Amended Budget Report Status 35- BUDGET IN BRIEF __________________________________________________________________________________ FISCAL YEAR 2001 With Amended FISCAL YEAR 2000 ROY E. BARNES GOVERNOR STATE OF GEORGIA Roy E. Barnes GOVERNOR STATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900 May 2000 MY FELLOW CITIZENS: The attached report details the finances of the State of Georgia for the rest of this year and the Fiscal Year 2001 that begins in July. To continue my commitment to the taxpayers, the FY 2001 budget provides the second installment on property tax relief for citizens by funding $166 million for the Governor's Property Tax Relief Program. This will raise the statewide homestead exemption even further from $4,000 to $6,000, so that the first $15,000 of the fair market value of your homesteads will be exempt from general county and school property tax. I remain committed to continuing this initiative until we can successfully eliminate property taxes on the first $50,000 of fair market value. I also remain committed to making government more accessible and accountable to the citizens that it serves. Georgians should be able to complete government business and obtain public information without leaving their homes. State workers must be able to access accurate, timely, and complete information needed to perform their jobs regardless of where the information originates. To make these needs realities and to improve government efficiency, we are including $5 million to fund the new Georgia Technology Authority to implement a statewide information technology initiative. Our children deserve a first rate education. Last year, I created the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission to examine public education in Georgia, review the most current educational research and innovations, and make recommendations for improvement. The Commission's first-year effort resulted in the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 along with recommendations for implementing the Act. To initiate the Act and the Commission's proposals, the budget includes almost $116 million in new state funding. This includes additional funds for smaller class sizes to improve student achievement; equalization grants to equalize up to 20 effective mills at the 75th percentile; smaller class sizes for the Limited English-Speaking Program; an Alternative Education Program for 2.5 percent of the students in grades 6-12; and increases in staffing for technology specialists, elementary counselors, and social workers. The budget also includes $4 million to fund school improvement teams to help low performing schools and $30 million in tobacco settlement funds to provide school nursing services in all schools. Finally, I have included $50 million in state and lottery funds for a comprehensive student information system to support improved fund accounting and education accountability. The FY 2001 budget continues the state's support of education by providing over $122 million in QBE grants to fund adequately a 1.39 percent enrollment growth and changes in training and experience for certified personnel. The budget also includes over $155 million in state general funds so public schools can accommodate the increasing cost of health insurance without passing the cost on to teachers. Students continuing their education beyond secondary school will also benefit from the FY 2001 budget. Almost $197 million has been budgeted for HOPE Scholarships for students enrolled in public and private colleges and technical institutions. These funds can be used for tuition, books, and fees to give all qualified students an opportunity to continue their education. Children must be healthy to be ready to learn. This means that health care must be available and affordable. I committed two-thirds of the state's tobacco settlement proceeds for health care, of which a significant portion will be devoted to expanding eligibility for Georgia's Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs; launching a smoking prevention effort; and expanding services for the disabled and elderly. In addition, the budget includes $10.5 million to increase reimbursement to physicians, hospitals and other providers paid through Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids. We are also making progress in controlling medical costs as evidenced by an almost $40 million savings in state funds resulting from the implementation of a Pharmacy Benefits Manager for the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs. The state has enjoyed a rapidly growing economy and standard of living, but these benefits have not been evenly distributed statewide. We must ensure prosperity in all regions of Georgia. To do this, over $62 million will fund the OneGeorgia Authority, which will be attached to the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. Funds will be invested to provide funding for $10 million in development opportunities; $10 million for infrastructure projects in qualifying counties; and $10 million for the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority for water and sewer loans for rural areas. I have also included $30 million for grants to local entities that qualify for state support under the Governor's Community Greenspace Program to preserve publicly accessible, connected green spaces in rapidly growing areas. Finally, Georgia's vigorous economy also allowed us to enhance the State's FY 2000 budget by providing midyear funding increases for many worthy projects. Almost $67 million was appropriated to provide funds for the midterm adjustment based on enrollment growth of 1.39 percent in public schools. Almost $102 million in bonds funded major capital outlay projects and $22 million in bonds financed minor capital outlay programs for the Board of Regents. Over $15 million in bonds were authorized to complete the phase IV expansion, purchase land, and develop parking facilities for the World Congress Center; and $20 million in bonds provided land acquisition financing in the Chattahoochee River corridor. I am confident that the FY 2001 budget provides a sound base for Georgia's continued prosperity, improved quality of life, and hope for the future. Sincerely, REB:rn Roy E.

