TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
It is my pleasure to present this FY 2002 Budget Recommendation for the continued improvement of services to the citizens of our state. This budget reflects the continuation of initiatives implemented last year and enhancements that our continued economic growth allows to be funded. We are indeed in a very fortunate position.
While we have continued to experience rapid growth and an expanding economy, we must target our resources in all areas of state government to those citizens in the greatest need. From the students in our public schools that must improve their overall academic achievement, to the child or family who does not have health insurance coverage, to the rural areas that are clamoring for economic revitalization, we must direct our resources to obtain the maximum impact. I believe that this budget brings us closer to that goal and to a brighter future for Georgia.
As a normal precaution, I have established a conservative revenue estimate of $14,433,000,000 for FY 2002.
First, to fulfill my promise, I am including $249 million for property tax relief for the citizens of Georgia.
Second, education reform must continue to be at the forefront of our investments for Georgia's future. This budget proposes the continuation of implementation of initiatives created in the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 and additional proposals made by the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission (GERSC) in their second year of work. I am recommending $18.9 million to establish an Early Intervention Program (EIP) for students below grade level in grades 4-5. I am recommending $7 million to provide additional funds for statewide reading programs combined with $27.8 million for existing programs and allow the local systems to choose the reading programs they desire. Also, I am adding $7 million to increase funding for school improvement teams bringing the total number of teams to 20 that will be available to assist local schools that need assistance. I am recommending $3.5 million to provide funds to pilot voluntary extended day middle schools. And to assist kindergarten teachers in starting our young students on a strong academic path, I am recommending $68.5 million to fund paraprofessionals in kindergarten at a ratio of 1 paraprofessional to 18 pupils. I am also including $31.9 million to provide funds for equalization grants with local systems limited to 40% of the gain or loss from the prior year.
In recognizing the importance of improving our teaching workforce and attracting and retaining great teachers, I am recommending $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. I am also requesting $200,000 for planning and implementing an Education Leadership Training Institute and another $200,000 to develop a plan to market teaching in Georgia. I am recommending $1.79 million for additional Promise Scholarships due to higher demand as a result of lowering the GPA requirement from 3.6 to 3.2. And also, almost $1 million is being requested for additional Promise II Scholarships to assist an estimated 350 teacher's aides/paraprofessionals in becoming certified teachers.

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 recommending the creation of the Georgia Cancer Coalition and providing $21.9 million to fund a variety of initiatives in cancer detection, research and treatment.
We must also target state services to the children and families of the state who are most in need. I am recommending $3 million to provide Medicaid coverage for children in families with incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty level. Also, another $1.3 million will provide PeachCare for Kids eligibility the first day of the month of initial eligibility. There is $2.5 million for Babies Born Healthy to increase services to women who are poor, but ineligible for Medicaid. I am also adding $4.3 million in additional funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. I am requesting $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. I am recommending $5.2 million 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. I have included also $1.4 million to fully fund the cost of Family Connection implementation grants. And to support the administration of Medicaid services I am transferring $88.4 million from the Department of Community Health to the Department of Human Resources. I am also recommending $11.2 million to reduce the Mental Retardation waiting list.
Our economy remains strong and continues to grow. To enhance this growth and target the areas of the state most in need, I am recommending $2.8 million in increased state general funds for the Regional Economic Business Assistance grant program for an annual appropriation of $5 million. These funds are added to the OneGeorgia Authority where an additional $10 million is provided from Tobacco Settlement Funds. To keep our business incubation efforts strong, I am also recommending $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, I am recommending $1.4 million to continue planning, engineering and program assistance for implementation of the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority's programs that will support $1.4 million that was provided in the FY 2001 Amended Budget for this purpose. And, I am recommending that we authorize the use of $31 million in motor fuel funds as debt service payments for revenue obligations of the State Tollway Authority to support a comprehensive transportation package.
Georgia's natural resources are one of our greatest assets. However, with our expanding growth these assets are coming under increasing stress and we must focus on the areas that have the greatest needs. I am recommending again this year $30 million to support communities in preserving 20% of their land as green space that will not be developed. To address our environmental regulatory issues, I am recommending an increase in the staffing of 70 positions for the Environmental Protection Division with $3.9 million.
All Georgians deserve safe and secure communities and roads, and this budget increases prison programs and facilities and the staff of our State Patrol. I am including operating and startup funds of $34.5 million for additional diversion, transition, probation center and prison beds. I am also recommending $4.8 million to increase our sworn count of state patrol officers by 75 positions.
In technology, I am recommending $3 million in state funds and authorization for the Georgia Technology Authority to use $5 million in agency funds to complete Phase 1 of 3 empowerment projects.
We have great challenges before us and I am excited about all of these initiatives and proposed improvements for Georgia. As always, I am looking forward to working with you during this legislative session as we craft the future of Georgia.
Sincerely,

REB

Roy E. Barnes Governor

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

The following major initiatives presented here and detailed in this budget are related to the Governor's Education Reform Study Committee, Tobacco Settlement Funds, the Georgia Business Plan for the Uninsured, Children's Protective Services, Revenue Maximization, Intergovernmental Transfers, and the Governor's Blue Ribbon Task Force.

Education Reform

The Governor's Education Reform Study Commission (GERSC) began its second year of deliberation June 12, 2000. The commission worked diligently during the summer and fall of 2000 to study issues not fully addressed in the first year or by House Bill 1187 (The A+ Education Reform Act of 2000). Governor Barnes reconstituted the Commission into 4 new committees: Educational Facilities, Educational Programs , Educational Personnel, and Roles and Responsibilities.
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES One of the major impacts of HB 1187 is the need for
additional classrooms due to the reduction in the teacher pupil ratios at all grade levels. More than 6,000 additional classrooms may be needed to meet the smaller class size requirements. In addition to the impact of lower teacherpupil ratios on facilities, net growth in student population in the state continues to drive the on-going need for additional facilities. Because of the urgent need for facilities, the GERSC Educational Facilities committee looked at ways to construct schools better, faster and for less expense.
The committee found that Georgia has one of the lowest costs of school construction in the nation. However, many systems do not have an adequate tax base or wealth to provide matching funds to state dollars as required. The committee reviewed alternatives to help local systems with school construction including increasing the state funding per square foot as well as raising the $100,000,000 entitlement cap on capital outlay.
The committee also found that the current process of each local system developing a 5-year facilities plan to be effective. To qualify for state capital outlay funds, a local system is required to prepare a 5-year local facilities plan. The plan addresses the system's facility needs due to changes in population or programs. Based on the estimated student population projected forward 5 years, the local system determines the number of new schools, additions, renovations, and modifications needed as well as redistricting or closing schools if the population is decreasing. In reviewing the planning process, the committee found that the current program has no financial incentive for school systems to choose non-construction

alternatives such as leasing or alternative calendars like year around school.
Management of construction and expertise varies across the state. School systems that do not have an ongoing construction program may need more assistance in the design and management of construction of school facilities. The committee proposed the development of a best practices informational program in planning, design, and construction that will be easily accessible to all local systems and provides technical assistance to systems that construct schools infrequently. To further assist local systems and control costs, the Facilities Committee proposed that the state develop educational specifications for facilities and base state funding on prototypical designs.
Timely and accurate data is needed to make good management and funding decisions regarding school facilities and improve local accountability for state funds. The committee found that the current data systems do not provide sufficient information for good analysis. The committee reviewed studies that show that the condition of facilities impacts student performance and morale. Many facilities in the state are in disrepair. The committee found that a good maintenance program could correct problems before the problem deteriorates and requires an expensive major repair. Regardless of the materials or age of a facility, regular maintenance can reduce the need for costly renovations.
Governor Barnes recommends a special appropriation of $468,000,000 in the FY 2001 Amended Budget to help local school systems construct needed additional classrooms based on lowered pupil/teacher ratios. To improve facilities information systems, the Governor recommends $1,015,292 for a state computerized database to compile, monitor, and analyze all aspects of facilities planning, construction, and operations. Also related to facilities, the Governor recommends $7,132,668 be provided to increase Maintenance and Operations funds by $5 per FTE. Maintenance funds are intended for preventive and corrective maintenance.

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS The Educational Programs Committee revisited the
issues of students at risk and school failure. Georgia's dropout rate remains one of the highest in the nation. The committee found that about 20% of 9th grade students in Georgia do not go to the 10th grade the following year because they dropout or are retained. Additionally, student performance in math, science and reading still trails

national averages. For example, the most recent data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Grade 8 Mathematics test shows that 39% of the students in the nation are below the basic level. The percent of students in Georgia below basic is 49%. In science, 40% of students in the nation are below the basic level. In Georgia, 51% are below basic. Finally, the 1998 NAEP Grade 8 Reading Scores showed that nationally, 28% of students are below basic. The percent below basic in both the southeast and Georgia are the same at 32%.

critical early years of their public education. The Governor recommends $68,522,643 for paraprofessionals for kindergarten at a ratio of 1:18 pupils to assist kindergarten teachers. It is in kindergarten that teachers need the most help in dealing with students, since a number of students may never have had previous experience in a formal classroom setting. Local systems still have the ability to fund additional paraprofessionals using the 20% variance between formula funding size for classes and the maximum class size.
The Governor also recommends a net increase of $18,928,644 to change the Grades 4-5 remedial program to an EIP program. The funding is based on a class size for Grade 4-5 EIP of 1 teacher for every 11 students. An estimated 8% of students in Grades 4-5 are eligible to be part of the EIP program because they are below their grade level and will need additional assistance. This change will provide systems help in preparing students for the middle grades, which is where most school systems have their greatest educational challenge.

The emphasis of this committee was to focus resources on improving middle grade programs, expanding the Early Intervention Program (EIP) beyond the 3rd grade and strengthening school improvement teams for low performing schools as recommended by GERSC last year. The committee suggested that all students have a minimum of 5 hours of instruction in the academic core block each day. One alternative the committee suggested was to fund a small sample of demonstration schools (i.e., minimum of 5 schools) serving Grades 6-8 to implement an 8am-5pm school day. The Commission discussed various alternatives for extending the day including shifting from a 6 period day to a 7 period day. The Governor recommends $3,500,000 to fund grants to middle schools that want to try alternative programs that extend the day.
Last year the Governor funded the Early Intervention Program (EIP) in K-3 to provide additional assistance to students performing below grade level. The Governor recognizes that need for more attention to students in the

EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL The Educational Personnel Committee found that the
responsibilities of teachers have changed from covering material to student learning, however, teacher preparation programs have not yet implemented changes to meet these expectations. Additionally, the roles of the principal and superintendent have changed, with much greater responsibility for instructional leadership and for application of more current business practices. Preparation programs have not kept pace with the changing expectations for administrators either. Institutions that prepare teachers and administrators have focused on inputs (credit hours completed, number of hours of field experiences, etc.). These institutions have not yet been held accountable for the success of their graduates to increase student achievement. The committee concluded that professional development programs for teachers are inconsistent in their effectiveness. Approximately 75% of Georgia's teachers reported no professional development in

16

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

their content field. Neither teacher/administrator preparation programs nor professional development programs are focused sufficiently on the knowledge and skills educators need to increase student achievement or improve schools.

The committee suggested that partnering with universities and colleges is one alternative to strengthening student learning and on improving the preparation and development of teachers. Partnering is effective because it brings school and university resources together to strengthen student learning and teacher preparation. Partner schools also help college faculty continue their development in that they spend many more hours in the schools than in the past. The committee proposed expanding the Partner School Model between schools and universities to provide greater help to schools, mentor new teachers, increase P-12 school involvement in preparing new teachers, and increase the amount of time college faculty spend in a P-12 classroom.

The

Personnel

Committee

proposed

induction/mentoring programs for all new teachers and

administrators and experienced educators who are having

difficulty. The current mentoring program is a 1-year

voluntary program for teachers and there are a few

voluntary programs for administrators. The committee

found that mentoring programs reduce attrition of educators

and school leadership is a key to successful schools.

The committee suggested that the Professional Standards Commission (PSC) be given responsibility to set standards for both the preparation and development of education professionals.

Education reform and improving student achievement will rely heavily on improving leadership at all levels. However, if improving schools and student achievement are goals for success, then improving administrative leadership at the school level is a critical issue. The committee found that there is a growing shortage of qualified principals and superintendents at all grade levels and in all communities. Additionally, many people certified to be principals never actually apply for positions. The committee proposed the creation of a training center or institute for the preparation and development of school principals and superintendents and for leadership development of teachers. This would combine statewide resources for leadership and professional development. The Governor recommends $200,000 for an Education Leadership Training Institute for training principals, assistant principals, and superintendents.

The committee found that other states are beginning to recognize the need for creating advancement levels for classroom teachers based on: specific preparation, performance standards, evaluation trends, and requirements

of service within the school, across the district, and at the state level. The committee presented the concept of a career ladder for teachers and administrators. Possible career ladders were discussed including one version with four stages of (1) Beginning Teacher (induction period), (2) Teacher, (3) Mentor Teacher, and (4) Master Teacher. A similar version of this career track concept was discussed for principals and superintendents with three stages: (1) Beginning Principal (or Superintendent), (2) Principal (Superintendent), (3) Master Principal (Superintendent). The committee proposed that teacher promotions should be based upon explicit performance standards and assessments for each level, including evidence of accomplishment in promoting student learning.
The Governor recommends several programs to improve teacher development and training. To train master teachers, the Governor recommends $1,000,000 for the Georgia Teacher Center at Kennesaw State University. The need for teacher mentoring is to be addressed by providing $333,000 to the Georgia Systemic Teacher Education Program (GSTEP), a partnership with the University of Georgia, Valdosta State University, and Albany State University, to match a $6.5 million grant for training and mentoring new teachers.
The current definition of out-of-field teaching allows teachers to be assigned to teach classes in which they have little or no background 2 out of 5 periods every day. The committee suggested as an alternative to enact a new policy that redefines and eliminates out-of-field teaching at the middle and high school levels so that a qualified teacher teaches every student. The commission suggested that school systems be required to submit a plan for meeting requirements of a new policy ending out-of-field teaching and limit all instances of out-of-field teaching to a single year. When schools fail to meet this new policy, then the state should publish credentials of teachers and their assignments (public's right to know). To help parents know the level of out-of-field teaching, the Office of Educational Accountability may monitor incidents of out-of-field teaching on the system's report card. The Governor recognizes the need to provide staff development to end out-of-field teaching and proposes $500,000 for PSC to use distance learning to quickly train and certify teachers in fields in which they may be teaching.
The committee found that more assistance for teachers who wish to become National Board Certified (NBC) would be helpful. The National Board Certification (see www.nbpts.org for more information about the certification process) process costs approximately $2,300. Teachers are currently required to pay the full $2,300 unless they receive a portion from the Georgia Department of Education (federal funds), Georgia Association of Educators (GAE), or Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE)

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

and limited funds are available. A recent public-private partnership has been initiated to dramatically reduce the cost to teachers. Through this partnership, teachers may be eligible to receive a $1,000 grant from the state and then the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education (GPEE) or other non-profit and private companies may match the state with an additional $1,000. Teachers are then responsible for $300 of the total fees. The teacher is eligible for a 10% salary increase based on state salary and fringes at the time of certification. The Governor recommends $290,000 in both the Amended FY 2001 Budget and the FY 2002 budget to initiate this matching program. To increase the certification rate of Georgia teachers, the Professional Standards Commission will be developing ways to mentor and advise teachers. The Governor recommends $200,000 for the PSC to mentor and assist teachers seeking National Board Certification. Evidence suggests this assistance can increase the pass rate from around 40 - 45% to 70 - 75%.
To improve the pedagogy and content knowledge of math and science teachers across the state, the Governor is recommending $500,000 to the Georgia Institute of Technology Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) to train math and science teachers (see www.ceismc.gatech.edu).
Georgia needs more teachers. Currently Georgia produces less than one-third of the teachers hired in the state each year and these teachers just meet the need created by teacher attrition and retirement. Georgia is not able to meet demand that results from growth in the number of students. For every 10 college graduates prepared to teach, only 6 actually enter the teaching force and only 4 are still teaching after 5 years. Additionally, there are too few teachers prepared to teach Mathematics, Science, Foreign language, and special education in hard-to-staff schools.
To help meet the teacher shortfall, the Governor recommends $500,000 to develop an alternative certification program to certify teachers more quickly for critical shortage fields. These funds would provide means for retired professionals and persons with significant work experience in areas such as math and science to certify as a teacher. The Professional Standards Commission would administer this program. The work of teaching and

administering schools is not sufficiently attractive to recruit needed numbers of new college graduates and individuals seeking second careers, or to retain current teachers and administrators. The Governor recommends $200,000 to develop a plan for marketing teaching and school administration. The committee suggested that the market for potential teachers may be high school sophomores who score well on PSAT, paraprofessionals, individuals in other fields ready to enter teaching, minority teachers, and parttime teachers.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Roles and Responsibilities committee identified
numerous stakeholders in education. The committee highlighted numerous overlaps in the areas of curriculum, staff decisions, final decisions, testing, and facilities. The committee and the Commission were very supportive of the Education Coordinating Council (ECC) created by HB 1187 and decided to forego significant organizational change proposals at this time. The Governor does recommend that the University System and the Professional Standards Commission provide more services related to teacher training and certification.
IMPLEMENTING HOUSE BILL 1187: THE A PLUS EDUCATION REFORM ACT OF 2000
As part of GERSC last year and HB 1187, school improvement teams are funded to help low performing schools. As part of the FY 2002 Budget, the Governor recommends an additional $7,360,000 for a total of $11,360,000 for school improvement teams and central office staff. This additional funding increases the number of teams from 7 to 20 and provides grants to help a local systems address problems and improve performance. The Governor recommends $3,390,000 in sparsity grants for alternative education programs. Funding is recommended to guarantee a principal and counselor for an alternative education program that has less than 100 FTE. As mentioned previously, the Governor is also recommending $468,000,000 for the construction of additional classrooms due to the reduction in teacher-pupil ratios in HB 1187.
A more detailed description of the results of the work of GERSC is available on the Internet at http://www.gagovernor.org/governor/edreform_2000/comm ittees.html.

Tobacco Settlement Funds

As a participating state in the master settlement agreement with five cigarette manufacturers, the State of Georgia is slated to receive over $4.8 billion in payments throughout the next 25 years. Upon receipt of the state's first payment in December 1999, Governor Barnes committed that, over time, one-third of the funding would be dedicated to Rural Economic Development, while the remaining two-thirds would be committed to Healthcare. The Governor's recommendation for the use of the tobacco funds in FY 2001 and in FY 2002 honors that commitment as presented in the following graph.

Recommended Use of Funds FY 2001 - FY 2002
Healthcare 68%

Rural Economic Development

the location and expansion of firms in rural Georgia. Eligible uses of EDGE funds are the development of public infrastructure, land acquisition and site development. Financial assistance is provided only in instances where a project would not come about in the absence of the assistance.
The Equity fund, which is the infrastructure and capacity building portion of the OneGeorgia Authority, is centered on the principle that Georgia's communities must be empowered to help themselves. Equity fund regulations were written to be very broad and flexible and can be used for a variety of activities to assist in preparation for economic development. Eligible projects include traditional economic development projects such as water and sewer projects, road, rail and airport improvements and industrial parks as well as workforce development projects, technology development or tourism development proposals, just to name a few.
The Governor's FY 2002 Budget includes $34,131,677 for rural development through the OneGeorgia Authority. An additional $17,871,416 is recommended in the Amended FY 2001 budget.

The following describes the use of the tobacco settlement funds as recommended in the Governor's amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 appropriations.
RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THE ONEGEORGIA AUTHORITY
The latest tool in Georgia's effort to support local and regional economic development efforts was rolled out in FY 2001 with the creation of the OneGeorgia Authority. The authority will utilize one third of the state's tobacco settlement to assist the state's most economically challenged areas. An estimated $1.6 billion in funding for rural development is anticipated over the 25-year term of the settlement. OneGeorgia tobacco-funded investments will be targeted towards Georgia's poorest counties.
The two major types of assistance that the OneGeorgia Authority will provide to rural communities are in the areas of business development and infrastructure projects. Two funds have been set up to provide this aid: the EDGE (Economic Development, Growth and Expansion) fund and the Equity fund.
Recognizing the importance of recruiting companies to provide jobs in rural Georgia, Governor Barnes set up the EDGE fund within the OneGeorgia Authority to facilitate

HEALTHCARE POPULATION BASED HEALTHCARE
In FY 2001, Governor Barnes utilized the first receipts from the master agreement to enhance several populationbased healthcare programs. These enhancements were funded to increase the numb er of Georgians receiving statesponsored healthcare and to create new healthcare initiatives to support the general well being of Georgia's citizens.
Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids Eligibility Expansions As of July 1, 2000, pregnant women and children in families with incomes between 200% ($34,100 for a family of four) and 235% ($40,072) of the federal poverty level became eligible for Medicaid (pregnant women and infants up to age 1) or PeachCare for Kids (children ages 1 through 17). This expansion is expected to serve 3,400 pregnant women and 18,300 children in FY 2002.
Home and Community-Based Waivers - In FY 2001, tobacco settlement funds were used to help address the waiting lists for home and community based services. These services, provided through Medicaid waivers, seek to prevent hospitalization or institutionalization for persons with physical and/or mental disabilities. Funding was

20

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

appropriated to serve an additional 4,311 clients and reduced the waiting list at that time by 39%.
Rural Health - Tobacco settlement funding was appropriated in FY 2001 to support Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) expansion and rural health system development. The Department of Community Health utilized the funding to award grants to local collaboratives to identify and implement initiatives that ensure that citizens have access to affordable health care in rural areas.
School Nurses - An identified need by the Governor's Education Reform Study Committee, the Governor and General Assembly appropriated tobacco settlement funds to provide nursing services for each school system.
Newborn Hearing Screening - In FY 2001, the Newborn Hearing Screening Program utilized tobacco settlement funding to purchase hearing screening equipment for hospitals and to provide follow-up audiological evaluation and treatment for newborns identified with possible hearing problems. Additional funding has been recommended in FY 2002 to cover the costs of additional screening and treatment.
AIDS Drug Assistance Program - Funds appropriated for the ADAP program provide persons HIV positive or in the early stages of AIDS with the drug therapy necessary to prevent further progression of the AIDS virus. In FY 2001, tobacco settlement funds were appropriated to serve an additional 400 clients.
Early Intervention for At-Risk Families - Tobacco settlement funds were appropriated in FY 2001 to help reduce child abuse and to promote successful family functioning before abuse occurs. The program targets first time parents of newborns in economically disadvantaged counties, whose family profile indicates a high risk for child maltreatment.
GEORGIA CANCER COALITION In May 2000, Governor Barnes announced his intent to
make Georgia a leading contributor in the effort to eradicate cancer. As such, the Governor convened a group of state and national experts to develop a strategic plan to guide the state's effort to become a world-class leader in cancer prevention, research and treatment. Those planning efforts created the following vision for Georgia's cancer initiative:
"Georgia's population will have the lowest incidence, morbidity, and mortality rates for cancer in the nation. Georgians will know and practice cancer-preventing behaviors. We will know about and have access to early cancer detection and screening. Georgia will be a nationally recognized center for cancer research and will

have a network of unparalleled, state-of-the-art cancer treatment facilities."
To move toward the vision, the state is expected to commit $300 - $400 million over the next 7 years. The state's cancer initiative will be supported through tobacco settlement funds, state funds, and federal funds. The state expects to leverage as much as 60% with investments from foundations, private pharmaceutical and biotechnological firms, and venture capital firms.
To support the effort to eradicate cancer, the state will sponsor the creation of the Georgia Cancer Coalition (GCC) to provide a comprehensive, statewide consortium of all public and private sector cancer stakeholders. The vast statewide network of existing resources, as well as new and leveraged investments in cancer, will be linked together, and collectively will form Georgia's comprehensive cancer system. Initially, the GCC will operate under the guidance of the Georgia Research Alliance and its board of directors. During FY 2002, the Coalition will establish advisory committees and its own governance structure to promote and foster collaboration.
As a part of the state's commitment to the cancer initiative, the Governor is recommending the use of $78 million in tobacco settlement funds in the amended FY 2001 budget and the FY 2002 appropriation. These funds will be added to $17 million already appropriated in FY 2001 for items that support the GCC's mission, such as breast and cervical cancer screening for women, smoking prevention and cessation services, and the Georgia Cancer Registry. All uses of funding (both current and proposed) are directly tied to the following goals of the initiative:
Prevent cancer and detect existing cancer early reduce the number of cancer deaths through a focused education and screening effort. ($42.8 million) Improve access to quality care for all Georgians with cancer ensure that basic cancer care is available anywhere in the state. Provide more advanced treatment at regional medical centers and at three cancer centers of excellence where citizens can participate in clinical trials. ($35.6 million) Save more lives in the future recruit 150 eminent scientists and clinicians to Georgia universities and medical centers and coordinate clinical research efforts. ($4.8 million)
Train future cancer researchers and caregivers develop curriculum standards for training future clinicians and continuing education for practicing clinicians. ($2.1 million) Realize economic benefits from eradicating cancer build partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology

An additional $3.4 million will be appropriated to support the core staff of the Georgia Cancer Coalition as

well as fund an evaluation to determine information technology necessary to support the GCC infrastructure and the Cancer Registry.

Business Plan for the Uninsured

Legislation created and passed by Governor Barnes and the General Assembly charged the Department of Community Health (DCH) to investigate solutions to the problem of 1.2 million Georgians who lack health insurance. As part of the preliminary research necessary to make policy and fiscal recommendations to the Governor, the Department had to first develop a profile of the uninsured population...Who are they? Where do they live? Where do they work? Here's what they found.
The uninsured: Earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level, or for
a family of four, less than $34,100 per year. Live in families where the main wage earner works for
a business with less than 100 employees. Work in agriculture, construction, or service industries. Live in a rural county. Are adults over 25 years of age. Are more than likely minorities, especially Latino.
The Department determined that most of Georgia's uninsured use the emergency room for primary care and are significantly less likely to obtain routine, preventive care through a primary care physician. Children of the uninsured are 4 times more likely to miss school as compared to their insured counterparts.
Subsequent to their base research, the Department convened groups of advocates, providers, and business/insurance communities to seek input on how to address the uninsured problem. Additionally, the Department held hearings around the state to solicit ideas and comments from the public. The outcome of this public input helped to shape the Department's "Business Plan for the Uninsured," a plan designed to increase access to health insurance for Georgians, to capitalize on the efficiencies of the public and private sectors, to maximize federal funds, and to enhance the safety net infrastructure.
The plan reflects three primary areas of focus: Private Sector, Public Sector, and Community-based initiatives. The plan suggests that private sector initiatives should concentrate on tax credits for employers and insurers to encourage the provision of affordable health insurances, particularly to employees in small businesses and the selfemployed. Public sector initiatives should target improvements to Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids and support health services provided by local governments. Community-based initiatives should support the existing health care safety net and promote rural health system development.

To begin to assist Georgia's uninsured citizens, the Governor is recommending several items in the amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 budgets that follow the recommendations made by DCH in their Business Plan for the Uninsured. Beginning in April 2000, the Governor's recommendations will fund mainly public sector initiatives. Although a few community-based and private sector initiatives are also recommended, the bulk of those initiatives will remain under consideration and will be addressed in subsequent years.
The public sector initiatives recommended by the Governor can be categorized in four areas: access, special populations, children, and indigent providers.
Access initiatives will add additional staff to the Governor's Office of Consumers' Insurance Advocate to ensure citizens receive the healthcare coverage they purchase from insurance companies. The access initiatives also include funding for language assistance services to citizens applying for state medical assistance.
Initiatives related to special populations will allow the working disabled to maintain their Medicaid coverage by contributing toward the cost of their care. Related funding will also serve additional citizens HIV-positive or diagnosed with AIDS through the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. The initiatives will additionally support two new programs that will help adults with Sickle Cell Anemia or Cystic Fibrosis get the specialized medical services necessary to treat those chronic diseases.
Children's initiatives will expand Medicaid to cover children in families with incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty level and will change PeachCare for Kids eligibility to the first day of the month of application, rather than the month subsequent to the application date. The children's initiative also covers additional funding to public health clinics to provide prenatal care and well-baby care to pregnant women not eligible for Medicaid and their infants.
Indigent Provider initiatives will increase Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals and Home Health agencies providing a certain level of indigent care. They will also create a mechanism that would allow counties to utilize available federal Medicaid funding to support their local EMS systems.
The community initiative recommendations will include matching grants to communities to support homeless programs and will bolster the healthcare safety net by providing additional resources to community health,

rural health, and migrant health centers. The recommended private sector initiative will pay COBRA premiums of individuals with incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty

level and will take advantage of federally sponsored health insurance for persons between jobs.

Children's Protective Services

The Division of Family and Children Services in the Department of Human Resources (DHR) investigated nearly 47,000 allegations of child abuse and neglect in calendar year 1999. Of these allegations, approximately 26,000 incidents were confirmed as cases of child abuse and neglect. In addition, almost 13,000 children were in the custody of the department at the end of June 2000.
The Department of Human Resources, with Governor Barnes' approval, appointed the Georgia Child Protective Services Task Force in January 2000 to examine and make recommendations regarding issues within and outside DHR that would improve the state's ability to protect Georgia's children. The task force made a number of recommendations that were forwarded to the Governor for his consideration. Recognizing the need for a strong child protection system that should safeguard Georgia's most vulnerable citizens, Governor Barnes agreed with and is recommending a number of improvements for FY 2002.
Recruitment and Retention of CPS Caseworkers Funding is recommended to increase salaries of existing Child Protective Services (CPS) caseworkers as well as to increase starting salaries for vacant positions. For examp le, the average entry-level salary for a CPS worker, regardless of degree or specialty is $26,646. Under the new salary plan, a new CPS worker with a Master of Social Work (MSW) would receive an average starting salary of $31,500, an 18% increase. CPS wo rkers with Bachelor degrees out of field would start at an average of $28,350, or a 6% increase. Existing workers with a Master of Social Work are slated to receive at least a 15% increase in their current salaries in FY 2002, while the remaining CPS worke rs will receive a 5% increase in FY 2002.
The Governor additionally recommends 70 new CPS staff and 30 new supervisors to help reduce the average caseload per worker. All CPS workers will have additional training opportunities, as the Governor has recommended funding trainers specifically dedicated to CPS training as well as a review of the CPS training curriculum.
Prevention The Governor supports the prevention of abuse before it occurs. In addition to an Early Intervention Program funded in the FY 2001 budget with tobacco funds, the Governor recommends new funding to evaluate strategies that would prevent child abuse through the use of in-home visits to at-risk families. The Governor also supports the implementation of a pilot program designed to target adult males in active CPS cases who have substance abuse problems.

Advocacy/Legal Support Since children are one of the more vulnerable groups of citizens in Georgia, the Governor recommends funding to start 10 additional child advocacy centers around the state and to provide additional funding to expand services offered by the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. Additionally, Governor Barnes recommends an increase in the hourly rate paid to Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAG) to represent the department in cases of child abuse and neglect.
Capacity for Out-of-Home Services When CPS caseworkers have determined that a child resides in a dangerous home setting, they must have resources available to place the child in a safe and protected place. The Governor recommends funding for several items that will provide capacity in out-of-home programs for children. 50 emergency beds for children entering foster care 5% increase in foster care placements 135 institutional foster care placements 134 MATCH program placements for severely
emotional disturbed (SED) children 10% increase in adoptions
Foster Care/Adoption Support When Georgia families graciously agree to provide shelter for abused and neglected children, either through foster care or adoption, the financial cost to these parents is supplemented by the state. The Governor recommends increasing foster care and adoption assistance from $12.00 per day and moving to a graduated scale, so that the per diem is higher for older children. The new per diems would be (by age group): Infants through age 5: $12.75 Ages 6 through 12: $13.50 Ages 13 through 17: $14.25
The Governor also recommends an additional one-time reimbursement of $200 for graduation expenses for children in foster care or adoption. The Governor also supports respite care for foster families to prevent disruptions in foster placements and recommends funding emergency respite services for 350 foster families and standard respite services for 1,600 foster families.
Fatality Review In the extremely unfortunate incident of a child's death, the state has an obligation to thoroughly investigate the case to identify the cause of death and, if appropriate, to legally build a case for prosecution of the person(s) allegedly responsible. To make certain that fatality investigations are handled correctly, the Governor recommends adding 12 specially trained staff to help

25

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

investigate child fatalities and funding an additional 3 positions for the Office of Child Fatality Review.
Provider Compensation The Governor's recommendation includes 4% rate increases for institutional foster care and

MATCH providers. These rate increases are expected to support the provider network and maintain out-of-home placement capacity.

Revenue Maximization

To provide the increased services and program reforms needed in the state's human services agencies, Governor Barnes has sponsored a major effort to ensure that all federal reimbursement programs, for which Georgia citizens are entitled to, are utilized to the fullest extent possible. While some funding initiatives have been previously implemented to increase federal funding for the state, Georgia, for the most part, has not taken full advantage of all available federal funds for programs and services needed by state-funded clients.

For illustrative purposes, the following table demonstrates how revenue maximization works. If the current funding level of a program eligible for federal funding is $100 and federal funding will pay 60% of the program cost, then the amount of state funds necessary to maintain a $100 spending level can be reduced to $40, while $60 of federal funding is added. This releases $60 in state funds that can be reinvested in other programs.

Fund Use Current:
Proposed: Change:

State Funds $100 $40 -$60

Federal Funds $0
$60 +$60

Total Funds $100 $100 $0

The Governor has recommended the following revenue maximization initiatives to target areas where federal funding is available for services currently 100% statefunded. These federal funds, provided through the Social Security Act, include Title IV-E (child welfare), which supports the program needs of children in the custody of the departments of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and Human Resources (DHR), and Title XIX (Medicaid) which supports mental and physical health services provided through the departments of Community Health (DCH), Human Resources, Juvenile Justice, and Education (DOE). The effort to maximize federal revenue is estimated to net an additional $100 million in federal funds in FY 2002 as shown in the table on the following page.

State Nursing Facilities This revenue maximization initiative will increase federal Medicaid reimbursement to 100% of cost for state-owned nursing facilities and will include review and amendment of cost reports completed by DHR and submitted to DCH for rate-setting purposes.

Community Service Boards The state can maximize federal Medicaid funding by increasing the scope and availability of services for children and adults with mental illness, mental retardation, and/or substance abuse provided through Community Service Boards and private providers of community services. These service expansions are proposed under the optional Rehabilitation Services Medicaid program. This initiative will also explore the implementation of the optional Personal Care Medicaid program, as recommended by the Blue Ribbon Task Force. Additionally, this initiative includes fiscal and programmatic redesign to give DHR and DJJ greater control and program direction over community programs.
Foster Care/Out-of-Home Placements Increased federal funds will be realized as both child welfare (Title IV-E) and Medicaid funding are used to support and expand services to children and youth in the custody of DJJ and DHR. This initiative will ensure that all children placed in out-of-home settings have federally funded treatment programs to meet their needs.
Targeted Case Management Improved eligibility determination for Medicaid will increase the number of adults and children eligible for federally funded case management services.
State Agency Administration With the increase in the scope of services billable to Medicaid and child welfare (Title IV-E), additional staff time spent on eligible services is subject to federal administrative claiming. This initiative will evaluate the current methodology for identifying eligible administrative costs as well as claim the amount of extra time staff spend administering federal programs.
School Systems Therapy services provided by local school systems for Medicaid eligible children are reimbursable by Medicaid through the Children's Intervention School Services program (CISS). Although many school systems are currently participating in CISS, this initiative seeks to have all school systems participate in the program and will evaluate the program's scope of services and reimbursement to ensure that systems are collecting the appropriate federal reimbursement.

Local Health Departments This initiative seeks to increase federal Medicaid income generated locally by county health departments. County health departments will require less state grant-in-aid funding to support local health department operations because they will get increased federal Medicaid funding for health services they are currently providing.

While the receipt of federal funds maintains spending in federally maximized programs at current spending levels, the state funds released by these initiatives can be reinvested in needed health and human services for Georgia citizens. The Governor's FY 2002 budget recommendations utilize these newly available state funds to invest in the

27

state's child welfare system and to implement recommendations made by the Governor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Community-Based Programs. The Governor also recommends these funds be used to pay for many of

the budget priorities identified by the human services agencies and submitted as part of their annual budget requests.

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

Upper Payment Limit Credits and Intergovernmental Transfers

In the amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 appropriation recommendations, the Governor plans to increase contributions from governmental entities participating in the Medicaid program by utilizing upper payment limit credits to obtain federal matching funds. The following are questions and answers that explain this revenue maximization initiative.
What is an upper payment limit credit? As a condition of the receipt of federal Medicaid funds, the state must demonstrate a Medicaid service has been provided to an eligible recipient. The state has latitude in terms of the reimbursement paid to providers of care; however, the receipt of federal matching funds is capped at the upper payment limit (UPL), or the amount equal to what Medicare would have paid for the same service. The difference between what the state pays and the amount of the UPL is known as the UPL credit.
Why can the state do this? Historically, Medicaid payments to certain providers such as hospitals and nursing homes have been lower than the UPL, thus creating UPL credits. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) allows Georgia to use state funds or intergovernmental transfers (IGTs) to obtain the UPL credits.
What is an intergovernmental transfer (IGT)? To receive federal Title XIX (Medicaid) funds, the state must provide state matching funds. In FY 2002, the state

must contribute about $0.40 of every dollar spent or 40% of the cost of a Medicaid service. The state can generate the matching funds by either directly appropriating the funds from state general revenues or by soliciting intergovernmental transfers (IGTs) from public Medicaid providers (e.g., public hospitals, nursing homes, etc.). Upon agreement by the providers to contribute an IGT, the intergovernmental transfer can be used in a manner similar to state general funds.
What happens to the UPL credits? With receipt of the UPL credit, the state must reimburse any IGT contributor the amount of their contribution in a combination of state and federal funds. After reimbursement to the contributor, the state may use the remaining amount to reinvest in new healthcare initiatives. If the initiative is related to Medicaid-eligible services, the state may receive federal matching funds.
Where do the remaining UPL credits go? In the amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 budgets, the Governor recommends the use of $57.5 million and $69.7 million in intergovernmental transfers, respectively. These transfers will fund many of the Department of Community Health's budget priorities as submitted in their amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 annual budget requests, and will implement Georgia's Business Plan for the Uninsured, the department's plan to help make affordable healthcare accessible to 1.3 million uninsured Georgians.

Blue Ribbon Task Force on Community-Based Services

Because the provision of health and human services has changed in recent years, the concept of care for the physically and mentally disabled has evolved toward services and programs designed to prevent early and unnecessary institutionalization and to allow persons with widely varying needs to receive the support necessary to live independent and productive lives in the community, when appropriate.
As recognition of this change in long-term care philosophy, Governor Barnes created the Governor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Community-Based Services (BRTF) to advise his administration and the General Assembly on the state of Georgia's community-based programs. A seventeen-member panel of consumers, parents, advocates

and providers, the BRTF was required to evaluate and make recommendations concerning the following:
Current status of and future need for communitybased services;
Barriers that prevent access to existing communitybased services;
General funding recommendations based on current actual funding and limited new funding; and
Prioritization of services and possible criteria for waiting lists with fixed or limited additional funding.
In response to their charge, the BRTF created three committees to make general recommendations to the full Task Force on particular aspects of community-based

29

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

services. The Values and Principles Committee recommended the rights and responsibilities of consumers, providers, and the state in establishing an accountable and effective system. The Structures Committee reviewed the current administration and oversight of community-based services. The Previous Studies Committee examined ten years of prior studies to identify prior recommendations related to home and community-based services and to evaluate the status of their implementation.
In addition to 10 public meetings, the BRTF held several public hearings throughout the state and conducted a statewide survey of concerned individuals and groups. The BRTF received an overwhelming number of concerns, ideas, and suggestions to improve Georgia's communitybased services. Based on this input, the BRTF members presented recommendations in three categories:
Accountability - There is a need for quality improvement, monitoring standardization, and complaint resolution.
Services and Supports Stakeholders desire consumer-directed care, an expanded scope of service, presumptive eligibility, and service parity among disability types and age groups.
Funding The state should invest new resources to eliminate planning lists, support provider reimbursement, maximize federal funds, and supplement SSI payments.
The Task Force made other recommendations with a specific age and/or disability focus that were presented separately for older adults, people with disabilities, and people with mental illness.
In response to the BRTF final report, the Governor is proposing a significant investment in state funds related to the recommendations of the Task Force. In FY 2002, the Governor's budget reflects new funding of $36.7 million in state funds to address community-based service planning lists and to support provider infrastructure. Since many of the services recommended for funding are eligible for

federal Medicaid reimbursement, the total new investment in Georgia's home and community-based services exceeds $67 million.
Specifically, the Governor recommends: $49.1 million in additional funds to create new capacity of over 5,300 slots in community-based programs, representing the largest cumulative effort in history to address the planning lists for services for the mentally retarded, frail elderly, and physically disabled. $13.6 million in provider rate increases to support provider infrastructure and expand network capacity to serve additional clients; $2.8 million for community-based crisis services for severely emotionally disturbed children; $1.2 million in new funding to support families with members with developmental disabilities; $700,000 to create pilot programs in Chatham and Fulton counties to provide services to the homeless with mental illness or co-occurring disorders; $261,013 in relocation funding for adults in abusive or neglectful home settings; Support for the use of the Medicaid rehabilitation option to provide mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse services in all types of community settings; and Direction to DHR and DCH to evaluate the policy and fiscal impact of providing personal care services outside of waiver programs, as part of the Medicaid state plan.
Although the Governor has addressed many of the BRTF recommendations in his FY 2002 budget recommendations, remaining Task Force suggestions will be evaluated and addressed in the coming year by a steering committee appointed by the Governor and comprised of representatives from the BRTF as well as state agency staff.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT
Public-Private Sector Interaction in the Budget

I. A BUDGET PERSPECTIVE
Georgia's productive capacities are activated by businesses who sense prospects of spending by consumers, businesses, and governments. Except for adjustment lags, Georgia's output mixes and levels then reflect the judged preferences of private purchasers, both inside and outside the state, and of elected officials who orient government buying to satisfy the demands of their constituents. Accordingly, households influence resource use both directly and indirectly. Their actions as buyers of output, suppliers of productive services, and voters make the public and private sectors of Georgia's economy overlap. More important, they force the government and private sectors to interact. Activity in the private sector induces voters to demand government outputs. But, government markets no productive services of its own and so has no self-generated purchasing power with which to respond. To meet calls from constituents, consequently, elected officials maintain routines which allow purchasing power to be drawn from individuals and businesses, which permit this purchasing power to command the resources for production of wanted government goods and services, and which allow for a politically -rewarding distribution of the resulting outputs within the private sector. For Georgia's state government and the year ending June 30, 2002 (FY 2002), the Governor's Budget Report: Fiscal Year 2002 captures the financial essence of these routines and of the complex public-private exchanges in which they play a part.
The Budget Report makes specific the yield of the state's reach into the private sector with taxes and fees. It reviews the performance of these revenue generators in the immediate past and provides estimates of their revenue yields in the immediate future. On the basis of these estimates, government can plan purchases from the private sector of the productive factors and services required to fashion and deliver its set of politically -chosen programs. In the private economy, value added by an activity is measurable by subtraction of factor costs from final sales. Outputs which risk adding less to receipts than to costs will be resisted. In the government economy, in contrast, the created outputs are typically not "sold." To decide the merit of a product or service, government takes its revenues to be reflective of costs (private sacrifices) and its expenditures on the production of government outputs to be reflective of benefits. The Budget Report builds in this approach. Government's programs, projects, and products have competed with one another for shares of the anticipated revenues. In total, a year's expected revenues limits the same year's expenditures. That is, the budget is "balanced." Such balance insures that, pecuniarily at least,

the total withdrawal from the private sector is matched by the total return. Beyond such rough weighing of participation, government's economic net value-added is not evaluated. Instead, political competition for the favor of the electorate is simply trusted to make government's use of withdrawn funds more beneficial on balance to the economic community than the use which the private sector would otherwise have chosen.
Were government's value-added measurable, it would be sought in the increased output, productivity, and wellbeing which government's actions promoted. Sometimes, government services are tantamount to "income" for selected recipients. Direct benefits are received without any specific exchanges. When government programs first have their impacts upon businesses rather than households, contributions to individual wellbeing become indirect. Besides services, government infrastructures (like roads, ports, and even educated persons) can add to the utility and productivity of the private sector. Often, government's influence will involve neither direct services nor goods but will reinforce the economic incentives of households and businesses. Regulation has this characteristic. The Budget Report does not track the various returns which can be expected to flow from government activities. However, it carefully delineates the many types of programs which are recommended for financing and announces the principal outcomes which are anticipated. The Budget Report's emphasis upon res ults -based-budgeting affirms that the state is striving for a better quantification of all effects.
II. AN ECONOMIC BACKGROUND
An economic background for the expenditure allocations of the Budget Report is presented in this section on public-private sector interaction. Emphasis is upon the way in which private-sector conditions constrain the power of taxes and fees to generate revenues. First, the pattern and level of revenues yielded by Georgia's taxes and fees in the past decade and in the past few quarters are outlined. Second, the sensitivity of the revenue yield to the characteristics of the private economy in both the long-term and the short-term are considered. Third, the characteristics of the private economy associated with variations in yields of taxes and fees are depicted. Finally, the properties of the economy which define the revenue-expenditure balance featured in the Budget Report for FY 2002 are outlined.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

III. STATE GOVERNMENT REVENUES
Aggregate revenues . During the decade of the nineties, government's taxes and fees provided a neardoubling of collections. In FY 1990, the high-mark and end of the expansion of the eighties, the revenue yield was $7.2 billion. In FY 2000, revenues climbed to $13.8 billion. Despite the meager advances registered in the first two years, the average annual rate of increase over the ten years rose to 6.7%. Significantly, the gain did not reach to the average advances of 9.9%, 11.4%, and 8.5% of the sixties, seventies, and eighties respectively. Inflation could be partially to blame. After adjustment for price changes, the average annual revenue growth in the nineties (3.7%) did inch above that of the eighties and seventies (3.6% and 3.4%). Nevertheless, it still fell short of that in the sixties (5.7%). In terms of variability of growth, a serious constraint on government's financial planning, unadjusted revenues in the nineties were more volatile than in any of the three preceding decades. In price-adjusted terms, nevertheless, revenue growth in the nineties was more stable than in the seventies or eighties. Yet, it remained less stable than in the sixties.
The growth record for FY 1989 through FY 2000 is represented in the panels of Figure 1. The first panel provides a reminder that, in years when the private economy weakens substantially, the reach-in of Georgia's tax-and-fee system may achieve little revenue growth. In fact, in recessions, revenues may grow by less than the rise in private personal income. Obviously, when growth dropped from around 10% in FY 1989 and FY 1990 to around 1% in FY 1991 and FY 1992, the challenge to program financing was considerable. Although a smaller drop, the slippage in revenue growth from above 8% over the years FY 1994 through FY 1996 to only 6.6% and 5.3% in FY 1997 and FY 1998 respectively likewise undermined planned (economical) service delivery. When allowance is made for increases in the prices which were faced (panel 3), government's purchasing power actually declined in both 1991 and 1992. In such years, maintenance of the quality and extent of government services becomes virtually impossible.
Should financial plans be tied to "new monies," the second panel carries the same warning as do the first and third. In two successive years, revenue gains fell below $100 million even though the average increase over the eleven-year span was $658 million. Because of revenue's upward trend, the dollar gain in FY 2000 was the largest of the period ($1,086 million).
Government's ultimate interest is in individuals. Consequently, the record of gains in inflation-adjusted

revenues per capita (panel 4) perhaps best signals the change in the value of services which government can deliver. In this series, the variability in growth noticed for the revenue aggregates has carried over; the declines in FY 1991 and FY 1992 reappear but are exaggerated. Moreover, in the final three years of the period, per capita revenues picture relative weakness rather than relative strength. Growth in FY 1998 through FY 2000 dropped well below that of the years FY 1993 through FY 1997; in FY 2000, growth slipped below that of FY 1999 and, save for the gain in FY 1998, was less than any positive increment in other years in the period

income taxes have risen year by year through FY 2000. In fact, their path has been marked by accelerating growth. In contrast, revenues from sales taxes were slow to advance following the dip in private-sector output starting in FY 1990; upon economic recovery, they rose strongly for only four years. Their weakening in FY 1997 and slight decline in FY 1998 reflected in part the phased exemption of food for off-the-premises use from the base of the sales tax. Significantly, the contribution of the Olympic Games to sales activity within the state was insufficient to overcome the opposing effect of the tax change. Among the major

Revenue sources . Throughout the nineties, the state's revenue collections came mainly from individual income, sales, and corporate income taxes. As shown in Table 1, the proportion of total revenues originating in individual income taxes has risen from 39.8% in FY 1990 to 46.2% in FY 2000. Most of this share gain has come at the expense of the sales tax. Collections of sales taxes as fractions of total collections have dropped from 38.8% to 24.5% over the decade. In contrast, the shares of total revenues generated by the corporate income tax and by other lesser sources have changed little. Significantly, the share claimed by the corporate income tax has varied considerably.

