At the time, revenues had fallen by 11%. More than 1 in 10 Georgians were looking for work. Our rainy day fund was nearly depleted. Our lottery programs were moving towards insolvency. Our correctional system was where more than 55,000 men, women, and juveniles called home. That budget represented the first of many difficult decisions, but it was also the first step in rebuilding Georgia to make it stronger than ever. This budget represents seven years of hard work in building a strong economic foundation for this state that will carry our children and grandchildren to a more prosperous future. In 2011, our revenues were $17.5 billion. The FY 2019 budget is $26.0 billion and built on 3.7% general fund growth over FY 2018. Over the last seven years, I have remained optimistic in the strength of Georgia's economic growth, but conservative in the revenue estimates used for the budget. This has helped ensure that taxpayers were not faced with draconian cuts in services mid-year if revenues did not grow as planned, and it has helped rebuild our Revenue Shortfall Reserve. A rainy day fund that held just $116 million at the end of 2010, holds $2.3 billion today. The rapid replenishment of our reserve has been recognized by all three credit rating agencies and has helped Georgia maintain its triple A credit rating, saving our taxpayers millions. We have budgeted conservatively to ensure that we make the best use of precious taxpayer dollars, but we have recognized that we also must invest to keep our economy growing and to increase revenues while reducing future costs. Since January of 2011, we have added 663,300 jobs to our economy. To encourage jobs to come to Georgia and to keep existing companies here and growing, my FY 2019 budget increases annual funding levels for our REBA and OneGeorgia programs to $49.4 million. The Amended FY 2018 budget also provides a one-time increase of $10 million to help preserve and attract jobs and tourism across the state. In FY 2011, the budget for the Department of Transportation was $673 million. My FY 2019 budget allocates more than $1.9 billion in annual funding to maintain and improve Georgia's transportation infrastructure on which our businesses and citizens rely. The capital package for FY 2019 includes an additional $100 million to repair and replace bridges across the state, bringing our direct investment in our bridge network to $400 million, and the Amended budget includes over $25 million to enhance our air transportation network to ensure that all areas of the state are accessible by larger aircraft. A strong economic foundation is dependent upon an educated and work ready citizenry. Our greatest resource is our people, and investing in the education of our youth to help them prepare for the jobs of tomorrow is the soundest investment we can make. In 2011, plummeting revenues had meant steep cuts across the budget, including to our K-12 and higher education systems. Our lottery funded programs had become financially unsustainable. Since 2011, we have restored $2.7 billion to our K-12 systems, including $59 million in FY 2019. The FY 2019 budget also includes $1.8 million to add 226 new scholars to the REACH Georgia Scholarship program and expand the program. It also adds $60 million to our higher education systems and transfers the Governor's Office of Workforce Development to the Technical College System of Georgia to further enhance the education to workforce pipeline. Our lottery system, which had reserves of $360 million at the end of FY 2010 and which were quickly depleting, today has minimum required reserves of almost $549 million while continuing to keep our promise of providing a quality pre-kindergarten education to 84,000 of Georgia's 4 year olds and merit-based scholarships and grants to help Georgia's best and brightest afford a quality higher education. The FY 2019 budget also includes an additional $361.7 million for the Teachers Retirement System to fully fund the actuarially determined employer contribution to keep our pension system on sound footing and ensure the state can meet its future obligations to those who have dedicated their careers to serving the educational needs of our children. In 2011, 1,239 individuals were civilly committed to one of our state's behavioral health hospitals, removed from their communities and families. Today that number is fewer than 500. We have invested almost $240 million over the last seven years to serve citizens in need of behavioral health services more appropriately in their own communities and outside of state institutions. As a state, we are doing more to help the behavioral well-being of our citizens than ever before. The FY 2019 budget includes an additional $15 million to further fund our intellectual and developmental disabilities waiver services programs and provide supportive housing opportunities for Georgians in need. We have also expanded service options for children diagnosed with autism to help them get started on the right foot early by investing $3.5 million in Amended FY 2018 and almost $7 million in FY 2019 as part of the Children's Autism Initiative. The FY 2019 budget also includes $22.9 million to begin funding recommendations from the Commission on Children's Mental Health for crisis services, therapeutic foster care, Apex grants, telehealth services, suicide prevention, wraparound services, supported employment and education, and opioid prevention and treatment to provide comprehensive support to Georgia's youth in crisis. Of all the reforms that we have made to our state's services and investments we have made in our citizens, perhaps none have had such a tremendous impact on the state's budget and well-being of its people as our criminal justice reform efforts. In FY 2011, we had 53,341 offenders residing in our state's prisons. We projected that we would have more than 60,000 in prison by today. Instead of growing our population, today that number is less than 53,000, meaning we are paying for 7,000 fewer inmates than we would otherwise be housing, avoiding more than $156 million in annual costs to imprison these offenders. Sentencing reform has kept low-level, non-violent offenders out of our prison system, and accountability courts have diverted offenders to rehabilitative services within their communities. These reforms have kept families together, kept individuals employed, and helped offenders avoid an endless cycle of recidivism that destroys lives and communities. We have invested a total of $113.9 million in establishing and operating accountability courts across the state since FY 2012, and the FY 2019 budget includes an additional $5 million to further those efforts. Seven years ago, Georgia, like other states, was faced with an economic crisis unlike any since the Great Depression. While other states raised taxes or increased debts to address the crisis, Georgia made difficult decisions and sound investments to position ourselves to be stronger than ever after the crisis had passed. Today Georgia is the number one state in the nation in which to do business for the fifth consecutive year. Our children have more and better educational resources and opportunities available to them. Our transportation system is better funded than ever before to keep up with the needs of our growing economy and population. Our citizens are safer and better cared for. I am grateful for the cooperation and hard work of the General Assembly these past seven years as we have worked hand in hand to make Georgia the state it is today, and I look forward to working with you during the upcoming legislative session to keep Georgia the greatest state in which to live, work, and play.

