For the current fiscal year, Section 16-3-26 of the 1976 Code of
Laws is amended to read:
 "Section 16-3-26.  (A)  Whenever the solicitor seeks the death
penalty he shall notify the defense attorney of his intention to
seek such penalty at least thirty days prior to the trial of the
case.  At the request of the defense attorney, the defense attorney
shall be excused from all other trial duties ten days prior to the
term of court in which the trial is to be held.
    (B)  Whenever any person is charged with murder and the death
penalty is sought, the court, upon determining that such person is
unable financially to retain adequate legal counsel, shall appoint
two attorneys to defend such person in the trial of the action. 
One of the attorneys so appointed shall have at least five years'
experience as a licensed attorney and at least three years'
experience in the actual trial of felony cases, and only one of the
attorneys so appointed shall be the Public Defender or a member of
his staff.  In all cases where no conflict exists, the public
defender or member of his staff shall be appointed if qualified. 
If a conflict exists, the court shall then turn first to the
contract public defender attorneys, if qualified, before turning to
the Office of Indigent Defense.
 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court shall order
payment of all fees and costs from funds available to the Office of
Indigent Defense for the defense of indigents.  Any attorney
appointed shall be compensated at a rate not to exceed fifty
dollars per hour for time expended out of court and seventy-five
dollars per hour for time expended in court.  Compensation shall
not exceed twenty-five thousand dollars and shall be paid from
funds available to the Office of Indigent Defense for the defense
of indigents represented by court-appointed, private counsel.    
(C)  (1) Upon a finding in ex parte proceedings that
investigative, expert, or other services are reasonably necessary
for the representation of the defendant whether in connection with
issues relating to guilt or sentence, the court shall authorize the
defendant's attorneys to obtain such services on behalf of the
defendant and shall order the payment, from funds available to the
Office of Indigent Defense, of fees and expenses not to exceed
twenty thousand dollars as the court shall deem appropriate. 
Payment of such fees and expenses may be ordered in cases where the
defendant is an indigent represented by either court-appointed,
private counsel or the public defender.
       (2)  Court-appointed counsel seeking payment for fees and
expenses shall request these payments from the Office of Indigent
Defense within thirty days after the completion of the case.  For
the purposes of this statute, exhaustion of the funds shall occur
if the funds administered by the Office of Indigent Defense and
reserved for death penalty fees and expenses have been reduced to
zero.  If either the Death Penalty Trial Fund or the Conflict Fund
has been exhausted in a month and the other fund contains money not
scheduled to be disbursed in that month, then the Indigent Defense
Commission must transfer a sufficient amount from the fund with the
positive fund balance to the fund with no balance and pay the
obligation to the extent possible.
    (D)  Payment in excess of the hourly rates and limit in
subsection (B) or (C) is authorized only if the court certifies, in
a written order with specific findings of fact, that payment in
excess of the rates is necessary to provide compensation adequate
to ensure effective assistance of counsel and payment in excess of
the limit is appropriate because the services provided were
reasonably and necessarily incurred.  Upon a finding that timely
procurement of such services cannot await prior authorization, the
court may authorize the provision of and payment for such services
nunc pro tunc.
    (E)  After completion of the trial, the court shall conduct a
hearing to review and validate the fees, costs, and other
expenditures on behalf of the defendant.
    (F)  The Supreme Court shall promulgate guidelines on the

 "Section 17-3-30.  (A)  A person to whom counsel has been provided
shall execute an affidavit that he is financially unable to employ
counsel and that affidavit shall set forth all his assets.  If it
appears that the person has some assets but they are insufficient
to employ private counsel, the court, in its discretion, may order
the person to pay these assets to the defender corporation of the
county or counties wherein he is being represented or, if a
defender corporation does not exist therein, to the Office of
Indigent Defense of the State of South Carolina.
    (B)  A twenty-five dollar application fee for public defender
services must be collected from every person who executes an
affidavit that he is financially unable to employ counsel.  The
person may apply to the clerk of court or other appropriate
official for a waiver or reduction in the application fee.  If the
clerk or other appropriate official determines that the person is
unable to pay the application fee, the fee may be waived or
reduced.  The clerk of court or other appropriate official shall
collect the application fee imposed by this section and remit the
proceeds to the state fund on a monthly basis.  The monies must be
deposited in an interest-bearing account separate from the general
fund and used only to provide for indigent defense services.  The
monies shall be administered by the Office of Indigent Defense.   
 (C)  Sufficient funds shall be set aside from allocations provided
for the defense of indigents to provide for adequate screening of

