123rd Session, 2019-2020 Journal of the House of Representatives
NO. 64
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2019
(STATEWIDE SESSION) Indicates New Matter
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m. Our thought for today is from Psalm 118:29: "O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast endures forever." Let us pray. Holy and everlasting God, Your faithfulness underlies all aspects of our lives. We give You thanks, Almighty God, for always seeking us out in love and grace. Use these Representatives and staff to always give of themselves for the good of this State. Bless them in their work and in their play. Forgive us when we act out of sorts. Thank You for blessing our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Bless and defend our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen. Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER. After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. WEEKS moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Pattie Jefferson Gibson, which was agreed to.

Columbia, S.C., Thursday, May 2
The SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE ordered the following Veto printed in the Journal:
May 1, 2019 Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate: I am hereby vetoing and returning without my approval R. 35, S. 735 (Word version), which seeks to abolish the Clarendon County Board of Education and alter the manner in which certain members are appointed to the Boards of Trustees of Clarendon County School District Nos. 1 and 2. For the reasons set forth below, I must veto S. 735 (Word version). The South Carolina Constitution expressly prohibits the General Assembly from enacting legislation "for a specific county" and "where a general law can be made applicable." S.C. Const. art VIII, Section 7; S.C. Const. Art. III, Section 34(IX). Although our courts have held that greater deference is warranted when local legislation relates to the General Assembly's Article XI authority to establish, organize, and support a system of public schools, I believe that S. 735 (Word version) is problematic for reasons unrelated to this threshold constitutional inquiry. For example, Section 1 of S. 735 (Word version) purports to abolish the Clarendon County Board of Education; yet, Section 2 of the Bill refers to the terms of office of "the members [of the Board of Trustees of Clarendon County School District No. l ] appointed by the county board of education." To the extent that S. 735 (Word version) is intended to increase accountability and advance the conversation regarding school district consolidation in Clarendon County, I applaud this effort. However, such legislation should be free of internal inconsistencies and should take care to avoid unnecessary legislative entanglement in the affairs of local schools. Moreover, I encourage the General Assembly to begin addressing such matters by passing laws of uniform, statewide application, rather than by repeatedly resorting to local or special legislation. For the foregoing reasons, I am respectfully vetoing R. 35, S. 735 (Word version) and returning the same without my signature.
Yours very truly, The Veto was ordered placed on the calendar.
Rep. SANDIFER, from the Committee on Labor, Commerce and Industry, submitted a favorable report with amendments on:
