TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

17

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEER, SPEAKER SMITH, DISTIN GUISHED MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE, GRACIOUS LADIES, HONORED GUESTS, MY FRIENDS AND FELLOW GEORGIANS:

I am honored to appear today before this gathering of Georgia's chosen leadership at the midpoint of our Administration, and at the climax for me of a decade of public service to our State Government.

It was ten years ago that I was privileged to take the oath for the first time as a Member of the General Assembly of Georgia.

Today, my mind goes back over those rewarding years, and my thoughts encompass the trials and tribulations which you and I have faced together, the work we have accomplished, and the warm friend ships we have made.

I shall forever cherish the memories of that decade.

Having served both as a member of the House and the Senate, I appreciate the problems, the pressures, and the aspirations of the Membership of this august body.

I am grateful for the help and support which you have given me in the past, and I solicit your continued support for the future. I assure you that you have my wholehearted assistance and understanding as you perform the duties entrusted to you by the people of Georgia.

Never in our lifetime, or in the history of our beloved State, has the path of our progress been so true, the future of our people so bright, or the economy of our State so prosperous.

In short, my friends, the State of our State is truly excellent! It is time now to look at the ledger.

I know that you take pride in what our partnership has accom plished.

--Georgians experienced last year the Nation's third largest in crease in per capita income;

--Capital investments for new and expanded industry more than doubled in 1964, and Georgia enjoyed her greatest year of industrial progress;

--Last year 19,300 new jobs were created for our citizens, and un employment in Georgia is at its lowest level in 10 years;

--In the last two years we have completed more highway construc tion--interstate, primary, and secondary roads--than in any compara ble period;

18

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

--Georgia's airport development program is Number One in the Nation;
--Tourism is now better than a $350,000,000 industry in Georgia;
--Our State Parks were visited by more than five million people last year, and parks revenue rose 120 per cent;
--Agricultural production and the per capita increase of farm income is at an all-time high.

Now, let me cite a few of the accomplishments of the agencies of our State Government.
--The Revenue Department has been reorganized, automated, and is collecting more revenue today than ever before. All Georgians, with no exceptions, are paying their fair share of the cost of operating their State Government.
--The Penal System has been revamped, our prison population has declined, and emphasis is now on rehabilitation, rather than punish ment. This will be accelerated with the construction of a classification center and new prison facility in Butts County.
--The Game and Fish Department has been reorganized, and is providing Georgians with their finest program of conservation, fish, and wildlife management.
--Georgia's system of public education, both in the common schools and University System, in the past two years has experienced its greatest growth and upgrading of quality.
--Teachers and college faculty members have received the largest salary increases of any like period, and by the end of our Administra tion, we will have added more than 10,000 new teachers and 900 college professors.
--The Department of Education, now one of the top six in the Nation, has been reorganized to provide greater economy and efficiency, and the Master Plan for Education--authorized by you last year--is well underway.
--The old Department of Public Welfare, renamed the Depart ment of Family and Children Services, has been reorganized, and a Division for Children and Youth established. Today we are providing the greatest benefits for the largest number of youth and senior citizens of all time.
--A constitutional Highway Board has been approved by the people.
--A new Water Quality Control Board has been established.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

19

--The Department of Public Health has been reconstituted, the Public Health Code completely rewritten.

--The new Department of Industry and Trade has embarked upon a revitalized program.

--In the field of mental health, we are implementing the largest program ever, including operation of a new mental health intensive treatment and training center, and construction of a $13,500,000 hos pital for mentally retarded children.

--During the last two years, 3,550 employees have been brought under the State Merit System. In the next two years, 5,800 more will be added.

--Funds were made available for the construction of the Police Academy.

--Acting together, we enacted the first statewide sheriffs' salary bill to eliminate the evils of the fee system.

--We enacted Georgia's first comprehensive elections code.

--We have moved decisively to eradicate speed traps and clip joints which preyed upon tourists going through our State.

These accomplishments have been brought about through sound, economical, and efficient operation of your State Government.
I assure you that, with your help, I will continue to improve the operation of our government. We will continue to effectuate all possible economies and efficiencies.
Our Administration already is instituting a self-insurance program for the State Government which ultimately will save the taxpayers of Georgia a minimum of a half-million-dollars a year.
While services to the people were increased nearly $7 per person last year, the relative administrative cost of providing these services decreased.
And significantly, we have achieved these magnificent accomplish ments within a balanced budget.
It is with pride that I present to you another balanced budget-- a budget from which over $130,000,000 dollars in agency requests have been eliminated--a budget which can be financed and which offers a new blueprint for further greatness for Georgia.

20

JOURNAL OP THE SENATE,

The budget calls for an expenditure of $583,000,000 in Fiscal 1966, and $628,000,000 in Fiscal 1967.

Let us reflect upon the fact that, by the end of the upcoming twoyear budget, we will be investing almost 60 cents of every dollar of the people's money in education. In four years, we will have invested $1,205,694,000 in the education and training of Georgians. This is nearly $400,000,000 more than in any previous four-year period of our history.

It is remarkable to note that, during our Administration, we will have allocated, for the common schools, $69,000,000 more than was spent for that purpose from 1871--when the statewide school system was created--until 1955, when I first took my seat in the General Assembly.

In higher education, we have the largest building program in his tory, and appropriations during our Administration will exceed the prior four years combined by 72 per cent.

Let me now mention some highlights of the new budget.
The section dealing with public schools provides:
--For teacher salary increases of $200 for the first year of the biennium; $300 for the second. These raises will become effective in September of each year, and will fulfill my repeated pledge to Georgia's teachers.
This Administration financed a $200 teacher raise granted in Fiscal 1963.
In Fiscal 1964, an additional raise of $300 was provided.
In Fiscal 1965, another $200 raise was allocated.
In the new budget, as already mentioned, in Fiscal 1966, $200; in Fiscal 1967, $300--making a grand total of $1,200 in teacher salary increases financed by this Administration.
The public schools budget also provides:
--For the first time, a State allotment of $42,500,000 to cover the employment of 4,985 other certified, professional personnel;
--Funds for 2,077 additional classroom teachers;
--Five million, three hundred ninety-one thousand, two hundred dollars for consumable instructional materials, the first such program in Georgia.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

21

--An additional $366,000 for vocational rehabilitation;

--An additional $1,461,000 dollars for area vocational trade schools;

--A total of $1,254,000 for the first increase in school transporta tion allotments in six years.
--One million, eight hundred seventeen thousand dollars for a State-wide educational television network, which will be in operation by the close of this Administration.

--An additional $222,000 for a computer system to bring about complete modernization of the reporting and accounting systems of the Department of Education.

--One hundred sixty thousand dollars each year for the Governor's Honors Program for Georgia's brightest students.

