Introduction

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
AMENDED FY 2006 AND FY 2007

TAX CREDITS/CUTS
The Child Care Tax Credit provides a tax credit for childcare expenses for eligible taxpayers beginning in 2007. This is an estimated savings to taxpayers of $11,800,000 in the first year.
The Georgia State estate (death) tax will be fully eliminated in 2006 based on the Governor's decision to allow the tax to sunset in conjunction with federal tax law changes. Georgians will save over $120,000,000 annually because of the final elimination of this tax.
The Conservation Tax Credit allows for an income tax credit for the donation of conservation easements of land, which meet the goals of the Governor's Georgia Land Conservation Act. The allowable credit is 25% of the fair market value of the donated property up to a maximum of $250,000 per individual and $500,000 per corporation, an initial five-year tax savings of up to $36,000,000.
On December 16, 2005 the Governor signed an Executive Order cutting in half the sales tax on natural gas and liquid propane for residential heating. The sales tax on natural gas was reduced during the peak heating months of January through April 2006. Tax on liquid propane was reduced during the months of January to March 2006. This provided tax savings to consumers of $15,000,000 and prevents state government from reaping a revenue windfall due to the high cost of these fuels.
Providing Georgia consumers with relief from sharp motor fuel price increases in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Governor ordered a suspension of all state taxes on motor fuels for the month of September 2005. This suspension was approved by the General Assembly, meeting in Special Session beginning on September 6. This action saved Georgia drivers over $75,000,000.
Retirement income exempt from the state income tax was increased from $15,000 to $25,000 per taxpayer aged 62 and older effective January 1, 2006. This increase will save Georgia retirees $64,000,000 a year.
SALARY ENHANCEMENTS
Currently, Georgia is ranked 1st in the southeast for average teacher salaries. Governor Perdue continues to demonstrate his respect and appreciation for the hard work of teachers by providing a 4% pay raise for all teachers, which is in addition to the 3% pay raise that more than half the teachers will earn due to natural progression on the teacher salary schedule. Also, the faculty and staff at the University System and Department of Technical and Adult Education will receive a 4% salary improvement.
Law enforcement personnel in the Departments of Corrections, Public Safety, Juvenile Justice and Natural Resources, the State Board of Pardons and Parole, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation will receive up to a 7% salary increase.
The State's employees will receive a performance based increase of up to 4% dependent on their position in their pay grade scale.
To cover the increased cost in the State Employees Health Benefit Plan in FY 2007, State agencies' share of the premium will

be increased from 14.20% to 16.713%. Employees will not experience an increase in premiums for the year.
EXPENDITURES
EDUCATED GEORGIA
An educated Georgia is Governor Perdue's vision for the State and this budget demonstrates his commitment to fulfilling that vision. From Pre-K to higher education, Governor Perdue is providing students, teachers, principals and faculty along with local school systems, colleges and universities with the resources they need to ensure that Georgia's students are well prepared for the future.
Governor Perdue is continuing his commitment to education by fully funding enrollment growth in Pre-K, K-12, colleges and universities. In addition to recommending enrollment growth funding, the Governor is providing funding to lower class sizes in grades K-8. Reducing class size results in a more manageable classroom for teachers and creates a better learning environment for students. This budget is also fully funding K-12 capital requests to build and renovate schools and classrooms as well as capital outlay funding for colleges and universities.
The Governor is committed to supporting teachers by investing additional resources in the classroom and ensuring that all students have an equal chance for academic success.

REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE
The 1976 Session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve (RSR) 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.
HB 509 passed during the 2005 Session of the General Assembly requires that all state general funds surplus existing at the end of each
fiscal year be reserved and added to the RSR. Funds in the RSR are carried forward from fiscal year to fiscal year, without reverting to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. The General Assembly may appropriateout of the RSR up to 1% of prior year revenues to fund K-12 needs in the amended budget. The Governor may release for appropriations an amount of funds from the RSR that are in excess of 4% of the net revenues of the preceding fiscal year. The RSR must not exceed 10% of the previous fiscal years net revenue for any given fiscal year.

The status of the reserve, as of the end of the fiscal year, for the last 11 years is presented below.

LOTTERY RESERVES
Georgia's lottery law require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections. The Shortfall Reserve
Subaccount is an amount to be set aside each year equal to 10% of the prior year's total lottery proceeds.
The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a second reserve account within the Lottery for Education
Account be established called the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount. The law requires that a reserve equal to 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year be maintained. The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2005 total as follows:

Shortfall Reserve Subaccount (June 30, 2005) Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount (June 30, 2005)
