     118.2.   (SR: Titling of Real Property)  It is the intent of the General Assembly to establish a comprehensive central property and office facility management process to plan for the needs of state government agencies and to achieve maximum efficiency and economy in the use of state owned or state leased real properties.  The Budget and Control Board is directed to identify all state owned properties whether titled in the name of the state or an agency or department, and all agencies and departments of state government are upon request to provide the Board all documents related to the title and acquisition of the real properties that are occupied or used by the agency or titled in the name of the agency.  Except for any properties where the Board determines title should not be in the name of the State because the properties are subject to reverter clauses or other restraints on the property, or where the Board determines the state would be best served by not receiving title, and with the exception of properties, highways and roadways owned by the Department of Transportation, title of any property held by or acquired by a state agency or department shall be titled in the name of the state under the control of the Budget and Control Board.  Titling in the name of the state shall not affect the operation or use of real property by an agency.

     This provision applies to all state agencies and departments except: institutions of higher learning; the Public Service Authority; the Ports Authority; the South Carolina Division of Public Railways; the MUSC Hospital Authority; the Myrtle Beach Air Force Redevelopment Authority; the Department of Transportation; the Midlands Technical College Enterprise Campus Authority, the Trident Technical College Enterprise Campus Authority; the Area Commission of Tri-County Technical College; and the Charleston Naval Complex Redevelopment Authority.

     This provision is comprehensive and supersedes any conflicting provisions concerning title and acquisition and disposition of state owned real property whether in permanent law, temporary law or by provision elsewhere in this act.

     (B)    (1)    If the balance in the general reserve fund established pursuant to Section 36, Article III of the Constitution of this State and Section 11-11-310 of the 1976 Code is less than the required balance, there must be appropriated to it all amounts in the Contingency Reserve Fund up to the total necessary to replenish the general reserve fund.  This amount does not replace or supplant the minimum replenishment amount otherwise required to be made to the general reserve fund.

     118.4.   (SR: Criminal Justice Academy Funding)  (A) In addition to all other assessments and surcharges, during the current fiscal year, a five dollar surcharge to fund training at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy is also levied on all fines, forfeitures, escheatments, or other monetary penalties imposed in the general sessions court or in magistrates’ or municipal court for misdemeanor traffic offenses or for non-traffic violations.  No portion of the surcharge may be waived, reduced, or suspended.  The additional surcharge imposed by this section does not apply to parking citations.

     (B) The revenue collected pursuant to subsection (A) must be retained by the jurisdiction, which heard or processed the case and paid to the State Treasurer within thirty days after receipt.  The State Treasurer shall transfer the revenue quarterly to the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy.

     (C) The State Treasurer may request the State Auditor to examine the financial records of any jurisdiction which he believes is not timely transmitting the funds required to be paid to the State Treasurer pursuant to subsection (B).  The State Auditor is further authorized to conduct these examinations and the local jurisdiction is required to participate in and cooperate fully with the examination.

     118.8.   (SR: Prohibits Public Funded Lobbyists)  All state agencies and institutions are prohibited from using general fund appropriations to compensate employees who engage in lobbying on behalf of the state agency or institution.  The State Ethics Commission shall require state agencies and institutions that report lobbying activities to the commission to certify that the lobbying activities were not funded by general fund appropriations.

     All state agencies and institutions are prohibited from entering into contracts using general fund appropriations to provide lobbying services to the agency or institution.

     118.9.   (SR: Admissions Tax)  For the current fiscal year, up to one hundred fourteen thousand dollars in admissions tax revenue collected annually from all events held at a NASCAR sanctioned motor speedway or racetrack that hosts at least one race each year featuring the preeminent NASCAR cup series must be rebated to the motorsports entertainment complex facility in the current fiscal year to keep a NASCAR race at the motorsports entertainment complex facility.  In addition, any sports facility that hosts at least one preeminent Women’s Tennis Association-sanctioned tournament or any sports facility that operates as the home venue for a professional soccer team that participates in the United Soccer Leagues, second division or higher, must be rebated to the facility half of its admissions tax revenue for the fiscal year and used by that facility for marketing the events held at the facility.

     118.10.     (SR: Agency Deficit Notice)  The Comptroller General or the Office of State Budget Executive Budget Office shall (1) provide written notice to each member of the General Assembly when it makes a report to the Budget and Control Board concerning an agency, department, or institution that is expending authorized appropriations at a rate which predicts or projects a general fund deficit for the agency, department, or institution, and (2) make monthly progress reports concerning an agency’s, department’s, or institution’s plan to reduce or eliminate the deficit.

     118.11.     (SR: Tax Relief Reserve Fund)  There is created the Tax Relief Reserve Fund, which shall be separate and distinct from the General Fund.

     The State Treasurer shall disburse the following appropriations by September 30, 2014, for the purposes stated:

          (1)     F30 - Employee Benefits

          (1.1) The funds appropriated above in item (1) for Employee Bonus - $300 must be utilized to provide a one-time $300 bonus for state employees which shall be allocated to the various state agencies in the same manner as the employee compensation increase is allocated in proviso 101.21 contained herein.  Effective on the first pay day after October 1, 2014, each state employee who has been in continuous state service since June 2, 2014, is eligible to receive this onetime lump-sum payment.  This payment is not a part of the state employee’s base salary and is not earnable compensation for purposes of employer or employee contributions to respective retirement systems.  This appropriation may be used for payments to employees only in the same ratio as the employee’s base salary is paid from appropriated sources.  If $10,000,000 excess revenue does not become available, then this item is considered deleted.

