TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
It is my pleasure to present this FY 2003 Budget Recommendation for the continued improvement of services to the citizens of our state. This budget reflects the commitment to many of the initiatives implemented in the first three years of this administration. However, this budget also reflects a cautious investment in important services and infrastructure while recommending certain budget reductions that are necessary due to the nationwide economic slowdown.
Georgia has not been immune from the downward economic trend. However, our prudently conservative revenue projections in past years and the somewhat better economic condition here in Georgia when compared to our neighboring states have softened the fiscal impact for this budget. While my recommendations reflect our continuing commitment to comprehensive education reform as well as other important statewide initiatives such as protecting our most vulnerable children, creating an aggressive cancer initiative, implementing a state level response to terrorism and improving driver's licensing processes, we must make difficult budget adjustments without hindering services to the citizens of Georgia.
As a normal precaution and in light of present economic conditions, I have established a conservative revenue estimate of $14,534,000,000 for FY 2003.
First, to fulfill my promise to reduce taxes, I am including $329 million for property tax relief for the citizens of Georgia. An additional $24 million is included to cover statewide exemptions for city property taxes.
Second, education reform must continue to be at the forefront of our investments for Georgia's future. This budget proposes to continue the initiatives created in the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 and HB 656 that was passed by the General Assembly last year. This budget recommendation includes $195 million to provide funds for QBE formula grants based on an enrollment growth of 1.75 percent. To support the implementation of our accountability system for K-12 education, I am recommending $8.5 million to continue the development of Criterion Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) and another $4.6 million to develop end-ofcourse tests for eight core subjects in high school that will measure high school student achievement and eventually replace the Georgia High School Graduation Test. Also, I am adding $12.8 million to continue funding for school improvement teams presently working in 163 local schools that need and requested assistance. I am also including $24.8 million to provide funds for equalization grants with local systems limited to 55 percent of the gain or loss from the prior year.

A key component of education reform is quality teaching in every classroom in Georgia. To support teachers in this task and to retain quality teachers while attracting new ones, I am recommending a 3.5 percent salary increase effective September 1, 2002. This increase will keep Georgia as the leader in the southeast and at the national average at a time when most other states are unable to increase teacher salaries. To support my goal of 1,000 nationally board certified teachers for Georgia, I am recommending $1.8 million to fund a 10 percent salary supplement based on teacher's annual salary for our existing 426 National Board Certified teachers. This policy is a departure from the past when the 10 percent salary supplement was fixed at 10 percent of the teacher's salary in the year after initial certification was obtained.
The health and well being of our citizens must always carry the highest priority. To continue our support of the Georgia Cancer Coalition, I am recommending a total of $31 million in tobacco funds to fund a variety of cancer programs, including $2 million to cover treatment expenses for uninsured cancer patients and another $1.5 million for eminent cancer clinicians and scientists.
We must also target state services to the children and families of the state who are most in need. I am recommending $4.4 million to add 100 child protective services caseworkers and supervisors. I am also recommending $3.3 million to provide an array of support services for children and families in need of child protective services. I am including $20.4 million for increases in enrollment and utilization of PeachCare for Kids benefits. And there is $235.6 million recommended to cover growth and utilization in Medicaid Benefits.
While our economy is slowing, it is important to utilize every source of funds available to ensure economic development. I am recommending $65.4 million in tobacco settlement proceeds for the OneGeorgia Authority to continue grant and loan programs targeted at Georgia's most needy counties.
All Georgians deserve safe and secure communities, and this budget increases prison programs and facilities. I am including operating and startup funds of $3.7 million for additional diversion and transition center beds as well as $4.8 million to fund subsidies for local county beds coming online. I am also recommending over one- half million dollars for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to add 8 additional positions to open the Augusta and Savannah Medical Examiners offices.
To assist in our commitment to election reform, I am recommending $3.4 million for the Secretary of State to add 13 positions and associated costs for voter education.
We have great challenges before us. Even in these economically uncertain times, we are still in a financial condition to support these critical investments that will foster the improvement of services to our citizens. As always, I am looking forward to working with you during this legislative session as we craft the future of Georgia.
Sincerely,
[signed]
Roy E. Barnes

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

Implementing Education Reform

In 1999, when Governor Barnes took office he promised to make education his number one priority. In delivering on that promise the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission (GERSC) was identified and began its work conducting an overall assessment of the state of affairs in Georgia's public schools comparing the reality of our state's public schools with research-proven strategies of effective schooling. Equipped with some of Georgia's brightest and most respected professionals, GERSC I (1999) and GERSC II (2000) presented Governor Barnes with recommendations and alternatives to current practice. The Georgia General Assembly passed two pieces of Governor Barnes' education reform legislation into law: HB 1187 and HB 656.
As 2003 approaches and our nation and state experience an economic slowdown, Governor Barnes recognizes that it is important, now more than ever, to sustain the momentum of education reform as we move forward with the implementation of HB 1187 and HB 656. Accordingly, at this critical juncture funds must be directed in a strategic and targeted to effort to maximize the impact of state dollars toward improving student achievement. Appropriately, the Governor's efforts in FY 2003 focus on several key elements of the state's education reform: accountability, teacher quality, teacher supply, K-12 construction and ensuring seamless educational policy and programming.
OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY The 2002 2003 school year will be the first
benchmarking period for Georgia's public school. The Office of Educational Accountability (OEA) will issue its first "accountable" report card for schools in the fall of FY 2005. The grades issued will be based on school performance on tests only during the 2002 2003 school year. Among the indicators that will be reported but not graded are school completion and student attendance. Georgia's school accountability system comes complete with financial rewards for those schools that exceed state standards and assistance for schools that are below state standards.
A significant shift in state policy, OEA's work ensures that public schools are not allowed to continually fail our students. Each year, schools will receive disaggregated data on academic performance. In this way, they will have the information necessary to drive their school resources in the areas where they are most needed. Schools that remain below standard for two years can have sanctions on them placed by the State Board of Education. Additionally, OEA will analyze data on differences in student achievement by

sub-group and the achievement gap that exists between disaggregated student groups, including socioeconomic and racial groups. As part of an effort to explore this complex state and national issue, in the fall of 2001 Governor Barnes named a "Closing the Gap Commission" that will be responsible for identifying the nature of the achievement gap in Georgia and providing recommendations for addressing it.
TESTING A centerpiece to Georgia's accountability plan is
determining what our children know and can do as measured in part by their performance on standardized tests. In order to ensure that our children are equipped to compete on a national level, Georgia now administers national norm referenced tests in addition to criterion referenced tests.
The Stanford 9 norm referenced test, first administered to Georgia students in grades 3, 5, and 8 in spring 2001, replaced the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS). Results of the Stanford 9 compare the performance of Georgia's students with their national counterparts. Overall, Georgia's 3rd, 5th and 8th graders ranked in the 46th, 50th and 47th percentiles, respectively, when compared to their national counterparts.
The Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) measures students' level of achievement on the Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). The results of the CRCT are provided in a detailed disaggregated report that includes information on students' strengths and weaknesses by subject. As a result of HB1187 all students in grades 1 8 are required to take the reading, English/language arts, and mathematics portions of the CRCT effective spring 2002. This requirement ensures that regular and consistent information is collected on student achievement and that those students needing additional instruction receive it in the area in which it is most needed.
Appropriately, Governor Barnes recommends $4,385,810 in the FY 2002 Amended budget to expand the CRCT in science and social studies for grades 3 through 8, and expand the English/language arts, math and reading portion for grades 1- 8th. These funds will also be used to pilot a web-enabled CRCT. This pilot will help Georgia identify and address the various issues related to web-based testing. This method has the added advantage of immediate scoring and may serve as an ideal method for re-taking the exam for those students who failed the CRCT during the first sitting. Governor Barnes also recommends $6,226,000

for additional CRCT tests development and continuance of the web-enabled pilot in FY 2003.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TEAMS As the rollout to school report cards and accountability
draws near the Governor has made a focused effort to assist our neediest schools, providing $11,000,000 in FY 2002 to high priority schools for school improvement teams as part of a targeted assistance strategy. This strategy provides those high priority schools that desire state assistance with the necessary resources and support to impact student achievement, immediately, and 163 schools requested to participate employing the America's Choice school reform model.
The America's Choice model combines the key variables that research has proven are critical to effective schools: 1) a rigorous curriculum and high standards for all students; 2) collaboration among staff in working toward clear goals; 3) high quality staff development that also ties directly to the school's goals; 4) instructional leadership; and 5) meaningful and sustained parental involvement. The model intends to engage the entire school community in the efforts towards reform.
A technical assistance infrastructure comprised of 32 Team Leaders, 8 Regional Managers, and 25 Business Advisors provides on-going training and monitoring. In the FY 2002 Amended Budget, Governor Barnes recommended an additional $9,055,969 to continue school improvement for the first group. These 163 schools are receiving intensive training and support that will help them direct all of their school's resources in a comprehensive manner toward improving student achievement. Ultimately, these schools will have the tools to sustain the reform.
The America's Choice model is being adapted to align specifically with Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum and the tenets of HB 1187. In FY 2003 and beyond all schools that opt to participate in this initiative will receive training in the Georgia's Choice School Reform Program. Accordingly, from their inception in the program these schools will be required to use their many sources of staff development funds, particularly federal Title I funds, as the first step in a comprehensive strategy to re-direct their schools resources into an integrated program of school improvement. The state will continue to provide the technical assistance infrastructure and training. In FY 2003 Governor Barnes recommends $12,752,803 to continue full funding for the 163 schools participating in their second year of the state funded America's Choice reform and the technical assistance infrastructure that will provide additional training and support to a new group of schools participating in Georgia's Choice.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT Georgia's efforts to ensure that all children achieve at
high levels are driven by a multi-faceted approach that includes improving teacher quality and developing effective school leadership. While staff development is a critical component of achieving both of these goals, teachers and school leaders require different skills and support from staff development. Appropriately, Governor Barnes has developed two strategies to ensure that staff development is aligned with the distinct needs of teachers and school leaders.
Teachers face a new and dynamic challenge to educate a diverse group of learners and ensure that all are able to successfully meet our state's high stakes standards. While teachers are eager to rise to the challenge of high standards they must receive professional development that is well integrated into the larger organizational goals of their schools and systems.
On the other hand, school leaders must be able to lead in a dynamic environment to craft their schools' mission working closely with parents and faculty. Improving student achievement must drive that mission. Ultimately, the leadership must be able to identify the unique needs of the student body and develop a school-wide strategy that encompasses what happens both inside and outside of the classroom. Fundamentally, today's school leaders must also be instructional leaders. Accordingly, they require staff development that helps them to develop and hone the skills necessary to ensure the success of everyone in their school, students and teachers alike.
Appropriately, in the FY 2002 Amended Budget Governor Barnes recommends $250,000 for a statewide evaluation of staff development. This evaluation will identify the various types of staff development currently provided and determine their respective impact on student achievement. The findings of the evaluation will be used to set new standards that tie teachers' staff development directly with the larger mission of their schools and also ties re-certification requirements for all educators with staff development that improves student achievement.
Specific to developing effective school leadership, in FY 2002 the Governor provided $150,000 to the Professional Standards Commission for the development of a statewide Leadership Institute for educational leaders. Since that time, a Coordinating Board for Georgia's Action Plan in Educational Leadership has been identified, and funding from the Gates Foundation for $2,970,000 over 3 years for the development of the Institute has been secured along with an additional $5,137,489 from other private sources. The first class is expected to receive train ing in March 2002 The Governor is also recommending that the Leadership Academy, currently operating at GDOE, be folded into the new Leadership Institute. Funds have been

provided to allow the three groups currently receiving training to complete their respective programs. In the FY 2002 Amended and the FY 2003 budgets, Governor Barnes recommends funds to match the Gates Foundation grant in the amounts of $499,000 and $1,039,348, respectively.
NATIONAL BOARD The National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS) provides a clearly articulated set of standards for what teachers should know and be able to do in their respective fields. Its credential, National Board Certification (NBC), is hailed as the most rigorous and respected credential of the profession. Teachers, administrators, and elected officials alike suggest that the application process alone improves classroom performance. The NBC process emphasizes those components that research has consistently identified as central to improving teacher quality: reflective practice, collaboration with peers, and performance-based assessment.
Acknowledging NBC as a corollary to improved teacher quality and a prestigious signature of professional accomplishment, Governor Barnes initiated a sustained commitment to recognizing and increasing Georgia's pool of National Board Certified teachers. Governor Barnes minimized the practical and financial barriers to applying for NBC by providing technical assistance for Georgia's NBC candidates via the Georgia Teacher Center housed at Kennesaw State University (FY 2001), and providing a $1,000 stipend for all teachers who successfully pass the PSC screening process (FY 2002) to help offset the $2,300 application fee. Candidates that do not pass the screening process are provided technical assistance via a precandidacy institute to ensure that they are ready to enter next year's application process. Governor Barnes also worked closely with the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education (GPEE) and PSC to raise additional private funds that assist these teachers in paying a portion of the remaining $1,300.
Governor Barnes provided the support and issued the challenge that by 2004 Georgia would have 1,000 NBC teachers. Georgia's teachers have responded in-kind indicating that they are equipped to rise to the challenge. In November of 2001, with the announcement of the most recent set of teachers to achieve National Board Certification, Georgia scored high marks increasing its pass rate from 41% to almost 50% and tripling its pool of NBC teachers from 116 to 426. With a total of 310 new NBC teachers, Georgia had the seventh highest number of successful candidates of all the states in the 2001 certification results.
In FY 2003, Governor Barnes recommends $1,838,490 to provide a 10% salary supplement for 426 teachers based on their annual salary. This 10% salary supplement is a policy shift that increases the financial

incentive for teachers who achieve National Board Certification. In 1999, Governor Barnes increased the state salary supplement from 5% to 10%. Since 1994, it has been the state's policy to provide a salary supplement the school year after the teacher achieved certification. In following years, that amount of the supplement would be held constant. Governor Barnes' new policy will effectively provide an additional 10% of a teacher's salary every year. As the salary increases over time, so will the supplement. The Governor is also recommending an additional $234,000 to provide an application stipend for a new group of teachers to participate in the NBC application process.
ALTERNATIVE PREPARATION In FY 2002, Georgia implemented its first statewide
alternative teacher certification program joining the ranks of states like Texas, North Carolina, California and New Jersey that have successfully utilized alternative certification programs as one element in a larger strategy toward reducing the teacher shortage. Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program (TAPP) provides an alternative option of entry into teaching for professionals who already hold a baccalaureate degree. Individuals who participate in this intensive preparation program must begin with a concentrated four to six week summer session, then teach in a classroom for a two year period with careful guidance from a teacher-mentor and receive follow-up instructions from the TAPP training providers. Georgia TAPP combines research-proven elements of teacher preparation to ensure that its teacher-candidates increase the pool of qualified teachers and also remain in the profession.
In the spring of 2001 with the announcement of the program, Georgians demonstrated their overwhelming concern for our children and their education as more than 6000 individuals attended information sessions for TAPP around the state. While initial plans for the program anticipated identifying a pool of 200 qualified teachercandidates, PSC was inundated with inquiries about the program and received more than 1500 applicants. The final cohort consisted of a distinguished and diverse group of 753 candidates.
TAPP is an important component of Georgia's efforts to address teacher supply issues: 1) It provides a rigorous field-based preparation component; and 2) it supports candidates at the most critical phase of their professional teaching experience by providing a mentor during their first year in the classroom.
Governor Barnes has expressed a commitment to ensuring that TAPP delivers on its promise. $65,000 has been recommended in the FY 2002 Amended Budget to develop a candidate-tracking database and to initiate a program evaluation. In FY 2003, Governor Barnes recommends $1,000,000 for a new group of 750 teacher-

15

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

candidates and to continue an evaluation of TAPP and the impact of its candidates on student achievement. As part of an on-going strategy to address teacher retention Governor Barnes has provided second year funding of $333,000 to be matched by federal funds to ensure that new teachers graduating from three of our state's teacher preparation programs (University of Georgia, Valdosta State and Albany State University) receive intensive mentoring.
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES In anticipation of the significant impact that the class-
size reduction requirements of HB 1187 would have on K12 construction, GERSC's Facilities Subcommittee made several key recommendations: 1) Make more technical assistance available to local systems in planning, predesign, design and construction, 2) Adjust the state's cost per square foot for construction; and 3) Develop a protypical design school program.
In implementing these recommendations Governor Barnes asked the Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission (GSFIC) to be responsible for moving these efforts forward in a timely manner. In FY 2002, GSFIC retained a Program Management (PM) team to assist local school systems with all phases of HB 1187-related facilities development. This PM firm now provides every system with 40 hours of technical assistance annually. Systems are allowed to access the technical assistance in the areas in which they are most in need of additional direction. Additionally, the state's neediest systems receive top priority for PM services.
The State Board of Education has responded to Governor Barnes' recommendation to increase the state's reimbursement per square foot. In FY 2003 the new per square footage reimbursement rate will increase from $49 to $54 for new elementary schools, $51 to $56 for new middle schools, and $53 to $58 for new high schools. These

increases will bring the state's share in line with the average minimum cost of school construction in Georgia.
Finally, Governor Banes has instituted a prototypical school design program and library, which provides a 2% reduction in local systems match to state funds for schools that employ a prototype school model for school construction. A design is considered a prototype if it has been built two or more times in Georgia, has a similar layout and the gross square footage and number of classrooms do not vary by more than 10%. In total, from the FY 1999 Amended through the FY 2003 budget, Governor Barnes has put over $1,180,000,000 in bonds, lottery funds, and cash toward K-12 school construction which has helped build over 11,650 classrooms.
EDUCATION COORDINATING COUNCIL There is no variable in the education paradigm that
functions and is sustained in isolation. Education from pre kindergarten to college completion is a continuum. As toddlers receive or fail to receive the fundamentals of education during those critical years (ages 3 and 4 years) they bring those skills or deficits into the classroom when they enter kindergarten. If schools consistently produce varying results among students from different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds on standardized tests, then those disparities are exacerbated at the college level. Furthermore, we are likely to observe similar trends among our teachers in test performance.
This understanding is at the core of the Education Coordinating Council (ECC). Governor Barnes chairs the ECC which includes the CEO's and board chairs of all state education agencies from pre-school through college. Meeting quarterly, the ECC provides a forum for interagency communication of educational policy and program, insuring and promoting seamless education in the state of Georgia.

Children's Protective Services

The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in the Department of Human Resources (DHR) investigated over 54,000 allegations of child abuse and neglect in calendar year 2000. Of these allegations, 34,079 incidents were confirmed as cases of child abuse and neglect. In addition, over 15,644 children were in the custody of the department at the end of June 2001.
Major initiatives are now underway to reform child welfare in Georgia. DHR has developed a strategic plan to implement this reform known as SAFE FUTURES. This plan brings to the table many of the same public and private partners who were involved in the Governor's Child Protective Services Task Force, thus continuing and expanding on the work of the Task Force. The major initiatives addressed in SAFE FUTURES are: improved accountability for achieving positive outcomes for children and families; new community partnerships focused on prevention and early intervention in child abuse and neglect; responsive child protective services investigations; redesigned child welfare practice; a well-trained and stable workforce; a fully developed foster care continuum; expedited permanency for children in foster care; and an integrated information system to support reform.
Part of DHR's child welfare reform plan also involves addressing major program issues identified by the recent Federal Child and Family Services Review. Georgia was the eighth state in the country to participate in this review. Reviews have been completed in 17 states to date and major problems have been identified in all states. Among the problems identified in Georgia were the need for additional caseworkers and support services for children including mental health.
In continuing his commitment to creating a strong child protective system that safeguards Georgia's most vulnerable citizens, Governor Barnes has recommended funding for a second year of child welfare reform. The Governor's recommendations address both the SAFE FUTURES plan and the federal review findings.
RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF CPS CASEWORKERS
Funding is recommended for 90 new Child Protective Services (CPS) caseworkers and 10 new supervisors to help reduce the average caseload per worker. All CPS workers will have additional training opportunities as the Governor has recommended funding for curriculum development and review including the creation of a computerized training component.

PREVENTION The Governor supports services that prevent a child's
unnecessary removal from the home and services that ensure a child is in the safest and most appropriate environment when removed from the home. To that end the Governor recommends new funding to perform the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) test for all children in DFCS out-of-home placements. CAFAS aids caseworkers to more accurately and thoroughly assess a child's progress and well being in the out-of-home setting. The Governor has also recommended an array of support services, including intensive mental health services, counseling, and transitional services to help prevent removal from the home or the return of a child to an out-of home placement. Finally, to ensure the safety of children in out-of-home settings, the Governor recommends the addition of one regulatory services surveyor to monitor health and safety in out-of-home settings.
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:
Pilot sites in DeKalb and Fulton counties to expand private emergency foster care services
A 2.5% increase in funds for foster care placements 135 institutional foster care placements 41 MATCH program wrap-around placements for
severely emotional disturbed (SED) children A 5% increase in funds for adoption assistance Expansion of support services, including mental health,
counseling, and transitional services for children in family foster care settings
Additional funds to cover the increased costs for institutional foster care
FOSTER CARE/ADOPTION SUPPORT To support and promote the successful future of
Georgia's foster children, the Governor has recommended funding to expand the Foster Children Postsecondary Grant program. This program awards tuition grants and scholarships to children in foster care. There are currently 170 students assisted by this program. The Governor's recommendation supports an additional 40 students to achieve their academic goals at the state's technical schools and colleges.

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 build a legal case for prosecution of the person(s) responsible. To

make certain that fatality investigations are handled correctly, the Governor recommends adding funds to support the operation of the Office of Child Fatality
Review.

Drivers' License Services

HB 1441 was passed by the General Assembly during the 2000 Legislative Session and was signed into law by Governor Barnes. This bill created a new state agency, the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety (DMVS). One of the more significant functions of the DMVS is to issue drivers licenses to Georgia drivers. Over the last several years the process for issuing licenses has not kept pace with the demand, causing longer and longer lines for citizens to perform this necessary function. It is not uncommon for people to wait 6 hours or more at some licensing facilities in urban areas.
Recognizing this situation, Governor Barnes instructed the new DMVS to prioritize the problems of drivers' license issuance and present him with an aggressive plan of action. Included in the Amended FY 2002 and the FY 2003 Budgets are over $14 million in additional funds to implement the Governor's strategic initiative to increase efficiency and effectiveness and achieve a much more acceptable level of customer service.
The Governor's proposal focuses on the first principle of customer service: access. One of the most basic weaknesses in the current issuance system is that demand significantly overwhelms existing capacity. Over the past 5 years population growth has increased demand while system capacity has remained constant at best and in some instances has actually decreased. The Governor's strategic initiative proposes to achieve this objective in two ways.
Although customer service issues cross the entire state, the worst situation exists in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Population explosion in the core metro counties has completely overwhelmed the capacity of license issuance facilities to meet demand. This has led to the 6 plus hour waits that now exist in far too many instances. Customer experiences with this situation and constant media attention continue to inform citizens of this expectation. A natural reaction to this has been for people to flee the core metro area for facilities in outlying areas. These facilities are small to begin with and were never intended to handle the large numbers of citizens now seeking service. The result has been an ever-expanding area of long lines and intolerable customer service.
Thirty four percent (34%) of the DMVS customer base for drivers' license issuance lives in four counties: Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton and Gwinnett. The Governor's proposal includes $6,943,138 to locate a new full service customer service center for license issuance in each of these 4 counties. To respond more quickly, renovation of existing

retail or commercial space will be utilized instead of building new space. A key consideration for each of these new facilities is their ability to accommodate on-the-road driving tests. The Department intends to move to this requirement as soon as it is able.
The second component of the Governor's plan also deals with the issue of access, but approaches from a different direction. The Governor proposes to initiate 3 forms of automated license renewal that could be accomplished by Georgia drivers without having to physically visit a DMVS customer service center. This proposed budget includes $7,090,497 to accomplish this initiative.
First will be the ability to renew the most comon Georgia license (class C) by mail. The proposal calls for this capability to be operational by June 2002. This new process will create the possibility for as many as 1.3 million eligible drivers to renew their license through the mail, much like an automobile tag is done today.
Citizens will be mailed a renewal form by the DMVS informing them that they are eligible to renew by mail and that their license is about to expire. If they fill out the required form and include the license fee, a new license will be mailed to them prior to their expiration date. Licenses that are suspended, revoked or expired will not be eligible. Neither commercial driver licenses nor special permits will be handled with this procedure. Certain statutory changes are required to implement this process.
The capacity to renew your licenses using IVR (interactive voice response) will also be activated with the mail-in process. An eligible person receiving the initial form from DMVS could choose to renew with this method rather than mailing in their form. Payment would be made using a credit card.
The third avenue of automated license renewal will be through use of the Internet. Georgia drivers receiving a notice in the mail from DMVS will be given a RIN (renewal identification number), which will allow them to access a web page and complete their renewal transaction. Payment will be made by credit card. This capability is expected to be available in July 2002.
All three of these automated renewal options allow for a secure method of renewal while providing the Georgia driver with a much more convenient and customer friendly means by which to renew their license.