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

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) was transferred to from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Community Health in FY 2017. The amounts starting in FY 2017 represent both Federal and State funding sources. 2) Administratively attached agency to the Department of Public Health. 3) The SOURCE waiver continues to cover case management, but is now reimbursed under the SOURCE Service Delivery Program category of service, beginning in FY 2016. 4) All other Medicaid benefit expenditures do not include inpatient hospital services. 5) Budget and expenditure data shown above is presented as submitted to the Office of Planning and Budget by state agencies. The U.S. Supreme Court decision, Olmstead v. L.C (1999) declared that unnecessary segregation of individuals in institutions might constitute discrimination based on disability and be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The decision affects qualified individuals with a physical, mental, or age-related disability who are receiving state-supported long-term care in a state hospital or nursing home that could also benefit from community placement and are not opposed to the move. It also affects people with disabilities who need state-supported community-based services to avoid going to state hospitals or nursing homes. Since the Olmstead decision, Georgia has taken steps to comply with the ruling by making more community services available and accessible to Georgians with disabilities.

These programs affect all Georgians as well as countless others throughout the United States and the world where Georgia agribusiness products are consumed. PLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION The Plant Industry division administers and enforces federal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, organic agriculture, treated timber, boll weevil eradication, and other environmental protection programs. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to guarantee that those commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled. ANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION The Animal Industry monitors, detects, and controls animal diseases that can have a significant impact on the agricultural economy and can be contagious to both animals and people. It works to ensure the continued protection of animal and public health, food safety, animal welfare, and successful livestock production. The division is organized in the sections of Animal Health, Companion Animal and Equine Health, Livestock and Poultry Field Forces, Meat Inspection, and Poultry Market News. FUEL AND MEASURES DIVISION The Fuel and Measures division primarily ensures equity in the marketplace by verifying the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices. It inspects measuring devices used for commerce by conducting on-site inspections and tests of commercial weighing devices. Its responsibilities also include operating the state fuel oil laboratory and the state weights laboratory, both of which ensure that Georgia's regulated consumer products meet required quality standards. FOOD SAFETY DIVISION The Food Safety division primarily prevents the sale and distribution of adulterated or misbranded foods to consumers. The division administers state laws, rules, and regulations, for retail and wholesale grocery stores, retail seafood stores, places in the business of food processing, and plants which are currently required to obtain a license from the Commissioner under any other provision of law. MARKETING DIVISION The Marketing division promotes demand for and the sale of the state's agricultural commodities, ensures prompt and complete payment for products, and ensures safe storage of farmers' products. These efforts are supported by the Department's State Farmers Markets Network, Commodity Promotion Program Office, Business Development Office, Bonding and Warehouse Licensing, and the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin publication. The Marketing division also provides a number of specific marketing programs to benefit Georgia farmers, including: the Georgia Grown logo, the Vidalia onion certification mark, and agritourism signage. ATTACHED AGENCIES The Athens and Tifton Veterinary Diagnostic Labs ensure a safe food supply and the health of animals and people within Georgia by providing diagnostic support, investigative resources, and disease surveillance for naturally occurring and foreign animal diseases and bioterrorism. The labs address the concerns of veterinarians, regulatory agencies, animal owners, and wildlife groups. The Poultry Veterinary Diagnostic Labs carry out the USDA's National Poultry Improvement Plan and provide diagnostic and monitoring services for Georgia's poultry industry and private poultry owners in the state. The labs also certify that flocks are free from devastating poultry diseases such as avian influenza. These activities ensure that Georgia has the healthiest flocks possible and can continue to produce and export more poultry products annually than any other state. The Georgia Agriculture Exposition Authority promotes, develops, and serves agriculture and agriculture business interests in the state, produces and operates the Georgia National Fair, and encourages the agricultural accomplishments of Georgia's youth. The Georgia Seed Development Commission is the agency responsible for foundation plant material production in Georgia. It is designated as the recipient of breeder seed from University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations. The Georgia Development Authority is an insured farm loan program created in 1953 to help develop opportunities for Georgia Farmers. The Agricultural Commodity Commissions are farmer-funded support programs for twelve commodities. Assessments collected by each Commission assist in areas of research, education, and promotion on behalf of the respective commodity. The State Soil and Water Conservation Commission (SSWCC) was formed to protect, conserve, and improve the soil and water resources of the State of Georgia. The Commission's primary goal is to make Georgia a better place for its citizens through the wise use and protection of basic soil and water resources, and to achieve practical water quality goals through agricultural and urban best practices.

