   Section 1. Section 164 of the executive law, as amended by chapter 833
 of the laws of 1965, is amended to read as follows:
   § 164. Reports by and to the department.  Each department, other  than
 the  executive  department,  shall make an annual report to the governor
 and legislature on or before the fifteenth day of May, for the preceding
 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
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
