JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Dear Speaker Murphy:
I have vetoed House Bills 246, 247, 1026, 1312, 1320, 1598, 1636, 1786, 1804 and 1987 which were passed by the General Assembly of Georgia at the 1978 Regular Session.
Article V, Section II, Paragraph VI of the Constitution requires that I transmit such bills to you, together with a list of reasons for such vetoes. The bills and corresponding reasons for their veto are enclosed.
Sincerely,
/s/George Busbee
GB:ctl Enclosures CC: Honorable Glenn W. Ellard, Clerk, House of Representatives Honorable Frank H. Edwards, Legislative Counsel Honorable Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General Honorable Ben W. Fortson, Jr., Secretary of State

Veto No. 16 - H. B. 1987 by Representatives Cooper, Kaley and Wilson of the 19th and others
House Bill 1987 is a bill affecting only the City of Austell. Because of technical problems found within the bill, all of the authors of the bill have requested that it not be allowed to become law. Accordingly, in order to accommodate the wishes of the authors, I have vetoed House Bill 1987.
Veto No. 17 - H. B. 1320 by Representative Burruss of the 21st
House Bill 1320 allows certain larger caliber handguns to be used for hunting deer and allows shotguns used for hunting deer to have a capacity of five shells. Additionally, the sale of any device for converting a muzzle-loading handgun into a breech-loading handgun is prohibited within Georgia. The latter provisions of the bill were added late in the legis lative process without the benefit of or opportunity for thoughtful and careful analysis of the possible ramifications of such a prohibition. Due to the possibility that the bill might likewise prohibit the sale of such conversion devices outside the State of Georgia, the author of the bill requested that I veto House Bill 1320.
Veto No. 18 - H. B. 1026 by Representative Bray of the 70th
The intent of the author of House Bill 1026 was to amend the Orthotists Practice Act to extend the deadline for registering certain orthotists and orthotist assistants without examination. Additionally, additional educational requirements are prescribed for appli cants for licenses. House Bill 1026 was introduced during the 1977 session of the General Assembly. The extension of dates which was satisfactory if the bill had passed in 1977 was not changed to correctly carry out the bill's original intention. The additional time sought for registration has long since passed. Also, House Bill 1026 contains a "3 c's" amendment which is a clear violation of the separation of power provision of the Constitution. For the foregoing reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 1026.
Veto No. 19 - H. B. 246 by Representatives Logan of the 62nd, Gignilliat of the 122nd, Battle of the 124th and others
In order to avoid undue proliferation of electronic data processing equipment, to better and more fully utilize such equipment, and in order to provide more economical data pro cessing capabilities to all State agencies within the Executive Branch of State Government, in 1972 the Executive Reorganization Act authorized the Governor to centralize the control and management of such equipment by transferring the electronic data processing service functions of all departments, boards and bureaus within the Executive Branch of State

MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1979

43

Government to the Department of Administrative Services. The transfer of these functions to one agency so that such functions may be better managed and serve the needs of all State agencies has proven to be a wise and economically prudent decision. Seventy percent of the State's electronic data processing equipment is utilized by the State Board of Regents. House Bill 246 would remove all electronic data processing equipment used by the Board of Regents from the provisions of the Executive Reorganization Act. Such a move is not in the best interests of the State; is not warranted by any demonstrable need and would seriously jeopardize the future capabilities of the State to satisfy the data pro cessing needs and requirements of other State agencies. For these reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 246.
Veto No. 20 - H. B. 247 by Representatives Jones of the 126th, Colwell of the 4th, Hudson of the 137th and others
House Bill 247 provides that the Department of Offender Rehabilitation shall reimburse each county for the costs, not to exceed $7.00 per day, of incarceration of each prisoner which is sentenced to confinement in a penal institution under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Corrections for each day, excluding the first 30 days, such prisoner remains incar cerated in the county jail when there is no appeal pending". The estimated costs of this program for the next fiscal year is in excess of 1.7 million dollars. The General Assembly did not appropriate any funds to carry out this program. I have examined the available funds to the Department of Offender Rehabilitation for the next fiscal year, and without seriously jeopardizing other existing programs of the Department, there are no funds avail able to the Department to implement this program. Also, absolutely no administrative con trols or procedures have been provided within the bill. Without such controls the potential and likelihood for substantial abuses of the program are manifest. A thoughtful and care fully conceived program to achieve the desired ends deserves serious consideration and could result in the enactment of an attractive and responsible program. Such is not the case with the present legislation under consideration. Because of lack of funding and because no administrative controls are present to minimize potential abuses of the pro gram, I have vetoed House Bill 247.
Veto No. 21 - H. B. 1786 by Representative Ham of the 80th
House Bill 1786 amends a 1977 Act, a portion of which amended a 1968 Act which prohibits the discharge of a firearm on Sundays except under certain specified circum stances. House Bill 1786 provides that in only one county out of the 159 counties in this State, between the hours of 9:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. on Sundays, a firearm may not be discharged by any member of the immediate family, guest, invitee or lessees of the owner of the property upon which the firearm is discharged. In the remaining 158 counties, such conduct is permissable at any hour. The Georgia Supreme Court in dealing with a closely related and similar Act of the General Assembly which prohibited sport fishing on Sunday in only three counties of this State while permitting such fishing in the remaining 156 counties, unanimously concluded that such a classification was arbitrary, was not reason ably related to the subject matter and, therefore, was a violation of the equal protection clause of this State's Constitution. Because House Bill 1786 would similarly result in a clear denial of equal protection of the law, I have exercised my veto power.
Veto No. 25 - H. B. 1312 by Representatives Swann of the 90th, Truluck of the 86th, Burton of the 47th and others
The General Assembly enacted two bills (S. B. 408 and H. B. 1312) prohibiting the sexual exploitation of minors. To allow both bills to become law would have added unnecessary confusion to what has become a complex and intricate area of the law. Senate Bill 408 had previously received my approval. The authors of House Bill 1312 also support Senate Bill 408. In order to avoid unnecessary complexities for prosecutors, and due to the fact that a portion of House Bill 1312 covers already adequately addressed prohibitions within the law, I have vetoed House Bill 1312.
Veto No. 26 - H. B. 1598 by Representative Ham of the 80th

44

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

House Bill 1598 provides that the siting of any public school in counties having a popu lation of less than 85,000 shall not be subject to or controlled by any municipal or county zoning law or ordinance. Article IX, Section IV, Paragraph II of the Constitution specifi cally, through a self-executing grant of authority, empowers counties, municipalities and any combination thereof, to exercise the power of planning and zoning. Additionally, the General Assembly is specifically and unequivocally prohibited from in any manner regu lating, restricting or limiting the power or authority of any such political subdivisions to plan and zone by the very same Paragraph. House Bill 1598 clearly violates such provi sions of the Georgia Constitution. For this reason, I have vetoed House Bill 1598.

Veto No. 27 - H. B. 1636 by Representatives Baugh of the 108th and Parham of the 109th
House Bill 1636 amends the Physician's Assistants Act to provide that those physician assistants who were certified on July 1, 1975 shall not be required to take any examination in order to retain their certificate. Also, the restriction on the number of physician assis tants which may be employed in a public or private health care institution, hospital or organization is removed so that any number of such assistants may be so employed. Addi tionally, assistants employed in a public or private health care institution, hospital or orga nization may be exempted from any provision of the Act. The physician assistant program has proven to be a valuable adjunct to the health care delivery system. House Bill 1636 possesses the potential to lower the standards and safeguards which were instituted to insure the maintenance of high standards of medical care. Many medical practitioners and physician assistants are of the opinion that in view of the large potential for abuses which is possible under the provisions of House Bill 1636, that the credibility of the program will be seriously jeopardized if the bill were to become law. In order to maintain the highest possible standards of medical care services, I have vetoed House Bill 1636.

Veto No. 28 - H. B. 1804 by Representatives Peters of the 2nd and Ramsey of the 3rd
House Bill 1804 provides that in only one county of this State in which the local option sales tax is imposed that the distribution formula of the proceeds of the tax levy shall be altered so that that county is to receive the entire proceeds of the tax. The State Constitu tion mandates that taxes be levied uniformly under general laws. The population classifi cation within House Bill 1804 is drawn so narrowly as to raise serious constitutional problems. Additionally, the present distribution formula for the county in question was initially approved by the electors of the county. This formula would be changed by House Bill 1804 without the acquiescence of the electors who originally approved of the addition al tax levy. For the foregoing reasons, and in order to preserve the uniformity of the sales tax law, I have vetoed House Bill 1804.

Veto No. 22 - S. B. 448 by Senators McGill of the 24th, Turner of the 8th, Russell of the 10th and others
Senate Bill 448 would change the method of payment for livestock purchased at auction. Due to technical problems discovered within the bill, I have vetoed the bill at the request of the authors. The deficiencies within the bill were discovered in sufficient time to allow the authors to introduce and pass other legislation which has successfully accomplished their originally intended goal.

Veto No. 23 - S. R. 125 by Senator English of the 21st
Senate Resolution 125 authorizes the conveyance of approximately five acres of Stateowned property to the City of Swainsboro. This conveyance has been authorized by previ ously approved action of the General Assembly (Res. Act No. 32 - Ga. Laws 1977, p. 1539) and the conveyance of such property has been executed to the City of Swainsboro. In view

MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1979

45

of the fact that additional authorization to effect the transfer of this property is unnec essary, I have vetoed Senate Resolution 125.
Veto No. 24 - S. B. 547 by Senator Allgood of the 22nd

Senate Bill 547 allows foreign corporations to be sued in matters of contract in the county where the contract was made or is to be performed and in matters of tort in the county where the cause of action originated. Presently, both foreign and domestic corporations may be sued only in counties where the corporation has a registered office or in a county in which the corporation has an office and transacts business. The Georgia Constitution requires that defendants be sued in the county of their residence. While the General Assembly may define residency for the purposes of suing corporations, never before has the General Assembly attempted to expand the definition of residency to include counties in which the corporation has not had significant intentional activity. Accordingly, there is a substantial likelihood that Senate Bill 547 violates the venue provisions of the Georgia Constitution. Additionally, since domestic and foreign corporations would be treated dif ferently under Senate Bill 547, serious equal protection questions under the 14th Amend ment to the U. S. Constitution are raised. An Arkansas statute allowing foreign corporations to be sued in a like manner as is provided for in Senate Bill 547 was declared by the U. S. Supreme Court to be unconstitutional. Congressional activity transpiring in regards to the diversity jurisdiction of the Federal district courts may well dictate the wisdom of considering some changes in our corporate venue law. However, due to the serious constitutional problems within Senate Bill 547, the Corporation Commissioner has requested that the bill not be allowed to become law thus allowing for the opportunity for careful and thoughtful study by all concerned as to the implications of any such changes. Accordingly, I have vetoed Senate Bill 547.

Veto 29 - S. B. 467 by Senators Broun of the 46th, Lester of the 23rd and Overby of the 49th
Senate Bill 457 provides that the State Commission on Compensation's responsibilities in assisting the General Assembly in establishing the compensation of state officers and members of the General Assembly shall extend to each full-time chief executive officer of each state executive branch board, bureau, commission, committee, department or agency. Additionally, the bill provides for meetings of the commission and makes certain changes with regard to reports submitted by the commission to the General Assembly. For the reasons which I have announced in my veto message for Senate Bill 499, and due to my belief that the authority to fix the compensation of members of the executive branch should remain within the executive branch, I have vetoed Senate Bill 457.

Veto 30 - S. B. 499 by Senator Gillis of the 20th
Senate Bill 499 would fix the salary of 21 state officials whose compensation is presently determined by statutorily created governing boards, commissions or by the State Merit System. In this bill, the specified salary for each such official would have been the salary that official was receiving in December 1977. The result would be that, upon the effective date of the bill in April 1979, certain department heads would automatically receive a reduction in pay.
While I fully agree that the present methods and procedures for fixing the compensation of these 21 officials leaves much to be desired in terms of coordination and equity, I feel that to sign this bill into law in its present form would be unwise. The power to set sal aries is one of the most basic of management tools.
Without continuing flexibility on the part of the boards to fix the compensation of depart ment heads, the State might find itself in the position of losing talent or simply unable

to attract capable men and women for key positions. For the foregoing reasons, I have vetoed Senate Bill 499.
Veto No. 31 - S. B. 43 by Senators Coverdell of the 40th, Howard of the 42nd and Riley of the 1st

Senate Bill 43 establishes a Department of Actuarial Services and prescribes duties and responsibilities for the Department. The principle function of the new Department would be to analyze and determine the actuarial effect of proposed legislation dealing with retire
ment matters and to advise both the Executive and Legislative Branches with respect to such legislation. In addition, the Department would recommend uniform assumptions necessary for sound policy decisions concerning retirement matters and make periodic reports to the Governor and General Assembly concerning retirement and pensions. I am in complete support of the objectives of this legislation and in full agreement with the major premise advanced by its authors. However, the legislation provides for an annual salary for the State Actuary of $30,000, and I am advised that a gross salary of this amount would be inadequate to attract an experienced actuary of demonstrated compe tence. In addition, I am persuaded that we can obtain those actuarial services prescribed in Senate Bill 43 without establishing a new department of state government which would have to be accompanied by the full support mechanism of a new department, such as accounting and personnel services, etc. For these administrative reasons, I have vetoed Senate Bill 43 but I will, through executive action, implement the basic purposes of this legislation by creating in the Office of Planning and Budget, an actuarial position to which will be assigned responsibilities similar to those set forth in Senate Bill 43.

Veto No. 32 - S. B. 509 by Senator Greene of the 26th
Senate Bill 509 changes the procedures for the revocation and suspension of licenses and permits issued by the Department of Natural Resources for violations of the Game and Fish laws. Senate Bill 509 requires that a majority of the Board of Natural Resources must concur in the action of the Commissioner of Natural Resources in regards to a suspension or revocation. An aggrieved licensee or permittee may then appeal the decision to an administrative hearing officer and then to a review committee composed of three members of the Board of Natural Resources. The Board of Natural Resources is of the opinion that such changed procedures could result in significantly decreasing the use of license revoca tion and suspension procedures as an effective management tool to aid in the enforcement of the game and fish laws, and the Board has requested that I not allow Senate Bill 509 to become law. Accordingly, in order to avoid the potential of weakening this State's abil ity to protect and preserve our game and fish resources, I have vetoed Senate Bill 509.
Veto No. 33 - S. B. 534 by Senator Doss of the 52nd
Senate Bill 534 allows a parent to appoint by will a testamentary guardian for a mentally retarded or mentally ill child. However, the bill does not provide an essential safeguard to the child by requiring an appropriate inquiry into whether the child is competent to manage his own estate. The author of Senate Bill 534 has announced his retirement from the General Assembly. I have agreed to work for the passage at the next session of the General Assembly of a bill which will permit parents to appoint a testamentary guardian for a child who does not have the capacity to manage and care for his person and prop erty.

January 9, 1979 The Inauguration of the Governor of Georgia

George Busbee Governor
George Dekle Busbee was born August 7, 1927, in Vienna, Dooly County, the second of five children descended from a pioneer family of Georgia's middle coastal plains. Goerge's father, Perry Greene Busbee, was a farmer, housebuilder and mule trader.
George Busbee attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Duke University and the University of Georgia.
Following service in the United States Navy, he graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in business in 1949.
The same year he married Mary Beth Talbot of Ruston, Louisiana, a medical technologist at Athens General Hospital. He received his law degree from the University of Georgia in 1952.
The Busbees moved to Albany, Georgia, and opened a law office where he practiced law, beginning in 1952.
George Busbee won a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives in 1956 at the age of 29. He was reelected for nine terms, facing opposition only once.
From 1963 to 1965, he served as the assistant administration floor leader, and as administration floor leader in 1966. In 1967, he served as the first majority leader of the House. He was reelected to that position continuously for three terms without opposition. In 1974, he was voted one of the most effective members of the House.
The Busbees have two sons, Buz and Jeff, and two daughters, Beth and Jan.
He has served as president of the Albany Jaycees and President of the PTA where his daughters attended elementary school.
The Busbees were charter members of the Sherwood Baptist Church near their home in Albany where he served as moderator. They are presently members of Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in Atlanta.
In his first bid for statewide office, George Busbee was elected Governor in 1974, and was reelected in November 1978 to an unprecedented second term.
George Busbee was recently appointed to the chairmanship of the newly created Com mittee on International Trade and Foreign Relations of the National Governors' Associa tion, one of eight standing committees. He previously served as chairman of the Committee on Transportation, Commerce and Technology.
He is the only governor to serve as a member of the Transportation Advisory Commit tee to the Federal Energy Administration.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Governor is a member of the Steering Committee of the Education Commission of the States and a member and former chairman of the Southern Growth Policies Board.

Zell Miller Lieutenant Governor
Zell Bryan Miller is the only one of Georgia's eight lieutenant governors who has been a member of the State Senate over which he will preside for another four years, and the first in Georgia's history to win election to a second four-year term.
Born 46 years ago in Young Harris, Zell was the youngest child of Birdie Bryan and Stephen Grady Miller. He attended public schools in Towns County and graduated from Young Harris College.

After a three-year enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps, Zell graduated from the Uni versity of Georgia with A.B. and M.A. degrees, and completed two years of graduate work toward a Ph.D.
Zell has taught at Young Harris College, DeKalb Community College and the Univer sity of Georgia, and holds the title of Distinguished Lecturer at Emory University.
As a state senator, he authored many progressive pieces of legislation in the areas of education, criminal rahabilitation, highway safety and the environment.
In 1965, then-Governor Carl Sanders appointed Zell director of the State Board of Probation. Later he served as deputy director of the Department of Corrections, and still later, under former Governor Jimmy Carter, as a member of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. He is the only Georgian to serve at the state level in all three of these areas of criminal rehabilitation and has long been recognized as one of the state's leading spokesmen on law enforcement. He also served two years as executive director of the Democratic Party of Georgia.
As a result of Zell's role as chairman of the Economic Development Council of Georgia, the lieutenant governor now for the first time has the year-round responsibility of encouraging balanced economic growth. Zell also brought reforms to the Senate such as encouraging meetings open to the press and public, sharing committee appointment power among Senate leadership, and establishing rules of decorum.
Zell carried every county in the general election four years ago, and repeated that record in 1978 in both the Democratic Primary where he received 81.2 per cent of the vote, and in the general election, where he took 82.4 per cent.
He is married to the former Shirley Carver of Andrews, N.C., whom he met as a student at Young Harris College. Named recently as one of six members of the President's Commission on Mental Retardation, Shirley has received the Bobby Dodd Award, the highest honor conferred by the Atlanta Association for Retarded Citizens, and the Amelia Rowan Award, top laurel of the Georgia Association for Retarded Citizens. They have two sons, Murphy, 23, and Matthew, 22, and a granddaughter, Asia, 2.

(SEAL)
The Great Seal of the State of Georgia is used on official documents, by order of the Governor or General Assembly. The Constitution designates the Secretary of State as the custodian of the Great Seal of the State.
Several different seals were used during the colonial period of Georgia's history. The design of the present Great Seal was completed in 1799. In 1914 the Legislature voted to change the date on the Seal from 1799 to 1776 to correspond with the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The Great Seal has been used continuously since 1799, except for the years 1863-1865 when a specially designed seal was used. During the years 1868-1871 the seal was hidden by Secretary of State Nathan C. Barnett.
One side of the seal depicts an arch supported by three pillars. The pillars symbolize the three departments of government. The man with a drawn sword represents the aid of the military in the defense of Georgia's constitution.

The other side of the Seal depicts a ship being loaded with hogsheads of tobacco and bales of cotton, emblematic of Georgia's exports. The left portion of the scene portrays a man plowing and a flock of sheep. The motto on this side is "Agriculture and Commerce, 1776".

The following address was delivered by His Excellency, Governor George Busbee, immediately after the administration of the oath of office:

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE
ATLANTA CIVIC CENTER
TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1979, 11:30 A.M.
This inauguration represents both continuity and a new beginning.
Upon the solid foundation of four years of experience marked by adversity....austerity....and accomplishment ....we should now chart a higher course for Georgia. It is time to raise our sights as a state.
The time is right....conditions and circumstances are right for Georgia to aspire to regional and national leadership....in the caliber of government services...in the strength of our economy.......the quality of life here....and the progress of our people.
I do not arrogate to my personal efforts....nor to our administration the credit for our favorable posture today.
I fully recognize that Georgia in the 1980's will not only be guided by our leadership but will move to the measure of the seventy-six administrations before us and their policies.....programs....and plans.
I count it a high privilege to occupy the office of Governor at the point in history's long march of statehood when Georgia has the potential to move out of the ranks of patient followers.....to a position of leadership.
From this rostrum in 1975....1 called for unity in State government....and asked that we put aside bickering and squabbling and political clatter.....and work together.
We have had free debate in this administration. There have been differences of policy....but we have avoided personality clashes. We have worked hard and we have worked together.
To my colleague....Lt. Governor Zell Miller....to Speaker Murphy....to Members of the General Assembly and all who have been a part of this administration....! express my gratitude for your respecting that principle.
So that we may chart a higher course....so that Georgia may lead......let us pledge that the principle of unity and the practice of working together will continue to guide our administration.
In numbers of years of service in State government....and in the number of incum bents returning to state service....we begin this administration perhaps with an unprece dented level of experience.
But I would like to caution all of us in all branches...bureaus....and departments...that we must not let the stability of our positions..the experience of incumbency...drift into complacency or over-confidence.
If there are any in State government from the highest rank to the lowest....who prefer the laurel leaves of prior achievement to the present challenge of hard work....they should find employment elsewhere.

60

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

So that we can chart a higher course...so that Georgia can lead....let us pledge that in the next four years we will build on our experience. Let us not rest on our record. Let the principle of high standards in managing government continue to guide our administra tion.
This administration began in the closing months of a crescendo of crises that rocked the nation in the sixties and early seventies. The period that followed has been marked by an uncertain calm.
The public mood in Georgia...and I believe throughout America.....is one of complexity and contradiction.
The people hold an unusual blend of sentiments about government and these times....a blend of patriotism....frustration....respect and quiet rage.
They respect the responsibilities of local and state government...they love America....but they believe government has grown too large...makes too many rules...spends too much money....and they want the government off their backs.
They suspect that government has lost its self-discipline.....that government costs too much because it tries to do too much...that it tries to do too much because it is politically easier to say "yes" than to say "no".
We are living under the shadow of a cruel and dangerous inflation...pushed along in part by our own anticipation of more inflation...our own doubts that government has the will...the self-discipline....to manage and restrain itself.
Those of us to whom the management of government has been entrusted must revive the confidence and trust of the people that it will be managed responsibly and right.
Prom every courthouse and every statehouse and from the White House....we must have a synchronized self-discipline in spending.....in taxing...in regulating....and in prom ising.
If the national administration can succeed in balancing the federal budget in the near future..then our fellow Georgians in Washington will have left a legacy in which they and all Georgians can take great pride.
So that our State government can help to chart a higher course for Georgia....so that Georgia may lead...let us acknowledge both the limitations and the potential of good government....let our State government resist the temptation to grow in size...but let it grow in the quality of its service.
Let us demonstrate that a government which is prudent can make progress...that a government which is frugal can also be fair.
There are some today who allude to Proposition Thirteen politics...and say the people's concern about government spending will translate into government's lack of con cern for the disadvantaged...the handicapped....and the poor.
I reject the suggestion that competence in government is inconsistent with compassion in government. Good government should not anymore condone the hunger of children than it should tolerate the wastefulness of bureaucrats.
So that we can chart a higher course...so that Georgia may lead...let us have an admin istration in which no group or segment of people unfairly bears the brunt of our budgetary policies and our financial discipline.
In these four years...I have thought often of the delicate interplay between the present operation of government and our future as a state.
We cannot move into the future until we have surmounted the practical problems of the present. But we cannot truly deal with the practical problems of the present unless we know where we are going as a state.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1979

That's why we must now sharpen our vision of the future. That's why we must see clearly that by intelligently marshalling our resources...we can lead... we can build commu nities from Augusta to the Alabama line...from Thomasville to the Tennessee border....that will offer a life quality as good as any group of communities on this continent.
Throughout most of our history...this nation has been economically lopsided and we have not had parity of opportunity.
For generation upon generation it was accepted as inevitable that to be educated in Georgia was to settle for less education..to earn a living in Georgia was to settle for less income..to be a Georgia citizen was to settle for less of what we know as the good life.
For too many generations we waited patiently for that distant day when we would "catch-up" with the rest of the country.
We assumed this would come through the passage of time and the policies of the fed eral government. That was a vestige of a reconstruction mentality and we must now put it behind us for all time.
In the election of 1976....the people of America acknowledged our full participation in the political life of this nation. That symbolized to ourselves and to the nation that we are now in the mainstream of American life.
We know now...it is not the passage of time....or federal policy....that will bring about our "catch-up" with the rest of the country. It will be our own doing...the strength of our economy...the quality of our schools..the caliber of our government.
Georgia is an economic frontier...not only because we are the crossroads of the eastern half of the American sunbelt...but it is still early in our economic cycle.
We still have time to harmonize our growth with protecting our resources. We still have the luxury of making decisions about our resources as we chart a higher course for our future.
These are some of the things that must be done if our state is to merit the respect and reap the benefits of leadership:
In education.....we have new leadership...and a new commitment to excellence across the educational spectrum. But we need to devote the resources to making a specific break through in the quality of the education we provide in the early years and that will be the centerpiece of our program.
We will continue to build our economic base by providing a favorable climate for expansion...and by establishing new links between our State and other nations of the world so that we can have access to new markets and new capital.
In spite of the major expansions now in progress....our Corrections System stands as an item of unfinished business to which we must devote resources...understanding.....and effort.
Transportation holds an important key to our future as a state. We take satisfaction in having completed our basic Interstate Highway System ahead of schedule and now we must proceed with building an entire transportation system which is as dynamic as the state we want to build.
We cannot command the respect of leadership if we are not agressive in protecting our natural resources....and preserving our natural and historic treasures.
We now recognize that the tax burden on certain groups of our people is too great and that some relief is needed. To adjust this burden in an orderly, equitable manner will be a challenge to our claim of preparedness for leadership.

62

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

We must make sure that our State government stands for equal opportunity for all citizens....and that it will be a vigilant influence in the battle against insidious forms of discrimination, bigotry and fear.
And finally....we must keep the public affairs of this State in the hands of a State gov ernment which is clean so that it can be strong.
When I was growing up in Dooly County.....at a time when America was recovering from the Great Depression....and moving toward World War II.....my world was my neighborhood....and the surrounding farms and forests. It was a secure....comfortable world....and I had little need or thought of going beyond its boundaries.
But one day.....as a teenager....! had a chance to take my first plane ride in a fabric covered Piper Cub.
As we climbed above the tall pines of my familiar world....its boundaries began to change....and I saw in the distance beautiful vistas and gentle ridges which are the South Georgia version of majestic peaks.
When I got back on the ground to my familiar world....! knew I could not stay put for long...that I would have to fly again and search out those vistas and explore what I perceived to be those majestic peaks in the distance.
I believe it is time for Georgia to take a higher view......to get a glimpse of where it can go. It's time for us to break with our traditional thoughts of where we are and where we belong in the leadership hierarchy of American statehood.
It's time to chart a course toward what are perhaps still far away peaks of excellence....and prosperity....and opportunity.....but which for the first time in our history we can see....and from which we can take inspiration....and be challenged.
I ask the people of Georgia to join me and this administration as we try to chart a higher course in State government so that the Georgia we love may someday lead.

The following address was delivered by the Honorable Zell Miller, Lieutenant Gover nor, immediately after the administration of the oath of office:

SPEECH BY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ZELL MILLER ON INAUGURATION DAY, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1979, ATLANTA CIVIC CENTER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Four years ago on a cold, windy January day, I stood in this same spot, took the same oath and made a speech in which I said that I had "certain promises to keep."
And one was that I would approach the problems this State faces in a spirit of har mony with the Chief Executive, working not only with him but for him when requested...bearing in mind that no two men always will agree on every issue, but also fully understanding that the problems of this time are so many and so complex that teamwork is not only needed but is absolutely necessary.
I have kept that promise, and I make it to you and Governor Busbee again here today!
We have been fortunate in this State to have been blessed in recent history with many able Chief Executives. I have served with five of them and, as a student of history, I have knowledge of the others. I know of none who have exceeded the competency, the courage and the compassion of George Busbee. He is not just a good Governor, he is a great Gover nor.
And this State, stretching from Hiawassee to St. Marys, is not just a good State, it is a great State.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1979

Things are happening here for which we all can take justifiable pride. We are the sixth fastest growing State in the nation. Our economy is vibrant, becoming increasingly diversified and more than at any other time in our history, industry and the jobs that come with it, are being disbursed throughout this State.
In short, we are on the threshhold of, what most agree, will be the greatest and most prosperous era in all our history. I look forward to continue to be actively involved in eco nomic development, helping to bring more and better paying jobs to our people, no matter where they might live.
Four years ago, I also promised that I would tell the people "not merely what they want to hear but what they need to know..to help them overcome their fears and frustra tions, not cater to them."
I have kept that promise, and I shall continue to do so.
Today, we celebrate a historical moment in Georgia history. For the first time ever, a Governor and a Lieutenant Governor are returned to office for another four-year term.
But, as I reflect on this event and how I got here, I must tell Zell something that he does "not want to hear" but that Zell "needs to know."
And that is -- two-thirds of the voters in this State didn't even cast a ballot for you in August or November. Less than one out of four Georgia voters voted you your victory.
You, my mountain friend, have no mandate! And neither do you who are here today because of similar voting patterns. What we have is an opportunity to prove our commit ment and capacity. We have been given some power; now we must provide some purpose to that power.
When I was in Young Harris over the holidays, a long-time neighbor, so thin he's mostly just breath and britches, visited me for awhile and, on leaving the house, parted with this remark, "Take precious care -- that's an old expression -- take precious care of your mama and your youngins."
He was gently reminding me of my responsibility as a son and a parent. But in a larger sense, he was reminding all of us in public office of our responsibility of taking "precious care" of our children and our elderly.
It is their plight which I want to use this rare opportunity to discuss with you for only a few minutes. Not the usual subject matter for an inaugural speech, I realize, but I cannot be bland in what I say because I am not blind to what I see.
Today there are over 154,000 children in Georgia receiving assistance from the State of a little over a dollar a day, which goes to feed, clothe, provide transportation, shelter and provide the other necessities of life.
Ninety-four percent of those children have no father at home and those that do, in most every case the father is physically or mentally incapacitated.
These children are not poor because they are lazy or shiftless or drunk. They were born poor...and we cannot hold these children responsible.
Yes, many of these poor are black. They were born with a legacy worse than just pov erty. They were born with skin that for five generations shut doors to them.
The great Georgia songwriter, Joe South, once wrote, "Before you abuse, criticize or accuse, walk a mile in my shoes." Most here today have never walked in those shoes, and you and your loved ones -- thank God -- never will.
But there is another forgotten segment of our society -- a minority that each of us, and certainly many of our loved ones, are or will be, a part of.

