TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
This amended budget for Fiscal Year 2000 represents the adjustments that we can now make to invest our surplus funds into critical areas of state government. I am pleased to report that all of our reserves continue to be full. The revenue estimate for the current fiscal year is positive. As in last year's supplemental budget recommendation, I pledge to you that my administration will continue sound financial planning and use of our citizens' tax dollars.
I am pleased again this year to recommend that we carry forward $166 million of our surplus into Fiscal Year 2001 to continue my commitment to property tax relief for Georgia citizens.
In education, I am proposing that we get a jump start on reform efforts recommended by the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission by including $50 million in state and lottery funds for a comprehensive, statewide student information system. I have also included $11.4 million to continue and complete the development of Criterion Reference Competency Tests and begin the work on high school end-of-course tests for core subjects. These tests will provide the foundation for accountability for our education system and schools. Additionally, there is $66.9 million for mid-year adjustment for enrollment growth and $73.8 million for fast growth capital outlay for school systems. My bond package in this amended budget provides $281 million for new construction in our education agencies including $93 million for local school construction, $113 million for Regents new construction and $75 million for new construction of technical institute facilities.
For public safety, I am proposing to expand the number of transition, diversion and detention beds, as well as funding for improving the quality of facilities in the Department of Juvenile Justice. In the Department of Corrections, I am proposing $6.9 million in bond funds to match federal funds for an additional 1,243 new adult incarceration beds. Also, using a combination of bonds and federal matching funds, I propose to replace three Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) with new facilities and add to education, mental health, medical and supervisory space at three other existing facilities. These are changes necessitated by the Memorandum of Agreement that we entered into with the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Court. To improve-the ability of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to support local law enforcement in investigations and forensics, I am including $6.6 million to replace or add new Georgia Bureau of Investigation laboratory and morgue facilities in Savannah and Macon.

Technology is critically important to our economic development, education reform and creating a more effective state government. There is $23 million in this amended budget proposal to continue implementation of Investment for Modernization of computer systems in the Department of Revenue. I have included $10 million to pilot a student wireless computer project in selected schools in the state that will support recommendations of my education reform commission. Also, there is $36.2 million proposed to support economically driven research and development through the Georgia Research Alliance and the Yamacraw project, both aimed at strengthening our capacity to compete for technology based industries.
For continued economic prosperity, over $23 million is recommended for development of our tourism infrastructure in Augusta, Savannah, Jekyll Island and Bainbridge, leveraging over $70 million in other funds for this effort. I am also recommending $22.9 million in bonds for projects associated with the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center. I am proposing $100 million in bonds to continue construction of the Governor's Road Improvement Program. For expansion of our ports, I am recommending $18 million in bonds for new docks, $12 million in Ports Authority funds for equipment and property acquisition, and $8.7 million in bonds for projects to help maintain the Savannah Harbor navigation channel. There is $5.4 million recommended to fund buses for Clayton County and vans for regional van pools and for regional transit and transportation studies. I am including $5.9 million to be matched by $23.6 million in federal funds to initiate construction of the Atlanta Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal. Finally, $2.6 million in additional funding is provided for the Quick Start Program for the increasing number of projects for new and expanding businesses in Georgia.
Health care costs continue to increase beyond our current employee and employer revenues and it continues to be financially difficult to provide coverage to state and Board of Regents employees. This year we are recommending a supplementary appropriation of $263 million of the surplus to fund a projected deficit this year and to shore up our insurance reserves. Look for me to bring to you in the session potential solutions to solve this ongoing problem.
In the human resources area, I am proposing $3 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to begin assessments of TANF adults who have received benefits for 30 months. Also, I am recommending $3.5 million in additional funds for foster care and adoption programs.
Our economic success has provided the opportunity to make these investments that I am proposing in this amended budget. I think you will find this amended budget proposal to be a fiscally sound and prudent use of our taxpayers' resources. I pledge to continue this philosophy during my administration.

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF
LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM
State law (50-27-1 et. seq. O.C.G. A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: a voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and teacher technology training. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $704,527,475 for FY 2000, including surplus and agencies estimated lapse from FY 1999. The Governor recommends $704,527,475 for the following programs.
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten for Four-Year Olds
This program is designed to give Georgia's four-year olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $226,372,162 in FY 2000 to serve 62,900 four-year olds at public and private sites.
Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) and Other Scholarship Programs
These programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for FY 2000 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in 1993 and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE scholarship at any Georgia public institution or eligible private college in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE scholarship in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshmen year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE scholarships in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE scholarships in their sophomore year.