capital cases; provided however this shall occur only in the event

 The Executive Director of the Budget and Control Board shall
assist the Governor, Chairman of the Board of Economic Advisors,
Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House of Representatives in providing an
effective system for compiling and maintaining current and reliable
economic data.  The Board of Economic Advisors is considered a
public body under the provisions of Section 30-4-20(a) of the 1976
Code.  The Board of Economic Advisors may establish an advisory
board to assist in carrying out its duties and responsibilities. 
All state agencies, departments, institutions and divisions shall
provide such information and data as the board may require. 
17C.26.    (BCB/DBA: BEA - Mid-Year Budget Reductions &
Restricting the Rate of Expenditures)  Any appropriations made
herein or by special act now or hereafter, are hereby declared to
be maximum, conditional and proportionate, the purpose being to
authorize expenditures not to exceed the amounts named herein, if
necessary, but only in the event the aggregate revenues available
during the period for which the appropriations are made are
sufficient to pay them in full.  The State Budget and Control Board
is directed to survey the progress of the collection of revenue and
the expenditure of funds by all agencies, departments and
institutions.  If the Budget and Control Board determines that a
year-end aggregate deficit may occur by virtue of a projected
shortfall fall in anticipated revenues, it shall utilize such funds
as may be available and required to be used to avoid a year end
deficit and thereafter take such action as necessary to restrict
the rate of expenditure of all agencies consistent with the
provisions of this section.  No institution, activity, program,
item, special appropriation, or allocation for which the General
Assembly has provided funding in any part of this Act shall be
discontinued, deleted, or deferred by the Budget and Control Board. 
Any reduction of rate of expenditure by the  Board, under authority
of this Act, shall be applied as uniformly as may be practicable
except that no reduction shall be applied to funds encumbered by a
written contract with an agency not connected with the State
Government.  No such reduction shall be ordered by the State Budget
and Control Board while the General Assembly is in session without
first reporting such necessity to the General Assembly  and the
General Assembly has taken no action  to prevent the reduction
within five statewide session days of formal written notification. 
As far as practicable all departments, institutions, and agencies
of the State are hereby directed to budget and allocate
appropriations as quarterly allocation so as to provide for
operation on uniform standards throughout the fiscal year and in
order to avoid  an operating deficit for the fiscal year.  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 Comptroller General or
the Office of State Budget shall make such reports to the Budget
and Control Board as they deem advisable on any agency which is
expending authorized appropriations at a rate which predicts or
projects a general fund deficit for the agency.  The Budget and
Control Board is authorized and directed to require any such
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.  It is the responsibility of any such
agency to develop a plan, in consultation with the Budget and
Control Board, that eliminates or reduces a deficit.  Should the
Budget and Control Board make a finding that the cause of and
likelihood of a deficit is unavoidable due to factors which are
wholly outside of an agency's control, then the Board may determine
that the recognition of an agency deficit is appropriate and shall
notify the General Assembly of such action or the presiding officer
of the House and Senate if the General Assembly is not in session. 
Upon receipt of such notification from the Budget and Control
Board, the General Assembly may authorize supplemental
appropriations from any surplus revenues which existed at the close
of the previous fiscal year.  If the General Assembly fails to take
action, then the finding of the Budget and Control Board shall
stand, and the actual deficit at close of the fiscal year shall be
reduced as necessary from surplus revenues or surplus funds
available at the close of the fiscal year in which the deficit
occurs and from funds available in the Capital Reserve Fund and
General Reserve Fund, as required by the Constitution.  If the
Budget and Control Board finds that the likelihood and cause of a
deficit is the result of agency management, then the bond of State
officials responsible for management of the agency involved shall
be held liable therefor and the Board shall notify the Agency Head
Salary Commission of such finding.  In the case of a finding that
a projected deficit is the result of the management of the agency,
the Budget and Control Board shall take immediate steps to curtail
agency expenditures in such a manner so as to bring expenditures in
line with authorized appropriations and avoid a year end operating
deficit.
 17C.27.    (BCB/DBA: OHR - Compensation - Other Chief Executive
Officers Increases)  Agency chief executive officers not reviewed
by the Agency Head Salary Commission shall receive an annual
increase of 3.5% effective on the first pay date which occurs on or

Review)  The Budget and Control Board's Office of Human Resources
is hereby directed to conduct a review of existing Law Enforcement

Natural Resources and correctional officers.  This study is to
include comparison of grades, average salaries within grades, and
average salary within each grade in reference to time in each
grade.  Results of this review should be reported to the Ways and

