  Provided, That the above appropriations shall be disbursed
under the direction of the State Treasurer.
  Provided, Further, That any agency of the State government
responsible by law for the collection of revenues or funds from
any source to be annually applied to payments of interest and
principal on general obligation bonds of the state shall remit
such collections to the State Treasurer for credit to the State's
General Fund and which shall constitute a reimbursement of
appropriations made in this section. 
  Provided, Further, That the General Assembly takes note of the
fact that the foregoing figures reflect the estimated Debt
Service Requirements of Bonds of the State for Fiscal Year
1986-87. It is not intended that their inclusion in this Act
shall prevent the issuance of additional bonds pursuant to
authorizations now or hereafter enacted.
  Provided, Further, That with the exception of the Agricultural
College Stock and Clemson Perpetual Stock, bonded debt of the
State issued prior to December 1, 1977, is supported by a pledge
of a special fund (derived from taxes and other sources) and in
each instance the monies derived from such taxes and other
sources must be first applied to the payment of principal and
interest on the bonds prior to the use for other purposes and
that under the Statutes which authorized such bonds, it is the
ministerial duty of the appropriate State officers and agencies
to utilize the pledged revenues for the payment of the principal
and interest of such bonds. Under the decisions of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina, continuing appropriations have been made
which cannot be diverted until all of the principal and interest
on the bonds have been paid.
  Provided, Further, That in the instance of debt incurred
subsequent to December 1, 1977, the General Assembly, in
obedience to Paragraph 4 of Section 13 of Article X, has
allocated on an annual basis sufficient tax revenues to provide
for the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on such
general obligation debt.
  Provided, Further, That the Budget and Control Board, after
review of the Joint Bond Review Committee, is hereby authorized
and directed to regulate the starting date of the various
projects approved for funding through the issuance of Capital
Improvement Bonds so as to insure that the appropriations for
debt service on such bonds, as provided in this Section, shall be
sufficient during Fiscal Year 1986-87.
SECTION 123
MISCELLANEOUS
  Provided, That the South Carolina Research Authority is hereby
authorized to retain revenue received from the sale or lease of
property and to expend such funds for the maintenance and
development of the South Carolina Research Authority's parks; and
it is further provided that the proceeds from the sale of
property by the State of South Carolina to Shannon Properties
(Dana Corporation) on September 18, 1985, which proceeds are
presently held by the State Treasurer, shall be transferred to
the South Carolina Research Authority for the maintenance and
development of the Research Authority's parks. The South Carolina
Research Authority shall promptly notify in writing the Budget
and Control Board of all real estate transactions immediately
upon closing of any such transactions.