Statewide Uniform Electronic Voting Initiative

The unprecedented events of the 2000 presidential election raised public awareness of a nationwide problem that was not new, but that had not previously received sufficient attention. Most equipment used to cast and count votes is antiquated. Many systems currently in use have unacceptably high error rates, and some appear to be extraordinarily prone to voter error or incomplete results computation. Error rates also vary widely from county to county, and even from precinct to precinct within counties. The advances in technology that have positively transformed so many aspects of our commercial life have not, for the most part, been applied to the business of elections. Too many voters in too many communities cannot be assured that their electoral choice will be properly computed when votes are counted.
In the 2001 session, the General Assembly recognized the need for electoral reform and passed Senate Bill 213, which put Georgia at the very forefront of national efforts to improve the management of elections. To fulfill the legislative mandate of a modern, uniform system of voting for every Georgia citizen, Governor Barnes is recommending $54,000,000 in bonds to establish a uniform voting system in every county by November 2002 by purchasing voting machines, as well as, $3,366,586 to provide the necessary resources for voter education and technical support.
THE 2000 ELECTION: A WAKE-UP CALL FOR REFORM
A careful analysis of the 2000 general election results reveals that, unfortunately, the existence of significant numbers of under votes discovered across the nation was true for Georgia as well. The election resulted in 93,991 Georgia ballots, or 3.5%, not registering a vote for President of the United States, a rate that compared unfavorably with the national under vote average of 1.9% and the Florida average of 2.9. In fact, the Georgia under vote rate was one of the highest in the nation. The equipment utilized for gathering votes is varied, inconsistent, and, in many cases, outdated. Consider the four systems available to Georgia voters: paper ballots in 2 counties, punch cards in 17 counties, lever machines in 73 counties, and opti-scans in 67 counties.
Media coverage of the 2000 presidential election led some to believe that the problem of inaccurate voting systems begins and ends with punch cards and "hanging" or "dimpled chads." Georgia data, however, reveals that error rates in fact vary widely, even among counties using the same equipment. Optical scan is the most modern of the four systems, and while some optical scan counties demonstrate good accuracy rates, it is also true that some of

the highest under vote rates in the state were found in counties using optical scan equipment.
Having four different voting equipment platforms in use creates other problems as well. It is nearly impossible to conduct effective statewide voter education, to help make sure voters understand how to properly use the equipment and cast a valid ballot. Likewise, local election officials offer literally 159 different approaches to training poll managers and poll workers in how to prepare for and conduct an election.
IN PURSUIT OF ELECTION REFORM In light of the well-documented deficiencies of the
Georgia election system, Governor Barnes, the Secretary of State and legislative leaders, initiated a bi-partisan reform package in the 2001 General Assembly with the adoption of Senate Bill 213. Provisions of the legislation established the policy and the framework for Georgia to move very aggressively toward identifying and deploying essential changes in the election system. Chief among these changes was the policy directive that, subject to funding, "...the equipment used for casting and counting votes in the county, state and federal elections shall, by the July, 2004, primary election and afterwards, be the same in each county in this state and shall be provided to each county by the state". With adoption of this provision, Georgia became the first state in the nation to set a deadline for the installation of a uniform voting system.
Senate Bill 213 also provided authorization for the state to conduct a pilot project to test and evaluate the use of electronic voting systems during the 2001 municipal elections. To oversee the pilot project, and to offer recommendations to the General Assembly and Secretary of State as to the best solution for a uniform election system, the "Twenty-first Century Voting Commission" was created. Based upon the recommendation of Governor Barnes, $200,000 was appropriated in the FY 2001 Amended budget to support the Commission and to conduct the electronic equipment pilot project.
21ST CENTURY VOTING COMMISSION COORDINATES PILOT PROJECT
To fulfill the legislative assignment to develop recommendations for a uniform voting system by December 31, 2001, the 18 members Voting Commission began work in April on the pilot project. The first task was to select cities that would best represent the economic, geographic, demographic and political diversity of the state. Thirteen cities would combine to conduct the most extensive test of electronic voting equipment in the nation. Each municipality was teamed with one of six electronic

voting equipment vendors that had met both national and state certification standards, as required by state law. Through a short term lease agreement, the vendors agreed to provide sufficient certified electronic voting equipment, known as "direct record electronic" (DREs), extensive training of local election officials as well as a sufficient number of public demonstrations to promote voter understanding of the project and equipment.
During the Voting Commission meetings held in five different regions of the state, two major mandates consistently voiced by voters, election officials and Commission members were: (1) the antiquated equipment in the state must be replaced; and (2) concerted efforts to inform and involve the general public are critical for success. In light of the need and demand for voter education, Governor Barnes allocated $65,000 from discretionary funds to provide grants of $3,000 to $5,000 to each pilot city for temporarily employing "voter education coordinators." These local citizens worked with election officia ls and equipment vendors to devise an agenda for public demonstrations of the electronic equipment. Active registered voters in each pilot city also received a direct mailing that discussed the electronic voting pilot project and provided instructions as to how to cast a ballot on the particular devices being tested in their city.
VOTERS RESPOND POSITIVELY Polls opened on November 6, 2001 with much
attention from voters, local and state officials, visitors from out of state, and the media focused on the 13 pilot cities. The experience was flawless. Throughout the day, voters expressed a positive experience and election officials gained confidence in the system. Poll closing proved efficient as well, with all DRE systems generating final election results in all cities within 30 minutes.
Voters responded overwhelmingly positive to electronic voting "ease of use", with 97.2% stating that the equipment was "very easy" or "easy" to use and also responded at a rate of 89.6% that they found this "review and confirmation process" helpful.
The Commission's commitment to educate and inform voters in advance of the election also proved successful. Results of the survey indicate that nearly seven out of ten voters surveyed recalled receiving information and voters expressed a strong desire to move to DRE as the uniform voting system for the state with 94.5% expressing that they "Strongly Agree" or "Agree".
VOTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS Drawing from the first-hand experience of conducting
and witnessing elections using electronic devices, as well as weighing all components and resources brought to bear for a successful pilot project, the Twenty-first Century Voting

Commission unanimously approved the following recommendations: (1) The uniform system shall be a DRE voting system used
for precinct voting, and if authorized by new legislation, for in-person "advance" or "early" voting: (2) The uniform system shall also be composed of an optical scan voting system to be used for absentee voting: (3) The uniform system will be operated by an election management system or software program; and (4) The state should seek to maximize benefits of deploying a uniform system that will translate into long-term benefits for local governments.
The need to upgrade election equipment is apparent. Public opinion survey findings showed extremely high public support for Georgia's election reform efforts. Nearly four out of five polled approve of the uniform statewide voting initiative, and some 69 percent of respondents said they support increased state spending for modernizing election equipment.
Since the events of November 2000, Georgia is one of only three states to undertake tangible public policy changes to achieve election reform.
To fulfill the mandate of SB 213 that the voting system "...be the same in each county in this state and shall be provided by the state..." proposed plans for deployment will seek to secure a vendor capable of providing each county during the implementation period with: A complete election system; Adequate training and training resources for election
officials, poll managers and poll workers to the point of instilling confidence in their ability to conduct an election independently; and Equipment warranty and maintenance, as well as technical support for a prescribed period.
Intergovernmental agreements between the state and counties will identify certain minimum standards as (prescribed by Senate Bill 213) for long-term technical support and adequate polling places, in addition to storage requirements. After the implementation period, counties would be responsible for maintenance of the systems, as well as for the purchase of additional or replacement election units.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT VIA "CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE IN ELECTIONS"
Recognizing the need for immediate and long term technical support, Governor Barnes recommends funding a proposal by Kennesaw State University in the amount of $500,000 to create a "Center for Excellence in Elections", that would serve as a technical "help desk" and election training center for local election officials. This function serves to compliment an ongoing arrangement with

Kennesaw, whose computer science department has for many years served as the testing and certification entity for all Georgia election systems.

VOTER EDUCATION INITIATIVES Lessons learned in the electronic equipment pilot
project make clear that a framework for coordinated voter education is critical to the success of statewide deployment. With the advent of a uniform voting system, the ability to
conduct a statewide voter education program -- through a training video, "How to Vote" pamphlets, and other communication vehicles becomes a more cost effective
initiative of the state. To create voter education materials, Governor Barnes recommends $1,443,370.

Along a similar vein, voters and elections officials in

each city praised the introduction of "voter education

coordinators". In that light, the Governor recommends

funding 13 positions to serve as regional voter education

coordinators to provide a critical and consistent link

between the state and local election officials. The Governor

also recommends that one-time grants of $4,000 to $10,000

be provided to local governments to again help support

short-term voter education coordination.

For both

elements of this voter education outreach initiative, the

Governor recommends funding of $ $1,423,216.

STATEWIDE UNIFORM VOTING BY NOVEMBER 2002
Governor Barnes concurs with the findings of the
Secretary of State and the Voting Commission that the state is ready to move forward with a uniform system and is confident in the recommendations regarding electronic
voting systems. Therefore, the Governor recommends funding in the amount of $54,000,000 in bonds to purchase over 18,000 voting machines for full deployment statewide
prior to November 2002.

Statewide deployment of a uniform election system within the next year offers a number of important advantages, including:
Assures equitable treatment of all voters in every county and region by deploying the most accurate, convenient and reliable systems in all jurisdictions simultaneously.
Minimizes voter confusion and maximizes the benefits of voter education efforts by converting all 159 county systems to the new uniform electronic platform at the same time.
Achieves economies in deployment through regional approach for installation and training
Builds on the recently gained experience and expertise of election officials who participated in or observed the Pilot Project.
Assures all Georgia citizens that their government is committed to quickly addressing their concerns about the accuracy and fairness of elections.
By taking a leading role in election reform, Georgia is also setting the stage to be among the first states to participate in federal assistance. Based upon the current provisions of the most promising Congressional election reform initiatives, including legislation passed by the House of Representatives, Georgia meets all conditions for receiving matching funds, except for requirements that states offer "provisional balloting" and for standardized definitions of what constitutes a "vote", both of which will be proposed in the 2002 General Assembly. An evaluation of proposed funding formulas suggest that Georgia would be eligible to receive approximately $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 in federal funding for equipment replacement and voter education.
Georgia is poised to be the national model for election reform. Governor Barnes recommends that Georgia build on its strong start in modernizing election systems and that the uniform voting initiative be taken forward to full deployment.

Georgia's Plan for Homeland Security

In the Amended FY 2002 and FY 2003 appropriation recommendations, the Governor provides funding to match available federal dollars for Georgia's Plan for Homeland Security. Due to the events of September 11, 2001, much scrutiny was given to the current coordination of terrorism prevention and preparedness by various state agencies.
As part of the recommendation, the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center (GISAC) will be created, constructed and equipped. There is a recognized need to establish a single point, state level contact for collecting, analyzing and disseminating credible threat intelligence, information, and data from and to government agencies, the private sector and identified infrastructure targets. Staff from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Public Safety, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Department of Human Resources Division of Public Health, Georgia Technology Authority, Georgia National Guard, the Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Military will operate the GISAC and will produce daily situation reports, special analyses, warnings and bulletins as necessary. $1,022,488 was recommended as the state's portion of a 50% federal match to construct the GISAC in amended FY 2002. $377,000 in matching funds is recommended in FY 2003 in the Department of Public Safety to equip the center. The Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety is currently serving as the Director of Homeland Security for the State of Georgia.

Another component of this recommendation is to provide additional staff and associated expenses to the Department of Public Safety, Georgia Emergency Management Agency, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations to handle the increased responsibilities associated with the operation of the GISAC and other related activities. An additional $795,744 state match was recommended in the amended FY 2002 budget for the three agencies and $1,298,238 state match is recommended in the FY 2003 budget. $75,000 in additional funding match for amended FY 2002 will allow the Department of Natural Resources to more adequately equip the current emergency preparedness and response staff. Along with the additional funding in amended FY 2002, $141,762 state match is recommended for FY 2003 for additional equipment needs.
Part of the Homeland Security Plan will be addressed by the Division of Public Health by enhancing preparedness and detection activities and enhancing the response capacity. Various changes such as increasing the number of and investigation capacity of district epidemiologists throughout the state, training public health staff and community partners to recognize and respond to bioterrorism, and enhancing traditional disease surveillance mechanisms and rapid communication, notification, and collaboration with federal agencies such as Centers for Disease Control and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. A total of $698,750 is recommended in amended FY 2002 and $2,060,000 in FY 2003 to match federal funding for bioterrorism preparedness and response for the Division of Public Health.

Technology Initiatives

USING TECHNOLOGY TO CONNECT GEORGIANS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENT
Governor Barnes envisions making state government function like a successful business, with an external focus on its customers (citizens and businesses) instead of an internal focus on rules and procedures. Georgia stands at the threshold of a new day when technology can be a powerful tool in public life as well as in homes, businesses and schools. The Georgia Technology Authority created during the 1999 Regular Session is spearheading these sweeping changes to create new commercial opportunities throughout the state, connect citizens with government services, and provide educators, law enforcement and other state workers with the tools they need to do their jobs effectively and efficiently.
CREATING A PORTAL TO GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
Georgians' needs are at the center of the state's plans to create a portal, a new electronic door to government information and services. When it is completed over the next several years, the portal will simplify and streamline the way Georgians do business with state government. People and businesses using the portal will have online access to the government information they want 24 hours a day, with the assurance that their privacy is protected. Online services, such as drivers' license renewal and vehicle registration, will enable Georgians to complete many transactions faster and more conveniently.
The portal also will mean "no wrong door" to government information, presenting information organized around the public's needs, not just agency boundaries. For example, for someone looking for information about starting a new business, finding employment leads or locating services for an elderly relative, the portal will collect information from several different agencies and present it in one place.
As more transactions move online, it becomes even more important that the state be a trusted and secure custodian of citizens' private information and a secure operator of automated transmissions. GTA is coordinating

development of a privacy policy for all government information. Information will be classified by level of privacy, ranging from confidential to public. Agencies will determine how their own information should be classified.
The Governor is recommending for the Amended FY 2002 Budget $8.7 million to develop the portal for nine systems in the Department of Human Resources: Child Support Enforcement, Eligibility, Child Care, Vital Records, Aging, Immunization, Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse, Women Infants and Children and Child Welfare. These funds will be matched with federal funds at 50%. Additionally, the new Department of Motor Vehicle Safety will also be a part of the first phase. For both agencies, the Governor recommended additional funding for upgrading computer software.
MODERNIZING THE DATA CENTER GTA is developing a security plan for state
government, which includes preparing for disaster recovery and business continuity and safeguarding state information systems . One aspect is the physical security of the state's networks and computers. Further, the data center provides support for more than 125 state systems, including personnel, payroll, purchasing, invoice payments, billing and revenue collections for 76 agencies. It also operates systems that track child support payments, determine eligibility for various health and human services benefits and issue drivers' licenses.
Built more than 30 years ago, the data center is outdated and not as productive as judged by private sector standards. The state needs an up-to-date, secure data center able to safely house network-based computers to operate the thousands of applications that support state agency services. In addition to enhanced security, this arrangement also is expected to offer substantial operational savings for taxpayers.
To address this issue, the Governor is recommending $18 million in bonds in the Amended FY2002 Budget to purchase a facility to relocate the main data center to a more secure, modern environment.

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 recommendations for the appropriation of tobacco settlement funds in FY 2002 and in FY 2003 continue to honor that commitment as presented in the following chart.
Recommended Appropriation of Funds FY 2002 - FY 2003
Healthcare 67%
Rural Economic Development
33%
The following describes the use of the tobacco settlement funds as recommended in the Governor's amended FY 2002 and FY 2003 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 utilizes 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 are targeted towards Georgia's poorest counties.
Recognizing the importance of recruiting companies to provide jobs in rural Georgia, Governor Barnes set up the EDGE (Economic Development, Growth and Expansion) 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.
As of December 2001, EDGE Fund awards have been made for 14 projects in tier 1 and 2 counties. In all, 2,778 jobs will be created as a result of these projects. This investment will substantially benefit rural Georgia communities for years to come.
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.
As of December 2001, OneGeorgia had awarded over $17.8 million in Equity funds for 47 projects. Successful projects have included infrastructure improvements designed to facilitate existing business growth, targeted investments aimed at improving the competitiveness of a region or community, and projects involving agricultural innovation, tourism product development, and downtown revitalization projects.
In addition to EDGE and Equity Fund awards, OneGeorgia provides other forms of financial assistance to rural Georgia. In FY 2001, OneGeorgia provided $13 million in tobacco industry assistance, matching federal funds for a total of $26 million in assistance. This will be continued in FY 2002. OneGeorgia also provided $10 million in low interest loans for water and sewer infrastructure projects benefiting tier 1 and 2 communities through the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority in FY 2001.
Finally, $4.5 million was provided to implement the Flint River Drought Protection Act. These funds went to farmers in the Flint River region who did not irrigate following the irrigation auction. The auction withdrew over 33,000 acres from surface water irrigation. If a drought auction is called for in FY 2002, OneGeorgia will again provide funds to reimburse farmers for keeping acreage out of irrigation.
The Governor's FY 2003 Budget includes $65,430,712 for rural development through the OneGeorgia Authority.

SPECIAL INITIATIVES

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 number of Georgians receiving statesponsored healthcare and to create new healthcare initiatives to support the general well being of Georgia's citizens. For FY 2003, the Governor's recommendations continue the existing tobacco settlement funding levels for the following population-based healthcare initiatives: Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids eligibility
expansions for children and pregnant women with incomes between 200% ($35,300 for a family of four in 2001) and 235% ($41,478) of the federal poverty level Home and community-based services to prevent hospitalization or institutionalization for persons with physical and/or mental disabilities School nursing services for each school system Annual screening costs for newborn hearing screenings and follow-up treatment for the low-income uninsured Prevention services to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases like asthma, diabetes, and heart dis ease Drug therapy for persons HIV positive or in the early stages of AIDS to prevent further progression of HIV/AIDS Early intervention for at-risk families to promote successful family functioning to prevent child abuse
In FY 2002, $3.5 million in tobacco settlement funding was appropriated to support critical access hospitals. Critical access hospitals, so designated because they provide basic emergency care and inpatient services in rural or underserved areas, are now reimbursed at an amount at least equal to their cost. The Governor recommends $3.5 million in tobacco settlement funds to continue enhanced critical access hospital reimbursement in FY 2003.
GEORGIA CANCER COALITION The Georgia Cancer Coalition (GCC) was formed as a
private/public partnership to make the state a leading contributor in the effort to eradicate cancer. The GCC represents a comprehensive, statewide consortium of all public and private sector cancer stakeholders and seeks to serve as a conduit for the best prevention, treatment, and research practices available across the state and around the nation to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality rates in Georgia.

from federal sources, foundations, pharmaceutical and biotechnological firms, and venture capital firms.
As a part of the state's commitment to the cancer initiative, the Governor is recommending the use of $23.6 million in additional tobacco settlement funds in the amended FY 2002 budget for the following: $5.8 million for the Unite Georgia media campaign for
smoking cessation and prevention
$5.1 million to award grants to regional and community cancer coalitions and healthcare providers to support local cancer prevention, outreach, and care through cancer education programs and screening and detection initiatives
$3.2 million for a joint collaboration with the Georgia Research Alliance to fund eminent scholars and equipment for cancer related research in the areas of neuroscience, bioinformatics, computational human genetics and genomic medicine
$3 million for a Target Markets Seed Capital Fund, administered through the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), to support the growth and development of a statewide biotechnology and associated life sciences industry with a primary focus on cancer related areas (ATDC will administer the seed fund for biotechnology and life sciences with the same parameters as the seed capital fund for Yamacraw: three private dollars are required for every state dollar invested)
$2 million in medical benefits for the Cancer State Aid treatment program
$1.55 million for Public Health's multimedia campaign for cancer awareness
$924,000 for Georgia Cancer Coalition treatment network development
$800,000 to match private sector contributions for a Cancer Tissue and Tumor Sample Repository to provide researchers access to human cells and tissues vital to cancer research
$710,000 for additional screening and detection costs for county health departments
$365,000 for systems costs to support the information infrastructure of the Georgia Cancer Coalition
$200,000 to supplement clinical drug trial costs
Together with $10 million in bonds for a Cancer and Biotechnology Research Center at the Medical College of Georgia, these funds will be added to the $39.2 million in tobacco settlement funding already appropriated in FY 2002 for items that support the GCC's mission.

In the next 10 years, the Governor's goal is to leverage more than $300 million in tobacco settlement funding with monetary and in-kind contributions from the public and
private sectors to support the Coalition's goals. The state expects to leverage as much as 60% with contributions

Tobacco settlement funds recommended for FY 2003
total $30.9 million and are earmarked to continue many of the GCC initiatives started in FY 2002 and will support 10 new eminent cancer scholars and clinicians.

Medicaid - Upper Payment Limit Credits and Intergovernmental Transfers

In the amended FY 2002 and FY 2003 appropriation recommendations, the Governor plans to utilize upper payment limit credits to obtain additional federal Medicaid funding for payments to non-state, public Medicaid providers of hospital and nursing services and to use intergovernmental transfers to help offset the everincreasing cost of Medicaid health benefits. The following are questions and answers that explain this 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 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 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 2003, the state must contribute about $0.41 of every dollar spent or 41% 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 and can serve as a match for the upper payment limit credit.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE UPL CREDITS? The state pays the Medicaid provider an amount equal
to 120% of their IGT contribution in a combination of IGTs and federal UPL credits. The amount in excess of the initial IGT contribution can be used by the provider to offset the cost of medical services for the indigent and uninsured and is expected to net non-state public hospitals and nursing homes $85 million for FY 2002.
WHERE DO THE REMAINING UPL CREDITS GO? The remaining IGT amount, leveraged with available
federal Title XIX Medicaid funding and Title XXI Children's Health Insurance Program funding, has been utilized by the state to help offset the ever-increasing costs of Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids services. In FY 2001 and FY 2002, the state utilized $57.5 million and $69.7 million in intergovernmental transfers, respectively, to help offset Medicaid Benefits deficits. The Governor recommends the use of an additional $319.2 million in IGTs in the amended FY 2002 budget and $62.6 million in the FY 2003 budget. These transfers will continue to help cover prior and current year deficits in Medicaid Benefits and supplement new state funding that will cover the cash needs of Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids in FY 2003. FY 2003 IGTs are significantly lower than FY 2002 credits as a result of federal rule changes made by CMS in December 2001.

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING

Mandated by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act, Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) 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, the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB), and the public to identify effective program strategies and those strategies that need improvement or total revision.
Now in its sixth year of implementation, RBB offers decision-makers, program managers, and provides OPB with trend data that can be used 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 program 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 Assemb ly, 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.
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.
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 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. For the FY 2003 RBB submission, agencies were required to turn in detailed data reporting and disclosure information. Consequently, the actual result data should be more reliable. Although, the data agencies provide is not verified at the agency or collection-source level by auditors.
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 implemented via state government programs, and how well these programs are serving their customers. Progra m 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 program management.
The FY 2003 Budget Report's Results-Based Budget section includes a comparison of FY 1999 - 2000 desired results and actual performance. It also shows actual result data for FY 1998 through FY 2001. Consequently, this RBB trend data can be used as a "report card" on government performance. This coming year, OPB also will use RBB information to identify programs for more intensive evaluation. In addition, the agency RBB information is separated from the other information in this year's Budget Report and presented as a stand-alone section.
It is the intention of the Office of Planning and Budget to display the RBB information on our web page (http://www.opb.state.ga.us/) in early 2002. This will allow for the following:
Inclusion of any omissions and timely data updates;
Addition of detailed notes and other information;
Links to similar measures in different agencies; and
Links to the policy areas of the State Strategic Plan.
OPB is committed to providing the most useful RBB data possible. Accordingly, we would like to answer any questions about the RBB programs, goals or measures that might arise. For additional information, please contact the Office of Planning and Budget at rbb@mail.opb.state.ga.us .

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. 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, particularly 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.
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, 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, 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 knowledgebased, information-driven, and service delivery-focused, 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 hasalso 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

38

STATE STRATEGIC PLAN

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 metropolitan areas of Georgia must be livable, prosperous, clean, safe: places where people want to work and can enjoy their lives in the way they choose. These are communities where commerce can thrive.
CLEAN ENVIRONMENT / 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 law-abiding, 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 knowledgebased economy. Information and the quick access to that information will be the critical component in achieving the success we have outlined in our vision. 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 2003 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications documenting the Governor's budget recommendations to the 2002 General Assembly and subsequent appropriations.
This Budget Report presents the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for FY 2003, which begins July 1, 2002 and ends June 30, 2003. 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 in January.
An Amended Budget Report released the week prior to the General Assembly regular session in January, details spending changes recommended by the Governor for the current fiscal year. The Amended Budget Report presented to the 2002 General Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the current fiscal year that ends on June 30, 2002.
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 2003 BUDGET REPORT
Department summaries can have as many as 9 separate sections in this FY 2003 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. Budget Units are also noted for other than the primary Unit [Unit A].
FINANCIAL SUMMARY The Financial Summary for each department budget
unit provides several levels of budget information by object

class, including expenditures for two 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 2000 and FY 2001 actual expenditures; FY 2002 current operating budget; and FY 2003 agency requests by adjusted base, enhancements (limited to 2% of the adjusted base), and totals.
The second page of each summary includes the following information concerning the FY 2003 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 2002 and partially funded enhancements from FY 2002. Previous non-recurring and one-time expenditures are deducted, and other adjustments, including workload and transfer of funds among object classes, are incorporated.
Budget Reductions Recommended decreases in the budget in response to the current economic slowdown.
Adjusted Base - Consists of the summation of the Current Budget, Annualizers and Adjustments, and Budget Reductions 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. Total State Funds, displayed in bold type, represents state general funds either recommended or appropriated to the departments.
The number of positions and motor vehicles are the last items displayed under each table.
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

40

READER'S GUIDE

Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is exp lained in sequence in the Budget Summary.
Adjustments to Current Budget Adjusted Base - The first line lists the existing state appropriations for FY 2002, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for FY 2003 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases, reductions for non-recurring expenditures, increased workload activities, and budget reductions due to the current economic slowdown. These annualizers and adjustments to the 2002 appropriation total provide the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his FY 2003 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 the Governor's recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES This page describes basic 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 exp anded, and new initiatives that are being proposed for the future.
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 2003 Capital Outlay Projects, the Capital Improvement Program also displays Capital Outlay

Projected Needs for FY 2004 through 2007, as identified by the agencies.
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 2003 capital requests and recommendations and the FY 2004-2007 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.
RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING SECTION 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

READER'S GUIDE

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 2003 Budget Report provides trend data by which to assess program impact.
Program Fund Allocations - The Program Fund Allocations summary provides the FY 2001 actual expenditures, FY 2002 current appropriations, and the Governor's FY 2003 budget recommendations for each program. Total and state funds are shown separately. This

display provides a fuller presentation of an agency's mix of funds than previously provided in the state's budget documents.
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 an amount equal to not less than 3%

nor more than 5% of net revenue collections (excludes
Lottery Funds, Indigent Care Trust Funds, and Tobacco Settlement Funds) as directed by Governor as of the end of the fiscal year. Additional surplus above the reserve is
available for appropriation. The status of the reserve, as of the end of the fiscal year, for the last 15 years is presented below.

LOTTERY RESERVES

Georgia's lottery laws require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.

The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10% of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage.

Funds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $68,382,700 on June 30, 2001.

The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount also be maintained within the Lottery for Education Account.

The scholarship reserve law requires that the subaccount be fully established over five years at a rate of 10 percent a year until the reserve equals 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year.

Lottery surplus available at the end of FY 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended FY 1996 budget and left enough funds to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, fully funded the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2001 totaled $110,084,877.

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

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS

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 $625,000,000 for FY 2003. The Governor recommends $625,000,000 for the following programs.
VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOURYEAR OLDS
This program is designed to give Georgia's four-yearolds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $245,186,797 in FY 2003 to serve four-year-olds. This funding is based on a ratio of public school and private pre-kindergarten providers.
The reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for FY 2003 for the 36-week program represent a 2.5% increase over the FY 2002 rates and are as follows:

children an opportunity to participate in an early education program. Also recommended is $1,098,901 for a 2% increase in operational funds for all pre-kindergarten centers.
HELPING OUTSTANDING PUPILS EDUCATIONALLY (HOPE) AND OTHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
These programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Go vernor's recommendation for the HOPE program for FY 2003 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. 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 students 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 awards in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants (TEG) of $1,100 per academic year.

With a State-Certified Teacher:
Zone 1 *$98.91 Zone 2 *$90.05
With a Non-Certified Teacher:
Zone 1 *$88.12 Zone 2 *$79.26
*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 area as follows: Zone 1 Metro Atlanta and Zone 2 All Other.
The total funding includes $20,247,000 for at-risk services including resource coordination services and transportation for at-risk four-year-olds and their families. Governor Barnes recommends $3,753,907 to provide for a 3.5% salary increase for certified Pre-K teachers and 4-year degreed teachers and a 2.5% increase for vocational/Montessori teachers and teacher assistants. The Governor further recommends $40,000 in additional funding for Head Start projects to provide a 6.5 hour day for Head Start classes in order to provide about 12,000

All students working toward a diploma or certificate at public colleges or technical 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 colleges. For any Georgia resident who earns a GED, the HOPE program provides a certificate worth $500 that 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 Georgia Student Finance Commission administers the HOPE program. All non-administrative costs are distributed to the University System, technical colleges and eligible private colleges. The total cost for this program in FY 2003 is projected to be $366,304,011.
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 2003 is $663,960.

