REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS AND APPROPRIATION TRANSFERS BY EXECUTIVE ORDER

Governor Perdue adjusted the Appropriations from the

original FY 2009 Appropriations Act through revised

revenue estimates and transferred funds to other

agencies through Executive Orders.

These

adjustments will explain differences in the original FY

2009 appropriations and what is reflected in this

publication. The adjustments included:

Revenue Adjustments

Revenue Estimate
The Governor reduced the revenue estimate by $2,536,525,931 from $21,165,882,516 to $18,629,356,585 or 12% for FY 2009 based on new economic forecasts since the initial budget was enacted into law. For FY 2010, the Governor's revenue estimate declined by $2,596,208,970 or 12.27% from original FY 2009.

Transfers by Executive Order
Georgia Aviation Authority
SB 85 passed by the General Assembly during the 2009 Legislative Session created the Georgia Aviation Authority and attached it to the Department of Administrative Services. The creation of this authority consolidated the various aviation programs and responsibilities. To comply with the Governor's Executive Order on HB 85, the following transfer of funds were made to the authority:
Department of Transportation transferred $657,795 in other funds and $1,695,877 of proceeds from the sale of two aircrafts, 25 positions, 2 motor vehicles, 7 aircrafts and associated equipment.

Department of Natural Resources transferred $828,600 in state general funds, $100,000 in other funds, 4 positions, 2 motor vehicle, 4 aircrafts and associated equipment.
Department of Public Safety transferred $1,269,277 in state general funds, 6 positions, 19 aircrafts and associated equipment.
Georgia Forestry Commission transferred $1,607,432 in state general funds, 24 positions, 3 motor vehicles, 24 aircrafts and associated equipment.
General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund
During the 2009 Regular Session, the General Assembly passed H.B. 228, restructuring the Department of Human Resources; renaming the Department of Human Resources to the Department of Human Services; and creating the new Department of
Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Six
General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund appropriations were authorized to the Department of Human Resources and transferred by Executive Orders to the Department of Behavioral Health and Development Disabilities. These appropriations are reflected in the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund section of this publication.

$3,469,576 from the Governor's Emergency Fund was transferred to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to cover expenses associated with these disasters.

VETOES BY THE GOVERNOR
HB 119 FOR FY 2010

Line-Item Vetoes by the Governor
Section 33, pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources, page 222, line 507.1 and 507.100:
The General Assembly appropriated $25,000 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 inconsistent with the mission of the program. Therefore, I veto this appropriation.
Section 50, pertaining to State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 316, line 397.261 BOND:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $22,700 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Herty Foundation, specifically for the Herty Advanced Materials Development Center to design and construct a covered biofuels testing facility through the issuance of $250,000 in 20-year bonds. The State of Georgia issued $2,000,000 in bonds for the Herty Foundation to fund renovations and equipment of which remains a balance of $900,000. Of this balance, $250,000 can be redirected to fund the design and construction of the testing facility. The need for this appropriation, therefore, is not evident at this time. Therefore, I veto this language (page 316, line 397.261) in the provisions relative to Section 50 State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $22,700.
Section 50, pertaining to State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 320, line 397.605 BOND:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $145,280 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the University System of Georgia, Board of Regents, specifically to acquire and renovate strategic property for Darton College in Albany, Dougherty County through the issuance of $1,600,000 in 20-year bonds. The Albany Museum of Art is housed on this property. Due to current economic conditions, the museum will remain at this location, which will delay sale of the property to Darton College. Therefore, I veto this language (page 317, line 397.605) in the provisions relative to Section 50 State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $145,280.
Intent Language Considered Non-binding
Section 15, pertaining to the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, page 44-45, line 174.98:
The General Assembly seeks to instruct the department as to the operation of the Adult Developmental Disabilities program. This language dictates a matter controlled by general law and is therefore null and void.
Section 15, pertaining to the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, page 45, line 176.98:

The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $175,000 in OneGeorgia funds for the Communities of Opportunity grants. The use of OneGeorgia funds is directed through, and requires approval by the OneGeorgia Board and cannot be appropriated through the legislative process. The department should disregard language to fund Communities of Opportunity grants through the OneGeorgia Authority.
Section 16, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, page 62, line 57.10:
The General Assembly instructs the Department of Community Affairs to transfer two rural economic development positions to the OneGeorgia Authority.

The department is authorized to utilize these funds to identify the highest-need projects on a state-wide basis in accordance with the purpose of the Tourism program and the general law powers of the Department.

Note: The revenue numbers from fiscal years 1980 - 2008 are reported numbers. The revenue numbers for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010 are estimated. In prior years, the Mid-Year Adjustment Reserve is reflected as a portion of actual collections of taxes and fees.

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. Current law provides that the reserve cannot exceed 10% of the previous year's net revenue. For each fiscal year, the General Assembly may appropriate an amount equal to 1% of the net revenue collections of the preceding fiscal year for funding increased K12 needs. In addition, the Governor has the authority to release funds from the reserve in excess of 4% of the net revenue of the preceding fiscal year. The chart for FY 2008 includes agency surplus collected after June 30, 2008 and does not include 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 $85,364,086 on June 30, 2008.

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, 2008 totaled $235,444,428.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2008 total as follows: Shortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount TOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES
