satisfactory evidence of the propriety of the payment, and
itemized according to standard budget classifications, the
Comptroller General shall issue his warrant on the State
Treasurer to the payee designated in the requisition. Provided,
However, That upon approval and designation by the State Budget

expenditures according to standard budget classifications. All
money shall be drawn only when actually owing and due.
Sec. 124. All departments, institutions and agencies of the State
having revenue funds other than State appropriated funds
available for operations, shall use such revenue before
appropriations from the State's General Fund are expended or
requisitioned. Provided, However, The Budget and Control Board
may waive this requirement when, in its opinion, such a procedure
is not practicable. Provided, Further, That no funds shall be
requisitioned from such appropriations except to meet actual
operating obligations of the year for which such appropriations

carried in a special continuing account by the State Treasurer,
to the credit of the respective institutions, and may be
requisitioned by said institutions, in the manner prescribed in
Section 123 of this Act, and expended to fulfill the purpose for
which such fees or income were levied, but no part of such income
shall be used for permanent improvements without the express
written approval of the State Budget and Control Board and the

State purposes, and to make and issue and to enforce all
necessary, needful, and convenient rules and regulations for the
enforcement of this provision and to approve the destruction or
disposal of records of no value to the State. Provided, Further,

mendation basis.
Sec. 138. Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the State Treasurer may enter into contracts whereby the
agency or institution may accept credit cards as payment for
goods or services provided.
Sec. 139. Any appropriations made herein or by special act now or
hereafter, are hereby declared t,o be maximum, conditional and
proportionate, the purpose being to make them payable in full in
the amount named herein, if necessary, but only in the event the
aggregate revenues available during the period for which the
appropriation is made are sufficient to pay them in full. The
State Budget and Control Board shall have full power and
authority to survey the progress of the collection of revenue and
the expenditure of funds by all departments and institutions, and
is hereby authorized and directed to make such reductions of
appropriations as may be necessary to prevent a deficit;
Provided, That no institution or activity for which the General
Assembly has herein provided shall be discontinued.
Provided, Further, That any reduction of appropriations by the
said Board, under authority of this Act, shall be applied as
uniformly as may be practicable except that no reduction shall be
applied to any part of such appropriations which may be
encumbered by a written contract with an agency not connected
with the State Government; and Provided, Further, That in making
such reductions any amounts of State revenues allocated by law to
Counties and Municipalities (commonly referred to as Aid to
Subdivisions) shall be subject to reduction the same as

notified of any such action by the Board. Provided, Further, That
no such reduction shall be ordered by the State Budget and
Control Board while the General Assembly is in session without

reports. They shall be made available on or before January first
to each member of the General Assembly at his request and to the