In summary, budget recommendations for the public schools provide a $19,500,000 increase for Fiscal 1966, and an increase of $38,000,000 for Fiscal 1967, or a total operating increase of $57,000,000.

The budget recommendations for the University System provide for:
--First, an increase of 5 per cent in faculty salaries during the first year of the new budget, and an additional 7% per cent increase in the second year, together with a 5 per cent increase each year for non-academic employees. These increases follow the 15% per cent in crease in faculty salaries provided the first two years of our Adminis tration.
--Second, 679 new faculty members at a cost of $7,859,000 in order to provide teachers for the 16-thousand additional students coming into our colleges during this Administration.
--Third, $1,717,000 for an additional 415 non-faculty employees.
--Fourth, a substantial operating increase for research programs and graduate training, and, for the first time, funds for full utilization of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital.
--Fifth, the opening and operation of six new junior colleges located at Dalton, Albany, Gainesville, Marietta, Decatur and Bruns wick.
--Sixth, the conversion of Augusta College, Georgia Southwestern College in Americus, and Armstrong College in Savannah, into fouryear degree-granting institutions.

22

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

The budget provides funds for two new scholarship programs em bodied in the constitutional amendments passed by the General Assem bly and approved by the people.

We will provide 450 scholarships each year to qualified students desiring to study in the paramedical fields, and guarantee low-interest student loans, to provide every Georgia boy and girl an opportunity to go to college--two other "firsts" for our Administration.

In short, this budget document provides the greatest emphasis on education our State has ever known.

Our Administration is the first to mount a major attack on the problems associated with the children and youth of our State.

We will continue our efforts by constructing six regional detention homes, at a cost of $1,200,000, to eliminate the appalling practice of putting disturbed children in common jails.

We will put a juvenile court worker in each of Georgia's 40 judicial circuits.

An additional $1,200,000 will provide hospital and medical care for dependent children--for the first time and will enable the Children and Youth Division to increase its foster care program.

It is time that we take these "lost" boys and girls by the hand-- children who have been less fortunate, who need help and guidance-- and, as public officials, embrace them with all the love and affection which we would show to our own children.

We have talked about our programs for youth. Now let us turn to our Senior Citizens.
There are nearly 100,000 Georgians over 65 not receiving Old Age Assistance whose incomes are not sufficient to meet major medical expenses.
Therefore, I am recommending implementation of the Medical Assistance to the Aged Section of the Kerr-Mills Program.
This should be done irrespective of what might occur on the Fed eral level. It will provide, for the first time in Georgia, a medical care program for citizens over 65.
(During the four years of the present Administration, welfare assistance grants, including medical care for the truly needy persons of our State, will have increased from $93,500,000 to $116,000,000.)

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

In the vital field of public health, I have recommended increases totaling more than $8,600,000.

There is an increase of $1,000,000 in the regular operations budget of the Health Department for operating new institutions and providing grants to counties to expand health services.

The major increases for the Health Department are a result of the vital need to upgrade and maintain the quality of the Milledgeville and Gracewood facilities.

The Milledgeville State Hospital operating budget is being increased by $3,000,000. This will provide 439 new staff members, and will allow improved food services, renovation of sub-standard facilities, more doc tors and medical supplies.

Gracewood is to receive an additional $900,000 dollars for 151 staff additions and more personal care for the patients.

The budget increases for mental health during our Administration will have been the greatest, percentagewise, in State history.

Georgia's modernized Highway Department has made great strides toward meeting today's road needs, and providing a more efficient highway operation.
The new budget, due to increases in highway user revenues, pro vides for an increase of $8,800,000 in the first year, and $11,300,000 in the second year.
State and Federal funds for highway construction for the next two years will total more than $337,000,000, and this is in addition to the $400,000,000 road program already under commitment or construc tion in Georgia.

For the Department of Industry and Trade, the budget provides an increase of $2,200,000.
This will include:
Four hundred ninety-seven thousand dollars each year for the area planning and development program;
One million dollars for the Tourist Division; A $200,000 annual increase for advertising; A $423,000 increase for the Research Division; And $671,000 for the Industry Division.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

These recommendations will provide our State with its greatest impetus for industrial development.

The Department of Agriculture will have a budget of $6,200,000 for Fiscal 1966, and $6,500,000 for Fiscal 1967. This will provide for a full meat inspection program, and continue to assure the highest quality of agricultural goods for Georgia families.

An increase of $1,700,000 for the Board of Corrections will mod ernize our correctional facilities, continue to upgrade the quality of personnel, and institute the first program of rehabilitative prison indus tries in Georgia's history.
Increases for the Parole and Probation Boards will allow these agencies to carry out their responsibilities in the penal reform program.
The increased budget of the Forestry Commission of $900,000 for the first year and $964,000 for the second places all the employees of this major department under Merit System standards, and will keep Georgia in the forefront of forest conservation activities.

The $1,129,000 increase in the budget for the Department of Public Safety for Fiscal 1966, and the $1,600,000 increase for Fiscal 1967, will provide our State with 80 more State patrolmen, 37 additional drivers' license examiners, and funds for our new drivers' license pro gram, a Police Academy staff, and construction of four new State Patrol Stations.

The new budget provides funding for a new $6,000,000 ports pro gram, including major additions at Savannah and Brunswick, as well as improvements at all other State Port facilities.

There is also an operating budget increase of nearly $500,000 for our Parks Department, as well as a one and one-half million dollar bond program for improvement of our State Parks facilities.

The budget for the Game and Fish Department provides an increase of more than $500,000, making a total budget allocation of $3,728,000.

It was my privilege as a member of the General Assembly to help sponsor and pass the first legislation authorizing direct grants to municipalities. As Governor, two years ago I recommended the first legislative appropriation for direct grants to our cities and towns.
The time has arrived to recognize the municipalities of our State as full partners in the operation of our Government.
Therefore, I propose that we increase the appropriation from $1,000,000 to $6,000,000 for municipalities during the first year of the

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965

25

biennium, and from $1,000,000 to $9,300,000 during the second year, giving a two-year total of $15,300,000 in direct grants.

Now, let me say something about the next two years. In many in stances in the past history of our State, the first half of an Administra tion was devoted to the people . . . the second half to politics. This is not going to happen this time. This Administration will become a lameduck Administration at high noon on January 10th, 1967 . . . and not one minute before!

