Help them to understand You have blessed them with the gifts of wisdom, strength, integrity, and caring. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Cause Your face to shine on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who contribute to the success of this Assembly. Bless these women and men as they take on the business of our State. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

The Honorable Charles F. Reid, Clerk
South Carolina House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Mr. Reid:
Enclosed, please find the S.C. Board of Health and Environmental Control's (Department) designation of N-Ethylpentylone and its optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts and salts of isomers in Schedule I of the South Carolina Controlled Substances Act. The Board has taken this action at its meeting on September 27, 2018, pursuant to S.C. Code Section 44-53-160(C), which authorizes the Department to designate a substance as a controlled substance by scheduling it in accordance with an order effecting federal scheduling as a controlled substance.
On August 31, 2018, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration issued a temporary scheduling order to schedule N-Ethylpentylone and its optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts and salts of isomers in Schedule I. Federal Register, Volume 83, Number 170, pp. 44474-44478, https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-08-31/pdf/ 20 1818988.pdf?utm_campaign=subscription%20mail ing %20list&utm_source=federalregister.gov&utm_medium=email
The substances listed in Schedule I are those that have a high potential for abuse, no currently acceptable medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. The DEA conducted its own review and determined that N-Ethylpentylone met the criteria for placement in schedule I of the federal CSA because a review of available data showed they had a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. A lack of accepted safety for use in treatment under medical
supervision and with no legitimate medical use, N-Ethylpentylone has emerged on the illicit drug market and are being misused and abused, which poses significant adverse health risks. N-Ethylpentylone has been associated with numerous adverse health outcomes and fatalities. This substance poses an imminent hazard to the public safety.
The Department makes this notification in accordance with S.C. Code Section 44-53-160(C), requiring that the Department notify the General Assembly in writing of the change in federal law or regulation and of the corresponding change in South Carolina law. Schedule I controlled substances are found in S.C. Code Section 44-53-190.
As required by law, the enclosed Board Order has been posted on the agency website.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Rick Caldwell
Legislative Affairs
WHEREAS, pursuant to S.C. Code Section 44-53-160(C), the South Carolina Board of Health and Environmental Control (Board) is authorized to add a substance as a controlled substance if the Federal government has so designated; and
WHEREAS, on August 31, 2018, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration issued a temporary scheduling order to schedule N-Ethylpentylone and its optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts and salts of isomers in Schedule I.

WHEREAS, substances listed in Schedule I are those that have a high potential for abuse, no currently acceptable medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. The DEA conducted its own review and determined that N-Ethylpentylone met the criteria for placement in schedule I of the federal
CSA because a review of available data showed they had a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use in treatment under medical supervision; and

WHEREAS, N-Ethylpentylone has been associated with numerous adverse health outcomes and fatalities. This substance poses an imminent hazard to the public safety; and
THEREFORE, the Board of Health and Environmental Control adopts the federal scheduling of N-Ethylpentylone by adding and designating into Schedule I of the South Carolina Controlled Substances Act N-Ethylpentylone, its optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts and salts of isomers (Other names: ephylone, 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2- (ethylamino)-pentan-1-one)(7543)).

