Revenue Shortfall Reserve

Revenue Shortfall Reserve

The 1976 RevenueShortfallReserve 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.

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 GeorgiaTaxExpenditureReport
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 tax 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 sales tax exemptions that have important consequences on local governments.
This is the third year in which the tax expenditure report has been produced. The report for FY 2012 provided estimates for FY 2010 to FY 2012 and the FY 2013 report provided estimates for FY 2011 to FY 2013. The current report is for FY 2012 to FY 2014. In most cases the estimates are consistent with the estimates established in the earlier reports. However, some estimates differ significantly from that presented in the earlier reports. 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 beverage tax, cigar and cigarette excise tax, financial institutions special state occupation tax, special assessment of forest land conservation use property, and title fee for motor vehicles. For each type of expenditure item, a cost has been calculated for FY 2012, FY 2013 and FY 2014.
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 2012, FY 2013 and FY 2014. An appendix includes a summary of expired/expiring tax expenditures, a table of sales and use tax expenditures by type, and distributional tables for selected state individual income tax deductions and exemptions.
A copy of the full report may be accessed on the web site of the Office of Planning and Budget at opb.georgia.gov.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture administers a DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfibAiglirtiiceus,ltaunredOrganization variety of programs which all share the goals of maintaining the state's viable farm industry and protecting the consuming public. These multifaceted programs affect all Georgians as well as countless others throughout the United States and the world, wherever Georgia agribusiness products are consumed.
PLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION
The role of the Plant Industry Division is to administer and enforce federal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, organic agriculture, treated timber, boll weevil eradication and other related environmental protection programs. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to guarantee that those commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled.
ANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION
Animal agriculture is the largest sector of agriculture, contributing over $6.4 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.

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,

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

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 by enhancing the capacity of local governments and communities to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their residents.
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,rtRmesepnotnosfibCiolimtiems,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 introduced standard and wellness versions of the HMO, HRA, and HDHP plans. Wellness plans 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

Department of Corrections
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Georgia Department of Corrections (DOC) DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfibCiolirtrieecs,tiaonndsOrganization 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 (33): 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 (11): 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 (0): 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 (16): 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. Two 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.

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,rtRmesepnotnosfibEdiliuticeast,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 197 state funded local education agencies in the state (180 school systems and 17 state special charter schools) operating more than 2,275 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 and mathematics. These standards were adopted by the Department of Education for all of Georgia's K-12 public schools and 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 three territories 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 $92.1 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 content areas, foreign language, business electives and

Advanced Placement. State funding has successfully supported over 17,000 course enrollments for the 2011-2012 school year.
SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS
The Department administers funds and provides technical assistance for school improvement. Georgia requested a "stay-put" flexibility waiver from the U.S. Department of Education for AYP determination for the 2011-2012 school year as work continues on the development of the Georgia College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). The CCRPI provides a more indepth analysis of student performance and progress than the current AYP determination. The School Improvement program continues to offer 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, Migrant Education, McKinney-Vento Homeless Education, Rural Education, Neglected and Delinquent Education, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Striving Reader Comprehensive Literacy, Teacher and Leader Effectiveness, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Pupil Transportation, Equalization, and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education.

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), Georgia's Social Security Program, 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 1949, 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, Department of Administrative Services Commissioner, and 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), and who do not

These appointments are for fouryear terms.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM (PSERS)
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)
GMPF provides retirement allowances and other benefits for the Georgia National Guard. A member becomes eligible for benefits upon attainment of age 60 with 20 or more years of creditable service (including at least 15 years of service as a member of the National Guard), having served at least 10 consecutive years as a member of the National Guard immediately prior to discharge, and having received an honorable discharge.
PEACHSTATE RESERVES

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 an approximate $23.6 billion asset and comprises 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. This includes a statewide network of county and district offices supplied with staff and equipment necessary for the prevention and suppression of over 6,618 annual forest fires (10 year average). 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 through 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 educate the public about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment of Georgia through Utilization and Marketing. This promotes Georgia forest products both nationally and internationally and is presently implementing the Carbon Registry to encourage the offsetting of carbonrich pollutants through the purchase of credits in forested land. Fifty-five Georgia counties are dependent on forestry activities, and while the number of traditional saw mills has declined, total productivity remains strong. The Forestry Commission meets requests for supporting data on local

forest inventory data from entrepreneurs that have most recently helped in the establishment and/or announcement of 22 new Bioenergy facilities in our State.
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. Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the commission's Tree Improvement and Tree Seedling Nursery programs. Through these programs, the commission intensively manages the State's Byromville seed orchard, here superior tree seedlings are developed, nurtured, and sold to the public for the expansion and sustainability of Georgia's 24 million acres of forested lands. Genetic tree improvement activities at the Flint and Arrowhead Breeding Centers have an added economic impact of $113,000,000 for Georgia's forest landowners and ensure the sustainability of a growing forest industry for Georgia.

