State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 27 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.

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 2016 budget, therefore, includes funds for Executive, Judicial, and Legislative agencies 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 2016 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 2016 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. Pay Package 1.

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. State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 39 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 timeline in processing tax returns, the most recent data used from the Department of Revenue is 2012. 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 fifth year in which the tax expenditure report has been produced. The report for FY 2015 provided estimates for FY 2013 to FY 2015. The current report (FY 2016) provides estimates for FY 2014 to FY 2016. 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 business license tax, special assessment of forest land conservation use property, and the title ad valorem tax on motor vehicles. For each type of expenditure item, a cost has been calculated for FY 2014, FY 2015, and FY 2016. 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 2014, FY 2015, and FY 2016. An appendix includes a summary of recently expired provisions, a table of sales and use tax expenditures by type, and distributional tables for selected number of income tax provisions. A copy of the full report may be accessed on the website of the Office of Planning and Budget at opb.georgia.gov. 40 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 Summary of Programs for Zero Based Budgeting Review Summary of Programs for Zero Based Budgeting Review Summary of Programs for Zero Based Budgeting Review Policy Area Agency The following programs were assessed during the fall budget process: Educated Georgia Early Care and Learning, Department of Regents, University System of Georgia Board Student Finance Commission, Georgia Technical College System of Georgia Healthy Georgia Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Department of Community Health, Department of Human Services, Department of Public Health, Department of Safe Georgia Corrections, Department of Investigation, Georgia Bureau of Juvenile Justice, Department of Public Safety, Department of Responsible and Efficient Government Banking and Finance, Department of Employees' Retirement System Governor, Office of the Insurance, Office of the Commissioner of Public Defender Standards Council, Georgia Public Service Commission Revenue, Department of Secretary of State, Office of Workers' Compensation, State Board of Growing Georgia Agriculture, Department of Forestry Commission, Georgia Natural Resources, Department of Mobile Georgia Transportation, Department of Program Pre-Kindergarten Marine Institute Marine Resources Extension Center Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Engineer Scholarship Tuition Equalization Grants Quick Start and Customized Services Adult Mental Health Services Indigent Care Trust Fund State Health Benefit Plan Georgia Board for Physician Workforce: Physicians for Rural Areas Georgia Composite Medical Board Child Care Licensing Child Welfare Services Elder Abuse Investigations and Prevention Elder Support Services Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency: Georgia Industries for the Blind Departmental Administration Infant and Child Essential Health Treatment Services Infant and Child Health Promotion Private Prisons Transition Centers Forensic Scientific Services Departmental Administration Aviation Motor Carrier Compliance Consumer Protection and Assistance Departmental Administration System Administration Governor's Emergency Fund Office of the State Inspector General Georgia Professional Standards Commission Insurance Regulation Special Fraud Public Defender Standards Council Commission Administration Local Tax Officials Retirement and FICA Corporations Elections Office Administration Professional Licensing Boards Securities Board Administration Departmental Administration Commission Administration Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Intermodal Local Maintenance and Improvement Grants The purpose of the Zero Based Budgeting review is to assess a program against its statutory responsibilities, purpose, cost to provide services, and outcomes achieved.

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 1.8 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 160,000 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 133% 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 630,000 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 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 131 Department of Community Health Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization members several coverage options managed by two statewide vendors and one regional vendor, including Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP), and standard and premier Medicare Advantage Plans. A wellness vendor administers actionbased incentives that will allow SHBP members and covered spouses to reduce their cost sharing. Incentives are 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.

2016 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 160,000 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 Assistant Commissioner Chief of Operations Facilities Operations Probation Operations Commissioner Governor's Office of Transition, Support, and Reentry Assistant Commissioner of Education and Programs Assistant Commissioner Chief of Staff Executive Operations Education and Programs Business Operations Support Operations Georgia Correctional Industries State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 147 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. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF TRANSITION, SUPPORT, AND REENTRY The Governor's Office of Transition, Support, and Reentry (GOTSR) is tasked with ensuring successful offender reentry, reducing recidivism, and enhancing public safety. GOTSR assists in the responsible use of cost-savings realized through justice reforms and reinvestment in evidence-based, communitycentered services. Through collaboration with other state agencies as well as non-governmental stakeholders, GOTSR works to develop and execute robust and systematic reentry plans for Georgia offenders and to ensure the delivery of appropriate services to offenders reentering society.

