    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 for school bus maintenance shop relocations, construction, and shop equipment.

    118.4. (SR: Contingency Reserve Fund)  (A)  There is created in the State Treasury a fund separate and distinct from the general fund of the State, the Capital Reserve Fund, and all other funds entitled the Contingency Reserve Fund.  All general fund revenues accumulated in a fiscal year in excess of general appropriations and supplemental appropriations must be credited to this fund.  Revenues credited to this fund in a fiscal year may be appropriated by the General Assembly.  Upon determination by the Comptroller General as to the amount to be deposited in the Contingency Reserve Fund, the Comptroller General shall notify the Board of Economic Advisors and the board shall recognize that amount as surplus funds.  Revenues in this fund may be appropriated only for the purposes provided in subsection (B).

    (B) (1) If the balance in the general reserve fund established pursuant to Article III, Section 36 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.

         (2) After the appropriation of amounts required pursuant to item (1) of this subsection, any remaining balance may be appropriated by the General Assembly as it deems appropriate.

    118.5. (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.

    The residual funds from the cigarette surcharge shall remain in the South Carolina Medicaid Reserve Fund and may be used by the director of the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure access to care in rural and underserved areas of the state.  Within ninety days of the start of the fiscal year, the department shall develop methods and criteria for determining how access issues will be identified, assessed and addressed.  Any use of these funds shall require thirty days prior notice to the Chairmen of the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committees.  The department shall provide an assessment of access to care as part of the reporting requirements stipulated in Proviso 33.29, (DHHS: Medicaid Reporting).  The director is not authorized to access any of the residual funds prior to January 31, 2013.  The director must submit a proposal for any use of the funds to the General Assembly by January 1, 2013.  If no action is taken on the proposal by the General Assembly by January 31, 2013, the director may access the residual funds as presented in the proposal.
