Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from 1 Corinthians 12:4-6: "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activates, but the same God who activates all of them in everyone."

Let us pray. Dear God, You provide for each of these Representatives and Staff the Word that will carry them through the trials and temptations of this life. May we use the gifts You have given to them to go forth to produce great things for this State. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Bless our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who serve in this vineyard. 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.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:
/   SECTION   1.   Section 23-9-25 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 23-9-25.   (A)   It is the purpose of this section to create the 'Volunteer Strategic Assistance and Fire Equipment Program' (V-SAFE) within the Division of State Fire Marshal.

(B)   This section is contingent upon the General Assembly appropriating funds for the offering of grants of not more than thirty thousand dollars to eligible volunteer and combination fire departments for the purpose of protecting local communities and regional response areas from incidents of fire, hazardous materials, terrorism, and to provide for the safety of volunteer firefighters.

(C)(1)   As contained in this section:

(a)   'chartered Fire department' means a public or governmental sponsored organization providing fire suppression activities with a minimum of a Class 9 rating from the Insurance Services Office;

(b)   'chartered Volunteer fire department' means a fire department whose personnel serve for no compensation or are paid on a per-call basis; and

(c)   'chartered Combination fire department' means a fire department with both members who are paid and members who serve as volunteer firefighters.

(2)   Chartered Volunteer fire departments and chartered combination fire departments with a staffing level that is at least fifty percent volunteer are eligible to receive grants pursuant to this section. A chartered fire department that receives a grant must comply with the firefighter registration provisions of Act 60 of 2001 and sign the statewide mutual aid agreement with the South Carolina Emergency Management Division.

(D)   The amount of the grants awarded shall not exceed thirty thousand dollars per year for each eligible chartered fire department, with no matching or in-kind money required. A chartered An eligible fire department may be awarded only one grant in a three-year period annually.

(E)   The grant money received by a chartered fire department must be used for the following purposes:

(1)   fire suppression equipment;

(2)   self-contained breathing apparatus;

(3)   portable air refilling systems;

(4)   hazardous materials spill leak detection, repair, and recovery equipment;

(5)   protective clothing and equipment;

(6)   new and used fire apparatus;

(7)   incident command vehicles;

(8)   special operations vehicles;

(9)   training;

(10)   rescue equipment;

(11)   medical equipment;

(12)   decontamination equipment; and

(13)   safety equipment;

(14)   real properties or improvements thereto including upgrades and rehabilitations; and

(15)   communications equipment.

(F)(1)   The State Fire Marshal shall administer the grants in conjunction with a peer-review panel.

(2)   The peer-review panel shall consist of nine voting members who shall serve without compensation. Seven members must be fire chiefs from each of the seven regions of the State as defined by the State Fire Marshal. The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee shall appoint fire chiefs from Regions 1, 2, and 7. The Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee shall appoint fire chiefs from Regions 3, 4, and 6. The Governor shall appoint one fire chief from Region 5 and one fire chief from the State at large. The State Fire Marshal also shall serve as a member. The President of the South Carolina State Firefighters' Association shall serve as a nonvoting member and chairman of the committee. The peer-review panel shall act as an oversight panel and act to ensure compliance, relevance, and adherence to the prescribed intent of the grants as set forth in this section.

(3)   An applicant for grant money must submit justification for their project that provides details regarding the project and the project's budget, the benefits to be derived from the project, the applicant's financial need, and how the project would affect the applicant's daily operations in protecting lives and property within their community. Each application must be judged on its own merit. The panelists must consider all expenses budgeted, including administrative or indirect costs, as part of the cost-benefit review. An applicant may demonstrate cost-benefit by describing, as applicable, how the grant award will:

(a)   enhance a regional approach that is consistent with current capabilities and requests of neighboring organizations or otherwise benefits other organizations in the region;

(b)   implement interoperable communications capabilities with other local, state, and federal first responders and other organizations;

(c)   allow first responder organizations to respond to all hazards, including incidents involving seismic, atmospheric, or technological events, or chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive incidents, as well as fire prevention and suppression.

Applications that best address the grant funding priorities shall score higher than applications that are inconsistent with the priorities. During the panel review process, panelists shall provide a subjective but qualitative judgment on the merit of each request.

Panelists shall evaluate and score the proposed project's clarity, including the project's budget detail, the organization's financial need, the benefits that would result from an award relative to the cost, and the extent to which the grant would enhance daily operations or how the grant will positively impact an organization's ability to protect life and property. Each element shall be equally important for purposes of the panelists' scores. Panelists must review each application in its entirety and rate the application according to the evaluation criteria.

Applications shall be evaluated by the panelists relative to the critical infrastructure within the applicant's area of first-due response. Critical infrastructure includes any system or asset that, if attacked or impacted by a hazardous event, would result in catastrophic loss of life or catastrophic economic loss. Critical infrastructure includes public water or power systems, major business centers, chemical facilities, nuclear power plants, major rail and highway bridges, petroleum and natural gas transmission pipelines or storage facilities, telecommunications facilities, or facilities that support large public gatherings such as sporting events or concerts. Panelists shall assess the infrastructure and the hazards confronting the community to determine the benefits to be realized from a grant to the applicant.

Applicants that falsify their application, or misrepresent their organization in any material manner, shall have their applications deemed ineligible and referred to the Attorney General for further action, as the Attorney General deems appropriate.

(4)   The project period for any award grant shall be twelve months from the date of the award. Any equipment purchased with the grant must meet all mandatory regulatory requirements, as well as, all state, national, and Department of Homeland Security adopted standards.

Award recipients must agree to:

(a)   perform, within the designated period of performance, all approved tasks as outlined in the application;

(b)   retain grant files and supporting documentation for three years after the conclusion and close out of the grant or any audit subsequent to close out;

Sole-source purchasing is not an acceptable procurement method except in circumstances allowed by law;

(d)   submit a performance report to the peer-review panel six months after the grant is awarded. If a grant's period of performance is extended for any reason, the recipient must submit performance reports every six months until the grant is closed out. At grant closeout, the recipient must report how the grant funding was used and the benefits realized from the award in a detailed final report. An accounting of the funds also must be included; and

(e)   Any fire department that fails to submit the required progress and close-out reports shall be deemed ineligible for future grants until the required reports are submitted and for a period of not less than one grant cycle. Any fire department that is found to have fraudulently expended funds or misrepresented how the funds were utilized will be referred to the Attorney General for further action.

(f) make grant files, books, and records available, if requested by any person, for inspection to ensure compliance with any requirement of the grant program.

(5)   A recipient that completes the approved scope of work prior to the end of the performance period, and still has grant funds available, may:

(a)   use the greater of one percent of their award amount or three hundred dollars to continue or expand, the activities for which they received the award without submitting an application to amend the grant request;

(b)   use excess funds to create or expand, a fire or injury prevention program. Excess funds above the amounts discussed in subitem (a) must be used for fire or injury prevention activities or returned to the program. In order to use excess funds for fire or injury prevention activities, a recipient must submit an amendment to its grant. The amendment request must explain fire or injury prevention efforts currently underway within the organization, where the use of excess funds would fit within the existing efforts, the target audience for the fire or injury prevention project and how this audience was identified, and how the effectiveness of the requested fire or injury prevention project will be evaluated;

(c)   use a combination of subitems (a) and (b); or

(d)   submit an application to the peer-review panel to amend the grant request to redirect funds to another eligible project; or

(e)   return excess funds to the program. To return the excess funds, a recipient must close out its award and state in the final performance report that the remaining funds are not necessary for the fulfillment of grant obligations. The recipient also must indicate that it understands that the funds will be unavailable for future expenses.

(6)   The State Fire Marshal shall:

(a)   develop a grant application package utilizing the established guidelines;

(b)   establish and market a written and electronic version of the grant application package;

(c)   provide an annual report of all grant awards and corresponding chartered fire department purchases to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Governor;

(d)   provide all administrative support to the peer-review panel; and

(e)   provide a grants web page for electronic applications; and

(f)   determine the annual maximum amount of grant funding an eligible fire department may receive based on the total amount of grant funding received divided by the total number of eligible fire departments.

(G)   Two percent of these funds may be awarded to the South Carolina State Firefighters' Association annually for the express purpose of establishing and maintaining a recruitment and retention program for volunteer firefighters. The association must apply for the grant to the peer-review panel.

(H)   Up to three percent of these funds must be retained by the State Fire Marshal for the express purpose of funding costs associated with the administration of the program.

(I)   The State Fire Marshal has the authority to receive and distribute to eligible fire departments all grant funds according to this section.

(J)   Grant funds that are not distributed may be carried forward to the next fiscal year to be used for the same purposes."
SECTION   2.   Section 38-7-20(B)(2) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 149 of 2020, is further amended to read:

"(2)   one four percent must be transferred to the V-SAFE program pursuant to Section 23-9-25;"
SECTION   3.   A.   Section 12-37-935(B) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"(B)   Annually as provided in Section 11-11-150, there is credited to the Trust Fund for Tax Relief an amount sufficient to reimburse all local taxing entities the amount of revenue not collected as a result of the additional depreciation more than eighty percent allowed for manufacturer's machinery and equipment pursuant to this section; however, one percent of such funds must be credited to the V-SAFE program, established pursuant to Section 23-9-25. No reimbursement is allowed for any depreciation allowed in connection with custom molds and dies used in the conduct of manufacturing electronic interconnection component assembly devices for computers and computer peripherals and equipment used in the manufacture of tires by manufacturers who employ more than five thousand employees in this State and have over one billion dollars in capital investment in this State. Reimbursements must be paid from the fund in the manner provided in Section 12-37-270, mutatis mutandis."

SPEAKER IN CHAIR

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. SIMRILL raised the Point of Order under Rule 8.3 that Amendments 700 thru 904 were dilatory and out of order. He stated that Section 4 of each of the amendments was the only difference in the amendments and simply changed the name of the school referenced by each amendment.

Rep. KING argued contra and claimed each amendment would have a different fiscal impact because each school was substantially different from all other schools.

SPEAKER LUCAS cited precedents from 2010 and 2015 concerning dilatory amendments. He stated that Amendments 700 thru 904 were substantially the same and despite the very minor differences were clearly presented to delay the process. He stated Amendments 700 thru 904 were dilatory and violated Rule 8.3. He sustained the Point of Order and ruled Amendments 700 thru 904 out of order.

Reps. KING and McDANIEL proposed the following Amendment No. 61 to H. 4608 (Word version) (COUNCIL\WAB\4608C163.RT.WAB22), which was rejected:
