S 164. Reports by and to the department. 1. Each department, other
than the executive department, shall make an annual report to the gover-
nor and legislature on or before the fifteenth day of May, for the
preceding calendar year. It shall contain such information concerning
the department and its several divisions, bureaus, offices, agencies and

tions, as the head of the department shall deem necessary or proper, and

or other body in the department or from any subordinate officer or
employee, division or bureau of the department, or from any institution
subject to the supervision of the department, or from any agency of the
department, such reports or information as such head may deem necessary.
Unless expressly authorized by the head of the department, there shall
be hereafter no separate report, annual or otherwise, directly to the
legislature or governor by any such board, commission, body, officer,
division, bureau, institution or agency notwithstanding any existing
provision of law authorizing or requiring such report.

DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, OR THE STATEWIDE FINAN-
CIAL SYSTEM MANAGED BY THE DIVISION OF THE BUDGET SHALL MAKE AN ADDI-
TIONAL REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE BY MARCH FIRST OF EACH YEAR RELATING TO

S 2. Section 14 of the state finance law, the closing paragraph as

S 14. Departmental statements. 1. In addition to the annual department
reports prescribed by law, the head of each department of the state, on
or before the fifteenth day of October in each year, shall submit to the
governor a statement of the sources, amounts and disposition of all
money received by such department, its divisions, bureaus or officers
for the preceding fiscal year other than money appropriated for such
department by the legislature or money which was paid by such department
into the treasury. Such statement shall include a description of the
nature and the amount of each fund, if any, then under the supervision
or control of such department or the head thereof or under the super-
vision or control of any division, bureau, commission, board or other
organization therein or under the supervision or control of the head or
any other officer of such division, bureau, commission, board or organ-
ization, which was derived from any source whether or not deposited in
the treasury, a citation of the statute authorizing the creation or
establishment of each such fund and the nature and amount of any
payments made therefrom during the preceding fiscal year. The director
of the budget in the executive department shall make rules, which shall
be approved by the governor, regulating the form and contents of such
statements. Copies of such statements shall be simultaneously furnished
to the senate finance committee and the assembly ways and means commit-
tee for their information.
2. The governor, in such form and with such explanation as he may
desire, shall transmit to the legislature, with the annual budget, a
recapitulation or summary of the information contained in such state-
ments arranged under appropriate headings for each department. The
provisions of this section shall not apply to any funds received by the
superintendent of financial services [or the superintendent of financial
services] in a fiduciary capacity or to the state teachers' retirement
fund, or any state employees' retirement and pension fund, but such
exemption from the application of this section shall not affect any
other provision of law requiring a report or statement of such funds.

DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, OR THE STATEWIDE FINAN-
CIAL SYSTEM MANAGED BY THE DIVISION OF THE BUDGET SHALL MAKE AN ADDI-
