This budget demonstrates the state's dedication to education by funding enrollment growth in all levels of education: Pre-K, K-12, and higher education. In addition, funds have been included to expand the graduation coach program from high school to middle school as part of the concerted state effort to reduce the number of high school dropouts.

measure is often used as a standard by which state child welfare systems are compared. The current national standard as defined by the Administration for Children and Families is less than or equal to 6.1 percent. Georgia has succeeded in reducing this level over the past three years to 5.7 percent, 0.4 points below the national standard.

HEALTHY GEORGIA
Health care costs have become a growing component of state government spending. This budget allocates resources to preserve the security of health care coverage through the Medicaid and PeachCare programs. It is based on continuing efforts by the state in cost containment in both areas. These changes, which have saved over $4.2 billion over five years, have allowed Georgia to continue adequate levels of health care services for Georgia's most needy population.
Also included is a funding increase in the State Health Benefit Plan, which provides health insurance coverage to active and retired teachers, state employees, and their dependents.
Changes in accounting standards require the state to report the actuarial liability for retiree health insurance benefits. This budget makes a large commitment toward this liability by placing $100 million in a separate account to fund Other Post Employee Benefits (OPEB) for retiree healthcare for state employees.
Governor Perdue has continued to care for the most vulnerable members of our society by funding additional slots for the Mental Retardation Waiver Program, as well as, additional positions for the Community Care Service Program, which allows elderly clients to continue to live at home.
Georgia ranks 1st in the Southeast and 3rd nationally in vaccination coverage for children. The state's appropriation of funds to ensure that all children receive vaccines has increased Georgia's vaccination rate. Without this level of commitment there would be significant barriers to vaccination for Georgia's uninsured children.
Concerted efforts in the past four years have succeeded in reducing the recurrence of substantiated child maltreatment in the state. This

COMMUNITY HEALTH
Amended FY 2007 $15,500,000 to provide for federal Disproportionate Share Hospital funds for private hospitals providing access to Georgia's uninsured citizens.

$750,000 to complete the implementation of a statewide Electronic Medical Records system for Georgia's Federally Qualified Community Health Centers.

$1,500,000 in tobacco settlement funds to establish a rural primary care access initiative.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Georgia has seen a rapid decrease in adult-only Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) clients. This decline results from dedicated efforts to increase employability through a variety of work assistance activities and a strong commitment to bridging the gap between initial employment and long-term career development. During FY 2006

GROWING GEORGIA
Georgia continues to be one of the fasting growing states in the nation with an increase of 2.5 percent between July 2005 and July 2006, the fastest growth in the South. Meeting the demands of an ever increasing population requires major investment in infrastructure maintenance and development. This budget provides a continued investment in transportation to improve highways around our rapidly growing cities and to spur

economic development around the state. Support for local road construction remains at record levels.
Growth demands that we continue to protect our environment and expand access to natural areas throughout the state. This budget funds additional positions at state parks and wildlife management areas to improve operating hours and customer service. There is also an investment of $19 million to develop the "Go Fish Georgia," a major initiative of the Governor's to improve boating and fishing tourism in the state.
TRANSPORTATION
FY 2008 $6,575,000 in bonds to raise dikes and consolidate dredge disposal areas in the Savannah harbor, making room for additional dredge material so that container ships can continue to navigate the harbor.

The funding is a 35 percent state cost share with the Army Corps of Engineers.
$70,000,000 in motor-fuel funded bonds for the Governor's Fast Forward program. Through the acceleration of existing projects, the program promotes short and long-term congestion relief, spurs economic development, adds capacity to Georgia's highways and includes critically needed improvements to make the existing highway network operate more efficiently.
$107,787,879 in total motor fuel funds for local roads (Local Assistance Road Program, State Fund Construction Off System, and State Fund Construction Most Needed). This is the 3rd highest level of funding since FY 1999.

ensuring safe and properly labeled consumer products.
SAFE GEORGIA
Ensuring the public's safety remains a high priority of this administration. Strong enforcement of the law requires the continued expansion of prison beds to deal with the increased number of criminals sent to prison. This budget continues to provide for increased bed-space and operating costs in the correctional system both for adults and for juvenile offenders. It also increases funding to provide rehabilitative services to youthful offenders and substance abuse treatment for parolees.
Building on last year's budget, additional funds are provided to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) to deal with methamphetamine related crimes, including an additional 15 agents for the state's year old Meth-Force.

