Revenue Shortfall Reserve

The RevenueShortfall1976 Reserve session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve in lieu of the Working Reserve. This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. Current law provides that the reserve cannot exceed 15% of the previous fiscal year's net revenue. For each fiscal year, the General Assembly may appropriate an amount up to 1% of the net revenue collections of the preceding fiscal year for funding increased K-12 needs. In addition, the Governor has the authority to release funds from the reserve in excess of 4% of the net revenue of the preceding fiscal year. The chart for FY 2010 includes agency surplus collected after June 30, 2010 and does not include funds used for mid-year K-12 adjustment.

Lottery Reserves

Georgia's lottery laws require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.
The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and requires that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10% of the prior year's total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage.
Funds have been set aside for the Shortfall Reserve (10% reserve) each year and totaled $87,208,200 on June 30, 2010.
The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a second reserve account within the Lottery for Education Account be established called the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount.
The Scholarship Shortfall Reserve requires a reserve equal to 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year be maintained. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2010 totaled $272,993,887.
The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2010 total as follows:

The U.S. Supreme Court decision, Olmstead v. L.C (1999) declared that unnecessary segregation of individuals in institutions might constitute discrimination based on disability and be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The decision affects qualified individuals with a physical, mental, or age-related disability who are receiving state-supported long-term care in a state hospital or nursing home that could also benefit from community placement and are not opposed to the move. It also affects people with disabilities who need state-supported community-based services to avoid going to state hospitals or nursing homes. Since the Olmstead decision, Georgia has taken steps to comply with the ruling by making more community services available and accessible to Georgians with disabilities.

Georgia Tax Expenditure Report
Georgia Tax Expenditure Report
Summary Review
Preparation of a tax expenditure report is required by Title 45, Chapter 12, Article 4 of the Official Code of Georgia. This report has been prepared by the Fiscal Research Center at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. The purpose of the report is to list all expenditures and their value.
Date Sources and Reliability of Estimates
To the extent possible, data from the Georgia Department of Revenue is used to estimate the expenditures included in this report. When appropriate information was not available from the department, other sources, such as the United States Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis, or Bureau of Labor Statistics are used. Because of the time line in processing tax returns, the most recent data used from the Department of Revenue is 2008.
The reliability of each estimate is categorized into three classes, A, B, and C. Class A estimates are the most reliable and are based off of the Department of Revenue data of actual Georgia returns. Class B estimates are based on information from a national dataset, such as the Internal Revenue Service Statistics of Income, the Consumer Expenditure Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or the American Community Survey from the United States Census Bureau. Class C estimates are based on information found from the internet or proprietary data that may not fully represent the tax consequences in Georgia. Although B and C estimates are less reliable than A, they are still considered useful estimates of the value of an expenditure.
In addition to state estimates, this report also attempts where possible, to estimate the effects on local revenues as well. There are numerous state exemptions that have important consequences on local governments.
Presentation of the Data
The report provides a detailed list of tax expenditures by each tax component. This includes the personal income tax, corporate income tax, corporate net worth tax, sales and use tax, insurance premium tax, motor fuel tax, alcohol beverages tax, cigar and cigarette excise tax, and financial institutions business license tax. For each type of expenditure item, a cost has been calculated for FY 2010, FY 2011 and FY 2012.

Animal agriculture is the largest sector of agriculture, contributing over $5.8 billion to Georgia's farm gate value. Assuring that the livestock and poultry sectors remain healthy and productive are the top priorities of the Animal Industry Division. The Animal Industry Division consists of veterinarians, field inspectors, laboratory technicians, program managers and support staff, all working to ensure the continued protection of animal and public health; the division works to guarantee food safety, animal welfare and successful livestock production. The Animal Industry Division is responsible for monitoring, detecting and controlling over 100 animal diseases that can have a significant impact on the agricultural economy and can be contagious to both animals and people. This division also ensures the humane treatment of equines and other animals and promotes dog and cat sterilization through its license plate program.
The Meat Inspection Section is the largest functional area of the Animal Industry Division. The section licenses 163 facilities in Georgia and protects consumers from food-borne diseases. Meat inspectors ensure that consumers receive wholesome, safe and truthfully labeled meat and poultry products by assuring compliance with food safety standards. The section also has a primary role in food security and would serve as a first responder to an intentional threat to Georgia's meat supply.

Department of Community Affairs
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) operates a DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiCboilimtiems,uannitdyOArfgfaainrsization host of state and federal grant programs; serves as the state's lead agency in housing finance and development; publishes building codes which are applicable to every structure built in Georgia; provides comprehensive planning, technical, and research assistance to local governments; and serves as the lead agency for the state's solid waste reduction efforts. DCA's three core businesses are safe and affordable housing, community and economic development, and local government assistance.
SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DCA supports Georgia communities in addressing their housing needs by offering funding and expertise to communities, non-profit and for-profit organizations, and individuals. The agency provides financing for affordable housing development, mortgages, and down payment loans for moderate-income first-time homebuyers and financing for housing for people with special needs.
DCA's homeless and special needs housing programs support local programs that provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, essential services, and permanent supportive housing for persons who need community support in order to retain stable housing.
The Section 8 Rental Assistance 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.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DCA's community development programs help the state's communities realize their growth and development goals. The agency administers the federal Community Development Block Grant program, which provides grants annually to cities and counties outside major metropolitan areas in Georgia. DCA's community service programs deliver funding support to AmeriCorps programs located throughout the state. The Leadership Development team helps communities to design, develop, and execute leadership training programs, and coordinates the regional multi-day Georgia Academy for Economic Development in every region of Georgia.
DCA offers economic development and redevelopment incentives and tools designed to help promote growth and job creation throughout the state. Economic development programs deliver grants and loans to Georgia communities for infrastructure (for businesses creating or retaining jobs), brownfield redevelopment, site preparation, downtown redevelopment, and project funding for North Georgia Appalachian communities. Training, design, and technical assistance are also available specifically for downtown development programs.
Planning and quality growth assistance is aimed at helping communities address issues of growth, development, and quality of life through implementation of recognized best practices for planning and growth management. This assistance includes advisory clinics,

These resources enhance the capacity of local governments and communities to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their residents through the sustainable stewardship of the

environment and improvement in the quality of life for our citizens.
The department administers local government surveys related to topics including finance, solid waste, and wages and salaries. It also publishes and maintains information and data about local governments and prepares local government fiscal notes for the General Assembly.

Department of Community Health
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Community Health (DCH) was DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiCboilimtiems,uannitdyOHregaalnthization created in 1999 to serve as the lead agency for health care planning and purchasing issues in Georgia. The General Assembly created DCH by consolidating four agencies involved in purchasing, planning and regulating health care. In 2009, HB 228 restructured the state's health and human services agencies. The Division of Public Health, including the Emergency Preparedness function, transitioned to DCH. Additionally, the Division of Healthcare Facility Regulation was created out of SB 433 (2008) and HB 228 (2009). The division oversees the health- and long-term-care functions transferred from the Office of Regulatory Services. A nineperson board appointed by the Governor has policy-making authority for DCH.
The Department has five major divisions: Medicaid, State Health Benefit Plan, Healthcare Facility Regulation, Public Health, and Emergency Preparedness and Response.
MEDICAID
DCH is designated as the single state agency for Medicaid. The largest division in the department, the Medicaid Division purchases health care on behalf of 1.4 million persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or indigent. A broad array of health care services is available that address the needs of program participants; including hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services. Aged, blind, and disabled Medicaid members utilize a fee-for-

service delivery system. Low-income Medicaid members enroll in Care Management Organizations (CMOs) for the management of their health care services.
State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government traditionally paying for about 65% of health care costs. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provide an enhanced federal participation rate for state Medicaid programs from October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010. The Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act of 2010 extended the enhanced rate through June 30, 2011.
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 over 200,000 children whose parents' income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, but who cannot afford private health insurance. Participants pay a monthly premium based on income and family size. Current eligibility allows children in families with incomes between 185% and 235% of the federal poverty level to participate. PeachCare members also enroll in CMOs.
The Division administers the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF), which completed its 20th year of operation in 2010. Using intergovernmental transfers and federal matching funds, the ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians.

Department of Corrections
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Georgia Department of Corrections (DOC) DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiCboilirtrieecst,iaonndsOrganization administers the prison and probation sentences of offenders adjudicated by Georgia courts. More than 55,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 150,000 offenders are on probation.
As part of its strategic plan, the department has developed the following priorities:
Sound correctional practices are 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 and professional workforce is available to achieve the Department's mission, both today and in years to come.
Offenders are prepared 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 and 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, food preparation, laundry, construction, facility and landscape maintenance, and perform factory work in Georgia Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants.
The types of DOC institutions include the following facilities:
State Prisons (32): These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve.
County Prisons (23): 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 (14): These three programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol.
Transition Centers (15): 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. Pre-Release Centers (6): These facilities are designed to give inmates additional work experience, cognitive skill, vocational, and AA/NA treatment programs prior to release. Participating inmates are selected within two years of their scheduled release. Day Reporting Centers (13): These non-custody, community-based resources offer treatment to offenders that are assessed to have a greater risk of re-offending without appropriate interventions. DRC interventions focus on substance abuse, criminal thinking, education, and employment issues. Private Prisons (2): Corrections Corporation of America owns and operates two prisons in Coffee and Wheeler Counties to house state-sentenced inmates. Like state prisons, these facilities are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve.

Probation is designed to enforce judicial sentences in the community. The Statewide Probation Act of 1956 laid the legal foundation for the Probation Division. The law provides for standardized supervision by sworn peace officers of those offenders sentenced to probation, either directly from court on a straight probation sentence, or after completing a specified term of imprisonment on a split sentence.
Probationers are required to be employed and to pay restitution, fees, fines, and court costs. Many probationers are also required to perform community service, defined as 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.

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 and 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.