 18A.18.    (CHE: Single-Gender Institutions)  In considering the
comprehensive funding needs of the various institutions of higher
learning, the General Assembly has taken cognizance of the
decisions of federal courts in various jurisdictions which have
held that single-gender institutions of higher learning provide
valuable and unique educational opportunities and are
constitutionally permissible based on legitimate public policy
considerations which justify single-gender education.  Studies
conducted by several scholars have concluded that for a variety of
reasons single-gender institutions have advantages over
coeducational institutions in numerous areas, and the data
developed suggests that the differences between a single-gender
student population and a coeducational one justify a state's
offering single-gender education.  A state nevertheless must
appropriate its available funds so as to provide constitutionally
permissible single-gender opportunities in higher education based
on public policy considerations governing the expenditure of funds
in support of higher education which justify single-gender
classifications as being in the best interests of the providing
state.  The General Assembly, by this proviso, declares and
stipulates that the public policy considerations and state
interests of South Carolina in establishing, supporting, and
providing for single-gender institutions of higher learning are as
follows:
 A.  Policy of Diversity.
 South Carolina believes that its institutions of higher learning
should be diverse as to size, competitiveness, program emphasis,
student population, and location so as to provide students with a
variety of academic opportunities and experiences.  In compliance
with this policy of diversity, South Carolina has established a
variety of diverse educational post-secondary institutions ranging
from small colleges to large regional universities, from liberal
arts programs to specific research-based programs, from two-year
institutions to four-year institutions with no graduate programs
and to four-year institutions with comprehensive graduate and
professional schools.  In this contest, a policy of diversity
should include places for single-gender institutions within the
overall higher education system of this State.  The single-gender
institutions this State has supported over the years have been as
a result of the legitimate state interest and desire for diversity
in its educational institutions, and a belief that a diverse state
program that includes both single-gender programs and coeducational
programs better meets the individual needs of students than does a
program or policy that requires all students, without regard to
individual needs, to attend coeducational colleges.
 B.  Policy of Meeting Need and Demand.
 A need for single-gender educational programs exists in South
Carolina in the opinion of its citizens, and a public demand for
them continues.  The citizens of South Carolina want these programs
and the public interest is well served by them.  A tremendous
demand exists now and has historically existed for the type of
single-gender opportunities the State has offered.  It may be true
that this demand is somewhat unique to South Carolina and other
similar states and does not necessarily exist throughout the
country but, nevertheless, where sufficient demand has existed for
particular single-gender programs of either gender thereby
justifying the expenditure of public funds to support such
programs, the State of South Carolina has supported such programs
and has a valid state interest in doing so.  The current single-
gender situations in South Carolina are popular, fully-subscribed,
and flourishing and clearly the State has a legitimate public
policy interest in offering and providing the types of educational
experiences, including single-gender ones, that its taxpayers and
citizens desire and support.  In addition, where a single-gender
institution produces graduates of a particular discipline,
training, or expertise, and the record shows that this type of
training could not be as successfully developed at a coeducational
institution, a legitimate and important state interest is served if
the State through its agencies and programs or the nation through
its agencies and programs utilizes these graduates for compelling
state or national needs.
 C.  Policy of Autonomy.
 In the system of higher education in place in South Carolina, each
institution of higher learning is governed by a board of trustees
which governs the institution subject to the general law and in
conjunction with the Commission on Higher Education.  The General
Assembly has directed the Commission on Higher Education and the
state's institutions of higher learning to seek to create an
environment in which each institution can pursue its own mission
within the broader statewide framework.
 The missions of South Carolina's sixty-two public and independent
post-secondary institutions vary widely.  Research universities
offer degree programs through the doctoral level and professional
programs consistent with their respective missions.  In addition,
their missions emphasize funded research and public service
activities that complement academic programs.  Within the context
of their variety of roles and missions, senior colleges offer a
broad range of degree programs including graduate programs at the
master's degree level in selected fields as well as public service
and research programs.  This comprehensive system as a matter of
public policy should include an institution's right to choose to
offer a single-gender program if sufficient demand for such a
program exists and if the program fits within the broad framework
of the overall state educational system.
 The General Assembly as part of its stated public policy of
allowing each institution the autonomy within certain guidelines to
develop individualized mission statements and programs has
therefore determined that it is consistent with its stated policy
of institutional autonomy for an institution to offer a single-
gender opportunity accomplished through the enactment of such
vehicles as specific admission requirements based on gender or
other similar requirements.
 D.  Policy of Economy of Resources.
 The resources of the State of South Carolina available for higher
education are becoming more and more scarce, and it is mandatory
and a compelling public policy and state interest that the
available resources and funding for each institution of higher
learning be used in the most efficient and effective manner
possible.
 Studies have shown that single-gender programs provide a diversity
of choice for the individual and varying needs of students in the
most efficient, economical, and prudent manner possible and with
the maximum utilization of the resources and assets of the State. 
This is true because single-gender programs avoid the duplication
and additional expense that would be incurred if an attempt was
made to offer the unique characteristics of a single-gender program
at a coeducational institution.  A single-gender institution can
deliver some specific programs including those with holistic or
adversarial characteristics at less cost than can a coeducational
institution and the State has a legitimate public policy interest
in providing these types of programs at the least possible cost. 
Also, consistent with its policy of providing single-gender
educational opportunities for the reasons enumerated herein, the
State of South Carolina has found that the physical plant of a
single-gender institution must have certain characteristics
different from those of a coeducational institution for the purpose
of ensuring privacy, safety, and for other such considerations.  To
attempt to construct or adapt the physical plant of a single-gender
institution for the purpose of making it suitable for coeducation
would be prohibitively expensive.
 Consequently, given the fiscal situation in South Carolina and
given the competing demands on its scarce resources, it is in the
best interest of the State and a prudent public policy for single-
gender institutions to be part of this state's higher education
system so that unique programs may be offered to interested
students in the most economical and efficient manner possible
without unnecessary duplication and additional expense.
 E.  Policy of Choice.
 Single-gender institutions and their programs provide a freedom of
choice to students and their families, and the General Assembly
believes as a matter of public policy that this is a freedom for
individual choice that does not need to be destroyed.  Ample
choices and opportunities for college educations in mixed-gender
coeducational environments exist in South Carolina and in other
states and those individuals desiring a single-gender choice should
also have the opportunity to make such a choice.  Single-gender
institutions are not inherently unconstitutional or unlawful, and
the General Assembly believes that as a matter of public policy it
has a duty to offer its citizens the widest range of educational
opportunities it can offer in the manner allowed by law, including
single-gender opportunities, so that interested students are free
to choose an institution which, due to its distinctive educational
methods, is not diminished or impaired as a result of a
coeducational requirement; and
 For the reasons and policies above provided, South Carolina has
historically supported and continues to support single-gender
educational institutions as a matter of public policy based on
legitimate state interests where sufficient demand has existed for
particular single-gender programs thereby justifying the
expenditure of public funds to support such programs.
 Presently in South Carolina single-gender educational
opportunities exist for men at The Citadel, but do not exist for
women in all areas and the members of the General Assembly, by this
proviso, express their belief that it is appropriate for this State
to begin the process of providing single-gender educational
opportunities for women.
 18A.19.    (CHE: Out-Of-State Tuition Subsidy Reduction)  State-
supported colleges and universities, including technical colleges,
shall not increase the tuition and fees charged to in-state
undergraduate students until the institutions recapture and

