__________
COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE
Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous

COMPILER'S NOTE
General Acts and Resolutions of the 2025 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One beginning at page 1. The Supplementary Appropriations Act for FY 2024-2025 and the Appropriations Act for FY 2025-2026 will be found in the Volume One Appendix. These two Acts have been separately placed in the Appendix in order to maintain the special formatting and unique characteristics of the underlying bills. Local and Special Acts and Resolutions will be found in Volume Two beginning at page 3501. Home rule actions by counties and consolidated governments and by municipalities filed in the Office of the Secretary of State between May 1, 2024, and May 1, 2025, are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4271 and 4285, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 1082, the last page of Volume One, and page 3501, the first page of Volume Two. This allows both volumes to be prepared simultaneously. The only page numbers in the Volume One Appendix will be those appearing in the underlying bills.
Indexes; lists of Acts, Bills, and Resolutions and their Georgia Laws page numbers; material related to courts; population charts; lists of members of the General Assembly; referendum results since 2000; and the Governor's veto messages are printed in Volume Three. Indexes cover material in both Volumes One and Two. The tabular indexes list matter by broad categories. The general index is a detailed alphabetical index by subject matter. When possible, general Acts have been indexed by reference to the titles of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed. Referendum results from 1953 to 1999 can be found in any Volume Three published prior to 2024.
Each Act and Resolution is preceded by the Act number assigned by the Governor and the House or Senate Bill or Resolution number which it was given when it was introduced in the General Assembly. Each Act or Resolution which was signed by the Governor is followed by the approval date on which it was signed by the Governor.

Article III, Section V, Paragraph XIII of the Georgia Constitution requires that I transmit this bill to you together with the reason for such veto. House Bills 308, 380, 433, 532, and 846, and the corresponding reasons for the vetoes are attached.

Sincerely,

GOVERNOR BRIAN P. KEMP 2025 SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
VETO MESSAGES AND SIGNING STATEMENT

VETO 1
House Bill 308 would, among other things, empower trial courts to order the installation of an "intelligent speed assistance device" when the registered owner of a vehicle used that vehicle to commit the offense of reckless stunt driving. While this provision is well-intentioned, as such devices could be a valuable tool for preventing street racers from becoming repeat offenders, the bill does not provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure this punishment would be consistently and effectively applied.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HOUSE BILL 308.
VETO 2
House Bill 380 would dissolve the Lower Chattahoochee Regional Airport Authority.
At the request of the sponsor, I VETO HOUSE BILL 380.
VETO 3
House Bill 433 would allow the Department of Human Services ("DHS") to access the full criminal history file maintained by the Georgia Criminal Information Center ("GCIC")-including cases resulting in acquittals, sealed files, dismissed charges, and arrests that never resulted in charges-of any prospective or existing employee or contractor of DHS, any prospective or existing foster parent, or any adult in the home of such foster parent. Separate statutes limit the information on which DRS can base any adverse employment or application decision to criminal convictions, nolo contendere pleas, and pending charges. See, e.g., Code Section 49-2-14.1. These limitations protect such individuals from being adversely treated based on charges that were dropped or never brought. There may be some circumstances in which DHS's interest in protecting the vulnerable populations it cares for outweighs the privacy interest of the individuals on whom DHS conducts records checks. Because DHS could not take any action based on this restricted information, however, this bill would only create unnecessary invasions of privacy and risks of litigation.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HOUSE BILL 433.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES

VETO 4
House Bill 532 would allow counties with 20,000 acres or more of unimproved land owned by the Department of Natural Resources, with such land constituting ten percent or more of the taxable real property in the county, to draw on multiple grant programs concurrently. Current law allows counties to access only one grant program, as each program independently compensates the affected counties for lost property tax revenue. The state's budget for fiscal year 2026 provides appropriations for the full value of lost property tax revenue for eligible counties without requiring any eligible county to draw on both programs. There is no reason, therefore, to allow duplicative grant payments to counties under both programs.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HOUSE BILL 532.

VETO 5
House Bill 846 would create a homestead exemption from Cherokee County ad valorem taxes in an amount dependent on revenue collected from a retail homestead option sales and use tax, contingent on the passage of legislation authorizing such a tax. Such legislation did not pass the General Assembly.
At the request of the sponsor, I VETO HOUSE BILL 846.

VETO 6
Senate Bill 46 would, among other things, require every state "department, agency, division, board, bureau, commission, authority, entity, or instrumentality" outside the University System of Georgia to designate a "lead agency service delivery official" who would report to a new "State of Georgia Government Service Delivery Lead" within the Georgia Technology Authority. The bill would also create annual reporting requirements. Such positions and requirements, even if fulfilled by existing employees, would undoubtedly create additional costs that the General Assembly failed to fund.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SENATE BILL 46.

VETO 7
Senate Bill 238 changes the composition of the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners from a county-wide elected chairperson and two commissioners to five commissioners elected on an at-large basis with the chairperson selected among the commission members. Rockdale County voters elected a new chairperson to serve their county commission for a fouryear term on November 5, 2024. Senate Bill 238 would circumvent the will of the voters

GEORGIA LAWS 2025 SESSION

229A

by cutting the chairperson's four-year term short and reassigning the chair to a newly created commission seat. Such a significant overhaul of the county's government structure deserves more thorough consideration by the Rockdale County government and the local delegation than is possible before this year's general election.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SENATE BILL 238.