Department of Education
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The State Board of Education establishes policies that DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiEbdiliuticeast,ioanndOrganization the Georgia Department of Education administers under the direction of the State Superintendent of Schools. The Department disburses state education funds, provides technical assistance and support services to local school systems, operates three state schools for hearing- and visually-impaired students, and provides intensive assistance to local schools identified by the Office of Student Achievement.
There are 193 school systems in the state operating more than 2,292 schools. These schools are primarily funded through the Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula - a partnership between the state and local school systems that provides over $8 billion in funding for education.
STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT
The Department of Education provides leadership in developing and implementing the state's core curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for elementary, middle and secondary students. The state began phasing in the GPS in FY 2005. Currently, the curriculum has been implemented in all grades for English/Language Arts and Science, grades K-9 in Mathematics and grades K-5 and 8-12 in Social Studies.
The State Board of Education has adopted new graduation requirements which will be in effect for current 9th graders, the Class of 2012. The new Graduation Rule eliminates Georgia's "tiered" diploma. All students will be

required to have 23 credits to include 4 credits each in Mathematics, Science, and English/Language Arts. All students are expected to take the same core classes and to use their electives to personalize their education, depending on their post-secondary plans.
In an effort to expand educational opportunities for all students in Georgia, the Department opened the Georgia Virtual School in FY 2006. The Georgia Virtual School provides core curriculum, foreign language, business electives and Advanced Placement (AP) courses online for public, private and home school students.

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement ERmolpeslo,Ryeeesps'oRnestiibreilmitieens,taSnydstOemrgaonfiGzaetoiorgnia System (ERS) administers nine separate retirement systems and programs: ERS, the Legislative Retirement System (LRS), the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP), the Georgia Judicial Retirement System (GJRS), the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS), the State Employees' Assurance Department (SEAD), the Georgia Military Pension Fund (GMPF), PeachState Reserves and the Social Security contracts between the state and its political subdivisions.
In general, ERS is a vehicle for collecting employee and employer contributions, investing accumulated funds, and disbursing retirement benefits to members and beneficiaries. As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet the future obligations of each retirement plan. An independent accounting firm also audits the system each year.
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Since 1950, the staff of ERS has administered retirement benefits for state employees in accordance with the Official Code of Georgia. Full-time employees of participating departments are required to become members of ERS as a condition of employment, with the exception of employees who first become eligible after age 60.

The ERS Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for administration of the system, while the executive director who is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members is responsible for daily management of ERS operations. The board consists of seven members as follows:
Three ex officio members (State Auditor, State Personnel Administration Commissioner, and Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services Director).
One member appointed by the Governor Two members appointed by the first four
members with five or more years of creditable service with ERS and One member appointed by the first six members who must not hold public office, not be an ERS member, and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of money. The members who are not ex officio members serve four-year terms.
LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM (LRS) AND GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN (GDCP)
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.

seven ERS trustees plus two additional members appointed by the Governor for four-year terms.
GEORGIA MILITARY PENSION FUND (GMPF)

Georgia Forestry Commission

Georgia Forestry Commission
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Georgia Forestry Commission is responsible for the GRoeloersg,iRaeFsoproenstsribyiClitoimesm,ainssdioOnrganization conservation of Georgia's public and private forest resources. The commission carries out this mission by protecting the forest from fire, insects, and diseases, working with forest industry and landowners to manage and utilize forest resources, providing educational programs about the danger of wildfire and best management practices, and supplying high-quality tree seedlings to Georgia landowners for reforestation.
The Georgia Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forestland, which represents 75% of all land in the State. The commission has four main programs: Administration, Forest Protection, Forest Management, and the Tree Seedling Nursery. Through these programs, the Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to rural forest landowners, offers technical assistance to municipalities and urban landowners, provides seedlings to the citizens of Georgia at a reasonable price, and protects the forest resources of the state through fire prevention and suppression.
FOREST PROTECTION
Forest Protection, the primary function of the Georgia Forestry Commission, is carried out through the Fire Business Activities, which includes the prevention and suppression of Georgia's forest fires. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires, followed by a powerful initial response from trained firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water

trucks. The effectiveness of the Forest Protection program is a direct result of properly maintained equipment that can be quickly mobilized in the early phases of a forest fire. In addition, forest rangers carry out prescribed forest fires and limit the damage they may cause.
Under state code, the Georgia Forestry Commission is responsible for all wildfires outside the unincorporated areas of our state and therefore manages the Rural Fire Defense subprogram. This program ensures state coordination and cooperation with rural fire departments across the state and is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the commission. Rural Fire Defense provides low cost fire equipment, as well as, assistance with training and operations for local, mostly rural, fire departments statewide.
Through the Fire Prevention and Education Program, the commission provides information about the dangers of wildfires and their prevention and has established prevention measures such as burn permitting to encourage responsible debris burning.
FOREST MANAGEMENT
In the area of forest management, the commission provides technical assistance and service to private and industrial landowners. The responsibility of the Urban and Community Forestry Assistance subprogram 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.
Multiple forest resource management techniques for both public and private lands are encouraged and promoted through the Stewardship Management subprogram, which also conducts forest health monitoring (including periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys and eradication), promotion of forest water quality and monitoring of best management practices, and cost-share 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 through State Managed Forests.
The Commission also works to enhance the value of forests and their contribution to the economy of Georgia through Utilization and Marketing. This promotes Georgia's forest resources and products both nationally and internationally, including traditional wood products from existing mills and new bioenergy products. The commission is educating Georgian's on recovering value from carbon

credit forestry offsets and is implementing the Georgia Carbon Registry.
Finally, the commission collects forestry data used to inform Georgia residents and policy makers through its Forestry Inventory and Analysis subprogram.
REFORESTATION
The role of the Reforestation Division is to provide high quality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the residents of Georgia at a reasonable price without cost to the taxpayer. The Reforestation Division at the Georgia Forestry Commission is comprised of two programs, Tree Improvement and Tree Seedling Nursery. Through these programs, the commission develops genetically superior tree seedlings at the state's Flint River Nursery, and then sells them to the public, ensuring the regeneration and sustainability of Georgia's forested lands.

