The governing authority shall provide the necessary forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto, but after any such person has filed the proper application and certificates, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file said certificates thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such person. It shall be the duty of any such person, however, to notify the governing authority in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption, including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1978."

"Section 8. The practice as a registered professional sanitarian by any person who is not licensed under provisions of this Act, or whose license has expired or has been suspended or revoked, is hereby declared to be inimical to the public welfare and to constitute a public nuisance; provided, however, this Section shall not apply to practice as a registered professional sanitarian by persons whose employment is not prohibited under the provisions of Section 10(b) of this Act. The board may, in the name of the State through the Attorney General, or through the District Attorney, apply for an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or whose license has expired or has been suspended or revoked, from practicing as a registered professional sanitarian and upon the filing of a verified petition in such court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit, or otherwise, that such person is or has been practicing as a registered professional sanitarian without having been issued a license, or after his license has expired or has been suspended or revoked, may issue a temporary injunction enjoining the defendant from further practice as a registered professional sanitarian.

(b) This Act shall not prohibit (1) the employment of a sanitarian intern/trainee until completion of an officially
recognized training program. Officially recognized training program means a training program covering specific environmental health and control subjects and instructions by or under supervision of recognized environmental control authorities; or

"Section 13. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person (including any corporation, agency, association or individual) to
(1) sell or fraudulently obtain or furnish any registered professional sanitarian license, renewal or record or aid or abet therein.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

HB 255. By: Representatives Hatcher of the 131st, Collins of the 144th, and Gammage of the 17th: A BILL to amend Code Section 92-3105, relating to corporations and organizations exempt from State income tax, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 24, 1976, so as to authorize the deduction of death benefits in connection with the tax on unrelated business income; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Section 92-3105, relating to corporations and organizations exempt from State income tax, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 24, 1976 (Ga. Laws 1976, p. 613), so as to authorize the deduction of death benefits in connection with the tax on unrelated business income; to provide for the applicability of this Act; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 92-3105, relating to corporations and organizations exempt from State income tax, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 24, 1976 (Ga. Laws 1976, p. 613), is hereby amended by adding at the end of subsection (c) the following:
"Provided, however, if an organization is exempt under Section 501(c)(4) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and such organization makes payments of death benefits as a result of the death of a member of such organization, such payments shall be deductible from the unrelated business income tax which might be owed by such organization. The payment of such death benefits shall not operate to generate a rebate or a refund. If the amount of death benefits paid within the taxable year exceeds the unrelated business income tax owed for the same taxable year, such excess may be carried forward for a period of five years.", so that when so amended subsection (c) shall read as follows:
"(c) Unrelated Business Income-Tax is hereby imposed on income from trade or business which is not related to exempt purposes of organizations described in subsection (a)(l). This income shall be referred to as unrelated business income and shall be such income as presently defined in Section 512 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. Tax shall be at the rate provided in Ga. Code Section 92-3102, as amended. Provided, however, if an organization is exempt under Section 501(c)(4) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and such organization makes payments of death benefits as a result of the death of a member of such organization, such payments shall be deductible from the unrelated business income tax which might be owed by such organization. The payment of such death benefits shall not operate to generate a rebate or a refund. If the amount of death benefits paid within the taxable year exceeds the unrelated business income tax owed for the same taxable year, such excess may be carried forward for a period of five years."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval and shall apply to all taxable years beginning after such effective date.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Each type of motor fuel is to be considered separately under this exemption.
(B) In instances where a sale of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas or special fuel has been made to an ultimate consumer who has both highway and nonhighway use of that type of motor fuel and no tax has been paid by the distributor on such sale, the consumer shall become licensed as a consumer distributor of that type of motor fuel. Thereafter, if demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that such motor fuel was used for nonhighway purposes, such sales shall be exempt from the tax imposed by this Chapter. Provided, however, if at the present time such consumer does not have highway and nonhighway use of such fuel but it can be demonstrated by the distributor to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that such motor fuel was used for nonhighway purposes, such sales shall be exempt from the tax imposed by this Chapter. (8) Sales of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas or special fuel directly to an ultimate consumer to be used for heating purposes only. The delivery of such motor fuel shall be made directly into the storage receptacle of the heating unit of the consumer by the licensed distributor.

*Counties with this symbol have increased amounts to figures shown in order to bring them to the average of 14.13 percent. (b) The governing authority of each county shall submit to the State Auditor a copy
of its regular annual audit not later than six months after the end of the year for which such audit was made. The State Auditor shall compare the amount of funds distributed to each county in such year under the provisions of this Section against the amount of funds expended by each county in such year for the purposes authorized by this Section. In the event the State Auditor determines that the amount so expended is less than the amount distributed, he shall certify such amount to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services who shall deduct and withhold the certified amount from the next funds to be distributed to such offending county under this Section: Provided, however, that in the event a county expending less than the amount distributed to it shall certify at the time of the submission of its audit or within a reasonable time subsequent thereto, that it is accumulating such funds for a specified allowable purpose and submit proof of the deposit or investment of such funds, then such county will be deemed to have complied with the requirements of this subsection (b) except that the amount of such funds shall be added to the amount of funds distributed to such county in the next succeeding year or years for the purpose of making the comparison and determination provided for herein. Upon certification by the State Auditor to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services that the audit required by this subsection from any county has not been received, the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services shall not distribute any further funds under this Section to such offending county until the State Auditor shall again certify to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services that the delinquent audit has been filed. It shall be the duty of the State Auditor to make such certification when no audit is received or when a delinquent audit is received. In the event any county is not now having a regular annual audit made of its funds, the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services shall not distribute any further funds under this Section to such county until an audit has been made and submitted to the State Auditor. Upon the request of the Governor or the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, the State Auditor is authorized to audit the books and records of each county to verify the accuracy of the report so filed with him and to insure that the expenditure of such funds has been made for the purposes intended.
The above procedure shall apply to any grants to counties under any provision of law from motor fuel tax funds.
The Secretary of State is hereby directed to mail a copy of this subsection to the
chairman and the clerk of the governing authority of each county in this State. (c) The Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services shall pay to
each county the amount herein provided for in 12 equal monthly installments and the amount necessary to make said monthly payment to the proper officials of the various counties is hereby appropriated for the purpose and made a special and continuing appropriation.
(d) If the Office of Planning and Budget should fail to make available for any quar-
ter of a fiscal year a sum sufficient to pay such appropriation in full, the distribution of funds to the counties hereunder for such quarter of a fiscal year shall be on the basis existing prior to the adoption of this Section: Provided, however, that no county shall receive less than $17,500.00.
92-1405. Applications, bonds and licensing of distributors, (a) It shall be unlawful
for any person to act as a distributor unless such person holds an uncancelled distributor's license issued by the Commissioner. Any license issued under this Chapter shall indicate the type of motor fuel the distributor is licensed to distribute. The license issued by the Commissioner under this Chapter is not assignable and is valid only for the person to which issued. The license shall remain in force until cancelled by the Commissioner. Any distributor who holds a valid license when this Chapter becomes effective shall not be required to obtain a new license under this Chapter.
(b) To obtain a license every distributor shall file with the Commissioner an applica-
tion under oath and in such form as required by the Commissioner, including but not

out this State and the name and address of the owner(s) or principal officers of a corporation, trust or association. Upon filing of the application, a filing fee of ten dollars
($10.00) shall be paid to the Commissioner. (c) (1) Concurrent with the filing of an application for a license, a surety bond
shall be filed with the Commissioner: (A) In an ajjiount of three times the average monthly motor fuel taxes due
during the next preceding twelve months, not less than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) nor more than seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00);
(B) With a surety company approved by the Commissioner; (C) Upon which such distributor shall be the principal obligor and the State shall be the obligee; (D) Conditioned upon the timely filing of true reports and payments by the distributor to the Commissioner of all motor fuel taxes together with all penalties and interest imposed by this Chapter and upon faithful compliance with all provi-
sions of this Chapter. (2) Every bond shall be continuous, and each year shall constitute a separate obligation in the amount of taxes, penalty and interest imposed or levied by this State while the bond is in force. (3) Any surety may be released and discharged from all liability to the State occurring on such bond after the expiration of sixty days from the date upon which surety shall have lodged with the Commissioner written request to be released and discharged. The request shall not relieve, release or discharge such surety from any tax, penalty or interest accrued before the expiration of the sixty-day period. (4) The Commissioner shall promptly notify in writing any distributor of the surety request for release from the bond and unless such distributor files a new bond with an approved surety within the sixty-day period, the Commissioner shall cancel the license of such distributor. (5) In the event that the surety for the distributor has become unacceptable in the opinion of the Commissioner, the Commissioner may require the distributor to file a new bond with an acceptable surety in the same amount and for the same period of time. Upon failure by the distributor to comply within thirty days, the Commissioner shall cancel the license of the distributor. If acceptable surety is furnished, the Commissioner shall cancel the bond that was unacceptable and substitute the new bond. (6) In lieu of a bond executed by a surety, any distributor may furnish his bond not so executed provided that the distributor concurrently deposits and pledges with the Commissioner direct obligations of the United States or bonds guaranteed by it, or bonds of the State of Georgia or bonds of any public authority created by the General Assembly or bonds issued under the provisions of the 'Revenue Bond Law', as amended, of three times the full amount of the bond(s) required by this Chapter. 92-1406. Licensing of resellers and consumers of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas or special fuel who elect to become licensed distributors of motor fuel other than gasoline, (a) Any person who has both highway and nonhighway use of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas or special fuel may elect to become licensed as a distributor of that type of motor fuel. Such distributor shall qualify to purchase motor fuel of that type exempt from the taxes imposed by this Chapter. Such distributor shall be subject to all the provisions of this Chapter. (b) Any person who resells fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas or special fuel may elect to become licensed as a distributor of that type of motor fuel. Such distributor shall qualify to purchase motor fuel of that type exempt from the taxes imposed by this Chapter. Such distributor shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Chapter. 92-1407. Licensing of aviation gasoline dealers. Sellers or consumers of aviation gasoline shall be eligible to become licensed as aviation gasoline dealers. To obtain an aviation gasoline dealer license, such person shall pay a ten dollar ($10.00) fee and file with the Commissioner an application as prescribed by the Commissioner, includ-
ing, but not limited to the following information:

1667

(a) Name of the legal entity, (b) Trade name, (c) Location with street address of principal office or business locations within or without this State, (d) Name and address of the owner(s) or principal officers of a corporation, trust or association. The license issued by the Commissioner under this Chapter is not assignable and is valid only for the person to whom said license is issued. The license shall remain in force until cancelled by the Commissioner. Any aviation gasoline dealer who holds a valid license when this Chapter becomes effective shall not be required to obtain a new license under this Chapter. 92-1408. Discontinuance or transfer of business. When any distributor ceases his operations or has a change in legal entity, the distributor shall notify the Commissioner in writing at least ten days prior to the discontinuance of the operations or the sale or transfer takes effect. Such notice shall give the date of discontinuance, sale or transfer and shall give the name of the entity acquiring the operations. All taxes, penalties and interest due and payable under the provisions of this Chapter shall be paid concurrently with the discontinuance, sale or transfer of the operations. Failure to give such notice as provided shall make the purchaser or transferee liable to the State for all taxes, penalties and interest due, but only to the extent of the value of the assets that were acquired from the distributor. 92-1409. Tax reports; computation of tax due; distributor's allowance for losses; payment of tax due; record-keeping requirements, (a) For the purpose of determining the amount of tax imposed by this Chapter, each distributor shall file with the Commissioner by the 20th day of each calendar month a report for the preceding calendar month's activities, on forms prescribed by the Commissioner. Such report shall establish total accountability for the motor fuel, as well as any other information required by the Commissioner. (b) At the time of rendering such report, the distributor shall pay to the Commissioner the tax imposed by this Chapter on all gasoline, fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas, special fuel and aviation gasoline sold or used in this State during the next preceding calendar month, less an allowance of one percent of the first five and one-half cents per gallon of the State tax paid to cover losses and expenses incurred in reporting the tax to the State, provided this allowance shall not be deductible unless the payment of tax is made on or before the 20th day of the month as required by this Chapter. (c) (1) Every distributor or aviation gasoline dealer licensed by the Commissioner shall keep such records as the Commissioner shall require for the effective administration of this Chapter and for the reporting and justification of the amount of tax liability. The records must include but are not limited to all motor fuel received, sold, delivered or used, within this State and all motor fuel exported from this State for a period of three years. Invoices, bills of lading, and other papers must be maintained in an auditable manner to support the reports filed with the Commissioner. When an exemption from the taxes imposed by this Chapter has been taken by the distributor, the records and papers of the distributor must account for the motor fuel and the exemption from the taxes imposed.
(2) All other persons receiving motor fuel in bulk quantities for sale, distribution, use or consumption and not specifically covered by this Chapter shall maintain and keep records of motor fuel received and all invoices, bills of lading and other records required by the Commissioner for a period of three years.
(3) Every person who sells motor fuel at retail must make such sales through pumps equipped with meters or totalizers. Every person making such sales must maintain for a period of three years records of gallons received and sold to account
for all motor fuel. (4) The Commissioner or his authorized agents shall have the right during regular
business hours to inspect the books and records of any distributor, aviation gasoline dealer or any other person that receives, sells, uses or consumes motor fuel.