SIGNING STATEMENT 1 Senate Bill 255 codifies the procedure by which committees of either chamber of the General Assembly issue subpoenas in furtherance of the General Assembly's inherent oversight function. Senate Bill 255 was vigorously debated throughout the legislative session. After careful analysis, I signed Senate Bill 255.
Senate Bill 255 neither creates nor limits the power of the General Assembly to issue subpoenas; it merely provides a procedure for the issuance and enforcement of such subpoenas. Other statutes already affirm the General Assembly's power to conduct investigations and compel testimony, and "[n]o law enacted by the General Assembly shall be construed to limit its powers." GA. CONST. ART. III, 6, III. Even if Senate Bill 255 was not signed into law, the General Assembly's authority would remain unchanged. Senate Bill 255 provides needed clarity on the procedural elements of legislative subpoenas.
I caution the General Assembly, however, that the procedures set forth in Senate Bill 255 should be used judiciously and sparingly. The General Assembly has a well-earned reputation for putting the business of legislating-and the people of Georgia-first. Americans of all political leanings have lamented the ineffectiveness of the United States Congress, in no small part due to the abundance of politically motivated "investigations" which only generate sound bites and distract from important legislation. I sincerely hope that in the future, Georgians do not similarly lament the General Assembly.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES

HB 68 FY 2026 APPROPRIATIONS BILL
INTENT LANGUAGE CONSIDERED NON-BINDING
Section 17, pertaining to the Department of Community Health, page 57, line 91.9: The General Assembly seeks to instruct the Department of Community Health to establish a grant program within the Department Administration (DCH) program for emergency generators pursuant to the passage of HB 262. HB 262 was not passed by the General Assembly during the 2025 Session and no funding was appropriated for this purpose. Therefore, the Department may disregard the language included in line 91.9.
Section 17, pertaining to the Department of Community Health, page 70, line 107.9: The General Assembly seeks to instruct the Georgia Composite Medical Board to implement technology for the credentialing of licensed doctors and physician assistants pending passage of SB 162. SB 162 was not passed by the General Assembly during the 2025 Session and no funding was appropriated for this purpose. Therefore, the Department may disregard the language included in line 107.9.
Section 24, pertaining to the Department of Education, page 94, line 142.9: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $268,157 in state general funds to the Department of Education for camp-affiliated staff in the Agricultural Education program. These funds would be used for expenses related to existing administrative staff within the Future Farmers of America (FFA) Foundation. The additional state funding would be used to supplant existing foundation funds used to support these positions and would not result in expanded or enhanced services to students in agricultural education programs across the state. As these funds would be used to supplant existing support for non-state employees rather than for expansion of student programming, the Department is directed to disregard the language included in line 142.9 and withhold spending the associated appropriation.
Section 24, pertaining to the Department of Education, page 97, line 147.5: The General Assembly seeks to instruct the Department of Education to utilize existing funds within the Curriculum Development program to provide one Cambridge International program exam for students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The budget as passed does not include any additional funding necessary to implement this provision and could direct funds away from other currently authorized program activities. Therefore, the Department is directed to disregard the language included in line 147.5.
Section 27, pertaining to the Office of the Governor, page 119, line 186.2: The General Assembly seeks to instruct the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency to establish the Georgia Resilience Office to plan and coordinate statewide resilience and disaster recovery. The agency already conducts planning and coordination of statewide resiliency and recovery efforts through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Flood Mitigation Assistance Program, and Pre-Disaster Mitigation

GEORGIA LAWS 2025 SESSION

233A

Program. Therefore, as establishing a separate Georgia Resilience Office would be duplicative of current state efforts, the Agency is directed to disregard the language included in line 186.2.
Section 28, pertaining to the Department Human Services, page 132, line 210.1: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $89,937 in state general funds to the Department of Human Services for the Council on Aging for personnel. These funds would be used in part to transition a current part-time administrative assistant position to a full-time position. The Council has not seen an administrative workload increase over the prior fiscal year that would necessitate establishing additional full-time staff, nor would such a staffing increase directly result in expanded or enhanced services to the aging community. Therefore, the Department is directed to disregard the language included in line 210.1 and withhold spending the associated appropriation of $56,379.
Section 30, pertaining to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, page 144, line 228.6: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $33,558 in state general funds to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council to increase funds for operational expenses. These funds would be used to provide salary increases for specific staff outside of a statewide cost-of-living adjustment for state employees. Targeted salary increases for staff should be aligned with identified workload or retention needs, which the Council has not identified. Therefore, the Council is directed to disregard the language in line 228.6 and withhold spending the associated appropriation.
Section 41, pertaining to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, page 181, line 284.5: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $450,000 in state general funds to the Agricultural Experiment Station program for five new positions dedicated to applied research for specifically listed commodity groups. As the University of Georgia already works closely with agricultural commodity groups in established industry research efforts, the University should have the flexibility to determine specific job titles and assignments for the additional positions based on the greatest needs and opportunities of the state's agricultural industry. Therefore, the agency is directed to disregard the language included in line 284.5 and hire and assign positions to ensure maximum statewide benefit.
Section 43, pertaining to the Secretary of State, page 204, line 327.2: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $600,047 in state general funds to the Secretary of State for the State Elections Board program for operations. As the General Assembly specifically directs that the additional appropriated funds should be to address increased operational expenses, the Board should not utilize funds for new positions. Additional personnel should not be hired by the Board until the impact of positions added in the FY 2025 budget has been assessed and new funds are appropriated specifically for such purpose. Therefore, the Board is directed to utilize the funds included in line 327.2 for technology to support the Board's existing staff and operations.