Office of the Governor
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Governor is the Chief Executive Officer of state ORoffliecse,RoefsthpeonGsoibvielirtnieosr,andOrganization 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. The Governor is also charged statutorily with a number of responsibilities, including the economic and fiscal management of state government. To accomplish these duties, the Governor must meet and work with citizens of Georgia, officials of local governments, members of the General Assembly, state agency heads, and federal officials. These activities will move us toward a better managed and more educated, healthy, safe, and growing state.
The Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) assists the Governor in the development of a policy driven state budget, develops and annually updates a State Strategic Plan, assists all state agencies in the development of their own strategic plans and ensures compatibility with the state plan, and, performs financial and personnel functions for the Office of the Governor and attached agencies. OPB also conducts management studies and other evaluations of state government operations. The Governor's Program Budgeting initiative dictates that budgets will be predicated on programs that support departmental business plans and a more effective and efficient, results-oriented, and customer-focused budget process.
ATTACHED AGENCIES
Several agencies are attached to the Office of the Governor for administrative purposes. This reduces

administrative costs through consolidation of the administrative support functions. These agencies operate autonomously; however, their funding is received through the larger agency.
The Georgia Council for the Arts contributes to an educated and growing Georgia. The Council for the Arts advises the Governor regarding the study and development of the arts in Georgia and provides grants and technical assistance to local governments and art groups.
The Professional Standards Commission and the Office of Student Achievement are two administratively attached agencies that work toward the goal of an educated Georgia. The Professional Standards Commission creates and implements standards and procedures for certification of educational personnel in the public schools; reviews and analyzes requests for certification; and, develops and enforces the code of ethics and performance standards for teachers in local school systems. The Office of Student Achievement establishes educational accountability policies and standards for the state to establish the "official" education report card which is reported to stakeholders and used to provide education policy support to the Governor.
The Office of the Child Advocate provides for the protection of children and assists the Office of the Governor with oversight of healthy and safe services for some of Georgia's most important resources our children. The Child Advocate provides independent oversight of persons,

Through a community-based system of care, GOCF offers grants for prevention and intervention activities for children, youth and families to ensure they are educated, healthy, safe and growing. GOCF works to build capacity in communities to enable sustainability of such activities and services. Interagency coordination assistance in establishing statewide goals and standards is also a cornerstone of GOCF's community development work.
The attached agencies focusing on a safe Georgia are the Office of Consumer Protection and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. The Office of Consumer Protection 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 Georgia Emergency Management Agency works with state and local agencies to protect the state from man-made and natural disasters and to carry out a comprehensive emergency and disaster readiness program.
The Commission on Equal Opportunity's mission is to protect any individual in public employment from discrimination in the workplace. In addition, the commission ensures that the sale, purchase or rental of housing within the state is free from any discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or age.
The Office of the State Inspector General was created by Executive Order to prevent and investigate fraud, waste and abuse in state government. Their goal is to produce a more efficient, cost-effective, and trustworthy government.

Department of Juvenile Justice
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created by DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiJbuilviteiensil,eanJudstOicreganization the General Assembly in its 1992 session. The Department's role is twofold:
Provide for the supervision, detention, and rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody or supervision, and
Provide necessary public safety services by appropriately separating youth offenders from the community.
The Department accomplishes its mission through the operation of its five programs: Community Non-Secure Services, Community Supervision, Secure Detention, Secure Commitment, and Administration. DJJ provides its services to nearly 60,000 youth every year and maintains a daily population of about 22,200. Youth who enter into the Department's care include those sentenced to probation, short-term incarceration, or committed to the state's custody as part of a long-term secure confinement plan.
Based on a needs assessment, youth placed in the Department's care receive a variety of rehabilitative services as well as required educational programming. The Department operates as a separate state school district and has received full Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accreditation for both its regular and vocational education components. Juvenile offenders participate in many therapeutic and counseling programs that support their transition back into their communities and reduce the risk of future delinquent activity. One of the

Department's foremost principles is that of Balanced and Restorative Justice, a set of values that asks that the primary stakeholders in a crime be involved in repairing the harm caused and work to ensure that the community is a stronger place following the incident.
DJJ operates under the guidance of a 15-member board appointed by the Governor.
COMMUNITY NON-SECURE SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION
These programs house the services provided to youth offenders placed in community settings as a result of directives issued by the Juvenile Court system. A broad continuum of specific programs delivering supervisory and rehabilitative services are provided to these youthful offenders, including residential therapeutic treatment, wilderness programs, group homes, multi-systemic therapy services, intensive supervision programs, and electronic monitoring. Some 20,000 youth reside in community-based settings on any given day while in the Department's care.
The Community Supervision program contains all employees responsible for administering those programs housed within the Community Non-Secure Services program. Over 850 of the department's 4,200 staff members are part of the Community Supervision program. Most of these are Juvenile Probation and Parole Specialists, whose

