Pursuant to the provisions of S. 803, the Senate assembled at 11:00 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, one of the Songs of Praise at the end of time is recorded in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 15 (v.3):
"GREAT AND WONDERFUL ARE THY DEEDS, O
LORD GOD THE ALMIGHTY!
JUST AND TRUE ARE THY WAYS, O KING OF
THE AGES!"
Let us pray.
Oh King of the Ages: as we come to the end of this Session, we realize that we are creatures of time... mortal to the core... and that time marches on.
For the privilege of serving You... and our people in these halls, and at this time, we give you THANKS!
Hear, Oh Lord, the silent prayers of each of us as the economic destiny of our beloved Charleston people hangs in the balance at this very hour. Veto wrong impulses and support the people of Charleston and our State as we pray, "Give us this day our daily bread."
Grant to us, Oh Lord, as we leave these halls; and grant to a confused, disjointed, and troubled human race the knowledge of which the poet wrote in these words:
"I know not where His islands lift
their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift beyond
His love and care."
Receive now, beloved, an ancient benediction:
"May the defense of the Most High be
above and beneath you... around and
within you, in your going out and in
your coming in, in your rising up
and your going down, all your days and
all your nights, until the dawn when
the Son of Righteousness shall arise with
healing in His wings for the people of
the world!"
Amen!
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

The Honorable Nick A. Theodore
President of the Senate
State House, 1st Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29202
Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my signature S. 254, R191, an Act:
TO AMEND SECTION 40-43-10, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT NOMINEES FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD BY THE GOVERNOR MUST BE ELECTED BY PHARMACISTS RESIDING IN THAT DISTRICT; TO AMEND SECTION 40-43-420, RELATING TO PHARMACY FEES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THESE FEES MUST BE SET IN REGULATION; TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN FEES ARE IN EFFECT UNTIL THEY ARE SET IN REGULATION; TO REPEAL SECTION 40-43-480, RELATING TO FUNDING IN THE 1986 APPROPRIATIONS ACT; AND TO REAUTHORIZE THE STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY FOR SIX YEARS.
This veto is based upon my belief that the changes proposed under this Act regarding the nomination procedure for appointment to the State Board of Pharmacy are unconstitutional.
The nomination provisions proposed by this Act for board members from the six congressional districts are, in my view, an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority in violation of Article III, Section I of the South Carolina Constitution. A similar law, requiring that the Governor's appointees to the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners be members of the South Carolina Medical Association, was held by the South Carolina Supreme Court in Toussaint v. State Bd. of Medical Examiners to violate Article III, Section 1 of the state constitution, 285 S.C. 266 (1985). While no private organization is involved in the nomination procedures proposed under R191, the Governor's power to appoint is similarly restricted. As the state Supreme Court has stated, it is "well settled that the power to legislate cannot be delegated to private persons or corporations... nor to any other body." State v. Watkins, 259 S.C. 185, 202 (1972). I believe that R191 contemplates such a delegation of authority to private individuals in violation of Watkins and the state constitution.
For this reason, I believe that R191 is an unconstitutional enactment. I am, therefore, returning this Act to you without my signature.
Sincerely,
Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.
Governor

Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 416, R212, an Act:
TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 8-13-1125 SO AS TO PROVIDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT CERTAIN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 8-13-1120 ON CONTENTS OF STATEMENT OF ECONOMIC INTERESTS UNDER ETHICS, GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY, AND CAMPAIGN REFORM... [Abbreviated Title]
Although I believe there are many excellent amendments to the Ethics, Government Accountability and Campaign Reform Act of 1991, in this legislation, I am concerned about provisions in S. 416 as introduced and the disclosure exceptions it creates. I am also concerned about the changes in Section 8-13-1308 which I believe inadvertently was amended and eliminated the requirement that candidate campaign disclosure forms must be filed with the Ethics Commission 15 days prior to an election.
I would be happy to work with the General Assembly next session and pass those technical corrections recommended by the Ethics Commission and consider any other concerns involving ethics.
For the above reasons, I am returning S. 416, R212 without my signature.
Yours sincerely,
Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.

The Honorable Nick A. Theodore
President of the Senate
State House, 1st Floor, East Wing
Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Mr. President and Members of the Senate:
I am hereby returning without my approval S. 619, R205, an Act:
TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 40-22-195 SO AS TO ESTABLISH A CATEGORY B ASSOCIATE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND TO PROVIDE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION; TO AMEND SECTION 40-22-10, RELATING TO DEFINITIONS, SO AS TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL TERMS; TO AMEND SECTION 40-22-190, RELATING TO REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION AS A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, SO AS TO ESTABLISH THIS CLASS OF REGISTRATION AS A CATEGORY A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND TO REVISE THE EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS; TO AMEND SECTION 40-22-200, RELATING TO ENGINEER-IN-TRAINING CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, SO AS TO REVISE THE EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS; TO AMEND SECTION 40-22-370, RELATING TO THE SEAL REQUIRED FOR ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS, SO AS TO REQUIRE THE SEAL TO BEAR THE LICENSE CATEGORY FOR ENGINEERS AND TIER DESIGNATION FOR SURVEYORS; TO AMEND SECTION 40-22-390, RELATING TO DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS, SO AS TO ADD AS A GROUND FOR SUCH ACTION PRACTICING WITHOUT A LICENSE; AND TO PROVIDE THAT PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS LICENSED ON THIS ACT'S EFFECTIVE DATE MUST BE RECOGNIZED AS A CATEGORY A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER.
This Act would create a dangerous precedent by clouding the lines of professional distinction between two very important and related professions that are in fact fundamentally different. This legislation was introduced to allow students who complete the four-year program of engineering technology to take the professional engineering examinations and, if they pass, to receive the title of Category B Professional Engineer. Currently, only students who complete a four-year degree in engineering can take the examinations.
The engineering technology degree and the engineering degree represent two very different curricula. The engineering degree emphasizes mathematics in the design of engineering projects. The engineering technology degree teaches a person how to carry out the engineer's design through the coordination of resources; it does not teach the design aspect.
In addition, there is a cooperative undergraduate engineering program between The Citadel and the technical colleges of the coastal region including Trident, Orangeburg-Calhoun, Horry-Georgetown and the Low Technical College of the Lowcountry, which makes engineering degree programs easily accessible to all of those who wish to practice as professional engineers. For this reason, I do not see the need to diminish the licensing requirements for this profession.
To allow someone with an engineering technology degree to be called a professional engineer is misleading to the student, the engineering profession and the marketplace that relies on professional engineers. Allowing engineering technologists into the engineering profession without the additional educational requirements of a professional engineer would be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the public.
Therefore, for the above reasons, I am returning S. 619, R205 without my signature.
Yours sincerely,
Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.
