Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, hear the words of the 104th Psalm (vv.25-29):

"O Lord, how manifold are Your works!

In wisdom you have made all Your

creatures of the earth.

All of them look to You to give them

their food in due season.

You give it to them; they gather it;

You open Your hand, and they are

filled with good things!"
Let us pray.

Dear Lord, make our hearts and wills channels for Your Spirit to create new ways for our world.

Support us in the long, lingering, laborious hours.

Make us equal to the stress of our times.

Keep us sensitive to human need and the burdens that each of us bears.

Guide our military and our government leaders lest we sink in the bog of the swamps of Bosnia.

And here at home, show us Your mercy this day!

Amen.

SECTION   4.   In addition to the appropriations provided in Section 2 of this joint resolution, there is appropriated from the general fund of the State $2,500,000 each for the University of South Carolina and City of Greenville arena projects, but this appropriation is contingent upon receipt of the $5,000,000 from the Southeast Compact for Low-Level Nuclear Waste pursuant to the provisions of Section 48-48-80(E) of the 1976 Code and the approval of the financial plan assuring the funding for the construction of each of the arenas by the State Budget and Control Board.

SECTION   6.   Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any unallocated fiscal year 1994-95 Education Finance Act funds shall be used to purchase school buses under the terms of the existing contract. Should any of the unallocated fiscal year 1994-95 Education Finance Act funds not be utilized to purchase school buses, remaining funds shall be allocated to the school districts for school building aid on a nonmatching basis on the same basis that districts receive Education Finance Act allocations.

SECTION   7.   The State Budget and Control Board will transfer sufficient FTEs and associated appropriations for personal services and other operating expenses as identified by the Department of Revenue and Taxation and the Department of Public Safety from the Department of Public Safety to the Department of Revenue and Taxation. These positions and associated funds are to be used to perform dealer record inspection and audits and verify criteria as defined in Chapters 15 and 16 of Title 56 and Chapter 17 of Title 31 of the 1976 Code for licensing purposes. The Director of the Department of Public Safety will reassign those personnel remaining, but originally assigned, to perform the duties of record inspections and audits to other duties within the department.

SECTION   8.   A.   Section 44-2-20 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Section 80C, Part II, Act 497 of 1994, is amended by adding appropriately numbered items to read:

"( )   'Affiliate' means persons who are affiliates to each other if, directly or indirectly, either one controls or has the power to control the other or a third person controls or has the power to control both. Indicia of control include, but are not limited to, interlocking management or ownership, identity of interest among family members, shared facilities and equipment, common use of employees, or a business entity organized following the suspension, debarment, or exclusion of a person, under applicable regulation, where the person has the same or similar management, ownership, or principal employees as the suspended, debarred, or excluded person.

( )   'Familial relationship' means a connection or association by family or relatives, in which a family member or relative has a material interest. Family or relatives include father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandparent, great grandparent, grandchild, great grandchild, step grandparent, step great grandparent, step grandchild, step great grandchild, or fiancee.

B.   Section 44-2-50(A) of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 486 of 1988, is amended to read:

"(A)   The department shall promulgate regulations relating to permitting, release detection, prevention, and correction applicable to all owners and operators of underground storage tanks as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. The department in these regulations may distinguish between types and classes of underground storage tanks. The regulations promulgated pursuant to this section shall must include the following requirements for underground storage tanks:

(1)   requirements for submitting a permit application and obtaining permits prior to before the installation and operation of an underground storage tank;

(2)   requirements for maintaining a leak detection system, an inventory control system together with tank testing, or a comparable system or method designed to identify releases in a manner consistent with the protection of human health and the environment;

(3)   requirements for maintaining records of any monitoring or leak detection system or inventory control system or tank testing or comparable system;

(4)   requirements for reporting of releases and corrective action taken in response to a release from an underground storage tank;

(5)   requirements for taking corrective action in response to a release from an underground storage tank. The requirements mandated by this item, other than necessary abatement actions to eliminate any imminent threat to human health, safety, or the environment a release may pose, do not apply to a person who, without participating in the management of an underground storage tank and is otherwise not engaged in petroleum production, refining, and marketing, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect that person's security interest in the tank. The indicia of ownership do not include persons who acquire title to the property through foreclosure or other means necessary to enforce the security interests and who, without participating in the management, are otherwise not engaged in petroleum production, refining, and marketing; and

(6)   requirements for the closure of tanks to prevent future releases of regulated substances into the environment."

C.   Section 44-2-80 of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 486 of 1988, is amended to read:

"Section 44-2-80.   (A)   Any person who releases a regulated substance from an underground storage tank shall immediately shall undertake to contain, remove, and abate the release to the satisfaction of the department. However, the undertaking to contain, remove, or abate a release must not be considered an admission of responsibility for the release by the person taking the action. Notwithstanding this requirement, the department may undertake the removal of the abatement measures and other site rehabilitation actions in response to a release and may contract and retain agents who shall operate under the discretion of the department if a responsible party is unwilling or unable to conduct the cleanup site rehabilitation.

(B)   The requirement to conduct site rehabilitation actions other than necessary abatement actions to eliminate any imminent threat to human health, safety, or the environment a release may pose, does not apply to a person who, without participating in the management of an underground storage tank and is otherwise not engaged in petroleum production, refining, and marketing, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect that person's security interest in the tank. The indicia of ownership do not include persons who acquire title to the property through foreclosure or other means necessary to enforce the security interests and who, without participating in the management, are otherwise not engaged in petroleum production, refining, and marketing.

(C)   A person who acquires title to any property on which an underground storage tank has been removed is not responsible for site rehabilitation actions other than necessary abatement actions to eliminate any imminent threat to human health, safety, or the environment. This exemption applies to the extent the release is eligible for compensation from the Superb Account if both of the following conditions are met:

(1)   The person does not have or has not had any familial, financial, or related interest with the person who owned or operated the underground storage tanks that were previously in use at that property. The person must not be an affiliate of the owner or operator.

(2)   The person allows for reasonable access by the underground storage tank owner or operator or the department to perform site rehabilitation activities."

SECTION   9.   A.   Chapter 1, Title 6 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 6-1-80.   (A)   A county, municipality, special purpose or public service district, and a school district shall provide notice to the public by advertising the public hearing before the adoption of its budget for the next fiscal year in at least one South Carolina newspaper of general circulation in the area. This notice must be given not less than fifteen days in advance of the public hearing and must be a minimum of two columns wide with a bold headline.

(B)   The notice must include the following:

(6)   the millage for the current fiscal year; and

(7)   the estimated millage in dollars as necessary for the next fiscal year's proposed budget.

(C)   This notice is given in lieu of the requirements of Section 4-9-130."

B.   This section is effective for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 1995.

SECTION   10.   This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor, but no appropriation in Section 2 may be paid until after the Comptroller General closes the state's books on fiscal year 1994-95./