Very respectfully,
President
The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:
July 3, 2018
The Honorable Kevin L. Bryant 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 R. 291, S. 1043 (Word version), known as the South Carolina Abandoned Buildings and
Revitalization Act. Contrary to the Act's title, it addresses a plethora of subjects, including modifications to tax credits, tax refunds, revenue definitions, and the proper classification of satellite service receipts.
Article III, Section 17 of the South Carolina Constitution provides that "[e]very act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title." S.C. Const. Art. III, Section 17. The "one subject rule," as this constitutional provision is known, exists to ensure that members of the public and the General Assembly are informed of the contents of an act upon reading the title. See S.C. Pub. Serv. Auth. v. Citizens and S. Nat'l Bank of S.C., 300 S.C. 142, 162, 386 S.E.2d 775, 786-87 (1989). The myriad of provisions housed in this Act do not meet the one subject rule, and thus the Act is unconstitutional. See, e.g., Sloan v. Wilkins, 362 S.C. 430, 608 S.E.2d 579 (2005), abrogated on other grounds, Am. Petroleum Inst. v. S.C. Dep't of Revenue, 382 S.C. 572, 677 S.E.2d 16 (2009) (holding unconstitutional an act "teeming with subjects, from life sciences provisions to the establishment of a culinary arts institute.")
For the foregoing reasons, I am respectfully vetoing R. 291, S. 1043 and returning the same without my signature.
Yours very truly,
Henry McMaster
Governor
The Veto on the following Act was taken up:
(R. 291, S. 1043 (Word version)) -- Senators Turner and Talley: AN ACT TO EXTEND THE PROVISIONS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA ABANDONED BUILDINGS REVITALIZATION ACT AS CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 67, TITLE 12 OF THE 1976 CODE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2025; TO AMEND SECTION 12-67-140, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE TAX CREDIT FOR REVITALIZING AN ABANDONED BUILDING, SO AS TO SPECIFY THE MANNER IN WHICH CERTAIN BUILDINGS MAY BE SUBDIVIDED; TO AMEND SECTION 12-65-20, RELATING TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA TEXTILES COMMUNITIES REVITALIZATION ACT, SO AS TO MODIFY CERTAIN DEFINITIONS; TO AMEND SECTION 12-6-50, RELATING TO SECTIONS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SPECIFICALLY NOT ADOPTED BY THIS STATE, SO AS TO

THAT A FAILURE TO TIMELY ISSUE A WRITTEN NOTICE IS CONSIDERED A DENIAL.

Smith Sottile Spires Stavrinakis Stringer Tallon Taylor Thayer Thigpen Trantham Weeks West Wheeler White Whitmire Williams Willis Wooten Young Yow
Those who voted in the negative are:
The Senate Amendments were agreed to, and the Bill having received three readings in both Houses, it was ordered that the title be changed to that of an Act, and that it be enrolled for ratification.
I support conforming SC state tax code wholeheartedly. And while I voted for this today, I wholeheartedly oppose the tax increase on any taxpaying citizen. Furthermore, I feel this version of tax conformity disproportionately and negatively impacts retirees. We should never be put into a box of choosing a lesser tax increase over a much greater tax increase because that is no choice at all.
Rep. Nancy Mace
The SPEAKER ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:
July 5, 2018
The Honorable James H. Lucas
Speaker of the House of Representatives
State House, Second Floor
Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the General Assembly,
I am vetoing and returning without my approval certain line items in R. 293, H. 4950 (Word version), the FY 2018-19 General Appropriations Act.
South Carolina is winning. Since January 2017, we have announced nearly 21,000 jobs and over $6 billion in new capital investment. Our unemployment rate is at its lowest since 2000. And, with more and more companies moving here every month, starting and expanding, we continue to see record numbers of citizens who are gainfully employed and enjoying the new prosperity of the Palmetto State.
In that same timeframe, the General Assembly has done a great deal to address the many pressing issues which confront us. This year, you approved a ballot measure to bring accountability to our education system by making the Superintendent of Education a Cabinet-level position. And you passed an array of anti-opioid bills to combat this epidemic across the spectrum of law enforcement, education, health care, and more.
This budget includes much that will keep South Carolina on the right track, including a number of provisions aligned with proposals from my Executive Budget. I applaud the General Assembly for directing funds to hire more school resource officers to keep our children safe. I thank you for taking steps to protect the rule of law by banning sanctuary cities, and I agree wholeheartedly that consolidating administrative functions for at-risk school districts is an important step toward a shared services model that will allow us to save money and reinvest it into our classrooms. Last, but certainly not least, I commend you for establishing a process to explore the sale of Santee Cooper - the only way to get permanent relief for the ratepayers of South Carolina.
At the same time, this budget takes an unprecedented step away from public transparency and accountability in just one area: higher education.
At first glance, the total amount of state-appropriated funds and "other funds" authorized in this budget bill appears to have been reduced by $2.46 billion from last year's bill. But, upon closer examination, the reason for this reduction becomes clear: $3.45 billion in higher education "other funds" spending authorization has been completely removed from the state budget lines for each of our public universities, colleges, and technical schools and taken offline. In years past, this spending authorization in the budget has allowed the public to see just how much each institution receives and spends from funds generated by tuition, donations, grants, athletic department revenues, housing, and other activities. Removing higher education institutions from the transparency provided by the normal appropriations process, in which every other state agency participates, sends the wrong message to the people of this State who, in truth, are the owners of our public colleges and universities.
As stewards of the public trust, we must always be tireless advocates of government accountability and transparency. The vetoes below reflect these twin responsibilities and specify instances in which the legislature has acted unwisely and hastily with taxpayer dollars by directing public money to private interests or earmarking funds for parochial projects which serve little or no public interest and should be considered locally.
I urge the General Assembly to thoughtfully consider each of these vetoes and promptly sustain them on behalf of the people of this State.