57

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS

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 duty. The cost of this program is FY 2003 is $246,024.
The HOPE Teacher Scholarship program provides service-cancelable 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 canceled. Others will have one-fourth of the loan canceled for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in FY 2003 is projected to be $4,204,658.
The Promise Scholarship program provides servicecancelable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools.

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 Surplus Property System Transfer Application, Workers' Compensation Coordinated Medical Care program, Electronic Commerce program, and the Statewide Fleet Management system.
SURPLUS PROPERTY SYSTEM TRANSFER APPLICATION
This project will set up an on-line application that will allow surplus property to be transferred among state agencies, local governments and eligible non-profit organizations via an intranet. It will also have the capability to link to Internet on-line auction websites (auction websites expose their products and services to over 100,000 persons daily). Online transfers would eliminate the costs expended to move property as well as the associated warehousing costs. In addition, available property will be exposed to a larger community. State agencies, local governments and eligible non-profits in remote places will have access to property that the communities surrounding DOAS warehouses has previously received.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION COORDINATED MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM
Employers in the State of Georgia are required to post medical panels informing employees who are injured at work of their right to select a treating physician from the employer's list. Prior to 1994 employers were required to post a "Traditional Panel" (WC-P1) listing a minimum of four physicians (including at least one orthopedist) from which employees could choose a physician who would provide medical care for their on-the-job injury. Effective January 1, 2002, the number of physicians that must be offered on the "Traditional Panel" is increased to six.
In 1994, the Georgia Legislature amended the Workers' Compensation Statute to permit employers to select from 3 different types of panels to provide injured workers with access to medical care for work related injuries. In addition to the "Traditional Panel", this statutory reform introduced the "Conformed Panel" (WCP2) and the "Managed Care Panel" (WC-P3). The "Conformed Panel" is an expansion of the "Traditional Panel" and must include a minimum of ten physicians representing specific medical specialties, including orthopedics and chiropractic.
The third type of medical panel is the "Managed Care Organization (WC/MCO) Panel" (WC-P3). This panel allows access to a broad network of physicians and healthcare providers who have contractual service

agreements with the WC/MCO. The WC/MCO is certified by the State Board of Workers' Compensation on a countyby-county basis. Certification is granted based on achievement of specific requirements to include a broad spectrum of specialty physicians and facilities to provide geographically accessible care on a prompt basis. The WC/MCO is also required to coordinate medical care for injured employees by providing qualified case managers to assist them throughout the course of their recovery and return to work.
Employee satisfaction will also impact the "soft" costs associated with work related injuries. Employees who receive prompt care and attention will maintain more positive attitudes toward their employer, exhibit improved morale and contribute positively to the success of the Agency's goals.
ELECTRONIC COMMERCE PROGRAM Following the strategic direction of the Georgia
Technology Authority, DOAS 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; 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; and, 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 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. 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 (PKI) 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 GTA, will consistently implement authentication solutions based on GTA standards. Implementation of these standards will benefit DOAS customers and ultimately the State.
Advancing the use of Electronic Commerce in Georgia will benefit state, local and federal governments and Georgia businesses wanting to conduct business safely and securely via the internet.
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 through; eliminating reduction and non-value-added steps in
business processes, collaborating on business partner relationships to
improve responsiveness and, utilizing the speed, and the flexibility available with
web technology.
STATEWIDE FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The State needs a comprehensive Fleet Management
System that will track all information on state-

owned/operated vehicles from purchase through disposal including a standard classification system, a single inventory database, operational costs depreciation, and resale, will provide a means to efficiently manage the State passenger fleet.
The new system will allow DOAS to: maintain a Webbased database for vehicle specification, surplus management and assigned vehicles, develop and monitor statewide performance measures, ensure that agencies leverage the State's buying power by using statewide contracts for purchasing, vehicle repair and maintenance, and provide a "One-Stop Shopping" approach to deliver fleet services.
Using current Fuel Card utilization data it would not be too bold to estimate that a fully implemented system could save $4M to $6M within the first three years of operation and reduce state-owned on-road (light duty) vehicles through implementation of a statewide Fleet Management Program.
Governor Barnes recommended $919,057 in the FY 2003 Budget to create an Office of Fleet Management, including 3 positions and associated operating costs.

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.
CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION The primary function of this division is to inspect retail

food establishments (i.e., grocery stores) for contamination nd 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. Following a July 2001 reorganization, this division assumed administrative, retail, wholesale and weights and measures responsibilities from the Fuel and Measures program. 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. It includes inspections and tests for commercial weighing devices, including scales, liquefied petroleum gas meters, milk tanks, moisture meters, gasoline pumps, transport tank trucks, fuel oil terminals and bulk plants.
MARKETING DIVISION The Marketing Division operates 6 regional markets
(Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, 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. The division assumed the warehouse function from the Fuel and Measures program in the July, 2001 reorganization.
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 2, 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.

Administration (FDA) has selected the Georgia Milk Safety Program as one of its state pilots in the development and
Food Establishment Inspections FY 1997- FY 2001

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.

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

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

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 1,000,000 pounds have been made in 110 counties. Projected collections for FY 2002 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

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - Strategies and Services

the theme "Georgia...Always In Good Taste" in publicizing and displaying Georgia products at food and 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 program within the Consumer
Protection Division is responsible for regulating the accuracy of all commercial weighing and measuring devices, and the quality of petroleum products. The program has upgraded the 6 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 program's petroleum fuel and antifreeze inspection and testing outfits inspected 7,949 service stations and tested approximately 12,763 petroleum fuel and antifreeze samples for FY 2001.
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 bettles 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 as well as building and fostering 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
commu nity 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.
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 the

Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism 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. The Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders advises each regional team.
In the Amended FY 2002 Budget Governor Barnes has recommended $1,500,000 to match private and local funds to continue the downtown development revolving loan fund called the Georgia Cities Foundation, 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.
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 provides guidance in developing local comprehensive plans, reviewing local plans, and assisting officials in bringing them into compliance with state planning requirements. The division provides technical and financial assistance for implementing the plans.
GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY
The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities.
In FY 2001, GEFA approved $79 million in water/wastewater loans and solid waste and recycling loans and grants. As of July 2001, GEFA total loan approvals were $1.052 billion. GEFA currently has water, sewer, and solid waste loans with 327 jurisdictions or 44.6% of the state's cities, counties, and public water authorities, which is an increase of 5% from FY 2000.
In the last calendar year tracked, GEFA estimates that its loan programs saved local governments approximately $22.4 million in interest savings over the life of the loans versus what they would have paid in borrowing costs to the private sector.

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. Currently, of approved GEFA loans, 70% of the communities served are under 10,000 in population.
The Governor is recommending $20 million in G.O. bonds in the Amended FY 2002 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 to state funds, the Authority administers the disbursement of both the Federal Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the Federal Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. The $20 million recommendation includes an $8 million state match to these federal programs.
The Amended FY 2002 Budget recommendation also includes $3 million in G.O. bonds for the remediation and removal of state-owned fuel storage tanks on stateowned 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, 655 are in compliance and will be retained, and 770 have been removed. Progress in the program remains on schedule.
In addition, $500,000 in state general funds is recommended in the FY 2003 budget for the removal of state-owned 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. Both appropriations for the Underground Fuel Storage Tank program can be found in the Georgia Building Authority budget, which is attached to the Department of Administrative Services. The Georgia Building Authority is the proper entity to administer funds for improvements to state-owned property
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

105

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS Strategies and Services

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 and land use plans for the region that will bring it into compliance with air quality standards. If other regions of the state are designated as "non-attainment" areas, they will also fall under GRTA's purview.
In June 2001, Governor Barnes announced a major initiative to move the state's transportation system forward by spending over $8.3 billion in enhancements.

This plan will not only improve current mobility across the metro Atlanta, but will also increase transportation choices for people throughout the state. Implementing this plan is an arduous task--naturally requiring the innovative style and high standards of GRTA.
GRTA has teamed with the Georgia Department of Transportation to make this initiative a reality. Together, the departments are able to draw on a wide array of experience, expertise, creativity, and technology to accomplish a task that will change Georgia's transportation future. Some of the projects include HOV lane improvement and extension, vanpools, commuter buses, multi-laning projects, the Northern Arc, commuter rail and a multi modal terminal for Atlanta.

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 Services). 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 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 eleventh year of operation in 2001. 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.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Strategies and Services

The Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) was created in FY 2000 to take advantage of economies of scale in purchasing health care and to coordinate and improve access to health care.
The department manages over $6 billion in health benefit expenditures in an ever-changing environment. While assuring health care coverage for 2 million Georgians covered by Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids and State Health Benefit Plan, the department works to also increase access to health services. These goals are addressed through several budget initiatives.
HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES A worsening shortage among nurses and other key
health care professionals throughout the state is threatening to destroy our health care infrastructure. In 2001, the department issued a study report, Code Blue: Workforce in Crisis that highlighted the severity of the problem.
Vacancy rates of 10 - 20% among nurses, allied health and behavioral health care professionals have become common in hospitals, nursing homes and public sector programs. The shortage Georgia is experiencing is shared by states across the country. Concurrent with the decreasing supply of professionals is rapidly increasing demand for health care services.
Contributing factors to the inadequate supply include population growth, the aging of the population and the aging of the current health care workforce, declining numbers of new recruits and graduates in health care professions, and an increasingly challenging work environment in health care. The committee's report recommends a variety of strategies to address the shortage.
Funding the health workforce initiatives will provide a comprehensive statewide planning and forecasting system, public information, workforce recruitment, training and support for providers, community development programs and other innovative efforts to recruit and retain more nonphysician professionals.
IMPROVING COORDINATION AND MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCIES
The department is in the early stages of implementing a new information system that will process and store health claims data for the State Health Benefit Plan, Medicaid program, Board of Regents Health Plan (BORHP), and PeachCare for Kids. The new system will maximize costefficiency and reduce unnecessary inconveniences for health care providers and health plan members.

The new system will allow health care providers to file claims and access information from the same portal for everyone covered by state health plans. It will give the department a greater capacity to assist doctors and hospitals with identifying best medical practices and improving standards of care and patient safety.
Implementation for the new information system is expected to cost about $75 million over two years, 90 percent of which will be paid through federal funds. DCH anticipates saving $11 million in annual operating costs with the combined system. The department currently spends about $88 million annually for claims and other administrative services to support its four health plans.
The new system will be implemented in three stages, beginning with the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs, followed by the State Health Benefit Plan and the Board of Regents Health Plan.
CONTROLLING THE GROWTH OF EXPENDITURES
Pharmaceutical costs in both the State Health Benefit Plan and the Medicaid program have been growing at unsustainable rates in recent years. The implementation of the pharmacy benefit manager has helped control the rate of growth in the program. Pharmacy expenditures in the Medicaid program increased only 17 percent from FY 2000 to 2001. This is down from a rate of growth of 26 percent from the previous year.
To further control the rate of growth, the department seeks to study alternative funding methodologies for long term care pharmacy services. Analysis of methods used in other states such as South Carolina indicates that the Medicaid program could save as much as $3.6 million by placing more utilization management responsibility on long term care providers.
IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH FOR CHILDREN
Since the PeachCare for Kids program began in 1999, Georgia has had one of the highest enrollment rates in the nation. PeachCare for Kids covers uninsured children in families with incomes that exceed Medicaid eligibility guidelines but are equal to or less than 235 percent of the federal poverty level ($41,478 a year for a family of four). With more than 170,000 children enrolled, more than 80 percent of the state's eligible children now have health coverage. Georgia has one of the top five children's health insurance programs in the country and the only state with a complete web-based application in English and Spanish.

121

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH Strategies and Services

In April 2001, the PeachCare for Kids program began enrolling children the month of program application. Previously, children were not eligible to receive services until the first day of the month after their eligibility had been determined. Under the new process, for example, an eligible child who applies January 15 will have coverage starting January 1. Additionally, the Department streamlined the application process such that a family applying for PeachCare for Kids, but actually eligible for Medicaid, will automatically be enrolled in Medicaid. This saves the family from two application processes and expedites access to healthcare.
IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH IN RURAL AREAS
Access to health services is an important component in recruiting new businesses to rural Georgia. The department, through the Office of Rural Health Services,

wants to ensure that every rural county in Georgia is a functioning part of a coordinated multi-county, multiprovider health care network.
The department is building on its efforts to build and sustain various elements of rural health networks. One important element is small commu nity hospitals. Last year, $13 million was appropriated to support critical access hospitals and an additional $6.2 million in special payments was secured from the Indigent Care Trust Fund for these small rural hospitals.
The department is working to link together all rural health providers to improve access for people living in these areas. Eleven pilot projects got off the ground in FY 2001 and are beginning to show some promising results. Developing networks have begun cost sharing for physician specialists across county lines.

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 45,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 122,100 offenders are on probation, 4,900 of who are in residential programs.
The mission of the DOC is to protect the public, serve victims of crime and reduce crimes committed by sentenced offenders by holding offenders accountable and providing safe and secure facilities, effective community supervis ion and effective methods of self-improvement for offenders. 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: Sound correctional practice is founded upon reliable
and timely information. Citizens are safe from incarcerated and supervised
offenders; correctional environments will be safe, secure and disciplined for all staff and offenders. Communications are hallmarked by enhanced public awareness, collaborative partnerships and effective departmental teamwork. A continuum of balanced sanctions is available to the criminal justice system. A highly trained, professional workforce is available to achieve the department's mission, today and in years to come. Prepare offenders to accept responsibility for their acts, to restore harm done to the community, and to lead a productive, crime -free life.
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 (24). 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.
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.

During his tenure, Governor Barnes has opened a total
of 4,771 beds. These beds include 2,634 hard beds, 1,045 county beds and 1,092 alternative beds. To further exemplify Governor Barnes commitment to balance
available bed space, Governor Barnes has authorized an additional 6,131 beds. These beds, which are in the planning or construction stage, consist of 2,706 hard beds,
256 county beds and 3,169 alternative beds.

These beds are a must as Georgia's prison population
continues to climb. During 2000, Georgia experienced a 5.1% growth in prison population, leading all states. Georgia has the eighth largest prison population in the
nation and has the fifth highest incarceration rate. As of December 2001, the prison population was 45,708.

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. Since 1985, the state prison capacity has increased from 16,401 to over 45,000
inmates. The following initiatives represent this effort.
Front End Beds: Greater availability and increased use of alternatives to prison such as day reporting centers,
probation detention centers, and probation diversion centers.
Prison Beds: Expansion of existing prisons and the construction of `hard' beds to accommodate the higher security risk offender going to prison.
Back End Beds: Expansion of the transitional center alternatives to the more costly `hard' bed. Instead of being released directly from prison to the community, inmates spend approximately six months in a
transitional center where they begin to reestablish roots in their community.

The Governor's effort to provide appropriate resources

is displayed in his Amended FY 2002 Budget and FY 2003

Budget recommendations.

The Governor's

recommendation includes operational funding for 1,798

additional beds and capital funding for 672 additional beds.

These beds represent an appropriate mixture of conventional hard prison beds as well as alternative beds.
The Governor's Amended FY 2002 and FY 2003 budget recommendations includes operating and start-up funding for the following facilities:
Amended FY 2002 Recommendation: Expansion of county correctional institutions
864 beds Augusta Transitional Center 200 beds Whitworth Detention Center 192 beds FY 2003 Recommendation: Clayton Transitional Center 192 beds LaGrange Transitional Center - 150 beds Dublin Diversion Center 100 beds Dalton Diversion Center 100 beds Capital Funding: Bainbridge Substance Abuse Treatment Center
(Phase II) 192 beds Wilkes Probation Detention Center 192 beds Lamar Probation Detention Center 192 beds Emanuel Probation Detention Center expansion
96 beds
In summary the Governor's budget recommendation accomplishes the mission of ensuring public safety while using tax dollars in the most efficient and effective manner.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and Services

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. In the past, the average jail backlog has been as high as 3,220 in 1989 and as low as 639 in 2000. As of December 2001, the current jail backlog was 1,364.
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. 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 November of 2001, the Georgia Jail Summary reported the number of individuals in county jails at 29,636. The number consisted of 17,366 awaiting trial, 4,763 county inmates, 4,235 other inmates and 3,268 sentenced to state prisons or parole / probation issues.

of Senate Bill 474 removed misdemeanants from the state's probation caseload, allowing probations resources to be devoted to supervis ing felons. The misdemeanant population dropped by over 14,000 while the felon population rose by nearly 3,000. The average standard/administrative caseload decreased by nearly 80 offenders per officer, bringing the caseload size in June 2001 to 254 per caseload. On January 1, 2000, Georgia had the second highest standard probation caseload size in the nation.

The Risk-Based Supervision Model is used to insure that the highest risk probationers receive the most intense supervision. The model consists of 3 types of supervision (Intensive, Specialized and Regular) and four levels of supervision (Max, High, Standard and Administrative). Intensive supervision is the most restrictive and structured type of supervision. There are over 4,000 offenders under intensive supervision at any given time. Specialized supervision, also highly restrictive and structured, targets offenders convicted of sex crimes, or cruelty to children crimes, or family violence. There are over 4,500 offenders under specialized supervision at any time. Specially trained officers with caseloads capped at 40 supervise these populations.

PROBATION SUPERVISION During the past fiscal year, the total offender
population supervised by the Probation Division has actually dropped by more than 11,000 cases. The passage

Any probationer not under intensive or specialized supervision is supervised under regular probation supervision. Probationers on regular supervision will be
supervised at the standard, high or max level, based upon

the risk of the offender. Maximum caseloads are capped at 40 and High caseloads are capped at 80. Under state law, probationers who have met all financial obligations and have complied with the other probation conditions must be moved to administrative status after 2 years unless the sentencing judge chooses to continue the active probation supervision.
According to estimates from the State Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Department of Corrections, there are approximately 6,000 non-violent inmates admitted into the state prison system that fit the profile of offenders sentenced to probation detention centers. Using community residential beds in lieu of prison beds for these lower risk offenders means that costly prison beds can be reserved for violent offenders who pose a threat to the public.
The financial benefit of community residential facilities is significant. The entire community residential center package is expected to result in a ten-year savings of $250 to $500 million created by diverting offenders from costly prison beds to far less expensive community custody.
Over 80 percent of all probationers have a history of substance abuse. Research in the area of recidivism clearly shows that substance abuse is a major factor in whether an offender re-offends. Accordingly, to assure the continued success of probationers and to protect the public, probation officers must identify possible substance abuse by those under their supervision.
In the past year the department has opened the Atlanta Day Reporting Center and the Bainbridge Probation Substance Abuse Treatment Center. As residential and other treatment programs expand, the department will support them with pre -screening and assessments of all potential participants and provide structured after-care supervision for the offenders upon completion of programming.
The department is at the "roll out" phase of an automated case management system. This system will increase standardization, uniformity and overall accountability for both offender and staff.
The Governor's Amended FY 2002 Budget 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.

there are basic principles associated with successful programs. Those programs that have none of the identified principles of risk, need, and responsivity actually showed
an increase in recidivism of up to 7%.

In order to lower the recidivism rate in Georgia, the
Programs Division will focus on implementing programs for the incarcerated offenders and those on probation based on empirical data and scientific evidence that has been
proven effective. The four primary areas of intervention include substance abuse, education, employment and cognitive restructuring. These are the areas that address
criminogenic needs, which are associated with criminal behavior and when impacted, have a positive effect on recidivism.

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH SERVICES The department health services mission is to deliver a
constitutional level of health care to all inmates in the most cost effective manner possible. At the present time approximately 35% of the state's prison population has
some form of chronic care condition. Overall 6% of the prison population requires a specialized medical bed. Currently there are 134 medical beds at Augusta State
Medical Prison and another 142 infirmary beds throughout the system.

As the department's population continues to age and the number of mental health inmates climb the health budget increases. The Governor is recommending an
additional $10 million to provide adequate health care. The inmate mental health population has climbed from 1,251 in 1991 to 5,737 in 2001. Inmates 50 years of age and older
have increased form 1,153 in 1991 to 3,948 in 2001. An increasing population and an older inmate population has lead to increased cost in health. Although the cost of
inmate health care has increased, Georgia continues to be a leader in its ability to be efficient and effective with its available resources. In comparing Georgia's daily health
care cost per inmate to that of neighboring states, Georgia ranked fourth.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Defense serves the nation and the State of Georgia by organizing and maintaining National Guard forces, which the President can call to active duty to augment the nation's regular armed services, or which the Governor as Commander-in-Chief of the State Militia can order deployed in instances of disaster, riot, violence or other dangers threatening the state and its citizens. The department achieves these objectives through its 4 components: Office of the Adjutant General, Air National Guard, the Army National Guard and the State Defense Force. Using these components, the department operates and manages approximately 1,200 training, maintenance, and logistics army facilities statewide.
Another responsibility of the Georgia Department of Defense is the operation of Youth Challenge Academies for at-risk-youth in the State of Georgia.
GEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD The role of the Georgia Air National Guard is to
provide fully equipped, fully trained combat units which are prepared to respond to state or national emergencies. The activation/deactivation, organization, administration, training, equipping and housing of its units as well as the

evaluation of its wartime capability are mandated responsibilities.
GEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD The Georgia Army National Guard is responsible for
maintaining a level of operational readiness, which allows for immediate and effective response to state or national emergencies, civil disturbances, and natural disasters.
OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL The role of the Office of the Adjutant General is to
provide command and control of the entire organization as well as centralized administrative support for the department. The Adjutant General also serves as the state's director of the Selective Service System.
STATE DEFENSE FORCE The role of the State Defense Force is to serve as a
caretaker administration in the event of a full mobilization, and to provide assistance during emergencies and natural disasters as well as support for the staging of special events.
AUTHORITY Title 38, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Strategies and Services

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.
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 als o 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 Georgia 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 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.
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.
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.
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. In the Amended FY 2002, the Governor recommended $2,000,000 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.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

The recent downturn in the economy has challenged the state to use its more limited financial resources on the state's core responsibilities. Education is one of those core responsibilities and Governor Barnes has largely exempted the K-12 programs from budget reductions. While most agencies are taking reductions of 5% to their base, local school system reductions amount to one-quarter of 1%. Governor Barnes has channeled much of his energy and attention to improving teacher quality and student achievement and ensuring the education system is held accountable for performance. Using the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 as his main vehicle, Governor Barnes laid the foundation for dramatic improvement in education: increasing funding for school construction to house Georgia's booming student growth; expanding the criterion reference competency test to include grades 1-8 to hold schools accountable for academic performance; beginning the development of end-of-course exams for certain high school courses to ensure that all high school students are held to the same high academic standards across the state; and launching an ambitious school improvement program to assist low-performing schools seeking help.
Believing that a well prepared, highly motivated classroom teacher is necessary to implement any successful school improvement effort, the Governor has moved to reward the accomplishments of a growing group of National Board Certified teachers and has taken aggressive steps to keep Georgia's average teacher salary at the national level, above all other southeast states. The Governor is also calling for a comprehensive evaluation of teacher staff development and has taken steps to revamp school leadership training. In an ongoing effort to increase access to postsecondary education, Governor Barnes has revised the Post Secondary Options program to encourage high schools and postsecondary institutions to support the program.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TESTING
The federal government is implementing an educational policy to encourage states and localities to increase accountability by developing a system of sanctions and rewards to hold school districts accountable for improving academic achievement.
Governor Barnes has already provided the funds and policy changes needed to develop and implement accountability standards that are similar to the new federal standards through the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000. Georgia is now emerging as a state with an established student testing system to document student achievement on a national and state level. Georgia's testing programs will

comprehensively assess students' educational achievement from kindergarten through high school. The Georgia Department of Education's testing schedule includes both norm-referenced and criterion-referenced components to determine educational effectiveness. Nationally normreferenced tests provide students, teachers, and parents with grade equivalencies and percentile ranks whereas criterionreferenced tests measure how well students have learned Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC).
The Stanford 9 norm referenced test was administered for the first time in Georgia during the spring of 2001. The Stanford 9 replaced the Iowa's Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) and provides information about how the performance of Georgia students compares with that of students in a national norm group. On all areas of the Stanford 9, Georgia students scored around the national average. The 2002 administration of the Stanford 9 will provide better comparative information about changes in achievement.
In addition to tests that compare Georgia students to others in the nation, it is vital to have competency tests that measure the students' knowledge of the state's QCC. QCC standards specify the academic content for kindergarten through the 12th grade. The standards are the result of the Quality Basic Education (QBE) Act which lists the broad competencies expected of all students who complete public high school in Georgia. The QCC recently underwent an audit will provide recommendations on how to strengthen it to further meet future educational goals.
To measure how well Georgia students learn and retain knowledge of the QCC, the Georgia Department of Education developed the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT). The CRCT yields information on academic achievement at the student, class, school, system, and state levels. This information will provide a diagnosis of individual student strengths and weaknesses as related to the instruction of the QCC, as well as program evaluation information for use by Georgia's accountability system through the eventual grading of schools and the diagnosis of schools that need assistance. The Office of Educational Accountability will use this data to identify means to improve student achievement and school completion.
Georgia law, as amended by the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000, requires that all students in grades 1 through 8 take the CRCT in the content areas of reading, English/language arts, and mathematics. Science and social studies CRCT assessments are required in grades 3 through 8. In implementing the testing required by law, summative, end of year reading, English/language arts, and mathematics assessments were first administered in the spring of 2000 in grades 4, 6 and 8. Assessments in science

