Kemp GOVERNOR STATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900 The Georgia State Senate The Honorable Geoff Duncan, Lieutenant Governor The Georgia House of Representatives The Honorable David Ralston, Speaker The Citizens and Families of Georgia Dear Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Speaker, Members of the General Assembly, and Fellow Georgians: Georgia has weathered a time of tremendous uncertainty over the two last years, and yet, we have emerged stronger than ever. Our economy has shown itself to be as resilient as our citizens. In the last month, we have announced both the single-largest economic development investment in state history along with the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded. Throughout the pandemic, we made tough, necessary decisions, we kept Georgia's doors open for business, and we provided uninterrupted service to the people of this state. Our cost-cutting measures at the onset of the pandemic coupled with our robust economy are now providing us the opportunity to reallocate resources and make historic investments in our state and citizens through the Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 budgets. Ultimately, these efforts will maintain our position as the number one state in which to do business. In the FY 2021 budget, we made significant reductions in state spending to hedge against any potential economic downturn associated with the pandemic. However, the strength of Georgia's underlying economy, coupled with our emphasis on protecting both lives and livelihoods during the pandemic resulted in higher-thanexpected revenues. As a result, we were able to fully fund our Revenue Shortfall Reserve and provide for an additional undesignated surplus as well. This one-time surplus belongs to the taxpayers, not the government. Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Revenue to provide $1.6 billion in refunds to every taxpayer in Georgia from the undesignated surplus. Under this plan, as taxpayers file their 2021 tax returns this winter and spring, they will see an additional credit that goes right into their pockets. The credits range from $250 for single filers to $500 for joint filers. Keeping Georgia the number one state in which to do business depends on a having a work-ready and skilled workforce. Investing in our future workforce begins with our children. It is our responsibility to ensure they have the right skills and abilities to lead productive, fulfilling lives. The investments that we make today in Georgia's educational system will pay dividends for generations to come. Throughout my administration, I have been steadfast in my support of educators. Our educators are responsible for instilling in our youth invaluable life skills, challenging them to think critically and push themselves. Success in the classroom begins with the teacher. We must strive to retain our highest quality teachers while continuing to attract the best and brightest to the profession. Therefore, this budget fulfills my promise to increase teacher salaries by $5,000 during my administration by providing an additional $643 million between AFY 2022 and FY 2023 for teacher pay from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This budget also restores $388 million in both fiscal years to eliminate the austerity reduction made at the start of the pandemic to ensure our school systems and teachers have the resources that they need to be effective in their classrooms. The AFY 2022 and FY 2023 budgets will collectively provide an additional $1.4 billion in direct funding for our K-12 schools, investing more per K-12 student than ever before. It is also clear that to succeed in the job market, students need specialized skills obtained through our post-secondary education system. Keeping higher education affordable for students is essential in keeping higher education accessible. My budget includes $85 million to fully fund enrollment growth in our higher education programs; but as with K-12 education, it also fully restores the remaining austerity reductions to our university and technical college systems of more than $271 million. Restoring these funds will allow the University System of Georgia to remove the special institution fee imposed on students since the Great Recession; it will allow the Technical College System of Georgia to expand critical programs in health care, manufacturing, and commercial truck driving to better meet the needs of our economy without increasing tuition on our students. Additionally, we know that the HOPE scholarship and grant programs have helped millions of Georgians afford their postsecondary educations, but as tuition has increased at some institutions, the program has not kept pace. This budget will provide an additional $79 million to fund growth in scholarship and grant needs and ensure that HOPE programs cover at least 90 percent of tuition at all Georgia public higher education institutions. Our world-class, work-ready workforce is what enabled us to make the single-largest economic development announcement in the state's history last month. Our partnership with Rivian, Inc. will bring 7,500 jobs and $5 billion of investment to east Georgia. This budget proposal upholds our end of that landmark deal by providing $125 million for land and training development opportunities for both Rivian and the citizens of that area. We are also investing more than $41 million in our state parks to renovate and expand facilities across Georgia to attract tourism to our wondrous natural resources. Finally, we are committing an additional $80 million dollars to complete the renovation and expansion of the Savannah-Georgia Convention Center to continue to attract large convention delegations to the state and further invest in Savannah's tourism industry. Tourism and hospitality have been two of the hardest hit sectors nationally by the pandemic, and the investments in this budget will help keep visitors flowing to our state. While our economy flourishes, we must not lose sight of the impact that the pandemic has had on some of our most vulnerable citizens. Widespread inflation nationally has made it more difficult for many Georgians to afford everyday household needs, but my administration has been committed to providing affordability in our health care system. The FY 2023 budget includes $139 million dollars to implement the state's reinsurance program and online health insurance portal which will enable Georgians to better access affordable health care plans and keep insurance premiums lower for all Georgians. My budget proposals also seek to maintain stability in our Medicaid system by further supporting our providers to keep them in the Medicaid network. The FY 2023 budget includes an additional $85 million for physicians through improved provider rates and the elimination of the attestation requirement so that they can continue to serve Medicaid patients without operating at a loss. Finally, the FY 2023 budget also includes $27.8 million to provide a 10% provider rate increase for those individuals and organizations caring for our state's foster children to offset the rising cost of caring for children in need. We also are expanding coverage and increasing access for vital health services for vulnerable populations. My budget will now provide Medicaid coverage for new mothers for a full year after birth to help address the problem of maternal mortality in our state. It provides $33.5 million for behavioral health and developmental disabilities systems to aid our mental health crisis networks and provide additional opportunities for individuals living with developmental disabilities to access services that enable them to live fulfilling, independent lives. Finally, this budget provides $39.5 million to automatically enroll children in Medicaid services as part of an application for food assistance or TANF benefits to guarantee that more children receive the health benefits for which they are eligible. A central priority of my administration has been the safety of our citizens. This budget continues my war on street gangs and human trafficking by adding an additional $1.6 million for the Department of Law to establish a gang prosecution unit and expand the human trafficking unit. These units help ensure that we have the specialized expertise and focus to prosecute criminals to the full extent of the law and put them behind bars. We are also investing $7 million in medical examiners and forensic services at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to ensure backlogs in processing criminal evidence do not delay justice. Furthermore, as our judicial system has focused on providing rehabilitative support in the community where appropriate for low-level, nonviolent offenders to avoid recidivism, our state prison population has become filled with increasingly violent offenders. Our aging prison facility infrastructure was not intended to house the level of offender who resides there today, and it requires higher levels staffing and facility maintenance to manage these dangerous environments. Therefore, my budget makes an historic investment in our prison infrastructure by providing $600 million between the AFY 2022 and FY 2023 budgets to transform our correctional infrastructure with the purchase of a newer prison facility and construction of a 3,000 bed facility to house medium and high-security prisoners. These investments will allow us to close four of our older and most dangerous facilities, saving the state operational costs in the future while providing safer environments for our correctional officers. Finally, as Georgia has emerged from the pandemic, our workforce has become more resilient than ever. Because of our focus on doing more with less and increasing technology utilization, the state has fewer employees today than in FY 2008, excluding the University System of Georgia. However, state government positions must remain competitive with other government entities in order to attract and retain a talented workforce capable of meeting the needs of our citizens. I have consistently heard from our state agency heads regarding the need to improve state employee pay to reduce turnover and save the state resources needed to continuously hire and train new staff. Therefore, this budget makes the first cost-of-living adjustment for full time, benefit eligible state employees in fourteen years, to provide a $5,000 pay increase for full-time, benefit eligible state employees, increase the employer match for 401(k) contributions, and annually allow employees to withdraw up to forty hours of eligible leave as pay. These investments will reward our state employees and their work, enable us to better retain talented individuals, and reduce unnecessary expenses related to turnover. By protecting lives and livelihoods, Georgia leads the nation in economic prosperity despite the pandemic. The budget herein leverages funds saved from difficult choices made early in the pandemic for historic investments in our educational entities, economy, state workforce, public safety priorities, and most importantly, our citizens. I appreciate your consideration of this budget recommendation, and I look forward to working with you during this upcoming legislative session to keep our state the best in the nation in which to live, work, and raise a family.

