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.

Georgia is fortunate to have many dedicated, hard working, and talented employees working for the State and in its schools. It is important to recognize the contributions of these individuals and ensure that the state retains its best and brightest employees while remaining competitive in recruiting exceptional new talent to careers in public service. The FY 2015 budget, therefore, includes funds for Executive, Judicial, and Legislative agencies equivalent to one percent of personal services to be used for merit based pay increases for high performing current employees, salary adjustments needed to address retention in strategic job classifications, or to increase salaries to recruit skilled new employees. The budget also includes additional funding for resident instruction for the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to enable the University System to remain competitive in attracting the highest quality faculty for Georgia's institutions of higher learning. Finally, the FY 2015 budget includes a recommendation to substantially offset the austerity reduction in the Quality Basic Education funding formula in order to provide much needed additional funds to local education authorities. Georgia's teachers work tirelessly to ensure that our students are prepared for a lifetime of learning and growing. Teachers must be provided the support and resources necessary for this important job, and an investment in our teachers is a direct investment in our future. The additional funds in the FY 2015 budget will enable the State, in partnership with local school districts, to restore instructional days, eliminate teacher furloughs, and enhance teacher salaries. School systems will have the resources and flexibility to address the most critical needs of their students and teachers in order to ensure Georgia continues to attract and retain the very best teachers.

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. 40 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 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 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 2011. 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 fourth year in which the tax expenditure report has been produced. The report for FY 2014 provided estimates for FY 2012 to FY 2014. The current report provides estimates for FY 2013 to FY 2015. 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 2013, FY 2014, and FY 2015. 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 2013, FY 2014, and FY 2015. 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.

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 650,000 state employees, school system employees, retirees, and their dependents. The SHBP offers Board of Community Health Attached for Administrative Purposes Only Georgia Board for Physician Workforce Georgia Composite Medical Board Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency Commissioner Executive Assistant Deputy Commissioner Chief of Staff Medicaid State Health Benefit Plan PeachCare for Kids Health Care Facility Regulation Office of Health Information Technology Health Planning Healthcare Facility Licensing Communications and Legislative Affairs General Counsel Information Technology Inspector General Financial Management Georgia Board of Dentistry Georgia State Board of Pharmacy 130 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Department of Community Health Department of Community Health Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization members several coverage options managed by three statewide vendors, including Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA), and standard and premier Medicare Advantage Plans. In January 2014, a wellness vendor will administer action-based HRA incentives that will allow SHBP members and covered spouses to earn additional dollars for their HRA accounts. Wellness dollars will be awarded for activities such as completing a biometric assessment, creating a wellness plan, or participating in wellness coaching. 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. GEORGIA BOARD OF DENTISTRY The Georgia Board of Dentistry licenses dentists and, through the Dental Board's licensure process, the Board ensures that those applying for licensure in this state as a dentist or dental hygienist have acceptable education, training, and personal character to safely practice in Georgia. In carrying out its regulatory functions, the Board sets and defines standards to draw the line between safe and dangerous dental practices. GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY The Georgia State Board of Pharmacy is responsible for the regulation of pharmacists and pharmacies in Georgia. The Board reviews applications, administers examinations, licenses qualified applicants, and regulates the practice of licenses throughout the state. ATTACHED AGENCIES DCH has three 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. The Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency was created to ensure and protect health, safety and welfare of Georgia citizens by enforcing Georgia laws and rules pertaining to manufactured or compounded drugs, and to ensure only licensed facilities or persons dispensed or distributed pharmaceuticals.

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 Board of Corrections Commissioner Assistant Commissioner Chief of Operations Facilities Operations Probation Operations Assistant Commissioner Chief of Staff Executive Operations Business Operations Operations Support Georgia Correctional Industries 146 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Department of Corrections Department of Corrections Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization community. DOC requires offenders to have jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center, and support their families. Day Reporting Centers (15): 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 (4): Corrections Corporation of America owns and operates three prisons in Coffee, Jenkins, and Wheeler Counties. The GEO Group, Inc. operates one facility in Baldwin county known as Riverbend. Like state prisons, these facilities are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve. Community Impact Program (5): A coalition of local law enforcement agencies and other community stakeholders that collaborate on issues concerning public safety, reducing recidivism and promoting successful reentry of high risk/high need offenders being released from incarceration back into the community by providing housing, employment, substance abuse treatment, mental health, education, and life skills assistance. 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.