Veto 11 - Part 1B, Page 492, Section 117, General Provisions - Proviso 117.126, GP: North American Wetlands Conservation Act State Match
Each of these provisos has been codified or otherwise addressed by legislation and is no longer necessary.
Veto 12 - Part 1A, Page 9, Section 1, Department of Education, VIII. Education Improvement Act, F. Partnerships, Quaver Music, Total Funds: $100,000
Veto 13 - Part 1B, Page 511, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.15(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 7(b), Department of Archives and History, Charleston Library Society Beaux Arts Building: $250,000
Veto 14 - Part 1B, Page 511, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.15(8), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 8, Arts Commission, SC Children's Theatre: $500,000
These lines would direct public funds to private entities perfectly capable of raising further dollars without taking them from taxpayers.
While their missions may be valuable, South Carolina has well-identified needs which should take precedence.
Veto 15 - Part 1A, Page 103, Section 38, Department of Social Services, I. State Office, E. Program Management, 1. Children's Services, Strengthening Families Program, Total Funds: $700,000, General Funds: $700,000
This is a pass-through which was not requested by the Department of Social Services. Funding for DSS would be better used to protect South Carolina's vulnerable children and adults.
Veto 16 - Part 1B, Page 351, Section 34, Department of Health and Environmental Control - Proviso 34.51, DHEC: Greenwood Sewer Extension Line
Veto 17 - Part 1B, Page 351, Section 34, Department of Health and Environmental Control - Proviso 34.54, DHEC: Alida Street Project
Veto 18 - Part 1B, Page 370, Section 49, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism - Proviso 49.17, PRT: Horry County Museum
Last year, I vetoed these provisos because they revised the terms of earmarked money in past budgets from years ago. The General Assembly overrode these vetoes and yet, inexplicably, these same funds remain in the budget - again - with the associated dollars unspent. These provisos represent "zombie" earmarks that simply will not die. We owe it to the taxpayers of this State to see this money directed toward more meritorious uses without carrying it forward for yet another year.
Veto 19 - Part 1B, Pages 428-429, Section 100, Office of Adjutant General - Proviso 100.21, ADJ: 2017 Hurricane Irma and 2014 Ice Storm FEMA Match
Ensuring that state and local government entities are reimbursed for their FEMA Public Assistance Program expenditures during Hurricane Irma and the 2014 Ice Storm is of vital importance, and I included a proviso in my Executive Budget that would have ensured proper reimbursement. Unfortunately, the proviso included in this budget takes $500,000 in funds the State has set aside for disaster preparedness and gives it out to legislatively selected non-profits for the purpose of
renovating homes damaged during the 2015 flood. Worse, there are no constraints to ensure the funds are only used for low-income families.
Additionally, this funding is duplicative because the South Carolina Disaster Recovery Office is already hard at work renovating homes damaged by the 2015 flood and has received $126 million in federal funds for this purpose.
Veto 20 - Part 1B, Page 421, Section 93, Department of Administration - Proviso 93.28, DOA: OCAB Head Start Program
This line takes money from the Office of Executive Policy and Programs ("OEPP") and earmarks it for a bus purchase. OEPP administers many valuable initiatives, such as the Foster Care Review Board, the Division of Veterans' Affairs, and Guardian Ad Litem programs. These funds are better served where they originated to carry out these programs.
Veto 21 - Part 1B, Page 512, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso l18.15(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 26, Department of Juvenile Justice, Child Advocacy Centers: $170,000
Veto 22 - Part 1A, Page 66, Section 26, Department of Archives & History, III. Historical Services, Historic Buildings Preservation, Total Funds: $200,000, General Funds: $200,000
Veto 23 - Part lB, Page 511, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.l5(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 7(c), Department of Archives and History, Historic Buildings Preservation: $500,000
Veto 24 - Part 1B, Page 512, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.15(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 14, Department of Agriculture, Statewide Agribusiness Infrastructure: $210,000
Veto 25 - Part lB, Page 512, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.15(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item l7(c), Department of Commerce, Economic Development Hubs and Community Development Infrastructure: $1,300,000
Veto 26 - Part 1A, Page 134, Section 49, Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, II. Programs and Services, A. Tourism, Sales & Marketing, Sports Marketing Grant Program, Total Funds: $4,500,000, General Funds: $4,500,000
These lines represent a collection of legislative earmarked appropriations void of necessary transparency. They lack disclosure of explanation, justification, description, purpose, location, or amount. How they further the agency missions is entirely unaddressed, and in most cases my Cabinet agency directors did not request the funds and do not know who inserted the lines in the State Budget or how they are intended to be used. These items should be publicly disclosed and debated through the normal appropriations process and allowed to stand on their own merits, not rolled up into one line and sheltered from scrutiny. A vote to sustain these vetoes is a vote for transparency.
Veto 27 - Part lB, Page 512, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.15(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 17(d), Department of Commerce, LocateSC: $4,000,000
LocateSC is a critical resource for companies looking to come to South Carolina. New business is the central driver of our economic prosperity, and I support every facet of our recruitment and retention apparatus. In its budget request, the Department of Commerce asked for an appropriation of $4 million for LocateSC to satisfy current needs for this valuable mission.
However, this State Budget contains a total of $11 million in new funds for LocateSC - an additional $7 million that they did not request. I am vetoing this proviso containing excess funding because LocateSC has already received $6 million from the Capital Reserve Fund and another $1 million from another section of this budget which I have not vetoed.
Veto 28 - Part lB, Page 271, Section I, Department of Education - Proviso 1.52, SDE: Lee County Bus Shop
For as long as anyone can remember, the General Assembly has included this proviso in the state budget and the governor has vetoed it. Yet, there has not been one shred of proof offered that the superintendent
of education intends to close the Lee County Bus Shop. I ask that you consider this fact and sustain this veto.