Before concluding, I would like to say a word about reapportionment of the House of Representatives.
As you know, we are under an order of the Court to reapportion at this Session. Therefore, we have no choice in this matter, except the choice of doing it properly, or leaving it to the Courts.
As for me, I want this Legislature--stemming as it does from the grassroots of Georgia, with its hand on the pulse of every citizen and its ear attuned to the heartbeat of our people--to do this job.
I realize that this is a matter affecting the internal composition of the Membership of the Legislative Branch of the State Government. Recognizing the doctrine of separation of powers, and respecting your sovereign prerogatives, I will not presume to suggest any plan of action.
At the same time, I wish to assure you that I will offer any help or cooperation which you may deem proper in effecting a solution to this dilemma.
I am confident that, during this Session, you can and will arrive at a plan acceptable to the great majority of the General Assembly, and in the best interests of the more than 4-million citizens of our State.
In conclusion, let me remind you of what each of us already knows, but must always remember:
Our tasks require strength and courage, endurance and pride;
Our duties demand conviction and self-respect, attention and action;
Our goals implore responsibility and reason, purpose and prayer.
Let us ever look up, not down;
Look forward, not back.

JOURNAL OP THE SENATE,

It is for history to honor the past; but it is for us to honor the present.

Let us stand together now in common and united purpose to accom plish jointly what each would achieve separately. By so doing, a victory for all is a victory for each, each of the 4-million 100-thousand citizens of our State; and these years, then, forever will be remembered as Georgia's Golden Era of Growth and Greatness.

"SECTION II.

"Paragraph 1. Home Rule for Counties.

(a) The governing authority of each county shall have legis lative power to adopt clearly reasonable ordinances, resolutions or regulations relating to its property, affairs and local govern ment for which no provision has been made by general law and which is not inconsistent with this Constitution, or any local law applicable thereto. Any such local law shall remain in force and effect until amended or repealed as provided in Subparagraph (b). This, however, shall not restrict the authority of the General As sembly by general law to further define this power or to broaden, limit or otherwise regulate the exercise thereof. The General As sembly shall not pass any local law to repeal, modify or supersede any action taken by a county governing authority under this Sec tion except as authorized under Subparagraph (c) hereof.

(b) Except as provided in Subparagraph (c), a county may, as an incident of its home rule power, amend or repeal the local acts applicable to its governing authority by following either of the procedures hereinafter set forth:

1. Such local acts may be amended or repealed by a resolution or ordinance duly adopted at two regular consecutive meetings of the county governing authority not less than seven nor more than sixty days apart. A notice containing a synopsis of the proposed amendment or repeal shall be published in the official county organ once a week for three weeks within a period of sixty days immedi ately preceding its final adoption. Such notice shall state that a copy of the proposed amendment or repeal is on file in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county for the purpose of examination and inspection by the public. No amendment or repeal hereunder shall be valid to change or repeal an amendment adopted pursuant to a referendum as provided in 2. of this Subparagraph or to change or repeal a local act of the General As sembly ratified in a referendum by the electors of such county unless at least twelve months have elapsed after such referendum. No amendment hereunder shall be valid if inconsistent with any provision of this Constitution or if provision has been made there for by general law.

2. Amendments to or repeals of such local acts or ordinances, resolutions or regulations adopted pursuant to Subparagraph (a) hereof may be initiated by a petition filed with the ordinary of the county containing the signatures of at least ten per centum of the electors of the county registered to vote in the last general election, which petition shall specifically set forth the exact lan guage of the proposed amendment or repeal. The ordinary shall

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1965

determine the validity of such petition. In the event the ordinary determines that such petition is valid, it shall be his duty to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting such amend ment or repeal to the registered electors of the county for their approval or rejection.

REPORT OF THE INTERIM COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE FEASI BILITY OF PLACING THE SOUTHERN COLLEGE OF PHARMACY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS.
INTRODUCTION:
At the 1964 special session, the Senate passed Resolution No. 28 creating an interim committee to study the feasibility and advisability of placing the Southern College of Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents. Senator Dan I. Maclntyre, III of the 40th was appointed chairman, and the other members of the committee are Senators Jack C. Fincher, Sr. of the 51st, Paul C. Broun of the 46th, J. Battel Hall of the 52nd, Frank E. Coggin of the 35th and Leroy R. Johnson of the 38th.

386

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

In the spring of 1964 the Southern College of Pharmacy, a division of Mercer University, requested the Board of Regents to make the Southern College of Pharmacy a part of Georgia State College. Pur suant to such request made of the Board of Regents, on May 15, 1964, a Resolution was unanimously adopted which stated the following: "Resolved that the Board of Regents shall and it does hereby declare, in its opinion, the acceptance of the proposal that the Southern College of Pharmacy be made a part of the Georgia State College at this time would not be in the best interest of the State of Georgia.
"Resolved further that the Board of Regents shall and it does here by express its sincere hope that the Southern College of Pharmacy can secure the financial support necessary to enable it to continue opera tion; that at the time conditions are such that it would be feasible and desirable of the University System to undertake to operate two schools of pharmacy, the Board of Regents will again consider the matter."
An organizational meeting of the committee was called by the Chairman and held on December 11, 1964. At this meeting the members decided to visit the School of Pharmacy at the University of Georgia in Athens, to visit the Southern College of Pharmacy, to discuss the problem with the Board of Regents, to interview the Joint-Secretary of the State Examining Boards, and to seek information from any other sources which might aid the committee to reach a satisfactory conclu sion.
Extent of Study--Shortly after the organizational meeting, the School of Pharmacy at the University of Georgia was visited. Dean Waters and his staff made a complete report and the new facilities were inspected by the committee. The new pharmacy building contains 96,000 sq. ft. and was completed in 1964 for a total cost of around $2,000,000.00. The Dean explained that with the new facility the School is capable of enrolling approximately 600 students with a graduate class of approximately 200. In his opinion, these capacities exceed all known estimates of manpower needs for pharmacists in the State of Georgia. He emphasized that no qualified student has ever been denied admission and that financial assistance for qualified students is readily available through several loan and scholarship funds.
In addition to the regular degree at the University of Georgia, an excellent graduate school is available in Athens. The research program has been bolstered and upgraded by the expanded facilities. The Com mittee was most impressed with the facilities, professional staff, and overall program offered at the University.
During the latter part of December, the Committee visited the Southern College of Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia. Dean Oliver M. Littlejohn met with us and explained the problem. In the spring of 1964 the financial condition of the Southern College of Pharmacy was in such a serious condition that it was doubtful whether the school would be able to continue operations in September of 1964. The school was granted only one year's accreditation by the National Accreditation Bureau because of its unstable financial condition. An immediate at-

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1965

387

tempt to improve the condition was made. Since that time a grant of $55,000.00 per year has been made to the school for operating expenses, $20,000.00 of which was dependent upon the college raising an addi tional $20,000.00. The chairman of the college's board of directors stated that the campaign to raise the additional $20,000.00 had begun and should be completed in the near future. The $75,000.00 additional money for operating expenses temporarily solves the financial difficulties. This grant is guaranteed for a three-year period.

Dean LittleJohn explained the program and the committee toured the physical facilities.

Even though the physical facilities do not compare with those at the University of Georgia, the committee was most impressed with the overall operation and the contribution that the Southern College of Pharmacy has made to pharmaceutical education in Georgia, and com mends Dean Littlejohn and his staff for the fine job they are doing. The college furnishes a pharmaceutical degree but does not have a graduate school. They do not plan to furnish graduate degrees in the future.