Revenue paths. The changed revenue shares fit the revenue paths of major sources which are depicted in Figure 2. Taking FY 1989 as base, collections of individual

sources, growth in revenues generated by the corporate income tax has been least regular. Yields declined before the private economy reached its 1990 activity peak and did not regain their FY 1989 level before FY 1996. While increases in FY 1998 and FY 1999 were strong, collections in FY 2000 dropped by 10 %.
The quarterly paths from 1 Q 99 through 1 Q 01 conform to the annual patterns. Despite considerable "noise" in each of the paths, individual income taxes maintained a clear upward trend, sales taxes rose as well but at a slower rate, and corporate income taxes were generally headed downward. In 1 Q 01, collections of individual income taxes declined. Since deviations from
34

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

trend occurred in both 4 Q 99 and 2 Q 00, the decline in 1 Q 01 need not point to a turning point in the growth path.
IV. REVENUE LINKAGES
The growth record for aggregate revenues and its components does not distinguish between gains arising from peculiarities of tax-and-fee structures and those arising from the behavior of tax-and-fee bases. To test for reliability in the linkage of revenues to private-sector activity, three cobehaviors are considered.
First, the connection between aggregate revenues, the most general measure of yield, and personal income, the most general measure of private income, is assessed from two perspectives. The share of personal income absorbed
FIGURE 3 DOMINANCE OF GEORGIA REVENUES1
Percent

government's reach-in has never accounted for more than 6.4% (FY 1974) or less than 5.6% (FY 1984). Admittedly, legislation has regularly "fine tuned" the tax-and-fee structure and helped achieve this result. The preferences of elected officials might then be claimed to be of greater account for participatory stability than the tax-and-fee structures which were once introduced and subsequently modified. In any case, the 6.1% share of personal income going to government in FY 2000 complies with the thirtyyear pattern. Interestingly, that share matches the FY 1970 fraction.
Another way of seeing aggregate stability in revenue generation appears in Figure 4. There, the quarterly revenue-income connection is viewed over four fiscal years. In such a short period, distortions from temporary influences implicit in personal income give rise to variability. Afterall, personal income is not the base for any tax or fee and so revenue likely will no more than approximate its path. Significantly, the variability of the relationship shows no signs of increasing. An "elasticity" of 1.10 marks the period relationship. Were this sensitivity to persist, dominance would obviously climb. Since it has not (Figure 3), elasticity probably has been offset by cyclical influences and by legislative adjustments of taxand-fee structures.

Even the variations around the average share (5.98%) have been small (coefficient of variation of 0.26). Although personal income has risen by a multiple of 14.5 in the thirty years,

Second, since income taxes have had the most robust growth, a check on the linkage of tax withholding, a revenue element, to wages and salaries, a private-sector income, is instructive. Withholding is the principal component of the income tax; wages and salaries dominate taxable incomes. As Figure 5 reveals, the connection between yield and base has been close over the four years. The relationship shows withholding to be slightly progressive relative to personal income. A 10% increase in wages and salaries yields a 12% increase in taxes. Although the sensitivity (slope) appears not to have changed, an unexplained upward shift (intercept change) in the withholding-wage function occurred in 2 Q 97 and has persisted.

Third, because of the variability exhibited by the yield

of the corporate income tax, influences other than the

behavior of corporate income may be suspected.

Government's reach to corporate income might not be

reliable. Unfortunately, measures of corporate profits for

Georgia are not available to test for confounders. However,

for the U.S., both corporate tax liabilities and corporate

profits are reported by the U.S. Treasury. Using this data,

Figure 6 indicates that corporate tax liability has stayed in

close relationship to corporate profits. Over the nineties,

the average marginal tax rate has been about 28.5%. Since

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

Georgia's corporate income taxes usually follow the pattern of those in the nation (Figure 7), it can be supposed that Georgia's corporate profits are generally aligned with national profits as well. More particularly, it is reasonable to believe that collections of corporate income taxes by Georgia's Department of Revenue reflect the behavior of corporate income associated with or originating in Georgia.
V. THE PRIVATE ECONOMY
Output performance. In the government sector, the lack of an output measure has shifted the emphasis to spending on inputs as a measure of performance. In the private sector, the same approach would give prominence to absorption of major inputs like labor, capital, and managerial services. Certainly the popular attention given to unemployment and employment rolls affirms that input use matters. However, the private sector's periodic product is sold to someone (even the producer) and so its output can be gauged. For Georgia, output can be assessed in terms of gross state product or, with slight distortion, total personal income. Since personal income is reported more frequently and with a shorter time lag, it becomes the preferred gauge. Of course, since wellbeing is

fundamentally an individual characteristic, per capita income commonly becomes the performance measure of rank.
Georgia's personal income has grown more strongly, but also more erratically, than U.S. personal income over the nineties (Figure 8). The average annual rate of increase of 7.0% was below the averages of 9.5% , 11.5%, and 9.1% of the prior three decades. After adjustment for price changes, the gain of the nineties slipped to 3.7%, about four-fifths of the 1960-1990 gain. In the most recent two years, growth in Georgia's personal income has stayed roughly in step with that in the nation, but, once again, has varied more.

As evident in Figure 9, Georgia's per capita income rose in each year of the nineties. Climbing by an average rate of 4.9% per year, per capita income in 1999 was 1.5 times that of 1990. From 1993 through 1999, the percentage increase exceeded that for the United States. Nevertheless, the average rate of increase was barely two-thirds of Georgia's rate for the sixties and eighties and only half of that for the seventies. When adjusted for price changes so as to give a

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

measure of per capita purchasing power, the gain in the nineties averaged 2.0% per year, well below that of sixties (4.5%) and eighties (2.9%) but above the recession-plagued years of the seventies (1.6%). Per capita income's growth in the nineties was slightly below the 2.2% growth in government's per capita revenues. In the most recent two fiscal years, Georgia's per capita income continued its climb. During 3 Q FY00 and 4 Q FY00, in fact, per capita income (current dollars) rose more rapidly than in the preceding six quarters.

Employment of labor. The noted increases in Georgia's personal income have been possible because of increased productivity and increased inputs. Nonagricultural employment climbed by an annual average rate of 2.7% in the nineties. In the three preceding decades, average gains per year were 4.3%, 3.0%, and 3.3% respectively. The growth pattern for the most recent decade is represented in Figure 10. Growth in total nonagricultural employment reached a peak in early 1994 and has followed a declining trend in the years following. Growth in employment in services has been particularly strong but volatile. Annual rates of gain in employment in retail trade have reached higher levels (7.8%) but have also shown greater variation. Still, the strongest (and weakest) growth in the decade has been reflected by employment in construction (12.1% and 17.2% respectively). Manufacturing employment has displayed modest gains. Especially in the last four years, this industry's growth has been the most stable.
VI. PROSPECTS
Indicators: revenues . Among the time paths of Georgia's revenue sources, the most recent data (1 Q FY01) suggests slackening growth for both individual income taxes and corporate income taxes. Because the growth slippage (2.8%) in individual income tax revenues has been for only one quarter, "noise" in collections could be all that is reflected. However, individual taxes account for a far greater proportion of revenue growth than their proportion of revenue yield. In FY 2000, the proportions were 61% and 46% respectively as compared with 34% and 29% for sales taxes. Consequently, even a slight easing of gains in individual income taxes would have significant bearing on growth in revenues.

The slippage in corporate income taxes is of longer duration (one year) than in individual income taxes. It is also deeper (14.2%). Moreover, in view of the tight relationship between tax liabilities and profits for corporations in the nation (Figure 6), the decline in collections most probably points to weakness in the profits

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

of corporations paying taxes to Georgia. In past recessions, Georgia's corporate tax collections have fallen sharply (30% in the 1990 recession) and ahead of the general slippage of revenues.
Indicators: economy . Wages and salaries, accounting for most of the changes in withholding (Figure 5), continue to climb sharply over year-ago levels (9%). However, when quarter-to-quarter advances are considered, wages and salaries were rising less rapidly in 2 Q FY00 than in any quarter in the preceding year. With non-agricultural employment increasing in 1 Q FY01 at half the pace of a year earlier, the slowing of growth in wages and salaries should be expected. Only productivity gains high than currently experienced could keep wages and salaries rising while employment slips.
The surge in employments in the retail trade and service industries, close to a 7% rate in the past two years, hints of growth well in excess of industry sales. Increments of this size will then not continue even if retail sales and services deliveries were to be sustained. Already, employment in services (1 Q FY01) has fallen from 7.1% in the middle of 1999 to around 3.3% in the middle of 2000. In construction, an indicator of forthcoming purchases of

equipment and appliances, the growth in employment of roughly 9% in 1998 and 1999 was followed by a shrinkage to between 0% and 2% in 2000. Significantly, construction gains in Georgia were far weaker than for the U.S. as a whole.
Major risks. Both the Georgia and U.S. private economic sectors have been spurred by nearly 5 years of double-digit advances in business purchases of information processing equipment and software. As a share of U.S. gross private domestic investment, purchases of equipment and software have climbed to outrank structures and residential investment. Anecdotal evidence suggests that businesses are now hesitating to continue investments in short-life capital with small marginal gains in performance. A slowing of growth in investment would feed through the private sector to ease expansions in income and employment.
Prospects . Given clear signs of weakening revenue and employment growth and of threats to income gains from investment slackening, the increment in state revenues expected for FY 2002 is smaller than in the two prior fiscal years. The level of state general funds is expected to rise to $14.4 billion in FY 2002, an increase of 7.3%.

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING

Mandated by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act, Results-Based Budgeting provides a concise overview of the progress that state programs are making in addressing the economic, education, social, and service needs of the citizenry. Results-Based Budgeting reports on the impact of state programs. This information enables state policy-makers, agency managers, OPB, and the public to identify effective program strategies and those strategies that need improvement or total revision.
Now in its fifth year of implementation, RBB offers decision-makers, program managers, and OPB with state government's first archive of trend data by which to assess the outcomes of programs financed by Georgia's taxpayers. These trends in program outcomes help "red flag" programs for further review so that the reasons for substandard performance can be identified and corrected. Thus, policymakers can determine whether the apparent lack of program impact has resulted from such problems as: poor planning; faulty progra m design; ineffective management; inadequate resources; missing, inaccurate, and/or noncurrent data; or extraneous conditions outside the program's control.
Results-based budgeting information allows the Governor, the General Assembly, program managers, and the public to relate program results to program expenditures. This information will assist the Governor and the General Assembly in allocating scarce resources to best benefit the citizens of Georgia by:
Focusing the legislative process upon the policy implications of funds spent in state agency programs and services.
Identifying similar programs across state agencies and assessing their combined impact.
Identifying successful and unsuccessful programs.
Determining when environmental influences indicate changes in program strategies because current strategies no longer meet existing needs.
Enabling programs to be evaluated and funded according to their actual benefit to program customers and taxpayers.
Aiding policy makers in determining if it is in the best interests of the state to expend funds to achieve a program's identified result.
Enhancing the ability of the Office of Planning and Budget to track funding in policy areas across agency boundaries.

Enabling program managers to compare the results of different strategies and program sites to identify superior performance, ascertain the reasons for the enhanced performance, and transfer successful strategies to other sites throughout the state.
For the FY 2001 and FY 2002 State Budget Reports, many programs began compiling and using results data for the first time. This process has resulted in significant changes in the types of data collected and the methods for compiling, verifying, analyzing, and reporting information. These modifications, along with the agencies' efforts to improve the types and quality of data collected, have been one of the most noteworthy achievements of the RBB endeavor.
By focusing on outcomes, RBB has encouraged state government to be more accountable to Georgia's citizens. Taxpayers can now see how public policy is operationalized into state government programs; which programs have the highest priorities, and how well these programs are serving their customers. Program managers are using RBB information to better plan, set priorities, manage, and provide services to the public. Thus, Results-Based Budgeting has not only made government more accountable to its citizens, but also has had a positive impact on government programs.
The FY 2002 Results-Based Budget includes a comparison of FY 2000 desired results and actual performance. It also shows program's FY 2001 and FY 2002 desired results and the most comprehensive explanation of actual results to date. This year's RBB will be used as the basis for developing a valid, reliable, and meaningful "report card" on government performance.
While many programs have already begun to both modify and improve their data collection systems and identify more valid and reliable measures for program results, OPB will work with major state programs during FY 2001 to finalize these improvements. This coming year, OPB also will use RBB information to identify programs for more intensive evaluation to determine the reasons for problematic performance.
During FY 2001, OPB will begin integrating RBB with the state's strategic planning efforts, program evaluation, management studies, and policy research to establish a platform by which the Governor and other policymakers can strategically manage state services.

STATE STRATEGIC PLAN

Vision for Georgia
Georgia is a state blessed with bountiful resources and great people. It is the fastest growing state east of the Mississippi River and is known worldwide as a place in which the environment for business is positive and the quality of life for its citizens is excellent. However, no state can rest on its laurels and expect its economy to continue to flourish and its citizens to grow and prosper. We must maintain our positive national status, but we have new work that must be done to expand our prosperity to all regions of the state and solve issues that threaten our continued success. There are eight areas upon which state government and the people of Georgia must focus to achieve a better Georgia in the new millennium. We start from a great position. We also have formidable challenges. Together we can build the Georgia of the new century by focusing on the education of our people, the health of our citizens, the health of our economy, the stewardship and smart management of our growth, the improvement of our environment, the safety of our communities and a government that is accountable to the taxpayers, the citizens whom government serves. Finally, we must embrace and expand the capacity and the use of all forms of technology, part icularly information technology, to achieve success in all elements of our society.
Education for Georgia's Future
Our state has a strong foundation for educating all of our citizens. However, we must do better. We must act upon our belief that every child in our state can learn, and that no child should be left behind. In the global marketplace of the new millennium, Georgia must improve the education services that we provide our citizens, from birth through lifelong learning opportunities and all education components in between. To improve these education services, the state must focus upon the results that we want our education programs to produce. To make this progress in education results, we must have improved cooperation and communication among all education components at the state, regional and local levels. Additionally, we must develop a system of accountability for all components of the education system. This focus upon accountability will require the development of a measurement system and a student information system that track the progress of every student, at every level of their education experience. The final outcome will be a dynamic education system that delivers on the promise of a quality education for every citizen. Every citizen, our economy, our communities and our society will be the winners for this focus and effort.
Safe Communities and Safe Citizens
Our state and its citizens enjoy a superior quality of life. However, we must be ever vigilant to provide each citizen and community with a sense of security and real safety. No citizen or visitor to this state should fear for his or her safety on our streets, in our neighborhoods or in any community anywhere in Georgia. This requires Georgia to first focus upon the prevention of crime. When crime does occur, however, we must demand and produce swift and accurate justice and provide appropriate sanctions for those offenders who chose to commit

crime against the citizens of this state. Our judicial system must be well equipped and staffed to ensure that justice is swift and fair. Our law enforcement community must have the tools and the manpower to prevent crime by its presence and interaction with the community. There must be adequate staffing and equipment to respond quickly and efficiently to crime when it occurs. Finally, we must provide sufficient secure facilities to protect society from violent and dangerous felons.
Statewide Economic Prosperity
Georgia has enjoyed rich economic growth over the past several years. It is imperative that we continue to enhance the business environment of the state to compete in the global economy. As a regional leader in the South, Georgia must capitalize on the technology resources and infrastructure that we now have to attract new businesses and to keep and expand existing business. As the global and national economies become increasingly knowledge-based, information-driven, and service deliveryfocused, we must position Georgia and its citizens to take advantage of these new and emerging markets. We must also focus on bringing economic vitality to all of rural Georgia by investing in economic development strategies and the infrastructure that value innovation, attract businesses and keep communities vital and viable. With the entire world as a market, we must help localities formulate ideas and create businesses and strategies that meet this new international market for products and services. In concert with the state's education reform efforts, we must ensure that Georgia's workforce is well prepared, educated and trained. New and existing businesses must have a qualified workforce to create economic prosperity for Georgia. We must always provide a positive environment for business to flourish and ensure a quality of life that will attract companies to locate and thrive here.
Transportation and Land Use Planning
The metropolitan areas of Georgia have experienced remarkable and prosperous economic and physical growth over the past two decades. Many of this state's metropolitan counties are among the fastest growing counties in the United States. While this has been a blessing for the economic prosperity of our citizens, it has also created challenges for the continued exceptional quality of life that we enjoy throughout Georgia. The orderly development of our metropolitan communities is required to protect our water and air quality, to improve our commute times and reduce traffic congestion, to protect our "green spaces" and to promote our overall quality of life that every citizen demands and deserves. The balancing of growing our economy and building businesses while ensuring a good quality of life for each citizen must be carefully managed for `good' growth. With better coordination and collaboration between local entities and the state, we must ensure that wise transportation and land use decisions are made when we add housing and business developments and new business centers. Our cities and communities in the metropolitan areas of Georgia must be livable, prosperous, clean, safe and places where people want to work and can enjoy their lives in the way they choose. These are communities where commerce can thrive.

STATE STRATEGIC PLAN

Clean Environment and Water Stewardship
Georgia's natural resources are vast and impressive. We must never reduce our commitment to keeping these resources clean and wholesome for our present citizens as well as for future generations. This will require a united front from government, business, communities and individual citizens. Clean air, water and soil are critical components of a successful state and a positive quality of life. We must conserve when needed. We must clean up our mistakes of the past. We must ensure that the infrastructure for water and sewer statewide is modern and safe. Our rivers and lakes must be clean, and our water sources must be protected and preserved. And we must be vigilant in our wastewater management to support our overall water resource management. Without clean air, water and soil, we cannot have healthy citizens and our ability to attract and keep business will be negatively impacted. We must have the resolve to be vigilant in balancing our needs for growth with our needs to have healthy citizens and communities. We must forever protect our natural resources for today and in the future.
Community Health
A strong state is made up of strong and healthy citizens and communities. The continuing shift in healthcare delivery across America has created challenges for our state to ensure that all citizens receive the healthcare that they need. With pressing issues of healthcare costs and medical insurance coverage for all citizens, the state must continue its efforts to control state associated healthcare costs and provide the necessary insurance coverage to indigent children who are not insured. Georgia needs a healthcare system that works in the marketplace but also provides medical care for every Georgian who needs that care. This requires a strong partnership among the medical delivery system, the insurance industry and the state to maximize citizens access to comprehensive healthcare. Good healthcare systems that provide comprehensive, accessible and efficient medical care for citizens are important to the economic vitality of the state.
Accountable Government
Good government is an important component of a successful state and community. Government can broker alliances with the private sector and citizens to foster solutions to many issues. A successful state government should not get in the way of its lawabiding, tax-paying citizens. Georgia's state government must be managed to provide the maximum of responsive, useful and excellent services for the minimum, most efficient cost. Citizens trust government that provides services they need and that can show results of the programs that are provided. In education, every citizen should know if our children and students have learned the curriculum that they are expected to

learn. In the environment, citizens want to know if the air and water is cleaner. If targets and improvements are not achieved in these and other areas, then strategies can be implemented to get the results that citizens need and demand. State government can manage its programs more effectively and efficiently if it measures results for accountability purposes. The taxpayers must always be able to determine the value of what they get for their tax investment.
Technology
Every other component discussed in this vision cannot be achieved without the integrated use of technology throughout Georgia and at all levels of government in our state. The global marketplace is becoming a knowledge-based economy. Information and the quick access to that information will be the critical component in achieving the success we have outlined in education, community and citizen safety, statewide economic development, well managed growth for Georgia, a clean environment and water stewardship, community health and finally, an accountable and good government. Technology will provide the connectivity between all elements of government, the private sector and Georgia's citizens. Georgia must build the technology infrastructure and capacity to compete in this new global marketplace. Georgia must also ensure that we have a technology -literate citizenry and workforce. The new millennium will bring enormous challenges but also remarkable opportunities for Georgia. Our state, its businesses and its citizens must be connected to that world of the 21st century to prosper, and technology will provide that connection.
Conclusion
The future of Georgia is bright and full of promise. We must rededicate our efforts to provide quality education for all Georgians of all ages. We must provide for the safety of all our citizens and communities. We must foster a prosperous economic environment. Because of our successes in economic development, we must manage the development and population growth through good transportation and land use planning. We must ensure a clean environment and proper stewardship of all of our water resources. We must enable a comprehensive healthcare process that provides access to adequate healthcare to all Georgians. We must demand and deliver a good and accountable state government that provides effective and efficient services and programs. And, finally, we must embrace and expand technology in the lives of all citizens to achieve all of the above goals.

READER'S GUIDE

The FY 2002 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications that deal with the Governor's budget recommendations to the 2001 General Assembly and subsequent appropriations.
This Budget Report presents the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for FY 2002, which begins July 1, 2001 and ends June 30, 2002. It also includes detailed information about past, current and projected revenue collections; past expenditures and budgets; program policies; and state organizational structures. This document is released in connection with the Governor's budget message to the Georgia General Assembly during the first week of its annual session.
An Amended Budget Report, released during the week prior to the session, details spending changes recommended by the Governor for the fiscal year underway when the General Assembly meets in regular session in January of each year. The Amended Budget Report presented to the 2001 General Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the fiscal year that ends on June 30, 2001.
The Budget in Brief is published in May after the legislative session ends and covers all expenditures authorized by the General Assembly for the upcoming fiscal year and for the current fiscal year in effect.
THE FY 2002 BUDGET REPORT
Departments can have as many as 9 separate sections in this FY 2002 Budget Report with each section providing a different level of information about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section.
ORGANIZATION CHART
Each department's section starts with an Organization Chart that displays the major divisions comprising each department. Agencies, commissions, and authorities attached to that department for administrative purposes are also identified.
The numbers in each block represent budgeted state positions for each division. Positions counts are also provided for those attached agencies, commissions, and authorities that receive direct state appropriations for their operations. The total number of positions budgeted for each department and attached entities is listed underneath each department's title at the top of the page.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The Financial Summary for each department budget unit provides up to 11 different levels of budget information by object class, including expenditures for 2 prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations.
The first page of each summary includes the following information concerning expenditures, current budget and agency requests:
FY 1999 and FY 2000 actual expenditures; FY 2001 current operating budget; and FY 2002 agency requests by adjusted base, enhancements (limited to 3% of the adjusted base), and totals.
The second page of each summary includes the following information concerning the FY 2002 Governor's budget recommendations:
Current Budget The annual operating budget including approved amendments.
Annualizers and Adjustments Includes 3 months funding for pay for performance not funded in FY 2001 and partially funded enhancements from FY 2001. Previous non-recurring and one-time expenditures are deducted, and other adjustments such as transfer of funds among object classes are incorporated.
Workload Captures funding increases due to changes in activity levels such as student enrollment or other similar situations.
Adjusted Base - Consists of the summation of the Current Budget, Annualizers and Adjustments, and Workload recommendations.
Enhancements Consists of new programs or expansions of existing programs.
Each Financial Summary includes the total funds recommended or appropriated to each department, including state general funds, federal funds, funds collected and retained by departments, and any other funds available to them. The totals for each category of fund sources are shown at the bottom of the tables.

BUDGET SUMMARY
The Budget Summary explains the Governor's recommendations, as displayed by object class on the second page of the Financial Summary section, from the perspective of budget initiatives being recommended by the Governor concerning new or expanded programs and services that are to be funded. Each column of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary.
Adjustments to Current Budget Adjusted Base - The first line lists the existing state appropriations for FY 2001, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for FY 2002 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases, reductions for non-recurring expenditures, and for increased workload activities. These annualizers and adjustments to the 2001 appropriation total provide the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his FY 2002 budget recommendations.
Enhancement Funds - The section explains the various enhancement recommendations.
Capital Outlay This section provides descriptions of recommended capital outlay projects and programs. Capital outlay may include property acquisition, construction, renovation, major repair, and unique equipment needs generally outside of the ability of agencies to fund within their operating budgets.
FUNCTIONAL BUDGET SUMMARY
Functional budgets by total and state funds are displayed in this section for the current year's appropriations and recommendations by the Governor for the upcoming fiscal year.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This page describes bas ic department responsibilities as determined by law, policy or mandate. It also describes how departments are organized to carry out their missions.
STRATEGIES AND SERVICES
This section discusses the major budget and policy changes taking place in each department. The discussion focuses on major initiatives that are in the final stages of implementation, those that are currently being implemented and possibly expanded, and new initiatives that are being proposed for the future.

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING
Results-Based Budgeting (RBB), which first began in FY 1998, was created to make state agencies more accountable to Georgia's taxpayers. Executive-branch agencies identify key programs, set long-range goals for the programs, and establish and measure the results that programs achieve each year in progress toward meeting the goals. By comparing the actual results to desired results and by examining the trends in achievement, state decisionmakers, the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget (OPB), agency staff, and the public are able to identify effective and ineffective programs. OPB follows up on this information to determine the reasons for both problems and successes. The Governor, the General Assembly, and OPB then use this information to inform policy-makers and support the state's budget and appropriation process.
RBB information is presented in two parts --Program Summaries and Program Fund Allocations.
Program Summaries - The first phase was initiated in the FY 1998 Budget Report and provided information on each program by name, purpose and goals. The second phase, documented in the FY 1999 Budget Report, identified desired results expected from each program during FY 1999. The second phase also refined and identified programs more in line with the state's original expectations. The FY 2000 Budget Report started phase three by beginning the collection of multi-year data for actual results. The FY 2001 document completes phase three by including actual results for RBB programs against previously identified desired results. The FY 2002 Budget Report provides the beginning of trend data by which to assess program impact.
Program Fund Allocations - The Program Fund Allocations summary provides the FY 2000 actual expenditures, FY 2001 current appropriations, and the Governor's FY 2002 budget recommendations for each program. Total and state funds are shown separately. This display provides a fuller accounting of an agency's mix of funds than previously provided in the state's budget docume n t s .
CAPITAL OUTLAY SECTION
The state's Capital Improvement Program was expanded to 5 years to be more consistent with the timeframe of the State Strategic Plan and most agencies strategic plans. In addition to listing each agency's capital outlay requests and the Governor's recommendations for FY 2002 Capital Outlay Projects, the Capital Improvement Program also displays Capital Outlay Projected Needs for FY 2003 through 2006, as identified by the agencies.

44

READER'S GUIDE

The multi-year Capital Improvement Program recognizes that most major capital projects should have sufficient planning, analysis, and predesign work completed prior to a formal request for design and construction funds. It also requires agencies to view the budget requests as the first year of their multi-year capital plan.
Both the FY 2002 capital requests and recommendations and the FY 2003-2006 projections are organized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided using 5 project type categories.
First, projects are grouped by such general or common subject areas as institutions, authorities, commissions, centers, or by common relationships, such as Major Markets, Wildlife Resources, Local School Systems, or Regional Youth Development Centers.

Second, the major groupings are subdivided into the following capital project type categories: Property Acquisition, New Construction, Renovations and Improvements, Major Repairs, and Equipment. The Governor's recommendation for amount and type of funding is provided for each requested project.
APPENDIX
Several items of supplemental and general background information are displayed in this section, including the state surplus for the prior 2 years, a 3-year record of budgeted positions, historical and current data about state bonds and debt, an explanation of the basis of budgeting and accounting, an overview of Georgia's budget process, a statistical overview of the state, the identification of acronyms, and a glossary of budget-related terms.

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 up to 3% of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. The 2000 Session of the General Assembly authorized an additional 1% to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve to be made at the Governor's discretion. The Governor authorized an additional $137,819,375 at the end of FY 2000. 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 15 years is as follows:

FY 2000 FY 1999 FY 1998 FY 1997 FY 1996 FY 1995 FY 1994 FY 1993 FY 1992 FY 1991 FY 1990 FY 1989 FY 1988 FY 1987 FY 1986

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:

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS

State law (50-27-1 et seq. O.C.G.A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and costs of providing technology training to teachers and repairing and maintaining instructional technology. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $550,000,000 for FY 2002. The Governor recommends $550,000,000 for the following programs.
VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOUR-YEAROLDS
This program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $237,868,003 in FY 2002 to serve 63,500 four-yearolds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 27,940 four-year-olds and all other private providers serving 35,560 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,500.58 in base earnings per student.
The reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for FY 2002 for the 36-week program represent a 2.5% increase over the FY 2001 rates and are as follows:
The total funding includes $20,247,000 for at-risk services
With a State-Certified Teacher:
Zone 1*$96.52 Zone 2*$87.84
With a Non-Certified Teacher:
Zone 1*$86.05 Zone 2*$77.37
* These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market rates for childcare sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Family and Children's Services in accordance with federal regulations. The zones are as follows: Zone 1 - Metro Atlanta and Zone 2 - All Other.
including resource coordination services and transportation for at-risk four-year-olds and their families. Governor Barnes recommends $4,839,913 to provide for a 4.5% salary increase for certified Pre-K teachers and a 2.5% increase for noncertified teachers. The Governor also recommends $675,000 to continue funding for Head Start projects.

HELPING OUTSTANDING PUPILS EDUCATIONALLY (HOPE) AND OTHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
These programs are designed to increase higher education participation and comp letion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for FY 2002 consists of the following components. Governor Barnes recommends additional funding to reflect an increase in the number of students graduating from a Georgia high school with a "B" average in core curriculum high school courses. The Governor also recommends that rising seniors at private colleges who attain a cumulative "B" average at the end of their junior year receive HOPE for their senior year. HOPE scholarship awards for eligible students attending public institutions will be equal to the cost of tuition and eligible fees plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE scholarship awards for freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. HOPE scholarships will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants (TEG).
All students working toward a diploma or certificate at public technical institutes and colleges in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and eligible fees, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students who are working towards a degree at a technical college must meet the same requirements for HOPE as a student enrolled in a public or private college. Each grant will be equal to the cost of tuition and eligible fees, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grants will be paid to the technical institutes. For any Georgia resident who earns a GED, the HOPE program provides a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education.
The HOPE program is administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. All non-administrative costs are distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in FY 2002 is projected to be $257,055,053.
The Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan, which will be forgiven if the individual participates in the reserve or in active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for FY 2002 is $663,960.
The Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of

61

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS

duty. The cost of this program in FY 2002 is $238,968.
The HOPE Teacher Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in FY 2002 is projected to be $3,500,000.
The Promise Scholarship program provides forgivable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their first two years of coursework in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, one-fourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, childcare, transportation or other expenses related to education. State funds recommended for this program total $1,792,000 for FY 2002.
The Promise II Scholarship provides forgivable loans to

teacher aides or paraprofessionals displaced when class sizes were lowered. This year 793 paraprofessionals are taking advantage of this program. The FY 2002 cost of this program is projected to be $932,666.

The Engineering Scholarships are provided as service cancelable loans to Georgia residents, who are engineering students at private accredited engineering universities in Georgia, and to retain them as engineers in the state. The Governor is recommending an increase in the annual loan from $3,000 to $3,500. Recipients must work in an engineeringrelated field one year for each $3,500 received. The cost of this program in FY 2002 is $760,000.

The total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $264,942,647.

CAPITAL AND TECHNOLOGY EXPENDITURES FOR EDUCATION

For FY 2002, the Governor recommends a total of $38,223,350

for the State Board of Education, $35,663,350, or $25 per FTE,

for local school technology, teacher training, and equipment,

$60,000 for computer equipment for the three state schools,

and $2,500,000 to purchase Assistive Technology for special

needs students. The Governor recommends $8,966,000 for the

University System of Georgia, $7,466,000 to continue funding

for the Chancellor's Initiatives, and $1,500,000 to continue the

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) provides a wide range of support services to all state agencies and many interested local governments and their entities.
DOAS receives most of its revenues by charging for services as they are rendered. Of an initial budget totaling $284,940,232 for FY 2001, direct state funds totaled only $46,230,008, or 16%.
The department operates through the Administration, Statewide Business Services, General Support Services, Risk Management, Information Technology and Customer Service divisions, which provide support services to state agencies.
DOAS SERVICES Information Technology Services designs, develops,
programs, manages and maintains data processing and telecommunication systems for agencies. The division provides centralized data processing services that include payroll, personnel, accounting, budgeting, vehicle management and inventory services adaptable to all agencies and furnishes agencies cost effective telephone, data, video (including teleconferencing, distance learning and telemedicine), voice processing, paging and radio communications services along with radio and telephone maintenance services.

This unit maintains a current computerized inventory of all state-owned buildings on Capitol Hill and state-occupied commercially leased space.
State Purchasing provides centralized purchasing services for state agencies, develops and administers statewide contracts, solicits bids, and issues purchase orders for agencies. The section monitors agencies' purchase practices for compliance with state regulations, and develops and maintains state specifications and standards for purchasing.
Central Supply Services purchases and warehouses commonly used, high-volume supplies and sells them to state agencies and local governments at a cost savings.
Motor Vehicle Services (MVS) operates a daily vehicle rental program for state agencies in the Metro Atlanta area and offers a comprehensive vehicle maintenance management plan on a cost per mile basis. MVS also provides full-service and self-service fuel and oil to state agencies in the Metro Atlanta area.
Printing Services provides reprographic printing services to all state agencies and other governmental organizations.

Surplus Property is responsible for acquiring property being surplused by state agencies and the federal government and making the property available to other state agencies and local government equitably and cheaply. These services are provided through warehouses located in Atlanta, Americus and Swainsboro.
Risk Management insures all state real and personal property through a self-insurance program that maintains adequate and economical coverage and assists state agencies and authorities in establishing safety programs and driver improvement programs designed to reduce accidents in their agencies.
Mail and Courier Services provides timely delivery of inter-office mail to Capitol Hill agencies, and furnishes courier delivery to user agencies not located on Capitol Hill.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services manages,
invests and disburses most state revenues. The Georgia Building Authority provides maintenance,
groundskeeping, food service, parking and security for the employees and facilities within the Capitol Hill office complex and other specified areas.
The State Properties Commission coordinates the purchase, management, inventory records and disposition of real property acquired and owned by the state.
The Health Planning Review Board conducts appeal hearings on decisions of the Health Planning Agency.
The Office of State Administrative Hearings conducts administrative hearings of contested cases for specified state agencies.
Senate Bill 465 established the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA), effective July 1, 2000. GTA is responsible for bringing a comprehensive, coordinated and cohesive information technology vision to state government by providing agencies with technical assistance in strategic planning, program management and human resources development. The Georgia Technology Authority provides leadership in research and development, and leverages state government's purchasing power by acquiring information technology supplies, materials, services and equipment for agencies.

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Strategies and Services

The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) provides an assortment of services to state agencies. A few of the areas in which the department furnishes agencies services or support are described below. The items featured are the: the Enterprise Data Center, Information Technology Consolidated Help Desk, Central Supply program, Electronic Commerce program, and the Project Management section of the Customer Service Division.
ENTERPRISE DATA CENTER The state's Enterprise Data center is a multi-platform
facility serving most of the state's data computing requirements. The center is comprised of enterprise server platforms for four operating systems (OS/390, UNIX, Unisys and NT). Enhancements consistent with maintaining a technologically up to date facility are planned for this year. The objective of this initiative is to ensure that the state's computing infrastructure is prepositioned to support the technology platform requirements of the state's business, as determined by the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA).
The majority of all state agencies rely on the Department of Administrative Services to provide an up to date environment to host the state's critical business applications. There are currently 192 applications running in the data center that support agency business missions. Many of these are "mission critical".
The long-range goal of the Enterprise Data Center is to stay current in technology and avoid a decrease in service levels to customers. In addition, with the creation of the Georgia Technology Authority, it is anticipated that most new technology deployments will be reliant on a technologically current and reliable platform. It is critical that platforms be ready to support many of the new systems as Georgia moves ahead in developing web business solutions with an enterprise strategy provided by the Georgia Technology Authority.
Prior to 1997, the Department Of Administrative Services maintained separate Telecommunications and Computer Services Divisions. Under this organization structure many "help desks" came into existence. Some were related to specific service areas and some were further subdivided between "external" and "internal" customers. The current multi-year initiative is to consolidate all information technology help desks services to a single point of contact.
The department anticipates that the "help desk" consolidation will position it to deliver better service to its customers.
CENTRAL SUPPLY PROGRAM This function distributes office supplies throughout
the state. Under the present system, Central Supply purchases supplies directly from vendors under contract

with the State, stores the supplies and resells them to state agencies. All state agencies are required to purchase core office supplies through this process. Core supplies are those items that are commonly used and generally purchased in high volume.
Following an administrative review of the Department's Purchasing and Warehouse programs, a recommendation was made to replace existing operations with a desktop delivery supplier. A project has been proposed to achieve cost savings through more efficient processing.
By outsourcing office supplies, DOAS will increase efficiency in the ordering of supplies and increase participation of the local small vendor community. The procurement project has 3 primary objectives;
Provide the State of Georgia with timely delivery of quality office products at discounted prices and lower overhead costs.
Enhance regional economic development statewide in accordance with current State direction. Many State agencies and institutions desire to use local vendors in order to improve their relationship within their communities.
Provide small community businesses with increased opportunities to contract with the State as a supplier.
These objectives will be accomplished by soliciting core office supplies through two separate Requests for Proposals (RFP). One RFP will solicit proposals from vendors to provide all core supplies statewide. A second RFP will solicit proposals from vendors to provide supplies to State agencies within one or more of the twelve State service delivery regions established by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) 50-4-7.
State agencies mandated to use Central Supply for their core supplies would be required to purchase from either the statewide vendor or a regional vendor under contract with the Department of Administrative Services. Agencies will be able to use any vendor under DOAS contract in any region. The contracts will also be available for use by other governments and organizations authorized, although not mandated, to purchase supplies from Central Supply.
ELECTRONIC COMMERCE Following the strategic direction of the Georgia
Technology Authority, the Department of Administrative Services will play a leadership role in implementing advanced technology in the area of electronic commerce. Proper planning, evaluation, and successful implementation by DOAS is needed for:
Electronic shopping access to state and agency volume discount agreements, Invitations to Bid (ITB), receiving bid responses, and increased competition.

89

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES -- Strategies And Services

Electronic purchasing using the internet technologies, digital signatures, smart cards, and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
Electronic billing for receiving and issuing bills for products and services.
Electronic payment using cash cards, increased use of the purchase cards, and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Like most agencies, DOAS is implementing electronic commerce plans. Conducting business through State Purchasing with our vendors via the internet is benefiting government agencies and Georgia businesses. Receiving or issuing electronic billings by agencies for products and services will increase processing efficiency. Significant reductions are possible in processing of paper checks by using the Purchase card (credit card) program and Electronic Funds Transfer. Increased use of purchase cards by all agencies will significantly reduce the up-front approval process as well as the payment process after the fact. This too, will benefit government agencies with a significant increase in efficiency. The prompt payment of bills will benefit businesses.
The Georgia Technology Authority will lead efforts in providing a trusted Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Establishing a Public Key Infrastructure to support the use of digital signatures is of global importance to the role Georgia plays in seizing e-business technology opportunities. DOAS, in partnership with the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA), will consistently implement authentication solutions based on GTA standards.

The long-range goal of the E-Commerce Program is to evolve DOAS into a business model that harnesses the capabilities of web technology and other forms of information technology to optimize business functions.
CUSTO MER SERVICE PROJECT MANAGEMENT Project Management was created as a section of the
Department's Customer Services Division in FY 2000. The vision for the new team was to bring additional, professional focus to the planning and implementation of services that were large and complex, had high risk or visibility, and involved the coordination of multiple service providers
The customer community being served by Project Management includes all DOAS customers. Examples are state agencies, the college and university system, authorities, and local city and county governments receiving DOAS products and services.
The Project Management section provides all design and implementation services needed to provide efficient and effective communications for information technology customers. Projects include voice, data and cabling services for internal and external customers moving, adding or changing their systems.
The approach is to bring to focus a design team as well as a project team. Transition from the old Telecommu nications Analyst job class to a new inclusive Systems Designer will allow DOAS to meet both the design needs and project management of customer directives.
The long-term goal is to provide seamless teaming to effect excellent service delivery from needs inception, to on time installation and accurate and timely billing.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Agriculture is responsible for enforcing laws and conducting programs safeguarding the quality of agricultural products and encouraging growth in the productivity and income of the state's agricultural industry. The department's efforts in these areas are also designed to protect farmers and consumers purchasing and selling agricultural products. The department's programs are operated jointly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
PLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION The role of this division is to administer and enforce
federal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, treated timber, boll weevil eradication, and other related programs for environmental protection. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests, and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to be sure that those commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled.
ANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION The Animal Industry Division is responsible for
eradicating brucellosis, tuberculosis, pseudorabies, etc., in livestock. Additional responsibilities include: promoting certification and accreditation of cattle herds, qualification and validation of swine herds, and maintaining strict surveillance programs to prevent reinfection through total testing at livestock markets; assisting livestock producers through disease surveillance programs and laboratory diagnostic work; and gathering and reporting information on the poultry markets of Georgia. The division enforces the Dead Animal Act, Poultry Carcass Regulations, Garbage Feed Law, Prompt Pay of Auctioned Livestock Bill and both inter-state and intra-state livestock movement. Additionally, the division procures fertilizer, feed and lime samples for laboratory testing, and enforces the provisions of the Georgia Meat Inspection Act of 1969.
MARKETING DIVISION The Marketing Division operates 6 regional markets
(Atlanta, Augusta, Colu mbus, Macon, Savannah, and

Thomasville) and 17 seasonal/local market places. This division collects and distributes market information on Georgia agricultural products, administers various marketing programs, and locates and develops new international markets for Georgia products. They also provide supervision for the eight Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions.
FUEL AND MEASURES This function ensures equity between buyers and
sellers in commercial transactions by inspecting weighing and measuring devices to verify that the prescribed level of accuracy for these devices is maintained. To insure compliance with applicable laws, the division enforces advertising laws regarding motor fuel and conducts examination/inspections of state warehouse and grain dealer. The division also inspects and tests commercial weighing devices, including scales, liquefied petroleum gas meters, milk tanks, moisture meters, gasoline pumps, transport tank trucks, fuel oil terminals and bulk plants.
CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION The primary function of this division is to inspect retail
food establishments (i.e., grocery stores) for contamination and adulteration of retail food products. To ensure that all requirements are being maintained according to minimum federal and state standards, the division operates a dairy inspection program on farm and processing plants operating in Georgia, and provides information and statistics about milk and the dairy program to the industry and consumers.
SEED TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION
This division produces, processes, treats, stores and distributes to seed producers and farmers foundation agricultural seed stocks of 18 or more different crops comprising 60 to 65 different varieties and hybrids.
AUTHORITY Title 5, 42-208, Georgia Code Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Strategies and Services

The Department of Agriculture hosts a variety of programs and services in its regulation of agriculture and agriculture related industries, as well as in its education and protection of the public on agriculture and associated areas (i.e., retail food stores, petroleum products, meat and poultry inspections, etc.). The following strategies and services illustrate activities occurring in the Food and Milk Safety, Pesticide and Pesticide Container Disposal, Agriculture Product Promotion, Fuel and Measures, Structural Pest Control, and the Animal Protection programs.
FOOD AND MILK SAFETY The Food and Milk Safety Program consists of the
following types of inspections: retail food store, meat and milk. The rising number of non-traditional retail sales establishments expanding into the retail food sector prompted the department to begin implementing a new electronic inspection system to cope with the added workload and other demands these developments in the retail food industry have placed on the department's inspectors. Additionally, the department's retail food inspectors are also continuing to receive advanced level training in all areas of food processing, including in-store meat processing, seafood handling, deli operations and bakery operations in order to remain abreast of developments in the retail food field.
Meat inspectors currently inspect and license 148 red meat slaughter and processing facilities for the purpose of assuring the production of wholesome, unadulterated and properly labeled meat/poultry products. The Meat Inspection program's responsibilities were expanded in 1995 with the commencement of the voluntary inspection program concerning ratite (i.e. ostrich, emu, rhea) slaughter and processing. The ratite meat program allows red meat slaughter/processing plants to be approved to slaughter/process ratite meat for sale to the public. Another event affecting the entire meat inspection program is the federal government's stipulation that state meat inspection programs convert to the Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS). This system, now fully implemented, electronically generates an objective inspection schedule and criteria based on the specified meat establishment's processes and compliance history. The long range goal of the meat inspection program is to provide inspections that are comparable to those conducted at federally inspected establishments in degree and scope, and to effectively cross-utilize resources in performing these inspections whenever possible.
Milk safety inspectors inspect dairy facilities for compliance with health and safety regulations concerning milk and dairy products. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected the Georgia Milk Safety Program as one of its state pilots in the

development and testing of a new electronic inspection system to eventually be used nationwide.

Note: The drop in FY 2000 inspections is due to a computerized reporting program that provides only active establishments.

PESTICIDE AND PESTICIDE CONTAINER DISPOSAL
The Pesticide Division is coordinating a program in conjunction with local governments and organizations to collect plastic pesticide containers for recycling. Presently, 30 counties are involved in this endeavor. The program is projected to recycle 200,000 pounds of chipped plastic in FY 2001 through these efforts compared to the 180,000 pounds recycled in FY 2000. The division is also sponsoring a program known as Georgia Clean Day, through a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and funds from the Department of Natural Resources, to collect pesticides which can no longer be legally used. In this program, targeted illegal pesticides are collected and disposed of by authorized disposal firms to prevent illegal disposal of and environmental contamination from these outlawed pesticides. Since FY 1995, pesticide collections amounting to 892,688 pounds have been made in 76 counties. Projected collections for FY 2001 represent an additional 250,000 pounds.
AGRICULTURE PRODUCT PROMOTION
The department is continuing its activities to promote Georgia agricultural products in campaigns directed at the domestic and international markets. These campaigns use the theme "Georgia...Always In Good Taste" in publicizing and displaying Georgia products at food and

105

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -- Strategies and Services

trade shows nationally and internationally. The department is also pursuing broadening the use of the "Georgia...Always In Good Taste" logo in concert with its product promotion efforts. The department is working with large retailers in identifying and marketing Georgia grown and processed items.
FUEL AND MEASURES The Fuel and Measures Division is responsible for
regulating the accuracy of all commercial weighing and measuring devices, and the quality of petroleum products. The division has upgraded the six trucks used in inspecting and testing heavy weigh scales to comply with the latest revised federal Department of Commerce standards for large weigh scale testing. The division's petroleum fuel and antifreeze inspection and testing outfits inspected 7,500 service stations and tested approximately 14,748 petroleum fuel and antifreeze samples for FY 2000.
STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL
The Structural Pest Control Program regulates firms, certified operators and employees involved in supplying

household pest control services for controlling ants, roaches and other insects, along with wood destroying organisms such as termites, wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi. Program staff also conducts inspections of dwellings and products treated for these pests. These inspections verify that the dwellings and products have been properly treated for the pest(s) in question.
ANIMAL PROTECTION The department enforces the Animal Protection Act,
which requires pet industry operators (i.e. pet dealers/brokers, breeders, animal shelters, kennel operators, etc.) to satisfy a variety of standards before being issued an operating license. The Act's purposes are to prevent unhealthy pets from being sold to the public, and to protect animals from abuse or neglect while they are awaiting sale. Inspectors also enforce federal laws regarding the use of controlled drugs for euthanasia at animal shelters, and monitor federal certificates of veterinary inspection and rabies inoculation records. The 11 inspectors assigned to this licensing and enforcement program inspect over 2,500 establishments and respond to nearly 1,400 complaints annually.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
Strategies and Services

The mission of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is to improve the quality of life of all Georgians through local planning and community development programs and the building and fostering of local leadership capabilities.
DCA serves as the Governor's liaison with local communities and local government associations in community development matters and housing issues. Community development and technical assistance are provided to local governments primarily through the divisions of Business and Financial Assistance, Planning and Environmental Management, Housing Finance, Rural Development, and Community Services. Housing assistance is provided through Housing Finance.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The department provides economic development and
community investment assistance to local governments through administration of a number of grant programs. The federally funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) supports several programs that assist Georgia's communities.
The CDBG Employment Incentive Program (EIP) funds projects that result in new or retained jobs for lowand moderate-income Georgians. Georgia communities have also established Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) programs through the EIP. RLFs provide loans to community organizations that provide support for new or expanding local businesses.
The majority of CDBG projects are regular competitive grants, which fund public facility projects that improve the quality of life in the local community. These projects can include the extension of water lines, installment of sewer systems, construction of curbs and gutters, and other public infrastructure improvements. CDBG has also funded housing rehabilitation projects and the construction of community facilities such as health centers and senior centers.
The Regional Economic Business Assistance Grant (REBA) provides awards for direct economic development assistance. Governor Barnes recommends that the state funded program be transferred to the OneGeorgia Fund and is attached to the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. OneGeorgia Fund was created last year to assist rural areas in Georgia with economic development projects. While the REBA program will still be administered by DCA, transferring the program offers a "one stop" process for economic development assistance to communities throughout Georgia.
REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT In recent years, the Department of Community
Affairs has focused attention on the many community problems that transcend city and county boundaries. The

department has addressed these issues by providing financial and technical assistance to Georgia's communities. In the area of financial assistance, the targeted regional assistance grant program was created in FY 1998 for multi-county or regional projects. In an effort to strengthen the state's support for community-led economic development, the department partnered with DITT in FY 1999 to provide more technical assistance and state resources for regional and rural development.
Regional development teams consisting of 2 DCA representatives in each of 11 planning regions outside of Atlanta were implemented to assist communities in identifying state resources, to facilitate regional or multigovernmental projects, and to provide technical assistance and training to local governments in community leadership development. A Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders advises each regional team.
In the Amended FY 2001 Budget Governor Barnes has recommended $1,500,000 to match private and local funds to initiate a new downtown development revolving loan fund called the Georgia Cities Foundation which will be in the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority. The Georgia Cities Foundation is a non-profit subsidiary of the Georgia Municipal Association. Its purpose is to make Georgia's downtowns more livable and economically prosperous through public and private partnerships and to facilitate the redevelopment and reuse of downtown areas throughout Georgia. Its focus will be on measurable short-term results with long range potential for economic viability.
The Quality Growth Program is another new program in FY 2002 that will encourage implementation of the types of quality growth best practices that have been very successful in other parts of the country. The initial program will provide flexible funding to promote implementation of quality growth initiatives throughout Georgia. Among other things, the Quality Growth Program will address quality growth projects outside the scope of existing grant or loan sources, assist communities with planning and assistance in developing innovative regulations or incentive programs for smart growth concepts, and provide seed money for "brick and mortar" projects exemplifying quality growth principals. It is anticipated that, at minimum, cities, counties, qualifying non-profit organizations, and Georgia colleges or universities would be eligible grant recipients.
LOCAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS DCA has broad authority to provide grants and serves
as the administrative agent for projects placed in their budget by the Governor and General Assembly for local governments and school boards.
The Governor has recommended Local Assistance Grant funds for various projects in the Amended FY 2001

128

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services

Budget. These projects support tourism and other growth-enhancing activities throughout the state.
HOUSING ASSISTANCE The Housing and Finance Division of the Department
of Community Affairs administers programs aimed at increasing the number of first time homeowners in Georgia. The state and federally funded HOME programs offer qualified first time homebuyers low interest loans and down payment assistance.
In addition, this program offers multifamily housing assistance to encourage developers to increase the number of low-income residential rental developments they build or rehabilitate. Developers can obtain public and private financing from a number of sources including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and Georgia Housing Trust Fund monies.
The department also administers the federally funded Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act programs and the state funded Georgia Housing Trust Fund for the Homeless. The Trust Fund Commission awards funds to nonprofit organizations and units of local government to support the operation of emergency shelters, transitional housing and essential services for the homeless. The Commission also provides technical and financial assistance to supportive housing developments that serve individuals and families with special housing needs.
RENTAL ASSISTANCE Another housing assistance area is the Housing and
Urban Development, Section 8 program. The department administers this program in 149 of 159 counties, providing low-income families with quality affordable rental housing.
The program is administered through regional offices in Albany, Athens, Carrollton, Eastman, and Waycross. Rent subsidies are provided to landlords who agree to maintain their rental properties at the required Housing Quality Standards and to rent to qualified low-income families.
The Family Self-Sufficiency program is an effort to reduce participant dependency on Section 8 and other public support. Public and private sector resources provide education, counseling, job placement assistance, job training and other supportive services to help participants become self sufficient.
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
The Planning and Environmental Management Division is designed to strengthen local governments planning efforts. This includes not only helping those local governments to invest their money wisely in roads, schools, water and sewers, but also guidance in developing local comprehensive plans, reviewing local plans and assisting officials in bringing them into compliance with state planning requirements and

providing technical and financial assistance for implementing the plans.
In FY 2002 the Governor has recommended an additional position to help with such review of local plans and to assist locals entities with their comprehensive plans as designated in O.C.G.A 36-70-27 (HB 489) with changes passed in 1997 which established the Service Delivery Strategy Law. This law requires each county and all cities to agree on a strategy for the future delivery of services throughout the county. The initial role of DCA was to conduct a compliance review of each strategy to verify that it met the requirements of the law. All 159 strategies were reviewed during FY 2000 and all local governments will be preparing required updates to their strategies between 2001 and 2006. DCA is now commonly called on to help counties and cities amend their strategies and meet statutory requirements and to provide guidance on more efficient and effective service delivery arrangements. DCA will ensure legal requirements are met which require that future state financial assistance, grants, loans, and permits be consistent with this strategy.
GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY
The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities.
Through FY 2000, GEFA has approved loans totaling $964 million for water, sewer and solid waste projects. Since 1985, GEFA has provided financing, coordination, and education for 799 projects, serving 313 cities, counties, and public authorities. These 313 jurisdictions represent 41% of the potential customer entities covered by GEFA's mission. In FY 2000, 72% of GEFA loan approvals were repeat customers. Over the 13 years of the water and sewer loan program's operation, GEFA has never had a single default.
While the loan program is open to any local government in Georgia that is financially capable of repaying the loan, most of the loan recipients are smaller cities and counties. Of approved GEFA loans, 70% of the communities currently served are under 10,000 in population.
The Governor is recommending $17 million in G.O. bonds in the Amended FY 2001 Budget to continue state support for the water and sewer loan program. This installment will add additional money to the Authority's state revolving loan fund. This repayment stream will insure that Georgia communities will always have funds available to address necessary water and sewer infrastructure needs. In addition, the Authority administers the disbursement of both the Federal Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the Federal Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and the Governor has included $8 million in bonds in the Amended FY 2001 Budget as state matching funds.