160

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

and social studies (grades 3 through 8) will be administered annually beginning spring 2002. Additionally, beginning in spring 2002, assessments in reading, English/language arts, and mathematics will be administered annually in grades one through eight.
In 1997, the Georgia Department of Education entered into a multi-year master agreement to produce, administer and score the CRCT tests. To complete the current contract under that agreement, Governor Barnes recommends $3,385,810 in the Amended FY 2002 budget to expand the CRCT in science and social studies in grades 3 through 8 and in reading, English, language arts, and mathematics in grades 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. A portion of the agreement includes development and piloting of web-enabling testing for the CRCT. This will allow an experiment for Georgia students to take the CRCT on-line and will aide Georgia in understanding the requirements the state and local school systems may need to meet in order to have students take the entire CRCT on-line and get immediate scores. Governor Barnes also recommends an additional $1,000,000 in the Amended FY 2002 budget to produce, administer, score and report CRCT tests and maintain an item banking system for the CRCT in English/language arts, mathematics, and reading for grades 4, 6, and 8.
In FY 2003, Governor Barnes recommends $6,225,000 to begin a new contract for the CRCT test that would further develop the CRCT in science and social studies for grades 3 through 8, and in reading, English/language arts, and mathematics in grades 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. This contract will further develop the web-enabled component of the test based on the results of the pilot in the spring of 2002.
The high school end-of-course exams are also a type of criterion-referenced test to be used in Georgia. These tests are designed to assess basic knowledge of core high school curriculum such as Algebra and American Government. End-of-course exams can also go a long way toward standardizing what is taught in high schools across the state.
Governor Barnes recommends $4,615,848 in the FY 2003 budget to continue development of end-of-course exams in eight core subjects. These exams will first be administered in school year 2002-2003 will fully replace the current Georgia High School Graduation Test.
Throughout his term, Governor Barnes has provided funding for the Advanced Placement (AP) exam. Since 1998, the exams have been fully funded by the state. Offering these exams free of charge stimulates an increase in the percentage of students taking AP courses and exams and better prepares them for postsecondary scholarships and exemption from first level courses in college. For the FY 2002 Amended Budget, Governor Barnes is recommending $1,203,600 in additional funds to pay for the AP exams.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
As part of Governor Barnes' ongoing commitment to improve student achievement in FY 2002, the Governor provided $11,000,000 as part of a targeted assistance strategy for Georgia's high priority schools. One hundred sixty-three schools have volunteered to participate in this comprehensive approach to school reform employing the America's Choice school reform model.
The America's Choice model combines the key variables that research has proven are critical to effective schools: 1) a rigorous curriculum and high standards for all students; 2) collaboration among staff in working toward clear goals; 3) high quality staff development that also ties directly to the school's goals; 4) instructional leadership; and 5) meaningful and sustained parental involvement. The model intends to engage the entire school community in the efforts towards reform. In fact, a critical component of America's Choice is the provision of 2 Instructional Support Specialists that develop a model classroom. These Instructional Support Specialists, then, work directly with other teachers in a coaching capacity as teachers implement the model in their respective classrooms. A technical assistance infrastructure comprised of 32 Team Leaders, 8 Regional Managers, and 25 Business Advisors provide ongoing training and monitoring. In the FY 2002 Amended Budget Governor Barnes recommended an additional $9,055,969 to continue school improvement for the first group. These 163 schools are receiving intensive training and support that will help them direct all of their school's resources in a comprehensive manner toward improving student achievement. Ultimately, these schools will have the tools to sustain the reform.
Additionally, the America's Choice model is being adapted to align specifically with Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum and the tenets of HB 1187. In FY 2003 and beyond all schools that opt to participate in this initiative will receive training in the Georgia's Choice School Reform Program. Accordingly, from their inception in the program these schools will be required to use their many sources of staff development funds, particularly federal Title I funds, as the first step in a comprehensive strategy to re-direct their schools resources into an integrated program of school improvement. The state will continue to provide the technical assistance infrastructure and training. In FY 2003 Governor Barnes recommends $12,752,803 to continue full funding for the 163 schools that will participate in their second year of the state funded America's Choice reform. This recommendation will also continue funding for the technical assistance infrastructure that will provide additional training and support to a new group of schools participating in Georgia's Choice.
Georgia's choice is but one approach along a continuum of strategies created by the governor to improve

161

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

student achievement, especially for students at risk of failing academically. The early intervention program, designed to serve students in grades kindergarten through five who are at risk of not reaching or maintaining academic grade level, is budgeted $398,894,704 in FY 2003 to serve approximately 79,190 FTE students. Additional instructional days, which provides 20 additional days for students after school, on the weekends, and during the summer is budgeted $46,495,792 in FY 2003 to serve approximately 131,850 FTE students.
TEACHER QUALITY
STAFF DEVELOPMENT Georgia's efforts to insure that all children achieve at
high levels is driven by a comprehensive approach that includes improving teacher quality and developing effective school leadership. While staff development is a critical component of achieving both of these goals, teachers and school leaders require different skills and support from staff development. Appropriately, Governor Barnes has developed two strategies to insure that staff development is appropriately aligned with the distinct needs of teachers and school leaders.
Improving teacher quality is a multi-faceted process that begins as future teachers enter our state's colleges and universities and continues into their professional careers. Teachers face a new and dynamic challenge to educate a diverse group of learners and insure that all are able to successfully meet our state's high stakes standards. While teachers are eager to rise to the challenge of high standards they must receive professional development that is wellintegrated into the larger organizational goals of their schools and systems. Findings of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education indicates that there are three essential components of effective staff development for teachers: 1) Teachers must be involved in planning their own learning experiences; 2) Staff development must link teachers to a larger "learning community" that can bring in expertise and ideas to complement their work; and 3) Staff development must be balanced between meeting the teachers individual needs and advancing the organizational goals of their schools and districts.
On the other hand, school leaders must be able to lead in a dynamic environment to craft their school's mission working closely with parents and faculty. Improving student achievement must drive that mission. Ultimately, the leadership must be able to identify the unique needs of the student body and develop a schoolwide strategy that encompasses what happens both inside and outside of the classroom. Fundamentally, today's school leaders must also be instructional leaders. Accordingly, they require staff development that helps them to develop and hone the

skills necessary to insure the success of everyone in their school, students and teachers alike.
Appropriately, in the FY 2002 Amended Budget Governor Barnes recommended $250,000 for a statewide evaluation of staff development. This evaluation will identify the various types of staff development currently provided and determine their respective impact on student achievement. The findings of the evaluation will be used to set new standards that tie teachers' staff development directly with the larger mission of their schools and also ties recertification requirements for all educators with staff development that improves student achievement. Pending the results of the evaluation Governor Barnes reduced staff development in the FY 2002 Amended Budget by limiting funding to 1% of certificated salaries. The evaluation will continue into FY 2003. As findings from the evaluation are released, Governor Barnes will recommend a reinstatement of staff development funding but according to a new set of standards and criteria. In FY 03, the Governor recommends funding staff development at 1.1% of certificated salaries.
In an effort to develop more effective school leadership, last year the Governor provided $150,000 to the Professional Standards Commission for the development of a statewide Leadership Institute for educational leaders. Since that time, a Coordinating Board for Georgia's Action Plan in Educational Leadership has been formed, and funding from the Gates Foundation for $2,970,000 over 3 years for the development of the Institute has been secured along with an additional $5,137,489 anticipated from other private sources. The first class is exp ected to receive training in March 2002. In order to insure that the state's approach to educational leadership is comprehensive and consistent the Governor is recommending that the Leadership Academy, currently operating at GDOE be folded into the new Leadership Institute. Funds have been provided to allow the three groups currently receiving training to complete their respective programs. In the FY 2002 Amended and the FY 2003 budgets, Governor Barnes recommends funds to match the Gates Foundation grant in the amounts of $499,000 and $1,039,348, respectively.
NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION The National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS) provides a clearly articulated set of standards for what teachers should know and be able to do in their respective fields. Its credential, National Board Certification (NBC), is hailed as the most rigorous and respected credential of the profession. Teachers, administrators, and elected officials alike suggest that the application process alone improves classroom performance. The NBC process emphasizes those components that research has consistently identified as central to improving teacher quality: reflective practice, collaboration with peers, and performance-based assessment.

162

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

Acknowledging NBC as a corollary to improved teacher quality and a prestigious signature of professional accomplishment, Governor Barnes initiated a sustained commitment to recognizing and increasing Georgia's pool of National Board Certified teachers. Governor Barnes minimized the practical and financial barriers to applying for NBC by providing technical assistance for Georgia's NBC candidates via the Georgia Teacher Center housed at Kennesaw State University (FY 2001), and providing a $1,000 stipend for all teachers who succes sfully pass the PSC screening process (FY 2002) to help offset the $2,300 application fee. Candidates that do not pass the screening process are provided technical assistance via a precandidacy institute to insure that they are ready to enter next year's application process. Governor Barnes also worked closely with the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education (GPEE) and PSC to raise additional private funds that assist these teachers in paying a portion of the remaining $1,300.
Governor Barnes provided the support and issued the challenge that by 2004 Georgia would have 1,000 NBC teachers. Georgia's teachers have responded in-kind indicating that they are equipped to rise to the challenge. In November of 2001, with the announcement of the most recent set of teachers to achieve National Board Certification, Georgia scored high marks increasing its pass rate from 41% to almost 50% and tripling its pool of NBC teachers from 116 to 426. With a total of 310 new NBC teachers, Georgia had the seventh highest number of successful candidates of all the states in the 2001 certification results. In FY 2003 Governor Barnes recommends $1,838,490 to provide a 10% salary supplement for 426 teachers based on their annual salary. This 10% salary supplement is a policy shift that increases the financial incentive for teachers who achieve National Board Certification. Since 1994, it has been the state's policy to provide a 10% salary supplement the school year after the teacher achieved certification. In following years, that amount of the supplement would be held constant. Governor Barnes' new policy will effectively provide an additional 10% of a teacher's salary every year. As the salary increases over time, so will the supplement. The Govenrnor is also recommending an additional $234,000 isto provide an application stipend for a new group of teachers to participate in the NBC application process.
TEACHER SALARIES Better salaries over the long term should attract higher
quality teachers. Georgia now ranks first in the southeast in average teacher salary and beginning teacher salary. North Carolina ranks second in the southeast with the average teacher salary at $39,419, which is $1,604 below Georgia's average teacher salary. Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina are approximately $4,300 below Georgia's average salary. Georgia counties that border these states are seeing an increase of qualified out-of-state teachers

coming to teach within the state. Georgia ranks 8th nationally in actual average beginning BA teacher salary ($30,402). For 2001-2002, Governor Barnes and the General Assembly provided a 4.5% increase in the base salary for teachers, which was the highest percentage increase in the Southeast.
In 1995, Georgia adopted two goals regarding average teacher salaries - being first in the southeast and reaching the national average. In 1992, the average salary of Georgia public school teachers trailed Florida, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. Virginia was ranked first in the southeast with the average teacher salary $2,200 over Georgia's salary. By the 1998-1999 school year, Georgia's average salary surpassed Virginia's by over $2,100. From school year 1995-96 to 1999-2000, the average teacher salary in Georgia rose from $32,291 to $41,023, an increase of 27%. During that time, Georgia's average teacher salary went from 88.2% to 98.3% of the national average. According to the National Education Association, Georgia ranks 17th nationally in average salaries of public school teachers. When adjusted for the cost of living, Georgia's average teacher salary jumps above the national average salary and ranks 11th nationally. Georgia ranks 5th in the percentage change (47%) in average salaries of public school teachers from 1989-90 to 1999-2000.
Governor Barnes recommends a 3.5% increase to the state base salary on the teacher salary schedule. This

K-12 SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION

PM SERVICES FOR HB 1187 CONSTRUCTION The Governor's Education Reform Study Commission
Facilities Subcommittee (GERSC) studied school planning,

163

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

design, and construction. Out of these studies came key recommendations for the Governor. In partnership with the General Assembly, the Governor has implemented certain specific recommendations of the Commission and Facilities Subcommittee. Among the key recommendations are the following:
Make more technical assistance available to local systems as needed in planning, pre-design, design, and construction;
Make best practices accessible to all local systems; Establish information system and standards for
reporting total cost data; Adjust the state's cost per square foot for
construction; and Develop a prototypical design school program.
The Governor asked The Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission (GSFIC) to take responsibility for administering a $468 million special appropriation according to rules approved by the State Board of Education, similar to how GSFIC administers bond funds for school construction. However, with the need to build so many classrooms across the state in such a short time frame plus the fact that many systems will be building for the first time in decades, GSFIC has retained a Program Management (PM) team to assist the Commission and local school systems with planning, design, and construction of HB 1187 related construction for K-12 public school facilit ies.
The GSFIC Program Management team will implement the key recommendations of the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission. The PM firm will provide every system in the state 40 hours of technical assistance per year. Technical Assistance is available in all areas of facility planning, design, construction, and maintenance. In addition, if a system chooses, the PM firm can assist a local system from start to finish on a construction project or on just the planning and design aspects or in managing construction. The GESRC found that many school systems that do not have an on-going construction program appear to need more assistance in the planning and design of schools. Through the PM firm these services are now available to all systems, however, school systems that are poorest or build infrequently are receiving top priority for the PM services provided.
As part of the GSFIC services provided, the PM firm will track all projects funded from the HB 1187 special appropriations. The reporting system will help establish statewide standards for reporting construction cost data and provide all stakeholders information on the progress of any HB 1187 funded project in the state.
State Board of Education responded to the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission's recommendation to

increase the state reimbursement per square foot to be closer to the actual cost of construction. Starting in FY 2003, the new reimbursement per square foot, including fees and contingency funds, brings the state share more in line with the average minimum cost of school construction in the state. The cost per square foot allowed for a new elementary school has been increased from $49 per square foot to $54, a new middle school from $51 per square foot to $56, a new high school from $53 per square foot to $58 and any addition from $49 to $61 per square foot. Systems are eligible for an additional 11% per square foot for architect fees (capped at 6%) and contingencies at 5%. The historical construction data shows that the square foot cost of additions is higher than square foot cost new schools. After adjusting the reimbursement rate for additions to bring it more on par with the actual cost of construction, square foot reimbursement rate increases by 24 percent. Similarly, after adjusting the rate for new schools to be more on par with the cost of construction, the increase is an average of 10 percent.
A final recommendation of the GERSC was to develop a prototypical school program. The commission realized the benefits of using prototypical designed schools because each time the same design is constructed, problems in the design and materials are identified and corrected. This year, through the GSFIC, the Governor instituted a prototypical school design program and library. Under this program school systems are eligible for a 2% reduction in their required local match for state funds. To qualify as a prototypical designed school, the school must have been built two or more times within Georgia, have a similar layout, and the facility gross square footage and number of classrooms cannot vary by more than 10 percent. The plan must meet the minimum square footage requirements for all rooms and spaces set by the Georgia Department of Education. Currently, GSFIC is reviewing potential plans for certification as state approved prototypical designed schools. School systems are anxious to build a prototypical designed school because the approximate cost is known, most of the problems in the design have been corrected, and the system saves considerable local funds both in its local match and in architect fees.
Additional Funding for HB 1187 Projects The A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 lowered class
size for all grades. The new class size requirements will be fully phased in by 2004. During the 2001 legislative session, the Governor recommended and the General Assembly appropriated $468 million to help local school systems construct additional classrooms to meet the lowered pupil/teacher ratios. At the time the $468 million was appropriated, the exact need for classrooms by system had not been identified. Since the Governor announced the special appropriation of $468 million to reduce class size, DOE facility services field consultants have visited each system and analyzed the impact of HB 1187 on class size.

164

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

Through the HB 1187 needs analysis process, each local system evaluated their needs and determined how best to accommodate the smaller class sizes. If a system had previous construction needs, excess classrooms, and/or a declining student population, these dynamics were factored into the final analysis.
All 180 public school systems in the state received a portion of the $468 million, however the funding levels have changed from the initial estimate as expected. In May 2001, the Department of Education modified their original September 2000 estimate based on the data gathered from the local systems. The May 2001 data showed that additional funding would be needed to complete the class size reduction projects because more systems decided to build new schools rather than additions, as originally estimated. Instead of needing $468 million to add the needed additional schools and classrooms, approximately $560 million is needed. Therefore, the Governor is recommending $85 million to complete the state funding for the HB 1187 related class size reduction construction. One of the benefits of this process and the influx of state funding to meet HB 1187 needs is that some local systems are electing to build smaller schools. Rather than add to an existing school and creating a mega-school, local systems are instead building new schools. These systems are not only benefiting from smaller class size, but also smaller schools. Research has shown that these two factors can improve the educational environment for both students and teachers. In many cases, new schools rather than megaschools are also closer to where the students live, which may reduce some transportation costs by keeping the schools in the neighborhoods.
From the FY 1999 Amended to the FY 2003 budget, Governor Barnes has put over $1,180,000,000 in bonds, lottery funds and cash toward K-12 school construction. These funds have helped to build over 11,650 classrooms.
POST SECONDARY OPTIONS
The encouragement of and increasing access to quality postsecondary education should be a primary focus of high schools. High schools that offer challenging academic opportunities help make the transition from high school to higher education more seamless. The Post Secondary Options (PSO) program provides qualified Georgia high school students with the opportunity to earn postsecondary and high school credit while jointly enrolled in a Georgia public high school and a college, university, or technical college. Any student enrolled in a Georgia public high school, who is classified as a junior, or who is at least 16 years old, and meets the joint enrollment requirements of a University System of Georgia or Department of Technical and Adult Education institution, is eligible to participate in the PSO program. The Department of Education maintains a Postsecondary Dual Credit Program Grants Account from

which payments to eligible institutions are made. The current law states that eligible postsecondary institutions are to be reimbursed the lesser of (a) actual tuition and eligible fees or (b) the total amount the students would have earned in equivalent programs in the local school systems for the proportion of the instructional day the students are actually enrolled in the eligible postsecondary instititution.
While most local school officials support the goals of the PSO program, some have raised concerns about the additional administrative costs that local systems incur to implement the program properly. For exa mple, counselors are required to provide general information about PSO to all eligible students and provide academic counseling to students who plan to participate in the program.
The Governor proposes to revise the PSO program to better control the cost of reimbursing post secondary institutions while at the same time providing high schools an economic incentive to continue supporting the program. Public and private institutions would be reimbursed 93.75% of tuition and eligible fees and high schools would be provided an amount equal to QBE indirect for PSO students. The revised PSO program has been implemented in school year 2001-2002. The Governor plans to introduce legislation during the 2002 General Assembly to change the current law to be in line with the revised PSO program.
GEORGIA VOLUNTARY PREKINDERGARTENPROGRAM
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 nation 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. The program receives national acclaim and attracts the interest of other states hoping to emulate the same format. Because of this outstanding program, the state received the Education Commission of the States 2001 State Innovation Award for excellence in policy for offering Universal Preschool.
The Pre-K Longitudinal Study performed by an early education panel of researchers at Georgia State University found that 56.1% of Pre -K participants were judged by second grade teachers to be "extraordinarily good" to "good" in their preparation for third grade. They were most prepared in math, science and language arts. The Office of School Readiness (OSR) that oversees the Pre-K program is also participating in a six state study with the National Center for Early Development and Learning in North Carolina that will evaluate Best Practices and program impact on kindergarten performance.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategies and Services

The Governor is maintaining his commitment to the Pre-Kindergarten Program through his recommendation of $245,186,797 in lottery funding to serve 4-year olds in FY
2003. This funding includes a 2% increase in operating

costs for providers to deal with cost increases. OSR was not required to prepare 5% reduction plans for the prekindergarten program, and its only budget reductions were
in the administration functions.

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 seven members as follows: State Auditor, ex officio; Commissioner, State Merit System, ex officio; Director, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex
officio; One member appointed by the Governor; Two members appointed by the first four members
with five or more years of creditable service with ERS; and One member appointed by the first six members who must not hold public office, not be an ERS member, and have at least ten years of experience in the investment of moneys. The members who are not ex officio members serve fouryear 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 the Teachers Retirement System (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 Attorneys' Retirement System, and the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund as well as certain employees of the Attorney General and Legislative Counsel. The GJRS Board of Trustees consists of the seven ERS trustees plus three 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 four-year terms.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM
PSERS offers a supplemental retirement plan to certain public school employees not covered by TRS. These employees include bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians. The PSERS Board of Trustees consists of the seven ERS trustees plus two additional members appointed by the Governor for four-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 two 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.

171

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 more of the programs managed within ERS. In the 2000 session alone, 13 bills were passed that now affect active

members and/or retirees of ERS systems. For example, Senate Bill 45 gave ERS members the option to purchase up to two 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 coordinate and conduct these 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.
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
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 annual forest fires . 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 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 low cost/lease fire equipment, assistance with training and operations for local fire departments statewide.
FOREST MANAGEMENT
In the area of Forest Management, the commission provides technical assistance and service to private and

industrial landowners. Multiple forest resource management techniques are 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 assis tance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the department conducts the management of 4 state-owned and 2 non-state owned forests.
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.
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.

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

The economic impact from the forest community in the State of Georgia is presently in excess of $19 billion
with direct and indirect employment of 177,000 people. As the recognized leader in the forestry arena, the Georgia Forestry Commission's mission is to enhance the socio-
economic quality of life for all citizens of the state

However, the most valuable component of the states fire mitigation program is the firefighters. To ensure the
protection of these individuals the Governor's Amended FY 2002 Budget includes $167,000 to equip them with additional safety gear. This will allow the commission to
continue their maintenance allotment for the next 3 years.

REFORESTATION
The Commission has grown forest tree seedlings for Georgia's landowners for 85 consecutive years. High quality seedlings available at reasonable costs are provided to replant harvested timberland as well as idle marginal farmland that is producing no or very low economic yields. The Commission seed orchards, working cooperatively within the Tree Improvement Program, provide a reliable source of seed and the opportunity to take advantage of the genetic potential of our trees. In loblolly and slash pine, the program to date has essentially eliminated forking, reduced the incidence of fusiform rust by 60% and improved growth by 10 to 15%. Seed orchards and the Tree Improvement Program are continuing to be successful and are projected to increase growth by 30% while continuing to reduce the negative effects of infection. A 10% increase in volume growth per acre translates to a dollar value increase of $56.8 million to the industry, while a 30% increase will result in a per acre increase in value of $135 million at rotation. These are goals that are realistic and are reachable within the current initiatives that are on the agenda of the Tree Improvement Program. The continuation of supply of high quality, reasonable cost tree seedlings to the forestry community of Georgia is the primary goal of the Reforestation Program.
The primary role of the Forestry Commission is to protect the states 24 million acres of forestland from the destructive effects of wildfires. The current year average

The Commission has an inventory of 19 fixed wing aircraft for fire detection and suppression activities. Additionally, the Commission maintains a commercial helicopter and 3 military helicopters that have been retrofitted to carry water and to support ground fire suppression activities. To further assist in firefighting activities, the Amended FY 2002 Budget includes a UH1H Huey helicopter to decrease the response time to fires across the state. This retrofitted helicopter and others in the fleet are responsible for saving forested land as well as homes and lives.
The Commission, through the Protection Program, provides landowners with firebreak plowing at reasonable costs. Firebreak plowing allows the landowner to do prescribed burning for fire control as well as reforestation and forest management purposes. Each year there are about 25,000 miles of preventive firebreaks plowed for landowners. Georgia landowners are prescribed burning about 1 million acres for forestland annually which reduces the dangers from accumulation of forest fuels, enhances habitat for wildlife, and prepares the site for reforestation activities.
URBAN AND WILDLAND INTERFACE
Georgia's increasing population places entire communities in the vicinity of fire prone forests. Interface is the place where houses and forests meet and the increase of interfacing is causing the Commission to rethink methods of attack and suppression. Equipment

shows an occurrence of 8,810 wildfires annually that burn over 37,000 acres. The average size of wildfires is 4.3 acres. During FY 2001 fire occurrence was up and
Georgia was forced into a State of Emergency due to 5 major wildfires. At this time, there were 98 homes and 208 other wood structures destroyed by wildfire. Drought
conditions since May 1998 have caused an increase in the potential for catastrophic wildfires that damage and destroy not only timber but wood structures as well. The
strategy of the Commission in combating the losses of wildfires has and continues to be based on well-trained crews, good equipment, and quick detection and response
by fire crews. This is accomplished through a very well organized and progressive training program, maintaining 140 county unit offices for quick response, and the
maintenance of 341 pieces of firefighting equipment.

that has water capabilities is being inserted into the

suppression forces of the Commission and training to

handle interface fires has been a priority the past several

years. Cooperation with local rural fire departments has

been a long-standing rule with the Commission and the

interface problems make this even more important. The

Commission has as an initiative in the near future to

perform risk management assessments for all Georgia

communities.

The assessment will include

recommendations for mitigation of the threat of wildfire

in interface areas.

RURAL FIRE DEFENSE
There are some 1,333 fire trucks that have been provided to local fire departments across the state at costs Forestry in Georgia is now a 19.7 billion dollar industry.

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION - Strategies and Services

The Commission continues to fabricate and make available to communities structural firefighting equipment at very reasonable costs to the community. Availability of this equipment not only provides protection to the community but also results in decreased homeowners insurance costs through lowered rate structures because of the close proximity of the fire fighting equipment.
FOREST MANAGEMENT
The primary function of the forest management program is to direct the activities of professional foresters who provide technical forestry assistance to private landowners. Activities of the Forest Management Program include reforestation, site preparation, management plans, timber marking, silvicultural advice, consulting forester referrals, insect and disease program, Tree Farmer assistance, timber stand improvement, natural regeneration, prescribed burning, rental of forestry equipment, and marketing of forest products. Foresters provide technical assistance to private landowners in establishing various forestry practices for federal costshare incentives through the Forest Incentives Program (FIP), Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Stewardship Incentive Program (SIP), Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP), Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP), and Georgia Reforestation to Enhance Environment Needs Program (GREEN). Forest Stewardship assistance encourages and enables nonindustrial private landowners to practice better stewardship of their wetlands including timber, wildlife, soil, water, historic, scenic, and recreational resources.
The detection and control of forest pest and diseases is another function of the management program. This is accomplished by conducting aerial surveys annually across the state, maintaining permanent forest health plots for annual field inspections and assessments, followed by intensive forest health evaluations with landowners where damage exceeds 5,000 acres.
Through annual contracts with the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of the Department of Natural Resources, 11 district water quality foresters under the direction of a state coordinator provide educational and technical assistance to the forest community in promoting the use of Best Management Practices (BMP). Additionally, they investigate and mediate forest water quality complaints on behalf of the Environmental Protection Division and conduct Best Management Practices compliance surveys in order to meet federal Clean Water Act, Section 319.

FOREST EDUCATION
The Forest Education Program provides education to students and educators, advances the capability of local governments, non-profit organizations, and the private sector to create and implement local programs that will sustain and improve community forest resources. Additionally, the program addresses the need for understanding of economic and environmental benefits of community forest resources and forest resource related issues that arise from urban sprawl and administers the federally funded Urban & Community Forestry Assistance Grant program for 30 to 55 Georgia communities each year.
The education program compiles and analyzes data that serves to describe and quantify the actions and impact of timber harvesting, product flows, and volumes of individual species. Increasing media contacts through radio, TV, newspaper, and electronic transfer producing high quality, reader-friendly, and informative publications will all serve to bridge the gap between the forest resource arena and the public. Development of educational forest and programs, increasing Project Learning Tree workshops, increased outdoor classroom activities, emphasis on Georgia Forests Forever CD-ROM and use of a Mobile Classroom, and additional on-the-ground visits by students, teachers, and other Georgia citizens will provide hands-on avenues to better inform and educate Georgia's citizens on the importance of forests and forest resources of the state.
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.
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.

