S. Printed 2/10/93--S.
Read the first time January 12, 1993.
To whom was referred a Bill (S. 74), to amend Section 2-1-180, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, relating to General Assembly adjournment, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:
GLENN F. McCONNELL, for Committee.
TO AMEND SECTION 2-1-180, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADJOURNMENT, SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT IN NOVEMBER INSTEAD OF JUNE AND TO PROVIDE WHAT BUSINESS MAY BE CONSIDERED UNTIL SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 2-1-180 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 2-1-180. (A) The regular annual session of the General Assembly shall adjourn sine die each year not later than 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in June and shall remain adjourned until the call of the chair. In any a year that the House of Representatives fails to give third reading to the annual General Appropriation Bill general appropriations bill by March thirty-first, the date of sine die adjournment is extended by one statewide day for each statewide day after March thirty-first that the House of Representatives fails to give the bill third reading. The session may also may be extended by concurrent resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives. During the time between 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in June and the extended sine die adjournment date, as set forth herein in this subsection, no legislation or other business may be considered except the General Appropriation Bill general appropriations bill and any matters approved for consideration by a concurrent resolution adopted by two-thirds vote in both houses.
(B) The regular annual session of the General Assembly shall adjourn sine die each year not later than 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in November. The session may be extended by concurrent resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives. During the time between the adjournment date provided for in subsection (A) and the sine die adjournment date, if the Board of Economic Advisors' revenue forecast to the State Budget and Control Board projects that revenues at the end of the fiscal year will be less than appropriated expenditures for that year, the General Assembly must be called back into regular session by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to consider only:
(1) bills amending the general appropriations act;
(2) gubernatorial vetoes;
(3) receipt and confirmation of appointments;
(4) consideration of conference and free conference reports;
(5) ratification of acts;
(6) the concurrence or nonconcurrence on any legislative matters received from the other House;
(7) local matters;
(8) resolutions affecting sine die adjournment."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1993.
