The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Almighty God, Who reveals Yourself in all that is true, pure and holy, cleanse our thoughts of all that defiles that our lives may be fitting chambers of Your presence. Amid duties clamoring for our attention, we pause to acknowledge our limitations and to lean our weaknesses against Your mighty power. As we move into the duties of this day, give us kind hearts, clean thoughts, and an unwavering trust in God. Make us so transparently just and fair that all which is false and evil may be banished by the truth that makes men free. Redeem our failures, pardon our transgressions, transform every task into a throne of service.
We pray in the Name of Jesus Whose teachings are our inspiration.
Amen.

(A) No automobile insurance policy may be issued or delivered in this State to the owner of a motor vehicle or may be issued or delivered by an insurer licensed in this State upon any motor vehicle then principally garaged or principally used in this State, unless it contains a provision insuring the persons defined as insured against loss from the liability imposed by law for damages arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of these motor vehicles within the United States or Canada, subject to limits exclusive of interest and costs, with respect to each motor vehicle, as follows: fifteen thousand dollars because of bodily injury to one person in any one accident, and, subject to the limit for one person, thirty thousand dollars because of bodily injury to two or more persons in any one accident, and five thousand dollars because of injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident. Nothing in this article prevents an insurer from issuing, selling, or delivering a policy providing liability coverage in excess of these requirements.

SECTION _____. Section 38-77-30(4) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

Renumber to conform.
Amend title to conform.
Rep. MAPPUS explained the amendment.

Reps. T.M. BURRISS and HEARN proposed the following Amendment No. 11 (Doc. No. 4177J).
Amend the bill, as and if amended, by adding a section, appropriately numbered to read:
/SECTION _____. A. Article 3 of Chapter 77 of Title 38 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 38-77-350. (A)In any claim or action for personal injury or wrongful death arising out of the ownership, operation, use, or maintenance of a motor vehicle, the court shall admit into evidence the total amount of all collateral sources paid to the claimant as a result of the accident, and the court shall instruct the jury to deduct from its verdict the value of all benefits received by the claimant from any collateral source.
(B) For purposes of this section, 'collateral sources' means any payments made to the claimant, or on his behalf, by or pursuant to:

(D) Benefits received under the Medicaid program of Title XIX of the Social Security Act are not a collateral source."
B. The Chief Insurance Commissioner shall review all forms of insurance affected by this section and shall order rate reductions as may appear appropriate, but in no event less than ten percent."/
Renumber to conform.
Amend title to conform.
Rep. T.M. BURRISS explained the amendment.

H. 4025 -- Reps. Carnell, McLellan, McAbee, Blanding and Edwards: A BILL TO AMEND ACT 1377 OF 1968, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SO AS TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL BONDS.

Engineering Innovation
Center, A&E 750,000
Total, Clemson University (E&C) 750,000
Rep. SHEHEEN spoke against the Item.
Rep. McABEE raised the Point of Order that the procedure of taking up Amendment No. 1 on an item by item basis was out of order as the House Rules do not allow for the division of an amendment.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated there was ample precedent for the division of an amendment, and he overruled the Point of Order.
Rep. McABEE then inquired whether the vote of the House to divide the amendment could be reconsidered.
Rep. SHEHEEN argued that the motion to divide the question was a procedural motion, and may not be reconsidered.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated the motion may not be reconsidered.
Rep. FELDER raised the Point of Order that under Rule 8.10 any question may be divided if the divided parts are capable of standing alone, and that, as Amendment No. 1, was a package, the individual items were incapable of standing alone.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated the amendment was clearly divisible, and he overruled the Point of Order.
Rep. FELDER then raised the Point of Order that the motion to divide the question was a procedural attempt to do indirectly what could not be accomplished directly.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore overruled the Point of Order.
Rep. WILKINS moved the adoption of Amendment No. 1 in its entirety.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated the question had previously been divided, therefore the motion was out of order.
Rep. WILKINS then inquired whether the motion to adopt all items in Section 1 which had not been adopted would be in order.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore replied in the negative.
Rep. FELDER raised the Point of Order that under Rule 8.10, the question to be divided was not the amendment, but the Bill.
Rep. SHEHEEN argued that, as the Bill was simply a skeleton bill, the only question before the House was that of the amendment.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated there was ample precedent for the division of amendments, and he overruled the Point of Order.
Rep. McLELLAN explained the Item.
Rep. EDWARDS spoke in favor of the Item.
Rep. T. ROGERS raised the Point of Order that, in reference to Rep. McABEE's earlier Point, under Section 456 of Mason's Manual, which did state that procedural motions are not subject to reconsideration, there is further provision for that reasoning, if there was a more direct, simple way to effect such action, therefore Rep. WILKINS' motion to adopt the remainder of Amendment No. 1 in toto would be in order.
Rep. L. MARTIN argued that under Section 461 of Mason's, the motion to reconsider such procedural action may not be made once the action has been effected, which was the case.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated he would research the Point and then render a ruling.
Rep. FELDER spoke in favor of the Item.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated that under no circumstances may a procedural motion be reconsidered, therefore Rep. WILKINS' motion to adopt Amendment No. 1 in toto would therefore be out of order. He further stated that the motion to adopt the remainder of the questions not adopted was a separate new procedural motion and would be in order, and cited similar precedent, that such actions were in order.
Rep. WILKINS moved to take up Items 5-31 at one time.
Rep. McCAIN moved to table the motion.
Rep. SHEHEEN demanded the yeas and nays, which were taken resulting as follows:

Rep. McEACHIN raised the Point of Order that under Article X, Section 11 of the South Carolina Constitution, Sections 28, 29, 30, and 31 of the Bond Bill were out of order as money was not being provided to the state or to its subdivisions.
The SPEAKER Pro Tempore stated that he would have to overrule the Point as Section 11 was not applicable to the Bond Bill, but that Section 13 of the same Article limits the General Assembly's power of incurring general obligation indebtedness, and the one restriction would be the debt that was incurred must be for public purposes. Therefore, on Section 28, he overruled the Point as the Greenville Performing Arts Center was to be located on land owned by a public entity; on Section 29, the South Carolina Aquarium, he overruled the Point as there was a prohibition in the section itself that no money was to released until a public authority was established to operate it; on Section 30, the Florence County Civic Center, he overruled the Point as it was to be administered by a public governing body; and, on Section 31, the North Charleston Coliseum, he overruled the Point as the majority of the funds were to be supplied by a public governing body.