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 844 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 Genera l 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 division 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.
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.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COUNCIL In addition to administering the Drug Control and
System Improvement Grant, numerous other Federal Grant programs, and the State's Crime Victim Compensation Program, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, an agency attached to the bureau for administrative purposes, serves as a statewide clearinghouse for criminal justice information and research, and disseminates information to criminal justice agencies within the State of Georgia.
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 continue to become more complex. Local and federal agencies look to the bureau to provide skilled agents for their expertise in 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.
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 DOFS is the single source for forensic services available to the criminal justice community in Georgia.
Currently, the division serves the entire state of Georgia through a headquarters laboratory and 6 regional laboratories. The 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.
Backlog of Forensic Services The Division of Forensic Services continues to focus
on reducing the current backlog of services and meeting the 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 1992. The backlog accounted for 1,400 cases. Compared to FY 1999 backlog of 35,857 cases, FY 2001 represented a reduction of 34,457 cases. In addition to the dramatic reduction of the backlog, the bureau was able to complete 109,900 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.
New Crime Laboratories and Morgues In recent years, Governor Barnes has provided capital
funding to assist the bureau in its endeavor to attack its

Within the next year, construction will be finished on a number of new laboratories as well as morgues. In the summer of 2002, it is expected that the Eastern Crime Lab in Augusta will open as well as the New Headquarters Lab annex and Morgue in Atlanta. In late 2002, construction of the Coastal Regional Crime Lab and Morgue Annex in Savannah as well as the Central Regional Crime Lab in Macon will be completed. The North Georgia Regional Crime Lab and Region 8 Investigative Office broke ground in October 2001 and construction is under way. The South West Lab and Morgue in Moultrie is expected to be completed in the spring of 2003.
The completion of these labs and morgue annexes will greatly reduce the burden on the Atlanta (headquarters) Lab and Morgue to provide services to communities located far from the Atlanta area. They will also reduce caseloads and backlogs currently at the Headquarters Lab.
CRIME INFORMATION 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

187

GEORGIA BUREAU OF IN VESTIGATION - Strategies and Services

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 that the individual is permitted to possess a handgun or long gun.
In FY 2001, the Georgia Crime Information Center processed 207,221 transactions and 9,504 were denied. This represented a decrease of 30,324 transactions or a 12% decrease from the previous fiscal year. In FY 2000 the center processed 237,545 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 providing investigative leads or positive identification of a suspect.
Remote sites, where AFIS workstations are communicating with the bureaus' AFIS, are capable of sending and receiving electronic fingerprint images and making fingerprint identifications remotely. Currently, there are 18 sites where AFIS remote terminals are installed.

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 7,700 terminals on the CJIS Network. During FY 2001, the system processed 148,000,000 messages.
Victim Protection Order Registry As a result of the 2001 General Assembly action, the
Georgia Crime Information Center is in the process of implementing a registry of all Georgia protection orders. The Georgia file will tie to the National protection order file and will provide for a centralized database for the state protection orders. The registry will provide for 24-hour information for officers and will result in the enhanced safety of citizens and police officers involved in situations involving potential domestic abuse and other violent altercations.
Sexually Violent Offender Program The Sexually Violent Offender Program registry was
enacted by the 1996 Georgia General Assembly and became operational during FY 1997. Since that time, the GBI has registered 5,031 offenders with 1,243 added during FY 2001. As a public service, the bureau launched a web site on the internet in FY 1998 allowing citizens to perform a query of the registry. During FY 2001, the registry section of the web page received over 3,046,278 hits.

The GBI receives fingerprint images electronically from law enforcement agencies able to transmit images directly into the bureaus' AFIS via a Live Scan device.
Fifty-four agencies transmit images and data electronically to the GBI. These agencies provide arrestbooking services to many other agencies in their area. In total, electronic images are received from over 231 agencies.
The AFIS database files currently total 2,299,819. Tenprint files store 2 thumbs for each offender and a total 1,155,919 people. Latent cognizant files total 1,143,900 people and represents 10 fingers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,880 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 35% of the judicial data to GCIC.

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" or through the bureau's Website. In FY2001, over 28,000 hits were made against the bureau's website for UCR statistical data.
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 10 agents, a child abuse specialist and a crime scene specialist. In FY 2001, the entire investigation division conducted investigations on 10,567 cases, which compiled a total of 368,605 investigative hours.

as 3 intelligence analysts to work with other agencies at the Georgia Information and Sharing Analysis Center. The center will be established to collect, evaluate, and then distribute terrorist threat analyses related to public safety information to local, state, and federal agencies; educational institutions; private sector interests; and other appropriate entities.

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.

Persons 36%

Property 14%

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.

Drugs 30%

Other/Misc. 20%

Regional Drug Enforcement Offices 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 2001, the regional drug enforcement offices accounted for 834 drug investigations,
which resulted in $17.6 million of seized contraband.

Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces
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
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.

Information from intelligence files is disseminated upon request to all law enforcement agencies. In FY 2001, the Intelligence Unit processed 14,752 requests for information. 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 688 cases. Currently they have 122 active cases. The unit recovered $36 million with another $3.6 million to be paid to the Georgia Medicaid Program.
During FY 2001, the bureau received 177 referrals to investigate allegations of patient abuse or neglect. In the FY 2003 budget the bureau has requested and Governor Barnes is recommending that this unit be expanded by 10 positions to concentrate on patient abuse and neglect.

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 60
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 2001, the force made 4,110 arrests; seized $18,205,878 in drugs and $2,470,162 in property; and made
$1,371,259 in forfeitures.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COUNCIL 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 is responsible for administering and coordinating other programs that are of service to the citizens of Georgia.
Crime Victims Compensation Program The Georgia Crime Victims Compensation
Program was established to provide financial assistance to

189

GEORGIA BUREAU OF IN VESTIGATION - Strategies and Services

innocent victims of violent crime. During FY 2001, the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program received $1.4 million from the Federal Victims of Crime Act Grant. The Program received 2116 claims and provided financial assistance to more than 1800 victims and their families. In addition, crime victims were awarded $4.7 million during FY 2001. Victims may be eligible for assistance with incurred medical, mental health counseling, and funeral expenses or loss of economic support, as a result of the crime. 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, increased outreach efforts, and statewide victim conferences.
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 that improve the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system, are eligible for funding.
A total of $42.3 million was made available in FY 2001 from the US Department of Justice for the following related programs: Edward Byrne Memorial Crime Control and System
Improvement Grant Program Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Violent Offender Incarceration/Truth in Sentencing
Grant Program Victims of Crime Act Grant Program Stop Violence against Women Act Grant Program Georgia Statistical Analysis Center.
The Edward Byrne Memorial Crime Control and System Improvement Grant (Byrne) Program's primary purpose is to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system with emphasis on violent crimes and serious offenders and to enforce state and local laws. The federal government awards the grant to Georgia's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for distribution to state agencies and local units of government.
The Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program provides units of local and state law enforcement with funds for projects designed to reduce crime and improve public safety.

The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program provides funds to assist state criminal justice agencies and local units of 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 (VOITIS) Grant Program provides immediate assistance to state and local governments to contend with the escalating inmate population crisis facing most corrections systems. In FY 2003, the Governor is recommending additional matching state funds of $8,371 for the Governor's Certainty of Sentencing Commission. 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 sentence.
The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Grant Program primarily supports the provision of services to victims (i.e., persons who have suffered physical, sexual, financial, or emotional harm as a result of the commission of a crime) of crime. The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council administers funds to public and private nonprofit organizations (e.g., sexual assault and rape crisis centers, domestic violence programs and shelters, child abuse programs, etc.), as well as criminal justice agencies and other victim services organizations whose sole mission is to provide services to crime victims.
Stop Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Grant Progra m funding assists in developing and strengthening effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent crimes against women, and to develop and strengthen victim services in cases involving violent crimes against women. The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council administers funds to local law enforcement, prosecution, and non-profit organizations that provide personnel training, technical assistance, evaluation, data collection and equipment for the more widespread apprehension, prosecution, and adjudication of persons committing violent crimes against women.
The Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) for the State of Georgia is vital in the assimilation and analyzation of criminal justice research and data. The SAC is the research branch of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council and continues to focus primarily on criminal justice related analysis and "nationally recognized" research reports which have an impact on programs within in Georgia's criminal justice system at the state and local level.

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.
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 divisions--Financing and Investment, and Construction.

FINANCING AND INVESTMENT The Financing and Investment Division has 3
employees who are responsible for issuing the general 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 8 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 Georgia Council for the Arts, 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.
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 is carried out through a comprehensive emergency and disaster 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 passing standards 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, 38, 40, 43, 45, and 46 of the

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Strategies and Services

A wide range of services is delivered by 8 agencies attached to the Office of the Governor, including teacher preparation and certification. The Professional Standards Commission's (PSC) role in National Board Certification, alternative teacher preparation, and the Leadership Institute places it at the center of Georgia's teacher quality strategy.
NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION The National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS) provides a clearly articulated set of standards for what teachers should know and be able to do in their respective fields. Its credential, National Board Certification (NBC), is hailed as the most rigorous and respected credential of the profession. The NBC process emphasizes those components that research has consistently identified as central to improving teacher quality: reflective practice, collaboration with peers, and performance-based assessment.
Governor Barnes initiated a sustained commitment to recognizing and increasing Georgia's pool of National Board Certified teachers. Over the past three fiscal years he has minimized the practical and financial barriers to applying for the NBC by providing technical assistance for Georgia's NBC candidates via the Georgia Teacher Center housed at Kennesaw State University (FY 2001), and providing a $1,000 stipend from the state for all teachers who successfully pass the PSC screening process (FY 2002).
In November of 2001, with the announcement of the most recent set of teachers to achieve National Board Certification, Georgia scored high marks by increasing its pass rate from 41% to almost 50% and tripling its pool of NBC teachers from 116 to 426. With 310 new NBC teachers, Georgia had the seventh highest number of successful candidates of all the states in the 2001 certification results. In FY 2003 Governor Barnes recommends $1,838,490 to provide a 10% salary supplement for 422 NBC teachers based on their annual salary. An additional $234,000 is recommended to provide an application stipend for a new group of teachers to participate in the NBC application process.
ALTERNATIVE PREPARATION In FY 2002 Georgia implemented a statewide
alternative certification program joining the ranks of states like Texas, North Carolina, California and New Jersey that have successfully utilized alternative certification programs. The Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program (TAPP) provides an alternative option of entry into teaching for professionals who already have a baccalaureate degree. Individuals who participate in this

intensive preparation program must begin with a concentrated four to six week summer session, then teach in the classroom for a two year period with careful guidance from a professional teacher-mentor and receive follow up instruction from the TAPP training provider.
In the spring of 2001 with the announcement of the program, Georgians demonstrated their overwhelming concern for our children's education as more than 6000 individuals attended information sessions for TAPP around the state. While initial plans for the program anticipated identifying a pool of 200 qualified teachercandidates, PSC received more than 1500 applicants, and selected a distinguished and diverse group of 753 candidates. Governor Barnes has recommended $65,000 in the FY 2002 Amended Budget to develop a candidatetracking database and to initiate a program evaluation. In FY 2003, Governor Barnes has recommended $1,000,000 for a new group of teacher-candidates and to continue an evaluation of TAPP and the impact of its candidates on student achievement.
LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE Leadership matters. Educational research has
consistently found effective leadership is a critical component of a successful school. As such, school leaders must be able to craft their school's mission working closely with parents and faculty. Improving student achievement must drive that mission. While many are eager to embrace the challenge of education reform few are equipped with the type of professional development that is necessary to guide this change. It was with this understanding that Governor Barnes made a commitment to support and improve the quality of educational leadership in Georgia. In FY 2001, he provided $150,000 to the PSC for the development of a statewide Leadership Institute.
Since that time, a coordinating Board of Georgia's Action Plan in Educational Leadership has been identified, funding from the Gates Foundation of $2,970,000 over 3 years for the development of the Leadership Institute has been secured, and the first class is expected to receive training beginning in March 2002. Accordingly, Governor Barnes recommends $499,000 in the FY 2002 Amended Budget and $1,039,348 in the FY 2003 as a state match to funds provided by the Gates Foundation to continue the support of the Leadership Institute. An additional $5.1 million from private sources is being solicited to support the Leadership Institute. Finally, the Governor is recommending $4.6 million in bonds for the purchase of the Tift College property to be used as the home of the Leadership Institute.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) 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 74,000 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 FY 2000 there were 54,156 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 2000 APS provided protective services to over 12,000 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
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 1.6
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 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 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 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 discharged from the hospitals.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Strategies And Services

SAFE FUTURES Major initiatives are underway to reform child
welfare in Georgia. This reform effort is directed by the DFCS strategic plan called SAFE FUTURES and incorporates major redesign of service delivery through business process reengineering (BPR). The division is using an inclusive process that brings to the table many of the same public and private partners who were involved in the Governor's Child Protective Services Task Force, thus continuing and expanding on the work of the Task Force. The major initiatives addressed in SAFE FUTURES are:
Improved accountability for achieving positive outcomes for children and families.
New community partnerships focused on prevention and early intervention in child abuse and neglect.
Responsive child protective services investigations. Redesigned child welfare practice. Well-trained and stable workforce. Fully developed foster care continuum. Expedited permanency for children in foster care. Integrated information systems to support reform.
A senior DFCS manager who is responsible for ensuring that action occurs and that the required changes are implemented leads each initiative. At the same time the division is implementing child welfare reform, the division is also addressing major program improvement issues identified by the federal Child and Family Services Review. Georgia was the 8th state in the country to participate in the review. Reviews have been completed in 17 states to date and significant problems have been identified in all states. The review in Georgia identified four areas not in substantial conformity with standards. Georgia again used an inclusive approach to both the review and the Program Improvement Plan (PIP) that will be submitted to the federal government. All major partners in child welfare reform are at the table and seeking to assist Georgia with making needed changes to ensure better outcomes for children and families.
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 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 services they need from providers. 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.

232

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES - Strategies And Services

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.
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 over 47%, from more than 115,000 cases in January 1997 to 54,168 in October 2001. However, the decline in cases has ceased and the number of cases overall has risen slightly during calendar year 2001. 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.
From January 1 through October 31, 2001 3,873 families reached the 48-month lifetime limit. Of these, 3,010 received at least one hardship extension and 1,323 were still active due to a hardship extension as of October. 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.
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.
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 importance of early learning and established the goal that "Every child will be ready to learn by Kindergarten". The Governor 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, rather than the rule. 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, 1
in 5 children lives in poverty, and 1 in 10 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 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. The Georgia Early
Learning Initiative (GELI) is a public/private partnership between the Office of the Governor, United Ways of Georgia, Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, and the
Georgia State Chamber of Commerce. Governor Barnes launched GELI to begin exploring the impact of financial incentives on the availability of higher quality childcare.
The GELI recommendations implemented thus far are described below:

INCENTIVE$ provides an education and tenurebased salary supplement to provide pre-school children with more stable relationships and better-
trained teachers.
Teacher Education and Compensation Helps (TEACH) is a statewide scholarship program
supporting early care and education professionals as they begin or continue their education.
Tiered Reimbursement links the rate the state will pay for subsidized childcare to the qualifications and accreditation of childcare providers.

GELI assists in this effort by providing funds to assist

in childcare provider training and in publicizing the

importance of quality childcare.

The tiered

reimbursement system is voluntary and is intended to give

providers the incentive and resources to upgrade and

expand staffing, facilities and curriculum. Training,

technical assistance and tiered reimbursement was

implemented for 5 pilot counties in FY 2002 and are

recommended for expansion to an additional 4 counties in FY 2003.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION SYSTEM (PERMES) AND THE CONSUMER SURVEY
The Georgia Performance Measurement and Evaluation System (PERMES) is a statewide, standardized outcome evaluation and performance management system. Its purpose is to improve the performance and accountability of the state's public mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse system by linking best practices and data to improve outcomes for consumers. PERMES measures outcomes using validated clinical assessment instruments for each disability and annual consumer surveys. The process is guided by a 25-member steering committee consisting of consumers, advocates, providers, and division and department staff.
PERMES data collection initially began in FY 2000. The system was fully implemented in FY 2002 as part of the division's performance-based contracting requirements. Clinical assessment data, designed to document consumers' progress and improvement, are collected on all consumers at appropriate points in service.
An initial set of 19 indicators was selected based on stakeholder preferences and national research standards. The indicators reflect both system-wide and disability specific values and outcomes. Additional performance indicators are under development and will be phased in according to priorities established by MHMRSA and DHR. Each year PERMES conducts a nationally recognized consumer-to-consumer satisfaction 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 disability has its own tailored survey with each having in excess of 25 questions. In FY 2001, 10, 844 surveys were completed.
Routine and special reports are now available from PERMES for strategic planning, on-going operational planning, performance-based contracting, results -based budgeting and federal block grant reporting. An annual PERMES Performance Profile is prepared at the end of each fiscal year. PERMES represents a significant step forward for public accountability and continuous quality improvement. The information encourages policymakers, advocates, consumers, families and providers to ask more questions and strive for better performance.

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.
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.
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. Finally, the division's regional sales and marketing representatives serve to bring the staff in Atlanta closer to the needs and opportunities that exist in Georgia's communities.
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, instate programs and contracts with international representatives in key markets for Georgia businesses. The Trade Division also coordinates the support and operations of the department's overseas offices in Tokyo, Brussels and Munich, which are primarily responsible for business recruitment.
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.
ADMINISTRATION 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 promote 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.

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.
TOURISM RECRUITMENT In FY 2003, the Governor continues the enhanced
level of funding for tourism marketing begun in FY 2001. The FY 2003 budget includes $4,771,175 in marketing funds for tourism. This funding will be used to market Georgia tourism to visitors in the Southeast, in other parts of the United States, and abroad.
In addition, the Governor's Amended FY 2002 Budget includes $1,000,000 for a special tourism marketing initiative aimed at attracting visitors to the state. This initiative is designed to offset any potential decreases in travel in the state associated with the slowing economy and allow the tourism industry to remain a significant economic engine for the state.
These investments build on the strength of Georgia's existing tourism marketing programs. 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.
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 $650,000 in private funding. The

Governor's FY 2003 Budget includes $650,000 in state funds to match these private dollars.
One key aspect of the efforts of the Georgia Allies is the targeting of industry sectors that hold the most promise for Georgia. Georgia Allies' projects and events are aimed at increasing the awareness of key decisionmakers in targeted industries of the value of doing business in Georg ia, 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 events designed to build relationships, focused research projects aimed at building Georgia's capacity in targeted areas, and high level advertising campaigns.
FILM AND VIDEOTAPE PROJECT RECRUITMENT
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 two years. 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.
ONEGEORGIA AUTHORITY
The Governor's FY 2003 Budget includes $65,430,712 for rural development through the OneGeorgia Authority. The authority, created in FY 2001, is the latest tool in Georgia's effort to support local and regional economic development efforts. OneGeorgia, created by Governor Barnes and the General Assembly, utilizes 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 are targeted towards tier 1 and 2 counties, based on the new four-tier job tax credit map, which became 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 provides 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.

participated in funding 5 start-up companies, with every state dollar matched by at least 3 private dollars.

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 funds

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 YAMACRAW MISSION

The Yamacraw Mission, launched in FY 2000, has
brought 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.

The goals originally set for the Yamacraw Mission were substantial. By 2005, the Yamacraw staff was
charged with adding 2,000 high paying engineering jobs in Georgia, locating or seeing established 10 key companies within the state, and increasing fourfold the
supply of venture capital available to fledgling Georgia businesses in this industry sector.

Today, all of these goals have been attained or surpassed. As of December, 2001, Yamacraw had received commitments of 3,100 jobs. Yamacraw faculty
have produced 725 graduates. Sixteen major companies and 8 emerging companies are part of the initiative. Finally, venture capital is on the rise. The seed fund has

The Yamacraw Mission is currently prepared to move to the next phase. This involves expanding previously targeted funding to assist in the commercialization and marketing of the information technology and telecommunications industries in Georgia. One of the goals of the Yamacraw mission is to create recognition of Georgia as a global center in the broadband field. A second goal is to attract IT jobs to Georgia. As the initiative moves forward, the Governor recommends that funds appropriated to the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism for marketing Yamacraw be expanded to market Georgia more broadly as a center for technological innovation and growth.
GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY
The Georgia Port Authority (GPA) operates modern and efficient deepwater facilities in Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia, and provides value added services to facilitate international trade. Inland barge terminals operated under the auspices of the GPA are located in Bainbridge and Columbus, Georgia.
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. During the first six months of calendar year 2001, the Port of Savannah ranked as the fastest growing containerport in the United States. Additionally, the GPA marked another milestone during FY 2001 when it handled over one million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU's), a standard measurement used in containerized shipping. The GPA is among approximately 50 ports worldwide that report annual container throughput levels exceeding 1 million TEU's.
In FY 2001, the GPA handled a statewide total of 12,666,974 tons of cargo. This represents a 4.7% increase in tonnage over the previous fiscal year. The FY 2001 record growth represents the 14th consecutive year that the GPA handled record levels of cargo.
Significant growth in containerized cargo and automobile throughput highlighted the productive year. Container business via the Garden City Terminal represented 76% of all freight handled through GPA facilities in Savannah and accounted for 60.8% of the total commerce handled by the GPA statewide. Automobiles shipped via Savannah and Brunswick facilities increased 12.7% during FY 2001. General cargo represented 19.6% of the statewide total, and liquid/dry bulk cargo also represented 19.6% of the grand total.

243

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM - Strategies and Services

The growth in containerized cargo may be partially attributed to the high-volume import distribution centers and manufacturing facilities that have located in close proximity to Savannah during the past decade. Distribution centers such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, The Home Depot, Lowes, Dollar Tree, Pier I Imports, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Michael's, Best Buy and The Bombay Company are located near Savannah's deepwater container operations. Recent decisions by manufacturing firms to locate near port facilities include J.C. Bamford and Lummus Corporation.
In June 2001, the GPA opened the James D. Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF), a 150-acre container handling and marshaling intermodal complex that provides port users overnight service to Atlanta and expedited rail service to and from the U.S. Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico in three days or less. Container shippers will save considerable time and expense by avoiding local ramps and gaining the benefit of unit train pricing. By providing direct overnight train service from Savannah to Atlanta, the Mason ICTF will expedite containerized cargo to and from destinations like Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans and Houston.
In FY 2001, the Governor committed $6 million in bonds to begin design and engineering for Container Berth 8 (CB 8). This year, the Governor continues funding of the project by $1.2 million in G.O. Bonds to relocate power lines and to allow for future construction on the CB 8 property. Additionally, the Governor recommends $4.1 million in G.O. Bonds to partially fund the purchase of 2 super post-panamax ship-to-shore container cranes. The Governor also approves the redirection of $4 million of the $6 million recommended in FY 2001 for CB 8 to be used toward the purchase of these cranes. Total state funding for container cranes for CB 8 is $8.1 million. The new cranes will be 20 feet higher and the hoist speeds approximately 50% faster than the existing cranes servicing GPA's containerport facility.
Due to the recent economic slowdown, the Governor has asked the GPA to participate in statewide attempts to reduce expenditures. Although the GPA does not receive direct operating funds from the state, it does receive capital projects funded through the state, often on a payback basis. In FY 2002, the state forgave $14,858,000 of the GPA's total payment due to the state of $24,532,000. In the Amended FY 2002 Budget, the Governor decreases the amount of that debt forgiveness by $242,000 for a revised payback amount of $9,916,000.

The Governor will also allow $7,972,000 in debt forgiveness for GPA in FY 2003. This number represents two recommendations. First, the debt forgiveness funds $9.2 million of internal capital projects including the upgrade and overlay of Ports storage areas, the installation of additional truck processing gates, and the construction of a grain tank for the Colonel's Island AgriBulk facility. The recommendation also includes a $1,228,000 decrease to the GPA's debt forgiveness in FY 2003 for the total of $7,972,000.
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 FY 2003 Budget includes $3.8 million to construct a more pedestrian friendly plaza to fill the void over the railroad tracks that are adjacent to the facility. This proposal will extend from the existing plaza location to the new Omni Hotel. The plaza between the Georgia World Congress Center and the Omni Hotel will be a pedestrian friendly addition with landscaping and green space for conventioneers, guests of the Omni Hotel, and the millions of visitors to the state of Georgia each year.
In addition to the new plaza, the Georgia World Congress Center is in the final stages of the construction of The Phase IV expansion. This 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, generating an extra $1 billion annually in economic impact, $53 million in new tax revenues and sustain up to 19,000 additional jobs annually in Georgia.

DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Insurance is accountable for upholding state laws regulating insurance, small loans, fire safety, and manufactured housing. The department organizes its efforts in fulfilling these responsibilities around five divisions as follows.
INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION The Internal Administration Division provides
management, policy direction, and enforcement and administrative support for the department's programs which regulate companies and protect consumers in the areas of insurance, industrial loans, fire safety, manufactured housing, arson investigations, building inspections, and hazardous materials handling and storage. The division's activities include performing accounting, budgetary, personnel, and purchasing duties for all agency divisions. Additionally, the division oversees the establishment and implementation of department policies and procedures.
INSURANCE REGULATION The Insurance Regulation Division is responsible for
administering Georgia insurance laws and regulations. Staff members process applications for insurance companies to conduct business in the state and insurance agent license applications. The division is also responsible for reviewing and approving insurance company life and health and property and casualty policy forms and rates as well as regulating group self-insurance funds.
INDUSTRIAL LOAN REGULATION The Industrial Loan Regulation Division administers
the Georgia Industrial Loan Act by performing examinations of all accounts held by industrial loan

companies (small loan companies making loans of $3,000 or less) licensed to do business in Georgia and accounting for all fees and taxes payable by such companies. Additionally, division staff members process applications for new industrial loan company licenses and investigate consumer complaints.
FIRE SAFETY AND MANUFACTURED HOUSING REGULATION
The Fire Safety and Manufactured Housing Regulation Division administers and enforces compliance with state and federal laws regarding fire safety and manufactured housing. The division is charged with reviewing construction plans for public buildings and manufactured houses and ensuring that the plans meet fire prevention and protection standards. In addition, division staff members process applications for licenses and permits to use/store hazardous or physically unstable substances and materials. The division is also responsible for investigating suspicious fires in the state.
SPECIAL INSURANCE FRAUD UNIT The Special Insurance Fraud Unit investigates, upon
request, claims of fraud against insurance companies. This unit was established through enactment of HB 616 of the 1995 General Assembly with the goal of reducing the occurrence of insurance fraud and the resulting financial burden it places on the insurance industry and consumers.
AUTHORITY State Constitution; Title 45-14 of the Official Code of
Georgia Annotated.