VETOES BY THE GOVERNOR

HB 94 FOR AMENDED FY 2007
Section 40.3 pertaining to Homeowner Tax Relief Grants (HTRG), page 93, Lines 2854 through 2856 and 2859 through 2860:
This language increases the amount of the homeowners' tax relief grant to counties (HTRG) from $432,290,501 as appropriated in the HB 1027 approved May 8, 2006, to $567,703,126. Due to reduced revenue collections for the later half of FY 2007, less surplus funds will go into the state revenue shortfall reserve than had previously been anticipated. Vetoing this increase in the HTRG will have the effect of preserving additional funds for the

state revenue shortfall reserve. Additionally, amending the appropriation for HTRG via the midyear budget presents significant constitutional and administrative hurdles, hampering the ability to effectively and efficiently deliver this form of tax relief to the intended beneficiaries. Without this increase, the original HTRG appropriation for FY 2007, properly appropriated, still returns $432,290,501 to the homeowners of Georgia this year. Therefore, due in part to reduce state revenue collections and the need to build the state's revenue shortfall reserve, this language is vetoed.

HB 95 FOR FY 2008
Section 16, Department of Community Affairs, page 43, items 60.2 and 60.3:
The General Assembly appropriates funds for specific projects through the Department of Community Affairs' Local Assistance Grants. Such grants are intended to be small but meaningful grants to local communities for certain projects. Such grants are not the appropriate method to include large grants to local communities. As the identified grants are significantly larger than the numerous other small but meaningful grants, these are vetoed.
Section 21, Department of Early Care and Learning, page 90, line 106.7 and part of line 106:
The General Assembly appropriated $900,000 in state general funds to the Pre-Kindergarten program in order to provide funds to the Ferst Foundation for distribution of one book per month to children ages 0 to 5 years in participating counties. While reading to children is important, due to the failure to provide sufficient funding available to implement the program on a statewide basis and no consideration of need, the state general funds of $900,000 in the Pre-Kindergarten program is vetoed.
Section 22, Department of Economic Development, page 95, lines 116, 116.1, 116.2, and 116.99:

The General Assembly appropriated $633,685 state general funds for the purpose of providing operating funds for the Golf Hall of Fame. The Conference Committee agreed to provide $500,000 for operations and $75,000 for a feasibility study for a private/public partnership. These funds are in addition to $58,685 currently provided for operating support. The amount appropriated represents an increase of over 980% and seems excessive given other needs in the state budget. Therefore, this program and the associated appropriation are vetoed.
Section 34, Department of Natural Resources, page 192, lines 274 and 274.2:
The General Assembly appropriated $250,000 in state general funds for the Georgia State Games Commission. State funding for this program is not justified, as the intention of this funding is not consistent with the mission of the program. Therefore, this appropriation is vetoed.
Section 46, Department of Transportation, page 251, line 381.10 and part of line 381:
The General Assembly appropriated $5,000,000 in state general funds for Local Road Assistance, specifically for the LARP program. Under my administration, LARP has been funded at record levels. In Fiscal Year 2006 funding for LARP

Governor's Office of Planning and Budget

increased by 58% over funding in Fiscal Year 2005. Even without the $5,000,000 in state general funds, LARP will be funded at the second highest annual appropriation since 1990 ($60,000,000 in motor fuel funds). The utilization of state general funds for LARP contradicts current policy. Therefore, the appropriation of state general funds of $5,000,000 is vetoed.
Section 49, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 262, line 397.108:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $387,600 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Department of Public Safety specifically for the repair of the burn building and to build a new apparatus for students at the Georgia Fire Academy through the issuance of $1,700,000 in 5-year bonds. In consideration of other priority items as expressed by the General Assembly and limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan, this project is not warranted. Therefore, this language in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $387,600 is vetoed.
Section 49, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 263, line 397.206:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $427,150 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission specifically for the purchase of land to develop a research park in Oconee County through the issuance of $5,000,000 in 20-year bonds. Financing for this project should not be considered until a decision has been made regarding the viability of a research park and suitability of this location for economic development. Due to limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan and the reasons stated above, this language in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $427,150 is vetoed.
Section 49, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 263, line 397.207:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $599,291 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Department of Transportation, specifically for rail lines for Lyerly to Rossville, Midville to Vidalia, and Waycross through the issuance of $7,015,000 in 20-year bonds. Financing