Reports shall be filed by the 20th of each calendar month to cover the preceding calendar month's activities.
(b) The Commissioner shall assign a tank registration number to each person transporting motor fuel over the public highways or navigable waters of this State and furnish a separate tank identification card for each transport tank truck or vessel operated within this State.
(1) The registration number shall be displayed continuously and conspicuously on the truck, tank or vessel operated by persons transporting motor fuel. The identification card issued for each such truck or vessel shall be available for inspection by the Commissioner's agents and remain with such truck or vessel when transporting motor fuel on the public highways or navigable waters of this State.
(2) Tank registration numbers are not transferable and are valid only for the person so issued.
(3) Tank identification cards are not transferable and are valid only for the transport tank truck or vessel for which issued. (c) No person shall transport motor fuel in this State except in a transport tank truck or vessel which is visibly marked on each side and on the rear of the transport tank truck or vessel the words 'Motor Fuel', 'Flammable' or other indication of the type of product being transported suitable to the Commissioner or other regulatory agencies, together with the name and address of the owner of such transport tank truck or vessel and the tank registration number. All required markings must be in letters at least two inches high and of corresponding width. These provisions shall not apply to vehicles or vessels transporting motor fuel contained in their running tanks used solely for their propulsion nor to vehicles or vessels transporting motor fuel of not more than five gallons for emergency purposes. (d) Every person transporting motor fuel over the public highways or navigable waters
of this State shall have in their possession an invoice, bill of sale, or other document which will identify the true name and address of the person from whom such motor fuel was received, the number of gallons originally received, the true name and address of every person who has received any part of such fuel, and the number of gallons delivered to such persons. Failure to produce such invoice, bill of sale, or other document when demanded, or if when produced said document fails to meet the requirements of this Section, shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this Chapter.
(e) Delivery of motor fuel from a transport tank truck or vessel directly into the fuel tank of any motor vehicle in this State is prohibited except in cases of emergency.
(f) No motor fuel shall be unloaded from a transport tank truck, or other vehicle, or conveyed by any other manner into storage tanks, or other equipment located at any motor fuel service station or any other place of business at which motor fuel is offered for sale at retail to the public, between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. of any day.
(g) Every other person purchasing or otherwise acquiring motor fuel in bulk quantities for sale, use or other disposition in this State, not required to be licensed as a distributor by this Chapter, may be required to file by the 20th day of each calendar month a report on forms prescribed by the Commissioner to account for all such motor fuel acquired during the next preceding calendar month. 92-1411. Refunds of motor fuel taxes. Retail dealers, persons using gasoline for agricultural purposes and foreign governments are entitled to a refund as provided by this Section. The right to receive any refund shall not be assignable and any assignment shall be void and of no effect. No payment shall be made by the Commissioner to any

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1977

1669

person other than the original person entitled to the refund. To enable the Commissioner to make the refunds as authorized by this Section, the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services, from warrants drawn by the Governor, shall remit to the Commissioner from funds appropriated by law an amount equivalent to the refunds. Before the Governor issues a warrant for the funds, he shall require that the Commissioner certify the name of each applicant and the amount to which each applicant is entitled.
In order for any person to be eligible for the refund provided by this Section, such person must obtain a refund permit issued by the Commissioner. The permit application shall state such information as required by the Commissioner to establish the right of the person to obtain a refund. In order to receive such refunds the applicant must file with the Commissioner a claim as prescribed by the Commissioner and attach invoices to show proof of purchase, payment of tax, and total accountability of the motor fuel handled, consumed or sold. Invoices submitted for proof of purchase shall contain no alterations or corrections to the name or dates originally shown on the invoice and no invoice will be acceptable to support the refund claim that bears a date falling within a period of time covered by a previously paid refund claim.
(a) Agricultural refunds. Every person who purchases gasoline in quantities of 25 gallons or more and the gasoline is used in operating farm tractors and other equipment used for the production of agricultural crops on land owned or leased by the applicant shall be entitled to a refund of all of the State motor fuel taxes imposed on gasoline except one cent per gallon subject to the rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner. All applications for refunds must be filed with the Commissioner within eighteen months from the date of purchase of the gasoline on which refund is claimed.
(b) Retail dealers. Every person who purchases motor fuel in bulk quantities and sells such motor fuel at retail shall be entitled to a refund of two percent of the first five and one-half cents per gallon of the motor fuel taxes paid to cover losses subject to the rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner. A licensed distributor of a type of motor fuel is not entitled to this refund on fuel for which the distributor holds a license. All applications for refunds must be filed with the Commissioner within six months from the date of purchase of such motor fuel on which refund is claimed.
Separate claims shall be made to reflect the operations of each retail location at which motor fuel is sold at retail if more than one retail location is operated by the applicant.
(c) Refunds to foreign government officials. Every person who is an employee of a foreign government which has established a consulate in this State shall be entitled to a refund of all of the State motor fuel taxes paid on motor fuel for official use. The person entitled to the refund shall not be otherwise engaged in any private occupation for gain in this State. Refunds paid are subject to the rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner. All applications for refunds must be filed with the Commissioner within twelve months from the date of purchase of such motor fuel on which refund is claimed.
92-1412. Taxes erroneously or illegally collected. In the event that it shall appear to the Commissioner that any taxes, penalties or interest imposed by this Chapter have been erroneously or illegally collected from any distributor, the Commissioner shall refund such amounts. No refunds shall be issued under this provision unless a written claim on forms prescribed by the Commissioner is filed stating the circumstances or reason that the applicant is claiming the refund. The claim for refund of taxes erroneously or illegally collected must be filed with the Commissioner within three years from the date of payment of the taxes erroneously or illegally collected. Provisions for such refunds shall be in accordance with an Act approved January 3, 1938 (Ga. Laws 1937-38, Extra. Sess., p. 77), as amended.
92-1413. Powers of the Commissioner. In addition to his other duties and responsibilities to administer this Chapter, the Commissioner is empowered and given the
authority but is not limited to the following: (a) Denial or cancellation of distributor and aviation gasoline dealer license. (1) Deny or cancel any distributor's or aviation gasoline dealer's license if the Commissioner shall be of the opinion that the license application is not filed in good faith or is filed by some person as a subterfuge for any other person.

1670

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(2) Cancel any distributor's or aviation gasoline dealer's license for failure to comply with any provisions of this Chapter or rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner.
(3) The Commissioner shall notify the distributor or aviation gasoline dealer in writing of such cancellation of the license by certified mail to the last known address of the distributor or aviation gasoline dealer appearing on the files of the Commissioner.
(4) If, upon investigation or information obtained from the distributor's monthly report, the Commissioner shall ascertain that any distributor to whom a license has been issued is no longer engaged in the receipt, use or sale of motor fuel, and has not been so engaged for a period of six months, or no longer qualifies as a distributor under this Chapter, the Commissioner may cancel the license of such distributor. Written notice of such cancellation shall be mailed to the last known address of the distributor in which event the license certificate previously issued to such distributor shall be surrendered to the Commissioner.
(5) Reinstate a cancelled license when information is provided at a hearing or otherwise within thirty days of cancellation which satisfies the Commissioner that the license should be reinstated.
(6) In the event that the license of any distributor shall be cancelled by the Commissioner under the authority of this Chapter, the Commissioner shall hold the bonds of the distributor for a period of three years against any liabilities of the distributor. In no event shall any bonds surrendered release any liability. (b) Denial of refunds.
(1) If, in the opinion of the Commissioner, any refund application filed by an applicant shall contain a false statement or if the applicant is indebted to the State, the Commissioner shall decline to approve the refund payment until the applicant has complied with the laws of this State. Payment of the refund will be made subject to the provisions of this Chapter if the Commissioner finds that the applicant is justly entitled to the refund.
(2) If the Commissioner concludes that any retail dealer, person using gasoline for agricultural purposes, or any foreign government official has willfully violated the provisions of this Chapter or willfully failed to comply with the rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner for the administration of this Chapter, the Commissioner may suspend the right of the refund privilege of such person for a term of not more than twelve months. (c) The Commissioner shall promulgate rules and regulations that will achieve the most efficient and economical administration of this Chapter. Such rules and regulations shall establish administrative procedures that are consistent with the laws of this State. (d) The Commissioner may waive the bond and the report required of a licensed distributor of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas or special fuel. Such distributor shall have no taxable sales of such fuel, and receipts must not exceed 12,000 gallons per year. (e) The Commissioner may enter into agreements with appropriate authorities of other jurisdictions having statutes similar to this Chapter for cooperative audit of any taxpayer's reports and refunds. In performing such audits or parts thereof, the officers and employees of other jurisdictions shall be deemed authorized agents of the Commissioner for such agreed upon purpose. (f) The Commissioner may enter into agreements with appropriate authorities of other states who enforce the motor fuel tax laws of other states to exchange information relative to the manufacture, receipt, sale, use or transportation of motor fuel. (g) The Commissioner shall make the motor fuel tax records available for inspection by the public at reasonable times. The Commissioner may charge a fee for special requests of prepared information based on the cost to prepare such information. (h) The Commissioner shall have the authority to appoint revenue agents for the enforcement of the provisions of this Chapter. The appointed agents shall have all powers of a police officer of this State when engaged in the enforcement of this Chapter. (i) When any distributor neglects, or refuses to file the required reports or fails to maintain auditable records that account for tax exemptions taken on motor fuel as required by the provisions of this Chapter, or shall file an incorrect or fraudulent report, the

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1977

1671

Commissioner or his authorized agents shall determine from the best information available the number of gallons of motor fuel that is to be taxed. The Commissioner shall impose the tax, penalty and interest due. Estimates by the Commissioner or his authorized agents shall be prima facie evidence of the claim of the State and the burden of proof to establish the accountability of motor fuel shall be on the distributor to show the assessment is incorrect and contrary to law. (j) The Commissioner or his delegates may, before the expiration of time provided by this Chapter, enter into an agreement with the taxpayer in writing to extend the expiration of the time prescribed for assessments and refunds of taxes imposed by this Chapter. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements made in writing before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon.
92-1414. Assessments and collection of deficiencies, (a) When any distributor is in default in the payment of any taxes due under this Chapter, the Commissioner shall assess the taxes due as provided by an Act approved January 3, 1938 (Ga.

(c) In the case of a false or fraudulent return or the failure to file a return, a specific penalty of fifty percent (50%) of the tax due shall be assessed. (d) When any distributor fails to pay the tax or any part of the tax due as provided by this Chapter, such person shall pay interest on the unpaid tax at the rate of one percent per month from the time the tax became due until paid.

In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Mr. Speaker:

HB 91. By: Representatives Burton of the 47th, Hays and Snow of the 1st, Johnston of the 56th, Patten of the 146th, Smith of the 42nd, Noble of the 48th, Lane of the 40th, Williamson of the 45th, and others: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 34-7, relating to election districts and polling places, as amended, so as to

Under the general order of business, established by the Committee on Rules, the following Bill of the Senate was taken up for consideration and read the third time:

SB 159. By: Senators Duncan of the 30th, Thompson of the 32nd, Hudson of the 35th, Lester of the 23rd, Allgood of the 22nd, and others: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 56-3, relating to the general requirements for conducting an insurance business in this State, so as to prohibit certain institutions and entities constituting or being part of the Farm Credit System and certain of their employees from being licensed to sell or solicit insurance; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Chapter 56-3, relating to the general requirements for conducting an insurance business in this State, as amended, so as to prohibit certain institutions and entities constituting or being part of the Farm Credit System and certain of their employees from being licensed to sell or solicit insurance; to provide for procedures in connection with the implementation of this Act; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 56-3, relating to the general requirements for conducting an insurance business in this State, as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof a new Code Section 56-323, to read as follows:
"56-323. Farm Credit System institutions prohibited from transacting insurance, (a) No institution included in the Farm Credit System, as set forth and identified in 12 U.S.C.A., Section 2002 (Pub. Law 92-181, Sec. 1.2, Dec. 10, 1971, 85 Stat. 583) or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof doing business in this State, nor any officer or employee of any institution included in the Farm Credit System, or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, may directly or indirectly be licensed to sell or solicit any type of insurance, except the following: (1) Credit Life and Accident and Health in an amount appropriate to insure repayment of the loan; (2) Crop hail, hail or wind damage to crops; (3) Insurance against loss of any collateral securing a loan extended by an affiliate bank or association of the Federal Credit System for the full value of such collateral. The right to place collateral insurance, however, shall continue only so long as the underlying loan remains outstanding, or until the expiration of the policy, but in no event longer than 12 months from the last day the loan was outstanding. The purposes of this section 'Collateral Securing a Loan' shall include only that property which is subject to the formal security interest granted in connection with the secured loan and duly filed and recorded in the County where the debtor resides. The purposes of this section 'Collateral Securing a Loan' shall not include any property acquired by the debtor after the date the underlying loan was made unless the secured party shall make an advance to the

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1977

1923

debtor, or otherwise given new value which is to be secured in whole or in part by after-acquired property.
(b) The Insurance Commissioner is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations in order to effectuate the purposes of this Section which are to maintain the separation between those institutions constituting the Farm Credit System and the insurance business, and to minimize the possibility of unfair competitive practices resulting from the sale or solicitation of insurance in connection with loans or other extensions of credit by institutions constituting or being a part of the Farm Credit System.
(c) For the purposes of this Section, institutions constituting the Farm Credit System shall include the federal land banks, the federal land bank associations, the federal intermediate credit banks, the production credit associations, the banks for cooperatives, and such other institutions as may be made part of the system, all of which are chartered by and subject to the supervision of the Farm Credit Administration.
Provided, however, that the types of insurance described in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above may only be transacted, sold or solicited for the purposes of protecting loans made for agricultural purposes to farmers by an institution of the Farm Credit System or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof doing business in this State.
(d) Any person holding a license to sell or solicit insurance at the time of passage of this Act and disqualified under the terms of Section 1 of this Act, upon termination of his association as an employee or officer, or both, of any Farm Credit System institution or affiliate or subsidiary thereof, shall have his license reissued, upon request, without the necessity of taking or passing any examination. Applications shall be made within sixty (60) days from the date of termination of such employment.
(e) As a condition precedent to the transaction or sale of collateral type insurance by an entity or individual covered by this Section, the entity or individual, upon application to the Insurance Commissioner for a license or renewal of a license to transact or sell insurance in this State, shall establish that a definite need exists for collateral type insurance in the geographical community where the entity or individual would reasonably expect to transact or sell the major portion of its insurance business. In order to establish the existence of a need, it must be shown that a similar insurance service is not, at the time of license application or renewal, being provided in terms of cost, quality, and availability by others to the geographical community."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment was read:

Representatives Lambert of the 112th, Karrh of the 106th, and Sizemore of the 136th move to amend the Committee substitute to SB 159 as follows:
By deleting in their entirety lines 1 through 19 of page 2 and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"damage to crops; (3) Property and casualty insurance (except automobile insurance) and which reasonably protects the insured's income and assets, the loss of which may jeopardize repayment capacity, may be sold to members of a farm credit institution by such institution or by any subsidiary or affiliate thereof or by any officer or employee therof upon compliance with the other laws relating to insurance not contained in this Act, and the Insurance Commissioner shall be authorized to issue licenses accordingly."
And, by deleting lines 21 through 34 of page 3 and line 1 of page 4.