reimbursement are supported by properly documented vouchers
processed through the normal accounting procedures of such
institutions.
Sec. 148. The funds appropriated to each agency or institution
for payment of employer contributions for state employees shall
be used for that purpose only and it is intended that the amount
so provided to each agency or institution shall be sufficient to
pay the employee contribution costs of that agency. The Budget
and Control Board is directed to devise a plan for the
expenditure of the funds appropriated for employer contributions
and may require transfers of funds within an agency or
institution if it becomes evident that the employer contribution
costs will exceed the funds available for that purpose.
Sec. 149. The General Assembly hereby expresses its grave concern
over the control of the number of personnel employed by the State
of South Carolina. It is further declared to be the intent of the
General Assembly to take positive steps to control and restrict
the number of personnel employed in the future, without unduly
hampering the legitimate functions of state government.
In order to increase the efficiency of state government,
promote economy and reduce costs, the Budget and Control Board is
hereby directed to maintain close supervision over the number of
state employees, and to require specifically the following:
1. That no state agency exceed the authorized number of
positions funded from state, federal, or other sources as
provided in each section of this Act EXCEPT BY UNANIMOUS VOTE of
the Budget and Control Board after review and comment by the
Joint Legislative Committee on Personal Service Financing and
Budgeting. Specific written confirmation of such unanimous
approval shall be forwarded to each member of the Joint
Appropriations Review Committee in the event that any agency is
allowed to exceed the number of positions authorized in this Act.
2. That the State Auditor shall maintain and make, as
necessary, periodic adjustments thereto, an official record of
the total number of authorized positions by agency categorized by
State, Federal and Other funding sources and shall provide a
certified duplicate of such record and adjustments thereto to the
Joint Legislative Committee on Personal Service Financing and
Budgeting. No position shall be established by the State
Personnel Division in excess of the number authorized in the
State Auditor's record.
(a) That within thirty (30) days of the passage of this Act,
or by August 1, 1981, whichever comes later, each agency of the
State must have established on the State Personnel Division
records all positions authorized in this Act. After that date,
the State Auditor shall delete any non-established positions
immediately from the official record of authorized positions.
(b) That with-in forty-five (45) days of the passage of this
act, or by August 15, 1981, whichever comes later, each agency of
the State shall submit to the State Auditor a personal service
detail which shows each position established for FY 1981-82 and
the amount of funds required, by source of funds, to support the
position for FY 1981-82 at a funding level of 100% and each
agency's personal service detail shall then be reconciled with
the agency's total personal service appropriation as contained in
this act adjusted for base pay increases, merit increment
allocation and any other factors necessary to reflect the
agency's personal service funding level. The State Auditor shall
provide a copy of each agency's personal service detail to the
Budget and Control Board and to the Joint Legislative Committee
on Personal Service Financing and Budgeting.
(c) That the State Auditor is authorized, upon the approval
of the Budget and Control Board and the Joint Legislative
Committee on Personal Service Financing and Budgeting, to delete
any positions which are shown by the reconciliation to be
unfunded or significantly under funded.
(d) Subsequent to the establishment of all authorized positions
as mandated in Paragraph 2A, of this Section, and thirty (30)
days after the completion of the reconciliation required under
Paragraph 2B of this Section, the State Auditor and the State
Personnel Division shall convert all positions contained in the
official record to FTE's under the following guidelines:
1. The annual work hours for each FTE shall be the Agency's
full-time standard annual work hours.
2. The State FTE shall be derived by multiplying the State
percentage of budgeted funds for each position by the FTE for
that position.
3. All institutions of higher education shall use a value of
0.75 FTE for each position determined to be full-time faculty
with a duration of nine (9) or more months.
Beginning with the 1982-83 General Appropriation Act the FTE
method of accounting for all authorized positions shall be
utilized.
3. That the number of positions authorized in this Act shall be
reduced in the following circumstances:
(a) when a position has been vacant for nine months.
(b) when anticipated federal funds for such positions are
denied.
(c) when the Budget and Control Board, through study or
analysis, becomes aware of any unjustifiable excess of positions
in any State agency.
4. That the State Budget and Control Board shall submit monthly
reports to the Joint Legislative Committee on Personal Service
Financing and Budgeting. Such reports shall include any changes
in the authorized number of positions, the number of filled and
vacant positions and any other data requested by the Committee.
*5. That, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, all
funds appropriated for new positions in this Act shall be used to
fund those positions only. Any funds not used for this specific
purpose shall be returned to the General Fund; provided, further,
that no expenditures shall be made from the category "New
Positions"; provided, further, that upon passage of the 1981-82
Appropriation Bill and after the signature of the Governor, the
Budget and Control Board shall have the authority to approve the
agency request to transfer the category "New Positions" into the
Classified or Unclassified Personal Service Accounts and corre-
sponding Employer Contributions Accounts as the need is estab-
lished; provided, further, that each State agency with new posi-
tions funded in this Act shall file a report with the Joint
Legislative Committee on Personal Service Financing and Budgeting
and the State Auditor by July 15, 1982, indicating the date the
new

position was established, the date filled, the annual salary, the
amount expended during the fiscal year for salary and fringe
benefits and the amount returned to the General Fund.
6. That no new permanent positions in state government shall be
funded by appropriations in acts supplemental to this act but
temporary positions may be so funded.
7. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to personnel
exempt from the State Classification and Compensation Plan under
Item I of Section 8-11-260 of the 1976 Code.
Sec. 150. That unless specifically authorized herein, the appro-
priations provided in Part I of this Act as ordinary operating
expenses of the State Government shall lapse on July 31, 1982.
Provided, That on July 31, 1982, the Budget and Control Board may
authorize an extension of not exceeding 31 days for the ex-
penditure of funds to pay for outstanding commitments of employer
contributions and assistance payments. The Budget and Control
Board may authorize such accounting procedures as may be neces-
sary to accomplish this purpose. Provided, That appropriations
for permanent improvements, or for other specific purposes aside
from ordinary operating expenses, now outstanding or hereafter
provided, shall lapse at the end of the second fiscal year
following the close of the fiscal year in which such
appropriations were provided, unless definite commitments shall
have been made, with the approval of the State Budget and Control
Board, toward the accomplishment of the purposes for which the
appropriations were provided.
Sec. 151. In order to establish a more uniform schedule for state
agencies to follow in reimbursing physicians for medical services
rendered on behalf of such agencies and institutions, the State
Budget and Control Board and the Health Care Planning and
Oversight Committee of the Legislature is hereby authorized and
directed to develop recommendations for the implementation of a
uniform fee schedule to govern such reimbursement mechanisms
taking into account the California Relative Value Studies or
other possible alternatives in recommending a uniform
reimbursement schedule within the shortest time frame as is

the purpose of computing the allocation of merit increment funds
to the various agencies and institutions, it is assumed that the
average merit review date for both classified and unclassified
employees shall be January 1 of the fiscal year.
Provided, Further, It is the intention of the General Assembly

matters as are relevant. The committee may call members of the
Legislature and any other persons to appear and give testimony
that will enable the committee to carry out its duties.

General Assembly setting forth its findings and recommendations
as to compensation and duties. Any increase in pay for members of
