\n<\/span>SC Personhood Amendment<\/u><\/b><\/span> – No Special Order Votes Taken, No Motion Period <\/span>in Senate April 19; Next Regular Session April 21
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Will Senators (27 R<\/a>, 18 D<\/a>) set S.719<\/a> for Special Order Thursday, April 21, 2016 ?
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>– We need to Poll Senators<\/a> for Commitment to Vote for Special Order for S.719<\/a>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

________________________
\n________________________
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>1) The SC Senate adjourned in less than 1 1\/2 hours today without even entering the Motion Period on the Senate Calendar<\/a> for April 19.\u00a0 So no votes for Special Order were taken; neither for H.3189<\/a>, nor S.719<\/a>.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>2) Tomorrow, April 20\u00a0 is only any ‘perfunctory’ Session as per the motion<\/a> of Senate President Pro-Tempore<\/i>, 35-year incumbent Senator Hugh Leatherman<\/a> ( R – Darlington, Florence ), who invoked a special Rule of the Senate ( Rule 1B<\/a>, p. 206 ) authorizing the President Pro-Tempore <\/i>to do so.\u00a0 Note<\/u>: The invoking of the Rule was\u00a0actually out of order because the Rule requires the motion be made “at least two (2) days prior” to it taking effect.\u00a0 However no Senator challenged the Rule violation, and so the motion was approved by the Senate.<\/p>\n

\n<\/b><\/span>Bryant: personhood bill may be pushed over transgender bill
\n<\/span><\/b>http:\/\/www.greenvilleonline.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2016\/04\/18\/bryant-personhood-bill-may-pushed-over-transgender-bill\/83188538\/<\/a>

COLUMBIA \u00ad The Upstate chairman of the committee that could take up a bill regulating the transgender use of public bathrooms says while he still thinks the bill can pass, he is more interested in having the Senate debate a bill giving rights to the unborn.<\/p>\n

Sen. Kevin Bryant of Anderson, chairman of the Senate General Committee, told The Greenville News on Monday he is prepared to move the transgender bill out of committee and onto the Senate calendar but knows whether the bill moves as the result of a vote at a committee meeting or polling committee members without a meeting, it still will draw a procedural objection by opponents that will require a vote of the Senate for the measure to be heard.<\/p>\n

Given the choice between focusing his efforts on persuading the Senate to take up the transgender bill or a bill establishing legal rights\u00a0for the unborn beginning at conception, also known as the “personhood” bill, Bryant said he would prefer to focus on the personhood bill.<\/p>\n

“My personal priority is the personhood constitutional amendment,” Bryant said.\u00a0 “I would like to see the bathroom bill pass this year. Personhood would be the priority for me.”<\/p>\n