The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance is CRoolmesm,RisessiopnoenrsiobfilIintiseusr,aanncdeOrganization accountable for upholding state laws regulating insurance, small loans, fire safety, and manufactured housing. The department organizes its efforts in fulfilling these responsibilities around six divisions.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
The Program Administration Division provides management, policy direction, enforcement, and administrative support for the Department's programs which regulate companies and protect consumers in the areas of insurance, industrial loans, fire safety, manufactured housing, arson investigations, building inspections, and hazardous materials handling and storage. The division's activities include accounting, budgetary, personnel, and purchasing duties for all agency divisions. Additionally, the division oversees the establishment and implementation of department policies and procedures.
INSURANCE REGULATION
The Insurance Regulation Division is responsible for administering Georgia insurance laws and regulations. Staff members process applications for insurance companies to conduct business in the state and insurance agent license applications. The division is also responsible for oversight of insurance companies (including approving rates, as well as life, health, property, and casualty policy forms), and regulating group self-insurance funds.

ENFORCEMENT
The Enforcement Division is responsible for advising the Department on legal issues related to Georgia's insurance, safety, fire, and industrial loan laws and regulations.

INDUSTRIAL LOAN REGULATION
The Industrial Loan Regulation Division administers the Georgia Industrial Loan Act by performing examinations of all accounts held by industrial loan companies (small loan companies making loans of $3,000 or less) licensed to do business in Georgia and accounting for all fees and taxes payable by such companies. Additionally, division staff members process applications for new industrial loan company licenses and investigate consumer complaints.
FIRE SAFETY

The programs enforce the safety standards to operate, handle, and/or manufacturer boilers, elevators, amusement rides, hazardous materials, and manufactured housing. Additionally, the Fire Safety division ensures buildings meet the fire code requirements through building plan reviews. Furthermore, fires are investigated to assist

Department of Juvenile Justice

Department of Juvenile Justice
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created by DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfibJuilviteiensil,eanJudsOticrgeanization the General Assembly in its 1992 session. The Department's role is twofold:
Provide for the supervision, detention, and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders 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 four programs: Community Services, Secure Detention, Secure Commitment, and Administration. DJJ provides its services to nearly 37,000 youth every year and maintains a daily population of about 14,400. 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 dual accreditation from both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and Correctional Education Association (CEA) 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.

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 districts 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.

These programs are responsible for ensuring conditions that protect the health and well being of Georgia citizens by preparing for and responding to disasters, conducting surveillance and outbreak investigations, detecting and preventing environmental hazards, and providing disease control and prevention services.

Health Promotion
Health Promotion functions include Maternal and Child Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, the Georgia Volunteer Health Care Program, and the Office of Health Equity. These programs are responsible for improving the health of Georgians by promoting healthy lifestyles, expanding access to low cost health care for uninsured individuals, and working to reduce health inequities throughout the state.
ATTACHED AGENCIES
There are two Commissions that are administratively attached to the Department.
The Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund Commission works to improve the quality of life of Georgians with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries by distributing grant funds.

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, 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 three programs: Administration, Facility Protection, and Utilities Regulation.
FACILITY 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, and telecommunication providers serve the state with affordable rates and quality service.
Even though the segments of the regulated industries have been opened to competition, the PSC remains responsible for monitoring the rates and service standards of electric, 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, telecommunications network planning, generation planning, and construction, including nuclear construction; arbitrate complaints among competitors; provide consumer protection and education; and certify competitive natural gas and telecommunications providers.
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,SRoeilspanodnsWibaitlietrieCso,annsderOvargtiaonnizCaotmionmission (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

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 rehabilitation, 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 TReoalechs,eRressRpeotinresimbielintiteSs,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 but not employees of the Board of Regents) appointed by the Governor One school administrator (an active member of TRS but not an employee of the Board of Regents) appointed by the Governor One Board of Regents employee (an active member of TRS) appointed by the Board of Regents

One trustee (an active member of TRS but not an employee of the Board of Regents) appointed by the Governor
One trustee appointed by the Governor One retired TRS member elected by the trustees One Georgia citizen (who is not a TRS member and
is 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.

Technical College System of Georgia

Technical College System of Georgia
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Quality Basic Education Act (QBE) of 1985 created a TReoclehsn,iRcaelsCpoolnlesigbeiliStyiesste,amndofOGrgeoanrgiziaation 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 at Bainbridge College.
TCSG offers more than 600 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 167,000 students annually and produce about 34,000 graduates each year.
ADULT LITERACY
The Adult Education 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
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Veterans Service serves more than DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiVbeiltiteireasn,asnSderOvircgeanization 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

Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

SRtoaltees,BRoeasrpdoonfsWiboilritkieerss, 'aCnodmOpregnansaiztiaotnion
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 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.

Note on Expenditure Projections:
Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014 are based on the Governor's Budget Recommendations for those years. Projections for Fiscal Years 2015 to 2018 are based on agency case load growth and an inflation factor. Debt Service projections for FY 2015 to FY 2017 are from the FY 2012 Debt Management Plan and have been held constant for FY 2018. There are no provisions to restore agency reductions made in Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014 in future years. For Fiscal Years 2015 to 2018 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.

Georgia Economic Report

Georgia Economic Report

At GeorgiaEconomicReport the start of 2013, the US economic recovery has been in place for three and one half years. US GDP growth has been slow to moderate for much of that period. A variety of factors have weighed on growth over the recovery. First, household debt as a percent of income had risen sharply prior to the recession. With home values falling and stock markets down, households have spent much of the recession and recovery period bringing debt burdens down. This, in turn, has restrained household spending growth. Second, housing has typically been a driver of economic recovery. However, imbalances in housing markets and housing finance were at the core of the recession and it has taken a considerable time for most of these imbalances to be corrected. Consequently, housing has not provided the boost to economic growth that has been seen in other economic recoveries. Third, fallout from the European debt crisis has led to weak economic conditions across much of Europe. This, in turn, has resulted in a slowdown in US export growth which had been an early driver of the recovery.
A wide range of economic indicators show that the economic recovery is progressing. Total US non-farm employment fell by 8.8 million jobs from the peak prior to the recession to the bottom in February of 2010. Since that low, just over 4.6 million jobs have been added to US payrolls. Thus, a little over half of the job loss has been recovered. While that is a significant improvement, total employment remains well below the peak prior to the recession. As of November, year over year growth in nonfarm employment equaled 1.4%. The unemployment rate has also fallen. The US rate as of November 2012 is 7.7%, down from a peak of 10.0% in October 2009 and down a full percentage point from November 2011. Again, this represents significant improvement but leaves the unemployment rate well above its range in the years immediately prior to the recession.
Consumer spending is growing modestly. Total retail sales grew 3.7% in November over the prior November. This is well down from growth rates achieved throughout 2011 when year over year growth in retail sales peaked at 9.2% in June. A bright spot in spending has been auto sales. 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 and hit 15.5 million units in November on an annualized basis. Consumer spending still faces headwinds. Unemployment remains high and income growth is modest. Household wealth is still below its peak prior to the recession. Credit availability remains tight for households with less than pristine credit records. These factors indicate that consumer spending is likely to continue to grow more slowly than in a typical recovery and expansion cycle.
Business investment initially had been a strong source of growth during the recovery. Similarly, increases in exports had provided a lift to the US economy for much of the recovery. However, business investment has weakened in recent quarters as businesses took note of the fiscal cliff

