THE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 199), to extend until May 1, 1997, the time in which the study committee established to formulate recommendations concerning the magisterial system, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass with amendment:

Amend the resolution, as and if amended, by adding a new paragraph at the end to read:

/Be it further resolved that the membership of the Magistrates Study Committee shall be expanded to include one additional member appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and one additional member appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee./

Amend further, as and if amended, by striking the title and inserting:

/TO EXTEND UNTIL MAY 1, 1997, THE TIME IN WHICH THE STUDY COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED TO FORMULATE RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE MAGISTERIAL SYSTEM IN SOUTH CAROLINA HAS TO PRESENT ITS REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND TO EXPAND THE MEMBERSHIP OF THIS COMMITTEE./

Renumber sections to conform.

JAMES H. HARRISON, for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXTEND UNTIL MAY 1, 1997, THE TIME IN WHICH THE STUDY COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED TO FORMULATE RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE MAGISTERIAL SYSTEM IN SOUTH CAROLINA HAS TO PRESENT ITS REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND TO EXPAND THE MEMBERSHIP OF THIS COMMITTEE.

Whereas, the Magistrates Study Committee, established in 1996 by current resolution S. 1432, requires additional time in order to receive information from the Summary Court Judges Association and other groups that are preparing studies to submit to the committee. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the time in which the Magistrates Study Committee shall submit its report to the General Assembly be extended from the beginning of the 1997 Legislative Session to May 1, 1997, at which time the committee then shall be dissolved.

Be it further resolved that the membership of the Magistrates Study Committee shall be expanded to include one additional member appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and one additional member appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
