South Carolina House Journal - March 3, 1997 - South Carolina Legislature Online
Almighty and never changing God, Whose concern for Your people knows no end, enable us to rely increasingly upon Your care that we may place confidently in Your hands our welfare. Forbid that we should be so concerned and absorbed in preparing for a rainy day as to miss today's sunshine, that we should complain about the noise when it is opportunity knocking. Lord, make our lives windows of Your light and mirrors to reflect Your ways. Cause us to know that success is getting up more often that falling down.
Give us the confidence of the Psalmist: "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge." (Psalm 46:11) Amen.
Rep. LIMEHOUSE moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of former Rep. Theodore B. Guerard of Charleston, which was agreed to.

KELLY MCCALLA OF GREENWOOD, AN ELEMENTARY SCIENCE TEACHER AT OAKLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN GREENWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT 50, UPON BEING NAMED 1997 SOUTH CAROLINA TEACHER OF THE YEAR.
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives are very pleased to learn that Mrs. Kelly McCalla of Greenwood has been chosen the 1997 South Carolina Teacher of the Year; and
Whereas, she is an elementary science teacher at Oakland Elementary School in Greenwood School District 50 who was selected from among eighty-five nominees from throughout South Carolina; and
Whereas, her classroom is known as "The Magic Kingdom of Learning" where her students learn through hands-on, real-life experiences, whether they are feeding baby squirrels with an eyedropper, standing in the middle of a rippling river, or sitting on a blanket under the stars and identifying constellations; and
Whereas, this amazing teacher and educator is a graduate of Lander University, a mother of two, and believes that educators are role models not only in the classroom but also in the community. Whether she is volunteering to deliver Meals on Wheels, caroling at a nursing home, or working with a local program for needy children, she believes in being involved and involving others in creating positive role models for our children; and
Whereas, her efforts on behalf of education also extend beyond her students. She is a cooperating teacher for the Lander University Department of Education, where she serves as a teacher mentor for new teachers, and she has been designated as a lead teacher in the Teachers Leading Teachers National Science Foundation project.
Whereas, Kelly McCalla is unquestionably a role model who creates high and positive expectations for her students and is a person who inspires students and colleagues alike; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives, by this resolution, would like to publicly congratulate and honor this outstanding and gifted lady on her receipt of this truly deserved award. Now, therefore,
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives hereby congratulate Mrs. Kelly McCalla of Greenwood, an elementary science teacher at Oakland Elementary School in Greenwood School District 50, upon being named 1997 South Carolina Teacher of the Year.
Be it further resolved that pursuant to Rule 10.1, Mrs. McCalla shall be extended the privilege of the House Floor at a date and time to be determined by the Speaker for the purpose of being honored and recognized for this truly deserved award.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. McCalla.

