STATE OF GEORGIA
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
The great American inventor, Thomas Edison, once mused, "Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work!"
Georgia, like other states, is in the midst of a tough economy. Because State revenues have steadily declined over the past sixteen months, you and I the elected representatives of the people are now faced with difficult decisions on how we meet the needs of our citizens. I ask you to join me in the hard work of good stewardship.
As I shared with you when I submitted the Amended Fiscal Year 2003 budget, I sincerely believe we have a rare opportunity in our State's history to reform the budget process. Over the coming months, we will conduct a thorough examination of how we spend State revenues. Guiding principles will be established. Priorities will be set. Measurable results will be expected. Every action that we take should reflect positively upon our commitment to an educated Georgia, a healthy Georgia, a safe Georgia, and a growing Georgia.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 Budget Recommendation embodies that philosophy. The rapid rate of growth in the State's revenue over the past decade has slowed dramatically. These budget recommendations reflect our new economic realities. This year's FY 2004 Budget contains similar measures as the AFY 2003 Budget sharp reductions in expenditures, the use of a portion of the Revenue Shortfall Reserve, and the enactment of a modest excise tax increase on tobacco targeted at improving the health of Georgians. Enhancements are minimal, but those I do recommend are in line with our core principles.
Our Constitution and State laws require that I recommend a revenue estimate to the Members of the General Assembly that is available for appropriation. I hereby establish a conservative revenue estimate of $14.7 billion for FY 2004.
Investment in education must be our top priority. A more educated Georgia is vital to our economy and is our most strategic investment. Therefore, I recommend $190.9 million in additional earnings for QBE formula grants based on projected enrollment growth of 1.75%. I am also including $186.5 million in bonds for school construction as part of four capital outlay programs: regular, regular advanced, low-wealth, and growth. For our youngest students, I am proposing $243 million for Georgia's voluntary PreKindergarten Program. This program is a model for the nation, and with these funds, more than 3,340 classrooms throughout the State will be filled with eager four-year-olds.
Georgia currently enjoys a higher education system that exceeds national standards and is viewed by many as the rising model for excellence. We will continue support of the HOPE Scholarship program by providing $377.7 million for tuition, mandatory fees, and a book allowance to eligible students enrolled in public and technical colleges. Additionally, I recommend $45 million for the HOPE Private College Scholarship Program. For FY 2004, lottery funds are preserved for the HOPE scholarship programs in the Student Finance Commission and to the Pre-Kindergarten Program in the Office of School Readiness.
We owe it to the families and the children of our State to create and maintain a safe Georgia. I will meet our correctional expansion needs to ensure the protection of our citizens. I recommend $4.1 million to start-up and operate four correctional facilities: the Valdosta Diversion Center, the DeKalb Transitional Center, the Bleckley Parole Revocation Center, and the Appling Parole Revocation Center. I propose $2.65 million to increase State-funded operating assistance to county work camps and jails. While part of the mission of any correctional system is punitive, another part is rehabilitative. This is particularly true for our juvenile offenders. Thus, for those caregivers who provide services to our children in the juvenile justice system, I recommend $3.76 million to convert to a Level of Care Placement System. This system will pay six levels of uniform rates for therapeutic residential treatment based on the needs of the child.
Sustained economic development in every corner of our great State is essential for a growing Georgia. I recommend $52.1 million in tobacco settlement proceeds for the OneGeorgia Authority. These monies will enable the Authority to continue grant and loan programs targeted at Georgia's most economically challenged counties. I also recommend $100,000,000 in bonds for the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). GRIP funds are the foundation for many essential transportation projects that link our small towns and counties with major arteries, helping them to attract new businesses, industries, and jobs.

TO MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY PAGE 2
Additionally, we must always strike a balance between job creation and the important protection and preservation of Georgia's natural resources. As good stewards, we must conserve the natural amenities of our State for future generations of Georgians to enjoy. For that reason, I propose $15 million to continue a Greenspace land acquisition and protection program designed to expand participation and maximize available funds from all public sources local, state, and federal.
Finally, the health and well being of our citizens remains a principal priority. This starts with a commitment to tackle cancer and the devastating effects the disease has on our families and friends. To expand our important research efforts, I am recommending $8.6 million to continue the State portion of construction costs for the Cancer Research Center at the Medical College of Georgia. Private and federal funds totaling $36.6 million also will be used to complete this worthy endeavor. Furthermore, I am proposing the continued use of tobacco funds to support education and cancer screening efforts statewide through public and private providers. A network of hospitals will ensure that basic cancer care is available close to home anywhere in the State.
Even in unsure economic times, we have an obligation to continue to provide health and human services to those among us who are most vulnerable: our children. This is one area of our budget where neither the citizens of Georgia, nor I, will tolerate lip service or politics. My budget recommendations include $5.8 million to add 125 new Child Protective Services (CPS) positions. I propose $9.9 million in additional state funds to convert to a Level of Care placement system for children currently in the CPS system. For children in foster care, I recommend $579,493 to double the annual clothing allowance for each child and another $825,000 to identify and recruit new foster and adoptive parents.
Georgia will continue to work toward the full implementation of the Olmstead decision of the United States Supreme Court. In order to provide additional services for the disabled, I recommend $8.8 million to facilitate those moving from institutions to community-based settings. In addition, I propose $2.37 million for service expansions to accommodate persons waiting for community-based services. There are also a number of our citizens who live in nursing homes but are clinically able to live in the community. For those individuals who have expressed a desire to move, I recommend $3.2 million to provide community-based residential care for them.
The FY 2004 recommendation for the State's portion of Medicaid is $1.6 billion. In recent years, we have experienced sharply escalating costs that drive up the State's investment. To assist us in covering these costs and to improve the health and life spans of Georgians, I propose to increase the excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol products. Research has proven that when the cost of tobacco and alcohol products is raised, the health benefits are marked: fewer youths and adults start smoking; many smokers elect to stop smoking altogether; alcohol consumption is reduced. The end results are a significant healthcare cost reduction in future years, and more importantly, healthier citizens.
If I were to thumb through the pages of your checkbook, I could quickly determine your priorities based on where you spend your money. In the decades to come, historians, people who are simply curious, and perhaps even legislators in search of novel solutions during pressing economic times, will examine the pages of this budget document in much the same way to determine where we placed our priorities. I genuinely hope that their inspection will yield a priority list conducive to an educated, safe, growing, and healthy Georgia.
For me, this is a fresh opportunity. Yes, the decisions are difficult, and the work has just begun. But the return on our investment holds much promise.
I reiterate my charge to each of you: we are stewards elected by the people, not merely appropriators tasked with spending other people's money.
Sincerely,
[signed]
Sonny Perdue

I. A Boom Ends
In March of 2001, the economy of the United States reached a cyclical peak. Ten years after expansion began, levels of output and employment attained their maximums and then turned down. In the 1960s, an economic upswing lasted for thirty-five quarters. By lasting five quarters longer, the expansion of the 1990s set a new record. In terms of growth, however, the climb of the 1960s still holds first place. From trough to peak, gross domestic product rose by 51.8% (or, on average, by 4.9% per year) in the 1960s, but advanced by only 39.4% (or, on average, by 3.4% per year) in the 1990s. Labor-hours also grew more slowly in the recent than in the earlier upswing, 2.0% per year compared to 3.3% per year, respectively. The lower rate of gain in employment and hours in the 1990s was certainly linked to the weaker gain in output. In addition, it reflected the rise in output per labor hour of roughly 50% which had occurred between 1969 and 1991. Within the periods of expansion themselves, productivity went up at an annual rate of 3.2% in the 1960s but by only 2.1% in the 1990s, most of this advance achieved in the years from 1996 to 2000.
In an "open economy", changes in the pace of economic activity transcend political boundaries. Yet, cyclical timing and impacts vary considerably from location to location. Using personal income as the index of overall activity, Georgia's economy peaked two months later in 2001 than did the national economy. In terms of growth, personal income in Georgia during the expansion of the 1990s rose at an average annual rate of 7.1% whereas personal income in the nation went up at a rate of 5.5%. Besides variation by location, cyclical impacts also vary from recession to recession. For example, Georgia's income gain in the expansion of the 1960s had been 9.8% per year, a third higher than in the 1990s. If the focus is shifted to employment, the corresponding growth rates for Georgia in the earlier and later expansions were 5.0% and 3.1 percent, respectively.
Within a state, economic expansions are transmitted from the private to the government sectors by feed-throughs to the tax and expenditure bases. To the extent household spending is concentrated on taxable purchases, sales tax collections of the state government will show exceptional rise. Alternately, if welfare rolls are reduced by expanded opportunities for jobs, government's expenditures in programs of income maintenance will fall. Of course, neither the revenue nor the expenditure bases track movements in aggregate economic activity exactly. Consequently, a boom may bear more or less intensely on the finances of state

government than on private output or employment. Moreover, the same changes in overall economic activity may affect government differently from recession to recession. For Georgia's state government, revenues in 2001 peaked roughly two months after the private sector. In the main, this delay reflected the "administrative and reporting lags" of tax collection. During the 1990s, the average annual rate of growth in revenues (adjusted for inflation) was 4.9%; the growth in the 1960s had been higher at 6.5%. Without allowance for changes in purchasing power, the comparison was 7.4% to 9.8%.
II. Profiles of Decline
The United States economy. When activity peaks are passed, a period of recession sets in. Over the past forty years, fortunately, such declines have had a far shorter life than have upswings. Also, in absolute terms, the relative impacts on output and employment have been far smaller for recessions than for booms. The record of expansions and contractions in the United States since 1960 is depicted in Table 1.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

ago. For the period ending in the third quarter of 2002, the pace of recovery in the latest recession has also been slower. A milder contraction is also depicted by the quarter-to-quarter patterns of growth in gross domestic product (adjusted for inflation). In the first three quarters of 2001, the quarter-toquarter slippages were -0.6%, -1.6%, and -0.3%, respectively. In contrast, the slippages starting in the second quarter of 1990 were -0.7%, -3.2%, and -2.0% respectively. Going back to earlier contractions, quarter-to-quarter slippages in the 1981-1982 recession reached to -6.5% and in 1980 reached to -7.9 percent. Since the three quarters of slippage in 2001 were relatively modest and since they have been followed by four quarters with growth of gross domestic product of 2.7%, 5.0%, 1.3%, and 4.0% successively, some observers have concluded that a cyclical trough was in fact reached in the fourth quarter of 2001. In this view, the recession lasted only three quarters and the United States has been experiencing recovery for a year. Significantly, the National Bureau of Economic Research, the "official arbiter" on turning points, has not yet proclaimed recovery.
The profile of state-local purchases during the 20012002 contraction is depicted in Figure 2. The "bottoming" of gross domestic product per capita (adjusted for inflation) clearly stands apart from the barely discernible "bottoming" in

state/local purchases (adjusted for inflation). Despite the media's portrayals of a disproportionate burden falling upon state and local governments, purchases by these governments have not registered any year-to-year declines through the third quarter of 2002. Nevertheless, as Figure 3 depicts, the fourquarter increments in inflation-adjusted state/local purchases are noticeably smaller in the current recession than they were in the contraction of ten years ago. From this perspective, the 2001-2002 recession has been the more severe.

The Georgia private economy. Although the U.S.

Department of Commerce does not report gross state product

on a current quarterly basis, quarterly levels of state personal

income are published with only a one-quarter lag behind

releases for U.S. gross domestic product. Historically, the

levels of Georgia and United States personal income have

moved in tandem. In Figure 4, this association is manifest for

growth rates over the 1999-2002 quarters. Only in the

quarters of 2000 when rates of growth turned down did

Georgia's personal income temporarily lose its advantage. In

both the nation and the state, income growth slipped sharply

as the U.S. output peak in March of 2001 was passed.

Significantly, no similar easing in growth marked Georgia's

personal income in the quarters following the output peak in

the

nation

in

July

of

1990.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

Instead, its income growth in 1991 and 1992 stayed on the trend curve of 1989 and 1990. Despite the mildness of the national recession suggested by the behavior of gross domestic product, the performance of personal income in Georgia casts the 2001-2002 recession as clearly more severe than what the state experienced in 1990-1991.
The profiles of Georgia's non-agriculture employment during 2001-2002 also point towards greater severity in the latest recession. Starting in the third quarter of 2001, non-agricultural employment fell below year-ago levels by successively increasing percentages. During the first three quarters of 2002, employment stayed below prior-year amounts by between 2.0% and 2.5%. In only one quarter in 1990-1991 did the drop in employment reach 2.0%. The imbedded sequence of fifteen months of decline in 2001-2002 was only slightly longer than the thirteen-month sequence recorded in 1991-1992. However, because of the more extreme extent of slippage, the impact of the 2001-2002 recession appears to have been the more powerful. Moreover, all of Georgia's major industries have shared in the decreases of the latest slump. Employment in manufacturing, construction, and retail and wholesale trade have all declined. So too, unlike 1990-1991, has services employment. Moreover, employment in transportation and public utilities has been sharply depressed. In the aftermath of the 9/11 events, employment losses in tourist-connected services and air transportation have risen to account for as much as 21% of the total quarterly decrease in non-agricultural employment. As recently as September of 2001, however, conditions had improved somewhat so that they accounted for only about 5%

of the change, close to the proportion of total employment included in these industries.
As Georgia's employment has suffered from recession, so has employment in the United States. Yet, the overall percentage drops in Georgia's employment have been roughly double those reported for the nation. In construction, the ratio has been closer to three-to-one. In wholesale and retail trade, a two-to-one ratio has persisted. In services, U.S. employment has been rising by small percentages whereas Georgia's employment has been falling at roughly 2% annual rates. In manufacturing, in contrast, Georgia's employment in 2002 has been falling far less steeply than manufacturing employment in the nation. In fact, the ratio of percentage declines in Georgia to that in the U.S. has been around one-tofive. This imbalance is explained more by Georgia's adverse ratios in 2001 rather than by any peculiar current advantage for manufacturing in the state.
The state's relative disadvantage in employment growth in the 2001-2002 recession is even more clearly portrayed by state rankings of growth in total employment and in employment in major industries. From a position as a leader among the states as recently as in 1999, Georgia has become a laggard in mid-2002. The joint behavior of rank and rates of growth over the past four years are pictured in Figure 5. From positive growth and membership in the highest-ranking ten states, Georgia has moved to declines and membership among the lowest-ranking five states in all industries except manufacturing.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

The Georgia state economy. Mention has been made of the fact that the national state/local purchases (on a national income and products account basis) have not shown the clear profile of "bottoming" that was obvious in gross domestic product. When revenues rather than expenditures of the state/local sector are considered, however, slippage in three successive quarters as indicated. So, state and local governments have not been insulated from the recession. The behavior of their revenues along with that of the state government of Georgia are represented in Figure 6. Of particular interest, Georgia's pattern of decline in quarterly growth of revenues has dipped into larger negative rates since 9/11. In view of the noted alignment of personal income profiles for Georgia and the U.S., the larger relative decline that is pictured for the state hints at a "disconnect" of revenues from Georgia's private economic activity.
The onset of the recession in Georgia's private economy in the spring of 2001 set in motion a sequence that continued though FY 2002 and into FY 2003. This coincidence of the spans of slippage and of the fiscal year contributed to the "excessive" revenue decline of 4.7% reported for FY 2002. In the 1990-1991 recession, revenue gains from a sales tax increase (April, 1989) offset slippage in revenues in FY 1990. Thereafter, a split of the ten

months of decline between FY 1991 and FY 1992 left each of those fiscal years with small net gains, amounts of 0.9% and 1.4%, respectively.
More important than timing in explaining the revenue "disconnect" is the composition of tax bases. With the sharp decrease in the value of equities which started in March of 2000, growth in the capital-gains component of taxable incomes of individuals and corporations was virtually wiped out for FY 2002. Without a prospect for capital gains or for secondary incomes to be earned in a sagging labor market, the advance payments of taxes on estimated incomes for both FY 2002 and FY 2003 dropped as well. Furthermore, with profits falling and unused productive capacity growing, business spending includable in the sales tax base shrank similarly. Although withholding on current incomes was bolstered by increases in earnings (shown in Figure 7), the disappearance of taxables from measures of personal income has pushed revenue growth in FY 2002 and FY 2003 downward enough to strain the prior revenue-to-income relationship.

Interestingly, revenues were aided by obvious shifts in the pattern of private expenditures in both the 1990-1991 and the 2001-2002 recessions. Consumption of durables and non-durables, which is taxable in Georgia, rose far more rapidly than did the consumption of services, which generally is not taxable. While this shift has blunted the impact of the 2001-2002 recession, it probably also has dulled the leading edge of the upcoming recovery. Part of the surge in durables (autos and home furnishings mainly) can be expected to have drawn taxable sales backward from the future where recovery will have to take place, a conclusion reached by the management of several U.S. automobile manufacturers. A second influence offsetting the revenue impact of the 20012002 recession arises from housing. New private housing starts and sales of existing homes during the contraction have not had gains that matched those in sales of durables and nondurables. But, neither have their growth rates fallen as they did in 1990-1991. To the extent that housing activity drives purchases of furniture and household equipment, sales taxes must then have been bolstered. Of course, the policy-forced reductions in interest rates for home equity loans and for mortgages have contributed to this support, probably outweighing the restrictive influence which rising debt levels would otherwise exert upon purchases of other goods and services.

With the nation's gross domestic product (1996 dollars) having risen at quarterly rates of between 1.3% and 4.0% from the fourth quarter of 2001 through the third quarter of 2002, an economic recovery could already be underway. In the four quarters following the last quarterly decline, gross domestic product (1996 dollars) has risen by 3.2%. In similarly-placed quarters following the last decline of the 1990-1991 recession, gross domestic product (1996 dollars) rose by only 2.2%. In the year that followed, output climbed by 4.0% with no quarter's growth falling below an annualized rate of 3.1%. Recovery persisted. Compared to the patterns of the 1960-1961 recession, however, the fledgling upturn following the 2001-2002 recession appears weak and wavering. In the four quarters following the last quarterly decline in 1961, output had climbed by 7.5%. In the following year, output advanced by 3.5%.

The shakiness of the U.S. outlook ties more to uncertainties regarding the mood of households and businesses (and of governments) and the international circumstance than it does to the unmistakable one-year climb in U.S. gross domestic product. Of course, the eight-quarter decline in fixed investment (Table 2) suggests that the gains in gross domestic product which have been

III. Prospects for Recovery

19

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

realized have hinged upon consumption, inventory purchases, and the net exports of goods and services. Should consumption have slipped while imports surged (as it did in the second quarter of 2002), the growth in gross domestic product might not have been enough to keep employment from falling. Indeed, any assurance of continuing recovery in the nation has to come from a revival of investment. The rise in consumption driven by a still slow-growing personal income will not be sufficient. Encouragingly, as Table 2 can be read, the patterns of slippage, bottoming, and of the early stages of recovery of investment (1996 dollars) in the 1999-2002 and 1989-1992 periods have been very much alike. Just as investment growth has followed the same path in going from peak to minimum in the two recessions, so investment in 2002-2003 can be expected to keep to the track of return to strong growth demonstrated in 1990-1991. Admittedly, unused productive capacity, high productivity of business durables already in place, and the attribution of profit gains to cost cutting rather than to sales expansion threaten movement along the upside of the investment growth pattern. However, low interest rates, weak inflation, stimulative federal tax policy, and the inescapable obsolescence of existing facilities and equipment (especially of information processing) act in support of rising investment.
As the U.S. recovers, so will Georgia's private sector. Yet, to repeat the theme, the pace and vigor of recovery may be different. Georgia's employment growth, still fiftieth among the states in total and for major industries (Figure 5), will have to accelerate if general economic recovery is to be robust. In the second and third quarters of 2002, the increase in earnings has compensated for decreases in employment (Figure 7). Significantly, the pattern of employment growth in 2001-2002 closely matches that of 1991-1992 but, relative to the turning point in economic activity, has been shifted forward (made later) by about two quarters. This timing shift, affected by the lag in the recovery of investment, captures the influence of an increase in worker productivity which has raised output per hour by 5.9 percent since the activity peak in the first quarter of 2001. With moderate unemployment in Georgia (only 4.6% in 2002 compared to 6.9% in 1992), the depreciation of human capital which is usually imposed by recession and which dampens recovery will probably not become a serious restraint. More important in the near-term will be the extent to which population growth returns to the 2.3% rate that marked the last half of the 1990s. Although evidence is not yet at hand, population growth in the 2001-2002 recession may be believed to have fallen by a third or more from its rate in the preceding expansion just as happened in 1990-1991.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

As Georgia recovers, so will the flow of revenues to Georgia's government. Since recurrent positive monthly gains have now occurred but have not yet become tendency, the recovery in revenues appears to lag even farther behind recovery in the U.S. than does recovery in Georgia's private sector. Income tax collections will rise in response to continuing growth in earnings in conjunction with stable levels of employment but there will not be acceleration. Similarly, sales tax collections will slowly increase, even without a resurgence in business purchases, as households and businesses respond to the slow up trends persisting in earnings and in personal income.

