 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
 institutions,  and  their  activities  and affairs, and such recommenda-
 tions, 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.
   2. IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL REPORT  REQUIRED  BY  THIS  SECTION,  THE
 DIVISION OF THE BUDGET SHALL MAKE A REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE BY SEPTEM-

 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

 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-