64

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I refer to our elderly. Over one out of eight of our total population, soon to be one out of six. Many have retained reasonable health and most have retained pride and the desire to be a vital force in life. Yet four out of ten of our elderly live below what is known as the Lower Poverty Level threshhold.
Half live in rural Georgia, in small counties where there is a notable lack of services. Only one of ten own a car, and many of those do not drive because of poor eyesight or other health factors, or because insurance or maintenance costs are so high.
In rural Georgia, four out of five do not have transportation to do essential errands. You know it doesn't matter how good the facilities are we provide if you cannot get to them.
This is the group hurt most by taxes, by crime, by inflation, by rising health care costs. This is the social issue of the next 20 years! They are a valuable human resource that must not be wasted. Some of our nation's greatest achievers were elderly persons.
Of course, there is another segment of the elderly. The segment that too many of us refuse to see.
We refuse to see because we fear we may see our mothers, our fathers, our grandpar ents. We fear, perhaps, that we may see ourselves to be.
We fear to see the apparition of the aged -- petulant, uncertain of habit, with far away eyes, who dribbles her food, who is forever losing a stocking or shoe, who, unresisting or not, lets someone do their will with bathing and feeding just to fill the long day.
The body has crumbled, and grace and vigor have departed. But there is not a stone where there once was a heart, and human beings deserve to respond in some way to kindliness and thoughtfulness until they die.
The conditions among our elderly and our children too often are like an iceberg -- submerged, cold and impersonal. It is so frightening that we turn our eyes away from the human constituents of poverty -- the men without jobs, the mothers without a man, the children without a father, the lonely elderly waiting, waiting for someone, as John Prine sings, to say "hello in there."
Remember the story of the Good Samaritan? Those who passed by perhaps had a good education, jobs, some maybe even held public office. But they were busy -- too busy to take responsibility for someone who was dirty, half-naked and hungry.
Christ considered this so important He made the way He judged us based not on the number of prayers we say or the times we go to church but on whether or not we help Him when He comes to us in the garments of the poor.
"I was hungry and you gave me to drink, I was a stranger and you took me in...as long as you did it to one of these, my brethren, you did it to me."
There is a third group of forgotten Georgians. The hard-pressed wage earners, most of whom work at or near the minimum-wage level -- often at more than one job -- and never get a break from any programs of government.
They are not eligible for welfare benefits or Medicaid services because they usually belong to family units headed by able-bodied fathers.
They pay the same three to four percent sales taxes on their hamburger meat and dried beans as the wealthy pay on their porterhouse steaks and artichokes.
They get no loopholes, fast write-offs, capital gains or other tax breaks, and they never get to enjoy three-martini lunches or Wednesday afternoons at the country club.
They are the backbone of our society, holding up the top and supporting the bottom. They are honest, law-abiding citizens and, if we don't do something for them in the way

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1979

of tax revision soon, our free enterprise economy is going to get a permanent case of curva ture of the spine.
Yes, we must secure a full measure of justice for all Georgians -- and that includes the minority who are not white and the majority who are not male.
There are political risks in this. The voices of timidity will caution against the effort -- as they always do -- and some will call down distortion and ridicule -- as they always do.
But, as I said earlier, we cannot be bland in what we say and blind to what we see. Twenty-three centuries ago, Plato said it best: "States are as men are, they grow out of the characters of men."
If we are to be called civilized, decent, God-fearing and God-obeying, we who are so richly blessed must meet these stark questions of human need. For a tear has no color, no sex, no age. We all cry in the same language.
Thank you, and may God be with us.

The Resolution calling for the Joint Session was read.

Accompanied by the Committee of Escort and other distinguished guests, His Excellency, Governor George D. Busbee appeared upon the floor of the House and deliv ered the following address:

STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE
HOUSE CHAMBER
THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1979, NOON
In case you're not aware of the first accomplishment of the second Busbee administra tion, let me tell you about it without further delay.
Based on an historic agreement among my office and the leadership of the House and Senate, we have dispensed with one of the three speeches I was to have delivered to this august body in the short span of one week.
I am here today to bring you a combined State of the State address and Budget mes sage. I didn't think you'd mind hearing one-third less out of me than you'd expected.
First, I am pleased to report to the General Assembly and the people of Georgia that the state of our State is good. We have a balanced budget. We've held down the growth in government, and employment is up and unemployment is down in the private sector.
We've made significant strides in many areas over the past four years and it would help us in assessing our goals for the coming year and thereafter to take a brief look at where we've been together and what we've done.
Together, we've raised teachers' salaries by almost 40 per cent and reversed the drain of some of our best university professors by making our salaries competitive with the rest of the South.
Together, we instituted a kindergarten program and increased our concentration on early elementary education through beefed-up compensatory education and the addition of teacher aides in the first grade. We are seeing the results of our actions in fourth grade test scores showing our youngsters on a par with the national average in reading and math.
Together, we've brought about our first billion dollar year in new and expanded indus trial investment, and we've placed Georgia in the forefront of the nation in the rate of new jobs and expansion of per capita income.
Together, we completed our originally designated interstate highways through an advanced funding mechanism. We rehabilitated our off-system roads through a local assis tance road program.
Together, we reversed the growth in state government, holding new employees to an average of 81 per year instead of 2,000 per year in the eight years before I took office. In the budget I am proposing to you for the Fiscal Year 1980, we have an opportunity to reduce employment in state government to some extent for the first time in memory.
Together, we have opened the ranks of government to women and minorities in greater numbers than ever before.
Together, we tamed the Medicaid tiger by kicking some abusers in the teeth and get ting the payment backlog nightmare straightened out to the point that instead of reaching the goal of a 30-day turn-around on legitimate claims, we now have achieved a 17-day turn-around.
Together, we purged the welfare rolls of ineligible recipients who were there through fraud and error. We prosecuted welfare cheaters and trimmed the rolls by 150,000.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Together, we've saved for generations to come miles of precious shoreline along the Georgia coast.
Together, we survived a severe recession without saddling our people with a tax increase. And although we now face an uncertain national economic future, we have the strength and resources to weather still another downturn.
We proved to our people and the nation that we could cut the budget and live within our means when the going got tough. The streamlining of state government that resulted will continue to pay dividends in cost avoidance for years to come. We have been tough when times called for toughness. We've been tightfisted with the people's money and we've refused to ask for more. We've strengthened management procedures throughout state gov ernment and we have increased accountability.
We have demanded honesty and openness in the handling of the people's business. There will be no slackening of those standards in the years ahead.
We have accomplished much for the people of Georgia and you have every right to hold your heads high.
Lt. Governor Miller, Speaker Murphy, ladies and gentlemen of this General Assembly, I thank you...I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this partnership that we've forged for the benefit of all Georgians. Let us not falter as we push ahead to make these and many more advances in state government. It is because of this unity and joint effort that I am able to report to the people that the state of our State is good.
Before outlining in greater detail my goals and aspirations for our State, I'd like to ask your indulgence to allow me to speak personally for a few moments to you, the mem bers of the General Assembly.
It was my privilege to serve in the General Assembly for 18 years. I had the honor and the pleasure of serving with many of you. And it occurred to me the day before yesterday at the Inauguration ceremony as I looked at my grown, married children on the platform--one of whom will be the mother of my first grandchild this summer--that when I first came to the Legislature, some of our children had not even been born. Some of us here today grew up together as members of this great and august body. Others came along later to improve it.
I can remember back in the 1950's and the 1960's, coming to Atlanta on Sunday night and heading for the Hog supper at the old Henry Grady Hotel. There would be some dis cussion of the issues, particularly as some of the reporters brought out their microphones and their pencils and pads. There were many issues that developed into differences of opinion.
As a young legislator and as a student of government, I could hardly wait until Monday morning to get the newspaper and see how the issues had developed. By Wednes day things would really get hot. Differences seemed insurmountable. But, you know, on Thursday and Friday before going home to face our constituents, we miraculously realized that we had better solve a few issues for our own well-being and have a little progress to report...and we did.
Every now and then we would have a crisis. The courts would hand down a new desegregation ruling, or order massive reapportionment. In this atmosphere, we rose to the occasion and we did those things that addressed not only the issues of today but of tomor row. The challenge would come like a bolt of thunder ever so often.
Reapportionment, of course, prompted one of the biggest debates during my years in the House, and great speculation surrounded the question of whether the Legislature could resolve the conflict between pine trees and people, and legislate themselves or some of their colleagues out of office.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1979

99

I think the press and most of the people of this State were of the opinion that this issue could not be resolved by the General Assembly. But it was resolved.
I know that we can't take politics out of politics. I know that we're going to have issues each morning in the press. We're going to have more issues each night in the press. But as we grow older together....as we pass from this scene....let's not leave bloody foot prints in the sand.
What I'm saying, of course, is that we have some important decisions to be made here. They're going to be thoroughly debated. We're going to have our differences. But the time always comes under our precious democracy when we must put our heads together and resolve these issues. I, for one, look forward to working them out with you. All that I ask as we debate and deliberate is that we consider not how our actions will be written as news today....but how they will be recorded in the history of tomorrow.
The overriding issue confronting us today is the direction we take in molding and shaping the future of this State. We can't allow rhetoric and emotions to trip us up on this one. The momentum is ours in education. The momentum is ours in economic growth. We're in a position of leadership on every front....opportunities are expanding with each passing day. We cannot allow petty differences and personality clashes to interfere with this momentum. And we must bear in mind that differences cannot be allowed to erode the caliber of leadership essential to meeting our needs and goals. We can't kill the momentum we have. We can't be in the posture of Pogo in the comics when he observed, "We have seen the enemy and he is us."
So I want to remind all of us that we have a heritage of colorful and vigorous legis lative debates. But equally as prominent is our heritage of resolving controversial questions in a responsible manner.
The question of tax relief is one of the highest priority items that we have with our people. It's complex. Our people expect us....and it should behoove us....to resolve our dif ferences at an early date in the most equitable manner on which we can agree.
The question of the financing of local government itself is an issue before us. We have 76 local governments that have adopted the local option sales tax as a method of financing local government to a large extent...pursuant to your authorization. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Dalton-Whitfield County case rendered certain aspects of our legis lation unconstitutional and places some of our local governments' financial structure in a precarious position. There are other features of the local option sales tax under attack in various courts. It is imperative that this legislation be clarified at this Session so that no local government is left in limbo.
These are just examples of important issues that must be addressed. We should not become so entrenched in our views that it is too difficult to resolve our differences on issues that must be resolved.
As we chart the future of this State, I think one of the first places that we should look is at our state budget and how we are spending the resources of our State.
The budget which I am presenting to you today is my fifth, and I am prouder of this budget than any of the other four that I have submitted to you. I'm prouder because it not only provides for significant breakthroughs in several important programs, including education, but because of what we have been able to achieve in limiting the administrative growth in government.
I don't think that we can consider our budget today without agreeing on what our aspirations and goals are for the future.
I think one goal that should be paramount is one of the highest priorities of our people, and that is to keep down the growth of all government. If we're going to contain

100

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

our growth, then we must contain the continuation level of existing programs in state gov ernment, and we must curb the growth in the number of state employees.
In submitting their budget requests, agency heads sought an increase of $299 million in continuation increases alone. I found that intolerable and returned every one of them. This budget on your desk today provides for only slight increases in continuation except where we had to annualize such programs as the teachers' health insurance and pay raises.
Working together, we have been able to contain the growth in employment in state government. I'm happy to report to you that in the budget on your desk, my budget request reduces the number of employees in the executive agencies of state government by a net total of 97. This is almost unprecedented in any government, and particularly in view of a budget of record size.
Neither am I recommending any new bond program. For the second straight year, working in a partnership and with a common goal, we are meeting all of our capital outlay needs with direct cash payments, thus saving many millions of dollars in interest and avoiding passing on to future generations the necessity to pay off our debts.
Because of these fiscally conservative and fiscally responsible decisions that we made last year working together...and because of these restraints that I've made in my budget recommendations to you today....we do have some resources for improvements in the ser vices to our people.
The programs getting the most emphasis in my budget are those programs that I believe the taxpayers also are interested in: tax relief....improvements in our public schools and colleges and universities....increased general funds for transportation to avoid any motor fuel tax increase....human service needs, including AFDC benefits increases to com pensate for some inflation and also for cuts that have been made reducing the level of pay ments over the last four years....prison construction....pay raises for teachers, university system personnel and state employees....and others of similar importance.
Before singling out any one item that I have recommended in the budget for your con sideration, I have one special request that I have to make of you as you begin the process.
Thomas Jefferson once said that perhaps the most important quality in government service in a democracy is to be able to see the whole ground. Because there are so many special issues within the budget in which I know that many of you have an interest, I ask that you make a particular effort this year to see the whole ground.
Seeing the whole ground this year in working on the budget was the most complex project I've ever undertaken in my years of service.
As we chart the future of this State, there are many decisions to be made.
I don't think that any of us wants to live with the status quo. We want to make progress....and that's why I've recommended enough resources for us to make a real break through in education by completing the kindergarten system....by dramatically lowering the pupil-teacher ratio for the first three grades.
I'm more enthused about my recommendations to improve the quality of our public schools than any budget proposals I've ever made to the General Assembly.
If we are truly serious about improving our public schools....of truly challenging the best school programs in the nation....we are now at a period in our history when we can do so. And we can do it by absolutely, unequivocally making sure that each child in the next generation who leaves the primary grades has acquired the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic.
If this can be accomplished, problems such as low pupil achievement....dropouts....big spending for remedial education....illiteracy....and many more problems manifested in countless ways....can be eliminated.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1979

101

I've looked at various studies on the effect of class size on educational achievement. While there are reservations about the effect of class size in the upper grades, the finding seems conclusive that reduced class size can have a significant effect in the primary grades, if a significant reduction is made. A drop of one or two students would not be sufficient....but a drop in the amount I'm recommending can accomplish the objectives we are seeking.
As we look at the big issues, let's not allow minor details to breed and nurture them selves into impasse. Let's look at the whole ground, realizing that none of us will get every thing we want. I'm not so rigid as to think that my desires can be set in concrete just because I wish it. I realize full well that the House is ineffective without the Senate....and the Senate is ineffective without the House....and the Governor is totally hamstrung with out both.
There have been widespread predictions that this session would produce more contro versy than any session in recent years. That's because adjusting taxes through tax relief constitutes one of the most challenging matters in all of government. Setting spending priorities in a period of rampant inflation is a major test of political maturity. In a real sense we are being whip-sawed this session between what we know is the public's desire for limited government....what we know are the realities of inflation....and our mutual desire to make progress in education, corrections and other essential services.
So it will be a difficult session....because it's an important session. But I believe the finest chapters in Georgia's legislative history have been written when we had to deal with difficult, controversial issues....and for that reason I'm optimistic and confident about what we can accomplish together this session.

