board are superior to the provision. After adequate notice and after giving the board of trustees or a governing body of a constituent institution an opportunity to be
heard, the board is authorized to withdraw approval of an existing program if it appears that the program is unproductive, excessively costly, or unnecessarily duplicative.
(4) The board shall approve the establishment of a new publicly supported institution of higher education.
(5) The board shall set tuition and required fees at the institutions not inconsistent with any action of the General Assembly.
(6) The board shall set enrollment levels at the constituent institutions.
(7) The board shall develop, prepare, and present to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the State Fiscal Accountability Authority a budget for each constituent institution. In preparing this budget, the board shall consult specifically with the constituent institution involved.
(8) The board shall render advice and make recommendations concerning education to the Governor and General Assembly if requested by the Governor or the General Assembly.
(J) Property, rights, and privileges held by the boards of trustees or governing bodies of the constituent institutions as the property, rights, and privileges may exist on July first of the current fiscal year are transferred to and assumed by the board immediately. Property, real or personal or mixed, held on July first of the current fiscal year by a board of trustees of a constituent institution for the benefit of that institution must be kept separate and distinct from other properties held by the board, must continue to be held for the benefit of the institution that was previously the beneficiary, and must continue to be held subject to the provisions of the respective instruments, grants, or other means of process by which any property was acquired. Nothing contained in this paragraph increases or diminishes the income, other revenue, or specific property which is pledged or otherwise hypothecated for the security or liquidation of an obligation. The board shall assume the obligations without either enlarging or diminishing the rights of the holders of the obligations.
(K) Pursuant to this paragraph, each board of trustees or governing body of a constituent institution has the powers and duties to:
(1) promote the sound development of the institution within the functions prescribed for it, helping it to serve the State in a way that will complement the activities of the other constituent institutions and aiding it to perform at a high level of excellence in every area of endeavor;
(2) serve as advisor to the Board of Regents on matters pertaining to the institution;
(3) appoint a chairman of the board of trustees or governing body and other officers necessary to assist the members of the board of trustees or governing body in their duties;
(4) appoint, with the advice and consent of the Board of Regents, a college president, treasurer, and secretary and, with the advice and consent of the Board of Regents, to prescribe their duties and terms of office;
(5) make bylaws and regulations for the management of its institution's affairs and operations not inconsistent with policies of the Board of Regents or with any provision of law. Bylaws and regulations must be approved by the Board of Regents before becoming effective;
(6) confer degrees upon students and other persons who meet the standards set by the Board of Regents;
(7) perform other functions delegated to it by the Board of Regents, which functions may not be inconsistent with law;
(8) perform functions enumerated in the statutes governing the board of trustees' or governing body's existence, as long as the function has not been granted to the Board of Regents by this paragraph.
(L) To the extent that a regulation or other provision of law is inconsistent with this paragraph or confers powers on other bodies inconsistent with the powers conferred on the Board of Regents, the provisions of this paragraph prevail and apply.

/ 19.3 SCSU: Interim Governing Authority and Control) (A) The South Carolina General Assembly finds:
(1) the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina recognize the rich and diverse history of South Carolina State University founded in 1896 in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and the significant contribution that the university has made to the higher education community as well as its current students and alumni;
(2) South Carolina State University is currently experiencing student enrollment revenues that are insufficient to cover existing expenditure obligations, such that the General Assembly finds it necessary to shepherd the institution through this temporary period to restore it to the viable institution it has been in the past and, in order to preserve the long and distinguished history of South Carolina State University, the General Assembly finds it necessary to take temporary corrective action;
(3) with new, experienced management and the proper support and encouragement from the State, South Carolina State University should once again thrive as the State's only state-supported historically black university and continue to graduate distinguished alumni who will represent the university with pride and serve as the state's future professionals and leaders; and
(4) the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has expressed concerns regarding governing board conflicts of interests and board/administration structure as well as financial stability and controls of South Carolina State University and the General Assembly recognizes
that maintaining accreditation by the Southern Association of colleges and schools is of great importance. In addition, the General Assembly recognizes and acknowledges the need to follow up on this temporary action that is so critical at this juncture with permanent, statewide legislation to restructure the Board of Trustees and general governance of South Carolina State University with particular emphasis on maintaining the institutional knowledge of members of the Board of Trustees going forward and staggering terms of newly appointed Board of Trustees members to maintain that essential consistency in the university's governance as it seeks to accomplish its important educational mission.
(B)(1) The members of the Board of Trustees of South Carolina State University serving on the effective date of this act are hereby removed from their positions, powers, and duties. Upon the effective date of this act, an Interim Board of Trustees is hereby created and shall be composed of the designees of the five members of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority who shall serve ex officio and at the pleasure of the appropriate appointing member of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority. The Interim Board of Trustees must be appointed upon the effective date of this resolution. The duties and powers of the former board are hereby transferred to the interim board of trustees. The interim board of trustees is directed to remove the president of South Carolina State University serving on the effective date of this act, if it is determined that would be in the best interest of the university, and is directed to employ an interim president who shall be employed on an at-will basis.
(2) The interim president, whose actions must be overseen by the Interim Board of Trustees, shall review both the educational accreditation of the university and the past and current financial situation of the university and make recommendations to the Interim Board of Trustees, to the State Fiscal Accountability Authority, to the General Assembly, and to the Executive Budget Office regarding the path that the university must pursue in order to lead the university out of the current financial crisis with an emphasis on having the university return to the valuable and functional institution of higher learning that it has been in the past.
(3) The Interim Board of Trustees and the interim president shall carry out the appropriate responsibilities concerning all daily operations of South Carolina State University including, but not limited to, the expenditure of funds necessary for the university's daily operations.
(4) The Interim Board of Trustees shall serve in their respective capacities until the election of new members of the Board of Trustees for South Carolina State University by the General Assembly pursuant to Chapter 127, Title 59, and such election must include a restructured Board of Trustees including, but not limited to, the members of the Interim Board of Trustees to serve staggered terms.
(5) The Interim Board of Trustees shall be indemnified in the same manner as members of the Retirement System Investment Commission, mutatis mutandis. /