129

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services

The Amended FY 2001 Budget recommendation includes $3 million in G.O. bonds for the remediation and removal of state-owned fuel storage tanks on state-owned land. In 1998, the state met federal requirements for the replacement and upgrade or closure of storage tanks. Georgia must now comply with current law that states closed tanks must be removed and sites remediated within 12 months of closing. Due to the abundance of state tanks that were closed, the Environmental Protection Division is allowing flexibility on the deadline as long as a viable program is in place to address the issue. Of the 2,150 tanks on state-owned land, 489 are in compliance and will be retained, 561 have been removed, and an additional 1,100 require further action.
$500,000 in state general funds is recommended in the Amended FY 2001 Budget for the removal of stateowned fuel storage tanks on non-state-owned land. While the state is responsible for the clean up of these tanks according to federal law, the use of general obligation funds for these projects is not possible. This appropriation is found in the Georgia Building Authority budget which is attached to the Department of Administrative Services.
GEORGIA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) was created by the General Assembly in 1999 at the urging of Governor Barnes. The Governor formed GRTA to ensure that metropolitan Atlanta can sustain its economic growth while maintaining the excellent quality of life that has made the area so attractive to businesses and workers.
The authority, which is led by a 15-member board of directors, is charged with combating traffic congestion, air pollution and poorly planned development in the 13county Atlanta region that is currently designated as a

"non-attainment" area under the federal Clean Air Act. GRTA's main role is to review, approve, and help implement transportation plans for the region that will bring it into compliance with air quality standards. If other regions of the state are designated as "nonattainment" areas, they will also fall under GRTA's purview.
As GRTA moves forward in its second year, Governor Barnes recommends those projects that will allow them to continue in the challenging task of bringing the region back into attainment and plan the future development of the region. Of the projects funded in the Amended FY 2001 Budget, $1,042,600 is to match federal funds to conduct Phase II of circulation studies of the Cumberland/Galleria and Perimeter Center areas, to purchase additional vans for a regional van pool, to continue studies on the implementation of a regional bus system, and to provide funds for in-plant inspections of buses as required by federal law for the Clayton County Bus System. An additional $600,000 allows GRTA to further aid their tasks as a regional agency with regional goals measurement and implementation studies, nonattainment area and Transportation Management Association (TMAs) activities and transportation planning activities
The Governor also recommends $1,350,000 in the Amended FY 2001 Budget to continue contract planning, engineering and program management functions related to the initiation of passenger rail service in Georgia. These funds are complemented by an additional $1,350,000 recommended in the FY 2002 budget for the Department of Transportation. The use of these funds will be coordinated by the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, the Department of Transportation and the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority through an inter-agency Progra m Management Team, bringing the goal of passenger rail service into reality.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Community Health (DCH) began operations on July 1, 1999. The agency was established by an act of the General Assembly that consolidated four agencies involved in the purchasing, planning, and regulation of health care in the state of Georgia. DCH was a response to the growing concern about the fragmentation of healthcare delivery at the state level. Via consolidation, DCH is expected to maximize its health care purchasing power and create administrative efficiency in the state's health care system. The department is also charged with planning for coverage for the estimated 1.3 million citizens that currently do not have health insurance.
The major divisions comprising DCH include the Division of Medical Assistance, the Division of Health Planning, and the Division of Public Employee Health Benefits. Also, parts of DCH are offices targeting specific populations (Office of Women's Health and the Office of Minority Health) and regional health care issues (Office of Rural Health Serv ices). A nine-member board governs the agency.
There are three Boards administratively attached to the department, including the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners, which licenses physicians; the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce, which provides financial aid to medical schools and residency training programs; and the State Medical Education Board, which administers medical scholarships and loans to promote medical practice in rural areas.

DIVISION OF HEALTH PLANNING Formerly, the State Health Planning Agency,
Georgia's health planning program was originally established to contain health care costs by avoiding unnecessary duplication of services, equipment and facilities. The division helps to enforce quality-of-care standards and encourages providers to assume a share of responsibilities for the health care needs of low-income citizens.
The division also administers the Certificate-of-Need (CON) program, which approves the expansion of health care services and facilities. The Health Planning Review Board (administratively attached to the Department of Administrative Services) conducts appeal hearings on CON decisions. Additionally, the division works with the Health Strategies Council to develop policies for health care services.
DIVISION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFITS
The Division of Public Employees Health Benefits administers the State Health Benefit Plan, which provides health insurance coverage to more than a half million state employees, teachers, retirees and their dependents.
AUTHORITY Title XIX of the Social Security Act; Title 31-5A,
Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

DIVISION OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE The largest division in the department, the Division
of Medical Assistance administers the Medicaid program, which provides health care for persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or indigent. State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government paying for about 60 percent of health care costs. A broad array of health care services is available to address the needs of those covered by the program, including hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services.
The Division of Medical Assistance also administers the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF), which completed its tenth year of operation in 2000. The ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians. The division is also responsible for the successful PeachCare for Kids Program, Georgia's version of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. PeachCare provides medical and dental coverage for children whose parents' income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, but who cannot afford private health insurance. Current eligibility allows children in families with incomes between 185% and 235% of the federal poverty level to participate. A modest premium of $7.50 per month is required for children over the age of five. Families pay no more than $15 per month in premiums if they have more than two children.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Strategies and Services

STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN During FY 2000, the State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP)
took several steps to end operating losses that began in FY 1997. Effective January 1, 2000, the Plan discontinued contracting for the BlueCross BlueShield Prudent Buyer Program, replacing it with individual contracts between the State and each acute-care hospital in Georgia tied to Medicaid reimbursement. Estimated savings from the new contracts are $18 million for FY 2000 and $33 million for FY 2001. In July 2000, the employer contribution rate for teachers was increased from 9.26% to 13.1% of state-based salaries. The new rate provides equal employer contributions between state agencies and local school systems and is expected to increase Plan revenue by $170 million for FY 2001. The new Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan Option replaced the Standard Option indemnity plan effective July 1, 2000 and offers a higher in-network level of benefits coverage while reducing plan expenditures. Anticipated first-year savings are expected to be as much as $25 million. In FY 2002, the Plan will implement a three-tier prescription drug co-payment program to help control escalating prescription drug costs while continuing to offer Plan members a choice in selecting any covered drug.
In FY 2001, the results of these efforts are expected to reduce the annual operating deficit to less than 1% of the overall plan cost. In FY 2002, the plan is projected to eliminate the annual operating deficit.
MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY EXPANSIONS Medicaid served 1.3 million Georgians in FY 2000
with benefit expenditures totaling almost $3.4 billion, an average of $2,485 per person. In FY 2000, the Department initiated three new Medicaid expansions. The income limit for Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women and their infants was increased from 200% of the federal poverty level ($34,100 for a family of four) to 235% ($40,072). For FY 2002, an estimated 3,400 additional uninsured pregnant women and infants will be served. The department began providing family planning services to post-partum women for two years after delivery. By helping women plan future pregnancies, birth outcomes are improved and infant mortality declines. The department implemented an expansion of the Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA) program from one year to two years for families who lost Medicaid because of employment. Despite an increase in income, transitional eligibles still have a hard time affording health insurance.

PEACHCARE FOR KIDS PeachCare for Kids has built upon the success of the
first year by continuing aggressive enrollment of eligible children. With an expansion in eligibility from 200% to 235% of the federal poverty level, PeachCare for Kids has enrolled over 106,000 of the estimated 143,000 eligible children. Grants were given to 24 community groups for targeted grassroots outreach to uninsured children. PeachCare for Kids has also streamlined the referral and enrollment process for children identified as Medicaid eligible.
PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGER Several pharmacy cost containment measures have
been identified and implemented since the execution of a pharmacy benefit management (PBM) contract with Express Scripts, Inc.
Through the use of a PBM, concurrent drug utilization review (DUR) edits have been put into place to prevent early refills, duplication of refills, and drug/drug interactions. Additionally, there will be retrospective fraud and abuse claims review performed in conjunction with the PBM.
The rebate program for the State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) and the Board of Regents Health Plan (BORHP) has been expanded, as has the Georgia Maximum Allowable Cost (MAC) list for the Medicaid Program.
Enforcement and recovery efforts on Most Favored Nations Pricing have been expanded. In addition, the Department of Community Health (DCH) is working with Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) and the Justice Department to ensure that manufacturers are providing Georgia with the best prices and rebates required by law.
A tiered co-payment program has been developed for all the DCH programs based on recipient/member use of preferred versus non-preferred drugs. Provider incentive programs have also been established to promote dispensing of generics and preferred drugs.
In an effort to address medical costs overall, disease management programs are being initiated to assist in the early detection of appropriate therapy and compliance with drug regimen.
Finally, a review is currently being made on institutional pharmacies that serve the highest drug utilizers to determine areas for improvement.
As outlined above, significant efforts are being made in the area of pharmacy cost control. Additional pharmacy policy changes designed to reign in inappropriate usage continue to be identified and evaluated for appropriateness.

Notes:

1 - The Department of Community Health, which was created in FY 2000, has spent the last year clarifying and planning for its mission

and role in providing access to healthcare for Georgians; therefore, the department's goals and desired results are incomplete. Goals and

desired results will be refined and completed during FY 2002.

2 - The number of persons eligible for the programs are based upon 1990 census data.

3 - Because DCH is a new state agency, the data on FY 2000 results are not available.

4 - Indigent/charity care data are collected on a calendar year basis.

5 - A ratio of 1: 1:5 means, for example, that for every one person using services in rural areas of Georgia, 1 1/2 persons are using

services statewide.

6 - Advances in medicine have permitted shorter hospital stays for most illnesses. However, since providers are paid by DRG (Diagnosis

Related Group) which results in financial incentives for discharging patients early, the department reviews this measure to ensure that

patients are not being discharged earlier than is medically advisable.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Corrections (DOC) administers the prison and probation sentences of offenders adjudicated by Georgia courts. More than 43,500 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 136,500 offenders are on probation, 4,400 of whomare in residential programs.
The mission of the DOC is to protect the public and staff by managing offenders either in a safe and secure environment or through effective community supervision according to their needs and risks. In collaboration with the community and other agencies, DOC provides programs that offer offenders the opportunity to become responsible, productive, law-abiding citizens.
As part of its strategic plan, the department has developed the following priorities:
Provide adequate prison system capacity. Provide the highest level of community-based supervision to those probationers who pose the greatest risk. Operate offender programs that reduce risk to staff and public by stressing offender work, discipline, accountability and responsibility for harm done. Support victim's rights regarding notification, restitution and impact of crime. Improve and increase linkages with other agencies. Continue public/private partnerships and outsourcing. Find and implement better methods and technological tools to communicate and share information. Enhance efforts to recruit, maintain and train highly qualified staff. Ensure effective and efficient operations.
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured, secure
environment, which removes from the community those offenders who pose a high risk. DOC provides legally mandated services in the areas of physical and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services and recreation.
DOC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the system and the community. Inmates and probationers work on prison farms; in food preparation, laundry, and construction; in facility and landscape maintenance; and performing factory work in Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants.
The types of DOC institutions include: State Prisons (38). These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than 1 year of incarceration to serve.

County Prisons (24). The state pays a subsidy to county institutions to house and supervise state inmates. Inmates assigned to the county prisons typically work on roadway or construction projects for the county in which they are housed.
Inmate Boot Camps, Probation Boot Camps, Probation Detention Centers (26). These 3 programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol.
Transitional Centers (6). These community-based centers are designed to allow offenders nearing the end of their prison term to prepare for life in the community. DOC requires offenders to have jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center and support their families.
Probation Diversion Centers (20). Judges may sentence offenders to diversion centers as an alternative to prison. Like transitional center residents, offenders in the diversion centers work and pay room and board, restitution, fines, and family support.
Private Prisons (3). D. Ray James prison, owned and operated by Cornell Corrections and prisons in Coffee and Wheeler counties owned and operated by Correction Corporation of America house state sentenced inmates. Like state prisons, these facilities are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve.
Probation is designed to enforce judicial sentences in the community. The Statewide Probation Act of 1956 laid the legal foundation for the Probation Division. The law provides for standardized supervision by sworn peace officers of those offenders sentenced to probation, either directly from court on a straight probation sentence, or after completing a specified term of imprisonment on a split sentence.
The mission of the Probation Division is to serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation.
Probationers are required to be employed and to pay restitution, fees, fines, and court costs. Many probationers are also required to perform community service, unpaid labor for the local community. Probationers are supervised with increasing levels of intensity in accordance with the risk they pose to the community. Requirements at these varied supervision levels may include adherence to a curfew, wearing an electronic device to monitor movements, drug testing, and home and job visits by the probation officer.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS Strategies and Services

The Governor's budget recommendation for the Department of Corrections (DOC) represents a continued effort to balance the department's available resources. The Governor's main objective is to ensure that proper prison bed space is available for Georgia's violent offenders, while at the same time, offer a less costly alternative bed for the non-violent offender. As of November 2000, the prison population represented 44,215 inmates. Georgia's prison population by the end of FY 2001 is projected to total 47,289 inmates.
BED -SPACE MANAGEMENT A combination of longer prison sentences and tighter
parole restrictions have created a continued need for the Department of Corrections (DOC) to strategically manage its bed space and available resources. The following initiatives represent this effort.
Maintaining a prison occupancy rate of 99%. Increase private prison capacity to 4,500. Increase county work camp capacity by 1,000
beds. Increase transitional center beds by 1,100. Expand two existing state prisons by 384 beds. Increase Diversion Center capacity by 900 beds. Increase Detention Center capacity by 192 beds. Open a 192 bed residential substance abuse
treatment center.

The Governor's effort to provide appropriate resources

is displayed in his FY 2001 Amended Budget and FY 2002

Budget recommendations.

The Governor's

recommendation includes operational funding for 6,111

additional beds and capital funding for 700 additional beds.

These beds represent an appropriate mixture of

conventional hard prison beds as well as alternative beds.

The term prison bed is inclusive of state prison beds,

private prison beds, transitional centers, county work camps

and boot camps. As of October 2000, the current prison

bed capacity was 44,264 beds. Between October 2000 and

the end of FY 2001, 2,379 additional beds will come on-

line. These beds include a 1,000-bed expansion to the

private prisons, 384 additional beds at Dodge and Walker

state prisons and 995 additional county work camp beds.

For FY 2002, the Governor has included funding for an

additional 2,306 beds. Included is the transfer of Johnson

State Prison back to the Department of Corrections.

Johnson State Prison was given to the Department of

Juvenile Justice several years ago and operated as a youth

development center. This will provide an additional 1,100

state prison beds. In addition to state prison beds, the

Governor is providing operating funds for an additional 900

transitional center beds and 306 county work camp beds.

The transitional center addition nearly doubles its current

921- bed capacity.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services

In addition to the expansion of the prison bed capacity, the Governor has included in his recommendation funding for additional alternative beds. Alternative beds are defined as diversion center beds, detention center beds and probation boot camp beds. As of October 2000, the alternative bed capacity was 4,834 beds.
For the remainder of FY 2001, 384 additional beds are planned to be on-line. The addition includes the 192-bed Paulding Detention Center and the 192-bed Bainbridge Substance Abuse Treatment Center. The Bainbridge Center represents phase I of a two-phase project. The second phase represents an additional 192 beds.
Included in the Governor's Capital Outlay recommendation is construction funding for a 200-bed detention center in Butts County and a 500-bed detention center in Fulton County. Including past capital appropriation, there are an additional 382 prison beds and 2,013 alternative beds that will be available for future growth.
The Governor's FY 2002 recommendation provides operational funding for an additional 1,042 alternative beds. Of these beds, 550 are diversion center beds and 492 are probation detention center beds. The diversion center beds include 225 expansion beds to existing facilities and 325 beds dispersed among three private diversion centers.
Two facilities account for the expansion of probation detention center beds. This includes opening the 192-bed Terrell Detention Center and contracting with Irwin County for a 300-bed detention center.
In summary the Governor's budget recommendation accomplishes the mission of ensuring public safety while using the tax dollar in the most efficient and effective manner. The Go vernor's recommendation provides an additional 4,685 prison beds for Georgia's violent offenders. The Department of Corrections will have available 48,949, prison beds by the end of FY 2002 to serve the growing inmate population. At the same time the Governor is making available an additional 1,426 alternative beds for non-violent offenders.

probation. Probationers, unless revoked to the Department of Corrections, are under the jurisdiction of the local judiciary and not the department. The judge decides whether the probationer is jailed or not. Code Section 1710-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated designates the local county jail as one of the options the judge can use to incarcerate a probation violator. The county is not paid a subsidy for a probation violator. During October of 2000, the Georgia Jail Summary reported the number of individuals in county jails at 29,366. The number consisted of 17,670 awaiting trial, 4,634 county inmates, 4,160 other inmates and 2,902 sentenced to state prisons or parole / probation issues. Of the 2,902 state inmates, 974 accounted for inmates on the departments jail backlog count. The remaining accounted for parole and probation issues.

JAIL BACKLOG County jails are operated by local authorities and are
used for pre-trial detention and post conviction confinement pending pick-up by DOC. The department pays a jail subsidy rate of $20 per day for inmates that have been sentenced to a state prison and are awaiting pick-up in excess of 15 days after the department has received a sentencing package. At the beginning of FY 2000, Georgia's jail backlog stood at 939. By the end of FY 2000, it had fallen to 811. FY 2000 represents the lowest sustained level in over 10 years. As of October 2000, the current jail backlog was 974.
The Board of Pardons and Paroles uses county jails to house parolees who have violated parole. County jails are also used to house probationers who have violated

PROBATION SUPERVISION To effectively meet the department's mission of public
safety, the probation division uses a Risk-Based Supervision Model to supervise probationers. Using an offender classification system and this supervision model helps insure that those offenders presenting the greatest risk to Georgia's citizens will receive the greatest share of the supervision resources.
The implementation of the Risk-Based Supervision Model came in response to a changing probation population and an increasing caseload. As of the end of FY 2000 there

161

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services

were 85,855 probationers on active supervision and 46,579 probationers in administrative status. The passing of Senate Bill 474 restricts the department form accepting additional misdemeanant probationers. With nearly 22% of the supervised probationers being misdemeanants, it was assumed that Senate Bill 474 would reduce the current officer caseload. Thus far the officer has not seen a reduction. Although, the number of misdemeanant probationers has reduced by 4%, the felony probation population has increased by 3%.
The change in the probation population has required the Probation Division to prioritize the allocation of its field resources. The model sets caseload capacity limits for maximum and high levels of supervision. Restricted caseload size will allow officers to spend more time in the field, making unscheduled visits to offenders' homes and places of business, enforcing strict probation conditions, and holding offenders accountable for their actions. Frequency of probation officer contact with the probationer is emphasized. Minimum contact requirements have been set for each classification level.
Georgia's Probation Classifications / FY 2000 Year End Probationer Count

The Governor's recommendation included funding for the implementation and expansion of the State Corrections Repository of Information System (SCRIBE). Eventually, SCRIBE will replace the handwritten field books and provide the officers up to date information about their caseload.

The model also establishes a Specialized Caseload category composed of offenders who have committed sexual crimes against children or crimes of family violence. The supervision for these offenders includes home searches for illicit sexual materials, registration with local law enforcement, and monitored treatment attendance. Specially trained officers supervise these caseloads. The goal is to protect victims and to help prevent any additional crimes against new victims. Due to the large probationer caseloads, the department is in need of an automated caseload management system.

EDUCATION The Department of Corrections currently has 21
Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) sites providing over 15,000 hours of instruction to inmates statewide. Enrollment has increased from 7,853 in FY 1999 to 7,921 in FY 2000. The number of GED tests administered increased form 3,659 in FY 1999 to 4,599 in FY 2000.
The Department of Corrections, utilizing the GSAMS, has contracted with Thomas Technical Institute to provide GED classes at all sites, introduce computer literacy to the inmates, conduct vocational programs for the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program and provide on the job training for work detail supervisors.
In FY 2000, nine sites continue to serve as training centers providing prisoners access to formal vocational programming. The Governor has included in his budget recommendation funding for an additional 17 vocational education programs.

FACILITIES OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
The Facilities Operations and Maintenance program is the largest program within the agency. This program provides the foundation, which supports the infrastructure of the Georgia National Guard. The Department of Defense currently manages approximately 1,200 buildings and facilities throughout the state, the majority of which are licensed for use by the state. Most of these facilities are 100% federally funded for operations and maintenance, and a significant number require 25% matching state funds. The industrial type facilities and the heavy equipment repair shops fall into this category. The balance of the facilities is comprised of 72 National Guard armories and a number of office buildings at headquarters. These facilities are 100% state supported as required by law
In addition to the portion of the program that receives federal and state appropriations, the armories are rented as community centers, used for meetings and conferences, voting precincts, and a host of other activities.

program expansion only one in six applicants could be accepted due to the constraints of the program's resources. The program is delivered in two segments twice a year, a 22-week residential phase, and a post residential phase. During residency, military personnel function as platoon leaders and mentors, providing supervision, guidance and training in a rigorous environment that stresses academic achievement and the attainment of competency in basic life skills such as balancing a checkbook, establishing and managing financial credit, and social interaction. Students are required to wear uniforms, attend academic, life skills, and physical training classes, and perform various type of community service.
Upon successful completion of the residential phase the students enter the post-residential phase of the program, which provides continued counseling and job placement assistance. Each student is assigned to a mentor who provides guidance and support as the students transition from the program to self-sufficient, productive members of society. The students' progress is monitored for a minimum of six months after graduation.

MILITARY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
The Military Relations program provides assistance to approximately 13,000 Georgia National Guardsmen, active and retired, as well as their families, during military mobilizations. The program also provides information and assistance to retirees in order to secure for them all of the benefits and entitlements for which they legally qualify. Casualty assistance is also provided to the families of deceased guard members.
STATE DEFENSE FORCE The Georg ia State Defense Force provides for an
organized, trained, disciplined, rapid response volunteer force and civilian relief organization in impending or actual emergencies to assure the welfare and safety of the citizens.
This program provides well-trained and equipped volunteer individuals and leaders to perform duties as they may be called upon. These activities include search and rescues, which augment the ability of other agencies to perform their missions.
YOUTH CHALLENGE PROGRAM The Youth Challenge Academy, which is
operated by the Georgia National Guard, provides at-risk youth between the ages of 16 and 19 the opportunity to earn a High School diploma or a High School Graduation Equivalency Degree (GED). The program is set in a military environment at a campus located at Ft Stewart in Hinesville and an expansion campus established in September 2000 at Ft. Gordon in Augusta. Prior to the

The Youth Challenge program in Georgia is recognized as one of the most successful in the nation and continues to provide a valuable service to the State of Georgia and its citizens.
The average cost per student enrolled in the Youth Challenge Program is approximately $10,000. Governor Barnes has recommended $1,415,000 in increased state funds in FY 2002 to provide for operating expenses in support of this important program. These recommended state funds will be matched with federal matching funds of $5 million.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE -- Strategies And Services

COUNTER DRUG OPERATIONS The Georgia National Guard provides ground
reconnaissance and observation support to requesting drug law enforcement agencies (DLEAs) by providing personnel and equipment necessary to perform operations for the purpose of drug interdiction and eradication. Upon request by state agencies, the guard also provides personnel to research and document information necessary to establish probable cause. Georgia National Guard personnel are also assigned to perform tasks which include but are not limited to operational planning, transportation for elements of DLEAs, assisting in information gathering, provide security and crowd control, marking and cataloging evidence found at the scene, and assisting in the dismantling of crime scenes.
FACILITY ASSESSMENT From July 1, 1999 to October 1, 1999, the department conducted a thorough assessment of over 950 buildings at

81 locations, including the 72 state-owned armories. The assessment found that the needs of the various facilities fall into 3 categories: repairs and renovations; plan, design and construction; and disposition of existing property. The Governor recommended $3,000,000 in bonds to complete a wide range of significant maintenance, repair and infrastructure upgrades to make the armories safe, secure, code compliant and bring them to standard to adequately support unit operations. As facilities age and requirements change, new construction and the disposition of existing property is ineluctable. In the last 20 years only 3 new armories have been built; however, there are 6 design projects in progress that will meet the needs of today's modernized National Guard. Once the new facilities are completed, the old ones will need to be reallocated or disposed of. Though these transactions shall be complex, the benefits gained in terms of relinquishing responsibilities and expenses shall be well worth the effort.

standardizing what is taught in high schools across the state. If students are to be tested on the same content, they should be taught the same content. Governor Barnes recommends funding in the Amended FY 2001 budget to continue development of end-of-course exams in eight core subjects. These exams will first be administered in school year 20022003, and once fully implemented will replace the current Georgia High School Graduation Test.
IMRPOVING READING ACHIEVEMENT In the past 4 years, 3rd grade ITBS scores in reading
have remained virtually stagnant. Less than 40% of students in grades 4, 6, and 8 met basic reading standards as measured by the Spring 2000 CRCT. These marks are unacceptable and must improve if Georgia is to remain competitive in the global economy. Reading improvement, especially in early grades, is the key to better student performance on both national norm-referenced tests and the CRCT. While continuing to support programs like Reading First and the Reading Challenge after-school program, Governor Barnes wants to allow schools to choose the reading programs they feel will produce the best improvement in reading for their students, especially those below grade level. The reading programs must be researchbased and demonstrate performance. The Governor proposes to create a new line item in the GDOE's budget for reading programs and fund it at a $34 million level in FY 2002. This level is $7 million more than the current budget for Reading First and Reading Challenge combined. There are many proven reading programs such as Voyager, which incorporates theme-based, hands-on learning, and Reading Recovery, which is designed for schools that wish to implement one-to-one remedial reading. To assist schools in finding proven programs that best fit their local needs, Governor Barnes has requested the GDOE to provide a list and description of research-based programs for in-school and after-school reading. In addition, the new Early Intervention Progra m (EIP) in K-3 provides funding for special assistance to students below grade level. Virtually all K-3 EIP students qualify for the program because of reading problems. EIP funding can be used for programs like Reading Recovery to target reading assistance to the most needy students. For FY 2002, the Governor is recommending a net increase of $18,928,644 to expand the EIP program to grades 4 and 5. This change will enable schools to target reading problems in those grades if that is what is needed to improve reading performance.
COUNTDOWN TO ACCOUNTABILITY The hope is that the new infusion of funds and
additional flexibility to choose reading programs will help schools to better focus on student achievement and be better prepared as the state continues its count down to

accountability. HB 1187 requires the Office of Education Accountability
(OEA) to begin collecting benchmark student achievement data in school year 2002-2003. In school year 2004-2005, all schools will be held accountable, given a grade of A, B, C, D, or F based on student performance measured against an absolute achievement standard and another grade based on annual progress. Schools receiving an A or B will receive bonus awards, and schools receiving a D or F will be sanctioned and may be assigned a school improvement team by the OEA. While all schools will not receive grades from the OEA until fall 2004, it is important to begin assigning school improvement teams on a voluntary basis before then. At the beginning of school year 2000-2001, 8 improvement teams were assigned to assist low performing schools. The improvement teams were established to aid schools in designing and implementing school improvement plans. In most cases, assistance comes in the form of staff development for teachers and leadership training for school administrators.
Governor Barnes recommends $7 million in additional funding in FY 2002 to expand the number of improvement teams by 12, bringing the total to 20. Each team is comprised of 5 members with expertise and experience in classroom teaching or school administration. In the Amended FY 2001 budget, the Governor recommends over $1.2 million to begin assembling and training the 12 new teams before the beginning of FY 2002. Each team will assist an average of 3 schools annually, providing on-site services for up to one year. The duration of a team's visit will depend on the level of assistance required at a school. Improvement teams will play a key role in improving the achievement of low performing schools. As these teams assist low performing schools and learn from experiences, adjustments may be made to the teams' operational makeup and funding. Governor Barnes also recommends funding for five GDOE personnel who will hire and train team members and coordinate their activities.
HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND Often touted as a crucial indicator of student
achievement, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) continues to be a yardstick held by institutions of higher learning to measure prospective students. Usually taken by rising high school seniors, SAT scores have increased steadily in Georgia since 1994. Since 1994, Georgia' students have made

195

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

consistent gains on the SAT. Georgia's SAT scores have risen from 948 in 1999 to 974 in 2000, an increase of 26 points. The nation's SAT score has risen 16 points during the same time period, going from 1003 in 1994 to 1019 in 2000.
Georgia has implemented several state-funded initiatives to encourage this steady gain in achievement. Governor Barnes continues to be a proponent of these incentives. The Governor has recommended the state continue funding the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT) for 10th grade students to "practice" for the SAT. The Governor also recognizes the importance of giving Georgia's students the opportunities to take more rigorous academic coursework. He recommends an additional $212,000 in the Amended FY 2001 budget, increasing the total to $1.8 million, for over 26,000 public school students predicted to take Advance Placement (AP) exams in May 2001. The Governor also recommends continued state support for student participation in the Postsecondary Options (PSO) initiative, a program which allows qualified high school juniors and seniors to earn high school Carnegie units and postsecondary credit while jointly enrolled in high school and a postsecondary institution. Postsecondary institutions receive state funding equivalent to the lesser of what a student would have earned in the regular high school program or the cost of tuition.
KIPP ACADEMY No more excused-based education. This simple motto is
at the heart of the Knowledge is Power Academy (KIPP) Program. In public appearances throughout the state, Governor Barnes has preached the gospel of out-of-the-box thinking to raise teaching and learning expectations in schools serving at-risk students. KIPP provides the perfect model to experiment with out-of-the-box thinking.
Two Teach for America teachers, started the KIPP Academy in Houston, Texas. KIPP is an academically rigorous college preparatory public school for at-risk students in grades 5 through 9. The program engages students and their families by requiring students and parents to sign a written contract that specifies attendance from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 4 hours each Saturday, and 1 month each summer. The contract requires parents to reinforce students' commitment, ensure attendance, and help with 2 to 3 hours of homework each evening.
In 1999, KIPP led the state of Texas in the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) results. 100% of students passed the math and science sections. In reading, 98% of students passed, in writing 97%, and in social studies 98%. Unlike many public schools in Texas, KIPP did not exempt any Spanis h-speaking students from the taking the test.
The KIPP formula was replicated successfully in the

South Bronx. KIPP in New York is the highest-performing middle school program in the five districts that make up the Bronx. In 1999, 300 students in grades 5 through 9 were enrolled in the KIPP Academy. Ninety-six percent were Hispanic or African-American and 91% were eligible for the federal free/reduced lunch program. Another compelling factor about KIPP is that the students spend 67% more time in school than other Texas public school students.
Governor Barnes hopes to replicate KIPP's successes in Georgia. Last year he recommended $1,000,000 to provide funds for at least one KIPP Academy. KIPP is finalizing the plans for its first academy in Georgia but will need only $250,000 in FY 2001. KIPP is raising private dollars to train future leaders in the KIPP methodology and will open several academies in Georgia over the next few years. KIPP could create several Georgia academies with the Governor's initial FY 2001 funding recommendation, but funds can best be utilized in FY 2002 and beyond when KIPP Academy leaders have been identified and trained. So the Governor is recommending the continuation of $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2002 to provide startup funds for several KIPP Academies. State funds will be used primarily to purchase or renovate school facilities and other startup supplies and materials.
NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION After more than a decade of educational reform there is
growing consensus among teachers, school administrators, and reformers that professional development and teacher training lie at the heart of efforts to improve teaching and learning in K-12 public schools. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards created the National Board Certification process to establish high and rigorous standards for what teachers should know and be able to do and to develop a national, voluntary system to assess and certify teachers who meet these standards. Teachers who participate in the National Board Certification process help to reshape the public's perception of teaching, create more professional and rewarding relationships among teachers, and advance the knowledge base of teaching, all directly related to improving student learning.
The National Board Certification process consists of two parts. First, during the school year, candidates assemble a portfolio of their teaching, composed of student work, teacher reflections on the students' work and videotapes of classroom activities with students. Second, the candidates spend a day during the summer at an assessment center where they are interviewed by master teachers and complete written essay examinations to determine the level of their teaching skills and mastery of subject matter.
The assessment center exercises are designed to complement the portfolio and are organized around challenging teaching issues. The self-analysis endemic to the certification process benefits students by requiring

196

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

teachers to focus on academic goals and objectives that hold the promise of improving classroom practice. The entire certification process, from developing the portfolio to completing written essays, takes the better part of a school year. Many teachers have reported spending about 200 hours on the process.
In 1996, the General Assembly and Governor enacted legislation to offer financial incentives to teachers who choose to become nationally certified. The legislation required that nationally certified teachers receive a 5% increase in their salary and be reimbursed the certification fee. In FY 2001, Governor Barnes and the General Assembly doubled the salary supplement to 10%. For FY 2002, Governor Barnes is recommending $283,267 in additional funding for the 10% salary supplement for additional certified teachers.
Governor Barnes hopes to increase the number of Georgia nationally certified teachers to 1,000 by school year 2003-2004. To enhance the chances of reaching the goal, the Governor has initiated a partnership with the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education (GPEE) to provide financial assistance to teachers participating in the National Board Certification process. For the 2000-2001 cycle, the National Board application fee is $2,300. Under the agreement with GPEE, a teacher will pay the $300 qualifying fee, the state will contribute $1,000, and GPEE will contribute the remaining $1,000 for any teacher who is unable to find $1,000 from another source, such as the federal government or a teacher support organization like the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE). The Governor is recommending $290,000 in the GDOE's Amended FY 2001 budget to provide 290 teachers a $1,000 application grant. Teachers receiving state funds must sign a promissory note, pledging to teach in Georgia for at least one year after receiving Board Certification. Teachers who break this pledge must repay the $1,000 grant plus interest.
For the 2001-2002 cycle and beyond, the Professional Standards Commission (PSC) will develop an application and mentoring process to identify and support teachers who are mostly likely to complete the rigorous National Board process. Beginning in FY 2001, the PSC will also be responsible for dispensing the $1,000 application grants. The national passage rate for the 1999-2000 cycle was 45%. Georgia's passage rate was 40%. Teachers receiving assistance from PAGE, which screens and provides mentoring services to its applicants, have a passage rate approaching 75%.
As of November 2000, 110 Georgia educators were National Board Certified. Fifty-one educators who participated in the certification process in school year 19992000 were certified in November 2000.
The PSC, mentioned above, will not only play a significant role in increasing the number of National Board Certified teachers, it will continue to be the main actor in

other activities to increase teacher quality and supply. The PSC's primary responsibilities are to test and certify teachers and certify colleges of education, functions which dovetail nicely with the issues of teacher quality and supply. To lessen the duplication of government services, Governor Barnes recommends transferring two teacher quality and supply functions from the GDOE to the PSC. He proposes transferring the GDOE's Public School Recruitment unit and the Troops to Teachers program to the PSC. Troops to Teachers seeks to recruit former military personnel into K-12 classrooms.
TECHNOLOGY FOR INSTRUCTION One of the state's prime commitments has been the
placement of cutting edge technology into Georgia's classrooms and schools. Since FY 1994, over $300 million in lottery funds have been appropriated to put computers, satellite dishes, and other instructional technology into Georgia's classrooms. In 1992-93, before lottery funding, only 26% of Georgia classrooms had computers and only 15% had distance learning capability. By 1999-2000, after 7 years of lottery funding, distance learning capability was available to 81.5% of all classrooms, and 54.2% of classrooms had at least 1 computer connected to the internet. Governor Barnes is continuing the state's commitment to provide technology resources for the classroom by recommending $25 per FTE, for a total of $35,663,350 in FY 2002 lottery funds.
The Internet is rapidly emerging as a powerful learning tool for both students and teachers. Using the Internet, students in the most remote schools can access vast amounts of information and knowledge not available any other way or take academic courses not offered at their high school. Teachers can access other teachers' lesson plans to improve instructional practices. Governor Barnes has demonstrated his commitment to using technology to expand learning opportunities by recommending the continuation of state funding for the Georgia Virtual High School project and the Georgia Learning Connections (GLC), the web-based curriculum and instructional resource for Georgia educators. Over 30,000 internet links tied to the QCC have been identified and more than 4,000 lesson plans have been posted on the GLC website. While these achievements are impressive, significant work remains. Over 7,380 QCC standards have no internet links or lessons plans posted to the GLC website. Governor Barnes recommends $750,000 in the Amended Fiscal Year 2001 budget to contract with teachers to continue developing lessons plans and internet links during the summer of 2001.
Internet resources like the Georgia Virtual High School and the GLC will prove far more useful to students and teachers once schools expand their bandwidth to access more information at faster speeds. Governor Barnes

197

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

recommends funding to amend the current contract between the GDOE and BellSouth to provide broadband internet access to all schools, providing a committed information rate of 256K (kilobytes per second) per school, almost 5 times faster than a 56K dial-up modem. This means that in times of congestion, each school is guaranteed a minimum internet connection of 256K.
FORMULA FUNDING INCREASES Georgia is one of the fastest growing states in the US,
and significant resources have to be expended each year merely to provide funding for the increase in new students who enroll. For FY 2002, the Governor recommends $121,064,651 to fund 2.2% enrollment increases over the original count in FY 2001. Other significant formula increases, include adding paraprofessionals for Kindergarten ($68.5 million), increasing Maintenance and Operations by $5 per FTE ($7.1 million), providing a sparsity grant to Alternative Education for programs with less than 100 alternative FTEs ($3,390,910), and creating an Early Intervention Program in grades 4 and 5 ($18.9 million). While not in the QBE formula, the Governor also recommends a $20 million increase in FY 2002 for Pupil Transportation and a $10 million increase in the Amended FY 2001 budget.
OTHER K-12 IMPROVEMENTS Governor Barnes is recommending $12,500,000 in FY
2002 to help purchase vocational lab equipment in 35 systems and agricultural education equipment in 29 systems implementing new programs or housing programs in new facilities. This recommendation supports the state's elimination of the general education diploma, requiring instead a college or technology/career prep diploma. This funding will assist school systems in offering quality vocational programs which meet industry standards.
To encourage excellence in Georgia teachers and reward

them for their accomplishments the Governor recommends $4,492,000 in the Amended Fiscal Year 2001 budget to fund increased participation in the Pay for Performance program. The Office of Education Accountability will begin awarding bonuses based on academic achievement to schools in school year 2003-2004 and replace the Pay for Performance program.
GEORGIA VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
Georgia is proud to have the largest and most comprehensive pre-kindergarten program serving 4-year olds and their families of any state in the country. The Georgia Pre-K program continues to be a model for the rest of the country by successfully combining services from public and private providers of early childhood education in order to provide a high quality pre-kindergarten experience for every Georgia family that wants it. A recent study by the Council for School Performance found that compared to results from other national and state studies that used the same rating scale, Georgia pre-kindergarten classrooms are higher quality than preschool classrooms in other states. In addition, another study shows that teachers and parents continue to find that Pre-K students are entering kindergarten "ready to learn". Kindergarten teachers found that Pre-K students were better prepared than those who had not enrolled in PreK programs in 7 of 8 skill levels, including pre-reading and pre-math skills.
The Governor is maintaining the commitment to the PreKindergarten Program through his recommendation of $237,868,003 in lottery funding to serve 63,500 4-year-olds and their families in FY 2002.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Roles and Responsibilities

By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) administers seven separate retirement systems and programs: ERS, the Legislative Retirement System (LRS), the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP), the Georgia Judicial Retirement System (GJRS), the Public School Employees' Retirement System (PSERS), the State Employees' Assurance Department (SEAD), and the Social Security contracts between the state and its political subdivisions.
In general, ERS is a vehicle for collecting employee and employer contributions, investing accumulated funds, and disbursing retirement benefits to members and beneficiaries. As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet the future obligations of each retirement plan. An independent accounting firm also audits the system each year.
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM Since 1950, the staff of ERS has administered
retirement benefits for state employees in accordance with the Official Code of Georgia. Full-time employees of participating departments are required to become members of ERS as a condition of employment, with the exception of employees who first become eligible after age 60.
The ERS Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for administration of the system, while the executive director who is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members is responsible for daily management of ERS operations. The board consists of 7 members as follows:
State Auditor, ex officio; Commissioner, State Merit System, ex officio; Director, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex officio; 1 member appointed by the Governor; 2 members appointed by the first 4 members with 5 or more years of creditable service with ERS; and 1 member appointed by the first 6 members who must not hold public office, not be an ERS member, and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of moneys. The members who are not ex officio members serve 4year terms. Board members convene monthly to review investment performance, retirement statistics, the system budget, and various other issues.

LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
LRS is a retirement plan for members of the General Assembly, while GDCP is a plan for temporary, seasonal, and part-time employees of the state not covered by ERS or TRS. Both plans are placed under the administration of the ERS Board of Trustees.
GEORGIA JUDICIAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM This system is for members and retirees of the Superior
Court Judges Retirement System, the District Attorney's Retirement System, and the Trial Judges and Solicitor's Retirement Fund as well as certain employees of the Attorney General and Legislative Counsel. The GJRS Board of Trustees consists of the 7 ERS trustees plus 3 additional members appointed by the Governor who serve in one of the following positions: state court judge, superior court judge, state court solicitor general, juvenile court judge, or district attorney. These appointments are for 4year terms.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
PSERS offers a supplemental retirement plan to certain public school employees not covered by the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS). These employees include bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians. The PSERS Board of Trustees consists of the 7 ERS trustees plus 2 additional members appointed by the Governor for 4-year terms.
STATE EMPLOYEES' ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT SEAD offers Group Term Life Insurance to active and
retired ERS members. The SEAD Board of Trustees consists of the State Auditor, the Commissioner of the Department of Labor, the Commissioner of the State Merit System, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and 2 members appointed by the Governor.
SOCIAL SECURITY COVERAGE In 1956, state legislation was enacted that designated
ERS as the state agency authorized to enter, on behalf of the state, into an agreement on the subject of Social Security benefits with the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The agreement extends the benefits of the federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system to employees of the state and its political subdivisions.
AUTHORITY Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Strategies and Services

RETIREMENT SYSTEM POLICYMAKING As mentioned in the Roles and Responsibilities section,
the ERS Board of Trustees meets monthly to discuss issues of importance to the retirement system. The board is responsible for making important policy decisions that have long-lasting effects on both active and retired members. Such decisions include approving an annual or semi-annual cost of living adjustment for retirees, setting the employer contribution rate, and approving investment activities. After the board approves policies and procedures, it is then the responsibility of the executive director to ensure that they are implemented with efficiency and effectiveness.
In setting and implementing policy for ERS, the board and the executive director seek to accomplish the following five objectives:
Provide accessible and effective counseling services for system members;
Invest retirement funds to ensure adequate financing for future benefits due;
Account for the contributions of all active and inactive members;
Process refunds and monthly benefits due in a timely manner; and
Provide sufficient life insurance for members. While striving to meet these objectives, the board
and the executive director must also stay abreast of relevant legislation being considered by state lawmakers. Each year, the General Assembly passes laws that will impact one or several of the programs managed within ERS. In the 2000 session alone, 13 bills were passed that now affect active

members and retirees of ERS systems. For example, Senate Bill 45 gave ERS members the option to purchase up to 2 years of credit for certain military service, and the state appropriations bill funded an increase in the benefit formula for PSERS retirees. At the start of each fiscal year, board members must be ready to incorporate new laws into long term planning for the system and the executive director must adjust system operations to satisfy legal mandates.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Since 1970, ERS has offered a pre-retirement
preparation program in Atlanta for system members who are within 5 years of retirement eligibility. In addition to the longstanding retirement planning seminar that is most helpful for members nearing their anticipated retirement date, ERS now offers a financial planning seminar for all members of the system. This new element of the program seeks to inform every member on topics such as Social Security, deferred compensation, insurance coverage, savings and investments, wills and estate planning, and ERS benefits. In a further effort to reach as many members as possible, both seminars are now offered throughout the state. ERS employees conduct and coordinate these twoday programs with the help of outside consultant expertise when necessary. Retirement specialists at ERS headquarters offer less formal assistance for members with questions about their retirement options. Stressing the importance of retirement planning to both new members and members with a long history of service to the state is certainly a top priority at ERS.