Smith, Haskins, Harrell, Cato, Fleming and Klauber: A BILL TO AMEND SECTION 58-37-10, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES, SERVICES, AND CARRIERS, ENERGY SUPPLY AND EFFICIENCY, AND DEFINITIONS, SO AS TO DELETE THE DEFINITION OF "INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN"; TO AMEND SECTION 58-37-20, RELATING TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION ADOPT PROCEDURES ENCOURAGING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION, SO AS TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, AUTHORIZE, RATHER THAN REQUIRE, THE COMMISSION TO ADOPT SUCH PROCEDURES; AND TO REPEAL SECTION 58-37-40, RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES, SERVICES, AND CARRIERS, ENERGY SUPPLY AND EFFICIENCY, AND INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANS.
The Committee on Labor, Commerce and Industry proposed the following Amendment No. 1 (Doc Name P:\AMEND\BBM\9189JM.97), which was adopted.
/SECTION 1. Section 58-37-10(2) of the 1976 Code, as added by Part IV, Section 1 of Act 449 of 1992, is amended to read:
"(2) 'Integrated resource plan' means a plan which contains the demand and energy forecast for at least a fifteen-year period, contains the supplier's or producer's program for meeting the requirements shown in its forecast in an economic and reliable manner, including both demand-side and supply-side options, with a brief description and summary cost-benefit analysis, if available, of each option which was considered, including those not selected, sets forth the supplier's or producer's assumptions and conclusions with respect to the effect of the plan on the cost and reliability of energy service, and describes the external environmental and economic consequences of the plan to the extent practicable. For electrical utilities and public utilities providing gas services subject to the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Public Service Commission, this definition must be interpreted in a manner consistent with the integrated resource planning process adopted by the commission. For electric cooperatives subject to the regulations of the Rural Electrification Administration, this definition must be interpreted in a manner consistent with any integrated resource planning process prescribed by Rural Electrification Administration regulations."
SECTION 2. Section 58-37-20 of the 1976 Code, as added by Part IV, Section 1 of Act 449 of 1992, is amended to read:
"Section 58-37-20. The South Carolina Public Service Commission must may adopt procedures that encourage electrical utilities and public utilities providing gas services subject to the jurisdiction of the commission to invest in cost-effective energy efficient technologies and energy conservation programs. If adopted, these procedures must: provide incentives and cost recovery for energy suppliers and distributors who invest in energy supply and end-use technologies that are cost-effective, environmentally acceptable, and reduce energy consumption or demand;. These procedures must allow energy suppliers and distributors to recover costs and obtain a reasonable rate of return on their investment in qualified demand-side management programs sufficient to make these programs at least as financially attractive as construction of new generating facilities;. Require the Public Service Commission shall to establish rates and charges that ensure that the net income of an electrical or gas utility regulated by the commission after implementation of specific cost-effective energy conservation measures is at least as high as the net income would have been if the energy conservation measures had not been implemented. For purposes of this section only, the term 'demand-side activity' means a program conducted by an electrical utility or public utility providing gas services for the reduction or more efficient use of energy requirements of the utility or its customers, including, but not limited to, utility transmission and distribution system efficiency, customer conservation and efficiency, load management, cogeneration, and renewable energy technologies."
SECTION 3. Section 58-37-40(A) of the 1976 Code, as added by Part IV, Section 1 of Act 449 of 1992, is amended to read:
"(A) Electrical utilities, public utilities providing gas services, and the South Carolina Public Service Authority must prepare integrated resource plans. The South Carolina Public Service Authority and electrical and gas utilities regulated by the Public Service Commission must submit their plans to the State Energy Office. The plan submitted by the South Carolina Public Service Authority must be developed in consultation with electric cooperatives and municipally-owned electric utilities purchasing power and energy from the authority and must include the effect of demand-side management activities of electric cooperatives and municipally-owned electric utilities which directly purchase power and energy from the authority or sell power and energy which the authority generates. All plans must be submitted every three years and must be updated on an annual basis. The first integrated resource plan of the South Carolina Public Service Authority must be submitted no later than June 30, 1993. An integrated resource plan may be patterned after the integrated resource planning process developed by the Public Service Commission. For electrical utilities and public utilities providing gas services subject to the jurisdiction of the commission, submission of their plans as required by the commission constitutes compliance with this section. Nothing in this subsection may be construed as requiring interstate natural gas companies whose rates and services are regulated only by the federal government or gas utilities subject to the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Public Service Commission to prepare and submit an integrated resource plan."
SECTION 4. Section 58-37-40(F) of the 1976 Code is repealed.
SECTION 5. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor./

So, the motion to commit was tabled.
Rep. BAXLEY raised a Point of Order that under Rule 9.2, the chairman of any committee may be permitted to offer a technical amendment. He stated that Rep. Cato had previously offered an amendment to the Bill which was found to be out of order by the Speaker. He further stated that was his one opportunity to offer an amendment and having made that offer, he cannot offer further amendments to the Bill.
Rep. HASKINS argued contra in that the chairman had not yet had an opportunity to offer an amendment to the House because the first one was ruled out of order and it was not accepted by the House.
Rep. BAXLEY stated that the purpose of this particular rule is to prevent numerous amendments from being placed on the Desk.
SPEAKER WILKINS overruled the Point of Order and stated that the rule should not be so strictly construed that only one amendment can be offered by the chairman. The limitation of a chairman to one technical amendment would likely limit the ability to make needed technical corrections to a Bill. He overruled the Point of Order.
Rep. CATO proposed the following Amendment No. 37 (Doc Name P:\AMEND\DKA\4175MM.97), which was adopted.
/ SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor and applies to causes of action, including appeals, pending on that date and actions filed on and after that date; except that class actions pending as of the date this bill passes third reading in the House of Representatives, may proceed, but with remedies pursuant to Section 37-10-105 as amended in Section 1 of this act. /

I voted against H. 3272. It is, in concept, a good Bill. I applaud its sponsors for correcting a bad law which allowed somebody to collect damages when they had not suffered any damage. Unfortunately, this Bill also goes back and takes rights away from people who were only applying the law. I didn't vote for the bad law so I can't apologize for it. I'd like to fix it now, but not punish anyone who was following the law before now. Also, this Bill says that this law is effective and punishes those law-abiding people when it receives third reading from the House: before the Senate or the Governor have a chance to look at it!
