 January 6, 2023

To the People of South Carolina and Members of the General Assembly:

I submit to you my Executive Budget for 2023-24 as well as my recommendations for the
appropriation of remaining federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

The State of South Carolina is richly blessed with a hardworking and talented people. Our shared
natural history, abundant natural resources and prosperous economy make us the envy of others
and attractive to all. In fact, South Carolina was the third fastest growing state in the nation
according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

South Carolina’s booming economy has once again created a record budget surplus, this year
totaling over $3.8 billion in unexpected revenue. State government is in superior fiscal shape, we
have the largest rainy day reserve fund balance and lowest amount of debt – than at any other time
in recent memory.

So, it should come as no surprise that 2022 was the most successful year for economic development
in our state’s history, with the record for the largest single economic development project
announcement being broken twice in the same year.

Last year, we announced 120 projects that will create over 14,000 new jobs with $10.27 billion in
new capital investment. This represents a 138% increase in new capital investment over the
previous year (2021) and a 118% increase compared to five years ago.

In another sign of South Carolina’s economic strength, last year saw a 371% increase in foreign
direct investment from the previous year. Every day, employers are creating new jobs,
entrepreneurs are opening new businesses, and companies are deciding to locate in South Carolina.

But the past twelve months have not been without challenges for the people of South Carolina.
The reckless and irresponsible behavior of President Biden and his administration have resulted in
skyrocketing inflation and sharp interest rate hikes. Left unchecked, run-away federal spending
has created the real specter of a recession looming on the horizon.

Yet I remain excited about the future of our state because I have faith in the people of South Carolina, and
the faith they have placed in those they have elected to represent them in the General Assembly. And I
am excited to renew our successful partnership, one that has been based on working together through
collaboration, communication, and cooperation. We are presented with an opportunity to take bold
transformative actions that will help expediate prosperity for generations of our people to come.

This past November, South Carolinians overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment increasing
the minimum required balance in the rainy-day reserve fund from 5% to 7% of the total amount of General
Appropriations Act funds available to be appropriated in any year.

I ask the General Assembly to set aside an additional $500 million to voluntarily increase the rainy-day
reserve fund minimum balance from 7% to 10%. By saving this money instead of spending it - something
that served our state well during the recent pandemic - we will once again be prepared for any future
economic uncertainties, should they arise.

Until recently, South Carolina had the highest personal income tax rate in the southeast and the 12th
highest in the nation. No more. Last year, I was honored to sign into law the largest income tax cut in
state history and, as such, my executive budget recognizes this year’s $87.5 million scheduled cut to the
income tax rate.

In February, the state Board of Economic Advisors is scheduled to issue an updated revenue forecast for
FY 2023-24. Should revenues allow, I will recommend that the General Assembly use additional funds
to speed up the income tax cut schedule, so taxpayers keep more of their hard-earned money.

In addition, I recommend setting aside a significant amount of funds to re-invest in our state’s record-
breaking economic development efforts, rather than borrowing it through the issuance of bonds. A one-
time appropriation of $500 million will allow the Department of Commerce to satisfy all outstanding
obligations and incentives without borrowing money. An additional one-time appropriation of $200
million will allow the department to identify and secure properties for future mega-site development.

In 2022, the state Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) received $800 million in ARPA funds to replace,
repair, and consolidate our state's aging and outdated rural water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure,
through competitive grants. Demand exceeded supply, and RIA received grant applications in 2022 for
almost $2 billion. I am recommending the General Assembly appropriate $380 million in remaining
ARPA funds to RIA so that they may continue awarding these transformative grants.

South Carolina's mountains, beaches, sea islands, and marshes are among the most beautiful in the nation.
This land, as noted by the explorers for kings and queens, is lush, fertile, and brimming with abundance.
Ours is an incomparable cultural and environmental heritage which distinguishes our state and people
from others.
Page Three
January 6, 2023

Economic growth and the preservation of our shared natural heritage and environment are not opposing
objectives which must be balanced as in a competition, one against the other. Instead, they are
complementary, intertwined, and inseparable, each dependent on the other.

I am recommending that a total $266 million be appropriated to the Conservation Land Bank, the
Department of Natural Resources, and the Office of Resilience, for the purpose of identifying and
preserving culturally or environmentally significant properties and tracts in which public access is in
jeopardy of being lost forever due to development, mismanagement, flooding, erosion or from storm
damage.

There is no infrastructure more in need of big, bold, and continued investment than our state’s roads,
bridges, highways, and interstates. Because our booming economy and rapid population growth have
outpaced the state’s ability to keep up with improvements to our transportation infrastructure, we must
continue to make big, bold, and transformative investments.

To catch up, the Department of Transportation (SCDOT) was allocated almost $1 billion last year to
accelerate and jump start construction, expansion, or improvements to our State-owned roads, bridges,
highways, and to widen interstates.

This year, my Executive Budget provides an additional $850 million to expedite the start and completion
of SCDOT projects that will relieve traffic congestion, repair, or replace over 400 bridges, and to enhance
repaving and resurfacing on our local and secondary roads.

My Executive Budget proposes to continue the remarkable progress we have made in raising teacher pay.
Six years ago the minimum starting salary of a teacher in South Carolina was $30,113 and the average
teacher salary was below the southeastern average.

Today, the minimum starting salary of a teacher in South Carolina is $40,000 and the average teacher
salary now exceeds the southeastern average. My Executive Budget proposes increasing teacher salaries
by $2,500 at every step of the state salary schedule, making the new minimum starting teacher salary
$42,500. My goal by 2026 is a minimum starting salary of at least $50,000.

In addition, my Executive Budget provides every eligible public-school teacher for school year 2023-2024
with a $2,500 retention supplement, half in December and the other half in May.

Until last year, South Carolina’s system for funding K-12 education was archaic and confusing, a
piecemeal system consisting of 29 separate line-item appropriations. Now, a consolidated formula makes
sure that funding follows the child. It keeps pace with student enrollments and provides financial resources
to support a state average student-teacher ratio of 11.2 students per teacher with an average teacher salary
including fringe benefits of $72,991. This Executive Budget also increases State Aid to Classrooms by
$254 million.

In addition, this Executive Budget provides $25 million in lottery dollars for the creation of education
scholarship accounts (ESAs), pending a change in the law by the General Assembly. These funds will
allow low-income parents to choose the type of education environment and instruction that best suits their
child’s unique needs.

Access and affordability to higher education for every South Carolinian is essential to ensuring that our
state has the trained and skilled workforce to compete for jobs and investment in the future. That means
we must invest to make all higher education - our colleges, universities, and technical colleges - accessible
and affordable for the sons and daughters of South Carolina.

To address the historic labor crisis affecting key sectors of South Carolina’s economy, I am requesting
that the General Assembly invest an additional $78 million in lottery funds to expand Workforce
Scholarships for the Future through the South Carolina Technical College System.

In the last two years, this very successful program has allowed over 10,000 South Carolinians to earn an
industry credential in high-demand careers like manufacturing, healthcare, computer science, information
technology, transportation, logistics, or construction.

This Executive Budget marks the fourth consecutive year that I have proposed the General Assembly
freeze college tuition for in-state students, with an appropriation to our institutions of higher education of
$43 million. This represents the 5.2% increase in the Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) for 2022 and
is based on the number of in-state students enrolled at each public institution.

Also, I propose providing $80 million so that every South Carolinian who qualifies for federal needs-
based financial aid - as measured by federal Pell Grants - has sufficient state financial assistance to attend
any in-state public college, university, or technical college. Students at private, independent, and
historically black colleges and universities will receive an additional $20 million for tuition grants and
assistance.

We must continue to address the repairs needed at the aging, state-owned buildings, and infrastructure on
the campuses of our colleges, universities, and technical colleges. I ask the General Assembly to join me
in paying down the state’s deferred maintenance liability with $209 million in capital reserve funds to be
distributed pro-rata based on each institution’s fall 2022 in-state enrollment - rather than borrowing it and
creating more debt in the future through a bond bill.

In addition, I ask that the General Assembly complete the funding of the Battelle Alliance, a collaborative
nuclear sciences research partnership between the University of South Carolina, Clemson University,
South Carolina State University, and the Savannah River National Laboratory. With an appropriation of
$100 million ($40 million USC, $40 million CU and $20 million SCSU) the alliance will develop
workforce training programs designed to fill engineering, science, research, and management positions
for nuclear facilities operated by the Department of Energy.

To keep South Carolinians safe, we must maintain a robust law enforcement presence - and properly “fund
the police.” Our state law enforcement agencies continue to lose valuable and experienced personnel
because they are unable to remain competitive with pay and benefits.

Thanks to the comprehensive compensation review conducted by the Department of Administration, our
state law enforcement and criminal justice agencies have begun to stem the tide of personnel loss with
$40 million in recruitment and retention pay raises provided in last year’s General Appropriations Act. I
am proposing that we build on this momentum, by providing an additional $21.5 million for recruitment
and retention pay raises in FY 23-24.

I am also proposing a $2,000 state income tax credit for every active-duty law enforcement officer,
firefighter, first responder, and emergency medical technician employed by a public entity. This
nonrefundable tax credit will provide a total of $38.4 million in income tax relief for those who put their
lives on the line each day to protect and serve the public. Additionally, this budget maintains a proviso
suspending the $10,000 retirement cap for anyone enrolled in the Police Officer Retirement System. This
will allow retired officers to return to work and fill existing vacancies.

Placing an armed, certified school resource officer (SRO) in every school, in every county, all day, every
day, has been one of my top priorities as governor. At my request, the General Assembly began funding
a grant program administered by the Department of Public Safety, to provide school districts with funds
to hire more resource officers for our state’s 1,283 public schools. The grant program has been very
successful and has more than doubled the number of officers assigned to a school, going from 406 in 2018
to 982 in 2022. I am recommending an additional $27.3 million appropriation for the SRO grant program
in FY 2023-24. This will add an officer in 188 schools currently without an assigned SRO.

To train our state’s SROs, I recommend providing the State Law Enforcement Division with $3.5 million
to create the Center for School Safety and Targeted Violence. Located at the old Gilbert Elementary
School, this partnership with Lexington School District One will provide a state-of-the-art training center
for law enforcement and school personnel from around the state.

