AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 1-11-420 SO AS TO PRESCRIBE THE DUTIES OF THE STATE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR, RECEIPT OF, PRINTING, AND DISTRIBUTION OF ANNUAL REPORTS OF STATE AGENCIES, DEPARTMENTS, AND INSTITUTIONS, AND TO PROHIBIT THE PRINTING OF THE REPORTS IN MULTICOLOR FORMAT EXCEPT WHEN THAT FORMAT CAN BE OBTAINED AT THE SAME COST AS BLACK AND WHITE PRINTING AND TO PROHIBIT THE PRINTING OF PICTURES OF GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS AND AGENCY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES.

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.