250

DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
Strategies and Services

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT
Approved by Congress in 1999, the federal GrammLeach-Bliley Act (GLB) also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act will significantly impact the insurance industry once fully implemented. The legislation repealed or amended many laws originally passed in the 1930's that affected banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, and other financial institutions. In particular, GLB modifies legal limitations imposed on the specified entities regarding their ownership and affiliations and what products each can offer. Additionally, it establishes important new consumer privacy protections regarding how the entities can use and share personal financial information. Within the Department of Insurance's realm of responsibility, GLB affects the licensing of insurance companies and agents and requirements for financial services holding companies. In accordance with the legislation's emphasis on modernization, successful implementation will require a degree of procedural uniformity among state insurance regulators, which is to be accomplished through heightened use of information technology resources. Due to this requirement and the comprehensive nature of the legislation, implementation is expected to take several years.
CONSUMER SERVICES Consumer services personnel within the department
strive to assist citizens with any insurance concerns they might have. Toward this end, consumer services activities include interceding in claim and other insurance related disputes, educating the general public on a variety of insurance issues through delivery of public presentations and issuance of publications, offering expertise on insurance matters to citizens affected by natural or other disasters, and making referrals to appropriate state and federal programs for resolution of problems beyond the department's purview.
The primary activity of consumer services staff is the investigation of claim disputes. In their efforts to resolve such disputes, investigators interview insurance company personnel, independent adjusters, insurance agents, and the claimant as well as review related documentation. Once all pertinent information has been gathered and analyzed, an investigator reports relevant findings to the parties involved and works with them as a third-party mediator to resolve the complaint.
FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION The fire safety section of the department has created
a variety of educational programs, which aim to inform

citizens of all ages regarding the principles of fire safety. Program goals include limiting the occurrence of fire incidents, reducing fire related deaths, and limiting fire related property loss.
In an effort to teach young children about the importance of fire safety, the section operates two fire safety houses. A fire safety house is a mobile education unit that includes a kitchen, living room, and bedroom. During a demonstration, nontoxic smoke is used to simulate an actual fire situation that is quite realistic for visiting children the bedroom door becomes warm to the touch and the route to the primary exit is blocked. At the fire safety house children are taught to practice exit drills that include alternate escape routes and to crawl low under smoke. A visit to one of the department's fire safety houses could indeed turn out to be a life-saving event.
In addition to teaching children about the principles of fire safety, the fire safety section also coordinates an annual fire safety symposium for local fire safety educators and inspectors. Throughout the symposium, material is presented on state laws, relevant agency rules and regulations, innovative alternative teaching methods, and new developments in the field of fire safety.
MANUFACTURED HOUSING The manufactured housing section, in conjunction
with the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administers 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. Under its 20-year association with HUD, the manufactured housing section enforces this act through inspection and licensing of manufacturers, dealers, and installers of manufactured housing. Before a manufactured housing plant commences 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. In addition, plants already in operation are inspected on a regular basis. Manufactured housing plants and the homes they produce must be in full compliance with all relevant federal and state standards before a HUD label of approval is awarded and the homes are offered for sale. Staff members also inspect manufactured homes on dealer lots for possible damage during transit to the dealer, unauthorized dealer alterations, and various other violations.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created in the 1992 session of the General Assembly. Prior to 1992, the department functioned as the Division of Children and Youth Services within the Department of Human Resources. The purpose of DJJ is to: Provide for the supervision, detention, and
rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody Operate and provide assistance for prevention programs Provide for treatment of juvenile offenders with specialized needs
Aside from internal support services, DJJ carries out its operations through 2 main divisions: Facilities and Community Corrections.
FACILITIES The Facilities Division manages the long-term
rehabilitative youth development campuses (YDC) and the Office of Classification. Youth development campuses are secure state institutions that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services.
There are 2 types of beds that 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 bed is for a child sentenced by a juvenile court to spend 90 days within a state YDC or alternative 90-day program.
The department performs thorough assessments of those youth designated to spend time within the YDC system. DJJ's classification system incorporates risk to self and others, age, size, previous conduct, offense history, special needs, etc. In this way, the department can tailor the services provided the child while ensuring his or her safety.
DJJ currently operates 9 YDCs throughout the state with a total of 1,817 beds. Individual institutions range in size from 120 to 410 beds. In FY 2002, the Wrightsville and Irwin facilities were turned over to the Department of Corrections. Funds generated from the closure of these facilities were used to contract with providers for Assessment and Orientation beds and short-term beds. Future plans include the addition of a 150-bed facility in Muscogee County, which will increase state beds to 1,967 by FY 2005.

Regional youth detention centers (RYDC) 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. A full array of assessment services is provided for each youth detained in an RYDC. In addition, educational, medical, and mental health services are also provided at each RYDC.
The state's RYDC system has a capacity of 1,089 beds. New facilities slated to go on-line by FY 2003 include replacements at Augusta, Crisp, Macon, Gainesville and Rome RYDCs. DJJ has developed an 80-bed prototype RYDC, the first of which will open in Gainesville in March 2002. Other replacement facilities will be patterned after this pilot site. The department will have an RYDC system capacity of 1,359 once all the replacements are in operation.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS The Community Corrections Division is responsible
for the management and oversight of rehabilitative programs located in a non-incarceration setting and the detainment of youth awaiting adjudication from the Juvenile Court that are held in the Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDC).
Community corrections tailors the rehabilitative efforts of the department in an individual manner for each child in its care. Because the youths have a wide variety of problems, an expanded continuum of services must be used. Services in this division include group homes, multi-service centers, non-residential community schools, intensive supervision programs and electronic monitoring. The department contracts for many of these services, as well as for wilderness program slots and specialized residential treatment beds.
This division also contains the court services section. It consists of Juvenile Probation/Parole Specialists (JPPS) who are the case managers of the department's charges and supervise the case throughout its term. They are located in local offices throughout the state. JPPS's provide intake services upon a youth's entry into the juvenile justice system and probation supervision for the courts. 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

ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION The Department is involved in the reformation of
detention philosophy and practices for the purpose of reducing inappropriate detention, minimizing youth failure to appear for court hearings and the number of youth who re-offend prior to the next court hearing and improving the conditions of confinement by reducing the RYDC population. This effort is driven by best practice as well as the plan submitted to the Department of Justice in response to the Memorandum of Agreement. In many jurisdictions, judges and probation staff have only two options when faced with a youth who has been arrested for an offense: they can either release the youth to the parents/guardian or hold the youth in a secure detention facility. The lack of alternatives to secure detention results in premature detention causing increased likelihood the youth will re enter the juvenile justice system at an increased cost to the state. Therefore, the department is coordinating with local jurisdictions to develop alternatives to secure detention that will allow appropriate youth to be supervised in the community while their cases are pending in juvenile court. The use of effective detention alternatives assures that youth 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 such as home confinement, tracking and, emergency shelters. To support this reform, the Department has partnered with the Annie E. Casey Foundation to establish the Georgia Detention Alternatives Initiative.
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. To address this problem, 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 18 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. Improving pay for JCOs by increasing salaries to target has reduced the vacancy rate from 13% in FY 2000 to 8% in FY 2001.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DJJ'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 of instruction.
The cru x of being able to provide appropriate educational services is to accurately determine the educational level of a student quickly upon admission. DJJ has developed a plan to ensure that each youth is tested within 72 hours of admission.
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. Regular and vocational education is an important function of the DJJ educational system; however, special education classes are also becoming a major need among juveniles. 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 YDCs to assist in addressing the needs of youth within the system. DJJ also ensures that all youth eligible for attaining a General Educational Development (GED) certificate have access to appropriate materials.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT The mental health care component of the department is
intended to ensure that all youth within the system receive appropriate mental health care and treatment services. Behavioral Health Management provides oversight in the provision of services required to meet the mental health needs of youths. These 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. DJJ has developed a mental health and suicide risk screening instrument for use in all DJJ facilities. Intake screening is done on each youth admitted into a DJJ facility, which is

260

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE - Strategies and Services

usually an RYDC. Upon admittance to a long-term YDC, each youth will receive a complete mental health needs assessment that is 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 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. In FY 2002, DJJ will define and implement mental health training standards for staff that provide mental health care.
MEDICAL CARE The department ensures that adequate medical care is
provided to all juveniles in its custody. Physician Assistants and 24-hour nursing coverage at state facilities have been added 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 of not only screening, but also 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
24-hour infirmary services, as appropriate
IMPROVE RISK ASSESSMENT AND CLASSIFICATION
The goal of this initiative is to design an integrated assessment and classification process for the department. This includes: Integration of the detention screening tools Risk and need considerations for initial placement
decisions Length of stay decisions Level of security in facilities Level of supervision in community placement
decisions Periodic reassessments tied to placement movements Information available for systems outcome evaluation Review of current assessment processes to identify
gaps in information Duplication in data gathering Integrating summary information from medical, mental
health and education assessments
MASTER PLANNING The purpose of the Master Plan is to assess the DJJ
infrastructure to update or improve the facilities and complement service delivery treatment programs. The Master Plan initiative will include comprehensive evaluations and continuous improvements of the infrastructure to ensure that facilities are well maintained and effectively support the treatment programs. Master Planning in this stage, assumes the responsibility of ensuring that effective planning and consideration have been given to future capital initiatives.
The Master Plan initiative entails the following steps: Develop facility criteria by category and assess
population projection date Make a determination of excess facilities and shortages
by geographic location Develop facility criteria that address justification for
additional capital outlay (e.g., abandoning, refurbishing, etc.) Cost estimates Develop conversion plans (programmatic only) for any facilities that are not adequate or are inconsistent with the strategic goals of the Department Develop specific recommendations for additional facilities, incorporating general guidelines regarding the most suitable geographic distribution

GEORGIA 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 individuals, non-traditional employees, and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality of the labor force in Georgia. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 was designed to replace the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Under the WIA, 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 other state agencies has mi plemented the One-Stop 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.
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, 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 at-risk youth through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program, which offers placement and employment service to migrant/seasonal farm workers, disabled workers, and veterans.

REHABILITATION SERVICES
On July 1, 2001, the Department of Labor became the administrator of the responsibilities and duties of 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 and Social Security Disability Income 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 another 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. Title 30-2 and Title 49-9, Official Code of Georgia Annotated, Public Laws 93-112, 93-516, 94-230, 95-602, 98-221, 99-506, 100-230 and the Social Security Act, as amended.

271

GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Strategies and Services

WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT
The Workforce Investment Act (Public Law 105-220), which superseded the Job Training Partnership Act, was signed into law August 7, 1998. This Act reforms the federal job training programs and creates a new comprehensive approach providing workforce investment activities through statewide and local systems. Authorized workforce investment activities provided at the local level benefit job seekers, dislocated workers, youth, current workers, new entrants to the workforce, veterans, persons with disabilities, and employers. These activities promote an increase in the employment, job retention, earnings, and occupational skill attainment by participants. This improves the quality of the workforce, reduces welfare dependency, and enhances the productivity and competitiveness of the State of Georgia.
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is charged with upholding 7 key principles, which are to streamline services, empower individuals, provide universal access, increased accountability, include a strong role for local workforce investment boards, provide state and local flexibility and improved youth programs
CUSTOMER-FOCUSED SERVICES In upholding the basic tenants of the Workforce
Investment Act, the Georgia Department of Labor is incorporating a customer-oriented approach. This approach is the cornerstone of the department's new strategy of expanding its electronic offerings to become more efficient and cost effective to all Georgians. By increasing its electronic career and training information that an individual can access on their own at career centers or from any other location with Internet-connected computers, customers will have more options for seeking a job.
Career centers are likewise expanding hours so that working individuals are able to improve their careers without jeopardizing their present positions. Staffs at the Georgia Department of Labor and related workforce agencies are cross training in each other's locations to further enhance service access and customer convenience.
ONE-STOP CENTER In creating a more customer-oriented system, locations
are being established in each of the 12 workforce investment areas in the state. The new system will be based on the "One-Stop" concept where information about and access to a wide array of job training, education, and employment services is available for customers at a single neighborhood location. The One-Stop system will interconnect all of the employment-related services the state

offers into a user-friendly system that can help every Georgian have a successful career and that each Georgia business has a skilled employee. One-Stop centers are located in various public and private locations, through federal grants that are provided by the Department of Labor. An electronic connection between the One-Stop centers furthers the commitment of the Georgia Department of Labor, to provide a comprehensive level of service.
WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD
The State Workforce Investment Board was established on July 6, 1999, by Executive Order of the Governor. The Governor appoints members and they officially assumed their duties on December 15, 1999. The Workforce Investment Act Board is comprised of 77 members, with greater than 51% of the members representing the private sector. In the broadest sense, the board is responsible for overseeing the development of a 21st century workforce system that prepares the residents of the State of Georgia for the employment opportunities of the future.
The Governor has also established a Partners' Council that includes heads of state organizations providing workforce development services. This group will support the state board's planning process and ensure linkages among services, guided by a single state strategy. The system will meet the needs of discouraged workers, the unemployed, the underemployed and youth, in addition to workers seeking to improve their skills for sustained career development.
A major component of the Workforce Investment Act is its requirement of performance indicators. There are 17 measures of performance for adults, dislocated worker and youth services. Georgia will use the 17 mandated measures, and workforce agencies are exploring the development of across-the-board system measures for the future. State staff will provide technical assistance to local areas to ensure effective implementation of the system. Local boards and staff will evaluate services to ensure quality outcomes by one-stop operators, training providers and other staff working with customers.
Local Elected Boards Local elected officials will appoint local Workforce
Investment Boards to develop strategic plans for their perspective locales. Employers will provide a business perspective to help shape services in their communities. Labor representatives, community-based organizations and others will assist local systems in the development of service strategies that meet customer needs without unnecessary duplication.

272

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR - Strategies And Services

Youth Boards Each local Workforce Investment Board has a youth
council that is involved in comprehensive strategies for all young people in the state. In this respect, efforts are geared toward ensuring a successful transition from secondary school to additional education and training or employment opportunities, including the incorporation of School-toWork strategies. Community organizations and employers will be the primary contributors to the emerging comprehensive local youth systems.
Employer Services The Workforce Investment Act does not specify any
particular services for employers; however, Georgia plans to build on existing strategies so that local areas can customize services to meet their employers' needs. Enhanced labor market information can keep employers informed of workforce trends, and flexible design of onthe-job and personalized training strategies will help employers hire and retain productive workers. State and regional staff, in partnership with local officials and agencies, assists employers in avoiding layoffs and providing a wide range of assis tance to businesses and the unemployed.
GOODWORKS!
GoodWORKS! is a service strategy, which began as a pilot program in Richmond County, but now is a statewide initiative to help move individuals with significant barriers to employment into the workforce. GoodWORKS! is aimed at serving chronically unemployed citizens, the initiative's focus is on recipients of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) who, under Georgia law, are limited to four years of welfare benefits in their lifetime. Participants are placed on entry-level occupations and they work along with job coaches, who assess their skills in a supportive work environment, they receive promotions and move toward economic self-sufficiency.
GoodWORKS! is not a separate program but part of the larger workforce development system to provide services to targeted customers. The Georgia Department of Labor provides or coordinates with this program a full continuum of services, which are as follows: Comprehensive Assessments; Job Search Workshops; Development of sites for the activities of Unsubsidized
Employment, Subsidized Employment, and Subsidized Work;

Referral, Placement and Monitoring of customers in the activities of Job Search, Unsubsidized Employment, Subsidized Employment, and Subsidized Work;
Subsidized Work (formerly known as work experience) which includes temporary placements with both private and public employers for individuals who are determined not ready for unsubsidized employment;
Unsubsidized Employment, either part-time or fulltime, with wages paid exclusively by the employer without subsidy; and
Intensive Services for customers who have multiple barriers to employment that requires an intensive service strategy.
DIVISION OF REHABILITATION SERVICES
The Division of Rehabilitation Services transferred from the Department of Human Resources to the Department of Labor on July 1, 2001. Rehabilitation Services of the Georgia Department of Labor provides opportunities for work and personal independence for Georgians with dis abilities. The largest program is the state and federally funded Vocational Rehabilitation Program. Its mission is to help people with disabilities to go to work. Vocational Rehabilitation 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 Service's 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.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Law, headed by the Attorney General, provides legal representation and advice to the departments, officials, and employees of the Executive Branch of state government. The Attorney General is a constitutional officer elected to a 4-year term in the same general election as the Governor.
DUTIES The Attorney General and the Department of Law
attorneys under his direction represent the state in civil and criminal cases, in all capital felony actions before the Georgia Supreme Court, in all actions before the United States Supreme Court, and in actions against district attorneys.
As the chief legal officer of the state, it is the duty of the Attorney General to provide opinions on any question of law involving the interests of the state or duties of any department. It is also the responsibility of the Attorney General to prepare and review contracts and other legal documents in which the state is interested and draft proposed legislation or rules and regulations for state departments.
When directed by the Governor, the Attorney General may investigate the affairs of any state department or the official conduct of any state official or employee, or the

affairs of any person, firm, or corporation for violations in their dealings with the state.
Additionally, the Department of Law houses and operates the State Law Library. This is a non-circulating law and legislative reference library that state government personnel and the general public may utilize.
DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION The Department of Law is organized into five legal
divisions and an operations division, both of which are headed by the Attorney General division. The specialized legal divisions Regulated Industries and Professions, Commercial Transactions and Litigation, Criminal Justice, General Litigation, and Government Services and Employment provide a full range of legal services to state departments, agencies, authorities, boards, bureaus, commissions, and institutions. These Executive Branch entities reimburse the department for litigation expenses incurred, such as court costs, witness fees, filing costs, and reporting costs.
AUTHORITY Article 5, Section 3 of the Constitution of the State of
Georgia; Title 45, Chapter 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

279

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 106 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 2001, the department opened files associated with over 8,300 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 $26 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 3 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 3 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, the Lottery Corporation, and the 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 United 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 2 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.

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.
SB 635, which the General Assembly approved during the 1996 session, decentralized the state's personnel administration system. The legislation transferred responsibility for a variety of personnel recruitment and administration duties from the Merit System to state agencies.
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner's Office provides overall
direction, leadership, and management of the agency. Functions covered by the office include legal services, marketing and public relations, and policy analysis and development. The office also coordinates requests for proposal processes for statewide benefit plans and contract negotiations and management.
ADMINISTRATION AND SYSTEMS The Administration and Systems Division furnishes
administrative and technology support to the Georgia Merit System and, to a lesser degree, other state agencies. Administrative services provided by the division include budgeting, financial services, mailroom operations, purchasing, and strategic planning. Technology services provided by the division include long-range information planning, design and maintenance of the FLEX system that supports the Flexible Benefits program, and design and maintenance of custom applications (PM Tools, Atlas, etc.) used by the Georgia Merit System and other state agencies.
COMPENSATION AND STAFFING The Compensation and Staffing Division assists state
agencies with recruiting, hiring and retaining employees who will get the state's business done for the best dollar value. Staff members perform job market research and analysis, develop and implement equitable pay and

rewards processes, design and administer competencybased screening procedures, and develop and maintain model processes. This section is also responsible for conducting evaluations of agency personnel practices pursuant to Act 816.
CUSTOMER SERVICES The Customer Services Division is responsible for
managing the state's charitable contributions, employee recognition, and employee suggestion programs. In addition, staff members provide counseling and education on equal employment opportunity and management and employee relations issues. Employees of the division also assist state agencies with general human resource services such as personnel policy consultation and rule interpretation.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Employee Benefits Division administers the
Flexible Benefits Plan available to state employees. The plan includes benefits such as group term and dependent life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, dental insurance, disability insurance, legal insurance, and medical and childcare spending accounts. Staff members maintain employee eligibility records, monitor contractors, and work to improve benefit plans and products.
TRAINING AND ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT
The Training and Organization Development Division is responsible for providing training and workforce development assessments, production and delivery of skill-based employee training programs, management training on the state's pay for performance and results -based budgeting processes, and assistance to agencies in development and implementation of customized performance improvement strategies. This section also coordinates agency use of the Georgia Merit System Training Center.
AUTHORITY Titles 20 and 45 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

285

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. Since the enactment of SB 635 in fiscal year 1997, the Merit System has evolved from its traditional role as the central personnel administration authority for state agencies to one of consultation, technical support, and review. This new role is reflected in the following review of a sample of the system's current strategies and services.
WORKFORCE PLANNING A major initiative for the Georgia Merit System is to
facilitate the development of a Workforce Planning Strategy for state government. Workforce planning is the strategic framework used to examine workforce dynamics such as turnover, diversity, and worker competency gaps in an effort to develop cohesive approaches for the remedy of issues.
During the 2000 session of the General Assembly, the Governor and the Legislature recognized the benefits of a strategic planning approach for development of the state's workforce and asked each agency to use such an approach on an annual basis. In its role as lead agency in this initiative, the Merit System has developed planning guidelines with the assistance of an interagency committee of select department heads and their designees. System staff worked closely with Office of Planning and Budget and Georgia Technology Authority employees to present an integrated process for strategic planning in January 2001. Agency staffs were trained during the legislative session on the first phase of the workforce planning process and 56 agencies later submitted plans.
In this first year of implementation, trends and issues have been noted that require immediate attention to ensure that state program outcomes are not jeopardized. Agencies uniformly report being affected by the same labor supply and demand dynamics found in the private sector. These include an aging workforce coupled with a decline in the number of people entering the workforce, an increasing number of jobs requiring more complex technical skills, and increasingly competitive salaries. Successful workforce planning will enable agencies to address the challenges identified before they become fullblown problems.
TOTAL REWARDS COMPENSATION Compensation is often viewed as the rate of pay only.
However, as the workforce changes and the labor market tightens, employers in both the public and private sectors are being forced to look at the total compensation or rewards package this includes base pay, benefits,

incentive and bonus pay, and work/life issues. The combination of these four variables is referred to as Total Rewards. While monetary values cannot be assessed for
work/life issues, they can be assessed for the remaining three components. Employers must be familiar with the value of these variables in their own organizations and
how this compares to the value of Total Rewards packages offered by competitors. This is especially critical in today's labor market in which a substantial
portion of the current workforce is of retirement age and competition is fierce for both "generation x" employees and returning retirees. The Merit System is currently
taking several steps in order to effectively address Total Rewards issues facing state agencies. These include engaging an outside consultant to complete a Total
Rewards assessment for state jobs, developing an incentive award program, and implementing a pilot program on benefits planning and education.

DIVERSITY

The Georgia Diversity Initiative was recently created

and implemented in order to develop a workplace that is

inclusive and meets the varying needs of its diverse

members and to attract, develop, and retain a highly

competent, diverse workforce and a cadre of vendors and

service providers. To lead the way towards achievement

of these objectives, the Georgia Diversity Advisory

Council was established.

The Merit System

Commissioner chairs the council and members are

currently working on several strategic interventions that

are critical to the success of the diversity initiative.

E-GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
The Merit System fully supports the Governor's mandate to move the state's business processes to webenabled applications. The agency is seizing the
opportunity to streamline business processes and make information more readily accessible to the public and to agency customers. Included in the current fiscal year
appropriations were enhancement funds for the ELearning project, which is designed to provide state managers and employees more training and development
opportunities not limited by time or location. A customized web course for training state managers on Performance Plus will serve as the initial e-learning
option available to agency customers. The Merit System continues to offer an on-line application and recruitment system for applicants seeking jobs with the state.
Implemented in January 2000, the web application allows applicants to enter their resume once and apply for multiple positions as they are advertised. The site
displays an average of over 350 job vacancies on any given day and is used by 74 state agencies.

DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Motor Vehicle Safety (DMVS) was established by executive order on July 1, 2001, in accordance with HB 1441. The agency was comprised by transferring $60,538,540 in state funds, $19,996,995 in federal and other funds, 1,364 positions and 324 vehicles. The department was comprised of the Department of Public Safety's driver services function, Department of Revenue's tag and title function, Public Service Commission's roadside assistance function and Department of Transportations enforcement function. DMVS compiled these functions into three divisions: Administration, Operations and Enforcement.
ADMINISTRATION The Administration Division is responsible for the
direction and management of the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety. The function of the division is to provide administrative support for the Operation and Enforcement Divisions. The areas within the division include administrative services, financial services, public information, legal services and information technology.
OPERATIONS DIVISION The Operations Division is divided into 2 sections:
Driver License Services and Motor Vehicle Services. The issuance of driver's licenses, permits and administration of the commercial driver's license program are carried out by driver license services. The department utilizes 48 full testing customer service centers, 21 Kroger renewal centers, 11 travel teams, 10 reinstatement centers, and 4 renewalonly centers. These centers are situated throughout the state. Additional responsibilities include suspension and reinstatement of driver licenses, issuing public identification cards, person's with disabilities parking placards, licensing of driver training schools and instructors, licensing of driver improvement clinics and instructors, certification of ignition interlock devices and provider centers, and school bus safety program certification and inspection. The Driver Services Section strives to provide quality customer service. During FY 2001 the department issued 2,069,525 driver licenses of which 171,408 were out-of-state transfers. Additionally 200,756 identification cards and 99,483 disability parking placards were issued.

The Motor Vehicle Services Section is responsible for providing motor vehicle certificates of title and registration for vehicles owned and operated in the State of Georgia. Responsibilities also include providing motor vehicle certificates of title on mobile homes and manufactured homes. In addition, the section 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 agents for the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety) process registrations, registration renewals and accept applications for the Certificate of Title at their local offices, while Motor Vehicle Services employees manage the statewide operations and purchase and maintain the necessary equipment. The section also trains the county agents and ensures that service standards are being met across the state.
ENFORCEMENT DIVISION The Law Enforcement Division's goal is to reduce
traffic accidents, improve highway safety, and protect the taxpayer's investment in our highways, roadways, and bridges. To accomplish these objectives, enforcement officers utilize truck inspection stations, and roadside inspections to enforce Georgia's commercial vehicle regulations, including the monitoring of hazardous material shipments throughout the State. Currently, there are 350 POST certified positions assigned to DMVS for inspection and weight inspections. Additional responsibilities include the enforcement of High Occupancy Vehicle lanes in the Metro Atlanta area. This is crucial for improving air quality and reducing traffic mitigation for the region. Our officers will also be providing support to the other local, state and federal agencies with hazardous material incident investigations, the Governor's Office of Highway Safety initiatives, Georgia Emergency Management Agency incident management preparedness, and other responsibilities as ordered by the governor. In the future, the Enforcement Division will be involved in the safety of the state's children by providing annual inspections of Georgia's school buses.

DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
Strategies and Services

The Department of Motor Vehicle Safety (DMVS) was established by the passage of House Bill 1441 during the 19992000 legislative session, and by executive order became an entity on July 1, 2001. The department's mission is to modernize and continuously improve the way Georgia conducts motor vehicle safety business emphasizing customer service and convenience. The department's FY 2002 budget was established by transferring driver safety functions from the following agencies: Department of Public Safety (drivers services) 660
positions, 111 vehicles, $36,380,300 in state funds, and $600,000 in indirect DOAS funds. Department of Revenue (tag and title) 300 positions, 12 vehicles, $21,601,680 instate funds, and $1,300,000 in indirect DOAS funds. Depart ment of Transportation (enforcement) 339 positions, 154 vehicles, $15,540 in other funds, and $774,539 in motor fuel funds. Public Service Commission (transportation) 65 positions, 47 vehicles, $1,782,021 in state funds and $2,496,995 in federal funds. By executive order the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety was established as an $80.5 million agency, comprised of 1,364 positions and 324 vehicles.
DMVS headquarters is located in Conyers Georgia. The new headquarters houses nearly 400 of the departments 1,364 employees, and includes a state of the art driver license reinstatement facility.
DRIVER SERVICES SECTION The creation of the Department of Motor Vehicle
Safety brought with it the continued battle of improving customer service. DMVS strives to provide quality customer service at its 48 full testing customer service centers, 21 Kroger renewal centers, 11 travel teams, 10 reinstatement centers, and 4 renewal only centers. In FY 2001, the 94 facilities were responsible for issuing 2,069,525 licenses.
The Governor supports DMVS in their goal to reduce lines and provide quality customer service. The Governor is recommending the departments two-prong attack on correcting the problem. The Amended FY 2002 and FY 2003 Governor's Budget Recommendation provides funding for 4 new full-service drivers license facilities, including 68 positions. These facilities are to be located in Gwinnett, Fulton, Cobb and Dekalb. In addition to these facilities the Governor is providing funds, which will enable the department to fill 44 vacant drivers license examiner positions.