This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. Current law provides that the reserve cannot exceed 15% of the previous fiscal year's net revenue. For each fiscal year, the General Assembly may appropriate an amount up to 1% of the net revenue collections of the preceding fiscal year for funding increased K-12 needs. In addition, the Governor has the authority to release funds from the reserve in excess of 4% of the net revenue of the preceding fiscal year. The chart for FY 2010 includes agency surplus collected after June 30, 2010 and does not include funds used for mid-year K-12 adjustment.

The amounts starting in FY 2017 represent both Federal and State funding sources. 2) Administratively attached agency to the Department of Public Health. 3) All other Medicaid benefit expenditures do not include inpatient hospital services. 4) Budget and expenditure data shown above is presented as submitted to the Office of Planning and Budget by state agencies. The U.S. Supreme Court decision, Olmstead v. L.C (1999) declared that unnecessary segregation of individuals in institutions might constitute discrimination based on disability and be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The decision affects qualified individuals with a physical, mental, or age-related disability who are receiving state-supported long-term care in a state hospital or nursing home that could also benefit from community placement and are not opposed to the move. It also affects people with disabilities who need state-supported community-based services to avoid going to state hospitals or nursing homes. Since the Olmstead decision, Georgia has taken steps to comply with the ruling by making more community services available and accessible to Georgians with disabilities. 46 Governor's Budget Report Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 47 Georgia Senate Program Budgets Amended FY 2022 Budget Changes Lieutenant Governor's Office 1.

(DCH) was created in 1999 to serve as the lead agency for health care planning and purchasing issues in Georgia. A nine-person board appointed by the Governor has policy-making authority for DCH. The Department has three major divisions: Medicaid, State Health Benefit Plan, and Healthcare Facility Regulation. MEDICAID DCH is designated as the single state agency for Medicaid. The largest division in the department, the Medicaid Division, purchases health care on behalf of 2 million persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or low income. Program participants utilize a broad array of health care services including: hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services. Aged, blind, and disabled Medicaid members utilize a fee-for-service delivery system. Most low-income Medicaid members enroll in the Care Management Organizations (CMO) system for the management of their health care services. State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government traditionally paying between 65% and 69% of health care costs each fiscal year. The Division is also responsible for the PeachCare for Kids program, Georgia's version of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. PeachCare provides medical and dental coverage for approximately 145,000 children whose parents' income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, but who cannot afford private health insurance. Participants pay a monthly premium based on income and family size. Current eligibility allows children in families with incomes between 138% and 247% of the federal poverty level to participate in the program. Most PeachCare members are enrolled in the CMO system. The Division administers the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF). Using intergovernmental transfers and federal matching funds, the ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians. STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN The State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) Division manages the health insurance coverage for almost 665,000 state employees, school system employees, retirees, and their dependents. The SHBP offers members several coverage options managed by two statewide vendors and one regional vendor, including Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA), Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP), and standard and premium Medicare Advantage Plans. HEALTHCARE FACILITY REGULATON The Division of Healthcare Facility Regulation inspects, monitors, licenses, registers, and certifies a variety of health and long-term care programs to ensure that facilities operate at acceptable levels, as mandated by state statutes and by rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Community Health. HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The Health Information Technology (HIT) unit leads the strategic initiatives for the state in health information technology adoption and health information exchange (HIE). Initiatives include the Medicaid Electronic Health Records Incentive program, the Demonstration Grant for Testing Experience and Functional Assessment Tools (TEFT), and the Georgia Health Information Network (GaHIN). ADMINISTRATION The Division includes the Office of General Counsel, which provides legal assistance to the department and administers the Certificate of Need (CON) process, the Office of the Inspector General, Operations, Information Technology, Communications, and Financial Management. GEORGIA BOARD OF DENTISTRY The Georgia Board of Dentistry is responsible for the regulation of dentists and dental hygienists in Georgia. The Board reviews applications, administers examinations, licenses qualified applicants, and regulates the practice of licenses throughout the state. GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY The Georgia State Board of Pharmacy is responsible for the regulation of pharmacists and pharmacies in Georgia. The Board reviews applications, administers examinations, licenses qualified applicants, and regulates the practice of licenses statewide. ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Composite Medical Board licenses physicians and other health care practitioners and enforces the Medical Practice Act. The Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce provides financial support to medical schools and residency training programs. The board offers a physician loan repayment program in exchange for practice in rural and underserved areas. The Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency was created to ensure and protect the health, safety, and welfare of Georgia citizens by enforcing laws pertaining to manufactured or compounded drugs, and to ensure only licensed facilities or persons dispensed or distributed pharmaceuticals.

