In mercy and love make these Representatives and staff work together for the good of this State and her people. By Your hand uphold them in Your tender care. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us and protect us. Make Your face to shine upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of their time, effort, and courage. 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.

Rep. HART raised the Point of Order that under Rule 5.3B that Amendment No. 14 to H. 5201 (Word version), Part 1B, Section 11, was out of order in that the amendment was not germane to the Bill.
Rep. MAGNUSON spoke against the point.
SPEAKER PRO-TEMPORE sustained the Point of Order and stated that the substantial effect of all temporary provisions of law and amendments thereto must be directly germane to the appropriations of funds, affecting revenue, or be rules, regulations, directives, or procedures relative to the appropriation of funds or affecting revenue for the fiscal year referred to in the bill. He stated that the amendment failed to meet the test and ruled the amendment to not be germane.

In accordance with Section 8-13-700(B) of the S.C. Code, I abstained from voting on the Capital Reserve Fund Bill, H. 5202 (Word version), because of a potential conflict of interest and wish to have my recusal noted for the record in the House Journal of this date:
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 8-13-745(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.