It’s been very clear that a mental health crisis exists in South Carolina following the COVID 19 pandemic.

To meet the growing demand for mental and behavioral health services, I am recommending an allocation
of nearly $45 million to the Department of Mental Health. These funds will support the agency’s ability
to recruit and retain mental health professionals, provide inpatient services, increase access to crisis
continuum of care services such as suicide prevention hotlines including one specifically for veterans, and
community-based treatment services.

It’s also clear that the time has come for a modern-day re-evaluation, and re-invention and restructuring
of South Carolina’s siloed healthcare delivery agencies.
Page Six
January 6, 2023

My Executive Budget includes a $5 million appropriation to the Department of Administration for the
purpose of procuring the professional expertise necessary to analyze and provide the General Assembly,
by June 30, 2024, with a comprehensive plan to restructure services provided by the Department of Mental
Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Health and Environmental Control,
among others.

Our booming economy sometimes puts state agencies at a disadvantage with the private sector – when
they are recruiting employees or trying to retain good employees. My Executive Budget provides $78
million for recruitment and retention salary increases for state employees; $2 million for a one-time $2,500
sign on bonus for new first time state government hires; and $2 million to the Department of
Administration to assist state agencies with marketing and advertising for hard to fill positions.

I am also recommending there be no increase in premiums for State Health Plan participants and that we
add an annual OBGYN exam for all females covered by the State Health Plan at no additional cost, similar
to the existing no-cost adult wellness visit that was added two years ago.

Finally, the South Carolina Retirement System, often called the “state pension plan,” has one of the largest
unfunded liabilities in the nation at nearly $24 billion. The system only has assets equal to 64% of what
is required to pay beneficiaries, which places our pension system fifth worst in the nation.

Once again, I propose that the state pension plan be closed to new beneficiaries as of December 31, 2023,
and new state employees prospectively enrolled in the State Optional Retirement Program, which is a
defined contribution plan. Another year of inaction is another year the unfunded liability in the pension
plan will increase. We cannot kick this can down the road any further.

In conclusion, by thinking big, by being bold and by making these transformative investments that I have
proposed, I believe we will set our State on a course that will provide the opportunity for prosperity,
success, and happiness for generations of South Carolinians.

Let us continue working together. I believe in South Carolina, I believe in America, and I believe the best
is yet to come.

Yours very truly,

Henry McMaster

 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE & WORKFORCE

The FY 2023-2024 Executive Budget recommends:

South Carolina Department of Commerce

• $500 million non-recurring funds to keep state commitments for announced economic
development projects, rather than taking on debt to pay for them;
• $200 million non-recurring funds for strategic economic development infrastructure in
order to develop megasites, which are crucial to competing for large-scale economic
development projects driving future economic growth;
• $51 million non-recurring funds to repay an interagency loan granted in 2015 to Palmetto
Railways to ensure the Navy Base Intermodal Facility (NBIF) project moved forward on
a timeline that would allow it to be open near the time of completion of the Hugh K.
Leatherman Terminal;
• $20 million non-recurring funds for local economic development grants;
• $3.7 million non-recurring funds for the state’s Closing Fund;
• $1 million non-recurring funds and $500,000 recurring funds for strategic marketing
purposes;

South Carolina Department of Agriculture

• $75 million non-recurring funds to recruit agribusiness to South Carolina via an
economic development matching grant program;
• $2.375 million non-recurring funds to renovate the Greenville State Farmers Market
facilities;
• $1.122 million non-recurring funds to provide more advanced and efficient tools for
fueling location inspectors, thereby reducing inspection times while providing a less
labor-intensive inspection that reduces the likelihood of a workplace injury and workers’
compensation claim;
• $1 million non-recurring funds to support the strategic marketing initiative of the
“Certified SC” brand.

South Carolina State University – Public Service Activities (PSA)

• $2 million non-recurring funds to support small agribusiness expansion and reach new
markets.

Economic Development. South Carolina’s economy is booming. According to Area

Development magazine’s 2022 ranking, South Carolina ranks third overall for best places in the
country to do business. The 2022 Executive Survey of Site Selection ranked South Carolina sixth
in the nation. As a result, our state continues to win many new economic development projects,
especially in our manufacturing sector. Of the $27.26 billion in new capital investment that has
been announced since 2017, $10.27 billion was announced in 2022 alone - the most in state
history. This includes the single largest announcement in the history of South Carolina –
Redwood Materials – at $3.5 billion and 1,500 new jobs; $1.7 billion invested by BMW for the
manufacturing of electric vehicles and battery assemblies and Envision AESC investing $810
million to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles.

6
With these projects come financial obligations. Rather than fulfilling those obligations by issuing
new state debt, we believe it is wiser and more fiscally responsible to use currently available
funds. Therefore, this Executive Budget proposes $500 million in non-recurring funds for the
Department of Commerce to meet its obligations to previously committed economic
development projects. These funds would support infrastructure needs, such as site preparation,
roads, bridges, rail, water, and sewer, and workforce training requirements for these large-scale
developments. We have been good stewards of the taxpayer’s money when negotiating these
economic development deals, so we must honor our commitments without incurring new debt.

Additionally, we recommend allocating $200 million in non-recurring funds for the Department
of Commerce to acquire and develop land to be certified as megasites, using existing state
government review and approval processes. We are in fierce competition with neighboring states
to attract businesses from around the world, and we’re winning. These megasites would be new
tools in the toolbox for our Department of Commerce as they work to recruit these businesses.
For a state or community to be competitive in the megasite arena, we must be willing to invest
now to compete and win these projects in the future. Megasites must be shovel-ready with
established utilities and transportation infrastructure in order to attract large investments from the
private sector.

Local governments are aggressively pursuing their own economic development projects and
have needs beyond transportation infrastructure. To support these efforts, this Executive Budget
proposes the creation of a $20 million grant program for local governments to apply for funding
to support their efforts. The City of Myrtle Beach, the fastest growing city in state, could benefit
from these funds by using them to continue its development of local infrastructure to keep up
with demand.

Agribusiness. The Department of Agriculture has identified a lack of food processing and
packaging capacity. Currently, 68 percent of the state's agribusiness products bought in South
Carolina come from elsewhere. To counter this, the Executive Budget proposes a $75 million
Agribusiness Fund Matching Grant Program to increase food processing and packaging capacity.
With this increased capacity also comes a need for additional cold-storage capacity, and the
intent with this funding is to incentivize small, family-owned businesses to expand especially in
Tier III and Tier IV counties.

Through an aggressive communications strategy with agricultural business leaders, SCDA

estimates the potential investment value of this economic development strategy is approximately
$860 million, while creating nearly 1,500 new jobs. This matching reimbursable grant program
will follow similar processes to that of our neighboring states, who’ve already seen success with
similar programs.

With increased processing capacity comes additional opportunities for livestock and feed.
According to a Clemson University survey, this investment could increase beef cattle processed
in state by 4,250 cattle per year and 300,000 chicken, turkeys per year. And according to Dr. Von
Nessen with USC’s Moore School of Business, if just 25 percent of the current unmet demand
for processing were captured by South Carolina farms and processors, there would be an increase
of $511 million annually to the state’s rural economy.

7
Department of Transportation (SCDOT)
• $550 million for bridge infrastructure; $500 million non-recurring and $50 million
recurring funds;
• $300 million non-recurring funds for I-73;
• $2 million non-recurring funds for litter control for off-interstate roadways.

Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA)

• $380 million non-recurring ARPA funds for rural water and sewer infrastructure.

State Ports Authority

• $1 million non-recurring funds for the Jasper Ocean Terminal Port Facility Infrastructure
Fund.

Division of Aeronautics
• $10 million non-recurring funds to replace at least one, and possibly both, state-owned
aircraft that are nearly 40 years old and beyond their service lifetime.

Infrastructure. South Carolina’s unmatched global connectivity continues to provide unlimited

opportunities for our people. The Palmetto State has one of the nation's fastest-growing container
ports, two innovative inland ports, thirty-three airports with at least one 5,000-foot runway, 2,300
miles of rail lines and more than 41,000 miles of state-maintained highways. The Port of
Charleston has the deepest harbor – 52 feet – on the East Coast of the United States and has seen
its volume grow exponentially this year. There are 208 million people, two-thirds of the U.S.
population, within two days drive of South Carolina.

In 2017, SCDOT launched its 10-Year Plan to improve South Carolina’s transportation network.
This plan strategically invests state and federal dollars into the state’s highways to rehabilitate
aging infrastructure, while also supporting South Carolina’s continued and future growth in
commerce and new residents. The plan is focused on four key areas: 1) repaving thousands of
miles of state highway; 2) replacing and repairing 500 aging bridges; 3) reducing South
Carolina’s rural road fatality rate by making safety improvements to 1,250 miles of rural roads;
and 4) widening critical segments of the state’s interstates and keeping the arteries of commerce
flowing for South Carolina. With construction zones in all 46 counties, progress is being made
on South Carolina’s transportation network to improve existing infrastructure and address South
Carolina’s phenomenal growth.

This Executive Budget aims to accelerate the 10-Year Plan and bolsters investment in bridges by
recommending $500 million in non-recurring funds and $50 million in recurring funds to further
invest in bridge projects and leverage available federal infrastructure funding. These dollars will
be focused on accelerating the repair and replacement of existing bridges on interstates and
primary highways. Of 1,778 bridges on the interstate and primary road network, 1,125 (63%)
need repair or replacement. With significant investments in the Port of Charleston providing the
opportunity for more growth and more freight volumes in all parts of South Carolina, investing
in these bridges will improve freight mobility across the state. This will provide all communities
in South Carolina – both rural and urban – with better connections to the global economy and the
job opportunities associated with it. Continued investment in road and bridge infrastructure will

8
help South Carolina deal with continued population growth and position South Carolina for
continued economic success.