Governor's Budget Report Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 Department of Community Supervision Roles and Responsibilities The Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill (HB) 310, and on May 7, 2015, Governor Deal signed HB 310 into law thereby creating the Department of Community Supervision (DCS). HB 310 transferred the responsibilities of the community supervision of parolees from the State Board of Pardons and Paroles and probationers from the Department of Corrections to DCS. The bill also transferred oversight of private and governmental misdemeanor probation entities from the County and Municipal Probation Advisory Council (CMPAC) to DCS. Commencing operations on July 1, 2015, as a part of the executive branch of Georgia's government, the Department of Community Supervision is responsible for the effective and efficient supervision of approximately 224,000 adult felony offenders. AGENCY OPERATIONS The Field Operations Division is the largest within DCS. DCS Field Offices are aligned with the 10 judicial districts and 49 judicial circuits. The agency employs evidence-based practices to hold offenders accountable and reduce the state's recidivism rate. The department utilizes a holistic approach to offender supervision that involves all facets of the community, which includes victims and their families, programs for offenders and their families, involvement in community activities and partnerships with other criminal justice agencies. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF TRANSITION, SUPPORT, AND REENTRY The Governor's Office of Transition, Support, and Reentry (GOTSR) is tasked with promoting successful offender reentry and reducing recidivism in order to enhance public safety. Through collaboration with other state agencies, as well as nongovernmental stakeholders, GOTSR works to develop and execute robust and systematic reentry plans for Georgia offenders and to ensure the delivery of appropriate services to offenders reentering society. COURT, BOARD, AND FIELD SERVICES The Court, Board, and Field Services Division offers several initiatives and programs that advance the operational priorities of the Field Operations Division, including: Parole Board Services, Warrants, and Revocation Superior Court Accountability Court Services Sentencing Alternatives Day Reporting Centers Electronic and Voice Monitoring Community Counseling Services ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Commission on Family Violence was created by the General Assembly in 1992 and tasked to develop a comprehensive state plan to end family violence in Georgia. The Commission conducts research and provides training to law enforcement, family violence task forces, advocates, Family Violence Intervention Programs and other criminal justice system personnel about domestic violence. The agency also monitors legislation and other policies impacting victims of domestic violence, certifies all of Georgia's Family Violence Intervention Programs, and co-coordinates the statewide Domestic Violence Fatality Review Project.

More than 40,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. The Department serves the state in the following ways: Protecting citizens from incarcerated and supervised inmates; correctional environments will be safe, secure, and disciplined for all staff and offenders. Implementing sound correctional practices founded upon reliable and timely information; communications are enhanced through public awareness, collaborative partnerships, and effective departmental teamwork leading to a continuum of balanced sanctions available to the whole criminal justice system. Preparing inmates to accept responsibility for their offenses, to restore harm done to the community, and to lead productive, crime-free lives. This involves providing rehabilitative services in the areas of mental health, substance abuse, behavioral counseling, education, and job training. Developing a highly trained and professional workforce available to achieve the Department's mission, both today and in years to come. AGENCY OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured and secure environment, which removes offenders who pose a high risk from the community. GDC provides legally mandated services in the areas of physical, dental, and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services, and recreation. GDC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the prison system and the community. Inmates work in prison farm operations, food preparation, laundry, construction, facility and landscape maintenance, and perform factory work in Georgia Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. The types of GDC institutions include the following facilities: State Prisons: These institutions are typically reserved for felony inmates with more than one year of incarceration to serve. County Prisons: The state pays a subsidy to county institutions to house and supervise state inmates. Inmates assigned to the county prisons typically work on roadway or construction projects for the county in which they are housed. Probation Detention Centers: This program offers a shortterm, intensive incarceration period that enforces strict discipline and para-military protocol. Transition Centers: These community-based centers are designed to allow inmates nearing the end of their prison term to prepare for life in the community. GDC requires residents to have jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center, and support their families. Private Prisons: CoreCivic and GEO Group, Inc. owns and operates select facilities in the state. Like state prisons, these facilities are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve. Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Centers: RSAT is a nine-month, highly structured program that targets high risk, high needs inmates nearing release, probationers sentenced by the courts, parole revocators and other court or GDC-referred inmates who have a need for intensive substance abuse programming. Integrated Treatment Facilities: ITF is a nine-month, highly structured program that actively combines interventions intended to address both mental health and substance abuse issues in persons with co-occurring disorders with the intention of treating both disorders, related problems, and the whole person more effectively. Re-Entry Facility: GDC has reopened a state prison facility that has been remissioned to function as a re-entry facility for the Metro Atlanta area. The facility focuses on rehabilitating offenders to achieve recidivism reduction and accommodate re-entry needs. Offenders are connected, pre- and postrelease, with local stakeholders in the areas of employment, housing, education, treatment, and other services needed to successfully transition back into society. Other agency operations critical to the state correctional system include the following programs: Health Services: Provides the required constitutional level of health care in the most efficient, cost-effective, and humane manner possible, while protecting the public health interests of the citizens of Georgia through planning, implementing, and coordinating physical, dental, and mental health services as required, across GDC.

