REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE
The 1976 session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve in lieu of the Working Reserve. This reserve acts 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 an amount equal to not less than 3% nor more than 5% of net revenue collections (excludes Lottery Funds, Indigent Care Trust Funds and Tobacco Settlement Funds) as directed by the Governor as of the end of the fiscal year. Additional surplus above the reserve is available for appropriation. The status of the reserve, as of the end of the fiscal year, for the last 12 years is presented below.

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 $68,382,700 on June 30, 2001.

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, 2001 totaled $110,084,877.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2001 total as follows:

However, the planning programs are multiyear projects with previously identified research projects and objectives. Current funding levels are sufficient to accomplish the water planning programs' goals. Therefore, no shortfalls exist, and additional funding is not necessary. HB 1001 also includes an $11,400 reduction to the commission's contracts object class for a net change of $138,600. Therefore, the amended Contracts line of $1,663,600 is vetoed, the amendment is ineffectual, and the Contracts line item shall remain the original appropriation of $1,525,000 as in HB 175, the Governor stated.
Section 41 (page 40, lines 1732 through 1734), 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 42 (page 40, lines 1745 through 1748), 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 appropriations 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 42, (page 94, lines 3882 through 3884), pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs This language authorizes the Department to provide a total of a total of $74,100 in special support for the Southeast Georgia Regional Development Center from the Contracts for Regional Planning and Development object class. The Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees transferred state funds appropriated for this purpose in HB 175 from Contracts for Regional Planning and Development to the Contracts object class to properly classify funding for a contract with the Southeast Georgia Regional Development Center for the delivery of assistance and services to cities and counties within the center's service area. Due to that transfer, this language is no longer necessary, he stated.
Section 51 (page 97, lines 3990 through 3994), pertaining to the Department of Trans portation 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 51 (page 98, lines 4011 through 4012), pertaining to the Department of Transportation This language authorizes the Department to utilize available funds for the purpose of installing call boxes on rural interstate highways. Interstate highway projects are prioritized by need and identified funding sources. At this time there is no identified funding source for call boxes on rural interstate highways, as no funds have been appropriated for this purpose. Therefore, this language is vetoed, he stated.
Section 60 (page 100, lines 4103 through 4107), 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.

EDITOR'S NOTES
Section 61 (page 108, lines 4374 through 4379), pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund Vetoed language that reads: "From the appropriation designated "State General Funds (New)", $386,400 is specifically appropriated for the purpose of providing public library facilities for county and independent school systems, counties, municipalities, and boards of trustees of public libraries or board of trustees of public library systems through the Board of Regents of the University System of Georg ia, through the issuance of not more than $$4,600,000 in principal amount of General Obligation Debt, the instruments of which shall have maturities not in excess of two hundred and forty months. "
This language authorizes bonds for construction of local public libraries. The General Assembly's comparative summary identifies four libraries for construction. The libraries added by the General Assembly included two libraries (Telfair County and Wheeler County) that were not on any priority list provided in the Board of Regents request. Also, documentation has not been received to verify that these two counties own the land, have raised the required local funds and are ready to build. Two libraries are on the Regents priority list with Berrien County being first priority, but Clayton County being fifth priority. This bond appropriation would violate the priority system established by the Board of Regents through its Office of Public Library Services and may undermine the priority setting process in the future. The veto of this bond appropriation does not indicate that funding for local libraries will no longer be considered. When our economy improves and several years of continuous funding for libraries can be assured, the Governor stated he would consider bond funding for local libraries provided it is based on the Regents priority ranking system and that all projects meet the appropriate criteria. The two key criteria are certification that the government county owns the land and has the required local match in place. All libraries in this proposed bond appropriation are not on the Regents priority ranking system and do not meet the requisite criteria.

Item 12 on page 33 of the Comparative Summary of HB 1001, pertaining to the Department of Human Resources This item contains language authorizing the Department to provide $300,000 in tobacco settlement funds to the Georgia Institute for Lung Cancer Research.
Tobacco settle ment funds are being appropriated to the Department of Human Resources as part of the state's efforts to eradicate cancer. One part of this effort is to support the best research and treatment practices available across the state and around the nation to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality rates in Georgia. In order to ensure the state has available to it the most promising research available, researchers should have a fair opportunity to apply for grants on a competitive basis rather than have funds designated to specific entities. Therefore, the Office of Planning and Budget is directed to not allot the funds for this purpose and instead should direct the Department of Human Resources to make the funds available to researchers through the use of challenge grants awarded through a competitive process.
Item 4.e. on page 68 of the Comparative Summary of HB 1001, pertaining to General Obligation Bonds for the Board of Regents and the Georgia Military College This item contains language directing the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) not to release funds ($13,430,000) for an academic building at Georgia Military College (GMC) until GMC becomes administratively attached to the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE).
This language in the comparative summary is in conflict with the language included in Section 61, lines 4129 through 4135, of HB 1001, which appropriates funds for projects for the Board of Regents. The law (Code Section 20-3-561) says that GMC "shall receive any designated funds appropriated by the General Assembly through the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia or the Department of Technical and Adult Education," but HB 1001 appropriates funds for the Board of Regents. The curriculum and the students of GMC are more in line with the two-year colleges of Regents than the two-year technical colleges of DTAE. The state connection to GMC through the Board of Regents has served us well over the years and a substantial finding to the contrary should be the only reason to change that connection. Until the law is changed to attach GMC to DTAE for administrative purposes, any state funds made available to GMC should continue to

