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 Deuteronomy 26:10: "Now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that You, O Lord, have given me."

Let us pray. Abundant God, everything we own is Yours. Help us to share our gifts with the world. Strengthen these Representatives and staff as they work through the many items in the budget. Give them the courage and integrity to make the necessary decisions. Bless each of these people and keep them in Your care. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Look in favor upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of their time to this Assembly. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

SECTION 33--AMENDED AND ADOPTED

Reps. TRANTHAM and MAGNUSON proposed the following Amendment No. 45 (Doc Name COUNCIL\DG\4000C012.NBD. DG19.DOCX), which was adopted:
Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 33, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES, page 362, after line 19, by adding an appropriately numbered paragraph to read:
/(DHHS: Family Planning Funds) The State has enacted Section 43-5-1185 of the 1976 Code that prohibits state funds, directly or indirectly, from being utilized by Planned Parenthood for abortions, abortion services or procedures, or administrative functions related to abortions. Having prevented Planned Parenthood from performing abortions with state funds, once the federal injunction is lifted, the Department of Health and Human Services may not direct any federal funds to Planned Parenthood. An otherwise qualified organization may not be disqualified from receipt of these funds because of its affiliation with an organization that provides abortion services, provided that the affiliated organization that provides abortion services is independent of the qualified organization. An independent affiliate that provides abortion services must be separately incorporated from any organization that receives these funds. An organization that provides abortion services in compliance with Part 1.B., Proviso 33.12 of this act is excepted from the above restriction on state family planning funds and may receive state family planning funds.   /

Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 117, GENERAL PROVISIONS, page 522, after line 12, by adding an appropriately numbered paragraph to read:
/   (GP: Possession of Medical Cannabis) Any state or local law enforcement agency including, but not limited to, the State Law Enforcement Division, the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Natural Resources is prohibited from using funds appropriated or authorized by the state to arrest, prosecute, seize property from, and initiate forfeiture proceedings against a person with a debilitating medical condition for possession of an allowable amount of medical cannabis, if that person possesses an out-of-state registry card and a written physician certification.

For purposes of this provision 'allowable amount of medical cannabis' is defined as: (a) one ounce of cannabis; or (b) cannabis products in an amount equivalent to one ounce of cannabis, which shall be determined by the department based on the most widely accepted conversion factors between cannabis flower weight and non-flower product units.

For purposes of this provision 'out-of-state registry card' is defined as: a valid registry identification card, or its equivalent, that is issued pursuant to the laws of another state, district, territory, commonwealth, or insular possession of the United States that allows, in its jurisdiction of issuance, a nonresident cardholder to possess cannabis for medical use.

For purposes of this provision 'debilitating medical condition' is defined as: (a) one or more of the following: cancer; multiple sclerosis; a neurological disease or disorder, including epilepsy; glaucoma; post-traumatic stress disorder; Crohn's disease; sickle cell anemia; ulcerative colitis; cachexia or wasting syndrome; severe or persistent nausea in a person who is not pregnant that is related to end-of-life or hospice care, or who is bedridden or homebound because of the condition; a chronic medical condition causing severe and persistent muscle spasms, including multiple sclerosis; or any chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition for which an opioid is currently or could be prescribed by a physician based on generally accepted standards of care; or (b) a terminal illness with a life expectancy of less than one year in the opinion
of the patient's treating physician.

For purposes of this provision 'Written physician certification' is defined as: a document printed on tamper-resistant paper dated and signed by a physician stating that the patient has been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition and that the potential benefits of using medical cannabis outweigh any risks. The certification may be made only in the course of a bona fide physician-patient relationship; must indicate the date of the patient follow-up appointment, not to exceed six months from the original date of issuance; and must be updated annually for each qualifying patient by the certifying physician. If the qualifying patient is expected to recover from the debilitating medical condition within a year of the written certification, not including if the patient may go into remission due to medical cannabis treatment or the qualifying patient is not expected to benefit from medical cannabis for an entire year, then the written certification must specify that fact./

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. WHITE raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 62, Section 118, 1B to H. 4000 (Word version) violated Code Section 11-11-140 in that it appropriated funds that were not certified by the BEA.
The SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE stated that Section 11-11-140 did not require the revenue to be certified but merely required it to be recognized by the BEA. He stated that the BEA had recognized the revenue and overruled the Point of Order.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. WHITE raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 62, Section 118, 1B is out of order, under Rule 5.3(B) because Amendment No. 62 sought to spend projected revenue.
The SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE stated that the Presiding Officer had previously consulted with Revenue and Fiscal Affairs to confirm the existence of the unspent revenue referenced in Amendment No. 62.
He stated further that the 5.3(B) provision applied to amendments where the amendment failed to explain the corresponding appropriation reduction or revenue increase needed to fund the amendment's appropriation. The SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE overruled the Point of Order.

Rep. MOORE continued speaking.

STATEMENT FOR JOURNAL

I was temporarily out of the Chamber on constituent business during the vote on H. 4000 (Word version) during second reading. If I had been present, I would have voted in favor of the Bill.

Rep. Chris Hart

ABSTENTION FROM VOTING
H. 4000 (Word version)--General Appropriations Bill

In accordance with Section 8-13-700(B) of the S.C. Code, I abstained from voting on H. 4000 (Word version), the annual General Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, for the below referenced Part, Section and/or amendment because of a potential conflict of interest and wish to have my recusal noted for the record in the House Journal of this date:
Part IA and Part IB, Section Numbers 33, 34, 38, 58, 61, 63, 65, 66, 67, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 78, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 101, 102, 104, 105, 106, 108, 109, 110, and 111

The reason for abstaining on the above referenced legislation is:

A potential conflict of interest may exist in that an economic interest of myself, a family member, or an individual or business with which I am associated may be affected in violation of S.C. Code Section 8-13-700(B).

A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-740(C) because of representation of a client before a particular agency or commission by me or an individual or business with whom I am associated within the past year.

A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-745(B) and (C) because a contract for goods or services may be entered into within the next year with an agency, commission, board, department, or other entity funded through the general appropriation bill by myself, an individual with whom I am associated in partnership with or a business or partnership in which I have a greater than 5% interest.

Rep. Justin Bamberg

A potential conflict of interest may exist in that an economic interest of myself, a family member, or an individual or business with which I am associated may be affected in violation of S.C. Code Section 8-13-700(B).

A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-740(C) because of representation of a client before a particular agency or commission by me or an individual or business with whom I am associated within the past year.

A potential conflict may exist under S.C. Code Section 8-13-745(B) and (C) because a contract for goods or services may be entered into within the next year with an agency, commission, board, department, or other entity funded through the general appropriation bill by myself, an individual with whom I am associated in partnership with or a business or partnership in which I have a greater than 5% interest.