The committee interviewed Dr. Walter Martin, Vice Chancellor of the University System. Dr. Martin explained that he had researched the request for the Board of Regents. In his opinion, which was shared by the Board of Regents, it is of great importance that among the insti tutions in the State of Georgia there should be a minimum of duplica tion of eeffort, especially in the professional and technical fields. He felt that the new facility at the University of Georgia was adequate and sufficient to take care of the need for pharmacists in the future. The operating budget of the Southern College of Pharmacy is approxi mately $120,000.00 for 120 students. The operating budget for the School of Pharmacy at the University of Georgia is approximately $265,000.00 for approximately 275 students. Dr. Martin wrote the deans of several pharmaceutical schools throughout the country, and it was the con census that one state-supported school of pharmacy was sufficient for the needs of Georgia. It was the feeling of the committee, as well as many pharmacists who are interested in the continuation of the South ern College of Pharmacy, that research should continue to determine whether two state-supported schools of pharmacy might be advanta geous in the future.
The committee visited Mr. C. L. Clifton, Joint Secretary of the State Examining Boards, in an attempt to determine the future needs for pharmacists. Recommendations from the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education were requested. The general concensus is that with the population of Georgia increasing by approximately 100,000 annually, approximately 150 new pharmacists will be needed to replace those lost due to death or retirement and to take care of expanding opportunities.

More significant points to be decided, however, are whether there are communities in Georgia without a pharmacist and whether there will be a shortage in the overall demand for pharmacists in the future.

388

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

Relating to the whole question is the inescapable fact that greater Atlanta is a rapidly expanding metropolis where heavier concentra tions of all health professions are bound to develop and from where more professional students are bound to come. This raises such ques tions as: Is it too far, expensive or inconvenient to commute to Athens or to live away from home? How essential is it to live in Atlanta to finance an education? How closely associated with the alleged need for a college in Atlanta is the need for sub-professional help on the part of Atlanta pharmacists? In addition to the fact that potential pharmaceutical students can now take two years of pre-pharmacy work in Atlanta, are there other ways that the University of Georgia could be useful to the profession in Atlanta?

RECOMMENDATIONS

After careful study and deliberations, the committee feels strongly that since the life of the committee was approximately one month, suf ficient time was not available to arrive at a definite conclusion. How ever, based on the limited information the committee was able to secure in the short period referred to above, the committee does not suggest the immediate placing of the Southern College of Pharmacy under the Board of Regents, but does recommend that the Board of Regents retain an open mind as to this matter. It was also recommended that a new interim committee be created at the 1965 session to continue this study.

The committee wishes to thank all of those people who rendered assistance and recommend that a copy of this report be sent to the Governor, each member of the Board of Regents, the University of Georgia School of Pharmacy, the Southern College of Pharmacy, Mercer University, and be made available for other interested persons. The committee expresses its appreciation to the staff of the Office of the Legislative Counsel for its able assistance.

Respectfully submitted,

Dan I. Maclntyre, III Senator, 40th District
Jack C. Pincher, Sr. Senator, 51st District
Paul C. Broun Senator, 46th District

Employer and employee contributions for such official for the period from January 1, 1953, to January 1, 1965, are hereby determined to be the amount that would have accumulated with interest at four and one-quarter percent com pounded annually as employer and employee contributions during such period had such official been receiving monthly compensation equal to the official's reported monthly earnable compensation for February, 1965.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

"74-9902. Abandonment of child; husband and wife as wit nesses; 'dependent condition'; effect of former conviction or ac quittal.--If any father or mother shall wilfully and voluntarily abandon his or her child, either legitimate or illegitimate, leaving it in a dependent condition, he or she, as the case may be, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor: Provided, however, if any father or mother shall wilfully and voluntarily abandon his or her child, either legitimate or illegitimate, leaving it in a dependent condi tion, and shall leave this State he or she, as the case may be, shall be guilty of a felony and shall, upon conviction, be imprisoned in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than three years, which shall be reducible to a misdemeanor. The wife and husband shall be competent witnesses, in such cases to testify for or against the other. A child thus abandoned by the father or mother shall be considered to be in a dependent condition when the father or mother charged with the offense does not furnish sufficient food, clothing or shelter for the needs of the child. The offense of abandonment shall be and is hereby declared to be a continuing offense. Former acquittal or conviction of said offense shall not be a bar to further prosecution therefor under this section, if it shall be made to appear that said child was in a dependent condition as defined herein for a period of 30 days prior to the commencement of prosecution.

"Provided, however, that any person, upon conviction of the third offense for violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a felony and shall, upon conviction thereof, be imprisoned in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than three years, which felony shall not be reducible to a misdemeanor by any judge presiding at the trial as provided in Code Section 27-2501.

"Provided, however, if during the trial of any person charged with the offense defined in this section, and such person contends that he or she is not the father or mother, as the case may be, of the child alleged to have been abandoned, the trial judge shall charge the jury that if its verdict is for the acquittal of such person, and that its reason for so finding is that such person is not the father or mother of the child allged to have been aban doned, that its verdict shall so state, or if the person charged with the offense defined in this section is tried before the court without the intervention of the jury and the court renders a verdict of acquittal based on the contention of such person that he or she is not the father or mother, as the case may be, of the child alleged to have been abandoned, the trial judge shall so state this fact in his verdict of acquittal. In the event the verdict of the jury or the
court shall be for acquittal of such person, and its reason for so doing is that such person is not the father or mother of the child alleged to have been abandoned, such person cannot thereafter
again be tried for the offense of abandoning said child, and said verdict shall be a bar to all civil and criminal proceedings attempt ing to compel such person to support said child."

Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

SB 79. By Senators Thompson of the 34th, Coggin of the 35th, Maclntyre of the 40th and others:
A bill to amend an act entitled "College Park City Charter Amendment" approved Jan. 31, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432-454), and the several acts amendatory thereof, with reference to city employees pension plan; to provide benefits, rules and regulations for pension payments; and for other purposes.

