Revenue Shortfall Reserve

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.

1) All other Medicaid benefit expenditures do not include inpatient hospital services. 2) Attached agency to the Department of Public Health. 3) Budget and expenditure data shown above is presented as submitted to the Office of Planning and Budget by state agencies.

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

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. The Fiscal Research Center of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University has prepared this report. Its purpose 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 2009.
The reliability of estimates is categorized into three classes, A, B, and C. Class A estimates consist of data from U.S. statistical agencies or from the Georgia Department of Revenue. Estimates with a Class A status are typically those estimates that are based on Class A data. Class B estimates may come from a Class A source, such as the Economic Census, but may be available only from a national data set, or the data may refer to multiple activities. In these cases, the data is adjusted to meet the specific value of the activity in Georgia. This adjustment causes the estimate to be given Class B status, even though it is based on Class A data. Class C estimates are assumed to provide reasonable estimates based on the best data available. For some items, reliable information is unavailable and no expenditure estimate is provided.
In addition to state estimates, this report also attempts, if possible, to assess effects on local revenues. There are numerous state exemptions that have important consequences on local governments.
This is the second year in which the tax expenditure report has been produced. The report for FY 2012 provided estimates for FY 2010 to FY 2012. The current report is for FY 2011 to FY 2013. In most cases the estimates are consistent with the estimates established in the first report. However, some estimates differ significantly from that presented in the FY 2012 report. This is primarily the result of new information being available and is noted as required.
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 2011, FY 2012 and FY 2013.
The full report includes a summary table of all expenditure items under each tax category. This is followed by an overview of each type of tax, followed by a detailed review of each specific exemption. Included in the review is the statutory basis of the exemption, the effective date of implementation, if known, estimated reliability class, and a description of the exemption. Also incorporated is a summary table that lists expenditure cost estimates for FY 2011, FY 2012 and FY 2013.
A copy of the full report may be accessed on the web site of the Office of Planning and Budget at opb.georgia.gov.

Department of Community Affairs

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 Housing Choice Voucher 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,

technical assistance, quality growth audits, special issue workshops, and how-to toolkits.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
Regional Services staff maintains partnerships with local, regional, state and federal organizations and agencies, and facilitates community issue identification, goal development, and implementation of best practices. This TeamGeorgia approach brings advanced technical support to local governments facing critical growth and development issues. Regional field teams coordinate self-improvement initiatives such as the Main Street, Better Home Town, and Georgia Academy for Economic Development. The agency integrates the importance of sound environmental management with the overall health and development of Georgia's communities through such programs as Keep Georgia Beautiful, Solid Waste and Recycling, and WaterFirst. 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 Office of Rural Development works closely with the Governor's Rural Development Council to identify issues and develop policy to support rural initiatives in job creation and economic vitality for rural Georgia. Tied closely to this work are the Appalachian Regional Commission, the OneGeorgia Rural Policy Center and the OneGeorgia Authority, staffed by DCA Rural Development team members.
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

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.
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. Two years later HB 214 transitioned the Division of Public Health and the Office of Health Improvement from DCH to a newly created Department of Public Health.
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 nine-person board appointed by the Governor has policymaking authority for DCH.
The Department has three major divisions: Medicaid, State Health Benefit Plan, and Healthcare Facility Regulation.
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 1.5 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-forservice 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 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. Using intergovernmental transfers and federal matching funds, the ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians.
STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN
The Division of State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) manages the health plan which provides health insurance coverage to nearly 700,000 state employees, school system employees, retirees, and their dependents. The SHBP offers

members several coverage options managed by two statewide vendors, including a health maintenance organization (HMO), Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), and standard and premier Medicare Advantage Plans. In January 2012, SHBP will debut standard and wellness versions of the HMO, HRA, and HDHP plans. Wellness plans will provide members with lower premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs in exchange for their active engagement in wellness activities to maintain or improve their health.
FACILITY REGULATON
The Division of Healthcare Facility Regulation inspects, monitors, licenses, registers, and certifies a variety of health and long-term care programs to ensure that facilities operate at acceptable levels, as mandated by state statutes and by rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Community Health.
ADMINISTRATION
The Division includes the Office of General Counsel, which provides legal assistance to the department and administers the Certificate of Need (CON) process; the Office

of the Inspector General; Operations; Information Technology; Communications; and Financial Management.
ATTACHED AGENCIES
DCH has two administratively attached Boards.
The Georgia Composite Medical Board licenses physicians and other health care practitioners and enforces the Medical Practice Act.
The Georgia Board for Physician Workforce provides financial aid to medical schools and residency training programs. In 2011, HB 509 transferred the programs of the former State Medical Education Board to the board. These programs offer medical school scholarships and physician loan repayment in exchange for practice in rural and underserved areas.

