A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CREATE A STUDY COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF EVALUATING HOW TO BETTER STRUCTURE AND GOVERN AN AIR TRANSPORT SYSTEM TO BENEFIT THE PUBLIC AND THE GRAND STRAND AREA OF THE STATE AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE STUDY COMMITTEE'S MEMBERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

Amend Title To Conform

Whereas, the General Assembly believes:

(1)    a more competitive air transport system for the Grand Strand area is a key economic development tool for the residents of the area and the public; and

(2)    a more competitive air transport system must be developed only through consensus among the people and groups working to improve the governing structure and foster a more competitive operation for the air transport system; and

Whereas, it is the goal of the General Assembly to ensure that:

(1)    the public and the residents of the Grand Strand area have access to a competitively operated air transport system as quickly as possible; and

(2)    the development of an air transport system with enhanced competitiveness is achieved through a cooperative process of careful and considered evaluation. Now, therefore,

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

(A)    That there is created by the Horry County Legislative Delegation a joint study committee to be known as the "Grand Strand Air Transport Investigative Study Committee", composed of the following fourteen members appointed by the Horry County Legislative Delegation:

(1)    four members of the Horry County Council;

(2)    two members of the Myrtle Beach City Council;

(3)    two members appointed by the Horry County Legislative Delegation, one of whom must be a Senator and one of whom must be a member of the House of Representatives. The two members of the Horry County Legislative Delegation shall serve as chairman and vice-chairman of the committee;

(4)    one resident of the City of North Myrtle Beach, who may be an elected official;

(5)    one resident of the City of Loris, who may be an elected official;

(6)    one resident of the City of Conway, who may be an elected official;

(7)    one member appointed of each of the following entities:

(a)    the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corporation;

(b)    the Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday; and

(c)    the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce; and

(8)    one member appointed by the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission.

(B)    Committee members serve without compensation.

(C)    The committee must submit a report that:

(1)    evaluates how best to foster a partnership between the private sector and public sector to accomplish the goals of this act; and

(2)    makes recommendations to the Horry County legislative delegation regarding the best form of governance, structure, and operations for a more competitive air transport system in the Grand Strand area and for any necessary legislation to provide for the governance, structure, and operations.

(D)    The report must be submitted to all members of the Horry County Legislative Delegation no later than January 15, 2009.
