VETOES
The House on Wednesday took the following action on bills that
Gov. Mark Sanford vetoed while the General Assembly was not in
session last year:
Overriden
House members overrode vetoes on bills that would:
• Require that nonfranchise car
dealers complete at least eight hours of education courses before
they can be issued a license to sell cars (H. 3831)
• Allow commercial landlords the
right to enter and inspect leased property (H. 3507)
• Allow property owners to
designate their property as fireworks-free zones (H. 3409)
• Create an acupuncture advisory
committee, set billing practices for anatomic pathological services,
and affect registration for cardiovascular invasive specialists (H.

Sustained
House members did not override vetoes on bills that would:
• Allow the surviving spouse of a
person who donated his organs to claim a $1,000 income tax credit
(H. 5085)
• Affect transfers of
prescriptions between pharmacists, licensing requirements for hair
braiders, and certification requirements for cardiovascular invasive
specialists (H. 4455)
• Change licensing requirements
for optometrists and hair braiders, and registration requirements
for cardiovascular invasive specialists (H. 4821)
• Require individuals,
veterinarians, and employees of the Department of Social Services to

and Environmental Control to stop issuing ambulance service licenses
for no more than 120 days or until the agency has enough staff to
enforce existing requirements (H. 5136)
In the Senate
Sanford’s vetoes went 1-for-2 in the Senate Wednesday, when
senators:
• Overrode the governor’s veto on
a bill that would allow college students who do work-study while in
school to buy into the S.C. Retirement System (S. 0852); and
• Sustained Sanford’s veto of a
bill that would do many things, including increase penalties for
attacking a teacher as well as create a commission aimed at
protecting the state’s military bases from closure (S. 131).
• The Senate could deal today with
vetoes overriden by the House.