Budget In Brief / AFY07--FY08
for these rail projects should not be considered until processes for project selection have been reviewed and adequate justification is made for continued state investment. Due to limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan and the reasons stated above, in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $599,291 is vetoed.
Section 49, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 263, line 397.208:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $3,417,200 in motor fuel funds for debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Department of Transportation, specifically for the Buckhead, Midtown, and Atlanta Downtown Community Improvement Districts Peachtree Corridor through the issuance of $40,000,000 in 20-year bonds. In order to issue bonds on a project, the state must have the property rights to the road. The projects identified are not on state routes and therefore cannot be funded using this method. In addition, motor fuel funds may only be used on road and bridge projects. In order to insure that congestion relief is paramount, the recommendations of the Governor's Congestion Mitigation Task Force must be taken into account as projects are prioritized. Currently, the projects identified are not part of the State Transportation Improvement Program, and funding such projects contradicts current policy by earmarking projects that are not part of the state plan. Therefore, due to limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan and the reasons stated above, this language in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state motor fuel funds of $3,417,200 is vetoed.
Section 49, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 263, line 397.209:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $170,860 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Department of Transportation, specifically for the construction of a welcome center for Tallulah Falls on the Rabun County side through the issuance of $2,000,000 in 20-year bonds. In consideration of other priority items as expressed by the General Assembly and limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan, this language (page 263, line 397.209) in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $170,860 is vetoed.

Section 49, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 264, line 397.305:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $683,440 in debt service to finance educational facilities for county and independent school systems through the State Board of Education specifically for the design and construction of a charter school to be operated by the Cobb County School System. Historically, funding for a start-up charter school is not included in general obligation debt, and its inclusion here sets a costly precedent. Funding is available for operating and facility grants on a competitive basis for start-up charter schools through the Department of Education. Therefore, due to limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan and the reasons stated above, this language (page 264, line 397.305) in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $683,440 is vetoed.
Section 49, General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 267, line 397.515:

This project is not included on the Fiscal Year 2008 capital budget priority list of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.

Section 49, General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 267, line 397.516:

This project is not included on the Fiscal Year 2008 top ten of minor

REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE
The maximum amount of the Revenue Shortfall Reserve is calculated based on amounts remitted by State organizations to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services during the fiscal year (Net Revenue Collections).
The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-12-93(a), as amended, provides that "the amount of all surplus in state funds existing as of the end of each fiscal year shall be reserved and added to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve. Funds in the Revenue Shortfall Reserve shall carry forward from fiscal year to fiscal year, without reverting to the general fund at the end of a fiscal year".
Up to 1 percent of the preceding fiscal year's net revenue collections may be appropriated from the reserve for funding increased K-12 needs and the Governor may release reserve funds in excess of 4 percent of net revenue collections for appropriation. The reserve cannot exceed 10 percent of the previous fiscal year's net revenue for any given fiscal year. On June 30, 2006, the reserved fund balance for the Revenue Shortfall Reserve was $965,877,891.87 or 5.5% of net revenue collections, comprised of $912,788,624.75 in the General Fund and $53,089,267.12 in the Budget Fund. Of the total Revenue Shortfall Reserve, $173,387,595.88 is available for funding increased K-12 needs.The chart for FY 2006 includes agency surplus collected after June 30, 2006 and does not include any funds used for mid-year K-12 adjustment.

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 prior year's total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account. 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 Shortfall Reserve (10% reserve) each year and totaled $80,208,300 on June 30, 2006.

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 scholarship reserve law requires a reserve equal to 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year be maintained. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2006 totaled $223,220,798.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2006 total as follows: Shortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount
