Our thought for today is from Psalm 19: "The commandment of the Lord gives light to the eyes."

Let us pray. Father, thank You for setting into motion a promise that would be a blessing for all people. Help these Your children as they thrive to be good citizens of our State and Nation. Make us grateful for those who protect and defend our Nation and State. Guide these Representatives and Staff to do the right thing for the right reason. Bless and keep our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Bestow Your blessings on our Armed Forces and especially for those in harm's way. Keep in Your love and care for our men and women who suffer from hidden wounds. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

/ (DHHS: Family Planning Funds) The Department of Health and Human Services may not accept federal funds for family planning. None of the state funds appropriated for family planning may be expended to directly or indirectly subsidize abortion services or procedures or administrative functions and none of the funds appropriated herein may be paid or granted to an organization that provides abortion services. An otherwise qualified organization may not be disqualified from receipt of these funds because of its affiliation with an organization that provides abortion services, provided that the affiliated organization that provides abortion services is independent of the qualified organization. An independent affiliate that provides abortion services must be separately incorporated from any organization that receives these funds. An organization that provides abortion services where the life of the mother is at risk and the termination of the pregnancy is incidental to the lifesaving intervention is excepted from the above restriction on state family planning funds and may receive state family planning funds, provided that the physician shall act in accordance with the standard of care to preserve both the life of the mother and the life of the pre-born child./

SPEAKER IN CHAIR

Rep. MAGNUSON continued speaking.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. WETMORE raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 24 was not germane to the bill under Rule 5.3.B.1.
Speaker G.M. SMITH stated that Rule 5.3.B was adopted in 2022 and that he was bound by the precedents from 2023. He said that the rule had been changed in 2022 to require that the principal, chief, or primary effect of an amendment to the annual general appropriations bill must be directly related to the appropriation of funds or the raising of revenue or be a rule, directive, or regulation directly related to the appropriation of funds or raising revenue. He stated that he had to look for the principal purpose or intent of the amendment. The Speaker stated further that it was his view that the amendment was drafted to effect what entities would receive funds for purposes of family planning. He stated that he was overruling the Point of Order.

Rep. HEWITT spoke against the amendment.

Rep. HEWITT moved to table the amendment.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. HEWITT raised the Point of Order that Amendment No. 26 was not germane under Rule 5.3.B.
Rep. MCCABE argued contra.
Speaker SMITH stated that although the Amendment tried to mention the appropriation of funds, the principal effect of the amendment was to control DJJ's policies concerning the housing of youth in group homes. He stated further that because the amendment's principal effect did not concern the appropriation of funds or raising of revenue that he would sustain the Point of Order. He ruled the amendment to not be germane.

Rep. BEACH proposed the following Amendment No. 37 (Doc Name COUNCIL\DG\5100C002.CC.DG24.DOCX), which was tabled:
Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 38, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, page 395, after line 11, by adding an appropriately numbered paragraph to read:
/ (DSS: Foster care grants) From the funds appropriated to the Department of Social Services, the department may develop a grant program to provide churches and qualifying non-profit organizations grants of up to $30,000 for providing assistance to the foster care system. A grant recipient only may use the grant funding to recruit and train individuals that provide foster care for medically fragile children or teenagers. To qualify for a grant, the qualifying non-profit organization must be in good standing with the Secretary of State's Office and the Internal Revenue Service, and the organization must be a vendor in the South Carolina Enterprise Information System. The department shall develop the rules and standards of the grant program, including but not limited to assistance requirements, grant criteria, and the application and awarding process.