However, a shift in the tax-processing pattern which has moved some collections that would have been counted in FY 2003 into FY 2002 will probably be sufficient to overcome the modest activity gains to be expected in FY 2003 unless there is a clear upturn in private investment. Accordingly, the revenue flow to the state government in FY 2003 can be expected to fall once again and establish the only back-to-back declines on Georgia's record. Yet, the decline will be smaller than in FY 2002. For FY 2004, prospects are for gains which match or slightly exceed those in Georgia's personal income.

STATE STRATEGIC PLAN THE NEW GEORGIA: THE VISION
A new day has dawned in Georgia. In a fundamental change of leadership philosophy, our New Georgia will have a state government that is principle-centered and people-focused. People are more important than politics and we will have a state government that truly is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The public trust in government will be restored by ensuring that in all business matters, strict codes of conduct and ethics are enforced and that leadership throughout state government provides an impeccable example for others to follow.
The public voice will be heard and government made more responsive by bringing decisionmaking closer to those citizens who are affected through local control and recognition of public sentiment on issues of great concern to the citizens of Georgia.
We will inspire results-oriented innovation and productivity by empowering our state employees on the frontlines; cutting unnecessary bureaucracy and regulation; and providing incentives for an effective and efficient state government in which getting results for the people carries a higher priority than the politics-of-the-day.
This new approach to state government encourages careful stewardship of the people's resources to meet the human needs of Georgians. Our New Georgia will be committed to an Educated Georgia, a Safe Georgia, a Healthy Georgia and a Growing Georgia.

An Educated Georgia
Education is the means by which we develop Georgia's most important resource, her people. As we work to improve the quality of jobs for Georgians, education will be the foundation of success, both for individual Georgians and for our state as a whole. We are committed to providing every child in this state with an opportunity to learn and to ensuring that no child is left behind. We will set standards for learning

and demand accountability for student progress. We will show respect for teachers by listening to their recommendations and concerns and by giving them greater control of their classrooms. We will enhance local control of education by cutting burdensome bureaucracy and regulations, and giving local superintendents, school boards and parents more control over their community's education decisions.

22

STATE STRATEGIC PLAN

We are committed to excellence in our postsecondary education system and to fostering a culture of life-long learning. We will protect the HOPE scholarship, support adult learning and help our institutions of higher learning continue to produce quality graduates and world-class research.
A Safe Georgia
A fundamental duty of any government is providing for the safety of its citizens. All Georgians should feel safe on their streets, in their communities and in their homes. We will protect our society from violent, dangerous felons. We will provide our law enforcement community with the tools and the resources to detect and prevent crimes-- and to respond swiftly and effectively when crimes do occur. We will maintain a criminal justice system that can dispense justice swiftly and surely. And we will increase our coordination and readiness to protect our citizens from the threat of terrorism and to respond to natural disasters.
A Healthy Georgia
A healthy Georgia is a strong Georgia. We will encourage Georgians to adopt healthy lifestyles and make access to sound and affordable medical care available to every Georgian. We will pay particular attention to the quality of health and human services for our most vulnerable citizens, including provision of child protective services, and care for developmentally disabled citizens and those with mental health challenges.
Georgia will lead the way in quality of life for senior citizens. We will open doors to

more long-term care options and shift the state emphasis in long-term care from nursing homes to home and communitybased settings.
We will continue to battle substance abuse in our state. Through a combined awareness, treatment and law enforcement approach, we will fight for a drug free Georgia.
A Growing Georgia
Our state is blessed with great economic resources and competitive advantages that can create opportunity and prosperity for all Georgians. We are committed to being good stewards of Georgia's economy by practicing fiscal responsibility in state government and by maintaining a business climate that sustains our existing companies, attracts new business and jobs to our state, and empowers small businesses to grow and to create jobs throughout Georgia.
We will train and educate Georgia's workforce to be well prepared for the job opportunities of the 21st century. We will extend our leadership in developing new technology resources and infrastructure and be aggressive in bringing economic vitality to rural Georgia as well as our cities.
We must balance the demands of growing Georgia's economy with ensuring a good quality of life for our citizens. We will improve our transportation systems to reduce congestion and improve mobility, encourage development of livable communities, and protect our air, water, green space and other natural resources for current and future generations.

READER'S GUIDE

The FY 2004 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications documenting the Governor's budget recommendations to the 2003 General Assembly and subsequent appropriations.
This Budget Report presents the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for FY 2004, which begins July 1, 2003 and ends June 30, 2004. 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 2003 General Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the current fiscal year that ends on June 30, 2003.
The Budget in Brief is published in late 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 2004 BUDGET REPORT
Department summaries make up the bulk of the report and departments can have as many as 9 separate information sections, with each section providing a different level of information. 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].

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 2001 and FY 2002 actual expenditures; FY 2003 current operating budget; and FY 2004 agency requests by adjusted base, enhancements (to be funded by corresponding reductions in other areas), and totals.
The second page of each summary includes the following information concerning the FY 2004 Governor's budget recommendations:
Current Budget The annual operating budget including approved amendments;
Budget Reductions Recommended decreases in the budget in response to the current economic slowdown;
Annualizers and Adjustments Includes 3 months funding for pay for performance not funded in FY 2003 and partially funded enhancements from FY 2003. Previous non-recurring and one-time expenditures are deducted, and other adjustments, including workload and transfer of funds among object classes, are incorporated.
Adjusted Base Consists of the summation of the Current Budget, Budget Reductions, and Annualizers and Adjustments recommendations; and
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 reduced, new, or expanded programs and services that are to be funded. Each column of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary.

READER'S GUIDE

Adjustments to Current Budget Adjusted Base - The first line lists the existing state appropriations for FY 2003, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for FY 2004 spending. These adjustments include budget reductions due to the current economic slowdown, and annualizers and other adjustments. These reductions, annualizers, and adjustments to the FY 2003 appropriation total provide the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his FY 2004 budget recommendations.
Enhancement Funds - The section explains the various enhancement recommendations. Also included in this grouping are any recommended capital outlay projects and programs. Capital outlay may include property acquisition, construction, renovation, major repair, and unique equipment needs that generally exceed the ability of agencies to fund within their regular operating appropriations.

It also requires agencies to view the budget requests as the first year of their multi-year capital plan.
Both the FY 2004 capital requests and recommendations and the FY 2005-2008 projections are organized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided using five 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 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.

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 expanded, 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 2004 Capital Outlay Projects, the Capital Improvement Program also displays Capital Outlay Projected Needs for FY 2005 through 2008, 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.

The FY 2004 capital outlay section also provides, for informational purposes only, capital outlay funding recommendations contained in the Governor's Amended FY 2003 Budget Report.
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 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

READER'S GUIDE

three by including actual results for RBB programs against previously identified desired results. The FY 2004 Budget Report continues to provide trend data by which to assess program impact.
Program Fund Allocations - The Program Fund Allocations summary provides the FY 2002 actual expenditures, FY 2003 current appropriations, and the Governor's FY 2004 budget recommendations for each program. Total and state funds are shown separately.

APPENDIX Several items of supplemental and general background
information are displayed in the appendix, 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 brief statistical overview of the state; the identification of acronyms; and a glossary of budget-related terms. ggggggg hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhdhdh

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 $69,167,200 on June 30, 2002.

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% 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, 2002 totaled $134,004,202.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2002 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: scholarships and student loans; voluntary prekindergarten for four-year-olds; costs of providing technology training to teachers and repairing and maintaining instructional technology; and capital improvements for education. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $565,000,000 for FY 2004. The Governor recommends moving $126,795,656 from the Amended FY 2003 budget to bring the FY 2004 budget to $691,795,656. The Governor recommends $691,795,656 for the following programs.
VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOUR-YEAR OLDS
The pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $250,490,013 in the FY 2004 budget including funds for projected growth in student count in the 2003-2004 school year to more than 65,900 four-year-olds.
The Pre-K program provides valuable school-readiness services to four-year-olds at both public and private prekindergarten sites throughout the State. The reimbursement rates to private providers are based on the region of the state due to varying costs of operations. The formula for determining funds necessary for the Pre-K program is based on a classroom of 20 students taught by a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. Also included in the formula is an allowance for educational materials, regular operating expenses, and equipment costs of opening a new Pre-K classroom. A special add of $8,000 is made for the equipment costs. FY 2004 Lottery proceeds recommended for the Pre-K program also fund the provision of ageappropriate educational books to Pre-K students, operation of classrooms in remote areas of the State, and evaluation of the quality of program delivery at Pre-K centers.
Total funding recommendations for FY 2004 include $23,012,500 for at-risk services such as resource coordination activities and transportation for needy Pre-K students. At-risk services also include the extension of the school day for students in the federal Head Start program to equal the length of the school day for students in the Georgia Pre-K program.
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 Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for FY 2003 consists of the following components. Students graduating from a Georgia high school have to maintain 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. These HOPE scholarships will be awards in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants (TEG).
All students working toward a diploma or certificate at public colleges or technical colleges in the state will receive a HOPE 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 2004 is projected to be $422,750,893.
The Georgia Military Scholarship program provides up to 78 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 2004 is $770,477.
The Public Safety Memorial Grant 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 2004 is $255,850.
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 for 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 2004 is projected to be $5,332,698.
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, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, childcare, transportation or other expenses related to education. Lottery funds recommended for this program total $5,855,278 for FY 2004.

The PROMISE II Scholarship provides cancelable loans to teacher aides or paraprofessionals displaced when class sizes were lowered, and state funding for paraprofessionals was not specifically provided in the QBE formula. Paraprofessionals and instructional aides working in Georgia, during the 1999-2000 school year, are eligible for this program. Starting Spring 2003, no new applications will be accepted for the PROMISE II program. Total funding for FY 2004 is projected to be $559,090.
Engineering Scholarships are provided as servicecancelable loans to Georgia residents who are engineering students at private accredited engineering universities in Georgia to retain them as engineers in the state. Recipients must work in an engineering-related field one year for each $3,500 received. The FY 2004 cost of this program is projected to be $760,000.
The total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $441,305,643.

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 Surplus Property System Transfer Application, 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 have previously received. Surplus Property processes about 360,000 transactions annually. Currently, some of the available surplus property can be viewed pictorially on-line.
EL ECTRONIC 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. In keeping with its vision of being the best business run by a government, DOAS is evaluating automated process improvements of key purchasing areas for implementation. The strategic process areas identified for successful implementation include: Use of electronic catalogs Streamlining and automation of internal requirements
to process requests and procurements Electronic issuance and receipt of solicitations Electronic billing and payment
The long-range goal of the E-Commerce program is to evolve DOAS into a business model that maximizes the capabilities of web based and other forms of technology in its daily business functions.

and resale, providing a means to efficiently manage the State passenger fleet. The new system will allow DOAS to: maintain a Web-based 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 $1.5M within the first three years of operation and reduce the number of state-owned on-road (light duty) vehicles by as much as 10% through implementation of a statewide Fleet Management Program. DOAS estimates an additional savings of as much as $400,000 could be achieved by timely identification of vehicles as candidates for replacement within the next fiscal year. Doing so would allow agency managers to take advantage of statewide vehicle contract pricing.
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 three 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.

STATEWIDE FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The State needs a comprehensive Fleet Management
System that will track all information on stateowned/operated vehicles from purchase through disposal. Information would include standard classification system, a single inventory database, operational costs depreciation,

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 county-

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Strategies and Services

by-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.
According to the rules governing the WC/MCOs, the certified entity must provide the following five services: Network of Medical Care Providers Nurse Case Management Services Utilization Review Medical Peer Review Services Dispute Resolution
A key feature of the Coordinated Medical Care (CMC) program is the proactive nature of its service delivery. Injured employees are to receive appropriate care within twenty-four hours of the notification of the injury. Additional medical treatment is coordinated and closely monitored by the case manager who becomes an active member of the State's dedicated workers' compensation team. This team includes the injured employee, the employee's supervisor, the DOAS Claims Specialist, the Nurse Case Manager, and the treating physician. The team will work collaboratively to facilitate the injured employee's full recovery and successful return to work.

Agencies that choose to participate in the CMC program will be provided with a WC/MCO Panel (WC-P3) to post, identifying DOAS/RMS as the medical contact. Injured employees and their supervisors will be able to contact Nurse Case Managers immediately (twenty-four hours per day) following an injury to initiate the case management process. Case management includes selection of an appropriate and accessible treating physician, physician referral, medical appointment confirmation and follow-up service with ongoing communication with all members of the workers' compensation team. This level of case management support will continue until the injured worker is fully recovered and working without restrictions. Agency participation in this coordinated medical care program is optional, and each Agency may elect which of the three panel options they will utilize.
Employees will benefit from the immediate and ongoing support provided by their workers' compensation team while the agencies for whom they work benefit both operationally and from a financial perspective. The Network of Medical Care Providers will receive training in the already successful Georgia Return-to-Work program (RTW). Commitment to RTW will reduce program costs in all areas, including the cost of indemnity benefits (salary replacement for lost time from work), medical benefits and litigation. 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.

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.

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 illustrates the activities occurring in these program areas.
FOOD AND MILK SAFETY The Food and Milk Safety Program consists of the
following types of inspections: retail food store, meat, and milk. The rising number of non-traditional retail sales establishments expanding into the retail food sector prompted the department to begin implementing a new electronic inspection system to cope with the added workload and other demands these developments in the retail food industry have placed on the department's inspectors. Additionally, the department's retail food inspectors are also continuing to receive advanced level training in all areas of food processing, including in-store meat processing, seafood handling, deli operations, and bakery operations in order to remain abreast of developments in the retail food field.
Meat inspectors currently inspect and license 148 red meat slaughter and processing facilities for the purpose of assuring the production of wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled meat/poultry products. The Meat Inspection program's responsibilities were expanded in 1995 with the commencement of the voluntary inspection program concerning ratite (i.e., ostrich, emu, rhea) slaughter and processing. The ratite meat program allows red meat slaughter/processing plants to be approved to slaughter/process ratite meat for sale to the public. Another event affecting the entire meat inspection program is the federal government's stipulation that state meat inspection programs convert to the Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS). This system, now fully implemented, electronically generates an objective inspection schedule and criteria based on the specified meat establishment's processes and compliance history.
Milk safety inspectors inspect dairy facilities for compliance with health and safety regulations concerning milk and dairy products. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected the Georgia Milk Safety Program as one of its state pilots in the development and development and testing of a new electronic inspection system to eventually be used nationwide.
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 120 counties. Projected collections for FY 2002 represent an additional 250,000 pounds.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT The department has primary authority for three Emergency Support Functions (ESF) of the Georgia Emergency Operations Plan. ESF 11 designates the Department as the primary agency responsible for all food related issues in a declared emergency. ESF 12, Energy, involves fuel related emergencies and ESF 14, Animals and Animal Industry, involves natural disasters and emergency diseases impacting domestic animals. Department personnel create, maintain, and exercise standard operating procedures for each ESF in order to mitigate, respond, and recover from disasters affecting Georgia.

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

AGRICULTURE PRODUCT PROMOTION
The department is continuing its activities to promote Georgia agricultural products in campaigns directed at the domestic and international markets. These campaigns use the theme "Georgia...Always In Good Taste" in publicizing and displaying Georgia products at food and trade shows nationally and internationally. The department is also pursuing broadening the use of the "Georgia...Always In

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - Strategies and Services

Good Taste" logo in concert with its product promotion efforts by 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 7,967 service stations and tested approximately 16,959 petroleum fuel and antifreeze samples for FY 2002.
STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL The Structural Pest Control Program regulates firms,
certified operators and employees involved in supplying household pest control services for controlling ants, roaches, and other insects, along with wood destroying organisms such as termites, wood destroying beetles, and wood destroying fungi. Program staff also conduct 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 HEALTH The livestock and poultry industry contributes to more
than half of Georgia's farm cash receipts. Assuring that these sectors are healthy and productive is one of the top priorities of the Animal Industry Division in conjunction with responsibilities to prevent, control, and eradicate certain infectious and communicable diseases of domestic animals.
The staff of veterinarians and inspectors works to preserve the health of food animals (cattle, swine, sheep, goats and poultry) equine, companion animals, and the general public. The Animal Industry division is charged with maintaining brucellosis, tuberculosis, and pseudorabies free status in livestock, controlling and eradicating equine infectious anemia, and controlling and eradicating swine brucellosis and pseudorabies in feral swine. The Division maintains surveillance for emerging diseases like West Nile virus and chronic wasting disease. Veterinarians investigate reportable diseases, including suspects of foreign animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Liaison with the Georgia Department of Human Resources on potential zoonotic disease conditions in animals that could impact human health is a priority. The Equine Health Section enforces the Humane Care for Equine Act, which requires humane treatment of all equine. Inspectors respond to approximately 1,500 complaints and impounded over 100 abused horses last year.
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.

data; as well as census, historical, and state agency data. Additionally, the database is incorporated into the state's Geographic Information System (GIS) planning efforts. Based on information collected from various sources, the department prepares numerous surveys, reports, documents, publications and studies.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE The department provides technical assistance to local
governments to help solve operational problems and improve management systems. Assistance activities include, but are not limited to personnel administration, building codes, public works, governmental organization/management practices, and regional development centers (RDCs).
The department provides training to local governments in a variety of administrative areas such as payroll, budget, accounting, and procurement. The department conducts code enforcement training for local government inspectors in implementing the statewide uniform construction and building codes. Additionally, training is provided to local governments that request assistance in installing a user fee system for local public works. The department also develops sample policy and procedure manuals for local law enforcement and other governmental organizations. Finally, the department provides training and technical assistance to local governments in the areas of housing and community and economic development, as well as technical assistance to small businesses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ASSISTANCE/ SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING
The department has primary responsibility for implementing the Planning Act of 1989 (Growth Strategies). In this regard, the department develops and administers appropriate standards and procedures for local comprehensive planning; reviews plans submitted by local governments; and certifies local governments as qualified participants in the planning process. In addition, the department fulfills its statutory obligation to the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act by reviewing the waste reduction strategies adopted by regional/local government coalitions.
INFORMATION The department has primary responsibility to serve as a
clearinghouse for information and initial point of contact within state government for information, data, resources and assistance regarding activity related to local governments. Staff time and efforts are devoted to ongoing development and enhancement to the Georgia database and network. The database contains over 10 years of local finance data: population, economic and other demographic

PARTICIPATION IN FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND ADMINISTRATION OF GRANTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The department administers the state and federal funds entrusted to the state for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) as well as Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grants and Revolving Loan Funds targeted to the 35 Appalachian Regional Commission counties. The department also functions as a manager and contract monitor for pass-through grants. Such grants/contracts administered by DCA include state contracts for Regional Planning and Development, Local Assistance Grants, Regional Economic and Business Assistance Grants and Local Government Efficiency Grants.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority
was created in 1999 to combat traffic congestion, air pollution and poorly planned development in the 13-county Atlanta region that is currently a "non-attainment" area under the federal Clean Air Act. The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority makes low cost loans available to local governments for water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste facilities and coordinates the remediation and removal of state-owned underground storage tanks. The Georgia Housing Finance Authority assists low and moderate income Georgians in obtaining affordable housing. The State Housing Trust Fund is the mechanism for channeling state funds to support project initiatives in Homeless Assistance programs, Low-Income Rental Housing programs, and Special Need Housing programs. The Georgia Sports Hall of Fame Authority has responsibility to operate, maintain and promote a facility to house the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. The State Commission on National & Community Service has responsibility for developing and implementing community service programs in Georgia. The OneGeorgia Authority supports local and regional economic development efforts targeted to tier 1 and 2 counties, which are the counties with the highest unemployment, poverty rates and lowest per capita income levels in the state.
AUTHORITY Titles 8, 12, 36, 48 and 50 of the Official Code of

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.