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 with significant student achievement issues. The SCSC is an independent state level entity with the ability to authorize and monitor state charter schools providing more public educational opportunities throughout the state. There are 195 state funded local education agencies in the state (180 school systems and 15 state commission charter schools) operating more than 2,274 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. The Department is now implementing the Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones). Georgia Milestones is a comprehensive summative assessment program spanning grades 3 through high school, which is designed to measure how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the stateadopted content standards in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an end-of-grade assessment in each content area, while high school students will take an end-of-course assessment for each of the eight courses designated by the State Board of Education. 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 State Board of Education State Superintendent of Schools State Charter Schools Commission Chief Academic Officer Chief of Staff School Improvement Curriculum and Instruction Assessment and Accountability Communications State Operated Schools Race to the Top Implementation External Affairs and Policy Technology Services Finance and Business Operations Legal Services State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 183 Department of Education Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) through grants totaling $93.7 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 23,000 course enrollments for the 2013-2014 school year. SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS The Department administers funds and provides technical assistance for school improvement. As part of Georgia's flexibility waiver from the U.S. Department of Education, Georgia developed the Georgia College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). The CCRPI is a comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform for all education stakeholders. The Department is also implementing the Georgia Student Growth Model that describes the amount of growth a student has demonstrated relative to academically-similar students from across the state. 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. ATTACHED AGENCY One agency is attached to the Georgia Department of Education for administrative purposes. The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia (SCSC) is an independent state level entity with the ability to authorize and monitor state charter schools providing more public educational opportunities throughout the state. The SCSC annually reviews the academic and financial performance of commission charter schools. It also develops and promotes best practices to ensure the establishment of high-quality charter schools in Georgia. The State Board of Education reviews the decisions of the State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia (SCSC). The SCSC operates autonomously, but is funded through the Department.

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 participate in Social Security. Both plans are placed under the administration of the ERS Board of Trustees.

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. PEACHSTATE RESERVES PeachState Reserves is the deferred compensation retirement plan for the State of Georgia. Through this program employee contributions and investments in 401(k) and 457 plans are administered by AonHewitt. INVESTMENTS ERS contracts with Teachers Retirement System and the Investment Services Division which handles day-to-day investment transactions.

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 Communications and Public Relations Field Operations Forest Management Forest Utilization and Markets Reforestation Administration Human Resources Forest Protection Information Technology 206 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 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.

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 over 30,000 youth every year and maintains a daily population of about 12,000. 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 10,000 youth reside in community-based settings on any given day while in the Department's care. SECURE DETENTION All of the state's 19 Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs), including 18 state-operated facilities and two privately operated facilities, are included in the Secure Detention program.

Nearly 800 youth are housed in secure detention facilities on a daily basis. SECURE COMMITMENT The state currently utilizes seven Youth Detention Campus (YDC) facilities, including six state-operated facilities and one privately operated facility, which house juvenile offenders committed to the state for a maximum of five years. Nearly 650 youth are housed in secure commitment facilities on a daily basis. Both RYDC and YDC facilities provide the youths housed therein with a variety of services, including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and other therapeutic programs.

Pardons and Paroles State Board of Pardons and Paroles Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is comprised of SRtoaltees,BRoeasrpdoonfsPibairlditoienss,aannddOPargroalneiszation five members appointed by the Governor and empowered to grant, deny, condition, and revoke executive clemency. The board reviews the sentences of all inmates to determine what degree of executive clemency may be warranted, directs the clemency action, and supervises the offenders who have been paroled or conditionally released from prison until the completion of their sentences. AGENCY OPERATIONS In order to accomplish its mission, the agency has identified two core businesses: Making informed parole decisions (Clemency), and Transitioning offenders back into the community (Field Supervision). The agency has re-engineered its entire organization to ensure that business processes, strategic objectives, performance measures, programs, and budget are all aligned with the core mission. The organizational structure of the agency also reflects the core businesses and mission of the agency. The Clemency Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed parole decisions. They also manage requests for restoration of rights and pardons. The Field Operations Division is responsible for the community supervision of offenders who have been granted the privilege of parole. Field parole officers, who work in 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.

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 Constitutional Board. 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 some 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 Georgia Public Service Commission Executive Director Administration Utilities Regulation Facility Protection 322 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 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 360 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 State Soil and Water Conservation 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 2016 379 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.

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 Education, 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.

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 52 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 care 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 Georgia Regents University 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 CEMETERIES 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, which opened in 2001, 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 (GI Bill), 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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tate of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 403 Department of Veterans Service Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization program. In addition to approving these institutions, the Department of Veterans Service also inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are met. This function is 100% federally funded and is staffed with eight employees. GOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The seven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the Senate, governs the Department of Veterans Service. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of a Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year term.

