SECTION 2. The funds appropriated herein to the Department of Employment and Workforce may only be used by the department to make payments on outstanding loans from the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. As soon as practicable after the effective date of this Joint Resolution, the Department of Employment and Workforce is directed to recalculate premium rates. The recalculated premium rates shall be retroactive to January 1, 2011. Any cost savings to employers in rate class 2-20 due to general fund appropriations in any particular year must be allocated proportionately to each employer with respect to each respective employer's responsibility in paying back the federal unemployment loan that particular year and must be administered by the department. Employers must be notified of changes in the premiums due and employer accounts must be credited and adjusted as appropriate. The Department of Employment and Workforce is directed to contact the Federal Government by August 1, 2012, to maximize efforts to buy the loan down to the greatest extent possible.
SECTION 3. Of the Funds appropriated herein to South Carolina State University for an independent financial audit, the university shall retain an audit firm to conduct a complete financial review of the university's financial status and procedures. The qualifications by which a firm is selected shall be determined by working with the State Auditor's Office. Any funds not used to pay for the audit shall be retained and utilized to correct any findings of the audit as determined and authorized by the General Assembly.
SECTION 4. All funds received herein by the Commission on Higher Education for deferred maintenance shall be distributed to state supported public four-year universities, two-year institutions of higher learning, and technical colleges on a pro rata basis. The distribution methodology to be used by the commission shall be based on each institution's proportion of general fund appropriation in Part IA of Act 73 of 2011 as compared to the total general fund appropriation in that Act for all public four-year universities and two-year institutions of higher learning.
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 2011-2012 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. /