House of Representatives Atlanta, Georgia
January 10, 1979
Mr. Jack Ellard Clerk of the House Room 309 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Ellard:
I would like to be excused, Friday January 12, to attend the funeral of my god daugh ter, Daryl Brown who passed January 9, at Crawford W. Long Hospital. Daryl contacted a disease which we thought was gas, March 4, 1974. After four weeks of tests, the diagnosis was Lupus Eythematosis, an Auto Immune connected tissue disease affecting young people. This has been the third death of young people between the ages of 17 to 28 to pass within two months.
I feel as if my own daughter has gone to be with our eternal God. He is a just God and whatever is in his power God knows best.
Very truly yours,
/s/Lottie H. Watkins
LHW/ph

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to increase the homestead exemp tions for tax purposes of certain property owned by residents of Richmond County; to pro vide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"The homestead of each resident of Richmond County actually occupied by the owner as a residence and homestead, and only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, but not to exceed $5,000.00 of its value, is hereby exempted from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness. The value of all property in excess of the foregoing exemption shall remain subject to taxation. Said exemption shall be returned and claimed in such manner as prescribed by the General Assembly. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980.
Each resident of Richmond County who is sixty-five years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all Richmond County ad valorem taxes in the amount of $10,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such home stead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as hereinafter provided, does not exceed $4,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension sys tem, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Richmond County, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The tax commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1979

applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the pro cessing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Once any such owner has filed the proper affidavit and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make applica tion and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall con tinue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner 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, 1980."

The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed, by substi tute.

Representatives Beal of the 28th, Scott of the 37th, and Watkins of the 34th stated that they had been called from the floor of the House when the roll was called on HB 75, but had they been present would have voted "aye" thereon.

Representative Veazey of the 146th moved that the following Bill of the House be withdrawn from the General Calendar and recommitted to the Committee on Public Safety.

HB 286. By: Representatives Veazey and Bostick of the 146th, Hanner of the 130th, and Phillips of the 120th: A BILL to be known as the "Radar Equipment Calibra tion Act" to provide a short title "Radar Equipment Calibration Act"; to define terms; to provide for rules and regulations; to provide for equipment to inspect and test equipment used to calibrate radar equipment used by law enforcement
agencies; and for other purposes.

The motion prevailed.

The following Resolution of the House was read:

HR 131. By: Representatives Padgett of the 86th and Cheeks of the 89th:

A RESOLUTION Relative to the death penalty; and for other purposes.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1979

297

WHEREAS, Georgia's laws relative to the death penalty and criminal procedures in connection therewith were upheld by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Gregg v. Georgia, 428 US 153 (1976); and
WHEREAS, the citizens of this State overwhelmingly support the death penalty and cannot understand why the punishment has not been carried out; and
WHEREAS, there are many cases in Georgia involving heinous crimes which are totally repugnant to the people of this State; and
WHEREAS, if capital punishment is to be an effective deterrent to such crimes, there must be certainty that the sentence will be executed when imposed in accordance with law; and
WHEREAS, although the courts have the constitutional responsibility of interpreting the laws and Constitution (federal and State), the courts should expedite their delibera tions because statutory and constitutional questions have precluded the imposition of the death penalty in Georgia since October 16, 1964.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES that this Body does hereby go on record as fully supporting the imposition of the death penalty in this State and further urges the courts to expedite their deliberations so that such punishment can be carried out in the applicable cases.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the adoption of the Resolution, was agreed to.

Section 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Fed eral funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropria tions Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and
Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effec tive matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that the Office of Planning and Budget utilize its budgetary and fiscal authority so as to accomplish the above-stated intent to the greatest degree feasible; and that at the end of this fiscal year, said Office of Planning and Budget provide written notice to the members of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the instances of noncompliance with the stated intent of this Section.

Section 58. Wherever in this Act the term "Budget Unit Object Classes" is used, it shall mean that the object classification following such term shall apply to the total expenditures within the Budget Unit, and shall supersede the object classification shown in the Budget Report for F. Y. 1979 submitted to the General Assembly at the 1978 regular session and the Amended Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1979 regular session.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Provided, that of the above appropriation, funds allocated for the purpose of renovating public school buildings and facilities shall be determined on the basis of policies and procedures to be developed by the State Board of Education, which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Only one single building project per local system shall be eligible for State funds in any one fiscal year.
2. No project shall be eligible if the estimated cost of construction exceeds 60 percent of the estimated cost of a new building to house the same programs.
3. No project shall be eligible unless it is to be utilized at or near capacity for the fore seeable future.
4. No project shall be eligible unless it comprehensively addresses all needed improve ments to house the functions and educational programs within the facility.
5. A higher priority ranking shall be given to those projects which require a lesser per centage of construction cost for items which would otherwise be financed from mainte nance and operation funds.
6. A local system shall be required to provide local funds in an amount to be determined by the State Board of Education's policies which reflect the local system's financial ability to participate.
It is the intent of this General Assembly that the allocation of General Obligation Bonds proceeds for the purpose of financing a school construction program throughout the State of Georgia shall be determined on the basis of a formula to be promulgated by the State Board of Education, based on current increased average daily attendance, surveyed pro jected growth, consolidation, renovations, outstanding local effort of school systems, age and condition of existing school buildings, and such other criteria by the Board to insure that classroom need is the basis of distribution.
Provided, further, funds appropriated for Maintenance and Operation, Sick and Per sonal Leave and Instructional Media, for all Special Education Teachers, payments shall not be made until the allotted teaching unit has been filled.
Provided, that of the above appropriation for instructional aides, funds shall be allo cated on the basis of a half-time aide for each State-allotted first grade teacher and $50 for the training of each such aide; provided, further, that such funds shall be used to serve first grade students (or ungraded primary students composed of grades 1 through 3); pro vided, further, in extenuating circumstances, with prior approval of the State Superinten dent of Schools, such earnings may be used in grades 2 and 3.
Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to the Educational Training Services for the Mentally Retarded Grant, $15,000 is designated and committed for the Bostwick Center in Bostwick, Georgia.
Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to Direct Grants to School Systems for Capital Outlay Purposes, $100,000 is designated and committed for planning grants for consolidated schools in Baker, Mitchell, Quitman and Stewart counties, and $56,000 for the Polk County School System.
It is the intent of this General Assembly that the additional Section 5 teaching person nel appropriated herein shall be allocated to all local units of administration on the basis of identified unserved exceptional student need. Need shall be determined by the number of children identified by local school districts as having met all requirements of State and Federal laws, rules and regulations for placement into classes for exceptional children. The fact that an eligible local unit of administration is currently meeting some portion of its identified exceptional student needs via local supplemental funding shall not be a factor for consideration in the State Board of Education's allocation formula. Furthermore, the Section 5 teaching units so allocated to an eligible local unit shall remain a part of that local unit's allotment until the end of the current school year in which allocated. Further, it is the intent of this General Assembly that the Special Education teaching personnel (Section 5) utilized in providing educational programs for intellectually gifted students in eligible local units of administration during FY 1978 shall not be diminished in FY 1979, unless there is clear indication that the student need for such a program in an eligible local unit of administration has declined.
Provided, that of the above appropriation for $990,000 for Staff Development, $100,000
is designated and committed to fund a State level staff development program specifically

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1979

521

for Special Education Teachers (Section 5) utilized in programs for intellectually gifted students, and to assist in the development of a State program plan for gifted students by the State Superintendent of Schools.
It is the intent of this General Assembly that local school systems have the authority to utilize increased maintenance and operation funds contained in this Appropriations Act in such a fashion as to accomplish de facto funding of Section 12 of the Adequate Program for Education in Georgia.
Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to Cash Grants for Capital Outlay, $50,374,987 is designated and committed for a school construction program throughout the State of Georgia which shall consist of the construction, equipping, and acquisition of school buildings and facilities, including vocational comprehensive high schools, and $13,043,275 is designated and committed for renovations.

Section 48. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the greatest extent fea sible, the Georgia Building Authority (Markets) and the Georgia Building Authority (Hospital) utilize existing surplus funds for payments to bond trustees for unmatured issues to eliminate the necessity of debt-service appropriations in Fiscal Year 1979 and thereafter.

Section 49.

Section 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Fed eral funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropria tions Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and
Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effec tive matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that the Office of Planning and Budget utilize its budgetary and fiscal authority so as to accomplish the above-stated intent to the greatest degree feasible; and that at the end of this fiscal year, said Office of Planning and Budget provide written notice to the members of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the instances of noncompliance with the stated
intent of this Section.

The General Assembly declares that the sums hereby appropriated for lease rentals are to pay the general obligations of the State incurred under valid lease contracts and such appropriations are to be paid from the general funds of the State as a first charge upon General Funds.

Section 57. All expenditures and appropriations made and authorized under this Act shall be according to the programs and activities as specified in the Governor's recom mendations contained in the Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1978 regular session and the amended Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1979 regular session, except as otherwise specified in this Act; provided, however, the Director of the Budget is authorized to make internal transfers within a budget unit between objects, programs, and activities subject to the conditions that no funds whatso ever shall be transferred for use in initiating or commencing any new program or activity not currently having an appropriation of State funds, nor which would require operating funds or capital outlay funds beyond fiscal year 1979, and provided, further, that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred between objects without the prior approval of at least eleven (11) members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittees in a meeting called to consider said transfers.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1." Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraph:
"Each resident of Floyd County who is sixty-five years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all Floyd County ad valorem taxes in the amount of $4,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such home stead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as hereinafter provided, does not exceed $4,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension sys tem, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above

exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Floyd County, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The Tax Commissioner of Floyd County shall provide affi davit 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. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the Tax Commissioner of Floyd County in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The exemption granted to the homestead in this paragraph shall extend to and shall apply to those properties, the legal title to which is vested in one or more title holders, if actually occupied as a residence by one or more such owners, provided any such owner may only claim the share of such exemption which is proportional to his share in the property, and may only claim such exemption if possessing the qualifica tions provided in this paragraph, except that when such legal title is vested in one or more title holders who include a person and his spouse, both of whom occupy as a resi dence the property for which an exemption may be granted in this paragraph, such person and his spouse may claim that share of such exemption which is proportional to their combined share in the property notwithstanding that both possess all the other qualifications provided in this paragraph but that only one is sixty-fiv years of age or over. The exemption granted to the homestead in this paragraph shall also extend to those homesteads, the title to which is vested in an administrator, executor or trustee, if one or more of the heirs or cestui que uses actually occupies such property as a resi dence, provided any such heir or cestui que uses may only claim the share of such exemption which is proportional to his share in the property, and may only claim such exemption if possessing the qualifications provided in this paragraph, except that when such heirs or cestui que uses include a person and his spouse, both of whom occupy as a residence the property for which an exemption may be granted in this paragraph, such person and his spouse may claim that share of such exemption which is proportional to their combined share in the property notwithstanding that both possess all the other qualifications provided in this paragraph but that only one is sixty-five years of age or over. In order to be granted any exemption provided in this paragraph, such exemption shall be claimed in the manner herein provided for an owner to claim an exemption. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Part III - Revocation of Manufacturer's License - In addition to the grounds for revo cation set forth in Part I above, the Commission may suspend or revoke the license of any manufacturer who fails to comply with the provisions of this Section in terminating, canceling or refusing to renew a franchise or in establishing or relocating a dealer, not withstanding the terms of any franchise.
(a) A manufacturer shall not terminate, cancel or refuse to renew a franchise unless: (1) The dealer and the Commission have received written notice from the manu
facturer as follows: (A) Sixty days before the effective date thereof setting forth the specific grounds
for termination, cancellation or refusal to renew; or (B) Twenty days before the effective date thereof only if the specific grounds
therefor are among the following and the notice provides the full details then avail able to the manufacturer:
(i) Transfer of any ownership or interest in the franchise without the consent of the manufacturer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or
(ii) Material misrepresentation by the dealer in applying for the franchise; or (iii) Insolvency of the dealer or filing of any petition by or against the dealer under any bankruptcy or receivership law; or (iv) Any violation of this Chapter after written notice thereof to the Commis sion; and (2) The Commission finds that there is good cause for termination, cancellation or refusal to renew, following a hearing pursuant to Section 84-6609A of this Chapter. The dealer may file a protest with the Commission within 30 days after receiving a 60-day notice, or within 10 days after receiving a 20-day notice. When such a protest is filed, the Commission shall advise the manufacturer that a timely protest has been filed, that a hearing is required pursuant to Section 84-6609A and that the manufac turer may not terminate, cancel or refuse to renew until the Commission makes its findings following the hearing or thereafter if the Commission's findings are against the termination, cancellation or refusal to renew the franchise. (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, a manufacturer may terminate, cancel or refuse to renew a franchise if the manufacturer has received the written consent of the dealer or the appropriate period for filing a protest under sub section (a) (2) above has elapsed without such a protest being filed; provided, however, that no term of the franchise itself will be construed as providing the written consent required by this subsection. (4) For the purposes of this Section, a proposed modification of a franchise agree ment or the franchise relationship demanded by the manufacturer which would sub stantially affect dealer sales or service obligations or investment in the franchise shall be considered a termination of the franchise. (5) In determining whether 'good cause' has been established as required in sub section (2) above, the Commission shall take into consideration the existing circum stances, including, but not limited to: (A) The amount of business transacted by the dealer as compared to the busi
ness available to the dealer; (B) The investment necessarily made and obligations incurred by the dealer to
perform its part of the franchise;
(C) The permanency of the investment;
(D) Whether it is injurious or beneficial to the public welfare for the franchise to be modified or replaced or the business of the dealer disrupted;
(E) Whether the dealer has adequate recreational vehicle or marine equipment sales and service facilities, equipment, vehicle parts, and qualified service personnel to reasonably provide for the needs of the consumers for the recreational vehicle or marine equipment handled by the dealer and has been and is rendering adequate services to the public;
(F) Whether the dealer adequately fulfills the warranty obligations of the manu facturer to be performed by the dealer;
(G) The extent of the dealer's failure to comply with the terms of the franchise.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1979

(b) A manufacturer shall not enter into a franchise which establishes a new or relocates an existing dealer within a relevant market area where the same product line is then represented by one or more existing dealers unless:
(1) Each such existing dealer and the Commission have received written notice from the manufacturer of his intention within 60 days of the proposed effective date thereof; and
(2) The Commission finds that there is good cause for establishing a new dealer or relocating the existing dealer, following a hearing called pursuant to Section 84-6609A of this Chapter. Any existing dealer located within the relevant market area may file a protest with the Commission within 30 days after receiving the 60-day notice. When such a protest is filed, the Commission shall inform the manufacturer that a timely protest has been filed, that a hearing is required pursuant to Section 84-6609A, and that the manufacturer shall not establish or relocate the proposed dealer until the Commission makes its findings following the hearing, nor thereafter if the Commission's findings are against the establishment or relocation of the dealer.
(3) For the purposes of this Section, the reopening in a relevant market area of a dealer that has not been in operation for one year or more shall be deemed the establishment of an additional dealer.
(4) With respect to the relocation of an existing dealer, subsection (b) shall not apply to any relocation which is less than one mile from the existing location of the dealer which is to a location within the same relevant market area within the same city where the existing dealer is located.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b), a manufacturer may establish or relocate a dealer within a relevant market area if the manufacturer has received written consent of each dealer within that relevant market area for the same product line of recreational vehicle or marine equipment or if the appropriate period for filing a protest under subsection (b)(2) has elapsed without such a protest being filed; pro vided, however, that no term of the franchise itself will be construed as providing the written consent required by this subsection.
(6) In determining whether 'good cause" has been established as required in sub section (2) above, the Commission shall take into consideration the existing circum stances, including, but not limited to:
(A) The permanency of the investment; (B) The effect on the recreational vehicle or marine equipment business and the consuming public in the relevant market area; (C) Whether it is injurious to the public welfare for an additional dealer to be established; (D) Whether the dealers of the same product line in that relevant market area are providing adequate competition and convenient consumer care for the recrea tional vehicles or marine equipment of the line make in the market area which shall include the adequacy of recreational vehicle or marine equipment sales and service facilities, equipment, supply vehicle parts, and qualified service personnel;
(E) Whether the establishment or relocation of the proposed dealer would increase competition and, therefore, be in the public interest.
(c) When a dealer dies or becomes incapacitated, a member of his immediate family may request in writing to the manufacturer within 30 days after such death or incapac ity that said member be permitted to succeed to the franchise. The member must show:
(1) his financial ability and qualifications;
(2) that the succession to the franchise will not cause a relocation of the franchise without the manufacturer's consent.

Section 4. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 84-1424, concerning a real estate recovery fund, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 84-1424 to read as follows:
"84-1424. Real estate education, research, and recovery fund; exceptions; fees. The Commission is authorized and directed to establish and maintain a real estate education, research, and recovery fund. All funds in the real estate recovery fund established by Ga. Laws 1973, p. 100 shall be transferred to and utilized through the real estate educa tion, research, and recovery fund.
(a) The Commission shall maintain a minimum balance of $500,000.00 in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund from which any person, except bonding companies when they are not principals in a real estate transaction, aggrieved by an act, representation, transaction or conduct of a duly licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson which is in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or of the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant thereto, may recover by order of any court having competent jurisdiction, actual or compensatory damages, not including interests and costs sustained by the act, representation, transaction, or conduct; Pro vided, that nothing shall be construed to obligate the fund for more than $10,000.00 per transaction regardless of the number of persons aggrieved or parcels of real estate involved in such transaction. In addition:
(1) The liability of the fund for the acts of a duly licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson, when acting as such, is terminated upon the issuance of court orders authorizing payments from the fund for judgments, or any unsatisfied portion of judg ments, in an aggregate amount of $20,000.00 on behalf of such licensee.
(2) A licensee acting as a principal or agent in a real estate transaction has no claim against the fund. When any person makes application for an original license to practice as a real estate broker or associate broker, he shall pay, in addition to his original license fee, a fee of $20.00 for deposit in the education, research, and recovery fund. When any person makes application for an original license to practice as a salesperson, he shall pay, in addition to his original license fee, a fee of $10.00 for deposit in the education, research, and recovery fund. In the event that the Commission does not issue a license, this fee shall be returned to the applicant. (b) (1) No action for a judgment which subsequently results in an order for collec tion from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund shall be started later than two years from the accrual of the cause of action thereon. When any aggrieved person commences action for a judgment which may result in collection from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, the aggrieved person shall notify the Commission in writing, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to this effect at the time of the commencement of such action. The Commission shall have the right to intervene in and defend any such action.
(2) When any aggrieved person recovers a valid judgment in any court of compe tent jurisdiction against any licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson for any act, representation, transaction, or conduct which is in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or of the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, which occurred on or after July 1, 1973, the aggrieved person may, upon termination of all proceedings, including reviews and appeals in connection with the judgmen1., file a verified claim in the court in which the judgment was entered and, upon ten days' written notice to the Commission, may apply to the court for an order directing payment out of the real estate education, research, and recovery fund of the amount unpaid upon the judgment, subject to the limitations stated in this Section.
(3) The court shall proceed upon such application in a summary manner and, upon the hearing thereof, the aggrieved person shall be required to show:
(A) he is not a spouse or debtor, or the personal representative of such spouse; (B) he has complied with all the requirements of this Section;

716

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(C) he has obtained a judgment, as set out in subsection (b)(2) of this Section, stating the amount thereof and the amount owing thereon at the date of the appli cation and, that in such action, he had joined any and all bonding companies which issued corporate surety bonds to the judgment debtors as principals and all other necessary parties;
(D) he has caused to be issued a writ of execution upon such judgment and the officer executing the same has made a return showing that no personal or real prop erty of the judgment debtor liable to be levied upon in satisfaction of the judgment could be found, or that the amount realized on the sale of them or of such of them as were found, under such execution, was insufficient to satisfy the judgment, stat ing the amount so realized and the balance remaining due to the judgment after application thereon of the amount realized;
(E) he has caused the judgment debtor to make discovery under oath concerning his property, in accordance with the 'Georgia Civil Practice Act,' approved March 18, 1966 (Ga. Laws 1966, p. 609), as amended;
(F) he has made all reasonable searches and inquiries to ascertain whether the judgment debtor is possessed of real or personal property or other assets, liable to be sold or applied in satisfaction of the judgment;
(G) that by such search he has discovered no personal or real property or other assets liable to be sold or applied, or that he has discovered certain of them, describing them, owned by the judgment debtor and liable to be so applied, and that he has taken all necessary action and proceedings for the realization thereof, and that the amount thereby realized was insufficient to satisfy the judgment, stat ing the amount so realized and the balance remaining due on the judgment after application of the amount realized;
(H) that the following items, if any, as recovered by him, have been applied to the actual or compensatory damages awarded by the court;
(i) any amount recovered from the judgment debtor or debtors; (ii) any amount recovered from the bonding company or companies; (iii) any amount recovered in out-of-court settlements as to particular defen dants. (4) Whenever the aggrieved person satisfies the court that it is not practical to comply with one or more of the requirements enumerated in subparagraphs (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H) of subsection (b)(3) of this Section and that the aggrieved person has taken all reasonable steps to collect the amount of the judgment or the unsatisfied part thereof and has been unable to collect the same, the court may, in its discretion, dispense with the necessity for complying with such requirements. (5) The court shall make an order directed to the Commission requiring payment from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund of whatever sum it shall find to be payable upon the claim, pursuant to the provisions of and in accordance with the limitations contained in this Section, if the court is satisfied, upon the hear ing, of the truth of all matters required to be shown by the aggrieved person by sub section (b)(3) of this Section and is satisfied that the aggrieved person has fully pursued and exhausted all remedies available to him for recovering the amount awarded by the judgment of the court. (6) Should the Commission pay from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund any amount in settlement of a claim or toward satisfaction of a judg ment against a licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson, the license of such broker, associate broker, or salesperson shall be automatically revoked upon the issu ance of a court order authorizing payment from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund. If such license is that of a corporation or partnership, the license of the qualifying broker of the corporation or partnership shall automatically be revoked upon the issuance of a court order authorizing payment from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund. No such broker, associate broker, or salesperson shall be eligible to receive a new license until he has repaid in full, plus interest at the rate of six percent a year, the amount paid from the real estate educa tion, research, and recovery fund on his account. A discharge in bankruptcy shall not relieve a person from the penalties and disabilities provided in this subsection.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1979

717

(7) If, at any time, the money deposited in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund is insufficient to satisfy any duly authorized claim or portion thereof, the Commission shall, when sufficient money has been deposited in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, satisfy such unpaid claims or portions thereof in the order that such claims or portions thereof were originally filed, plus accumu lated interest at the rate of four percent a year. (c) The sums received by the Commission pursuant to any provisions of this Section shall be deposited into the State treasury and held in a special fund to be known as the 'Real Estate Education, Research, and Recovery Fund' and shall be held by the Commission in trust for carrying out the purposes of this Section. These funds may be invested in any investments which are legal for domestic life insurance companies under the laws of this State, and the interest from these investments shall be deposited to the credit of the real estate education, research, and recovery fund and shall be available for the same purposes as all other money deposited in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund. (d) It shall be unlawful for any person or his agent to file with the Commission any notice, statement, or other document required under the provisions of this Section which is false, untrue, or contains any material misstatement of fact and shall constitute a mis demeanor. (e) When the Commission receives notice, as provided in subsection (b), the Commis sion may enter an appearance, file an answer, appear at the court hearing, defend the action, or take whatever other action it may deem appropriate on behalf and in the name of the defendant, and take recourse through any appropriate method of review on behalf and in the name of the defendant. (f) When, upon the order of the court, the Commission has paid from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund any sum to the judgment creditor, the Commis sion shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the judgment creditor, and the judgment creditor shall assign all his right, title, and interest in the judgment to the Commission before any payment is made from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, and any amount and interest so recovered by the Commission on the judgment shall be deposited to the fund. (g) The failure of an aggrieved person to comply with all of the provisions of this Section shall constitute a waiver of any rights hereunder. (h) The Commission, in its discretion, may use any and all funds, in excess of the $500,000.00 required by paragraph (a) of this Section, regardless of whether such funds are from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund or from accrued interest thereon, for the purpose of helping to underwrite the cost of the continuing education provisions of this Act enumerated in Section 84-1411. Provided, however, that the Com mission shall not expend or commit sums for educational or research purposes in such amounts that would cause the real estate educational, research, and recovery fund to be reduced to an amount less than $500,000.00. (i) In addition to the license fees provided for in this Chapter, the Commission, in its discretion and based upon the need to insure that a minimum balance of $500,000.00 is maintained in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, may assess each licensee, only upon renewal of his license, an amount not to exceed $30.00 per year."
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.

On the passage of the Bill, by substitute, the ayes were 159, nays 0.
The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed, by substi tute.

HB 70. By: Representative Phillips of the 120th: A BILL to amend Georgia Code Chapter 56-13, relating to fees and taxes on insurance companies, so as to exempt from the tax on gross direct premiums received by insurance companies annuity con siderations; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Code Section 56-1303, relating to rate of taxation on insurance premiums, so as to exempt annuity considerations from the tax; to provide legislative intent; to pro vide for continued application of the tax to certain annuity considerations during certain specified periods of time; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for severability; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other pur poses.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Legislative Intent, (a) Because annuity considerations are more closely akin to deposits in savings accounts than they are to premiums for insurance, the General Assembly desires to exempt all such annuity considerations from taxation as insurance premiums. However, inasmuch as the projected revenue loss to the State and to many of its municipalities may dramatically affect their budgets for the upcoming fiscal year if a total exemption were granted in one year, this Act shall provide for a three-year phaseout of the current tax on annuity considerations which shall commence on January 1, 1980, and shall end as of December 31, 1982.
(b) This phaseout program coupled with the normal annual increases in the amount of revenues generated by the taxation of premiums for other lines of insurance should result in an orderly discontinuance of this tax with a minimal, if not negligible, impact on the overall revenues received by the State and by certain of its municipalities from the taxation of insurance premiums.
Section 2. Code Section 56-1303 Amended. Code Section 56-1303, relating to rate of taxation on insurance premiums, is hereby amended by striking said Section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 56-1303, to read as follows:
"56-1303. Insurance premiums: Inclusion ef annuity Annuity considerations not included: Exemptions Exceptions. (1) All foreign, alien, and domestic insurance compa nies doing business in this State shall pay a tax of two and one-fourth (2 '4 r( ) percent upon the gross direct premiums received by them on and after July 1, 1955, upon per sons, property, or risks in Georgia, from January 1st to December 31st, both inclusive, of each year without regard to business ceded to or assumed from other companies, nor shall any deductions be allowed for premium abatements of any kind or character or for reinsurance or for cash surrender values paid, or for losses or expenses of any kind, said tax being imposed upon gross premiums received from direct writings without any deductions whatever except for premiums returned on change of rate or cancelled poli cies; Provided, however, deductions may be made for return premiums or assessments, including all policy dividends, refunds, or other similar returns paid or credited to policyholders and not reapplied as premium for additional or extended life insurance. The term 'gross direct premiums' shall not include annuity considerations.