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The State Forestry Commission is responsible for the perpetuation of Georgia's public and private forest resources by furnishing forest tree seedlings, protecting the forest through fire and disease control, managing and utilizing forest products and providing educational programs in forested areas. At the same time, the commission strives to emphasize the environmental and economic value of the state's forests.
Forestry contributes $19.7 billion to the state's economy and provides more than 144,000 jobs in Georgia. The Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forestland, which represents an approximate $36 billion asset.
The Forestry Commission has three budget unit divisions:
Reforestation Field Services General Administration and Support The Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to the rural forest landowner and offers technical assistance to landowners in urban areas.
FOREST PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT Forest Protection, the primary function of the Forestry
Commission, includes a statewide network of county and district offices adequately supplied with staff and equipment necessary for the suppression of Georgia's more than 8,000 forest fires that burn 37,000 acres each year. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires. This is followed by a powerful initial attack with trained firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. The effectiveness of the Forest Protection program is a direct result of properly maintained equipment that can be quickly mobilized at the early phases of a forest fire. The average size fire in Georgia is approximately 5 acres while the average for the southern region is 13 acres and the national average is 42 acres. The success of the program is credited to the staff and equipment, including fire detection aircraft, being maintained in a constant state of readiness in order to respond during the early phases of a forest fire.
The Rural Fire Defense program is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the Forestry Commission. This program has provided 825 fire departments located in 141 counties with total of 1,236 pieces of low cost/lease fire equipment. The commission also provides assistance with training and operations for local fire departments statewide.
In the area of Forest Management, the commission provides technical assistance and service to private and industrial landowners. Multiple forest resource management

is encouraged and promoted through forest stewardship on both public and private lands. Other forest management responsibilities of the department include forest health monitoring (which includes periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys and eradication), promotion of forest quality, education and compliance surveys, and providing cost-share technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the department conducts the management of 4 state-owned and 2 non-state forests using forest stewardship principles and the training of 53 field foresters.
REFORESTATION The role of the Reforestation Division is to provide
high quality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the citizens of Georgia at a reasonable price without cost to the taxpayer. Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the commission's tree improvement and seedling production program, its intensively managed seed orchards, its low-cost seed cleaning and conditioning plant and its 2 tree seedling nurseries.
EDUCATION AND URBAN FORESTRY In order for the state to maintain its leadership role as
one of the top forestry states in the nation, the Forestry Commission believes in providing information about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment to the public and targeted audiences. The role of the Education and Urban Forestry program is to inform the public via all media outlets about the importance of forest resources to the state's economy , environment and quality of life for all citizens. The responsibility of the Urban Forestry program is to provide leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining sustainable urban and community forests and to provide professional expertise to resolve conflicts between people and forest resources. The program is responsible for the administration of more than $300,000 in federal grants to Georgia communities.
ATTACHED AGENCY The Herty Foundation supports Georgia's pulp and
paper industry by providing research and product development opportunities to manufacturers at its facility in Savannah. This support consists of providing laboratory services and several pilot scale production paper machines to allow Georgia's pulp and paper manufacturers to conduct research, develop new or improve existing products.
AUTHORITY Title 12-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

224

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

Forestry in Georgia is now a 19.7 billion dollar industry. Forest industries in Georgia employ over 75,000 people, while more than 69,000 are employed by industries that support the forest products manufacturing industry. As the recognized leader in the forestry area, the Georgia Forestry Commission's strategies and services are geared to enhance the quality of life for all the citizens Georgia.
FOREST PROTECTION Fire control, the primary reason for the creation of
the Forestry Commission, is necessary to protect the State's 24 million acres of forest land that represents a 36 billion dollar asset to Georgia. The current 10 year average of wildfires shows an occurrence of 8,743 forest fires that burn 37,084 acres each year. The average size forest fire in the State burns approximately 5 acres. The drought conditions in 1998 and 1999 have caused the average size fire to increase by 25% for those 2 years. In 2000, the continued drought brought a record fire year with 11,712 wildfires burning 71,737 acres. This represents a 34% increase over the 10 year average in number of fires. Damage to forestland in FY 2000 is estimated to be $62,000,000. Forest fire control is achieved through a network of 12 district offices and 109 county offices. These facilities have fire suppression equipment strategically located so as to reduce the travel time to wildfires. The Commission's fire suppression fleet consists of 334 crawler tractor/plow units, 21 brush truck, 18 fire detection aircraft, one state owned helicopter and 3 federal excess UH-1H helicopters that must be maintained in a high state of readiness in order to keep fires at bay.
Over the past 10 years, intensive forest management practices, applied to cause pine trees to grow faster, have become a common practice. Fertilization and weed control increase both the landowner's investment and the value lost when a fire occurs on the property. Planted pine exhibits a fast burning and continuous fuel type resulting in the average fire nearly doubling in size as compared to other forest fuel types. Three and one-half million acres of this type fuel have been planted over the last 10 years. The increase in reforestation efforts, accompanied by the State's growing population, more frequently place property improvements in danger. In FY 2000, 51 homes were lost to wildfires. Improvements in fire suppression capabilities, coupled with innovations in the use of communications equipment and computers should shorten both fire detection and response times.
Firebreak plowing is the most requested service offered by the Forestry Commission with over 25,000 miles of firebreaks installed each year. Firebreaks add security to the forests by stopping a fire before it damages property. Many landowners request firebreaks to facilitate the use of prescribed burning which reduces

dangerous accumulations of forest fuels and reduces the likelihood of an uncontrollable wildfire. Also, prescribed burning provides tender browse for young animals. Presently, there are approximately 900,000 acres that are prescribe burned each year and a goal of the Commission is to increase the number of acres that are prescribe burned each year.
Prompt detection of forest fires is a key element in keeping the size of the fire to a minimum. The Forestry Commission utilizes 17 fixed wing aircrafts to supplement fire detection. Last year, the Commission began a program with the U.S. Geological Survey to utilize federal satellites for fire detection. Once a fire is detected, the response time depends on an efficient dispatch system. This year, the Commission contracted a dispatch needs assessment to decrease the amount of time between fire detection and suppression. Future plans include enhancement of detection and dispatch by use of the latest technology.
WILDLAND/URBAN INTERFACE As Georgia's population continues to increase, more
homes are being constructed adjacent to forested areas. The Commission began the Wildland/Urban Interface Program in 1993 with the objective of protecting these homes from forest fires. The program is designed to educate developers, homebuilders, insurance providers, and community leaders about structural and forest fire prevention, safety of persons who live in forested areas, and a reduction of impact to the forest ecology due to the increased use of fire. Because many people are relocating to rural and suburban areas, the Commission is committed to insuring their safety.
RURAL FIRE DEFENSE Under the direction of the Forest Protection
Department, the Rural Fire Defense Program was created in the 1970's in order to assemble fire trucks and loan/lease them to rural volunteer fire departments. Since the inception of the program, over 1200 fire trucks have been leased to rural fire departments. Also, several hundred federal excess military vehicles have been acquired and loaned to volunteer fire departments. The Commission began a refurbishment program in 1991 to update and rebuild fire apparatus that have become worn or obsolete. Presently, 180 of these older units have been refurbished under the program. Also, the Rural Fire Defense Coordinator provides countywide planning and individual community planning upon request.
FOREST EDUCATION The Forestry Commission with the Education and
Urban Community Forestry Department taking the lead has as its goal to increase public awareness of forest resources, to provide education programs to students and

225

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services

educators, to advance the capability of the public and private sector to create programs that will sustain and improve the community forest resources, to expand the understanding of economic and environmental benefits of community forest resources, to administer federally funded Urban and Community Forestry Assistance grant programs, and to target teachers and other youth leaders by designing programs that fit the age groups and level of need.
Strategies to increase public awareness about Georgia's forest resources include increasing media contacts through radio, television, newspaper, and electronic transfer, producing high quality, informative publications and other media products for use in reaching the public, and implementing a Forest Awareness Program to increase knowledge about the importance of forestry to Georgia. Also, providing educational programs to students and educators is a priority of the program. The promotion of Smoky Bear to elementary school students is the most popular of the fire prevention programs. Also, the Junior Forest Ranger Program has become popular by introducing approximately 20,000 fourth and fifth graders to fire and fire prevention each year. Fire prevention through education is high on the Commission's priority list.
The Forestry Commission targets teachers and youth leaders through increasing Project Learning Tree workshops, classroom activities and a mobile classroom.
URBAN AND COMMUNITY FORESTRY The Urban and Community Forestry program offers
technical assistance to citizens in urban forest areas in the State. A goal of the program is to advance the capacity of local governments, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector to create and implement local programs that will sustain and improve community forest resources. One action to accomplish this initiative is to provide technical assistance to 90 communities to help them meet the standards required for Tree City certification. Another initiative is to administer the federally funded Urban and Community Forestry Assistance grants program for 35 to 55 Georgia communities. In order to increase the understanding of economic and environmental benefits of community forests resources and related issues that arise from urban sprawl, the Commission conducts the Georgia Urban Forest

Conference and Awards Program, provides an assessment of forest resources and pressures impacting these resources for an initial 30 counties, and increase the number of urban forestry informational and educational opportunities for community leaders. The program provides technical assistance to the Forestry community including wood manufacturers and contractors , as well as anyone else in the overall effort of insuring a sustainable forest resource. Other services offered by the Education and Urban Forestry Department includes publishing the quarterly magazine, GEORGIA FORESTRY.
REFORESTATION The Seed Orchard Program provides a reliable source
of seed and the opportunity to make the most of the genetic potential of trees. In loblolly and slash pines, the program to date has essentially eliminated forking, reduced the incidence of fusiform rust by as much as 60%, and improved growth rates by 10-15%. The seed orchards currently being established are projected to increase growth by 30% and further reduce infection. A 10% increase in volume per acre will translate to a dollar value increase of $56.8 million. A 30% increase will result in a per acre value of $135 million at rotation.
In FY 2002, the Commission will offer approximately 50 million tree seedlings for sale to Georgia landowners. These seedlings will reforest approximately 78,000 acres, helping reduce the deficit between acres harvested and acres regenerated. The value of these trees at rotation age is $179 million. Some of the trees will be planted specifically to provide wildlife food or habitat to prevent soil erosion, to reduce solar heating, or to enhance urban or rural aesthetics.
The Commission's Tree Improvement Program works to improve the genetic potential of the trees available through the two nurseries. Fiscal year 2002 will mark the 84th year the State has grown forest tree seedlings for Georgia's landowners to replant harvested timberland and idle farmland. Approximately seven years ago, private nurseries forecasted that there would never be another seedling shortage because they could produce enough seedlings for everyone. A seedling shortage has occurred every year since and appears to get more critical each year. However, the seedling supply for FY2002 is expected to meet the demand, depending on the extent of cost share programs. The Commission has been recognized as the leader in quality seedling production for the past 10 years.

FOREST PROTECTION

Purpose: To protect Georgia's forested acreage from devastation by wildfire and to provide citizens with a safe environment in which to live.

Goal 1: To reduce the number of houses and other buildings burned by forest fires.
- Forest fires are responsible for the destruction of 72 homes and 150 other buildings per year (4 year average). Drought conditions in FY 99 and FY 2000 caused escalations in this category. The Commissioner's goal is to reduce the number of homes and outbuildings burned to match or better the 4 year average. Figures are homes burned/other buildings burned.

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) serves as a primary investigation and enforcement agency in the state's fight against crime and corruption.
Upon request, the GBI provides investigative and enforcement support services to local and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the state. In addition to conducting general and special investigations, the bureau provides forensic laboratory examinations and collects data on crime and criminals. Numerous programs are operational and the latest technological advancements in crime fighting are in place to combat drug trafficking and other crimes.
The operations of the GBI include a staff of 816 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 General Investigation Offices, 4 Regional Drug Enforcement Offices and 6 Regional Crime Laboratories through which the various support services are carried out.
GENERAL INVESTIGATION The mission of the General Investigation Section,
within the investigative divis ion is to provide assistance to local law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes committed throughout the state on a daily basis. The office also has original jurisdiction in the investigation of crimes committed on state property; the enforcement of laws governing non-tax paid alcohol and tobacco; and the investigation of crimes committed on the basis of race, creed, religion or national origin. The majority of the manpower resources are distributed among the 15 regional field offices and the 4 Regional Drug Enforcement Offices. The regional field offices conduct general investigations of all crimes and comprise the most significant program in the General Investigation Section of the division's budget. The regional drug enforcement offices investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. There are 7 specialized areas of operations:
Crime Analysis Unit Crime Scene Specialist Program Financial Investigations Unit Intelligence Unit Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces Polygraph Unit Healthcare Fraud Unit A number of services are provided to assist local agencies in solving crimes throughout the state: Aid in the detection, apprehension and conviction of criminals, and behavioral science related services;

Criminal investigations into auto thefts, car jacking, organized crime, fugitives, and controlled substances;
Arson investigations; Publication and dissemination of the Criminal Activity Bulletin; Polygraph exams for other criminal justice agencies upon request; and Assistance with security and crowd control for major organized events and civil disturbances in the state.
FORENSIC SERVICES The Division of Forensic Sciences operates the
headquarters laboratory in Atlanta and 6 regional laboratories in Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, Moultrie, Macon and Summerville. The laboratories examine submitted evidence, report scientific conclusions about that submitted evidence, and testify in court about results. These services must be timely and as up-to-date as possible to satisfy the needs of the courts and the police. The Headquarters Laboratory consists of the following programs:
Administration Criminalistics DNA Database Drug Identification Serology/DNA Questioned Document Implied Consent Photography Toxicology Latent Examiner Firearms Identification Medical Examiner Services.
GEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER The role of the Crime Information Center includes the
operation of a statewide Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Network, linking criminal justice agencies to automated state and national information databases. The center also operates and maintains a central repository of statistical data describing the nature and extent of reported crime known under the name of its FBI counterpart, the Uniform Crime Reporting system. It performs audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies.
AUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Strategies and Services

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation provides an invaluable service by assisting the local and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Georgia. As new innovations and technological advances become available, assisting in investigations continues become more complex. Local and federal agencies look to the bureau to provide skilled agents for their expertise in various crime analysis and crime investigation. For this reason, the bureau has a complex recruitment and training program. The bureau continues to make every effort to recruit and hire skilled, qualified and professional agents. In an effort to display his support, Governor Barnes is recommending a special pay package for the bureaus sworn personnel.
Under the Governors special pay package, the minimum target hire salary for a special agent will be increased from $29,382 to $33,528. This represents an additional $4,146 or a 14% increase in the target hire salary.
In addition to increasing the target hire salary, the Governor has made funding available to provide current filled positions a 4% increase or to be moved to the new minimum, which ever would be more beneficial to the individual. If the special pay package were combined with the 3.5% merit increase, the average additional pay for current filled special agents will be $3,606, representing an 11.9% increase.
FORENSIC SCIENCES
The Division of Forensic Sciences (DOFS) provides scientific support to criminal justice agencies to enable them to detect, apprehend and prosecute criminals. Except for limited services provided by local federal laboratories, the Division of Forensic Sciences is the single source for forensic services available to the criminal justice community in Georgia.
Currently, the Division of Forensic Sciences serves the entire state of Georgia through a headquarters laboratory and six regional laboratories. Headquarters is located in Atlanta, while the regional laboratories are located in Savannah, Macon, Summerville, Columbus, Augusta and Moultrie.
The Division of Forensic Sciences provides services in the following areas: Chemistry/Drug Identification, Serology/DNA, Pathology, Forensic Toxicology/Blood Alcohol, Firearms Identification, Latent Fingerprints, DNA Database, Trace Evidence, Questioned Documents, Forensic Photography and Implied Consent.

goal of completing services within a 30-day period. In FY 2000, the Governor provided the bureau with 83 additional forensic positions and $2.6 million for lab equipment. With the Governor's support and the bureaus hard work, the year-end backlog for completed services was the lowest it has been since FY 1993. The backlog accounted for 5,822 cases. Compared to FY 1999 backlog of 35,857 cases, FY 2000 represented a reduction of 30,035 cases. In addition to the dramatic reduction of the backlog, the bureau was able to complete 122,600 cases versus FY 1999's 88,490 cases. The bureau's ability to reduce the backlog was a direct result of increasing the percentage of cases that were completed within a 30-day period. In FY 2000, 57% of the cases were completed with in 30 days. This was a great achievement compared to FY 1999's 36%. This represented a 21 point increase. The bureau is not satisfied and will continue to strive to improve in both of these areas.

NEW CRIME LABORATORIES AND MORGUES As in previous years, Governor Barnes is providing
capital funding to assist the bureau in its endeavor to attack its ever-increasing caseload and provide more timely assistance to the local agencies of the state.
In the FY 2001 Amended Budget, Governor Barnes recommended $5 million in G.O. Bonds to construct a new regional laboratory to be located in Dahlonega. This will give the bureau a total of 8 laboratories. The new facility will allow the bureau to reduce the service territory covered by the Summerville lab and the Atlanta (headquarters) lab.
In addition to a new regional lab, Governor Barnes included $2.3 million to construct a freestanding morgue, medical examiner annex and toxicology annex adjacent to the Moultrie lab.
Other initiatives funded in prior years by the Governor include the replacement of a 19-year-old morgue; the construction of a new morgue and toxicology lab adjacent to the Savannah facility; construction of a laboratory annex and morgue building adjacent to the headquarters building; and replacement of the laboratory and addition of a morgue facility in Augusta.
These recommendations display Governor Barnes commitment to provide the necessary resources to continue to keep Georgia as one of the nations leading Forensic Science operations.
CRIME INFORMATION

providing investigative leads or positive identification of a suspect.
Remote sites where AFIS workstations are communicating with the GBI's AFIS are capable of sending and receiving electronic fingerprint images and making fingerprint identifications remotely.
The GBI receives fingerprint images electronically from law enforcement agencies able to transmit images directly into the GBI's AFIS via a Live Scan device.
Eighteen agencies transmit images directly to the GBI. These agencies provide arrest-booking services to many other agencies in their area. In total, electronic images are received from over 150 agencies.
The AFIS database files currently total 2,182,303. Tenprint files store 2 thumbs for each offender and total 1,213,428 people. Latent cognizant files total 968,875 people and represents 10 fingers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,607 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the above databases. These prints are stored for future reference
Automation of final disposition information is occurring in 2 ways. Agencies can enter final dispositions directly into the computerized criminal history database via the GO Network and a second transaction from specially designed case management software. Electronic updates of final dispositions from both types of automated courts accounted for approximately 20% of the judicial data to GCIC.

FIREARMS PROGRAM (INSTANT GUN CHECK) The Firearms Program provides a state background
check for firearms purchasers. Administered to be in conformity with the provisions of Georgia law and the federal Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act, the program provides the means for a federally licensed firearms dealer to call a 1-800 number to obtain an "instant check" on individuals prior to the transfer/sale of a handgun. This check is to insure by law that the individual is permitted to possess a handgun or long gun.
In FY 2000, the Georgia Crime Information Center processed 237,545 transactions and 12,478 were denied. This represented an increase of 65,396 transactions or over a 38% increase from the previous fiscal year. In FY 1999 the center processed 172,149 transactions.
AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS)
AFIS technology automates the processing of criminal, latent and applicant fingerprints with speed and accuracy. The processing of criminal documents such as fingerprint cards and reports of final disposition create and update computerized criminal history records, which are used by all criminal justice agencies throughout the state and nation. These records are also used to respond to inquiries for applicant background checks. Latent prints submitted from law enforcement agencies are processed for the purpose of

CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CJIS) NETWORK
The CJIS network provides law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies quick access to critical state and national driver's records, vehicle, boat and airplane registrations, stolen vehicles and property, wanted persons; and missing children and adults. There are currently 7,200 terminals on the CJIS Network. During FY 2000, the system processed 157,000,000 messages.
UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING (UCR) UCR is a program designed to collect and provide
crime statistics for Georgia on incidents of crime and arrests. Crime and arrests statistics are reported to local law enforcement agencies, the Governor and General Assembly, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, county and municipal officials, and media representatives. Interested citizens also could obtain the same statistics through the publication of "Georgia UCR Summary Report".
INVESTIGATIVE PROGRAMS
REGIONAL OFFICES There are 15 regional offices that conduct general
investigations of all types of criminal activity including drug enforcement. Each office typically covers 8 to 12 counties and is composed of 12 agents, a child abuse specialist and a crime scene specialist. In FY 2000, the

236

a federal grant and was staffed with representatives from various local law enforcement agencies within a judicial circuit. Over the years, the bureau has had numerous requests to provide ASAC's to serve as supervisors for multi-jurisdictional task forces throughout the state.
Currently the GBI is responsible for the supervision of 16 multi-jurisdictional task forces that work street to midlevel and in some instances major drug investigations in 50 of the 159 counties in Georgia. These supervisors provide experienced, capable leadership and help to ensure an organized and cooperative effort between not only the GBI and the task forces but also other law enforcement agencies.
In FY 2000, the force made 4,122 arrests; seized $95,817,497 in drugs and $1,047,774 in property; and made $713,405 in forfeitures.
SPECIAL UNITS Over the years, it has been necessary for the bureau to
create specialized units. These units narrow the investigative focus and allow individual agents to become highly trained experts and concentrate on specific areas of crime analysis and investigation. These specialized units include the Crime Analysis Unit, Financial Investigation Unit, Polygraph Unit, Fugitive Squads, Anti-terrorist Unit, Bomb Disposal Unit, Special Weapons and Tactics Team, Intelligence Unit, D.A.R.E. Unit, Governor's Task Force, State Health Care Fraud Unit and State Drug Task Force.

Drugs 31%

Other/Misc. 18%

There are three offices that are designated to investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. The offices are located in Gainesville, Macon and Savannah. In FY 2000, the regional drug enforcement offices accounted for 558 drug investigations, which resulted in 394 arrests and $6.4 million of seized contraband.
MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL DRUG TASK FORCE GBI provides an assistant special agent-in-charge
(ASAC) to supervise multi-jurisdictional drug task forces throughout the state. The initial task force was funded with

INTELLIGENCE UNIT The Intelligence Unit acts as a repository for criminal
intelligence information. The unit provides specialized support to GBI work units as well as other state, federal and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
Information from intelligence files is disseminated upon request to all law enforcement agencies. An average of over 13,000 requests is received each year. The unit publishes and disseminates the Criminal Activity Bulletin, which is the means of notifying local law enforcement agencies and district attorneys of the impending release from prison persons convicted of crimes in their jurisdictions. The unit is affiliated with local, regional, national and international law enforcement agencies.
STATE HEALTH CARE FRAUD CONTROL UNIT The unit's function is to identify and arrest individuals
who commit Medicaid-provider fraud. The Health Care Fraud Unit is a joint venture between the GBI, the Attorney General's Office and the Department of Audits. Since its inception, in March 1995, the division has opened 579 cases. Currently they have 89 active cases. The unit recovered $29 million with another $1.8 million to be paid to the Georgia Medicaid Program.

GEORGIA STATE FINANCING AND INVESTMENT COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) is responsible for managing the state's public debt. This responsibility includes providing various administrative services in issuing bonds and in investing the bond proceeds. GSFIC also manages capital outlay construction projects related to the issuance of the bonds.
The Georgia General Assembly authorizes GSFIC, through the annual appropriations bill, to issue general obligation bonds to finance the construction of various capital outlay projects.
In FY 2000, GSFIC had an annual operating budget of $2,974,359. This agency does not receive state funds for its operations but instead generates its own funds from interest earned from investment of the bond proceeds.
The commission members consist of the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General and the Director of Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. GSFIC provides all of its services through 2 statutory divis ions--Financing and Investment, and Construction.

obligation bonds and investing the bond proceeds. Additionally, this division manages the bond debt and purchases outstanding bonds from the secondary market to retire the debt early.
CONSTRUCTION The Construction Division manages the contracts for
the design and construction of the capital outlay projects for the various state agencies and other state entities. The division's management of projects involves preparing bids for the selection of a contractor to construct the facility; monitoring the progress of the projects; and providing the accounting services associated with disbursements of payments.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Roles and Responsibilities

The Office of the Governor serves a dual role-providing leadership to guide the affairs of state government and delivering services through 9 attached agencies.
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE The Governor is the Chief Executive Officer of state
government. Constitutionally, he is charged with executing the laws of the state and conserving the peace as Commander-in-Chief of the Georgia National Guard. Because of the various demands made of him, the Governor requires a personal staff to assist him in scheduling his time, answering correspondence, writing speeches, drafting legislation, and in maintaining contact with citizens of Georgia, members of the General Assembly and state agency heads.
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET The Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) provides the
Governor with assistance in the development of the state budget; with developing and updating annually a State Strategic Plan; with working with all state agencies in the development of their own strategic plan and ensuring that it conforms to the state plan; and with program evaluation, working with the State Auditor.
GEORGIA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS The council, a division of OPB, advises the Governor
about the study and development of the arts in Georgia and provides grants and technical assistance to local governments and art groups.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The following agencies are attached to the Office of the
Governor for administrative purposes. The protection from discrimination against any
individual in public employment and in the sale, purchase or rental of housing within the state because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or age is the responsibility of the Commission on Equal Opportunity.
The Office of Consumer Affairs protects consumers and legitimate business enterprises from unfair and deceptive activities through the enforcement of the Fair Business Practices Act and other related consumer protection statutes.

In addition to administering the Drug Control and System Improvement Grant, the Crime Victim Assistance Grant and the Crime Victim Assistance Compensation program, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council serves as a statewide clearinghouse for criminal justice information and research, and disseminates information to criminal justice agencies in the state.
The Children and Youth Coordinating Council, operating through federal/state grant awards, assists local government and private service agencies in the development of community-based programs for delinquent youth and youth who are at high risk of becoming delinquent.
The Office of Georgia Human Relations provides assistance for resolution of problems, issues and situations that pose a threat to positive community relations, and develops programs and activities to achieve a positive human relations climate in the state.
The Professional Standards Commission sets policies and procedures for certification of educational personnel in the public schools; reviews and analyzes requests for certification; issues certificates to qualified applicants; and develops and enforces the code of ethics and performance standards for teachers in local school systems.
Coordination of the activities of state and local agencies in preparing for natural disasters are carried out through a comprehensive emergency and disas ter readiness program administered by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.
The Office of Education Accountability establishes educational accountability policies and standards for the state to establish the "official" education report card and give awards to successful schools. The office is also charged with setting the official pass scores for the CRCT and end of course tests.
The Office of the Child Advocate for the Protection of Children provides independent oversight of persons, organizations, and agencies responsible for providing services to or caring for children who are victims of child abuse and neglect or whose domestic situation requires intervention by the state.
AUTHORITY Titles 8, 10, 12, 15, 19, 20, 35, 38, 40, 43, 45, 46, and

253

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Strategies and Services

A wide range of services is delivered by 9 agencies attached to the Office of the Governor, including Consumer Protection, Emergency Management and various grant distribution functions.
PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS
LEMON LAW UNIT The Motor Vehicle Warranty Rights Act, commonly
referred to as the "Lemon Law", provides consumers a method through which to attract the attention of new car manufacturers and secure the repair or replacement of those new vehicles that do not function properly.
After ten years of operation, the success of the Lemon Law program is remarkable. The Lemon Law caseload continues to grow due to the increased volume of motor vehicles sold. Over 36,000 Georgians contacted the Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA) in FY 2000 for assistance. Since the inception of the program in July 1990, over 33,000 Lemon Law cases have been initiated by Georgians. Of the Lemon Law cases submitted to arbitration in FY2000, over 580 consumers received either a replacement vehicle from the manufacturer or the repurchase of their defective vehicles by the manufacturer. These consumers alone received almost $12.2 million worth of benefit from this part of the Lemon Law process alone. Consumers, automobile dealers and auto manufacturers alike continue to praise Georgia's Lemon Law Program for its consistency and fairness.
TELEMARKETING Over $40 billion are lost each year to illegal
telemarketing enterprises and therefore, it is no surprise that consumer protection agencies, like OCA, routinely rank telemarketing complaints as either the first or second most prevalent type of consumer complaint received. While recognizing the fraudulent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available means, including specialized investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions.
The elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for financial abuses since they often live alone, usually have substantial savings or equity, have a fixed income, and are generally more trusting than other segments of our population.
INSURANCE ADVOCATE July 1, 1999 saw the start of the long-awaited Office
of Consumers' Insurance Advocate. This office will continue to assist the public with insurance claims and complaints in FY 2002 and beyond.

TEACHER PREPARATION AND CERTIFICATION
The Professional Standards Commission (PSC) has several important responsibilities (section 20-12-982) for addressing leadership and teacher quality issues including; certifying public school personnel; improving the level of preparation of educators; attracting and promoting the hiring of qualified personnel; adopting standards of performance and a code of professional ethics for educators; and providing alternative routes to professional teacher certification
School systems throughout the state are facing teacher supply problems that have led to teachers having to teach out of field or systems simply not being able to offer certain courses in critical shortage fields. Last year funds were provided for the PSC to develop courses in physics and chemistry that could be fed via satellite to schools throughout the state that did not have enough certified teachers to teach the course. For FY 2002, the Governor is recommending $500,000 to develop courses that can be delivered online to the out-of-field teacher so that the teacher can be certified.
A second initiative to address the teacher supply problem is to develop alternative routes to certification for those with content knowledge in an area but with no training on how to teach. The program would include an intensive 140-hour program (actual hours not credit hours) of classroom instruction in pedagogical skills that are integrated with the content field. Then, there would be an internship phase or induction period under the direction of a trained, experienced teacher. The Governor is recommending $500,000 for the development and initial delivery of this program.
The Governor's education reform has focused a great deal of attention on improving the quality and career advancement of teachers and educational administrators. Last year the Governor emphasized the need for more of our teachers in Georgia to obtain National Board Certification. This year the Governor, through the PSC, is forming a partnership with the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education to help teachers with the $2,300 cost of obtaining national board certification. The state will assist teachers with a $1,000 stipend to undertake the process of national board certification and the Partnership will match that $1,000. The Governor recommended $290,000 in the FY 2001 budget for this program and is annualizing that amount in the FY 2002 budget. In addition, to improve the pass rate (national average is 45%), the Governor is recommending $200,000 for PSC to mentor candidates receiving the stipends.
The Governor is also providing $200,000 for PSC to initiate program planning for a Leadership Institute for superintendents, principals, and assistant principals.

254

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR -- Strategies and Services

Studies indicate that school leadership is a critical element in creating successful schools and improving student achievement.
GRANTS FOR DELINQUENCY PREVENTION PROGRAMS
The Children and Youth Coordinating Council (CYCC) assists local communities in the development of community-based programs for delinquent and high-risk youth through grant awards and technical assistance.
The council will continue expanding its successful efforts to educate local communities, youth and parents on laws and other important issues related to youth. This effort will be accomplished by continued high-tech video productions available free to middle and high schools, libraries, technical schools and the University System over the Georgia Public Television PeachStar Satellite Network. Additionally, copies of the videos are offered free to any group in Georgia actively working with young people. Emphasis will continue to actively market the educational videos and maximize use of the media to get the message to all Georgians.
Approximately $4.3 million will be available for prevention programs; intervention programs for delinquent youth for improving Georgia's juvenile court system and programs intended to prevent teen pregnancies. The council will promulgate requests for proposals, train potential applicants, award grants, monitor recipients, provide technical assistance, and provide information on funding sources.
With the state expecting to receive $5.8 million, CYCC will continue to administer the juvenile accountability block grant program, which is designed to promote greater accountability in the Juvenile Justice System. The council will involve the Juvenile Courts, law enforcement, prosecutors, other state agencies and representatives from local government in developing a plan for reducing juvenile crime.
The Children and Youth Coordinating Council (CYCC) will continue to enforce the Governor's tough stance against underage drinking through the Governor's Alcohol Policy and Enforcement Division.
GRANTS FOR VICTIMS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
Federal formula grants are provided to state and local governments to aid in implementing effective drug enforcement and other criminal justice improvement projects. Along with the formula grant program, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) is responsible for administering and coordinating other programs that are of service to the citizens of Georgia.

DRUG CONTROL AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT FORMULA GRANT PROGRAM
The grants aid state and local governments in implementing effective drug enforcement and other criminal justice improvements, which emphasize violent crime and serious offenders. These funds may be used to support projects, which improve the apprehension, prosecution adjudication, detention, supervision, and rehabilitation of drug offenders. Additionally, eradication projects, treatment projects, projects that target major drug offenders, and projects which improve the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system, are eligible for funding.
A total of $34.5 million was made available in FY 2000 from the U.S. Department of Justice for drug enforcement projects and other improvements to the criminal justice system including construction of prisons.
CRIME VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND CRIME VICTIMS COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Federal funding of $505,000 was made available in FY 2002 to enhance direct services to victims, and to encourage states to develop and improve comprehensive services to all crime victims. Correspondingly, the Crime Victims Compensation Program provides monies to victims of crime usually for lost wages and for medical/funeral expenses. The Council received 1,400 claims in FY 2000. Crime victims were awarded $3.2 million during FY 2000. Victims can be compensated for out of pocket expenses up to a maximum of $10,000. Public awareness for this program will be increased through regional workshops and statewide victim conferences.
The Residential Substance Treatment program, administered by CJCC, provides funds to assist state criminal justice agencies and units of local government in developing and implementing residential substance abuse treatment programs within state and local correctional and detention facilities.
The Violent Offender Incarceration/Truth in Sentencing program provides immediate assistance to state and local governments to contend with the escalating inmate population crisis facing most corrections systems. The program is a cornerstone of the Governor's relentless efforts to maintain safe communities, deter violent crime, and help to ensure that such offenders serve a substantial portion of their prison sentences.

REVENUE MAXIMIZATION
To provide the increased services and program reforms needed in the state's human services agencies, Governor Barnes has sponsored a major effort to ensure that all federal reimbursement programs, to which Georgia citizens are entitled, are utilized to the fullest extent possible. The Department of Human Resources is one of the main agencies where revenue maximization initiatives are being implemented. The following provides a synopsis of federal maximization activities occurring in the divisions within the department.
DIVISION OF PUBLIC HEALTH Public Health programs, funded through state and
county programs have experienced a substantial reduction in federal Medicaid revenues over the past three years. Between FY 1998 and 1999 revenues dropped by 18% and have continued to decline since that time. The Department of Community Health (DCH), the state's Medicaid agency, has attempted to address these issues by increasing rates in certain services such as family planning. To prevent further erosion in local Public Health operations, DCH and DHR are currently working to determine additional administrative, service and public health education programs which can be supported with increased Medicaid reimbursement.
DIVISION OF FAMILY A ND CHILDREN SERVICES Child protective and child welfare services in
Georgia have come under increased public scrutiny during the past year. However, through extensive work at DHR and by the Task Force on Child Protective Services, recommendations have been made for major reforms in the service and oversight of Georgia's child protective and welfare services. The FY 2002 budget for the Division of Family and Children Services funds many of these recommendations through DHR's revenue maximization efforts. DHR has begun this new initiative to redesign programs in order to generate substantial new amounts of federal monies through both the Title IV-E (child welfare) part of the federal Social Security Act, and through major expansions in the scope of services funded through Georgia's Medicaid program. In addition, intensive work is occurring to ensure DHR clients are made eligible for IV-E or Medicaid funding when appropriate.
Medicaid funded services in DFCS historically have been limited to a small subset of community residential treatment programs (the MATCH Program, for example) and targeted case management programs. In fact, the number of child welfare clients eligible for residential and

child protective service funded through federal entitlement programs has been one of the lowest in the country. However, DHR estimates that its intensive IV-E eligibility project will increase the number of children eligible for IV-E funding between 20% and 25%. In addition, the Georgia Medicaid program is being exp anded to cover a much broader array of out-of-home care treatment programs as well as to broaden the community-based Medicaid service reimbursement through DFCS targeted case management and in-home family support services.
DIVISION OF MENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL RETARDATION, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Advocates for the mentally disabled have long asked for changes that will allow substantially more services to be provided and will increase the flexibility necessary to meet the needs of consumers in the community. The department and DCH are exploring ways to expand the fee-for-service Medicaid program to allow federal Medicaid reimbursement for mental retardation (MR) services currently provided to consumers who do not qualify for the mental retardation waiver services.
The limited array of Medicaid -eligible, community mental health (MH) services is being addressed in FY 2002 by substantially expanding programs and services available for reimbursement through Georgia's Medicaid program. Expansions are also underway to ensure that Medicaid-eligible mental health services provided to children in out-of-home settings receive reimbursement under existing Georgia Medicaid program provisions. In addition, the design phase of expanding coverage of other children's and adult mental health services through the Rehabilitation and Personal Care options in Medicaid has begun, as well as expansion of the state's Medicaid Targeted Case Management program.
To allow and ensure programmatic growth and control in accordance with program policy of the state, the Governor is recommending that state matching funds for MH and MR services administered by the department be transferred from DCH to DHR. This includes state funding for the mental retardation waiver programs as well as the matching funds for mental health services provided through Community Service Boards. This will allow greater administrative control, accountability and assurances that the program direction and quality is in accordance with DHR's policy.
In addition to the expansion of Medicaid in the community program services of MHMRSA, DCH has redesigned how state operated institutions receive their

271

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services

reimbursement from Medicaid. This has allowed increased federal participation for current cost in many institutions.
TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF)
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), commonly known as welfare, is the monthly cash assistance program for poor families with children under age 18. The amount of cash assistance is based on income and family size. For example, a family of three (mother and two children) may qualify for TANF if their gross income is below $784 a month and they have assets worth less than $1,000. The maximum monthly cash benefit for a family of three is $280.
Since the passage of federal welfare reform legislation in 1996, Georgia's welfare rolls have decreased by more than 55 percent, from more than 115,000 cases in January 1997 to 51,500 in October 2000. There is a four-year lifetime limit on cash assistance, and work activities are now a major component of TANF. Adult recipients with a child over age 1 are required to participate in a work activity. These work activities help recipients gain the experience needed to find a job and become self-sufficient.
Approximately 1,360 people in the state are expected to reach their four-year lifetime limit as of December 31, 2000, and another 2,633 who continue to receive benefits will reach their limit sometime in calendar year 2001. To prepare those recipients who will lose their benefits in the immediate future, DHR's Division of Rehabilitation Services is conducting assessments to determine their vocational skills and abilities and any physical, mental or emotional problems that might interfere with their working. In addition, the federal government designates geographic regions that have very limited job opportunities and allows TANF recipients in these areas to be exempt from the expiration of their benefits for limited periods of time. Of those whose benefits are scheduled to run out on December 31, approximately 215 did not appear to qualify for an exemption, or hardship waiver, that would allow them to stay in the program and continue to receive benefits. The Departments of Human Resources and Labor are working directly with these 215 recipients to identify and obtain employment if possible.
As the more skilled recipients leave the welfare rolls for jobs, DFCS faces the challenge of helping long-term, hard-to-place recipients become self-sufficient. Governor Barnes recognized this challenge and during FY 2001 authorized the release of over $70 million in surplus TANF funds based on the needs assessment and focused on substance abuse treatment, mental health services, transportation, childcare, transitional services, family planning, resettling the homeless, and domestic violence

services. In announcing the release of these funds, Governor Barnes noted "With Georgia's first group of welfare recipients reaching their lifetime limit for assistance this December, we needed a focused effort to help them make this transition and reach their maximum potential in the workplace."
The departments of Human Resources, Labor, and Technical and Adult Education have restructured state and local efforts so that each agency focuses its efforts on one goal: developing a job-ready workforce. DHR provides case management to those who need it, DTAE is the primary resource for training, and DOL takes the lead in job development and job placement. A key component of the TANF plan includes the GoodWorks project developed by the Department of Labor and the Department of Human Resources. GoodWorks is a comprehensive plan that helps Georgia's welfare families become self-sufficient. It includes employment activities such as job location and placement, subsidized wages and training, as well as programs such as special education, childcare, transportation and substance abuse treatment.
MENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL RETARDATION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICE SYSTEM REFORM
In 1992, Georgia's General Assembly created a State Commission on Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse (MHMRSA) Service Delivery to study gaps and shortcomings in the 150-year old system and to make recommendations for improvements. The commission brought together consumers, families, advocates, providers, public, and community leaders throughout the state.
The group focused on the issues of accessibility, accountability, equity, service coordination, consumer empowerment and privatization. The reform legislation, House Bill 100, passed the General Assembly and was signed into law by the Governor in April 1993.
The law created the framework for a new system and called for more local control and strong input from consumers and families. The key to the new system is the 13 governing boards that plan and coordinate MHMRSA services on a regional basis. The regional boards act as the front door to the service system and are the single point of accountability. They assess the needs in their regions and allocate all public funds, both community and hospital, based on regional plans to meet those needs.
Beginning July 1, 1999, a number of changes took place in community outpatient MHMRSA services. These changes are intended to make the system more accountable, flexible and work better for the consumers and their families. At the same time, the changes must

272

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services

make the system more efficient due to cuts in Medicaid funds for community outpatient MHMRSA clinic services funding. The changes included:
A wider array of day services became available. Day treatment programs became more specialized and offer intensive treatment, structure and supervision for those who truly need it. Other day services, focusing more on rehabilitation and peer support, are available for people who are ready for more independence.
Services are now monitored by an independent agency to determine if people are getting the quality of services they need from providers. Thus, when someone needs a change, he or she is more easily linked to other appropriate services.
More variety of services, easily tailored to individual needs, is available.
Standard rates for reimbursing providers have been set. In the past, rates for the same service have varied across the state.
An independent agency is ensuring the services are of a high quality and are having the desired outcomes. Outcomes will emphasize rehabilitation and recovery. The agency is reporting any identified problems to the regions and is assisting the regions in resolving them.
Children and teens that need mental health services and their families have more choice of providers beyond the public community service boards (CSBs).
Adults with mental illness and people with substance abuse problems also have more choice in service providers. In order to manage the reduction of Medicaid funds,
ensure continued service and honor the principles of the reform, the Department of Human Resources and the Department of Community Health have redesigned the community service system. The addition of service providers to the system increases competition and encourages providers to use funds. Adding service providers to the system increases competition and encourages providers to use funds wisely. Expanding the variety of available services makes it possible for people to move to less intense and less costly services as they become more independent.

PERFORMANCE

MEASUREMENT

AND

EVALUATION SYSTEM (PERMES) AND THE

CONSUMER SURVEY

The Georgia Performance Measurement and Evaluation System (PERMES) is a comprehensive outcome evaluation and measurement system. Its purpose is to improve the performance and accountability of the state's public mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse system. To do this, PERMES measures outcomes using various methods, including direct

observation, which allows the system to mark progress and make adjustments to improve service responsiveness, impact and quality.
The first cycle of data collection and evaluation began in FY 2000 and a report, which represents the first annual MHMRSA System Performance Profile, was released during FY 2001.
An initial set of 19 indicators was selected based on stakeholder preferences, national research standards and the priorities of the 13 regional boards. The indicators represent both system-wide and disability specific values and outcomes. There is a set of instruments and evaluation approaches to measure each indicator.
The most important element of the PERMES system is the statewide Consumer Survey. The survey process is designed to measure consumer perception of valued services, personal goals and certain key indicators of system performance: access, availability and satisfaction. Each service and/or disability category has its own specially tailored survey with each having in excess of 20 questions.
A total of 9,484 surveys were completed. A picture of Georgia's consumers emerges through the survey data and the data appears to fairly represent the state's consumer population.
Georgia's first Performance Profile or its public MHMRSA system represents a significant step forward for public accountability and performance improvement. The PERMES process and its various evaluation methods are designed to encourage policy-makers, advocates, consumers, families and providers to ask more questions and consistently seek improvement.
QUALITY CHILD CARE
Much of the research on human brain development has focused on the early years of life and how important these years are to a child's social, emotional and intellectual development. Additional research has established a clear link between the experiences provided by parents and other caregivers to a child's cognitive development, and that children coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are at higher risk for not reaching developmental benchmarks as desired. At-risk children tend to do more poorly in school, which can impact their future ability to obtain higher-paying employment, thus continuing the cycle of limited selfsufficiency.
Governor Barnes has recognized the imp ortance of early learning and established the goal that "Every child will be ready to learn by Kindergarten". The Governor

273

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services

has noted, "The years zero to three are the most critical years in a child's development. Ninety percent of a child's brain development is done by the time the child is three years old. We will never be able to address improvement in education until we come to grips with that."
Our nation has changed in the past thirty years, and although many of these changes have been positive, they have put new stresses on the family unit. What would have been considered the traditional family arrangement 30 years ago is not necessarily the norm today. Twoparent families where the mother stays home and raises the children are becoming the exception. More that half of the mothers in America work outside the home. Another significant trend over the past thirty years is the increase of single-parent families. Women who are often unable to climb out of the grasp of poverty head the majority of these families. In Georgia, one in five children lives in poverty, and one in ten lives below 50% of the federal poverty limit. In addition, a significant number of Georgia's babies are born to mothers who are teenagers, unmarried or lack a high school education.
Research has demonstrated that children in highquality preschool environments develop stronger language, mathematics, and social skills than those in low-quality settings. Upon entering school, these children have better relationships with their teachers and more positive self-perceptions. Several critical elements that comprise high-quality preschool care and how they are linked to school readiness have been identified. Some of these elements include low child to caregiver ratios, small group sizes, adequate caregiver training, and caregiver continuity.

Because so many Georgia children spend much of their time in the care of others, it is important to help ensure these children have a quality preschool experience. However, childcare regulations in Georgia are limited and less demanding than most states based on accreditation standards. For example, less than 9% of the approximately 2,200 private child care centers in Georgia are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and only 11 of approximately 7,600, or less than 1%, of private family child care homes are accredited by the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), nor are childcare centers required to be accredited to receive state subsidies for low-income children.

Because of the importance of early childcare and its

impact on children's subsequent success in school, the

state has a particular interest in ensuring that all children

have access to quality childcare. Governor Barnes si

recommending that $4.5 million in new state dollars, in

combination with $1.5 million in continuation funds,

begin a $6 million pilot program that will explore the

impact of financial incentives on the availability of higher

quality childcare. In partnership with the Georgia Early

Learning Initiative (GELI), the state will establish a

system of tiered reimbursement for childcare that will link

the rate the state will pay for subsidized childcare to the

qualifications and accreditation of childcare providers.

GELI will assist in this effort by providing funds to assist

in childcare provider training and in publicizing the

importance of quality childcare.

The tiered

reimbursement system will be voluntary and is intended

to give providers the incentive and resources to upgrade

and expand staffing, facilities and curriculum.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
General Administration and Support
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of General Administration and Support provides executive and policy direction, as well as technical and administrative support to all divisions and offices of DHR. The primary purpose of the division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management, administration, and programs. The division also assists in ensuring that the department complies with mandates and legal requirements.
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner and staff provide leadership for one
of the largest agencies in state government to ensure that the goals and objectives of the department are met. There are 23,383 state and county DHR employees in over 100 programs in over 1,000 locations in all 159 counties.
ADOPTION SERVICES The Office of Adoption Services is responsible for
increasing placement in permanent adoptive homes the children in DHR's custody. The office contracts with private adoption agencies for the recruitment of families and adoption support services.
AGING SERVICES The Office of Aging Services administers statewide
programs that provide community-based support services to the elderly. These services allow the elderly to remain in their homes and communities as long as possible and prevent premature or unnecessary placement in long-term care facilities. Services are classified in 2 broad categories: the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and Aging Services. CCSP provides client assessment, case management and 6 major categories of services, including home-delivered services to individuals who meet specific income and health-related criteria. Aging Services component has no income-based eligibility criteria but is targeted to the most economically or socially needy individuals. Services include senior centers, homedelivered and congregate meals, and Alzheimer's programs.
CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY BASED INITIATIVE The Family Connection's purpose is to help ensure that
Georgia's children are healthy, educated, and nurtured by strong and economically sufficient families through the development of partnerships in which state, county, and local organizations work together to improve results for children and families
CHILD SUPPORT Child Support Enforcement helps any custodial parent
or caretaker with collecting regular child support from a parent who should be contributing but is not. Over 290,000 parents were under court order to pay child support in FY

2000 on behalf of over 650,000 children in Georgia. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In FY 2000, over $411 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. The program operates from 74 offices in 47 Judicial Circuits. Legal assistance is provided by local Assistant District Attorneys or Special Assistant Attorneys General
FRAUD AND ABUSE The Office of Fraud and Abuse investigates suspected
fraud and abuse within DHR's public assistance programs and seeks adjudication through the judicial or administrative process. This office also receives, reviews, and investigates all reports of criminal misconduct by employees of the department.
REGULATORY SERVICES The Office of Regulatory Services inspects, monitors,
licenses, certifies, and registers a variety of health, longterm and child care programs to ensure that facilities and programs are operated in compliance with appropriate state laws and regulations.
UNIFIED STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION DHR operates a unified transportation system in 110
counties across the state. The system supports DFCS, DRS, Aging Services, and MHMRSA clients by providing transportation to employment, training, medical appointments, therapeutic treatment, community care, and childcare. In FY 2000, the system provided 1,086,331 trips to over 9,000 DHR clients.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Developmental Disabilities Council administers
a federal grant program to initiate innovative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.
The Georgia Child Care Council is responsible for administering a portion of the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant funds awarded to the state. The Council's overall purpose is to make quality child care accessible and affordable for all Georgians.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Division of Public Health Roles and Responsibilities

The general mission of the Division of Public Health is to assure conditions in which people can be healthy and to provide leadership in the prevention of disease and injury. Public Health accomplishes this mission through the provision of two broad categories of services: Individual health services - direct delivery of health
and medical care to individuals. Population-based services - activities and interventions
that are targeted to protect entire populations from illness, disease, and injury.
RANGE OF HEALTH SERVICES Approximately 20% of Georgia's residents, or 1.4
million individuals receive health services at county health departments each year. However, all Georgians benefit from the population-based services provided by the division. Specific duties of the Division of Public Health include: Preventing, controlling, and treating a variety of
diseases and afflictions which affect physical health, including cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, hypertension, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. Providing services in family planning, teenage pregnancy prevention, family health care, maternal and infant care, dental hygiene, community care for the elderly, malnutrition, and immunizations. Providing and disseminating health information and education. Conducting laboratory testing, epidemiological investigations, and reporting communicable and infectious diseases. Monitoring various aspects of environmental health including inspections of restaurants, sewage systems, hotels and motels, and other facilities for compliance with health laws. Collecting vital statistics and maintaining records of all births, deaths, marriages, and abortions occurring in Georgia. Licensing and regulating ambulance services and certifying emergency medical personnel.