Veto 31 - Part 1A, Page 143, Section 53, S.C. Conservation Bank, I. Administration, Other Operating Expenses, Total Funds: $85,335, General Funds: $85,335
Last year, I vetoed a proposal to shutter the state Conservation Bank. I remain committed to my belief that this organization serves a valuable purpose, protecting the natural resources that keep us competitive and contribute mightily to a thriving, $20 billion tourism industry. However, my support for the Bank does not extend indefinitely. Despite shrinking the amount of grants that the agency issues by more than half, this budget grows the operational and staffing budget by almost 100%. The Conservation Bank does not need these funds to effectively accomplish its mission.

The dredging and clearing of our state's navigable waterways is well outside the mission and capability of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. It constitutes a mandate of mission creep.

Veto 34 - Part 1B, Page 511, Section 118, Statewide Revenue - Proviso 118.15(B), SR: Nonrecurring Revenue, Item 4(b), Francis Marion University, Honors College: $2,100,000
This year, the Capital Reserve Fund allocated $49.7 million for capital projects to the state's universities on an equitable and pro-rata basis. This funding represents special treatment above and beyond what was afforded to any other higher education institution.
Veto 35 - Part 1B, Page 453, Section 117, General Provisions - Proviso 117.8(B), GP: State Institutions - Revenues & Income, Subsection (B)
As I stated above, removing higher education institutions from the transparency provided through the normal appropriations process, in which every other state agency participates, sends the wrong message to the people of this State who, in truth, are the owners of our public colleges and universities.
Veto 36 - Part 1B, Pages 362-363, Section 38, Department of Social Services - Proviso 38.30, DSS: Foster Care Child Placements
The Department of Social Services works every day to reunite children with their families, in accordance with federal and state public child welfare laws which prioritize keeping families intact. The South Carolina Children's Code directs the Department "to make reasonable efforts to preserve or reunify a family," and DSS currently exceeds national standards for reunification of children within 12 months.
This proviso seeks to undo codified child welfare law to provide foster parents with preference for adoption when a child resides with them for nine months. This is contrary to federal requirements that South Carolina is required to meet, as well as state law which champions reunification with parents as a first priority. Utilizing an arbitrary timeframe to place foster parents above biological parents and relatives of a child would create unnecessary and dramatic competition.
This line also imposes a substantial policy mandate on the Department of Social Services. The state budget is not the place to make such determinations. If changes are made, they should be informed, and should occur only after robust debate with expert guidance.
Veto 37 - Part 1B, Page 394, Section 65, Department of Corrections - Proviso 65.29, CORR: CBD Pilot Program
Arguments for the effectiveness of cannabinoids in treating chronic illness and traumatic injury are compelling. However, a program to test CBD on prisoners goes well beyond the scope of the Department of Corrections' rehabilitative mission, and is better suited for an agency or institution with a research-oriented mission.
Veto 38 - Part lB, Pages 499-501, Section 117, General Provisions -Proviso 117.156, GP: South Carolina Industry, Workforce and Education Data Warehouse
Establishing a statewide longitudinal data system for our workforce development needs is a meritorious idea -- South Carolina's workforce requirements are urgent and ongoing, and I thank the General Assembly for endeavoring to resolve the problem.
