    19  be hereafter no separate report, annual or otherwise,  directly  to  the
    20  legislature  or  governor  by any such board, commission, body, officer,

     1  division, bureau, institution or  agency  notwithstanding  any  existing
     2  provision of law authorizing or requiring such report.
     3    2.  In  addition  to  the annual report required by this section, each
     4  department, including the executive department, shall make an additional
     5  report to the legislature by the fifteenth of May of each year  relating

     6  to  distribution of funds and grants to community based organizations by

    12  follows:
    13    § 14. Departmental statements. In addition to  the  annual  department
    14  reports  prescribed by law, the head of each department of the state, on
    15  or before the fifteenth day of October in each year, shall submit to the
    16  governor a statement of the sources,  amounts  and  disposition  of  all
    17  money  received  by  such department, its divisions, bureaus or officers

    18  for the preceding fiscal year other than  money  appropriated  for  such
    19  department by the legislature or money which was paid by such department
    20  into  the  treasury.  Such  statement shall include a description of the
    21  nature and the amount of each fund, if any, then under  the  supervision
    22  or  control  of  such department or the head thereof or under the super-
    23  vision or control of any division, bureau, commission,  board  or  other
    24  organization  therein or under the supervision or control of the head or
    25  any other officer of such division, bureau, commission, board or  organ-
    26  ization,  which  was derived from any source whether or not deposited in
    27  the treasury, a citation of the  statute  authorizing  the  creation  or
    28  establishment  of  each  such  fund  and  the  nature  and amount of any
    29  payments made therefrom during the preceding fiscal year.  The  director

    30  of  the budget in the executive department shall make rules, which shall
    31  be approved by the governor, regulating the form and  contents  of  such
    32  statements.  Copies of such statements shall be simultaneously furnished
    33  to the senate finance committee and the assembly ways and means  commit-

    35    The governor, in such form and with such explanation as he may desire,
    36  shall  transmit  to the legislature, with the annual budget, a recapitu-
    37  lation or summary  of  the  information  contained  in  such  statements
    38  arranged  under appropriate headings for each department. The provisions
    39  of this section shall not apply to any funds received by the superinten-
    40  dent of banks or the superintendent of insurance in a fiduciary capacity
    41  or to the state teachers'  retirement  fund,  or  any  state  employees'

    42  retirement  and pension fund, but such exemption from the application of
    43  this section shall not affect any other provision  of  law  requiring  a
    44  report or statement of such funds.
    45    In  addition  to  the  annual  report  required  by this section, each
    46  department, including the executive department, shall make an additional
    47  report to the legislature by the  fifteenth  of  October  of  each  year
    48  relating  to  distribution of funds and grants to community based organ-
    49  izations by or through such department.  Such  report  shall  provide  a
    50  listing of recipients, by zip code, of grants, awards or funds appropri-
    51  ated  for  services  and  programs which are made to organizations which
    52  provide services on a local basis pursuant to  programs  established  by
    53  law.
