What's New
SENATE
Floor debate in the Senate this week continued to center on ethics reform. On Tuesday, Senator Larry Martin (R-Pickens) made a successful motion to move H.3186 to the Special Order portion of the Senate calendar. H. 3186, by Representative Kirkman Finlay (R-Richland), would require law makers to disclose private sources of income on their statements of economic interests. The bill received second reading on Wednesday and remains in Special Order status along with a companion ethics bill, H. 3184. Senator Hugh Leatherman (R-Florence) took a point of personal interest on Thursday to address the body concerning the issue of “dark money.” He informed members of the Senate that he intends to take up H. 3189, another ethics bill from the House by Representative Finlay, which deals specifically with reporting requirements for independent expenditures and electioneering communications that are made to influence the outcome of an election. An attempt to replace H. 3189 in the status of Special Order failed prior to adjournment. Debate on the various ethics bills will continue on the floor next week.
In addition to the debate on ethics, the Senate also passed S. 1075, the natural gas incentive bill by Senator Paul Campbell (R-Berkeley). This legislation encourages commercial fleets to convert to LNG or CNG through vehicle purchase or conversion incentives, infrastructure incentives, an additional weight exemption, and a property tax adjustment to compensate for the additional expense of a natural gas vehicle.
Another bill of interest that received third reading was H. 3706 by Representative Joshua Putnam (R-Anderson). This bill allows authorized entities to keep supplies of epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPens) in stock in order to administer this potentially life-saving medication to those who are experiencing severe allergic reactions. The legislation also autorizes physicians or other prescribers to issues prescriptions to authorize entities for EpiPens. The EpiPens may be administered by designated individuals who have completed the required training regarding proper use and recognition of the symptoms of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
The Senate Judiciary Committee met Tuesday on several bills including S. 1015, by Senator Leatherman, relating to counterfeit or nonfunctional airbags. The Committee adopted the Subcommittee’s amendment to the bill that expands the definition of a “nonfunctional airbag” to include any related component that could deceive a vehicle owner or operator into believing that the airbag was functional. The amendment also tightens the standard for proving violations and the issuance of various levels of penalties. The bill was reported favorably as amended and is now pending second reading on the Senate calendar.
The Committee also held extensive debate on S. 1087 by Senator Greg Gregory (R-Lancaster). This legislation provides factors for the Family Court to consider when determining the existence of changed circumstances related to modification, confirmation, or termination of alimony. The bill received a favorable report and is now pending on the Senate Calendar.
The Senate Finance Committee met throughout the week to work on provisos recommendations in preparation for reporting a budget bill to the full Senate. These meetings will continue next week. To view the preliminary proviso handouts, please click here.
The Senate is scheduled to begin floor debate on H. 5001 (Appropriations Bill) and H. 5002 (Capital Reserve Fund) during the week of April 25th.

Senator Joel Lourie (D-Richland), who served on the Subcommittee, made a statement that the bill would not pass this year and that he would use any procedural means possible to keep the bill from passing. The cross-over deadline for bills is May 1, 2016. S. 1203 is now eligible to be taken up by the full General Committee at a time to be determined.