742

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1), for the three calendar years beginning January l^ 1980, and ending December 31, 1982, the term 'gross d^ireetTpreT miums,' as used in this Section, shall include annuity considerations and such annuity considerations shall continue to be subject to taxation as provided for in this Section; provided that, as to that portion of such insurer's gross premiums which represejrt tax-^ able annuity considerations, the rate of tax applicable to each insurer required to pay such taxes shall be reduced annually as follows:
(a) For the calendar year beginning January 1^ 1980, the applicable rate of tax shall be reduced by '^_ of 1 'V ;
(b) For the calendar year beginning January 1^ 1981, the applicable rate of tax shall be reduced by 1 v-> 'V; and
(c) For the calendar year beginning January !_, 1982, the applicable rate of tax shall be reduced by 2 l't '',, so that for the calendar years beginning on and after Janu aTriytlel?j' 1983, there shall ~b~e n~o~ further taxation of annuity considerations under this

Section 3. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudica tion 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, sen tence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not orig inally 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 4. Effective Date. This Act shall become effective January 1, 1980.
Section 5. Repealer, All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

(e) "Cost of care" means the costs incurred for the support, care and treatment of each individual patient or the per patient average of such costs as determined by the Department on the basis of the estimated current operating costs of the hospital, or an identifiable part or section thereof, providing such services. (f) "Income" means that amount determined by adding to the gross income (as now or hereafter defined in Georgia income tax laws), minus deductions and personal exemp tions (as authorized by said Georgia income tax laws), the following items, if such items are not already included in gross income as defined above: (1) Any amounts received by or on behalf of the person liable for cost of care from accident insurance or workmen's compensation for total or partial incapacity to work, plus the amount of any damages received by or on behalf of the person liable for cost of care, whether by suit or agreement, on account of such injuries or sickness; (2) The net income from property acquired by gift, bequest, devise or descent; (3) Interest upon obligations of the United States Government, or of this State or of a political subdivision thereof; (4) The net income from individual holdings of stock in banks and trust companies incorporated under the banking laws of this State or of the United States; (5) Retirement income, social security benefits, veterans benefits and any other benefits that could be applied for the support of the patient; (6) The net income from any other assets, including but not limited to personal property, real property, or mixed property and any other property or estate where soever located and in whatsoever form, inclusive of any assets sold or transferred within a period of ninety days prior to the date services were first rendered to the patient by a hospital.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1979

797

of their assessment. Such notice shall offer opportunity for any person so notified to be heard to show cause, if there be any, why such person should not be liable for payment of the assessment.
(b) When the Department determines that persons legally liable for the cost of care of a patient do not have sufficient income or assets to pay the entire cost of care, the Department shall determine for each such person the amount payable toward cost of care which shall be a fair and equitable amount based on ability to pay determined in accor dance with the requirements of Section 8 of this Act. When applicable, the notice provided for in subsection (a) hereof shall reflect as the assessment the amount payable toward cost of care provided for herein, and if a hearing is requested by any person receiving such notice, such person may question his liability for cost of care as well as the amount of his assessment.
(c) Any investigation or hearing regarding ability to pay shall not operate to deny or delay admission of a patient to a hospital or to deny or delay providing services for such patient.
(d) It shall be the duty of the Department to periodically reexamine the assessment and either reduce or increase such assessment, as hereinafter provided, in accordance with changes in the ability to pay of the person liable for cost of care. If the Department deter mines that the economic circumstances of a person liable for cost of care have improved to an extent justifying an increase in the assessment, any such increase shall apply only to cost of care for services rendered for the patient after the effective date of the increase in assessment, and no such increase shall cause the assessment to exceed the total cost of care. The Department may not increase an assessment as provided herein without afford ing the person liable for cost of care an opportunity for a hearing on the question of the increase in the assessment. A person liable for cost of care may apply to the Department for a change in the assessment when the person's economic circumstances have changed sufficiently to affect adversely his future ability to pay. If an assessment for services previ ously rendered for a patient is being paid in accordance with a scheduled plan of payments approved by the Department, then a reduction in assessment because of a change in the economic circumstances affecting adversely the ability to pay of the person liable for cost of care may apply to that portion of the assessment for services previously rendered for the patient which remain unpaid as of the date of the reduction of the assessment, as well as to the assessment for cost of services rendered after the date of the reduction. However, no such reduction shall require the refund of any payments made on an assessment prior to the date of the reduction of the assessment. After investigation and hearing, the Department shall act upon the application made by the person liable for cost of care. Any redetermination of the assessment pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the requirements of Section 8 of this Act.
(e) Any person liable for cost of care who has the financial ability to pay such cost of care, or a portion thereof, may offer to the Department, in writing, a proposed agree ment whereby such person agrees to pay an assessment specified in such proposed agree ment. If the Department finds that such proposed agreement is satisfactory and that the assessment specified therein is in conformity with the standards promulgated by the Department pursuant to Section 8 of this Act, it may sign such agreement and accept pay ment of the assessment specified therein in lieu of conducting a hearing and making and entering an order of assessment based upon the evidence produced at a hearing. Any assessment made pursuant to the authority of this subsection shall be subject to redeter mination as provided by subsection (d) of this Section.
(f) When a person liable for cost of care has paid in full an assessment for cost of care, such person shall not have any further obligation to the State or to the Department for the payment of cost of care for services which are included in the paid in full assess ment.
Section 4. Determination of income and assets, (a) The Department, through its duly authorized agents, shall have the authority to investigate or otherwise determine the income and assets of the patient or his estate and, when necessary, the income and assets of all other persons liable for the cost of care of such patient in order to determine ability to pay cost of care.

(b) The Department shall prescribe the form and content of and require declarations to be filed by the patient or other persons liable for cost of care necessary to determine the assessments required by this Act. All such declarations are to be regarded as essential to carrying out the public policy of the State of Georgia, and any person who knowingly falsifies such declarations shall be charged as for false swearing. Failure by the patient or other persons liable for cost of care to provide information required by such declarations shall create a rebuttable presumption that the patient or other persons liable for cost of care consents to and agrees with the assessment, and the declaration shall contain on its face, conspicuously and in clear language, a statement to that effect.
(c) The Department, through its duly authorized agents, shall have access to Georgia income tax records for the purpose of obtaining necessary information to enforce this Act. Upon the request of the Department or its duly authorized agents, the State Revenue Commissioner and his agents or employees shall disclose such income tax information con tained in any report or return required under Georgia law as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of this Act. Any tax information secured from the federal government by the Georgia Department of Revenue pursuant to express provisions of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 may not be disclosed by said Department of Revenue pur suant to this subsection. Any person receiving any tax information or tax returns under the authority of this subsection shall be considered either an officer or employee as those terms are used in the first paragraph of Code Section 92-3216 (subsection (a) of Code Section 91A-3711 on and after January 1, 1980) and as such an officer or employee, any person receiving any tax information or returns under the authority of this subsection shall be subject to the provisions of Code Section 92-9914 (Code Section 91A-9932.1 on and after January 1, 1980), relating to sanctions to be imposed for the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information regarding income taxes.
(d) Any evidence, records or other information obtained by the Department or its duly authorized agents pursuant to the authority of this Section shall be confidential and shall be used by said Department or its agents only for the purposes of enforcing the provisions of this Act and shall not be released for any purpose other than a hearing pro vided for by this Act.
Section 5. Responsibility for cost of care. Each patient receiving services from a State hospital shall be legally responsible for, and shall pay to, the Department the cost of his care received from a State hospital. Payments for cost of care shall be payable fol lowing the receipt of services in accordance with standards and procedures established by the Department. In the event the Department is unable to collect the assessment from the patient, or in the event the patient's assessment is less than the full cost of care for such patient, then all other persons liable for the cost of care for such patient shall pay to the Department their respective assessments as provided by Section 3 of this Act.
Section 6. Insurance. In the event the patient is covered by an insurance contract providing for payment of hospitalization, medical expenses and other health care services, or any combination thereof, such patient, or other person liable for the cost of care of such patient, shall pay or cause to have paid, from such insurance benefits, without deduction, exemptions or credits, the full cost of care of the patient, or that portion thereof covered by such insurance benefits. In connection therewith, the assessment of persons liable for cost of care of the patient made by the Department pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Act shall be for the total amount payable by such insurance benefits up to the total cost of care or for that portion of cost of care payable by such insurance benefits, and if such insurance benefits are less than the total cost of care, such assessment shall include an assessment based on the remaining balance. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section, the Department is authorized to accept assignment of bene fits payable under such insuring agreements, but the Department shall not require the assignment of such benefits as a condition precedent to the admission of a patient to a hospital or as a condition precedent to providing services for such patient.

Section 7. Other assets, (a) In addition to the use of income for determining assessments provided for in this Act and for the payment of such assessments, any other assets of a person liable for cost of care, except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section, shall be considered in determining an assessment and shall be liable for the pay ment thereof. Such assets shall include any tangible or intangible property or any combi nation thereof and shall also include the net proceeds derived from the disposition of any such property including any disposition of any such property which took place ninety days or less prior to the date services were first rendered to the patient by a hospital. When the income of a person liable for cost of care is sufficient to determine that an assessment should be made for the total cost of care, it shall not be necessary for the Department to investigate and determine the other assets of such person, but such investigation and determination may be made by the Department if necessary to collect the assessment from the person liable for cost of care.
(b) The following assets of a person liable for cost of care shall be exempt from the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section:
(1) Real property which qualifies for a homestead exemption pursuant to the requirements of subchapter B of Code Chapter 91A-11 of the "Georgia Public Reve nue Code" or Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution of 1976; and

(3) Any other assets up to a total value of $10,000.00.
Section 8. Standards for assessments. The Department shall establish standards for determining assessments when such assessments are less than the full cost of care. Such standards shall be based on the income, assets ,and other circumstances of the per sons liable for cost of care and shall include consideration of the number of dependents (as defined under Georgia income tax law and regulations), legal rights to payment under any insurance agreement, and other evidence of ability to pay, but no assessment shall be fixed or collected on the basis of any assets exempted by the provisions of subsection (b) of Section 7 of this Act. In establishing standards to determine such assessments the Department shall adopt criteria to be applied uniformly to all persons liable for cost of care. To the extent practicable, such criteria shall insure that persons having the same or substantially the same financial ability to pay cost of care shall have the same or substan tially the same financial obligation to pay such cost of care.
Section 9. Hearings. Hearings shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the Act known as the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act," approved March 10, 1964 (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 338), as amended, and judicial review of a final decision by the Depart ment shall be as provided in Section 20 of said Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.
Section 10. Actions for collection authorized. The Department shall bill per sons liable for cost of care for the amount due on their assessments in the same manner as other debts and accounts. The Department is authorized to maintain in the name of the Department and the State of Georgia any action at law or equity in any court of this State or any other state which may be necessary to collect said sums.
Section 11. Care of patients not related to payment. Care rendered to all patients in State hospitals shall be of the same nature and quality without regard to whether the payment of any sum or sums is made under the provisions of this Act for the cost of care.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 4. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 84-1424, concerning a real estate recovery fund, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 84-1424 to read as follows:
"84-1424. Real estate education, research, and recovery fund; exceptions; fees. The Commission is authorized and directed to establish and maintain a real estate education, research, and recovery fund. All funds in the real estate recovery fund established by Ga. Laws 1973, p. 100 shall be transferred to and utilized through the real estate educa tion, research, and recovery fund.
(a) The Commission shall maintain a minimum balance of $500,000.00 in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund from which any person, except bonding companies when they are not principals in a real estate transaction, aggrieved by an act, representation, transaction or conduct of a duly licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson which is in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or of the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant thereto, may recover by order of any court having competent jurisdiction, actual or compensatory damages, not including interests and costs sustained by the act, representation, transaction, or conduct; Pro vided, that nothing shall be construed to obligate the fund for more than $10,000.00 per transaction regardless of the number of persons aggrieved or parcels of real estate involved in such transaction. In addition:
(1) The liability of the fund for the acts of a duly licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson, when acting as such, is terminated upon the issuance of court orders authorizing payments from the fund for judgments, or any unsatisfied portion of judg ments, in an aggregate amount of $20,000.00 on behalf of such licensee.
(2) A licensee acting as a principal or agent in a real estate transaction has no claim against the fund. When any person makes application for an original license to practice as a real estate broker or associate broker, he shall pay, in addition to his original license fee, a fee of $20.00 for deposit in the education, research, and recovery fund. When any person makes application for an original license to practice as a salesperson, he shall pay, in addition to his original license fee, a fee of $10.00 for deposit in the education, research, and recovery fund. In the event that the Commission does not issue a license, this fee shall be returned to the applicant. (b) (1) No action for a judgment which subsequently results in an order for collec tion from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund shall be started later than two years from the accrual of the cause of action thereon. When any aggrieved person commences action for a judgment which may result in collection from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, the aggrieved person shall notify the Commission in writing, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to this effect at the time of the commencement of such action. The Commission shall have the right to intervene in and defend any such action.
(2) When any aggrieved person recovers a valid judgment in any court of compe tent jurisdiction against any licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson for any act, representation, transaction, or conduct which is in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or of the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, which occurred on or after July 1, 1973, the aggrieved person may, upon termination of all proceedings, including reviews and appeals in connection with the judgment, file a verified claim in the court in which the judgment was entered and, upon ten days' written notice to the Commission, may apply to the court for an order directing payment out of the real estate education, research, and recovery fund of the amount unpaid upon the judgment, subject to the limitations stated in this Section.
(3) The court shall proceed upon such application in a summary manner and, upon the hearing thereof, the aggrieved person shall be required to show:
(A) he is not a spouse or debtor, or the personal representative of such spouse; (B) he has complied with all the requirements of this Section;
(C) he has obtained a judgment, as set out in subsection (b)(2) of this Section, stating the amount thereof and the amount owing thereon at the date of the appli
cation and, that in such action, he had joined any and all bonding companies which

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1979

823

issued corporate surety bonds to the judgment debtors as principals and all other necessary parties;
(D) he has caused to be issued a writ of execution upon such judgment and the officer executing the same has made a return showing that no personal or real prop erty of the judgment debtor liable to be levied upon in satisfaction of the judgment could be found, or that the amount realized on the sale of them or of such of them as were found, under such execution, was insufficient to satisfy the judgment, stat ing the amount so realized and the balance remaining due to the judgment after application thereon of the amount realized;
(E) he has caused the judgment debtor to make discovery under oath concerning his property, in accordance with the 'Georgia Civil Practice Act,' approved March 18, 1966 (Ga. Laws 1966, p. 609), as amended;
(F) he has made all reasonable searches and inquiries to ascertain whether the judgment debtor is possessed of real or personal property or other assets, liable to be sold or applied in satisfaction of the judgment;
(G) that by such search he has discovered no personal or real property or other assets liable to be sold or applied, or that he has discovered certain of them, describing them, owned by the judgment debtor and liable to be so applied, and that he has taken all necessary action and proceedings for the realization thereof, and that the amount thereby realized was insufficient to satisfy the judgment, stat ing the amount so realized and the balance remaining due on the judgment after application of the amount realized;
(H) that the following items, if any, as recovered by him, have been applied to the actual or compensatory damages awarded by the court;
(i) any amount recovered from the judgment debtor or debtors;
(ii) any amount recovered from the bonding company or companies;
(iii) any amount recovered in out-of-court settlements as to particular defen dants.
(4) Whenever the aggrieved person satisfies the court that it is not practical to comply with one or more of the requirements enumerated in subparagraphs (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H) of subsection (b)(3) of this Section and that the aggrieved person has taken all reasonable steps to collect the amount of the judgment or the unsatisfied part thereof and has been unable to collect the same, the court may, in its discretion, dispense with the necessity for complying with such requirements.
(5) The court shall make an order directed to the Commission requiring payment from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund of whatever sum it shall find to be payable upon the claim, pursuant to the provisions of and in accordance with the limitations contained in this Section, if the court is satisfied, upon the hear ing, of the truth of all matters required to be shown by the aggrieved person by sub section (b)(3) of this Section and is satisfied that the aggrieved person has fully pursued and exhausted all remedies available to him for recovering the amount awarded by the judgment of the court.
(6) Should the Commission pay from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund any amount in settlement of a claim or toward satisfaction of a judg ment against a licensed broker, associate broker, or salesperson, the license of such broker, associate broker, or salesperson shall be automatically revoked upon the issu ance of a court order authorizing payment from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund. If such license is that of a corporation or partnership, the license of the qualifying broker of the corporation or partnership shall automatically be revoked upon the issuance of a court order authorizing payment from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund. No such broker, associate broker, or salesperson shall be eligible to receive a new license until he has repaid in full, plus interest at the rate of six percent a year, the amount paid from the real estate educa tion, research, and recovery fund on his account. A discharge in bankruptcy shall not relieve a person from the penalties and disabilities provided in this subsection.
(7) If, at any time, the money deposited in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund is insufficient to satisfy any duly authorized claim or portion thereof,

824

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the Commission shall, when sufficient money has been deposited in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, satisfy such unpaid claims or portions thereof in the order that such claims or portions thereof were originally filed, plus accumu lated interest at the rate of four percent a year. (c) The sums received by the Commission pursuant to any provisions of this Section shall be deposited into the State treasury and held in a special fund to be known as the 'Real Estate Education, Research, and Recovery Fund' and shall be held by the Commission in trust for carrying out the purposes of this Section. These funds may be invested in any investments which are legal for domestic life insurance companies under the laws of this State, and the interest from these investments shall be deposited to the credit of the real estate education, research, and recovery fund and shall be available for the same purposes as all other money deposited in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund. (d) It shall be unlawful for any person or his agent to file with the Commission any notice, statement, or other document required under the provisions of this Section which is false, untrue, or contains any material misstatement of fact and shall constitute a mis demeanor. (e) When the Commission receives notice, as provided in subsection (b), the Commis sion may enter an appearance, file an answer, appear at the court hearing, defend the action, or take whatever other action it may deem appropriate on behalf and in the name of the defendant, and take recourse through any appropriate method of review on behalf and in the name of the defendant. (f) When, upon the order of the court, the Commission has paid from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund any sum to the judgment creditor, the Commis sion shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the judgment creditor, and the judgment creditor shall assign all his right, title, and interest in the judgment to the Commission before any payment is made from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, and any amount and interest so recovered by the Commission on the judgment shall be deposited to the fund. (g) The failure of an aggrieved person to comply with all of the provisions of this Section shall constitute a waiver of any rights hereunder. (h) The Commission, in its discretion, may use any and all funds, in excess of the $500,000.00 required by paragraph (a) of this Section, regardless of whether such funds are from the real estate education, research, and recovery fund or from accrued interest thereon, for the purpose of helping to underwrite the cost of the continuing education provisions of this Act enumerated in Section 84-1411. Provided, however, that the Com mission shall not expend or commit sums for educational or research purposes in such amounts that would cause the real estate educational, research, and recovery fund to be reduced to an amount less than $500,000.00. (i) In addition to the license fees provided for in this Chapter, the Commission, in its discretion and based upon the need to insure that a minimum balance of $500,000.00 is maintained in the real estate education, research, and recovery fund, may assess each licensee, only upon renewal of his license, an amount not to exceed $30.00 per year."
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.

