SECTION    2. With the $5,500,000 appropriated in SECTION 1 to H59-State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education for System-wide Infrastructure and Workforce Development, the board shall be responsible for prioritizing and funding projects to maximize workforce development. For the purpose of prioritizing funding requests, one of the following criteria must be met: (1) projects requested by the Department of Commerce for current industry recruitment, (2) projects to enhance science and math education by renovating existing science buildings, (3) projects designed to enhance traffic flow and student vehicular safety, and (4) projects that have a local county match funding. Central Carolina Technical College shall be excluded from the distribution of these funds.

SECTION    3. The General Assembly finds, that as a top priority of the current fiscal year, consumer protection is to continue to be provided for those citizens whose personal financial information was compromised as a result of the Department of Revenue Security Breach of 2012. In accordance with that finding, the funds appropriated to the Budget and Control Board for Statewide Cyber Security and Consumer Protection shall first be used to provide, at a minimum, one additional year of consumer protection to those citizens who were enrolled in "ProtectMyID" as of March 31, 2013. Any funds remaining shall be utilized by the board to implement state agency cyber security improvements as recommended in solutions for plans on cyber security improvements.

SECTION    4. Prior to any negotiations for the purchase of property at the State Farmers Market located in Lexington County, the Attorney General's Office shall research all recorded documents related to the property and submit a memorandum to the Budget and Control Board that outlines any potential legal issues associated with ownership by the State of any or all of the property, including but not limited to deed restrictions, liens, easements, encumbrances, and gate fee collections. The Attorney General shall attempt to renegotiate, on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, the original farmers market development agreement including but not limited to the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions for the wholesalers section. Once the Attorney General has renegotiated the agreements he deems necessary to the State obtaining full enjoyment of title, the Attorney General may utilize funds appropriated in Fiscal Year 2013-2014 to negotiate for the purchase of property at the State Farmers Market on behalf of the State Department of Agriculture subject to approval of the Budget and Control Board. While negotiating the purchase of the State Farmers Market property, the Attorney General shall prioritize the acquisition of lot twenty-five.

SECTION    5.    The Comptroller General shall post the appropriations contained in this joint resolution as provided in Section 11-11-320(D) of the 1976 Code. Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to this joint resolution may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years and expended for the same purposes.

SECTION    6.    This joint resolution takes effect thirty days after the completion of the 2012-2013 fiscal year in accordance with the provisions of Section 36(B)(3)(a), Article III, Constitution of South Carolina, 1895, and Section 11-11-320(D)(1) of the 1976 Code.
