 Provided, That the one remaining widow of a Confederate veteran
shall receive as pension the sum of Six Hundred ($600.00) Dollars
per year. Provided, Further, That not more than one pension shall
be allowed or paid after the death of the pensioner, the said
amount after death being for the purpose of defraying the funeral
expenses of pensioner, but such funeral expenses shall not exceed
the sum of Three Hundred ($300.00) Dollars. Provided, Further,
That the Comptroller General shall pay the above pension in a
single payment as soon after the beginning of the fiscal year as
may be practical.
 Provided, Further, That of the appropriation contained in
Program I, Administration, the Comptroller General is authorized
to spend an amount not to exceed $1,000.00 which, in his
determination, will benefit the one remaining widow of a
Confederate veteran in South Carolina. Provided, However, That
such expenditure shall not be construed as income to the
recipient and that such funds should be expended by the
Comptroller General in such a manner so as not to affect the
recipient's eligibility for social security assistance, veteran's
assistance, or Medicaid benefits.
 Provided, Further, That the Comptroller General is hereby
authorized to designate certain employees to sign, in his stead,
warrants drawn against the State Treasurer and the State
Treasurer is hereby authorized to accept such signatures when
notified by the Comptroller General; Provided, Further, That this
provision shall in no way relieve the Comptroller General of
responsibility.
 Provided, Further, That for the Fiscal Year 1985-86, the State
shall pay $12,513 on the salary of each County Auditor and County
Treasurer in addition to any amounts presently being provided by
the county for these positions. Provided, Further, That it is the
intent of the General Assembly that the amount appropriated by
the county for these positions shall not be reduced as a result
of the appropriation and that such appropriation shall not
disqualify each County Auditor and each County Treasurer for
salary increases that they might otherwise receive from county
funds in the future. Any reduction by any county in the salary of
the County Auditor or County Treasurer shall result in a
corresponding decrease of funds provided to that county by the
State.
 Provided, Further, That the Comptroller General may collect
parking fees assessed for use of state-owned or state-controlled
property by payroll deduction.
 Provided, Further, That it is the intent of the General Assembly
that the financial statements issued for the State of South
Carolina shall be in conformance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) at the earliest possible date. To
this end, the Comptroller General is directed as the State
Accounting Officer to proceed with the implementation and
refinement of the Statewide Accounting and Reporting System
(STARS) so as to develop an accounting system which will provide
the required information for preparation of the official
financial reports for the State of South Carolina by the State
Accounting Officer in conformance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Comptroller General as the
State Accounting Officer is given full power and authority to
issue accounting policy directives to State agencies in order to
comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The
Comptroller General is given authority to conduct surveys,
acquire consulting services, and implement new procedures
required to fully implement Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
 Provided, Further, That the Comptroller General may approve
warrants for the payment of expenses for out-of-state promotional
activities only when, in his opinion, such expenses are related
to economic development in South Carolina.
 Provided, Further, That revenue generated by the Comptroller
General from the agencies participating in the Basic Agency
Reporting System (BARS) Project and not expended during Fiscal
Year 1984-85 may be carried-forward to Fiscal Year 1985-86 and
expended for the further development and implementation of the
various software systems for the microcomputer.
 Provided, Further, That any employee, of a State agency
contained within this act, who wishes to be a member of the South
Carolina State Employees Association may sign an appropriate
authorization form requesting membership fees through the
appropriate state or agency's payroll system. Deductions may be
made on a regular basis throughout the year. Provided, Further,
That at any time, the employee or the state may, through an
appropriate procedure with 10 days notice, instruct the state or
agency to discontinue the payroll deduction of the membership
fee. Provided, Further, That notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no payroll deduction of the membership fee for any
present, retired, or future state employee to the South Carolina
State Employees' Association is permitted if this Association at
any time engages in collective bargaining or encourages its
members to strike. The provisions of this proviso are not
severable from any provisions contained herein which authorize
the payroll deductions of membership fees for any present,
retired or future state employee to the South Carolina State
Employees' Association.
 Provided, Further, That the regulations of the Comptroller
General established for meal and travel reimbursement shall
contain a provision to prohibit the reimbursement of any meal
expenses which are not allowable as an expense deduction under
the Federal Internal Revenue Code.

provided in this Section under "Judicial Circuit (16)-State
Support", and such funds may be utilized in conjunction with
local and federal funds.
 Provided, Further, That the amount appropriated in this section
for "Judicial Circuits (16)-State Support" shall be apportioned
among the circuits at a rate of 75 cents per capita, based on the
official United States Census of 1980. Provided, Further, That
payment shall be made to each Judicial Circuit in two equal
payments, which shall be made as soon after the beginning of the
first and third quarter as practical.
 Provided, Further, That no circuit shall receive less than
$45,000 as its share of the above apportionment.
 Provided, Further, That each solicitor shall enter into an
agreement with a county within his circuit to act as his

of funding the Catawba Indian Litigation.
 Provided, Further, That the  $350,000.00 appropriated in this
section for a Victim/Witness Program shall be equally divided

their case from its filing in General Session Court through
disposition.
 (b) Keep the victim/witness informed of his rights and support
his right to protection from intimidation.

 Provided, Further, That it is the intent of the General Assembly
that the amounts appropriated in this section for victim
assistance programs in solicitors' offices shall be in addition
to any amounts presently being provided by the county for these
services and may not be used to supplant funding already
allocated for such services. Any reduction by any county in
funding for victim assistance programs in solicitors' offices
shall result in a corresponding decrease of state funds provided
to the solicitors' office in that county for victim assistance
services. Each solicitor's office shall submit an annual
financial and programmatic report which describes the use of
these funds. The report shall be submitted to the Governor, the
Attorney General, the Speaker of the House, and the President of
the Senate on October 1, for the preceding fiscal year. The first
such report shall be submitted on October 1, 1985, based on a
format to be distributed by the Attorney General's Office.
 Provided, Further, That of the amount appropriated herein,
$90,000 must be used only for the purpose of major litigation and

regulations of the administering county. Provided, Further, That
the accounting of expenditures herein specified for the
expenditure of state support funds by each solicitor shall be
