COMMITTEE REPORT
March 21, 1991
H. 3222
Introduced by REPS. Harvin, McLeod, Littlejohn, McElveen, H. Brown, Quinn, Vaughn and McCraw
S. Printed 3/21/91--S.
Read the first time February 13, 1991.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3222), to memorialize the United States Congress to repeal, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:
JOHN DRUMMOND, for Committee.
TO MEMORIALIZE THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO REPEAL A RECREATIONAL BOATING "USER FEE" WHICH RECENTLY WAS ADOPTED.
Whereas, due to recent action taken by the United States Congress, beginning this year owners of boats sixteen feet in length and longer will be required to pay an annual recreational boating "user fee". The fee depends on the length of the boat; and
Whereas, according to disgruntled boat owners affected by the tax, the government will get approximately one hundred thirty million dollars from the "user fee" and not one cent is earmarked for boating improvements or boating safety; and
Whereas, there is a substantial penalty if boat owners do not comply with this unjust legislation. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly memorialize the United States Congress to repeal a recreational boating "user fee" which recently was adopted.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President and Vice President of the United States, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and to each member of the South Carolina Congressional delegation.