Budget Report Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 Department of Defense Roles and Responsibilities The Department of Defense serves the nation and the State of Georgia by organizing and maintaining National Guard forces, which the President of the United States can call to active duty to augment the nation's regular armed services, or which the Governor, as Commander-in-Chief of the State Militia, can order deployed in instances of disaster, riot, violence, or other dangers threatening the state and its citizens. The Department achieves these objectives through its four components: Office of the Adjutant General, Air National Guard, Army National Guard, and the State Defense Force. Using these components, the Department operates and manages approximately 1,200 training, maintenance, and logistics army facilities statewide. In addition to its core mission, the agency also operates Youth Challenge Academies which provide educational opportunities to at-risk youth. GEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD The role of the Georgia Air National Guard is to provide fully equipped and trained combat units which are prepared to respond to state or national emergencies. The activation and deactivation, organization, administration, training, equipping, and housing of its units, as well as the evaluation of its wartime capability, are mandated responsibilities. GEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD The Georgia Army National Guard is responsible for maintaining a level of operational readiness which allows for immediate and effective response to state or national emergencies, civil disturbances, and natural disasters. OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL The role of the Office of the Adjutant General is to provide command and control of the entire organization, as well as centralized administrative support for the department. The Adjutant General also serves as the state's director of the Selective Service System. STATE DEFENSE FORCE The role of the volunteer State Defense Force is to serve as an auxiliary unit in the event of a full mobilization and to provide assistance to state and local governments and civil organizations during emergencies and natural disasters, as well as support for the staging of special events. YOUTH CHALLENGE ACADEMY Another responsibility of the Department of Defense is the operation of Youth Challenge Academies for at-risk youth in the State of Georgia. This program is a preventative rather than a remedial program that targets at-risk youth participants 16 to 18 years of age who are high-school dropouts, unemployed, drugfree, and not involved in the criminal justice system.

The Department disburses state education funds, provides technical assistance and support services to local school systems, operates three state schools for hearing and visually impaired students, and provides intensive assistance to local schools identified with significant student achievement issues. The SCSC is an independent state level entity with the ability to authorize and monitor state charter schools providing more public educational opportunities throughout the state. There are 219 state funded local education agencies in the state (180 school systems and 39 state commission charter schools) operating more than 2,300 schools. These schools are primarily funded through the Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula - a partnership between the state and local school systems that provides over $9 billion in funding for education. CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, AND ASSESSMENT The Department of Education transitioned from the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) to the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) for the subject areas of English/language arts and mathematics in the 2012-2013 school year. These standards were adopted for all of Georgia's K-12 public schools and align with college and career readiness standards that will help prepare Georgia's students with the knowledge and skills they need in education and training after high school. The standards are internationally benchmarked and are consistent with rigorous high school diploma requirements for all students. The Department implemented the Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones), a comprehensive summative assessment program spanning grades 3 through high school designed to measure how well students have mastered the skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students in grades 5 and 8 complete an end-of-grade assessment in each content area, while students in grades 3, 4, 6, and 7 complete an end-ofgrade assessment in mathematics and English. High school students complete an end-of-course assessment for each of the eight courses designated by the State Board of Education. In addition to providing daily instruction, the Department administers a number of programs for students in need of additional services, including a program for disabled preschool children, tuition for the multi-disability students, and funding for the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) through grants totaling $92.5 million. In an effort to expand educational opportunities for all students in Georgia, the department offers a variety of digital experiences through Georgia Virtual Learning. These experiences include the opportunity to take courses through the Georgia Virtual School, recover credit through Georgia Credit Recovery, and access aligned digital content through a blended learning model. All courses and content provided through Georgia Virtual Learning are aligned with the Georgia Standards of Excellence in the core content areas, foreign language, business electives, and Advanced Placement. There were over 30,000 course enrollments for the 2019-2020 school year. SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS The Department administers funds and provides technical assistance for school improvement. As part of Georgia's flexibility waiver from the U.S. Department of Education, Georgia developed the Georgia College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). The CCRPI is a comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform for all education stakeholders. The Department also implemented the Georgia Student Growth Model that measures the amount of growth a student has demonstrated relative to academically-similar students from across the state. The School Improvement program continues to offer a wide array of services, including professional learning, data analysis, planning and organization, and instructional best practices for schools not meeting standards. The Department of Education also provides funding and support for many state and federal grant programs, including Title I Part A, Migrant Education, McKinney-Vento Homeless Education, Rural Education, Neglected and Delinquent Education, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Teacher and Leader Effectiveness, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Pupil Transportation, Equalization, and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education. ATTACHED AGENCIES One agency is attached to the Georgia Department of Education for administrative purposes. The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia annually reviews the academic and financial performance of commission charter schools. It also develops and promotes best practices to ensure the establishment of high-quality charter schools in Georgia. The State Board of Education reviews the decisions of the State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia. The SCSC operates autonomously, but is funded through the Department.