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 pace of U.S. GDP growth has been slow to moderate for much of that period but has picked up over the last two quarters. A number of factors have weighed on growth during this recovery but have not improved; this should support higher growth than the US has experienced for much of the postrecession period. First, stronger job growth and the first signs of wage growth are expected to boost consumer spending growth which has trailed the pace of growth experienced in prior economic recoveries. Second, housing construction and sales have typically been drivers 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. However, the pace of housing sales has been volatile over the past year, and it is possible that housing's contribution to growth will weaken. Third, the government sector in the U.S., combining federal, state, and local activity, had been a drag on growth for much of the recovery as aggregate spending in this sector declined over time. State and local governments faced tough budget conditions due to declining revenues and federal policy makers have chosen to implement lower spending levels. Aggregate government spending has begun to grow again and the government sector has contributed to GDP growth over the last two quarters. Overall, the national economy has the fundamentals in place to support stronger economic growth. Labor markets are improving, consumer sector finances are in good shape and business have sound balance sheets to help them invest and hire. A key risk is Federal Reserve monetary policy. The Fed has ended its purchases of private securities and is expected to begin to increase interest rates, probably sometime in the second half of 2015. The path back to a more neutral policy stance is uncertain and could lead to financial market volatility. This is complicated by the ongoing challenges in international financial markets as foreign central bankers wrestle with low growth and the threat of deflation. A wide range of economic indicators show that the economic recovery is progressing. Total U.S. year over year non-farm employment growth equals 2.0% as of November 2014. The U.S. is adding an average of 278,000 jobs per month as of November which is up from an average of 228,000 new jobs over the first six months of 2014. The U.S. unemployment rate has also fallen. The U.S. rate as of November 2014 is 5.8%, down from a peak of 10.0% in October 2009 and down from 7.0% in November 2013. Again, this represents significant improvement but leaves the unemployment rate still above its range in the years immediately prior to the recession. In addition, broader measures of unemployment indicate that there is still slack in US labor markets. Consumer spending growth has strengthened slightly in the last few months of 2015. Retails sales grew 5.1% in November 2014 over the prior November. This is down from growth rates achieved in the early stages of the recovery but higher than growth experienced in the first part of 2015. 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 16.7 million units during the September through November 2014 time period on an annualized basis. It appears the headwinds restraining consumer spending are slowly abating; unemployment is trending down and job growth accelerating. Continuation of these trends would lead to stronger 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 running just below 60, far 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 4.9% year over year as of September. Sales of new homes and existing homes have been very volatile during 2015 but are trending up since mid-2015. Housing starts are trending 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 95,400 jobs from October 2013 to October 2014. This equates to a 2.4% increase in employment, which is higher than the comparable rate for U.S. employment. However, the Georgia unemployment rate is 7.7% as of October, little changed from October 2013's reading of 7.8% and well above that of the US. Georgia's unemployment rate has State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 429 Georgia Economic Report consistently exceeded that of the U.S. during this business cycle. Employment growth is well diversified across industry sectors in Georgia. Growth leaders include construction, professional and business services, manufacturing, and trade, transportation and utilities. Only the government sector is showing a year over year decline in employment. The S&P Case Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area is up by 4.5% as of September 2014 compared to the prior September. Residential construction permits are up over 7.5% from the prior year as of October. This indicates that the housing market in Georgia is growing at a measured pace. Georgia tax revenues growth in FY 2014 was good. Total tax revenue grew by 5.1%, and General Fund revenues grew by 4.8%. Individual income tax revenues, the single largest component, grew by 2.2%, and corporate income tax revenues grew by over 18.4%. Sales tax revenues declined by 2.9% due to legislative changes to the tax base, primarily the elimination of the sales tax on auto sales and its replacement with the Title Ad Valorem tax. The Title Ad Valorem tax contributed an estimated $742 million in revenue in FY 2014. Revenue growth has continued in FY 2015. The Department of Revenue has reported tax revenue growth of 4.9% year-todate through November 2014. The US economy is on solid footing as the end of 2014 approaches. Labor markets are expanding, consumer spending is growing and business investment is solid. The government sector has switched from being a drag on growth to a contributor to economic growth. While there are risks to continued growth, primarily the end of quantitative easing and international economic and financial market conditions, it is expected that growth in 2015 will be faster than in 2014. Moreover, economic growth in 2016 should continue to exceed the modest pace of the recovery experienced to date. 430 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 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. Income growth has strengthened somewhat in the last two quarters but remains relatively modest compared to historical growth rates. This reflects the overall modest pace of economic growth in the U.S. and in Georgia. The recent uptick in growth reflects the strengthening of the economy over the last two quarters. 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 7.7% as of October. This is down slightly from 7.8% in October 2013 but above the U.S. unemployment rate of 5.8% as of November. The unemployment rate seems out of sync with other Georgia labor market indicators such as employment growth and initial unemployment insurance claims. These indicators are consistent with much stronger labor market conditions than indicated by the unemployment rate. Labor Markets Georgia's labor market continued to grow during 2014. Over the 12 months ending in October, non-farm employment in Georgia increased by 95,400 jobs. This equates to 2.4% year over year growth and exceeds the growth rate for U.S. non-farm employment over the same period of 2.0%. Over the last three months ending in October, non-farm employment growth has averaged 10,500 jobs per month. Employment growth across industry sectors continued to improve in 2014. Sectors such as professional and business services, manufacturing, construction, finance, information, education and health, and trade, transportation, and utilities added jobs over the year. The government sector is the only industry sector experiencing year over year declines in employment. Most Georgia metro areas are also seeing net job growth, with Gainesville, Augusta and the Atlanta metro area having the highest year over year job growth on a three month moving average basis as of October. Warner Robins and Albany are the only 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 4.5% on a year over year basis as of September. While price appreciation of home has moderated this year, this level is consistent with a sustainable price path for residential real estate. State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 431 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 trending down and are approaching levels seen prior to the recession. Thus, housing markets are normalizing, and price appreciation and starts should move toward historical trends as labor market and demographic trends firm. 432 State of Georgia's Budget Report FY 2016 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 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.