"(c) The State may incur public debt of two types for public purposes pursuant to this Paragraph: (1) general obligation debt and (2) guaranteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred by issuing obligations to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment or facilities of the State, its agencies, departments, institutions, and those State Authorities which were created and activated prior to the Amendment adopted November 8, 1960, to Article VII, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1945. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the State if such revenue obligations are issued to finance toll bridges, toll roads, any other land public transportation facilities or systems or water or sewage treatment facilities or systems or to make or purchase, or lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes. No debt may be incurred under this subparagraph (c) at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the State under all contracts then in force to which the provisions of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of this Constitution are applicable, exceed fifteen percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred; provided, however, no guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to finance water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the State for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water or sewage treatment facilities or systems, exceed one percent of the total revenue receipts less refunds, of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million dollars, and the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million dollars. For the purpose of this Paragraph, annual debt service requirements shall mean the total principal and interest coming due in any fiscal year of the State; provided, however, with regard to any issue of debt incurred wholly or in part on a term basis, annual debt service requirements shall mean an amount equal to the total principal and interest payments required to retire such issue in full divided by the number of years from its issue date to its maturity date.",
and substituting in lieu thereof the following paragraph:

Section 7. Same; Signatures; Seal. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. All such bonds shall be signed by the Chairman of the Authority and the official Seal of the Authority shall be affixed thereto and attested by the Secretary of the Authority and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signatures of the Chairman and Secretary of the Authority. Any coupon may bear the facsimile signatures of such persons and any bond may be signed, sealed and attested on behalf of the Authority by such persons as at the actual time of the execution of such bonds shall be duly authorized or hold the proper office, although at the date of such bonds such person may not have been so authorized or shall not have held such office.
Section 8. Same; Negotiability; Exemption from Taxation. All revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall have and are hereby declared to have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the laws of this State. Such bonds, their transfer and the income therefrom shall be exempt from all taxation within the State.
Section 9. Same; Sale; Price; Proceeds. The Authority may sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be for the best interest of the Authority. The proceeds derived from the sale of such bonds shall be used solely for the purpose and/or purposes provided in the resolutions and proceedings authorizing the issuance of such bonds.
Section 10. Same; Interim Receipts and Certificates or Temporary Bonds.

Section 11. Same; Replacement of Lost or Mutilated Bonds. The Authority may provide for the replacement of any bonds or coupons which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost.
Section 12. Same; Conditions Precedent to Issuance. Such Revenue Bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things other than those proceedings, conditions and things which are specified or required by this Act. In the discretion of the Authority, Revenue Bonds of a single issue may be issued for the purpose of any particular project. Any resolution providing for the issuance of Revenue Bonds under the provisions of this Act shall become effective immediately upon its passage and need not be published or posted, and any such Resolution may be passed at any regular or special or adjourned meeting of the Authority by a majority of its members.
Section 13. Credit not Pledged. Revenue Bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of Walker County nor a pledge of the faith and credit of said County, but such bonds shall be payable solely from the fund hereinafter provided for and the issuance of such Revenue Bonds shall not directly, indirectly or contingently obligate said County to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment, and all such bonds shall contain recitals on their face covering substantially the foregoing provisions of this Section.
Section 14. Trust Indenture as Security. In the discretion of the Authority, any issuance of such Revenue Bonds may be secured by a Trust Indenture by and between the Authority and a Corporate Trustee, which may be any Trust Company or Bank having

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1977

1981

the powers of a Trust Company within or without the State. Such Trust Indenture may pledge or assign fees, tolls, revenues and earnings to be received by the Authority. Either the resolution providing for the issuance of Revenue Bonds or such Trust Indenture may contain such provisions for the protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the Authority in relation to the acquisition of property, the construction of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair and insuring of the project, and the custody, safeguarding and application of all monies, and may also provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or architects employed or designated by the Authority, and satisfactory to the original purchasers of the bonds issued therefor, and may also require that the security given by contractors and by any depository of the proceeds of the bonds or revenues or other monies be satisfactory to such purchasers, and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this State to act as such depository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the Authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the Trustee, and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the Authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation and repair of the project affected by such indenture.
Section 15. To Whom Proceeds of Bonds shall be Paid. In the resolution providing for the issuance of Revenue Bonds or in the Trust Indenture, the Authority shall prdvide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds to any officer or person who, or any agency, bank or trust company which, shall act as Trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes hereof, subject to such regulations as this Act and such resolution or Trust Indenture may provide.
Section 16. Sinking Fund. The revenues, fees, tolls and earnings derived from any particular project or projects, regardless of whether or not such fees, earnings and revenues were produced by a particular project for which bonds have been issued unless otherwise pledged and allocated, may be pledged and allocated by the Authority to the payment of the principal and interest on revenue bonds of the Authority as the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust instrument may provide, and such funds so pledged from whatever source received, which said pledge may include funds received from one or more or all sources, shall be set aside at regular intervals as may be provided in the resolution or trust indenture, into a sinking fund, which said sinking fund shall be pledged to and charged with the payment of (1) the interest upon such revenue bonds as such interest shall fall due, (2) the principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due, (3) the necessary charges of paying agent for paying principal and interest and other investment charges, and (4) any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as hereinabove provided. The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be maintained as a trust account for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture any surplus monies in the sinking fund may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be cancelled and shall not again be issued.
Section 17. Remedies of Bondholders. Any holder of Revenue Bonds issued under the provisions of this Act or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, and the Trustee under the Trust Indenture, if any, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by resolution passed before the issuance of the bonds or by the Trust Indenture,

1982

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or granted hereunder or under such resolution or Trust Indenture, and may enforce and compel performance of all duties required by this Act or by such resolution or Trust Indenture to be performed by the Authority or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging and collecting of revenues, fees, tolls and other charges for the use of the facilities and services furnished.
Section 18. Refunding Bonds. The Authority is hereby authorized to provide by resolution for the issuance of bonds of the Authority for the purpose of funding or refunding any revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act and then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and premium, if any. The issuance of such funding or refunding bonds, the maturities and all other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and the duties of the Authority in respect to the same, shall be governed by the foregoing provisions of this Act insofar as the same may be applicable.
Section 19. Validation. Bonds of the Authority shall be confirmed and validated in accordance with the procedure of the Revenue Bond Law, as amended. The petition for validation shall also make party defendant to such action the State of Georgia or any municipality, county, authority, political subdivision or instrumentality of the State of Georgia which has contracted with the Authority for the services and facilities of the project for which bonds are to be issued and sought to be validated and the State or such municipality, county, authority, political subdivision or instrumentality shall be required to show cause, if any exists, why such contract or contracts and the terms and conditions thereof should not be inquired into by the Court and the contract or contracts adjudicated as a part of the basis for the security for the payment of any such bonds of the Authority. The bonds when validated, and the judgment of validation shall be final and conclusive with respect to such bonds and the security for the payment thereof and interest thereon and against the Authority issuing the same, and the State and any municipality, county, authority, political subdivision or instrumentality, if a party to the validation proceedings, contracting with the said Walker County Water and Sewerage Authority.
Section 20. Venue and Jurisdiction. Any action to protect or enforce any rights under the provisions of this Act or any suit or action against such Authority shall be brought in the Superior Court of Walker County, Georgia, and any action pertaining to validation of any bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall likewise be brought in said Court which shall have exclusive, original jurisdiction of such actions.
Section 21. Interest of Bond Holders Protected. While any of the bonds, issued by the authority remain outstanding, the powers, duties or existence of said Authority or its officers, employees or agents, shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will affect adversely the interests and rights of the holders of such bonds, and no other entity, department, agency or authority will be created which will compete with the Authority to such an extent as to affect adversely the interest and rights of the holders of such bond, nor will the State itself so compete with the Authority. The provisions of this Act shall be for the benefit of the Authority and the holders of any such bonds, and upon the issuance of bonds under the provisions hereof, shall constitute a contract with the holders of such bonds.
Section 22. Monies received considered Trust Funds. All monies received pursuant to the authority of this Act, whether as proceeds from the sale of revenue bonds, as grants or other contributions, or as revenue, income, fees and earnings, shall be deemed to be trust funds to be held and applied solely as provided in this Act.
Section 23. Purpose of the Authority. Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Act, the general purpose of the Authority is declared to be that of acquiring an adequate source or sources of water supply, treatment of such water, and thereafter the distribution of the same to the various municipalities and citizens in Walker County and environs, including adjoining counties and municipalities located therein, and further

Section 25. Rules and Regulations for Operation of Projects. It shall be the duty of the Authority to prescribe rules and regulations for the operation of the project or projects constructed and/or acquired under the provisions of this Act, including the basis upon which water service and facilities, sewerage service and facilities, or both, shall be furnished.

Section 27. Powers Declared Supplemental and Additional. The foregoing sections of this Act shall be deemed to provide an additional and alternative method for the doing of the things authorized thereby and shall be regarded as supplemental and additional to powers conferred by other laws, and shall not be regarded as in derogation of any powers now existing.

"Section 1. Policy.

Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Section 2, which reads as follows:
"(a) The standards and specifications set forth in this Act shall apply to all buildings and facilities used by the public which are constructed in whole or in part by the use of State, county, or municipal funds, or the funds of any political subdivisions of the State.

All buildings and facilities constructed in this State, or substantially renovated, modified, or altered, after the effective date of this Act from any one of these funds or any combination thereof shall conform to each of the standards and specifications prescribed herein except where the governmental department, agency, or unit concerned shall determine, after taking all circumstances into consideration, that full compliance with any particular standard or specification is impracticable. Where it is determined that full compliance with any particular standard or specification is impractical, the reasons for such determination shall be set forth in written form by those making the determination and forwarded to the State Fire Marshal. If it is determined that full compliance is not practicable, there shall be substantial compliance with the standard or specification to the maximum extent practical, and the written record of the determination that it is impractical to comply fully with a particular standard or specification shall also set forth the extent to which an attempt will be made to comply substantially with the standard or specification.", in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) of Section 2 to read as follows:

Section 1. An Act providing for modification of permanent alimony, approved March 9, 1955 (Ga. Laws 1955, p. 630), as amended, is hereby amended by striking Section 1 thereof in its entirety, and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 1, to read as follows:
"Section 1. The judgment of a court providing permanent alimony for the support of a wife shall be subject to revision upon petition filed by either spouse showing a change in the income and financial status of either spouse. The judgment of a court providing permanent alimony for the support of a child or children shall be subject to revision upon petition filed by either spouse showing a change in the income and financial status of the husband. In either case such petition shall be filed and returnable under the same rules of procedure applicable to divorce proceedings. No petition may be filed by either spouse under this Act within a period of two years from the date of the filing of a previous petition by said spouse. After hearing both parties and the evidence, the jury, or the judge where a jury is not demanded, may modify and revise the previous judgment so as to provide for the wife or child or children, or both, in accordance with the changed income and financial status of either spouse in the case of permanent alimony for the support of a wife or in accordance with the changed income and financial status of the husband in the case of permanent alimony for the support of a child or children, if such a change in the income and financial status is satisfactorily proved, so as to warrant such modification and revision. In the hearing upon a petition filed as provided herein, testimony may be given and evidence introduced relative to the income and financial status of either spouse."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking from Section 2 the following: "of the husband", and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "of the husband in cases of permanent alimony for the support of a child or children or of either spouse in cases of permanent alimony for the support of a wife", so that when so amended, Section 2 shall read as follows: "Section 2. Upon such an application, as hereinbefore authorized, the merits of

Section 3. Code Section 30-217, relating to subsequent cohabitations and the effect as to permanent alimony, is hereby amended by adding, following the first sentence thereof, the following:
"The voluntary cohabitation of the wife with another person shall annul and set aside all provisions made for periodic payments of permanent alimony.", so that when so amended, said Code Section shall read as follows:
"30-217. Subsequent cohabitations, effect as to permanent alimony.

The voluntary cohabitation of the wife with another person shall annul and set aside all provisions made for periodic payments of permanent alimony.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 84-14, relating to real estate brokers and salesmen, as amended, is hereby amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 84-1412 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) To pay the expense of the maintenance and operation of the office of the commission and the enforcement of this Chapter, the commission shall, at the time an application is submitted, collect from an applicant for each broker's, associate broker's or salesperson's examination a fee of $25 and an investigation fee, if necessary. If the applicant fails to pass the original examination, the applicant may, upon payment of an additional fee, retake the examination as often as scheduled and as many times as he desires. The payment of a fee is required for each examination. Prior to the issuance of an original license, each applicant who has passed the examination, as required by Section 84-1410, shall pay a license fee in advance as follows: for a broker's or associate broker's license, $50, and for a salesperson's license, $15. Effective January 1, 1974, all licenses shall be issued biennially and shall be renewed as of January 1 of each even-numbered year."
Section 2. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking subsections (e) and

2032

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(f) of Code Section 84-1412 in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof four new subsections to be designated subsections (e), (f), (g) and (h) and to read as follows:
"(e) Any real estate salesperson, associate broker, or broker who is temporarily unemployed, or in the case of a salesperson or associate broker is temporarily not actively engaged in behalf of a broker, may continue his license by making application therefor immediately upon ceasing work and by submitting a fee of $15 together with an application on which he has noted his present 'inactive status.' The fee of $15 shall cover all fees due the commission for any period on 'inactive status" for up to three years. Any salesperson, associate broker, or broker whose license has been placed in an inactive status may not be permitted to engage in the real estate business. To reinstate a license held on 'inactive status', the salesman must secure a broker's signature for whom he wishes to act. On or after January 1, 1977, any licensee who has been inactive for a continuous period of more than three years shall be reinstated only if the licensee shall successfully pass the examination requirements as an original applicant.
(f) Any check presented to the commission as a fee for an original license, a renewal license, an inactive license status, a transfer of license, or examination for a license, which is returned unpaid, may be cause for revocation or denial of license.
(g) Any licensed broker or associate broker who wishes to be licensed as a salesperson may do so by surrendering his broker's license and applying for a license as a salesperson. No examination shall be required of a licensed broker or associate broker who surrenders his broker's or associate broker's license and applies for a salesperson's license. In the event that such person later wishes to be relicensed as a broker, no additional broker's examination shall be required. When an individual changes his status as contemplated in this subsection, he shall be required to pay the same fee as an original applicant.
(h) Should a license be suspended or revoked, as provided for by this Chapter, said suspension or revocation shall prevent the licensee from making either application set out in subsection (g) hereof."
Section 3. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 84-1417, relating to form of license, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 84-1417 to read as follows:
"84-1417. Form of license. The commission shall prescribe the form of the license. Each license shall have placed thereon the seal of the commission. The license of each real estate salesman and associate broker shall be delivered or mailed to the real estate broker for whom the real estate salesman or associate broker is acting as an associate broker or salesman, and shall be kept in the custody and control of such broker. It shall be the duty of each broker to conspicuously display his own license and those of his associate brokers and salesmen in his place of business. The commission shall prepare and deliver a pocket card certifying that the person whose name appears thereon is a licensed real estate broker or a licensed real estate associate broker or salesman, as the case may be. If a real estate broker maintains more than one place of business within the State, a branch office license shall be issued to such broker for each branch office so maintained by him upon the payment of a biennial fee of $50, and the branch office license shall be conspicuously displayed in each branch office. The manager of a branch office must be an officer of the corporation, a partner or an associate broker."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. As used in this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the term (1) "campus" means the grounds and buildings owned or occupied by a college or university. (2) "college or university" means an accredited, nonproprietary public or private educational institution of higher learning located in this State. (3) "campus policeman" means an employee of a college or university whose duties include the enforcement of the laws of this State; the preservation of public order; the protection of life and property; the prevention, detection or investigation of crime; or any combination thereof.
Section 2. On the campus of a college or university, a campus policeman employed by such college or university who is certified in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Act when authorized by the college or university shall have the same law enforcement powers, including the power of arrest, as a law enforcement officer of the local government with police jurisdiction over such campus.
Section 3. As a condition precedent to the exercise of law enforcement powers pursuant to Section 2, a campus policeman must be certified by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council as having met the qualifications and having completed the basic training requirements for a peace officer under the provisions of the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Act, as now or hereafter amended.

Upon the expiration of his term of office, a member shall continue to serve until his successor shall have been appointed and shall have qualified. No member of the Board shall serve as such for more than two terms, consecutive or otherwise and, for purposes of calculating the number of terms served, the filling of an urtexpired term, or terms, for a total of more than thirty calendar months shall be treated as having served a full term.

The Board shall publish notice of the time and place of any and all examinations provided for in this Section at least three consecutive days in daily newspapers of general circulation published in the three cities in this State with the largest population according to the most recent decennial census conducted by the United States Government. Any such notice shall have been published at least ninety days prior to the examination to which it refers.
(e) An applicant who has met the education requirement specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this Section, or who expects to meet it within 120 days following the examination described in paragraph (a)(5) of this Section, or with respect to whom such education requirement has been waived in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section, shall be eligible to take such examination without waiting until he meets the experience requirement; provided, however, that he also meets the requirements of paragraphs (a)(l), (a)(2), and (a)(3) of this Section. In the case of any applicant admitted to such examination on the expectation that he will meet the education requirement within 120 days, no certificate shall issue, nor shall credit for the examination, or any part of it, be given, unless such requirement is in fact completed within that time or within such longer period of time as the Board, in its discretion, may determine.

(i) With respect to examinations, the Board shall charge such applicant a fee, to be determined by the Board which fee shall be sufficient to pay for the cost of such examinations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the examination provided for in paragraph (a)(5) of this Section shall be waived by the Board in the case of an applicant who has been engaged in public practice for a period of ten years in another state pursuant to authority issued by such state.
(m) In the event an applicant for a certificate as a certified public accountant meets all the requirements for such a certificate (other than the requirements of paragraph (a)(l) of this Section) the Board may, in its discretion, issue to him a temporary certificate as a certified public accountant which shall be effective only until the Board shall notify him that his application for a certificate as a certified public accountant pursuant to subsection (1) of this Section has been either granted or rejected; provided, however, that in no event shall such temporary certificate be in effect for more than three months after the date of its issuance.

Such evidence shall be submitted to the Board at least 20 days prior to the date of examination.

The Commissioner of Public Safety shall prescribe by rules and regulations the necessary information which shall be required to be fur-

TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1977

2103

nished in order to satisfy the provisions of this subsection; however, such information as pertains to the minimum insurance coverage shall contain the certificate of the applicant that minimum insurance is in force and the premium has been paid. The insurer, within five (5) days after the effective date of a permitted cancellation of such coverage, shall notify the Department of Public Safety in writing of the cancella-
tion. (2) Any person knowingly making a false certification under Section 1 (12) shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000.00, or imprisonment for not more than 90 days. Upon receipt of notification of such conviction, the Department of Public Safety shall suspend the motor vehicle operator's license and the motor vehicle license tag issued to such motor vehicle for a period of 60 days, and thereafter until proof of compliance with the provisions of this Act has been filed and a restoration fee of $25.00 has been paid to the Department. (b) In cases in which the minimum insurance required by this Act is cancelled by the insurer, upon receipt of notification of such cancellation the Department of Public Safety shall send a notice to the owner of such motor vehicle that the Department has been informed of the fact of such cancellation. Upon receipt of such notice from the Department of Public Safety, it shall be the duty of the owner of such motor vehicle, on such form provided by the Department of Public Safety, to notify the Department as to whether he has obtained the minimum coverage required by this Act, indicating the insurance company with which any coverage has been obtained and the policy number or binder number and the certificate required by the Department of Public Safety. Such information shall be furnished to the Department of Public Safety within 15 days of the date on which such notification was mailed by the Department. Such forms shall contain such additional information as may be required by the Department of Public Safety. If such information is not received by the Department of Public Safety within the specified time period or if no minimum insurance coverage has been obtained, the Department shall suspend the motor vehicle operator's license of the owner and the motor vehicle license tag issued to such motor vehicle, and the Department shall notify the owner of the motor vehicle to forward his motor vehicle operator's license and any motor vehicle license tag issued to such vehicle to the Department of Public Safety. Upon satisfactory proof of compliance with the provisions of this Act, the Commissioner shall return any operator's license and motor vehicle license tag suspended under the provisions of this Section to the owner of such motor vehicle; provided, however, that in cases where the operator's license and motor vehicle license tag is suspended, the owner shall be required to submit proof of compliance with the provisions of this Act and the payment of a $10.00 restoration fee to the Department in order to receive his operator's license and motor vehicle license tag; provided, further, that in cases where the operator's license and motor vehicle license tag have been suspended under this subsection for a second or subsequent time during any two-year period, the Department shall suspend the motor vehicle operator's license and the motor vehicle license tag for a period of 60 days, and thereafter until the owner submits proof of compliance with the provisions of this Act and the payment of a $25.00 restoration fee to the Department. (c) Similarly, in cases in which a person is convicted of knowingly operating, or
knowingly authorizing another to operate, a motor vehicle without effective insurance
thereon or without an approved plan of self-insurance as required by the "Georgia
Motor Vehicle Accident Reparations Act", upon receipt of notification of such conviction
the Department of Public Safety shall suspend for a period of 60 days the motor vehicle
operator's license, and in the case of the owner, the license tag for each vehicle involved,
and shall not thereafter reinstate such person's operator's license and license tag until
such time as proof of compliance with the provisions of this Act has been filed. If the
Department does not have such person's operator's license and license tag, the Depart-
ment shall notify the person to forward his motor vehicle operator's license, and if he
is the owner of the motor vehicle, the license tag for each vehicle involved to the
Department of Public Safety. It shall be the duty of the person convicted, on such forms
provided by the Department, to notify the Department as to whether he has obtained

2104

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the minimum insurance coverage required by this Act, indicating the insurance company with which any coverage has been obtained, the policy or binder number, the certificate required by the Department of Public Safety, and such additional information as may be required by the Department. Upon satisfactory proof of compliance with the provisions of this Act and after the 60-day suspension has ended, proof of minimum insurance coverage has been filed, and the payment of a $25.00 restoration fee has been made to the Department, the Commissioner shall return the operator's license and license tag suspended under the provisions of this Section to the owner or operator of such motor vehicle.
(d) (1) The Department, upon suspending the motor vehicle operator's license or motor vehicle license tag as provided for in this Act, shall require that such license and tag be surrendered to the Department immediately following the effective date of suspension, and it is the duty of any owner or operator, immediately upon receipt of notice from the Department, to forward the operator's license and license tag to the Department.
(2) If such motor vehicle operator's license or motor vehicle license tag is not received by the Department of Public Safety within ten days following the effective date of suspension, the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety shall forthwith direct any member of the Georgia State Patrol or any peace officer to secure possession of such license or tag and return the same to the Commissioner.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act comprehensively and exhaustively revising, superseding and modernizing the procedure for a review of assessments made by county boards of tax assessors and providing for county boards of equalization, approved April 6, 1972 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 1094), codified as Code Section 92-6912, as amended, is hereby amended by renumbering Sections 10, 11 and 12 of Code Section 92-6912 as Sections 11, 12 and 13 respectively and by adding a new Section 10 to Code Section 92-6912 to read as follows:
"Section 10. Interim Collection Pending Appeals, (a) When: (1) any appeal as provided by law is filed to prevent the approval of a tax digest by the State Revenue Commissioner, or the digest is not otherwise approved by said Commissioner, or the digest is otherwise not enforceable or collectible by law and (2) such appeal, disapproval or disability prohibits or prevents collections from being made or enforced on said digest, the governing authority of the county for which said digest has not been approved, may petition the superior court of the county in which said authority has governing powers, for the immediate and temporary collection of taxes thereon as provided in this Section.
(b) The petition filed by the governing authority shall be styled 'In the Matter of the (year) Tax Digest for (name of county) County.' In the petition, the governing authority of the county shall assert that the county authority will not be able to either: (1) pay the county's debts as they mature, (2) pay appropriate salaries of employees, other government officials and other persons entitled to receive either compensation by or funds from the county as provided by law, (3) maintain an orderly and normal function of county business and governmental affairs, (4) maintain an adequate, proper or desirable credit rating to either maintain or affect existing or future interest rates on bond indebtedness or indebtedness on loans incurred or obligated by the county governing authority, or (5) avoid by practical means the suffering of immediate and irreparable injury, loss, damage and any other significant matter, unless the court authorizes the immediate temporary collection of the taxes.
The petition shall further identify the last year in which the county had an approved tax digest as provided in this Code Title and shall state the particular year for which the tax collections are sought.
(c) After the filing of the petition referred to in subsection (b), a judge of the supe-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1977

2189

rior court in which the petition was filed shall set a time and date for a hearing on the petition which shall be not less than ten days from the date of the filing of the petition. The court shall direct that the governing authority of the county cause the petition to be published at least once prior to the hearing in the official newspaper of the county for publication of official notices, and the court shall further order that the governing authorities post a copy of the petition in a prominent place in the courthouse. No hearing shall be held on the petition until the petition shall have been so published and posted.
(d) After the petition has been filed, and before the hearing, any interested party shall be authorized and allowed to intervene for the purpose of opposing the issuance of an order allowing the immediate and temporary collection of taxes.
(e) At the hearing on the matter of the petition, the governing authority shall bear the burden of proof of establishing the existence of one or more of the conditions set forth in subsection (b) above, and the court shall not be authorized to issue an order allowing the temporary collection of taxes unless it finds that the evidence adduced at the hearing preponderates in favor of a finding that one of the conditions referred to in subsection (b) does exist. If the court so determines, the court shall enter an order containing findings of fact and conclusions of law to that end and shall order the collection of temporary taxes as sought by the county governing authority.
(f) In the court's order, the court shall establish the basis on which the temporary tax on each parcel of property shall be established, as well as the manner in which such taxes shall be billed, collected and otherwise received. The basis upon which the temporary taxes may be collected shall be one of the following:
(1) Any tax digest for the tax year in question which has been submitted to the State Revenue Commissioner, but which has been rejected or is otherwise unenforceable;
(2) The most recently submitted and approved tax digest, as amended to reflect changes in ownership in property; or
(3) Any other reasonable method which will do substantial justice to the parties under the exigencies of all the circumstances. (g) Any taxes collected or paid after the entrance of the order for collection, as provided for in this Section, shall not be considered as and not deemed to be voluntary payments and collection or payment of such taxes after the entry of such order by the court shall not in any manner affect or limit anyone who pays such taxes from receiving and enjoying the full benefits of any adjustments, benefits, refunds or additional assessments, determined by the final disposition of the validity of the tax digest. (h) The temporary collection of such taxes on the basis ordered by the superior court shall proceed and shall be of full force and effect exactly as if the tax digest used as the basis for the court's order has been approved by the State Revenue Commissioner or otherwise approved or in force as provided by law except as may be modified by court order. The court shall retain jurisdiction to issue any appropriate order necessary to enforce the court's order allowing the temporary collection of taxes. (i) Any governing authority filing a petition seeking an order allowing the temporary collection of taxes shall serve the State Revenue Commissioner with a copy of said petition; provided, however, that the State Revenue Commissioner may not be joined in an action seeking the temporary collection of taxes without the State Revenue Commissioner's specific consent. (j) The procedures provided by this Section shall apply to the tax digest of any municipality not using as a basis for municipal tax purposes the fair market value determined for county ad valorem tax purposes, and for the purposes of this subsection, the provisions of this Section applicable to the governing authority of a county shall also be applicable to the governing authority of any such municipality."
Section 2. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally

Whenever the judge of the small claims court shall be unable, because of absence, sickness, or other cause, to discharge any duty appertaining to his office, the senior judge of the superior court of the judicial circuit shall perform such duties, and hear and determine all such matters as may be submitted to him, and shall be substituted in all respects in the place and stead, and in the matter aforesaid, of the judge so unable to act.
Section 4. Any duties herein prescribed to be performed by the clerk of the small claims court may be performed by the judge thereof, although the judge may appoint a person to act as clerk, said clerk to be compensated, if at all, from the fees herein authorized.
Section 5. All fees collected by the judge as herein authorized, shall be retained by him as his sole remuneration.
Section 6. Actions shall be commenced by the filing of a statement of claim, including the last known address of the defendant, in clear and concise form and free from technicalities. The plaintiff or his agent shall verify the statement of claim by oath or affirmation in the form herein provided or its equivalent, and shall affix his signature thereto. The judge or clerk may, at the request of any individual, prepare the statement of claim and other papers required to be filed in an action.
(a) A copy of the verified statement, together with a notice of hearing in the form hereinafter prescribed, shall be served on the defendant, and such service shall be sufficient to give the court jurisdiction in the premises. Service of said notice may be made in the county by an officer or person authorized by law to serve process in superior courts; or by a duly qualified small claims court marshal; or by registered or certified mail with a return receipt; or by any private individual not a party to or otherwise interested in the suit, especially appointed by the judge for that purpose.
(b) When notice is to be served by registered or certified mail, the clerk or the judge shall enclose a copy of the statement of claim, verification and notice in an envelope addressed to the defendant at his last known address, prepay the postage from monies collected for that purpose, and mail the same forthwith, noting on the record the date and hour of mailing. When a receipt therefor is returned, the clerk or judge shall attach the same to the original statement and notice of claim, or otherwise file it as a part of the record in case, and it shall be a prima facie evidence of service upon the defendant.
(c) When served by a private individual, as above provided, he shall make proof of service by affidavit, showing the time and place of such service on the defendant.

(f) Said notice shall specify the day and hour of the hearing, which shall not be less than five nor more than thirty-five days from the date of the service of said notice; provided, however, that where service is made by registered or certified mail the date of mailing shall be the date of service.
Section 7. A docket shall be maintained in which shall be indicated every proceeding and ruling had in the case.
Section 8. The plaintiff, when he files his claim, shall deposit with the court the sum of seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) which shall cover the costs of the proceeding up to, but not including, the rendering of a judgment, except the cost of serving process or notice to defendants which shall be five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) and the cost of summoning witnesses when required. The cost of rendering a judgment by default shall be an additional two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) and the cost of rendering a judgment after a case has come before the court or to trial, except for a judgment by default, shall be an additional five dollars ($5.00). In other matters not specifically mentioned herein

2208

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the costs shall be the same as provided for justices of the peace; and in claim cases and illegalities, instituted by a third party after levy, the costs may be taxed as herein provided in the discretion of the court. If a party shall fail to pay accrued costs, the judge shall have the power to deny said party the right to file any new case while such costs remain unpaid, and likewise to deny a litigant the right to proceed further in any case pending. The award of court costs, as between the parties, shall be according to discretion of the judge and shall be taxed in the case at his discretion.
Section 9. (a) On the day set for the hearing, or such later time as the judge may set, the trial shall be had. Immediately prior to the trial of any case, the judge shall make an earnest effort to settle the controversy by conciliation. If the judge fails to induce the parties to settle their differences without a trial, he shall proceed with the hearing on the merits.
(b) The judge shall conduct the trial in such manner as to do substantial justice between the parties according to the rule of substantive law, and all rules and regulations relating to pleading, practice and procedure shall be liberally construed so as to administer justice.
(c) In cases of attachment, garnishment, and trover, the legal grounds thereof shall be as now or hereafter provided by law, and the pleading and practice in such cases shall be substantially the same as obtained in courts of justices of the peace; and no formal declaration in attachment shall be required.
(d) If the plaintiff fails to appear, the case may be dismissed for want of prosecution, or defendant may proceed to a trial on the merits, or the case may be continued as the judge may direct. If both parties fail to appear, the judge may continue the case, or order the same dismissed for want of prosecution, or make any other just and proper disposition thereof, as justice may dictate.
Section 10. If any defendant has any claim against the plaintiff, the judge may require a statement of setoff to be filed, or same may be waived. If the plaintiff requires time to prepare his defense against such claim, the judge may in his discretion continue the case for such purpose. If any defendant has any claim against the plaintiff which exceeds the jurisdiction of the court, he may use a part thereof to offset the claim of the plaintiff.
Section 11. Whenever a claim affidavit and bond is filed by a third party claiming personal property that has been attached or levied upon under an attachment or execution issued from the small claims court and, unless the claimant (at the time he files his claim affidavit) makes written demand for a jury trial, the issues raised by such claim affidavit shall be heard and determined by the judge of said small claims court, and the judge shall be entitled to seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) for every such claim case. The same practice and procedure shall apply in cases of illegality affidavits. The plaintiff in attachment or plaintiff in execution may make written demands for a trial by jury within five days after a claim affidavit and bond is filed with the levying officer. The party demanding such jury trial shall deposit with the court a sum sufficient to defray the expenses of such trial, including the summoning of prospective jurors and jury fees, the amount to be determined by the judge. The costs in such cases, including the costs of a jury trial, shall be finally taxed against the losing party in said proceeding.
Section 12. When a judgment is to be rendered and the party against whom it is to be rendered requests it, the judge shall inquire fully into the earnings and financial status of such party and shall have full discretionary power to stay the entry of judgment, and to stay execution, and to order partial payments in such amounts, over such periods, and upon such terms, as shall seem just under the circumstances and as will assure a definite and steady reduction of the judgment until it is finally and completely satisfied.
Section 13. The judge of such small claims court shall not be obligated to collect such deferred partial payments on judgments so rendered but, if the plaintiff so requests, he may do so at the expense of the plaintiff for clerical and accounting costs incurred thereby.

2209

Section 14. The senior judge of the superior court presiding in any such county may from time to time make rules for a simple, inexpensive, and speedy procedure to effectuate the purposes of this Act and shall have power to prescribe, modify and improve the forms to be used therein, from time to time, to ensure the proper administration of justice and to accomplish the purposes hereof. All such rules made by the judge of the superior court shall be placed in a special book for that purpose which is to be kept by the judge of the small claims court.
Section 15. The judge of said court shall have power to appoint one or more marshals of and for said small claims court, to act within and throughout the limits of the county, such marshals to serve at the pleasure of the judge and under his direction, and a person so appointed shall be known and designated as "small claims court marshal" and have the powers and authority, and be subject to the penalties, of all lawful constables of the State of Georgia, including the power to serve any and all processes and writs issued from or by said small claims court, with power, also to make levies and conduct judicial sales, and account therefore, in the manner of lawful constables. All such marshals shall, within five days from their appointment as such, take and subscribe the oath of office as prescribed in Section 24-804 and give the bond prescribed in Section 24-811 of the Code of Georgia, except such bond shall be in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000), and such marshals shall be subject to be removed for failure or malfeasance in office as are other lawful constables of this State. All such marshals shall be entitled to the same fees now allowed sheriffs for like services.
Section 16. The small claims court shall have no designated terms at stated periods, but being always open for the transaction of business, the judge thereof shall, in each instance, set dates for all hearings and trials in every kind of case and, also, designate the times when attachments and executions are returnable and, also, designate the time when each answer to a summons of garnishment shall be filed, but no garnishee may be required to file his answer sooner than ten days after he is served with summons. Whenever a garnishee shall fail to answer at the time so stated in the summons served upon him, unless the court in its discretion extends the time for filing, the judge may forthwith render judgment and issue an execution against the garnishee in favor of the plaintiff for the amount previously adjudged to be due the plaintiff by the original defendant, and also for costs in the garnishment proceeding, but no judgment shall be rendered against a garnishee before a final judgment shall have been first rendered against the defendant.
Section 17. A summons of garnishment may be served by the sheriff or his deputies, or by a lawful constable, or by a small claims court marshal; or it may be served by registered or certified mail provided such service by mail is evidenced by a properly signed return receipt, which receipt shall be attached to the original garnishment affidavit, or the writ of attachment. Whenever served in person by a court officer as aforesaid, such officer shall enter his return of services either on the back of the original garnishment affidavit, or the attachment writ or on the back of a conformed copy of the original summons of garnishment which was given to the garnishee, or such entry of service may be made on a separate paper and attached to the said garnishment affidavit or the writ of attachment, as the case may be.
Section 18. Jury trials may be had upon demand of the plaintiff at the time of the commencement of his suit or by the defendant within five days after service of notice by depositing with the judge or his clerk such sum as the judge may fix as reasonable to secure payment of cost incurred by reason of a jury trial. The judge or clerk shall have the power to subpoena jurymen, and witnesses, and to compel their attendance.
(a) Unless otherwise demanded such juries shall consist of six persons chosen from twelve veniremen, the plaintiff and defendant having three strikes each.
(b) The judge of the small claims court shall have power to impose fines of not more than ten dollars or imprisonment for not longer than twenty-four hours on any person guilty of contempt of court, such fines to be paid into the county treasury or county depository for county purposes.

Section 20. Appeals may be had from judgments rendered in the small claims court, to the superior court, by the party desiring to appeal. Said party shall first pay all costs then due. Said party must then file in the superior court a written appeal which shall include the name and number of the case in the small claims court stating his grounds for appeal, which grounds must first be heard before the judge of the superior court. If after a full hearing the grounds for appeal are denied, said party shall have the right to appeal to a higher court in the same manner as other decisions of the superior court are appealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 27-15, relating to demurrers and special pleas, as amended, is hereby amended by striking the title of said Code Chapter, which reads as follows:
"27-15. DEMURRERS AND SPECIAL PLEAS.", and substituting in lieu thereof a new title of said Code Chapter, to read as follows:
"27-15. DEMURRERS; SPECIAL PLEAS; INSANITY AND MENTAL INCOMPETENCY."
Section 2. Said Code Chapter is further amended by adding following Code Section 27-1502 a new Code Section to be designated Code Section 27-1503, to read as follows:
"27-1503. Plea of insanity or mental incompetency at the time of the crime.--(a) In all criminal trials in any of the courts of this State wherein an accused shall contend that he was insane or mentally incompetent under the law at the time of the act or acts charged against him were committed, the trial judge shall instruct the jury that, in case of acquittal on such contention, the jury shall specify in their verdict that the accused person was acquitted because of mental incompetence or insanity at the time of the commission of the act. If such verdict of acquittal is returned by the jury, the court shall retain jurisdiction over the person so acquitted and shall immediately inquire into the sanity of the person at the time of acquittal and, upon a showing of good cause by the prosecutor, may defer ruling upon the same and order such person to be confined in a State mental hospital, to be selected by the Department of Human Resources for a period of not less than 30 days. A person committed to the Department of Human Resources pursuant to this Section shall not be released from confinement unless and until the court which committed him, after notice and hearing, shall find and determine that such person does not meet the criteria for civil commitment under Code Chapter 88-5 or 88-25, as now or hereafter amended. Nothing in this Section contained shall prevent the transfer of such person from one State hospital to any other State hospital by the Department of Human Resources or the transfer of such patient to a hospital in another state in the manner provided by law, upon order of the superior court in the county from which he was committed, or in which he is detained.
(b) An application for the release of a person who has been committed to the

2332

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Department of Human Resources under subsection (a), upon the ground he does not meet the civil commitment criteria under Code Chapter 88-5 or 88-25, as now or hereafter amended, may be made to the superior court of the county from which he was committed, either by such person or by the superintendent of the State hospital in which the said person is confined. No hearing upon such application shall be allowed until the person committed shall have been confined for a period of not less than 30 days from the date of the order of commitment. If the finding of the court is adverse to releasing such person on the ground that such person meets the civil commitment criteria under Code Chapter 88-5 or 88-25, as now or hereafter amended, a further application shall not be heard by the court until one year has elapsed from the date of hearing upon his last preceding application."
Section 3. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 27-1502 in its entirety, which reads as follows:
"27-1502. Plea of insanity, how tried. Whenever the plea of insanity is filed, it shall be the duty of the court to cause the issue on that plea to be first tried by a special jury, and if found to be true, the court shall order the defendant to be delivered to the superintendent of the Milledgeville State Hospital, there to remain until discharged in the manner prescribed by law.", and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 27-1502, to read as follows:
"27-1502. Plea of mental incompetency to stand trial. (a) Whenever a plea is filed that a defendant in a criminal case is mentally incompetent to stand trial, it shall be the duty of the court to cause the issue of the defendant's mental competency to stand trial to be first tried by a special jury. If the special jury finds the defendant mentally incompetent to stand trial, the court shall retain jurisdiction over the defendant, but shall transfer the defendant to the Department of Human Resources.
(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Department of Human Resources has received actual custody of a person pursuant to subsection (a), such person shall be evaluated and a diagnosis made as to whether the person is presently mentally incompetent to stand trial and if so, whether there is a substantial probability that the person will attain mental competency to stand trial in the foreseeable future. If the person is found to be mentally competent to stand trial, the department shall immediately report that finding and the reasons therefor to the committing court and the person shall be returned to the court as provided in subsection (e).
(c) If the person is found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial by the Department of Human Resources and there is not a substantial probability that the person will attain competency in the foreseeable future, the department shall report that finding and the reasons therefor to the committing court and the person, provided that such person meets the criteria for civil commitment, shall thereupon be civilly committed to a State institution pursuant to the provisions of Code Chapter 88-5 or 88-25, whichever is applicable. If such person does not meet the criteria for civil commitment or if such person after having been committed becomes mentally competent to stand trial, the committing court shall be notified and the person shall be returned to the court as provided in subsection (e).
(d) If the person is found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial but there is
a substantial probability that such person will attain competency in the foreseeable future, by the end of said ninety (90) day period, or at any prior time, the department shall report that finding and the reasons therefor to the committing court and shall retain custody over the individual for the purpose of continued treatment for an addi-
tional period not to exceed nine (9) months. If, by the end of said nine (9) month period, or at any prior time if the person's condition warrants, the person is still found not to be competent to stand trial, irrespective of the probability of recovery in the foresee-
able future, the department shall report that finding and the reasons therefor to the committing court and the person, provided that such person meets the criteria for civil commitment, shall thereupon be civilly committed to a State institution pursuant to
the provisions of Georgia Code Chapter 88-5 or 88-25, whichever is applicable. If such person does not meet the criteria for civil commitment or if such person after having been committed becomes mentally competent to stand trial, the committing court shall be notified and the person shall be returned to the court as provided in subsection (e).