2015 Department of Defense Department of Defense Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization The Department of Defense serves the nation and the DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfibDielifteienss,eandOrganization State of Georgia by organizing and maintaining National Guard forces, which the President of the United States can call to active duty to augment the nation's regular armed services, or which the Governor, as Commander-in-Chief of the State Militia, can order deployed in instances of disaster, riot, violence, or other dangers threatening the state and its citizens. The Department achieves these objectives through its four components: Office of the Adjutant General, Air National Guard, Army National Guard, and the State Defense Force. Using these components, the Department operates and manages approximately 1,200 training, maintenance, and logistics army facilities statewide. Another responsibility of the Department of Defense is the operation of Youth Challenge Academies for at-risk youth in the State of Georgia. This program is a preventative rather than a remedial program that targets at-risk youth participants who are unemployed, drug-free, not involved in the criminal justice system, and high-school dropouts, 16 to 18 years of age. 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 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 195 state funded local education agencies in the state (180 school systems and 15 state commission charter schools) operating more than 2,263 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 transitioned 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. 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) through 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.

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 participate in Social Security. Both plans are placed under the administration of the ERS Board of Trustees. %RDUG RI 7UXVWHHV ([HFXWLYH 'LUHFWRU 'HSXW\ 'LUHFWRU ([HFXWLYH 6XSSRUW &KLHI )LQDQFLDO 2IILFHU ,QYHVWPHQW 6HUYLFHV 'LYLVLRQ $FFRXQWLQJ 'LYLVLRQ ,QIRUPDWLRQ 7HFKQRORJ\ 'LYLVLRQ 3HDFK 6WDWH 5HVHUYHV 0HPEHU 6HUYLFHV 'LYLVLRQ 2IILFH $GPLQLVWUDWLRQ )LQDQFLDO 0DQDJHPHQW *URXS 196 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Employees' Retirement System of Georgia Employees' Retirement System of Georgia Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization GEORGIA JUDICIAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM (GJRS) This system is for members and retirees of the Superior Court Judges Retirement System, the District Attorneys' Retirement System, and the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund, as well as certain employees of the Attorney General and Legislative Counsel. The GJRS Board of Trustees consists of the seven ERS trustees plus three additional members appointed by the Governor who serve in one of the following positions: state court judge, superior court judge, state court solicitor-general, juvenile court judge, or district attorney. These appointments are for 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.

The commission carries out this mission by protecting forests 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 $28.9 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 6,612 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 subprogram is to provide leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining Georgia Forestry Commission Director Fire Prevention and Communications Field Operations Forest Management Marketing and Utilization Reforestation Administration Human Resources Forest Protection 202 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Georgia Forestry Commission Georgia Forestry Commission Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization 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, where 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.

Upon request, the GBI provides investigative and enforcement support services to local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies throughout Georgia. In addition to conducting general and specialized investigations, the GBI provides forensic laboratory examinations, and collects data on crime and criminals. The GBI uses its numerous programs and the latest technological advancements in crime fighting to combat drug trafficking and other crimes. GENERAL INVESTIGATION The Investigative Division, under the direction of the Deputy Director for Investigations, is the largest division of the GBI. Operations are based out of regional offices, regional drug enforcement offices, and other work units that provide specialized services in criminal investigations. Special agents from the Investigative Division respond to requests for assistance from criminal justice officials to investigate major crimes such as homicide, rape, child abuse, armed robbery, fraud, corruption, and other felonies. Investigations of crimes occurring on state property and drug investigations can be initiated without request. The majority of the manpower resources of the Investigative Division are distributed among the 15 regional field offices and the four regional drug enforcement offices. The regional field offices conduct general investigations of all crimes. The regional drug enforcement offices investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. There are numerous specialized areas of operations within the agency: Financial Investigations Unit Intelligence Unit Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Forces Polygraph Unit Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center Special Operations Unit/Bomb Disposal Unit Major Theft Unit FORENSIC SERVICES The Division of Forensic Sciences operates the headquarters laboratory in Atlanta, and six regional laboratories in Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Moultrie, and Cleveland.

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 35,000 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 and 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. DJJ operates under the guidance of a 15-member board appointed by the Governor. COMMUNITY SERVICES This program houses 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 specialized residential placements, multi-systemic therapy services, intensive supervision programs, and electronic monitoring. Some 11,600 youth reside in community-based settings on any given day while in the Department's care. Approximately 950 of the Department's 4,275 staff members are part of the Community Services program. Nearly 600 of these are juvenile probation and parole specialists, whose primary task is to supervise and maintain continuous interaction with youths placed in their charge.