Health Roles and Responsibilities The Department of Community Health (DCH) was created in 1999 to serve as the lead agency for health care planning and purchasing issues in Georgia. A nine-person board appointed by the Governor has policy-making 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 1.9 million persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or low income. A broad array of health care services are available to address the needs of program participants; including hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services. Aged, blind, and disabled Medicaid members utilize a fee-for-service delivery system. Most low-income Medicaid members enroll in the Care Management Organizations (CMO) system for the management of their health care services. State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government traditionally paying for about 68% of health care costs each fiscal year. 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 133,000 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 134% and 247% of the federal poverty level to participate in the program. Most PeachCare members are enrolled in the CMO system. 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 State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) Division manages the health insurance coverage for approximately 650,000 state employees, school system employees, retirees, and their dependents. The SHBP offers 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 premium Medicare Advantage Plans. HEALTHCARE 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. HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The Health Information Technology (HIT) program leads the strategic initiatives for the state in health information technology adoption and health information exchange (HIE). Initiatives include the Medicaid Electronic Health Records Incentive program, the Demonstration Grant for Testing Experience and Functional Assessment Tools (TEFT), and the Georgia Health Information Network (GaHIN). 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 is responsible for the regulation of dentists and dental hygienists in Georgia. The Board reviews applications, administers examinations, licenses qualified applicants, and regulates the practice of licenses throughout the state. 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 statewide. ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Composite Medical Board licenses physicians and other health care practitioners and enforces the Medical Practice Act. The Georgia Board of Physician Workforce provides financial support to medical schools and residency training programs. The board offers a physician loan repayment program in exchange for practice in rural and underserved areas. The Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency was created to ensure and protect the health, safety, and welfare of Georgia citizens by enforcing laws pertaining to manufactured or compounded drugs, and to ensure only licensed facilities or persons dispensed or distributed pharmaceuticals.

