H. 5073--ADOPTED AND SENT TO THE SENATE

On motion of Rep. HODGES, with unanimous consent, the following Concurrent Resolution was taken up for immediate consideration.

H. 5073 -- Reps. Hodges, McTeer, Rogers, Cobb-Hunter, Neal, Richardson, Canty, Keyserling, McElveen and Harvin: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES PROMPTLY TO REIMPOSE THE ENVIRONMENTAL TAXES AND FEES THAT HAVE LAPSED DUE TO UNRELATED BUDGETARY CONFLICTS, SO THAT THE IMPORTANT WORK OF FUNDING THE SUPERFUND ACCOUNT, OIL SPILL FUND ACCOUNT, AND THE LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK TRUST FUND ACCOUNT CAN GO FORWARD.

Whereas, endless budget conflict in the United States Congress has jeopardized the funding of vital environmental programs because the taxes and fees on the petroleum and chemical industries supporting the programs have lapsed and the budget impasse has prevented their reimposition; and

Whereas, among other things, the taxes and fees go to provide funding for the Superfund Program that steps in to clean up environmentally unsafe waste sites when private funds are not available for that purpose, and for the Oil Spill Fund Account and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund; and

Whereas, these taxes and fees paid by the chemical and petroleum industries are vital in ensuring a safe environment for all Americans and in themselves are not significant issues in the budget conflict. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, memorialize the Congress of the United States promptly to reimpose the environmental taxes and fees that have lapsed due to unrelated budgetary conflicts, so that the important work of funding the Superfund Account, Oil Spill Trust Account, and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund Account can go forward.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and each member of this state's congressional delegation.

The Concurrent Resolution was adopted and ordered sent to the Senate.

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.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE

The SPEAKER granted Reps. STODDARD and BAILEY a leave of absence for the remainder of the day.

H. 4443--POINT OF ORDER

The Senate amendments to the following Bill were taken up for consideration:

H. 4443 -- Reps. Wright, Richardson, Cooper, Townsend, Allison, Littlejohn, Kelley and Jaskwhich: A BILL TO AMEND TITLE 59, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO EDUCATION, BY ADDING CHAPTER 40 SO AS TO ENACT THE SOUTH CAROLINA CHARTER SCHOOL ACT WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE MANNER IN WHICH A CHARTER SCHOOL SHALL BE FORMED, FUNDED, REGULATED, AND GOVERNED, AND TO ESTABLISH A CHARTER SCHOOLS REVIEW COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS ACT.

Rep. McTEER proposed the following Amendment No. 1A (Doc Name P:\amend\JIC\6111AC.96), which was ruled out of order.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, Section 59-40-140, page 11, by adding at the end of subsection (A):

/Funding for full-day kindergarten must be distributed to all charter schools desiring to offer a full-day kindergarten program. The sponsor


Printed Page 4802 . . . . . Thursday, May 30, 1996

shall distribute to the charter school a per-pupil level of funding for all-day kindergarten on the same basis as the distribution is made to other public kindergarten programs in the district. However, in the school year 1998-99 and each year thereafter, sufficient funding must be included in the general appropriations act to provide funding at the base student cost level for each child in the State desiring to attend an all-day kindergarten./

Amend title to conform.

Rep. McTEER explained the amendment.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. RICHARDSON raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 1A was out of order as it was not germane in that the Bill dealt with charter schools and the amendment dealt with funding full day kindergarten. He further stated that the author was trying to tie the amendment in through Chapter 59.

Rep. McTEER argued contra the Point in stating that the amendment was germane because the Bill did to charter schools what had been done to public schools all along and that was putting a mandate on the schools to provide for the programs. He further stated that no funding was provided for the all day kindergarten for the charter schools under Section 59-41-48. He further stated that the money that the schools got was from the EFA inflation factor which was not based on the number of students. He further stated that the purpose of the amendment was to say that if they were going to have a full day kindergarten program in the charter schools, then they must be funded by the sponsoring agency.

Rep. ROBINSON stated that the amendment was not germane in that the provisos in the budget only distributed money to school districts and charter schools were independent from school districts.

Rep. HARRELL stated that the substantial effect of the amendment was to expand full day kindergarten statewide and was not germane.

Rep. McTEER stated that his concern was the charter schools having funds from the sponsoring district to provide for the program and that you could not take just one sentence to determine germaneness.

Rep. HODGES stated that this was similar to the Rural Development Act being added to the Income Tax Code and other things that the House had done. He further stated that there was a ruling a few years ago from then Speaker Sheheen in which he ruled a provision dealing with video poker to be germane.

The SPEAKER stated that the Bill dealt with charter schools and how they would be formed, funded, regulated and governed and the last


Printed Page 4803 . . . . . Thursday, May 30, 1996

sentence of the amendment summed up the major impact of the amendment and under Rule 9.3 it was not germane and he sustained the Point of Order and ruled the amendment out of order.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. SHEHEEN made the Point of Order that the Senate amendments were improperly before the House for consideration since printed copies of the Senate amendments have not been upon the desks of the members for one day.

The SPEAKER sustained the Point of Order.