The House Committee on Local Affairs offered the following substitute:
A BILL
To amend an Act entitled "College Park City Charter Amendment" approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. Laws 1946, pp. 432-454), and the sev eral Acts amendatory thereof, so as to provide an alternate pension plan for employees now employed by the City of College Park who may elect to accept the benefits of such alternate plan and for all employees who may hereafter enter the service of said City; to provide benefits and rules and regulations for the payment of benefits to retired em ployees and their dependents; and for other purposes."
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OP GEORGIA:
That the Act entitled "College Park City Charter Amendment" ap proved January 30, 1946 (Ga. Laws 1946, pp. 432-454), and the several Acts amendatory thereof, be further amended as follows:
Section 1. The pension benefits provided by this Section and the several subsections of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, shall be in lieu of the pension benefits provided to employees under laws affording pension benefits to employees of the City of College Park in existence prior to the adoption of this Act approved by the General Assembly during the year 1965.
(a) Any officer or employee of the City of College Park who was so employed on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1965, and who is otherwise eligible for pension benefits under the Act approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432-454) and the several amendatory Acts thereof, may elect to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, and the several subsections hereof, in lieu of other pension benefits and obligations which the applicant might have been entitled to from the City of College Park under the pension plan of the City of College Park as same existed prior to the effective

FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1985

845

date of this amendatory Act of 1965, to the extent that the provisions of this amendatory Act are in conflict with prior Acts establishing or amending the Pension Plan for employees of the City of College Park. All officers and employees employed by the city on the effective date of this Act, who do not in writing elect to accept the benefits and obliga tions of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, and the several subsections hereof, shall have their rights and obligations with respect to the employees pension plan of the City of College Park determined under the law as it existed prior to this amendment of 1965. Employees and officers of the City who become employed by the City after the effective date of this amendment of 1965 shall have their benefits and obligations with respect to the pension plan of the City of College Park determined with reference to and fixed by the provisions of said pen sion plan as amended by this amendatory Act of 1965.

(b) Any officer or employee of the City of College Park who elects to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act of 1965, and the several subsections hereof, or who becomes employed by said City subsequent to the effective date of this Act, and who re tires as a matter of right, shall be entitled to receive a service pension in an amount equal to two per cent (2%) of the first three hundred dollars ($300.00) of his average monthly salary, plus one and one-half percent (1%%) of his average monthly salary over three hundred dollars ($300.00), multiplied by the number of years of service. For example, an employee who retires as a matter of right after 25 years of service, whose average monthly salary is $500.00, is entitled to a monthly pension in the amount of $225.00, determined as follows: 2% of the first $300.00 of average monthly salary equals six dollars ($6.00). One and one-half percent of the average monthly salary over $300.00 (which excess is $200.00 in this illustration) equals three dollars ($3.00). The sum of $6.00 and $3.00 thus obtained (or $9.00) is then multiplied by 25 (the numbers of years of service) to arrive at the monthly pension of $225.00.

(c) The sum of five percent (5%) of the salary or wages of offi cers and employees coming under the provisions of this Section 1 of this amendatory Act, and the subsections hereof, and who do not provide for the payment of a pension to a widow or minor child or children, shall be deducted from the salary or wages earned by such officers and employees during each calendar month. The sum of six percent (6%) of the salary or wages of officers and employees coming under the pro visions of this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act, and the subsections hereof, and who desire that the employee's widow or minor child or children succeed to the employee's rights as a pensioner (as authorized by the Act of 1946, Ga. L. 1946, Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432-454), shall be de ducted from the salary or wages earned by such officers and employees during each calendar month.

(d) With respect to officers and employees in the service of the City on the date this Amendatory Act becomes effective, and who elect to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this Act of 1965, the sums required to be paid as deductions from salary or wages under this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act of 1965, and the subsections hereof, shall be deducted from all sums paid such officers and employees as salary or wages subsequent to the date on which the officer or em-

846

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

ployee files with the Pension Board a written application to elect to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act of 1965. With respect to persons coming into the service of the City after the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1965, an employee's con tributions shall commence after such employee's probational period (as described in Section 7 of the Act of 1946, Ga. L. 1946, p. 448) has been served.
(e) Any person in the service of the City on the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1965, who elects to come under the provisions of this Section 1 of this Amendatory Act, and the subsections hereof, and who shall voluntarily retire within three years immediately follow ing the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1965, shall pay into the Pension Fund an amount which, when added to the amounts de ducted by the City, will equal the total amount that would have been deducted during such three year period had the person remained in the service of the City for the full three year period at the salary or wages he was drawing at the time of his retirement. Such payment shall be made within six months after retirement. In case the required payment is not made within said six months period, the Pension Board shall collect the amount by deductions from future pension payments, in such amounts as the Board may fix, whether such payments are made to the employee or a surviving widow or children designated as beneficiary by the employee. Past due payments shall bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum. No payments shall be required in case of involuntary retirement, but shall be required in case of death of an employee, within three years of the date of approval of this Amenda tory Act, who has designated a widow or minor children as beneficiary to succeed to the employee's rights as a pensioner, where the widow or minor children designated are eligible for and actually receive pension payments.
(f) There is hereby added to Section 4 of the Act approved Janu ary 30, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, pp. 432, 448), following the sentence ending with the word "widowhood" on the fifth line from the top of page 448, the following provision:

"Provided that if a widow of the pensioner receiving service pension benefits is more than five (5) years younger than the pen sioner, there shall be deducted from her pension one-twelfth (1/12) of two percent (2%) per month for each month that she is more than five (5) years younger than the pensioner; provided, however, that said reduction of one-twelfth (1/12) of two percent (2%) shall not apply if the widow is fifty-five years or more of age at the time she becomes eligible for benefits.

"The words minor 'child' or 'children' shall mean the natural or legally adopted minor child or children of an employee who were in life or adopted prior to the pensioner's retirement from Active Service."

(g) The following sentence contained in Section 2 of the Act of 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, p. 432), commencing in the eleventh line from the top of page 442 of said Acts, is deleted in its entirety, to wit: "The

FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1965

amount of pension allowed for disability shall never exceed the sum of $100.00 per month in any instance." And the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

"The amount of pension allowed for disability shall never ex ceed the sum of $100.00 per month with respect to employees in the employ of the City prior to July 1, 1965, who retain their status in the pension plan of the City as said plan existed prior to the year 1965."

(h) There is hereby added to the aforesaid Act approved January 30, 1946 (Ga. L. 1946, p. 432), as amended, the following provisions:

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

HB 646. By Messrs. Pope and Coker of Cherokee:
A bill to amend Section 84-1031 of the Code of Georgia to provide for an increase of per diem pay for the Board of Examiners of Practical Nurses of Georgia; and for other purposes.