More than 50,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. The Department has developed the following priorities: A continuum of balanced sanctions is available to the criminal justice system. Sound correctional practices are founded upon reliable and timely information. Citizens are safe from incarcerated and supervised inmates; 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. The Department has a highly trained and professional workforce available to achieve the Department's mission, both today and in years to come. Inmates are prepared to accept responsibility for their acts, to restore harm done to the community, and to lead a productive, crime-free life. AGENCY OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured and secure environment, which removes offenders who pose a high risk from the community. GDC provides legally mandated services in the areas of physical, dental, and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services, and recreation. GDC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the prison system and the community. Inmates work in prison farm operations, food preparation, laundry, construction, facility and landscape maintenance, and perform factory work in Georgia Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. The types of GDC institutions include the following facilities: State Prisons (33): These institutions are typically reserved for felony inmates with more than one year of incarceration to serve. County Prisons (21): 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. Probation Detention Centers (7), Probation Boot Camp (1), and Parole Revocation Center (1): These three programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period that enforces strict discipline and military protocol. Transition Centers (13): These community-based centers are designed to allow inmates nearing the end of their prison term to prepare for life in the community. GDC requires residents to have jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center, and support their families. Private Prisons (4): CoreCivic owns and operates three prisons in Coffee, Jenkins, and Wheeler counties. The GEO Group, Inc. operates one facility in Baldwin County. Like state prisons, these facilities are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve. Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Centers (4 stand alone and 8 programs within State prisons): RSAT is a nine-month, highly structured program that targets high risk, high needs inmates nearing release, probationers sentenced by the courts, parole revocators and other court or GDC-referred inmates who have a need for intensive substance abuse programming. Intensive Treatment Facilities (2): ITF is a nine-month, highly structured program that actively combines interventions intended to address both mental health and substance abuse issues in persons with co-occurring disorders with the intention of treating both disorders, related problems and the whole person more effectively. Re-Entry Facility (1): In January 2018, GDC will reopen a state prison facility that has been remissioned to function as a re-entry facility for the Metro Atlanta area. The facility will focus on rehabilitating offenders to achieve recidivism reduction and accommodate re-entry needs in the Metro Atlanta area. Offenders will be connected, pre and post release, with local stakeholders in the areas of employment, housing, education, treatment, and other services needed to successfully transition back into society. Other agency operations critical to the state correctional system include the following programs: Health Services: Provides the required constitutional level of health care in the most efficient, cost-effective, and humane manner possible, while protecting the public health interests of the citizens of Georgia through planning, implementing, and coordinating physical, dental, and mental health services as required, across GDC. Food and Farm Operations: Provides meals for offenders through raising crops and livestock, managing timber, and producing dairy items that will be used in the preparing of meals for offenders. County Jail Subsidy: Provides reimbursement to counties for the appropriated cost of incarcerating state prisoners in their local facilities after sentencing. Offender Management: Coordinates and operates the following agency wide support services to ensure public safety: canine units, the County Correctional Institutions program, Correctional Emergency Response Teams, inmate classification, inmate diagnostics, the jail coordination unit, the release and agreements unit, and tactical squads.

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. GEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD The role of the Georgia Air National Guard is to provide fully equipped, fully trained combat units which are prepared to respond to state or national emergencies. The activation and deactivation, organization, administration, training, equipping, and housing of its units, as well as the evaluation of its wartime capability are mandated responsibilities. GEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD The Georgia Army National Guard is responsible for maintaining a level of operational readiness, which allows for immediate and effective response to state or national emergencies, civil disturbances, and natural disasters. OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL The role of the Office of the Adjutant General is to provide command and control of the entire organization, as well as centralized administrative support for the department. The Adjutant General also serves as the state's director of the Selective Service System. STATE DEFENSE FORCE The role of the volunteer State Defense Force is to serve as an auxiliary unit in the event of a full mobilization, and to provide assistance to state and local governments and civil organizations during emergencies and natural disasters, as well as support for the staging of special events. YOUTH CHALLENGE ACADEMY 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.

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 209 state funded local education agencies in the state (180 school systems and 29 state commission charter schools) operating more than 2,291 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 $9 billion in funding for education. CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, AND ASSESSMENT The Department of Education transitioned from the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) to the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) for the subject areas of English/language arts and mathematics in the 2012-2013 school year. These standards were adopted for all of Georgia's K-12 public schools and 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 are consistent with rigorous high school diploma requirements for all students. The Department implemented 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 mastered the skills outlined in the stateadopted content standards in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students in grades 5 and 8 will complete an end-of-grade assessment in each content area, while students in grades 3, 4, 6, and 7 will complete an end-of-grade assessment in mathematics and English. High school students will complete 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 administers a number of programs for students in need of additional services, including a program for disabled preschool children, tuition for the multi-disability students, and funding for the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) through grants totaling $103.3 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 with the Georgia Standards of Excellence in the core content areas, foreign language, business electives, and Advanced Placement. State funding has supported over 27,700 course enrollments for the 2016-2017 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 also implemented the Georgia Student Growth Model that measures 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, including 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, Teacher and Leader Effectiveness, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Pupil Transportation, Equalization, and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education. ATTACHED AGENCIES One agency is attached to the Georgia Department of Education for administrative purposes. The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia 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. The SCSC operates autonomously, but is funded through the Department.