The second approach provides a foundation for the future. Realizing that additional facilities and people will only provide temporary relief, the Governor recommends $3.5 million for the inception of an automated renewal system. The automated renewal system will provide the citizens of Georgia the option of renewing their license via the Internet, telephone or mail-in.
MOTOR VEHICLE SECTION The Georgia Registration and Title Information System
(GRATIS) has been operational since September 1999. The system has helped make a county-based, real-time, online motor vehicle registration and titling program a reality. The system has had early success and has been widely accepted by the employees and county tax agents.
Full implementation of the GRATIS system is expected by the end of FY 2002. The governor has included nearly $10 million dollars to annualize the operating expenses and provide the necessary funding to set-up the remaining 11 counties that have not been connected to GRATIS.
Upon full implementation, DMVS will focus on related projects that will provide the department with additional efficiencies. Initial focus will be on the development and implementation of an integrated GRATIS accounting process that includes check production. Also, the International Registration Plan (IRP) system needs to be upgraded in order to be compatible with GRATIS. The department will also focus on the implementation of an interface, which will enable Georgia citizens to renew their vehicle registrations over the Internet. As DMVS nears the completion of the technical requirements for the interface, a pilot program will be implemented.
ENFORCEMENT The enforcement unit is responsible for the Motor
Carrier Safety Assistance Program. The program focus's on reducing traffic accidents and improving highway safety. Random roadside inspections performed by the enforcement officers have helped to accomplish this objective. The department's enforcement officers perform about 30,000 motor carrier inspections and inspect thousands of vehicles transporting hazardous material in the state.
The enforcement unit is in the process of implementing an electronic screening system. The system reads truck transponders to identify a carrier and then accesses their credentials and safety record and allows the carrier to bypass a weigh station. However, if the carrier comes back as a non-compliant carrier they must enter the weigh station to be inspected.

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

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.
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 2003 budget provides 5th year funding of $1,050,000 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 final year funding of $228,593 in FY 2003 to continue this study, which will cost a total of $1,266,761.
In addition, the Governor includes $619,459 in the FY 2003 budget for the 3rd year of a 4-year Southwest Georgia Ground and Surface Water Interchange Study to provide EP D additional field and pumping data necessary to develop more accurate groundwater flow models and to 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

310

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES - Strategies and Services

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 2003 to support the 6th 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 $9,344,000.
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama are working together to manage shared water resources under federally approved Interstate Compacts. 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. In the FY 2003 budget, Governor Barnes has continued $750,000 in funding for technical and legal contract services to support Georgia's negotiating team.
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 expansion 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 2003 budget continues funding for the Partnership for a Smog-free Georgia (PSG) 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 airmonitoring 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 2003, the Governor continues his support of the State Employee Commuter Assistance Program. The FY 2003 budget includes $100,000 in state funds to match 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.
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 2003, 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 Governor's Amended FY 2002 budget provides $5.5 million to acquire additional acreage at the Chickasawhatchee tract, bringing total acreage acquired

311

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES - Strategies and Services

by the state at that site to over 20,000 acres. The Chickasawhatchee tract, located in Baker, Calhoun and Dougherty Counties, 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.
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 15.3 million people visited Georgia's state parks and historic sites in FY 2001.
GEORGIA AGRIRAMA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Georgia Agrirama, the State's Living History Center, first opened to the public on July 1, 1976. Today,

Agrirama consists of four distinct areas: traditional farm community of the 1870's, progressive farmstead of the 1890's, industrial sites complex, and a rural town. Over 35 structures have been relocated to the 95-acre site and faithfully restored or preserved as they appeared at the turn of the century. Costumed interpreters are on location daily to explain and demonstrate the lifestyle and activities of the period. Each year, additional structures and artifacts are being acquired and restored for visitors to enjoy.
The Georgia Agrirama offers many special services in addition to its regular museum programs. Educational workshops can be scheduled for schools, churches, or scout troops that involve spending a day on the historic site in costume to experience life 1890's style. Overnight camping facilities are available for scouts.
On November 26, 2001, The Georgia Agrirama continued its year-long celebration of twenty-five years as Georgia's official Living History Museum with the groundbreaking of its state-of-the-art multi-purpose education building. This building will house numerous artifacts and educational exhibits that will span well over 100 years of Georgia's history. In the FY 2002 Amended Budget, the Governor recommends $175,000 in G.O. Bonds for equipment and furnishings for the multipurpose building.

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 4 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 backup 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 the Department of 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, computerized 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

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. The practice component is the daily activity performed by parole staff, which addresses the risk and needs of parolees. 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.
The system of supervision enables the Board to allocate its field staff in a more rational and efficient fashion, and to ensure that those parolees who represent a higher risk to public safety receive the highest quality and most intensive amount of supervision. Depending on the district, parole officer caseloads may be as high as 80-90.
The goal of the results driven supervision is to improve outcomes. Identifying and addressing the dynamic criminogenic needs of offenders or needs associated with criminal behavior, which can be changed to improve the outcomes. The Board addresses the needs by placing parolees in specific programs based on their needs to change behavior and help them acquire pro-social skills. Ultimate success would exhibit a reduction in the return to prison rate. The national return to prison rate is 35-40 percent. Georgia's return to prison rate has been consistent with the national average. To measure the success of the program, the board is utilizing the "what works" literature. This literature provides a plan to address risk and needs, to lessen the likelihood that an offender will return to criminal behavior. This is measured by setting and establishing desired outcomes. These outcomes include increasing the employment rate of offenders, decreasing the number of positive drug test and increasing the number of parolees who attain an educational or vocational certificate.
Research identified 4 areas that if impacted may provide a reduction in recidivism. These areas include: substance abuse, education, employment and cognitive traits. The Board has defined a statewide goal and objective for each of these areas.

testing are several conditions of parole that may be established for a parolee.
The employment track requires a parolee to obtain and maintain lawful employment. As a condition of parole, parolees must work full-time, maintain employment and provide verification of employment. Collaborations with the Department of Labor, Department of Corrections, temporary employment agencies and employment readiness classes have contributed to a current employment rate of 88 percent.
The third tract is education. Parolees are assigned goals and objectives to meet in the area of education. These goals are based on the ability of a parolee to participate in one of the following programs: basic literacy / basic adult education, general equivalency diploma program, vocational school program or higher education programs.
Cognitive skills is the forth tract. The cognitive traits track addresses the criminal thinking patterns of the offender and includes the areas of mental health and sex offenders. Paroles participate in cognitive-enhancement programs, mental health treatment programs, sex offender counseling and polygraph testing.
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 needs parolees will be supervised on reduced caseloads and generally be placed on electronic monitoring to ensure that they receive intensive services to remain safely in the community.
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 substance abuse treatment is to increase community safety by promoting the productive, law-abiding, and drug-free lifestyles of offenders.

The goal of the substance abuse track is to abstain from alcohol and other drugs. Treatment is parolee specific. Substance abuse treatment, self help groups and drug

The Board of Pardons and Paroles contracts, through the Department of Human Resources Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse and the

318

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES - Strategies and Services

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.
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 2002, 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.
During FY 2001, the Board initiated an offender funded electronic monitoring pilot program. The pilot required offenders, at their own expense, to contract with a monitoring company to provide necessary electronic monitoring services. The pilot project included nine parole districts, one being rural. Due to the apparent success of offender pay electronic monitoring, the Governor is supporting the Board's recommendation to convert the entire electronic monitoring program to offender pay.
AUTOMATION Clemency Offender Notes System
The State Board of Pardons and Paroles will continue to design and develop the Clemency Offender Notes System (CONS). The system will allow the Board to

migrate from paper documents to electronically stored documents.
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 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 State Board of Pardons and Paroles had
to rely on data gleaned from reports that had been produced manually and then tallied by hand.
This 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 is 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 months.
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.

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 2001, the department's troopers investigated 33,722 accidents, and made 9,195 DUI arrests. These efforts have contributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia.
In FY 2002, 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 75 Troopers. This brought the authorized count for sworn officers in the Georgia State Patrol to 989.
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 176,079 citations for speeding in FY 2001 as part of its ongoing effort to reduce highway speed and save lives.
Driving while Under the Influence Enforcement--The department implements and has a continuum of programs to target the enforcement of the DUI laws. In FY 2001, the department made 9,195 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 73 arrests in FY 2001.
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 2001, 26,508 seat belt citations and 3,660 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 illicit 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.
TRAINING The State of Georgia currently has 50,541 peace

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for regulating public utility 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 pipeline safety and utility facility protection practiced in the state remains high.
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, engineers, information systems specialists, inspectors, and various administrative personnel assists the commissioners in fulfilling their duties. The commission is currently organized into two divisions: the Administration Division and the Utilities Division (the Transportation Division recently transferred to the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety).
UTILITIES REGULATION 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 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 continues to be a hot topic of discussion among policy makers across the country.
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 PSC inspectors work diligently to carry out the
commission's responsibility of enforcing pipeline safety and utility facility protection regulations. The commission's efforts 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.

Georgia; Titles 40 and 46 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, and telecommunications services are available to consumers and reasonably priced either through competitive markets or economic regulation;
Enhance public well-being through the pipeline safety and utility facility protection 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.

providers, resellers, alternate operator service providers, and interexchange carriers.
ELECTRIC UTILITIES The commission has full regulatory authority over two
investor-owned electric utilities Georgia Power Company and Savannah Electric and Power Company which serve approximately 1.65 million customers. In addition, the PSC oversees territorial assignments for all 96 electric suppliers (the two investor-owned companies, 42 electric membership corporations, and 52 municipalities). The commission requires the investor-owned electric utilities to provide integrated resource plans every three years. While electric rates charged by the investor-owned electric companies remain under traditional rate-based regulation, PSC staff members continue to monitor the national debate on electric restructuring and will take action to minimize any adverse effects of future federal or regional actions.

NATURAL GAS DEREGULATION EFFORTS Over the past few years, 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 staff focused on educating consumers about deregulation and the choices they would need to make throughout the process. Although the transformation to a competitive natural gas market began some time ago, consumer complaints remain common and the PSC is still working towards reducing them. A spike in billing complaints in the summer of 2000 prompted the PSC to propose new rules governing gas marketer billing practices. The rules set service quality standards for bill timeliness, accuracy, and comprehensiveness. The commission continues to operate a consumer affairs call center where specialists assist utility customers with billing and other service problems. By tracking complaints, enforcing higher standards, and providing vital information to customers, the commission is working to fulfill its responsibilities of monitoring the newly competitive natural gas market and keeping the public informed.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS MARKET The commission has played a significant role in
opening the telecommunications market to competition. Under the state's Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995 and related federal legislation, the PSC has facilitated and managed the transition to competition within the telephone service industry by ensuring reasonable access to services, monitoring rates and service quality, and mediating disputes between competitors. Since competition was introduced, the PSC has certificated numerous alternate local exchange

GAS PIPELINE SAFETY AND UTILITY FACILITY PROTECTION
Thanks to the PSC's gas pipeline safety efforts, 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 commission has jurisdiction over two investor-owned natural gas distribution companies Atlanta Gas Light Company and United Cities Gas Company. Additionally, the pipeline safety unit monitors 323 master meter and LPG operators, 83 municipal systems, 18 direct sales operations, and 5 LNG plants. These systems which together serve approximately 2 million gas customers are comprised of more than 700 miles of transmission pipeline and over 60,000 miles of distribution mains. 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 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, natural gas, telecommunications, cable, sewer, or water utility infrastructure. The commission has established a new unit of inspectors that have the specific role of investigating utility system damage and thereby safeguarding citizens and private property.

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Roles and Responsibilities

The goal of the University System of Georgia, through its 34 public colleges and universities, is to help create a more educated Georgia. The System accomplishes this goal through a triple mission of instruction, research and public service. In fall 2001, the System enrolled 217,546 students it's highest enrollment ever. During FY 2001, it granted 34,211 degrees.
The awarding of degrees reflects the System's primary mission instruction that 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, Economic Development Institute, Agricultural Experiment Stations, Cooperative Extension Services, the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and Public Library Services.
INSTRUCTION The System's institutions provide approximately 90
percent of Georgia citizens with access to institutions of higher learning within commuting distance. Thirteen twoyear colleges offer programs leading to an associate degree. Two state colleges offer associate degrees and limited baccalaureate degrees. Thirteen state universities offer baccalaureate degrees, and most offer associate and graduate degrees. Two regional and four research universities offer baccalaureate, masters, doctoral and professional degrees, along with some associate degrees. Four institutions (Bainbridge College, Coastal Georgia Community College, Clayton College & State University and Dalton State College) offer technical programs through an arrangement with the Department of Technical and Adult Education.
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 associated with GRA 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 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. Economic 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.
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 DTA E 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.
AUTHORITY Titles 12, 20, 49 and 50 of the Official Code of

Strategies and Services

Governor Barnes has made education a major priority during his term as the state's top elected official. He recognizes that in today's global economy, a state that ignores its duty to ensure a highly educated workforce will not succeed in the effort to secure the jobs of the new "knowledge economy."
In the University System of Georgia (USG), the Governor has an excellent instrument to ensure that at the college and university level his education goals are met. The state's system of public colleges and universities 4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state universities, two state colleges and 13 two-year colleges has a long history of working to prepare Georgians to assume the duties of both citizenship and the workplace.

Today the University System of Georgia has the highest SAT scores and number of students in its history.

ACHIEVEMENT Under the guidance of the Chancellor and the Board
of Regents, the University System of Georgia has focused
on several areas that have received significant support from Governor Barnes. Many of these initiatives are critical to the future success of the System. Both the
Board of Regents and the Governor have placed considerable emphasis and resources in the areas of system wide higher standards, greater access to higher
education for the citizens of Georgia and statewide economic development.

The top 3 priority major capital outlay projects proposed for funding include: $33.3 million to the Medical College of Georgia for a new health sciences building; $18 million for the Bartow Center at Floyd College once a joint use agreement with DTAE is completed and approved by the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget; $31.8 million for the construction of the Advanced Computer Technology Building at Georgia Tech, a project with an additional $26.4 million in private funds supplementing the total project cost of $61.8 million. The Governor also recommends design funding for the next 4 projects on the priority list which include: $975,000 for the design of the Library addition at Georgia Southern University, $1,235,000 for design of the Social Science Building at Kennesaw State University, $300,000 for a student center at the Clarkston Campus of Georgia Perimeter College, and $690,000 for design of campus utilities improvements at Middle Georgia College.
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 that present unique opportunities for the state or are of major significance for the economic development of the state.
Coverdell Building is a jointly funded project with the Federal Government and private donors. $10 million in state funds is recommended to match $10 million in federal funds and $20 million in private funds to construct a $40 million biomedical and health sciences building. The Coverdell building will house a range of life science research programs that will enable the University of Georgia to become a leading center for research discoveries, training, instruction and the creation of new technologies to impact human health. Last spring the United States Congress and the President appropriated funds to build a facility at UGA as a memorial to the late Senator Paul Coverdell. Governor Barnes is recommending $10 million be bonded as the state's portion of this project. The Coverdell building will be a premier biomedical research and instruction facility.
The Governor is recommending $13,430,000 for the construction of an academic building at Georgia Military College. The amount recommended is based on the predesign funded last year. Any additional costs for this project are the responsibility of Georgia Military College. The Governor is recommending $4.6 million to help purchase Tift College for the Governor's Leadership Institute.
As part of the Governor's efforts to present a balanced budget during these trying economic times,

Governor Barnes is recommending that the Major Repair and Rehabilitation Fund (MRRF), traditionally funded through the Regent's formula, be funded by bonds rather than from the General Fund in the short term. The Governor plans to return this item to the General Fund as state revenues rebound.
Formula Adjustments The formula includes $25,469,913 in additional
funding reflecting a 2.04% credit hour enrollment increase based on credit hours generated in the 2000-2001 school year. The formula also includes $10,323,695 to offset operating costs from 2,277,641 square feet of new building space, $11,989,390 for health insurance rate increases, and a net increase of $1,046,244 to adjust fringe benefits primarily for retirees and the Teachers Retirement System rate reduction applied to student tuition. An additional $17,748,142 is recommended to annualize costs related to health insurance rate increases and to pay claims and maintain an adequate reserve. The Governor is also recommending that formula earnings for continuing education be held at the FY 2002 funding level. Continuing education is a self-sustaining operation and the state should not be continually increasing funding to supplement course fees for costs related to infrastructure and operations. Traditionally, MRRF has been funded from the General Fund and calculated through the formula. This year the Governor is recommending that MRRF be funded with bonds at a reduced level.
Finally, Governor Barnes recommends $30,000,000 in the Amended FY 2002 budget and $27,705,346 in FY 2003 budget in funding to offset enrollment declines experienced by University System institutions as a result of semester conversion. Though enrollments are increasing, the University System credit hour enrollment remains below the 1999-2000 enrollment level. To minimize disruption to operations, the Governor recommends this third 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 Georgia Tech Regional Engineering Program (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

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

difficult to address but are important for the future growth and improvement of the University System.
Accountability The Governor is recommending an additional
$150,000 be added to the development of an assessment and accountability system to develop survey instruments that will collect data for Results Based Budgeting and the Office of Educational Accountability. In addition, the Governor recommends that the University System continue to 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
University research is a cornerstone of economic development in the state. Governor Barnes continues to invest in basic and applied research through programs such as the Traditional Industries Program (TIP), the Georgia Environmental Partnership, Yamacraw, and the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA), resulting in strong economic results.
For example, total National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards increased by 47% between FY 1997 and FY 2000 in Georgia, compared to 31% nationally. According to a recent study, Georgia is among the national leaders in key research areas of engineering (7th), computer science (8th), and bioscience (11th). State funds leverage federal grants as well as attract and create emerging businesses in new scientific frontiers.
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 several years , and Georgia is a leader in the southeast and ranks 10th in the nation in venture capital investment. With the intent to bolster these positive trends, Governor Barnes recommends over $32.2 million in new funding (Amended FY 2002 and FY 2003 budgets) for the Georgia Research Alliance and Yamacraw, the state's premier high tech, science-based economic development initiatives.
Georgia Research Alliance The Georgia Research Alliance is generating
economic benefits to the state. A recent study conducted by McKinsey and Company shows the state's investment in GRA has attracted over $900 million in federal and private funding and created 750 new jobs in Georgia universities. Additional economic gains are being derived as university research is transitioned from the lab to industry. GRA's investment coupled with the federal and private funds has resulted in 75 new start-up companies
367

with approximately 2,000 jobs and $500 million in additional external investment.
The momentum of GRA activities is gathering strength and resulting in economic gains for the state. The Governor recommends support for GRA with $1,500,000 for 3 eminent scholars; one of the eminent scholars will be recruited in the field of neuroscience and will be stationed at the Medical College of Georgia. The second scholar will focus on discovering drugs for specific strains of disease and integrating drug discovery programs at UGA and around the state. The third scholar is in crop genomics and will be based at the University of Georgia.
Another $24,219,000 will provide state-of-the-art equipment for research facilities to move forward the research and development agenda in the areas of advanced communication, bioinformatics, digital content, smart sensor systems, biomanufacturing, next generation gene discovery, and global infectious disease. Of that amount, $6,825,000 will be used as a match for prestigious federal National Science Foundation (NSF) and NIH grants, leveraging over $220 million in federal funds over several years and $40 million in related private grants. 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 $3,231,000 in tobacco funds is recommended for expenditures in the Georgia Research Alliance. Tobacco funds will help fund an eminent scholar and equipment for cancer related research in the areas of neuroscience, bioinformatics and equipment for computational human genetics and genomic medicine. The total GRA funding recommended is $30 million, of which $1,050,000 is in the FY 2003 continuation budget for GRA for technology development partnership programs and GRA portfolio management. The remaining $28,950,000 for GRA is new funding in the Amended FY 2002 budget.
In addition, the Governor's FY 2003 budget recommendation for the cancer initiative includes $6.5 million for the Georgia Cancer Coalition for equipment, an information system, software licenses, and related operating and personal services expenses. An additional $10 million is recommended in bonds for a Cancer and Biotechnology Research Center at the Medical College of Georgia. The Governor is also recommending an additional $12,580,036 in the Amended FY 2002 budget for Georgia Cancer Coalition initiatives funded through the University System's research consortium. These funds are for items such as a repository for tumor and tissue samples, competitive grants for regional and community cancer coalitions providing prevention, detection, outreach, and care, and cancer related challenge grants related to healthcare providers. Also included in the Amended FY 2002 budget is a $3 million

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

recommendation to establish, through the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), a seed capital fund to support the growth and development of a statewide biotechnology and associated life sciences industry with a primary focus on cancer related areas.
Yamacraw 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) Establish a venture capital seed fund and leverage the Fund's resources with private investment to facilitate early-stage funding to increase the number of promising Georgia start-ups engaged in next-generation broadband technology research and design.
As of December 2001, these goals are being met and exceeded, 1) a national marketing campaign is creating recognition for the initiative; 2) Yamacraw has a commitment of over 3,100 jobs, and 1,110 engineering jobs are filled by member companies. Yamacraw has more than 60 faculty spread across 8 research and regional universities offering courses and degrees to meet the demand and has produced 725 graduates. 3) 16 major companies and 8 emerging companies contribute to the 3,100 job commitment; and 4) venture capital is on the rise and the Yamacraw seed fund has participated in funding 5 start-up companies, leveraging every state dollar with at least 3 private dollars.
In Fall 2000 Governor Barnes asked the board of the Georgia Research Alliance to assume overall governance of Yamacraw. During the past several months, the GRA board has assessed the Yamacraw mission and the overall state information technology mission. The FY 2003 budget for Yamacraw is built to sustain the momentum of the Yamacraw mission. Having reached and exceeded the goals, no additional faculty will need to be added in the coming year.
Created from quality roots, the Yamacraw mission is now bearing fruit. The future of Yamacraw is bright. In January 2003 Yamacraw will occupy a facility that is part of a campus of a mixed-use development that will revitalize a depressed section of Atlanta and provide a home for Georgia's broadband network future.

Groundbreaking for the approximately 200,000 square foot building occurred November 13, 2001. It will be part of Midtown Park and Technology Square located in Midtown Atlanta. The building will be strategically placed adjacent to the new Advanced Technology Development Center and the Georgia Tech continuing education center. The Governor is recommending $2,867,958 for the 6 months of the new lease of this building. The Amended FY 2001 budget includes $4 million in bonds and $3 million in the general funds for equipment, wiring and other specialized infrastructure for the new building. The Yamacraw building will relieve much of the current space crunch around Georgia Tech.
A GRA study committee on Yamacraw, made up of business leaders in the industry has assessed the current market and economic situation in the broadband and telecommunications industry and determined that the Yamacraw mission is meeting its goals and is set to move to the next phase of its development. The Governor is recommending that previously targeted funding for Yamacraw be expanded to assist in the commercialization and marketing of technology industries in Georgia.
As part of the Governor's efforts to move university research to commercial markets, the Governor is recommending that a portion of the Yamacraw funds for commercialization be used to support the new Venture Lab developed by ATDC. As the state's industrial extension arm, ATDC/EDI will help bring universitybased innovations to the commercial marketplace. VentureLab combines extensive experience in technology commercialization with an innovative new approach to assisting university faculty and assessing the commercial value of innovations developed in university labs. Over the next several years, funds for research will be phased down as efforts in commercialization increase. The number of member companies and committed jobs have exceeded the Yamacraw goals and the Governor intends to help these Yamacraw member companies in this developing industry receive the support they need to grow and commercialize their research.
One of the goals of the Yamacraw mission is to create recognition of Georgia, as a global center in the broadband field a second goal is to attract IT related jobs to Georgia. Moving forward the Governor recommends that funds appropriated to the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism for marketing Yamacraw be expanded to market Georgia as a center for technological innovation and growth.
STATEWIDE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Georgia Institute of Technology's Economic
Development Institute (EDI) offers a variety of services with the common objective of promoting business growth in Georgia. As part of the state's economic development

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

team, EDI helped attract more than $110 million in new capital investments and 480 new jobs to Georgia. Companies in the incubator program have generated more than $351 million in revenues and 4,100 high-tech jobs.
EDI provides technical assistance to companies expanding in or moving to Georgia. In addition, communities across the state use EDI's local impact analysis model (LOCI) to examine the financial impact of potential investments. Over the past year EDI has conducted 101 community economic development projects in 59 Georgia counties and completed 48 fis cal and economic impact analyses, of which 20 were for communities not previously served. ATDC/EDI funding in FY 2003 is $10,141,783.
The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is part of EDI and provides crucial start-up support for early-stage advanced technology companies and provides research commercialization support faculty and entrepreneurs involved in Yamacraw, GRA and other related state initiatives. At incubator facilities in Atlanta, Athens, and Warner Robins, ATDC offers business consulting, contacts with potential investors and other business needs, education programs, access to resources in the University System and quality office space. Hightech companies associated with the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) attracted nearly a halfbillion dollars in investment during calendar 2000. Those companies also reported revenues of $691 million, and more than 4,600 jobs. Nine companies graduated from the ATDC in May 2001, and a total of 52 companies participated in the program during FY 01. For the third quarter of 2001, ATDC firms accounted for 21% of all venture capital raised by Georgia companies.
The Intellectual Capital and Partnership Program (ICAPP) serves as a one-stop entry to the intellectual capital of the University System of Georgia -- its education programs, faculty expertise, research and development facilities. Through one of its five programs, ICAPP Advantage, Georgia's public colleges and universities expedite the education of highly skilled workers to meet a company's workforce needs for knowledge workers in high demand but low supply areas. Since inception, ICAPP has responded to industry needs especially in the information technology fields by serving 18 companies to date and creating 6,720 new jobs. ICAPP is now a national model. As the market demands shift, so does the focus of ICAPP. The demand for knowledge workers in IT remains a priority, however market demands for knowledge workers in health care remains at an all time high. The Governor is recommending $1,530,000 in the FY 2003 budget for ICAPP to apply the ICAPP Advantage model to train and hire health care professionals and assess the impacts of the program. An additional $414,154 is recommended in the Amended FY
369

2002 budget to fund ICAPP commitments for the current year and launch the new ICAPP Advantage health care professions activities.
Since 1970, the Marine Extension Service of the University of Georgia has worked to provide marine education programs and assistance to Georgia's seafood industry. The Amended FY 2002 budget includes $100,000 to support distance education for K-12 students and technology upgrades at the aquarium at Skidaway Island.

THE VISION OF GEORGIA'S UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
All initiatives and developments must be consistent
with the vision of the University System of Georgia. The 3 basic programs of the System are instruction, research and public service.