Senator Webb of the llth asked unanimous consent that the following re marks be incorporated in the journal:
Mr. President,
Gentlemen of the Senate:
For the first time, and I sincerely hope for the last time for rea sons similar to those you will hear this morning, I speak to you on a point of personal privilege.
Less than one week ago, on Tuesday, March 2, I advocated from this well the passage by this body of a Substitute to HB 43. As origi nally sent to us, HB 43 was innocuous. That small House Bill was enlarged, at my request, from a two page bill to an eight page omnibus, to include proposals in two Senate Bills which provide creditable serv ice toward retirement for certain individuals and also others not in cluded in the two Senate Bills. So the sled of innocuity of the original HB 43 was changed to a vehicle of much larger proportions, and I was either the goat or the jackass pulling that cart depending upon one's point of view.
Let me say to you here and now that this was not a measure sought by the administration, by either the Governor or the Lieutenant Gover nor. Neither of them had ever talked with me about it. What I am say ing now, and what I shall propose this morning, likewise is not at the suggestion of either.
In yesterday's edition of the Atlanta Journal and the Constitution, the lead line of a front page news item read as follows: "A greasedthrough pension bill will cost taxpayers at least $300,000.00 to cover the costs of vastly liberalized benefits for a dozen or so State officials, an investigation disclosed Saturday."
Imagine my amazement and consternation! Prior to explaining to you gentlemen, the bill as amended, I requested one of the beneficiaries and chief proponents of the legislation to ascertain and tell me what the proposal would cost the State of Georgia, that is, the initial deposit that would be required from the State departments for the account of all those covered by the bill if all of them elected to pay and receive the additional creditable service benefits provided by this legislation. The figure told me just before I spoke on the measure on that date was $13,600.00. From this well, in answer to a question from one of you gentlemen, I stated to all of you substantially the following: "I have been informed by a person in position to know, and in response to my request for that information, that the initial cost to the State will be $13,600.00."

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1965

871

I further said to you "I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of that statement."

Now, gentlemen of this Senate, I stand before you to say my investigation, prompted by the news article to which I referred, re veals that the figure I gave to you was grossly in error. The correct figure more nearly approximates $100,000, and this is only a prelimi nary figure, some eight times the figure I stated to you.

I do not stand before you to say that legislative service should not be considered in determining creditable service toward retirement for a career State employee, because I do think it worthy of consideration. I do not say that no one of those covered by the bill should have the additional creditable service allowed by it.

What I do say here this morning is this:

Had I known the correct figure, I would not have advocated passage of the bill. Had you known it, I question whether you would have passed the bill which I explained.

I confess that I have had some question in my mind about the several retirement bills which have come before this body. Last week I resolved that this whole question of retirement benefits needs looking into, and early Friday I requested the Legislative Counsel to pre pare a resolution to this body calling for a committee to study the question and report its findings and recommendations to the next Session. I announced to the Rules Committee Friday that the Senator from the 20th District would join me in the introduction of such a Reso lution, and it will have its first reading this morning.

Some question has been raised as to whether the Governor is in cluded in the bill. I am of the opinion that he is not. I believe the Lieu tenant Governor is included. The Speaker of the House is named in the bill, but I think he is not covered. In any event, the legislation was never discussed by me with any of those three officials prior to its passage.
I do not name the individual who gave me the incorrect figure of $13,600.00--such would serve no useful purpose. He has positively assured me that the figure of $13,600.00 he told me is exactly what he was told by the person administering the retirement benefits. I do not impugn the motives or question the integrity of either of them. I do not criticize any of those who wanted the bill. That is not my purpose be fore you this morning.
I come before you this morning to admit my own error. I value my integrity. I value your respect. When I stand before you to speak, you have a right to believe that I am endeavoring to give you correct statements to the best of my belief and ability, and I have a duty to do that. You may not always agree with what I say, but when you do, I never want your approval to be based upon any incorrect information I may have given. You have accorded me respect and friendship, honor and cooperation, far beyond my desert. I am both grateful and humble.

872

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

Gentlemen of the Senate, even though the mistake was uninten tional and was based upon information supplied to me, I feel responsi ble, so I respectfully and hereby apologize.

A mistake I have made. By that mistake, as I see it, I have led this Senate, and as a consequence the House, into accepting a substan tial amendment. It is now law.

If I can correct a mistake I have made in this Senate, I owe it to myself and to those whose respect I esteem, to try to do so. I have a duty to this Senate, to its presiding officer, and to you gentlemen. I have that duty to the other House of the General Assembly. I have that duty to the Governor of this State. More than to all of these, I have that duty to the people of this State and to my God.

Fully realizing there are some who surely ought to be benefitted may for the present be deferred, but believing that they will be the first to approve what I am doing, and without any reproach on the intent of others or any reflection upon their integrity, solely in an effort to erase this legislative mistake, I have had prepared for intro duction today a bill to repeal the Act known as HB 43, and to restore it as it was when it came to us. At the proper time, if you will give your unanimous consent for the first reading this morning of the new bill, that will be done. If it is the sense of the General Assembly to leave the law as it is, or to enact other legislation on the subject, so be it, but let the General Assembly do whatever it does with accurate rather than erroneous information.

I thank you, Mr. President, for so graciously affording me this op portunity, and you gentlemen of the Senate for so attentively listening to me. I earnest and sincerely seek the assistance of all of you in a con tinuing effort to serve our State and its people honorably, worthily and properly.

Senator Dean of the 6th asked unanimous consent that the following state ment be incorporated in the journal:
"I voted against House Bill 43. I voted against that bill because I thought it was special class legislation. I voted against it because it proivded increased pension benefited for just a few state officials. I voted against it because it discriminated against twenty-two thousand fine state employees who were not being given the same consideration as those officials named in the bill.
"In short, I voted against House Bill 43 because I did not think it was a good bill."

The consent was granted.

Senator Dean of the 6th asked unanimous consent that the following remarks be incorporated in the Journal, and the consent was granted:
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE:
I'm mindful of the fact that reapportionment is a case that ad dresses itself in a primary sense to the House of Representatives, not the Senate. But in a larger sense, this usurpation of power by the Federal Judicial addresses itself to each and every person in Georgia.

980

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

One hundred and eighty-nine years ago on July the Fourth, our forefathers ignited a spark of independence that blazed into a torch of freedom.

One of the basic ideas, one of the basic tenets of free men every where, that led to this nation's fight for independence and freedom was the struggle against taxation without representation. The Ameri can colonies were paying taxes to the British crown with little or no say in the operation for their government.
Today we are on the verge of seeing history repeat itself. The fed eral courts are determined to change, pervert, make a mockery of the very foundations of our state--in fact, it would seem they are deter mined to change, pervert, make a mockery of the foundations on which this great republic of the United States was built.
If the federal courts are successful in doing this, and indeed they will be if we pass this reapportionment plan now before us, then surely history will be repeating itself.
Many people in many areas of our state will certainly be paying the same, if indeed not more, taxes, and they will have less representation if this scheme of the United States Supreme Court to put both of our legislative houses on purely a population basis is allowed by us here to be brought into being.
Truly, gentlemen, I say to you that if we allow the House of Repre sentatives to be apportioned on purely population factors, and no further consideration is given within these two august bodies of the Georgia General Assembly to factors such as regional interests, politi cal subdivisions and economic realities, then surely we will have brought back conditions similar to those of 1776.
We will have caused many of our own people to lose representation in their government.
But, gentlemen, I say we should not at this time reapportion the House of Representatives. Indeed, I say we do not have the right to reapportion.
To reapportion by statute the House during this session may well be a violation of the Constitution of Georgia--specifically Article XIII (13), which provides that a proposed amendment to the state constitu tion can only become a part of the constitution after having been rati fied by a majority vote of the people of Georgia at a general election.

