provided in Part IA of this act as ordinary expenses of the State Government
shall lapse on July 31, 2014 2015. State agencies are
required to submit all current fiscal year input documents and all electronic
workflow for accounts payable transactions to the Office of Comptroller General
by July 14, 2014 2015. Appropriations for Permanent
Improvements, now outstanding or hereafter provided, shall lapse at the end of

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.
The Budget and Control Board
is directed to provide to the Department of Education, funds equal to the
amount realized from the sale of the Greenville Halton Road Bus Shop property

remaining balance may be appropriated by the General Assembly as it deems
appropriate.

purposes.
118.8. (SR: Prohibits Public Funded Lobbyists) All state
agencies and institutions are prohibited from using general fund appropriations

the lobbying activities were not funded by general fund appropriations.
All state agencies and institutions are prohibited from entering

Unexpended
funds appropriated pursuant to this
subsection may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years and expended for
the same purposes.
(C) The source of revenue appropriated
in subsection (C) is unobligated Fiscal Year 2013-14 General Fund surplus
revenues collected above the amounts certified by the Board of Economic
Advisors. The appropriations are listed in
priority order. Item (1) must be funded first and each remaining item must be
fully funded before any funds are allocated to the next item. Provided,
however, that any individual item may be partially funded in the order in which
it appears to the extent that revenues are available.
The State Treasurer shall disburse the
following appropriations by September 30, 2014, for the purposes stated:
(1) F30
- Employee Benefits
Employee
Bonus - $300........................................................................................................ $ 10,000,000;
(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;
(3) the
Majority Leader of the House of Representatives;
(4) The
Minority Leader of the House of Representatives;
(5) the
President Pro Tempore of the Senate or his designee;
(6) the
Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee or his designee;
(7) the
Majority Leader of the Senate;
(8) the

(9) the
Governor or her designee;
(10) the
Executive Director of the Commission on Higher Education; and
(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.