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1977

2333

(e) A person who is found by the Department of Human Resources to be mentally competent to stand trial shall be discharged into the custody of a law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction of the court committing such person to the department, unless the court has dismissed the charges which led to the commitment, in which case the person shall be discharged. In the event a law enforcement officer does not appear and take custody of the person within twenty (20) days after notice to the appropriate law enforcement official in the jurisdiction of the committing court, to the presiding judge of the committing court, and to the prosecuting attorney for such court, the department shall itself return the person to one of the committing court's detention facilities, and the cost of returning such person shall be paid by the county in which the committing court is located. All notifications shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested; provided, that, with the concurrence of the appropriate court, and upon the recommendation of the attending physician, any person discharged as competent to stand trial may be held by the department instead of at the court's detention facilities, whenever, in the attending physician's opinion, such detention in the court's facilities would be detrimental to the well-being of the person so committed. Such detention shall continue only until the date of the person's trial.
(f) Any person returned to the court as provided in subsection (e) shall again be entitled to file a special plea hereunder."
Section 4. An Act providing that in all criminal trials in the courts of this State wherein a contention is made on behalf of the accused that he was mentally incompetent at the time the acts charged against him were committed, the judge shall require the jury to so specify in verdicts of acquittal based on such contention, approved February 15, 1952 (Ga.

In all criminal trials in any of the courts of this State wherein an accused shall contend that he was insane or mentally incompetent under the law at the time of the act or acts charged against him were committed, the trial judge shall instruct the jury that, in case of acquittal on such contention, the jury shall specify in their verdict that the accused person was acquitted because of mental irresponsibility or insanity at the time of the commission of the act. If such a verdict of acquittal shall be returned by a jury in any case, it shall thereupon become the duty of the trial judge to retain jurisdiction of the person and to order the person to be confined in a State hospital for the mentally ill, to be selected by the Department of Public Health, for a period not to exceed one year, and to provide in said order that such person shall not be released from said hospital except upon compliance with the terms and provisions of Chapter 88-5 of the Code of Georgia, relating to hospitalization of the mentally ill, as amended. Should continued hospitalization be necessary following the initial period of hospitalization ordered by the trial judge, the superintendent shall apply for an order of continued hospitalization under the provisions of Section 88-506.6 of the Georgia Code, relating to the procedure for continued hospitalization."
Section 5. Code Title 88, relating to public health, as amended, is hereby amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 88-404.9, relating to release of patients from emergency receiving facilities providing certain care and rehabilitation to alcoholics and drug dependent individuals, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 88-404.9 to read as follows:

The motion prevailed.
The following Bills of the House were taken up for the purpose of considering the Senate amendment or substitute thereto:
HB 255. By: Representatives Hatcher of the 131st, Collins of the 144th, and Gammage of the 17th: A BILL to amend Code Section 92-3105, relating to corporations and organizations exempt from State income tax, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 24, 1976, so as to authorize the deduction of death benefits in connection with the tax on unrelated business income; and for other purposes.
The following Senate substitute was read:
A BILL
To amend Code Chapter 92-31, relating to imposition, rate and computation of and exemption from income taxes, as amended, so as to authorize the deduction by certain exempt organizations of death benefits in connection with the tax on unrelated business income; to provide for a deduction of a portion of certain net gain which is currently included in Georgia taxable income but excluded from federal taxable income; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for severability; to provide for applicability; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 92-31, relating to imposition, rate and computation of and exemption from income taxes, as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of subsection (c) of Code Section 92-3105 the following:
"Provided, however, if an organization is exempt under Section 501 (c) (4) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and such organization makes payments of death benefits as a result of the death of a member of such organization and such payments have been made by such organization for at least five years prior to January 1, 1977, such payments shall be deductible from the unrelated business income tax which might be owed by such organization. The payment of such death benefits shall not operate to generate a rebate or a refund. If the amount of death benefits paid within the taxable year exceeds the unrelated business income tax owed for the same taxable year, such excess may be carried forward for a period of five years.", so that when so amended subsection (c) of Code Section 92-3105 shall read as follows:

2340

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"(c) Unrelated Business Income. Tax is hereby imposed on income from trade or business which is not related to exempt purposes of organizations described in subsection (a) (1). This income shall be referred to as unrelated business income and shall be such income as presently defined in Section 512 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. Tax shall be at the rate provided in Ga. Code Section 92-3102, as amended. Provided, however, if an organization is exempt under Section 501 (cj (4) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and such organization makes payments of death benefits as a result of the death of a member of such organization and such payments have been made by such organization for at least five years prior to January 1^ 1977, such payments shall be deductible from the unrelated business income tax which might be owed by such organization. The payment of such death benefits shall not operate to generate a rebate or a refund. If the amount of death benefits paid within the taxable year exceeds the unrelated business income tax owed for the same taxable year, such excess may be carried forward for a period of five years."
Section 2. Said Code Chapter is further amended by inserting a new sentence at the end of paragraph (6) of subsection (b) of Code Section 92-3102, to read as follows:
"A corporation having a net gain which is not recognized for federal income taxation under the provisions of Section 337 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 but which is added to Georgia taxable income hereunder, shall be allowed a deduction of onehalf of such net gain but not more than one-half of the amount which would be treated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as the excess of the net long-term capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss for such year if it were not for the provisions of Section 337 of said Code."
Section 3. In the event any provision or application of Section 1 of this Act is declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect Section 2 or any other Section of this Act which shall remain of full force and effect as if Section 1 were not originally a part hereof. In the event any provision or application of Section 2 of this Act is declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect Section 1 or any other Section of this Act which shall remain of full force and effect as if Section 2 were not originally a part hereof. In the event any provision or application of either Section 1 or Section 2 of this Act is declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, the General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval and shall apply to all taxable years beginning after such effective date, except that Section 2 shall apply to all tax years ending on or after January 1, 1977.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

(a) Notwithstanding that the governing authority of any county or any municipal corporation, pursuant to the provisions of this Act, provides for the collection and payment of ad valorem taxes on tangible property, other than motor vehicles, in installments based on the fraction of taxes levied on such property for the preceding tax year, the governing authority of any county or any municipal corporation is hereby further authorized to provide by appropriate resolution or ordinance for the collection of and payment of ad valorem taxes on tangible property, other than motor vehicles, in two installments, with a single billing, for the current tax year, based on the current final tax digest as approved by the State Revenue Commissioner. The resolution or ordinance required herein shall be adopted by the governing authority of the county or municipal corporation on or before December 31. Said resolution or ordinance shall be filed with the State Revenue Commissioner and continued in force and effect as provided in Section 2 of this Act and notification of the repeal of said resolution or ordinance shall be as provided in said Section 2.
(b) Those taxes payable in installments and based on the current final tax digest as provided in this Section shall be billed on or before July 1. The first installment on such taxes shall be one-half the entire amount due for the year and shall become due sixty (60) days from the date of billing, and the second installment thereon shall be one-half of the entire amount due for the year and shall become due on December 1. An installment shall become delinquent on the day following its appropriate due date and shall thereupon be subject to a penalty of five percent (5%). That part of the entire amount due which is unpaid after December 20 shall thereafter be subject to interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from December 21 until paid. The provisions of Section 5 of this Act, relating to penalty and interest, shall not apply to installment payments authorized by this Section.'"

children as a prerequisite to their admission to day-care centers; to require a child's parent or guardian to furnish the day-care center with a certificate of such immunization; and for other purposes.

The following Senate substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend an Act known as the "Children and Youth Act," approved March 14, 1963 (Ga. Laws 1963, p. 81), as amended, so as to require the immunization of children as a prerequisite to attending day-care centers for more than a certain period of time; to require a child's parent or guardian to furnish the day-care center with a certificate of such immunization; to authorize the Board of Human Resources to determine what diseases shall be included in such immunization; to provide for procedures relative to such immunization; to make certain acts in violation of such immunization program a misdemeanor; to provide for a punishment; to provide for exceptions; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the "Children and Youth Act," approved March 14, 1963 (Ga. Laws 1963, p. 81), as amended, is hereby amended by adding following Section 26 a new Section to be designated Section 27, to read as follows:
"Section 27. Immunization of children attending day-care centers, (a) Unless the provisions of this Section are complied with, a child shall not receive care in a daycare center in this State for a period exceeding thirty days. Within thirty days after a child initially begins attending a day-care center in this State, a certificate of immunization, or a provisional certificate of immunization indicating that an immunization program to satisfy the requirements of this Act has started, shall be given to the day-care center by the child's parent or guardian. Within one hundred and twenty days after the child for whom a provisional certificate has been given begins attending the day-care center a certificate of immunization shall be given to the daycare center by the child's parent or guardian. The certificate of immunization shall certify that the child has been immunized from the contagious diseases itemized in the appropriate rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Human Resouces and shall be issued by a physician or public health department. The certificate of immunization, or the provisional certificate if a certificate of immunization has not been received, of each child shall be kept on record by the day-care center as long as the child is attending the day-care center.
(b) The Board of Human Resources shall determine which diseases are to be included in the rules and regulations promulgated by the local board of health. The Board of Human Resources shall immediately determine which diseases should be included, and shall convey the list of diseases to the local boards of health. The list of diseases may be revised whenever the Board of Human Resources deems it necessary, and the local boards of health may revise their rules and regulations accordingly.
(c) Any day-care center official, parent or guardian who violates the provisions of this Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than $10 and not more than $100 for each child involved in such violation.
(d) If, in the discretion of the health authority having jurisdiction or any physician licensed under the laws of the State of Georgia, any child to whom this Section applies shall be deemed to have a physical disability which may contraindicate vaccination, a certificate to that effect issued by the health authority or physician may be accepted in lieu of a certificate of vaccination. This exemption shall not apply when such disability shall have been removed.
(e) The provisions of this Section shall not apply if the parent or legal guardian of such child objects thereto on the grounds that such immunization conflicts with the religious beliefs of said parent or guardian; provided that immunization may be

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

required in these cases when such disease is in epidemic stages. To comply with the requirements of this subsection, the parent or guardian must furnish the day-care center an affidavit in which said parent or guardian swears under oath that the immunization required by this Section conflicts with the religious beliefs of said parent or guardian."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

When two vessels are approaching head-on or nearly so, it shall be the duty of each operator to alter his course to the right or starboard, if necessary, in order to provide sufficient clearance to pass the other vessel on the port or left side. Speed shall be reduced by both vessels in order to avoid unnecessary wake. Neither vessel shall have the rightof-way in such situations.
(b) Crossing Situations. Any vessel approaching another within a zone from dead ahead to two (2) points abaft the starboard beam is the privileged vessel and shall have the right-of-way. The other vessel shall be the burdened vessel and shall give way to starboard so as to cross the course of the privileged vessel at her stern.
(c) Overtaking Situations. When one vessel is overtaking another, the overtaking vessel shall be the burdened vessel, and it shall be the duty of the operator of that vessel to stay clear of the vessel being overtaken, passing to the left or port side of the privileged vessel when the way is clear.
(d) Encountering Sailing Vessels. Except when overtaking another vessel, sailing vessels shall be the privileged vessel, and other vessels shall give way to such vessels.
(e) Operating in Channels, Streams or other Narrow Bodies of Water. It shall be the duty of each operator to keep his vessel to the starboard or right side of the center of any channel, stream or other narrow body of water.
(f) Approaching Anchored and Other Nonpowered Vessels. Powered vessels approaching nonpowered vessels shall reduce their speed so that their wake shall not endanger the life or property of those occupying the nonpowered vessel.
(g) Approaching Bends, Points and Other Blind Spots. Whenever a vessel approaches a bend, point or other blind area, it shall be the duty of the operator to: (1) move as far to the right or starboard as possible; (2) reduce speed to allow for an unexpected stop if necessary; (3) sound a blast of 8 to 10 seconds' duration on a sounding device if such a device is carried."

Section 12. Said Act is further amended by adding a new subsection following the present subsection (d) of Section 23 to be designated subsection (e), to read as follows:
"(e) Interference with Arrest. It shall be unlawful for any person to resist or interfere by force, menace, threat or in any other manner, with any arrest for violation of any provision of this Act.

"Section 1. Policy. The provisions of this Act are enacted to further the policy of the State of Georgia to encourage and enable handicapped or elderly persons to participate fully in the social and economic life of Georgia and to encourage and promote their education and rehabilitation.

