Reference is to the resolution as introduced.
Amend the House resolution, as and if amended, by striking all after the resolving words and inserting:
/ That Rule 5.16 of the Rules of the House of Representatives is amended to read:
"5.16 Should any
member seek immediate consideration of any House or Concurrent
Resolution, the resolution shall receive immediate consideration
unless five members object. If immediate consideration of such
resolution is not sought, or in the event five members do object
where immediate consideration is sought, the resolution shall be
referred to an appropriate committee and shall not be considered
by the House until after the committee has made its report and
at that time shall take its place on the Calendar. Provided,
however, a House or Concurrent Resolution concerning Sine
Die Adjournment under Article III, Section 21 of the South
Carolina Constitution and Section 2-1-180 of the Code of Laws of
South Carolina, 1976, shall receive immediate consideration,
which shall include the motion to commit or recommit.
A House or Concurrent Resolution sponsored
by a committee shall receive immediate consideration if so
requested by a member unless five members object, in which case
it shall take its place on the Calendar without the necessity of
being referred to a committee. Such resolution shall be printed
in the same manner as is prescribed in Rule 5.9 for the printing
of bills.
Provided, however, the Clerk shall
prepare forms for House Resolutions expressing the sympathy or
congratulations of the members of the House. Any member wishing
to sponsor such a resolution shall forward in writing on a form
prepared by the Clerk information sufficient to prepare the
resolution. The Speaker shall sign the resolution on behalf of
the membership. Such resolutions shall not be read to the House
or printed in the Journal except upon the request of ten
members. The Speaker may refer any such resolution to the
Committee on Invitations and Memorial Resolutions and, in such
event, the resolutions must be approved by the committee or if
the committee recommends, by the House.
When the roll of the House is added by
unanimous consent to a House or Concurrent Resolution, the Clerk
of the House shall maintain possession of such resolution until
noon on the following legislative day. A member of the House
who does not wish to have his name included on a House or
Concurrent Resolution when the roll of the House is added by
unanimous consent may request, on a form provided by the Clerk,
that his name be removed from the resolution. The Clerk shall
remove the member's name from such resolution if the request is
received by noon on the following legislative day.
After such time, a member who was
not present when the roll of the House was added by unanimous
consent to a House or Concurrent Resolution, shall be permitted
to add a written statement, in less than two hundred words, in
the appropriate journal stating that had the member been present
in the chamber, he or she would not have voted in favor of the
resolution." /
