Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

When our bodies are tired and our nerves are frayed, enable us to hear, O Lord, the voice from Heaven saying: "Come unto Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". We gratefully are given strength and receive courage from Your Words of assurance: "God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present Help". So in the midst of hectic hours and harassing happenings, we claim Your healing presence to restore our patience and to lead us into the paths we should go. Help us to think clearly, to speak wisely, to act rightly with a trust in God that keeps us steady as we hear the Divine promise: "God is with you in all that you do".

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.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. MAPPUS raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 218 was out of order as it was not germane in that the proposed tax would affect more than 50 percent of the population.

Rep. McEACHIN then stated that it was in violation of a Code Section.

Rep. SIMPSON argued contra the Point.

Rep. FARR then inquired about whether or not the tax would affect more than 50 percent of the population and who would be included in that population.

SPEAKER Pro Tempore J. ROGERS, citing Part B of 11-11-440 of the Code, stated that you could not put in new taxes that would affect more that 50 percent of the population.

Rep. LIMEHOUSE then stated if the House sometimes ignored the mandates of the Code with regards to funding, then the House could ignore the mandates of the Code with regards to prohibition.

Rep. McEACHIN then stated that there was ample precedence where the SPEAKER had ruled that 11-11-440 precluded any general tax increase being included in the General Appropriations Bill.

Rep. SIMPSON continued arguing contra the Point.

SPEAKER Pro Tempore J. ROGERS, citing 11-11-440 of the Code, sustained the Point of Order and ruled the amendment out of order.

So, the Bill, as amended, was read the second time and ordered to third reading.

RECORD FOR VOTING

Due to a death in my family I must leave while the budget process goes on. Had I been able to stay I would have voted against the budget in its present form. For a number of reasons.

1st - Cut in Public Education

2nd - Cut in State Emp. pay plan

3rd - Cut in Health and Human Services

Rep. C.D. CHAMBLEE

RECORD FOR VOTING

I respectfully cast no vote on this budget. While it is balanced and does not exaggerate anticipated income, it unfortunately does not spend state revenue in a fair manner. Until this State adopts a zero based budget we will not be able to cut state spending in a fiscally responsible manner and will not be able to adequately fund necessary programs while maintaining a hard line on tax increases.

Rep. JAMES C. JOHNSON

Rep. J.W. JOHNSON moved that the House do now adjourn, which was adopted.

ADJOURNMENT

At 5:40 P.M. the House in accordance with the motion of Rep. TUCKER adjourned in memory of Ernest Chamblee, Jr., Rep. C.D. Chamblee's brother to meet at 12:00 Noon, Tuesday, March 20.