factor projected by the Division of Budget and Analyses to match
inflation wages of public school employees in the Southeast.  The
base student cost for FY 95-96 has been determined to be $1,684,
which includes a 4.0% inflation factor.

IA, Section 19 for "Education Finance Act" shall be the maximum
paid under the provisions of Act 163 of 1977 (the South Carolina
Education Finance Act of 1977) to the aggregate of all recipients. 
The South Carolina Education Department shall develop formulas to
determine the State and required local funding as stipulated in the
South Carolina Education Finance Act of 1977.  Such formulas shall
require the approval of the State Board of Education and the Budget
and Control Board.  After computing the EFA allocations for all
districts, the Department shall determine whether any districts'
minimum required local revenue exceeds the districts' total EFA
Foundation Program.  When such instance is found, the Department
shall adjust the index of taxpaying ability to reflect a local
effort equal to the cost of the districts' EFA Foundation Program. 
The districts' weighted pupil units are to be included in
determination of the funds needed for implementation of the
Education Finance Act statewide.
  In the event that the formulas as devised by the Department of
Education and approved by the State Board of Education and the
Budget and Control Board should provide for distribution to the
various school districts totaling more than the amount appropriated
for such purposes, subject to the provisions of this proviso, the
Department of Education shall reduce each school district
entitlement by an equal amount per weighted pupil so as to bring
the total disbursements into conformity with the total funds
appropriated for this purpose.  If a reduction is required in the
State's contribution, the required local funding shall be reduced
by the proportionate share of local funds per weighted pupil unit. 
The Department of Education shall continually monitor the
distribution of funds under the provisions of the Education Finance
Act and shall make periodic adjustments to disbursements to insure
that the aggregate of such disbursements do not exceed the

respective salary schedules by any percentage greater than the
percentage by which the appropriated base student cost exceeds the
appropriated base student cost of the prior fiscal year.