FY 2019 Employees' Retirement System Roles and Responsibilities By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement 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 (ERS) 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 fouryear 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. 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 four-year 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 fouryear 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, forest diseases, cooperating with the 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 State Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's forestland, which comprises 75% of all land in the state. The Commission has four programs: Administration, Forest Protection, Forest Management, and the Tree Seedling Nursery. Through these programs, the 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, and protects the forest resources of the State through fire prevention and suppression. 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 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. This Program 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 forest landowners 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. Forest Management also collects forestry data used to inform Georgia residents and policymakers through its Forestry Inventory and Analysis subprogram. FOREST PROTECTION Forest Protection, the primary function of the State Forestry Commission, is carried out through the Fire Business Activities subprogram. This includes a statewide network of county and district offices supplied with staff and equipment necessary for the prevention and suppression of forest fires. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires, followed by a powerful initial response from trained firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. In addition, forest rangers carry out prescribed burns to mitigate forest fire risks. Under Georgia code, the Commission is responsible for all wildfires in unincorporated areas of our State through the Rural Fire Defense subprogram. This program ensures 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 subprogram, 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. TREE SEEDLING NURSERY Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the Commission's Tree Seedling Nursery program. The goal of this program is to produce, sell, and distribute high quality forest tree seedlings to the residents of Georgia. The Arrowhead Seed Orchard and the Flint River Nursery serve as the program's main locations. The Arrowhead Seed Orchard is the site for seed collection, as well as the location for the tree improvement program. At Arrowhead, program staff collect and process over seven tons of seeds per year. The seeds are sold to private nurseries or are shipped to the Flint River Nursery to be planted. The tree improvement program produces unique varieties of loblolly and slash pine trees, which are designated to thrive in Georgia's environment. At the Flint River Nursery, the program produces and sells forest tree seedlings. The nursery typically grows, lifts, and packs between 12 million and 15 million seedlings per year.

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

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 28,000 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 the 181st 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 simultaneously oversees three education transition centers (ETC) which aim to keep children in classrooms. These ETC's offer high school diploma's as well as GED's and provide local youth with opportunities to continue their education and earn course credits outside of public school classrooms. SECURE DETENTION All of the state's 19 Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) are included in the Secure Detention program. RYDC facilities are designed to provide a secure placement for youth awaiting formal adjudication for an offense and those youth sentenced to short-term incarceration of up to 30 days. Approximately 850 youth are housed in secure detention facilities on a daily basis. SECURE COMMITMENT The state currently utilizes seven Youth Development Campus (YDC) facilities, which house juvenile offenders committed to the state for a maximum of five years. Approximately 400 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. AUTHORITY Title 15 Chapter 11, Title 39 Chapter 3, and Title 49 Chapter 4A, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. 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. In addition, increased supervision strategies and evidenced based programming have been implemented to address Juvenile Justice Reform requirements. Over 10,750 youth reside in community-based settings on any given day while in the Department's care. 188 Governor's Budget Report FY 2019 Department Budget Summary State General Funds TOTAL STATE FUNDS Federal Funds TOTAL FEDERAL FUNDS Other Funds TOTAL OTHER FUNDS Total Funds Department of Juvenile Justice FY 2019 Program Budgets FY 2018 Current Budget $337,154,387 $337,154,387 7,804,205 $7,804,205 340,307 $340,307 $345,298,899 Changes $6,549,413 $6,549,413 0 $0 0 $0 $6,549,413 FY 2019 Recommendation $343,703,800 $343,703,800 7,804,205 $7,804,205 340,307 $340,307 $351,848,312 Community Service Purpose: The purpose of this appropriation is to protect the public, hold youth accountable for their actions, assist youth in becoming law-abiding citizens and transition youth from secure detention, and provide the following alternative detention options: non-secure detention shelters, housebound detention, emergency shelters, a short-term stay in a residential placement, tracking services, wraparound services, electronic monitoring, or detention in an alternative program.

The board reviews the sentences of all inmates to determine what degree of executive clemency may be warranted, directs the clemency action, and monitors the progress of all 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 budgetary programs: Clemency: Making informed parole decisions and administering the parole violation, commutation, and interstate compact processes. Victim Services: Ensuring crime victims have a voice in the criminal justice process. The Clemency Decisions program consists of the Clemency and Field Services Divisions. The Clemency Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed parole decisions of current inmates. This includes a thorough review of individual criminal history, circumstances of the offense, recommendation of time to serve based on scientific, agency developed, Parole Guidelines, and validated risk assessments. The Pardons unit within the Clemency Decisions program compiles, reviews, processes, and presents for consideration all requests for restoration of civil, political, and firearms rights and pardons of all types. The Field Services Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed decisions regarding the issuance of board warrants, revocations or continuances of parole, extraditions, and considerations for commutation of parole. This case preparation includes the review and recommended actions in response to delinquent reports submitted by community supervision officers as a result of parole violations in the community. In addition, the Field Services Division includes the Interstate Compact unit. This unit is responsible for conducting extradition activities, conducting preliminary and probable cause hearings, and managing the interstate compact process for all Georgia parolees. The Victim Services program is comprised of the Office of Victim Services (OVS). OVS provides opportunities for victims to communicate the impact of offender actions at all stages of the criminal justice process by coordinating services for the Department of Corrections, the Department of Community Supervision, and the Parole Board. OVS provides systems for victims to obtain information regarding the custody status of inmates and notification upon release of the offender, as well as opportunities for face-to-face contact with the Board via Victim Visitor's Day. The Board Administration program is composed of support services units that conduct the internal operations of the agency including fiscal management, staff training, human resources, quality assurance audits, and internal affairs.

