Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 10:00 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, St. Paul wrote to the Romans, Chapter 14 (vv. 11-12):

"For it is written,

`As I live, says the Lord, every

knee shall bow to me, and every

tongue shall give praise to God!'

So then, each of us will be accountable to God."
Let us pray.

O Thou, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who has sustained us and led us through many days:

Help us to pull together the loose ends of our business.

Guide the Executive and Judicial branches of our government that the legislative decisions and programs approved under the dome may find a worthy entrance into the life-stream of our common life.

As we plan to renovate this grand old building, and bring it to a new life for the new century, so help us to cleanse our corporate lives and, by Your help, bring forth new creations that will forge new visions and new goals for our State and Nation.

Let us pray again words that were prayed more than a century ago:

"Lest our feet stray from the places,

our God, where we met Thee;

Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine

of the world, we forget Thee;

Shadowed beneath Thy hand may we

forever stand,

True to our God, true to our

native land." (James W. Johnson, 1871)

Amen!

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

(R102) S. 368 -- Senator Land: AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 9-8-125 SO AS TO AUTHORIZE A MEMBER OF THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR JUDGES AND SOLICITORS WHO IS AT LEAST SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OF AGE AND ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE RETIREMENT BENEFITS FROM THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY BUT FOR THE MEMBER'S CURRENT EMPLOYMENT AS A JUDGE OR SOLICITOR TO ELECT TO RECEIVE THESE BENEFITS; AND TO AMEND THE 1976 CODE BY ADDING SECTION 9-9-55 SO AS TO ALLOW A MEMBER OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SERVING ANY PART OF A YEAR TO ESTABLISH CREDIT FOR THE FULL YEAR UNDER THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY BY PAYING THE FULL ACTUARIAL COST OF THE SERVICE.

I am hereby returning without my approval S. 368, R. 102, an Act:
TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 9-8-125 SO AS TO AUTHORIZE A MEMBER OF THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR JUDGES AND SOLICITORS WHO IS AT LEAST SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OF AGE AND ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE RETIREMENT BENEFITS FROM THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY BUT FOR THE MEMBER'S CURRENT EMPLOYMENT AS A JUDGE OR SOLICITOR TO ELECT TO RECEIVE THESE BENEFITS; AND TO AMEND THE 1976 CODE BY ADDING SECTION 9-9-55 SO AS TO ALLOW A MEMBER OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SERVING ANY PART OF A YEAR TO ESTABLISH CREDIT FOR THE FULL YEAR UNDER THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY BY PAYING THE FULL ACTUARIAL COST OF THE SERVICE.

I recognize and appreciate the continued service of individuals who are otherwise eligible for retirement. However, this legislation creates a special class of individuals who would be allowed to collect retirement benefits from a state retirement fund while at the same time being paid

For these reasons, I am returning S. 368, R. 102, without my signature.

Sincerely,
David M. Beasley