A BILL

To amend an Act providing minimum salaries for clerks of the superior courts, approved March 30, 1973 (Ga. Laws 1973, p. 256), so as to change the minimum salaries; to change the provisions relating to longevity increases; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. An Act providing minimum salaries for clerks of the superior courts, approved March 30, 1973 (Ga. Laws 1973, p. 256), is hereby amended by striking Section 1 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 1 to read as follows:
"Section 1. Any other provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding, the minimum annual salary of each clerk of the superior court in each county of the State of Georgia shall be fixed according to the population of the county in which he serves as determined by the United States Decennial Census of 1970 or any future such census. Each such clerk shall receive an annual salary, payable in equal monthly installments from the funds of the county, of not less than the amount fixed in the following schedule:

Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking from Section 3 the following: ", provided, however, that such increase shall not apply to any clerk whose minimum salary as set forth in Section 1 above exceeds $12,000 per annum", so that when so amended Section 3 shall read as follows: "Section 3. The amounts provided in Sections 1 and 2 of this Act shall be increased by two and one-half (2 Vfe) percent for each year in office served by any clerk, figured at the end of each such period of service; provided, however, that stteh increase shall

$12,000 per annum. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to affect any provisions of local legislation except where such local legislation provides for a salary lower than the salary provided in this Act, in which event the provisions of this Act shall prevail. Such increase shall not have retroactive effect. The increase per year provided in this Section shall not apply to any year completed prior to the effective date of this Act. This Act shall not be construed to reduce the salary of any clerk of the superior court presently in office. The minimum salaries provided for in this Act shall be considered as salary only. Expenses for deputy clerks, equipment, supplies, copying equipment and other necessary and reasonable expenses for the operation of a clerk's office shall come from funds other than the funds specified as salary in this Act."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

mony, so as to provide that a wife shall not be entitled to alimony under certain conditions; to require the court in cases in which alimony is sought by a wife to receive certain evidence; to authorize alimony in all other cases; to provide that in determining whether or not to grant alimony to the wife the court may consider certain evidence; to provide for liens upon estates; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act providing for modification of permanent alimony, approved March 9, 1955 (Ga. Laws 1955, p. 630), as amended, is hereby amended by striking Section 1 thereof in its entirety, and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 1, to read as follows:
"Section 1. (a) The judgment of a court providing permanent alimony for the support of a wife shall be subject to revision upon petition filed by either spouse showing a change in the income and financial status of either spouse. The judgment of a court providing permanent alimony for the support of a child or children shall be subject to revision upon petition filed by either spouse showing a change in the income and financial status of the husband. In either case such petition shall be filed and returnable under the same rules of procedure applicable to divorce proceedings. No petition may be filed by either spouse under this Act within a period of two years from the date of the filing of a previous petition by said spouse. After hearing both parties and the evidence, the jury, or the judge where a jury is not demanded, by either party, may modify and revise the previous judgment so as to provide for the wife or child or children, or both, in accordance with the changed income and financial status of either spouse in the case of permanent alimony for the support of a wife or in accordance with the changed income and financial status of the husband in the case of permanent alimony for the support of a child or children, if such a change in the income and financial status is satisfactorily proved, so as to warrant such modification and revision. In the hearing upon a petition filed as provided herein, testimony may be given and evidence introduced relative to the income and financial status of either spouse.
(b) Subsequent to a final judgment of divorce awarding periodic payment of alimony for the support of the wife, the voluntary cohabitation of the former wife with a man shall also be grounds to modify provisions made for periodic payments of permanent alimony for the support of the former wife. As used herein, the word cohabitation shall mean dwelling together continuously and openly. In the event the petitioner does not prevail in his petition for modification on the ground as set forth herein, he shall be liable for reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the respondent for the defense of the said action."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking from Section 2 the following: "of the husband", and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "of the husband in cases of permanent alimony for the support of a child or children or of either spouse in cases of permanent alimony for the support of a wife", so that when so amended, Section 2 shall read as follows: "Section 2. Upon such an application, as hereinbefore authorized, the merits of whether the wife, or child or children, or both are entitled in alimony and support are not in issue, but only whether there has been such a substantial change in the income and financial status ef- the huoband of the husband in cases of permanent alimony for the support of a child or children or of either spouse in cases of permanent alimony for the support of a wife as to warrant either a downward or upward revision and modification of the permanent alimony judgment."
Section 3. Code Section 30-102, relating to the grounds authorizing the granting of a total divorce, as amended, is hereby amended by adding to the end of subsection 13 of said Code Section the following:
"Under no circumstances shall the court grant a divorce on this ground until not less than 30 days from the date of service on the defendant.", so that when so amended, subsection 13 shall read as follows:

THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1977

2459

"13. The marriage is irretrievably broken. Under no circumstances shall the court grant a divorce on this ground until not less than 30 days from the date of service on the defendant."
Section 4. Code Section 30-201, relating to permanent and temporary alimony, is hereby amended by adding at the end of said Code Section the following:
"The wife shall not be entitled to alimony if it is established by a preponderance of the evidence that the separation between the parties was caused by the wife's adultery or desertion. In all cases in which alimony is sought by the wife, the court shall receive evidence of the factual cause of the separation even though one or both of the parties may also seek a divorce, regardless of the grounds upon which a divorce is sought or granted by the court. In all other cases in which alimony is sought by the wife, alimony is authorized, but not required, to be awarded to the wife in accordance with her needs and the husband's ability to pay. In determining whether or not to grant alimony to the wife, the court shall also consider evidence of the husband's conduct toward the wife. Should the husband die prior to the court's order on the issues of alimony, the rights of the wife shall survive and be a lien upon the estate of the deceased. Pending final determination by the court of the wife's right to alimony, the husband shall not make any substantial change in the assets of his estate except in the course of ordinary business affairs and bona fide transfers for value.", so that when so amended, Code Section 30-201 shall read as follows:
"30-201. Definition. Permanent and temporary. Alimony is an allowance out of the husband's estate, made for the support of the wife when living separate from him. It is either temporary or permanent. The wife shall not be entitled to alimony if it is established by a preponderance of the evidence that the separation between the parties was caused by the wife's adultery or desertion. In all cases in which alimony is sought by the wife, the court shall receive evidence of the factual cause of the separation even though one or both of the parties may also seek a divorce, regardless of the grounds upon which a divorce is sought or granted by the court. In all other cases in which alimony is sought by the wife, alimony is authorized, but not required, to be awarded tQ the wife in accordance with her needs and the husband's ability to pay. In determining whether or not to grant alimony to the wife, the court shall also consider evidence of the husband's conduct toward the wife. Should the husband die prior to the court's order on the issues of alimony, the rights of the wife shall survive and be a lien upon the estate of the deceased. Pending final determination by the court of the wife's right to alimony, the husband shall not make any substantial change in the assets of his estate except in the course of ordinary business affairs and bona fide transfers for value."
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The Committee shall be authorized to study and review the State laws relating to mental health, mental retardation and drug and alcohol abuse, specifically, but not limited to Georgia Code Chapters 88-4, 88-5 and 88-25, and to prepare proposed legislation to compile, consolidate and revise these laws as necessary. The Committee is further authorized to conduct meetings and public hearings at such places and at such times as it considers expedient and to do all other things consistent with this Resolution which are necessary or convenient to enable it to fully and adequately exercise its powers, perform its duties and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this Resolution.

On the passage of the Bill, as amended, the ayes were 136, nays 0.
The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed, as amended.

THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1977

2471

Representative Rainey of the 135th stated that he had been called from the floor of the House when the roll was called on SB 256, but had he been present would have voted "aye" thereon.

The following Bill of the House was taken up for the purpose of considering the Senate substitute thereto:

HB 1047. By: Representative Taggart of the 125th: A BILL to amend an Act known as the "Revenue Tax Act to Legalize and Control Alcoholic Beverages and Liquors", as amended, so as to provide that no initial license to sell distilled spirits or alcoholic beverages shall be issued by the State Revenue Commissioner until the applicant has exhibited a license granted by the municipality; and for other purposes.

The following Senate substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend an Act known as the "Revenue Tax Act to Legalize and Control Alcoholic Beverages and Liquors", approved February 3, 1938 (Ga. Laws 1937-38, Ex. Sess., p. 103), as amended, so as to provide that no initial license to sell distilled spirits or alcoholic beverages shall be issued by the State Revenue Commissioner until the applicant has exhibited a license granted by the municipality, if the place of business to be conducted is within the corporate limits of a municipality, or by the governing authorities of the county where the place of business to be conducted is located, if such place of business is outside the corporate limits of a town or city; to provide for the annual renewal of licenses by the State Revenue Commissioner; to provide for the refund of certain license fees; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the "Revenue Tax Act to Legalize and Control Alcoholic Beverages and Liquors", approved February 3, 1938 (Ga. Laws 1937-38, Ex. Sess., p. 103), as amended, is hereby further amended by striking from the first sentence of subsection (d) of Section 9, the following:
"No license shall be granted by the Revenue Commissioner", and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"No initial license shall be granted by the State Revenue Commissioner", and by adding following the first sentence of subsection (d) of Section 9, the following sentences:
"On annual renewal of a license, the State Revenue Commissioner may issue a license without requiring the applicant to exhibit a license granted by the municipality, if the place of business is within the corporate limits of a municipality, or by the governing authority of the county where the place of business is located, if such place of business is outside the corporate limits of a town or city. In the event the State Revenue Commissioner denies an application for a license, the license fee charged by the municipality or county shall be refunded to the applicant provided the place of business for which a license is sought has never operated.", so that when so amended said first three sentences of subsection (d) of Section 9 shall read as follows: "(d) No initial license shall be granted by the State Revenue Commissioner until the applicant has exhibited a license granted by the municipality, if the place of business to be conducted is within the corporate limits of a municipality, or by the governing authority of the county where the place of business to be conducted is located, if such place of business is outside the corporate limits of a town or city, and the local authority issuing this license shall have full authority to pass on the character, reliability and

2472

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

other qualities of fitness before issuing such license. On annual renewal of a license, the State Revenue Commissioner may issue a license without requiring the applicant to exhibit a license granted by the municipality, if the place of business is within the corporate limits of a municipality, or by the governing authority of the county where the place of business is located, if such place of business is outside the corporate limits of a town or city. In the event the State Revenue Commissioner denies an application for a license, the license fee charged by the municipality or county shall be refunded to the applicant provided the place of business for which a license is sought has never operated."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Mr. Speaker

On the motion, the ayes were 153, nays 0. The motion prevailed.

The following message was received from the Senate through Mr. McWhorter, the Secretary thereof:

Mr. Speaker: The Senate insists on its substitute to the following Bill of the House:

HB 262. By: Representative Greer of the 43rd: A BILL to amend an Act providing for the compensation and allowance of certain State officials so as to provide for a change in the compensation and expenses of certain State officials; to provide for matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; and for other purposes.

2500

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Under the general order of business, established by the Committee on Rules, the following Bill of the Senate was again taken up for consideration:

SB 134. By: Senators Traylor of the 3rd, Hudgins of the 15th, Wessels of the 2nd, and others: A BILL to provide for a cohesive statewide emergency telephone number system; to provide a short title; to provide for legislative intent; to define certain terms; to provide for a statewide plan; to provide for regional systems; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To provide for the development of a cohesive statewide emergency telephone number "911" system; to provide a short title; to provide for legislative intent; to define certain terms; to provide for an Emergency Telephone Number Committee; to provide for a statewide plan; to provide for regional systems; to provide for administration by the Office of Telecommunications of the Department of Administrative Services; to provide for coordination between the telephone industry and the Public Service Commission; to provide for enforcement; to provide for existing emergency telephone number service; to provide for federal assistance; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Short Title. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Georgia Emergency Telephone Number 911 Service Act of 1977."
Section 2. Legislative Intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that it is in the public's interest to shorten the time required for a citizen to request and receive emergency aid. There currently exist numerous different emergency phone numbers throughout the State. Provision for a single, primary three-digit emergency number through which emergency services can be quickly and efficiently obtained would provide a significant contribution to law enforcement and other public service efforts by making it easier to notify public safety personnel. Such a simplified means of procuring emergency services will result in the saving of lives, a reduction in the destruction of property and quicker apprehension of criminals. It is the intent of the legislature to establish and implement a cohesive statewide emergency telephone number "911" system which will provide citizens with rapid direct access to public safety agencies by dialing telephone number "911" with the objective of reducing the response time to situations requiring law enforcement, fire, medical, rescue and other emergency services.
Section 3. Definitions. As used in this Act, unless the context clearly requires otherwise:
(a) "office" means the Office of Telecommunications of the Department of Administrative Services;
(b) "local government" means any city, county or political subdivision of Georgia and its agencies;
(c) "public agency" means the State and any city, county, city and county, municipal corporation, chartered organization, public district or public authority located in whole or in part within this State which provides or has authority to provide fire fighting, law enforcement, ambulance, medical or other emergency services;
(d) "public safety agency" means a functional division of a public agency which provides fire fighting, law enforcement, emergency medical, suicide prevention, civil defense, poison control or other emergency services.
Section 4. Emergency Telephone Number Committee. For the purposes of the development and implementation of a plan for the statewide emergency telephone number "911", there is hereby created the Emergency Telephone Number Committee to be composed of the Director of the Office of Telecommunications of the Department of Adminis-

THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1977

2501

trative Services, who shall serve as chairman; the Commissioner of Community Development, or his designee; and ten other members appointed by the Governor as follows:
(1) Three members appointed from nominees of the Georgia Municipal Association, (2) Three members appointed from nominees of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia, and (3) Four members who are experienced in emergency telephone systems. When appointments are made, the associations making nominations pursuant to this Section shall submit at least three times as many nominees as positions to be filled at that time by nominees of the association. The appointed members of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Governor. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.
Section 5. State Plan, (a) The office shall develop a plan for implementing a statewide emergency telephone number "911" system. The plan shall provide for:
(1) the review and analysis of progress maintained by public agencies in developing emergency telephone communication requirements as required for the "911" system;
(2) steps of action necessary for public agencies to effect the necessary coordination, regulation and development preliminary to a "911" system that will incorporate the requirements of each public service agency in local government of Georgia;
(3) identification of mutual aid agreements necessary to effect the "911" system, including coordination in behalf of the State of Georgia with any federal government agency to secure financial assistance or other activities desirable to take funding that may be provided to communities for the planning, development or implementation of the "911" system;
(4) the coordination necessary between local governments planning or developing a "911" system with other necessary State agencies, Public Service Commission, all affected utility and telephone companies or other agencies;
(5) a firm implementation schedule which will account for the progress achieved in each political subdivision and which can be reproduced in an annual report of progress;
(6) the establishment of the public agency emergency telephone communications to meet the requirements for each entity of local government including law enforcement, fire, medical, suicide, rescue or other emergency services.
(b) The plan shall be submitted to the Emergency Telephone Number Committee at least thirty days prior to its effective date. The plan shall become effective on its effective date unless the Emergency Telephone Number Committee rejects the plan by majority vote of the members of the Committee prior to the effective date of the plan.
(c) The office shall be responsible to encourage and promote the planning, development and implementation of each local "911" system plan. The office shall promulgate any necessary rules, regulations and schedules related to public agencies for implementing and coordinating such a plan and shall act as the deciding agency whenever disputes or agreements cannot be reached between the local political jurisdiction and other public agencies involving the "911" system.
Section 6. Regional Systems. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit or discourage the formation of multijurisdictional or regional "911" systems; and any system established pursuant to this Act may include the jurisdiction, or any portion thereof, of more than one public agency.
Section 7. Telephone Industry Coordination. The office shall coordinate with the Public Service Commission which shall encourage the Georgia telephone industry to activate facility modification plans for a timely "911" implementation.
Section 8. System Approval. After January 1, 1978, no emergency telephone number "911" system shall be established and no present system shall be expanded without prior approval and designation in the plan administered by the office.
Section 9. Compliance. All public agencies shall assist the office in its efforts to carry out the intent of this Act, and such agencies shall comply with the developed plan

2502

Section 10. Federal Assistance. The office is authorized to apply for and accept federal funding assistance in the development and implementation of a statewide emergency telephone number "911" system.

