Indicates Matter StrickenIndicates New Matter
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.Deliberations were opened with prayer by Dr. Bradley D. Smith,
Senior Pastor of Eastminster Presbyterian Church, as follows:
Lord, I do not know these people’s names or hurts or hearts. But You do. You know their dreams and fears, their joys and worries. Thank You. Thank You
Today I pray, O Master of all people and all history, that You will grant these, Your created ones, the humility to listen for Your voice among all voices, the character to follow Your leading, and the grace to do Your will.
The words of this prayer will soon be forgotten, O God, but the decisions of this Body and the spirit in which they deliberate them will be greatly noticed and long remembered.
Shepherd this flock, fill each man and woman with Your kingdom vision, give them a spirit of statesmanship that is bigger than themselves, big enough, O Lord, even to be Your will.
This we pray, giving thanks that You are our rock and redeemer. Amen.

Smith, J. E. Smith, Sottile, Southard, Spires, Stavrinakis, Stringer, Tallon, Taylor, Thayer, Tinkler, Toole, Weeks, Wells, Whipper, White, Whitmire, Williams, Willis and Yow: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE PASSING OF THE NINE MEMBERS OF MOTHER EMANUEL AME CHURCH IN CHARLESTON WHOSE LIVES WERE TRAGICALLY CUT SHORT, TO CELEBRATE THEIR LIVES, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THEIR FAMILIES AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is deeply saddened by the untimely deaths of the nine members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston who on June 17, 2015, were attacked and slain by
4730
TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2015
a gunman during a Wednesday night prayer meeting and Bible study at the church; and
Whereas, the General Assembly realizes that words are inadequate to express fully the grief of this State and nation concerning the tragedy that took place that night at Mother Emanuel. Nor can mere words bring full comfort to those most affected by this horrific loss. However, the families and friends of the victims may take comfort in the Word of God as recorded in Psalm 116:15 (KJV), “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints,” as well as in knowing that the nine who were taken from us were prepared to meet the Lord at any time, all of them being believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. We remember them today, utilizing the words of United States Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, spoken before his colleagues on the Senate floor on June 24, 2015:
We honor the Reverend Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, a beloved teacher and coach at Goose Creek High School. Her son, Chris, has shown us all what an amazing mother she was through his strength over the past six days.
We honor Cynthia Hurd, whose love for education has been shared with so many over her thirty-one years as a librarian in the public library system.
We honor Susie Jackson, who at eighty-seven years young still offered her beautiful voice to the choir and had recently returned from visiting her family in Ohio.
We honor Ethel Lee Lance, who served her church with pride and whose daughter calls her the “strong woman who just tried to keep her family together.”
We honor Depayne Middleton-Doctor, who dedicated her life to serving the poor and helping her students as an enrollment counselor at Southern Wesleyan University.
We honor [our] good friend, Reverend Clementa Pinckney, an amazing man of faith…, a wonderful father and husband, and a respected South Carolina state senator.
4731
TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2015
We honor Tywanza Sanders, beloved son of Tyrone and Felicia, whose warmth and heartfelt spirit have kept us moving.
We honor the Reverend Daniel Simmons, Sr., whose granddaughter said, “My granddaddy was an amazing man. It seemed like every time he spoke, it was pure wisdom.”
We honor Pastor Myra Thompson, who served the Lord with grace and dignity. She loved her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren; and
Whereas, we do not limit our thoughts on this unspeakable calamity to the event itself; rather, we rejoice in the wonderfully astonishing, even miraculous, outpouring of reconciliation, forgiveness, love, and generous giving that have followed an action meant to cause racial division. A few examples of this marvelous deluge of grace must suffice to show the whole; and
Whereas, uncounted prayer meetings for the church, the families of the victims, and the City of Charleston have been held throughout this nation, and compassionate expressions of sympathy, encouragement, and admiration have poured in from people across America and beyond; and
Whereas, to show their support for Mother Emanuel AME Church, thousands of Charleston residents of all faiths, races, and ages formed a “Bridge to Peace” unity chain that extended all the way across the Arthur Ravenel Bridge; and
Whereas, about twenty members of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Environmental Services Department, who are trained in cleaning up operating rooms and trauma units, volunteered to clean Mother Emanuel’s fellowship hall, the site of the tragedy, and MUSC donated the supplies; and
Whereas, numerous groups and individuals have contributed, as of June 29, 2015, nearly a million dollars to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund, set up by the City of Charleston to help defray funeral costs for the families of the victims and other expenses; and
4732
TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2015
Whereas, most inspiring of all, the immediate forgiveness extended to the gunman by the victims’ families, even in the face of great pain and loss, has loosed a mighty wind of reconciliation in this land like nothing we have witnessed in living memory. It has brought forth a nationwide desire to take action that proves this reconciliation is heart-deep commitment, not merely words. For these blessings, we give thanks to Almighty God, and we pray He will increase this new spirit within us in the days ahead as we continue our earnest prayers for the families of the victims and Mother Emanuel AME Church; and
Whereas, these responses to the tragedy of nine families and Mother Emanuel AME Church showed South Carolina at its very best and, again, in the words of Senator Tim Scott, “was absolutely the best of who we are as Americans.” Mother Emanuel AME and the families of the Mother Emanuel Nine have led us to this place, and we bless them for it. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of the nine members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston whose lives were tragically cut short, celebrate their lives, and extend the deepest sympathy to their families and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the families of the Reverend Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Cynthia Hurd, Susie Jackson, Ethel Lee Lance, Depayne Middleton-Doctor, the Reverend Clementa Pinckney, Tywanza Sanders, the Reverend Daniel Simmons, Sr., and Pastor Myra Thompson.
The Concurrent Resolution was agreed to and ordered sent to the Senate.

STATEMENT FOR THE JOURNALI do not oppose having a healthy debate and vote on S. 897, but I
strongly believe that it is important for the public to be heard on any controversial decision which must be made. In light of the Attorney General’s opinion that deciding this issue by referendum would be in violation of the South Carolina Constitution, it is unlikely there will be a referendum, making the subcommittee process even more vital.
Unfortunately, the S.C. House chose to overrule my efforts to send S. 897 to the Judiciary Committee for a public hearing. In doing so, the House deprived the public of their only opportunity to have any direct input on this issue.
Rep. Jonathon Hill
Rep. QUINN moved to dispense with the balance of the Motion Period, which was agreed to.
Rep. WILLIAMS moved that the House do now adjourn, which was agreed to.
ADJOURNMENTAt 2:02 p.m. the House, in accordance with the motion of Rep.
HORNE, adjourned in memory of Herman Elroy Muckenfuss of Jedburg, to meet at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
