Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of South Carolina:
That Rule 19(B) of the Senate be added to the Senate Rules to read:
(1) There is hereby created a Committee on Agenda composed of the chairman of each Senate Standing Committee or his designee from the membership of that committee, except as provided herein. The chairman of the committee on Interstate Cooperation shall not have a seat on this committee. The members of the committee shall elect a chairman from among its membership and shall designate the time and place of its meetings. The Committee on Agenda shall meet on Tuesday morning of the second and fourth Tuesday of each month of the legislative session.
(2) The Committee on Agenda shall make recommendations on bills to be placed in the status of Special Order on the Senate Calendar. If a bill is recommended for special order by the Committee on Agenda, it shall require only a majority vote of the members of the Senate present and voting during the daily session to place the bill on special order. However, a bill shall not be recommended for special order by the Committee on Agenda if the chairman of the committee to whom it was originally referred does not vote in favor the bill being placed on special order.
(3) If a bill has been on special order for twelve legislative days, the Committee on Agenda may recommend that such bill be removed from special order status. If the Committee on Agenda makes recommendations for such removal, it shall require only a majority vote of the members of the Senate present and voting during the daily session of the Senate to remove a bill recommended for removal from the status of special order."