looming at the end of 2012. Growth in business investment in software and equipment turned negative in the 3rd quarter of 2012 as businesses became more cautious. Export growth has also turned negative as weak global demand has fed through to export performance. This is also reflected in manufacturing activity. The Institute of Supply Management's Index of manufacturing activity weakened through much of 2012. Readings of this index above the 50 level indicate that the manufacturing sector is expanding while readings below 50 indicate the sector is contracting. The index hit a peak near 60 during early 2011 and has trended down since. The latest reading for December is 50.7 indicating the sector is barely expanding.
After an extended period of weakness, housing has become a small net positive for the national economy. Various measures of home prices are moving higher. The S&P Case Shiller index for 20 metro areas across the US is up 4.3% year over year as of October. Sales of new homes and existing homes are also trending up and months of inventory for sale of new and existing homes are back in line with levels prior to the housing bust. The housing market still faces some headwinds; foreclosure and delinquency rates are still high, many homeowners are still underwater on mortgages, and mortgage credit conditions are still tight. However, investor demand is making up for these weaknesses and is helping housing become a growth driver for the economy.
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. Georgia's employment situation has improved markedly in the last year. Non-farm employment grew by just over 64,000 jobs from November 2011 to November 2012. This equates to a 1.7% increase in employment which compares to the 1.4% increase in US non-farm employment over the same period. The Georgia unemployment rate is 8.5% as of November; this is higher than the US rate of 7.7% for the same month. Georgia's unemployment rate has consistently exceeded that of the US during this business cycle.
Employment growth is positive for industry sectors such as professional and business services, manufacturing, education and health, and trade, transportation and utilities. Construction and government employment are still a small drag on employment. Georgia's housing sector is beginning to show signs of recovery. The S&P Case Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area increased by 4.9% as of October on a year over year basis. Residential construction permits are up over 20% from the prior year as of October.
Georgia tax revenue growth in FY 2012 was modest. Total tax revenue grew by 4.4% and General Fund revenues grew by 4.3%. Individual income tax revenues, the single largest component grew by 6.3%. However, corporate income tax revenues fell by 11.9%. Modest revenue growth has continued in FY 2013. Department of Revenue has reported tax revenue growth of 4.9% year-to-date through December 2012.

Georgia Economic Report

The national and Georgia economies are expected to continue to grow at a relatively slow pace early in 2013 and then gradually accelerate through the rest of the year and into 2014. The first quarter of 2013, in particular, will face headwinds from the reinstatement of the 2% Social Security tax and on-going negotiations over the federal budget imbalances and federal debt ceiling. Assuming these issues are resolved, the recovery should gain strength, especially in the second half of the calendar year. However, the risks to this outlook are high. The biggest single threat is an inability on the part of US leaders to resolve the debt ceiling and

budget negotiations without disrupting business and investor confidence. The fiscal cliff weighed on growth in the second half of 2012. The legislation passed in early 2013 prevented income tax rates from going up for most taxpayers in 2013 but merely postponed planned spending cuts for two months and did nothing about raising the federal debt limit nor bringing the long-term federal budget outlook into balance. This sets the stage for another round of contentious negotiations and does little to remove the uncertainty regarding US policy that has weighed on business investment and hiring.

Georgia Economic Indicators
Personal Income
Nominal personal income has been growing over the prior quarter since late 2009. Similarly, wage and salary income has been growing over this period with the exception of two quarters. Growth has been weak in the two most recent quarters. Overall, personal income growth in Georgia has been modest relative to historical growth rates. This reflects the overall modest pace of economic growth in the US and in Georgia.

Labor Markets
Georgia's labor market gained traction during 2012. Over the 12 months ending in November, non-farm employment in Georgia increased by 64,200 jobs. This equaled 1.7% year over year growth and exceeded the growth rate for US non-farm employment over the same period of 1.3%. On a three month moving average basis, Georgia employment is growing by 5,370 jobs per month as of November. Employment growth across industry sectors continued to improve. Sectors such as professional and business services, construction, education and health, and trade, transportation, and utilities added jobs over the year. Employment in construction and government is still down on a year over year basis. Most Georgia metro areas are also seeing net job growth, including the Atlanta metro area. Dalton, Columbus, Augusta and Warner Robins are metro areas still experiencing net job losses on a year over year basis as of November.

The large job losses that occurred during the recession resulted in peak unemployment rates of 10.5% for several months during the last three years. The current rate has fallen considerably from its peak but is still elevated at 8.5% as of November. This is above the US unemployment rate of 7.7% as of November. While the unemployment rate is still high, the details of the unemployment data are more positive. The labor force is growing indicating discouraged workers are returning to the workforce. The number of unemployed is falling and the number of those reporting they are employed is growing at a faster rate than the nonfarm employment data.
Housing Sector Georgia's housing market is showing signs of
improvement. Residential building permits issued have begun to increase after an extended period of stagnation at very low levels. Home prices, as measured by the S&P / Case Shiller home price index, for the Atlanta metro area are up on a year over year basis as of October. Also, seasonally adjusted prices in the metro area are increasing over the prior month on a sustained basis.