HOUSING & RENTAL ASSISTANCE DCA 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 multi-family housing assistance to encourage developers to increase the number of low-income residential rental developments they build or rehabilitate.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DCA is responsible for state administration of many
incentive and grant programs, as well as providing technical assistance in the area of economic development to local governments, development authorities, and private for-profit entities. This aspect of DCA's operations encompasses a wide range of programs and funding sources.
Programs range from the federal Community Development Block Grant Program and the Appalachian Regional Development Commission to the state-funded Downtown Development Revolving Loan Fund and the Regional Economic Assistance Projects. A large amount of the department's resources and staff time is dedicated to ensuring that these programs are administered effectively and efficiently.
REGIONAL & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT In recent years, DCA has focused attention on the
many community problems that transcend city and county boundaries. In order to address this issue, the department has in place regional development teams that consist of 2 DCA representatives in each of 11 planning regions outside of Atlanta. These teams assist communities in identifying state resources, facilitate regional or multigovernmental projects, and provide technical assistance and training to local governments in community leadership development. A Regional Advisory Council, drawn from local government and business leaders in each region, advises each regional team.
An important new tool in regional and economic development is the OneGeorgia Authority. In the 2002 session of the General Assembly, HB 1393 transferred the OneGeorgia Authority to the Department of Community Affairs. The Authority provides funding on a competitive basis for economic development projects in Tier 1 and 2 counties. These counties are the most economically depressed areas of the state based on per capita income levels and unemployment and poverty rates. While the authority supports traditional economic development projects, it will also support innovative solutions to local and regional challenges.

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
Another housing assistance area is the Housing and Urban Development, HUD Section 8 program. The program provides rent subsidies to landlords who agree to maintain their rental properties at the required Housing Quality Standards and to rent to qualified low-income families.
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
DCA's planning and environmental programs are designed to strengthen local governments' planning efforts. This includes not only helping local governments to invest their money wisely in roads, schools, water and sewers, but also providing guidance to develop and review local comprehensive plans, and to gain compliance with state planning requirements.
GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY
The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities.
The Governor is recommending $20 million in General Obligation bonds in the FY 2004 Budget to continue state support for the water and sewer loan program. This installment will provide 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.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Community Health (DCH) began operations on July 1, 1999. The agency's primary responsibility is to maximize the state's health care purchasing power and create administrative efficiency in the state's health care system. The department works to ensure that quality health care services are provided to a wide array of individuals, including state employees, teachers, university system personnel, and retirees; and those citizens who are eligible for Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids by virtue of being aged, low-income, or disabled. The department is additionally charged with identifying and evaluating available options that would provide health insurance coverage for the estimated 1.3 million Georgians currently uninsured. A nine-person board, appointed by the Governor, has policy-making authority for DCH.
The department has three major divisions: the Division of Medical Assistance, the Division of Health Planning, and the Division of Public Employee Health Benefits. DCH also has 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).
There are three Boards and one Commission 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; the State Medical Education Board, which administers medical scholarships and loans to promote medical practice in rural areas; and the Commission on Men's Health, which promotes the benefits of regular checkups, preventative screening tests, and healthy lifestyle practices.
DIVISION OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE The largest division in the department, the Division
of Medical Assistance, administers the Medicaid program, which purchases health care on behalf of 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 twelfth year of operation in 2002. Utilizing

intergovernmental transfers, the ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians and covers the Medicaid costs for the Rightfrom-the-Start population, which includes pregnant women and children with incomes up to 185% of the federal poverty level.
The division is also responsible for the 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 PUBLIC EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFITS
The Division of Public Employees Health Benefits administers the State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP), which provides health insurance coverage to more than a half million state employees, teachers, retirees and their dependents. The SHBP offers members several coverage options including a preferred provider option (PPO), several HMO choices, and a traditional indemnity plan. The Division also shares administrative responsibilities with the Board of Regents for their Health Plan, allowing for the concurrent management of both health plans.
DIVISION OF HEALTH PLANNING Formerly the State Health Planning Agency,
Georgia's health planning program was originally established to award Certificates of Need (CONs). CONs help contain health care costs by avoiding unnecessary duplication of services, equipment and facilities. The division also 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. Additionally, the division works closely with the Healthcare Workforce Policy Advisory Committee, a legislativelycreated body charged with monitoring and addressing the supply, mix, distribution and practice aspects of nursing, allied health and behavioral health professionals.

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 everchanging environment. The department's primary strategy over the next year will revolve around controlling the growth of healthcare expenditures in the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs.
MEDICAID COST DRIVERS Between fiscal years 2001 and 2002, Medicaid benefit
expenditures grew from $3.8 billion to $4.4 billion, representing a 16.7% overall increase. This trend exceeds the national average for Medicaid growth in other states. Findings from the recent Kaiser Family Foundation Survey show a national trend in the range of 12% to 13% growth. Some specific reasons for Georgia's higher increases are attributable to: Significant increases in Medicaid enrollment resulting
from the economic recession. Enrollment trends through March 2002 reflected an average enrollment increase of 7% or almost 71,000 additional eligibles each month as compared to FY 2001. Eligibility for Low Income Medicaid (LIM) paralleled the rising Georgia unemployment rate with almost a one-to-one correlation. Georgia, and particularly the Atlanta area, was more adversely impacted by the recession as compared to the rest of the nation, primarily because of the concentration of industries the state's economy depends on (i.e., technology, communications, travel, and hotel industries).

Aggressive expansion of Medicaid programs as a result of the state's revenue maximization initiatives. Beginning in late FY 2001, the state significantly increased its efforts to obtain federal reimbursement for health services being paid with 100% state funds. A review of healthcare services revealed that the state could receive additional federal Medicaid funding by expanding the scope of benefits Medicaid covered and by ensuring agencies were claiming Medicaid reimbursement on behalf of their eligible clients when Medicaid services were provided.
Increases in provider rates at a time when other states were reducing reimbursement to providers. At a minimum, the state continued to provide inflationary reimbursement increases for hospital, nursing home, and physician services.
Although Georgia had some unique factors that contributed to a higher than normal increase in expenditures (as compared to other states), there were other cost drivers contributing to the program's double-digit growth. Many of these cost drivers are common in other states' programs. As previously noted, enrollment increases and the expansion of Medicaid services through revenue maximization initiatives accounted for a significant portion of the 16.7% increase in FY 2002 expenditures over FY 2001. In fact, combined, these two factors contributed to 43% of the $629 million increase.
Pharmacy expenditures were the next biggest cost driver, accounting for 16% of the overall expenditure increase. Despite the still significant increase in pharmacy expenditures of 16.9% over FY 2001, the trend is down from a 20.1% increase the previous year. When controlling for enrollment growth, the increase in the cost per member declined fro m 14.9% in FY 2001 to 9.1% in FY 2002. The gradual reduction in growth is likely attributed to the use of a pharmacy benefit manager, beginning October 2000, and the implementation of several new pharmacy policy changes in 2001.
The remaining cost drivers, contributing a total of 40% of the annual growth, were generally distributed evenly between inpatient (8%) and outpatient (7%) hospital services, physician services (6%), nursing home care (10%), and other miscellaneous services such as dental care (9% ). Much of these increases were expected as reimbursement rates were increased for several of these services. Additionally, marginal increases in utilization were expected and factored into benefit expenditure projections as part of the appropriations process.

Source: The Medstat Group, FY 2002 Medicaid Cost Driver

Despite an expectation that expenditures would increase, the significant growth was alarming and an independent evaluation of Medicaid claims data was performed in the fall of 2002 to better define the impetus behind the program's cost drivers. Although the evaluation produced a detailed analysis of several areas, the following findings (SOURCE: The Medstat Group, FY2002 Medicaid Cost Driver Project Final Report) are among the most pertinent: High cost cases. An evaluation of FY 2002 claims data
revealed that 4.5% of Medicaid recipients (58,000 people) account for almost half of the total costs. The majority of this group costs the state around $32,000 per year, while the top 300 recipients of this group cost an average of $210,000 per year. Eighty-four percent of these members are blind or disabled and have diagnoses of mental retardation, chronic renal disease, respiratory illness, cancer, heart disease, or AIDS. Emergency Room Use. As was the situation with high cost cases, a small number of members account for a disproportionate share of utilization and cost for emergency room services. While 74% of members never visit the ER in any given year, 14% of all visits are incurred by the less than 1% of the population who visit the ER 6 or more times a year. Additionally, 29% of the ER visits are for non-emergent care, indicating that a significant number of members are utilizing the ER for primary care instead of obtaining care in more traditional types of settings, such as doctor's offices or community health clinics.

Low birth-weight babies. Georgia's Medicaid program pays for over half of the deliveries in the state each year. As a result, 63% of Medicaid inpatient hospital admissions are related to newborn and delivery care. The inpatient hospital cost of a low birth weight neonate is anywhere from 3 times ($3,600 for neonates greater than 2500 grams) to 70 times ($96,000 for neonates less than 750 grams) greater than the cost of a normal newborn admis sion ($1,365). In FY 2002, 26% of the newborns covered by Medicaid were diagnosed as other than normal as a result of a lower birth weight or other complications. Lack of prenatal care is strongly associated with an increased risk for low birth weight infants, pre-term delivery and maternal and infant mortality (SOURCE: The Medstat Group, FY2002 Medicaid Cost Driver Project Final Report).
These findings suggest a need for improved coordination and management of care. In all three scenarios, high costs seem to have resulted from members who have chronic conditions requiring them to access healthcare from multiple healthcare providers or who do not appropriately utilize the healthcare services provided to them. Coordination of care would ensure that me mbers more appropriately access healthcare in the right settings and at the right time and do not duplicate care or risk complication of treatment by receiving care from multiple providers who might be unapprised as to what other healthcare providers are doing.
REFORM Given the state's uncertain economic future and the
knowledge that healthcare expenditures will continue to increase under the current programmatic structure, the state is faced with a dilemma: healthcare expenditure trends are double digit while state revenues are single digit in good economic times and flat or negative in bad economic times.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - Strategies and Services

The challenge to the state is to slow the rate of growth in areas that can be controlled while purchasing effective, quality healthcare on behalf of the citizens eligible for coverage. To achieve this goal, the department has adopted a set of guiding principles as it identifies options it might pursue to control the growth of Medicaid: Keep people as healthy as possible for as long as
possible; Provide services in the setting most appropriate to meet
the person's needs in the most cost-effective manner; Coordinate the delivery of healthcare; and Determine desirable outcomes and reward providers
for meeting or exceeding the standards of care.
In considering options, the state has evaluated the actions other states have taken or are taking to address growth and have also entertained various proposals by organizations that claim they can produce substantial savings for the state. The state has already implemented many of the options other states are employing to control growth. For some options, the state is ineligible to pursue them as a result of the structure of Georgia's Medicaid plan. Some options are less than desirable, as other states have controlled growth by reducing the scope of benefits or the number of members who are Medicaid-eligible. One of the

biggest challenges the state faces in evaluating options is to ensure that short-term actions don't impact long-term reform.
In conjunction with the agency's own internal analyses, including the independent evaluation of Medicaid claims data, the Department has concluded that more intensive care management can improve care outcomes, thereby reducing cost in the ol ng run. Because the network of providers delivering care to Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids members is expansive and unconnected, any significant changes to the overall healthcare delivery system must focus on coordination of care, particularly for members who are chronically ill or disabled.
The department plans to develop and release a Request for Information (RFI) to formally solicit recommendations from external entities. The respondents will be asked to suggest program design changes, potential solutions, and other recommendations for the state to consider. Additionally, the state will learn of respondents' ability to provide the system of care the state seeks. The state intends to use what it gleans from the RFI to develop a Medicaid Demonstration Waiver, and ultimately a Request for Proposal, all to occur during CY 2003.

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 47,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 134,000 offenders are on probation, 5,700 of whomare 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 supervision 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 (40). 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 (29). 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 (16). 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 Corrections 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 la w 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.
AUTHORITY Titles 9, 42 and 77 of the Official Code of Georgia
Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
Strategies and Services

In 2001, Georgia's prison population grew at 3.9%, representing an additional 1,705 beds. During the same time period, the nations prison population rose at the lowest rates since 1972, rising just three-tenths of a percent. Georgia's growth placed the state second in the nation in prison growth, only lagging behind the Federal prison system. Georgia's continued growth has allowed the state to catapult 2 slots since 2001 to the ranks of having the 6th largest prison system in the nation.
The amount of time an offender serves in prison has been the growth driver. Once sentenced to prison, inmates serve increasingly longer prison terms. Laws and policies have been put in place requiring longer lengths of stay. The "Two Strikes" law and the Parole Boards "90 percent policy" are two of the main drivers of the population growth. There are over 6,000 inmates serving "One or Two Strike" sentences in Georgia. An additional 8,000 inmates are serving under the Parole Board's 90 percent policy. The growth related to the Parole Board policy has been absorbed; however, it is estimated that approximately 800 "One and Two Strike" inmates will infiltrate the system for several more years.
The Governor has consciously made decisions focusing on efficient utilization of existing resources. The systems 48,083 secure, hard beds should be available for violent offenders to serve long sentences, while non-violent offenders should serve their sentence in a less secure, less expensive option. In order to ensure that violent offenders serve their time, the Governor proposes $40 million, for the purchase of a 1,600-bed prison. In addition to recommending a new prison, operating funds of $9.9 million is provided for 759 new prison beds coming on-line. The Governor's budget recommendation will allow the felons of this state to continue to serve long prison sentences for violent crimes.
In addition to providing secure bed space for the violent predators of the state, the Governor recommends $12.4 million to operate 1,314 alternative beds. A continued balance of prison resources is prudent. Without less secure facilities for placement, nonviolent offenders will fill slots that should be allocated for the violent offenders. These facilities will enable the state to continue to be a leader in correctional resource utilization efficiencies.
The Governor's budget recommendation for the Department of Corrections 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, offering a less costly alternative bed for the non-violent offender.
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 Amended FY 2003 and FY 2004 budget recommendations includes operating and start-up funding for the following facilities:
Amended FY 2003 Recommendation: Bacon Probation Detention Center - 192 beds FY 2004 Recommendation: Long Probation Detention Center - 192 beds GDCP Expansion - 192 beds Valdosta Diversion Center - 100 beds DeKalb Transitional Center - 192 beds Bleckley Probation Detention Center - 192 beds Appling Probation Detention Center - 192 beds Capital Funding: Stewart County Prison 1,600 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.
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

118

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and Services

in 2000. As of December 2002, the jail backlog was 2,067.
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. As of December 2002, the Georgia Jail Summary reported the number of individuals in county jails at 29,727. The number consisted of 17,705 awaiting trial, 4,531 county inmates, 4,015 other inmates and 3,476 sentenced to state prisons or parole / probation issues.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS/COURT SERVICES Fiscal Year 2001 was the first year in which no new
misdemeanant cases were assigned to state probation supervision. Accordingly, the misdemeanant population decreased from 5% of the total probation population at the beginning of the fiscal year to only 2% of the population by the end of the year. However, since the felon population continued to grow, the net effect on the probation population was less than 1.5% and FY 2002 ended with only 1,800 fewer probationers than FY 2001.
With approximately 134,000 probationers, the average caseload size for the standard level probation officer remained unchanged at more than 250 probationers per officer. The Probation Division's response to the caseload size has been a review and modification of the Risk Based Supervision Model.

information about the quality of contacts will be much easier to review and evaluate and the reliance on simple quantity of contacts will be reduced.
COMMUNITY BED SPACE Since the beginning of FY 2001, Diversion Centers and
Detention Centers gained 647 beds and another 635 are expected within the year. The average length of stay in these centers is three to four months, meaning that the same bed space can be "turned over", or used by a different offender, up to four times a year. Using community residential beds in lieu of prison beds for lower risk offenders means that more costly prison beds can be reserved for more violent offenders who are a great threat to the public.
CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS Although it is frequently difficult to put into practice,
the philosophy of offering offenders the means to rehabilitation is simple: Determine what offender needs predict a tendency toward recidivism and address those needs. The research in this area, often described as the "what works" literature, identifies several offender needs that can be expected to result in criminal behavior. These include substance abuse, anti-social attitudes, lack of problem-solving skills, and employment difficulties. Over 80% of all probationers have a history of substance abuse. A number of methodologies have been utilized to address offender needs. The number of drug tests administered to probationers increased more than 40% from FY 2001 to FY 2002. The number of referrals to local substance abuse treatment providers rose by over 6%. In areas where substance abuse treatment providers were not available at a cost that offenders could afford, the Department of Corrections contracted with carefully screened providers to provide group treatment.

RISK BASED SUPERVISION MODEL Scheduled to go into effect during the second quarter of
FY 2003, the new Risk Based Supervision Model relies on a new risk assessment instrument. After more than a year of research and validation studies, the new risk assessment instrument and the accomp anying reassessment instrument are each shorter and faster to complete.

One of the Department's most successful efforts to deal with offenders' substance abuse issues is the Griffin Recovery Intervention Probation Program. This program, limited to the Griffin Judicial Circuit, has maintained a very low rate of recidivism among its graduates. There are currently negotiations under way to extend the program to parolees in the Griffin area.

The model itself has also been revised for FY 2003, now consisting of four rather than three levels of active supervision along with the administrative level. Like the original model, the new model still has guidelines with regard to the number of contacts per month between the probation officer and the probationer. However, the new case management system, State Corrections Repository of Information System (SCRIBE), will change the way these contacts are measured. For the first time, it will be possible to determine the type of contact between the officer and the offender without obtaining access to the actual field book. As of the beginning of FY 2003,

Beginning in late FY 2001, two new options for substance abuse treatment became available. The Atlanta Day Reporting Center, based on many of the same tenets as the Griffin Recovery Intervention Probation Program, opened in April. The center provides extended hours of individual and group counseling, classes, and treatment for parolees and probationers. In addition to a concentration on substance abuse issues, the center also offers offenders assistance with finding and maintaining employment and with addressing attitudes that have interfered with the successful completion of the supervision sentences. The center is currently limited to the Atlanta Judicial Circuit and

119

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and Services

is a partnership effort between the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, and the Department of Corrections.
The Bainbridge Probation Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center also opened in FY 2001. The center, currently limited to circuits in southern Georgia, provides intensive substance abuse treatment to male probationers.
In addition to the individual work of probation officers with probationers, the problems of antisocial attitudes and the lack of problem solving skills are being addressed by a formal program called Reasoning and Rehabilitation. The program is already in place in Athens, Atlanta, Calhoun, Columbus, Covington, Marietta, and Moultrie. The goal of the program is to replace reactive, impulsive behavior with more pro-social responses. Employment for probationers seems to be an ongoing problem, in part because of the other criminogenic needs. For the most part, helping the offender in his efforts to find and maintain employment has been left to individual probation officers or local efforts. For example, a local job fair for offenders held in December of 2001 was a joint effort among the Programs Division, the Atlanta Day Reporting Center, the Atlanta Specialized Supervision Unit, and the North Fulton Parole Office. An exception to this is the Savannah Impact Program.
The Savannah Impact Program is collaboration among the Department of Corrections, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Labor, and the Savannah Police Department. The center provides treatment for each of the criminogenic needs, including a strong component for employment.
Overall, the Probation Division is committed to working with the Programs Division to ensure that the right programs are offered to probationers, that those programs are delivered in the right way, and that the programs have the right results.

Risk Reduction Services has plans to provide effective programming at every level...from street probation, to Day Reporting Centers, to Diversion and Detention Centers, on through our State Prisons and Transitional Centers. In order to be successful, we must concentrate on developing a program model that offers services to offenders based on assessed risk, need, and responsivity factors. The model must contain an Assessment component, the four (4) basic program tracks (Cognitive-Behavioral, Substance Abuse, Education, and Employment), a Family/Community (Aftercare) component, and an Evaluation component to demonstrate the model's effectiveness in reducing recidivism. The model concept has been introduced to management in the Facilities Division and the Probation Division and sites representative of every secure and nonsecure option available to our system have been selected to serve as "model sites". The first model program is scheduled for implementation in January 2003.
Risk Reduction Services will continue to support the programming that is currently in place throughout the system, working with staff to ensure that these programs are operating as effectively and efficiently as possible. The model sites will be used to improve on what we do and to test the effectiveness of our program components so that, eventually, other sites have access to a model that can successfully impact their respective populations.
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH SERVICES The mission of the Office of Health Services is to
provide the required constitutional level of health care in the most efficient, cost effective and humane manner possible. For FY 2001, inmate health care cost increased from $8.86 per inmate per day to $9.60 per inmate per day. The increase in cost is related to a nationwide increase in pharmaceutical cost as well as an increasing mental health and ageing inmate population. Between FY 2000 and FY 2001 the mental health inmate population increased by 482 inmates, to a total of 5,737 inmates.