 State funds allocated for school district employer contributions
must be allocated by the formula and must be used first by each
district to cover the cost of fringe benefits for personnel
required by the Defined Minimum Program, food service personnel and
other personnel required by law.  Once a district has expended all
state allocated funds for fringe benefits, the district may utilize

and supplies is authorized to charge a fee to offset the cost of
education materials and supplies.  The board of trustees of each
school district which charges such fees is directed to develop
rules and regulations for such fees which take into account the
students' ability to pay and to hold the fee to a minimum
reasonable amount.  Fees may not be charged to students eligible
for free lunch and must be pro rata for students eligible for
reduced price lunches, if the parents or guardians of these

 19.38.   (SDE: Handicapped/Educational Responsibility) 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the responsibility for
providing a free and appropriate public education program for all
children including handicapped students is vested in the public
school district wherein a child of lawful school age resides in a
foster home, group home, orphanage, or a state operated health care
facility including a facility for treatment of mental illness or
chemical dependence located within the jurisdiction of the school
district.  The districts concerned may agree upon acceptable local
cost reimbursement.  If no agreement is reached, districts
providing education shall receive from the district where the child
last resided before placement in a facility an additional amount
equivalent to the statewide average of the local base student cost
multiplied by the appropriate pupil weighting as set forth in
Section 59-20-40 of the Education Finance Act.  If a child from
out-of-state is being resided in a facility owned and/or operated
by a for profit entity, the district providing educational services
shall be reimbursed by the for profit entity the local district's
local support per weighted pupil above the statewide average base
student cost multiplied by the appropriate pupil weighting as set
forth in Section 59-20-40 of the Education Finance Act.  School
districts providing the education shall notify the non-resident
district in writing within 45 calendar days that a student from the
non-resident district is receiving education services pursuant to
the provisions of the proviso.  The notice shall also contain the
student's name, date of birth, and handicapping condition if
available.  If appropriate financial arrangements cannot be
effected between institutions of the state and school districts,
institutions receiving educational appropriations shall pay the
local base student cost multiplied by the appropriate pupil
weighting.  Children residing in institutions of state agencies
shall be educated with non-disabled children in the public school
districts if appropriate to their educational needs.  Such
institutions shall determine, on an individual basis, which
children residing in the institution might be eligible to receive
appropriate educational services in a public school setting.  Once
these children are identified, the institution shall convene an IEP
meeting with officials of the public school district in which the
institution is located.  If it is determined by the committee that
the least restrictive environment in which to implement the child's
IEP is a public school setting, then the school district in which
the institution is located must provide the educational services. 
However, that school district may enter into contractual agreements
with any other school district having schools located within a 45
mile radius of the institution.  The cost for educating such
children shall be allocated in the following manner:  the school
district where the child last resided before being placed in an
institution shall pay to the school district providing the
educational services an amount equivalent to the statewide average
of the local base student cost multiplied by the appropriate pupil
weighting as set forth in Section 59-20-40 of the Education Finance
Act; the school district providing the educational services shall
be able to count the child for all funding sources, both state and
federal.  The institution and school district, through contractual
agreements, will address the special education and related services
to be provided to students.  Should the school district wherein the
institution is located determine that the child cannot be
appropriately served in a public school setting, then the
institution may request a due process hearing pursuant to the
procedures provided for in the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act.

provisions of Chapter 52 of Title 44 (Involuntary Commitment),
Article 7, Chapter 17 of Title 44 of the 1976 Code (Judicial
Commitment), Chapter 3 of Title 17 of the 1976 Code (Defense of

Department and/or the appropriate court.  To this end, state
agencies are directed to furnish to the Judicial Department a list
of their employees who are competent to serve as court examiners. 
The Judicial Department shall forward a copy of this list to the
appropriate courts, and the courts shall utilize the services of
such state employees whenever feasible.  State employees shall
receive no additional compensation for performing such services. 
For the purpose of interpreting this section, employees of the
Medical University of South Carolina and individuals serving an
internship or residency as an academic requirement or employees who

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, agencies appropriated
case services funds who routinely receive prior year case service
billings after the old fiscal year has been officially closed are

funds.  This authorization does not apply to billings on hand that
have been through a timely agency payment approval process when the
old fiscal year closes.

budget classifications, the Comptroller General shall issue his
warrant on the State Treasurer to the payee designated in the
requisition.  No requisitions for warrants shall be processed for
any amounts less than one dollar.  Upon approval and designation by
the State Budget and Control Board, state institutions may
requisition funds in favor of their own treasurer, itemized only to
the extent of the purpose of the appropriation as expressed in this
Act, and may deposit such funds in the name of the institution, in
such bank or banking institutions as shall be designated by the
State Treasurer, and disburse same by check to meet the purposes of
the appropriation, but strict account shall be kept of all such
expenditures according to standard budget classifications.  All

Comptroller General shall establish rules and regulations for the
uniform reimbursement, remittance and transfers of funds to the
General Fund of the State required by law.