"CORE" FUNCTIONS Because the responsibilities of Public Health have
evolved to be so broad and varied, there has been much discussion about what the basic role of Public Health should be. To address these concerns, the division has adopted three "core" functions: Assessment - analyzing and evaluating, on a
continuous basis, prevailing health status and health needs of the community. Policy Development - using the information gathered from assessments to develop and direct comprehensive state and local public health policies. Assurance - making sure that needed health services are available, either through the public or private sector, that address the health status and health needs of the community.
SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The Division of Public Health has 19 health district
offices located across the state. A director who must, by law, be a medical doctor heads each district office. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, and administrative and program support to the county health departments in the delivery of health services and in community health assessment.
In each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department that is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing, and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on an individual's income; however, no one can be denied services based on the inability to pay.
AUTHORITY Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated;
and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, up to and including Public Law 105-115.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Family and Children Services was established to administer and supervise the state's public assistance programs and social services. The mission of the division is to enable families and individuals to protect and care for their children and themselves. The division works to prevent dependency and to keep families together.
There are county departments of family and children services in each of Georgia's 159 counties. A county director and a local board administer the county offices. The county director oversees the daily operations and administers the programs in the county. The board serves as an advocate for the county department and approves the budget for the agency's operations and for county-funded programs. The County Commission appoints the board members.
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS DFCS is the state agency responsible for administering
the state's welfare program under the provisions of the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Title I, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This program replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The primary goal of the program has shifted from ensuring clients receive cash assistance to assisting needy families in becoming self-supporting through job preparation, work, and prevention of out-of-wedlock pregnancies.
Assistance to TANF recipients can be divided into 3 categories: work activities, support services, and cash assistance. Work activities include job searches, education and job training, and assistance with job placement. Support services such as child care, vouchers for housing, transportation, emergency needs, and other necessary expenditures will assist the family toward work and prevent the need for cash assistance. Cash assistance is provided to TANF recipients either by check or electronic benefit transfer. TANF benefits are available to eligible recipients for a lifetime maximum of 48 months.
TANF program services are available statewide at the county level. Services are directed by the county Department of Family and Children Services in collaboration with other local public and private agencies. A range of job placement, job preparation, and support services are available at the local level but vary in content based on the availability of local resources. Work participation is a major component of the TANF program. Adult recipients, including those with children over the age of 1, are required to participate in a work activity. All services are provided in keeping with the goal of reducing

dependency by assisting recipients in leaving cash assistance as soon as possible and by diverting applicants from joining the rolls when they apply for assistance.
SOCIAL SERVICES DFCS caseworkers receive over 78,000 reports of child
abuse and neglect annually. The staff investigates each report and assesses the level of risk the family situation poses to the child. If danger exists, a foster home or emergency shelter placement is found to provide temporary care. In 1999 there were 47,032 child protective services cases in Georgia with over 14,000 children taken into the protective custody of the state.
Children whose parents have relinquished custody to DHR, children of parents whose rights have been terminated by the judicial system, or children who otherwise are without parental support are available for adoptions through the state. The State Office of Adoptions, attached to the Commissioner's Office, is discussed in the Roles and Responsibilities pages concerning the Division of General Administration and Support.
DFCS also operates the Adult Protective Services (APS) Program which protects disabled adults and the elderly who are victims of domestic abuse, neglect or exploitation. APS workers provide a series of protective services which range from information and referral to court ordered guardianship. Under state law, county DFCS directors may be named to serve as the guardian of last resort in situations of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. APS is also responsible for personal care home relocations in situations where a resident's health and safety are at risk. In 1999 APS provided protective services to over 5,000 clients throughout the state.
MULTI-AGENCY TEAM FOR CHILDREN This program purchases intensive and intermediate
residential treatment and therapeutic foster care for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment may include the services of psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, and other medical professionals.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse was created within the Department of Human Resources to establish, administer and supervise the state programs for mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse. The division is charged by law to:
Provide adequate mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services to all Georgians.
Provide a unified system which encourages cooperation and sharing among government and private providers.
Provide services through a coordinated and unified system that emphasizes community-based services.
The mission of the division is to provide and promote the services necessary to prevent and reduce the disabling effects of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse. These services are designed to maximize the client's level of personal and social competency, independence, and self-sufficiency.
SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM
The division is responsible for setting policy regarding the use of all federal and state funds and allocating funds to 13 regional boards. Regional boards contract for community mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse services with county boards of health, community service boards, and private organizations based on estimated service needs in a defined population. The types of services for which they contract include: emergency, diagnostic, alcohol and drug treatment, day treatment training, supported employment, residential, counseling, therapy, case management, and community educational services.
The division and the regional planning boards are responsible for setting outcome measures, monitoring, and evaluating the achievements of service providers. Twentyeight community service boards have been established to govern the operation of public mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse community services. The regional and community boards are responsible for encouraging availability of consumer choice of providers by expanding participation of public and private providers.
STATE HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS
There are 7 regional hospitals located in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah, and Thomasville, which primarily address psychiatric and substance abuse problems. Patients are also sent to these

hospitals by court order for evaluation before trial and for treatment if found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. One state institution, Gracewood State School and Hospital in Augusta, serves people with mental retardation exclusively. Four of the regional hospitals have special units serving people with severe mental retardation.
The 8 institutions provide inpatient and outpatient services, therapies, and other support services to clients within multi-county service areas.
AREA PROGRAMS
The 28 community service areas are made up of a variety of dispersed but coordinated subprograms serving all age and primary disability groups. This service network includes community mental health center clinic sites, mental retardation day training centers, detoxification units, 28-day treatment programs for substance abusers, day treatment programs for adolescent substance abusers, and a variety of residential programs for all disability groups. There are also a number of community programs operated through contracts with private nonprofit agencies.
This service network delivers comprehensive preventive, early detection, rehabilitation, and treatment services for adults with serious or chronic mental illness, children, and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, people with mental retardation, adults addicted to alcohol or other drugs and teens with alcohol and drug problems. Clients most in need are those with social, emotional, developmental, and/or physical disabilities resulting from mental illness, mental retardation, or substance abuse, who, without state-supported services, are unable to function.
With the involvement of the clients and their families, program staff develop an individual service plan for each client. The people who do not meet the most-in-need criteria receive short-term crisis intervention and referral to other public and private services. Community staff also screen patients for admission to regional hospitals and give follow-up care to patients dis charged from the hospitals.

COMMUNITY SERVICES Purpose: Assist older Georgians and persons with disabilities to live healthy, independent, and self-sufficient lives in their homes and communities and avoid or delay costly nursing home placements by providing a continuum of services.

Goal 1: Older Georgians and Georgians with disabilities will avoid costly nursing home placements and will improve their health and nutritional status. -Community Care Services Program participants will delay admission to nursing homes an average of 39 months or longer in FY 2002.

FY 2000 Desired
>32 months

State Funds

$47,389,590 $54,672,952 $65,931,709

Notes:

1 - The FY 2001 desired result for the first result was increased from >32 months; the FY 2001 desired result for the second result was

decreased from 17,160 participants. This is because as program participants are able to delay admission to nursing home facilities for longer

periods of time, funds allocated to the program are used to support those participants and are not available for new clients.

2 - The system which is being developed to provide data for this measure has not progressed enough to provide reliable data. Therefore, the Program has replaced the fourth desired result which measures nutritional status at 3 months. The replacement result, which measures nutritional status within 12 months of entering the program, measures the degree to which program participants are able to maintain improved (or sustained) nutritional status and is based on a sample of approximately 10% of the persons served in FY 2000, based on data available at this time.

Notes:

1 - There is a one year delay in reporting actual data; therefore, FY 2000 Actual Results are based upon FY 1999 data which is based on partial

data because there is a three quarters' delay in the Department of Labor's wage reporting system.

2 - Original employment projections were too optimistic; the FY 2002 has been revised downward to reflect more attainable results.

3 - The wording for this result was revised to more accurately reflect what is measured. The goal formally read: "At least 25% of Senior Community Service Employment Program participants who complete the program in FY 2001 will obtain and retain employment for at least 3 months."
4 - Functions relating to these goals were transferred to the Department of Labor.

FAMILY SUPPORT Purpose: Support healthy, self-sufficient families by ensuring that needy families receive temporary cash assistance, employment supports,
and can buy necessary food, and that noncustodial parents provide financial support for their children.

Goal 1: Noncustodial parents will provide financial support for their minor children. -The percentage of noncustodial parents with a support order from whom the program was successful in collecting child support payments during the year will decrease by 2% from 70% in FY 2001 to 68% in FY 2002.

Notes:

1 - Originally, this result, the statewide teen pregnancy rate, was to measure the reduction in teen pregnancies due to the TeenPlus Program;

however, the impact of this program could not be isolated from other factors relating to the reduction of teen pregnancy.

2 - The survey of parents has been replaced by an more objective assessment of progress. 3 - Results are based on a sampling in 3 districts.

PROTECTION Purpose: Provide services and conduct activities necessary to protect Georgians from violence and exploitation in their homes; from unsafe
conditions in health and child care facilities; from infectious and chronic disease; and from environmental hazards.

Child and Adult Protection (Subprogram)

Purpose: Protect children, the elderly, and disabled adults from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Goal 1: Child physical abuse incidents involving serious injury and cases of repeated abuse will be reduced. -The number of confirmed child physical abuse with serious injury during FY 2002 will not exceed the FY 2001 number - 562.

Note: 1 - This desired result is a measure of the extent of Georgia's child abuse problem. An increase in the number of confirmed maltreatment incidents may not be an indicator of poor program performance. An increase can be due to many things, for example: increase in number of children in Georgia; increases in family stress; inadequacies related to State intervention in high-risk families or in previous reported but unconfirmed reports of maltreatment; better reporting of alleged maltreatment; and/or more intensive investigation of allegations of abuse.

Family Connection Notes: 1 - Between FY 1998 and today, the number of Family Connection counties has grown from 86 to 155. While the desired results have remained constant since the adoption of the Benchmarks for Children and Families in 1996, the methodology used in the RBB submission has had to be revised to accommodate this rapid growth. This year an aggregate rate was calculated for Family Connection counties which are addressing each benchmark. The FY 2000 actual results represent a new baseline. For this reason, their are no FY 2000 desired results and, when there are no FY 2000 actual results, FY 2001 and FY 2002 desired results are not projected.
2 - These data, which are provided by the Division of Public Health, Department of Human Resources, have not been released thus no FY 2000 actual results can be reported and no FY 2001 and FY 2002 can be projected.
3 - Data did not arrive in time for inclusion in the analysis. 4 - Data must be recalculated due to a change in the test and scoring. 5 - Data for these results are extracted from U.S. Census Data and are not available annually.

Notes:

1 - Program grantees give their county DFCS offices a list of all program participants for the year. DFCS provides the program with the

number of families on the list in which an incident of child abuse or neglect was substantiated that year. Because of the variation in the types

of programs funded (long-term intensive home visitation along with parenting classes of varying duration), the participant list may include

names of persons who have not yet completed the program and those who completed the program as many as 9 months ago.

2 - When this desired result was developed, the commission hoped to measure the percentage of program participants with no confirmed (substantiated) cases of child maltreatment within 12 months of participating in the program; this information is unavailable. The current result, which provides a limited indication of program impact, will be revised to provide more valid and reliable information during FY 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism administers programs through four divisions to promote and encourage the responsible development of tourism, business, and industry in the state.
ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING The Administration Division provides organizational
support to the department, including budgetary, personnel, accounting, and procurement services. The division also administers the marketing funds for the department's economic development, trade, and tourism programs. The Planning, Research and Evaluation unit provides research and planning needed for all department functions, the Governor, and the General Assembly.
The Film and Videotape Office, an independent unit reporting directly to the Commissioner, functions to develop and promo te the state's film, television, and commercial production industry. Film Office staff actively pursue film prospects through direct mail marketing, prospect visits, advertising, and trade show participation. The Film Office also provides on-location assistance to production companies and coordinates the filming needs of companies with other state agencies and local governments.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Economic Development Division promotes
Georgia as a location for domestic and international businesses by providing accurate information on such topics as wage data, labor availability, and taxes on potential sites, by accompanying industry officials on tours of communities for prospective industrial development, and by helping support local communities in their business development programs. In addition, the economic development efforts include coordinating the support and operations of the overseas offices in Tokyo and Brussels.
The department's regional sales and marketing representatives are part of the Economic Development Division. The regional sales managers work with existing industry to facilitate business retention and expansion. The regional marketing managers work with local communities to improve their economic development marketing efforts. The regional representatives also serve to bring the staff in Atlanta closer to the needs and opportunities that exist in Georgia's communities.
The Economic Development Division also provides staff support to the Georgia Allies, a public -private marketing partnership. The strategic focus of the Georgia Allies is to target industries that build on Georgia's competitive strengths and position the state well in the economy of the 21st century. Allies marketing presents to businesses the qualities and character that have made Georgia one of the world's most desirable business centers and corporate relocation sites for targeted industries.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE The role of the International Trade Division is to
promote the sale of Georgia products and services to customers abroad and to coordinate all facets of international trade and export in the state. Through the U.S. Export Assistance Center, the Trade Division assists small and medium-sized businesses involved in exporting with trade leads, market analysis, trade shows, and identification of financial assistance options. Coordination of international trade assistance is accomplished through: International programs --building relationships with Georgia companies to develop programs that will lead to increased sales of Georgia companies in foreign markets. In-state programs --building relationships with local private sector partners to increase awareness among Georgia companies of the benefits of exporting. Trade contracts --developing and contracting for identification of trade opportunities in markets throughout the world.
TOURISM The Tourism Division's role is to increase the number
of travelers to Georgia by providing information services and by developing a marketing strategy that leads travelers to choose Georgia as a vacation destination. Through regional tourism representatives, the division assists local and regional tourism associations in the development of effective tourism programs.
The Tourism Division is responsible for ensuring that the state's 11 visitor information centers are operated in a manner that encourages visitors to return to Georgia. These centers serve over 15 million visitors annually with travel information and assistance.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Ports Authority is responsible for the
operation, administration and maintenance of Georgia's four ports -- 2 ocean ports located in Savannah and Brunswick, and 2 inland river ports located in Columbus and Bainbridge. The authority promotes the port facilities to shipping lines worldwide through its sales offices in Atlanta, New York, Tokyo, Oslo, and Athens. The Ports Authority receives no state operating funds.
The Georgia World Congress Center Authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), the Georgia Dome, and Centennial Olympic Park. The GWCC is responsible for promoting and servicing regional, national and international events, conventions, and trade shows which generate economic benefits to the state. The Dome is the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The state provides no operating funds to the authority.
AUTHORITY Title 50-7, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

321

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM
Strategies and Services

The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism (DITT) is Georgia's lead agency for attracting new business investment, encouraging the expansion of existing industry, locating new markets for Georgia products, attracting tourists to Georgia, and promoting the state as a location for film and video projects. The department offers services through 3 major programmatic divisions - Economic Development, International Trade, and Tourism.
ONEGEORGIA AUTHORITY The latest tool in Georgia's effort to support local and
regional economic development efforts was rolled out in FY 2001 with the creation of the OneGeorgia Authority. The authority, created by Governor Barnes and the Legislature, will utilize one third of the state's tobacco settlement to assist the state's most economically challenged areas. An estimated $1.6 billion in funding for rural development is anticipated over the 25-year term of the settlement. OneGeorgia tobacco-funded investments will be targeted towards tier 1 and 2 counties, based on the new four-tier job tax credit map, which is effective January 1, 2001. Tier ranking is based on unemployment and poverty rates in addition to per capita income.
The two major types of assistance that the OneGeorgia Authority will provide to rural communities are in the following areas: business development and infrastructure projects. Two funds have been set up to provide this aid: the EDGE (Economic Development, Growth and Expansion) Fund and the Equity Fund.
Recognizing the importance of recruiting companies to provide jobs in rural Georgia, Governor Barnes set up the EDGE Fund within the OneGeorgia Authority to facilitate the location and expansion of firms in rural Georgia. Eligible uses of EDGE funds are the development of public infrastructure, land acquisition and site development. Financial assistance is provided only in instances where a project would not come about in the absence of the assistance.
The Equity Fund, which is the infrastructure and capacity building portion of the OneGeorgia Authority, is centered on the principle that Georgia's communities must be empowered to help themselves. Locally initiated projects compete for assistance from the fund in one of three funding rounds per year. The Equity Fund regulations were written to be very broad and flexible and can be used for a variety of activities to assist in preparation for economic development. Eligible projects include traditional economic development projects such as water and sewer projects, road, rail and airport improvements and industrial parks as well as workforce development projects, technology development or tourism development proposals. The Authority seeks to fund strategically sound projects with substantial local leveraged investment and an important impact on local

and regional economies. Projects that involve regional cooperation and/or significant impacts on regional economies are particularly encouraged.
The Governor's FY 2002 Budget includes $34,131,677 for rural development through the OneGeorgia Authority. An additional $17,871,416 is recommended in the Amended FY 2001 budget. In addition, the FY 2002 transfers the Regional Economic Business Assistance (REBA) program from the Department of Community Affairs to the OneGeorgia Authority. At the same time, an additional $2,152,853 is provided for REBA, bringing total funding available for FY 2002 projects to $5 million. REBA funds will continue to be available to all counties in the state, without respect to tier designation. This increased REBA funding is in addition to the $10 million in tobacco settlement funds available for business development assistance to tier 1 and 2 counties through the EDGE Fund.
GEORGIA ALLIES TARGETED MARKETING The Georgia Allies program is a public/private
marketing partnership in which state funds for economic development marketing are matched 1:1 by funds from private organizations with an interest in statewide development. This program aims to build focus, communication, and collaboration among economic development actors. The Georgia Allies partnership seeks to leverage the state's resources, branding Georgia's efforts under a singular voice and look.
The state's partners in this effort currently include 13 businesses with a statewide presence and a stake in the Georgia's growth. These partners each contribute $50,000 for a total of $600,000 in private funding. This is currently matched by $600,000 in funding from the State. In FY 2002, the Governor increases Allies funding to $1 million. This will match increased private sector funding obtained through an expansion of the Allies membership.
One key aspect of the efforts of the Georgia Allies is the targeting of industry sectors that hold the most promise for Georgia. Sectors currently being targeted for recruitment to Georgia are corporate headquarters, corporate location firms, research & development operations, high technology firms and industries, sports businesses, tourism businesses, and traditional industry for rural Georgia. As the state's economic development strategy evolves, these industry targets will be modified to keep the state on the cutting edge of the global economy.
Georgia Allies' projects and events are aimed at increasing the awareness of key decision-makers in targeted industries of the value of doing business in Georgia, strengthening existing relationships between top business and government leaders in Georgia, and fostering new relationships with decision-makers in targeted industries. This is achieved through planned

322

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services

events designed to build relationships, focused research projects aimed at building Georgia's capacity in targeted areas, and high level advertising campaigns.
Recent Allies' initiatives include sponsorship and participation in a FORBES premier CEO conference, which attracted over 200 CEO's to Atlanta reaching all target sectors, hosting a Site Location Consultants' Invitational designed to bring senior consultants to Georgia for a PGA Tournament Championship, and funding a MEGA sites analysis aimed at identifying the best sites for the state's largest economic development projects.
TOURISM RECRUITMENT In FY 1999, the Tourism Division released the results
of the 1998 Tourism Marketing Study. The study's findings reflected very favorably on the state's marketing efforts. The study shows that Georgia ranks #2 in the Southeast as a travel destination. Moreover, particular efforts of the department received high ratings for effectiveness. The Georgia on My Mind Travel Guide was cited as an excellent publication, and the Visitors Centers received very favorable reviews from citizens.
In FY 2002, the Governor continues the enhanced level of funding for tourism marketing begun in FY 2001. The FY 2002 budget includes $4.5 million in marketing funds for tourism. This funding will be used to market Georgia tourism to visitors in the Southeast, in other parts of the U.S., and abroad.
Another key piece of Governor Barnes' FY 2002 tourism initiative is tourism product development. The Amended FY 2001 Budget includes funding for tourism infrastructure projects in a variety of locations throughout the state.
The amended budget includes $5 million in bond funds for the Jekyll Island Authority for improvements to the island. Of this funding, $2.5 million will provide for improvements to the historic district, as part of a threeyear plan to revitalize the area. In addition $2.5 million will allow the authority to initiate a plan to improve the island's golf courses. This state funding will serve as seed money to assist the authority in leveraging private investment over the next several years.
In addition, the Governor recommends a number of projects in the Department of Community Affairs that will improve the tourism infrastructure of cities throughout the state. Governor Ba rnes recommends $10 million in Amended FY 2001 Budget for the City of Augusta to continue revitalization efforts. In addition, $11 million is recommended for the City of Columbus to assist with improvements to the convention center and the Liberty Theater. The amended budget also includes $5 million for the Flint River Center in Albany, $1,750,000 for the Harriet Tubman Museum in Bibb County, and $500,000 for the Thunder Road/NASCAR Hall of Fame in Dawsonville.

FILM AND VIDEOTAPE PROJECT RECRUITMENT
The Governor's FY 2002 budget continues the enhanced level of funding for film and videotape project recruitment. The FY 2002 budget includes $483,000 in marketing funds for the Film and Videotape Office.
In FY 2000, the Governor reinstated the Georgia Film and Videotape Advisory Commission, which had been inactive for a number of years. The commission is a group of 38 professionals from a variety of fields that will advise the film division on matters of marketing, community relations, and private sector incentives.
The department has intensified its film recruitment efforts over the last year. The budget includes funding for a film location scout who will work outside the state to recruit film business for Georgia. The department is also working to identify service expansion opportunities in the recorded music industry.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE PROMOTION The International Trade Division works to promote
international trade opportunities for Georgia companies. The division oversees the activities of international trade representatives in 8 countries who work to provide an entre for Georgia companies into markets abroad. In addition, industry-specific trade specialists in the Atlanta office work with Georgia companies to establish partnerships with companies abroad. Finally, the International Trade Division works with its federal partners in the U.S. Export Assistance Center to provide assistance to Georgia companies in securing financial assistance for exporting.
The Governor's FY 2002 budget includes $235,000 in continuation funding for an e-commerce trade initiative. This project, which will serve as a pilot project for the state, will link Georgia businesses with potential partners in Europe and Israel.
THE YAMACRAW MISSION Governor Barnes' FY 2002 budget continues the
state's focus on high technology industry base development for Georgia. The Yamacraw Mission, launched in FY 2000, brings together the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, the Georgia Research Alliance, and the University System with the express goal of making Georgia the preeminent leader in the design of electronic components for the communications and computer industries.
Governor Barnes' recommends an additional $275,000 in marketing funding for the Yamacraw Mission in the FY 2002 budget. This funding will be used for human resources recruitment marketing aimed at assisting the Yamacraw Design Center companies meet their job goals. Additional enhancements for the Yamacraw Mission are found in the Board of Regents.
The benefits to be gained from the Yamacraw Mission are far-reaching. By 2005, this initiative aims to

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services

add 2,000 high paying engineering jobs to Georgia, locate or see established 10 key companies within the state, and increase fourfold the supply of venture capital available to fledgling Georgia businesses in this industry sector. The project's long-term goal is to build a sustainable economic environment anchored in knowledge-based industries.
GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY The Port of Savannah is one of the premier container
ports in the U.S., offering service to more than 100 countries by more than 50 major steamship lines. Savannah is the ninth largest container port in the United States and the second largest in the highly competitive South Atlantic market. In FY 2000, the Port of Savannah enjoyed another record performance in fiscal year 2000 -a record total of 9,589,181 tons of containerized, general and bulk cargo moved through the Georgia Ports Authority's (GPA) deepwater facilities in Savannah during the 12-month period. This represents a 5.4% increase over the previous fiscal year.
Containerized shipping represents 72.5% of the Georgia Ports Authority's (GPA) total tonnage in Savannah and more than 50% of all cargo handled statewide. During FY 2000, containerized cargo was up 12.2% over FY 1999, resulting in a record 6,956,343 tons. Also during FY 2000, 7 steamship lines either expanded or established new business at the Port of Savannah. These included weekly services by global giants MaerskSeaLand and Evergreen Corporation.
The Port of Brunswick continues to play an important role in the movement of general cargo and specializes in handling automobiles, machinery and Georgia based forest products such as woodpulp, linerboard, plywood and paper products. Cargo handled via the Port of Brunswick rebounded during FY 2000 with a record number of automobiles shipped via the Colonel's Island Terminal. Cargo handled at Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) facilities at the Port of Brunswick during FY 2000 totaled 2,420,869 tons, an increase of 1.6% as compared to FY99 results. Colonel's Island auto count recorded more than 195,000 units, up 18.1% from last year and was utilized by more than 20 major automotive and machinery manufacturers during FY 2000 alone.
Responding to the increased demand on terminal capacity, the Governor recommends $6,000,000 in bonds for design and engineering for an 8th container berth, CB8 at the Savannah Garden City Terminal. Future expansion into CB-8 will allow the Port of Savannah to more effectively meet the demands of increased trade, while continuing to support efforts to attract new business

and growth opportunities for Georgians throughout the state.
In FY 2001, the Governor has agreed to allow the authority to retain $8,884,000 due to the state as payback for debt in prior years. This will allow for partial funding of phase I of a silt suspension system and for property for a breakbulk cold storage facility.
The Governor will also allow $14,858,000 in debt reduction for GPA in FY 2002. This reduction allows for partial funding for the upgrade and overlay of Ports storage areas, phase II of a silt suspension system, phase II of a fiber optic network for Ports communications, and north-south access road on Colonel's Island. This year's debt reduction will reimburse GPA for FY 2001 property acquisition around the Garden City Terminal. These property purchases should complete the necessary acquisitions to allow for future expansion in the Garden City Triangle area and for completion of the Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility.
GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER
The Georgia World Congress Center Authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park. The GWCC, which opened its doors in 1976, is an international trade show and convention facility legislatively created to encourage economic development and to enhance private enterprise.
The Governor's Amended FY 2001 Budget includes $16.7 million for projects associated with the Phase IV expansion of the GWCC. This includes $15 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment necessary for operation of the building. In addition, $1.7 million in bonds is provided to construct a surface parking lot on the Northside Drive site. Additional parking for the GWCC is necessary both to replace the parking lot that was lost to the Phase IV expansion site and to accommodate increased traffic volumes associated with this new facility.
The Phase IV expansion will add 1.3 million square feet to the building, increasing exhibit space by over 420,000 square feet and enabling the GWCC to maintain its position as one of the top 5 convention centers in the nation. This expansion will allow the facility to continue to attract and maintain larger trade shows and to accommodate more meetings and shows simultaneously.
The projected return on this investment is substantial. The expansion is expected to attract an estimated 500,000 additional out-of-state visitors, create 19,000 new jobs each year, and generate $53 million in new tax revenues.

DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Office of Commissioner of Insurance is accountable for upholding state laws regulating insurance, fire safety, mobile homes, and small loans. The department organizes its efforts in fulfilling these responsibilities around 5 divisions.
INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION DIVISION The Internal Administration Division provides
management, policy direction, enforcement, and administrative support for the department's programs which regulate companies and protect consumers in the areas of insurance, industrial loan regulation, fire safety, manufactured housing, arson investigation, building inspection, hazardous material handling and storage, and other related areas. The division's activities include performing personnel, purchasing, payroll, budgeting, and accounting duties for all agency divisions; and establishing department policy, procedures, regulations, and enforcement capabilities.
INSURANCE REGULATION DIVISION The Insurance Regulation Division is responsible for
administering Georgia insurance laws and regulations by reviewing and approving insurance company property; casualty, life, accident and sickness policy forms, and rates; approving applications for insurance companies to conduct business in Georgia; approving applications for individuals to obtain insurance agent licenses; and regulating group self-insurance funds for workers' compensation insurance. The division oversees the regulation of automobile selfinsurers, Captive Insurance Companies, and Interlocal Risk Management.
INDUSTRIAL LOAN REGULATION DIVISION The Industrial Loan Regulation Division administers
the Georgia Industrial Loan Act by performing

examinations and on-site investigations of all accounts held by the industrial loan companies (small loan companies making loans of $3,000 or less) licensed to do business in Georgia, accounting for all fees and taxes payable by the industrial loan companies, and approving applications for new industrial loan company licenses and investigating consumer complaints.
FIRE SAFETY AND MOBILE HOME REGULATION DIVISION
The Fire Safety and Mobile Home Regulation Division administers and enforces compliance with Georgia and federal laws affecting manufactured housing and fire safety by reviewing applications for license and permits to use or store hazardous or physically unstable substances and materials, and by reviewing construction plans for public buildings and manufactured houses for adequate fire hazard prevention and protection. The division inspects public facilities for compliance with Georgia's fire safety laws and investigates cases involving suspicious fires in Georgia.
SPECIAL INSURANCE FRAUD UNIT The Special Insurance Fraud Unit investigates, upon
request, claims fraud against insurance companies. This unit was established through enactment of HB 616 of the 1995 General Assembly with the goal of reducing the incidence of insurance fraud and the resulting financial burden it places on the insurance industry and the consumer.
AUTHORITY State Constitution; Official Code of Georgia Annotated
Title 45-14.

332

DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
Strategies and Services

The Office of Commissioner of Insurance administers a number of strategies and services to fulfill its duties in regulating the state's insurance industry, industrial loan companies, and fire safety standards. These activities are geared toward enabling the department to satisfy its regulatory responsibilities effectively and to protect and assist the public in the areas the department oversees. Highlighted below are the some of these programs and developments; namely, Implementation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Consumer Services, Manufactured Housing, Fire Safety Education, and Hazardous Materials.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
In 1996, the federal government passed into law the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (i.e., Kassebaum-Kennedy Health Insurance Reform Bill), which require each state to enact and enforce the guidelines established in this act regarding health insurance plans. As a result, the 1997 General Assembly passed HB 654 to serve as the state law implementing the federal act. The department's responsibility is to educate employers and the public about the changes in the federal and state statutes concerning health insurance and to enforce these new requirements. The main changes both pieces of legislation made in health insurance law were in the areas of pre-existing condition exclusions, crediting coverage with the alternative method, special enrollment, affiliation periods, non-discrimination and guaranteed renewability, certificates of creditable coverage, and the state's alternative mechanism of obtaining portability of coverage when an individual loses group health insurance coverage. The department plans to inform the public of these changes in the law through newsletters and press releases among other means. Initially though, much of the department's efforts regarding these new requirements concerning health insurance are expected to be devoted to monitoring and enforcement due to the number of health insurance policy refilling many insurance companies will have to make.
CONSUMER SERVICES The Consumer Services Division functions to assist
citizens with insurance concerns. Toward this end, the division's activities include interceding in cla ims and other insurance-related disputes; educating the general public on a variety of insurance issues using public presentations, publications and other means; assisting the public on insurance matters occurring after a disaster; and referring persons to the appropriate special programs state and federal agencies may offer to resolve a situation beyond the department's purview. Investigation of claims and other insurance related disputes is the division's major

activity. Forty-three investigators located in regions statewide handle cases. These investigators interview insurance company personnel, independent adjusters, insurance agents, and the complaining party, as well as review all related documentation to determine if the complaint filed is valid. Once this research and analysis of the complaint is completed, the investigator reports the results to the parties involved and works with them to resolve the complaint. The division closed 81,291 cases in FY 2000 and recovered over $9.1 million for consumers.
The division also aids other divisions within the department in a range of areas. For example, the division investigators routinely furnish support to: the Enforcement and Fraud Units in evidence procurement and case prosecution; Agents Licensing and Regulatory Services with records checks on agents and companies; and the Research Division on legislative matters.

MANUFACTURED HOUSING The Manufactured Housing section of the Fire Safety
& Mobile Home Regulation Division administers, in conjunction with the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Act of 1974. This act requires that manufactured houses be built and installed according to established state and national standards. The Manufactured Housing section, under its 20-year association with HUD, enforces this act through the inspection and licensing of manufacturers, dealers and installers of manufactured housing who comply with the federal and state standards regarding this product. Manufactured housing plant reviews usually entail the examination and approval of each housing design plan and quality assurance manual. Before a plant commences

333

DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE -- Strategies and Services

operation, an initial comprehensive inspection is conducted involving all aspects of production and material handling, along with testing and evaluating the plant's quality assurance program. Plants in operation are inspected regularly. During these inspections, each section of each home is inspected in at least 1 phase of the production process, to assure compliance. The plant and the homes it produces must be in full compliance with federal and state standards before a HUD label of approval can be placed on the manufactured homes and these homes can be offered for sale. The Manufactured Housing section also regulates the sale and installation of manufactured homes through inspecting manufactured homes on dealer lots for possible damage during transit to the dealer, for dealer alterations and other violations. Inspections can be prompted by consumer complaints.
Presently, section staff have the responsibility of enforcing federal and state manufactured housing standards for the 26 licensed in-state plants and 93 out-ofstate manufacturers licensed to conduct business in Georgia. Section staff regulate 780 licensed manufactured housing dealers and 542 licensed installers.

FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION The Fire Safety Division, through its Fire Safety
Education Program, develops instructional programs on and promotes awareness of fire safety. The program's efforts emphasize a person's responsibility for fire prevention and fire safety measures at home, school, work, and other areas. In this regard, the program coordinates the efforts of the commissioner, news media, State Fire Marshal's Office, and the department's Public Education section to educate the public on fire safety in a clear, organized fashion. The program is attempting to further educate the public on fire safety by expanding its involvement in several organizations such as the Coalition of Public Fire Safety Educators, Safe Kids of Georgia, and the Emergency Management Services Advisory Council.
Prompted by the importance and the effectiveness of learning and practicing fire safety at an early age, the program is initiating new and expanding current efforts directed at school-age students as a way of reaching and teaching children about fire safety. Some of these efforts include the Learn Not To Burn, Challenge For Life, and Junior Fire Marshal programs, as well as the acquisition of a mobile fire safety house where live demonstrations of fire safety techniques can be presented to school and public groups. Other areas in which the program is active include smoke detector distribution programs, establishing a volunteer fire safety education-teaching group, and developing the cooperation necessary for joint efforts by the local fire services and the local boards of education to encourage fire safety education activities in every school.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS The Fire Safety Division's Hazardous Materials
section enforces areas designated to the department concerning the storage, transportation, and handling of hazardous materials including liquid propane gas, anhydrous ammonia, flammable and combustible liquids, explosives, welding gases, natural gases, and blasting agents. The section, under this responsibility, conducts inspections, issues permits and licenses, investigates hazardous materials incidents, and enforces applicable fire safety codes. The section also reviews plans and specifications for proposed bulk storage facilities of these substances. The section must approve these plans and specifications before construction can begin on a proposed hazardous material bulk storage facility. The section is also assigned the department's responsibility to regulate the manufacture, transport, use, sale, and storage of explosives through licensing the individuals or organizations involved in those activities. To complement its regulatory duties, the section conducts education and training programs on storing, transporting, and handling hazardous materials in an effort to continue minimizing the loss of life and property from hazardous materials fire incidents.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is responsible for protecting the public's safety, providing services whose outcome results in changed behavior, and ensuring accountability for juveniles assigned to its custody. In fulfilling this responsibility, DJJ is to provide for the supervision, detention, and rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody by: Maintaining safe, secure, and constitutionally
acceptable detention facilities; Providing programs and other services directed toward
developing changed juvenile behavior; Developing and implementing programs designed to
ensure individual accountability of youth within its custody; Operating and providing prevention programs; Providing for the treatment of juvenile offenders with specialized needs; and Ensuring departmental employee accountability to the public. Aside from internal support, including an independent quality assurance division, DJJ carries out its operations through 2 main divisions: facilities and community corrections.
FACILITIES The Facilities Division is responsible for operating all
secure detention facilities that provide both temporary and long-term secure care. The division is divided into 2 primary sections: Regional Youth Detention Centers and Youth Development Campuses.
Youth development campuses are secure state institutions that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services.
Two types of beds exist in the YDC system. The first is a regular commitment bed filled with a child committed to the state by a juvenile court. These youths may stay in a commitment status for up to 5 years, but may or may not spend all of that time within a YDC. The second type of child is one sentenced by a juvenile court to spend 90 days within a state YDC.
The department performs thorough assessments of those youth designated to spend time within the YDC system. The classification system of DJJ incorporates risk to self and others, age, size, previous conduct, offense history, special needs, etc. In this way, the department can tailor the services given the child while ensuring his or her safety.
Currently, the department operates 10 YDCs throughout the state with a total of 2,410 beds. Individual institutions range in size from 114 to 475 beds. In FY 2002, plans are to turn the Wrightsville and Irwin facilities over to the Department of Corrections. Funds from the Wrightsville facility will be used to contract with 3 vendors for 125 beds for Assessment and Orientation of youth and

for 300 short-term beds. Funds from the Irwin facility will be used to contract for 176 beds. Future plans include the addition of a 150-bed facility that will increase the beds to 2,560 for the state by FY 2005.
Regional youth detention centers are secure state institutions that detain youth until a court hearing can be held for him or her or until a permanent placement for the youth is available.
Even though RYDCs are not programmed for longterm stays by juveniles, a full array of services is available for those children who stay there. Educational, medical, and mental health services are provided at these locations.
The state has a capacity in the RYDC system of 1,089 beds. New facilities slated to go on-line by FY 2003 include replacements at Augusta, Crisp, Macon, Gainesville, and Rome RYDCs. These centers are old and designed during a time when their occupants needed less services.
The department has developed an 80-bed prototype RYDC, the first of which will be open in Gainesville in 2002. The other replacement facilities will be patterned after this pilot site. Once all the replacements are in operation, the department will have an RYDC system capacity of 1,359.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS The Community Corrections Division is responsible
for the management and supervision of youth placed in community-based programs.
Community corrections tailors the rehabilitative efforts of the department in an individual manner toward each child in its care. With the youths having a wide variety of problems, an expanded continuum of services must be used.
Services in this division include group homes, multiservice centers, non-residential community schools, intensive supervision programs, and electronic monitoring. The department contracts out for many of these services, as well as for wilderness program slots and specialized residential treatment beds.
This divis ion also contains the court services section. It consists of juvenile probation/parole specialists (JPPS) who are the case managers of the department's charges. They are located in local offices throughout the state.
JPPSs provide intake services upon a youth's entry into the juvenile justice system. Upon commitment to the department, the JPPS is also instrumental in the development of the rehabilitative program developed for the juvenile.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Strategies and Services

The Governor's budget recommendation for the Department of Juvenile Justice focuses on continued efforts to improve systems and services and to expand alternatives to secure detention, as appropriate. Staffing ratios in facilities and in the community are improved and community-based programs are expanded. The FY 2002 budget recommends over $12 million for improved and expanded services, staffing and operations. An additional $17 million is recommended for capital improvements, repairs and construction, in the Amended FY 2001 budget.
The state continues to operate in cooperation with the United States Department of Justice under the Memorandum of Agreement established in 1998. The department is working cooperatively in addressing any noncomp liance issues and developing appropriate plans of action to move toward full compliance.
ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION The Department of Juvenile Justice has partnered with
the Annie E. Casey Foundation to launch a multi-year, multi-site project known as the Georgia Detention Alternatives Initiative. In many jurisdictions, judges and probation staff have only 1 of 2 options when faced with a youth who has been arrested and charged with an offense: they can either release the youth to parents or another responsible adult or lock up the youth in a secure detention facility. The department will coordinate efforts with local jurisdictions to develop alternatives to secure facility placement that will allow appropriate youth to be supervised in the commu nity while their cases are pending in juvenile court. The use of effective detention alternatives assures that those who do not require secure care are properly supervised in less costly programs, while the most serious offenders are appropriately supervised in a secure setting. The department will utilize a range of alternatives to secure detention (i.e., home confinement, tracking services, day and evening reporting centers, etc.) in Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) to reduce overcrowding and prevent the secure detention of status and other identified offenders.
IMPROVING CONDITIONS OF CONFINEMENT The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the
State of Georgia and the U.S. Department of Justice addresses many issues which relate to "conditions of confinement" in DJJ facilities. A major component has been overcrowding at RYDCs. Sixty-four RYDC beds have been added in Dekalb, Gwinnett and Marietta. Case Expeditors were added in FY 2000 and FY 2001 to reduce the length of stay. The average length of stay in RYDCs is now less than 19 days.
Great strides have been made to improve security. Defective locks have been replaced and fire protection systems have been upgraded at all facilities. Security coverage has improved with the addition of third-shift

Juvenile Correctional Officers (JCOs) at all facilities. Improved pay for JCOs by increasing salaries to target has reduced the vacancy rate from 13% in FY 2000 to 8% in FY 2001 and continuing to drop. Part-time JCOs have been added to allow full-time JCOs to attend training.
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES The department's goal is to provide all youth under its
custody a complete general, vocational, and special education where appropriate.
The office of education has oversight of the educational programs at all DJJ facilities, including development and implementation of policies and training programs.
In conjunction with the Georgia Department of Education, the office has developed and implemented a comprehensive curriculum for instruction.
The crux of being able to provide appropriate educational services is to accurately determine the educational level of a student quickly upon admission. The department has developed a plan to ensure that each youth is tested within 72 hours of admission.
Regular and vocational education is an important function of the DJJ educational system, but special education classes are also becoming a major need among juveniles. A partnership between DJJ and the Department of Technical and Adult Education has been developed to expand vocational education programs and improve employment opportunities for long-term youth.
Many youths admitted to a DJJ facility need some form of special education. For some, the need may be only 1 class a day. For others, the need may be much greater.
Testing has been refined to identify special education needs of youth, and teachers have been added to ensure a 12-to-1 ratio of special education students to special education teachers in the department statewide.
Guidance counselors have been added at all Youth Development Campuses (YDCs) to assist in addressing the needs of youth within the system. The department also ensures that all youth eligible for attaining a General Educational Development certificate have access to appropriate materials.
MENTAL HEATH CARE The mental health care component of the department is
to ensure that all youth within the system receive appropriate mental health care and treatment services.
The office of mental health provides oversight in the provision of services required to meet the mental health needs of youths. Problems can range from drug and alcohol dependency to sexual or physical abuse histories.
A key link in the mental health system is a quick and accurate diagnosis of individual problems. The department has developed a mental health and suicide risk screening instrument for use in all DJJ facilities.

343

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE Strategies and Services

Intake screening is done on each youth admitted into a DJJ facility, usually a regional youth detention center. Upon admittance to a long-term youth development campus, each youth will receive a complete mental health needs assessment reviewed by a psychologist.
Protocols have also been developed for referral of youth with mental health needs. Once a need for mental health treatment is indicated, a treatment plan is developed. If a juvenile is identified with severe mental illness that cannot be provided for in an RYDC or YDC, then the youth is designated as needing an alternative placement in a forensic psychiatric facility or other setting consistent with the youth's mental health needs.
When developing a mental health treatment plan for a youth in its custody, DJJ takes a holistic approach.
Plans are individualized; Psychological issues are addressed; Needed medication is identified; Planned activities are developed; A behavior management plan is undertaken; Needed counseling is provided; An analysis of the youth's current placement is
performed; Families are brought into the treatment plan; and A transition plan is developed for his or her return
to the community. Mental Health Services has been improved by increasing the hours of psychiatric and psychological care provided at all facilities. Substance Abuse Counselors, Social Services Providers, and Mental Health Nurses have been added at all facilities.
MEDICAL CARE The department ensures that adequate medical care is
provided to all state juveniles. Physician Assistants and 24hour nursing coverage have been added in the last year to meet this provision.
An extensive part of the department's medical plan includes a system for proper screening and a physical exam upon admission. To complement that initial step, DJJ also provides all youths with access to physicians for medical care. The department's health appraisal for youth entering the system is to evaluate the health status of the juvenile to determine medical treatment needs and appropriate medical classification and restrictions.
Medical care consists not only of screening, but also of a comprehensive effort throughout the DJJ system. It includes: Dental care, including treatment to prevent loss and to
provide cleaning services; Timely access to appropriate medical specialists and
hospitalization when indicated; and 24-hour infirmary services, as appropriate.

PHYSICAL CAPACITY Youth development centers are secure state institutions
that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services.
Two types of beds exist in the YDC system. The first is a regular commitment bed filled with a child committed to the state by a juvenile court. These youths may stay in a commitment status for up to five years, but may or may not spend all of that time within a YDC. The second type is for a child that is sentenced by a juvenile court to spend 90 days within a state YDC.
Currently, the department operates ten YDCs throughout the state with a total of 2,410 beds. In FY 2002, plans are to turn the Wrightsville and Irwin facilities over to the Department of Corrections. Operating funds from the Wrightsville facility will be used to contract with three vendors for 125 beds for Assessment and Orientation of youth and for 300 short-term beds. Funds from the Irwin facility will be used to contract for 176 beds. Existing beds at the new Sumter YDC and other campuses will be used to facilitate the transfer of long-term youth currently in the Wrightsville and Irwin facilities.
Future plans include the addition of a 150-bed facility that will increase the beds to 2,560 (includes new contracted short-term beds) by FY 2005. Additionally, the Governor is recommending pre-design funds for an additional YDC, based on population projections that indicate a continued need for additional beds as well as the growing cost of operations and repairs at several of the systems older facilities.
Regional youth detention centers are secure state institutions that detain youth until a court hearing can be held for him or her or until a permanent placement for the youth is available.
Even though RYDCs are not programmed for longterm stays by juveniles, a full array of services are available for those children who stay there. Educational, medical, and mental health services are provided at these locations.
The state has a capacity in the RYDC system of 1,089 beds. New facilities slated to go on-line by FY 2003 include Crisp and replacements at Augusta, Macon, Gainesville and Rome RYDCs. These centers are old and designed during a time when their occupants needed less services.
The department has developed an 80-bed prototype RYDC, the first of which will be open in Gainesville in 2002. The other replacement facilities will be patterned after this pilot site. Once the new facility at Crisp and all the replacements are in operation, the department will have an RYDC system capacity of 1,359.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Labor is empowered to administer federal labor programs and to enforce various state laws pertaining to labor, with an overall mission to promote the economic well-being of the state. The department, through its programs and services, plays an important role in the development of the state's workforce by providing training, services, protection, and information.
TRAINING In a joint partnership with businesses and other
community leaders, the department provides job training to economically disadvantaged youth and adults, older workers, summer youth, and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality of the labor force in the state. The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 was designed to replace the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Under the Workforce Investment Act, the Governor established the State Workforce Investment Board and named the Department of Labor as the lead agency for implementation of the new act.
The department in conjunction with its partner agencies, the Departments of Human Resources and Technical and Adult Education has implemented the OneStop System to deliver comprehensive workforce development services to customers. For employers the department provides "no cost" labor exchange services that include the maintenance of interstate and intrastate job banks, employment screening, on the job training programs, and tax credits though the Worker Opportunities Tax Credit Act.
SERVICES The department reduces the adverse impact of
unemployment by providing monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period and by assisting employers in minimizing their unemployment insurance tax liability. During FY 2000, 200,804 unemployment claims were filed with the department. The department also provides federally-funded supplemental benefits to unemployed job seekers who have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits.
One of the department's primary responsibilities is the administration of the public employment service in the state through a statewide network of 53 offices. The department provides an array of services, which include: the referral of qualified applicants to employers who have listed job openings, counseling and other services to help evaluate workers' job skills and better prepare them for available jobs and the referral to services provided by other agencies in the community, such as job training, adult education, vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, medical care, and supportive services.
The department provides basic readjustment services for "dislocated workers" whose job losses resulted from changing technology or other economic conditions.

Additionally, the department serves 1,530 at-risk youth through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program, offers placement and employment service to migrant/seasonal farm workers, disabled workers, and veterans.
REHABILITATION SERVICES On July 1, 2001 the Department of Labor will be in
charge of administering all of the responsibilities and duties for the Division of Rehabilitation Services from the Department of Human Resources. The Division of Rehabilitation Services provides opportunities for work and personal independence for Georgians with disabilities. In pursuit of this goal, they administer several programs to fulfill this mission. The Division of Rehabilitation Services is responsible for: the Business Enterprise Program, which assists severely visually impaired individuals in becoming private vendors; Georgia Industries for the Blind and Sheltered Employment which provides employment for severely visually impaired and disabled individuals; Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation facility that serves people with severe disabilities; Independent Living Services, educates people about increased self-sufficiency; Tools for Life which advocates the independence of Georgians with physical or mental impairments and their families through assistive technology devises and services; and Disability Adjudication Services which determines eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits to ensure that individuals who are no longer eligible to receive these services discontinue receiving benefits.
PROTECTION The department has responsibility for administering
Georgia laws regulating the employment of children and regulatory responsibility for equipment, such as amusement and carnival rides, elevators, escalators, safety glass, high voltage apparatus, boilers, and pressure vessels .
INFORMATION Compiling and disseminating labor market information
is a primary responsibility of the department. Available information includes data on employment, worker availability, wages, and historic projected trends. Several of the statistical series published by the department, such as Georgia Labor Market Trends and Area Labor Profiles, serve as key indicators of the state's economic health.
AUTHORITY Titles 8, 34, 39 and 46 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. The U.S. Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; Georgia Rehabilitation Act.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Strategies and Services

THE DIVISION OF REHABILITATION SERVICES TRANSFER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
On May 1, 2000, the Governor signed HB 172 into law necessitating the transfer of the Division of Rehabilitation Services from the Department of Human Resources to the Department of Labor as a component of a statewide focus on the employment of individuals with disabilities.
The primary impetus for HB 172 was the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. The Workforce Investment Act represents an initiative to organize the various workforce development programs into an integrated workforce development system to better serve the citizens of Georgia.
In this act, Congress linked Vocational Rehabilitation services for the disabled with mainstream employment services, requiring that the disabled be represented and their needs addressed throughout the planning and implementation of this system to ensure that they are better integrated into the workforce. The relocation of the Division of Rehabilitation Services to the Department of Labor reinforces the model that Congress wanted the states to follow.
The statutory obligations of the Division of Rehabilitation Services are to support people with disabilities to realize their capabilities through selfsufficiency, assistance, and employment. This goal is expressed in each of the agency programs. The largest of this group is Vocational Rehabilitation, which provides a full range of rehabilitation services to help people with disabilities to become employed. The federal Rehabilitation Act that was amended in 1998 as Title IV of the Workforce Investment Act, sanctions the organization to assess, train, educate, place, and provide reasonable accommodation that is individualized to meet the client's and employers needs. Every client is given information to make educated choices regarding employment objectives, services, and service providers for the entire time that they need assistance. Services are provided locally through 54 offices located in the 12 state service delivery regions and on the campus of the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. The Division also contracts vocational services through 22 non-profit rehabilitation programs around Georgia.
The Department of Rehabilitation Services work programs simultaneously generate and conserve tax dollars by helping people with disabilities to become employed. This effort allows employers in Georgia to have a larger supply of experienced staff from diverse backgrounds. These services consist of work readiness preparation, job analysis, accessibility surveys, job coaching, and supported employment.
As a component of the services offered by Vocational Rehabilitation, supported employment is offered to clients to ensure that they remain employed. Supported

employment services are available to people who have severe disabilities and are working in a competitive, integrated workforce. Supported services are adapted to the individual needs of the client. The service delivery team consists of the Vocational Rehabilitation counselor and the client as well as an account representative, who is a liaison to the business community, an assistive technology expert, a work preparation technician, and a program assistant. This team is supervised and assisted by an employment manager. Each team can also have representatives from the Business Enterprise Program, Disability Adjudication Services, and Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute of Rehabilitation. The service delivery teams are able to use computers and other equipment to create a "virtual office" to meet their clients' needs. During FY 2000, there were 25,166 persons with disabilities served. The Vocational Rehabilitation Program has placed 79% of their clients in positions for at least 90 days.
The Business Enterprise Program, a sub-unit of the Vocational Rehabilitation program, provides employment to blind or severely visually impaired individuals as independent licensed vendors. There are currently 108 vending facilities in operation, providing work opportunities for 105 individuals. Vendors are located on federal, state, and private property.
The Georgia Industries for the Blind also provides jobs for people who are blind or have severe visual disabilities. The Georgia Industries for the Blind is involved in manufacturing products for both private industries and government agencies. This program operates 2 facilities in Bainbridge and Griffin under the federal Javits -Wagner - O'Day Act. During FY 2000, the Georgia Industries for the Blind provided employment for 190 employees, of whom 90 are blind, with $7.7 million in sales.
Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation is a statewide comprehensive facility that offers extensive residential, vocational, and outpatient services for people with a variety of disabling conditions. The Institute consists of a 215-bed hospital, a 78-bed physical rehabilitation unit, an industrial rehabilitation program, a Spinal Cord/Head Injury Registry, and outpatient services. The Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation also has a literacy and education curriculum that has certified teachers instructing students in methods to increase their literacy and educational levels, which prepares them to become self-sufficient, with better employment and educational opportunities.
The Center for Therapeutic Recreation Complex is also located on site. It provides physical therapy and serves about 200 people a day. The Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation has developed relationships with employers in the surrounding area to give their students on-the-job training.