OFFENDER PROGRAMS Preparing offenders to accept responsibility for their
acts, to restore harm done to their communities and to lead productive, crime-free lives is the one goal that is central to all Divisions within the Georgia Department of Corrections. The Programs Division has developed its Operational Plan around this goal and sees this as the key to reducing recidivism. As a result, Risk Reduction Services is committed to providing research-based programming that has been proven to be effective in changing offender behavior through cognitive restructuring, substance abuse treatment, education, and the development of employment skills . There are, of course, other factors that contribute to criminal behavior, but none come close to consistently having the negative effect that these four risk factors have on an individual's ability to lead productive, crime-free lives.

The ageing inmate population has directly affected the need for chronic care beds. Approximately 35% of the prison population is enrolled in chronic care clinics. Overall, 6% of the prison population requires a specialized medical bed, e.g. assisted living, acute care, infirmary care, respiratory care, etc. Further, approximately 14% of the population is on a mental health caseload.
At present there are 134 medical beds at Augusta State Medical Prison and another 146 infirmary beds throughout the system. Emphasis will continue to be placed on maximizing emergency care on-site and more efficient infirmary bed utilization and, in turn, provide a reduction in off-site hospital care.

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 In 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 2003, the Governor recommended $2,000,000 in bonds, which will receive $6,000,000 in Federal matching funds 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 will be complex, the benefits gained in terms of relinquishing responsibilities and expenses will be well worth the effort.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

Georgia continues to invest in its most precious resource for the future, its children. Despite difficult budget times, the state continues to move forward on strategies that improve student achievement and ultimately improve the life chances of the children of our state. In the Amended FY 2003, the Governor is recommending an additional $115,469,231 toward the Quality Basic Education(QBE) formula for local school systems to address a 1.8% increase in the student population. An additional $2,634,485 is recommended in equalization funds for systems that increased their millage rate. In FY 2004, the state is continuing to move forward in the implementation of the equalization grants program funding the program at the 70% level, up 15 percent from the FY 2003 funding level. A total of $15,008,868 is recommended in FY 2004 for equalization. An additional $161,642,430 for QBE is recommended in FY 2004 for a 1.8% increase in the full-time student population.
The state recognizes teachers as key personnel in any strategy to improve the quality of education. Georgia underscores its commitment to students by implementing strategies that improve teacher quality. These strategies work to ensure that Georgia recruits, retains and continually develops a highly qualified cadre of teachers. Some of those efforts include providing a 10% salary increase to teachers that earn National Board Certification, maintaining the highest teachers' salary in the southeast, and evaluating the state's staff development offerings in efforts to provide the most effective staff development to teachers in improving student achievement.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TESTING
ACCOUNTABILITY The federal government is implementing an
educational policy, known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, to encourage states and localities to increase accountability by developing a system of sanctions and rewards to hold school districts responsible for improving academic achievement.
Georgia has been developing and implementing accountability standards that are similar to the new federal standards and is emerging as a state with an established student testing system to document student achievement. Georgia's testing programs will comprehensively assess students' educational achievement from kindergarten through high school.
STATE TESTING To measure how well Georgia students learn and retain
knowledge of the Quality Core Curriculum (QCC), the

Georgia Department of Education developed the CriterionReferenced Competency Tests (CRCT), which yieldsinformation on academic achievement at the student, class, school, system, and state levels. This information provides 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 CRCT data will be used as part of a battery of accountability measures for identifying means of improving student achievement and school completion.
Current Georgia law 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. From the 2000 to the 2002 administrations of the CRCT, the percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards increased for students in all grades and in all subject areas. The greatest overall improvements were made in reading, 4th grade reading and 8th grade math in particular. Results of the Spring 2002 administration also showed that more African American students improved in reading than did their counterparts with significant growth in the percentage who met or exceeded standards at all grade levels. Also in reading, the achievement gap between White and African American students and White and Hispanic students decreased at all grade levels.
PRELIMINARY SAT (PSAT)
In order to assist high school students with preparing for the SAT, the Department of Education encourages students to take the PSAT. The Governor recommends the continuation of funds in FY 2004 that enable all 10th graders to take the PSAT free of charge. In addition to funding the PSAT exam, the state also purchases a report called the Summary of Answers for all Georgia high schools whose 10th graders participate in the PSAT administration. This report is a valuable diagnostic tool that provides details of student PSAT responses by classroom and is directly linked to the QCC. The Summary of Answers can be utilized by teachers and administrators for determining 10th grade students' strengths and weaknesses in specific content areas and can therefore guide efforts to improve student learning and achievement.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMS The state also offers Advanced Placement (AP) exams
free of charge to encourage students to take AP courses and exams. The rigor of AP classes has proven to better prepare students for postsecondary scholarships and can also provide an exemption from first level courses in college.

147

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Services and Strategies

Under current policy, the state provides full funding for all AP exams taken by eligible Georgia students. In order to continue to fully fund this policy, an additional $1,600,000 would be required in FY 2004. However, due to severe budgetary constraints, the Governor is recommending $365,000 in additional funds in FY 2004. This funding level will continue to encourage students to take the rigorous AP classes by paying for one AP exam per student and for all AP exams for students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch.
TEACHER QUALITY
STAFF DEVELOPMENT 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 ensure that all are able to successfully meet our state and federal 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. 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 teacher's individual needs and advancing the organizational goals of their schools and districts.
During FY 2002 and early FY 2003 the Department of Education conducted an evaluation of staff development. The evaluation identified the various types of staff development provided throughout the state and assessed its impact on student achievement. The findings from 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.
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.

Acknowledging NBC as a corollary to improved teacher quality and a prestigious signature of professional accomplishment, Georgia maintains a commitment to recognizing and increasing the state's pool of National Board certified teachers. Georgia is among 48 states that provide regulatory or legislative support for National Board Certification, and among a select 21 states that provide financial assistance with the $2,300 application fee and a salary supplement.
The state's commitment to NBC has resulted in a growing number of teachers to successful earn the credential. Prior to school year 2000-2001, Georgia had a statewide total of 116 NBC teachers. In school year 20012002, that number more than tripled as 310 candidates earned NBCs bringing the statewide total to 426. In November of 2002, Georgia had the sixth highest number of candidates (380) to successfully achieve NBC during the 2001-2002 application process, up from seventh place in the 2000-2001 cohort. Georgia now has 806 teachers holding NBC.
In FY 2004, an additional $2,376,442 is recommended to provide the 10% salary increase to all 806 teachers.
TEACHER SALARIES Georgia 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 $41,991, which is $2,082 below Georgia's average teacher salary. Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina are approximately $4,800 below Georgia's average teacher salary. Georgia counties that border these states are seeing an increase of qualified out-of-state teachers coming to teach within the state.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Services and Strategies

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 2001-2002, the average teacher salary in Georgia rose from $32,291 to $44,073, an increase of 36%. According to the National Education Association, Georgia ranks 17th nationally in average salaries of public school teachers.
GEORGIA VOLUNTARY PREKINDERGARTENPROGRAM
Georgia is proud to have the largest and most comprehensive pre-kindergarten program serving 4-yearolds and their families of any state in the country, and the

Georgia Pre -Kindergarten (Pre-K) program continues to be a model for the rest of the nation.
Governor Perdue is maintaining a strong commitment to the Pre-K Program by recommending that it remain second only to the HOPE Scholarship as a beneficiary of Lottery proceeds. In alignment with this commitment, the Governor's recommends $250,490,013 in FY 2004 Lottery funds for the Pre-K program, which will provide quality Pre-K instruction in more than 3,300 classrooms throughout the state.
The Pre-K program educates Georgia's four-year-olds at both public and private schools. Lottery funds are granted to Pre-K providers for salaries and benefits of lead and assistant teachers at a ratio of 1 teacher for each 10 students. Pre-K funds also provide educational materials, regular operating expenses, the equipment costs of opening a new Pre-K classroom, and transportation to school for atrisk students.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Roles and Responsibilities

By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) administers 7 separate retirement systems and programs: ERS, the Legislative Retirement System (LRS), the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP), the Georgia Judicial Retirement System (GJ RS), the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS), the State Employees' Assurance Department (SEAD), and the Social Security contracts between the state and its political subdivisions.
In general, ERS is a vehicle for collecting employee and employer contributions, investing accumulated funds, and disbursing retirement benefits to members and beneficiaries. As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet the future obligations of each retirement plan. An independent accounting firm also audits the system each year.
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM Since 1950, the staff of ERS has administered
retirement benefits for state employees in accordance with the Official Code of Georgia. Full-time employees of participating departments are required to become members of ERS as a condition of employment, with the exception of employees who first become eligible after age 60.
The ERS Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for administration of the system, while the executive director who is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members is responsible for daily management of ERS operations. The board consists of 7 members as follows: State Auditor, ex officio Commissioner, State Merit System, ex officio Director, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex
officio One member appointed by the Governor Two members appointed by the first 4 members
with 5 or more years of creditable service with ERS and One member appointed by the first 6 members who must not hold public office, not be an ERS member, and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of money The members who are not ex officio members serve 4-year 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 7 ERS trustees plus 3 additional members appointed by the Governor who serve in 1 of the following positions: state court judge, superior court judge, state court solicitor-general, juvenile court judge, or district attorney. These appointments are for 4year terms.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM
PSERS offers a supplemental retirement plan to certain public school employees not covered by TRS. These employees include bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians. The PSERS Board of Trustees consists of the seven ERS trustees plus 2 additional members appointed by the Governor for 4-year terms.
STATE EMPLOYEES' ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT SEAD offers Group Term Life Insurance to active and
retired ERS members. The SEAD Board of Trustees consists of the State Auditor, the Commissioner of the Department of Labor, the Commissioner of the State Merit System, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and 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.

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.
The State Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forestland, which represents an approximate $36 billion asset. The Commission has 3 budget unit divisions, which include: Re forestation, Field Services, and General Administration and Support. They provide a wide variety of services to the rural forest landowner and offer technical assistance to landowners in urban areas.
FOREST PROTECTION
Forest Protection, the primary function of the State 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 tractorplow 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 State 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 costshare technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the department conducts the management of four state-owned and two 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 two 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 development 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.
AUTHORITY
Title 12-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

162

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 State Forestry Commission's mission is to enhance the socioeconomic quality of life for all citizens of the state.
REFORESTATION
The State Forestry Commission has grown forest tree seedlings for Georgia's landowners for 86 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 Reforestation Division, working cooperatively within the Tree Improvement Program, provides a reliable source of seed and the opportunity to exploit 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 50% and improved growth by 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 15% 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 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 State Forestry Commission will offer 43 million seedlings for sale to Georgia landowners. Three to four thousand citizens will purchase trees from Georgia's state and private nurseries. Though predominantly southern pines, the inventory also includes over a dozen species of hardwoods. These seedlings will reforest more than 58,000 acres, many in highly urban areas of the state. Not all seedlings sold are planted for wood production; many are planted specifically to provide erosion control, prevent solar heating, provide wildlife food and habitat, and to enhance aesthetic value.
FIELD SERVICES
The primary role of the State Forestry Commission is to protect the state's 24 million acres of forestland from the destructive effects of wildfires. The current two-year average shows an occurrence of 9,381 wildfires annually that burn over 43,400 acres. The average size of wildfires for this time period is 4.7 acres. Drought conditions

continue to increase the number of catastrophic wildfires that damage and destroy not only timber but wood structures as well. Primary causes of wildfires continue to be debris burning and incendiary. Both of these causes are being attacked through fire prevention and education programs.
The strategy of the State Forestry 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. The State Forestry Commission maintains 19 fixed wing aircraft for fire detection and suppression activities. Additionally, the commission maintains one commercial helicopter and three military helicopters that have been retrofitted to carry water to support ground fire suppression activities. The helicopters have been credited with saving many acres of timberland as well as homes and lives.
The State Forestry Commission, through the Protection Program, provides landowners with firebreak plowing. 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 one 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. Urban interface is the place where houses and forests meet and the increase of interfacing is causing the State Forestry Commission to rethink methods of attack and suppression. Equipment that has water capabilities is being inserted into the suppression forces of the State Forestry Commission and training to handle interface fires has been a priority for the past several years.
The State Forestry Commission has as an initiative in the near future to perform risk management assessments for all Georgia communities. The assessment will include proposals to mitigate the threat of wildfire in interface areas. There are 1,362 fire trucks that have been provided to local fire departments across the state at costs the communities could afford. They continue to fabricate firefighting equipment and make it available to a

163

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

community at very reasonable costs. Availability of this equipment not only provides protection to the community, but also results in decreased cost of homeowners insurance through lowered rate structures.
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.
Forest Stewardship assistance encourages and enables non-industrial private landowners to practice better stewardship of their environmental, historic, and recreational resources. The detection and control of forest pest and diseases is a 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 state Environmental Protection Division (EPD), 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 EPD and conduct BMP compliance surveys in order to meet the federal Clean Water Act.
The State Forestry Commission manages a number of state forests for research and demonstrational purposes to improve landowners' timber management as well as for economic gain for the state. Approximately $500,000 worth of timber is harvested from their state forests each year.
FOREST EDUCATION
The Forest Education Program provides information to the public about Georgia's forest resources and how

these resources create jobs and provide environmental benefits. The 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 55 Georgia communities.
Further, the Education Program compiles and analyzes data that serve to describe and quantify the actions and impacts of timber harvesting, product flows, and volumes of individual species. Increasing media contacts and informative publications will all serve to bridge the gap between the forest resource arena and the public. The 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 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 Forest Education Program is also involved in the expansion of existing industries and the locating of companies that can further process raw forest materials produced in Georgia. This is accomplished by assisting the private sector so as to increase wood utilization and decrease waste.
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 a recognized leader in the forestry area, the State Forestry Commission's strategies and services are geared to enhance the quality of life for all the citizens of Georgia.

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Strategies and Services

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation provides invaluable services by assisting local, state and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Georgia. As new innovations and technological advances become available, assisting in investigations continues 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 provides scientific
support to criminal justice agencies to enable them to detect, apprehend and prosecute criminals. This division is is the main source for forensic services available to the criminal justice community in Georgia. The division serves the entire state of Georgia through a headquarters laboratory (Atlanta) and 6 regional laboratories. 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.

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 bureau received 83 additional forensic positions and $2.6 million for lab equipment. The 2001 year-end backlog was at 1,400, which was the lowest it has been since FY 1992. The backlog increased in FY 2002 to 4,845 due to an increase in DNA received from convicted felons to comply with the recent law creating a central DNA database. This number, while approximately 3,400 more than FY 2001 is still far lower than in previous years. Compared to FY 1999 backlog of 35,857 cases, FY 2002 represented a reduction of over 31,000 cases. In addition to the dramatic reduction of the backlog, the bureau was able to complete 127,024 cases versus FY 1999's 88,490 cases.
CRIME INFORMATION CENTER Firearms Program (Instant Background Check)
The Firearms Program provides a national background check for firearms purchasers. Administered to be in conformity with the provisions of Georgia law and the federal Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act, the program provides the means for a federally licensed firearms dealer to call a 1-800 number to obtain an "instant check" on individuals prior to the transfer/sale of a firearm. This check is to insure that the individual is permitted to possess a handgun or long gun. In FY 2002, the Georgia Crime Information Center processed 205,582 transactions and 8,421 were denied. This represented a decrease of 1,639 transactions from the previous fiscal year. In FY 2001 the center processed 207,221 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.
The bureau receives fingerprint images electronically from law enforcement agencies able to transmit images directly into the bureau's AFIS via a Live Scan device. Eighty-two agencies transmit images and data electronically to the bureau. These agencies provide arrest-booking services to many other agencies in their area. Electronic images are received from over 280 agencies.
The AFIS database files currently contain prints for 2,423,859 offenders. The database also contains 5,106 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the above databases. These prints are stored for future reference.

171

GEORGIA BUREAU OF IN VESTIGATION - Strategies and Services

Victim Protection Order Registry In 2001, the Georgia Crime Information Center
implemented a registry of all Georgia protection orders. The Georgia file provides for a centralized database for the state protection orders and qualifying orders are submitted electronically to the FBI's National Protection Order file. The registry provides for 24-hour information for officers and results in the enhanced safety of citizens and police officers involved in situations involving potential domestic abuse and other violent altercations.
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 8 agents including a child abuse specialist and a crime scene specialist. In FY 2002, the entire investigative division conducted investigations on 11,118 cases, and logged a total of 410,033 investigative hours.
During FY 2003, the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center (GISAC) was established in response to the terrorists attacks of September 11, 2001. The center collects, evaluates, and then distributes terrorist threat analyses related to public safety information to local, state, and federal agencies; educational institutions; private sector interests; and other appropriate entities.
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 2002, the regional drug enforcement offices accounted for 1,051 drug investigations, which resulted in $31.6 million of seized contraband.
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 bureau, the Attorney General's Office and the Department of Audits. Since its inception, in March 1995, the division has opened 1,043 cases. Currently they have 127 active cases. During FY 2002, the unit recovered $26.1 million with another $16.8 million to be paid to the Georgia Medicaid Program.
During FY 2002, the bureau received 177 referrals to investigate allegations of patient abuse or neglect. In the FY 2003 budget the bureau received an additional 10 positions to concentrate on patient abuse and neglect.

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 innocent victims of violent crime. During FY 2002, the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program received $1.2 million from the Federal Victims of Crime Act Grant. The Program received 2,372 claims and provided financial assistance to more than 1,700 victims and their families. In addition, crime victims were awarded $4.6 million during FY 2002.
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.
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 $32.6 million was made available in FY 2002 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 Serious and Violent Offender Re-entry Initiative Victims of Crime Act Grant Program Stop Violence against Women Act Grant Program Georgia Statistical Analysis Center National Forensic Sciences Improvement Act.

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; develops and annually updates a State Strategic Plan; assists all state agencies in the development of their own strategic plan and ensures that it conforms to the state plan; and performs financial and personnel functions for the Office of the Governor and attached agencies.
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 enforcement of the Fair Business Practices Act and other related consumer protection statutes.
The Office of Georgia Human Relations provides assis tance 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, 33, 38, 40, 43, 45, and 46 of
the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

186

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 consumer protection, teacher preparation and certification and various grant distribution functions.
PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS
Lemon Law Unit The Motor Vehicle Warranty Rights Act, commonly
referred to as the "Lemon Law", provides consumers a method through which to attract the attention of new car manufacturers and secure the repair or replacement of those new vehicles that do not function properly.
After 12 years of operation, the success of the Lemon Law program is remarkable. The Lemon Law caseload continues to grow due to the increased volume of motor vehicles sold. Over 36,000 Georgians contacted the Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA) in FY 2002 for assistance. Since the inception of the program in July 1990, over 33,000 Lemon Law cases have been initiated by Georgians. Of the Lemon Law cases submitted to arbitration in FY 2002, over 580 consumers received either a replacement vehicle from the manufacturer or the repurchase of their defective vehicles by the manufacturer. These consumers alone received almost $12.2 million worth of benefit from this part of the Lemon Law process alone. Consumers, automobile dealers and auto manufacturers alike continue to praise Georgia's Lemon Law Program for its consistency and fairness.
Telemarketing Over $40 billion are lost each year to illegal
telemarketing enterprises and therefore, it is no surprise that consumer protection agencies, like OCA, routinely rank telemarketing complaints as either the first or second most prevalent type of consumer complaint received. While recognizing the fraudulent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available means, including specialized investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions.
The elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for financial abuses since they often live alone, usually have substantial savings or equity, have a fixed income, and are generally more trusting than other segments of our population.