Treasury)  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.  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
conditions of the said donations, or contributions, if specified,
and, if not specified, as may be directed by the proper authorities
of the department.  The expenditure of funds by agencies of the
State Government from sources other than General Fund

provisions of law applicable to the expenditure of appropriated
funds with respect to salaries, wages or other compensation, travel
expense, and other allowance or benefits for employees.

Further, each agency shall identify and justify, as another line
item, all material and/or services, in excess of those basic needs

  72.19.   (GP: Human Services Coordinating Council Creation)  The
General Assembly finds that the operation of health and human
services may be enhanced by closer working relationships among
agencies at the state and local level.  The General Assembly finds
that coordination at both levels provides opportunities to serve
the citizens of South Carolina better through (1) continued
expansion of services integration and (2) stronger communication
among agencies delivering services.
  In order to assist in, recommend, develop policy for, and
supervise the expenditure of funds for the continuation of service
integration in South Carolina, there is created a Human Services

Officer on an annual basis to serve as the Council Chairperson.  
(2) Meet regularly to provide an opportunity for collaboration and
cooperation among member agencies.
The Council shall have as its goals:
  (1) Identify and address priority health and human needs and
promote the availability of responsive resources.
  (2) Promote cost-effective, efficient approaches for the delivery
of health and human services which include prevention, education,
reduction of dependency, promotion of self-sufficiency and delivery
of services in the least restrictive, most appropriate community-
based and institutional settings.
  (3) Provide coordination between the council members and the
Department of Health and Human Services in the development of the
comprehensive State Health and Human Services Plan.
  (4) In cooperation with the Department of Health and Human
Services, coordinate and oversee efforts to integrate services

  Member agencies and departments of the Council  shall collect and
provide client information, including Social Security Number, for
the Client Masterfile System,  and for development and use of a
uniform client application database for statistical  purposes and
for improving human services delivery systems for South
Carolinians.  For purposes of this sub-section, the State, rather
than an individual agency, will be the owner of the data.  All
individual client information submitted by participating agencies
or departments will be  regarded as confidential; the information
collected may not be released, under any circumstances, to entities
or individuals outside the Client Masterfile System, State Data
Oversight Council, or client application database unless release is
made of aggregate statistical information so that no individual
client may be identified.  No data submitted may be released by the
Client Masterfile System except in a format approved by the
Council.  For the purposes of this sub-section only, all State
laws, regulations, or any rule of any State agency, department,
board, or commission having the effect or force of law that
prohibits or is inconsistent with any provision of this sub-section
is hereby declared inapplicable to this sub-section.  Each member
agency or department of the Council shall be required to take all
steps reasonably necessary to effectuate the waiver of federal
rules, regulations, or statutes or the elimination of other factors
that interfere with collection or use of data by the Client
Masterfile System or client application database.  Those steps
shall include but not be limited to, the seeking of federal
legislation, the negotiation of agreements between the Council or
State and any federal agency or board, the application for the
waiver of any federal rule, regulation or statute, and the seeking
of client's permission to share data.  The Human Services
Coordinating Council shall assume the duties and responsibilities
of the Aging Coordinating Council and the Long Term Care Council as
specified in Sections 43-21-120 through 43-21-140.  The council
shall establish a long term care standing committee and include on
the committee a representative of the long term care industry, a
representative of the insurance industry, and a representative of
the general public.
  72.20.   DELETED 
  72.21.   (GP: Employer Contributions Cost of Agencies)  It is the
intent of the General Assembly that the amount so provided to each
agency or institution for employee benefits shall be sufficient to
pay the employer 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.
  72.22.   (GP: Dual Employment)  Any employee who is approved for
dual employment must be paid in a timely manner.  The secondary
agency is required to make payment of funds approved for and earned
under dual employment within fortyfive days of the beginning of the
employment.
  72.23.   (GP: Payroll Schedule & Compensation Restrictions) 
Except as otherwise provided in this Act, all appropriations for
compensation of State Employees shall be paid in twice-monthly
installments to the person holding such position.  In order to
provide a regular and permanent schedule for payment of employees,
it is hereby established that the payroll period shall begin on
June 2, of the prior fiscal year with the first pay period ending
on June 16, of the prior fiscal year.  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.
  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 any department can secure the services for a particular
position or work at a lower rate than the salary specified in this
Act, authority for so doing is hereby given.
  No employee of any state department or institution shall be paid
any compensation from any other department of the state government
except those approved under the provisions of Regulation 19-702.09
of the 1976 Code, as amended, and no employee of any department or
institution shall be paid travel expenses by any other department
or institution without approval of the agency by which he is
regularly employed.  The Comptroller General shall report, after
June thirtieth of each year, to the House Ways and Means Committee
and the Senate Finance Committee the names of all employees
receiving dual compensation and the amounts received.
  The provisions of Regulation 19-707.02 and Section 8-5-10 of the
1976 Code, as amended, shall not apply to employees hired for 120
days or less.
  72.24.   (GP: Contracts - Private Individuals)  Agencies of the
state may contract with private individuals for personnel services
for periods not to exceed twelve months and for amounts of less
than $60,000, notwithstanding any other provision of law.  However,
any private contractor who is a retired member of the South
Carolina Retirement Systems is not eligible to occupy a regular
position maintained by the employer, except under the $12,500
earnings limit.  The contractor is eligible to receive legitimate
expenses in addition to the $12,500.  Compensation paid under
contract shall be reported to the Retirement System.
  72.25.   (GP: Discrimination Policy)  It is the policy of the
State of South Carolina to recruit, hire, train, and promote
employees without discrimination because of race, color, sex,
national origin, age, religion or physical disability.  This policy
is to apply to all levels and phases of personnel within state
government, including but not limited to recruiting, hiring,
compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, layoffs, recalls
from layoffs, and educational, social, or recreational programs. 
It is the policy of the State to take affirmative action to remove
the disparate effects of past discrimination, if any, because of
race, color, sex, national origin, age, religion or physical
disability.
  Each state agency shall submit to the State Human Affairs
Commission employment and filled vacancy data by race and sex by
October 31, of each year.
  In accordance with Section 1-13-110 of the South Carolina Code of
Laws of 1976, as amended, the Human Affairs Commission shall submit
a report on the status of State Agencies' Affirmative Action Plans
and Programs to the General Assembly by February 1 each year.  This
report shall contain the total number of persons employed in each
job group, by race and sex, at the end of the preceding reporting
period, a breakdown by race and sex of those hired or promoted from
within the agency during the reporting period, and an indication of
whether affirmative action goals were achieved.  For each job group
referenced in the Human Affairs report, where the hiring of
personnel does not reflect the percentage goals established in the
agency's affirmative action plan for the year in question, the
State agency shall submit a detailed explanation to the Human
Affairs Commission by February 15, explaining why goals were not
achieved.
  The Human Affairs Commission shall review the explanations and
notify the Budget and Control Board of any agency not in
satisfactory compliance with meeting its stated goals.
  The Budget and Control Board shall notify any agency not in
compliance that their request for additional appropriations for the
current appropriation cycle, may not be processed until such time
as the Budget and Control Board, after consultation with the Human
Affairs Commission, is satisfied that the agency is making a good
faith effort to comply with its affirmative action plan, and that
the compliance must be accomplished within a reasonable length of
time to be determined by the mission and circumstances of the
agency.  This requirement shall not affect additional appropriation
requests for public assistance payments or aid to entities.  This
section does not apply to those agencies that have been exempted