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 an executive regulatory 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 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 is responsible for ensuring that utility services are reliable, reasonably priced, and high quality whether those services are priced in a competitive market or through economic regulation.

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. Securities lending and portfolio officers, securities and investment analysts, and investment assistants are all part of the TRS investment team. Six members of the TRS Board of Trustees, along with the executive director, comprise the Investment Committee. Committee members convene with the Chief Investment Officer of the Investment Services Division and hear recommendations from outside investment advisors at monthly meetings. 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. FLOOR FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Any teacher who has retired from a local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) shall receive a minimum allowance upon retirement of not less than $17.00 per month for each year of creditable service, not to exceed 40 years of service. 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 Education, Economic Development, and Administration. TECHNICAL EDUCATION TCSG oversees 22 technical colleges offering more than 600 programs of technical and general instruction. These programs provide opportunities for students to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills to keep pace with rapidly-changing technology and competition in a world market. Students attending technical colleges have the option of short-term programs as well as courses of study leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. These programs can range in duration from a few weeks to two years. The technical colleges serve approximately 135,000 students annually and produced nearly 35,000 graduates last year. ADULT EDUCATION The Adult Education program, through its network of 31 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 education 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. ADMINISTRATION The Administration program fulfills overall administrative roles for the central office and the 22 technical colleges. These activities include budgeting, accounting, purchasing, asset management, personnel, information technology, research, public information, legal services, planning, and evaluation.

Proceeds from the state's motor fuel taxes are constitutionally designated solely for use on Georgia's roads and bridges. The Department is governed by a board comprised of members from each of the state's congressional districts elected by each district's state representatives and senators. The board in turn appoints a commissioner. The Director of the Planning Division is appointed by the Governor and is subject to confirmation by the state House of Representatives and Senate Transportation Committees. The director serves during the term of the Governor by whom he or she is appointed. PLANNING, CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS The Department plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the state highway system. Through the Planning Division, the Department develops a state transportation improvement program and state-wide strategic transportation plan. In addition, the Department performs location and environmental studies, conducts mapping and photogrammetric surveys, acquires rights-of-way necessary to construct and maintain highways, supervises all construction and maintenance activities let to contract, ensures the quality of materials used in construction, and conducts research to improve planning and engineering methods. The Department is also responsible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges of the state highway system. The goal is to preserve the existing road network and improve its safety by supervising major reconstruction and resurfacing or rehabilitation projects; performing certain heavy and specialized maintenance such as emergency repairs; making spot improvements and safety modifications; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining warning and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; maintaining state welcome centers and rest areas; and issuing permits for special vehicles such as overweight carriers. INFORMATION AND TRAVELER SERVICES The Department provides critical information and services concerning transportation to government agencies and the public. Data collected include truck weight, traffic volume, and speed. The Department also maintains an inventory of the public road system and produces the official state transportation map along with county maps. The Navigator system, HEROs, and CHAMP provide critical services and information to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the state's highways. The Navigator system uses video cameras, road sensors, weather stations, and other technology to collect data and control traffic. Information is then made available to the public through various outlets. HERO units respond to traffic incidents on Metro Atlanta freeways to minimize any impact on traffic flow. These units are on duty at all times patrolling routes on the interstates throughout the metropolitan Atlanta and Macon area and responding to incidents such as road debris, chemical spills, disabled vehicles, and accidents. CHAMP units respond to incidents on interstates outside Metro Atlanta. These units provide roadway maintenance for both minor and major incidents, motorist assistance and support emergency response. MULTIMODAL SERVICES The Transit subprogram of the Intermodal program provides financial and technical assistance to preserve and enhance the state's urban and rural public transit program. The subprogram administers the federal funds from the Federal Transit Administration and provides the state share for the local match. The Airport Aid subprogram provides financial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance, and other services as needed. It also maintains the state airport system plan; publishes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and lends management and technical assistance to local governments to develop, maintain, and improve air service. The Rail subprogram acquires and rehabilitates rail lines to ensure freight rail service is a safe, efficient, and viable transportation option throughout the state. This effort provides cities, counties, and municipalities the opportunity to offer an efficient transportation alternative to promote economic development in their communities. The Ports and Waterways subprogram is responsible for the provision and maintenance of land, dikes, and control works necessary for storage of dredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the department. ATTACHED AGENCIES The State Road and Tollway Authority operates tolled transportation facilities within the state and acts as the transportation financing arm for the state. The Georgia Rail Passenger Authority constructs, finances, operates, and develops rail passenger services and other public transportation projects.