TEACHER PREPARATION AND CERTIFICATION The Professional Standards Commission's (PSC) role
in National Board Certification, alternative certification, and the Georgia Teaching Force Center places it at the center of Georgia's teacher quality strategy. As such, PSC is a central agency in helping the state reach its goal of " A qualified teacher in every classroom by 2006."
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.
Georgia provides assistance to teachers at all stages of the NBC process. To eliminate financial barriers to applying for NBC ($2,300/candidate) the state contributes $1,000 per candidate for individuals that successfully complete the PSC administered screening process. In its December 2002 announcement, NBPTS indicated that Georgia had the sixth highest number of candidates (380) to successfully achieve NBC during the 2001-2002 application process, up from 7th place in the 2000-2001 cohort. The new cohort brings the statewide total to 806.
Teacher Workforce The Georgia Teaching Force Center (GTFC) plays a
central role in closing the information gap on teacher supply, demand, and attrition in Georgia. Currently, GTFC's is broadening its scope to developing effective strategies to address issues that emerge as a result of their research including marketing teaching as a profession and retaining current teachers. Their work in this area has earned GTFC a 5-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education to further develop a statewide teacher retention program.
Alternative Preparation The Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation
Program (TAPP) will enter its third year in FY 2004. A total of 1676 candidates have participated in the program since its inception. The quality and effectiveness of the program is underscored by its broad support from the educational community with 23 program providers that include Regional Education Service Agencies (RESAs), school systems and universities.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
General Administration and Support
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of General Administration and Support provides executive and policy direction, as well as technical and administrative support to all divisions and offices of Department of Human Resources (DHR). The primary purpose of the division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management, ensuring that the department complies with mandates and legal requirements.
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner and staff provide leadership for one
of the largest agencies in state government to ensure that the goals and objectives of the department are met.
ADOPTION SERVICES The Office of Adoption Services is responsible for
increasing placement in permanent adoptive homes for the children in DHR's custody. The office contracts with private adoption agencies for the recruitment of families and adoption support services.
AGING SERVICES The Office of Aging Services administers statewide
programs that provide community-based support services to the elderly, allowing the elderly to remain in their homes and communities as long as possible and prevent premature or unnecessary placement in long-term care facilities. Services are classified in 2 broad categories: the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). CCSP provides client assessment, case management and 6 major categories of service, including home-delivered services to individuals who meet specific income and health-related criteria. HCBS have no income-based eligibility criteria and are targeted to the most economically or socially needy individuals. Programs under HCBS include Caregiver Resources, Elderly Legal Assistance, Georgia Cares, Long Term Care Ombudsman program, Senior Community Service Employment Program, and a Wellness program.
CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY BASED INITIATIVE Family Connection's purpose is to help ensure that
Georgia's children are healthy, educated, and nurtured by strong and economically sufficient families through the development of partnerships in which state, county, and local organizations work together to improve results for children and families.
CHILD SUPPORT Child Support Enforcement (CSE) helps any custodial
parent or caretaker with collecting regular child support from a parent who should be contributing but is not. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In FY 2002, over $491 million was collected

from absent parents for the support of their children. Legal assistance is provided by local Assistant District Attorneys or Special Assistant Attorneys General. The program operates from 83 offices in 45 Judicial Circuits, and in FY 2002 the CSE Customer Service hotline processed over 7.7 million phone calls requesting assistance.
INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES The Office of Fraud and Abuse investigates suspected
fraud and abuse within DHR's public assistance programs and reported criminal employee misconduct. The Office seeks adjudication through the judicial or administrative process.
REGULATORY SERVICES The Office of Regulatory Services inspects, monitors,
licenses, certifies, and registers a variety of health, longterm and child care programs to ensure that facilities and programs are operated in compliance with appropriate state laws and regulations.
UNIFIED STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION DHR operates a unified transportation system across
the state, which provided 2.7 million trips to clients in FY 2002. The system supports department clients by providing transportation to employment, training, medical appointments, therapeutic treatment, community care, and childcare.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Developmental Disabilities Council administers a
federal grant program to initiate innovative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.
The Georgia Child Care Council's overall purpose is to make quality child care accessible and affordable for all Georgians.
The Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund was established in 1999 to collect a portion of DUI fines and fees and to distribute them to eligible Georgians with brain and spinal cord injuries for care and rehabilitative services.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Division of Public Health
Roles and Responsibilities

The responsibility of the Division of Public Health is to assure conditions that promote and protect the health and well-being of the people and communities of Georgia. In doing so, Public Health carries out three core functions: Assessing the health of the community by diagnosing
and investigating diseases, injuries, and health conditions and monitoring the health status and needs of individuals and the community Assuring the health of individuals and the safety of the community through provision of health services, either directly or by the private sector, and through enforcement of laws and regulations Providing leadership for policy development that established a community framework, which enables individuals to be healthy
RANGE OF HEALTH SERVICES
All Georgians benefit from the population-based services provided by the division. About 20% of Georgia's residents, or 1.7 million persons, directly receive health services at county health departments each year. Specific activities of the Division of Public Health include: Conducting laboratory testing, epidemiologic
investigations, and reporting infectious diseases and other health conditions Coordinating with other agencies and providers in response to man-made and naturally caused emergency events, including bioterrorism, to provide necessary health services and to restore the health and safety of affected communities Monitoring various aspects of environmental health through 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, fetal deaths, marriages, and divorces. Licensing and regulating ambulance services and certifying emergency medical personnel Preventing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions that affect physical health including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases Provide health education and information
"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 addresses the health status and health needs of the community
SERVICE DELIVERY STRATEGY
County health departments, governed by a county board of health, are located in each of Georgia's 159 counties. The boards are responsible for passing local regulations and planning and implementing health programs and activities in the counties. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Most services are available to all individuals, with a fee for service that may vary based on income. However, no individual can be denied these services based on the inability to pay. A few services, generally those that are part of federal programs, have income elig ibility guidelines for participation.
To help carry out the activities of local health departments, 19 district health offices have been established across Georgia. Each district is led by a physician who also serves as the director of the county health departments in the district. The district staff are responsible for program and administrative support of the county health departments in the delivery of health services, enforcement of laws and regulations, and local assessments, planning, and policy development.
The state office of the Division of Public Health provides overall direction and program and financial support for local health activities, working closely with the health district offices. The state office is also involved in state-level assessment, planning, and policy development efforts. The state office must, by law, be headed by a physician.
AUTHORITY
Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and Public Laws 78-410 (U.S. Public Health Service Act) as amended, up to and including Public Law 107-84.

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 159 county departments of family and children services in Georgia. 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.
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 81,000 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 2002 there were 62,401 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 CY 2001 APS provided protective services to over 12,400 clients throughout the state.
MULTI-AGENCY TEAM FOR CHILDREN This program purchases intensive and intermediate
residential treatment and therapeutic foster care for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment may include the services of psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, and other medical professionals.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases (MHDDAD) was created within the Department of Human Resources to establish, administer and supervise state programs for mental health, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases. The division is charged by law to: Provide adequate mental health, developmental
disabilities and addictive diseases 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, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases. 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 the allocation of funds. Regional boards act as planning boards for the regions. DHR regional offices contract for community mental health, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases services with county boards of health, community service boards, and private organizations based on estimated service needs in a defined population. There are twenty-six community service boards. Legislation passed in 2002 recreated community services boards and redefined them as public corporations and instrumentalities of the state.
The division and its regional offices are responsible for setting outcome measures, monitoring, and evaluating the achievements of service providers. The regional offices are responsible for encouraging availability of consumer choice among providers by expanding participation of public and private providers.
STATE HOSPITIALS There are 7 regional hospitals located in Atlanta,
Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah, and

Thomasville, which provide both psychiatric care and habilitation services for people with developmental disabilities. 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 facility, Gracewood State School and Hospital in Augusta, serves people with developmental disabilities exclusively. The 8 state hospitals and facilities also provide a variety of community services.
Community Services The public MHDDAD system delivers comprehensive
preventive, early detection, habilitation, and treatment services for adults with serious or chronic mental illness, children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, people with developmental disabilities, 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, developmental disabilities, or substance abuse, which, without statesupported services, are unable to function within their communities.
With the involvement of the clients and their families, program staff develop an individual service plan for each client. The people who do not meet the mostin-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.
Community services include outpatient services diagnosis, evaluation, medication monitoring, counseling and education; a range of day programs to help people learn daily living and work-related skills; residential services such as group homes; family education and support services; crisis intervention, assertive community treatment and case management.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Strategies And Services

GEORGIA'S EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE OLMSTEAD DECISION
The U.S Supreme Court's decision in Olmstead v. L.C. interpreted Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act as requiring states to provide services in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with disabilities. The Department of Human Resources (DHR) was charged with developing a strategy addressing this issue with the help of a grant from the Center for Health Care strategies. Part of this strategy was to form the Olmstead Planning Committee to study and make recommendations related to the Olmstead decision. Recommendations by the committee serve as guidance in the implementation of Olmstead, and DHR is one of lead state agencies (together with the Department of Co mmunity Health) responsible for planning and implementation.
An Executive Order was issued in June 2002 in response to a recommendation by the committee and charged the Council on Aging, the Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Long-Term Care Advisory Committee for the Department of Community Health, and the Governor's Advisory Council on Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse with ongoing review and reporting responsibilities on the state's compliance with Olmstead require ments. Additionally, the Executive Order instructed state agencies to work together in ensuring the state's Olmstead compliance and designated the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget to oversee Georgia's efforts to address Olmstead.
Previous Efforts Georgia has taken several steps in recent years to
move people from state institutions or nursing homes and to delay or prevent the need for institutional care including: Redirecting resources from hospital to community
services Georgia has moved over $25.5 million from the state hospital system into community mental health, developmental disabilities, and addictive diseases (MHDDAD) services State hospital closures Bainbridge State Hospital (BSH) closed in 2001, making it possible for over 100 people with mental retardation to move from BSH and other state institutions into comprehensive communitybased services. Overall, the state has closed 4 hospitals since 1996: Rivers' Crossing (37 bed facility for children with mental retardation); Brook Run (326 bed MR facility); Georgia Mental Health Institute (141 bed psychiatric hospital); and Bainbridge (100 bed MR facility) Community-based services Over 4 years, Georgia has increased the number of consumers served by

community-based MR waivers by 5,975 placements, which has helped to provide services to consumers in the least restrictive settings Waiting Lists 1,670 individuals with mental retardation have been moved from waiting lists into a variety of community-based services, including 800 consumers who were moved into comprehensive residential services. Funding to serve these individuals has increased by 65 %. Also, 180 adults with physical disabilities have moved from a waiting list to the Independent Care Waiver Program. In addition, the number of consumers served by the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) has increased by 15% and funding has increased by 28%. The CCSP has capacity to serve almost 17,000 consumers in FY 2003 Increased length of stay in community services Overall, the length of time individuals receive CCSP services has increased from 34 months to 39 months. Those who eventually move into nursing homes (38 percent of CCSP recipients) are able to stay at home and on average delay moving from their own home for five additional months Revamped community mental health services Georgia implemented the Medicaid Rehabilitation Option to have more flexible services that better meet the needs of consumers with mental illness, including the ability for mental health services to be provided in non-clinical settings Mental health services for children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbance Georgia continues to build a network of crisis and other community-based services across the state. Recent service expansions have focused on children with the most severe emotional disturbance. In FY 2002, the state allocated $2.8 million in state funds to support crisis residential services for children who needed out-of-home placement. Also, $2.3 million was received in additional block grant funds for mobile crisis and crisis residential services
FY 2003 and Recommended FY 2004 Actions Beginning in FY 2003, the state is investing $10
million in state funds to proceed with the following projects as recommended by the Olmstead Planning Committee. Continue reduction of the community-based waiting
list for CCSP (822 consumers, $1,718,137) and mental retardation waiver services (507 consumers, $2,092,951) Provide intensive family intervention services for severely emotionally disturbed youth and their families at-risk of institutionalization (600 families, $2,412,290)

214

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES - Strategies And Services

Move all consumers under age 21 from state mental retardation institutions into community residential services (65 consumers; $2,181,629)
Create four state-run community homes for 40 hardto-place, severely emotionally disturbed adolescents currently in state hospitals ($1,186,357)
Transfer all eligible children in private nursing homes to community placements ($263,181)
Begin the identification, assessment, and planning for the transition of adults with mental illness and/or developmental disabilities from institutional to community settings ($170,000)
Develop criteria to prioritize the need for those waiting for community-based services, regardless of existing placement (institution or community)
Improve the infrastructure and system capacity in order to meet the community-based needs of individuals with disabilities and older adults
Ensure that the state has an ability to monitor and provide oversight of all community-based providers
Utilize federal grant funds to address the barriers to community living for individuals with disabilities and older adults. Grant-funded projects will include housing and workforce development, enhancing peer support to help people transition from institutions to community services, and improving communications to consumers and their families and across agencies
For FY 2004, the Governor is recommending $6.3 million in DHR's budget and $3.3 million in the Department of Community Health (DCH) budget for service expansions to support persons moving from institutions to community-based settings. These amounts also include the annualized cost of $2.7 million for the Olmstead projects initiated in FY 2003, as noted previously. $3,195,341 to provide community-based residential
care to 145 private nursing home residents who are clinically able to live in a more integrated community setting and have expressed a desire to move; $2,631,968 to transition 50 adults with developmental disabilities to community services; $468,943 to transition 15 individuals with serious mental illness from state hospitals to assisted living placements in the community; $421,532 to provide Community Care Service Program services to 84 nursing home residents transitioning to the community; $148,644 for 2 additional staff to conduct certification, monitoring and quality assurance activities for new and existing community providers and facilities; and $75,000 to assess people in nursing homes to determine their ability to move to a more integrated setting.

Additionally, Governor Perdue recommends an appropriation of $3.86 million to DHR and $220,369 to DCH to expand waiver services to persons waiting for community-based services. These amounts also include the annualized cost of $1.7 million for mental retardation waiver slots created in FY 2003. $1,203,378 to adjust for the increased cost of the
provision of services in the Community Care Services Program; $949,031 to expand services to 50 consumers with developmental disabilities on the short term waiting list; and $220,369 for 10 slots in the Independent Care Waiver program.
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES Helping protect Georgia's youngest and most
vulnerable citizens continues to be an exceptional challenge. The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in DHR investigated over 63,488 allegations of child abuse and neglect in calendar year 2001. Of these allegations, 22,202 incidents were substantiated as cases of child abuse and neglect. In addition, the number of children in the state's custody continues to grow; over 14,162 children were in the custody of the department at the end of June 2001, an increase of 13.5% over the previous year.
Beginning in January 2002, the Governor's Action Group for Safe Children began developing a plan for safe placements for children in state custody. The Action Group focused its work on ensuring that within Georgia's placement system:
First placement is the right placement Statewide access to safe and appropriate
placements exists A seamless system of placement options exists
The Action Group's recommendations are intended to support its vision that Georgia's placement system will provide appropriate, adequate care of children; encourage the retention, dedication and professionalismof those who serve Georgia's children; and galvanize citizen action and support for the success of all children and families in Georgia.
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 one of the first states in the country to participate in this review and corrective actions have been suggested to all states reviewed. Among the problems identified in Georgia were the need for additional caseworkers and support services for children including mental health.

215

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES - Strategies And Services

In establishing his commitment to a child protective system that safeguards Georgia's most vulnerable citizens, the Governor is recommending funding that takes into consideration the priorities of the Action Group as well as the federal review including:
Recruitment and Retention of CPS Caseworkers $5.8 million is recommended for 90 new Child
Protective Services (CPS) caseworkers and 10 new supervisors to help reduce the average caseload per worker. This amount includes establishing a pool of 25 entry-level staff that will be trained and available to fill CPS caseworker vacancies without delay. In addition, $700,000 in new funds is recommended to enhance training for new and existing caseworkers
Foster Care/Adoption Support As a step to help ensure an adequate supply of foster
families for children who are in the state's care, $825,000 is being recommended to support resource development for recruiting foster and adoptive parents. In addition, $579,493 is being recommended to double the current annual clothing allowance of $100 per child to $200
Level of Care Placement System The Governor is recommending $9.9 million in new
state funds to convert to a Level of Care (LOC) placement/payment system to compensate providers more uniformly based on the needs of the child. DHR and the Department of Juvenile Justice have been working with the provider community to create an LOC system that purchases residential

therapeutic placement services for youth based on the youth's needs instead of placement availability.
Level of Care is a system of 6 levels of placement for children that range from family foster care to intensive residential care with 23-hour treatment, supervision and medical care. Placements are based on a detailed assessment of the youth's needs. Once the appropriate level of placement is determined, an individualized treatment plan is developed to identify treatment goals and needed services. Within each of the six levels there are a variety of options and settings to meet a youth's unique needs for treatment and support. Each youth is to be served in the least restrictive, community-based setting that meets their needs and ensures the safety of the youth, the family and the community. The youth is monitored during their placement and their needs are periodically redetermined to ensure progress while in treatment.
The LOC system will allow DHR to better identify needs, project expenditures and track results. DHR will know which providers produce the best results for children so that it can better target resources to produce positive outcomes for youth in need of therapeutic residential care.
Emergency Shelters $2.9 million and $4.9 million are being recommended
in the Amended FY 2003 and FY 2004 budgets, respectively, to support the closure of the children's emergency shelters operated by Fulton and DeKalb counties.

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 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 Europe and Asia, 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.
FILM, MUSIC AND VIDEOTAPE 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. The department is also working to identify service expansion opportunities in the recorded music industry.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Ports Authority is responsible for the
operation, administration and maintenance of Georgia's four ports - two ocean ports located in Savannah and Brunswick, and two inland river ports located in Columbus and Bainbridge. The authority promotes the port facilities to shipping lines worldwide through its sales offices in Atlanta, New York, Tokyo, Oslo, and Athens. The Ports Authority receives no state operating funds.
The Georgia World Congress Center Authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), the Georgia Dome, and Centennial Olympic Park. The GWCC is responsible for promoting and servicing regional, national, and international events, conventions, and trade shows which generate economic benefits to the state. The Dome is the home of the Atlanta Falcons football team. The state provides no operating funds to the authority.
AUTHORITY Title 50-7, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

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.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT In July 2005, the DaimlerChrysler Corporation will
open the first new automotive plant in Georgia for the past 56 years. This $750 million Pooler, Georgia assembly plant will produce the Sprinter and Vito utility vans for commercial transportation.
The new facility, the largest industrial plant to ever locate in the state, will create an estimated 3,300 new jobs and will be built in two phases. Phase I will encompass a $450 million investment and 1,800 jobs, while Phase II will represent a $300 million investment and 1,500 jobs. It is estimated that an additional 700 jobs will be created by the location of automotive suppliers near the new plant. Economic impact studies indicate that as many as 10,000 additional jobs would be created as a result of the plant's location.
The Governor is committed to the state of Georgia obtaining this facility in South Georgia as a promise to this region to obtain economic parity with North Georgia. The standard hourly wage of $19 per hour will be about 40 percent higher than the state average. This should provide a much needed fusion of cash and economic stability to the South Georgia economy.
Georgia's financial commitment of more than $220 million to the project will be recouped in new revenues to the state in less than 10 years. The total incentive package, including local commitments, is considered within the range of incentive packages offered to other automakers that have located throughout the Southeast.
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
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 is 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 2002, Yamacraw had received commitments of 3,100 jobs. Yamacraw faculty has produced 725 graduates. Fourteen major companies and 13 emerging companies are part of the initiative. Finally, venture capital is on the rise. The seed fund has participated in funding 5 start-up companies, with every state dollar matched by at least 3 private dollars.
The Ya macraw 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 information technology 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 Ports Authority (GPA) was created in 1945 by an act of the Georgia state legislature, the Georgia Ports Authority is an instrumentality of the State of Georgia and a public corporation existing for the express purpose of developing, maintaining and operating ocean and inland river ports within the state. While fostering international trade for state and local communities, the Georgia Ports Authority promotes Georgia's agricultural, industrial and natural resources.
The Port of Savannah is one of the leading container ports in the United States, offering service to more than 100 countries by more than 50 major steamship lines. During the first six months of calendar year 2002, the Port of Savannah ranked as the fastest growing containerport in the United States. According to the most recent Journal of Commerce PIERS data, Savannah is the 7th largest container port in the nation and the second fastest growing port during the January through May 2002 period.
Additionally, the GPA marked another milestone during FY 2002 when it handled over one million twenty-

224

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM - Strategies and Services

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.
The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) operates deepwater terminals in Savannah and Brunswick and inland river terminals in Bainbridge and Columbus, Georgia. The GPA handles three basic types of cargoes:
Containerized cargo various types of products that can be placed inside an intermodal container
Non-containerized general cargo and rolling stock products such as steel beams, rolls and bales of various commodities, autos, tractors, and other heavy equipment
Bulk Cargo products such as agri-commodities and various liquid commodities
The GPA has enjoyed its best performance ever in FY 2002, posting significant gains in several important cargo categories. In FY 2002, the GPA handled a statewide total of 13,296,336 tons of cargo. This represents a 5.2% increase in tonnage over the previous fiscal year. The FY 2002 record growth represents the 15th 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 79% 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 14.9% during FY 2002. In the near future, the GPA will construct an eighth container berth, which will boost Garden City Terminal docking capacity by 1,700 feet and will feature 83 acres for the handling and marshaling of containerized cargo.
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, Fred's, Hugo Boss 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. To further

enhance and expand container cargo handling capabilities at the Port of Savannah, a $6.1 million construction project is underway at Garden City Terminal.
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.
Georgia's public and private port sector activities directly or indirectly support 80,100 jobs, are responsible for $1.8 billion in personal incomes, produce billions of dollars in sales revenue to benefit the state's economy and generate $585 million in state and local tax receipts each year.
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 Georgia World Congress Center is in the final stages of the construction of the Phase IV expansion. This expansion will add 1.4 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 by 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.