          For Fiscal Year 2014-15, the Executive Budget Office is directed to review Executive Branch agencies to determine whether their budgets warrant an other fund authorization increase due to the $300 employee bonus granted above.  If so warranted, the Executive Budget Office shall work with the Office of the Comptroller General to increase such authorization for the affected agencies.

     (D)   The funds provided in this act for the Higher Education Efficiency, Effectiveness and Accountability Review shall be utilized by a nine member steering committee to procure, execute, and oversee implementation of the South Carolina Higher Education Efficiency, Effectiveness and Accountability Review.  The committee shall serve as the primary client for the vendor selected to complete the review.  When selecting the vendor, the committee must follow the competitive bidding process as set forth in the State's Consolidated Procurement Code.  Appointments to the committee shall include:

              (1)    the Speaker of the House of Representatives or his designee;

              (2)    the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee or his designee;

              (11)  a college or university president, a college or university trustee and a college or university chief financial officer, each selected by a majority vote of the Commission on Higher Education.

     After public discussion by the committee of the survey responses collected by the Commission on Higher Education as required below, of the institutions provided funds in this act for the Higher Education Efficiency, Effectiveness and Accountability Review, the committee shall select every institution, a pilot group of institutions, or a pilot institution to participate in an efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability review. 

     Upon the selection by the committee of the institution or institutions to be included in the review, an institution shall be notified of its inclusion.  The committee shall notify an included institution of the amount of the funds it must transfer to the committee to complete the review, and the institution shall transfer the funds.  However, the committee may not request an amount from an institution that exceeds the amount provided to it in this act for this purpose.  Additionally, to the extent documented as necessary by the committee, the committee may request up to one-third of the funds provided for this purpose from each institution that is not selected for review, provided that the request is made of each institution not selected for review and the request is for an equal percentage of funds to be transferred from each institution not selected for review. 

     Funds provided in this act to an institution that is not selected for review and that are not requested for use by the committee may be utilized by the institution, but only for one-time expenses to maintain, repair, or replace life, safety, and/or other critical infrastructure, equipment and facility systems of the institution.

     At institutions selected for review, to the extent that there are direct costs associated with implementation of the vendors recommendations, funds not utilized by the committee for the review should be used by the institution to implement the vendor's recommendations.  If no direct costs are associated with implementing the vendor's recommendations, or if funds remain after expending the funds necessary for implementation, an institution may use the balance but only for one-time expenses to maintain, repair, or replace life, safety, and/or other critical infrastructure, equipment and facility systems of the institution.  Further, any funds transferred to the committee by an institution, but not utilized by the committee for the review, must be transferred back to the institution and may only be used by the institution for implementing vendor recommendations or for one-time expenses that maintain, repair, or replace life, safety, and/or other critical infrastructure, equipment and facility systems of the institution, or a combination of both.

     The committee shall deliver the vendor's findings and recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly by February 1, 2015.  Each institution selected for review is strongly encouraged to implement the recommendations identified by the review.  It is the intent of the General Assembly that any savings realized from these reviews shall be retained by each institution.

     The Commission on Higher Education, on behalf of the committee, must survey each institution that is provided funds in this act for the Higher Education Efficiency, Effectiveness and Accountability Review to determine if the institution has already undergone, is currently undergoing, or has contracted to undergo an internal or external performance improvement audit, operating efficiency study, or similar cost management review.  The survey shall ascertain whether or not the review was internal or external, when the review was completed, when it will be completed (if ongoing), or when it anticipates it will begin (if already planned or contracted).  The vendor name if an external review team or the composition of the review team, including their credentials, if internal, must be included, as must the scope of the review and its cost.  For institutions where a review has been completed, it must report the findings, recommendations, or action items that were identified by the review team, if any, including estimated cost savings associated with the items.  Further, a listing of findings, recommendations or action items of the review team that have already been implemented by the institution, including cost savings or efficiencies that have been realized as a result, must be documented.  Findings or recommendations made by the review team, but not yet implemented by the institution, if any, must be explained by the institution.  Survey results must be provided by the Commission on Higher Education to the committee no later than August 1, 2014.  After public discussion of the survey responses, the committee shall select the institutions for the review.

     (E)    From the escrow account established pursuant to Proviso 90.13 of Act 310 of 2008, the remaining funds shall be used to offset any operating shortfalls resulting from the Barnwell Low Level Waste Facility operations in order to preserve the economic viability of the facility.  The amount distributed to offset any operating shortfalls shall be determined by calculating the difference between the allowable operating costs plus adjustments as approved by the Public Service Commission, and the access fees paid by the Atlantic Compact generators.  Funds remaining in the account to offset operating shortfalls shall also be used to maintain access fees to the facility for Fiscal Year 2014-15 at the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 level.  There shall also be paid from the escrow account the annual dues of the Southern States Energy Board.
