MY FELLOW CITIZENS:
The attached report details the finances of the State of Georgia for the rest of Fiscal Year 2001 and for Fiscal Year 2002 which begins in July.
In my continued commitment to the taxpayers of Georgia, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 budget provides the next installment on property tax relief for citizens by funding $249 million for the Governor's Property Tax Relief Program. This will raise the statewide homestead exemption an additional $2,000, from $6,000 to $8,000, so that the first $20,000 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.
Education reform must continue to be at the forefront of our investments for Georgia's future. This year's education funding continues the implementation of initiatives created in the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 and additional proposals made by the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission in their second year of work. The FY 2002 budget includes $18.9 million to establish an Early Intervention Program (EIP) for students below grade level in grades 4-5. Also, the budget includes $7 million to provide additional funds for statewide reading programs combined with $27.8 million for existing programs and to allow the local systems to choose the reading programs they desire. Additionally, $7 million is included to increase funding for school improvement teams to assist 223 local schools that have requested assistance. And to assist kindergarten teachers in starting our young students on a strong academic path, $68.5 million has been added to fund paraprofessionals in kindergarten at a ratio of 1 paraprofessional to 18 pupils.
To improve student achievement and enhance learning opportunities, the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 requires smaller class sizes to improve student achievement. To meet these new classroom needs in local school systems, additional funds were added in the Amended FY 2001 budget. The most significant addition was a supplemental appropriation of $468 million for public school construction. Along with this, $110 million was added for fast growth capital outlay for school systems. In addition, the overall education portion of the bond package in the Amended FY 2001 budget is $387 million, or 64% of the total bond package, of which $102 million is for local systems. The combined total of $680 million represents the largest investment the state has ever proposed for local school construction.
In recognizing the importance of improving our teaching workforce and attracting and retaining great teachers, the FY 2002 budget includes $500,000 to create alternative certification programs to address critical teacher shortages in certain fields. Another $500,000 will fund the creation of distance learning courses to help end out of field teaching in critical shortage fields. There is also $150,000 for planning and implementing an Education Leadership Training Institute and another $200,000 to develop a plan to market teaching in Georgia.

The health and well-being of our citizens must always carry the highest priority. Because Georgia has such a high incidence of cancer and many of our citizens leave the state to acquire treatment, we must improve the early detection and the treatment of this dreaded disease. For these reasons, I am creating the Georgia Cancer Coalition and providing $60 million ($38.7 million in Amended FY 2001 and $21.9 million in FY 2002) to fund a variety of initiatives in cancer detection, research and treatment. These funds include over $28 million to create a Tier 3 Cancer Center of Excellence at Grady Hospital.
We must also target state services to the children and families of the state who are most in need. I included $2.1 million to provide Medicaid coverage for children in families with incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty level. There is $2.5 million for Babies Born Healthy to increase services to women who are poor but ineligible for Medicaid. I also included $4.3 million in additional funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. To help ensure the protection of our children, I included $7.1 million to increase salaries for child protective services staff engaged in investigation and placement activities as well as another $3.6 million to add 100 child protective services caseworkers and supervisors. Additionally, $5.2 million is included to raise the foster care and adoption assistance per diem based on the age of the child as well as another $4 million to fund a 5% caseload increase for family foster care and a 10% caseload increase in adoption assistance. To reduce the mental retardation waiting list, $11.2 million was added to increase community-based services.
To enhance continued economic growth and target the areas of the state most in need, I added $34 million in tobacco settlement proceeds for OneGeorgia Authority to promote rural economic development. To keep our business incubation efforts strong, the budget includes $4.5 million for additional faculty, research, space needs, commercialization and a new effort to mentor faculty at non-research institutions for the Yamacraw Project. In transportation, a combined $2.7 million is included in the Amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 budgets to continue planning, engineering and program assistance for implementation of the Georgia Rail Passenger Programs. Again this year I included $30 million to support fast growing communities in preserving 20% of their land as green space that will not be developed. To address our state's environmental needs, $3.5 million is included for the Environmental Protection Division to staff 60 new positions.
Finally, Georgia's strong economy also allowed us to enhance the State's Amended FY 2001 budget by providing midyear-funding increases for many worthy projects (in addition to the school construction). Almost $115.6 million was appropriated to provide funds for the midterm adjustment based on enrollment growth of 2.15% in public schools. An additional $12.9 million was added to continue and complete the development of Criterion Reference Competency Tests and continue the work on high school end-of-course tests for core subjects. Over $17 million in bonds was added for the Environmental Facilities Authority to support low interest loans for local water and sewer construction projects; and $16.9 million in bonds provided for the acquisition and rehabilitation of rail lines that are being abandoned by the railroads to ensure that Georgia communities have access to rail transportation.
I am confident that the Amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 budgets provide for Georgia's continued prosperity, improved quality of life, and hope for the future.

REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE
The 1976 session of the General Assemble created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve in lieu of the Working Reserve. 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 4 percent of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over three percent is available for appropriation.

LOTTERY RESERVES

Georgia's lottery laws require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.

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 $64,670,500 on June 30, 2000.