The present apportionment of the House is pursuant to Section III of the state constitution. Federal court decisions and orders have held that this section violates the federal constitution, making an amend ment to that section mandatory in the view of the court. However, no federal court has yet held that the Georgia Constitution of 1945 is void, or that Article XIII (13) of that Constitution, which prescribes the method of amendment, is void.

TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1965

981

The Court did not order that the General Assembly ignore the Con stitution of Georgia from which it derives its authority. The District Court only required such action as necessary for the General Assembly "to be reapportioned in accordance with Constitutional requirements." As the Supreme Court expressed it in the leading case of Reynolds V. Simms (1964), "clearly, courts should attempt to accommodate the relief ordered to the apportionment provisions of State constitutions insofar as possible."

The Georgia Constitution states that "All government, of right, originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is in stituted solely for the good of the whole." These are not idle words. They state a basic philosophy.

We must have a philosophy. If we set out in life without a prin cipal to guide our direction, we may wind up in Hell. If you begin ignor ing the people's Constitution, you may wind up with dictatorship.

So, if the General Assembly should attempt to reapportion itself by statute to comply with the orders of the federal courts, it may well be opening a Pandora's Box of lawsuits in the future.

Gentlemen of the Senate, the federal judiciary is, in effect, holding a gun to our head and telling us to pull the trigger ourselves. Gentle men, I will not be a party to suicide.

I would rather say to the federal courts: "You go ahead and pull the trigger; I will not!"

There is a line of reasoning presently being put forth which says that by reapportioning ourselves we will be exercising our own will and thereby preserving at least a morsel of states' rights. Gentlemen, this is simply not true. When someone holds a gun to your head and tells you to pull the trigger, and you do so--then you are not exercising your own will--you have simply been the means by which the gunman has exercised his will.

Gentlemen, there may yet be several means by which we can avoid committing suicide. There may even be ways in which we can step out of the way of that gun being held to our heads.

This Assembly has already passed a resolution calling for a con stitutional amendment to allow states with bicameral legislatures to apportion one of their houses on factors other than population.

Efforts are now under way within the halls of the national Con gress to amend the Constitution of the United States so that these unwarranted incursions by the Supreme Court into state governments can be stopped.

It may be that these several efforts may be a long time in bearing fruit. It may be they will never come to pass. However, let us not here subvert these good efforts that are now being made by kowtowing to

982

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

a power hungry court and passing at this time a reapportionment bill-- a bill that we may well have no right to pass--but certainly a bill that will weaken and sap the strength of whatever efforts are now being put forth to stop the inroads of the federal judiciary.

I would commend to the attention of this body a plan proposed before the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut. This proposal in effect declares that the mandate issued by the Supreme Court in respect to reapportionment of state legislatures rests upon no sub stantive delegation of their powers by the sovereign people or their States and the resolution further construes itself as a denial that the sovereign people or their States have delegated to the Supreme Court of the United States the authority to intrude into the internal political affairs of the states. I commend the above to your attention for your consideration. There may be other things which can be done that will eventually waylay this mad rush for power we now see being exer cised by the federal Supreme Court.

In any case, gentlemen, I see no way in which we can rightfully reapportion ourselves--either legally or morally.

We surrender to the courts when we reapportioned the Georgia State Senate on a population basis. We did so then, however, on a proper constitutional foundation. We did not violate our state constitution in so doing.

We cannot do so in this case. By violating our state constitution in reapportioning by statute we are violating an instrument of the people. The people of Georgia have the sole right to amend their instrument of sovereignty. We are but the servants of that people.

The Constitution of the United States is an historic system of checks and balances. Indeed, it is the world's most revered example of checks and balances. Our founding fathers, in their wisdom, provided for a bicameral national Congress. One house to be based on popula tion, one on factors other than population. Through the decades this has served as a supreme example of foresightedness. Our national Congress, one house being governed primarily by the will of the ma jority and the other, not so subservient to the whims of public outcry, being the house of temperance, discussion, moderation, justice and wisdom.

One of the slogans often heard from the mouths of those who favor putting both houses of all bicameral (two house legislatures) legis latures throughout this nation on a population basis is "One man, one vote."

A sad, twisting indeed of a long-used phrase which originally was meant to honor the custom of each qualified elector having a vote. Now, however, it seems this phrase is being used to imply that a voter is
somewhat less a citizen if his vote is diluted more on a population basis than the vote of some other citizen hundreds of miles away.

TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1965

983

On this score, Supreme Court Justices, Potter Stewart and Tom Clark, in a dissenting opinion on the Courts Reapportionment rulings, said, "We find it impossible to understand how or why a voter in California, for instance, either feels or is less a citizen than a voter in Nevada, simply because, despite their population disparities, each of those states is represented by two U. S. Senators."

These two justices, in the wisdom of their dissent are quite right. Our founding fathers, in setting up our national congress specifically required that only one of its bicameral (two houses of legislature) houses be based on population.

Gentlemen, if this system of bicameral legislatures within the sev eral states is let go by the boards without a fight, who is there to say that in some unreasoning future moment the Supreme Court may do away with our national Congress as it is now composed? And even though the U. S. Constitution specifically forbids a state to lose more than its minimum representation without its own consent? Constitu tional considerations have not seemed to bother the Supreme Court lately in some of its decisions.

Gentlemen, I beg you to give this careful consideration. I believe we should not pass a reapportionment bill. I believe we must not.

Senator Wesberry of the 37th asked unanimous consent that the following remarks be incorporated in the Journal:
While reapportionment of the Georgia House of Representatives is the greatest need of the State of Georgia today, I cannot in good con science support a measure which does not substantially comply with the "one man, one vote" ruling of the United States Supreme Court.
In my opinion, the population disparities in H.B. 367 are so great that the bill cannot comply with the "one man, one vote" decision.

The consent was granted.