RESIDENT INSTRUCTION The "A" Unit of the University System budget funds resident instruction at all 34 institutions and represents the largest commitment of money and personnel. The "A" Unit includes research consortium and special funding initiatives like ICAPP and P-16. For FY 2003, the Governor recommends $1,465,827,680 in state general funds for Unit "A". Resident instruction is primarily formula-funded and places emphasis on enrollment.
RESEARCH 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. 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

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

the University System's institutions increase the national prestige of the system as a whole and Georgia reaps the benefits of pure and applied research findings. As discussed previously, research activities through GRA and other state initiatives are benefiting the Georgia economy and quality of life. Research at the institutions of the University System of Georgia is extensive.
The anchor of Georgia's research in agriculture is the State's land grant university, the University of Georgia. The mission of UGA's Agricultural Experiment Station is to 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. Besides continued research in traditional agriculture, work in genomics, cellular biology, and bioinformatics, the Agricultural Experiment Station is building the base for a bioscience industry in Georgia. Agricultural and animal biotechnology has been identified as a key strength in the state of Georgia. The unique mission of agriculture research requires unique facilities and environments for conducting animal, horticultural, and biological research. Governor Barnes recommends $250,000 in additional funds in FY 2003 for maintenance and operations expenses of these facilities.
A program evaluation of the Traditional Industries Program was conducted this year by SRI International. The evaluators concluded that TIP is a sound public investment and should continue with state support equal to or greater than the current level. The study showed that Georgia is unique in the nation in sponsoring a publicprivate research program designed to assist and sustain the traditional industries in the state. The traditional industries of pulp and paper, carpet and textiles, and food production and processing are a core part of the State's economy.
Each year over 40 separate projects are conducted throughout the state. The TIP requires that each researcher partner with a firm to conduct the research. To fund projects, state funds are required to be matched by the partnering firm. Because of the close association between the university researcher and the firm, the research is usually targeted in areas critical to the economic survival of the industry and the research findings are quickly commercialized. Partnering with a firm allows the researcher to move from the lab and test the industrial application. Governor Barnes is recommending that the state continue to fund the TIP program at the current level and that internal policy and operations be modified based on the recommendations of the evaluation team.

The Governor is also recommending $425,000 in bonds for the construction of a Food Processing and Technology Research Facility for research related to poultry production and food processing technology for all agriculture products.
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 Research 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.
P-16/ Postsecondary Readiness Enrichment Program (PREP) Initiated in 1995, P-16 has grown to become a nationally recognized model. The goal is of P16 is to encourage coordination and collaboration among all education agencies. Recently P-16 has helped the university system and the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) align the content and placement exams of core English and math courses so that a student could take these core courses at an institution operated by either agency and be accepted by both agencies. Today, 15 P-16 councils are in place and are providing coordination across local, regional, and state education agencies.
PREP has served more than 35,000 students. The public/private funding for P-16/PREP has totaled $26 million. The PREP program is designed to help increase college readiness for at-risk and minority student in 7th to 12th grade through mentor programs conducted during the school year and summer academies. Currently 29 University system institutions are participating in PREP.
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. For example, the Educational Technology Training Centers (ETTC) provide a professional development structure that positions modern technologies as catalyst for overall school improvement. InTech's dynamic training methodology produces a seamless flow of change in Georgia's classrooms while maintaining sensitivity to the needs of educators in a profession that is being redesigned for service to students in twenty-first century schools. Through hands-on learning, Georgia educators develop essential skills in the integration of technologies into the classroom. InTech trains approximately 9,000 teachers per year at the state's thirteen regional centers. Teachers can be trained at the centers or through redelivery and intern methods. Teachers have until 2006 to receive the InTech training.

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 2002 Budget $2,300,000 for education programming.
OFFICE OF PUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES AND PUBLIC LIBRARIES
Georgia's public libraries have made great technological strides in the past three years. All of Georgia's public libraries are now equipped with T-1 computer lines insuring that librarians and patrons have quality access to the internet. Additionally, significant progress has been made in implementing its major initiative Public Information Network for Electronic Services (PINES). PINES facilitates inter-library lending for all participating systems and allows all patrons with a PINES card to access and borrow materials from any participating library within the state. Currently, 72.4% of all systems have signed on to PINES, up from 45% last year.
In continuing with libraries technological advances, Governor Barnes recommends $1,661,276 to be matched by local funds to insure that access to the internet is provided in a fashion that is responsible to the children of Georgia. These funds will be used to insure that all of Georgia's public libraries are Children Internet Protection Act compliant. Additionally, the Governor recommends $150,000 for a facility pre-design for the Library of the Blind and Physically Handicapped and the Office of Public Library Services.

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 revenue. Additionally, the department is charged with enforcing laws and regulations pertaining to the control of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, overseeing county property tax systems, and managing unclaimed property. Auditors, accountants, collectors, field representatives, and various specialists and administrative personnel work as authorized agents of the department's commissioner to carry out DOR's responsibilities. In a typical year, these agents maintain and update millions of taxpayer accounts and enforce compliance with numerous laws and regulations.
ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, DOR is comprised of the
following nine divisions that report to the commissioner: Departmental Administration Division Internal Administration Division Information Systems Division Compliance Division Income Tax Division Taxpayer Accounting Division Alcohol and Tobacco Division Property Tax Division Sales and Use Tax Division Each division plays a strategic role in meeting department goals and objectives.
TAX ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION DOR net state revenue collections for FY 2001 totaled
just over $13.95 billion, a 6.5% increase over FY 2000. The major taxes and fees collected by the department include Personal Income Taxes, General Sales and Use Taxes, Corporation Income and License Taxes, Selective Sales Taxes (Motor Fuels, Liquor, etc.), Estate Taxe s, and Property Taxes.

In addition to collecting and processing state revenue, each year the department also collects over $3 billion in taxes designated for local entities. This amount includes 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). 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.
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. More than 1.2 million

Georgia taxpayers filed returns electronically during the

2000 tax season a 39% increase over the number of

electronic filers in 1999.

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.

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.

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.
WITHHOLDING TAX ELECTRONIC FILING INITIATIVE
While the electronic filing of individual income tax returns has been a great success in Georgia, this convenient option is currently not available to withholding tax filers. Since payroll withholdings from employees comprise such a large share of the individual income taxes received, the department wants to move forward with the ELF-Withholding initiative. Once implemented, customers will be able to file withholding taxes using the DOR web site. Interactive instructions and immediate feedback will make filing easier and more accurate and the department will benefit from immediate updates to the taxpayer database.
ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION The Electronic Registration initiative is bringing
interactive registration and renewal forms to the DOR web site that can be accessed, completed, and filed by taxpayers via the Internet. These web-based forms are focused primarily on automating certain regulation and registration functions such as registration renewals under the International Fuel Tax Agreement, beer and wine retail license renewals, and sales tax certificate orders. In addition to increasing customer satisfaction and maximizing processing efficiency, electronic registration options should reduce printing and postage expenditures and improve the accuracy of records in the centralized taxpayer registration database.
TAXPAYER INFORMATION PROGRAM AND SERVICE
As part of DOR's ongoing customer service improvement effort, the Taxpayer Information Program and Service initiative is focused on a department-wide approach to devising ways for the agency to consistently provide excellent service to the taxpayers of Georgia. The first priority in achieving this objective is to make it easier for customers to reach the appropriate unit within the department that can then provide fast and accurate answers to taxpayer inquiries. The department plans to replace the current extensive listing of multiple units and phone numbers with a single number 656-TIPS and establish a centralized call center that is staffed with knowledgeable employees that can handle general taxpayer inquiries.

STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The State Soil and Water Conservation Commission was established to ensure that Georgia's soil and water resources are protected. The Conservation Commission and Districts provide the vehicle by which assistance is obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service for planning and implementing conservation projects. 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
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.
Commission members are appointed by the Governor to serve 5 year terms. There are 5 commission members in all, 1 of whom is designated chairman. Commission members act in an advisory capacity to guide and direct commission activities.

THE COMMISSION AND DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION
This division is responsible for ensuring that the policies and programs of the commission are carried out. Its activities include providing administrative, clerical and limited technical support to the 40 state conservation districts and their 370 district supervisors.
DISTRICT AND REGIONAL OFFICE OPERATIONS This division is primarily responsible for providing
field support to districts; providing technical assistance to landowners and governmental units; reviewing erosion and sediment control plans submitted for land-disturbing activities; and assisting groups and individuals in urban and rural settings in applying conservation practices. The division also provides demonstration projects, tours, and seminars on recycling, composting, agricultural non-point pollution, and other practices that protect the state's natural resources.
AUTHORITY Title 2 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

396

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.
RURAL AND URBAN EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL FOR WATER QUALITY
The Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975 was passed to control serious soil erosion from developing sites to keep from damaging downstream resources. Land disturbing sites traditionally produce erosion and sedimentation yields in the 100 to 300 tons per acre per year range (20 to 60 times agricultural or rural rates). The Act requires that all cities and counties adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances. It was determined that the proper location in state government of efforts to halt soil erosion was with the soil and water conservation districts. The districts, though they have no enforcement responsibility, are thus responsible for reviewing erosion and sediment control plans.
Rural erosion and sediment control has similar effects on water quality though the source is different. The Conservation Commission was designated as the lead agency in reducing agricultural nonpoint source pollution from agriculture to meet federal and state water quality standards. Cropland in Georgia is estimated to be losing topsoil at an average rate of over 5 tons per acre per year on roughly 4.2 million acres of land. Agricultural runoff differs from urban runoff in that it has the capacity to transport a larger volume of chemicals along on its movement to state waters.
While the remaining 4.8 million acres of agricultural lands in pasture and forest land lose considerably less soil to erosion, the total agricultural related sediments reaching the state's surface waters can approach 5.5 million tons annually. As with urban sediment buildup, this soil often moves to tax maintained water use systems where the cleanup costs are borne by taxpayers who do not contribute to the problem.

The Commission's long-range goal is to reduce erosion on urban and rural lands as much as possible to a point equal to or less than the rate at which new soil is formed, which is about 3 to 4 tons per acre per year.
IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY AUDITS, IRRIGATION RESEARCH AND WATER POLICY PLANNING
The FY 2001 Amended Appropriation and FY 2002 Appropriation made dollars available to the Commission to establish the Hooks-Hanner Environmental Resource Center in Dawson where a multifaceted approach to the region's water planning challenges will take place. Commission staffing included adding 3 irrigation management specialists to work in this region to assist agricultural water users by conducting irrigation efficiency audits on existing irrigation systems as well as assistance in planning future, efficient irrigation systems. Hiring in these positions was completed in mid-August. Approximately 75 irrigation efficiency audits have been completed.
In addition to the Commission's staff, partnerships have been made with Albany State University's Flint River Water Planning and Policy Center, Georgia State University's Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, and the Flint River Regional Water Council, Incorporated. Long range goals for research conducted by these entities are: to understand the relationship between surface flows and subsurface (aquifer) capacities; to significantly increase irrigation applications efficiency with resulting water savings of 3.6 billion gallons of water per crop year; and to protect endangered species in the Flint River basin through increased stream flow as a result of improved irrigation application efficiency.
A few of the Hooks-Hanner Environmental Resource Center's functions will include housing: Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission's
irrigation management program Field research office for the Flint River Water
Planning and Policy Center, aquifer capacity and reservoir testing programs Training facility for the Georgia Rural Water Association's water and waste water treatment operator certification programs Education center for the Georgia Association of Conservation District's erosion and sediment control training programs USDA-Agricultural Research Service multi-crop irrigation and conservation research farm Lower Chattahoochee River Soil and Water Conservation District operations

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

The continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the educational opportunities 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.
To accomplish this public interest goal, the Georgia Student Finance Commission has loan, scholarship and grant programs to help Georgia's postsecondary students. The loan, scholarship and grant programs are funded with lottery, state and federal funds.
HOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE)
Scholarship Program was initiated in FY 1994 with an appropriation of lottery proceeds. The program, designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students, provides scholarships to all students who meet certain academic requirements and attend public colleges, public technical institutions or eligible private colleges in this state.
Despite tougher requirements for earning the HOPE Scholarship, more freshmen than ever are attending Georgia public and private colleges. Since Fall of 1994, the University System's retention rate has increased from 66.1% to 72.8%, and the average SAT score from 981 to 1,026. The number of HOPE Scholars is projected to increase by 9,000 students in FY 2003. HOPE Scholars at private colleges are projected to increase by 4.9% to 15,987 students in FY 2003.
HOPE Student Growth

The FY 2003 recommendation of $366,139,572 will provide approximately 225,000 HOPE scholarships and grants to the public and private institutions.
The HOPE Teacher Scholarship program provides service-cancelable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in critical shortage teaching areas, 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 canceled. Others will have one-fourth of the loan canceled for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The $4,204,658 recommendation for FY 2003 will assist approximately 2,200 students.
The PROMISE Scholarship program provides servicecancelable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both residents and non-residents, who have completed their first two years of coursework in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 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. 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. The $4,114,476 recommendation for FY 2003 will assist approximately 1,450 students.
The commission also administers the lottery funded PROMISE II Scholarships ($559,090), Georgia Military Scholarships ($663,960), Law Enforcement Dependents Grants ($246,024), and Engineer Scholarships ($760,000).

In FY 2001, Governor Barnes recommended lottery funding for the Pell grant offset for students seeking degrees or diplomas at eligible colleges or technical
institutes ($23,000,000). The scholarship amount each student receives will be the cost of tuition, eligible fees, and a book allowance, leaving those students who are eligible
for a Pell grant the opportunity to use their Pell funds towards the cost of their room, board and other expenses.

Fiscal Year
DTAE Regents
The Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) is also seeing a substantial increase in HOPE grants. Technical colleges had a 22.3% increase in students from FY 2000 to FY 2001. The number of HOPE grants is projected to increase by 20% (over $22,000,000) to total 125,000 students in FY 2003.

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:

Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grants (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 guards who has been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. In FY 2003, $68,364 in state funds will provide approximately 36 grants.
North Georgia College ROTC Grants Provides a state scholarship of $1,500 per year to each full-time Georg ia student enrolled in military ROTC training at North Georgia College. Approximately 292 students will receive these grants in FY 2003 with the $362,080 recommended.
Osteopathic Medical Loan Provides servicecancelable loans to Georgians accepted for enrollment at an eligible college or university of osteopathic medicine. The loans are based on need with a maximum of $10,000 per year for up to 4 years. A recipient may cancel the loan by practicing primary care osteopathic medicine in a medically underserved area of this state. The $30,000 in state funds recommended in FY 2003 will provide loans to 3 students.
Georgia Military Scholarship Provides assistance to students to attend North Georgia College and State University. Thirty-three high school seniors are selected each year to receive full 4-year scholarships to North Georgia College. Students must meet strict academic requirements to be eligible and must agree to serve at least

4 years in the Georgia National Guard after graduation. The commission expects to serve approximately 85 students with the $521,220 in state funds recommended for FY 2003.
Georgia Military College/North Georgia College Military Scholarship Provides assistance to students who graduate from Georgia Military College to transfer to North Georgia College and State University and receive a scholarship for two additional years. The commission expects to serve 4 students with the $23,120 in state funds recommended in FY 2003.
Governor's Scholarship Provides an annual $1,575 award to Georgia students selected as Georgia Scholars, STAR students, high school valedictorians and salutatorians that go on to attend Georgia eligible colleges and universities in this state. The commission expects to serve 2,449 students with the $3,693,967 in the state funds recommended in FY 2003.
The authority administers the Robert C. Byrd Scholarship for the Georgia Department of Education. It is available to Georgia students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement. The progra m is intended to promote and recognize student excellence. Byrd Scholars, selected by the Georgia Department of Education, receive a one-time award of $1,500 as entering freshman for their first year of college study at an eligible U.S. institution.
Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program (LEAP) The U.S. Department of Education provides states with matching funds to offer need-based grants to students. The recommended state funds for FY 2003 is $1,013,712 with an additional $525,883 in federal 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 cost 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

409

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

approximately 1,075 loans in FY 2003 with the $4,365,601 recommended.
FEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATIONAL 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, 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 awards. 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 gradation or termination from school.
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program A nonneed based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business school 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.
REGULATION OF NONPUBLIC POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITIONS
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 colleted 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 Teachers 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 ten 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 must 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.
Board members who are not ex officio serve three-year terms. The board convenes 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, and paraprofessionals.

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 $55 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.
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 TRS. These funds are appropriated to TRS annually.
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.

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). On July 1, 2001, the former Eastman Satellite of Heart of Georgia Technical College became an independent college. The Georgia Aviation and Technical College is a one-of-a-kind technical college with a specialized mission focused primarily on aviation. With the addition of this new college, DTAE now oversees 33 state-governed technical colleges and 17 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 in Gwinnett County.
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 larges t 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.
AUTHORITY Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

TECHNICAL EDUCATION Georgia's technical colleges continue to experience
steady enrollment growth, with a full time equivalent enrollment of 58,325 in FY 2001, an increase of 14.5% over FY 2000. 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 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 originally implemented in the FY 2001 budget.
The formula produces an appropriation, as opposed to an allocation. 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. This 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 technology, 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 2001 credit hours generate FY 2003 funding levels. In FY 2003, the Governor recommends an increase of $26,595,635 for state technical colleges' personal services.
The operating component is based on total square feet of operating space. The Governor recommends $2,568,938 in additional formula funding for operating expenses in FY 2003.
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, multiplied by a replacement cost, which produces an annual investment in maintenance and upkeep of the physical plant. This fund is to cover projects under $1,000,000 in magnitude. In FY 2003, the formula generated an additional $831,360. Due to budget constraints, the major repairs and rehabilitation formula is funded with Amended FY 2002 G.O. bonds.

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 $50,590,000 in G.O. bonds in the Amended FY 2002 Budget for 5 new construction projects. These projects were previously funded for predesign.
In addition to new construction, the Governor also recommends $200,000 in G.O. bonds for predesign and design for a classroom building at the Altamaha Technical College Appling County Campus. A completed predesign will allow for better planning and cost estimates for the entire project. While the Governor is committed to the predesign process, he refrains from funding further predesign projects at this point, due to the significant

number of predesign funded projects awaiting construction funding. Additionally, the Governor recommends $5,540,000 in bonds for renovations and improvements to the former shopping center that Central Georgia Technical College acquired in FY 2001 and $10,000,000 in bonds to replace obsolete equipment throughout the technical college system. Finally, the Governor recommends $15,670,000 in bonds for equipment for new DTAE construction projects.
THE QUICK START PROGRAM One of the most exciting and valuable resources within
the technical education system is the Georgia Quick Start program.

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 Rail 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.
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.
Planning and Construction This function plans, maintains and improves the roads
and bridges of the state highway system. As part of this responsibility, personnel provide a long-range state multimodal 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 modifications; 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 overweight carriers.
Administration Provides executive management, personnel
management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions.
Facilities and Equipment A separate budget function for new and replacement
equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's operations.
Inter-modal 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 air service.
Air Transportation This division 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, this division is 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.
AUTHORITY Titles 6 and 32 of the Official Code of Georgia

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Strategies and Services

The Department of Transportation's (DOT) 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. Yet the department's ability to build new highway infrastructure and maintain it has diminished rapidly -- a result of an ever-growing population that has pushed capacity beyond acceptable boundaries and threatened the air quality of the state.
But recently, the department has received help from the Governor and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) to solve the seemingly insurmountable problem in developing appropriate strategies for future transportation needs affecting the state and the metro Atlanta region.
In June 2001, Governor Barnes announced an $8.3 million transportation initiative--a comprehensive plan to fight congestion and bring economic development to all regions in the state. DOT has teamed with GRTA to improve mobility and access to the Georgia transportation system while protecting air quality. One way to accomplish this is through Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle bonds or GARVEE bonds, which the General Assembly authorized usage of during the 2001 Legislative Session. GARVEE is a funding mechanism that allows Georgia to bond fund transportation improvement projects with future anticipated federal funding. The State Road and Tollway Authority will manage the funds while working together with GRTA and DOT to bring the Governor's vision to life. Each agency will head specific projects which allow the state to benefit from the vast experience of DOT and the State Road and Tollway Authority and the innovation of GRTA. Examples of projects for the Atlanta metro area that will be funded in the plan include commuter buses, commuter rail and light rail, regional vanpools, HOV lane expansion, the Northern Arc, and a multi-modal terminal which will bridge these modes of transportation together for citizens across the Atlanta region.
The department will continue to build and maintain the state's network of roads and bridges. Federal funds in combination with motor fuel appropriated funds continue to allow the department to fulfill its traditional

responsibility for building and maintaining the state's highway infrastructure.
In the Amended FY 2002 Budget, the Governor recommends an additional $22,113,727 to match federal funding available to the state for the year, bringing the total motor fuel matching funds to $210,760,035 and $207,440,535 in FY 2003, an all time budgeted high for the department. As a result of available funds, Georgia has a superior highway system. Yet, the cost of road maintenance and construction increases everyday -- with the current system unable to take people of Georgia where they need to go and therefore limiting the economic activity across the state.
The Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP) began as a way to bring economic development to rural Georgia and thus is know as the developmental highway program. There are currently 12 active GRIP corridors throughout the state. Before the Governor's announcement last June, the program was expected to take at least 20 years to complete. Now, with the Governor's initiative the GRIP system will reach comp letion in an estimated time of 7 years. The Governor reiterates his initiative in the Amended FY 2002 Budget, by recommending $150,000,000 in General Obligation bond funds for GRIP projects not eligible for federal funds.
. MASS TRANSIT / PASSENGER RAIL
New initiatives for mass transit and rail projects include a recommendation of over $4 million in state general funds in the FY 2003 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 alternative fueled buses. Additionally, the Amended FY 2002 Budget recommends a total funding of $2,575,000 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.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION - Strategies and Services

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION/ HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION 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 2002, the value of road construction on awarded contracts is estimated to be over $1 billon and involve 4,000 miles of road at an average expenditure of $406,944 per mile. In addition, it is estimated that during FY 2002 110 bridges will be put under contract, over 1,440 miles of state highway will be resurfaced or resealed, and 180 miles of state highway shoulders will be paved or widened.
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.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Veterans Service serves more than 750,000 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% federally funded and employs 7 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 Governor, the Board and the General Assembly in regard to veterans legislation and
policies.

INSTITUTIONS FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Service operates 2
institutions that offer health care services to eligible veterans. Located next to Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, the 475bed 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 simple lodging). There are 375 skilled care beds and 100 beds in the domiciliary unit. An additional 21 beds were made available in June 2001.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 7
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 4-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 veterans' 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 2001, the department processed 654,639 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 680,000 in FY 2002.
GEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME MILLEDGEVILLE In FY 2002, 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 ages, the acuity level (or
level of care) of skilled nursing patients increases. 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 2002, this facility will provide an estimated 65,700
days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation. The facility also 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 is the first state-operated veterans cemetery in Georgia. Located on 142 acres in Baldwin State Forest with 17 acres developed to accommodate 1,000 burial sites, the cemetery includes a 6-acre storm retention lake, main entrance, ceremonial area, and hearse parking area. The cemetery opened in December 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 3 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 employers, 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, however, that avenue may only be used to debate points of law, not facts of a case.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The board consists of 3 directors, 1 of which is a
chair, all appointed by the Governor. Each serves for a term of 4 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 alternate 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 workers' 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 190,000 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 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, they may pick a managed care
organization as the deliverer of medical services 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 and dispute resolution services.
There are 22 certified managed care organizations in Georgia covering over 215,284 employees. Nearly every county in the state has a certified managed care organization.

Trial Held .

Alternate Method Used

Board surveys show that the majority 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 available to speak to interested parties on 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 600 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 45 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 the
goal of educating and assisting parties involved in workers' compensation so benefits allowable under law are successfully received. To accomplish this goal, 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 complaintbased, checks a day.
Since it's inception, the section has found over 5,000 businesses not carrying the required workers' compensation coverage. These employers now carry the proper insurance for an additional 26,000 employees. At least 20 of these employers have been criminally prosecuted.
The Fraud Section has been granted law enforcement powers by the General Assembly and has initiated over 240 arrests for workers' compensation fraud.

Notes: At-Risk Subprogram; Goal 1; Desired Result 1. Note 1: Title 1A serves eligible children who are failing or most at-risk of failing to meet the state's performance standards. Title IA schools with 50% or more poverty may elect to become schoolwide and serve both eligible and non-eligible children. In FY 2000, 54% of Georgia's schools (1,032 of 1,911) were Title 1A schools.
Note 2: Student achievement data reported for targeted assistance schools include all students in the grade assessed, thus, the scores of Title IA students in some schools may be masked by the scores of more numerous other students.

Goal 2: Students in grades 4 and 8 attending schools receiving Title IA funding will meet or exceed State

performance standards.

PAROLE SELECTION AND SUPERVISION

Purpose: Contribute positively to public safety in Georgia by investigating offenders' criminal histories in order to determine inmates who will be paroled and those who will not, and to provide supervision, monitoring, programming and other services in the community that ensures compliance with release conditions and successful transition of parolees back into the community as law abiding citizens and responding to the needs of crime victims and their families.

Goal 1: Provide safe and effective supervision of parolees that creates and maintains an efficient, low cost community-based alternative to prison incarceration.

Note 1: Revocations are categorized as 1) technical violation only, 2) new crime, or 3) new conviction, reporting this measure as a total of the 3 provides the most accurate assessment of this area. Reporting just 1 of these categories could be very misleading since most parolees arrested for a crime do not "have their day in court" until after the parole period has ended.
Note 2: Total Revocations FY 2001 = 3,383 (Technical Violation = 1,021; New Crime = 1,719; New Conviction = 643)

Note 1: There are 35 boards that license and oversee various professions. Information of the results of boards not listed here can be obtained from the Office of Planning and Budget. A list of the professional licensing boards is available at "http://www.sos.state.ga.us/plb/contact.htm".

Note 2: The desired result for the PLB is to provide the information necessary for a Board to make a decision in regard to whether a licensee should be sanctioned. Every case is reviewed on its own merits. Also, different Boards may approach violations differently, so Board policy must be considered. There are also many outside factors that affect the number of sanctions. Those factors make it difficult if not impossible to determine a desired result. The best result is that all consumers are protected in the best manner possible from unlawful practices. In achieving this goal, it is our desired result to have fewer sanctions to show that practitioners are increasingly in compliance with rules; or is it to desire increasing sanctions as a manifestation of greater demand for more aggressive enforcement actions by the agency and Boards. The boards have not traditionally determined a "desired result" in this area.

FY 2004 DEPARTMENT BUDGET ESTIMATES
The budget process used for Fiscal Year 2003 incorporates a multi-year estimating process required of state agencies. Agencies were required to estimate future costs of their Fiscal Year 2003 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 2004 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 2004 estimate of their Fiscal Year 2003 budget requests.

IMPACT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE FY 2003 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, and are not considered capital outlay.
The Capital Outlay Program impacts the state's operating budget through a mix of debt service payments for bond-funded 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 2003 Recommended Budget.

In summary, $984 million of the FY 2003 Governor's $16.2 billion 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 2003 and Amended FY 2002 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 $25 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, diverse economic base, 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 that 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.

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.

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

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMITATIONS The Constitution [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 in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred.

704

FINANCING CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS - ISSUANCE OF DEBT

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

security of, loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million.
The Constitution [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 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.
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. Funding sources are also described in the Glossary section of the Budget Report. [The state's specific governmental accounting fund classifications are noted in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report prepared by the Department of Audits and Accounts.]
State funds include: (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 are 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 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 state fund appropriations often drives the level of federal and other funding.
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 major revenue sources include fees and sales, lottery funds, and Indigent Care Trust 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. The Governor 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 model. 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.
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

711

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

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 not less than 3% nor more than 5% of the fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available. The Revenue Shortfall Reserve is often referred to the state's "rainy day" fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues during the upcoming fiscal year.
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 Governor announces the next year's budget recommendations during the 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 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.

712

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

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

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.