State Board of Pardons and Paroles
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is comprised of SRtoaltees,BRoeasrpdoonfsPibairlditoienss,aannddOPargroalneiszation 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.
AGENCY OPERATIONS
In order to accomplish its mission, the agency has identified two core businesses:
Making informed parole decisions (Clemency), and Transitioning offenders back into the community
(Field Supervision). The agency has re-engineered its entire organization to ensure that business processes, strategic objectives, performance measures, programs, and budget are all aligned with the core mission. The organizational structure of the agency also reflects the core businesses and mission of the agency.
The Clemency Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed parole decisions. They also manage requests for restoration of rights and pardons.
The Field Operations Division assists the Board 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 53 offices throughout the state. Field parole officers provide offender supervision through a balanced strategy which blends both surveillance and enforcement along with referrals to treatment and self help programs.
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.
Support Services units conduct the internal operations of the agency including budget, staff training, personnel, quality assurance audits, research, evaluation and technology, legislative liaison, internal affairs, victim, and public information services. The Board is dedicated to using innovative technology to reduce costs and improve service delivery to all agency staff. The agency leads the state in automated business processes, and leads the nation with an automated field case management system.

Public Service Commission

Public Service Commission
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for PRuoblelsic,RSeesrpviocnesCiboimlitmiesis,sainodnOrganization 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 problems 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, transportation 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 six-year terms. The agency's staff includes accountants, analysts, engineers, information systems specialists, inspectors, and various administrative personnel who assist the Commissioners in fulfilling their duties. The Commission has two programs: Facilities Protection and Utilities Regulation.
FACILITIES PROTECTION
Through its safety program, the Georgia Public Service Commission protects people, property and the environment from physical harm from a release of natural gas or other liquid, and averts interruptions of utility service resulting from damage to utility facilities caused by blasting or

excavating. The Commission fulfills its responsibilities by enforcing industry compliance with safety rules and regulations and by educating the system operators. By training operators, the Commission ensures that industry personnel understand proper procedures for locating and marking utility facilities before blasting or excavating. The combination of enforcement and education is highly effective and contributes to the health and security of Georgia.
UTILITIES REGULATION
The goal of utilities regulation is to ensure that electric, natural gas, transportation and telecommunication providers serve the state with affordable rates and quality service.
Even though the segments of natural gas, telecommunications and transportation industries have been opened to competition, the PSC remains responsible for monitoring the rates and service standards of electric, transportation, telecommunications, and natural gas companies. Additionally, it is the role of the Commission to approve supply plans for electric and natural gas companies, monitor utility system and telecommunications network planning, arbitrate complaints among competitors, provide consumer protection and education, certify competitive transportation, natural gas and telecommunications providers, and ensure that household goods, movers, luxury limousines, buses and non-consensual towers are properly

licensed, insured and able to comply with all safety regulations.
The PSC recognizes that its responsibility to ensure that utility services are reliable and reasonably priced has not changed even as utility markets become more competitive. The Public Service Commission believes 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.

State Soil and Water Conservation Commission
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The State Soil and Water Conservation Commission SRtoaltees,SRoeilsapnodnsWibaitlietireCso,annsderOvargtiaonnizCaotimonmission (SSWCC) was formed to protect, conserve, and improve the soil and water resources of the State of Georgia. The commission's primary goal is to make Georgia a better place for its citizens through the wise use and protection of basic soil and water resources, and to achieve practical water quality goals through agricultural and urban best practices.
There are 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Georgia, composed of one or several counties each; every county has at least two supervisor representatives on the District Board of Supervisors. Serving as the coordinator of the 370 District Supervisors is a commission appointed by the Governor, comprised of five supervisors from different state regions and appointed by the Governor to serve fiveyear terms. There are five commission members in all, one of whom is designated Chairman. The commission is headquartered in Athens with six regional offices, and has a professional staff whose primary duty is to serve and advance the goals of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts. The regional offices are located in Rome, Athens, Conyers, Milledgeville, Dawson, and Statesboro.
CONSERVATION OF AGRICULTURAL WATER SUPPLIES
The Conservation of Agricultural Water Supplies program exists to assist agricultural water users in quantifying water use, conserving existing water supplies through irrigation audits, and reducing dependence on ground water and surface water supplies through

agricultural catchments. The Soil and Water Conservation Commission accomplishes these goals through agricultural water metering by installing water meters on farmers' irrigation systems to track and document water usage. This allows the commission to accurately determine state water use and obtain data to be used by policy makers and individual farmers alike in developing water conservation strategies. In addition, the commission administers farmer incentive programs designed to increase the uniformity and efficiency of agricultural irrigation systems and develop agricultural water catchments for irrigation of cropland in South Georgia.
CONSERVATION OF SOIL AND WATER RESOURCES
The Conservation of Soil and Water Resources program is intended to support landowners in protecting soil and water resources through the use of voluntary best management practices intended to meet water quality standards. Best management practices implemented by the commission and individual farmers prevent erosion and pollution on both agricultural and urban lands.
Three subprograms in the Conservation of Soil and Water Resources program address different types of land and conservation issues. The Agricultural Lands subprogram helps to reduce soil erosion and non-point source pollutants on agricultural lands; Urban Lands addresses erosion on development sites by educating developers, local

