Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Reports to State Budget and Control Board

SECTION 1. Chapter 11 of Title 1 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 1-11-420. All institutions, departments, and agencies shall file an annual report with the board at the time the board specifies. The board shall prescribe specifications and deadlines as are practicable for the reports, the objective being to limit the content and style of printing, and thus keep the cost of their publication within reasonable limits. The board shall have the reports printed and made available on or before January first to each member of the General Assembly at his request and to the State Library. The board shall report annually to the General Assembly on the expenditure of appropriations for the reports showing, by departments, the number of copies and cost of publication. State agency annual reports required under the provisions of this section and reports to the General Assembly may not be printed in a multicolor format unless that format can be purchased at the cost of black and white printing, nor may these reports contain pictures of board or commission members, agency officers, or employees."

Time effective

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