This Executive Budget again recommends a $300 million investment to begin construction on I-
73 in South Carolina. This investment will provide an important boost to start work on a project
that will serve as a catalyst for local and federal government partners to finalize their own
investment plans. This new interstate will connect supply chains to efficiently move goods and
services across our state and infrastructure that connects our people to jobs, healthcare, and
education. It has been reported that the completion of I-73 may create 29,000 new jobs and pump
billions of new dollars into the Grand Strand and Pee Dee regions. In addition, I-73 will help
save the lives of Grand Strand residents and visitors by providing a critical means of evacuation
in the event of a hurricane or natural disaster and in some cases will reduce evacuation times by
up to 15 hours. I-73 will be a transformative component in South Carolina’s future economic
prosperity; let’s seize this opportunity.

This Executive Budget recommends a $380 million investment in the revitalization of South
Carolina’s water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. Last year, RIA received $800
million in ARPA funds for this purpose and received nearly $2 billion in requests, showcasing
demand far exceeding supply. RIA will begin awarding grants by the end of January and the
balance of the funds it received last year will be distributed to local governments by the summer.
RIA is best situated to distribute this funding because of existing grant management and
accountability processes, and the agency already has received 309 grant applications from local
water authorities. Modernizing the state’s water and sewer infrastructure through this proposal
will support public health and economic development by making rural areas even more attractive
for capital investment. It will also support improved efficiency and stewardship of taxpayer
funds by promoting regionalization and coordination between larger and small water and sewer
systems.

Our roadways are used by millions of visitors who travel to and throughout South Carolina. In
2018 we signed Act 214 to strengthen penalties for littering. There are 41,500 miles of state-
owned roads and we want them to be as litter-free as possible. This Executive Budget
recommends $2 million in non-recurring dollars to fund SCDOT’s litter control efforts and fulfill
the spirit of Act 214.

Technical College System

• $78 million lottery funds for Workforce Scholarships for the Future, doubling the funding
in the current fiscal year;
• $26.9 million lottery funds for high-demand job skill training equipment, an increase of
$6.2 million over the current fiscal year;
• $17 million lottery funds for SC WINS;
• $2 million lottery funds for ReadySC to support training needs for companies.

Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW)

• $500,000 recurring funds for the Be Pro Be Proud initiative to increase interest in the
skilled, professional trades.

Workforce Development. South Carolina has taken bold steps to empower the current and next
generation’s workforce. Area Development ranks South Carolina third among all states for its
workforce development programs. This ranking does not come by accident, as Governor
McMaster has recommended millions of additional funding toward enhancing workforce
training, development and education than any governor in modern times – to make sure all the
assets and opportunities are in place to help South Carolinians achieve and sustain financial
independence and prosperity. This targeted investment in the people of South Carolina has
contributed to historically low unemployment in South Carolina and per capita personal income
that has surpassed $50,000 for the first time in state history.

Strategic investment in the state’s workforce development programs has been a key driver in the
state’s economic success and now is not the time to pause those efforts. Despite the state’s low
unemployment rate, people remain out of work and businesses continue to face challenges in
filling jobs. As of January 3, 2023, DEW reported that there are 92,883 jobs available throughout
the state. This Executive Budget continues to place focus on training, reskilling, and upskilling
South Carolinians to help them obtain a job.

According to DEW, “critical needs” jobs account for 45% of the workforce, while only 29% of
people have the necessary skills to fill those jobs. And, according to a report by the Lumina
Foundation, by 2025, 60% of Americans will need some type of high-quality credential beyond
high school to participate in the workforce.

South Carolina has the people and the resources it needs - what is important is that we expand
our investment in technical education and workforce development so that our people continue to
play a decisive role in recruiting new business. Since 2021, Governor McMaster has invested
$55 million in South Carolina’s workforce through the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief
(GEER) Fund to provide workforce tech scholarships to cover the cost of tuition and required
fees at any technical college in South Carolina. This investment has prioritized in-demand
positions that are critical to the state’s healthcare system and economy, including nursing and
commercial truck drivers, and has led to over 10,000 South Carolinians earning an industry
credential. For FY 2022-2023, the Executive Budget recommended $124 million in ARPA funds
and $16 million in lottery funds for workforce tech scholarships, but ultimately these
scholarships received $39 million. This program has a proven track record of success and this
Executive Budget requests doubling its funding to $78 million.

This funding will provide thousands of South Carolinians with the skills needed to thrive in high-
demand careers and ensure our economy will have the workforce needed to attract further jobs
and investment from companies worldwide. Beginning in January 2022, any adult or recent high
school graduate in South Carolina is eligible to use these scholarship funds for associate degrees
or industry credentials in high-demand careers like manufacturing, health care, information
technology, logistics, or construction. Workforce tech scholarships have lowered out-of-pocket
costs to nearly zero for students, including little to zero student loan debt.

State-Owned Aircraft. The Division of Aeronautics maintains and operates two small airplanes
that are both nearly 40 years old and nearing their service lifetime. The stark reality is that both
aircraft are on the verge of being grounded because they are not airworthy. This Executive

10
Budget recommends $10 million in non-recurring funds to sell the current King Air 350 and
purchase a safer used King Air 350.

11
 EDUCATION

The FY 2023-2024 Executive Budget recommends the following funding for PreK-12 education
and higher education initiatives:

PreK-12 Education
• $254 million recurring general funds and EIA funds for State Aid to Classrooms to

12
This Executive Budget urges the General Assembly to continue to make targeted education
investments that prepare students for the workforce of the 21st century.

Early Learning and Kindergarten Readiness. To increase the percentage of children who enter
our public schools ready to learn, South Carolina in school year 2021-22 expanded full-day 4K
to all at-risk children in the state. Today, we are serving 16,103 children in the program, which is
an all-time high.

Student Enrollment in State-Funded Full-day 4K Program by Type of Provider

Fiscal Year Private Providers Public Providers Total
2017-18 1,945 11,149 13,094
2018-19 2,458 9,748 12,206
2019-20 2,455 10,609 13,064
2020-21 2,131 8,591 10,722
2021-22 2,727 10,801 13,528
2022-23 3,080 13,023 16,103
Note: Enrollment for FY 2017-18 are based on enrollment on the 135th day of the school year.
Enrollment for FY 2022-23 is based on enrollment as of November 4, 2022 for public providers
and enrollment as of November 1, 2022 for private providers.

The data continue to document that a child in poverty who participates in a full-day four-year-old
(4K) program in a public school or private child care center/school is more likely to be ready for
kindergarten than their peers who did not participate.

Percentage of Children Entering Kindergarten Ready to Learn

Fall All Children who Participated in Children in Poverty who did NOT
Children full-day 4K program Participate in full-day 4K program
2018 37% 36% N/A
2019 39% 39% N/A
2020 27% 21% 18%
2021 36% 33% 24%
Note: N/A – not applicable. Data could not be disaggregated.

Consequently, due to increased student enrollment and increased instructional costs, the
Executive Budget recommends increasing the EIA appropriation to the full-day 4K program by
$20.3 million. The Department of Education would receive $15.1 million and the Office of First
Steps, $5.2 million.

We must ensure that children start school ready to learn.

Teaching and Learning. S.C. Code Ann. § 59-1-50 defines the educational objectives for all
students in our state: students who graduate from a public high school should have the
knowledge, skills and characteristics to be college, career and citizenship ready. To achieve these
objectives, the FY 2023-24 Executive Budget invests an additional $254 million to State Aid to
Classrooms through recurring general fund and recurring EIA dollars, continuing

13
implementation of the new funding formula that promotes simplicity, flexibility, and
accountability.
These additional funds will increase the minimum starting salary for a teacher from $40,000 to
$42,500 and every cell in the State Minimum Teacher Salary Schedule by $2,500. For example,
the minimum teacher salary for a teacher with eleven years of service and a master’s degree is
increased to $55,104. Adding in the cost of fringe benefits, which also increased from 31.46% to
32.46%, the average cost to hire a teacher is increased from $69,153 to $72,991.

This advances Governor McMaster’s goal of achieving a minimum starting salary for every
teacher in the state of at least $50,000 by 2026. In 2018, the minimum starting salary for a
public-school teacher was $30,113. The objective remains to catapult the Palmetto State into the
top 25 states nationally for average teacher pay.

Continuing to simplify the education funding streams, this Executive Budget also consolidates
five additional line items into State Aid to Classrooms.

Teacher Recruitment and Retention. While the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Task Force
will make its recommendations by May 31, 2023, this Executive Budget includes the following
initiatives to support the recruitment and retention of teachers:

• $132.5 million non-recurring EIA funds for a $2,500 retention supplement for teachers
who are continuously employed throughout the 2023-24 school year.

• $20 million non-recurring EIA funds to the Department of Education to conduct

innovative pilot programming to improve educator retention and recruitment, with a
focus on hard-to-staff subject areas and high-need schools. The innovative pilot
programming will target schools and school districts that have struggled to recruit and
retain outstanding educators, especially those teaching in certain critical geographic
and/or subject areas in the South Carolina school system. The pilot programming would
emphasize and measure demonstrated impact in retaining educators and ensure they are
serving the most students possible in high-need geographic areas. State Superintendent of
Education-elect Ellen Weaver requested these funds.

• $3 million recurring EIA funds to increase the amount of funds each teacher receives to
offset the cost of purchasing classrooms supplies from $300 to $350 per teacher. A 2021
study issued by the National Center for Education Statistics found that 94 percent of
teachers reported spending their own money for classroom supplies. The study found that
the average unreimbursed expenditure among teachers was $478 per year, and the median
amount was $297.

• $1 million recurring EIA funds to the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention and
Advancement (CERRA) of which at least half will support expansion of the Teaching
Fellows Program.

• $995,349 EIA revenues to state agencies to adjust the pay of all instructional personnel to
the level provided in the school district in which the agency is located. These agencies

14
 include: Wil Lou Gray Opportunity School, School for the Deaf and Blind, the
Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, the Governor’s School for Science and
Mathematics, the Governor’s School for Agriculture at John de la Howe, and Clemson
University, where agricultural education teachers are located.

Improving K-12 Student Outcomes. To further help students catch up from pandemic learning
loss, the Executive Budget invests $15 million for high intensity tutoring programs for students
who did not perform at or above grade level in math and/or English on state or formative
assessments in school years 2022-23 or 2023-24. Such intensive tutoring would include funds for
“vacation academies” whereby effective teachers in elementary and middle schools work with
small groups of no more than ten students in a single subject over week-long vacation breaks. An
additional $300,000 will be used to pilot a reading instruction assessment that will determine if
teachers pursuing initial licensure in elementary education are prepared to teach students how to
read.

Further, $8 million will provide the following support to teachers: (1) develop support
documents that identify the essential math content and standards to engage teachers and
instructional leaders; (2) provide high-quality math resources to support and accelerate on-grade-
level instruction in mathematics; and (3) provide professional development that emphasizes deep
math understanding, progressions of learning, and conceptual understanding.

South Carolina schools must provide students the ability to explore career options, especially in
high-demand fields like healthcare and information technology. To do this, the Executive Budget
recommends $12.5 million for Career and Technology education programs, which will assist
districts in purchasing the equipment needed to support CTE programs in our state. In addition,
funds allocated to multi-district career centers through the State Aid to Classrooms line item are
now consolidated into this line item.

Computer science education is critical to prepare for the 21st century. According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, 61 percent of all new STEM (Science Technology Engineering and
Mathematics) jobs are in computing. These jobs are in every industry and every state and are
projected to grow at twice the rate of all other jobs. To prepare our students for these careers, the
investment of $5.0 million in computer science education will be used to implement the K-8
computer science education in our state. Specifically, the funds will provide certifications and
endorsements for teachers in computer science, purchase statewide contracts for instructional
video games, and expand virtual courses in advanced computer science.

To expand the number of students who graduate from high school with the 21st century
workforce skills, $200,000 is recommended for the South Carolina Council on Competitiveness.
This will expand the Council’s work-based learning opportunities for students and identify viable
employability skills assessments used by other states and businesses for use in South Carolina.
This change reflects a shift in the priorities of the TransformSC initiative begun in 2011. The
Council will communicate the current business skill needs to educators and showcase student
strengths and challenges to businesses to facilitate student success and improve business hiring
and retention. TransformSC will also identify areas in which South Carolina’s career pathways

15
programs align and fail to align with industry needs and recommend policies to increase
alignment and success.

The budget also provides $3 million to the South Carolina Technical College System to expand
the Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) Program, a successful national dropout prevention
program. In January 2022 the program was moved from the Department of Employment and
Workforce to the South Carolina Technical College System and funded with federal Governor’s
Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Funds. Since 2009 the program in South Carolina has
launched 3,225 seniors with an average graduation rate of 97.08%. JAG currently works with 24
sites in high schools and career centers in the school districts of Calhoun, Clarendon, Colleton,
Darlington, Georgetown, Hampton, Lancaster, Lexington 4, Marion, McCormick, Oconee,
Orangeburg, Richland 1, Spartanburg 2, Sumter, York 2, and York 3. The objective is to expand
the program from 24 to 100 sites. Given the impact of the pandemic on student achievement,
there will be greater demand for this successful dropout prevention program.

School Safety. Parents in South Carolina must be confident that their children are safe and secure
when they are at school. The presence of a certified law enforcement school resource officer in
every school is more important now than ever.

In 2018, Governor McMaster began working with the General Assembly to invest in school
resource officers (SROs). We have made great progress in hiring and placing SROs in schools.
In school year 2018-19, there were 406 full-time school resource officers in our schools. By the
beginning of school year 2022-23, we more than doubled the number of SROs with 982 full and
part-time officers employed in our public schools.

This Executive Budget includes an additional $14.2 million,167,500 in recurring funds to hire
the 188 SROs at an average cost of $68,535 which includes fringe benefits and to annualize the
salaries and fringe benefits of 19 SROs who were hired with funds previously unexpended and
carried forward from the program. The non-recurring request of $13.1 million,160,000 will cover
the cost of equipment and vehicles for the 188 SROs.

If these SROs are funded and hired in school year 2023-24, there will be 1,170 SROs in our
schools.

In September of 2022, the Department of Public Safety surveyed all school districts to determine
how many additional SROs are needed and can be hired for school year 2023-24. The districts, in
consultation with local law enforcement agencies, reported that there are 188 schools that
currently do not have a SRO but could have one in place for school year 2023-24 if state funding
was provided.

School safety extends to school buses as well. This Executive Budget recommends piloting a
grant program for school districts and public charter schools to apply for funds to recruit and
employ school bus monitors. This program will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of
school bus monitors. While ensuring student safety will be the primary key performance
measure, there may be other activities that can be measured, such as assisting students with
disabilities on and off a school bus, that may provide great value.

16
This Executive Budget includes $3.6 million to create the Center for School Safety and Targeted
Violence at the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED). This new center will provide extensive
training, education and expertise in the fields of school safety and targeted violence. SLED will
partner with behavioral science unit (BSU) agents and Homeland Security Agents to train and
educate local and state law enforcement officials, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, other
school personnel, parents and the public on school safety and targeted violence. SLED is
working with the Lexington School District One to acquire the rights to use the building and
property that was previously Gilbert Elementary School to locate this statewide training facility.
This Executive Budget includes $986,941 in recurring general funds for the personnel and
operating costs of the Center and $2,607,900 in non-recurring funds to acquire use of the
property and to purchase equipment and training simulators for the Center.

Access and Affordability in Higher Education. South Carolina must continue its collaborative
efforts to make public universities and colleges – technical and comprehensive – more affordable
and accessible for all South Carolinians.

This Executive Budget expands upon the substantial investments made in scholarships and grants
that support in-state students earning degrees and industry credentials in our public and private
colleges and universities:

• $201 million lottery dollars for LIFE scholarships, $67 million lottery dollars for
Palmetto Fellows Scholarships, and $12.5 million lottery dollars for HOPE scholarships;
• $80 million lottery dollars for need-based grants to provide tuition assistance for every
eligible student in public colleges and universities;
• $78 million lottery dollars for workforce tech scholarships and grants at the South
Carolina Technical College System;
• $51 million lottery dollars for tuition assistance at 2-year institutions (CHE and South
Carolina Technical College System);
• $20 million lottery dollars for tuition grants at the Higher Education Tuition Grants
Commission;
• $10 million lottery dollars for the continuation of the Nursing Initiative; and
• $4 million lottery dollars for the College Transitions Programs, which provide
scholarships for South Carolina residents with intellectual disabilities to complete a
postsecondary education program, which includes academic coursework and career
exploration, thereby preparing them for independent living and employment.

Workforce Tech Scholarships. Governor McMaster dedicated $55 million of the Governor’s
Emergency Education Relief (GEER) funds to scholarships for South Carolinians to attend our
sixteen technical colleges in pursuit of an industry credential or associate degree. To date, over
30,000 students have enrolled in such a program and over 10,000 have already earned an
industry credential in a high-demand careers. The first $12 million in GEER funds awarded and
expended helped 6,382 adults earn an industry credential at an average cost of $1,879.
Credentials earned included:
• 788 Commercial Driver’s Licenses
• 751 Certified Nursing Assistants

17
 • 619 Basic and Advanced EMTs
• 493 Welding Certificates
• 242 Forklift Operators
The South Carolina Technical College System, working with the Department of Employment
and Workforce, are tracking the percentage of GEER fund recipients who are employed in our
state. Initial data suggests that training for in demand jobs in South Carolina has resulted in
increased labor participation rates and increased wages for individuals that received the training
using GEER funds. The state taxes paid by these individuals currently employed are greater than
the cost of their training. Therefore, the return on investment in the citizens of South Carolina
has been substantial.

Because the GEER funds will be expended this fiscal year, South Carolina must continue
investing in our students by allocating $78 million in lottery revenues.

Need-Based and Tuition Grants. are also funded in the Executive Budget. The Executive
Budget includes $80 million in lottery revenues so that every South Carolinian who qualifies for
federal need-based financial aid – as measured by federal Pell Grants – has sufficient state
financial assistance to attend any in-state public college, university or technical college. The
Executive Budget also includes $20 million in lottery revenues for tuition grants for students
attending private, independent, and historically black colleges and universities. By state law, the
maximum Tuition Grant cannot exceed the average state appropriation for each full-time student
enrolled in a four-year undergraduate degree program in a public college or university, which in
FY 2023-24 is projected to be $5,032.

Tuition Mitigation. For those students whose current career pathway requires a postsecondary
credential, we must remain vigilant in the effort to increase access and affordability in
postsecondary education. According to data from the Federal Reserve, South Carolina ranked
13th in the nation for student debt with an average balance of $36,698. This ranking is better
than neighboring Southeast states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia,
but just short of matching Mississippi and Tennessee. This statistic has improved in recent years,
but there remains work to be done to be the best among the Southeast states. We must redouble
our efforts to ensure more of our in-state students are able to get an education in South
Carolina.

FY 2022-23 marked the fourth consecutive year that college tuition for in-state students has been
frozen. We urge the General Assembly to continue the policy for FY 2023-24 for a fifth
consecutive year.

This Executive Budget allocates $43 million in recurring funds to each institution for tuition
mitigation. The funds are based on a 5.2% Higher Education Price Index (HEPI). HEPI is an
indicator of inflation for colleges and universities and covers operational costs of colleges and
universities, including salaries and fringe benefits for faculty, administration, and other
employees, utilities and supplies, and materials. This is allocated based on the number of in-state
students at a public institution. In exchange for receiving these funds, each institution agrees that
there is no in-state tuition or mandatory fee increase for the 2023-24 academic year. HEPI

18
covers current operational costs of colleges and universities, including salaries and fringe
benefits for faculty, administration and other employees, utilities, and supplies and materials.