A BILL
To amend an Act requiring State agencies to require certain reports and agreements from nonprofit contractors who contract with and receive public funds from the State agency, approved March 31, 1976 (Ga.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act requiring State agencies to require certain reports and agreements from nonprofit contractors who contract with and receive public funds from the State agency, approved March 31, 1976 (Ga. Laws 1976, p. 1414), is hereby amended by striking Section Kb) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section Kb), to read as follows:
"(b) 'Nonprofit contractor' means any individual, partnership, corporation, association, organization or similar entity which contracts with and receives public funds from a State agency to provide services on a nonprofit basis. The term 'nonprofit contractor' shall include only those entities no part of the income or profit of which is distributable to its members, directors, officers or any other private person.

The General Assembly finds that the State has a right and a duty to monitor nonprofit contractors who contract with the State to ensure that their activities are in the public interest and to ensure that public funds are used for proper purposes. The General Assembly finds that for these reasons there is a need for a law providing a reporting procedure to ensure the financial accountability of nonprofit contractors and to develop adequate information about the nonprofit contractors. The General Assembly finds that such procedure is necessary to adequately establish the dimensions of the relationship between the State agency and the nonprofit contractor."
Section 3. Said Act is further amended by striking from subsection (a) of Section 2 the following:

(b) The provisions of this Act shall not apply to the following: (1) contracts entered into after competitive bids including amendments thereto;

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. The General Assembly hereby recognizes the importance of effective and economical public utilities to the economy of the State of Georgia. It is further recognized that the citizens of Georgia should receive adequate utility services at the lowest reasonable cost to the consumer while maintaining the ability of public utilities to furnish their products and services. It is further recognized that the Georgia Public Service Commission has been established for the purpose of regulating public utilities and the rates which they charge the consumer and that the Commission is responsible for representing the public interest. The General Assembly is aware, however, that the Public Service Commission must be furnished with all available information concerning the effects of its decisions in rate cases and proceedings before it. It is the purpose of this Act to insure that the Public Service Commission receives such information, particularly in those cases which directly involve the vast majority of Georgia's citizens.
Section 2. As used in this Act: (a) "Administrator" means the administrator of the Fair Business Practices Act of 1975, approved April 10, 1975 (Ga. Laws 1975, p. 376), as the same may now or hereafter be amended. (b) "Consumer" means an individual who is a personal, noncommercial user of the product or service of a public utility which is under the jurisdiction of the Georgia Public Service Commission. "Consumer" shall also mean and include any sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation which is a commercial user of the product or service of a public utility which is under the jurisdiction of the Georgia Public Service Commission and which has 10 or fewer employees or a net income after taxes of $100,000 per annum or less for federal income tax purposes.
Section 3. (a) There is hereby created the position of Consumers' Utility Counsel, which shall be attached for administrative purposes only, as that term is defined in Section 3 of the Executive Reorganization Act of 1972, to the office of the Administrator of the Fair Business Practices Act of 1975. The Consumers' Utility Counsel shall be appointed by the Attorney General and shall serve at his pleasure. The Consumers' Utility Counsel shall be a practicing attorney qualified by knowledge and experience to practice in public utility proceedings. The Consumers' Utility Counsel shall receive compensation in an amount to be determined by the Attorney General, but not to exceed that provided by law for a District Attorney. In addition to such compensation, the Consumers' Utility Counsel shall also receive reimbursement for his reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his duties, as provided by law for State employees. No person employed as Consumers' Utility Counsel shall engage in the private practice of law while employed as Consumers' Utility Counsel. The actions of the Consumers' Utility

(b) During the period of his employment, and for a period of five years following the termination of his employment, it shall be unlawful for any person employed as Consumers' Utility Counsel to directly or indirectly provide legal services to, or be employed in any capacity by, a public utility, its parent or its subsidiary companies, corporations or cooperatives, but such person may otherwise engage in the private practice of law after the termination of his employment as Consumers' Utility Counsel. Any person violating the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 nor more than 5 years or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or both.

(b) The Consumers' Utility Counsel may also appear in the same representative capacity in similar administrative proceedings affecting the consumers of this State before any federal administrative agency or body which has regulatory jurisdiction over rates, services, and similar matters with respect to services provided by any person, firm, or corporation under a franchise, certificate of public convenience and necessity, or similar instrument issued by such agency or body.
(c) The Consumers' Utility Counsel shall be authorized in the same representative capacity to initiate proceedings, by complaint or otherwise, before any federal or State administrative agency, before whom he is otherwise authorized to appear, with respect to matters properly within the cognizance of those agencies.
(dl The Consumers' Utility Counsel shall be authorized in the same representative capacity to initiate, or intervene as of right or otherwise appear in, any judicial proceedings involving or arising out of any action taken by an administrative agency in a proceeding in which the Consumers' Utility Counsel was authorized to appear under subsections (al, (b) or (c) of this Section.
Section 5. (a) In addition to other requirements of service and notice now imposed by law, a copy of any application, correspondence, complaint, pleading, paper or notice to or issued by the Georgia Public Service Commission shall also be served on the Consumers' Utility Counsel. The Commission shall not proceed to hear or determine any petition, complaint, or proceeding in which the Consumers' Utility Counsel is entitled to appear unless it shall affirmatively appear that the Consumers' Utility Counsel was given at least 10 days' written notice thereof, unless such notice is affirmatively waived in writing or the Consumers' Utility Counsel appears and specifically waives such notice.
(b) The Consumers' Utility Counsel is hereby authorized to take depositions and obtain discovery of any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in any proceeding or petition before the Public Service Commission in the same manner and subject to the same procedures which would otherwise be applicable if such proceeding was then pending before a superior court. The superior courts and the judges and clerks thereof are hereby authorized to issue all orders, injunctions, subpoenas, and to take all actions necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.
Section 6. The Consumers' Utility Counsel is hereby authorized to employ such assistance as may be needed by the Consumers' Utility Counsel and is hereby authorized to

To repeal Code Section 113-107; to amend Code Chapter 113-10, relating to year's support to family, so as to provide for notice to interested persons in an unrepresented and represented estate and in an estate treated as if it had no representative; to provide for notice to persons who were minors at the time of a year's support for the joint benefit of the widow and minor children where the applicant seeks to convey or encumber said property; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 113-1002, relating to appraisers for year's support to family, is hereby amended by striking the words "on notice to the representative of the estate (if there be one, and if none, without notice)."
Section 2. Code Chapter 113-10 is hereby amended by adding after Code Section 113-1005, relating to year's support and appraisers' return, the following new Code Sections 113-1005.1, 113-1005.2 and 113-1005.3:
"113-1005.1. If there is a representative of the decedent's estate, then in addition to the requirements of Code Section 113-1005, the Judge of the Probate Court or his clerk shall cause a copy of the citation to be sent by mail to the representative of the decedent's estate. The copy of the citation shall be sent not less than twenty-one days prior to the date and time shown in the citation.
113-1005.2. If there is no representative of the decedent's estate, then, in addition to the requirements of Code Section 113-1005, the applicant or the attorney for the applicant shall file with the Probate Court an affidavit, upon oath, (a) showing the name, last known address, if known, and age (if less than age 18) of each interested person and (b) stating that the applicant or the attorney for the applicant has listed all interested persons known to him and that he has made reasonable inquiry to ascertain the names, last known addresses, and ages of all interested persons. The Judge of the Probate Court or his clerk shall cause a copy of the citation to be sent by mail to each interested person shown on the aforementioned affidavit. The copy of the citation shall be sent not less than twenty-one days prior to the date and time shown in the citation. If any of the interested persons are minors or have been adjudicated incompetent, guardians-ad-litem shall be appointed by the Court or the year's support proceedings shall not be conclusive as to them. The term 'interested person' as used in this Section shall be deemed to refer to the following: decedent's heirs, devisees, children, spouses, creditors, beneficiaries, and any others having a property right in or claim against the estate of a decedent which may be affected by the year's support proceeding.
113-1005.3. If the sole representative of the decedent's estate and the applicant or the guardian of the applicant are the same person, then the provisions of Code Section 113-1005.2 referring to an unrepresented estate shall govern as if the decedent's estate had no representative."
Section 3. Code Section 113-1026, relating to year's support and application for judge's approval, is hereby amended by striking said Section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 113-1026, to read as follows:

by the guardian for any one or more of the children for whose benefit the year's support was set apart. Thereupon, the judge of the probate court shall set a date for hearing on the application and appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the minor beneficiaries, who shall accept the appointment in writing.

In addition to the requirements of the preceding sentence, the judge of the probate court or his clerk shall cause a copy of the notice to be sent by mail to each child for whose benefit the year's support was set apart who has attained age 18 at the time the application is filed. Said notice shall be sent not less than 10 days prior to the date set for such hearing. Objections, if any, shall be made in writing."

To permit the purchase of liability insurance or contracts of indemnity or the formulation of sound programs of self-insurance by State agencies; to permit the Commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services to purchase liability insurance or contracts of indemnity on behalf of the State agencies or to formulate a program of self-insurance for such agencies; to provide for a reserve fund; to provide that this Act shall not constitute a waiver of immunity for the State or other public bodies; to provide for severability; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. In addition to any other compensation which may be paid to an officer, official or employee of any agency, board, bureau, commission, department or authority of this State, each such agency, board, bureau, commission, department or authority is hereby authorized, in its discretion, to purchase policies of liability insurance, contracts of indemnity or to formulate sound programs of self-insurance utilizing funds available to such agency, board, bureau, commission, department or authority, insuring or indemnifying such officers, officials or employees to the extent they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. Such agencies, boards, bureaus, commissions, departments or authorities may expend federal and State or other available funds for such purposes. The amount of such insurance or indemnity shall also be in the discretion of such agency, board, bureau, commission, department or authority. For purposes of this Act,

2552

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the term "agency" shall specifically include, but shall not be limited to, public retirement systems of Statewide application established by the laws of this State, but shall not include counties or municipalities. The existence of such insurance or indemnification shall not be disclosed or suggested in any action brought against such individual.
Section 2. When the Commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services determines that an adequate number of agencies, boards, bureaus, commissions, departments or authorities of this State have requested him to do so, he shall have the authority to purchase policies of liability insurance or contracts of indemnity insuring or indemnifying the officers, officials or employees of such agencies, boards, bureaus, commissions, departments or authorities against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith under a master policy or on a blanket coverage basis with or without deductibles or excess coverage. In such event, the Commissioner may alternatively retain all monies paid to the Department of Administrative Services as premiums on such policies of liability insurance or contracts of indemnity, all monies received as interest and all monies received from other sources, to set up and maintain a reserve fund for the payment of such liability under, and the expenses necessary to administer properly, a self-insurance program. If the Commissioner decides to institute a self-insurance program, he shall establish and maintain a reserve fund for the payment of liabilities arising out of claims against officers, officials and employees of the State. The Commissioner shall invest any such monies in the same manner as other monies in his possession.
Section 3. Nothing in this Act shall constitute a waiver of the immunity of the State from suit.
Section 4. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 6. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

However, this increase shall not include within-grade step increases for which classified employees of the State Merit System are eligible.

"Each member of the General Assembly shall also receive the allowances provided by law except that in lieu of the 10 cents per mile now provided as a mileage allowance, each member shall receive 12 cents per mile as a mileage allowance."
Section 4. (a) Whenever any State board or commission which sets the compensation of the chief executive officer of a State agency whose compensation is not set by the Constitution or by law intends to consider an increase in the compensation of such chief executive officer, the board or commission shall publicly announce such intent prior to granting the increase, and shall also notify, in writing, each member of the Appropriations Committee of each House of the General Assembly and the Governor. The public announcement shall be made at the public meeting held immediately prior to the meeting of the board or commission at which the increased compensation is considered, and prior notice shall be at least thirty (30) days.
(b) The public announcement by the board or commission shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting, and consideration of such increase shall be clearly scheduled as a separate agenda item for the meeting of the board or commission at which such increased compensation is to be considered.
(c) No increase in compensation granted by the board or commission shall be effective unless the board or commission complies with the provisions of this Section of this Act and unless such increase is authorized in a public meeting.