governments, and erosion and sediment control professionals on best management practices; and Conservation District Education and Outreach promotes increased awareness of the importance of soil and water conservation by supplying Georgia citizens with research data, mapping systems, and soil and water resource information.
WATERSHED FLOOD CONTROL DAMS
There are 357 USDA-constructed flood control watershed dams in the State of Georgia, most of them located in the northern part of the state. This program provides for proper operation and maintenance of these dams by working with federal, local, and Soil and Water District officials. Through the program, the commission helps to ensure that dams meet the Georgia Safe Dams Act standards for structural integrity, operate efficiently to

provide multi-purpose use, and ensure flood protection for nearby communities.
WATER RESOURCES AND LAND USE PLANNING
The Water Resources and Land Use Planning program exists to conduct planning activities that further the understanding of water use and to improve water management throughout the state. Through wetted acreage maps, reservoir planning, and statewide water plan efforts, the commission provides resource information to stakeholders and policy makers in the statewide water planning process.

Teachers Retirement System

Teachers Retirement System
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Teachers Retirement System (TRS) is a vehicle for TReoalecsh,eRressRpeotnirseimbielintiteSs,yasntedmOrganization 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 State Treasurer, 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
MEMBERSHIP
All individuals employed 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 Technical College System of Georgia, along with public school lunchroom, maintenance, warehouse, and transportation managers and supervisors.
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. Six members of the TRS Board of Trustees, along with the executive director, comprise the Investment Committee. Committee members convene with the Chief Investment Officer of the Investment Services

Technical College System of Georgia
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Quality Basic Education Act (QBE) of 1985 created a TReoclehsn,iRcaelspCoonllesigbeiliStyiesst,eamndofOGrgeaonrgiziaation 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. In 1987, the new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education 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). In 2008 the agency was renamed the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG).
The Department is divided into four programs: Technical Education, Adult Literacy, Economic Development, and Administration.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION
TCSG oversees 26 technical colleges, 31 branch campuses, and seven technical education centers. In 2011, TCSG will complete the final administrative merger reducing the total number of schools from 33 to 25. In addition, there are two technical education divisions housed within two of the University System of Georgia colleges.
TCSG offers more than 1,200 programs and provides opportunities for students to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills to keep pace with rapidly-changing

technology and competition in a world market. Students attending technical 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 two years. The technical colleges serve approximately 190,000 students annually and produce about 32,000 graduates each year.
ADULT LITERACY
The Adult Literacy program, through its network of 37 service delivery areas throughout the state, promotes and provides adult basic education and literacy programs, including the General Educational Diploma (GED) testing program that awards GED diplomas. The program 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.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (QUICK START)
The Economic Development program provides employee training services to new and expanding industries as well as existing industries at no cost through Quick Start. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's business recruitment and retention efforts by serving as a state training incentive. Supported by TCSG's network of technical colleges, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in

Department of Veterans Service
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Veterans Service serves more than DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiVbeiltiteierasn,asnSderOvricgeanization 773,000 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 available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled.
VETERANS ASSISTANCE
The first priority in the Department's mission of veterans' assistance is accomplished with a claims staff, field offices, an information division and a central office. The claims staff processes claims and appeals of Georgia veterans. The field offices, located throughout the state, provide direct assistance to veterans at the local level. Department field office representatives provide counsel and assistance in gathering documentation and information required to process a claim. The Information Division keeps Georgia veterans informed about issues and their possible impact. The Central Office manages and supports all administrative requirements.
STATE VETERANS NURSING HOMES
The Department operates two state veterans' nursing homes. The Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville is a 550-bed facility licensed to provide skilled nursing to eligible Georgia war veterans. It consists of three skilled nursing care buildings and an Alzheimer's Care facility.

The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home in Augusta is a 192-bed skilled nursing care facility located adjacent to the Medical College of Georgia Hospital and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Charlie Norwood Medical Center. In addition to providing care for eligible Georgia war veterans, the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home serves as a teaching facility to acquaint medical and allied health students with medical conditions and diseases that confront the elderly.
GEORGIA VETERANS MEMORIAL CEMETERY
The Department operates two state veterans' memorial cemeteries, which are part of the nation's National Cemetery System. The Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Milledgeville will eventually be a final resting place for more than 100,000 Georgia veterans, their spouses, and their authorized dependents. The Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Glennville, which opened in March of 2008, will eventually be a final resting place for more than 36,000 Georgia veterans, their spouses, and their authorized dependents.
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 that participate in this program. In addition to approving these institutions, the

State Board of Workers' Compensation
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

SRtoaltees,BRoeasrpdoonfsWiboilirtkieerss, 'aCnodmOprgenansaiztaiotinon
WORKERS' COMPENSATION LAW
Most Georgia employees are covered by the state's workers' compensation law. Since passage of this law, employees may now gain benefits from employers when injured on the job. The law 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 three full-time, part-time, or seasonal employees. Some categories of workers are exempt, however, including federal employees, railroad workers, farmers, domestic servants, business partners, independent contractors, and some corporate officers.
The state created the State Board of Workers' Compensation to oversee the workers' compensation law. 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, one of whom is the chair, and all are appointed by the Governor. The directors promulgate workers' compensation regulations and develop workers' compensation policy. They also hear appeals of administrative law judges' decisions and render rulings on appeals, as well as approve and submit budget requests for the agency.
The executive director/chief operating officer oversees the operations of the board. The executive director also provides management supervision, makes presentations to various groups as requested, assists the directors as needed, and acts as peer review of medical services.
The Alternative Dispute Resolution Division mediates appropriate issues, issues orders, and makes presentations to various groups as requested.
The Appellate Division researches cases that are appealed to the board, recommends appropriate action, receives and processes documents regarding appealed cases, and sets calendars for appellate hearings.