A
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 monthly based on the plan. Once a monthly 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. Most authorities generate revenue and need to operate without the strict regiment of rules that confine most departments of government. 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.

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

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 AND RESEARCH 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.
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX -- The tax is based upon an individual's federal adjusted gross income with specific adjustments as provided by state law.
INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX -- Tax based on premiums on persons, property, or risks in Georgia written by insurance companies conducting business in the state.
INTER-AGENCY TRANSFERS -- A transfer of funds between state departments, either in an Appropriations Act or by the State Office of Planning and Budget pursuant to a legislative authorization.
L
LAPSE -- The automatic termination of an appropriation. Since most appropriations are made for a single fiscal year, any unexpended or unencumbered fund balances at the end of the fiscal year lapse into the state's general treasury, unless otherwise provided by law. There are two kinds of lapses. Non-allotted lapses occur when appropriations are never allotted to a state agency for expenditure and automatically revert to the state treasury on June 30 of each year. Audited lapses occur when budgeted funds are allotted to a state agency for expenditure but are not spent. These unspent funds are identified and lapsed by the State Auditor in the annual audit of each state agency.
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.

These funds are included in the Governor's Revenue Estimate and are a part of the State's Budget Fund for accounting purposes.
LUMP SUM -- A single appropriation for a specific purpose that does not specify a breakdown by object class expenditure.
M
MATCHING FUNDS -- A type of federal or state grant that requires the government or agency receiving the grant to commit funding for a certain percentage of costs to be eligible for it.
MIDTERM ADJUSTMENT -- Additional appropriations to the State Board of Education in an Amended or Supplementary Budget to fund State Quality Basic Education (QBE) requirements for increased enrollment. Initial QBE funding cannot fully and accurately anticipate future enrollment. Midterm adjustments in funding are based on full-time equivalent enrollment counts during the fall quarter.
MIDYEAR ADJUSTMENT RESERVE -- A reserve of funds that is set aside each year from prior fiscal year surplus funds to provide additional spending for state agencies in an Amended or Supplementary Budget. The reserve totals 1% net revenue collections, to the extent that surplus funds are available. It is established prior to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve, which is explained elsewhere.
MOTOR FUEL RESERVES -- If actual motor fuel tax collections exceed the estimate, these funds are set-aside in a reserve and are appropriated to the State Department of Transportation in a subsequent Appropriations Act.
MOTOR FUEL TAX FUNDS -- All motor fuel revenue collections are allocated for public highway and bridge construction or maintenance by provisions of the State Constitution. These funds are included in the Governor's Revenue Estimate and are a part of the State's Budget Fund for accounting purposes. There is an additional tax of the retail sales price. This tax is based upon an indexed retail sales price that is converted to a cent per gallon rate and is collected at the time of sale by the licensed distributor.
MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE TAX -- Collected for the title registration and license tags of motor vehicles, trailers, and truck tractors.

N
NON-APPROPRIATED FUNDS -- Monies received or spent that are not contemplated by an Appropriations Act. These funds must be amended into an agency's budget through a request to the Office of Planning and Budget.
O
OBJECT CLASS -- A grouping of similar expenditure items that form the basis of appropriations and records of expenditure. Establishment of budget object classes and changes are coordinated with the State Auditor's Chart of Accounts to ensure consistency in statewide financial reports. Common object classes are those that are shared by almost all agencies, including personal services, regular operating expenses, travel, motor vehicle purchases, postage, equipment, computer charges, real estate rentals and telecommunications. Unique object classes are those that apply to only one or a few agencies, such as public library materials and driver's license processing.
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET (OPB) -- A part of the Office of the Governor with the responsibility of providing the Governor with assistance in the development and management of the state budget. The Governor is the Director of the Budget.
ORIGINAL APPROPRIATION -- The first budget passed that sets appropriations for all of state government for the next full year after a legislative session. The budget is generally amended in midyear to more accurately reflect current needs of state agencies.
OTHER FUNDS -- Funds received by state agencies and institutions for services performed such as tuition fees paid by students to colleges, universities and technical colleges and fees collected by state parks.
