Here are highlights of what got done -- and what didn't -- in week 19 of the S.C. General Assembly's 115th session:

STATE BUDGET

Senators on Thursday rejected plans to increase the sales tax and the cigarette tax to pay for education and health care programs. The Senate's version of the state's $5 billion budget now goes back to the House. The Senate spending plan is about $20 million less than the plan approved by the House in March. Senate Republican leaders say lawmakers will try again next week to find a way to put more money into health care programs. State Sen. John Land, D-Clarendon, says it is the worst budget the Senate has ever passed.

OFFICER MEMORIAL

The House overrode a veto by Gov. Mark Sanford on a bill that creates a memorial for law enforcement officers on State House grounds. The House spent two days debating the veto before overriding it Wednesday on an 89-21 vote. Although Sanford said he supports putting the monument on the State House grounds, he said he vetoed the measure last week because the $500,000 for the project could be better used by law enforcement agencies during the state's budget crunch. Veto supporters also argued that a monument to fallen officers already exists at the Criminal Justice Academy. But other members say it's important to honor the officers on State House grounds. Members also noted the money already was appropriated in last year's budget from a Department of Public Safety building fund.

TRAUMA CENTERS

Legislation to better fund the state's trauma centers, which care for some of the most critically injured patients, was introduced Wednesday. The bill would set up an advisory council to seek grants and a steady source of funding, such as extra fees on traffic tickets. The state's six most specialized trauma centers lost $18.3 million in 2001, but the legislation provides no immediate money and has a slim chance at passing this year since the Legislature adjourns June 5. The measure probably will be taken up next winter.

EDUCATION REFORM

The House this week passed education reform bills that were pushed by Gov. Mark Sanford. House members on Thursday approved the Streamlined Management and Accountable Resources for Teaching, or SMART, funding bill that would reform how education is funded. The bill would give school districts flexibility to spend funds as they see fit. On Wednesday, the House approved a bill that would add a conduct grade on a student's report card. Supporters say the bill would improve classroom discipline and expand character education in schools.

MINIBOTTLES

A House subcommittee approved a bill that would allow voters to decide whether to remove minibottles from the state constitution. The minibottle referendum bill passed the House Constitutional Laws subcommittee 4-1 on Thursday. Under the bill, legislators would establish methods for liquor sales. A separate bill on how that would be done is awaiting action on the House floor. Companion bills are waiting to be addressed on the Senate floor. The full Judiciary Committee is scheduled to debate the bill next week.

REDISTRICTING

The House Judiciary committee approved changes to more than 50 districts this week as members worked on a bill that would redraw election lines for representatives' seats. Members agreed to 54 changes -- most were minor and were initiated by legislators -- said House Judiciary Election Laws Subcommittee Chairman Gary Simrill, R-York. Republicans say the new plan reduces split voting precincts. Democrats say they want to make sure changes are minimal and that the plan doesn't divide communities. The full House will take up the bill next week.