232

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
The department provides services through two main divisions: Community Corrections and Facilities.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS The Community Corrections Division is responsible
for the detainment of youth held in the state's Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDC) and for the operation, management, and oversight of rehabilitative programs located in non-incarceration settings.
RYDCs are secure short-term facilities for youths awaiting trial in Juvenile or Superior Court, or placement within the DJJ system. DJJ provides a full array of assessment services for each youth detained in an RYDC. Educational, medical, and mental health services are also provided at the RYDC.
The department operates 22 RYDCs throughout the state with a capacity of 1,139 beds. Three new replacement facilities are slated to go on-line during the spring of 2003. These new facilities are located in Augusta, Macon, and Rome and will replace obsolete structures that were designed during a time when detained youth required less services. Once the new facilities are in operation, DJJ will have an RYDC capacity of 1,279 beds.
This division also administers court services. This 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.

The division also manages DJJ's rehabilitative efforts in community or non-incarceration settings. Rehabilitative services are tailored in an individual manner for each youth. The division provides a broad continuum of services to treat youth in its care. Services include residential therapeutic treatment, wilderness programs, group homes, multi-service centers, non-residential community schools, intensive supervision programs, and electronic monitoring.
FACILITIES The Facilities Division is responsible for the operation
of the state's Youth Development Campuses (YDC) and the Office of Classification.
YDCs are secure, long-term rehabilitation facilities for youths sentenced or committed to DJJ custody by Juvenile Courts. YDCs provide a variety of services for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and therapeutic treatment. There are two types of beds that exist in the YDC system. The first is a regular commitment bed for a youth 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 youth sentenced by a juvenile court to spend 90 days within a state YDC or alternative, hardware secure 90-day program.
Through the Office of Classification the department performs thorough assessments of those youth sentenced 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 to the youth while ensuring his or her safety.
DJJ currently operates 9 YDCs throughout the state with a total of 1,821 beds. Individual institutions range in size from 80 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. In addition, the Crisp YDC is scheduled to open in January 2004 as a privatized 90-day program serving 64 males. Future plans include the addition of an 80-bed facility in Muscogee County, which will increase state beds to 1,965 by FY 2005.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Strategies and Services

ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION
The Department is refining its detention philosophy and practices in order to:
Reduce inappropriate detention Minimize youth failure to appear for court hearings Reduce the number of youth who re-offend prior to the
next court hearing
In many jurisdictions, judges and probation staff have only two options when faced with a youth who has been arrested: 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, which causes an increased likelihood the youth will further penetrate the juvenile justice system.
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. DJJ uses and is developing 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 CONFINEMENT CONDITIONS
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 issue has been overcrowding at Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs), and as a result, beds have been added to RYDCs in De Kalb, Gwinnett, Marietta, and Gainesville. Another 140 beds will be added in FY 2003. Case Expeditors were also added in FY 2000 and FY 2001 to reduce the length of stay in the RYDCs. The average length of stay in RYDCs is now less than 18 days and crowding is down considerably.
Great strides have been made to improve facility security. Defective locks have been replaced as well as upgrades to fire protection systems for all RYDCs and Youth Development Campuses (YDCs) statewide. Security coverage has improved with the addition of third-shift Juvenile Correctional Officers (JCO's) at all facilities.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
DJJ's goal is to provide all youth in the department's custody a complete general, vocational, and special education where appropriate. The crux of being able to deliver appropriate educational services is to quickly and accurately determine the educational level of a student upon admission. DJJ has developed a plan to ensure that each youth is tested within 72 hours of admission.
Regular and vocational education is an important focus of the DJJ educational system, but special education classes are also a major need among juveniles. Testing has been refined to identify the special education needs of youth and teachers have been added to ensure a 12:1 ratio of students to teachers in facilities statewide. DJJ also ensures that all youth eligible for attaining a General Educational Development certificate have access to appropriate materials.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT
DJJ must ensure that all youth within the system receive appropriate mental health care and treatment services. The behavioral health issues of youth can range from drug and alcohol dependency to sexual and physical abuse histories.
A key link in the mental health system is a quick and accurate diagnosis of individual problems. The department has developed a mental health and suicide risk-screening instrument for use in all DJJ facilities. Intake screening is done on each youth admitted to an RYDC. Upon admittance to a YDC, each youth receives a complete mental health needs assessment reviewed by a psychologist. Once mental health treatment needs are 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, 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 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

242

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE - Strategies and Services

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
LEVEL OF CARE PLACEMENT SYSTEM
DJJ and the Department of Human Resources (DHR) have been working with the provider community to create a Level of Care (LOC) Placement System that purchases residential therapeutic placement services for youth based on the youth's needs instead of placement availability.
LOC is a system of 6 levels of placement for children that range from family foster care to intensive residential care with 23-hour treatment, supervision and medical care. Placements are based on a detailed assessment of the youth's needs. Once the appropriate level of placement is determined, an individualized treatment plan is developed to identify treatment goals and needed services.
Within each of the six levels there are a variety of options and settings to meet a youth's unique needs for treatment and support. Each youth is to be served in the least restrictive, community-based setting that meets their needs and ensures the safety of the youth, the family and the community. The youth is monitored during their placement and their needs are periodically re-determined to ensure progress while in treatment.
The LOC system will allow DJJ to better identify needs, project expenditures and track results. DJJ will know which providers produce the best results for children so that it can better target resources to produce positive outcomes for youth in need of therapeutic residential care.
MEDICAL CARE
DJJ ensures that adequate medical care is provided to all youth in its custody. An extensive part of the department's medical plan includes a system for proper admission. To complement that initial step, DJJ also provides youth with access to physicians for medical care.
The department's health appraisal for youth entering the system is to evaluate the health status of the juvenile to determine medical treatment needs and appropriate medical classification and restrictions.

Medical care consists not only of screening, but also 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 Twenty-four-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 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 the current assessment process to identify
gaps in information Duplication in data gathering Integrate summary information from medical, mental
health and education assessments
TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION SYSTEM
DJJ's goal is to implement a comprehensive webaccessible Juvenile Tracking Information System. This system is currently operational with the following components completed: case demographics, legal information, case notes, placement, case manager information, Medicaid eligibility data, Title IV-E foster care eligibility data, and intake and release tracking. Modules that are in development include education, mental health, medical and classification and assessment.
DJJ has also implemented an automated interface with Fulton County Juvenile Court and plans to implement similar interfaces with Clayton and Gwinnett Juvenile Courts in this FY 2004.

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 State Workforce Investment Board was established and the Department of Labor was named as the lead agency for implementation of the new act. The department, in conjunction with other state agencies, has implemented 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 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, which provides employment for severely visually impaired and disabled individuals; Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, which is a statewide comp rehensive rehabilitation facility that serves people with severe disabilities; 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 amu sement 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. The Department is committed to disseminating its labor statistics more efficiently through increased use of the Internet.
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.

253

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 seven key principles, which are to streamline services, empower individuals, provide universal access, increase accountability, include a strong role for local workforce investment boards, provide state and local flexibility, and improve youth programs.
CUSTOMER-FOCUSED SERVICES In upholding the basic tenants of the Workforce
Investment Act, the Georgia Department of Labor has incorporated a customer-oriented approach. This approach is the cornerstone of the department's 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 individuals 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 have expanded 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, 44
locations have been established in each of the workforce investment areas in the state. The system is 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 interconnects all of the employment-related services the state offers into a user-

friendly system that helps every Georgian have a successful career and Georgia businesses have skilled employees. 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 during FY 2000. 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.
A major component of the Workforce Investment Act is its requirement of performance indicators. There are 17 mandated measures, and workforce agencies are developing 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 evaluate services to ensure quality outcomes by onestop operators, training providers and other staff working with customers.
Local Elected Boards Local elected officials appoint local Workforce
Investment Boards to develop strategic plans for their perspective locales. Employers provide a business perspective to help shape services in their communities. Labor representatives, community-based organizations and others assist local systems in the development of service strategies that meet customer needs without unnecessary duplication.
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. One of the School-to-Work strategies is the Jobs for Graduates program, which has received national recognition for its successes in encouraging young people further their education, enter the workforce or join the military. Community organizations and employers will be the primary contributors to the emerging comprehensive local youth systems.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR - Strategies And Services

GOODWORKS!
GoodWORKS! 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 entrylevel occupations and they work along with job coaches, who assess their skills in a supportive work environment, they receive promotions and move toward economic selfsufficiency.
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 disabilities. 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 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 throough 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 become employed. This effort allows employers in Georgia to have a larger supply of experienced staff from diverse backgrounds. Thes e services consist of work readiness preparation, job analysis, accessibility surveys, job coaching, and supported employment.
TICKET TO WORK
One of the Department's priorities this year is to implement the new Ticket to Work initiative, which is modeled after a federal work incentive strategy. This program is designed to help Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries attain work. The Department will utilize the One-Stop Centers, Workforce Investment staff and Vocational Rehabilitation services to implement this new strategy.

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.

261

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 2002, the department opened files associated with over 8,900 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 400 SAAGs and expends just over $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 three specialized sections within the Regulated
Industries and Professions Division, the Consumer Interests Section primarily provides general representation to the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs and works with state-level consumer protection agencies across the country in the pursuit of multi-state actions. Such cases are necessary to protect Georgia's consumers and, where appropriate, recover property that has wrongly been taken from them. The Environmental and Natural Resources Section principally represents the Department of Natural Resources, which includes the Environmental Protection Division. Through this representation, the section plays a pivotal role in protecting the state's treasured natural resources. The State Licensing Boards Section provides representation to the various regulatory boards operating under the auspices of the Secretary of State. These include the State Board of Nursing Home Administrators, the Georgia Board of Nursing, and the State Construction Industry Licensing Board.
Commercial Transactions and Litigation Division Also comprised of three sections, the Commercial
Transactions and Litigation Division provides legal

representation related to the state's commercial transactions and financial interests. The Tax Section represents the Department of Revenue in all matters, including litigation that focuses on complicated state and federal tax issues. The Business and Finance Section handles litigation and provides advice related to the financial affairs of the state, including the appropriations process, bond sales, contracts, and bankruptcy issues. The Real Property, Construction, Transportation, and Authorities Section represents the Department of Transportation, the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, 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 two clients, the Department of Human Resources and the Department of Community Health. The third section of the division the Education, Elections, Local Government, and Judiciary Section represents a variety of entities including the Board of Regents, the Department of Education, and the Elections Division of the Secretary of State's Office. This section also coordinates all open government inquiries and provides an informal open government dispute resolution process.

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Merit System of Personnel Administration is the state's central agency for assisting state agencies in recruiting qualified individuals for positions within the executive branch of state government. The agency is also the state's central recordkeeping agency for state employee data and the central means of monitoring state personnel practices.
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.

267

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Strategies and Services

The Merit System of Personnel Administration provides monitoring and coordination of personnel administration, and benefit plans for state government through an assortment of programs 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.
As in FY 2002, the Merit System worked closely with the interagency committee of select department heads and their designees to roll out an integrated process for strategic planning. Agency staffs were trained on the second phase of workforce planning. This year, plans were submitted by 58 agencies.
In this second year of implementation, several common trends and issues were again noted that, without remedial attention, pose potential threats to state program outcomes. Agencies reported issues with staffing levels, diversity, and competencies affecting over 24,000 incumbents in 265 mission critical jobs.
During the third phase of workforce planning agencies will focus on implementing strategies to improve the skills and diversity of the workforce and to increase their ability to hire people. The Georgia Merit System is providing automated tools, training, consultative support, and other resources to assist agencies in implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the strategies in enabling the agencies to achieve their missions, goals, and objectives.
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.
In FY 2004, the Georgia Merit System will continue its ongoing review of the cost effectiveness and desirability of our benefit designs in collaboration with other State entities to insure the benefits component of the State's Total Reward initiative is competitive in the marketplace.
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 agency is seizing the opportunity to streamline
business processes and make information more readily accessible to the public and other state agencies through the Internet and move towards E-Government. The ELearning project, which began in FY 2002, 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.
During FY 2004, the Merit System plans to jointly support a statewide initiative with other agencies, as well as expand its internal e-learning program to address the need for training and development programs.
The Merit System continues to offer an on-line application and recruitment system for applicants seeking jobs with the state. 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 Transportation's 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 52 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 2002 the department issued 2,413,262 driver licenses of which 169,917 were out-of-state transfers. Additionally 197,503 identification cards and 99,703 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. The officers also provide 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. Additionally, the Enforcement Division is 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. 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.

renewal system will account for approximately 500,000 renewals, comprising of 30 percent of all renewed licenses.
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. As of FY 2002, the system was fully implemented.

DMVS headquarters is located in Conyers, Georgia. The new headquarters houses nearly 400 of the department's 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 52 full testing customer service centers, 21 Kroger renewal centers, 11 travel teams, 10 reinstatement centers, and 4 renewal only centers. In FY 2002, the 98 facilities were responsible for issuing 2,413,262 licenses.
The Governor supports DMVS in their goal to reduce lines and provide quality customer service. The department implemented a two-prong attack on correcting the problem. In FY 2003 4 new full-service drivers license facilities became operational, including 68 positions. These facilities are located in Gwinnett, Fulton, Cobb, and Dekalb. In addition to 4 new facilities, a state of the art customer tracking / management system was initiated. The system will enable the department to measure and track the process from the time the citizen enters the building until he or she has completed their business transaction. This will promote and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of future management decisions. The system will enable the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety to compare office efficiencies across the state, enabling the ability to implement changes that truly impact the citizens of the state.
The second approach provides a foundation for the future. Realizing that additional facilities and people will only provide temporary relief, $3.5 million was allotted 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. As of September 2002, the automated renewal system accounted for 143,017 licenses. Based on these figures it is estimated that the automated

Upon full implementation, DMVS has 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 continues to focus on full implementation of an interface, which will enable Georgia citizens to renew their vehicle registrations over the Internet.
The creation of the Georgia Electronic Insurance Compliancy System (GEICS) was developed to collect and track liability information received from insurance companies. The passage of HB 994 and HB 1314 of the 2002 session requires insurers authorized to write liability insurance to submit its insured's information in electronic form to the department. The system will enable law enforcement officials to have an on-line tool to determine if a vehicle has valid insurance. The database will become the official location to verify vehicle insurance across the state for more than five million registered vehicles, and will be cross checked using the vehicle identification number stored in the GRATIS system.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Natural Resources provides natural resources development, management, and protection services to Georgia's citizens and local governments. These services include the operation of state parks and historic sites, the management and protection of wildlife and coastal resources, the enforcement of wildlife, boating safety, and environmental laws, promotion and assistance with pollution prevention, and protection and management of the state's water, air, and land resources in accordance with various state and federal laws. The Commissioner's Office and Program Support provide administrative support for the following divisions:
PARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC SITES The division provides recreational opportunities to the
citizens of Georgia through the development and operation of 48 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted over 14.6 million visitors during FY 2002. The division manages over 78,000 acres with such amenities as campgrounds, cottages, lodges, swimming pools, group camps, and golf courses.
WILDLIFE RESOURCES Lands and freshwater habitats are managed by Wildlife
Resources for public hunting, fishing, and educational purposes. This division also promotes the conservation and wise use of game and nongame wildlife resources. All state laws and departmental regulations regarding wildlife, fishery resources, wild animals, boating safety, and hunter safety are enforced by the law enforcement section. The division manages Public Fishing Areas and Wildlife Management Areas, and produces fish in state hatcheries that are used to stock public waters and farm ponds.
COASTAL RESOURCES The primary objectives of this division are to ensure
the optimum commercial and recreational utilization of Georgia's marine fisheries resources over the long term for the benefit of all Georgians and to protect, conserve, and restore populations of marine turtles and mammals. These objectives are accomplished through research, artificial reef development, and activities geared toward the protection of threatened and endangered marine species.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The division is largely a regulatory body whose main
objective is to enforce state and federal water quality, water supply, air quality, solid waste, and hazardous waste laws, rules, and regulations. These objectives are accomplished through a permitting process coupled with monitoring, inspection, investigation, and enforcement activities. The division also manages the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund and the Solid Waste Trust Fund.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION The division provides historic preservation services
and assistance to governmental agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Duties include proposing properties for nomination to both the National and the Georgia Register of Historic Places, providing grants to support state and local preservation projects, and offering technical assistance and information on tax incentives, archaeological matters, and other preservation programs.
POLLUTION PREVENTION The division is a non-regulatory organization designed
to serve as a one-stop source for Georgia businesses interested in finding ways to reduce their hazardous waste, solid waste, water, and air pollution problems through preventive measures.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia State Games Commission promotes
amateur athletic competition through the Georgia State Games. The Civil War Commission encourages preservation of Civil War sites and promotes tourism to these sites. The Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority is responsible for managing through contract the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the islands. The Jekyll Island State Park Authority is responsible for the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the island. The Stone Mountain Memorial Association is responsible for managing through contract the operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities at the mountain. The Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority promotes, develops, and serves agriculture and agricultural business interests of the state, produces and operates the Georgia National Fair, and encourages the agricultural accomplishments of Georgia's youth. The Georgia Agrirama Development Authority serves as the state's official living history museum, depicting life in Georgia in the late 19th century. The Southwest Georgia Rail Excursion Authority is an economic development initiative that will seek to bring tourists through historic middle Georgia. The Oconee River Greenway Authority is responsible for preserving greenspace along the Oconee River.

291

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Strategies and Services

The state's citizens and tourists enjoy Georgia's scenic beauty and many outstanding natural and historic resources. 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.
WATER QUALITY AND PROTECTION STRATEGIES
Water management issues continue to be a top concern for the state of Georgia and the Perdue Administration. Issues include: saltwater intrusion into underground water resources along the coast; ongoing negotiations with Florida and Alabama over the management of shared water resources; and inclusion of agricultural water use in statewide water use planning.
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 well being of coastal Georgia depends on maintaining the capability to use the aquifer to support future development in this region of the state.
The FY 2004 budget provides 6th year funding of $1,028,000 for the 8-year Coastal Groundwater (Sound Science) Study. 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. The Governor includes $345,400 in the FY 2004 budget for the final year of a 4-year Southwest Georgia Ground and Surface Water Interchange Study. The purpose of the study is to provide EPD with additional field and pumping data necessary to develop more accurate groundwater flow models and to more effectively manage agricultural irrigation permits.