The following bill of the Senate was taken up for the purpose of considering a House amendment thereto:

SB 102. By Senators Loggins of the 53rd, Fincher of the 51st, Kendrick of the 32nd and others:

A BILL

To be entitled an act to amend Code Chapter 74-1 relating to the
relationship of parent to child, so as to require certain persons to re port any cases of cruel treatment of children which he notices in the examination of any such children; to provide for the contents and nature of report made by such persons; to provide that any person or persons, partnership, co-partnership, firm, corporation, association, hospital or other entity participating in the making of a report or caus
ing a report to be made or participatong in any judicial proceeding or any other proceeding resulting therefrom, shall in so doing be immune from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed, providing such participation shall be made in good faith; to prescribe the purposes therefor; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Code Chapter 74-1 relating to the relationship of par ent to child is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof following Code Section 74-110, a new Code Section to be known as Section 74-111 to read as follows:

"74-111. (a) Reports by Physicians, other treating personnel, and Institutions. Any physician, including any doctor of medicine licensed to practice under Chapter 84-9 of the Code of Georgia of 1933, as amended, licensed osteopathic physician, intern, resident, public health nurse or welfare worker having cause to believe that a child under the age of twelve brought to him or coming before him for examination, care or treatment has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him other than by accidental means by a parent or caretaker, shall report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section; provided, however, that when the attendance of a physician with respect to a child is pursuant to the performance of services as a member of the staff of a hospital or similar institution he shall notify the person in charge of the institution or his designated delegate who shall re port or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section; and provided, further, that when an apparently abused child has been seen by a public health nurse or welfare worker, then said public health nurse or welfare worker shall re-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1965

1017

port his or her observation to the County Health Officer or, if none, to any licensed physician who shall, after examination and if he concurs that the injuries were inflicted by other than accidental means, report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

"(b) Nature and Content of Report; to whom made. An oral report shall be made immediately by telephone or otherwise, and followed by a report in writing, to a child welfare agency providing protective services, or in the absence of such agency, to an appro priate police authority. Such reports shall contain the names and addresses of the child and his parents or caretakers, if known, the child's age, the nature and extent of the child's injuries (including any evidence of previous injuries), and any other information that the reporting person believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of the injuries and the identity of the perpetrator.

"(c) Immunity from Liability. Any person or persons, partner ship, co-partnership, firm, corporation, association, hospital or other entity participating in the making of said report or causing said report to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section or any other law, or participating in any judicial proceeding or any other proceeding resulting therefrom, shall in so doing be immune from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be in curred or imposed, providing such participation pursuant to this Section or any other law shall be made in good faith.

"(d) Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide for the protection of children whose health and welfare are adversely affected and further threatened by the conduct of those responsible for their care and protection. This is often manifest by the inflic tion, other than by accidental means, of physical injury requiring the attention of a physician. It is intended that the mandatory reporting of such cases by physicians, hospitals and institutions to appropriate police authority will cause the protective services of the State to be brought to bear on the situation in an effort to prevent further abuses, protect and enhance the welfare of these children, and preserve family life wherever possible. This Section shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the purposes there of."

Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE,

Section 2. Creation, Dissolution, Merger, Boundary Changes. No municipality shall be incorporated, dissolved, merged or consolidated with any other municipality or municipal boundaries changed, except by local act of the General Assembly or by such methods as may be provided by general law.

Section 3. Home Rule for Municipalities.

(a) The governing authority of each municipality shall have legislative power to adopt clearly reasonable ordinances, resolutions or regulations relating to its property, affairs and local government for which no provision has been made by general law and which are not inconsistent with the Constitution or any charter provision applica ble thereto. Any such charter provision shall remain in force and effect until amended or repealed as provided in Paragraph (b) of this Section. This, however, shall not restrict the authority of the General Assembly by general law to further define this power or to broaden, limit or otherwise regulate the exercise thereof. The General Assembly shall not pass any local law to repeal, modify, or supersede any action taken by a municipal governing authority under this Section, except as authorized under Section 4 hereof.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4, a municipality may, as an incident of its home rule power, amend its charter by following either of the procedures hereinafter set forth.

1. Municipal charters may be amended by ordinances duly adopted at two regular consecutive meetings of the municipal governing authority not less than seven nor more than sixty days apart. A notice containing a synopsis of the proposed amendment shall be published in the official organ of the county of the legal situs of the municipality or in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality once a week for three weeks within a period of sixty days immediately preceding its final adoption. Such notice shall state that a copy of the proposed amendment is on file in the office of the clerk or the recording officer of the municipal governing authority and the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county of the legal situs of the municipality for the purpose of examination and inspection by the public. The recording officer of the municipal governing authority shall furnish anyone, upon written request, a copy of the proposed amendment. No amendment hereunder shall be valid to change or repeal an amendment adopted pursuant to a referendum as provided in Subparagraph 2 of this Para graph or to change or repeal a local act of the General Assembly ratified in a referendum as provided in Subparagraph 2 of this Para graph or to change or repeal a local act of the General Assembly ratified in a referendum by the electors of such municipality unless at least twelve months have elapsed after such referendums. No amend ment hereunder shall be valid if provision has been made therefor by general law.
2. Amendments to such charters or amendments to or repeals of such ordinances, resolutions or regulations adopted pursuant to Para graph (a) hereof may be initiated by a petition filed with the governing authority of the municipality containing, in cases of municipalities with

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1965

1077

a population of 5,000 or less, the signatures of at least twenty-five per centum of the electors registered to vote in the last general municipal election; in cases of municipalities with a population of more than 5,000 but not more than 100,000, at least twenty per centum of the elec tors registered to vote in the last general municipal election; and in cases of a municipality with a population of more than 100,000, at least fifteen per centum of the electors registered to vote in the last general municipal election; which petition shall specifically set forth the exact language of the proposed amendment or repeal. The governing authority shall determine the validity of such petition within 60 days of its filing with the governing authority. In the event the governing authority determines that such petition is valid, it shall be the duty of such au thority to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting such amendment or repeal to the registered electors of the municipality for their approval or rejection. Such call shall be issued not less than ten nor more than thirty days after the date of the filing of the petition. The governing authority shall set the date of such election for a day not less than sixty nor more than ninety days after the date of such filing. The governing authority shall cause a notice of the date of said election to be published in the official organ of the county of the legal situs of the municipality or in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality once a week for three weeks immediately preceding such date. Said notice shall also contain a synopsis of the proposed amendment or repeal and shall state that a copy thereof is on file in the office of the clerk or the recording officer of the municipal governing authority and in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county of the legal situs of said municipality for the purpose of examination and inspection of the public. If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are for approval of the amendment or repeal it shall become of full force and effect, otherwise it shall be void and of no force and effect. The expense of such election shall be borne by the municipality and it shall be the duty of the governing authority to hold and conduct such election. Such election shall be held under the same laws and rules and regulations as govern special elections of the municipality, except as otherwise provided herein. It shall be the duty of the governing authority to canvass the returns and declare and certify the result of the election. It shall be the further duty of the governing authority to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State. A referendum on
any such amendment or repeal shall not be held more often than once
each year. No amendment hereunder shall be valid if provision has
been made therefor by general law.

In the event that the governing authority determines that such petition is not valid, it shall publish in explicit detail the reasons why such petition is not valid; provided, however, that in any proceeding in which the validity of the petition is at issue, the tribunal considering such issue shall not be limited by the reasons assigned. Such publication shall be in the official organ of the county of the legal situs of the municipality or in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality, in the week immediately following the date on which such petition is declared to be not valid.