However, the structure and execution contemplated in this proviso for the establishment of this data warehouse is flawed. Under this provision state agencies would be required to turn over the personal information of South Carolina citizens for any reason or no reason at all. This proviso provides no official oversight for the decisions made by the data warehouse committee, no requirement that citizens consent to their personal information being released and quite frankly no one to say "no" or "pull the plug" before it's too late.
I encourage the General Assembly to go back to the drawing board with this proposal to ensure that sufficient controls are in place to protect the privacy of our citizens.
Veto 39 - Part 1B, Page 310, Section 1A, Department of Education-EIA-Proviso 1A.87, SDE-EIA: McCormick County Schools
This proviso directs $418,000 in nonrecurring funds from John de la Howe School for McCormick County Schools. New leadership is now in place at John de la Howe, and no students are transferring to McCormick. This funding needs to remain at John de la Howe so that the new leadership can carry out its mission to improve the school.
Veto 40 - Part 1B, Page 420, Section 93, Department of Administration -Proviso 93.24, DOA: Emerging Leaders Program
The Emerging Leaders Program focuses on attracting recent college graduates into careers within state government. While this is a worthy endeavor, state agencies have been reluctant to hire additional staff necessary to ensure the effective administration of this program. The Department of Administration has requested that this proviso be deleted in order to give them the flexibility necessary to shift focus toward creating leader pools from existing state employees with less than five years of experience. This approach will save resources, increase effectiveness, and better create the next generation of talent in state government.
Veto 41 - Part 1B, Page 352, Section 34, Department of Health and Environmental Control - Proviso 34.56, DHEC: Hazardous Waste Fund County Account
This proviso, which I also vetoed last year, bypasses local control over hazardous waste contingency fund dollars, allowing individual legislators to use them for their own means and ends. It also broadens the definition of infrastructure to include almost any activity relevant to a project with any economic impact with no transparency or oversight. This is a dangerous abdication of accountability and invites abuse. I am vetoing this proviso - again.
Veto 42 - Part 1A, Page 76, Section 33, Department of Health & Human Services, II. Program and Services, A. Health Services, 3. Medical Assistance Payments, Family Planning, Total Funds: $15,779,259, General Funds: $2,208,596
Taxpayer dollars must not directly or indirectly subsidize abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. There are a variety of agencies, clinics, and medical entities in South Carolina that receive taxpayer funding to offer important women's health and family planning services without performing abortions.
That's why last year I directed state agencies to stop providing state or local funds to abortion clinics. I also directed the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a waiver request to the federal government, making South Carolina one of only two states in the nation (along with Texas) to take this action. Until the waiver is acted upon by the federal government, I will veto this section of the SCDHHS budget
to prevent taxpayer dollars from directly or indirectly subsidizing abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.
For the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing and returning without my approval the above provisions in R. 293, H. 4950, the FY 2018-19 General Appropriations Act.
Yours very truly,
Henry McMaster
Governor
R. 293, H. 4950 -- THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL