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 41 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. AUTHORITY State Constitution, Article Four, Section Two.

of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 311 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 'Z W ^ ZZ Z Z h ZZ & WZZ 312 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Public Service Commission Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization should continue to have access to high quality utility services, whether those services are priced in a competitive market or through economic regulation.

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 five 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 Calhoun, Athens, 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 Soil and Water Conservation Board Executive Director Deputy Executive Director Administration Water Resources and Land Use Planning USDA Flood Control Watershed Structures Conservation of Agricultural Water Supplies Conservation of Soil and Water Resources 348 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 State Soil and Water Conservation Commission State Soil and Water Conservation Commission Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization 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 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.

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. %RDUG RI 7UXVWHHV ([HFXWLYH 'LUHFWRU &KLHI ,QYHVWPHQW 2IILFHU &KLHI )LQDQFLDO 2IILFHU (PSOR\HU 5HSRUWLQJ DQG &RQWDFW 0DQDJHPHQW +XPDQ 5HVRXUFHV &RPPXQLFDWLRQV 0HPEHU 6HUYLFHV ,QIRUPDWLRQ 7HFKQRORJ\ )LQDQFLDO 6HUYLFHV 5HWLUHPHQW 6HUYLFHV State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 365 Teachers Retirement System Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization Securities lending and portfolio officers, securities and investment analysts, and investment assistants are all part of the TRS investment team.

Investment recommendations made by the committee require approval by the entire board. COLA FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Teachers who retired prior to July 1, 1978 from a local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) receive a post-retirement cost of living adjustment (COLA) to their monthly benefit whenever such adjustment is granted to teachers who retire under TRS. These funds are appropriated to TRS annually.

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 24 technical colleges offering more than 600 programs of technical and general institution. These programs provide opportunities for students to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills to keep pace with rapidlychanging 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 150,000 students annually and produced about 28,000 graduates last year. ADULT LITERACY The Adult Education program, through its network of 32 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. 6WDWH %RDUG RI WKH 7HFKQLFDO &ROOHJH 6\VWHP &RPPLVVLRQHU 7HFKQLFDO &ROOHJH 6\VWHP 3UHVLGHQWV 'HSXW\ &RPPLVVLRQHU *HQHUDO &RXQVHO 6WHZDUGVKLS DQG 'HYHORSPHQW ([WHUQDO $IIDLUV 'DWD 3ODQQLQJ DQG 5HVHDUFK $GXOW (GXFDWLRQ (FRQRPLF 'HYHORSPHQW 7HFKQLFDO (GXFDWLRQ $GPLQLVWUDWLYH 6HUYLFHV *OREDO ,QLWLDWLYHV )DFLOLWLHV 0DQDJHPHQW &RPPXQLFDWLRQV +XPDQ 5HVRXUFHV State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 371 Technical College System of Georgia Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization ADMINISTRATION The Administration program fulfills overall administrative roles for the central office and the 24 technical colleges.

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.

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. %RDUG 0HPEHUV ([HFXWLYH 'LUHFWRU &KLHI 2SHUDWLQJ 2IILFHU /LFHQVXUH DQG 6HOI,QVXUDQFH $GPLQLVWUDWLYH 6HUYLFHV $OWHUQDWH 'LVSXWH 5HVROXWLRQ $SSHOODWH &ODLPV DQG 'RFXPHQW 3URFHVVLQJ 6HWWOHPHQWV (QIRUFHPHQW ,QIRUPDWLRQ 7HFKQRORJ\ 0DQDJHG &DUH DQG 5HKDELOLWDWLRQ /HJDO 3URFHVV ,PSURYHPHQW DQG 2YHUVLJKW 396 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 State Board of Workers' Compensation State Board of Workers' Compensation Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization 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 Information Technology Services Division provides innovative contemporary and accessible technology in computing, media, telephone services, and training to enable staff to meet their goals as a state agency.

Note on Expenditure Projections: Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 are based on the Governor's Budget Recommendations for those years. Projections for Fiscal Years 2016 to 2019 are based on agency caseload growth and an inflation factor. Debt service projections for FY 2016 to FY 2019 are provided by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission and include only the debt service for general obligation bonds. Funding for guaranteed revenue bonds is provided through the State Road and Tollway Authority and reflected under Transportation. There are no provisions to restore agency reductions made in Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 in future years. For Fiscal Years 2016 to 2019 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. 414 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Georgia Economic Report Georgia Economic Report At GeorgiaEconomicReport the mid-point of Fiscal Year 2014, the U.S. economic recovery has been in place for well over four years. The pace of U.S. GDP growth has been slow to moderate for much of that period. A number of factors have weighed on growth during this recovery but now appear to be easing which could lead to accelerating growth. First, consumer spending growth has generally fallen short of the pace of growth experienced in prior economic recoveries. Several factors help explain this. Household debt as a percent of income had risen sharply prior to the recession. Household have spent much of the recession and recovery period bringing debt burdens down too more manageable levels. Savings rates have increased and debt is down but this has restrained spending. In addition, slow to moderate job and income growth have also weighed on consumer spending growth. Now, consumer finances are much improved and job growth is showing signs of strengthening. This sets the stage for faster consumer spending growth and faster GDP 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 and for housing activity to begin to grow again. Over the last year, economic indicators for housing have improved, including housing prices, new home starts, and sales of new and existing homes. Consequently, investment in housing has switched from being a drag on GDP growth to a small positive contributor to GDP growth. Third, the government sector in the U.S., combining federal, state, and local activity, has been a drag on growth for much of the recovery as aggregate spending in this sector has declined over time. State and local governments have faced tough budget conditions due to declining revenues and federal policy makers have chosen to implement lower spending levels. State and local government spending has stabilized and is positioned to grow as the economic recovery continues and state and local tax revenues grow. Overall, the national economy has the fundamentals in place to support accelerating economic growth. There are still significant risks, particularly with the Federal Reserve on the verge of tapering its quantitative easing. This policy has been new territory for policy makers and the transition from the highly aggressive monetary policies of the post recession period to a more traditional policy stance could be bumpy. A wide range of economic indicators show that the economic recovery is progressing. Total U.S. year over year non-farm employment growth equals 1.7% as of November 2013. The U.S. is adding an average of 193,000 jobs per month as of November which is up from an average of 145,000 new jobs as of July. While employment is expanding, total employment is still below its peak level prior to the recession. The U.S. unemployment rate has also fallen. The U.S. rate as of November 2013 is 7.0%, down from a peak of 10.0% in October 2009 and down from 7.8% in November 2012. 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 in the U.S. Total retail sales grew 3.9% in October over the prior October. This is well down from growth rates achieved in the early stages of the recovery. A bright spot in consumer 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 averaged 15.6 million units during the September through November time period on an annualized basis. It appears the headwinds restraining consumer spending are slowly abating with unemployment is trending down and job growth showing signs of accelerating. Continuation of these trends would lead to improving income growth. Household wealth has recovered back above its peak prior to the recession and credit availability is gradually loosening. These factors, presuming they continue on their current trends, should result in faster consumer spending growth and contribute to stronger economic growth. Business activity continues to expand at a modest pace. The Institute of Supply Management index for manufacturing and its index for services are both above the 50 level that indicates that these sectors are expanding. New orders for manufactured goods are growing erratically but quickly enough that the backlog of orders has continued to grow. The national housing market is in recovery. Various measures of home prices are moving higher. For example, the S&P Case Shiller index for 20 metro areas across the U.S. is up 13.3% year over year as of September. Sales of new homes and existing homes are also trending up and housing starts are up. Mortgage foreclosure and delinquency rates are trending down and are approaching levels seen prior to the housing bust. Rising home prices are easing pressures on homeowners who had been underwater on mortgages and mortgage credit conditions have eased. Thus, investment in residential construction is expected to continue to contribute to national economic growth. Georgia's economy generally follows the overall trends of the U.S. economy, although it tends to grow more quickly during expansions and fall further during recessions. Georgia's employment situation has improved significantly in the last year. Non-farm employment grew by just over 85,000 jobs from October 2012 to October 2013. This equates to a 2.2% increase in employment which is higher than the comparable rate for U.S. employment. The Georgia unemployment rate is 8.1% as of October, down from 8.8% a year earlier. Georgia's unemployment rate has consistently exceeded that of the U.S. during this business cycle. Employment growth is positive for industry sectors such as professional and business services, finance, information, education and health and trade, transportation and utilities. State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 415 Georgia Economic Report Construction is also seeing positive year over year growth as the housing sector in Georgia rebounds. Government and manufacturing sectors are small drags on employment growth. The S&P Case Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area is up by 18.5% as September compared to the prior September. Residential construction permits are up over 34% from the prior year as of September. Georgia tax revenues growth in FY 2013 was good. Total tax revenue grew by 5.7% and General Fund revenues grew by 5.9%. Individual income tax revenues, the single largest component grew by 7.7% and corporate income tax revenues grew by over 35%. Sales tax revenues declined by 0.5% due to legislative changes to the tax base. Revenue growth has continued in FY 2014. Department of Revenue has reported tax revenue growth of 5.4% year-to-date through November 2013. The national and Georgia economies are expected to continue to grow at a moderate pace in the fourth quarter of 2013 and then gradually accelerate in 2014. However, the risks to this outlook are high. Near-term, the federal policy makers face more budget and debt limit issues in late 2013 and early 2014. Assuming these are resolved without disrupting business and investor confidence, the next big issue is the tapering of quantitative easing. Note that both houses of Congress have passed budget bills so it appears a resolution on budget issues is at hand. A resolution of the federal debt limit will still need to be achieved sometime in 2014. In addition, the Fed's policy response with quantitative easing was unprecedented and the gradual tapering of this policy has never been done before. Thus, the path from the highly aggressive monetary policy to a more neutral policy stance could prove very bumpy and lead to economic disruptions. It is anticipated that the Federal Reserve will begin to taper its bond buying in the near-term, possibly as early as following its mid-December meeting. 416 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Georgia Economic Report Detail Georgia Economic Report Detail Georgia Economic Report Detail Georgia Economic Indicators Personal Income Nominal personal income has been growing over the prior quarter for much of the recovery with occasional quarters in which income has fallen compared to the prior quarter. Similarly, wage and salary income has been growing. Wage & salary growth has been positive but 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 U.S. and in Georgia. The large job losses that occurred during the recession resulted in peak unemployment rates of 10.4% for several months during 2009. The current rate has fallen considerably from its peak but is still elevated at 8.1% as of October. This is down from 8.8% in October 2012 but above the U.S. unemployment rate of 7.0% as of November. Several factors have contributed to the year over year change in the unemployment rate. The size of the labor force has declined over the last year. Household employment has also declined. These two changes are indicative of still weak conditions in labor markets. The number of unemployed has also fallen which is a positive for labor conditions. Labor Markets Georgia's labor market continued to grow during 2013. Over the 12 months ending in October, non-farm employment in Georgia increased by 85,800 jobs. This equates to 2.2% year over year growth and exceeds the growth rate for U.S. non-farm employment over the same period of 1.7%. Erratic growth over the last three months has lowered the three month moving average growth in Georgia employment to just 330 jobs per month as of October after equaling 10,800 jobs per month in September. Employment growth across industry sectors continued to improve in 2013. Sectors such as professional and business services, construction, finance, information, education and health, and trade, transportation, and utilities added jobs over the year. Employment in the manufacturing and government sectors is still down slightly on a year over year basis. Most Georgia metro areas are also seeing net job growth, with the Atlanta metro area having the highest year over year job growth on a three month moving average basis as of October. Hinesville, Warner Robins, and Dalton are metro areas still experiencing net job losses on a year over year basis as of October. Housing Sector Georgia's housing market is recovering. Residential building permits issued are trending up and are well above year ago levels. Home prices, as measured by the S&P / Case Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area are up 18.5% on a year over year basis as of September. Atlanta metro area prices have increased over the prior month for eighteen consecutive months indicating sustained improvement in the local housing market. State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 417 Georgia Economic Report Detail Mortgage foreclosures were a key contributor to the decline in home values during the housing bust. Foreclosure rates soared leading to an excess of properties available. Currently, foreclosure rates are declining and are approaching levels seen prior to the recession. This should help accelerate the recovery in housing activity and remove a source of cheap supply from the market helping to firm home values. 418 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Glossary Glossary Glossary 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 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. State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 419 Glossary BUDGET CLASS -- See Object Class. BUDGET CYCLE -- A period of time in which a specific budget is in effect, usually 12 months. See fiscal year for dates applying to state and federal budgets. BUDGET ESTIMATE -- A statement which accompanies explanations, as required by state law, in which a budget unit states its financial requirements and requests for appropriations. Also known as an agency's budget request, which must be submitted to OPB by September 1 of each year. BUDGET MESSAGE -- A speech by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor outlines his spending proposals and revenue projections, including recommendations for increasing or decreasing revenues, that are embodied in an accompanying budget document. The formal budget message, dealing primarily with the following year's budget, is made to a joint session during the first week that the Legislature convenes. BUDGET REPORT -- A document that displays all programs, efforts and expenditures that are recommended by the Governor for each agency during a specific fiscal year. The Budget Report includes the Governor's official estimate of state revenue to be collected during the fiscal year and details any surplus, reserve or other funds that are available for expenditure. The fund availability outlined by the Governor determines the size of the budget for any given year. The Budget Report for the upcoming fiscal year is also known as the "big budget," the "outyear budget" and the "Governor's budget." The Amended Budget Report, which recommends changes to the current fiscal year budget, is also known as the "little budget." BUDGET UNIT -- A department, board, commission, office, institution or other unit of organization that has, under general law, an independent existence and thus is authorized to receive and expend an appropriation. A department or agency may have one or more budget units in the Appropriations Act. C CAPITAL OUTLAY -- Funds designated specifically to acquire, construct, renovate or repair public facilities and other assets. These funds may be appropriated in cash - from state general funds, lottery funds or other funds - or be provided through the sale of general obligation bonds or revenue bonds.

The tax rate is based on a corporation's taxable net income attributed to business done in Georgia. D DEDICATED FUNDS -- Funds collected from a specific revenue source that must be appropriated for a specific expenditure. An example in Georgia is motor fuel tax funds, which must be constitutionally appropriated for programs related to providing and maintaining an adequate system of public roads and bridges. DEBT LIMITATION -- The State Constitution places a ceiling on state indebtedness by limiting general obligation bond debt service payments to 10% of net treasury receipts for the prior fiscal year. E EMERGENCY FUND -- An appropriation to the Office of the Governor that is set aside for the Governor to provide grants to state agencies to meet emergency needs. Grants from the fund cannot involve a recurring obligation. ENHANCEMENT FUNDS -- Funding for required services that are above adjusted base level. ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS -- Certain programs, usually federal in origin, that provide benefits to individuals based on specific eligibility requirements. Medicaid is the largest entitlement program operated by the state. ESTATE (INHERITANCE) TAX -- Based on the value of the estate of residents as required to be reported for federal tax purposes. The tax is the amount equal to the amount allowable as a credit for state tax credits under the Internal Revenue Code. F FEDERAL FUNDS -- Funding from the federal government to pay for all or portions of specific programs. Often, federal funds require a state fund "match" in order to receive the federal allocation. FEDERAL RECOVERY FUNDS -- See American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. FISCAL AFFAIRS SUBCOMMITTEE -- Twenty members of the House of Representatives and the Senate comprise the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee, which is authorized to meet when the General Assembly is not in session to consider fiscal affairs transfers as described below at the request of the Governor. The membership includes the House Speaker and four other State Representatives appointed by the Speaker, the Lieutenant Governor and four Senators appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, and five members of each house appointed by the Governor. 420 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2015 Glossary Glossary FISCAL AFFAIRS TRANSFERS -- Appropriations are made through allocations to specific object classes, and funds must be spent within those object classes. Language in each Appropriations Act states that "...no funds whatsoever, shall be transferred between object classes without the prior approval of at least 11 members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This...shall apply to all funds of each budget unit whatever source derived." Fiscal affairs transfers can be considered at any time at the Governor's request but are usually considered near the end of the fiscal year to help agencies to meet emergency needs and to address unanticipated budget problems. FISCAL YEAR -- Any 12-month period at the end in which financial accounts are balanced. The state fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. The federal fiscal year begins October 1 and ends September 30. FRINGE BENEFITS -- Benefits that are provided to state employees over and above their salaries, as an inducement to employment. These benefits include retirement, health insurance and employer Social Security contributions. FUNDS [i.e., state, total, other] -- As used for the general purposes of the budget summaries and schedules in this document, unless otherwise noted, refers to state revenues available or received. The state's specific governmental accounting fund classifications are documented in the state Comprehensive Annual Financial Report prepared by the Department of Audits and Accounts. G GENERAL FUNDS -- State money that is used for general purposes of state government. General funds are derived from taxes, fees and other general revenues and are appropriated to finance the ordinary operations of governmental units. These funds are included in the Governor's Revenue Estimate and are a part of the State's Budget Fund for accounting purposes. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS -- Bonds sold by the state to fund major capital outlay projects or for the management of state debt. The bonds are backed by "the full faith, credit and taxing power of the state." GUARANTEED REVENUE BONDS -- State-sold bonds that have the principal and interest payable from earnings of a public enterprise. The state is required by law to appropriate one year's debt payment and to retain the total at that level until the bonds have been retired. Guaranteed Revenue Bonds can only be issued for specific purposes as outlined in the State Constitution. H HOUSE BUDGET 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.