This shortage is inimical to the safety, health and welfare of the residents of this State and the sound growth of its municipali ties. The cost of financing the ownership and rehabilitation of housing in urban areas is a major factor affecting the ability of a person to obtain decent and safe housing in urban areas. In order to remedy such housing shortages, it is necessary to implement a public program to reduce the cost of financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of housing, in order to make the acquisition of housing feasible for all persons and families residing or desiring to reside in the municipalities of the State.
(b) That it is necessary and essential that public corporations be created for all municipalities of the State to directly, or indirectly through qualified lending institutions, make loans at rates below market to finance either the acquisition or rehabilitation of resi dential housing and to acquire mortgages in order to encourage investment in and upgrade urban areas.
(c) That it is necessary and in the best interests of the State to provide loans at rates below market for the acquisition and rehabilitation of housing which will:
(1) provide for and promote the public health, safety and welfare in the municipal ities of the State;
(2) reduce unemployment and encourage the increase of industrial and commercial activities and economic development in said municipalities;
(3) provide for the efficient and well-planned growth and development of said municipalities, including the elimination and prevention of slum areas and blight, and the proper coordination of industrial facilities with public services, mass transporta tion facilities and residential development by providing an incentive for home owner ship within the geographical limits of said municipalities;
(4) assist persons and families in acquiring and owning decent, safe and sanitary housing within the geographic limits of said municipalities which they can afford;
(5) promote the integration of families of varying economic means in said munici palities; and
(6) preserve and increase the tax base of said municipalities. (d) Accordingly, it is determined that it is a valid public purpose, as a matter oi public health, safety, convenience and welfare, to assist in providing financing for eithei

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(f) In addition, each Authority shall commit at least 70'< of the aggregate amount of loanable funds, directly or indirectly, to eligible households whose median household income does not exceed two times the median household income of eligible recipients residing within the municipality creating the Authority. This formula is to apply only for the first eight months of any one issue. In no instance shall any Authority use any of its funds to make loans to finance mortgages if the income of the eligible household is in excess of two and one-half times the median household income of eligible recipients residing within the municipality creating the Authority. Each Authority may, at its discre tion, establish a maximum household income less than twice the median income, and may allocate all or part of its available funds to households with incomes less than the maxi mum set in this Act.
(g) The bonds of each issue shall be dated, shall bear interest at such rate or rates as shall be set by the Authority, without limitation by any existing law of the State, pay able at such times as the Authority may determine, shall mature at such time or times as the Authority may determine, shall be payable in such medium of payment as to both principal and interest as may be determined by the Authority, and may be made either redeemable before maturity, at the option of the Authority, or exchangeable for other bonds of the same series at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the Authority in the resolution providing for the issuance of such bonds, or both redeemable and exchangeable. The bonds may be issued as serial bonds or as term bonds with or without mandatory sinking fund provisions or as a combination thereof.
(h) The Authority shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest or principal coupons to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of principal and interest thereof, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without the State.
(i) All such bonds shall be executed in the name of the Authority by the chairman and secretary of the Authority and shall be sealed with the official seal of the Authority or a facsimile thereof. Coupons shall be executed in the name of the Authority by the chairman of the Authority. The facsimile signature of either the chairman or the secretary of the Authority may be imprinted in lieu of the manual signature if the Authority so directs and the facsimile of the chairman's signature shall be used on such coupons. Bonds and interest coupons appurtenant thereto bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a person in office at the time such signature was signed or imprinted shall be fully valid not withstanding the fact that before or after the delivery thereof such person ceased to hold
such office. (j) The bonds may be issued in coupon or in registered form, or both, as the Author
ity may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest. The Authority may sell such bonds at public or private sale in such manner and for such price as it may deter mine to be for the best interest of the Authority.
(k) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds the Authority may issue interim receipts, interim certificates, or temporary bonds exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter. The Authority may also provide for the replacement of any bond which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost. Such revenue bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things than those proceedings, conditions and things which are specified or required by this Act.
(1) Each Authority is hereby authorized to provide by resolution for the issue of refunding bonds of the Authority for the purpose of refunding any bonds issued under the provisions of this Act and then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon. The issuance of such 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 gov erned by the foregoing provisions of this Act insofar as the same may be applicable.
(m) If the Authority so determines, the bonds may be issued pursuant to a trust indenture between the Authority and a trustee, which trust indenture shall have such terms and provisions as may be determined by the Authority.
(n) Except as herein provided, all revenue bonds issued by the Authority under the
Act shall be executed, confirmed and validated under, and in accordance with, the Reve
nue Bond Law of the State, except that in lieu of specifying the rate or rates of interest

which revenue bonds to be issued by an Authority are to bear, the notice to district attor ney or Attorney General, the petition and complaint filed in the validation proceeding, and the notice to the public of the time, place and date of the validation hearing may state that the bonds when issued will bear interest at a rate not exceeding a maximum per annum rate of interest specified in such notices or that in the event that bonds are to bear different rates of interest for different maturity dates that none of such rates will exceed the maximum rate specified in the notices; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or restricting the right of the Authority to sell such bonds at a discount, even if in so doing the effective interest cost resulting therefrom would exceed the maximum per annum interest rate specified in such notices.
(o) In the event no appeal is filed within the time prescribed by law, or, if filed, the judgment shall be affirmed on appeal, the judgment of the Superior Court so confirming and validating the issuance of said bonds and the security therefor shall be forever conclu sive upon the validity of said bonds and the security therefor against the Authority and all other persons.
(p) The bonds are hereby made securities in which all public officers and bodies of the State and all municipalities, all insurance companies and associations and other per sons carrying on an insurance business, all banks, bankers, trust companies, savings banks, and savings associations, including savings and loan associations, building and loan associa tions, investment companies and other persons carrying on a banking business, all admin istrators, guardians, executors, trustees and other fiduciaries and all other persons whatsoever who are now or may hereafter be authorized to invest in bonds or other obli gations of the State may properly and legally invest funds including capital in their control or belonging to them. The bonds are also hereby made securities which may be deposited with and shall be received by all public officers and bodies of the State and all municipali ties for any purposes of which the deposit of the bonds or other obligations of the State is now or may hereafter be authorized.
Section 9. Pledge by Authority. Each Authority may pledge for the payment of its bonds such assets, funds and properties as the resolution providing for the issuance of its bonds may provide. Any such pledge made by the Authority shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made. The monies or properties so pledged and there after received by the Authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act; and the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind against the Authority, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. No resolution or any other instru ment by which a pledge is created need be recorded.
Section 10. Tax Exemptions. As each Authority will be performing essential govern ment functions in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it by this Act, the State cove nants with the holders of the bonds of an Authority that the Authority shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments upon any of the property acquired by it or under its juris diction, control, possession or supervision or upon its activities in the operation or mainte nance of any facilities maintained or acquired by it or any fees, rentals or other charges for the use of such facilities or other income received by the Authority and that the bonds and notes of the Authority, their transfer, and the income therefrom shall at all times be exempt from taxation within the State. The exemption from taxation herein provided shall not extend to tenants nor lessees of the Authority; and shall not include exemptions from sales and use taxes on property purchased by the Authority or for use by the Authority. No Authority shall be required to pay any intangible tax on the recording of any mortgage held by the Authority.
Section 11. Bonds or Obligations not to Constitute Public Debt. No bonds or other obligations of and no indebtedness incurred by any Authority shall constitute an indebted ness or obligation of the State or any county, municipal corporation or political subdivision thereof nor shall any act of any Authority in any manner constitute or result in the crea tion of an indebtedness of the State or any such county, municipal corporation or political subdivision. All such bonds and obligations shall be payable solely from the revenues

Section 13. Audits. Each Authority and each trustee acting on behalf of an Author ity shall submit to an annual independent audit performed by a qualified firm selected by the governing authority of the municipality activating the Authority. Payment for this audit shall be paid from the reserve funds held by the trustee for the Authority.
Section 14. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudica tion 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, sen tence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not orig inally 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.

By: Representatives Lambert of the 112th, Hatcher of the 131st, Phillips of the 120th, Battle of the 124th, Auten of the 154th, and Chance of the 129th: A BILL to provide for certain matters relative to shore assistance; to provide a short title "Shore Assistance Act of 1979"; to provide for the requirement of permits for shoreline engineering activities, structures, and land alterations; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To provide for certain matters relative to shore assistance; to provide a short title; to provide for legislative intent and findings; to provide for definitions; to provide for juris diction of the Act; to provide for the requirement of permits for shoreline engineering activities, structures, and land alterations; to provide for exceptions to the requirement for permits; to provide for contents of permit applications; to provide a time period in which the permit-issuing authority must act; to provide for waiver of the time period at the option of the applicant; to provide notification of the application to certain persons; to provide a time period in which the proposed project must be completed; to provide for extension of such time period upon a showing of due effort and diligence; to provide for the issuance of permits in certain areas and for certain activities and to establish criteria for issuing permits; to provide assessment tools and techniques to be used in the evalu ation of permit applications; to provide for conditions of such permits; to provide for the display and posting of permits; to provide for the creation, composition and powers of the Shore Assistance Committee; to provide the authority for the Board of Natural Resources to delegate certain powers of the Committee to local units of government; to provide that such delegation of powers may be rescinded by the Board; to provide that certain powers of the Committee may not be delegated; to provide for administrative and judicial review of certain orders and actions and to provide procedures for such review; to provide for enforcement of the Act by the Department of Natural Resources by administrative orders, emergency orders, and injunctive relief; to provide for jurisdiction of injunction actions; to provide for civil penalties; to provide for the Department to render technical assistance; to provide that local units of government may enact more restrictive ordinances; to provide for severability; to provide an effective date; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; 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 "Shore Assistance Act of 1979."
Section 2. Legislative Findings. The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that coastal sand dunes, beaches, sandbars and shoals comprise a vital natural resource system, known as the sand-sharing system, which acts as a buffer to protect real and per sonal property and natural resources from the damaging effects of floods, winds, tides and erosion. It is recognized that the coastal sand dunes are the most inland portion of the sand-sharing system and that because the dunes are the fragile product of shoreline evolu tion, they are easily disturbed by actions harming their vegetation or inhibiting their natu ral development. The General Assembly further finds that offshore sandbars and shoals are the system's first line of defense against the potentially destructive energy generated by winds, tides, and storms and help to protect the onshore segment of the system by act ing as reservoirs of sand for the beaches. Removal of sand from these bars and shoals can

852

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

interrupt natural sand flows and have unintended, undesirable and irreparable effects on the entire sand-sharing system, particularly when the historical patterns of sand and water flows are not considered and accommodated. Also, it is found that ocean beaches provide an unparalleled natural recreation resource which has become vitally linked to the econ omy of Georgia's coastal zone and to that of the entire State. The General Assembly fur ther finds that this natural resource system is costly, if not impossible, to reconstruct or rehabilitate once adversely affected by man-related activities, is important to conserve for the present and future use and enjoyment of all citizens and visitors to this State, and that the sand-sharing system is an integral part of Georgia's barrier islands, providing great protection to the State's marshlands and estuaries. The General Assembly further finds that this sand-sharing system is a vital area of the State and is essential to maintain the health, safety and welfare of all the citizens of the State.
Therefore, the General Assembly declares that the management of the sand-sharing system has more than local significance, is of equal importance to all citizens of the State, is of Statewide concern, and consequently is properly a matter for regulation under the police power of the State. The General Assembly further finds and declares that activities and structures on offshore sandbars and shoals for all purposes except federal navigational activities be regulated to insure that the values and functions of the sand-sharing system are not impaired. It is declared to be a policy of this State and the intent of this Act to protect this vital natural resource system by authorizing the local units of government of the State of Georgia to regulate activities and alterations of the ocean sand dunes and beaches and, recognizing that if the local units of government fail to carry out the policies expressed in this Act, it is essential that the Department of Natural Resources undertake such regulation.