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 (31): 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, and 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 (13): 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 (3): 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. Two new private prisons will begin operations in FY 2012 in Baldwin and Jenkins counties. 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.

Department of Education

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 as needing improvement.
There are 193 state funded local education agencies in the state (180 school systems and 13 state special charter schools) 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.
CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION & ASSESSMENT
The Department of Education is transitioning from the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) to the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) for the subject areas of English/language arts, science, history/social studies, technical subjects, and mathematics. These standards were adopted by the Department of Education for all of Georgia's K-12 public schools and will be implemented for the 2012-2013 school year.
CCGPS align with college and career readiness standards that will help prepare Georgia's students with the knowledge and skills they need in education and training after high

school. The standards are internationally benchmarked and will help ensure that Georgia's students are globally competitive. The CCGPS are consistent with rigorous high school diploma requirements for all students.
The Common Core State Standards initiative is a stateled effort coordinated by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Currently, 45 states and one territory have adopted the Common Core State Standards, which creates a national benchmark for standards and curriculum.
In addition to providing daily instruction, the department also administers a number of programs for students in need of additional services. These include a program for handicapped preschool children, tuition for the multi-handicapped, and funding for the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS). Nearly 20,700 students are being served through these grants totaling $93.5 million.
In an effort to expand educational opportunities for all students in Georgia, the department offers a variety of digital experiences through Georgia Virtual Learning. These experiences include the opportunity to take courses through the Georgia Virtual School, recover credit through Georgia Credit Recovery, and access aligned digital content through a blended learning model. All courses and content provided through Georgia Virtual Learning are aligned to the Georgia Performance Standards and Common Core in the core

SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS
The Department administers funds and provides technical assistance for school improvement. School Improvement Specialists are assigned to schools based on the school's Needs Improvement (NI) status. Schools are required to meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. Schools are identified for NI status if they do not meet AYP for two consecutive years in the same subject area. The School Improvement program offers a wide array of services ranging from professional learning, data analysis, planning and

organization, and instructional best practices for schools not meeting standards.
The Department of Education also provides funding and support for many state and federal grant programs including Title I Part A College and Career Ready, Migrant Education, McKinney-Vento Homeless Education, Rural Education, Neglected and Delinquent Education, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Teacher and Leader Effectiveness, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Pupil Transportation, Equalization, and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education.

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

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

By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement ERmolepslo,Ryeeesps'oRnestiibreilmitieens,taSnydstOemrgaonfiGzaetoiorgnia System (ERS) administers eight 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), and PeachState Reserves.
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 the State Treasurer).
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.

PSERS offers a supplemental retirement plan to certain public school employees not covered by TRS. These employees include bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians. The PSERS Board of Trustees consists of the

seven ERS trustees plus two additional members appointed by the Governor for four-year terms.
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.

Department of Juvenile Justice
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created by DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiJbuilviteiensil,eaJnudstOicreganization 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 41,000 youth every year and maintains a daily population of about 15,800. 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 14,000 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 800 of the department's 3,600 staff members are part of the Community Supervision program. Most of these are Juvenile Probation and Parole Specialists, whose

Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Labor is empowered to administer DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiLbailbitoiers,andOrganization federal labor and vocational rehabilitation 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's core businesses are: economic stability; employment, employability, and training assistance; medical and occupational rehabilitation; and workplace safety.
ECONOMIC STABILITY
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.
Disability Adjudication Services determines eligibility for various entitlement programs administered by the Social Security Administration including Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Income for Georgia citizens. They also function to help ensure that individuals who are no longer eligible to receive these services discontinue receiving benefits.
The Department also administers Georgia laws regulating the employment of children.
EMPLOYMENT, EMPLOYABILITY, AND TRAINING ASSISTANCE
In 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 one-stop system delivers these 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 through the Worker Opportunities Tax Credit Act.
One of the Department's primary responsibilities is the administration of the public employment service through a statewide network of offices. The Department provides an array of services, including: 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 Division of Rehabilitation Services provides opportunities for work and personal independence for Georgians with disabilities. In pursuit of this goal, the division administers several programs: 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; Vocational

State Board of Pardons and Paroles

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 is responsible for the community supervision of offenders who have been granted the privilege of parole. Field parole officers, who work in 46 offices throughout the state, 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.
Operations Support units conduct the internal operations of the agency including budget, staff training, personnel, quality assurance audits, research, evaluation and technology, internal affairs, and victim 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
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 25 technical colleges, 31 branch campuses, and seven technical education centers. In addition, there is a technical education division housed within a University System of Georgia college.
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 189,000 students annually and produce about 35,000 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 virtually every technology required by Georgia's manufacturing and service sectors.

Department of Veterans Service

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

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.

Revenue Estimates and Projections are developed by the State Economist at Georgia State University.

Note on Expenditure Projections:
Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 are based on the Governor's Budget Recommendations for those years. Projections for Fiscal Years 2014 to 2017 are based on agency case load growth and an inflation factor. Debt Service projections for FY 2014 and FY 2015 are from the FY 2011 Debt Management Plan and have been held constant for FY 2016 and FY 2017. There are no provisions to restore agency reductions made in Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 in future years. For Fiscal Years 2014 to 2017 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 2013

Georgia Economic Report

Georgia Economic Report

ort Georgia Economic Report
As 2011 nears a close, US economic growth is picking up. The US economy has been in recovery since mid-2009. Growth has been slow to moderate for much of that period. Early in 2011, growth almost ground to a halt due to high oil prices, the disruption of global manufacturing due to the Japan disaster and the beginnings of financial market turmoil due to the European debt crisis. GDP growth slowed to less than 1% in the first quarter but has gradually gained steam through the year. Third quarter GDP growth reached 1.8% and fourth quarter growth is tracking above that pace.
A wide range of economic indicators show that the economic recovery is intact. Total US non-farm employment hit a bottom in February of 2010. Since that time, almost 2.5 million jobs have been added to US payrolls. While that is a significant improvement, total employment remains well below the peak prior to the recession. The unemployment rate has also fallen. The US rate as of November 2011 is 8.6%, down from a peak of 10.1% in October 2009. Again, this represents significant improvement but leaves the unemployment rate well above its range in the years prior to the recession.
Consumer spending has grown moderately as well. Total retail sales grew 6.75% in November over the prior November. Auto sales had averaged over 16 million units per year prior to the recession but fell to an annualized sales rate below 10 million units during parts of 2008 and 2009. Sales have improved significantly from that trough to over 12 million units on an annualized basis. Consumer spending still faces headwinds. Unemployment remains high. Household wealth is still $9 trillion below its peak prior to the recession. Credit availability is tighter for households with less than pristine credit records. These factors indicate that consumer spending will grow more slowly than in a typical recovery and expansion cycle.
Business investment has been a strong source of growth during the recovery. Investment in software and equipment is more than 30% above its trough during the recession and is above its pre-recession peak. Similarly, increases in exports have provided a lift to the US economy. Exports have grown by over 50% from their trough during the recession and are also above their pre-recession peak. This is also reflected in manufacturing activity. The Institute of Supply Management's Index of manufacturing activity has been above the 50 level every month since August of 2009. Readings of this index above the 50 level indicate that the manufacturing sector is expanding. However, new orders growth has weakened in recent months so that manufacturing growth may moderate.
Housing remains a key area of weakness in the national economy. Home prices are still falling and mortgage foreclosure and delinquency rates are still high. Sales of existing and new homes remain close to the low levels hit during the worst of the recession. With low prices and low

mortgage rates, housing would appear poised for a quick turnaround. However, credit availability is tight. Many homeowners are trapped underwater with the balance on their current mortgage higher than the current resale value. In addition, job conditions although improved, are still somewhat weak. This makes it likely that a turnaround in housing is still some distance in the future.
Georgia's economy generally follows the overall trends of the US economy, although it tends to grow more quickly during expansions and fall further during recessions. At this time Georgia's economic recovery has lagged that of the US. The Georgia unemployment rate is 9.9% as of November, this compares to the 8.6% rate for the US. Georgia's 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. Georgia is still experiencing year over year job decreases. The Georgia housing market has also been severely hit by the recession with little sign of improvement. Mortgage foreclosure rates and delinquency rates are above the US average and housing prices have fallen more rapidly in Georgia in recent months compared to broader regions.
Georgia economic conditions are improving. Several industry sectors have started to grow employment including education and health and professional and business services. Other sectors such as construction are still shedding jobs but at a slower rate indicating they are near a trough. Similarly, several metro areas across the state have seen year over year job growth. However, the pace of improvement is slow and the recovery still tenuous.
Georgia tax revenues fell sharply during the recession but grew quickly in FY 2011. Overall tax revenues grew 7.0% and General Fund revenues grew 8.8%. Individual income tax revenues, the single largest component grew by 9.2%. Revenue growth has continued in FY 2012. Department of Revenue has reported tax revenue growth of 6.8% year-todate through November 2011.
The national and Georgia economies are expected to grow relatively slowly early in 2012 and then gradually accelerate through the rest of the year and into 2013. This should result in moderate revenue growth through the rest of FY 2012 and into FY 2013. However, the risks to this outlook are high. The biggest single threat is fallout from the European debt crisis. Europe is likely already in recession and this will likely weigh on exports to that region. The impact on financial markets could be more critical, especially if there are unstructured debt defaults or countries exit the European Monetary Union. China's economy is also slowing so the US economy could be battling a global slowdown. In addition fiscal policies in the US remain uncertain. It is expected that the US economy can weather these economic challenges, but each poses a risk to continued economic recovery.

Georgia Economic Indicators
Personal Income
Nominal personal income has been growing over the prior quarter since late 2009. Wage and salary income has been growing since the first quarter of 2010. Growth has weakened in the two most recent quarters and total personal income declined slightly in the third quarter of 2011. Wage and salary income posted a small increase in the quarter. This slowdown in growth is consistent with the slowdown in nonfarm employment growth seen during the late summer.

Labor Markets
Georgia's labor market has struggled during 2011. Averaged over three months, Georgia non-farm employment is growing by 1,700 per month. For much of the year, monthly changes in the number of jobs has been negative. Private employment is growing. On a year over year basis, private employment expanded but net job losses in the government sector outweighed private employment growth. On a year over year basis, employment is growing in several industry sectors and several metro areas. Job losses are concentrated in the construction, finance and government sectors. Other sectors such as professional and business services and education and health are posting year over year job growth. In addition, overall employment has grown in the last two months (October and November).

The large job losses that occurred during the recession resulted in the peak unemployment rates of 10.4% for periods during the last three years. The current rate has fallen back below 10.0% at 9.9%, but is still well above the US rate of 8.6%. Underlying the rate are some positive trends. The labor force is growing indicating some discouraged workers are returning to the workforce. The number of unemployed is falling and the number of those reporting they are employed is growing consistently.

Housing Sector
Georgia's housing market shows no signs of significant improvement. Permitting activity has been stagnant at very low levels for almost three full years. Home prices, as measured by the S&P / Case Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area are showing year over year declines. Moreover, recent price data indicate that price declines have accelerated in the Atlanta metro area.

A key concern regarding the housing sector is on-going foreclosures. Mortgage foreclosure rates in Georgia have come down from their peak but are still elevated compared to the US rate and to pre-recession rates. Sales of foreclosed properties tend to push home values lower.

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 the Office of Planning and Budget 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.

Acknowledgements
The FY 2013 Budget Report reflects Governor Deal's commitment to advancing this state forward after several difficult economic years for both Georgia and its citizens. The process has been guided by the state's commitment to conservative budgetary policies that provide for the continued fiscal health of the state while also insuring that critical priorities in areas such as education, public safety and needed support services can be met.
Even in the best of times, competition for available resources is intense and choices must be made. Today's fiscal climate makes the decision process even more difficult. It is no longer a choice of what we must have and what we would like to have. It is often a choice between funding activities of similar value to our state. The development of the Governor's budget proposal for Amended FY 2012 and FY 2013 is made possible by the hard work, expertise, professionalism, and dedication of state agency staff, the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB), and the Office of the Governor. The staff of OPB extends our gratitude to all for assisting us in this effort.
