Senator McCONNELL proposed the following Amendment No. 4 (3901R004.GFM):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by adding an appropriately numbered new SECTION TO READ:

/SECTION . If a county has imposed a local option sales and use tax pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 4 prior to November 7, 1995, the county election commission shall conduct a referendum at the same time as the statewide referendum provided herenin on the question of whether the local option sales and use tax imposed under Chapter 10 of Title 4 shall continue to be imposed. The question must read substantially as follows:

`Must a one percent sales and use tax continue to be levied in County for the purpose of allowing a credit against a taxpayer's county and municipal ad valorem tax liability and for the purpose of funding county and municipal operations in the County area?

(B) All qualified electors desiring to vote in favor of continuing the tax shall vote `yes' and all qualified electors opposed to continuing the tax shall vote `no'. If a majority of the votes cast are in favor of continuing the tax, then the tax shall continue to be imposed as provided in Chapter 10 of Title 4; otherwise, the tax shall not continue to be imposed. If the vote in the referendum is to terminate the tax, the termination is effective on May 1, 1996. Notwithstanding the termination date of the local option sales and use tax, with respect to services that are regularly billed on a monthly basis, the local option sales and use tax is terminated beginning on the first day of the billing period beginning on or after the termination date.

(C) The provisions of this section are independent of the referendum provided for in Chapter 10 of Title 4.

(D) Two weeks before the referendum the county council and the municipal councils in the county area shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdiction the credit against property taxes in the most recent fiscal year. The notice must show the credit on the following classes of property:

(1) a primary residence;

(2) personal property including, but not limited to, an automobile;

(3) a commercial facility;

(4) an industrial facility.

Amend title to conform.

On motion of Senator McCONNELL, debate was interrupted by adjournment.

Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 11:30 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 last words of King David," recorded in Second Samuel (vv. 23:3-4):

"The God of Israel has spoken, the

Rock of Israel has said to me:

`One who rules over people justly,

ruling in the fear of God,

Is like the light of morning,

like the sun rising on a cloudless

morning, gleaming from the rain on

the grassy land'."
Let us pray.

God of ancient days and of our day: Excite us with zest and zeal for the progressive fashioning of the South Carolina of our dreams and prayers.

Free us from the contravening currents of confusion that sometimes come into play about this time in our sessions.

Help us to see ourselves in the tradition of those who heard King David say, "One who rules over people justly, ruling in the fear of God, is like the light of morning."

Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