 CONSERVATION & THE ENVIRONMENT

The FY 2023-2024 Executive Budget provides:

Department of Natural Resources (DNR)

• $40 million non-recurring dollars for preservation and conservation of land of cultural
and environmental importance;
• $5.8 million non-recurring dollars to protect South Carolina’s rivers through river basin
planning and state water plan;
• $2.06 million non-recurring dollars for equipment replacement;
• $1.3 million recurring dollars for recruitment and retention of critical agency personnel;

Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC)

• $5.9 million recurring dollars for retention and recruitment of critical agency personnel;
• $2.5 million non-recurring dollars to support the uncontrolled hazardous waste sites
contingency fund, which pays for expenses related to cleanup actions necessary from
accidents in the transportation of hazardous materials, defray the costs of governmental
response actions at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, and fund ongoing cleanup
commitments;
• $1 million recurring dollars for the air quality program to modernize DHEC’s aging
ambient air quality monitoring network and support its operations;
• $943,236 recurring dollars for statutorily required coastal resources management, such as
critical area line monitoring (where tidelands and uplands are delineated) that determines
the ability to permit development, and the beach erosion research and monitoring
program;
• $540,529 recurring dollars for wastewater facilities permitting to reduce the backlog of
pending new and renewal permits.

Conservation Bank
• $25 million non-recurring dollars for preservation and conservation of land of cultural
and environmental importance;
• $1 million recurring funds for preservation and conservation of land of cultural and
environmental importance.

Office of Resilience
• $200 million in ARPA dollars for preservation and conservation of land of cultural and
environmental importance;
• $20 million non-recurring dollars for the Disaster Relief and Resilience Reserve Fund

Public Service Commission

• $250,000 non-recurring dollars to initiate an independent study to evaluate the integration
of renewable energy and emerging energy technology into the electric grid for the public
interest pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-37-60.

South Carolina is the most beautiful state in the country. From the mountains in the west to the
Atlantic Ocean coast in the east, all our rivers, lakes, sandhills, wetlands, forests, and beaches,

21
we’re blessed to live here. With that blessing comes the responsibility to preserve and conserve
as much habitat as possible for future generations of South Carolinians. The natural beauty of
our state makes it the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family.

This Executive Budget recommends a historic investment in the preservation and conservation of
land of cultural and environmental importance: $266 million across three agencies: Office of
Resilience ($200 million ARPA funds), Department of Natural Resources ($40 million non-
recurring funds), and the Conservation Land Bank ($26 million recurring and non-recurring
funds). We will have a high degree of coordination between these agencies to ensure the state
maximizes its efforts. In addition, I would support legislation reinstating a designated funding
source to fund the Conservation Land Bank.

Governor McMaster’s commitment to conserving as much land as possible in South Carolina

coupled with his commitment to invest in resilience will improve the quality of life in South
Carolina. The investments included in this Executive Budget will help preserve and conserve
significant natural resource lands, wetlands, historical and archaeological properties and urban
parks for future generations to enjoy.

Resilience. We know from recent history how hurricanes and major flooding events can
devastate our communities, and we’re still helping residents in Charleston, Georgetown, and
Horry counties to recover and rebuild. Additionally, in South Carolina, three major flooding
disasters occurred between 2015 and 2018. Collectively, these events resulted in 37 deaths and
more than $2.4 billion in losses, including an estimated total loss of $320 million in tourism
dollars.

In 2018, Governor McMaster created the South Carolina Floodwater Commission. Thousands of
hours of volunteerism went into producing a report which endeavors to address our many
challenges in a balanced, holistic manner. One of the top recommendations: consolidating flood
resilience and long-term recovery under a single entity. To accomplish this recommendation,
Governor McMaster proposed and signed into law Act 163 of 2020, which created the South
Carolina Office of Resilience, to develop, implement and maintain the Statewide Resilience
Plan.

The agency’s Statewide Resilience Plan is supported by the Disaster Relief and Resilience
Reserve Fund, a fund that illustrates Governor McMaster’s broader priority related to targeted
investments in strategic reserve funds.

The balance of this fund is currently $44 million, which is not adequate to respond to disasters,
support the development of the plan, and support mitigation projects. While this reserve fund is
not designed to make every single loss whole, a major disaster would substantially deplete the
fund. The Office of Resilience recommends that the balance of this fund be eventually increased
to $100 million, with a recurring $20 million appropriation.

The 2015 Flood, 2016 Hurricane Matthew, and 2018 Hurricane Florence were disasters that
resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars of unmet needs, for example. This Executive Budget
satisfies the $20 million recurring appropriation, which will allow the agency can maintain a

22
sufficient buffer in the event of a large-scale disaster and perform its statutory mitigation
missions consistent with the forthcoming Resilience Plan.

Coupled with this recurring appropriation, this Executive Budget recommends an additional
$200 million in ARPA funds for resilience land acquisitions, flood mitigation projects, and the
complete remediation of the hundreds of thousands of gallons of toxic pollutants from the USS
Yorktown.

Continued corrosion of the outer hull of the vessel will inevitably lead to deterioration and
failure of the inner tanks. If these hazardous materials leak out of the USS Yorktown into the
Charleston harbor, they will impair commercial shipping and boat traffic, and do immeasurable
damage to the area’s natural resources, and the harbor’s ecosystem, including nearby marshes,
estuaries, barrier islands, tidal creeks, and beaches. This would be a disaster, a nightmare for
Charleston, the Lowcountry and the state of South Carolina.

Beyond the work underway at the Office of Resilience, many Floodwater Commission
recommendations have yet to be implemented. We must address deferred maintenance of our
state’s drainage systems and dams. We must plant more native vegetation – to deter erosion and
aid in groundwater infiltration. We must protect, replenish and expand our marshes. This
Executive Budget recommends $5.8 million for water planning, monitoring, and mapping at
DNR. A state water plan update with the help of outside subject matter experts is needed to
ensure regional water plans are developed based on the most accurate water availability
information. Additionally, we recommend over $2 million non-recurring dollars to replace
vehicles and boats used by DNR to fulfill their critical mission and agency responsibilities.

DHEC has several initiatives worthy of investment. First, we recommend $2.5 million in non-
recurring dollars to support the uncontrolled hazardous waste sites contingency fund, which pays
for expenses related to cleanup actions necessary from accidents in the transportation of
hazardous materials, defray the costs of governmental response actions at uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites, and fund ongoing cleanup commitments. Second, this Executive Budget
recommends $1 million in recurring dollars for the air quality program to modernize DHEC’s
aging ambient air quality monitoring network and support its operations. Third, this Executive
Budget recommends $943,236 in recurring dollars for statutorily required coastal resources
management, such as critical area line monitoring (where tidelands and uplands are delineated)
that determines the ability to permit development, and the beach erosion research and monitoring
program. Lastly, this Executive Budget calls for investing $540,529 for wastewater permitting
efforts at DHEC. The backlog of new and renewal permits has increased due to staffing
shortages; we must address this backlog this year so it will stop increasing and we begin to
decrease it in the coming months. However, it will take additional investment in the future to
reduce the backlog to an acceptable level.

Governor McMaster was recently elected to a second term as Chairman of the Southern States
Energy Board. In South Carolina, Governor McMaster is committed to an “all of the above”
energy strategy and environmental conservation, preservation and resilience. Key components of
this strategy include embracing innovative technologies that drive growth; create jobs; and,
provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions.

 LAW ENFORCEMENT, PUBLIC SAFETY AND VETERANS

The FY 2023-24 Executive Budget provides:

Department of Public Safety (DPS)

• $14.1 million recurring dollars for 188 additional school resource officers (SROs) plus

Law Enforcement and Public Safety. Public safety will always be among our highest priorities.
It begins with respect for law enforcement, which has declined in recent years. The vast majority
of law enforcement officers are providing excellent public service and should be uplifted in our
communities. But too often, the corporate media only presents negative portrayals of law
enforcement, which is making it more difficult to recruit and retain officers. Last year, the
Department of Administration, led by Executive Director Marcia Adams, to conduct an analysis
of our state law enforcement officer salaries and determine new compensation levels that will
help recruit and retain more officers. As a result of this study, we recommended a $31 million
compensation increase for law enforcement officers across several state agencies, and the
General Assembly ultimately allocated $40 million. This budget builds upon that investment by
recommending $21.5 million in additional funding for compensation to recruit and retain law
enforcement officers at the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED), the Department of Public
Safety (DPS), Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services (PPP), the Department of Juvenile Justice
(DJJ), and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with the necessary equipment.

School resource officers serve a critical purpose in our schools. This budget recommends $14.1
million recurring dollars and $13.1 million non-recurring dollars to recruit, hire, and equip 188
new SROs and annualize the costs of 19 SROs previously approved by DPS. In partnership with
SLED and Lexington County School District One, this budget proposes the creation of the
Center for School Safety and Targeted Violence to train law enforcement and school
personnel. The location will be the old Gilbert Elementary School facility. The purpose of the

26
Center is to provide extensive training, education, and expertise in the fields of school safety and
targeted violence. This resource for South Carolina schools expands upon the active shooter
training that has been provided by SLED and is recognized globally. This Executive Budget
recommends $2.6 million in non-recurring funds and $986,941 in recurring funds for the
operations of the center. This is an exciting initiative that we believe will become a model for the
nation. Working with State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver, we will have a strong
focus on school safety to protect children, teachers, and school personnel.

Additionally, this budget maintains a proviso suspending the $10,000 retirement income cap for
law enforcement officers and first responders. Suspending this cap will incentivize retired law
enforcement to return to continue their valued service to our communities, whether with local
law enforcement agencies or as SROs.

The safety of South Carolina’s law enforcement officers, as well as maintaining levels of trust
and transparency between law enforcement and the communities they serve, is of paramount
importance. To support both priorities, this Executive Budget recommends $10 million for body
worn cameras and vest grants, increasing access to these important tools for more local law
enforcement agencies and communities. Additionally, this Executive Budget recommends $3
million in recurring dollars for vehicle replacements at DPS, $2 million non-recurring dollars for
the local law enforcement grant program for expenditures not eligible for federal funding, and $1
million in non-recurring funds to assist local law enforcement agencies with earning
accreditation, which demonstrates a commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

Animal fighting, especially dog fighting, is one of the cruelest criminal activities in our society.
In the current budget the General Assembly funded, upon my recommendation, the funding for
one SLED agent dedicated to investigating and combating animal fighting. That investment has
borne fruit already in September 2022 when SLED and other law enforcement agencies executed
the “biggest takedown of a dogfighting operation in South Carolina history,” according to the
U.S. Attorney’s office. The Executive Budget expands upon this success by recommending
$566,286 in recurring and non-recurring funds to hire three additional SLED agents dedicated to
taking down more animal fighting operations in South Carolina and assisting local law
enforcement agencies that investigate this type of criminal enterprise.

