Let us pray. Holy and mighty God, as we begin a new week filled with many challenges, give these Representatives strength, courage, and integrity to accomplish the huge task set before them. Help them discern what are the important issues so that they may, with Your guidance, make the right decisions. We pray those decisions will prove to be the right thing to do. Give us pause during the day to reflect on our decisions. Grant Your blessings upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, this Honorable Assembly, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear us as we pray, O Lord. Amen.

Whereas, the Darlington Raceway opened on September 4, 1950, with the inaugural running of the Southern 500, the first stock car race on a paved track; and

Whereas, since 1950, Darlington Raceway has served as a cornerstone in the development of stock car racing, one of the fastest growing and most popular spectator sports in the country; and

Whereas, Darlington Raceway is celebrating its sixtieth season of racing; and

Whereas, Darlington Raceway still hosts its annual spring race events, which will be held this year during the week of May 4, 2009; and

Whereas, South Carolina lays claim to many of the legends of NASCAR racing, including Rex White, David Pearson, Bud Moore, James Hylton, Tiny Lund, and Cale Yarborough; and

Whereas, the State of South Carolina is rich in historical references to the sport of stock car racing, beginning with the dirt raceways across the State that served as home to the fledgling sport of NASCAR racing in the 1950's and as evidenced today by the Darlington Raceway Stock Car Museum, the Joe Weatherly Stock Car Museum, and the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame at Darlington Raceway; and

Whereas, the NASCAR events at Darlington focus our nation's attention and the attention of the world upon our great State as a sport and tourism destination; and

Whereas, the annual economic impact that NASCAR racing has on South Carolina is in excess of fifty million dollars, as NASCAR fans from across the country and around the world visit the State each year to attend racing events and vacation in communities throughout the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, the Darlington Raceway participates as a good corporate citizen at the local, regional, and state levels and is active in numerous community and charitable efforts, contributing to and enhancing the quality of life of the people and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, express the long-held belief that NASCAR racing is an integral and vital part of the State of South Carolina and its economy and recognize Darlington Raceway as one of our state's most treasured attractions and NASCAR racing as a significant part of our state's rich history.

The following was introduced:

H. 3686 (Word version) -- Reps. Weeks, Agnew, Alexander, Allen, Allison, Anderson, Anthony, Bales, Ballentine, Bannister, Barfield, Battle, Bedingfield, Bingham, Bowen, Bowers, Brady, Branham, Brantley, G. A. Brown, H. B. Brown, R.

H. Neal, J. M. Neal, Neilson, Ott, Owens, Parker, Parks, Pinson, E. H. Pitts, M. A. Pitts, Rice, Rutherford, Sandifer, Scott, Sellers, Simrill, Skelton, D. C. Smith, G. M. Smith, G. R. Smith, J. E. Smith, J. R. Smith, Sottile, Spires, Stavrinakis, Stewart, Stringer, Thompson, Toole, Umphlett, Vick, Viers, Whipper, White, Whitmire, Williams, Willis, Wylie, A. D. Young and T. R. Young: A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE GEORGE M. MCFADDIN, JR., OF SUMTER COUNTY FOR HIS DEDICATED LABORS ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON BEING NAMED 2009 ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA CHILDREN'S FOSTER CARE REVIEW BOARD (FCRB), A DIVISION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives honor individuals who freely give of their time and resources for the good of others, especially those who need it most; and

Whereas, the Honorable George M. McFaddin, Jr., of Sumter County stands high among their number, much admired for his years of unceasing effort to make the Sumter area a better place to live for children and families; and

Whereas, since being elected to the Family Court of the Third Judicial Circuit in 2002, Judge McFaddin has proven himself a friend to children and families, as well as a supporter of child advocates; and

Whereas, a graduate of the University of South Carolina, this Sumter County native instituted "Adoption Days," legal hearings that took place in his Family Court chambers that facilitated adoptions for a number of children around the State last year. Judge McFaddin decided to institute the biannual proceedings after noticing the backlog of cases for children awaiting consummation hearings. He invited representatives from the FCRB legal team, attorneys, and would-be foster parents to come to Sumter to finalize the proceedings; and

Whereas, because of that initiative, twenty-five children received permanent homes in 2008; and

Whereas, in addition to his Adoption Days, Judge McFaddin has served as chair to the Bench/Bar Committee, where he has worked toward strengthening the legal system's representation of children and families. Recognizing the importance of permanence for these children, he has labored proactively and successfully to move some cases through the system; and

Whereas, in appreciation of his outstanding work on behalf of children and families, the South Carolina Children's Foster Care Review Board, a division of the South Carolina Governor's Office, has named Judge McFaddin 2009 Advocate of the Year, an award given to an individual who has been an unusual advocate for children; and

Whereas, this honor is a fitting tribute to a man with a high dedication to his calling equaling the eminence of the award, and the South Carolina House of Representatives is proud to add its collective voice to the many warm expressions of praise and gratitude so well deserved by Judge McFaddin. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable George M. McFaddin, Jr., of Sumter County for his dedicated labors on behalf of children and families, and congratulate him on being named 2009 Advocate of the Year by the South Carolina Children's Foster Care Review Board (FCRB), a division of the South Carolina Governor's Office.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable George M. McFaddin, Jr.

The Resolution was adopted.

RECORD FOR VOTING

Rep. Douglas Jennings, Jr.

Rep. COOPER moved to adjourn debate on the Section, which was agreed to.

STATEMENT FOR THE JOURNAL

In reference to accepting the Federal Stimulus monies:
I reluctantly voted to accept the federal stimulus monies available for South Carolina. It would have been my preference not to have accepted these monies as part of our budget, provided that South Carolina citizens could have been exempted from future federal tax increases to repay the debt incurred by the package. This was not the case, however, as our citizens will face the liability of participating in the repayment whether or not the State accepts the monies.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. J. E. SMITH raised the Point of Order that Section 1.48 was out of order in that it was not germane to the Bill as it related to future budgets for the next ten years.
SPEAKER HARRELL stated that Section 1.48 did relate to the current year and subsequent years. He stated further that a Member could not raise a "line item" point of order on a sentence or phrase located within a paragraph of a Part IB proviso. He, therefore, overruled the Point of Order.

Rep. COOPER continued speaking.
Rep. STAVRINAKIS spoke in favor of the amendment.
Rep. J. R. SMITH spoke against the amendment.