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 2004 budget, Governor Perdue provides $600,000 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. EPD has a rigorous air improvement plan for metropolitan Atlanta to attain the ozone standard by the year 2004. The Governor supports alternatives such as telecommuting as a means of reducing traffic and improving air quality.
LAND ACQUISITION AND CONSERVATION STRATEGY
DNR acquires land for various conservation, historic preservation and public recreational purposes. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that, between 1990 and 2000 Georgia's population grew more than 20% by adding 1.3 million residents, making it the fourth fastest growing state. 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. In the FY 2003 Amended Budget, the Governor recommends $2,000,000 in G.O. Bonds to purchase inholdings and edgeholdings at existing state parks and historic sites threatened by development.
STATE PARKS AND HISTORIC SITES With a growing state population, DNR must meet
increasing demands for public access to quality historic, cultural, recreation, hunting, fishing and boating facilities throughout the state. In the FY 2003 Amended Budget, the Governor recommends G.O Bonds for the following capital projects: $2,000,000 for second-year funding of the Hardman Farm restoration in White County; $500,000 for repairs and renovations to the North Georgia lodges; and $200,000 for construction of a bridge on Sapelo Island.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
Roles and Responsibilities

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is comprised of five 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%. 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 four 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%.
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 provide access to local assessment and treatment services where available. In areas where services are limited the Board of

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES - Strategies and Services

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 2003, the board fully implemented an offender funded electronic monitoring program. The program requires offenders, at their own expense to contract with the monitoring company. The electronic monitoring program will be used in conjunction with the Specialized Parole Supervision program (SPS) to provide a balanced, intensive approach to dealing with high risk/high need parolees.
The system will be reviewed for success factors and to determine if the offender funded electronic monitoring system truly meets its goals and objectives.
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 2002, the department's troopers investigated 33,657 accidents, and made 9,250 DUI arrests. These efforts have contributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia.
In FY 2003, the Governor instituted steps for Georgia's "Response to Terrorism" and added 6 positions at the Department of Public Safety. These positions, working with the Homeland Security Task Force, began the process of working with the local governments, and other State agencies to assess the critical infrastructure needs of the State.
HIGHWAY SAFETY The department's highway safety program consists of
the following functions, which are performed by the Georgia State Patrol:
Speed Limit Enforcement--The department wrote more than 173,743 citations for speeding in FY 2002 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 2002, the department made 9,250 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 62 arrests in FY 2002.
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. The department has implemented operation "Click it or Ticket," which is focusing on seatbelt and child restraint usage. During FY 2002, 28,592 seat belt citations and 2,851 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 the efforts of drug interdiction.
TRAINING The State of Georgia currently has 50,541 peace
officers in 953 state, county and local law enforcement agencies. To be certified, law enforcement personnel are required to complete a minimum prescribed 400-hour basic mandate course. Peace officers are also required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of in-service training annually to maintain certification. The following agencies attached to DPS for administrative purposes are critical in providing training to state and local law enforcement personnel: Police Academy, Fire Academy, Firefighter Standards and Training Council, Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the Public Safety Training Center.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for regulating public utility 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 five-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.

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.

Notes:

1. $30 million in state general funds was appropriated for the Statewide Student Information System in FY 2001. Of the $30 million in state funds appropriated, $28,638,041 was carried forward to FY 2002 and encumbered. All funds encumbered in FY 2002 have not yet been expended.

2. The position count for Regents B Unit in FY 2001 included employees at Talmadge Hospital at the Medical College of Georgia. The hospital was privatized and the lower position count in FY 2002 reflects this transaction. The number of positions is based on general and departmental funds.

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 highly educated Georgia with the skills and knowledge for the 21st century. The System accomplishes this goal through a triple mission of instruction, research and public service. In fall 2002, the System enrolled over 232,000 students its highest enrollment ever. During FY 2002, it granted 35,999 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 Access to higher education is critical to the economic
development of the state. Currently 90% of Georgia citizens are within commuting distance of one of the 34 Regents institutions. Thirteen two-year 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 (DTAE).
RESEARCH Research is concentrated in four research universities,
University of Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, and the Medical College of Georgia. Funding for research is derived from the funding formula, federal or private sponsored research, special state programs like the Georgia Research Alliance, 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 that offer significant potential for economic and industrial growth. The Traditional Industries Program provides applied research grants in the areas of food processing, pulp and paper production, and carpet and textiles. University researchers team up with industry to solve problems critical to the growth and sustainability of Georgia's traditional existing industries.

Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is comprised of six 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. 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.
Public service provide through the public library system is a new addition to the Board of Regents. The purpose of the public library system in Georgia is to provide assistance, information, and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. The Office of Public Library Services was transferred by legislative act effective July 1, 2000 from DTAE to Regents. There are 58 public library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition the state's library for the blind and physically handicapped.

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Strategies and Services

The mission of the University System of Georgia (USG) is to create a more highly educated Georgia through teaching, research, and service. The Governor supports the strategic goals of the Board of Regents and in these challenging financial times, the Governor's recommendation reflects a desire to fund those activities critical to the mission of the University System.
RESIDENT INSTRUCTION To meet its core mission of instruction, the Governor
recommends full funding of the formula related to credit hours generated during the last school year. The recommendation for FY 2004 is an increase of $81 million based on a record 6.6% increase in credit hour enrollment during the 2001-2002 school year. With more than 232,000 students enrolled in Fall 2002, compared to 217,546 last fall semester, another record increase in the number of credit hours is expected for the school year 2002 2003.
State funding for instruction at the 34 institutions represents the largest commitment of money and personnel in the Regent's budget. The "A" Unit also includes funds for research consortium and special funding initiatives such as Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP) and P-16. For FY 2004, the Governor recommends $1,471,669,290 in state general funds for Unit "A".
Though enrollment is up, the number of Georgians participating in postsecondary education remains low. The Governor and the Board of Regents are committed to finding ways to increase the participation of Georgia citizens in postsecondary education. In "Measuring Up 2002," a report by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, Georgia is showing some progress in participation of students of working age who enroll in college within four years of graduating from high school. Among working age students, defined as 25-49 year olds enrolled part-time in postsecondary education, Georgia enrolled 2.1% of the population up from 1.7% two years previous. However, Georgia still lags behind the national rate of 5.4%. Georgia only enrolls 31% of students within four years of high school graduation compared to 54% in the top five states.
College enrollments are projected to increase based on demographics and the state's efforts to increase the participation of groups who have traditionally not sought postsecondary education. The state is meeting the challenge of growing enrollments by finding new and creative methods of instruction, seeking the most efficient, effective, and technologically sound business and service practices, and increasing external funding.

The University System has aggressively pursued the integration of technology across the higher education enterprise over the last decade. Special funding initiatives especially those provided by lottery funds have introduced creative instruction methods and enhanced opportunities for increase use of distance education. Instruction is delivered both in and out of the classroom with the support of various technologies, professional development experiences, and student services. In FY 2002, the University System offered more than 2,700 courses and more than 60 degree programs to approximately 40,000 students learning at a distance. This represents a 200% increase over a five-year period.
Funds from the special initiatives have significantly improved the availability of services offered to all students. Today students can learn about and apply to any of the Regents institutions through GA EASY, the System's online application systems. Once admitted, students can register for courses, pay for courses, and request transcripts online. The Governor recommends $4,070,000 in the Amended FY 2003 budget for maintenance and upgrades to the systems connecting teachers, students, and services. These upgrades will enhance how the University System uses technology and distance education in serving the professional development needs of Georgia citizens.
All of the technologies discussed, whether used in support of traditional classroom or distance education, are dependent on the networking capabilities supplied by PeachNet, the USG managed network which connects all institutions to each other and to the Internet. This network requires continued maintenance and upgrades to keep pace with current technology innovations, capacity issues associated with increasing enrollments, and implementation of improved tools that address security, prioritization of network traffic and other networking issues. The Governor recommends $1,500,000 in the Amended FY 2003 budget lottery funds for upgrades to the PeachNet and other internet network connectivity infrastructure.
Lottery funds also support GALILEO. GALILEO provides all citizens of Georgia with one of the most comprehensive online libraries in the world. For example, USG students and faculty can quickly search more than 120 databases, and read full text articles from more than 9,000 journals, 26,000 e-books, and other publications. In addition to the USG, the Georgia Public Library Service, DTAE, private colleges, and the state's K-12 schools make extensive use of these resources. To date, more than 370 institutions, schools, offices and libraries in Georgia subscribe to the system. GALILEO Interconnected Libraries (GIL), a single library

341

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA - Strategies and Services

automation system in University System libraries, allows users to search and request materials from the collections of all 34 institutions. The Governor recommends $1,939,000 in the Amended FY 2003 budget to update GALILEO database licenses facilitate the ability of any USG student to check books out from any public institution or library in the state, using only one borrowing card.
The Governor supports the Regent's efforts in seeking out the most efficient, effective, and technologically sound business and service practices. In response to a benchmark study and the current economic climate, Regents is looking for ways to streamline business operations within the system and among the colleges and universities.
RESEARCH The University System is meeting its goal to attract
more external funding. In FY 2002 the System set a new record of almost $795 million in grants and contracts. This represents a 15.8% increase over similar funding last year. Georgia's research institutions have made dramatic gains in quality and reputation. Thirty years ago none of the state's schools were national players in research and development. Today, Georgia ranks 10th nationally in research and development income to universities according to the National Science Foundation.
The Georgia Research Alliance has been a major contributor to the success of the university system has experienced in research funding. The Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) is a public-private partnership. GRA invests in visionary researchers and scholars and provides them with the tools needed to create and grow extraordinary university based research and development programs in areas with the greatest economic payoff for Georgians. GRA encourages Georgia's public and private research universities to collaborate and take advantage of the research strengths at each university in order to make effective use of resources in new interdisciplinary areas.
In the FY 2004 budget, the Governor is recommending $750,000 for one additional GRA eminent scholar and $18,400,000 in bonds for equipment related to GRA and Traditional Industry Program research priorities. To date, each state dollar invested is matched by almost $3 in private and federal funding.
The Governor recommends that the FY 2004 budget complete the Yamacraw program phase-in to the existing GRA research clusters. The transition plan was developed in FY 2003 to sustain and broaden commitments and investments in research, faculty, venture investments, and a facility by phasing them into the appropriate organization, university, or state agency. As part of the transition, funding is being reduced and programs are
342

being consolidated for greater efficiency. The Yamacraw initiative in broadband communications has recruited 55 faculty located at 7 institutions around the state. Increased faculty has helped to double the number of graduates in computer science and electrical engineering in the past four years. With a goal of 2000 jobs and 10 industry partners, the initiative generated 1,600 jobs with commitments of an additional 1,200 and signed on 27 companies as partners.
The legacy of the Yamacraw program is the faculty, the new facility, and the on-going commitment to the initiative's partners to have access to broadband communications research. The Governor recommends that funding for these activities continue through GRA and the University System.
The Governor recommends $8,600,000 for the Paul D. Coverdell Building for Biomedical and Health Sciences at the University of Georgia (UGA) and $8,600,000 for the Cancer Research Center at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG). These two capital outlay projects reflect the Regents' strategic goals of gaining external funding, doing critical research, and building superior facilities, funded by innovative mechanisms. The state's investment is being matched by $66.6 million in private and federal funds for the construction of these two facilities.
FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT The University System must have adequate facilities
to accomplish its missions. The system is responsible for 2,957 state buildings and facilities, or 29% of the state's inventory. Many of these facilities were built more than 30 years ago and require increased attention. The FY 2003 Amended and 2004 budgets put a priority on maintaining the facilities in the system. The Governor recommends $25,000,000 in bonds in the Amended FY 2003 budget to fully fund major repairs and rehabilitation (MRR). In the FY 2004 budget, $32,000,000 in bonds is recommended to fund MRR. Traditionally, MRR has been funded from the General Fund and calculated through the formula. The Governor is recommending that MRR be funded with bonds. In addition, $28,635,000 is recommended for design, construction and equipment for major capital facilities. Finally, $4,000,000 is recommended to complete the renovation of the old governor's mansion in Milledgeville.
PUBLIC SERVICE The third way the University System endeavors to
create a more educated Georgia is through public service. One of the initiatives developed to encourage the participation of the emerging first generation of college bound students is the Postsecondary Readiness Enrichment Program (PREP). PREP has enlightened approximately 45,000 middle school students in at-risk

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA - Strategies and Services

situations to educational opportunities after high school. Students participate in supplementary academic enrichment programs; i.e. tutoring/mentoring, summer camps, academic readiness, career exploration, leadership development, conflict resolution, community service and technology skills development. The services of PREP are implemented through strong partnerships among University System institutions, 20 technical colleges, over 400 middle and high schools, and 200 businesses and community organizations located in 111 counties.
Last year the state provided an enhancement of $1,530,000 for the ICAPP Health Professionals initiative. Health care providers provided $2.45 million to match the state's total investment of $2.1 million. The initiative is designed to fast track the education of nurses in order to curb the nursing shortage. The initiative aims to increase the number of licensed health care professionals by more than 500 over the next two years. Participating healthcare employers have committed to providing jobs for new fast track graduates in 19 Georgia communities. The ICAPP Health Professionals initiative will have enormous economic and social benefit to the citizens of Georgia.
GEORGIA PUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES AND PUBLIC LIBRARIES
The purpose of the public library system is to provide assistance, information, and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. Georgia Public Library Services strives to actualize that purpose in the most effective way possible. To this end, several of its current initiatives focus on expanding public libraries' capacity: the Public Information Network Services (PINES) and a new computer system for the Georgia Library for Accessible Services (GLASS).

The shared automation system, PINES, has broadened its reach operating in 236 library facilities across 42 of the 58 public library systems. PINES is providing user-friendly access to public library patrons by creating a common interface from library to library, common borrowing policies and, most importantly, providing access to millions of additional resources beyond the collections of the local library. GLASS, which provides services to the state's visually and physically disabled population, will implement a new statewide library computer system in FY 2004 to enhance services and operations to the 14 sub-regional libraries.
GEORGIA PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATION COMMISSION
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. With the new digital broadcast requirements set to go into effect in May 2003, the Governor is recommending $32,120,000 in bonds for the digital conversion of GPTC towers and transmitters. Distance learning programming has expanded educational opportunities for Georgia students. The Governor recommends in the Amended FY 2003 Budget $2,000,000 for education programming.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Roles and Responsibilities

Since 1938, the Department of Revenue 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 the Department of Revenue'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, the department 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 Department of Revenue net state revenue collections
for FY 2002 totaled just over $13.0 billion. 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 Taxes, 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 The department 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.

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 1.47 million Georgia taxpayers filed returns electronically during the 2001 tax season an 18% increase over the 1.25 million electronic filers in 2000.
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 404-656-TIPS and establish a centralized call center that is staffed with knowledgeable employees that can handle general taxpayer inquiries.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE -- Strategies and Services

FEDERAL TREASURY OFFSET PROGRAM The Federal Treasury Offset Program (TOPS) is a
collaborative effort between the Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to collect outstanding individual income tax debts owed to the State of Georgia. A similar program to intercept state refunds to satisfy debts owed to the IRS has been in effect for some time.
The project involves the development and implementation of a system to: Provide the Treasury Department pertinent
information relating to delinquent Georgia tax accounts Notify taxpayers of delinquencies in their state taxes and potential offsets against federal refunds and Process offset posting and related information for reporting to taxpayers and the affected taxing divisions Experience in other states suggests the TOPS project will reduce delinquent tax liabilities and increase state tax collections by approximately $3.3 million per year.
NETWORK SECURITY As the Department of Revenue seeks to improve
customer service through new Intranet and Internet exposure, data security risks increase dramatically. The Network Security Infrastructure initiative seeks to create a network secure from both external and internal threats. Investment in network security represents a sound business practice and is required under the Federal Common Criteria for any agency with access to federal income tax information. Access to federal income tax information is vital to tax collections. The Federal Common Criteria requirements are being incorporated into Department of Revenue applications and infrastructure.

The enhancements in security of the department's information network will provide for: Secure, reliable, and scalable access from remote
locations Centralized administration of the network and
connecting databases and Improved management of development on the
Intranet and ongoing support of infrastructure
PRIVATE COLLECTION INITIATIVE The Private Collection Agency (PCA) initiative
establishes a process to allow private collection agencies, under contract with the Department of Revenue, to access delinquent account information for the purpose of collecting outstanding debts.
Placement of taxpayer accounts with private collection agencies first occurred in 1997 as an alternative method for the department to collect delinquent taxes. The initiative has resulted in the collection of an additional $40 million since 1997. Due to the success of the initiative, the Department of Revenue continues to use private collection agencies.
Current policy provides the department can contract with private collection agencies to collect debts resulting from delinquent taxes when internal means of collection have been exhausted. The use of private agencies, while successful, can be more efficient. Currently, extensive manual effort is required to extract and verify required data. A rewritten automated program will allow the department to identify taxpayers with a qualifying debt, notify taxpayers of debts owed, and forward information with contracted private collection agencies. An improved reconciliation process will enable the department to verify payment of delinquent debts.

successful deployment and utilization of uniform electronic voting equipment during the 2002 general election. This effort established Georgia and the Secretary of State (SOS) as a national leader in adoption and use of technology to improvise service delivery and interaction with citizens everywhere. It included creation of the first center for training election officials in the state, and a system for ongoing voter education and registration. The State's voter registration database was updated to reflect changes made with the 2002 legislative reapportionment. Further, all active registered voters were notified of their new voting districts. More than 3.8 million notification cards were printed and mailed prior to the primary elections. For 2002, more than 6,000 election officials were trained, over 19,000 voting machines were deployed, and more than 3.8 million voters received instructional materials on voting.
PROFESSIONAL LICENSING BOARDS The State Professional Licensing Boards Division
provides administrative and investigative support to 35 licensing boards through a centralized location and staff. The boards regulate more than 700,000 licensees throughout the state. They play an integral role in consumer protection by regulating professionals and investigating violations of state law.
Renovations were initiated at the Macon facility to develop a new central testing center. This testing center will be used to conduct examinations for licenses and will be extremely convenient to all Georgians.
ARCHIVES AND HISTORY The Office of Secretary of State, in cooperation and
leasehold with the Development Authority of Clayton County, is poised to relocate to the new state-of-the-art building located in the Gateway Village development adjacent to Clayton College and University. The new facility will be co-located with the National Archives and Records Administration, and has been constructed in partnership with the University Financing Foundation and Gateway Development Services, Incorporated.
REAL ESTATE COMMISSION The Georgia Real Estate Commission is the primary
agency for licensing and regulating the real estate brokerage profession and administering support for the Georgia Real Estate Appraisers Board.
In order to serve its licensees more efficiently, regulated entities can renew licenses over the Internet. To encourage licensees to use the on-line program, the cost

savings associated with the renewal system is passed on to those users by discounting the renewal fee paid on-line. Another service feature that began in 2000 is the commission's new telephone system that allows access 24 hours a day to (1) licensee data status via a voice integrated response system and (2) a fax on demand system that allows persons to obtain applications without agency intervention. Beginning January 1, 2003, approved schools will electronically upload all continuing education courses completed by real estate licensees and appraisers directly into each licensee's database record. This process will eliminate the need for the school to produce completion certificates, licenses to keep the certificates until renewal time, and agency staff having to manual enter each education certificate.
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION In furtherance of the state's responsibility to protect the
integrity of the Democratic process and to ensure fair elections, the Commission oversees Campaign Finance Disclosure and Personal Financial Disclosure for an estimated 6,000 public offices of the state, county and municipal governments in Georgia. The commission is charged with registration of lobbyists at both state and local levels of government, and the commission receives and maintains lobbyist disclosure reports filed by all registered lobbyists. The commission is also charged with vendor disclosure for the State of Georgia for those vendors who meet the requirements for filing. Vendor reports are received and maintained and penalties for late filing are collected.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The information technology plan addresses the need for
substantial upgrades of systems to meet the needs of Georgia citizens. Existing systems and business procedures throughout the office are being enhanced to improve their function and being changed to lower costs and improve performance in delivering information to the taxpayer. This includes the transfer, effective July 1, 2003, of application staff from the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) to the agency for the continued maintenance of Secretary of State applications that run on GTA mainframe computers. Plans are underway to integrate digital image technology into information management and document delivery across a number of SOS operations.
Initiatives will focus on finding ways to move services closer to the taxpayer at less cost, increase opportunities for the agency to utilize e-commerce in transactions between citizens over the Internet, and expand use of digital imaging and electronic communication for the transfer of information among agencies and to the public.

