Extended Voting Considered in South Carolina House
The South Carolina House will calendar for next week a bill to extend absentee voting to workers away from home on employment or vacation and to the physically disabled and other groups. A companion mail registration measure also advances with support from the State Election Commission. The Judiciary Committee reported both bills after an 18 minute session. The House also passed a bill allowing first offense drunk drivers with conditional permits to attend an alcohol safety program and awaits Senate action on differences. The House backed a moot resolution urging President Ford to rescind a $1 per barrel oil tariff, a move criticized as not solving national problems. Additional measures would extend anti nepotism rules to county and municipal officials, and allow earlier teacher retirement with full benefits, reducing required years to 30 by 1980.
