Rep. KIRSH explained the amendment.
The amendment was then adopted.
The Senate amendments, as amended, were then agreed to and the Bill ordered returned to the Senate.
The Senate amendments to the following Bill were taken up for consideration.
H. 4460 -- Rep. McTeer: A BILL TO AMEND SECTION 9-1-1140, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO ESTABLISHING PRIOR SERVICE CREDIT FOR PURPOSES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA RETIREMENT SYSTEM, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE CREDIT MAY BE ESTABLISHED FOR MATERNITY LEAVE AS PROVIDED BY LAW IF THE MEMBER APPLIED FOR REEMPLOYMENT WITHIN TWO YEARS OF GOING ON MATERNITY LEAVE AND WAS REHIRED WITHIN TWO AND ONE-HALF YEARS OF THE BEGINNING OF THE LEAVE.
The Senate amendments were agreed to, and the Bill, having received three readings in both Houses, it was ordered that the title be changed to that of an Act, and that it be enrolled for ratification.
The amendment which I withdrew would have corrected a special provision to
benefit one person. The Senate added Section 2 to this Bill to give a
gubernatorial appointee, who was in a holdover status, retroactive permission to
apply for the early retirement incentive, which ended in November of 1993. This
person knew, or at worst should have known in 1993, that they were not going to
be reappointed and if they wanted to participate in the early retirement
incentive, they should have done it by November, 1993. Section 2 is nothing
more that special purpose, pork barrel spending to benefit one person. This is
wrong!