Report FY 2019 281 Department of Veterans Service Roles and Responsibilities The Department of Veterans Service serves more than 752,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries in all matters pertaining to veterans affairs. Since all veterans' benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of informing veterans and their families about available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled. VETERANS ASSISTANCE The Department provides veterans' assistance through an appeals staff, field offices, information division, and central office. The appeals staff assists veterans who are appealing decisions on claims made by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The 52 field offices, located throughout the state, provide direct assistance to veterans at the local level. Department field officers 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 Augusta University and the VA 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 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 executive director also provides management supervision, makes presentations to various groups as requested, assists the directors as needed, and acts as peer review of medical services. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Division mediates appropriate issues, issues orders, and makes presentations to various groups as requested. The Appellate Division researches cases that are appealed to the board, recommends appropriate action, receives and processes documents regarding appealed cases, and sets calendars for appellate hearings. The Claims Processing Division includes data entry, documents processing, and file room units. These units are responsible for coding and quality input of claims data, processing correspondence, and coordinating the transfer, retention, and destruction of all claims files. The Enforcement Division investigates incidents of noncompliance and incidents alleging fraud, maintains information on employers' insurance coverage, and makes presentations to various groups regarding fraud/compliance. The Legal Division is responsible for conducting hearings in contested cases and ruling on motions. The Division schedules and holds hearings for those claims in which an evidentiary hearing was requested by a party, or in cases where mediation conference was either inappropriate or did not result in resolution of the pending issues. The Managed Care and Rehabilitation Division processes requests for rehabilitation services, performs quality assurance reviews of rehabilitation suppliers, holds conferences to resolve disputes, reviews and approves rehabilitation plans, reviews applications of managed care organizations, and registers rehabilitation suppliers. The Settlements Division reviews and processes stipulated settlements and requests for advances. The 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.

