TO AMEND SECTION 2-7-60, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT
BEGINNING WITH ITS 1994 SESSION FOR THE ENSUING TWO FISCAL YEARS, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SHALL ENACT A BIENNIAL STATE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT, AND TO REQUIRE THE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY INCLUDING ITS APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES TO USE A "ZERO-BASE" BUDGET PROCESS IN THE PREPARATION OF THE BIENNIAL STATE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 2-7-60 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 2-7-60. (A) The General Assembly shall annually provide for all expenditures in the general appropriations act and the appropriations made for any department, institution, board, or commission shall must be in a definite sum for each purpose or activity with such that itemization under the activity as may be deemed considered necessary by the General Assembly.
(B) Beginning with its 1994 session for the ensuing two fiscal years and in each session every two years after 1994 for the two fiscal years next ensuing, the General Assembly shall enact a biennial state general appropriations act in a form and under conditions as it considers appropriate. On July 1, 1995, and thereafter, the term `annual state general appropriations act' or any similar variations of this term as contained in any provision of law must be construed to mean the biennial state general appropriations act.
(C) The State Budget and Control Board and the General Assembly including its appropriate committees shall use a `zero-base' budget process in the preparation of the biennial state general appropriations act beginning in 1994."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