  Provided, That the above revenues must be deposited in the
General Fund of the State, and notwithstanding the amounts
appropriated in the various items of this section, must be
allocated and paid to the counties and municipalities of the
State in conformity with the percentages or proportions of the
revenues prescribed by law. Provided, Further, However, that no
county or municipality shall be allocated an amount from any
revenue source in excess of 91.3 percent of the allocation
prescribed by law for Fiscal Year 1986-87. Provided, Further,
That where a portion of one county is annexed to another county,
the total amount allocated to the two counties shall not exceed
the total which would be allocated to the two counties
separately. However, the population of the annexed areas shall be
taken into consideration in determining the proportionate share
of the total allocation due to each county. Municipalities
incorporated on or after July 1, 1986, shall receive a share of
the appropriate revenues in conformity with the percentage or
proportion of such revenues prescribed by law.
  Provided, Further, That in each statutory formula for the
allotment of aid to subdivisions where population is a factor,
the most recent official United States Census shall be used.
  Provided, Further, That all distributions in this section,
except Homestead Reimbursement, Merchants Inventory Tax
Reimbursement and Tax Forms and Supplies Expense, shall be
remitted to each subdivision by the State Treasurer.
  Provided, Further, That notwithstanding the amount appropriated
in this section for "Homestead Exemption Reimbursement" there is
hereby appropriated whatever amount is necessary to reimburse the
counties and municipalities of the State for exemptions allowed
in accord with the provisions of law.
  Provided, Further, That as of July 1, 1981, the counties of the
State will be relieved of contribution requirements for salary,
fringe benefits and travel reimbursement to local health
departments.  The amount of funds heretofore appropriated by
counties for health department salaries, fringe benefits and
travel shall be determined by the Commissioner of the Department
of Health and Environmental Control in consultation with the
chief administrative official of the respective counties, and
shall be withheld from the quarterly distribution of income tax
to each county.  The amount appropriated herein for Aid to
Counties Income Tax, reflects this reduction. These funds and
other state funds appropriated for county health units may, based
upon need, be utilized in either salary or travel categories.
Each county shall provide all other operating expenses of the
local health department in an amount at least equal to that
appropriated for operations for each county in Fiscal Year 1981.
Provided, Further, That in the event any county makes uniform
reductions in appropriations to all agencies or departments for
maintenance and operations, exclusive of salaries and fringe
benefits, a like reduction shall be made in funds appropriated
for the operating expenses of the local health department. Any
year-end lapsed monies which result from this provision shall be
returned to the appropriate county at the end of each fiscal
year.
  Provided, Further, That fifty (50%) percent of the amount
appropriated in this section for "Aid to Planning Districts"
shall be divided equally among the ten districts, the remaining
fifty (50%) percent to be allocated in proportion to the
population of each district according to the official United
States Census for 1980.
  Provided, Further, That each district shall, prior to receipt
of funds, submit a plan for the expenditure of funds appropriated
in this section to the Budget and Control Board. Within ninety
(90) days following the end of the fiscal year, each district
shall submit to the Budget and Control Board a copy of an audit
of funds appropriated in this section, to be performed by an
independent Certified Public Accountant. 
  Provided, Further, That the State Treasurer shall remit to each
district its share upon approval by the Budget and Control Board. 
  Provided, Further, That of the amount appropriated under "Aid
to Counties, Tax Forms and Supplies Expense," 4  per capita,
based on the official United States Census for 1980, shall be
remitted by the Comptroller General to the several counties of
the state and shall be applied by the counties only on expense of
printing tax forms and supplies for county auditors, treasurers
and tax collectors. Payment shall be made to each county
treasurer in one annual payment which shall be made as soon after
the beginning of the fiscal year as practical.
  Provided, Further, That of the amount appropriated in this
section for Clerks of Court, Probate Judges, and County Sheriffs,
$4,725 shall be distributed by the Comptroller General to each
County Treasurer, which shall be used as a $1,575 salary
supplement for each Clerk of Court, Probate Judge and County
Sheriff. It is the intent of the General Assembly that the amount
appropriated for such salary supplements shall include both
salary and related employer contributions. Payment shall be made
to each County Treasurer in a single lump sum at the beginning of
the fiscal year and payment shall be made to the Clerks of Court,
Probate Judges and County Sheriffs by the County Treasurer over a
twelve month period in the same manner as county salaries are
paid. 
  Provided, Further, That it is the intent of the General
Assembly that the amounts appropriated in this section for Clerks
of Court, Probate Judges, Registers of Mesne Conveyances and
County Sheriffs shall be in addition to any amounts presently
being provided by the county for these positions and any
reduction by any county in the salary of the Clerks of Court, the
Probate Judges, Registers of Mesne Conveyances and County
Sheriffs or any other reduction of expenditures in the office of
the Clerks of Court, Probate Judges, Registers of Mesne
Conveyances and County Sheriffs shall result in a corresponding
decrease of funds provided to that county by the State except
that any county which provided for equalization of expenditures
of Clerks of Court, Probate Judges, Registers of Mesne
Conveyances and County Sheriffs prior to passage of this act is
hereby declared to be in compliance with the intent of the
General Assembly and shall not be subject to the decrease of
funds penalty provided herein.
  Provided, Further, That $117,545 of the amounts appropriated in
this section must be directed by the State Treasurer to the
Advisory Commission on Inter-Governmental Relations of the
Governor's Office with counties and municipalities sharing
equally.
  Provided, Further, That notwithstanding any funds appropriated
in this act for inventory tax phase-out, there is hereby
appropriated whatever amount is necessary to fully reimburse all
counties and municipalities in regard to the phase-out of the
inventory tax for the use tax of year 1985. 
  Provided, Further, That notwithstanding the amount appropriated
in this section for alcoholic liquors-minibottle tax, that tax
revenues generated from the sale of minibottles shall be funded
at 100% of the revenues received, and allocated in accordance
with Section 61-5-150 of the 1976 Code of Laws.

