  Section 1. Section 164 of the executive law, as amended by chapter 833
of the laws of 1965, is amended to read as follows:
  S 164. Reports  by and to the department.  Each department, other than
the executive department, shall make an annual report  to  the  governor

calendar  year. It shall contain such information concerning the depart-
ment and its several divisions, bureaus, offices,  agencies  and  insti-
tutions,  and their activities and affairs, and such recommendations, as
the head of the department shall  deem  necessary  or  proper,  and  any
matters  required  by  express  provision  of law to be included in such
report. A department also shall make such other and special  reports  as
the  governor  or either house of the legislature may require. From time
to time, the head of a department may require from any board, commission
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.  EACH DEPARTMENT,
TO  THE  EXTENT  PRACTICABLE, SHALL MAKE SUCH ANNUAL REPORT AVAILABLE TO
