COLUMBIA, S.C. - A bill that would extend the terms of House members from two to four years and senators from four to six years is among more than 130 bills prefiled Wednesday by lawmakers.

The joint resolution, sponsored by Rep. Michael Pitts, R-Laurens, seeks a constitutional amendment to make the changes beginning in 2008.

Last week, House and Senate members prefiled 225 measures for the legislative session that begins Jan. 11. House members also may file Dec. 22.

Bills filed in both the Senate and the House seek to define a valid marriage as one between a man and a woman. Other bills in the Senate will again deal with judicial reform and the restructuring of state agencies.

Some other House bills include proposals on driver's license restrictions for minors less than 18 years old who are not enrolled in school or have not graduated from school, and a proposal to create the South Carolina Education and Economic Development Act that provides for the development of a curriculum organized around a career cluster system.
