A provision in the General Appropriation Act reads as follows:

"Donations or contributions from sources other than the Federal Government, for use by any state agency, shall be deposited in the State Treasury, but in special accounts, and shall be withdrawn from the treasury as needed to fulfill the purposes and conditions of the said donations, or contributions, if specified, and, if not specified, as may be directed by the proper authorities of the department."

"The expenditure of funds by agencies of the State Government from sources other than General Fund appropriations shall be subject to the same limitations and provisions of law applicable to the expenditure of appropriated funds with respect to salaries, wages or other compensation, travel expense, and other allowances or benefits for employees."

Section 2-65-20 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina 1976 requires the prior approval of the Governor and Joint Appropriation Review Committee to receive and expend any funds. (See Appropriation of Funds in the Funds Section)

Approved authorizations for expenditure must be secured from the Governor and Joint Appropriations Review Committee and reviewed by Budget and Control Board prior to submission and processing disbursement vouchers for expenditures. (See Appropriation of Funds and Other Funds Authorization in the Funds Section)

The disbursement vouchers expending funds which were donated for a specific purpose should indicate the "specific purpose" on the voucher.

Funds other than Federal Funds or those appropriated from the general funds, which are included in the state general appropriation act and acts supplemental thereto and authorized for expenditure, shall not require subsequent approval by the Governor or the (Joint Appropriation Review) Committee if the expenditures are in accord with the line item appropriation of the act.