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 percent 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 left enough funds to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, fully funded the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2000 totaled $88,766,861, as compared to the statutory requirement of $65,706,349.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2000 total as follows:

____________________________________________________________________________________
VETOES BY GOVERNOR
HB 175 FY 2002 General Appropriations Act
Section 40 (page 37, lines 1711 through 1713), 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. All communications equipment purchases are now under the direction of the Georgia Technology Authority, and this language is inconsistent with general law, he stated.
Section 41 (page 37, lines 1724 through 1727), pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs Vetoed language that the Governor said is no longer necessary. As a part of the budget cuts to FY 1992, an Environmental Protection Division grant program that provided local governments with small loans for emergency water and sewer projects was eliminated. Later, this program was replaced with a state-funded loan program in the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA). This language was added to the appropriation bill at that time to highlight that a "loan" program was replacing a "grant" program. There has been no state funding for the GEFA emergency loan program since the end of FY 1999 and this language is no longer necessary, he stated.
Section 41 (page 91, lines 3861 through 3863), pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs Vetoed language, which provides special support to the Southeast Georgia Regional Development Center from funds appropriated to the object class Contracts for Regional Planning and Development. State support for these centers is allocated based on a 2-part formula: each of the 16 Regional Development Centers (RDC) receives a base amount of $85,000 annually; the remaining discretionary funds are distributed through an application process with the amount awarded based on the number of counties in each RDC's district. Since the current method of distributing funds to all RDCs is a fair and equitable process, and since the total appropriation for this object class was not increased to provide additional funding for the Southeast Georgia RDC, the Governor stated this language would effectively reduce funds available to the other 15 RDCs.
Section 50 (page 93, lines 3970 through 3974), 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 59 (page 96, lines 4081 through 4085), pertaining to federal funds Vetoed language that 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 stated.
HB 174 Amended FY 2001 General Appropriations Act
Section 40 (page 37, lines 1665 through 1667), 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. All communications equipment purchases are now under the direction of the Georgia Technology Authority, and this language is inconsistent with general law, he stated.

sewer projects was eliminated. Later, this program was replaced with a state-funded loan program in the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA). This language was added to the appropriation bill at that time to highlight that a "loan" program was replacing a "grant" program. There has been no state funding for the GEFA emergency loan program since the end of FY 1999 and this language is no longer necessary, the Governor stated.
Section 43 (page 78, lines 3339 through 3344) pertaining to provisions relative to Section 11, State Board of Education, Department of Education Vetoed language that reads:
"Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to 13% incentive grants to local school systems for implementing middle grades programs, such grants shall be made to local school systems for only those schools containing grades seven and eight or grades six, seven and eight which provide for a minimum of 85 minutes of common preparation time during the student instructional day to each interdisciplinary team of teachers responsible for instruction in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, and which meet criteria and standards prescribed by the State Board of Education for middle school programs."
House Bill 1187 eliminated the Middle School Incentive grant in favor of a new Middle School program. The former program was funded at 13% of the Middle Grades program earning. The new formula-based program is based on a class size of 23 students with 55 minutes of common planning time. The language (shown above) reflects the provisions of the now defunct Middle School Incentive grant rather than the requirements in House Bill 1187, the Governor stated.
Section 48 (page 80, lines 3418 through 3419), pertaining to the Department of Public Safety Vetoed language that authorized the Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to utilize any and all available funds to install call boxes on rural interstate highways. The GOHS administers and oversees the use of federal grants allotted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The National Highway Safety Grant Management Manual stipulates that grant funding cannot be used to purchase highway safety appurtenances. The GOHS expects to receive a NHTSA ruling verifying that call boxes are classified as a highway safety appurtenance and would be an unallowable item for grant funding.
Section 52 (page 81, lines 3458 through 3462), 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 61 (page 84, lines 3560 through 3564), pertaining to federal funds Vetoed language that 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 stated.
Section 62 (page 93, lines 3959 through 3965), pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund Vetoed language that reads:
"From the appropriation designated "State General Funds (New)," $1,793,350 is specifically appropriated for the purpose of financing projects and facilities for the Department of Public Safety, by means of the acquisition, construction, development, extension, enlargement, or improvement of land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment or facilities, both real and personal, necessary or useful in connection therewith, through the issuance of not more than $20,150,000 in principal amount of General Obligation Debt, the instruments of which shall have maturities not in excess of two hundred and forty months."

The purpose for the funds was to develop and implement voice and data radio systems for Troops "C" and "H" of the State Patrol. However, the State of Georgia, through the Georgia Technology Authority, is launching an initiative to outsource the development and management of a communications network that will connect the entire state of Georgia. Referred to as the Converged Communications Outsourcing Project, this initiative will represent one of the largest procurements for information and communications technology in the state's history. It is anticipated that the scope of the initiative may include voice, data, video, two-way radio, cellular/wireless technologies, and support services including asset management. The Request for Proposal is expected to be issued during the third calendar quarter of 2001 with an expected award date of first quarter 2002. Addressing the Department of Public Safety's communication needs will be a major part of this project. The expenditure of these funds prior to this RFP effort is unnecessary, the Governor stated.

HB 175, the FY 2002 General Appropriation, included $15,448,100 in direct funding to DOAS. This bill reduced the funding for the Department of Human Resources from $5,813,400 to $5,620,100. The funds are otherwise reported in the same manner in this publication. Additionally, the Department of Labor was funded $100,000.