flow through the Board of Regents. Therefore, the Governor directs the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission and the Board of Regents to ignore the language attached to item 4.e. on page 68 of the Comparative Summary of HB 1001. GSFIC should issue bonds for GMC through the Board of Regents in the bond sale that includes the GMC project.
Section 61 pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 108, lines 4394 through 4400 This language appropriates a principal amount of $500,000 in General Obligation Debt to finance a facility for the Department of Human Resources. According to Item 58 on page 76 of the Comparative Summary of HB 1001, these funds are earmarked to design a public health laboratory to replace the existing lab in Waycross. Design funds were initially made available in the Amended FY 2001 budget for a replacement lab in Waycross despite my recommendation that the replacement lab for South Georgia be built in Tifton, which is more centrally located and accessible. Based on predesign activities, the Department of Human Resources requested funds in the FY 2003 budget to construct a new lab in Waycross.
The Governor did not recommend any design or construction funds for the lab in his FY 2003 budget recommendations to the General Assembly since the mo st suitable location for a new lab for South Georgia is in question. Therefore, the Governor directs the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission that bonds for this project as stated in lines 4394 to 4400, page 108 in the Provisions Relative to Section 39, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund not be sold unless and until land is identified and acquired that is suitable to the state.
Section 61, pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 108, lines 44014407 $690,000 in General Obligation Debt is appropriated to DTAE for predesign of a classroom building at DeKalb Technical College. Since the predesign of this facility has been completed, it is assumed that these funds would be used for final design and engineering in preparation of putting the project out to bid. The predesign shows that this project is to be built on the site of an existing parking lot and requires the acquisition of non-state owned land contiguous to the DeKalb Technical College campus. Since no funds have been appropriated or identified to acquire the additional land needed for this construction project, completing the design work is premature at this time. Therefore, the Governor directs the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to not sell bonds for this $690,000 DTAE project until such time as funds are appropriated for the necessary land acquisition.
Vetoes HB 1002 FY 2003 General Appropriations Act
Section 41 (page 40, lines 1727 through 1729), 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.

This special contract was established in the agency by the Fiscal Affairs subcommittee in June of 2001 and therefore this language is unnecessary, the Governor stated.

EDITOR'S NOTES
Section 51 (pages 88 through 89, lines 3596 through 3604), pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources Since FY 2000, state funds appropriated to the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources has been used to match federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to provide mass transit subsidies for state employees. The use of state funds for subsidies to individuals has required special authorizing language in each appropriations bill since the initiation of this program. Beginning in FY 2003, the Georgia Building Authority will continue the state employee mass transit subsidy program with non-state funds and this language will no longer be necessary, he stated.
Section 55 (page 90, lines 3643 through 3647), 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 55 (page 90, lines 3652 through 3654), pertaining to the Department of Transportation Vetoed language that authorized the Department to use available funding for right-of-way acquisition for a multilane road to connect the Atlanta Motor Speedway to Interstate 75 via State Road 20 and State Road 3. This project was funded in FY 2001. In addition, as a state route, this project is eligible for motor fuel funds and special language is not necessary, the Governor stated.
Section 64 (page 93, lines 3745 through 3749), 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, he stated.
Expenditure Controls HB 1002 FY 2003 General Appropriations Act
The Governor issued the following instructions in regard to the FY 2003 budget as passed by the General Assembly in HB 1002:
a.) In regard to Medicaid reimbursements for nursing services, effective July 1, 2002, the inflation factor applied to 2001 cost reports for the first two quarters of FY 2003 shall be two times the inflation factor published in October 2001 for the 2003 second quarter moving average for nursing homes.
b.) For Section 65, pages 93 and 94, lines 3765 through 3772, pertaining to Salary Adjustments, the General Assembly provided for a 3.25% funding level for merit increases for Regents "faculty", but specified that for Regents nonacademic personnel the actual dollar amount of the increase was "not to exceed an individual, annualized amount of $2,600." Similar language was applied to public librarians funded through the Regents budget.
This language creates significant problems related to the definition of who are faculty and who are non-academic personnel since many college administrators (as well as non-academic personnel in university public service organizations) also teach classes or conduct research and are considered part of the faculty.
This language also confuses the situation with regard to how pay raises for Regents are handled. For K-12 teachers and state employees, the percentage raise (3.25% or 2.25%) is what everyone receives if they meet minimal standards of performance. The pay rais e percentage indicated in the appropriations bill for Regents (3.25% this year) is not what everyone in the University system receives and never has been. The percentage is the basis for the state providing funding to Regents to give raises based on their personnel/merit system. For years Regents has provided raises to faculty and non-faculty that ranges from 0% to 10% utilizing their own personnel evaluation and pay system. Therefore, I trust that the Board of Regents will use its best judgment implementing the funds provided for pay raises within the context and directives of its current personnel evaluation and pay system, bearing in mind the current economic condition in Georgia in so doing.

c.) Because of the uncertainty, and timing of our economy , I direct that each department, agency or authority shall withhold the expenditure of the appropriations under this act in the amount of of 1% per quarter. OPB shall review the said withheld funds and may allow their release of said funds or the continued withholding. Each department, agency or authority involved in education shall identify its said withheld funds without reduction for direct instruction of students in any of the various education institutions of the State.