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 five-year terms. There are five commission members in all, one 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.
RESOURCE PLANNING A partnership between the commission, the Flint River
Regional Water Council, Inc., Georgia State University, and Albany State University provides research and planning for water resources in southwest Georgia. The primary purpose of the partnership is to enhance and protect water quality and supply in the Flint River Basin. Research areas include irrigation management and efficiency; the potential role of off-main-stream reservoirs and small ponds for augmenting water supply; and water use and water rights.
AUTHORITY Title 2 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

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 Rural and Urban Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Programs including the Erosion and Sediment Control Program are supporting Georgia's Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) assessment and implementation program. The commission and its staff are providing financial and technical assistance to reduce nonpoint source pollution to landowners, government and watershed associations that are responding to the State's 322 TMDL's limit.
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 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 Hooks-Hanner Environmental Resource Center in Dawson employs a multifaceted approach to the region's water planning challenges. Irrigation management specialists 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. Approximately 275 irrigation efficiency audits have been completed.
In addition to the Commission's staff, partnerships have been formed 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.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia Student Finance Commission was created to help improve the higher education opportunities of the citizens of this state by administering the programs through a centralized staffing arrangement of the Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation and the Georgia Student Finance Authority.
COMMISSION OPERATIONS The commission serves as the executive branch agency
designated to receive appropriations of funds for the student financial aid programs of the corporation and the authority. Those programs funded through the commission include the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, other educational scholarship and grant programs supported by both lottery proceeds and state general fund appropriations.
GEORGIA HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE CORPORATION
The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit public corporation of the state and is responsible for administering a program of guaranteed educational loans to eligible students and parents in accordance with state law and the requirements of the Federal Higher Educational Loan Act. In FY 2002, the corporation guaranteed over 39,900 new loans for eligible students and parents. The value of those loans exceeded $234,500,000. Purchases of defaulted loans totaled over $43,750,000. Approximately $25,250,000 was recovered from loans that were purchased and placed in the default collection process.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE AUTHORITY The Georgia Student Finance Authority, a nonprofit
public corporation of the state, is responsible for providing student financial aid to eligible Georgians through loan, scholarship and grant assistance programs as prescribed by the General Assembly. In FY 2002, the authority disbursed over $43,600,000 in state general funds and agency revenues for over 42,900 students and over $334,000,000 in HOPE Scholarship and other lottery funded grant and scholarship programs for over 200,600 students.
The authority is also authorized to be a lender under the Georgia Higher Educational Loan Program. In FY 2002, the authority originated over $41,990,000 in student loans, and the total value of loans serviced exceeded $357,000,000.
The authority has the responsibility of performing all management, supervisory, clerical and administrative functions required by the corporation and the commission. The authority also provides administrative and operational support services, at no state cost, to the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (NPEC), which is attached for administrative purposes.
ATTACHED AGENCY The Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education
Commission is responsible for regulating private postsecondary schools in this state in order to protect the financial investment of Georgians participating in their programs.
AUTHORITY O.C.G.A 20-3-230 et.seq., 20-3-250 et.seq., 20-3-260
et.seq. and 20-3-310 et.seq.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

The continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the 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. These 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. The HOPE Scholarship provides for tuition, fees and a book allowance for public institutions and a $3,000 award for students in private institutions.
The FY 2004 recommendation of $422,750,893 will provide approximately 262,839 HOPE scholarships and grants to 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 for 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 Governor recommends $5,332,698 for FY 2004.
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 Governor recommends $5,855,278 for FY 2004.

The PROMISE II Scholarship provides cancelable loans to teacher aides or paraprofessionals displaced when class sizes were lowered, and state funding for paraprofessionals was not specifically provided in the QBE formula. Paraprofessionals and instructional aides working in Georgia, during the 1999-2000 school year, are eligible for this program. Starting Spring 2003, no new applications will be accepted for the PROMISE II program. Total funding for FY 2004 is $559,090.
The commission also administers the lottery funded Georgia Military Scholarships ($770,477), Public Safety Memorial Grants ($255,850), and Engineer Scholarships ($760,000).
GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS State, federal and other funds are appropriated to the
commission in several unique object classes to support the grant and scholarship programs of the authority. These programs are as follows:
Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG) A state-funded grant program providing an annual grant to each eligible Georgia student attending an approved private college.
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.
North Georgia College ROTC Grants Provides a state scholarship of $1,500 per year to each full-time Georgia student enrolled in military ROTC training at North Georgia College.
Georgia Military Scholarship Provides assistance to students to attend North Georgia College and State University. Thirty-seven high school seniors are selected each year to receive full four-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.
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.
Governor's Scholarship Provides an annual award to Georgia students selected as Georgia Scholars, STAR students, high school valedictorians and salutatorians that

382

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION Strategies and Services

go on to attend Georgia eligible colleges and universities in this state.
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 program 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.
STATE EDUCATIONAL LOAN PROGRAM The Georgia Student Finance Authority is the legal
entity, which actually serves as the lender (or limited purpose "bank") for 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. GSFA currently originates approximately 5% of FFELP loans made to students in the state of Georgia.
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. A majority of these loans are dedicated to nursing and allied health fields. State funds appropriated to the commission as "Guaranteed Educational Loans" are paid to the authority to support this program.

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. GHEAC currently guarantees approximately 18% of the more than $1 billion in student loans guaranteed in Georgia on a yearly basis. The federally guaranteed loan programs include the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program and the Federal Plus Loan.
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 that 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.

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 10 members as follows: State Auditor, ex officio Director, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex
officio Two classroom teachers (both active members of TRS)
appointed by the Governor One school administrator (an active member of TRS)
appointed by the Governor One Board of Regents employee (an active member of
TRS) appointed by the Board of Regents One trustee appointed by the Governor who 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 money elected by the trustees
Board members who are not ex officio serve 3-year terms. The board convenes bi-monthly 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 $46 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.
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 four functional units: Administrative Services, Technical Education, Quick Start and Adult Literacy.

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

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

TECHNICAL EDUCATION Georgia's technical colleges continue to experience
steady enrollment growth, with a full time equivalent enrollment of 71,110 in FY 2002, an increase of 21.9% over FY 2001. 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.

The Governor's recommendation for personal services at the colleges in FY 2004 accounts for variations between instructional and administrative costs (which had previously been weighted equally). However, further refinements of the formula should lead to greater sophistication. Revisions are dependent upon the department developing a comprehensive data collection system, which would enable it to account for average costs versus (decreasing) marginal costs, cost fluctuations for distance learning, school performance, and several other variables. 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.

FORMULA FUNDING The Education Reform Act of 2000 requires that
DTAE be funded based on an enrollment-driven formula, like the other 2 major education agencies. A preliminary formula was first 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 is designed so that funding is generated based on credit hours from 2 years prior to the budget year. In FY 2004, the Governor recommends an increase of $30,598,359 for state technical colleges' personal services.
The operating component is based on total square feet of operating space. The Governor recommends $2,511,004 in additional formula funding for operating expenses in FY 2004.
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. The formula generates an additional $405,000 in FY 2004 and the recommendation is included in the G.O. bond package.

NEW CONSTRUCTION Governor Perdue is cognizant of the challenges faced
by the technical colleges due to the growth in enrollment. New facilities are essential to support this growth. The Governor recommends $27,450,000 in G.O. bonds in the Amended FY 2003 Budget for 2 new major construction projects. For FY 2004, the Governor recommends $5 million to construct a training and visitor center in Pooler, GA.
In addition to new construction, the Governor also recommends $12,105,000 in G.O. bonds to purchase equipment for new DTAE construction projects. While the Governor is committed to the predesign process, he refrains from funding further predesign projects at this time, due to budget constraints and the significant number of completed predesign projects awaiting construction funding. Additionally, the Governor recommends $10,000,000 in G.O. bonds to replace obsolete equipment throughout the technical college system.
THE QUICK START PROGRAM One of the most exciting and valuable resources within
the technical education system is the Georgia Quick Start program. Quick Start epitomizes Georgia's economic growth and workforce development by functioning as an incentive to new business and industry as well as promoting the expansion of existing businesses. Quick Start helps industries start up and expand their operations in Georgia by creating customized training programs. Georgia's Quick Start is nationally recognized for providing high-quality training services at no cost to new or expanding businesses in the state.
One of the construction projects included in the Amended FY 2003 Budget, is a specialized training center in the Savannah metro area. This center will allow Quick Start to continue its mission through providing services, which include workforce selection, training, and organizational development services.

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 This function is 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 The Administration function provides executive
management, personnel management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions.
Facilities and Equipment This function deals with new and replacement
equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's operations.
Inter-modal Transfer Facilities The Inter-modal function 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 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 This division is designated as the local assuror for the
Savannah Harbor and is responsible for the provision and maintenance of lands, dikes and control works necessary for present and future storage of dredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and these dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the local assurer.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Strategies and Services

The Department of Transportation's (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.
Today, Georgia's transportation system encompasses 113,655 miles of public roads, 4,853 miles of railroad, 103 publicly owned airports and four shipping ports. The Department also serves the mobility needs of residents through 12 urban transit systems and 82 rural transit systems.
The Department is recognized nationally for its leadership in transportation management as demonstrated through NAVIGATOR, Georgia's high-tech Intelligent Transportation System. This system monitors more than 234 miles of highway through the use of 1044 state-ofthe-art video cameras, 63 changeable message signs, and data management technologies to relay real-time traffic conditions 24 hours a day in the Wayne Shackelford Transportation Management Center.
Other measures used to control traffic congestion and air pollution include 78 miles of HOV lanes, 88 park and ride lots and 2,943 miles of bicycle and pedestrian routes.
CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS 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 FY 2004 Budget, the Governor recommends an additional $12,130,400 in motor fuel funds to match federal funding available to the state for the year, bringing the total motor fuel matching funds to $218,584,461 in FY 2004. In the future, these funds could match up to $995,667,729 in potential federal funding. 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 known as the developmental highway program. There are currently 12 active GRIP corridors

throughout the state. In FY 2004, the Governor recommends $100,000,000 in General Obligation bond funds for the GRIP Program.
MASS TRANSIT / RAIL PROGRAMS In Amended Fiscal Year 2003, the Governor
recommends $4,000,000 for rail track improvements in support of a megasite in Pooler. The $4,000,000 will be a combination of $1,000,000 in Amended Fiscal Year 2003 state general funds and $3,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2004 G. O. Bonds.
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 millennium. Therefore, the Governor recommends $4,889,484 in state general funds to provide continuation for mass transit grants.
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.
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 770,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries in all matters pertaining to veterans' affairs. Since all veterans' benefits must 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 8 staff.
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 475-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres of land. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (i.e., building limited to 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
seven member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, with confirmation by the Senate. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of a Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a 4-year term.

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 filling claims for benefits through the department Advise the Governor, the Board and the General Assembly regarding veterans' legislation and policies

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 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 2002, the department processed 591,291 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 650,000 in FY 2003.
GEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME MILLEDGEVILLE
In FY 2003, 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 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 2003, this facility will provide an estimated 62,000 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 main entrance, ceremonial area, hearse parking area, and a 6-acre storm retention lake. The cemetery opened in December 2001, and has since conducted 141 burials.

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 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. The Board 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 three directors, 1 of which is a
chair, and all are 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, it heads 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 Enforcement Division investigates workers' compensation fraud and issues of non-compliance.
Other divisions under the board include: Managed Care & Rehabilitation, Licensure & Quality Assurance, and Appeals & Settlements.

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 services; 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.
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.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOULUTION 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.

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. The staff for this division handles over 600 cases a month, which previously may have gone to a full hearing.
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.

ENFORCEMENT DIVISION 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.

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING
491

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING - OVERVIEW

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 seventh 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 Assembly, program managers, and the public to relate program results to program expenditures. This information will assist the Governor and the General Assembly in allocating scarce resources to best benefit the citizens of Georgia by: Focusing the legislative process upon the policy
implications of funds spent in state agency programs and services.
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.

To ensure that the RBB data is of the highest quality, state agencies are required to turn in detailed data reporting and disclosure information for each actual result. Although, it should be noted that 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. Program managers are using RBB information to better plan, set priorities, manage, and provide services to the public. Thus, ResultsBased Budgeting has not only made government more accountable to its citizens, but also has had a positive impact on program management.
The FY 2004 Budget Report's Results-Based Budget section includes a comparison of FY 1999 - 2002 desired results and actual performance. It also shows actual result data for FY 1998 through FY 2002. 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.
The Program Fund Allocation sections of the RBBs are determined after the ZBB based Governor's budget recommendation is finalized for each state agency. Consequently, the RBB Program Fund Allocation provides an estimated cost for achieving the actual results in a given program. Currently, the RBB Actual Result trend data provides information that is used in the Governor's budget hearings with state agency heads. These meetings provide the background information that the Governor uses to make his final funding decisions for the Budget Report.
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 , or check the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) web page (http://www.opb.state.ga.us/).
The RBB program data for all State Agencies is in the following section. RBB program data includes:
Program purposes and goals, Desired results, Actual results, and Program fund allocations.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
Results-Based Budgeting
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.

Desired Result 1a: Daily cost of regular parole supervision. [1]

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)

Goal 2: Community supervision will produce a parolee who is law abiding, employable and self sufficient.

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.

IMPACT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE FY 2004 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 2004 Recommended Budget.

In summary, $1,136 million of the FY 2004 Governor's $16.3 billion Recommended Budget directly supports the Capital Outlay Program, representing 7.0% 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 2004 and Amended FY 2003 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 $13.9 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.
The Financing and Investment Division performs all services relating to the issuance of public debt, the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from the incurring of general obligation debt or such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, the management of other state debt, and all financial advisory matters pertaining thereto.
The Construction Division is responsible for all construction and construction-related matters resulting from the issuance of public debt or from any such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, except that in the case of bond proceeds for public road and bridge construction or reconstruction, the commission contracts with the Department of Transportation or the Georgia Highway Authority for the supervision of and contracting for designing,

planning, building, rebuilding, constructing, improving, operating, owning, maintaining, leasing, and managing of public roads and bridges for which general obligation debt has been authorized and in all other cases when the commission shall contract with a state department, authority, or agency for the acquisition or construction of projects under the policies, standards, and operating procedures established by the commission. The Construction Division is also responsible for performing such construction-related services for state agencies and instrumentalities as may be assigned to the commission by executive order of the Governor.
PURPOSE OF BONDS The Constitution of the State of Georgia [see Article VII,
Section IV, Paragraph I] provides that the state may incur public debt of two types for public purposes: 1) general obligation debt and 2) guaranteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state, its agencies, departments, institutions, and certain state authorities, to provide educational facilities for county and independent school systems, to provide public library facilities for county and independent school systems, counties, municipalities, and boards of trustees of public libraries or boards of trustees of public library systems, to make loans to counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, local authorities, and other local government entities for water or sewerage facilities or systems, and to make loans to local government entities for regional or multijurisdictional solid waste recycling or solid waste facilities or systems. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of certain revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the state to finance certain specified public projects.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMITATIONS The Constitution [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.
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

702

FINANCING CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS - ISSUANCE OF DEBT

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.

707

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

708

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.

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.

AGENCY FUNDS -- Funds collected by the various agencies of state government and retained to be spent on agency programs. These funds are estimated in the Governor's Budget Report and the Appropriations Act. The agencies can change the amount of these funds by amendments to the Annual Operating Budget based on actual collections during the year. Also known as Other Funds.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE TAX -- A state excise tax of 50 cents per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax of 50 cents per liter of distilled spirits; an excise tax of 70 cents per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax of 50 cents per liter on all alcohol.

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

ALLOTMENT -- The authorization for a state agency to withdraw funds from the state treasury for expenditure. Before each fiscal year begins, agencies must file an annual operating budget plan based on an Appropriations Act. Allotments are requested quarterly based on the plan. Once a quarterly allotment is approved for an agency, that agency can draw funds as needed.
AMENDED BUDGET REPORT -- A document submitted by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor recommends spending changes in the current fiscal year for the agencies of state government. The Amended Budget Report can involve budget additions, budget deletions or transfers of funds within agency object classes. Also known as the "supplemental budget" or the "little budget."
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET (AOB) -- A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriations Act, by agency and functional budget. The plan details a level of expenditure by object class for a given fiscal year and must be approved by OPB before taking effect.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENT -Revisions to the annual operating budget, which must be submitted to OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of funds from one activity/function to another.
APPROPRIATION -- An authorization by the General Assembly to a state agency to spend, from public funds, a

AUSTERITY ADJUSTMENTS -- Spending reductions throughout state government as a result of slower growth in revenues than expected, resulting in projected shortfalls in anticipated revenue growth.
AUTHORITY -- A public corporation formed to undertake a state responsibility that operates in a competitive financial and business environment and should be run like a business corporation.

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

The formal budget message, dealing primarily with the following year's budget, is made to a joint session during the first week that the Legislature convenes. A speech detailing the Governor's Amended Budget recommendations is made to a joint session of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the week before the session.
BUDGET REPORT -- A document that displays all programs, efforts and expenditures that are recommended by the Governor for each agency during a specific fiscal year. The Budget Report includes the Governor's official estimate of state revenue to be collected during the fiscal year and details any surplus, reserve or other funds that are available for expenditure. The fund availability outlined by the Governor determines the size of the budget for any given year. The Budget Report for the upcoming fiscal year is also known as the "big budget," the "outyear budget" and the "Governor's budget." The Amended Budget Report, which recommends changes to the current fiscal year budget, is known as the "little budget."
BUDGET UNIT -- A department, board, commission, office, institution or other unit of organization that has, under general law, an independent existence and thus is authorized to receive and expend an appropriation. A department or agency may have one or more budget units in the Appropriations Act.

E
EMERGENCY FUND -- An appropriation to the Office of the Governor that is set aside for the Governor to provide grants to state agencies to meet emergency needs. Grants from the fund cannot involve a recurring obligation.
ENHANCEMENT FUNDS -- Funding for required services that are above adjusted base level.
ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS -- Certain programs, usually federal in origin, that provide benefits to individuals based on specific eligibility requirements. Medicaid is the largest entitlement program operated by the state.
F
FEDERAL FUNDS -- Funding from the federal government to pay for all or portions of specific programs. Often, federal funds require a state fund "match" in order to receive the federal allocation.

720

GLOSSARY

FISCAL AFFAIRS SUBCOMMITTEE -- Twenty members of the House of Representatives and the Senate comprise the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee, which is authorized to meet when the General Assembly is not in session to consider fiscal affairs transfers as described below at the request of the Governor. The membership includes the House Speaker and four other State Representatives appointed by the Speaker, the Lieutenant Governor and four Senators appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, and five members of each house appointed by the Governor.
FISCAL AFFAIRS TRANSFERS -- Appropriations are made through allocations to specific object classes, and funds must be spent within those object classes. Language in each Appropriations Act states that "...no funds whatsoever, shall be transferred between object classes without the prior approval of at least 11 members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This...shall apply to all funds of each budget unit whatever source derived." Fiscal affairs transfers can be considered at any time at the Governor's request but are usually considered near the end of the fiscal year to help agencies to meet emergency needs and to address unanticipated budget problems.
FISCAL YEAR -- Any 12-month period at the end in which financial accounts are balanced. The state fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. The federal fiscal year begins October 1 and ends September 30.

FUNDS [i.e., state, total, other] -- As used for the general purposes of the budget summaries and schedules in this document, unless otherwise noted, refers to state revenues available or received. The state's specific governmental accounting fund classifications are documented in the state Comprehensive Annual Financial Report prepared by the Department of Audits and Accounts.
G
GENERAL FUNDS -- State money that is used for general purposes of state government. General funds are derived from taxes, fees and other general revenues and are appropriated to finance the ordinary operations of

governmental units. These funds are included in the Governor's Revenue Estimate and are a part of the State's Budget Fund for accounting purposes.
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS -- Bonds sold by the state to fund major capital outlay projects or for the management of state debt. The bonds are backed by "the full faith, credit and taxing power of the state."
GUARANTEED REVENUE BONDS -- State-sold bonds that have the principal and interest payable from earnings of a public enterprise. The state is required by law to appropriate one year's debt payment and to retain the total at that level until the bonds have been retired. Guaranteed Revenue Bonds can only be issued for specific purposes as outlined in the State Constitution.
I
INDIGENT CARE TRUST FUNDS -- A program that involves the use of Medicaid funds to compensate disproportionate share hospitals for indigent care and to support expanding primary care programs. Participating hospitals make payments into the Trust Fund, and these payments are used to match with Medicaid funds. Most of the funds are then returned to the hospitals, with a small amount used for state-level programs. An amendment to the State Constitution authorized the newly revamped program and restricts the use of these funds. These funds are included in the Governor's Revenue Estimate and are a part of the State's Budget Fund for accounting purposes.
INDIRECT FUNDING -- The Appropriations Act each year allocates direct funding to the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) for computer and telecommunications services to be provided to seven state agencies. These funds are allocated in this manner to facilitate cash flow for DOAS but are available to DOAS only as services are provided to each agency.
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX -- The tax is based upon an individual's federal adjusted gross income with specific adjustments as provided by state law. The tax is computed at a graduated rate and assessed in a range of 1% to 6% dependent on income levels and filing status.

Since most appropriations are made for a single fiscal year, any unexpended or unencumbered fund balances at the end of the fiscal year lapse into the state's general treasury, unless otherwise provided by law. There are two kinds of lapses. Non-allotted lapses occur when appropriations are never allotted to a state agency for expenditure and automatically revert to the state treasury on June 30 of each year. Audited lapses occur when budgeted funds are allotted to a state agency for expenditure but are not spent. These unspent funds are identified and lapsed by the State Auditor in the annual audit of each state agency.