This reserve serves as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. The reserve is created and maintained by allocating any surplus revenue collections of the state to this account up to 3 percent of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over three percent is available for appropriation.

The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10% of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage. Funds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $55,507,200 on June 30, 1999. The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount also be maintained within the Lottery for Education Account. The scholarship reserve law requires that the subaccount be fully established over five years at a rate of 10% a year until the reserve equals 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year. Lottery surplus available at the end of FY 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended FY 1996 budget and still leave enough funds over to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, authorized full funding of the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The Subaccount balance on June 30, 1999 totaled $77,718,586, as compared to the statutory requirement of $65,706,349. The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1999 total as follows: Shortfall Reserve Subaccount $ 55,507,200 Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount 77,718,586 TOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES $133,225,786 25 EDITOR'S NOTES ____________________________________________________________________________________ VETOES BY GOVERNOR HB 1160 FY 2001 General Appropriations Act Section 7 (page 7, line 287), pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs Vetoed $1,500,000 ($500,000 in state funds and $1,000,000 in tobacco funds) for State Community Development Block Grants. Governor Barnes explained: "When I established the OneGeorgia Authority to receive and use one-third of the tobacco funds for development of our rural and depressed areas, I intended it to be the only entity to receive the funds for this purpose. If tobacco funds are allowed to go to any other agency or for any other purpose, then it may unleash a rush by future legislatures to shift more of the OneGeorgia tobacco funds for use in other agencies and for other purposes. In my budget recommendations I identified rural programs and activities in the Board of Regents that qualified for OneGeorgia funding, but I did not provide funding for those programs and activities in the Board of Regents' budget. To maintain the integrity of the purposes of the OneGeorgia program and the tobacco funds supporting it, all funding and all project and policy decisions must flow through the OneGeorgia Authority." Section 11 (page 12, line 532), pertaining to the State Board of Education Vetoed $1,750,000 for Distance Learning Satellite Dishes. Governor Barnes explained this item would provide funding to plan, design and construct an interactive educational exhibit at the Harriett Tubman Museum. Georgia law restricts the use of lottery funds for capital outlay to educational facilities owned or operated by state entities or county, city or local school systems. This facility is owned and operated by a not for profit organization. Section 40 (page 37, lines 1648 through 1650), pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services Vetoed language originally approved in the 1996 session of the General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an 800 megahertz system. The Governor said it is now believed that a number of communication equipment purchases need to be made for security and safety reasons. The Office of Planning and Budget has issued policy guidelines relative to communication equipment purchases that will address budgetary approval and technical review requirements, he said. Section 51 (page 70, lines 3336 through 3340), pertaining to the Department of Transportation Vetoed language that authorized the department to transfer position counts between budget functions provided that the department's total position count does not exceed the maximum number of annual positions assigned by law. The Governor explained that the language is unnecessary for two reasons: (1) All executive branch agencies are legally authorized to amend their budgets and transfer positions between budget functions when a properly drawn amendment to the annual operating budget has been approved by the Office of Planning and Budget, and (2) The number of positions in each budget function is not specified in the Governor's budget recommendations to the General Assembly or in the annual appropriations act. Section 60 (page 72, lines 3438 through 3442), pertaining to federal funds Vetoed language that the Governor said essentially provides a pool of federal money to be available only to supplant state funds. It prohibits an amendment of federal funds above the amount appropriated in the Appropriations Act for purposes other than to supplant state appropriations for the pertinent programs. This language limits the state's ability to accept additional federal funds, as they become available throughout the fiscal year, the Governor said. HB 1162 Amended FY 2000 General Appropriations Act Section 11 (page 12, line 522 and page 13, line 556), pertaining to the State Board of Education Vetoed $30,000,000 in state funds (page 12, line 522) for a new student information and fund accounting system and $20,000,000 in lottery funds (page 13, line 556) for software and hardware associated with the new student information and fund accounting system. Governor Barnes said that although the initial intent was to place this function in the Department of Education, it was later decided that it would be more appropriate to assign it to the State Data Research Center in the Board of Regents. The revenue estimate for FY 2001 was adjusted in anticipation that the funds appropriated in HB 1162 would not be spent for these purposes and would lapse. 26 EDITOR'S NOTES ____________________________________________________________________________________ Section 40 (page 36, lines 1638 through 1640), pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services Vetoed language originally approved in the 1996 session of the General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an 800 megahertz system.