The Claims Processing Division includes data entry, documents processing, and file room units. These units are responsible for coding and quality input of claims data, processing correspondence, and coordinating the transfer, retention, and destruction of all claims files.
The Enforcement Division investigates incidents of noncompliance and incidents alleging fraud, maintains information on employers' insurance coverage, and makes presentations to various groups regarding fraud/compliance.
The Legal Division is responsible for conducting hearings in contested cases and ruling on motions. The Division schedules and holds hearings for those claims in which an evidentiary hearing was requested by a party, or in cases where mediation conference was either inappropriate or did not result in resolution of the pending issues.

The Managed Care and Rehabilitation Division processes requests for rehabilitation services, performs quality assurance reviews of rehabilitation suppliers, holds conferences to resolve disputes, reviews and approves rehabilitation plans, reviews applications of managed care organizations, and registers rehabilitation suppliers.
The Settlements Division reviews and processes stipulated settlements, and requests for advances.
The IT Services Division provides innovative contemporary and accessible technology in computing, media, telephone services, and training to enable staff to meet their goals as a state agency.

Note on Expenditure Projections:
Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 are based on the Governor's Budget Recommendations for those years. Projections for Fiscal Years 2013 to 2016 are based on agency case load growth and an inflation factor. There are no provisions to restore agency reductions made in Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 in future years. For Fiscal Years 2013 to 2016 a straight line projection has been employed and does not account for budget control measures and policy decisions necessary to meet the requirement for a balanced budget.

State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2012

Georgia Economic Report

Georgia Economic Report

The GeorgiaEconomicReport recession that began in December 2007 was the most severe US recession since the Great Depression. The National Bureau of Economic Research dated the start of the recession as December 2007 and determined that the recession ended in June 2009, an 18 month span. This is the longest recession since the Great Depression and almost twice as long as the average length of recession in the period after World War II. The recession hit virtually every state, and in fact, the recession has been a global event with recession hitting every region of the globe. Its' impact on economic indicators such as real GDP, non-farm employment, personal income and industrial production have led to pundits naming this the "Great Recession".
As the State nears the middle of FY 2011, the US economic recovery has been in place for over one year. While economic indicators have generally moved higher, the pace of recovery has been modest and, as a result, employment growth has been slow and unemployment remains elevated.
Non-farm employment in the US fell by 8.4 million jobs from the peak prior to the recession to the trough of the recession. This equals a 6.1% decrease. The unemployment rate also increased sharply. Prior to the recession, the US unemployment rate ran near 5.0%. It peaked at 10.1% in October 2009 and is currently at 9.8% as of November 2010. While there has been little improvement in the unemployment rate, other labor market indicators are improving. During 2010, non-farm employment expanded by nearly one million jobs. Initial unemployment insurance claims have been declining indicating that the pace of layoffs is moderating. Also, the average number of hours worked per week and the average weekly earnings of employees of private firms have both strengthened. This indicates that firms are using their existing work force more intensively and is typically a precursor to additional hiring.
Surveys of the manufacturing and services sector also indicate that the economy has strengthened. The Institute of Supply Management's (ISM) Survey of Manufacturing conditions fell sharply with the financial crisis of late 2008. The index returned to expansionary territory in August 2009 and has maintained readings above the 50 level since that time. Exports have increased, domestic demand has improved and the inventory cycle transitioned from drawdown to rebuilding. These factors have all boosted output in the manufacturing sector. The ISM survey of the services sector returned to consistent growth in January 2010. Recent readings indicate that the expansion in this sector is gaining momentum.
Consumer spending contracted sharply in late 2008 as worries over job security, the drop in personal income and falling wealth all combined to bring consumer confidence to extreme lows. The fall in financial markets combined with

the drop in housing values led to a loss of $14 trillion in household wealth from peak to trough. This particularly affected purchases of big ticket items such as durable goods. The automobile industry was especially hard hit. US car sales were in the 16 million units per year range for much of the decade. Sales bottomed around 9 million units annualized during the depths of the recession.
However, retail sales began to grow on a year over year basis in November 2009 and growth is running near 8% year over year as of November 2010. Auto sales have improved but are running near 12 million units per year. While this is well above the 9 million units sold during the depths of the depression, it is far from the 16 million units sold annually prior to the recession. Continued growth in consumer spending is critical to the pace of the economic recovery since consumer spending represents around 70% of total GDP.
Georgia's economy has generally tracked conditions in the national economy except that the downturn has been more severe. The Georgia unemployment rate has consistently exceeded that of the US during this business cycle and the percentage increase in year over year job losses has been higher in Georgia than in the US. Housing activity in Georgia has also fallen sharply.
Georgia economic conditions are improving, although the pace of improvement is slow and the recovery still tenuous. Initial unemployment insurance claims are down from their peaks and are running below year ago levels. Net job additions for the first ten months of 2010 total approximately 10,000 jobs.
Georgia tax revenues fell sharply during the recession but have posted positive year over year growth for each of the last six months through November 2010. Recent growth has been boosted by a large decrease in individual income tax payments in FY 2011. At the end of FY 2009, Department of Revenue processing capacity reductions associated with budget cuts resulted in a large volume of refunds being carried over in to the first quarter of FY 2010. Generally, refund payments were current at the end of FY 2010 so that the change in refund payments in the first quarter of FY 2011 has materially boosted revenue growth.
The economic outlook for the US and the State is for continued growth with growth expected to gain momentum in 2011. Recent Congressional action to retain current personal income tax rates and to provide a further extension of unemployment insurance benefits and a payroll tax cut to all workers should provide a further near-term boost to the economy.