Employees' Retirement System (ERS) administers nine separate retirement systems and programs: ERS, the Legislative Retirement System (LRS), the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP), the Georgia Judicial Retirement System (GJRS), the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS), the State Employees' Assurance Department (SEAD), the Georgia Military Pension Fund (GMPF), Georgia's Social Security Program, and PeachState Reserves. ERS is a vehicle for collecting employee and employer contributions, investing accumulated funds, and disbursing retirement benefits to members and beneficiaries. As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet the future obligations of each retirement plan. An independent accounting firm also audits the system each year. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM Since 1949, the staff of ERS has administered retirement benefits for state employees in accordance with the Official Code of Georgia. Full-time employees of participating departments are required to become members of ERS as a condition of employment, except for employees who first become eligible after age 60. The ERS Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for administration of the system, while the executive director who is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members is responsible for daily management of ERS operations. The board consists of seven members as follows: Three ex officio members (State Auditor, Department of Administrative Services Commissioner, and State Treasurer) One member appointed by the Governor Two members appointed by the first four members with five or more years of creditable service with ERS and One member appointed by the first six members who must not hold public office, not be an ERS member, and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of money The members who are not ex officio members serve fouryear terms. LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN LRS is a retirement plan for members of the General Assembly, while GDCP is a plan for temporary, seasonal, and part-time employees of the state not covered by ERS or the Teachers Retirement System (TRS), and who do not participate in Social Security. Both plans are placed under the administration of the ERS Board of Trustees. GEORGIA JUDICIAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM This system is for members and retirees of the Superior Court Judges Retirement System, the District Attorneys' Retirement System, and the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund, as well as certain employees of the Attorney General and Legislative Counsel. The GJRS Board of Trustees consists of the seven ERS trustees plus three additional members appointed by the Governor who serve in one of the following positions: state court judge, superior court judge, state court solicitor-general, juvenile court judge, or district attorney. These appointments are for four-year terms. PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM PSERS offers a supplemental retirement plan to certain public-school employees not covered by TRS. These employees include bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians. The PSERS Board of Trustees consists of the seven ERS trustees plus two additional members appointed by the Governor for fouryear terms. GEORGIA MILITARY PENSION FUND GMPF provides retirement allowances and other benefits for the Georgia National Guard. A member becomes eligible for benefits upon attainment of age 60 with 20 or more years of creditable service (including at least 15 years of service as a member of the National Guard), having served at least 10 consecutive years as a member of the National Guard immediately prior to honorable discharge. PEACHSTATE RESERVES PeachState Reserves is the deferred compensation retirement plan for the State of Georgia. Through this program employee contributions and investments in 401(k) and 457 plans are administered. AUTHORITY Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

The Commission has four programs: Administration, Forest Protection, Forest Management, and the Tree Seedling Nursery. Through these programs, the Commission provides a wide variety of services to rural forest landowners, offers technical assistance to municipalities and urban landowners, provides seedlings to the citizens of Georgia, and protects the forest resources of the State through fire prevention and suppression. TREE SEEDLING NURSERY Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the Commission's Tree Seedling Nursery activities with a goal of producing, selling, and distributing high quality forest tree seedlings to the residents of Georgia. The Arrowhead Seed Orchard and the Flint River Nursery serve as the program's main seedling nursery locations. The Arrowhead Seed Orchard is the site for seed collection, as well as the location for the tree improvement program. At Arrowhead, program staff collect and process over seven tons of seeds per year. The seeds are sold to private nurseries or are shipped to the Flint River Nursery to be planted. The tree improvement program produces unique varieties of loblolly and slash pine trees, which are designated to thrive in Georgia's environment. At the Flint River Nursery, the program produces and sells forest tree seedlings. The nursery grows, lifts, and packs millions of seedlings each year. FOREST MANAGEMENT In Forest Management, the Commission provides technical assistance and services to private and industrial landowners, provides leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining sustainable urban and community forests, and provides professional expertise to resolve conflicts between development and forest resources. Forest Management helps to conduct forest health monitoring (including periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys, and eradication), promotion of forest water quality and monitoring of best management practices, and cost share technical assistance to forest landowners in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the department conducts the management of four State-owned and two non-State-owned forests through State Managed Forests. The Commission also works to educate the public about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment of Georgia both nationally and internationally. Forest Management also collects forestry data used to inform Georgia residents and policymakers through its Forestry Inventory and Analysis subprogram. FOREST PROTECTION Forest Protection is carried out through its fire business activities. This includes a statewide network of county and district offices supplied with staff and equipment necessary for the prevention and suppression of forest fires. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires, followed by a prompt response from firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. In addition, forest rangers carry out prescribed burns to mitigate forest fire risks. Under Georgia Code, the Commission is responsible for all wildfires in unincorporated areas of the state through the Rural Fire Defense subprogram. This program ensures coordination and cooperation with rural fire departments across the state and is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the Commission. Rural Fire Defense provides low cost fire equipment as well as assistance with training and operations for local, mostly rural, fire departments statewide. Through the Fire Prevention and Education activities, the Commission provides information about the dangers of wildfires and their prevention and has established prevention measures such as burn permitting to encourage responsible debris burning.

Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created by the General Assembly in its 1992 session. The Department's role is twofold: Provide for the supervision, detention, and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders committed to the state's custody or supervision, and Provide necessary public safety services by appropriately separating youth offenders from the community. The Department accomplishes its mission through the operation of its four programs: Community Services, Secure Detention, Secure Commitment, and Departmental Administration. DJJ provides its services to over 20,000 youth every year and maintains a daily population of about 10,500. Youth who enter into the Department's care include those sentenced to probation and short-term incarceration, or committed to the state's custody as part of a long-term secure confinement plan. Based on a needs assessment, youth placed in the Department's care receive a variety of rehabilitative services as well as required educational programming. The Department operates the 181st state school district and has received dual accreditation from both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and Correctional Education Association (CEA) for both its regular and vocational education components. Juvenile offenders participate in many therapeutic and counseling programs that support their transition back into their communities and reduce the risk of future delinquent activity. One of the Department's foremost principles is that of Balanced and Restorative Justice, a set of values that asks that the primary stakeholders in a crime be involved in repairing the harm caused and work to ensure that the community is a stronger place following the incident. DJJ simultaneously oversees three education transition centers (ETC) which aim to keep children in classrooms. These ETC's offer high school diploma's as well as GED's and provide local youth with opportunities to continue their education and earn course credits outside of public school classrooms. SECURE DETENTION All of the state's 19 Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) are included in the Secure Detention program. RYDC facilities are designed to provide a secure placement for youth awaiting formal adjudication for an offense and those youth sentenced to short-term incarceration of up to 30 days. Approximately 700 youth are housed in secure detention facilities daily. SECURE COMMITMENT The state currently utilizes six Youth Development Campus (YDC) facilities, which house juvenile offenders committed to the state for a maximum of five years. Approximately 300 youth are housed in secure commitment facilities on a daily basis. Both RYDC and YDC facilities provide the youth housed therein with a variety of services, including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and other therapeutic programs. AUTHORITY Title 15, 39, and 49 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. DJJ operates under the guidance of a 15-member board appointed by the Governor. COMMUNITY SERVICES This program houses the services provided to youthful offenders placed in community settings as a result of directives issued by the Juvenile Court system. A broad continuum of specific programs delivering supervisory and rehabilitative services are provided to these youthful offenders, including specialized residential placements, multi-systemic therapy services, intensive supervision programs, and electronic monitoring. In addition, increased supervision strategies and evidenced based programming have been implemented to address Juvenile Justice Reform requirements. Over 9,000 youth reside in community-based settings on any given day while in the Department's care. 248 Governor's Budget Report Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 Department of Juvenile Justice Program Budgets Amended FY 2022 Budget Changes Community Service Purpose: The purpose of this appropriation is to protect the public, hold youth accountable for their actions, assist youth in becoming law-abiding citizens and transition youth from secure detention, and provide the following alternative detention options: non-secure detention shelters, housebound detention, emergency shelters, a short-term stay in a residential placement, tracking services, wraparound services, electronic monitoring, or detention in an alternative program.

There are three broad federal program areas administered by the GDOL Employment Services, Labor Market Information, and Unemployment Insurance. EMPLOYMENT SERVICES Employment services help businesses find qualified workers and individuals find jobs. The services also provide businesses, economic development organizations, job seekers and workforce policymakers with up-to-date, customized workforce data. GDOL also provides workforce statistics and employment data by industry and occupation, worker availability, wages and projected employment trends at the state, regional and local levels. GDOL also is responsible for the child labor laws, which assists working youth to obtain necessary work permits; informs businesses, schools and parent groups of the relevant child labor laws; and inspects workplaces employing youth to ensure their safety on the job. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE In administering the Unemployment Insurance program, GDOL staff assists employers with state unemployment tax rates and charges, processing tax payments and employment reports, and provides unemployment insurance benefits to qualified individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. SERVICE DELIVERY Employment, reemployment, and unemployment insurance services are provided through the department's statewide network of career centers and a comprehensive online presence. The career centers work closely with partners to ensure businesses and individual customers receive services that fully address their workforce needs. Specific groups, including veterans and returning service members, agribusinesses and migrant workers and others receive customized services.

$165,611,032 Governor's Budget Report Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 273 State Board of Pardons and Paroles Roles and Responsibilities The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is comprised of five members appointed by the Governor and empowered to grant, deny, condition, and revoke executive clemency. With the support of more than 800 staff members, the board reviews the sentences of all inmates to determine what degree of executive clemency may be warranted, directs the clemency action, and monitors the progress of all offenders who have been paroled or conditionally released from prison until the completion of their sentences. AGENCY OPERATIONS In order to accomplish its mission, the agency has identified three core budgetary programs: Board Administration: Conduct the internal operations of the agency including fiscal management, staff training, human resources, quality assurance audits, and houses the board. Clemency: Making informed parole decisions and administering the parole violation, commutation, and interstate compact processes. Victim Services: Ensuring crime victims have a voice in the criminal justice process. The Clemency Decisions program consists of the Clemency and Field Services Divisions. The Clemency Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed parole decisions on current inmates. Parole decisions include a thorough review of individual criminal history, circumstances of the offense, recommendation of time to serve based on scientific, agency developed, Parole Guidelines, and validated risk assessments. The Pardons unit within the Clemency Decisions program compiles, reviews, processes, and presents for consideration all requests for restoration of civil, political, and firearms rights and pardons of all types. The Field Services Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed decisions regarding the issuance of board warrants, revocations or continuances of parole, extraditions, and considerations for commutation of parole. This case preparation includes the review and recommended actions in response to delinquent reports submitted by community supervision officers as a result of parole violations in the community. Additionally, the Field Services Division includes statutory activities related to Georgia's adherence to the Interstate Compact. The Interstate Compact Unit is responsible for conducting extradition activities, conducting preliminary and probable cause hearings, and managing the interstate compact process for all Georgia parolees. The Victim Services program is comprised of the Office of Victim Services (OVS). OVS provides opportunities for victims to communicate the impact of offender actions at all stages of the criminal justice process, by coordinating services for the Department of Corrections, the Department of Community Supervision, and the Parole Board. OVS provides systems for victims to obtain information regarding the custody status of inmates and notification upon release of the offender, as well as opportunities for face-to-face contact with the Board via Victim Visitor's Day.

