SECTION 2. (A) Of the funds appropriated above in Section 1, item (4) to the Commission on Higher Education for Out-of-State Veteran Tuition Reimbursement - Colleges, the Office of State Treasurer is directed to establish a fund, separate and distinct from the general fund and all other funds, entitled the College and University Out-of-State Veteran Tuition Differential Reimbursement Fund. Any funds appropriated in this act for this purpose must be deposited into the fund and interest accrued by the fund must remain in the fund.
(B) The purpose of the fund is to reimburse public institutions of higher learning, as defined in Section 59-103-5 of the 1976 Code, for revenue loss resulting from the provisions of Section 59-112-50(C). By March 1, 2016, a public institution of higher learning seeking a reimbursement from this fund must submit an application to the Commission on Higher Education to receive a reimbursement from the fund. The total reimbursement to a public institution may not exceed the difference between the amount the institution would have charged but for Section 59-112-50(C), and the amount the institution actually charged. The Commission on Higher Education may require any proof it determines necessary to verify the veracity of the application.
(C) By June 15, 2016, the Commission on Higher Education must distribute the funds to those institutions that have applied pursuant to subsection (B). In the event that the total requested and verified reimbursements exceed the amount in the fund, the distribution to each public institution shall be reduced pro rata based on the institution's amount of verified reimbursements compared to the total amount of verified reimbursements of all institutions.
SECTION 3. Of the funds appropriated above in Section 1 to institutions of higher learning entitled "Maintenance: Critical Care and Repair (1:1 Match)", each institution shall use the amount appropriated only for critical repair and related maintenance and/or other critical equipment and systems repair and maintenance that are necessary for the safe and efficient operation of an institution's physical plant in its support of the institution's educational purpose.
Funds must not be used for new construction and may only be utilized by an institution to the extent the funds are matched by the institution for necessary repair and maintenance projects generally.
Matching funds exclude supplemental, capital reserve, lottery, or non-recurring state funds appropriated to an institution either in the current fiscal year or from a prior fiscal year for repair and maintenance or maintenance projects.
Prior to the utilization of these funds, institutions must certify to the Commission on Higher Education, in a manner it prescribes, the extent to which they have met this requirement, including the sources of funds utilized to meet this requirement.
Not later than 120 days after the close of the fiscal year, the Commission on Higher Education shall report to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee regarding the utilization of this provision.
Funds not expended in the prior fiscal year may be carried forward into the current fiscal year and utilized for the same purpose, subject to the same matching requirement.
SECTION 4. Funds appropriated above in Section 1, item (79) to the Department of Transportation shall be used to fund the Orangeburg District Office Building Renovation, Clarendon County Maintenance Complex Construction, SHEP Greenville/Spartanburg Office Construction, and Lexington Maintenance Complex Construction.
SECTION 5. The Comptroller General shall post the appropriations contained in SECTION 1 of this joint resolution as provided in Section 11-11-320(D) of the 1976 Code. Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to SECTION 1 of this joint resolution may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years and expended for the same purposes.
SECTION 6. This joint resolution takes effect thirty days after the completion of the 2014-2015 Fiscal Year in accordance with the provisions of Section 36(B)(3)(a), Article III, Constitution of South Carolina, 1895, and Section 11-11-320(D)(1) of the 1976 Code.
