TO ESTABLISH A COMMITTEE TO STUDY CERTAIN ISSUES AFFECTING VETERANS AND PROVIDE FOR RELATED MATTERS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP AND DUTIES, THE FILLING OF VACANCIES, AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND STAFFING.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. There is established a Committee to Study Certain Issues Affecting Veterans. The committee is comprised of three members of the Senate, to be appointed by the President of the Senate, and three members of the House of Representatives, to be appointed by the Speaker of the House. The members of the committee shall elect a chairman and a vice chairman and shall meet as often and at any locale in the State as the committee considers necessary or expedient for the duration of the committee's existence as provided by this joint resolution. Any vacancy on the committee shall be filled in the manner of original appointment as provided by this section.

SECTION 2. The committee shall study the following: (a) the advisability and feasibility of constructing a fourth state veterans' nursing home in South Carolina, particularly in the lower part of the State; (b) veterans' access to existing nursing facilities and adult daycare facilities and the availability of these facilities to veterans who may be in need of them; (c) the ways in which the State should proceed to generate maximum use of state tax revenue for the benefit of veterans; and (d) the projected growth of the veteran population in South Carolina during the next twenty years.

SECTION 3. The committee shall render a written report of its findings and recommendations based upon its study conducted pursuant to Section 2. The report shall be presented to both houses of the General Assembly and to the Governor not later than June 1, 2001. Upon presenting the written report in accordance with the provisions of this section, the committee shall be dissolved and this joint resolution shall expire.

SECTION 4.