353

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies And Services

Independent Living Services, like the other Rehabilitation programs, educates people with disabilities about being more self-sufficient. The Rehabilitation Act requires Independent Living Services that are provided through local non-profit agencies. These agencies are given grants through the Statewide Independent Living Council. Independent Living Services helps prepare clients to enter Vocational Rehabilitation programs.
Another program provided by the Division of Rehabilitation Services is Sheltered Employment, which trains and employs people with severe disabilities that are unable to work in the competitive job market. The Division of Rehabilitation Services offers this type of employment with non-profit organizations.
Tools for Life, is an additional opportunity for disabled Georgians to participate completely at both home and work. This program assists clients in obtaining assistive technology, regardless of their employment status or their ability to work. This program receives federal funds under the Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act, which helps overcome many of the barriers that prevent individuals from receiving proper treatment. The Division of Rehabilitation Services would like to continue this program with state support beyond the three years of eligibility that remains on their grant. Tools for Life's services also include assistive technology information resources and publications, training, legal services, technical assistance, and short-term loans of equipment for individuals in need of assistive technology.
Therefore, with the transfer of the Division of Rehabilitation Services to the Department of Labor on July 1, 2001, this will be a unique opportunity to merge 2 organizations that have the same goal of giving Georgians a chance to experience personal independence and the ability to be gainfully employed.

WELFARE TO WORK On December 31, 2000, 1,609 Georgia Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients will have exhausted their 48 months of eligibility, the limit set by the state in 1997 as part of a federal mandated welfare reform initiative. With the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, the number of TANF cases has significantly declined at both the state and national level. However, those remaining in the welfare system face substantial barriers that must be addressed in order to successfully transition from welfare to work. A Department of Human Resources study indicates that many of the remaining recipients have substantial barriers to employment. Over 10% of those remaining on TANF, as of October 2000, have received assistance for 48 months and longer, with the average number of months on assistance at 55.2 months. This is significant due to the fact that these clients will no longer be eligible for such assistance.
To counteract this problem, the Department of Labor and the Department of Human Resources developed the GoodWorks program as a key component in offering assistance to those clients that need more support. The program prepares families to enter the workforce by offering job placement services, special education, childcare, transportation, subsidized training and substance abuse treatment. The GoodWorks program integrates exiting welfare-to-work services and utilizes a team approach to facilitate inter-agency case management.
Currently, this program is operating in Richmond, Muscogee, Quitman, Harris, Talbot, Randolph, Clay, Steward, Bibb, and DeKalb Counties with several more under consideration or with pending contracts with local providers. This is especially significant for the individuals who will face exhausted benefits in the coming year.

363

DEPARTMENT OF LAW
Strategies and Services

The Attorney General and his staff of attorneys at the Department of Law provide a full range of legal services for state departments, officials, and employees of the Executive Branch. The department's 103 attorneys respond to requests for legal assistance and representation in administrative hearings, state and federal court litigation, review of contracts and other legal documents, the acquisition of real property, bonded indebtedness matters, and legal advice or opinions.
During FY 2000, the department opened files associated with over 8,800 requests for its legal services and advice. The department's attorneys do not handle the entire workload due to the high case volume, certain situations where a conflict of interest may exist, and instances of complex cases where external legal expertise is needed.
In order to meet its legal obligations in a timely manner, the department retains private attorneys referred to as Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs). Annually the department contracts with over 350 SAAGs and expends just under $20 million dollars for their services. About 60% of the total fees and expenses paid to SAAGs are incurred for legal work done on behalf of the Department of Human Resources and the Department of Transportation.
REGULATED INDUSTRIES AND PROFESSIONS DIVISION
One of three specialized sections within the Regulated Industries and Professions Division, the Consumer Interests Section primarily provides general representation to the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs and works with state-level consumer protection agencies across the country in the pursuit of multi-state actions. Such cases are necessary to protect Georgia's consumers and, where appropriate, recover property that has wrongly been taken from them. This section is also responsible for monitoring the state's $4.8 billion tobacco settlement. The Environmental and Natural Resources Section principally represents the Department of Natural Resources, which includes the Environmental Protection Division. Through this representation the section plays a pivotal role in protecting the state's treasured natural resources. The State Licensing Boards Section provides representation to the various regulatory boards operating under the auspices of the Secretary of State. These include the State Board of Nursing Home Administrators, the Georgia Board of Nursing, and the State Construction Industry Licensing Board.
COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND LITIGATION DIVISION
Also comprised of three sections, the Commercial Transactions and Litigation Division provides legal

representation related to the state's commercial transactions and financial interests. The Tax Section represents the Department of Revenue in all matters, including litigation that focuses on complicated state and federal tax issues. The Business and Finance Section handles litigation and provides advice related to the financial affairs of the state, including the appropriations process, bond sales, contracts, and bankruptcy issues. The Real Property, Construction, Transportation, and Authorities Section represents the Department of Transportation, the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, and the newly created Georgia Technology Authority among others.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE DIVISION Staff attorneys in the Criminal Justice Division
represent and advise the law enforcement and public safety interests of the state. The Public Safety Section provides general representation to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), the Department of Public Safety, and the Department of Corrections. The Capital Litigation Section handles all death penalty appeals in the Georgia Supreme Court and the Unites States Supreme Court, while the Post Conviction Litigation Section oversees all nondeath penalty capital felony appeals and related habeas corpus cases. The Healthcare Fraud Section, in conjunction with the GBI and the State Auditor, investigates and prosecutes cases involving Medicaid fraud and patient abuse.
GENERAL LITIGATION DIVISION The Tort Litigation Section of the General Litigation
Division represents departments sued under Georgia's Tort Claims Act for claims of personal injury, property damage, and wrongful death. The Civil Rights Litigation Section of the division represents elected officers and employees sued for damages in their individual and official capacities in civil rights actions.
GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND EMPLOYMENT DIVISION
Within the Government Services and Employment Division, the Labor and Employment Section litigates applicable actions for all Executive Branch entities. Staff attorneys of the division's Human Resources Section represent the interests of its two massive clients, the Department of Human Resources and the Department of Community Health. The third section of the division the Education, Elections, Local Government, and Judiciary Section represents a variety of entities including the Board of Regents, the Department of Education, and the Elections Division of the Secretary of State's Office. This section also coordinates all open government inquiries and provides an informal open government dispute resolution process.

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Merit System of Personnel Administration is the state's central agency for assisting state agencies in recruiting qualified individuals for positions within the executive branch of state government. The agency is also the state's central recordkeeping agency for state employee data and the central means of monitoring state personnel practices.
The enactment of SB 635, passed during the 1996 Legislature, decentralizes the state's personnel administration system, allowing agencies the freedom to assume from the Merit System the responsibility for a variety of personnel recruitment and administration duties.
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner's Office provides overall
direction, leadership, and management of the agency to include the areas of legal services, marketing, public relations and information services, policy analysis and development, and budget administration. The office also coordinates requests for proposal processes for statewide benefit plans and contract negotiations and management.
CUSTOMER SERVICE This program furnishes research, counseling, and
education in equal employment opportunity and diversity; evaluation, counseling, mediation and education in management/ employee relations; and management of the state's employee recognition, charitable contribution and employee suggestion programs. The division also provides human resource services to state agencies through personnel policy consultation and interpretation and statewide drug testing functions.

The Training and Organization Development Section provides services to agencies statewide including: training and workforce development assessments; production and delivery of skill-based employee training or Train-the Trainer programs; coordination and delivery of management training on the state's pay for performance and results-based budgeting; and assistance to agencies in development and implementation of customized performance improvement strategies. Resources made available to agencies include the Georgia Merit System Training Center facility, equipped with training rooms, GSAMS teleconferencing equipment and technicians, satellite downlink capability, and a resource center of information on private sector training providers and programs, training materials, and video tapes.

COMPENSATION AND STAFFING The Compensation and Staffing Section provides
technical assistance in human resource services; consultation and assistance to state agencies in recruiting, hiring and keeping employees who will get the state's business done for the best dollar value. This involves maintaining a market sensitive pay structure, conducting targeted and core business recruitment, assessing and evaluating job applicants, and consulting with state agencies to maximize the return on state dollars dedicated to the state work force. The division is involved in job labor market research and analysis, development and implementation of equitable pay and rewards processes, general and specialized recruitment and dissemination of job hiring process information, the design and administration of competency-based screening procedures (such as work sample tests, structured interviews, work history evaluations and qualifications reviews), developing and maintaining model processes, and conducting evaluations of agency personnel practices pursuant to Act 816.

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Strategies and Services

The Merit System of Personnel Administration utilizes an assortment of programs and services in monitoring and coordinating personnel administration and benefit plans within state government. The enactment of SB 635 in FY 1997 continues to significantly reshape the role of the Merit System and state agencies in the selection, hiring, and management of personnel. Agencies now are free to assume certain personnel administration activities from the Merit System if they choose, and all new state employees hired are exempt from the classified service and its administrative and procedural restrictions. As a consequence, the Merit System is moving from its traditional role as the central personnel administration authority for state agencies, to one of consultation, technical support, and review. Examples of the department's strategies and services regarding addressing this new role appear below.
WORKFORCE PLANNING A major initiative for the Georgia Merit System is to
facilitate the development of a Workforce Planning Strategy for the Georgia State Government workforce.
A critical component to state government business productivity and effectiveness is the strategic deployment of a workforce possessing the competencies needed to achieve business results consistent with state agency missions, goals, and objectives. The major deployment of the workforce by occupation reflects over half the workforce is dedicated to the 3 areas of law enforcement, health care, and social services.
The effect of the current economic boom and gaps in the state's workforce infrastructure puts state program outcomes in jeopardy. For example, the state currently is facing dire difficulties in hiring and is experiencing such high levels of turnover that agencies are in serious jeopardy of missing the mark on fundamental business expectations. Two factors of concern are the relatively low tenure rate of a sizable proportion of the workforce and the high turnover of recent state hires.
Workforce planning is the strategic framework for looking at these and other workforce dynamics and developing cohesive approaches for remedy. In the 2000 General Assembly, the Governor and the Legislature recognized the benefits of a strategic planning focus for the state's workforce and asked each state agency to use this approach on an annual basis. The Georgia Merit System was designated as the lead agency in this initiative and has established an interagency committee of top department heads to develop state guidelines and processes to move forward.
The potential return on investment is enormous, since only one factor, turnover, costs the taxpayers of Georgia millions each year. The results on quality service and the impact on those for whom government provides the crucial safety net are even more dramatic.

Outcomes are produced by people and state government must find and keep the best possible talent for its citizens.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REVIEW A new performance management process was
implemented for the state workforce in 1995-1996. It was the culmination of 3 years of study initiated by gubernatorial directive and included variable pay tied to performance criteria. Among the main purposes of this approach was the fostering of higher levels of performance and the alignment of worker rewards to results. In FY 2000 and FY 2001, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the new process is being conducted and involves 3 main components:
Employee Survey. A comprehensive survey was developed and distributed to over 3,000 state workers and supervisors. Input was sought on various issues, including the performance management process and requirements, pay delivery and training for performance management, and effects/results of performance management.
Longitudinal Trend Analysis. Employee data spanning a decade were mined to identify potential issues and effects of the 1995-96 changes. Inquiries ranged from performance rating distribution, to turnover comparisons, to issues of tenure and promotions.
GeorgiaGain Advisory Committee of Department Heads. Key agency leadership were assembled to input their perspectives on the effectiveness of the performance management process to review the results of the Employee Survey and the Longitudinal Trend Analysis and to provide for potential improvements.
The Georgia Merit System has provided leadership, facilitation and technical support to this initiative and will have the major role in the development and implementation of recommended modifications to the state performance management system in FY 2002.
NEW EMPLOYEE B ENEFITS Since the implementation of the State of Georgia
Flexible Benefits Program in 1986, the number of benefit options have grown and benefits have been enhanced to provide choices for varying lifestyles and security needs for over 85,000 eligible employees. Recent enhancements to the program include:
Prepaid Dental Plan. During the 2000-2001 Flexible Benefits Program Open Enrollment period, a prepaid dental option was offered to employees living in the metropolitan Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, and Macon areas. The prepaid option offers employees the advantage of receiving services without deductibles, waiting periods, late entrant limitations, or annual maximums.
Flex Convenience Card. Effective September 1, 2000, the Georgia Merit System announced the

372

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION -- Strategies and Services

implementation of the FLEX Convenience Card for State of Georgia Flexible Spending Account (FSA) participants. The FLEX Card allows for easier access to the funds set aside in a participant's Health Care and Dependent Care Spending Account by transferring from their FSA directly to certain providers to cover an expense with no further out of pocket cost and no need to file a claim for reimbursement.
Flextrans. To help with the challenge of improving air quality by reducing traffic congestion, legislation known as "Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefits" was introduced under Section 132 of the Internal Revenue Code to allow employers to offer their employees qualified transportation and parking benefits. Effective July 1, 2000, the Georgia Merit System implemented the State of Georgia Pre-Tax Transportation Program, Flextrans. Under this program, State of Georgia payroll deductions for vanpool, MARTA Transcard, and parking are automatically taken on a pre-tax basis, with no additional enrollment processes. In addition to offering a tax savings for State of Georgia employees, administrative costs for State of Georgia employers have been extensively minimized due to FICA tax savings.
Self-Directed Brokerage Option (SDO). An SDO is a mechanism by which participants may invest in a much broader universe of investment options outside the core lineup of funds offered by the Deferred Compensation Program, and would also provide a means for participants to have continued access to funds that become "inactive" in the core lineup due to consistent under-performance. The Self Directed Brokerage Option would be available at the outset only to provide access to a broad selection of mutual funds. The SDO will be implemented in the spring of 2001.
E-COMMERCE/E BUSINESS The Georgia Merit System supports the Governor's
mandate to move the state's business processes to web enabled applications on the internet. This provides the Merit System a unique opportunity to streamline business processes and to make information more readily accessible to the public and to other agencies through the internet. E-Commerce/E-Business applications include:
The Job Site. The Georgia Merit System has been offering an on-line application and recruitment system for applicants seeking jobs since January 2000. The site contains an average of 250 job vacancies on any given day with 74 departments and agencies using this resource for recruitment. The database of applicant resumes includes 16,000 resumes with an increasing number of applicants applying on-line through the Applicant Resource Center.
Electronic Open Enrollment for Benefits. On-line open enrollment will provide a more flexible, responsive, and less costly process for providing enrollment benefits

each spring when 80,000 participants select the benefit options they desire. An electronic enrollment process could eliminate almost all paper collection processes. Employees would receive their option alternatives on paper and they would select options by Internet. The employee would receive a confirmation statement by mail to verify the options selected were correct. The state's databases would then be updated electronically for those options selected by participants for the plan year enrollment year. There would be appropriate follow-up for those participants who did not make their selections. Appropriate venues would be made available for option selections with regard to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues.
State Charitable Contributions Program. A process similar to the electronic open enrollment process is planned for electronic enrollment in the State Charitable Contributions Program. This process will be fully funded by administrative fees from the program.
Employee Suggestion Program. The Employee Suggestion Program has been automated providing participants the capability to submit suggestions using the Internet rather than the current paper process. This makes the program more accessible to employees, makes submission and processing more timely, provides for an automated record keeping system for suggestions, and allows staff to more easily generate statistics on program use.
Temporary Services Staffing. The Georgia Merit System (GMS) will issue a statewide request for proposals for temporary staffing to ensure that customer agencies acquire the workforce they need in a flexible, responsive, and cost effective manner. GMS would perform centralized purchasing services associated with temporary staffing, including development and maintenance of standards for temporary staffing, development of a request for proposals, and selection of a roster of temporary staffing agencies. A statewide contract with multiple vendors should streamline temporary staffing and eliminate duplicate processes among state agencies and vendors. Funding for temporary staffing services would remain in various agencies.
In addition, GMS assists agencies in recruiting and hiring temporary employees. The Georgia Merit System has lists of qualified people for some jobs, many of whom would be willing to work on a temporary basis. For the agencies requesting this assistance, the GMS contacts persons on the lists to see if they would be interested in temporary employment and have been able to meet some agencies' temporary staffing needs. Through fee contracts, the GMS also provides assistance to agencies in reference checking, testing, or screening based on specified criterion, as well as interviewing potential candidates to be referred to agencies.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Natural Resources provides natural resources development, management, and protection services to Georgia's citizens and local governments. These services include the operation of state parks and historic sites, the management and protection of wildlife and coastal resources, the enforcement of wildlife, boating safety, and environmental laws, promotion and assistance with pollution prevention, and protection and management of the state's water, air, and land resources in accordance with various state and federal laws.
Both the Commissioner's Office and the Program Support Division provide administrative support for the entire department. Six separate and distinct divisions provide services to the citizens of Georgia.

PARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC SITES The division provides recreational opportunities to the
citizens of Georgia through the development and operation of 48 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted 16 million visitors during FY 2000. The divis ion manages over 72,000 acres with such amenities as campgrounds, cottages, lodges, swimming pools, group camps, and golf courses.

WILDLIFE RESOURCES

The division manages lands and freshwater habitat for

public hunting, fishing, and educational purposes and

promotes the conservation and wise use of game and

nongame wildlife resources.

All state laws and

departmental regulations regarding wildlife, fishery

resources, wild animals, boating safety, and hunter safety

are enforced by the law enforcement section. The division

manages Public Fishing Areas and Wildlife Management

Areas, and produces fish in state hatcheries that are used to

stock public waters and farm ponds.

COASTAL RESOURCES The division's primary objectives are to ensure the
optimum commercial and recreational utilization of Georgia's marine fisheries resources over the long term for the benefit of all Georgians and to protect, conserve, and restore populations of marine turtles and mammals. These objectives are accomplished through research, artificial reef development, and activities geared toward the protection of threatened and endangered marine species.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The division is largely a regulatory body whose main
objective is to enforce state and federal water quality, water supply, air quality, solid waste, and hazardous waste laws, rules, and regulations. These objectives are

accomplished through a permitting process coupled with monitoring, inspection, investigation, and enforcement activities. The division also manages the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund and the Solid Waste Trust Fund.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION The division provides historic preservation services
and assistance to governmental agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Duties include proposing properties for nomination to both the National and the Georgia Register of Historic Places, providing grants to support state and local preservation projects, and offering technical assistance and information on tax incentives, archaeological matters, and other preservation programs.
POLLUTION PREVENTION The division is a non-regulatory organization designed
to serve as a one-stop source for Georgia businesses interested in finding ways to reduce their hazardous waste, solid waste, water, and air pollution problems through preventive measures.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia State Games Commission promotes
amateur athletic competition through the Georgia State Games.
The Civil War Commission encourages preservation of Civil War sites and promotes tourism to these sites.
The Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority is responsible for managing through contract the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the islands.
The Jekyll Island State Park Authority is responsible for the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the island.
The Stone Mountain Memorial Association is responsible for managing through contract the operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities at the mountain.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Strategies and Services

Georgia is geographically the largest state east of the Mississippi River and is blessed with great scenic beauty and many outstanding natural and historic resources, which are enjoyed by the state's citizens and tourists alike. As the population grows, demands on Georgia's natural resources increase, making it essential that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) continue its obligation to protect, preserve, and manage these resources for present and future generations. DNR's Environmental Protection Division (EPD) serves as the state's regulatory agency responsible for enforcing all state and federal environmental standards relating to water, air, and land.
Georgia is rich in surface water resources with over 70,000 miles of streams, 425,582 acres of public lakes and reservoirs, 854 square miles of estuaries, and 100 miles of coastline. These waters support drinking, recreational, and industrial uses for Georgians and provide habitats for a variety of aquatic life. Governor Barnes' budget provides funds for several projects relating to water quality, management and protection to ensure an adequate supply of clean water for Georgians now and well into the future.
Georgia's air currently meets national standards for all pollutants except ozone. Metropolitan Atlanta has been declared an "ozone non-attainment area" under the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Because of the negative impacts on citizens' health and on economic growth and development in the region, Governor Barnes' budget supports a number of initiatives to improve the quality of air in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION STAFF DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
EPD enforces 20 state laws and has delegation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for programs under 4 federal environmental laws. EPD directly regulates over 60,000 facilities by permit, rule, or license.
Citizens of Georgia rightfully expect a clean and safe environment and expect EPD to be responsive to their environmental concerns. The regulated community rightfully expects EPD to be efficient in issuing and administering permits. EPD is currently under-staffed to fulfill its mission and statutory responsibilities.
The Governor recommends increasing EPD's state funded budget by $3,958,774 and authorizing 70 new positions for programs related to water pollution control, water allocation, hazardous waste management, surface mining, and ozone standard attainment and information dissemination.
WATER QUALITY AND PROTECTION STRATEGIES
Several major water management issues face the state of Georgia in the early years of the Barnes

Administration. These include: saltwater intrusion into underground water resources along the coast; ongoing negotiations with Florida and Alabama over the management of shared water resources; inclusion of agricultural water use in statewide water use planning; and the development of maximum contaminant limits for state waters as required by the federal Clean Water Act.
The Floridian Aquifer supplies most of the water used by citizens, local governments, agriculture, and industry in 24 counties in southeast Georgia. The current level of water usage in this area is contributing to existing saltwater intrusion in the Brunswick area and the potential of saltwater intrusion in Savannah. The economic wellbeing of coastal Georgia depends on maintaining the capability to use the aquifer to support future development in this region of the state.
Understanding groundwater is a difficult and expensive undertaking, and solid scientific data and water management strategies must be developed. State support for the development and implementation of a comprehensive management plan is necessary to allow for the sustainable use of this valuable resource for the future and to provide adequate protection for coastal groundwater resources. The FY 2002 budget provides 4th year funding of $806,000 for the 8-year Coastal Groundwater (Sound Science) Study, which was initiated in FY 1999. These funds will be used to continue collection of the scientific data needed to fully understand the aquifer and to develop an appropriate management plan to protect coastal groundwater. The 8-year project will cost an estimated $14 million, with $10 million in state funds and $4 million from paper companies that have agreed to provide $500,000 in support each year.
Although agriculture is the largest user of groundwater in Georgia, there are no reporting requirements under the agricultural water use permitting process. In order to develop a strategy to protect coastal Georgia from saltwater intrusion and to develop water allocation formulas for Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, EPD must have reliable agricultural water use information. Rather than impose a cumbersome reporting requirement on all farmers with water withdrawal permits, meters installed on a small, statistically valid sample of farms will provide EPD with a statistically reliable estimate of agriculture water use that can be used for water resource management. The 5-year Agricultural Water Use Study began with an appropriation of $250,000 in FY 1999. Governor Barnes recommends 4th year funding of $242,400 in FY 2002 to continue this study, which will cost a total of $1,266,761.
In addition, the Governor includes $857,803 in the FY 2002 budget for the 2nd year of a 4-year Southwest Georgia Ground and Surface Water Interchange Study to provide EPD additional field and pumping data necessary to develop more accurate groundwater flow models and to

388

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services

more effectively manage agricultural irrigation permits. These funds will be used to contract with the U.S. Geologic Survey for well drilling, testing, and groundwater modeling, and with the University of Georgia Extension Service to establish a network of irrigation monitors capable of collecting daily pumpage data. This project will cost a total of $2,572,662.
A federal court issued a ruling against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region IV that required the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for state waters within an 8-year time frame beginning in FY 1998. TMDLs are discharge load limits that must be developed very carefully for Georgia's streams using high-quality field data to ensure that limits accurately reflect the wastewater treatment level needed to protect the stream. To help with this environmental problem and to comply with the court's ruling, Governor Barnes recommends $1,168,000 in FY 2002 to support the 5th year of the 8-year TMDL development program. Under revised EPA regulations requiring implementation plans to achieve water quality standard compliance within 15 years, this project is projected to cost a total of $14,472,000.
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama are working together to manage shared water resources under federally approved Interstate Comp acts. The purpose of the interstate compacts is to develop water allocation formulas to settle disputes over the use and management of interstate waters of the Apalachicola-ChattahoocheeFlint (ACF) and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) river systems. Governor Barnes has included $250,000 in his Amended FY 2001 Budget for technical and legal contract services to support Georgia's negotiating team.
The purpose of the interstate compacts is to develop water allocation formulas to settle disputes over the use and management of interstate waters of the ApalachicolaChattahoochee-Flint (ACF) and Alabama-CoosaTallapoosa (ACT) river systems. In order to determine accurate water budgets and flow rates, a Southwest Georgia Groundwater Study is necessary to evaluate the impact of Lake Seminole on the ground and surface waters in that region of the state. Governor Barnes recommends $62,000 in the FY 2002 budget to provide the final year of funding for this 3-year project, conducted jointly with the U.S. Geologic Survey, to determine the flow of ground and surface water into and out of Lake Seminole to protect Georgia's water rights in negotiations with Florida and Alabama. This project will cost a total of $875,000 with $437,500 in state funds matched by $437,500 in federal funds.
On the other side of the state, Georgia and South Carolina are working together to ensure that the needs of stakeholders of the Savannah River basin are met. The Governor's Amended FY 2001 budget includes $250,000 for the first year of a comprehensive study of the Savannah River basin, designed to evaluate the upstream and downstream needs of stakeholders. Second-year

funding is also provided in the FY 2002 budget. This funding will match funds provided by the State of South Carolina and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The study, which will take 4 years, will cost a total of $4,000,000.
AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY The failure of the metropolitan Atlanta area to meet
mandatory federal air quality standards threatens the health of Georgians and will result in stiff restrictions and regulations on businesses in the state. A continued failure to meet federal air quality standards has jeopardized federal funding for Georgia and will seriously impact the state's future economic growth and development.
Governor Barnes supports several programs to reduce air pollution in the Atlanta area. His strategy includes continuing a regional approach to the development of transportation alternatives in conjunction with the continuation and exp ansion of existing programs to reduce the number of cars on the roads by encouraging carpooling, alternative work schedules, and the increased use of existing mass transit.
The Governor's strategy for cleaning up Atlanta's air does not rely solely on mass transit and commuter rail. It includes programs aimed at permanently changing citizens' attitudes toward their daily commute to work or school. The FY 2002 budget includes increased funding for the Partnership for a Smog-free Georgia (PSG) program. State funding of $800,000 will match $3.2 million in federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to enhance this program. Through PSG, EPD partners with businesses, governments, universities and others in the metro-Atlanta area to develop voluntary vehicle emission reduction plans that can be implemented throughout the ozone season of May 1 to September 30, or on days with projected high ozone levels. These voluntary plans can include carpooling and mass transit, alternative work schedules, and telecommuting. PSG includes a major public education campaign as well as enhanced air-monitoring capabilities in order to more accurately project daily ozone levels in Atlanta.
Governor Barnes will continue to expand state government's role as a leader in adopting policies and implementing incentives that encourage employees to reduce the number of single-passenger trips to work within the Atlanta ozone non-attainment area. In FY 2002, the Governor continues his support of the State Employee Commuter Assistance Program. The FY 2002 budget includes $100,000 in state funds to match $400,000 in federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to continue the Georgia State Agency Rideshare Office and to provide mass transit subsidies for state employees in metropolitan Atlanta.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services

LAND ACQUISITION AND CONSERVATION

STRATEGY

The Department of Natural Resources acquires land

for various conservation, historic preservation and public

recreational purposes. The U.S. Census Bureau reports

that, between 1990 and 1999 Georgia's population grew

more than 20% by adding 1.3 million residents, making it

the fourth fastest-growing state in numbers of people. Yet

in 1995, Georgia was only 10th of 16 southeastern states

in terms of public land ownership; it had just 8.6% in

federal, state or local governmental ownership.

Georgia's growing population needs increasing

amounts of land that is protected by public ownership to

protect water quality, wildlife habitat, historic resources,

and recreational opportunity. An important factor in

Georgia's economic prosperity to date has been the quality

of its environment. However, as more people come to the

State seeking space to live and work, the open, natural

lands that Georgians once enjoyed are rapidly changing

into housing, commercial and industrial facilities, and

transportation corridors. Public land which is managed

for recreation, wildlife management, and historic resource

protection helps keep Georgia livable and thus

economically competitive.

In FY 2002, Governor Barnes continues his

commitment to greenspace protection with a

recommendation of $30,000,000 in funds to continue the

Community Green Space program. The $30,000,000 will

provide grants to rapidly developing counties for the

preservation of greenspace. This program, begun in FY

2001 by Governor Barnes, aims to balance land

development and the preservation of publicly-accessible,

connected greenspaces in areas where people live, work,

shop, play, and go to school.

The FY 2002 budget also includes $3.5 million in

additional assistance for the Arabia Mountain Greenway

Project. This funding will match federal and local funds

as well as private donations for a project that ultimately

seeks to connect DeKalb County's Arabia Mountain Park

up the South River to the State of Georgia's Panola

Mountain Park, creating a multi-use trail connecting

DeKalb, Rockdale and Henry Counties.

The Governor's Amended FY 2001 budget provides

$20 million to acquire the Chickasawhatchee tract in

Baker, Calhoun, and Dougherty Counties. In addition, the

FY 2002 budget also includes $55,000 to assist Baker and

Dougherty Counties with the removal of this property

from their tax digests.

The 15,100-acre

Chickasawhatchee tract is one of the biggest tracts of

scenic, unspoiled land obtained by the state in over 20

years. The land, which is in one of the largest remaining

freshwater swamps in the southeastern United States, has

been called one of the state's most desirable green spaces.

In addition to being home to numerous rare plants and

wildlife, the swamp serves as the primary recharge area

for the Floridan aquifer, which provides drinking water to

Florida, South Georgia and coastal Georgia.

Governor Barnes budget also addresses another valuable state resource Ossabaw Island. This stateowned island located off the upper coast of Georgia just south of Savannah was the first area in the state to receive the designation of Heritage Preserve. A recently completed comprehensive management plan for the island has indicated a need to expand educational opportunities on the island in order to fully meet the island's mandate. Towards this end, the Governor's FY 2002 budget includes $209,237 to increase educational opportunities on Ossabaw Island. This recommendation will provide for personnel, operating expenses and equipment to allow for self-guided and facilitated day-trips, group educational visits and family and small group educational weekends.
STATE PARKS AND HISTORIC SITES DEVELOPMENT
With a growing state population, the Department of Natural Resources must meet increasing demands for public access to quality historic, cultural, recreation, hunting, fishing and boating facilities throughout the state. The Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division manages 48 state parks, 15 historic sites, over 72,000 acres of land, 2 lodges, 7 golf courses, 279 cottages and more than 3,000 campsites. It also manages a number of swimming pools, beaches, and other recreational facilities. Over 16 million people visited Georgia's state parks and historic sites in FY 2000.
Governor Barnes has included a number of improvements and expansions to the state park system in his Amended FY 2001 and FY 2002 budgets. The Amended FY 2001 budget includes $5.6 million in bonds for construction of a new state park on the Suwannee River that will include extensive nature trails, camping and picnicking facilities, a boat ramp, group lodge, and a 9-hole golf course.
In addition, $750,000 in bonds is recommended in the Amended FY 2001 budget for initia l development of the Resaca Battlefield historic site. The FY 2002 budget also provides $110,339 for a site manager and associated operating funds to begin custodial supervision of the site.
Other parks projects recommended in the Amended FY 2001 budget include $2.5 million to match private funds for the construction of the Little White House museum in Warm Springs, $500,000 for surveys, planning and design of a new Middle Georgia state park in Houston County, and $500,000 for the expansion of the Gordonia-Altamaha golf course to 18 holes.
The Governor's budget also includes funding for the improvement of existing state parks. The Amended FY 2001 budget includes $250,000 in state matching funds for trails projects at five state parks: High Falls, Victoria Bryant, Sapelo Island, Cloudland Canyon, and Tallulah Gorge. The FY 2002 budget also includes funding to meet critical staffing needs at Tallulah Gorge state park, Richard B. Russell state park, and the Hofwyl Broadfield Plantation.

Notes:

1 - Because follow-up surveys are not completed until a minimum of 6 months has elapsed after the assessment is completed,

FY00 reporting is delayed.

2 - Data provided by military bases is based on calendar year, rather than state fiscal year. Therefore, FY 2000 data is not yet

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
Roles and Responsibilities

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is comprised of 5 members appointed by the Governor and empowered to grant, deny, condition and revoke executive clemency. The board reviews the sentences of all inmates to determine what degree of executive clemency may be warranted, directs the clemency action, and supervises the offenders who have been paroled or conditionally released from prison until the completion of their sentences.
The board achieves its constitutional mandate through its mission to:
Protect the public by thoroughly investigating and processing inmate cases and making responsible, just, and equitable parole decisions while balancing punishment and rehabilitation.
Respond to the needs and concerns of crime victims and their families.
Use agency and community resources as a bridge to help parolees reach self-sufficiency and stable citizenship.
Supervise parolees skillfully and return to prison those who demonstrate they will not, by choice, abide by their release conditions.
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS In order to accomplish its mission, the agency is divided
in to four divisions: Clemency, Administration, Field Operations and Community Based Services. The Clemency Division works most closely with the board on a day-to-day basis, gathering information and preparing cases for the board to make clemency decisions. The Clemency Division manages requests for restoration of rights and pardons. Finally, this division is responsible for communication with victims and victims groups to make sure Board members know and understand their needs and concerns.
The Field Operations Division assists the Clemency Division by completing important investigations that are used in the clemency decision process. Inmates who are granted the privilege of parole to community supervision, are supervised by this division's parole officers, who work in 60 offices throughout the state. Field parole officers provide offender oversight through a process known as Results Driven Supervision. This model for addressing the risk and needs of parolees was the 1999 recipient of the Council of State

Governments Innovations Award. Parole officers spend a majority of their time in the community intervening with parolees and their families, talking to employers, networking with police officials and staying in touch with treatment providers to ensure parolee compliance with the conditions of parole. As certified peace officers, parole officers also execute board warrants and provide back up to local law enforcement as needed.
The board's Community Based Services Division (CBS) helps parole officers gain access to the programs necessary for the successful reintegration of parolees. These include substance abuse and mental health treatment, job readiness and education programs, programs that address offender criminal thinking and other needs such as sex offender programming. CBS staff help determine which programs are most effective and work with community organizations to create new programs. CBS staff work closely with the Department of Corrections to oversee and implement intensive treatment programs at two facilities operated by corrections. Additionally, CBS has established a pilot restorative justice project to communicate more effectively with victims and to identify work projects in the community where parolees can make amends for the harm caused the community by their crimes.
The Administration Division provides support for the internal operations of the agency including budget/fiscal, staff training, personnel services, operational audits, criminal justice research and information technology and services. The agency is acknowledged as having one of the best parole training programs in the United States. The Agency has also won accolades for the development of a low cost, comp uterized case management system known as the Field Log Of Interactive Data (FLOID) that provides a wealth of statistical data for the management and assessment of outcomes of parolee supervision and recidivism.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
Strategies and Services

ELECTRONIC MONITORING The Board of Pardons and Paroles has operated an
electronic monitoring program since November 1991. Electronic monitoring (EM) is an enhancement to supervision that has been recognized as a tool to provide additional surveillance and control for a selected parolee population. Electronic monitoring does not provide continuous knowledge of the offender's whereabouts, but rather it is a means of knowing when an offender is not at a prescribed location. The purpose of electronic monitoring is to place a parolee within a structured and controlled environment. Electronic monitoring is most effectively used in conjunction with other supervision and rehabilitative strategies, not alone. Studies have shown that, combined with appropriate case supervision, electronic monitoring can increase the likelihood of parole success.
During FY 2001, the number of electronic monitoring units is projected at 980 units, with an average cost of $3.10 per offender per day. These units will continue to be utilized to expand the types of parolees placed under electronic monitoring. The electronic monitoring program will be used in conjunction with the Specialized Parole Supervision program (SPS) to provide a balanced, intensive approach to dealing with high risk/high need parolees.
The Board has also initiated an offender funded electronic monitoring pilot program. This pilot is for the purpose of determining the feasibility of requiring offenders, at their own expense, to contract with a monitoring company to provide necessary electronic monitoring services. The pilot project includes nine parole districts, one being rural. If the evaluation of the pilot is positive, it will determine the service components and structure of the EM program in the future.
AUTOMATION CLEMENCY OFFENDER NOTES SYSTEM -- The
Parole Board will have developed the Clemency Offender Notes System (CONS) by the end of FY 2001. The system will allow the Parole Board to migrate from paper documents to electronically stored documents for all new cases entering the Department of Corrections in FY 2002.
Once current cases are converted to the clemency offender notes system, the field staff will add information to an electronic file at the time investigations are being completed. The case material will be built from its earliest stages in this new format - soon after a convicted person is incarcerated into the Department of Corrections' system. The data that originates at the parole sites will be available for the first time. It will be fully integrated into one system from which many people can draw data for analysis.
The Clemency Offender Notes System and the Case Management will allow the board to be more flexible in changing its focus as needs change. It is this flow of data that will better equip managers at all levels to supervise the ever-increasing population of parolees. The board will also

be able to report to other entities of the state, such as Office of Planning and Budget and others, with much more analytical information.
CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM In the past, the Parole Board had to rely on data gleaned from reports that have been produced manually and then tallied by hand.
This has resulted in insufficient reporting of caseload management processes, as well as newer board initiatives such as electronic monitoring, drug testing, counselor referrals and cognitive restructuring. The agency has fully implemented the new case management system. Now each parole officer has a laptop computer that is connected to the document management system.
The case management system was named F.L.O.I.D. (Field Log of Interactive Data). With case management being implemented, a chief is able to call up his office's cases and view them in almost unlimited ways. For example: find all parolees who have tested positive for any drug in the past 6 months and who have been unemployed for more than 4.
The case management system allows the board to quickly evolve from a document/text driven system to a data/information driven environment, which connects directly, the field personnel with the central office's clemency process.
SPECIALIZATION CLASSIFICATION/CASE MANAGEMENT -- The
Board of Pardons and Paroles uses the results driven supervision model for parolee supervision and case management. In this model, officer interaction is designed to focus on the outcome of supervision, producing a compliant, law-abiding parolee. Parolees continue to be classified into 1 of 3 levels of supervision based on a formal, instrument-based assessment of the risk they present in the community. The higher their risk, the higher the level of supervision. Supervision activities are a combination of surveillance, monitoring and intervention activities customized to each parolee to ensure their compliance with the conditions of parole and the safety of the community.
Certain groupings of parolees require more intensive supervision due to the heightened risk they present or to the special needs or problems they exhibit. Continuing expansion of the board's Specialized Parole Supervision program (SPS) is underway. By integrating the SPS program with the board's very successful electronic monitoring program (EM) these offenders can be successfully managed on parole supervision. Parolee groupings targeted for the SPS/EM program include boot camp parolees, sex offenders, violent offenders and parolees with drug and alcohol problems. These high risk/high need parolees will be supervised on reduced caseloads and generally be placed on electronic monitoring

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES -- Strategies and Services

to ensure that they receive intensive services to remain safely in the community.
The results driven supervision model focuses on employment and drug abuse. In FY 1999 68% of the parolees were successfully discharged from Parole; 88% of parolees were employed, and 4,623 parolees were placed in a substance abuse treatment program.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING PROGRAM A core component of results-driven supervision is substance abuse treatment for parolees whose past or current alcohol or other drug use makes them high risk for relapse into criminal behavior and drug use. The goal of parolee substance abuse treatment is to increase community

safety by promoting the productive, law-abiding, and drug free lifestyles of offenders.
The Board of Pardons and Paroles contract through the Department of Human Resources Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse and the Regional Boards to provide access to local assessment and treatment services where available. In areas where services are limited the Board of Pardons and Paroles has begun contracting on a part-time basis, to provide services within the parole offices. The agency also monitors contracted residential substance abuse programs at Homerville State Prison and Whitworth Detention Center.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Strategies and Services

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is responsible for protecting the lives of Georgia's citizens by making the state's highways safer. As the largest law enforcement agency in the State of Georgia, the department is involved in regulating drivers, enforcing traffic and criminal laws, and promoting safe driving practices. In FY 2000, the department's troopers investigated 30,800 accidents, and made 10,651 DUI arrests. These efforts have contributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia.
In FY 2001, the Governor showed his support for the department's efforts to increase the safety of the state's highways by increasing the size of the State Patrol by 25 Troopers. This brought the authorized count for sworn officers in the Georgia State Patrol to 914.
In FY 2002, the Governor will once again show his support by recommending an additional 75 Troopers. The two-year increase will provide the State Patrol with an authorized count of 989 sworn officers. The addition of 100 new Troopers, between FY 2001 and FY 2002, represents a 12% increase.
In conjunction to the 75 additional troopers, the Governor is recommending a special pay package for the departments sworn personnel. The Governor's objective for the pay package is to attack the continuing problem of recruitment and retention of State Troopers. The package includes an increase in the target hire salary as well as a 4% increase for the current filled positions. This will increase the target hire salary for a Trooper from $26,646 to

$30,557, representing a 14.7% increase. The new beginning trooper salary will place Georgia as the leader amongst Southeastern States. The pay package will assist the Department of Public Safety in their endeavor to hire the most professional and qualified candidates to protect the citizens of this State.
HIGHWAY SAFETY The department's highway safety program consists of
the following functions, which are performed by the Georgia State Patrol:
Speed Limit Enforcement--The department wrote more than 181,981 citations for speeding in FY 2000 as part of its ongoing effort to reduce highway speed and save lives. Further, the department continued an intensive speed enforcement program, known as Operation Hardnose, designed to target problem drivers in the Atlanta area. Operation Hardnose consists of 50 troopers in concentrated patrols on metro interstates and has resulted in thousands of tickets and warnings being issued.
Driving while under the influence Enforcement--The department imple ments and has a continuum of programs to target the enforcement of the DUI laws. In FY 2000, the department made 10,651 arrests.
The Star GSP Service Program is one of the departments DUI enforcement programs. In this program the average citizen is asked to call and report potential DUI violators. This program resulted in 1,100 arrests in FY 1999.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services

Seat Belt and Child Restraint Enforcement--With the passage of Georgia's primary seat belt enforcement law, the State of Georgia has made a commitment to seat belt enforcement. According to studies, proper use of safety belts and child safety seats can reduce the likelihood death and injury by 40-50%. The department's troopers and the Office of Highway Safety have enhanced the public's awareness of seat belt safety through aggressive enforcement and through numerous public service announcements targeting seat belt usage. In FY 1998, the department implemented operation "Strap `N Snap," which is focusing on seatbelt and child restraint usage. During FY 2000, 55,393 seat belt citations and 5,456 child restraint citations were written in this operation.
Drug Interdiction Task Force--The state patrol continues to be aggressive in their mission to reduce the amount of illic it drugs that are imported and transported on Georgia's highways. In the past four years the drug seizure amounts confiscated by the task force have more than doubled.
To work in conjunction with the interdiction task force the department recently implemented a K-9 program. In this program, troopers are specially trained in the area of drug detection, and will assist with in the efforts of drug interdiction.
DRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE The department's driver services division continues to
battle with providing improved customer services. The 32 service-oriented facilities renewed over 1,411,890 driver's licenses in FY 2000, representing an 11% increase over FY 1999. In the FY 2001, Governor Barnes provided 10 additional drivers license examiners for the high volume metro area. Combining innovative ideas, technology and support from Governor Barnes, the department has been successful in their effort to improve customer service.
Another step to improve service is the introduction of computerized digital imaging license issuance in the fall of

1996. Digital imaging makes it possible for the department to issue a renewal driver's license immediately, rather than 45 days. A digital imaging system does not require film or a camera; instead, the image is captured by a computer using a video camera and printed using a color printer. Over-the-counter instant issuance has significantly improved the efficiency and quality of service.
The Governor supports the department's efforts to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities involving teenage drivers. The leading cause of death in U.S. teenagers is motor vehicle crashes and young drivers experience a disproportionately higher rate of motor vehicle crashes than other aged drivers. According to the Office of Highway Safety, 108 of every 100,000 drivers under 18 were involved in a fatal crash. This is 3 times as many traffic deaths as drivers who are 24 years or older.
Young drivers are involved in more deadly crashes than other age groups due to a number of factors, including a lack of driving experience, a tendency to drive faster, driving more at night, not wearing seat belts, having more passengers in their vehicles, and not being able to handle the effects of alcohol.
TRAINING The State of Georgia currently has 44,532 peace
officers in 971 state, county and local law enforcement agencies. To be certified, law enforcement personnel are required to complete a minimum prescribed 400-hour basic mandate course. Peace officers are also required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of in-service training annually to maintain certification. The following agencies attached to DPS for administrative purposes are critical in providing training to state and local law enforcement personnel: Police Academy, Fire Academy, Firefighter Standards and Training Council, Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the Public Safety Training Center.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for regulating public utility and transportation companies under its jurisdiction. In carrying out its responsibilities the commission promulgates and enforces rules governing regulated companies, assists consumers of regulated companies with questions and problematic situations, and educates the public on consumer rights and responsibilities in the evolving regulatory environment. Above all, the commission aims to ensure that the best value in electric, natural gas, and telecommunications service is delivered to Georgia consumers and that the level of transportation and pipeline safety practiced in the state remains high. At the same time, the commission must provide regulated companies the opportunity to earn fair returns on their investments.
The PSC is a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial agency directed by a 5-member board of commissioners. Commissioners are elected through statewide general elections and serve 6-year terms. The agency staff of accountants, analysts, enforcement officers, engineers, information systems specialists, inspectors, and various administrative personnel assists the commissioners in fulfilling their duties. The commission is organized into three divisions: the Administration Division, the Transportation Division, and the Utilities Division.
UTILITIES DEREGULATION With the onset of competition in the natural gas and
telecommunications industries, the commission's role has evolved considerably throughout the past decade. Instead of simply acting as a traditional regulatory body, the PSC now establishes and monitors competitive markets, arbitrates complaints among competitors, and provides consumer protection and education. The commission's transformation is expected to continue as these industries and possibly the electric industry move toward full competition.
The progress towards full competition varies among the PSC-regulated utilities. As for the telecommunications industry, long distance service was opened to competition in the mid-1980s while local service was deregulated about a decade later. In 1997 state legislation mandated that, for the most part, natural gas companies should be allowed to

compete in an open market. In recent years the natural gas and telecommunications industries have evolved from monopoly market structures (where customers are served by a single provider) to competitive markets (where customers can choose from multiple providers for certain services). Selected services, such as natural gas distribution, continue to be monopoly services regulated by the commission. As for the electric industry, restructuring is being discussed at both the state and federal level, although no statutory changes have been made to date.
Today, even though the natural gas and telecommunications industries have been opened to competition, the PSC remains responsible for monitoring the rates and service standards of electric, natural gas, and telecommunications companies. Additionally, it is the role of the commission to approve supply plans for electric and natural gas companies and to certify competitive natural gas and telecommunications service providers.
The PSC recognizes that its responsibility to ensure that utility services are reliable and reasonably priced has not changed even as utility markets have become more competitive. The Public Service Commissioners feel that Georgians should continue to have access to high quality utility services, whether those services are priced in a competitive market or through economic regulation.
ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES While utility deregulation has been a primary issue of
concern for all citizens of the state, PSC inspectors have worked diligently to carry out the commission's responsibility of enforcing commercial vehicle and pipeline safety regulations. Both of these programs aim to prevent accidents that could adversely impact public safety.
The PSC also administers the Georgia No Call program, the Telecommunications Relay Service for the hearing and speech impaired, the Natural Gas Universal Service Fund, and the Telecommunications Universal Access Fund.
AUTHORITY Article 4, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of
Georgia; Titles 40 and 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

The Public Service Commission has adopted the following strategic directions, which guide daily service delivery to the citizens of Georgia:
Ensure that reliable electric, natural gas, telecommunications, and transportation services are available to consumers and reasonably priced either through effectively competitive markets or through economic regulation;
Enhance public well-being through the pipeline and transportation safety programs;
Demonstrate a commitment to all customers and stakeholders;
Utilize information technology in an effort to be more accessible to the public; and
Enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of agency operations.
In carrying out the commission's many responsibilities, the PSC's elected commissioners and executive staff stress the agency's strategic directions. This is exemplified in the commission's natural gas deregulation, utility system protection, and roadside inspection efforts.
NATURAL GAS DEREGULATION AND CONSUMER EDUCATION EFFORTS
Throughout this past year, the newly competitive natural gas industry has continued to evolve. In 1999, most consumers initially selected a natural gas marketer. During the initial selection phase, the PSC made an effort to educate consumers about deregulation and the choices they would need to make. The commission has continued this effort by posting a certified gas marketer scorecard to its website each month. The scorecards tally complaints against each of the 10 certified gas marketers as received by the PSC's consumer affairs section.
Since citizens first started doing business with the new gas marketers, many complaints regarding poor treatment of customers have been reported to the commission, which is why the scorecards are a necessary part of consumer education efforts. The monthly scorecard provides consumers with up to date information on each gas company's customer service record with Georgia consumers.
Although the transformation to a competitive natural gas market began three years ago, consumer complaints remain common and the PSC is still working towards reducing them. For the month of November 2000, the gas marketer scorecard revealed that there were 766 billing, 93 service, and 32 deceptive marketing complaints reported to the PSC. It was a spike in billing comp laints in the summer of 2000 (1,415 in August alone) that prompted the PSC to propose new rules governing gas marketer billing practices. Approved by commissioners in November, the rules set service quality standards for bill timeliness, accuracy, and comprehensiveness.