from the reporting requirements of the Human Affairs Commission.  
72.26.   (GP: RIF, Recall Procedures, Residency Preference) 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a vacancy occurs
in a state agency, other than institutions of higher education, or
when an agency acts to fill a new position, the agency shall give
preference to residents of this State, if the two are equally
qualified for the vacancy or new position.
  72.27.   (GP: Temporary Grant Funded or Time Limited Funded
Positions)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law or this Act,
state agencies and institutions may, at their discretion, hire
employees to fill temporary grant positions specified in federal
grants, public charity grants, private foundation grants, research
grants and positions with time limited funding approved or
authorized by the appropriate state authority in accordance with
the following provisions:
  A. Only those funds authorized within the approved federal grant,
public charity grant, private foundation grant,  research grant, or
time limited funds for a specified project can be used to pay the
salaries and/or benefits of temporary  employees hired under this
provision.
  B. Temporary grant or time limited positions, employees, and the
conditions of their employment shall be reported in accordance with
provisions developed by the Division of Budget and Analyses of the
Budget and Control Board.
  C. Positions established under this provision must be limited to
and must not exist beyond the duration of the time limited project
or grant or any subsequent renewal of it.  When the grant, time
limited project or any subsequent renewal ends, temporary grant or
time limited project employees must be terminated and their
positions will cease to exist.  Temporary grant or time limited
project employees will be exempt from the provisions of Sections 8-
17-310 through 8-17-380 of the 1976 Code, as amended.  State
agencies and institutions must terminate all temporary grant or
time limited project positions at any time funding  is terminated
or is insufficient to continue payments under the conditions of the
grant or time limited project.
  D. Temporary grant or time limited project employees may be
eligible for the same benefits, excluding permanent or probationary
employment status, available to permanent state employees provided
that such funds are available within the grant or time limited
project.
  E. Temporary grant or time limited project employees shall be
deemed to be employed at will.  The temporary grant or time limited
project employee shall not be entitled to any compensation beyond
the date of termination, other than for such part of the grant or
time limited project that has been performed.
  F. Discretionary determinations by a state agency or institution
as to whether to hire an employee pursuant to this proviso are
final and not subject to administrative or judicial appeal.  
72.28.   (GP: Personal Service Reconciliation, FTEs)  The General
Assembly expresses its continuing concern over the control of the
number of personnel employed by the State of South Carolina.  This
concern is evidenced in the 1980 Public Employment Report of the
United States Bureau of Census.  It is further declared to be the
intent of the General Assembly to continue to take positive steps
to  reduce the number of personnel employed in the future, without
unduly hampering the legitimate functions of state government.   In
order to obtain the necessary control over the number of employees,
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 total authorized number of
full-time equivalent positions and those funded from State sources
as provided in each section of this Act except by majority vote of
the Budget and Control Board .  Specific written confirmation of
such majority approval shall be forwarded to 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 Division of Budget and Analyses shall maintain and
make, as necessary, periodic adjustments thereto, an official
record of the total number of authorized full-time equivalent
positions by agency for State and Total funding sources and shall
provide a certified duplicate of such record to the  Joint
Appropriations Review Committee.  The Division of Budget and
Analyses shall submit monthly reports to the  Joint Appropriations
Review Committee and such reports shall include any changes in the
authorized number of full-time equivalent positions, the number of
filled and vacant positions and any other data requested by the
committees.
   (a)  That within thirty (30) days of the passage of the
Appropriation Act or by August 1, whichever comes later, each
agency of the State must have established on the Budget and Control
Board records all positions authorized in the Act.  After that
date, the Board shall delete any non-established positions
immediately from the official record of authorized full-time
equivalent positions.  No positions shall be established by the
Board in excess of the total number authorized in the Board record
of authorized full-time equivalent positions.  Each agency may,
upon notification to the Budget and Control Board, change the
funding source of State FTE positions established on the Budget and
Control Board records as necessary to expend federal and other
sources of personal service funds in an effort to conserve or stay
within the state appropriated personal service funds.  Each agency
may, upon notification to the Budget and Control Board, transfer
FTEs between programs as needed to accomplish the agency mission. 
No agency shall change funding sources that will cause the agency
to exceed the authorized number of state or total full-time
equivalent positions.
   (b)  By September 30, the Board shall prepare a personal service
detail, by agency, which shows each position established for the
fiscal year and the amount of funds required, by source of funds,
to support the position for the fiscal year at a funding level of
100% and the Board shall then reconcile each agency's personal
service detail with the agency's personal service appropriation as
contained in the Act adjusted for any pay increases, and any other
factors necessary to reflect the agency's personal service funding
level.  The Board shall provide a copy of each agency's personal
service reconciliation to the Senate Finance and House Ways and
Means Committees.
   (c)  Any position which is shown by the reconciliation to be
unfunded or significantly underfunded may be deleted at the
direction of the Budget and Control Board .
   (d)  Full-time equivalent (FTE) positions shall be determined
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) months.
  The FTE method of accounting shall be utilized for all authorized
positions.
  3. That the number of positions authorized in this Act shall be
reduced in the following circumstances:
     (a) Upon request by an agency.
     (b) When anticipated federal funds are not made available.   
  (c) When the Budget and Control Board, through study or analysis,
becomes aware of any unjustifiable excess of positions in any state
agency.
  4. The Budget and Control Board shall annually reconcile personal
service funds with full-time employee count to determine unfunded
positions which will be eliminated no later than January 15 of the
current fiscal year unless specifically exempted elsewhere in this
act or by the State Budget and Control Board.  The State Budget and
Control Board must report the full-time employee count and unfunded
position status to the Senate Finance Committee and the Ways and
Means Committee by February 1 of the current fiscal year.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  The Governor, in making his appropriation recommendations to the