As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet future obligations. In addition, an independent accounting firm audits the system annually. Administration of the system is ultimately the responsibility of the TRS Board of Trustees, while daily management of system operations is the responsibility of the executive director. The executive director is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its 10 members as follows: State Auditor, ex officio State Treasurer, ex officio Two classroom teachers (both active members of TRS but not employees of the Board of Regents) appointed by the Governor One school administrator (an active member of TRS but not an employee of the Board of Regents) appointed by the Governor One Board of Regents employee (an active member of TRS) appointed by the Board of Regents One trustee (an active member of TRS but not an employee of the Board of Regents) appointed by the Governor One trustee appointed by the Governor One retired TRS member elected by the trustees One Georgia citizen (who is not a TRS member and is experienced in the investment of money) elected by the trustees lunchroom, maintenance, warehouse, and transportation managers and supervisors. INVESTMENTS The Investment Services Division handles day-to-day investment transactions. Securities lending and portfolio officers, securities and investment analysts, and investment assistants are all part of the TRS investment team. Six members of the TRS Board of Trustees, along with the executive director, comprise the Investment Committee. Committee members convene with the Chief Investment Officer of the Investment Services Division and hear recommendations from outside investment advisors at monthly meetings. Investment recommendations made by the committee require approval by the entire board. COLA FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Teachers who retired prior to July 1, 1978 from a local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) receive a post-retirement cost of living adjustment (COLA) to their monthly benefit whenever such adjustment is granted to teachers who retire under TRS. FLOOR FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Any teacher who has retired from a local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) shall receive a minimum allowance upon retirement of not less than $17.00 per month for each year of creditable service, not to exceed 40 years of service.

In 1987, the new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education to provide guidance to public technical institutes operated by the state or by local boards of education. The board was renamed the State Board of Technical and Adult Education in 1988 to govern the newly created Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE). In 2008, the agency was renamed the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). The Department is divided into six programs: Technical Education, Adult Education, Workforce Development, Economic Development, Quick Start, and Administration. TECHNICAL EDUCATION TCSG oversees 22 technical colleges offering more than 600 programs of technical and general instruction. These programs provide opportunities for students to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills to keep pace with rapidly-changing technology and competition in a world market. Students attending technical colleges have the option of short-term programs as well as courses of study leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. These programs can range in duration from a few weeks to two years. The technical colleges served approximately 144,000 students and produced approximately 35,000 graduates last year. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT The Workforce Development program utilizes federal Title I Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funds to address the employment and training needs of dislocated workers, lowincome adults, and youth to meet the employability and workforce needs of the state's businesses and industries. The State Workforce Development Board oversees services administered through 19 local workforce development areas across the state. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND QUICK START The Economic Development program provides customized services for existing businesses in the state. Additionally, the Quick Start program provides employee training services to new and expanding industries as well as existing industries at no cost. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's business recruitment and retention efforts by serving as a state training incentive. Supported by TCSG's network of technical colleges, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in virtually every technology required by Georgia's manufacturing and service sectors. ADMINISTRATION The Administration program fulfills overall administrative roles for the central office and the technical colleges. These activities include budgeting, accounting, purchasing, asset management, personnel, information technology, research, public information, legal services, planning, and evaluation. AUTHORITY Titles 20 and 34 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. ADULT EDUCATION The Adult Education program, through its network of 31 service delivery areas throughout the state, promotes and provides adult basic education and literacy programs, including the General Educational Diploma (GED) testing program that awards GED diplomas. The program is the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education adult literacy funds. It is also the largest adult education provider for other state agencies and facilitates collaboration among state and local entities to improve literacy efforts for adults needing basic English literacy or specialized skills instruction. 360 Governor's Budget Report Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 Technical College System of Georgia Program Budgets Amended FY 2022 Budget Changes Adult Education Purpose: The purpose of this appropriation is to develop Georgia's workforce by providing adult learners in Georgia with basic reading, writing, computation, speaking, listening, and technology skills; to provide secondary instruction to adults without a high school diploma; and to provide oversight of high school equivalency preparation, testing, and the processing of diplomas and transcripts.

Amended FY 2022 and FY 2023 Department of Veterans Service Roles and Responsibilities The Department of Veterans Service (DVS) serves more than 752,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries in all matters pertaining to veterans affairs. Since all veterans' benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of informing veterans and their families about available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled. VETERANS ASSISTANCE The Department provides veterans assistance through an appeals staff, field offices, information division, and central office. The appeals staff assists veterans who are appealing decisions on claims made by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The 52 field offices, located throughout the state, provide direct assistance to veterans at the local level. Department field officers provide counsel and assistance in gathering documentation and information required to process a claim. The Information Division keeps Georgia veterans informed about issues and their possible impact. The Central Office manages and supports all administrative requirements. STATE VETERANS NURSING HOMES The Department operates two state veterans nursing homes. The Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville is a 550-bed facility licensed to provide skilled nursing care to eligible Georgia war veterans. It consists of three skilled nursing care buildings and an Alzheimer's Care facility. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home in Augusta is a 192-bed skilled nursing care facility located adjacent to Augusta University and the VA Charlie Norwood Medical Center. In addition to providing care for eligible Georgia war veterans, the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home serves as a teaching facility to acquaint medical and allied health students with medical conditions and diseases that confront the elderly. GEORGIA VETERANS MEMORIAL CEMETERIES The Department operates two state veterans memorial cemeteries, which are part of the nation's National Cemetery System. The Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Milledgeville, which opened in 2001, will eventually be a final resting place for more than 100,000 Georgia veterans, their spouses, and their authorized dependents. The Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Glennville, which opened in March of 2008, will eventually be a final resting place for more than 36,000 Georgia veterans, their spouses, and their authorized dependents. VETERANS EDUCATION ASSISTANCE As the state-approving agency for the federally sponsored Veterans Education Assistance Program (GI Bill), the department is responsible for approving and supervising all institutions (including public and private schools and establishments offering on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs) in Georgia that participate in this program. In addition to approving these institutions, DVS also inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are met. This function is 100% federally funded and is staffed with eight employees. GOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The seven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the Senate, governs DVS. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of a Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year term.

