Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Isaiah 50:4: "The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher."

Let us pray. Lord God, You have called these women and men to be teachers to the people they serve. Give them the skill and motivation to take care of those they serve. Give these Representatives inspiration and protection and may You always be ready to provide what is needed. So, gracious God, make us both learners and teachers. Protect our defenders of freedom and first responders and keep them safe. Bless and keep our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who give of their time and talent to this State. Continue Your blessings on our men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

MOTION ADOPTED

Rep. MCKNIGHT moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Taylor Janelle McFadden Robinson, which was agreed to.

Mrs. Taylor Janelle McFadden Robinson

I ask that when we adjourn today, that we adjourn in memory of Mrs. Taylor Janelle McFadden Robinson, 29, of Florence, SC, a Realtor who passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2022. She was a tragic victim of domestic violence. Taylor tried to get an order of protection against her husband, but was denied. Taylor was a wonderful mother and a very successful entrepreneur.

Loved ones left to cherish her memories are: two sons, De`Mari Robinson and Kayden Robinson; her father, John McFadden of Lake City, SC; three sisters, Renee Fulton of Florence, SC, Anastasia McFadden (Jacoby Plummer) of Charlotte, NC, and Christy (Tony) Reed of Florence, SC; two brothers, Richard Fulton of Florence, SC, and Michael McFadden of Charlotte, NC.

H. 4831 (Word version) -- Reps. Elliott, B. Cox, Caskey, Ballentine, Wooten, McGarry, Forrest, Erickson, Bernstein, Wetmore, Carter, Atkinson, Cogswell, W. Cox, Weeks, Wheeler, Henegan and Murray: A JOINT RESOLUTION TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TO CONDUCT AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STUDY TO EVALUATE THE STATE'S BUSINESS ADVANTAGES, ECONOMIC CLIMATE, WORKFORCE READINESS, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT STATE ASSETS TO CREATE A ROADMAP TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE IN ATTRACTING OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY SUPPLY CHAIN INDUSTRIES TO THE STATE; AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE PURPOSE AND DUTIES OF THE STUDY.

The Committee on Labor, Commerce and Industry proposed the following Amendment No. 1 to H. 4831 (Word version) (COUNCIL\PH\4831C003. NBD.PH22), which was adopted:
Amend the joint resolution, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:
/   SECTION   1.   (A)   The Department of Commerce must conduct an economic development study to evaluate the state's business advantages, economic climate, workforce readiness, and any other relevant state assets to create a roadmap for South Carolina to effectively compete in attracting offshore wind energy supply chain industries to the State. This study will build upon South Carolina's existing breadth of research including, but not limited to, the previous Phase I and Phase II Economic Impact Studies conducted by Clemson University in 2012 and 2014. The Department of Commerce also must coordinate with the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff, Clemson University, or any other state agency where deemed necessary to exchange information and expertise.

(B)   To the extent necessary to carry out study responsibilities, the department is authorized to employ third-party consultants and industry experts, by contract or otherwise, as the department may consider necessary to assist in the proper discharge of the responsibility as provided by this section.

(C)   In conducting the economic development study and in creating a roadmap, the department must consider at least all of the following:

(1)   identification and characterization of discrete segments within the offshore wind supply chain, including major manufacturing operations, specialty component manufacturing, component assembly, and ancillary services for future offshore wind energy projects along the east coast of the United States;

(2)   estimated number and type of direct manufacturing jobs;

(3)   potential ancillary economic benefits;

(4)   potential industry investment in South Carolina and opportunities for rural economic development;

(5)   highest impact investment opportunities to produce the largest net economic benefit;

(6)   potential benefits to local tax bases;

(7)   expected additional contribution to state economic output;

(8)   any additional information the department identifies as relevant to the conduct of its study; and

(9)   actionable next steps the State should take to recruit new, and assist the expansion of existing offshore wind supply chain companies, in order to capitalize on the 109 billion dollar offshore wind industry.
SECTION   2.   The Department of Commerce must submit the reports, roadmap, and any legislative recommendations to the Speaker of the House, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Chairman of the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, the President of the Senate, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Chairman of the Senate Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee one year from the date of funding.
SECTION   3.   Implementation of the provisions of this joint resolution is contingent upon funding by the General Assembly.
SECTION   4.   This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor. /

Dear Mr. Reid,
I am notifying you that I will not participate in the Judicial Merit Selection Commission's joint election on February 2, 2022 regarding the vote on the re-election of the Honorable Courtney Clyburn Pope, Judge of the Circuit Court, Second Judicial Circuit, Seat 1. In accordance with Section 8-13-700 (A)-(B) of the SC Code, I recuse myself from voting on Judge Pope's re-election because of a potential conflict of interest due to an economic interest of myself, or my immediate family member. Please print my abstention in the House Journal for February 2, 2022.

Sincerely,
Representative William "Bill" Clyburn
District Number 82

STATEMENT FOR JOURNAL

I was temporarily out of the Chamber on constituent business during the vote on Circuit Court Judge, Second Judicial Circuit, Seat 1. If I had been present, I would have voted in favor of Judge Courtney Pope.
