NO. 66
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2021
________
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Jeremiah 23:3: "Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of the lands where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their fold and they shall be fruitful and multiply."
Let us pray. Loving and grateful God, You care for these people who give of themselves for the people of this State. Grant them peace and faithfulness as they do their work. Make them strong with all the glorious power, as they joyfully give thanks to You, our Father. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Make Your face shine on our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who serve. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your Mercy, hear our prayers. 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 yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

Rep. BAMBERG proposed the following Amendment No. 1 to S. 771 (Word version) (COUNCIL\ZW\771C001.BH.ZW21), which was adopted:
Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking SECTION 2 and inserting:
/ SECTION 2. (A) The Bamberg County School District must be governed initially by a board of trustees of nine members to be appointed by a majority of the Bamberg County Legislative Delegation. The nine members initially appointed by the legislative delegation after the effective date of this act must be qualified electors of either Bamberg-Ehrhardt School District One or Denmark-Olar School District Two, and these appointed members shall serve on the Bamberg County School District Board of Trustees until four trustees have been duly elected and qualify in school district elections held at the same time as the 2024 general election pursuant to the provisions of this section. These four trustees must be elected from defined single-member election districts to be established in subsequent legislation enacted after the release of pertinent demographic data obtained in the 2020 decennial census, but prior to the opening of the filing period for the 2024 school district elections.
(B)(1) Beginning in 2024, four members of the Bamberg County School District Board of Trustees must be elected from single member districts provided for by the General Assembly in nonpartisan elections to be conducted at the same time as the general election and every four years thereafter, except as may be provided to stagger the members' terms. The four candidates elected in the 2024 school district elections must be elected from election districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 and shall serve four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify. Each of these four members and their successors must be a qualified elector of the election district from which he is elected. Beginning in 2026, five additional members of the Bamberg County School District Board of Trustees must be elected from election districts 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 in nonpartisan elections to be conducted at the same time as the general election and every four years thereafter, except as may be provided to stagger the members' terms. The five candidates elected in the 2026 school district elections shall serve four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify. Each of these five members and their successors must be a qualified elector of the election district from which he is elected. In order to provide continuity of experienced leadership to the district, when the four duly elected trustees from election districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 take office following the 2024 school district elections, a majority of the Bamberg County Legislative Delegation shall select five members from the initial nine-member appointed board of trustees to serve as school district trustees together with the four elected members, and the terms of the remaining appointed trustees not selected to serve with the four elected members must be terminated. The five members of the initial nine-member appointed board selected to serve alongside the four elected members shall serve until their successors are elected in school district elections conducted at the same time as the 2026 general election and qualify.
(2)(a) The four trustees elected from districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the 2024 school district elections shall serve four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify, and the successors to these members must be elected in nonpartisan school district elections to be conducted at the same time as the 2028 general election. The trustees elected in the 2028 school district election and their successors shall serve four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify.
(b) Pursuant to item (1) of this subsection, the five members of the initial nine-member appointed board selected by the Bamberg County Legislative Delegation to serve alongside the four elected members shall serve until their successors are elected from districts 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 in school district elections conducted at the same time as the 2026 general election and qualify.

Amend the bill further, as and if amended, by striking SECTION 5 and inserting:
/ SECTION 5. (A) For purposes of determining the 2022 property tax millage levy of the Bamberg County School District upon its creation, the millage levy for the district must be determined and calculated by the Department of Revenue based on the 2021 levy of the two present school districts and the value of a mill in each district. Thereafter, the millage levy for property tax years 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 must be the millage levy for the previous year. To the allowed millage levy may be added any millage determined by the Department of Revenue necessary to comply with educational mandates imposed by federal or state law.
(B) Beginning in 2027, the Bamberg County School District is vested with total fiscal autonomy. In order to obtain funds for school purposes the board of trustees is authorized to impose an annual tax levy, exclusive of any millage imposed for bond debt service. Upon certification by the board of trustees to the county auditor of the tax levy to be imposed, the auditor shall levy and the county treasurer shall collect the millage so certified upon all taxable property in the district. The consolidated school district may raise its millage by no more than two mills over that levied for the previous year, in addition to any millage needed to adjust for the EFA inflation factor and sufficient to meet the requirements of Section 59-21-1030. An increase above this two mills for operations may be levied only after a majority of the registered electors of the district vote in favor of the millage increase in a referendum called by the district board of trustees and conducted by the county board of voter registration and elections. If the school district calls for the referendum provided for in this subsection to be held at any time other than at the general election conducted pursuant to Section 7-13-10 then the school district shall pay the cost of the referendum. To the extent the provisions of this section relating to increases in school millages conflict with the provisions of Section 6-1-320, relating to the millage rate increase limitation, the provisions of Section 6-1-320 control. /
Amend the bill further, as and if amended, SECTION 7, subsection (C)(1)(B), page 9, by striking subitem (b) and inserting:
/ (b) seek election to the Bamberg County School District Board of Trustees. /

If so warranted, the Executive Budget Office shall work with the Office of the Comptroller General to increase such authorization for the affected agencies.
The Department of Administration shall allocate associated compensation increases for retirement employer contributions based on the retirement rate of the retirement system in which individual employees participate.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 33, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES, beginning on page 325, by striking paragraph 33.25 and inserting:
/ 33.25. (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. The Department of Health and Human Services may not accept federal funds for family planning. None of the state funds appropriated for family planning may be expended to directly or indirectly subsidize abortion services or procedures or administrative functions and none of the funds appropriated herein may be paid or granted to an organization that provides abortion services. 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 where the life of the mother is at risk and the termination of the pregnancy is incidental to the lifesaving intervention is exempted from the above restriction on state family planning funds and may receive state family planning funds, provided that the physician shall act in accordance with the standard of care to preserve both the life of the mother and the life of the pre-born child. /
Amend the bill further, Part IB, Section 108, PUBLIC EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AUTHORITY, beginning on page 461, by striking paragraph 108.4 and inserting:
/ 108.4. (PEBA: Funding Abortions Prohibited) No funds appropriated for employer contributions to the State Health Insurance Plan may be expended to reimburse the expenses of an abortion, except in cases of rape, incest or where the mother's medical condition is one which, on the basis of the physician's good faith judgment, so complicates the pregnancy as to necessitate an immediate abortion to avert the risk of her death or for which a delay will create serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of major bodily function, and the State Health Plan may not offer coverage for abortion services, including ancillary services provided contemporaneously with abortion services. The Public Employee Benefit Authority must determine the amount of the total premium paid for health coverage necessary to cover the risks associated with reimbursing participants in the plan for obtaining an abortion in the circumstances covered by this provision. The determination must be based on actuarial data and empirical study in the same manner and by the same method that other risks are adjusted for in similar circumstances. The plan must report this determination annually to the respective Chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee. No funds appropriated for employer contributions to the State Health Insurance Plan may be expended to reimburse the expenses of an abortion, and the State Health Plan may not offer coverage for abortion services, including ancillary services provided contemporaneously with abortion services. /