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

such appropriations. It should be recognized that academic year
calendars of state institutions will affect the uniformity of the
receipt and distribution of funds during the years. The Budget
and Control Board is authorized to require any agency,
institutions or department to file a quarterly allocations plan
and is further authorized to restrict the rate of expenditures of
the agency, institution or department if the Board determines
that a deficit may occur. Provided, Further, That the bonds of
State officials violating the terms of this section shall be held
liable therefor, unless the Budget and Control Board has been
advised of, and officially recognizes the necessity for such
deficit.
  SEC. 136. All Federal Funds received shall be deposited in the
State Treasury, if not in conflict with Federal regulations, and
withdrawn therefrom as needed, in the same manner as that
provided for the disbursement of state funds. If it shall be
determined that federal funds are not available for, or cannot be
appropriately used in connection with, all or any part of any
activity or program for which state funds are specifically
appropriated in this Act to match Federal funds, the appropriated
funds may not be expended and shall be returned to the General
Fund, except upon specific written approval of the Budget and
Control Board after review by the Joint Appropriations Review
Committee. Provided, Further That donations or contributions from
sources other than the Federal Government, for use by any state
agency, shall be deposited in the State Treasury, but in special
accounts, and shall be withdrawn from the treasury as needed to
fulfill the purposes and contributions, if specified, and, if not
specified, as may be directed by the proper authorities of the
department.  Provided, Further, That the expenditure of funds by
agencies of the State Government from sources other than General

travel expense, and other allowance or benefits for employees.
  SEC. 137. Provided, Further, That except as otherwise provided
in this Act, all appropriations for compensation of State

established that the payroll period shall begin on June 2, 1986,
with the first pay period ending on June 16, 1986.  The payroll
period shall continue thereafter on a twice-monthly schedule as
established by the Budget and Control Board.  It is the intent of
the General Assembly that this schedule, thus established, will
continue from one fiscal year to another without interruption, on
a twice monthly basis.  The Budget and Control Board is
authorized to approve any changes to this schedule where
circumstances are deemed justifiable.
  Provided, Further, That the appropriated salaries for specified
positions shall mean the maximum compensation for such position,
except as specifically provided in other provisions of this act,
and in any case where the head of an department can secure the
services for particular position or work at a lower rate the
salary specified in this Act, authority for so doing is hereby
given.
  Provided, Further, That no employee of any state department or
institution shall be paid any compensation from any other
department of the state government except with the approval of

of said officer or employee. Provided, Further, That the charge
for these items may be payroll deducted at the discretion of the
Comptroller General or the chief financial officer at each agency
maintaining its own payroll system. Provided, However, That this
shall not apply to the Governor's Mansion, nor to guards at any

Capital Improvement Obligations authorized by Act No. 829 of the
1964 Acts, Act No. 1273 of the 1970 Acts and Act No. 508 of the

institution if it becomes evident that the employer contribution
costs will exceed the funds available for that purpose.

Board in excess of the number authorized in the Board record of
authorized full-time equivalent positions.
    (b) That within forty-five (45) days of the passage of the

submit to the Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance
Committee at each stage of consideration of the appropriation
bill, a personal service reconciliation which includes the number
