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

division, bureau, institution or  agency  notwithstanding  any  existing
provision of law authorizing or requiring such report.

  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 that 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-

  2.  The governor, in such form and with such explanation as the gover-
nor may desire, shall transmit to the legislature, with the annual budg-