This Executive Budget recommends $2.4 million in recurring dollars for the Department of
Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services to upgrade its information technology systems as well as
security upgrades. Ensuring the security of this data is critical to the mission of PPP and the
constituents it serves.

This Executive Budget makes several recommendations to strengthen the Department of Juvenile
Justice. The largest funding request, $13 million non-recurring dollars, is to renovate and
upgrade facilities to appropriate security standards. Second, we recommend $8 million in
recurring dollars to pay for security personnel contractors as the agency continues its work to
recruit and retain more in-house Class 1 law enforcement officers.

The majority of the youth DJJ serves are in their communities, not a DJJ facility. The Executive
Budget’s $5.5 million recurring recommendation will help the agency keep youth with their

27
families and provide meaningful and effective community based rehabilitative services. Through
the Governor’s Office, DJJ was able to use GEER funds to implement project Leveraging
Effective Alternatives to Placement (LEAP) by contracting external experts to provide
evidence-based practices to our youth throughout the state. DJJ is now able to provide two levels
of proven in-home therapy models that involve the youth and the entire family. Multisystem
Therapy (MST) and Functional Family Therapy (FFT) prevent youth from becoming more
involved with the juvenile justice system by providing holistic community based rehabilitative
services. DJJ leadership reports that numerous jurisdictions have experienced success in front
loading community based services to eventually decrease the number of incarcerated youth and
ultimately reducing expenses in the criminal justice system. DJJ is extensively reviewing the data
from these evidence-based practices to focus on the most efficacious ones and direct resources to
them.

Lastly, there are some youth for whom the most appropriate placement is not a DJJ facility,
many of which are already at capacity. We recommend $2 million in recurring dollars so these
youth can receive treatment, therapies, and interventions in appropriate facilities that are located
out-of-state, as the state develops plans to own and operate an in-state Psychiatric Residential
Treatment Facility.

Emergency Response. Like law enforcement agencies, firefighters and other emergency
responders provide a vital public service and put their lives on the line each day. This Executive
Budget recommends significant investment in these invaluable public servants.

The V-SAFE program has assisted many rural communities and their volunteer fire departments
with funding to purchase equipment and training services. We recommend $3 million in non-
recurring dollars for this program. Some examples of equipment purchased with these funds
include:

• Fire suppression equipment, rescue equipment and medical equipment safety equipment;
• Protective clothing;
• Self-contained breathing apparatus, portable air refilling systems and decontamination
equipment;
• Equipment for detecting hazardous materials;
• Vehicles including incident command and special operations vehicles.

Additionally, local fire departments may apply for a grant program funded with $280,000 in non-
recurring dollars for additional equipment and safety needs. For all fire departments, a new grant
program funded with $1 million in recurring dollars will assist fire departments in the transition
to 800MHz radios so they can communicate and coordinate with other first responders.

This Executive Budget recommends over $5.7 million in recurring and non-recurring funds to
support the Forestry Commission’s retention and recruitment initiatives, replace equipment, and
pay for operating costs that have increased due to inflation. This funding is not only for safety
reasons, but also to protect our beautiful forests we all enjoy hiking, our hunting lands, and our
forest industry, which contributes over $23 billion to our state’s economy.

28
Many local law enforcement agencies have counter-terrorism equipment and training, but some
do not. SLED provides support to law enforcement agencies and as such needs to maintain
counter-terrorism equipment and training. To support counter-terrorism readiness at state and
local law enforcement agencies, this Executive Budget recommends $1.16 million in non-
recurring funds for equipment replacement.

The Judiciary. This Executive Budget recognizes the important role of a well-functioning
judiciary, from magistrates to the State Supreme Court, from law clerks to solicitors and public
defenders. To fully fund Act 232 of 2022, we recommend $4.1 million in recurring funds for
four new circuit court judges and three new family court judges. For family court law clerks, we
recommend $3 million in recurring funds, which may provide as many as thirty (30) new family
law clerks. Currently no judicial circuit is meeting the family court benchmark of resolving 80%
of family court cases within 365 calendar days. According to the Department of Social Services,
access to family courts and a court’s ability to process cases in a timely manner is critical to
improving conditions for children in South Carolina.

$11.7 million in recurring funds will allow the Prosecution Coordination Commission to hire
additional prosecutors, and $8.5 million in recurring funds will allow the Commission on
Indigent Defense to hire additional public defenders. This funding increases access to the courts,
timely resolution of cases, and supports our Sixth Amendment right to legal representation.

Veterans and Military Communities. South Carolina is a proud military state. We have more
than 50,000 active duty and reserve members of the military, eight major military installations
and almost 400,000 veterans who call South Carolina home. Additionally, 50% percent of all
soldiers entering the Army each year come through Fort Jackson and more than 50% of Marines
come through Parris Island annually.

We want South Carolina to continue to be known as the most military-friendly state in the
country. Last year, and after years of advocacy by this office, Governor McMaster signed Act
156 into law that exempts military retiree pay from state income taxes. This tax cut represents
nearly $8 million annually that our military retirees will not pay in income taxes. We were proud
to work with the General Assembly to support legislation creating the South Carolina
Department of Veterans’ Affairs (SCDVA). Veterans in South Carolina now have a
gubernatorial-appointed secretary leading this cabinet-level agency to act as their advocate on the
state and federal level. In the agency’s third year of existence, this Executive Budget provides
new funding for several critical functions.

This Executive Budget recommends $5 million in non-recurring funds for the Military
Enhancement Grant program administered by SCDVA, which supports our communities with
military installations as they promote the importance of these bases. The Office of the Adjutant
General allocated $5 million to revitalize our armories, as well as $1.56 million in recurring
dollars to pay South Carolina State Guard personnel mandated training activities. Veterans
nursing homes and long-term care facilities would receive an additional $8.8 million in recurring
dollars through the Department of Mental Health (DMH). The Cooper Veterans Cemetery would
receive over $1 million in funding to maintain and enhance its grounds. The state’s Honor Guard
would receive an additional $255,000 to pay for its upkeep and operations so veterans and their

29
families are appropriately honored during burial services. For those veterans transitioning out of
the military, an additional $113,000 is recommended for agency efforts to help veterans find a
path back into civilian life.

Health. Health care costs during the COVID-19 pandemic have increased across the country as
health care systems have experienced unique pressures from nearly every angle. In South
Carolina, we took a measured approach to our preparation and response to the COVID-19
pandemic. This approach balanced the need to protect the health and well-being of the public
while keeping our economy open. We embraced innovation across the healthcare delivery
system through the adoption of telehealth and other means to provide access to care while
protecting both health care providers and patients. This balanced strategy helped prevent South
Carolina from experiencing hospitals and health care systems that were stretched beyond their
capacity.

South Carolina’s balanced approach has contributed to a larger increase in wage growth and per
capita income than in other states. This is welcome news for all South Carolinians as our
economic growth continues to outpace other states; however, it will also result in a need for
additional recurring state funds to account for a corresponding reduction in the federal portion of
Medicaid funding, the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP). This increased cost to
the state, along with increased Medicare premiums and payment methodology changes that
affect individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid will require an increase of $117
million in recurring state funds to fulfil DHHS’ annualization request.

In addition to DHHS’ annualization request, other costs for the state’s Medicaid program have
increased as well. The health care industry is facing unprecedented inflationary wage pressures
and we must ensure patients continue to have access to a quality network of doctors and health
care providers. This Executive Budget recommends an additional $42.1 million in recurring
dollars to maintain current service levels to the state’s Medicaid members; and, an additional
$36.7 million in recurring dollars to implement targeted reimbursement rate increases to ensure
the Medicaid program is competitive with other health care payors. In total, this Executive
Budget recommends $197.8 million in new funds for DHHS to pay for recurring costs, increase
targeted provider rates to retain and recruit new providers, and meet federal requirements.

33
Mental and Behavioral Health. This Executive Budget prioritizes resources to support the
state’s mental and behavior health agencies. Nearly $45 million new recurring dollars are
recommended for DMH to maintain and expand services through employee retention and
recruitment, expansion of crisis response teams and crisis stabilization units, access to
therapeutic-intensive group/congregate care homes and providing assertive community
treatment. This Executive Budget recommends $9.2 million in recurring funds to support suicide
prevention efforts at the 988 Suicide Prevention Lifeline Call Center in Greenville and to
establish a secondary call center in the state to increase capacity. Lastly, $1.45 million recurring
dollars is recommended to support the increased operating costs of DMH’s Sexually Violent
Predator Treatment Program (SVPTP).

According to DAODAS and DHEC, 1,734 South Carolinians died from a drug overdose in 2020,
a number that has been increasing since 2014. Of those 1,734 deaths, 1,400 were related to
opioids and 1,100 involved fentanyl. To combat this, DAODAS would receive $5 million non-
recurring funds to combat the addiction crisis by ensuring continued access to essential treatment
services, reducing unmet treatment need, and reducing overdose-related deaths through the
provision of prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery activities for opioid use disorder
(including prescription opioids as well as illicit drugs such as heroin and fentanyl). An additional
$3 million in non-recurring funds is recommended in this year’s budget for a new Center of
Excellence in Addiction, which will be coordinated by DAODAS, in partnership with DHEC, the
Medical University of South Carolina, the University of South Carolina, and Clemson
University. This new center will evaluate interventions and treatment programs for their efficacy,
then use South Carolina’s portion of the national opioid settlement funds to support the most
efficacious programs.

For the second year in a row, this Executive Budget recommends $8.9 million in recurring
dollars for waiver services and service rates related to the ID/RD waiver program, which is
administered by DHSS and operated by DDSN. The ID/RD waiver provides the opportunity for
those with an intellectual disability or a related disability to remain independent by receiving
medical services in their home and community rather than in a facility. Two exciting research
initiatives at the Greenwood Genetics Center are recommended for funding: $5 million for a new
Alzheimer’s disease research project to be named in honor of Governor Carroll Campbell Jr., and
$2 million towards an existing research project that will help individuals with disabilities and
those on the autism spectrum with more personalized treatment plans. To reduce the wait time
for an evaluation of individuals suspected to have an autism spectrum diagnosis, this Executive
Budget proposes s $960,000 recurring funds to DDSN to help reduce wait times from six months
to sixty days. reducing wait times from six months to sixty days.

