A JOINT RESOLUTION TO APPROPRIATE MONIES FROM THE CAPITAL RESERVE FUND FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1988-89.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Funds appropriated
SECTION 1. In accordance with the provisions of Article III, Section 36(B)(2) and
(3), Constitution of South Carolina, 1896, and Section 11-11-320(C) and (D) of
the 1976 Code, there is appropriated from the monies available in the Capital
Reserve Fund for fiscal year 1988-89 the following amounts:
(1) Employee Bonus
One-time bonus $8.886,190
$8,886,190
1.1 Effective on the fir8t pay day after November 30, 1989, each state employee
who has been in continuous state service since June 2, 1989, is eligible to
receive a one-time, lump-sum payment. Effective on the date of the lump-sum
payment, employees who earn $20,000 or less must receive $286 and those employees
who earn more than $20,000 must receive $143. This payment is not a part of the
employee's base salary and is not earnable compensation for purposes of employer
or employee contributions to the respective retirement systems. This
appropriation may be used for payments to employees only in the same ratio as the
employee's base salary is paid from appropriated sources. Legislative and
judicial employees must receive the above one-time, lump-sum payment; however,
no additional funds are provided for these payments. The bonus for the employees
in the Legislature and Judiciary must be funded out of their respective budgets.
1.2 The lump-sum payment to which a classified state employee, who was
employed on June 1, 1989, and who died after June 1, 1989, but before December
1, 1989, would have been entitled under the provisions of 1.1 above had he
remained in continuous 6tate service until December 1, 1989, must be paid to his
estate if open, and to the residual heirs or beneficiaries of his estate if the
estate has been closed. The payment required by this section must be made by the
State Treasurer upon warrant of the Comptroller General from the state general
fund in the manner the Budget and Control Board shall direct within thirty days
after the estate, heirs, or beneficiaries notify the Division of Human Resource
Management of the Budget and Control Board of the person or entity to whom the
payment should be made. The division may require proof of proper inheritance as
it considers necessary. Any decision of the division as to whom the proper heirs
or beneficiaries are of a deceased state employee if his estate has been closed
is final and not appealable in a court of competent jurisdiction.
(2) Health Insurance Reserve-
Deficiency 25,926,983
25,926,983
2.1 The $25,926,983 appropriated in this item for "Health Insurance
Reserve-Deficiency", together with the $6,850,000 appropriated in Part III
of the fiscal year 1989-90 General Appropriations Act for Health Insurance
Restoration-Deficit, must be allocated to agencies and institutions for the state
and school district share of a temporary $261 surcharge on the employer share of
health insurance premiums for all state employees, school district employees, and
retirees. It is the intent of the General Assembly that this surcharge be used
to eliminate the deficit in the State Health Insurance Fund in the 1989 plan year
and that all proceeds from this surcharge must be applied to the State Health
Insurance Fund. The employer shall pay the entire amount of this surcharge, and,
for state employees, state funds must be used only in the same proportion as the
employer share of the employee's regular health insurance premium is paid from
state funds. On a date no later than July 10, 1989, the State Retirement System
shall bill all state agencies for this surcharge on all employees and retirees
based on the actual July employee count. The State Budget Division shall transfer
state funds to the State Health Insurance Fund on behalf of agencies and school
districts; agencies may elect to remit the share of the surcharge to be paid from
federal or other funds in equal monthly payments over a six-month period.
(3) Higher Education
Cutting Edge 3,026,799
3,026,799
3.1 Of the funds appropriated for the Cutting Edge: Research Investment
Initiative, twenty-five percent of the funds must be allocated to the state's
senior public colleges. If the number of quality proposals for funds submitted
by the senior colleges does not necessitate the twenty-five percent allocation,
then the remaining funds must be allocated by the Commission on Higher Education
to the state's public universities.