This length of this recovery exceeds the average length of the recovery and expansion phase of other post-World War II economic cycles and is approaching the longest cycle of the post war period. While this economic cycle is long in duration, it shows few signs that it is reaching an end point. Importantly, the global economies are in relatively good shape. Growth in Europe has picked up and China's economy is growing. The world economy has strengthened, with monetary and fiscal stimulus underpinning a broad-based and synchronized improvement in growth rates across most countries, according to the OECD's latest report on the global economic outlook. While real (inflation adjusted) US GDP growth is quite volatile on a quarter by quarter basis, trend growth continues at a solid rate. Real GDP grew by just 1.2% in the first quarter of 2017 but the pace of growth accelerated to 3.1% in the second quarter and 3.0% in the third quart, all at a seasonally adjusted annual rate. Overall, the national economy has the fundamentals in place to support continued economic growth. Labor markets are strong with the national market approaching full employment, 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 has begun to raise policy interest rates. Another rate hike is anticipated at the December Open Market Committee meeting. While rates are expected to move higher over time, note that the expected path will continue to leave rates at a historically low level. A wide range of economic indicators show that the economic recovery is progressing. Total U.S. year over year non-farm employment growth equals 1.4% as of October 2017. The U.S. is adding an average of just over 166,000 jobs per month as of October 2017. The U.S. unemployment rate has also fallen. The U.S. rate as of October 2017 is 4.1%, down from a peak of 10.0% in October 2009. This rate suggests that slack in US labor markets is rapidly eroding. In addition, broader measures of unemployment also show that the US is moving toward full employment and this is setting the stage for the Fed to continue to increase policy interest rates despite low inflation. Real consumer spending growth has been running in excess of 2.5% on a year over year basis. Auto sales had been a key driver of consumer spending during much of this business cycle. New vehicle sales soared during September and October likely due to replacement of vehicles damaged during hurricanes in Texas and Florida. However, new vehicle sales have likely topped out despite this short term boost. Still, the economic fundamentals underlying consumer spending are in good shape. Household wealth has recovered from the declines during the Great Recession and is far above its pre-recession level. Household debt obligations as a percent of monthly income are near record lows and job and disposable income growth both support consumer spending growth. Consumer use of revolving credit is growing as consumer confidence improves and banks gradually loosen lending standards. All of this contributes to an expectation that consumer spending will continue to contribute to economic growth. Measures of business activity show that manufacturing growth has recovered from levels consistent with contraction in late 2015 and early 2016 to levels consistent with modest growth in recent months while services activity is expanding at a healthier rate. The Institute of Supply Management index for manufacturing is at 58.2 as of November 2017, well above the neutral value of 50. This reading is consistent with a manufacturing sector in which activity is expanding at a solid pace. In addition, the index for services is running at 57.4 well above the neutral level and also indicative of a solid rate of expansion in the services sector. The national housing market continues its 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 6.0% year over year as of August 2017. Sales of new homes and existing homes are volatile but are trending up as are housing starts. 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. 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 labor market continues to strengthen. Non-farm employment grew by 87,800 jobs from October 2016 to October 2017. This equates to a 2.0% increase in employment which is higher than the comparable rate for U.S. employment. Georgia's unemployment rate is 4.3% as of October, down from October 2016's reading of 5.4%. However, Georgia's unemployment rate is still slightly above the unemployment rate for the US, 4.1%. Employment growth is well diversified across industry sectors in Georgia. Growth leaders include professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and finance. Construction and manufacturing sectors experienced a year over year decline in employment as of October. The decline in construction employment likely reflects the completion of two large projects, SunTrust Park and Mercedes Benz Stadium during the year. The S&P Case Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area is up by 5.5% as August 2017 compared to the prior August. Governor's Budget Report FY 2019 303 Georgia Economic Report Georgia tax revenues growth in FY 2017 was solid. Total tax revenue grew by 4.5% and General Fund revenues grew by 4.7%. Individual income tax revenues, the single largest component grew by 5.2% but corporate income tax revenues declined by 0.9%. Sales tax revenues grew by 4.7%. The Department of Revenue has reported tax revenue growth of 1.6% year-to-date through October 2017; however, revenue performance was lowered due to the Department processing a significant backlog of refunds in late October and early November. The US economy is on solid footing as the end of 2017 approaches. Labor markets are expanding, consumer spending is growing and the housing recovery continues. Labor markets are approaching full employment and inflation is low. Overall, the US and Georgia economies are on-track to continue to grow at rates comparable to those experienced in 2017. There are risks to the outlook. The primary risk is on-going monetary policy normalization as the Federal Reserve slowly ramps up policy interest rates. This creates some risks in financial markets and interest rate sensitive sectors such as housing and auto sales. 304 Governor's Budget Report FY 2019 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. Georgia personal income growth has slowed during 2015 and 2016 but has picked up a bit in the first two quarters of 2017. In the most recent quarter of 2017 Q2 personal income growth equaled 4.1% year over year. Wage and salary growth was slightly stronger at 4.3%. Overall, personal income is growing at a moderate pace with wage and income growth generally growing slightly more quickly. This highlights the solid performance of Georgia's labor market. 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 and now equals 4.3% as of October 2017. This is down from5.4% in October 2016 but above the U.S. unemployment rate of 4.1%. Unemployment rates are unlikely to decline much further as the national economy approaches full employment. Unemployment insurance claims are also low. Initial claims are below year ago levels as of early November 2017 and are running at or below prerecession levels. Labor Markets Georgia's labor market continued to grow during 2017. Over the 12 months ending in October 2017, non-farm employment in Georgia increased by 87,800 jobs. This equates to 2.0% year over year growth and exceeds the growth rate for U.S. non-farm employment over the same period of 1.4%. Over the last three months ending in October, non-farm employment growth has averaged 6,600 jobs per month. Employment growth across industry sectors has been well diversified during 2017. Sectors such as professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and finance, have averaged strong job growth over the last three months. Construction and manufacturing have averaged small job losses over the last three months. The declines in construction jobs is likely tied to the completion of two professional sports teams over the last year. Most Georgia metro areas are also seeing net job growth, with Athens, Savannah, and Atlanta having the highest year over year job growth on a three month moving average basis as of October. No Georgia metro area is suffering net job losses on a three month moving average year over year basis as of October 2016. Housing Sector Georgia's housing market is recovering. Residential building permits issued are trending up and are well above year ago levels.