In FY 2002, the PSC plans to continue operation of its consumer affairs call center where specialists assist utility customers with billing and other service problems. The new billing standards will enable the commission to hold gas marketers accountable for unfair billing practices and protect consumer rights. By tracking complaints, enforcing standards, and providing gas marketer scorecards, the commission is working to fulfill its responsibilities of monitoring the newly competitive natural gas market and keeping the public informed.
GAS PIPELINE SAFETY AND UTILITY FACILITY PROTECTION
Thanks to the PSC's Gas Pipeline Safety program, natural gas is delivered to Georgia consumers via a safe and reliable system. Members of the pipeline safety team inspect gas pipelines, storage facilities, and systems as a whole, and they monitor the overall safety standards of suppliers and operators. Inspections ensure that pipes are free of corrosion damage, proper pressures are being maintained, odorant is being used to warn of leaks, employee drug testing is being conducted regularly, and other regulation safeguards are in place.
The pipeline safety office is charged with inspecting 277 natural gas systems with approximately 36,303 miles of pipeline and 1,745,790 service lines that supply over 2,000,000 customers. Additionally, the team inspects 5 liquefied natural gas systems and 6 propane systems. The PSC staff also offers safety training for operators. All of these activities lead to a safer environment for Georgia citizens.
During the 2000 legislative session, a new law known as the Georgia Utility Facility Protection Act was passed in an effort to reduce utility system damage caused by third party excavators. This act gave the PSC additional responsibility for investigating complaints and levying fines against violators who are found guilty of damaging electric, telecommunications, water, and/or natural gas utility infrastructure. The commission is working towards putting together a new unit comprised of inspectors that will have the specific role of investigating utility system damage and thereby safeguarding citizens and private property.
ROADSIDE INSPECTIONS The PSC's Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program,
which is 80% federally funded, aims to reduce traffic accidents and improve highway safety. Random roadside inspections performed by commission enforcement officers help to accomplish this objective. About 30,000 motor carrier inspections are performed annually by PSC officers who are specially trained to inspect motor vehicles and certified by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council. Additionally, the officers inspect thousands of vehicles transporting hazardous materials in the state and assist with hazardous material incident investigations.

State Funds

$7,249,758 $7,199,705 $7,899,911

Notes

1 - The desired results for FY 2000 were not achieved due to competitive local exchange providers' inability to transmit

successfully through BellSouth's Operational Support System. The commission is currently in the thirteenth month of testing

BellSouth's system to ensure that the competitive local exchange companies gain a meaningful opportunity to compete.

2 - Decisions of the Public Service Commissioners must be based on the record of evidence presented in hearings and

consistent with statutes. If not, the courts will overturn the decisions during the appeals process. One of the PSC's

telecommunications rate decisions is under appeal. Final resolution is not expected until 2001.

3 - Consumer rights increased following passage of the 1998 Georgia Telecommunications Marketing Act, which called

for sanctions against long-distance service providers that slam consumers. Additionally, the Federal Communications

Commission recently adopted a rule that imposes tough penalties for slamming and allows states to opt in to enforce it.

In this environment of increasing consumer choices and consumer rights, the PSC is reorganizing its monitoring and

handling of complaints in an effort to more effectively address the marketer practices that cause them. It is expected

that this effort will offset anticipated complaint increases.

433

Public Service Commission -- Results-Based Budgeting

UTILITIES REGULATION PROGRAM
Notes Continued 4 - The penetration rate for telephone service reflects the total number of residential access lines divided by the total number of households based on Federal Communications Commission statistics. 5 - Decisions of the Public Service Commissioners must be based on the record of evidence presented in hearings and consistent with statutes. If not, the courts will overturn the decisions during the appeals process. The PSC did not lose any appeals relating to natural gas rate decisions from FY 1998 through FY 2000. 6 - Consumer choice increased as a result of the 1997 Georgia Natural Gas Competition and Deregulation Act. By July 1999 the market was completely deregulated and the quick transition to a competitive market had become very problematic. The majority of certified gas marketers underestimated the capacity needed to effectively bill customers, which resulted in 8,752 billing complaints in FY 2000. The PSC received 3,170 slamming complaints in FY 2000, most of which occurred prior to the commission's passage of a rule imposing tough sanctions on marketers who slam customers. 7 - Decisions of the Public Service Commissioners must be based on the record of evidence presented in hearings and consistent with statutes. If not, the courts will overturn the decisions during the appeals process. No electric rate decisions of the PSC were appealed in FY 2000.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AND DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM

Purpose: To maintain and improve commercial driver and vehicle safety to protect the lives and property of anyone using

Georgia's roadways.

Goal 1: Reduce the number of commercial vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities due to mechanical defects and driver violations of state and federal regulations.

Roles and Responsibilities

The University System of Georgia provides public higher education facilities and programs to Georgia residents. In fall 2000, the system served 205,878 students and during FY 2000, granted 34,373 degrees.
The Units of the University System perform several functions, including instruction, research, and public service. The primary mission of the system is instruction. This activity is funded through the Resident Instruction or "A" Unit Budget. The "B" Unit Budget contains 16 different functional budgets. Activities funded through the "B" Unit include the Georgia Tech Research Institute, Agricultural Experiment Stations, Cooperative Extension Service, and the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.
INSTRUCTION The system is composed of 34 institutions that provide
approximately 90% of the people of Georgia with access to institutions of higher education within commuting distance. Fifteen two-year colleges offer programs leading to an associate degree. Four of these institutions (Bainbridge, Coastal Georg ia Community College, Clayton and Dalton) offer technical programs through an arrangement with the State Board of Technical and Adult Education. There are 13 senior colleges and state universities in the system. These institutions offer baccalaureate degrees, and most offer associate and graduate degrees. All 6 regional and research universities in the system offer graduate and professional degrees, as well as some associate and baccalaureate degrees.
RESEARCH Research is concentrated in four research universities.
Funding for research is derived from the funding formula, federal or private sponsored research, special state programs like GRA, Yamacraw, and Traditional Industries, and special research institutes.
GEORGIA RESEARCH ALLIANCE (GRA) - is a partnership between Georgia's public and private research universities and private corporations to promote economic development by focusing Georgia's research capabilities in targeted technologies such as advanced communications, biotechnology, and environmental technologies that offer significant potential for economic and industrial growth.
YAMACRAW - is a comprehensive effort to expand the broadband communications industry in Georgia through producing more graduates for the industry, focusing research and fostering the commercialization of this research.
GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH INSTITUTE (GTRI) is comprised of 6 laboratories that provide a broad range of scientific, engineering and industrial research.
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS conduct basic and applied agricultural research related to the success of Georgia agriculture. This mission is accomplished by research in crop and animal production,

product quality, new product development, and the use of new technology in the processing and manufacturing of these products.
SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY (SKIO) - is a non-degree granting research institute of the University System that provides the state with an internationally recognized marine science center that helps promote economic development within Georgia, and provides distance learning and significant environmental research and information.
PUBLIC SERVICE The University System also has as one of its missions
direct service to farmers, businesses, industry, and communities. Assistance is provided through continuing education, public service, institutes, and special services and organizations.
ECONMIC DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE (EDI) encourages industrial and economic development by providing an extension service that meets the technical, informational and other needs of industry and local development groups. EDI also operates the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) for incubating new technology companies.
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE - provides assistance to Georgia farmers through a network of county extension agents who share information and research developed through the Agricultural Experiment Stations. Cooperative Extension also provides useful and practical information to the people of Georgia on subjects related to natural resources, home economics, youth development, rural development, and family support.
PUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES - The purpose of the public library system in Georgia is to provide assistance, information, and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. The Office of Public Library Services was transferred by legislative act effective July 1, 2000 from DTAE to Regents. There are 57 public library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition the state's library for the blind and physically handicapped.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission
(GPTC) provides a 9-station television and 13-station radio network designed to meet the educational, cultural and informational needs of the people of Georgia.

Sciences Building for the Division of Agriculture and Forest Resources; $12,340,000 for a Physical Education Building at Darton College; $18,590,000 for construction of a Student Success Center and recreation center at Georgia Southwestern State University; $23 million for a convocation and classroom center at Kennesaw State University; and $18,890,000 for phase 2 of a project replacing classrooms at Augusta State University.
In addition to projects specifically tied to academic programs at the state's colleges and universities, the Governor is also proposing a few special projects of major significance for the economic development of the state. For the Georgia Technology Regional Engineering Program (GTREP) $5 million is recommended for the purchase or construction of a facility in Savannah to house GTREP programs offered by Armstrong Atlantic State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Southern University, and Savannah State University. At Georgia Southern University $20 million is recommended for a new building to house a new school of information technology as well as Georgia Southern's GTRE programs. A pharmaceutical testing and vaccine development facility at the University of Georgia for $10 million is recommended. A Rural Development Center in Tifton is proposed for $4.9 million to serve rural Georgia.
Formula Adjustments The University System funding formula has been
adjusted to reflect actual expenditure patterns. The realignment of cost factors represents the first revision to the formula since being implemented in 1982. The formula includes $22,198,351 in additional funding reflecting a 1.5% enrollment increase. The formula also includes $7,510,968 to offset operating costs from 1,667,183 square feet of new building space, $10,000,000 for health insurance to pay claims and maintain an adequate reserve, and $5,134,888 to adjust fringe benefits primarily for retirees.
Governor Barnes recommends establishing a technology factor as part of the revised funding formula. The technology factor, funded at 1.75% of the total formula requirement, will provide an ongoing source of funding for University System technology needs. The factor will provide for projects such as Peachnet, GAEasy, GeorgiaHire, GLOBE and others. For fiscal year 2002, the technology factor will provide the University System with total funds of $31.5 million (almost $24 million in state funds) for high priority technology needs.
Finally, Governor Barnes recommends $18,000,000 in additional funding formula to offset enrollment declines experienced by University System institutions as a result of semester conversion. University System enrollment remains below the 1999-2000 enrollment level. To minimize disruption to operations, the Governor

recommends this second additional year of funding to assist institutions through this transition period.
The Governor believes future revisions to the formula will be necessary to provide resources to keep the University System strong and moving ahead. Two revisions that need further review are factoring in:
a) High cost/high priority programs and b) Performance factors. High cost and/or high priority programs important to Georgia's economic development will be reviewed for appropriate treatment and weighting. Programs like Yamacraw and GTREP that have a high faculty cost and small class size will be considered. Focusing in on results by including performance factors will be examined to try to incent performance in the formula. These issues will be difficult to address but are important for the future growth and improvement of the University System.
Accountability The University System of Georgia has just completed
a management audit and a review or "benchmarking" of its activities and institutions to ensure that the state of Georgia is receiving the best possible return for its investment in public higher education. The Board of Regents are committed to utilizing the results to further refine and direct its activities as it continues to pursue its shared goal with Governor Barnes for a more educated Georgia. The Governor is recommending $1.0 million to begin development of an assessment and accountability system. In addition, the Governor recommends that the University System use some of the funding from the technology factor in the funding formula to support the technology aspects of this effort.
HIGH TECH RESEARCH-BASED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Georgia's investment in high tech research, development, and commercialization continues to pay dividends. The state's high tech job growth has consistently ranked among the top 5 in the nation for the past 4 years, and Georgia leads the southeast and ranks 10th in the nation in venture capital investment. With the intent to bolster these positive trends, Governor Barnes recommends over $32.7 million in new funding (FY 2001 amended and FY 2000 budgets) for the Georgia Research Alliance and Yamacraw, the state's premier high tech, science-based economic development initiatives.
The Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) model continues to attract attention and interest from around the nation. True to this successful model, the Governor recommends a total of $1.5 million in endowments for 2 additional eminent scholars (not counting the 5 included in the recommendation for the cancer initiative). One of the eminent scholars will be recruited in the field of embedded systems to join the Yamacraw team at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The second scholar will focus on tropical and emerging global disease in an effort

454

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

to forge closer links with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This scholar will be based at the University of Georgia.
Another $26,450,000 will provide state-of-theart research facilities ($25,325,000 for equipment and $1,125,000 for lab renovations) to move forward the research and development agenda in the areas of advanced communication, digital content, e-business, smart sensor systems, biomanufacturing, functional genomics and proteomics, and global infectious disease. Of that amount, $6,525,000 will be used as a match for prestigious federal NSF and NIH grants, leveraging over $75 million in federal funds over several years. These awards attest not only to the power of the research talent Georgia has amassed, but also to the power of collaboration since most of the grants involve several GRA institutions. An additional $1.0 million for equipment is being provided for researchers in the biotech area for collaborative research with an international company establishing a presence in Georgia. The recommendation for new funding for GRA is $27,950,000, all in the FY 2001 amended budget. In addition, the Governor's budget recommendation for the cancer initiative includes $6.4 million (endowments and equipment) for the recruitment of 5 GRA eminent scholars in the areas of functional genomics and proteomics to form the core of a new Bioinformatics Center. These scholars will not only contribute to the Governor's plan to fight cancer, but will also strengthen Georgia's position in biotechnology and create numerous economic development opportunities (see page 21 for more information on the Cancer Initiative).
Made possible by prior strategic investments in advanced communications through the Georgia Research Alliance, Yamacraw was initiated in FY 2000 to make Georgia a world leader in the design of broadband (highspeed) communications systems, devices, and chips the next generation of hardware/software infrastructure. Yamacraw is well on its way to meeting 4 main initiative goals: 1) creating recognition of Georgia as a global center in the broadband field; 2) developing and filling (through education and repatriation) at least 2,000 new high-paying jobs for electronic design experts; 3) helping at least 10 Yamacraw-related companies to establish themselves in Georgia by start-up, expansion, relocation, or creation of new divisions; and 4) quadrupling the amount of venture capital available to Yamacraw start-up companies. As of December 2000, 1) a national marketing campaign is creating recognition for the initiative; 2) Yamacraw has a commitment of over 2,330 jobs, and 40 new faculty are offering courses and degrees to meet the demand; 3) 13 major companies and 4 emerging companies contribute to the 2,330 job commitment; and 4) venture capital is on the rise and the Yamacraw seed fund has participated in funding 2 startup companies, leveraging every state dollar with at least 3 private dollars.

The next phase of the Yamacraw plan will require $4,543,267 in FY 2002. The recommendation includes $275,000 in the Amended FY 2001 Budget for human resources recruitment in the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism's budget to help Yamacraw meet its promise to fill member companies' job commitments. However, recruitment alone will not fill the jobs. The Governor recommends another $3,005,528 primarily for faculty increase the supply of broadband design professionals being produced by our universities. This includes $120,000 for an innovative faculty mentoring program, designed to build capacity at the smaller schools for which is may be difficult to recruit a sufficient number of faculty members to have the desired impact on instruction and, ultimately, the supply of trained designed experts. Through the mentoring program, faculty in related disciplines will work with and learn new content from Yamacraw faculty, so that they eventually will be able to teach courses that support Yamacraw's mission.
The investment in education will also increase Yamacraw's research capacity. However, with more companies joining the Yamacraw Design Center, there is also a need to step up the focused research effort. For this purpose, the Governor recommends an additional $500,000, bringing the total funding for focused research to $5.5 million. This will expand the participation in research projects to researchers at Georgia State University and to the University of Georgia. To shorten the time from laboratory to market, the Governor further recommends $250,000 to focus on the commercialization of this research.
The Governor also recommends $230,000 for additional staff and $557,739 for leased space for Yamacraw employees and faculty. The Yamacraw building, expected to open in the fall of 2002, will relieve much of the current space crunch. At the recommendation of a location study completed early this past summer, the approximately 200,000-square-foot building will be part of a larger Georgia Institute of Technology complex located in Midtown Atlanta. The building, currently in the design phase, will be strategically situated adjacent to the new Advanced Technology Development Center and the Georgia Tech continuing education center. To meet space needs at Georgia Southern University and to foster economic development in all regions of the state, the Governor also recommends $20 million for the construction of an information technology building at Georgia Southern University to house the university's new information technology school as well as its Yamacraw program and GTRE program.
Early this fall, Governor Barnes asked the board of the Georgia Research Alliance to assume overall governance of Yamacraw. This action will not only improve coordination among the two initiatives, but will also allow Yamacraw to benefit from GRA's 10 years experience and success as a model for bringing together a

RESEARCH System research funds are generated by the formula and raised from federal and private sources. However, additional research funds are recommended to support the research functions of several "B" Unit activities and research consortium and Forestry Research activities in the "A" Unit. Research projects conducted by the University System's institutions increase the national prestige of the system as a whole. Georgia creates research opportunities and reaps the benefits of pure and applied research findings.
Poultry is one of Georgia's top industries and exports. Two veterinary research projects are recommended in the FY 2002 Budget related to poultry. At the Veterinary Medicine Agricultural Research Center $32,019 is recommended to fund research related to minimizing antibiotic resistance in poultry to reduce the risk of transferring this resistance to humans. A second veterinary project in its third and final year of funding at the Veterinary Medicine Experiment Stations is recommended at $179,871. This program addresses non-poultry health and food safety issues.
Another important research function is the University of Georgia's Agricultural Experiment Station. The mission of this unit is to conduct research and provide information on the factors that influence agriculture in Georgia. Current research efforts focus on the environment, food safety, poultry and cotton production and developing Worldwide Web pages to enhance electronic information dissemination. The FY 2002 recommendation for the Agricultural Experiment Station is $47,097,409. These funds include a recommendation of $695,040 in additional funds for maintenance and operations expenses. The additional funds will free existing funds to allow the hiring of 4 faculty positions in the areas of water quality, human nutrition, genomics, and forestry. The budget also includes $350,000 to provide funds to the Agricultural Experiment Stations for a study of the potential for mushrooms as a cash crop for Georgia Farmers.
PUBLIC SERVICE Service activities provide assistance to groups or individuals outside the traditional classroom. The "A" Unit provides extensive continuing education classes and receives funds for Public Service Institutes such as the State Data Center at Georgia Tech and the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia. Many other service activities are funded through the "B" Unit.
The Cooperative Extension Service, based at the University of Georgia, is one such program. The principal focus of the program is agriculture embracing the food and fiber industries, horticulture, natural resources and the environment. In addition, the Cooperative Extension Service supports programs in home economics and the

statewide 4-H initiative. The FY 2002 Budget

recommendation for the Cooperative Extension Service is

$38,972,063. This includes an enhancement item of

$401,668 to increase funds for maintenance and

operations of Cooperative Extension facilities. The

additional funds will free existing resource to allow the

Service to add 4 county extension agents and begin water

conservation initiatives.

P-16/ Postsecondary Readiness Enrichment

Program (PREP) is designed to provide supplementary

academic readiness programs for middle school children

in at-risk situations who show potential, but may not be

able to meet the new admission standards for the

University System. The Governor recommends an

additional $600,000.

The Georgia Environmental Partnership (GEP) is

composed of the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (P2AD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources,

the Department of Biological and Agricultural

Engineering of the University of Georgia, and the

Economic Development Institute of the Georgia Institute

of Technology. GEP aims to leverage the expertise of its

partners to deliver technical assistance that promotes

pollution prevention, energy efficiency, and

environmental compliance.

The Governor's

recommendation for the FY 2001 amended budget marks

a departure from GEP's traditional focus on the private

sector. Building on the experience and success GEP has

had with businesses, Governor Barnes directs $250,000 of the trust fund administered by P2AD to be used to pilot a

sustainable energy efficiency, water conservation, and

waste reduction program for Georgia governmental

agencies. The program will initially focus on the Georgia

Department of Corrections, at that department's request.

Long-term benefits of such a program include reduced

air/water pollution and solid waste, increased resource

availability, and financial savings. Last, but not least, this

program will allow the state to lead by example by asking

of its own departments what it is asking of businesses.

Georgia will be one of only a handful of states with

similar initiatives.

The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and

Clinics serves as the teaching hospital for the University

System and focus on meeting the medical and health care

needs of the citizens of Georgia. The hospital and clinics

support services in local communities through various

outreach initiatives such as telemedicine or community

clinics. The total FY 2002 recommended budget for the

hospital and clinics is $36,839,795.

The State Data Research Center (SDRC) is

responsible for developing the K-12 student information

system that is the key element for an effective

accountability system. To help the Center complete this

task, Governor Barnes is recommending an additional

$2,391,580 for staffing and operating expenses. He also

provides $1,253,309 in the Amended FY 2001 Budget.

457

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

The SDRC also has responsibility for the Educational Technology Training Centers, which support technology training for teachers and administrators throughout the state. The Governor is recommending $1.0 million in additional funding in the Amended FY 2001 Budget to support the operations of those centers including upgrading the computer equipment.
The University System and the Board of Regents are instrumental to the success of many initiatives and reforms proposed by the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission. This year's budget includes several partnerships with entities of the University System for public service related to teacher training and professional development. To train master teachers, $1 million is provided to the Teacher Center at Kennesaw State University to train master teachers. The Georgia Systematic Teacher Education Program (GSTEP) a partnership of the University of Georgia, Valdosta State University, and Albany State University is a program designed to train and mentor new teachers. The Governor recommends $333,000 to match a $6.5 million grant for GSTEP. To improve the pedagogy and content knowledge of teachers in math and science $500,000 is recommended to the Georgia Institute of Technology Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) to take the lead in training math and science teachers. For more information regarding GERSC related initiatives see page 15.
As is customary, the budget for public libraries was increased to reflect a change in population. The FY 2002 budget includes $107,537 to provide public libraries funds for materials and maintenance and operations to reflect a 1.65% population increase. The Amended FY 2001 Budget includes $1,600,000 in lottery and Y2K funds to complete the installation of the PINES integrated circulation system in all the systems wishing to participate (148 buildings in 18 public library systems).
Since its establishment in 1982, the Georgia Public Telecommunication Commission (GPTC) has pushed towards its mission: to create, produce, and distribute high

quality programs and services that educate, inform, and entertain audiences and enrich the quality of their lives. To carry out its mission, GPTC operates nine television stations and 13 radio stations statewide Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission's state-of-the-art broadcast and production center, the most technologically advanced public broadcasting facility in the country, has been in operation since August 1997. The new digital environment - the television technology of the new millennium - has greatly expanded the capabilities of Georgia Public Broadcasting. PeachStar - the Commission's educational service's satellite delivery system - has continued to provide quality programming for every Georgia school and any other institution statewide that is equipped with a satellite dish. Georgia Public Broadcasting is able to distribute data via satellite to sites across the state and the nation. These data streams --which can include program schedules, bulletin boards, calendar information, newsletters, teacher's guides, lesson plans, Quality Core Curriculum correlation material, student activity materials, public service material, and emergency information - ensure equal access to important information in a timely, efficient and economical manner to all areas of the state.
With every public school, regional library and college and technical institution equipped with satellite technology, these entities have the capability to receive educational programming from over 25 satellites. GPTC also purchased a satellite transponder, allowing the state to broadcast educational programming to every Georgia school and any other institution statewide that has a satellite dish. Distance learning programming has expanded educational opportunities for Georgia students. The Governor recommends in the Amended FY 2001 Budget $1,350,00 in bonds for structural engineering studies to test the load capacities of the 9 broadcast towers. The amended budget also includes $5,816,400 in bonds for the digital conversion of three broadcast towers and $1,250,000 for emergency electrical power back-up equipment and generators.

FY 2002 Budget Summary
ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET
FY 2001 STATE APPROPRIATIONS Annualizers: 1. Annualize the cost of the FY 2001 salary adjustment. Other Adjustments: 2. Reduce non-recurring cost of the second year of the Governor's Property Tax Relief program. 3. Reduce motor vehicle purchases to reflect that only those vehicles with a projection of at least 120,000 miles traveled as of July 1, 2001 will be replaced. 4. Adjust GBA rental rates to a standard of $8.75 per rentable square footage.
ADJUSTED BASE
ENHANCEMENT FUNDS
ENHANCEMENTS 1. Continue the Governor's Property Tax Relief program which will raise the statewide homestead exemption value from the current amount of $6,000 to $8,000. This increase will eliminate general county and school property tax liability for the first $20,000 of fair market value on homesteads. 2. Outsource the International Registration Plan audits through an increase in per diem, fees and contracts. This will enable the department to reassign staff to sales and corporate tax audits which yield millions in state revenue annually. 3. Fund a scanner maintenance contract in the Internal Administration Division. 4. Fund real estate rental increases for Compliance Division regional offices in Albany, Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Douglas, Lithia Springs, Macon, Morrow, Rome, Savannah, Tucker, and Valdosta. 5. Provide payment of a nominal fee to the Federal Management Service for intercepting Internal Revenue Service refunds to offset tax obligations owed to Georgia. 6. Add 12 contract tax examiners to the Sales Tax Division responsible for handling flawed, problematic returns. 7. Provide funding for Georgia's share of the annual budgeted costs of the International Fuel Tax Agreement Regional Processing Center. 8. Increase funds to cover sales tax printing and publication expenditures associated with producing forms with pre-printed, individualized, machine-readable account information. 9. Cover anticipated relocation expenses. This funding increase will affect the regular operating ($974,853), real estate rental ($2,955,080), and telecommunications ($238,947) budget classes. 10. Provide funds that will be used to help the Motor Vehicle Division plan and prepare for its future move to the new Department of Motor Vehicle Safety. This funding increase will affect the personal services ($800,000), real estate rentals ($800,000), computer charges ($300,000), and equipment ($100,000) budget classes.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Roles and Responsibilities

Since 1938, the Department of Revenue (DOR) has been responsible for administering the state's tax laws and collecting and processing state revenues. Other duties include maintaining the title and registration records for motor vehicles registered in Georgia and enforcing laws and regulations pertaining to the control of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. Auditors, accountants, collectors, field representatives, and various specialists and administrative personnel work as authorized agents of the department's commissioner to carry out the DOR's responsibilities. In a typical year, these agents maintain and update millions of taxpayer accounts and motor vehicle records and enforce compliance with countless laws and regulations.
ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, DOR is comprised of the
following ten divisions that report to the commissioner: Administrative Division Internal Administration Division Compliance Division Information Systems Divis ion Motor Vehicle Division Taxpayer Accounting Division Income Tax Division Alcohol and Tobacco Division Property Tax Division Sales and Use Tax Division
Each division has an important role in the administration of tax laws and the collection of revenue.
TAX ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION DOR net state revenue collections for fiscal year 2000
totaled just over $13 billion, an 8.5% increase over fiscal year 1999. The major taxes and fees collected by the department are as follows:
Individual and Corporate Income Tax General Sales and Use Tax Motor Fuel Tax Motor Vehicle Fees Liquor, Beer, and Wine Tax Cigar and Cigarette Tax Each year the department also collects over $3 billion in taxes designated for local entities. The first of these is a 1% sales tax in Fulton and DeKalb Counties that is used as dedicated revenue for the construction and operation of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). The other 1% sales taxes designated for local entities are

the local option sales tax, the special purpose local option sales tax, the homestead local option sales tax, and the education local option sales tax.
MOTOR VEHICLE TITLING AND REGISTRATION The Motor Vehicle Division of the DOR is responsible
for providing a certificate of registration and title for most motor vehicles and mobile homes owned or operated in the state. Additionally, the division must provide registration and title information to county governments, law enforcement agencies, and all other appropriate entities. County Tax Commissioners and their employees (acting as DOR agents) process registrations, tag applications, and decal renewals at local offices, while Motor Vehicle Division employees manage statewide operations and purchase and maintain necessary equipment. The Motor Vehicle Division is also responsible for training county agents and ensuring that service standards are being met across the state. This decentralized arrangement has been made possible by the implementation of the Georgia Registration and Title Information System.
ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO REGULATION DOR enforces all laws and regulations concerning the
manufacture, possession, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages and the possession, transportation, and sale of tobacco products within the state. The department's Alcohol and Tobacco Division is comprised of a criminal investigative unit and an audit and operations unit. Agents assigned to the investigative unit carry out specialized investigations that focus on licensing and the sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products to underage persons. When necessary, they coordinate law enforcement actions with other enforcement agencies and lend assistance to outside parties. The audit and operations staff conducts audits of manufacturers, shippers, and distributors of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. In addition, they promote voluntary compliance with the state's alcoholic beverage and tobacco excise tax laws.
ATTACHED AGENCY The State Board of Equalization is attached to the
Department of Revenue for administrative purposes only. The board appoints hearing officers that evaluate appeals by local governing authorities on issues relating to the Revenue Commissioner's disapproval of county tax digests.
AUTHORITY Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Strategies and Services

PROCESSING OF TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS It is a long-range goal of the Department of Revenue
(DOR) to implement a comprehensive electronic government environment. Current e-government initiatives underway include expanding the types of tax returns that can be filed electronically, offering various telephone filing options across tax types, and accepting credit and debit card payments. In FY 2000, about 10% of returns were received electronically. While this development is promising, it is clear that DOR will continue receiving and processing millions of paper returns and check payments throughout the next several tax seasons.
With traditional processing as the mainstay, the department has continued to invest in machinery and technology that speeds the handling of documents. By replacing labor-intensive, manual processes with automation technology, DOR has been able to reduce payment and refund processing times, decrease processing costs, improve compliance, and ease the burden placed on taxpayers in reporting tax information.
An important part of the effort to streamline processing is the imaging of documents for archival and retrieval purposes. While high-speed scanners have been capturing digital images of tax filings for some time, a new project that utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is currently underway. The department successfully processed close to 500,000 returns using this technology on a trial basis in 1998 and 1999. Full implementation was delayed because the older version of OCR software was not year 2000 compliant. DOR has since received modernization funds to acquire compliant OCR software, which should be available for use in the next tax-processing season. This technology will quickly and accurately capture required data and thus speed up the overall processing of returns.
In the future, increased utilization of electronic filing options will eliminate many of the problematic aspects of traditional processing. Thus far, DOR has had great success in processing electronically filed income tax returns, and compared to other states, participation is high in Georgia. This success has prompted the department to embark on several e-government initiatives in other tax areas while continuing with efforts to streamline traditional processing methods.
MODERNIZATION OF CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX SYSTEMS
In the fall of 1999, DOR designed and implemented new corporate income and individual income tax processing systems. Both systems, which were designed in a clientserver environment with web based technology, performed

as expected during their first year of operation. These enhanced tax processing systems will serve as the department's foundation for improved technological functionality and reliability. As such, the systems will allow taxpayers more direct interaction with the department and its records, improve operating efficiency, and enable further expansion of electronic filing and other egovernment initiatives.
FINANCE AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In order to take full advantage of the opportunity to expand filing and payment options available, DOR had to redesign the current "Mail/Cash" processing system. This system creates daily deposits, performs front end processing for all other tax systems, and acts as the central repository for most returns and payments.
The current system, which was installed nearly twenty years ago, is not flexible enough to handle technologically advanced alternative filing and payment methods. An enhanced replacement system known as the Finance and Records Management System (FARMS) is currently being designed. FARMS, an integral part of the department's modernization plan, will consist of the following modules:
An enhanced transaction processing module that will allow a quick separation of the check from the paper return;
A credit and debit card processing module that will make it possible for the department to accept and process these types of payments;
A production management reporting module that will automate productivity record keeping and document tracking;
A depositing and accounting module that will automate the accounting process for deposits and the general ledger; and
A mail processing module that will automate many of the manual steps involved in processing and tracking mail.
Due to the tight integration and multitude of interfaces between FARMS and the other DOR tax applications, implementation and testing of the system will be expensive and complex. However, the advantages of the system in terms of faster deposits of receipts for the state and new filing and payment options for citizens are significant.
ELECTRONIC FILING OF INDIVIUAL INCOME TAX RETURNS
During the 2000 tax season, Georgia was once again a national leader in the number of individual income tax returns filed electronically in the joint federal-state

483

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE -- Strategies and Services

electronic filing program. As of August 2000, a total of 891,000 returns had been filed electronically. Through the joint program, taxpayers eligible to receive a refund have the option of electronically filing both their federal and state returns at one time. Compared to traditional paper filing, the process is more efficient and accurate. Refunds are typically issued within 3 weeks, and taxpayer reports of miscalculations are not common.
Even though program participation has been high, the department wants to make this program more accessible and appealing to taxpayers. Thanks to a continued commitment to expanding e-government options, the department has already seen a dramatic increase in program participation. Past program enhancements include providing a direct deposit service for refunds, allowing online filing via software vendors, and adding electronic filing options for part-year residents and nonresidents. For the upcoming tax season, the department plans to further enhance the program by accepting electronically filed returns with a balance due and adding the option to telefile returns. These program expansions should continue to make alternative filing methods more popular with the millions of taxpayers who still rely on traditional paper filing and lead to more efficient and accurate processing within the department.
SALES TAX ELECTRONIC FILING INITIATIVE In an effort to reduce processing time, eliminate
taxpayer and data entry errors, and improve the timeliness of distributions to local governments, DOR's Sales Tax Division is developing the capability to accept and process electronically filed returns from its customers. Once system enhancements are complete, taxpayers will have the option of filing sales tax returns via secure vendor websites. Vendors will ensure that returns are complete and that mathematical calculations are correct before any information is transmitted to the department. After transmission, data will be uploaded into DOR's cashiering

and sales tax systems where it will be edited and applied to the appropriate taxpayer accounts.
This new filing option will obviously benefit the department and its customers. The department will save time and resources through reduced screening requirements, while taxpayers will be able to file returns and transmit payments electronically with the vendor of their choice.
Initially, this option will be made available to the 4,000 taxpayers that currently remit their payments electronically. These taxpayers have the most complex returns, and their remittances account for 65% of total monthly sales tax collections. Eventually, the electronic filing option will be available to all sales tax dealers. The Sales Tax Division plans to initiate deployment to vendors in FY 2002.
MOTOR VEHICLE IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES As of September 2000, the Georgia Registration and
Title Information System (GRATIS) had been up and running successfully for 1 year. The system has helped make a county-based, real-time, on-line motor vehicle registration and titling program a reality. Motor Vehicle Division employees and county tax agents believe that the integrated registration and titling system is the best in the country since it has greatly decreased processing time and increased accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Although computer-related operating expenses have increased significantly with the year 2000 compliant system in place, the benefits to all stakeholders seem to outweigh the cost increase. For example, GRATIS enables county agents to identify emissions test and property tax evaders; it provides current, on-line accessible information to 15 federal and state agencies which once relied on paper and tape products from the old system; and it reduces customer waiting time since information can be processed on the spot. The Motor Vehicle Division now plans to further improve the title and registration services delivered at the county-level through policy and strategy development, business training, and technical support.

TAX ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS Purpose: Administer and enforce state tax laws and provide taxpayer assistance in order to maximize and promptly collect
revenues to help fund state and local government programs.

Goal 1: Taxpayers and tax administrators will be provided with the training, assistance, and information needed to promote their understanding of the tax laws. - At least 95% of taxpayers surveyed who sought assistance at regional offices will agree or strongly agree that the experience was positive and that they received courteous and prompt customer service providing them with a better understanding of the tax laws. - The percentage of persons surveyed who attended taxpayer education workshops and seminars and reported the program was worth their time will be at least 90%. Goal 2: Tax payments and tax returns will be processed in a timely manner in order to collect the revenues used to fund state and local government programs. - Improve payment processing time by increasing electronic funds transfer payments in dollar volume and as a percentage of total collections. In FY 2000 EFT payments rose to almost $10 billion, or 56.7% of the $17.6 billion in gross collections. - At least 1 million individual income tax returns (or 27%) will be filed electronically in FY 2002 to reduce overall processing time.

Goal 3: Encourage compliance with the tax laws so that the tax responsibility is distributed uniformly and in accordance with the law by increasing the number of business and individual tax audits, and by conducting audits of property assessment. - Business tax audits will be increased by 5% in FY 2002. The increase in tax audits will serve as a proxy measure for the increase in taxpayer compliance. - Non-resident individual income taxpayer audits will be increased by 5% in FY 2002. The increase in tax audits will serve as a proxy measure for the increase in taxpayer compliance.

Strategies and Services

NEW STATE OFFICE OF CITIZENSHIP ASSISTANCE
Governor Barnes has included $100,000 in the FY 2002 Budget in initial funding for the Office of Citizenship. This office will assist persons who are not citizens of this country in obtaining their American citizenship.

provides administrative and investigative support to 35 licensing boards through a centralized location and staff. The boards regulate more than 700,000 licensees throughout the state. They play an integral role in consumer protection by regulating professionals and investigating violations of state law.
In FY 2000, the Professional Licensing Boards Division relocated to a facility in Macon. Within the next year, the Boards anticipate a move to being fully integrated into web and electronic commerce activities. These new capabilities are expected to demonstrate again the abilities of technology and management to improve efficiency and customer services.
Governor Barnes funded $2 million in the Amended FY 2001 Budget to complete design and to fully rehabilitate an existing building at the Macon facility to serve as a testing center. The FY 2002 budget includes $150,000 for 4 positions to receive applications for licensees and requests from citizens for services from the boards.

The State Soil and Water Conservation Commission
was established to ensure that Georgia's soil and water resources are protected. The commission's primary responsibilities include:
Overseeing the administration of the commission. Coordinating Georgia's 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
Providing educational programs on the conservation of state soil and water resources.
Developing and implementing conservation programs.
Reviewing and approving watershed projects under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.
Assisting and guiding districts and other entities with provisions of the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975.
Providing information on the prevention of agricultural non-point pollution.
In FY 1999, the commission conducted 52 erosion and sediment control workshops, and was successful in preventing the erosion of over 1.1 million tons of soil
through its conservation programs. The commission reviewed 8,943 erosion control plans under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975. Overall, 706,785 acres of

506

STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

Georgia's total area consists of roughly 36.7 million acres of land and 1 million acres of water. The programs and services provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission help protect Georgia's landscape and ensure that it remains a valuable resource to its inhabitants. Increased urban and rural development, coupled with environmental concerns, necessitates the state's efforts to conserve its natural resources.
Developing and implementing conservation practices are the basis for most of the commission's programs and services. Commission technicians provide assistance to landowners and local governments, review erosion control plans, and protect soil by using resource management systems.
RESOURCE SPECIALIST PROGRAM The Resource Specialist program was begun in FY
1997 to replace the County Conservation Grant program, which had been established in 1987 to help federal farm aid recipients meet the requirements of the 1985 Food Security Act. When the County Conservation Grant program successfully met its original goals in 1995, the commission envisioned the Resource Specialist program as a more cost-effective way to provide statewide technical assistance.
In FY 1997 and FY 1998, 3 resource specialist positions were funded to assist with conservation work in the commission's Rome, Statesboro, and Milledgeville regional offices. In FY 1999 and FY 2000, funds were provided to create the last 3 positions in the commission's Atlanta, Albany, and Athens regional offices. The 6 specialists now review erosion and sediment control plans, respond to erosion and sediment control complaints, assist with implementing waste management plans, and provide technical support to the commission's regional representatives.
WATERSHEDS The Soil and Water Conservation Districts are
sponsors on many of Georgia's Category I (failure may cause loss of life) Watershed Dams, constructed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Flood Retardation programs. County or city governments sometimes cosponsor these structures with the district. These dams may have been built in rural areas to the lesser requirements of Category II structures. However, rapidly expanding urbanization into these areas now requires that the structures be upgraded to meet Category I standards.
Since 1991, the Soil and Water Conservation Commission and U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service have been working with the districts, EPD Safe Dams personnel, and local units of government to bring

these Category I dams into compliance with the Safe Dams Act.
Estimates for maintenance and minor repairs range from $700 to $50,000 per dam. Of the 139 district sponsored structures identified as requiring maintenance upgrades, 26 are now complete, and an additional 83 are under contract with the appropriate local government entity. Once maintenance upgrades are complete, a dam is turned over to local governments to maintain.
The cost of major upgrades ranges from $300,000 to $1.5 million per dam. Most dams require detailed hydrologic evaluations, and some require extensive design for major structural upgrades. Two previous bond issues totaling $3.84 million have been dedicated to these structural upgrades. Of the 26 dams identified as needing major structural upgrades, construction has been completed on 2. The next 7 priority dams are in various pre-construction phases and will soon be ready to upgrade. The Amended FY 2001 Budget recommends $3,640,000 in general obligation bonds for major structural upgrades to these watershed structures. These funds, along with previous bond issues, will complete construction on an additional 5 watershed structures.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL Damage from urban erosion is difficult to assess.
While figures are not widely available, erosion from denuded construction sites on Georgia soils can exceed 200 tons of topsoil per acre per year.
In 1975, the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act was passed to control serious soil erosion from development sites. The act requires that all cities and counties adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances. Conservation districts review the erosion and sediment control plans submitted by these cities and counties. Together, the districts and agency staff reviewed 8,561 such plans in FY1998, 8,943 in FY1999 and in excess of 9,000 plans in FY 2000.
The commission is involved in other activities as well. The agency employs 1 program manager and a staff of 3 erosion and sediment control specialists who conduct training programs, assist counties with ordinance updates, and conduct seminars. An education coordinator position funded for FY 2001 will coordinate the growing demand for the agency's education efforts. The Handbook for Erosion and Sediment Control produced by the agency is an accepted reference standard for erosion and sedimentation implementation in Georgia.
The Commission's long-range goal is to reduce erosion on urban and rural lands as much as possible to a point equal or less than the rate at which new soil is formed, which is about 5 tons per acre per year.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia Student Finance Commission was created to help improve the higher education opportunities of the citizens of this state by administering the programs of the Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation and the Georgia Student Finance Authority through a centralized staffing arrangement.
COMMISSION OPERATIONS The commission serves as the executive branch agency
designated to receive appropriations of funds for the student financial aid programs of the corporation and the authority. Those programs funded through the commission include the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, other educational scholarship and grant programs supported by both lottery proceeds and state general fund appropriations, and the Governor's Scholarship Program for the Department of Education.
GEORGIA HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE CORPORATION
The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit public corporation of the state and is responsible for administering a program of guaranteed educational loans to eligible students and parents in accordance with state law and the requirements of the Federal Higher Education Loan Act. In FY 2000, the corporation guaranteed over 69,775 new loans for eligible students and parents. The value of those loans exceeded $238 million. Purchases of defaulted loans totaled over $29 million. Approximately $21 million was recovered from loans that were purchased and placed in the default collection process.
GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE AUTHORITY The Georgia Student Finance Authority, a nonprofit
public corporation of the state, is responsible for providing

student financial aid to eligible Georgians through loan, scholarship and grant assistance programs as prescribed by the General Assembly. In FY 2000, the authority disbursed over $33 million in state general funds and agency revenues for over 31,000 students and over $214,500,000 in HOPE Scholarship and other lottery funded grant and scholarship programs for over 141,000 students.
The authority is also authorized to be a lender under the Georgia Higher Education Loan Program. In FY 2000, over $52 million in student loans were originated by the authority and the total value of loans serviced exceeded $335 million.
The authority has the responsibility of performing all management, supervisory, clerical and administrative functions required by the corporation and the commission. The authority also provides administrative and operational support services, at no state cost, to the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (NPEC), which is attached for administrative purposes.
ATTACHED AGENCY The Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education
Commission is responsible for regulating private postsecondary schools operating in this state in order to protect the financial investments of Georgians participating in their programs.
AUTHORITY O.C.G.A. 20-3-230 et.seq., 20-3-250 et.seq., 20-3-260
et.seq. and 20-3-310 et.seq.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION Strategies and Services

The continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the degree to which educational opportunities are provided to all citizens. It is in the public interest to sustain our public and private postsecondary institutions because of their value in promoting the economic and cultural development and prosperity of Georgians.
The Georgia educational loan program was created to both expand educational opportunities available to all Georgians and to ensure the continued economic viability of our postsecondary institutions. In addition to administering the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), Georgia also provides state funds to support service-cancelable loans and a variety of scholarship and grant programs.
FEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOAN PROGRAM The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation
administers federally guaranteed education loan programs. Through these programs, participating commercial lenders, as well as the Georgia Student Finance Authority, make educational loans to students and the parents of students who need financial assistance to continue their education after high school.
For these loans, the corporation serves as the "guarantor" to the lenders. If for any reason the borrower does not repay the lending institution, the corporation pays the lender an amount prescribed by federal regulation and assumes the obligation for collecting the remaining debt. Since these programs are federally supported, the federal government will reimburse the corporation for most of the defaults, which are purchased from lenders.
The federally guaranteed loan programs include the Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, and the Federal Plus Loan.
Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The loan amount depends on the student's financial need, the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. The federal government pays the interest that accrues while the student is in school, during the grace period and any deferment periods. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school.
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A nonneed based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The borrower is responsible for all interest, which accrues from the date the money is disbursed. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school.
Federal "Plus" Loan Program-- Provides loans to parents of dependent undergraduate or graduate students to

help pay for postsecondary education costs. The loan amount depends on the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. Repayment of the loan plus interest must begin within 60 days of receiving the funds.
STATE EDUCATIONAL LOAN PROGRAM The Georgia Student Finance Authority is the legal
entity, which actually serves as the lender (or limited purpose "bank") for about one-third of the student loans in Georgia. The authority provides loans to help students and parents meet the costs of higher education. As a FFELP lender, the authority makes loans to students and parents that are repayable in regular monthly installments and offers service cancellation benefits in Georgia on eligible Federal Stafford loans. Service cancelable loans help students preparing for professions in which there is a critical manpower shortage in Georgia. Eligible borrowers may cancel their loans by working in the approved fields in Georgia.
State funds appropriated to the commission as "Guaranteed Educational Loans" are paid to the authority to support this program. The authority expects to make 1,148 loans in FY 2002 with the $4,897,607 recommended. An additional 76 nursing loans are provided for at $228,152.
GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
State, federal and other funds are appropriated to the commission in several unique object classes to support the grant and scholarship programs of the authority. These programs are as follows:
Tuition Equalization Grant--A state-funded grant program providing an annual grant to each eligible Georgia student attending an approved private college. The amount of the grants increased from $1,000 to $1,050 in FY 2001. The recommendation of $28,968,840 will provide awards to approximately 26,823 students.
Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grant (LEPD)-Provides educational grants of up to $2,000 per academic year to the dependent children of a Georgia law enforcement officer, fireman or prison guard who has been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. In FY 2002, $70,300 in state funds will provide approximately 37 grants.
North Georgia College ROTC Grant--Provides a state scholarship of $1,500 per year to each full-time Georgia student enrolled in military ROTC training at North Georgia College. Approximately 304 students will receive these grants in FY 2002 with the $376,460 recommended.
Osteopathic Medical Loan--Provides service-cancelable loans to Georgians accepted for enrollment at an eligible college or university of osteopathic medicine. The loans are bas ed on need with a maximum of $10,000 per year for up to 4 years. A recipient may cancel the loan by practicing primary

Also, Governor Barnes recommended that sophomores in the HOPE scholarship program whose average drops below a "B" average will be eligible to regain HOPE for their senior year if their

cumulative grade point average (GPA) rises to a "B" average or better at the end of their junior year. In addition, seniors who have not previously qualified for HOPE but who attain a cumulative "B" average at the end of their junior year may receive HOPE for their senior year. This change in policy will encourage junior level students to achieve academically in order to enter or re-enter HOPE as seniors.
Another recommendation by the Governor was to change the required GPA for the Promise Teacher Scholarship program to 3.2. The program provides up to $6,000 in cancelable loans to high achieving juniors who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. As a result, the number of eligible students in FY 2001 doubled. The $1,792,000 FY 2002 recommendation will assist about 600 students.
The A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 created the Promise II Scholarship program to assist paraprofessionals and instructional aides who worked in a public school during the 1999-2000 school year. Awards up to $3,000 may be applied to a maximum of 30 semester hours in a teacher education program. Recipients must teach in a public school for at least one year.
The FY 2002 recommendation of $760,000 for Engineer Scholarships includes an increase from $3,000 to $3,500. The number of students is expected to be 220.

REGULATION OF NONPUBLIC POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
The Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission regulates certain proprietary schools and postsecondary education institutions operating in the state, including public and private schools outside the state, which offer Georgians degree or certificate programs by mail, telecommunications or other means. The commission's regulatory activities include establishing standards relating to the quality of instructional programs offered, ethical and business practices, health and safety, and fiscal responsibility.
The commission's staff conducts audits and reviews of the institutions it regulates and licenses the schools and their programs for the protection of Georgia students and their parents.
The commission is responsible for establishing and maintaining a Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund with participation fees collected from postsecondary education institutions. The Trust Fund is intended to protect students from financial loss when a school closes without reimbursing students and without completing its educational obligations to its students. The commission is required to take possession of the administration and student records of any regulated institution, which ceases to operate.

TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Teacher's Retirement System (TRS) is a vehicle for collecting employee and employer contributions, investing accumulated funds, and disbursing retirement benefits to members and beneficiaries. As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet future obligations. In addition, an independent accounting firm audits the system annually.
Administration of the system is ultimately the responsibility of the TRS Board of Trustees, while daily management of system operations is the responsibility of the Executive Director. The Executive Director is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members. The board consists of 10 members as follows:
State Auditor, ex officio; Director, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex officio; Two classroom teachers (both active members of TRS) appointed by the Governor; One school administrator (an active member of TRS) appointed by the Governor; One Board of Regents employee (an active member of TRS) appointed by the Board of Regents; One trustee appointed by the Governor who mu st be an active member of TRS; One trustee appointed by the Governor; One retired member of TRS elected by the trustees; One citizen (not a TRS member) experienced in the investment of moneys elected by the trustees. The members who are not ex officio memb ers serve 3year terms. Board members convene bimonthly to review investment performance, retirement statistics, the system budget, and various other issues.
MEMBERSHIP All individuals employed one-half time or more in
covered positions of the state's public school systems, regional libraries, county libraries, and regional educational service agencies are required to be TRS members as a condition of employment. Similarly, employees in covered positions of the University System of Georgia are required to be TRS members unless eligible for participation in an optional retirement plan administered by the University System's Board of Regents.
Covered positions include teachers, administrators, supervisors, clerks, teacher aides, secretaries, public school nurses, paraprofessionals, and employees of the Agricultural Extension Service. Also eligible for TRS membership are certain employees of the State Department

of Education and the Department of Technical and Adult Education, along with public school lunchroom, maintenance, warehouse, and transportation managers and supervisors.
Public school personnel who are ineligible for TRS membership include maintenance and custodial employees, school bus drivers, and cafeteria workers. Temporary or emergency employees are also ineligible for membership. In addition, certain teachers who are at least age 60 at the time they become employed in a covered position may decline TRS membership.
INVESTMENTS TRS has its own "in-house" Investment Services
Division, which handles day-to-day investment transactions. Securities lending and portfolio officers, securities and investment analysts, and investment assistants are all part of the TRS investment team that manages over $50 billion in pension funds. Six members of the TRS Board of Trustees along with the Executive Director comprise the Investment Committee. Committee members convene with the directors of the Investment Services Division and hear recommendations from outside investment advisors at monthly meetings. Investment recommendations made by the committee require approval by the entire board.
FLOOR FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Any teacher who has retired from a local retirement
system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) shall receive a minimum allowance upon retirement of not less than $17.00 per month for each year of creditable service, not to exceed 40 years of service. These funds are appropriated to TRS annually. As of November 2000, there were 121 retirees receiving floor funds to achieve this minimum allowance.
COLA FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Any teacher who retired prior to July 1, 1978 from a
local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) shall receive a post-retirement cost of living adjustment (COLA) to their monthly benefit whenever such adjustment is granted to teachers who retire under the TRS. These funds are appropriated to TRS annually. As of November 2000, there were 363 retirees receiving COLA funds.
AUTHORITY Title 47, Chapter 3 of the Official Code of Georgia

TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Results-Based Budgeting

Purpose: To provide all personnel in covered positions of the state's public school systems, vocational-technical schools, regional education services, and all colleges and universities of the University System of Georgia and their families a primary source of income relative to their service and compensation in the event of their retirement, death, or disability.

Goal: Ensure adequate financing for future benefits due and other obligations of the retirement system by investing prudently the retirement system assets, using a conservative long-term philosophy. - The retirement system's Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) will liquidate between 15 and 25 years.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Quality Basic Education Act of 1985 created a separate State Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education within the Department of Education to promote the economic growth and development of Georgia by providing leadership, direction, and state-level management of public postsecondary technical schools, programs, and services. The new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education in 1987 to provide guidance to public technical institutes operated by the state or by local boards of education. The board was renamed the State Board of Technical and Adult Education in 1988 to govern the newly created Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE). With the Savannah Tech and Atlanta Tech conversions to state ownership in FY 1998, the board now oversees 32 state-governed technical institutes (many of which have satellite campuses). In addition, there are 4 technical education divisions housed within 4 of the University System colleges and 1 locally governed public technical institute.
House Bill 1187 (the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000), which went into effect on July 1, 2000, approved institutions governed by the Board of Technical and Adult Education to change their names to technical "college." This change more accurately reflects the quality and levels of services provided by these institutions throughout the state of Georgia.
The Department of Technical and Adult Education plans and administers state postsecondary technical training at less than the baccalaureate degree level in a unified system of technical institutes/colleges. It provides opportunities for students to learn a skill or upgrade an existing skill to keep pace with technology and competition in a world market. Students can pursue lifelong education and training, basic skills and technician training for existing employment opportunities, as well as customized training responsive to the needs of business and industry for a technically trained and highly competitive workforce. Students attending technical institutes/colleges have the option of short-term programs as well as courses of study leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. These programs can range in duration from a few weeks to 2 years. The department is divided into 4 functional units described below.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The administrative services function fulfills overall

administrative roles for the Central Office and the 33 technical institutes/colleges. These activities include budgeting, accounting, purchasing, asset management, personnel, information technology, public information, facilities management, legal services, planning, and evaluation.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION The Office of Technical Education provides leadership,
technical assistance, and coordination to the 33 technical institutes/colleges and 4 college technical divisions. Focus areas include instructional support services, special services, student support services, workforce development initiatives, and performance accountability. This office is also responsible for joint planning and coordination with other public agencies and organizations to provide Georgia citizens with a seamless education system assuring smooth transitions from secondary to postsecondary education, to work and beyond.
QUICK START Quick Start provides employee training services to new
and expanding industries at no cost. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's business recruitment and retention efforts by serving as a state training incentive. Supported by DTAE's network of technical institutes/colleges, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in virtually every technology required by Georgia's manufacturing and service sectors.
ADULT LITERACY The Office of Adult Literacy, through its network of 37
service delivery areas throughout the state, promotes and provides adult basic education and literacy programs, including the General Educational Development Testing program that awards GED diplomas. The office is the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education adult literacy funds. It is also the largest adult literacy provider for other state agencies and facilitates collaboration among state and local entities to improve literacy efforts for adults needing basic, English literacy, or specialized skills instruction.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

TECHNICAL EDUCATION Georgia's technical colleges are continuing to
experience steady enrollment growth, with a full time equivalent enrollment of 50,950 in FY 2000, an increase of 7.8%. The Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) provides a unified system of technical education, customized business and industry training and adult education with programs that use the best available technology and offer easy access to lifelong education and training for all adult Georgians and corporate citizens. This system is part of a seamless education process for Georgia in which students can transfer credits efficiently as they advance from secondary schools to technical colleges and institutes to the university system.
FORMULA FUNDING When Governor Barnes took office, he made a
commitment to DTAE that adult technical education would be funded based on an enrollment-driven formula, like the other two major education agencies. The Governor's A+ Education Reform of 2000 resulted in a preliminary formula implemented with the FY 2001 budget.
The initial formula is an appropriation formula, as opposed to an allocation formula. This means that discretion for fund allocation remains with the board. The formula consists of a personal services component, an operating component, and a major repairs component. The formula should be considered only a first step toward a permanent formula for adult technical education.

The personal services component of the formula is based on 5 weighted program clusters: general education/ development, industrial/science tech, business, health, and public service. Each cluster generates a different dollar amount per credit hour. The formula generates funding using credit hours 2 years before the current fiscal year. So, FY 2000 credit hours generate FY 2002 funding levels. Based on these figures, the Governor recommends an increase of $11,102,580 for state technical institutes/colleges' personal services.
The operating component is based on $4.52 per square foot of operating space. This includes 125,426 square feet of leased space and 240,724 square feet of FY 2002 new space. The Governor recommends $1,095,339 in additional formula funding for operating expenses in FY 2002.
The major repairs and rehabilitation component is patterned on Regents' Major Repairs and Rehabilitation Fund. The formula is based on 1% of DTAE's total square footage, times a replacement cost ($96.64 per square foot), which produces an annual investment in maintenance and upkeep of the physical plant. This formula generates an additional $232,636 for the department in FY 2002. This fund is to cover projects under $1 million in magnitude.
Finally, the Governor recommends $12,500,000 in bonds for the replacement of obsolete equipment. These funds should meet all of the department's needs for nonconstruction related instructional equipment.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

Further refinements of the formula should lead to greater sophistication. However, revisions depend upon the department collecting data in ways that support more detail. Specifically, future formula revisions are likely to take into account administrative versus instructional costs (which are now treated as equal), average costs versus (decreasing) marginal costs, cost variability for distance learning, performance, and a number of other issues. Because of these issues, parts of the formula will likely be in flux over the next few years. However, increasing credit enrollment should continue to yield additional funds for the department. This should ensure a steady stream of trained workers for the state.
NEW CONSTRUCTION Governor Barnes recognizes the need for new facilities
to support the growing enrollment at the technical institutes and colleges. The Governor recommends $53,745,000 million in bonds in the FY 2001 amended budget for 10 new construction projects. The majority of these projects were funded for predesign in FY 2000.
In addition to new construction, the Governor also recommends $780,000 in bonds for predesign planning grants for future construction. A completed predesign study on future DTAE construction projects will allow for better planning and cost estimates for the entire project. Finally, the Governor recommends an additional $9,805,000 in bonds for DTAE projects to deal with property acquisitions and renovations and improvements.

$14,580,000 in bonds is recommended for equipment for new construction.
THE QUICK START PROGRAM
One of the most exciting and valuable resources within the technical education system is the Georgia Quick Start program. Quick Start epitomizes Georgia's economic growth and workforce development by functioning as an incentive to new business and industry as well as promoting the expansion of existing businesses. Quick Start helps industries start up and expand their operations in Georgia by creating customized training programs.
Georgia's Quick Start program is nationally recognized for providing high-quality training services at no cost to new or expanding businesses in Georgia. Since 1967, Quick Start has provided customized training for over 325,000 employees for more than 3,100 businesses and industries throughout the state. It has been singled out by Fortune, as well as Training and Site Selection magazines for its effectiveness in providing the most comprehensive and advanced training in the nation.
In FY 2001, the Governor recommends $2,580,582 in additional funds for the Quick Start program which are required due to the number of current and anticipated projects. This amount should completely fund the Quick Start Program for FY 2001. The Governor recommends that this amount be added to the Quick Start program budget in FY 2002, in order to more accurately fund the Quick Start Program.

TECHNICAL COLLEGES On July 1, 2000, the Governor's A+ Education reform
Act of 2000 went into effect. A part of the bill approved institutions governed by the Board of Technical and Adult Education to change their names to technical "college." This change more accurately reflects the quality and levels of services provided by the institutions throughout the state of Georgia.
Eligibility for each institution is based on accreditation status. To become a technical college, each technical institute must have associate-degree-granting status from either the Commission on Colleges (COC) of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) or the Council of Occupational Education (COE).
Of the 33 technical institutes throughout the state, 18 were eligible to change their name on July 1, 2000. The remaining institutions that do not hold SACS or COE Accreditation are currently involved in the accreditation

process. As these schools become associate-degreegranting institutions, they will petition the State Board of Technical and Adult Education for a name change. This process should be complete within the next year.
The mission of each technical college will continue to center on contributing to the economic, educational, and community development of Georgia by providing quality technical education, continuing education, customized business and industry training, and adult literacy education.
Most of the new college names are quite similar to the former institute titles. However, a few of the new college names are a substantial change. A table is provided below to serve as a reference for the new college titles of the former technical institutes. Although several institutes are still undergoing name changes, the schools are referred to by their new college names throughout this budget report.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Transportation plans, constructs, maintains and improves the state's roads and bridges; provides planning and financial support for other modes of transportation such as mass transit and airports; provides airport and air safety planning; and provides air travel to state departments. The department also provides administrative support to the State Tollway Authority, the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority, and the Georgia Southwest Railroad Excursion Authority.
The department is governed by a board comprised of representatives from each of the state's congressional districts. The state representatives and senators from each congressional district elect that district's board member. The board in turn appoints a commissioner to lead the department.
The great majority of the department's resources are directed toward maintaining and improving the state's network of roads and bridges. Proceeds from the state's motor fuel taxes are constitutionally earmarked solely for use on Georgia's roads and bridges. Non-road and bridge construction projects are supported by a combination of state general funds, federal funds and local funds.
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS The department's organization chart is based on
specific processes or responsibilities such as personnel, planning, engineering and construction. However, the department's budget is divided into functions that may include the activities of several organizational divisions. These functions are discussed below.
PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION - Plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the state highway system. As part of this overall responsibility, personnel provide a long-range state multi-modal transportation plan and long-range plans for urban areas; maintain an approved construction work program of priority projects; perform location and environmental studies; conduct mapping and photogrammetric surveys; acquire rights-of-way necessary to construct and maintain highways; supervise all construction and maintenance activities let to contract; ensure the quality of materials used in construction; and conduct research to improve planning and engineering methods.
MAINTENANCE AND BETTERMENTS - Responsible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges of the state highway system. The goal of this function is to preserve the existing road network and improve its safety by programming and supervising major reconstruction and resurfacing or rehabilitation projects let to contract; performing certain heavy and specialized maintenance such as emergency repairs; making spot improvements and

safety modification; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement failures, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining warning and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; operating and maintaining state visitor information centers; issuing permits for special vehicles such as oversized and overweight carriers; and enforcing Georgia's special vehicle regulations.
ADMINISTRATION - Provides executive management, personnel management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions for the department.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT - Used as a separate budget function for new and replacement equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's various operations.
INTERMODAL TRANSFER FACILITIES - Provides funding and administration of public transportation programs, i.e. buses and vans, provided under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964; provides funding and administration of light density rail rehabilitation and for the construction and signage of statewide Park and Ride lots; provides departmental financial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance and other services as needed; maintains and updates the state airport system plan; publishes and distributes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and provides management assistance and technical expertise to local governments to develop, maintain and improve scheduled air service.
AIR TRANSPORTATION - Operates aircraft for use by state officials in conducting state business and also performs various aerial photography services for the department in the course of construction or road and bridge improvement.
HARBOR MAINTENANCE - Concerned with the department's role with assisting Chatham County, designated as the local assurer, in fulfilling its responsibility for the provision and maintenance of lands, dikes and control works necessary for present and future storage of dredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and these dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the local assurer.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Strategies and Services

The Department of Transportation's focus has been on building and maintaining the state's network of roads and bridges. The vast majority of its funds, both state and federal, are dedicated to this purpose. As a result, Georgia is recognized nationally as having a superior highway system due primarily to the department's efforts and emphasis on roads and maintenance. The high quality of Georgia's transportation system has been essential to the economic success and growth of the state. But the department faces great challenges in developing appropriate strategies for future transportation needs and related transportation issues affecting the metro Atlanta region.
The ability to build new highway infrastructure and capacity in the core of metropolitan areas is diminishing rapidly and air quality in non-attainment areas is a growing problem. To meet these challenges, the department is placing a greater emphasis on a more balanced transportation system that advances public transit, passenger rail and other mo des of travel.
With the passage of reauthorized federal transportation legislation in FY 1998, the department received major increases in federal transportation dollars for everything from roads to rail projects. The federal authorization continues to provide the department with flexible funds to develop strategies for addressing the metro Atlanta region's air quality and sprawl problems. Federal funds, when combined with motor fuel appropriated funds, also enable the department to continue fulfilling its traditional responsibility to building and maintaining the state's network of roads.
FEDERAL HIGHWAY FUNDING In September of 1998, Congress passed the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century called TEA-21. The federal funds authorized for Georgia include over $5.5 billion for core transportation construction and maintenance programs and over $70 million for special designated rail projects for the 6-year period covering fiscal years 1998-2003. As stipulated in TEA-21, 18% of the total authorization for Georgia is being allocated for FY 2001 and another 19% will be allocated for FY 2002. For FY 2002, this equates to a level of over $890 million.
MASS TRANSIT / PASSENGER RAIL New initiatives for mass transit and rail projects
include a recommendation of $6,647,920 in state general funds in the Amended FY 2001 Budget to match over $60 million in federal Mass Transit Grant funds for buses and bus-related facilities. These funds will allow the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) to purchase approximately 70 natural gas-powered buses. Additionally, Gwinnett County will be able to continue the start-up of its bus system by establishing bus and

maintenance facilities. The FY 2002 budget recommends a transit operations manager for the InterModal Transfer Facilities division within the department. This position will provide training and supervision for the transportation coordinators, oversee the departments FTA application process and monitor the program for compliance with the state and federal guidelines.
The Amended FY 2001 Budget recommends a total funding of $3,900,000 in bonds to advance the development of the Atlanta Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal by providing right of way and beginning site preparation for a phased implementation of the facility. These funds will be matched with federal funds of $15.6 million. The facility represents a major investment in the hub for public transportation services to serve residents all over Georgia. The terminal will have the ability to provide regional bus and intercity bus service, commuter rail and intercity passenger rail service to the growing Metro Atlanta area. The terminal will also be designed to provide a direct connection to the MARTA Five Points Station and pedestrian linkages to emphasize a full integrated inter-modal approach for maximum passenger convenience and cost effectiveness.
The Governor also recommends in FY 2002 $1,350,000 to continue contract planning, engineering and program management functions related to the initiation of passenger rail service. These funds are complemented by an additional $1,350,000 that has been recommended in the Amended FY 2001 Budget for the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA). The total funding of $2.7 million will be managed by the department, GRTA and the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority through the inter-agency Program Management Team to bring the dream of passenger rail service into reality.
Additional recommendations reflect and recognize the importance of freight rail to the state and its economy. The Amended FY 2001 Budget recommends $5,150,000 million in bonds to acquire strategic rail line segments between Ellijay and Tate, at Wylie Street in Atlanta and at the West End in Atlanta. Funding is also provided for a planner for the freight rail and the rail acquisition program.
Improved mass transit, commuter rail and inter-city passenger rail, offer a long-term strategy for addressing metro Atlanta's air quality and traffic problems. Mass transit can have a significant impact on air quality and traffic problems, keeping metro Atlanta an attractive place for business locations and ensuring its continued strength as a business center into the next millenium.
Another way which the department is combating smog is their participation in the Georgia Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). The program is critical for meeting the national air quality standards required by the Federal Clear Air Act. Projects are planned and implemented through a

550

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services

public/private partnership of organizations funded in part by the Federal CMAQ program. Federal CMAQ funds are authorized for the six years covered by TEA -21, FY 1998-FY 2003, and are available to air quality nonattainment areas only. The Georgia Department of Transportation has made efforts to coordinate plans across the region by meeting with other public and private organizations who have put together a framework agreement committing to specific actions, and coordinating resources and programs.
The purpose of this program is to reduce congestion and improve air quality in the current non-attainment area through changes in behavior, especially drivers of single occupancy vehicles. It is also laying the groundwork for coordinated partnerships in other areas of Georgia faced with the possibility of similar problems as growth continues. Plans for coordination in areas such as Macon, Augusta, and Columbus are underway. Also, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and other stakeholders are participating with the department in the development of a procedures manual to guide the Georgia CMAQ program for FY 2002 and beyond.
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION/ HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE
With its traditional responsibility for road maintenance and construction, the department has spent well over $5.7 billion to construct, reconstruct and widen more than 8,300 lane-miles of road over the past decade. In FY 2001, approximately $1.1 billon worth of construction contracts is budgeted for 3,500 miles of state roads at an average expenditure of $314,000 per mile of road improvement. In addition, FY 2001 has seen 125 bridges let to contract, over 1,440 miles of state highway resurfaced or resealed, and 450 miles of state highway shoulders paved or widened.
Improved highway facilities are necessary to encourage continued economic growth. One of the department's economic development related programs is the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). This ambitious program is intended to add four-lane highways to every section of the state and would place 98% of the state within 20 miles of a four-lane road. As envisioned, this developmental highway system, when complete, will add 2,697 miles of four-lane highways across the state.
The state has appropriated over $1 billion for GRIP over the last nine years. As of October 2000, 1,531 miles of all GRIP corridors have been completed or are under construction.
The Governor recommends that, of the motor fuel funds appropriated to the department, $31 million be designated as debt service payments. These funds are to authorize the guarantee of revenue obligations by the State Tollway Authority.

AIRPORT AID The state airport system is defined in terms of its
capacity and capability to serve the needs of the general aviation industry. The degree of success of Georgia's public airports is a direct function of the capability of the airports to meet existing and future aviation mobility needs. If the needs are well served, regional and local economies will have a broader window of opportunity to be strengthened and revitalized. By virtue of the benefits from activities associated with the use of aviation and aviation-related services, more areas of Georgia will have a competitive advantage in attracting industry and stimulating long-term economic development in communities that might not otherwise have had opportunities for growth.
The department's Airport Aid program provides state funding assistance for capital improvements and for the maintenance of operational and safety requirements at Georgia's 103 publicly -owned airports. Projects include construction of new or extended runways, taxiways, aircraft parking aprons, and new lighting systems. The program also addresses critical airport needs such as pavement maintenance, obstruction removal, and visual and electronic navigational approach aids. State general funds are used to match federal and local funding for projects which enhance local development and improve the state's transportation infrastructure.
A January 1999 pavement management study of 94 general aviation airports identified a funding need of $20 million. The Governor is recommending $1 million in the Amended FY 2001 Budget for pavement maintenance at publicly- owned airports.
HARBOR MAINTENANCE Providing a safe passage for international shipping
lines using Georgia's ports is an ever-increasing effort by the department. The world's shipping lines continue to increase the size of their ships, requiring ports to provide increasingly deeper channels to accommodate the larger vessels. Dredged material from the Savannah River channel is removed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and deposited in diked areas. This is an ongoing process that requires the department to take care of dike construction and harbor maintenance.
Understanding the importance of Georgia ports to the state's economy, the Governor is recommending $2,250,000 in bonds in the Amended FY 2001 Budget for needed harbor maintenance projects and one coordinator for responsibility of the Brunswick Harbor as maintenance begins to work with the Army Corps of Engineers, and coordinate use of the dredged material disposal areas with the Corps and dock operators.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Veterans Service serves more than 685,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries in all matters pertaining to veterans' affairs. Since all veterans' benefits mu st be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of informing veterans and their families about all available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled.
VETERANS EDUCATION ASSISTANCE As the state approving agency for the federally
sponsored Veterans Education Assistance Program, the department is responsible for approving and supervising all institutions (including public and private schools and establishments offering on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs) in Georgia which participate in this program. In addition to approving these institutions, the Department of Veterans Service also inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are met. This function is 100 percent federally funded and employs seven staff.

The Department is required by law to:
Generally promote and protect the rights of Georgia veterans under all state and federal laws.
Furnish information to all veterans of all wars as to their rights and benefits under federal and state laws and local ordinances.
Assist all veterans and their dependents and beneficiaries in the preparation and processing of claims with the appropriate federal agencies.
Report to the appropriate federal or state agency any instances of incompetence, dishonesty or neglect of duty by any employee or agency dealing with veterans' affairs.
Maintain complete copies of all records on veterans filing claims for benefits through the department.
Advise the Board, the Governor, and the General Assembly in regard to veterans legislation and policies.

INSTITUTIONS FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Service operates two
institutions that offer health care services to eligible veterans. Located next to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, the 475-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres of land. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (i.e. building limited to simp le lodging). A separate unit dedicated to Alzheimer's disease care is currently under construction and is expected to open in Spring 2001. There are 375 skilled care beds and 100 beds in the domiciliary unit. Upon completion, an additional 21 beds will be available for Alzheimer's care. The facility is staffed and operated through a contract with a private vendor.
A second facility is maintained in Augusta. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is staffed by 209 employees and operated through a contract with the Medical College of Georgia and the University System of Georgia. At this 192-bed facility, physicians and medical students provide a complex range of services and nursing care to sick and disabled veterans.
GOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Department of Veterans Service is governed by the
seven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, with confirmation by the Senate. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of the Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year term.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE
Strategies and Services

The Department of Veterans Service regularly prepares and distributes news releases, radio programs, and technical bulletins on veterans' benefits, changes in laws, and proper procedures for filing claims. In addition, the Commissioner, department staff and field office managers make personal appearances before veterans' organizations throughout the state to explain veteran rights and benefits and the assistance available from the department.
VETERANS ASSISTANCE In addition to the central office in Atlanta, the
department maintains a claims processing staff at the regional office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Atlanta and 46 field offices or satellite branches across the state. At these locations, agency personnel assist and advise veterans and their families in several ways. Assistance is given in initiating, filing and processing of claims. When necessary, the department will represent veterans before claims or appellate boards.
Veterans are also assisted in securing social security and related benefits. Additionally, assistance is provided in securing burial benefits, in arranging for the burial of eligible veterans in national cemeteries and in securing flags and grave markers. In FY 2000, the department processed 648,959 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 660,000 in FY 2001.
GEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME MILLEDGEVILLE In FY 2001, this privatized facility will provide an
estimated 161,000 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation (skilled nursing care). Since the facility was privatized in FY 1997, residents of the home have reported significant improvements in the quality of care received. In 1998 the facility received the American Health Care Association Quality Award for quality improvement.

As the veteran population has aged the acuity level (or level of care) of the skilled nursing patients has also increased significantly. In FY 1989, approximately 40 % of the skilled patients at this facility required total care. Today, approximately 69 % require this intensive level of care.
In addition to the skilled nursing component, the Pete Wheeler Domiciliary provides living accommodations and minimal medical care to veterans who are able to maintain some level of independence in carrying out their daily living. A patient exercise program has been implemented throughout the home to increase physical activity with an anticipated reduction in patient falls and injuries.
GEORGIA VETERANS NURSING HOME AUGUSTA In FY 2001, this facility will provide an estimated 65,700
days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation. In addition, the facility provides educational experience to students of the various schools comprising the Medical College of Georgia. Through this association, the nursing home is allowed access to technology and expertise not readily available to other skilled nursing facilities. These resources have enabled the home to become a leader in long-term care training and research.
GEORGIA VETERANS MEMORIAL CEMETERY Funded in FY 2000, the Georgia Veterans Memorial
Cemetery in Milledgeville will be the first state government operated veterans cemetery in the state. Located on 142 acres in Baldwin State Forest with 17 acres developed to accommodate 1,000 burial sites, the cemetery will also include a six-acre storm retention lake, a main entrance, a ceremonial area and a hearse parking area. The cemetery is scheduled to open in June 2001.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Roles and Responsibilities

WORKERS' COMPENSATION LAW Most Georgia employees are covered by the state's
workers' compensation law. Before this law was passed, employees might not gain benefits from employers when they were injured on the job. The law now ensures employees certain benefits paid to them as a result of on the job injuries. The same law also then provides employers with a form of limited liability from these injuries.
The state's workers' compensation law applies to all employers that have at least three full-time, part-time, or seasonal employees. Some categories of workers are exempt, however, including: federal employees, railroad workers, farmers, domestic servants, business partners, independent contractors, and some corporate officers.
The state created the State Board of Workers' Compensation to oversee the workers' compensation law. It may create rules, regulations, and policies to enforce this area of law. The Board is also vested with the responsibility of conducting training seminars that educate emp loyers, employees, insurers, self-insurers, physicians, and rehabilitation suppliers about workers' compensation law changes and other related issues.
If either the employer or an employee involved in a workers' compensation claim wishes to contest the facts involved in the case, an administrative law judge under the Board or a Board mediator may be used to settle the issue. Either party disagreeing with this ruling may appeal the decision through the appellate division, state superior or appellate courts, but that avenue may only be used to debate points of law, not facts of a case.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The board consists of three directors, one of which is
a chair, all appointed by the Governor. Each serves for a term of four years. The board acts in a quasi-judicial manner, as well as in an administrative and regulatory fashion.
Underneath the board is the legal division. This division reviews requests for hearings and conducts them in disputed cases. The division's screening and administration section processes claims sent to the board.

If a claim does not need a full hearing, the alternative dispute resolution section may handle it. If the case is not eligible for this, then it would head to the trial section.
The claims processing division maintains the filing system used by the board. The administrative services division performs accounting and personnel functions for the central and regional offices. The fraud/compliance division investigates worker's compensation fraud and issues of non-compliance.
Other divisions under the board include: managed care and rehabilitation; licensure and quality assurance; and insurance issues.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Strategies and Services

After its establishment in 1920 by the Georgia General Assembly, the responsibility of the State Board of Workers' Compensation has grown to overseeing workers' compensation matters for 187,000 employers and almost four million employees.
Funded by assessments from insurance companies and self-insured employers, the board ensures that employees injured on the job who are eligible for replacement of a portion of lost wages, medical payments, or vocational rehabilitation service, receives them, while at the same time providing a limited liability coverage for employers.
Several new strategies have been implemented by the state over the past decade in order to improve the services delivered by the board.
MANAGED CARE If employers choose to, they may pick a managed
care organization as the deliverer of medical service to their injured workers. The organization they choose must be certified by the board, which has the statutory authority to issue certification.
In order to be certified, a managed health care plan will include: financial incentives to reduce service costs and utilization without sacrificing the quality of service; adequate methods of peer review; service utilization review to prevent inappropriate or excess treatments; and efforts to promote services that contribute to workplace health and safety.
There are 21 certified managed care organizations covering over 145,000 employees. Nearly every county in the state has a certified managed care organization.

.

Board surveys show that 80% of doctors, employers, insurers, and employees who participated in certified managed care organizations have a positive view of the system.
Doctors value the increased communication provided by the managed care organization. Employees are pleased with the care when they are allowed to choose their authorized physician from the network. Finally, employers like the easier access due to the proactive education process.
The division overseeing medical care and rehabilitation is conducting seminars showing employers and employees the benefits of introducing managed care into their workers' compensation services.

ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION Sometimes a disputed workers' compensation claim
does not need to have a full evidentiary hearing. During the mid-1990's, the board realized that these cases could be handled through a less costly mediation process.
The staff for this division handles over 500 cases a month, which previously may have gone to a full hearing.
Certain issues are addressed better in a mediation venue. These include: change of physician; approval of income benefits to an employee; provision of emergency medical treatment; resolution of medical and attorney fee disputes; along with other issues.
With an average time of only 41 days for a claim to be processed under this method, this section has shown cost savings to the employers and employees of Georgia.

FRAUD AND COMPLIANCE

This section was created and staffed in 1995 with a

goal of educating and assisting parties involved in

workers' compensation so benefits allowable under law

are successfully received. To do this, the division

conducts compliance checks while investigating and

prosecuting fraud throughout the state.

The compliance section has officers located

throughout the state.

Each officer conducts

approximately 15 randomly generated, or in some

instances complaint-based, checks a day.

Since it's inception, the section has found over 4,500

businesses not carrying the required workers'

compensation coverage. These employers now carry the

proper insurance for an additional 23,500 employees. At

least 15 of these employers have been criminally

prosecuted.

The fraud section has been granted law enforcement

powers by the General Assembly and has issued 240

arrest warrants for workers' compensation fraud.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Results Based Budgeting

WORKERS' COMPENSATION SERVICES Purpose: To fairly administer the law for workers injured on the job by ensuring no-fault and indemnity payments and by

protecting employers from tort lawsuits.

Goal 1: Ensure access to medical care for all workers

FY 2000 FY 2000 FY 2001 FY 2002

injured on the job so that those workers can return to work. - At least 84% of workers injured on the job will return to work
within one year of their injuries during FY 2002. [1] - The number of workdays lost by each employee with a work

related injury in FY 2002 will be reduced to the FY 1999

60 days

62 days

average of 60 workdays.

GOAL 2: Control the growth of workers' compensation

costs by developing reasonable fee schedules and specialized

managed care programs.

- The FY 2002 cost of medical care for injured workers will increase 20% or less over the FY 2001 costs for medical only claims.

GOAL 3: Payments of entitled benefits to injured workers

by employers and insurers will be correct and timely. - The percent of injured workers receiving their first weekly

payment on the twenty-first day after their injury will remain at >85%

the FY 1999 rate of 85%.

GOAL 4: Ensure prompt due process to any party in a

workers' compensation claim case by providing a judicial

forum to address legal complaints with a trial level decision

and by evaluating settlement agreements. - At least 2,513 cases will be settled without the need for a formal hearing in FY 2002. - Trial decisions for 75% of workers' compensation cases in FY

Notes:

1-Based on actual data collected, the FY 2001 desired result is too high. Although the number of total claims has decreased

by 1,500, the number workers returning to work within one year of their injury is remaining constant and is governed

largely by the type of injury and the ability of the employers to make jobs available.

FY 2003 DEPARTMENT BUDGET ESTIMATES
The budget process used for Fiscal Year 2002 incorporates a multi-year estimating process required of state agencies. Agencies were required to estimate future costs of their Fiscal Year 2002 request. Estimating future cost of actions taken in any budget year should be an integral part of the budget decision making process. Agencies were asked to include Fiscal Year 2003 estimates of their budget requests and future operating costs associated with capital outlay projects. The table below is a summary of the agencies' Fiscal Year 2003 estimate of their Fiscal Year 2002 budget requests.

IMPACT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE FY 2002 RECOMMENDED BUDGET

The Capital Outlay Program consists of projects and activities to: acquire property; procure equipment; develop and construct new facilities and structures; renovate, enlarge, enhance, preserve, and improve existing facilities and structures; and conduct major repairs to ensure capital assets achieve their service life. Funding is considered in the Capital Outlay Program for projects that are primarily facility related, non-recurring on an annual basis, and it is deemed desirable to request and recommend funding separate from the operating budget for ongoing agency expenses. For example, annual motor vehicle replacements and other routine equipment needs are usually funded as part of an agency's general operating budget.

The Capital Outlay Program impacts the state's operating budget through a mix of debt service payments for bondfunded projects and "pay-as-you-go" financing using lottery, tobacco settlement, and cash revenues. Also, as completed capital projects become operational, there may be associated additional operating expenses. The following table summarizes the impact of the Capital Outlay Program on the FY 2002 Recommended Budget.

In summary, $946.3 million of the FY 2002 Governor's Recommended Budget directly supports the Capital Outlay Program, representing 6.1% of the total. Details of funding expenses of major capital projects becoming operational are contained in the Department Budget Summaries and Budget Highlights sections.

Also, as the major capital projects recommended in the FY 2002 and Amended FY 2001 budgets are completed, there will be additional operating expenses in future years. The total future additional operational impact of these recommended capital projects is estimated at $35 million on an annual basis.

The state has developed and maintains a sound debt management plan, overseen by a Debt Management Advisory Committee, for the effective and prudent use of debt in addressing Georgia's growing capital needs. In recognition of the state's sound fiscal policies, moderate debt levels well within constitutional and statutory controls, conservative revenue estimates, a diverse and strong economy, and responsive leadership, the state currently enjoys triple-A ratings from Moody's, Fitch, and Standard & Poor's.

FINANCING CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS - ISSUANCE OF DEBT

In November of 1972, the voters of the State of Georgia approved a comprehensive amendment to the Constitution of 1945 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 1523, et seq.), which permitted the state to finance its needs directly through the issuance of general obligation debt. Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the state's capital outlay needs were met through the issuance of bonds by 10 separate state authorities and secured by lease rental agreements between the authorities and various state departments and agencies. The provisions of the amendment were implemented by the General Assembly in 1973 with the enactment of the act, and the constitutionality of the new system of state financing was favorably adjudicated by the Supreme Court of Georgia in a decision rendered on July 16, 1974, in Sears v. State of Georgia, 232 Ga. 547 (1974). In November of 1982, the voters of the State of Georgia ratified a new state constitution which became effective July 1, 1983, and such new constitution continues the amendment in full force and effect.
Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission
The commission is an agency and instrumentality of the state and its members are the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and the Commissioner of Agriculture.
The commission is responsible for the issuance of all public debt of the state, including general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. The commission is further responsible for the proper application of the proceeds of such debt to the purposes for which it is incurred.
The commission has two statutory divisions, a Financing and Investment Division and a Construction Division, each administered by a director who reports directly to the commission.
The Financing and Investment Division performs all services relating to the issuance of public debt, the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from the incurring of general obligation debt or such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, the management of other state debt, and all financial advisory matters pertaining thereto.
The Construction Division is responsible for all construction and construction-related matters resulting from the issuance of public debt or from any such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, except that in the case of bond proceeds for public road and bridge construction or reconstruction, the

commission contracts with the Department of Transportation or the Georgia Highway Authority for the supervision of and contracting for designing, planning, building, rebuilding, constructing, improving, operating, owning, maintaining, leasing, and managing of public roads and bridges for which general obligation debt has been authorized and in all other cases when the commission shall contract with a state department, authority, or agency for the acquisition or construction of projects under the policies, standards, and operating procedures established by the commission. The Construction Division is also responsible for performing such construction-related services for state agencies and instrumentalities as may be assigned to the commission by executive order of the Governor.
Purpose of Bonds
The Constitution of the State of Georgia [see Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph I] provides that the state may incur public debt of two types for public purposes: 1) general obligation debt and 2) guaranteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state, its agencies, departments, institutions, and certain state authorities, to provide educational facilities for county and independent school systems, to provide public library facilities for county and independent school systems, counties, municipalities, and boards of trustees of public libraries or boards of trustees of public library systems, to make loans to counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, local authorities, and other local government entities for water or sewerage facilities or systems, and to make loans to local government entities for regional or multijurisdictional solid waste recycling or solid waste facilities or systems. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of certain revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the state to finance certain specified public projects.
Constitutional Debt Limitations
The Constitution [see Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph II] provides that:
No debt may be incurred at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state, exceed 10% of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury

security of, loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million.

No debt may be incurred at any time when the term of the debt is in excess of 25 years.
No guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to finance water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water facilities or systems or sewerage facilities or systems exceed 1% of the total revenue receipts less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any debt is to be incurred.
The aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million, and the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to purchase, or to lend or deposit against the

The Constitution [see Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph I(b)] also provides that the state may incur public debt to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury in any fiscal year created by a delay in collecting the taxes of that year. Such debt shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred. The debt incurred shall be repaid on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred out of taxes levied for that fiscal year. No such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under the provisions of this subparagraph if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incurred to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury. [No such debt has been incurred under this provision since its inception.]

BASIS OF BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING

BUDGETING
The annual budget of the State of Georgia is prepared on the modified accrual basis utilizing encumbrance accounting with the following exceptions: federal and certain other revenues are accrued based on the unexecuted portion of long-term contracts; and intrafund transactions are disclosed as revenues and expenditures.
The budget represents departmental appropriations recommended by the Governor and adopted by the General Assembly prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted at the department level.
All unencumbered annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end unless otherwise specified by constitutional or statutory provisions. Supplementary and amended appropriations may be enacted during the next legislative session by the same process used for original appropriations.
Encumbrances are used to indicate the intent to purchase goods or services. Liabilities and expenditures are recorded upon issuance of completed purchase orders. Goods or services need not have been received for liabilities and expenditures to be recorded.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The State of Georgia uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Funds presented in this report are follows:
Budget Fund - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Appropriations Act.
General Fund (Statutory Basis) - The fund used to account for the collection of specific revenues of the State of

Georgia as provided by statute or administrative action; and transfers to the various state organizations for operational costs in the fiscal year. This is not a General Fund as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. No appropriations of expenditures are made to the General Fund (Statutory Basis).
Debt Service Fund (Statutory Basis) - The fund used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general obligation bond debt principal, interest and related costs. The unretired principal balance of general obligation bond issues is also reported in this fund, as is an "amount to be provided" (from future appropriations) for retirement of bond principal. This is not a Debt Service Fund as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.
All funds included in this report are reported in conformity with statutory requirements.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The State of Georgia maintains its Budget Fund and its Debt Service Fund in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Further, the modified accrual basis of accounting calls for expenditures to be recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Contractual obligations for services that have not yet been performed and for goods that have not been delivered at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in accordance with Constitutional provisions and State budgetary policy.
The General Fund (Statutory Basis) is maintained substantially on the cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting, with the exception of the accrual of amounts due to the various state organizations for operational costs of the fiscal year.

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

An understanding of the budget process in Georgia will help readers to use more easily the contents of the FY 2002 Budget Report. The following information is presented for this purpose.
Annual state appropriations, as approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor, are the authority for the expenditure of all state funds. Budgets are established for each agency based on appropriations, and state laws prescribe strict conditions that govern all expenditures.
THE SOURCES OF FUNDING
Budgets are based on the availability of state general funds, state dedicated funds (such as motor fuel taxes, state lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund), reserves and surpluses, funds collected and retained for expenditure by agencies, federal funds, and a few smaller categories. Broadly, funds are identified in the Budget Report and in general use as state funds and total funds. The term "funds" as generally used in this budget report, unless otherwise noted, refers to revenues available or received by the state. [The state's specific governmental accounting fund classifications are noted in the state Comprehensive Annual Financial Report prepared by the Department of Audits and Accounts.]
STATE FUNDS--(1) The taxes and fees collected by the state and deposited directly into the state treasury to be appropriated; (2) Reserves; (3) Surplus funds; (4) Lottery receipts; (5) Indigent Care Trust Funds; (6) Motor Fuel tax funds; and (7) Tobacco Settlement funds, all of which form the basis for the Governor's revenue estimate.
TOTAL FUNDS--All funds available for appropriation, including (1) State funds as described above; (2) Federal funds; and (3) Other funds from a number of sources, mostly fees and charges assessed and retained by agencies.
STATE FUNDS
State funds generally comprise over half of the total appropriations in the budget. The state fund total is most frequently used in news reports and is the total that most often generates public debate and deliberations by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The level of federal and other funding is often driven by the level of state fund appropriations.
Taxes represent the largest portion of state revenue sources, about 90%. The two largest tax sources are the income tax and the sales tax. Other revenue sources include fees and sales, lottery funds, and Indigent Care Trust Funds.

FEDERAL AND OTHER FUNDS
Federal funds flow directly to state agencies from the many federal programs that provide grants to state and local governments. While most federal funds for local governments go directly to the recipient cities and counties, some grant funds are distributed to local governments through the state budget.
Other funds include a broad category of revenues that are collected by agencies and retained for expenditure without going through the state treasury. They are expressly approved by an appropriations act or can be amended into an agency's budget with approval of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB).
Funds that are collected by agencies and turned over to the state treasury by law become state general funds and are available for appropriation by the General Assembly for any purpose.
Funds retained by state agencies for direct expenditure include college tuition fees, state park revenues, and a host of other fees and collections for various services rendered.
REVENUE ESTIMATE
Georgia's State Constitution requires that the General Assembly approve a budget that balances expenditures with anticipated fund availability. Therefore, each year's budget cannot exceed the total of revenues expected to be collected and any surplus or reserve funds that are available for expenditure.
The Governor, who is the Budget Director, is responsible for establishing the official revenue estimate. He is assisted in this responsibility by a state economist under contract as a consultant with OPB, which serves as the budget staff for the Governor.
The basis for making revenue projections is a computerized econometric mo del. From this model, a range of estimates is provided to the Governor by his economic advisor. In December, just prior to finalizing his budget recommendations to the General Assembly, the Governor adopts a final revenue estimate--an action that, when added to surplus and reserve funds, determines the size of the forthcoming appropriations bill.
SURPLUS FUNDS
Surplus funds come from two sources: (1) Excess revenue collections over the revenue estimate; and (2) Unspent appropriations that were lapsed back to the state treasury and may be available for re-appropriation.

654

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

Lapses occur in two ways: (1) Appropriation amounts that OPB never allotted to agencies for expenditure, an action that automatically puts the funds back into the treasury; and (2) Appropriations that were allotted for expenditure but were unspent at the end of the year. These funds are lapsed back into the treasury by the State Auditor following the annual audits of each agency.
RESERVES
Two reserves are established by the state on June 30, the end of the state's fiscal year, if funds are available--the Midyear Adjustment Reserve and the Revenue Shortfall Reserve.
The Midyear Adjustment Reserve is established by the State Auditor on June 30 each year and represents 1% of net revenue collections for that fiscal year, to the extent surplus funds are available up to that total. The Reserve is set aside to be appropriated in an amended budget at the next session of the General Assembly. The Reserve is considered to be the primary fund source for the State Board of Education's "Midterm Adjustment." This adjustment is appropriated in the upcoming amended budget each year to provide the state's share of the increased cost of new students enrolled in the fall.
The Revenue Shortfall Reserve is also established on June 30 after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve has been filled. It is equal to 3% of the fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available. The Revenue Shortfall Reserve is the state's "rainy day" fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues during the upcoming fiscal year. Effective June 30, 2000 the Governor is authorized, at his discretion, to allocate no more than 1% additional surplus to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve, for a maximum of 4%.
Occasionally, other reserves can be available for appropriation. For instance, the Motor Fuel Reserve represents funds earmarked for expenditure by the Department of Transportation in years when motor fuel tax collections exceed the original budgeted estimate for motor fuel collections in the preceding fiscal year. All motor fuel tax collections are constitutionally allocated to the Department of Transportation whether appropriated or not, but are routinely included in the state's amended budgets.
HOW BUDGETS ARE APPROVED
The budget process for any given year, from the first planning stages to post-auditing, involves a series of actions spread over about two and one-half years.
Three kinds of budgets can be approved in Georgia - -an original budget, an amended budget, and a supplementary budget. An original budget is just what is says - - the first

budget passed for a fiscal year. Generally, this budget remains in effect until the General Assembly convenes in January, at which time the budget is generally changed by adding appropriations, decreasing appropriations, or shifting expenditures between object classes.
An amended budget is one in which any type of change can be made - additions, deletions, or transfers. A supplementary budget is one which includes only new spending. Generally, a supplementary bill is passed early in the session to provide appropriations needed before a more extensive amended bill can be passed.
All of these budgets, at the end of the session, become one operating budget for the state, with no distinction made for the various appropriations acts that are passed.
The General Assembly can meet at any time in special session and amend the budget in effect. These occasions are rare, having occurred only twice in recent decades. Both were triggered by economic recessions in Georgia that required major budget cuts to avoid spending more money than was available for expenditure.
State law requires all state agencies to submit a request for appropriations for the next fiscal year to OPB no later than September 1 of each year. Most agencies start preliminary work on these requests in the spring for a fiscal year that is 14 to 15 months in the future. At the same time, agencies may request amendments for changes in the current fiscal year's budget.
In early September, the Governor begins a four-month period in which he studies the budget requests of each department and develops his recommendations to the General Assembly. During this interim, he meets with department heads and consults with OPB staff in finalizing his proposals.
BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Governor normally appears before a joint meeting of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the first week in January to announce his recommendations for amending the current year's budget. The next year's budget recommendations are announced by the Governor during his annual Budget Message, which is delivered to a joint legislative session during the first week of the annual session. The Legislature convenes on the second Monday in January.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION
By law, an appropriations bill is introduced in the House of Representatives and first goes to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration before being voted on by the entire House. The bill follows a similar

655

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

path through the Senate. The House and Senate versions usually differ. While still working within the total revenue estimate established by the Governor, a conference committee is then appointed to reach a compromise on the two versions. The conference committee's version must be totally accepted or rejected by each house. A rejection results in appointment of a new conference committee.
The process is the same for amended and outyear appropriations bills. The only difference is the General Assembly generally takes actions on amended and supplementary bills before taking up the budget for the following year. That is done because changes in the current year's budget often impact the following year's budget.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE BUDGET
Once an Appropriations Act has been signed into law, OPB, on behalf of the Governor, is responsible for ensuring that all state expenditures conform to the legislative mandate. State agencies are responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed spending authorizations by total appropriations or by object class. This is accomplished through approval by OPB of an annual operating budget, quarterly allotments and expenditure reports.

agency and operation, including all colleges and universities, authorities and school districts.
OBJECT CLASS APPROPRIATIONS
All funds are appropriated through common and unique object classes. There are more than a dozen common object classes such as personal services, regular operating expenses, capital outlay, travel and real estate rentals. Unique object classes, of which there are almost a hundred in the State Board of Education alone, usually relate only to a specific agency.
The Appropriations Act in recent years has provided some flexibility for state agencies by authorizing some transfers between common object classes. The limits are: no common object class spending can exceed 102 percent of appropriations for that class, and total spending on all common object classes cannot exceed the total funds authorized.
Further transfers between these object classes are possible with permission of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the General Assembly, as recommended by the Governor.

After the fiscal year ends, the State Auditor is responsible for auditing all expenditures of every state

ALLOTMENT--The authorization for a state agency to withdraw funds from the state treasury for expenditure.

The Amended Budget Report can involve budget additions, budget deletions or transfers of funds within agency object classes. Also known as the "supplemental budget" or the "little budget."
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET (AOB)--A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriations Act, by agency and functional budget. The plan details a level of expenditure by object class for a given fiscal year and must be approved by OPB before taking effect.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENT-Revisions to the annual operating budget, which must be submitted to OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of funds from one activity/function to another.
APPROPRIATION--An authorization by the General Assembly to a state agency to spend, from public funds, a

sum of money not in excess of the sum specified for the purposes in the authorization.
APPROPRIATIONS ACT--Legislation that has been passed by the General Assembly to authorize expenditure of state, federal and other funds during a given fiscal year. While under consideration, it is called an appropriations bill.
ATTACHED AGENCIES--Smaller agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for "administrative purposes only" to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. These small agencies operate autonomously but receive funding through the larger agency. Authorities by law cannot directly receive state funds and are attached to budgeted state agencies for any state appropriations that might occur.
ATTRITION--A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than filling them with new employees.

BUDGET--A complete financial plan for a specific fiscal year as proposed in the Governor's Budget Report and as modified and adopted by appropriations and revenue acts.
BUDGET ACCOUNTABILITY AND PLANNING ACT--An Act passed by the 1993 General Assembly that fundamentally changed Georgia's budget process. The Act made accountability and efficiency the driving forces behind budget decisions, as well as the attainment of agreed-upon goals that have been outlined in comprehensive strategic plans for the state and each of its agencies. Through the implementation of Results-Based Budgeting, which is now underway, expenditures will be more closely linked to program achievements and results. The measure mandated an ongoing review of agency continuation budgets and a more detailed review of expenditures at the individual program level. Procedures and requirements for grant awards by state agencies also were established.