For the sixth year in a row, this Executive Budget includes a proviso preventing taxpayer dollars
from going to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. There are a variety of agencies,
clinics, and medical entities in South Carolina that receive taxpayer funding to offer important
women's health and family planning services without performing abortions. South Carolinians’
tax dollars must not be funneled to organizations that do not represent South Carolina values or
priorities.

34
Social Services. This Executive Budget recommends $20.5 million in recurring dollars to ensure
compliance and implementation of the final settlement agreement associated with the Michelle
H., et.al. federal class action lawsuit. This includes funds to increase provider rates for family-
like foster care homes, group/congregate care facilities, therapeutic foster care rates, child
placement services, emergency stabilization beds, and support for the kinship guardianship
assistance program. Additionally, with the oversight of the Division of Technology Operations
under the Department of Administration, $15.5 million in funding is recommended for the first
phase of a system to replace the 34-year-old system that verifies eligibility and pays benefits for
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) recipients.

This budget recommends $1.3 million to support the Department of Children’s Advocacy in
holding state agencies accountable for the services provided to children and families.

35
 GENERAL GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS & TRANSPARENCY

The FY 2023-2024 Executive Budget dedicates:

Rainy Day Fund

• $500 million non-recurring dollars to increase the state’s rainy day fund to over $1.2
billion, which is 10% of the general funds available in the General Appropriations Act
and is the largest rainy day fund in state history.

State Agencies’ Recruitment and Retention

• $78 million recurring dollars to provide funding for retention and recruitment initiatives
for critical agency personnel.

Department of Administration (DOA)

• $40 million non-recurring and $13 million recurring dollars to maintain the South
Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS), which is the information backbone of
state government;
• $15 million recurring dollars for facilities owned and maintained by DOA, which would
eliminate deferred maintenance backlogs and support operational and capital needs in all
DOA buildings it maintains for the next ten fiscal years;
• $5 million non-recurring dollars to conduct a restructuring study of state agencies
providing health care services;
• $2 million non-recurring dollars for a marketing campaign to recruit highly-qualified
individuals to work in critical need positions within state government;
• $2 million non-recurring dollars for signing bonuses for critical need positions in state
agencies with a maximum award of $2,500;
• $725,000 recurring dollars for retention and recruitment of critical agency personnel;
• $545,000 recurring dollars to hire four new state funded positions in the areas of budget,
finance, procurement, and human resources. These positions will enable DOA to assist
agencies that encounter administrative staffing issues resulting from labor shortages or
loss of key personnel within the agency on a short-term basis while the agency seeks a
permanent solution. Moreover, these four additional state funded positions will enable
DOA to better manage future restructuring legislation and handle other special projects
that often involve many of the same administrative staff within DOA.

Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA)

• $121.5 million recurring dollars for the State Health Plan with no resulting employee
premium increase, maintaining the provision of an annual wellness visit, and adding the
benefit of an OBGYN annual visit with no patient cost sharing;
• $40.1 million recurring dollars to pay for the 1% pension increase that has been
suspended via proviso due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

36
State Election Commission
• $1.35 million recurring dollars to train county election staff and boards; $216,977 non-
recurring dollars to meet federal funding match requirements of the Help America Vote
Act (HAVA).

State Ethics Commission

• $103,186 recurring dollars to hire an attorney to fulfill the agency’s critical role in ethics
training and enforcement.

Department of Archives & History

• $5 million non-recurring dollars for the SC American Revolution Sestercentennial
Commission for activities leading up to the United States Sestercentennial held July 4,
2026;
• $1 million non-recurring dollars for the Historic Preservation State Grant Fund, which is
a competitive grant program using nationally-benchmarked criteria for historic
preservation;
• $250,000 recurring dollars for recruitment and retention; and
• $100,000 recurring dollars for the African American Heritage Commission.

Aid to Subdivisions
• $277 million recurring dollars to fully fund the Local Government Fund;
• $3.9 million recurring dollars for Aid to Fire Districts.

Financial Security. For the third year in a row, this Executive Budget places $500 million into
our state’s rainy day reserve fund. By saving this money instead of spending it - something that
served our state well during the COVID-19 pandemic - we will double the size of our reserves
and will be prepared for any future economic uncertainties, should they arise. The state’s debt
service has been cut in half, reducing the amount owed on the state’s credit card.

Transparency. While the leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives took
unprecedented steps by publicly disclosing the sponsors and recipients of earmarked
appropriations — a step in the right direction — but more must be done. Transparency is of the
utmost importance when appropriating the public’s money and proper accountability measures
must be enacted to ensure any taxpayer funds are spent for their intended purpose.

However, public transparency must be absolute and uncompromised in order to maintain the
public’s trust and confidence in their government. Disclosure of the sponsor and recipient is not
enough. The bulk of these earmarked appropriations still lack sufficient context, description,
explanation of merit, or justification as to how the recipient intends to spend the funds. Also, no
matter how deserving the project, the public must be confident that proper accountability
measures are in place to ensure the funds are ultimately spent appropriately by the recipient.

We have taken additional steps to bolster transparency around earmarked appropriations. Last
year, we instructed the leaders of the state agencies who received funds allocated for earmarked
projects to provide a detailed explanation of how the earmarked funds will be spent by the
recipients and the accountability measures in place to ensure proper spending to the Executive

37
Budget. Following the Governor McMaster’s directive, agencies were required to post
information related to each earmark online.

For the fifth year in a row, this Executive Budget takes steps towards maintaining the public’s
trust in government by implementing procedures to ensure transparency in the appropriations
process – ending rollups and replacing them with a competitive grant appropriation for each
agency.

In the future, organizations, festivals, tournaments and other standard recipients of earmarked
dollars will apply for these grants and awards will be determined through a competitive, merit-
based process established by an agency director. This process will be transparent and
accountable to taxpayers. Moreover, it will demonstrate to the people of South Carolina that their
money is being spent wisely.

The Executive Budget establishes competitive grant programs that total $72 million, as follows:

• Food Insecurity Grants in Title I Schools: $21.9 million, (Department of Agriculture)

• Local Economic Development Grants: $20 million (Department of Commerce)
• SDE Grants Committee: $14 million (Department of Education)
• Sports Marketing Grants: $6.5 million (PRT)
• Medical Contracts: $2 million (HHS)
• Local Law Enforcement Grants: $2 million (DPS)
• Parks Revitalization Grants: $1.5 million (PRT)
• Local Law Enforcement Accreditation Grants: $1 million (DPS)
• Historic Preservation Grants: $1 million (Archives & History)
• Local Fire Department Radio Grants: $1 million (LLR)
• School Bus Monitor Pilot Grant Program: $1 million (Department of Education)
• Cultural Arts and Theater Grants: $450,000 (Arts Commission)
• Local Fire Department Grants: $280,000 (LLR)

Department of Administration. The Department of Administration provides an invaluable level

of services to agencies and taxpayers. This Executive Budget proposes several funding increases
that support the core functions of the agency. First, we recommend $53 million in funding for the
state’s information backbone, the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS). This
critical system that allows agencies to make informed decisions and operate like a business is
nearing the end of its service lifetime and needs to be replaced. Second, the Department of
Administration owns and maintains several state buildings. With our recommendation of $15
million in recurring dollars, the Department of Administration has stated it can eliminate the
deferred maintenance backlog and planned capital improvements for the next 10 years.

To assist state agencies with recruitment and retention efforts, this Executive Budget proposes
two new initiatives: $2 million to provide one-time sign on bonuses for state government hires in
critical needs areas, and $2 million to assist state agencies with marketing and advertising for
hard-to-fill positions.

38
The time has come for a modern-day re-evaluation, and re-invention and restructuring of South
Carolina’s siloed healthcare delivery agencies. This Executive Budget includes a $5 million
appropriation to the Department of Administration for the purpose of procuring the professional
expertise necessary to analyze and provide the General Assembly and the Governor’s Office, by
June 30, 2024, with a comprehensive plan to restructure services provided by the Department of
Mental Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Health and
Environmental Control, among others.

Ethics. South Carolinians must trust their representatives, and the state’s representatives must
demonstrate they are deserving of that trust.

Along with former Attorney General Travis Medlock, Governor McMaster co-chaired the South
Carolina Commission on Ethics Reform and made a series of ethics reform recommendations –
some of which have been implemented, and some of which have not. It is the continued goal of
our administration to see each ethics reform recommendation enacted.

This Executive Budget proposes that anyone paid to influence decisions made by county, city or
town councils should be required to register as a lobbyist, just as they are at the state level. Also,
this Executive Budget recommends hiring another attorney at the State Ethics Commission to
perform training and enforcement activities.

State Health Plan and State Pension. This Executive Budget recommends there be no increase
in premiums for State Health Plan participants by proposing $121.5 million in recurring dollars.
With this funding, the State Health Plan will add an annual OBGYN exam for all female
beneficiaries at no additional cost.

In 2017, Governor McMaster signed into law legislation increasing employee and employer
contributions to the South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS) and PORS, an unfortunate but
necessary first step to begin reducing the state’s unfunded liability. To that end, this Executive
Budget includes $40.1 million to pay for the 1% pension increase. However, it is time for the
legislature to make some hard decisions and implement systemic reforms to correct this problem.

The South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS) has one of the largest unfunded liabilities in the
nation at nearly $24 billion. The system only has assets equal to 64% of what is required to pay
beneficiaries, which places our pension system fifth worst in the nation. We must maintain our
commitment to South Carolina’s population that relies on state retirement systems, while
protecting taxpayers from bearing any additional financial burden caused by inaction or
indecision. That means enacting a date-certain transition away from defined benefit pension
plans to defined contribution retirement plans for new state employees. This budget includes
proviso language which will close enrollment in the South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS)
to new members. A person who otherwise would have been required or eligible to become a
member of SCRS and employed by the state after December 31, 2023, instead shall join the State
Optional Retirement Program (State ORP) administered by the South Carolina Public Employee
Benefit Authority (PEBA). Adopting this reform will require a concerted expenditure of political
willpower on behalf of the General Assembly. Yet, it pales in comparison to the cost of inaction,
which threatens a much more permanent paralysis.

39
Adoption of Shared Services. As the issues that face South Carolina’s state government continue
to evolve and require new and flexible skill sets, it makes sense to centralize as many back-office
and support functions as possible across state government. The South Carolina Department of
Administration, our state government’s central administrative agency, is best positioned to lead
in the adoption of a shared service model, which is frequently used by large organizations in the
private sector.

In this year’s Executive Budget, we strongly urge the General Assembly to retain two provisos
calling for the adoption of shared services models at the Department of Administration to support
state agency needs in IT and human resources.

Numerous studies have not only shown the potential for significant cost savings through a shared
services model, but also cited security concerns with “islands of computing” across numerous
state agencies. Adopting a common IT infrastructure allows South Carolina to respond more
quickly and effectively to emerging security threats that pose risks to all agencies. Adopting a
shared IT services model will also allow the state to better leverage its overall buying power.
Many South Carolina state agencies use and purchase similar applications and products.
Purchasing and managing these items through a shared model will empower the state to more
easily share costs, achieve economies of scale and lower the cost to the taxpayer when
purchasing needed IT solutions. Finally, successfully adopting a shared model will provide the
Department of Administration with an opportunity to connect agencies to brokered services
available through state contract, which reduces procurement timelines and offers maximum value
for the state.

Adopting a shared services model to support state agencies human resources needs has some of
the same benefits as a shared IT model. A shared services model can help the state make more
data-driven staffing and salary decisions. Supporting state government-wide human resources
functions through the Department of Administration will help better evaluate agency
compensation, hiring and vacancy trends by allowing for easier comparisons across multiple
state agencies.

 Statewide Strategic Objectives
South Carolina Government has a number of goals, priorities and key initiatives that transcend agency
and other organizational boundaries. These enterprise-level strategic objectives seek to capture the core
functions and responsibilities of state government into five strategic areas. They provide important
input into agencies’ planning processes, serve as a baseline for assessing progress on key issues and
require cooperative efforts in order to affect performance in a meaningful way.

Education, Training and Human Development

• Improve educational infrastructure to elevate the levels of educational preparedness of

every South Carolinian to lead a healthy and productive life, including success in a job
or career and in the community.

Healthy and Safe Families

• Enhance public well-being by delivering efficient and cost-effective public health and
support services.

Maintaining Safety, Integrity and Security

• Protect the safety, integrity and security of statewide public resources, infrastructure
and citizens including timely response to emergencies and disasters.

Public Infrastructure and Economic Development

• Build a world-class and safe public infrastructure to enhance the quality of life of our
citizens and to promote the state in global competiveness as a location for business,
investment, talent, innovation and visitors.

Government and Citizens

• Deliver a government that serves the needs of South Carolinians and achieves inter-
agency collaboration to deliver highly effective, efficient and innovative programs.

 Reserve Funds
Act 238 of 2022 placed two Constitutional Amendments on the ballot in November 2022
regarding the General Reserve Fund and the Capital Reserve Fund (CRF). Voters approved the
amendments which increase the reserve fund contribution requirements.
Previously, the General Reserve Fund was required to be 5% of the revenues of the most recently
completed fiscal year. Beginning in FY24, the General Reserve Fund contribution will be raised
by one half percent annually until it reaches 7%. The half percent increase is contingent on
General Fund revenues growing by 5% each year. For FY 2023-24, 5.5% of revenues is
$715,241,566. The Executive Budget fully funds this amount for FY 2023-24.
The Capital Reserve Fund (CRF) is a recurring appropriation that previously had to equal 2% of
General Fund revenue. Act 238 of 2022 increased the mandatory percentage to 3%. If a year-end
deficit is forecast, the CRF is reduced to the extent necessary before mandating operating
reductions. If no year-end deficit is projected, the CRF may be appropriated in separate
legislation for capital improvements or nonrecurring projects. For FY 2023-24, $390,131,763 is
set aside for the Capital Reserve Fund in the Executive Budget.
The Executive Budget also sets aside $500,000,000 into a Rainy Day Fund.

Governor’s Proviso
Recommendations

 GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE BUDGET PROVISO RECOMMENDATIONS
# / ACTION TITLE / DESCRIPTION

1.3 State Aid to Classrooms

Amend This proviso allocates funds for State Aid to Classrooms. The amendment raises
the starting minimum teacher salary from $40,000 to $42,500 and every cell in
the state minimum teacher salary schedule by $2,500. The proviso establishes
that the funds provide for an average student-teacher ratio of 11.2 students per
teachers based on the average cost to hire a teacher of $72,991, which includes
fringe benefits.

1.20 Proviso Allocations

Amend This proviso addresses how funds allocated through provisos are reduced due to
a lower revenue estimate. The amendment deletes references to the EFA line
item appropriations that have been consolidated into State Aid to Classrooms.

1.21 School Districts and Special Schools Flexibility

Amend (Technical) This proviso allows school districts and special schools flexibility to use revenue
sources as they deem appropriate to achieve student outcomes with specific
parameters. This amendment changes the reference to the “2022-23 school
year” to “current school year.”

1.30 Education Finance Act Reserve Fund

Amend This proviso establishes an EFA Reserve Fund. The amendment changes all
references to the EFA to State Aid to Classrooms and replaces base student cost
with designated student teacher ratio to be consistent with Proviso 1.3.

88
1.39 Impute Index Value

Amend This proviso defines the imputed index of taxpaying ability. The amendment
replaces the reference to the EFA with General Appropriations Act.

1.40 EFA State Share

Amend This proviso provides for a mechanism to supplement funding for a district that
may not receive a state share under the State Aid to Classrooms funding formula
due to its index of taxpaying ability. Currently, all districts receive state funds
through State Aid to Classrooms. The amendment changes all references to the
EFA to State Aid to Classrooms and changes from seventy to seventy-five
percent the threshold by which the supplement is calculated to be consistent with
Proviso 1.3.

1.48 Full-Day 4K

Amend This proviso specifies funding levels for public and private full-day 4K
providers. The amendment increases the minimum reimbursement rate for
instructional costs from $4,800 to $5,100 and increases the minimum
reimbursement rate for transportation from $587 to $620 per student. Because
the program was implemented statewide in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the amendment
also deletes references to statewide expansion in the current fiscal year. At the
request of the Office of First Steps, the amendment also eliminates the public-
private partnership program that allowed up to $1 million to be expended on
renovations. All references to COVID-19 are eliminated as well.

1.63 Special Education Minutes Requirement

Amend This proviso exempts the requirement that a special education student must
receive 250 minutes of specialized instruction to qualify for funding. The
amendment changes all references to the EFA to State Aid to Classrooms.

89
1.69 Consolidate Administrative Functions

Amend This proviso allows the State Superintendent of Education to require districts to
consolidate administrative and professional services if they meet specific
requirements. The amendment changes all references to the EFA to State Aid to
Classrooms.

1.71 Teacher Salaries/SE Average

amendment updates the Southeastern average teacher salary to $58,048 and
updates the fiscal year reference.

must use reserve fund to pay for teacher salary or step increases if funding is not
increased. This amendment updates the fiscal year reference.

1.73 Reserve Suspension

Delete This proviso suspends the cash reserve limitations of permanent statute for
Dorchester County School District 2. The Executive Budget recommends the
deletion of this proviso in accordance with the Governor’s Vetoes in the fiscal
year 2019-20, 2021-22, and 2022-23 Appropriations Bills.

1.74 Standard-Based Assessments Suspended

Amend (Technical) This proviso suspends code sections requiring standardized testing for science in

expenditure of savings from the assessment suspension. This amendment updates
the fiscal year reference.

90
1.75 COVID-19 Emergency Powers

Amend (Technical) The proviso grants to the Superintendent of Education emergency powers
related to financial flexibility to school districts. The amendment updates a year
reference.

school year references and amends the date for the report from January 31 to
May 31.

1.77 School District Employees Data

Amend (Technical) This proviso requires school districts to provide employee data to the
Department of Education. This amendment removes the year reference to

Amend (Technical) This proviso sets guidelines and funding requirements for public school virtual

salaries. This amendment updates the school year reference

1.86 Graduation Requirements

Delete This proviso requires the State Board of Education to promulgate regulations to
require a half credit course in personal finance as a high school graduation
requirement. The regulations have been promulgated so the proviso is no longer
needed.

removes references to a specific year and requires annual reporting to the
General Assembly.

1.91 Teaching Transformation Pilot Program

recommends the deletion of this proviso in accordance with the Governor’s
Vetoes in the fiscal year 2022-23 Appropriations Bill.

1.92 Base Student Cost/EFA

Amend (Technical) This proviso ensures that any allocation of funds is consistent with Proviso 1.3.
The amendment updates the fiscal year reference.

1.93 Educational Services for Children with Disabilities Report

Delete This proviso requires a report to be issued by the Joint Citizens and Legislative
Committee. The report has been issued so the proviso is no longer needed.

1.95 Teacher Recruitment and Retention

Task Force will submit recommendations by May 31, 2023 so the proviso is no
longer needed.

92
1.97 Anti-Bullying

electronic communication devices by students during direct classroom
instructional time in order to receive state funds allocated for State Aid to

sources as they deem appropriate to achieve student outcomes with specific
parameters. This amendment changes the reference to the “2022-23 school
year” to “current school year.”

1A.19 Accountability Program Implementation

Amend This proviso allows the Education Oversight Committee (EOC) to carry forward
EIA funds. The amendment eliminates references to a grants program that is no
longer funded and allows funds for the Education Data Dashboard to be carried
forward.

93
1A.26 Full-Day 4K

providers. The amendment increases the minimum reimbursement rate for

the program was implemented statewide in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the amendment
also deletes references to statewide expansion in the current fiscal year. At the