Appendix 1: Georgia Economic Report Detail
Personal Income
Nominal personal income has fallen in recent quarters in the US and in Georgia. These declines, measured on a year over year basis, are relatively rare over the last 40 years and are indicative of the severity of the recent recession. However, Georgia has experienced three consecutive quarters of personal income growth through the third quarter of 2010. In addition, wage and salary income has also begun to grow again indicating some improvement in Georgia labor market conditions.

The large job losses that occurred during the recession resulted in the highest unemployment rate on record for Georgia at 10.5% in February 2010. Georgia's unemployment rate has come down from that peak but is still at 10.1% as of November 2010. The unemployment rate tends to be a lagging indicator of economic conditions. Thus, it is possible that the rate will rise as the labor market strengthens and discouraged workers return to the work force.

Labor Markets
Georgia's labor market has gradually swung to growth as net job additions are currently averaging about 2,700 per month. Labor markets are improving across the state. Several metro areas have reached year over year job growth. Other metro areas are still showing net job losses on a year over year basis but these loss are narrowing. A similar pattern is seen when looking at job growth by industry sector. Manufacturing and construction which suffered the greatest percentage job losses during the recession are still showing negative year over year job growth, but percentage decreases in jobs have narrowed sharply for both sectors. Other sectors such as professional and business services and education and health are posting year over year job growth.
Housing Sector
Georgia's housing market shows no signs of significant improvement. Permitting activity appears to have stabilized at a very low level but has not shown signs of turning up. Home prices, as measured by the S&P / Case Shiller home price index had begun to show year over year growth earlier this year but recent months have shown renewed price declines.

The key concern regarding the housing sector is looming foreclosures. Mortgage foreclosure rates continue to build in Georgia and nationally and this could lead to further increases in homes for sale and mounting pressure on home prices. There has been some improvement in mortgage delinquency rates suggesting foreclosure rates may also improve in coming months.

ADJUSTED BASE -- The beginning point for development of the state budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The adjusted base consists of the current fiscal year Annual Operating Budget, less non-recurring expenditures, plus the amount to annualize pay for performance.
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 (DISTILLED SPIRITS) TAX -- A state excise tax per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax per liter of distilled spirits; an excise tax per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax per liter on all alcohol.
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."
AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) An act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. The purpose of the Recovery package is to jump-start the economy to create and save jobs. The Act specifies appropriations for a wide range of federal programs, and increases or extends certain benefits under Medicaid, unemployment compensation, and nutrition assistance programs. The legislation also reduces individual and corporate income tax collections, and makes a variety of other changes to federal tax laws.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET (AOB) -- A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriations Act, by agency and functional budget. The plan details a level of expenditure by object class for a given fiscal year and must be approved by OPB before taking effect.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENT -- Revisions to the annual operating budget, which must be submitted to

OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of funds from one activity/ function to another.
APPROPRIATION -- An authorization by the General Assembly to a state agency to spend, from public funds, a sum of money not in excess of the sum specified for the purposes in the authorization.
APPROPRIATIONS ACT -- Legislation that has been passed by the General Assembly to authorize expenditure of state, federal and other funds during a given fiscal year. While under consideration, it is called an appropriations bill.
ATTACHED AGENCIES -- Smaller agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for "administrative purposes only" to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. These small agencies operate autonomously but receive funding through the larger agency. Authorities by law cannot directly receive state funds and are attached to budgeted state agencies for any state appropriations that might occur.
ATTRITION -- A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than filling them with new employees.
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. The requirement for outcome based budgeting is provided through the performance and results measures in Prioritized Program Budgeting. The measure mandated an ongoing review of agency continuation budgets and a more detailed review of expenditures at the individual program level. Procedures and requirements for grant awards by state agencies also were established.
BUDGET CLASS -- See Object Class.

BUDGET MESSAGE -- A speech by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor outlines his spending proposals and revenue projections, including recommendations for increasing or decreasing revenues, that are embodied in an accompanying budget document. 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.
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 also 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.

.

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.
FRINGE BENEFITS -- Benefits that are provided to state employees over and above their salaries, as an inducement to employment. These benefits include retirement, health insurance and employer Social Security contributions.
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.
H
HOUSE BUDGET OFFICE -- An agency within the Legislative Branch that serves as budget advisor to the House of Representatives.

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.

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.
LAPSE FACTOR -- A budgeting tool that withholds funds from appropriations, based on anticipated employee turnover and lower employee replacement costs.
LINE-ITEM APPROPRIATION -- An appropriation spelled out in language in the Appropriations Act that authorizes specific expenditures for a state agency. Line-items appropriations may be vetoed by the Governor.