Since passage of this law, employees may now gain benefits from employers when injured on the job. The law ensures employees certain benefits paid to them as a result of on-the-job injuries. The same law also provides employers with a form of limited liability from these injuries. The state's workers' compensation law applies to all employers that have at least three full-time, part-time, or seasonal employees. Some categories of workers are exempt, however, including federal employees, railroad workers, farmers, domestic servants, business partners, independent contractors, and some corporate officers. The State Board of Workers' Compensation was created to oversee the workers' compensation law. The board may create rules, regulations, and policies to enforce this area of law. The board is also vested with the responsibility of conducting training seminars that educate employers, employees, insurers, selfinsurers, physicians, and rehabilitation suppliers about workers' compensation law changes and other related issues. If either the employer or an employee involved in a workers' compensation claim wishes to contest the facts involved in the case, an administrative law judge under the board or a board mediator may be used to settle the issue. Either party disagreeing with this ruling may appeal the decision through the appellate division, state superior or appellate courts; however, that avenue may only be used to debate points of law, not facts of a case. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The board consists of three directors, one of whom is the chair, and all are appointed by the Governor. The directors promulgate workers' compensation regulations and develop workers' compensation policy. They also hear appeals of administrative law judges' decisions and render rulings on appeals, as well as approve and submit budget requests for the agency. The executive director/chief operating officer oversees the operations of the board. The executive director also provides management supervision, makes presentations to various groups as requested, assists the directors as needed, and acts as peer review of medical services. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Division mediates appropriate issues, issues orders, and makes presentations to various groups as requested. The Appellate Division researches cases that are appealed to the board, recommends appropriate action, receives and processes documents regarding appealed cases, and sets calendars for appellate hearings. The Claims Processing Division includes data entry, documents processing, and file room units. These units are responsible for coding and quality input of claims data, processing correspondence, and coordinating the transfer, retention, and destruction of all claims files. The Enforcement Division investigates incidents of noncompliance and incidents alleging fraud, maintains information on employers' insurance coverage, and makes presentations to various groups regarding fraud/compliance. The Legal Division is responsible for conducting hearings in contested cases and ruling on motions. The Division schedules and holds hearings for those claims in which an evidentiary hearing was requested by a party, or in cases where mediation conference was either inappropriate or did not result in resolution of the pending issues. The Managed Care and Rehabilitation Division processes requests for rehabilitation services, performs quality assurance reviews of rehabilitation suppliers, holds conferences to resolve disputes, reviews and approves rehabilitation plans, reviews applications of managed care organizations, and registers rehabilitation suppliers. The Settlements Division reviews and processes stipulated settlements and requests for advances. The Information Technology Services Division provides innovative, contemporary, and accessible technology in computing, media, telephone services, and training to enable staff to meet their goals as a state agency.

The rollout of vaccines in early 2021 for increasing numbers of people, state government that worked hard to support small businesses and to balance public health with economic concerns, plus continuing federal aid to state and local governments, businesses, and people, helped to bring Georgia's economy back to nearnormal by fall 2021. As Georgia heads into 2022, the state has very low unemployment, rising wages and incomes, and record state tax collections due to the strong economy. The major economic issue of 2021 was and remains labor. Strong incomes have led to record sales at many Georgia businesses and strong demand for many sectors that were disproportionately impacted earlier in the pandemic, such as hospitality, has resulted in a shortfall of workers in many places and sectors. In September 2021, Georgia led the nation in job openings and was #4 in hiring rate; however, the separation rate equaled the rate employees were being hired, so Georgia businesses are having difficulty reducing their number of open positions.1 This heightened labor market churn is due to a combination of rapidly rising wages offered by employers in need of more workers, allowing existing workers to switch jobs at higher rates than normal, and employers taking chances on workers with less experience or fewer qualifications than normal and subsequently having to let some of them go. Further lengthening the time it is taking for businesses to fill all their open positions are hiring capacity constraints, as employers can only interview, hire, and train so many people per month, and the fact that some previous workers are remaining out of the labor force due to a variety of personal factors. The demand for labor has resulted in the state having a record low unemployment rate of 3.1%.2 As Georgia enters the end of calendar 2021 and the halfway point of fiscal year 2022, federal fiscal and monetary policy are regularizing, removing stimulus from the economy. While there is little concern that federal policy will become a drag on the economy, the slowing of adding fuel to the fire will tend to allow the economy to return to more normal growth rates and patterns of behavior. Further, it is anticipated that the withdrawal of fiscal and monetary stimulus will lead to a slowdown in growth in the second half of fiscal 2022. Additional proposed federal spending legislation would be offset by additional taxes, minimizing any likely additional economic stimulus from the legislation. While federal government policies will likely result in a slowing of economic activities, Georgia's economy will be supported at the same time by the savings its citizens accumulated during the pandemic. Based on data on personal incomes and savings rates, Georgians have an aggregate $75 billion in additional savings that will support consumer spending during the period of transition back to economic normality. That $75 billion represents between one and two months of normal spending, so is easily large enough to cushion any blows from the return to more neutral fiscal and monetary policy. These savings will also help mitigate the impact of current high inflation as long as inflation moderates by the summer or fall of 2022. The two economic issues likely to take center stage in 2022 are supply chain problems and inflation. Inflation hit a thirty-year high in October 2021 and was higher in Georgia than the national average. Georgia, along with other southern states, is experiencing higher inflation due to spending more of the average household's budget on categories such as transportation that have seen larger price increases. While the supply chain has experienced problems, goods are still getting to consumers, as evidenced by increased retail spending. The issue is that while the supply chain is delivering more goods than ever, consumers want to buy even more, resulting in backups, particularly in the ports. If COVID related fears decline and consumer spending patterns return to a more normal goods-services split, the logistics problems should abate. The same is true of inflation. Other than energy, much of the inflation currently being experienced is due to consumers spending much more on goods than usual and less on services. Goods producers have not responded with sufficient additional supplies, both because of logistics constraints and the likely temporary nature of the increase in demand, and so prices for goods have risen rapidly. When spending patterns normalize, inflation should return to a much lower level. 1 Bureau of Labor Statistics. State Job Openings and Labor Turnover September 2021.