(a) Administrative Orders. The Department may issue an administrative order speci fying the provision of this Act or the rule, or both, alleged to have been violated and require the person so ordered to cease and desist from such activity and to take corrective action within a reasonable period of time as prescribed in the order. Such corrective action may include, but shall not be limited to, requiring that the sand dunes, beaches and sub merged shoreline lands be returned to their condition prior to the violation of the Act or rule adopted pursuant thereto. Any such order shall become final unless the person named therein requests in writing a hearing before a hearing officer appointed by the Board no later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of such order. Review of such order shall be available as provided in subsection (a) of Section 12 of this Act.
(b) Emergency Orders. Whenever the Department finds that an emergency exists requiring immediate action to protect the public interest, the Department may issue an order to be effective immediately reciting the existence of such an emergency and requir ing that such action be taken as it deems necessary to meet the emergency; provided, how ever, that such an emergency order shall be issued only after an affidavit has been filed with the Department showing irreparable injury. Any person against whom such order is directed shall comply therewith immediately, but on application to the Department shall be afforded a hearing within ten (10) days. On the basis of such hearing, the Department shall be authorized to continue such order in effect, to revoke the order or to modify it. Review of such order shall be available as provided in subsection (a) of Section 12 of this Act.
(c) The Department may seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 14 of this Act. (d) Any person who violates any provision of this Act, or any rule or regulation adopted hereunder, or any permit, or final or emergency order of the Department shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for each act of violation. Each day of continued violation shall subject said person to a separate civil pen alty. A hearing officer appointed by the Board after a hearing conducted in accordance with the Act known as the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act," approved March 10, 1964 (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 338), as now or hereafter amended, shall determine whether or not any person has violated any provision of this Act, or any rule or regulation adopted hereunder, or any permit or final or emergency order of the Department and shall upon proper finding issue an order imposing such civil penalties as herein provided. Review of such order shall be available as provided in subsection (a) of Section 12 of this Act. All civil penalties recovered by the Department as provided herein shall be paid into the State Treasury to the credit of the general fund.
Section 14. Injunctive Relief. Any activity in violation of this Act or of any ordi nance or regulation adopted pursuant hereto shall be a public nuisance, and such activity may be enjoined or abated by an action filed in the proper superior court by the Attorney

858

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

General for the Department, by any local unit of government affected, or by any person. Upon showing of any activity in violation of this Act or any ordinance or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, a temporary restraining order, a permanent or temporary injunction, or other order shall be granted without the necessity of showing lack of an ade quate remedy at law and irreparable injury. The relief granted by the court in an action filed pursuant to this Section may include, but shall not be limited to, an order requiring the sand dunes, beaches and submerged shoreline lands to be returned to their condition prior to such violation.
Section 15. Jurisdiction. The superior court of the county in which the alleged vio lator or person against whom substantial relief is sought resides shall have jurisdiction to restrain a violation of this Act at the suit of the Department, any local unit of government affected, or any person.
Section 16. Technical Assistance. The Department shall provide technical assistance to any local unit of government which requests such assistance in order to develop an ordi nance meeting the requirements of this Act. The Department shall also develop a model ordinance which may be used by such local units of government.
Section 17. More Restrictive Ordinances. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as prohibiting a local unit of government from adopting ordinances more restrictive in regard to activity on sand dunes and beaches than the standards set forth in this Act.
Section 18. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudica tion 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, sen tence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not orig inally 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 19. Effective Date. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 20. Repealer. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

"CHAPTER 27-30 RESTITUTION
27-3001. Policy. It is hereby declared to be the policy of this State that restitution by those convicted of crimes to their victims is a primary concern of the criminal justice sys tem.
27-3002. Definitions. For the purposes of this Chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings herein ascribed to them unless the context clearly requires otherwise:
(a) The term 'Board' shall mean the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. (b) The term 'Department' shall mean the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. (c) The term 'damages' shall mean all damages which a victim could recover against an offender in a civil action, including a wrongful death action, based on the same act or acts for which the offender is sentenced, except punitive damages and damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, or loss of consortium. (d) The term 'offender' shall mean any natural person placed on probation under the First Offender Act, sentenced for any crime or any juvenile adjudged delinquent or unruly. (e) The term 'ordering authority' shall mean the court of competent jurisdiction, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, or the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, or any combination thereof, as is required by the context. (f) The term 'relief shall mean any suspended or probated sentence including proba tion imposed under the First Offender Act, any parole or other conditional release from incarceration, the awarding of earned time, the reduction in security status or the place ment in prison rehabilitation programs, included, but not limited to, those in which the offender receives monetary compensation.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1979

891

(g) The term 'restitution' shall mean any property or lump sum of periodic payment ordered to be made by any offender to any victim by any ordering authority. Where the victim is a public corporation or governmental entity, or where the offender is a juvenile, restitution may also be in the form of services ordered to be performed by the offender.
(h) The term 'restitution order' shall mean any order, decree, or judgment of an order ing authority which requires an offender to make restitution as a condition or term of any relief granted to an offender.
(i) The term 'victim' shall mean any natural person or his personal representative, or any firm, co-partnership, association, public or private corporation, or governmental entity suffering damages caused by an offender's unlawful act.
27-3003. Adults. The judge of any court of competent jurisdiction may order that an adult offender make restitution as a condition of any relief ordered by the court. The State Board of Pardons and Paroles may order that an adult offender make restitution as a condition of any relief ordered by the Board. The Department of Offender Rehabilitation may order that an adult offender make restitution as a condition of any relief ordered by the Department.
27-3004. Pardons and Paroles. Notwithstanding any provision of Code Section 77-525 to the contrary, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles may grant parole prior to the completion of one-third of the sentence if restitution is to be ordered as a condition of the parole.
27-3005. Juveniles, (a) The juvenile courts are expressly directed to consider the strong policy of this State in favor of restitution but are not required to place the goal of restitution by juveniles above the goal of rehabilitation or treatment of delinquent or unruly juveniles. It is, however, declared to be the policy of this State to recognize that the goal of restitution is consistent with the goal of rehabilitation of delinquent or unruly juveniles and to seek to provide restitution in such cases.
(b) The juvenile courts are expressly authorized to order restitution as a condition or limitation of the probation of delinquent or unruly juveniles in the same manner as authorized by this Chapter for adult offenders.
(c) The juvenile courts are authorized to retain jurisdiction over a juvenile subject to a restitution order for a reasonable period after the majority of such a juvenile for pur poses of ensuring compliance with the order.
(d) As an alternative to subsection (c), the juvenile courts are authorized to transfer to the superior courts, and the superior courts are authorized to accept, jurisdiction over enforcement of restitution orders against juveniles who have, since entry of the order, attained majority.
27-3006. Past restitution considered. Where an offender has made total or partical restitution to a victim, the ordering authority shall consider the fact of such restitution in considering any case within its power.
27-3007. Voluntary restitution plans. Any offender may offer a restitution plan to the ordering authority. If a plan is offered, it shall be the duty of the ordering authority to consider the factors stated in Section 27-3010, and to make such plan part of a restitution order if acceptable to the ordering authority.
27-3008. Required findings, (a) In deciding any case subject to this Chapter, the order ing authority shall, before granting any relief, make a written finding either;
(1) That there are no victims to whom restitution should be made under the policy of this State; or
(2) That the circumstances of the case are such that no restitution order or plan is reasonably possible; or
(3) That the offender, in cooperation with the ordering authority, has developed and consented to a plan of restitution which shall be made a part of a restitution order; or
(4) That restitution will be ordered as a condition of the relief. (b) The failure to make a finding as required by this Section, however, shall not invalidate any order or other action of the ordering authority. 27-3009. Restitution not to exceed damages. The amount of restitution ordered may be equal to or less than, but not more than, the victim's damages. 27-3010. Factors considered. In determining the nature and amount of restitution, the ordering authority shall consider:

892

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(a) The present financial condition of the offender and his dependents; (b) The probable future earning capacity of the offender and his dependents; (c) The amount of damages; (d) The goal of restitution to the victim and the goal of rehabilitation of the offender; (e) Any restitution previously made; (f) The period of time during which the restitution order will be in effect; (g) Other appropriate factors as the ordering authority shall deem to be appropriate. 27-3011. Civil Actions. An order for restitution shall not bar any civil action against the offender, but any payments made by an offender to a victim under an order for resti tution may be set off against any judgment awarded to the victim in a civil action based on the same facts for which restitution was ordered. The fact of restitution or a restitution order under this Chapter shall not be placed before the jury on the issue of liability. If the amount of restitution made is in dispute and liability is established, the court shall order further appropriate proceedings to determine the amount of set-off. 27-3012. Modification. The ordering authority shall retain jurisdiction to modify a restitution order at any time before the expiration of the relief ordered. 27-3013. Enforcement, (a) A restitution order shall be enforceable as a civil judgment by execution. (b) If an offender willfully refuses to comply with a restitution order, the order, in the discretion of the court, may be enforced by attachment for contempt upon the application of the district attorney or the victim. (c) Failure to comply with a restitution order may be, in the discretion of the ordering authority, grounds to revoke or cancel the relief at any time the restitution order is in effect. Where the relief is earned time, the Department of Offender Rehabilitation may suspend the offender from earning earned time for a specified period of time. 27-3014. Payments. Payments pursuant to an order for restitution shall be made to the clerk of court, or to any other person, for the benefit of the victim or victims, as the ordering authority shall order. 27-3015. Existing powers. This Chapter shall not be construed to limit or abrogate any existing power of any court or agency or board to place other conditions, limits, terms, rules, or regulations on any relief in the nature of suspension of sentence, probation, parole, pardon, or restoration of rights. 27-3016. Peonage; denial of benefits because of poverty. (a) Nothing in this Chapter shall authorize peonage, and this Chapter shall be con strued and diligently administered to prevent peonage. (b) No offender shall be denied any benefit, relief, or privilege to which he might otherwise be entitled or eligible solely because he is financially unable and cannot become financially able to make restitution."
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 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 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

(A) for expenses incident to the transfer of real property acquired by the Department, prepayment of mortgage penalties, and a pro rata portion of real prop erty taxes on real property acquired by the Department;
(B) for litigation expenses actually incurred by the condemnee in any condemna tion proceeding brought by the Department if the final judgment is that the Depart ment cannot acquire the real property by condemnation or the condemnation proceeding is formally abandoned by the Department; or
(C) for litigation expenses incurred by the plaintiff in any inverse condemnation proceeding brought against the Department and in which judgment is rendered in favor of the plaintiff.
(b) In acquiring real property for any federal-aid river and harbor improvement project, the costs of which are financed in whole or in part from federal funds, the Department shall be guided by the land acquisition policies required by Section 305(1) of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, Public Law 91-646, 91st Congress, approved January 2, 1971, and shall, to the greatest extent practicable, be guided by the following policies:
(1) The Department shall make every reasonable effort to acquire expeditiously real property by negotiation;
(2) Real property shall be appraised before the initiation of negotiations, and the owner or his designated representative shall be given an opportunity to accompany the appraiser during his inspection of the property;
(3) Before the initiation of negotiations for real property, the Department shall establish an amount which it believes to be just compensation therefor and shall make a prompt offer to acquire the property for the full amount so established. In no event shall such amount be less than the Department's approved appraisal of the fair market value of such property. The Department shall provide the owner of real prop erty to be acquired with a written statement of, and summary of the basis for, the amount established by the Department as just compensation. Where appropriate, the just compensation for the real property acquired and for damages to remaining real property shall be separately stated;
(4) No owner shall be required to surrender possession of real property before the Department pays the agreed purchase price, or deposits with the court pursuant to a declaration of taking, or the award of assessors or the special master, for the benefit of the owner, an amount not less than the Department's approved appraisal of the fair market value of such property or the amount of the award of the assessors or special master;
(5) The construction or development of a federal-aid river and harbor improve ment project shall be so scheduled that, to the greatest extent practicable, no person lawfully occupying real property shall be required to move from a dwelling (assuming

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1979

897

a replacement dwelling will be available), or to move his business or farm operation, without at least ninety days' written notice from the Department, of the date by
which such move is required; (6) If the Department permits an owner or tenant to occupy the real property
acquired on a rental basis for a short term, the amount of rent required shall not exceed the fair rental value of the property to a short-term occupier;
(7) In no event shall the Department either advance the time of condemnation, or defer negotiations or condemnation and deposit of funds in court for the use of the owner, or take any other action coercive in nature, in order to compel an agreement on the price to be paid for the property;
(8) If any interest in real property is to be acquired by exercise of the power of eminent domain, the Department shall institute formal condemnation proceedings. The Department shall not intentionally make it necessary for an owner to institute legal proceedings to prove the fact of the taking of his real property; and
(9) If the acquisition of only part of the property would leave its owner with an uneconomic remnant, as determined by the Department, the Department shall offer to acquire the entire property. (c) In acquiring real property for any federal-aid river and harbor improvement project, the cost of which is financed in whole or in part from federal funds, the Depart ment shall be guided by the land acquisition policies relating to buildings, structures, and improvements, specified by Section 305(1) of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, Public Law 91-646, 91st Congress, approved January 2, 1971, and shall to the greatest extent practicable be guided by the following policies:
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, if the Department acquires any interest in real property, it shall acquire at least an equal interest in all buildings, structures, or other improvements located upon the real property so acquired and which it requires to be removed from such real property or which it determines will be adversely affected by the use to which such real property will be put;
(2) For the purpose of determining the just compensation to be paid for any build ing, structure, or other improvement required to be acquired by subsection (a) of this Section, such building, structure, or other improvement shall be deemed to be part of the real property to be acquired notwithstanding the right or obligation of a tenant, as against the owner of any other interest in the real property, to remove such build ing, structure, or improvement at the expiration of his term, and the fair market value which such building, structure, or improvement contributes to the fair market value of such building, structure, or improvement for removal from the real property, which ever is the greater, shall be paid to the tenant therefor;
(3) Payment under this subsection shall not result in duplication of any payments otherwise authorized by law. No such payment shall be made unless the owner of the land involved disclaims all interest in the improvements of the tenant. In, considera tion for any such payment, the tenant shall bargain, sell, transfer, and convey to the Department all his right, title, and interest in and to such improvements. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to deprive the tenant of any rights to reject payment under this Section and to obtain payment for such property interests in accordance with applicable law, other than this Section. (d) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as creating in any condem nation proceeding brought under the power of eminent domain, any element of value or of damage."
Section 8. Said Code Title is further amended by inserting the phrase "and other major transportation facilities" after the word "roads" and before the word "of" in the second unnumbered paragraph of Code Section 95A-624, relating to the governing of fed eral laws in cases of conflict and the Department's ability to secure the benefits of federal programs to the State, as amended, so that the second unnumbered paragraph shall read as follows:

898

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

this Chapter, abiding at all times by a fundamental purpose to plan, construct, recon struct and maintain, as economically as possible, the public roads and other major trans portation facilities of Georgia which will best promote the interest, welfare, and progress of the citizens of the State of Georgia."
Section 9. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
PART ONE Legislative Basis of Authority
In the passage of this Act, the General Assembly is acting pursuant to the authority granted the General Assembly in Article III, Section X, Paragraph III (c) of the Constitu tion of the State of Georgia of 1976 to provide for a more effective management and fiscal administration of the State and pursuant to Article VII, Section II, Paragraph 1.2 of the Constitution of the State of Georgia of 1976 to utilize the powers of taxation and the reve nues derived from such taxation for educational purposes, in order to provide funds to local public school systems to aid in the furtherance of the educational purposes. Further, in order to carry out the very critical and important purposes of this Act, the General Assembly is acting in full and complete reliance upon the Supreme Court of Georgia's careful statement of legislative authority in the case of Broun et al. v. Wright et al., 231 Ga. 686 (1973), and upon the inherent authority of the General Assembly to interpret

its Constitutional authority and to be accorded a presumption of correctness in its exercise of that authority.
PART TWO Purpose
The purpose of this Act is to provide funds to local public school systems to aid in the furtherance of the educational purposes of the local public school systems and of the State as a whole. It is the further purpose of this bill to provide such funds in an appro priate manner so as to afford local school systems the opportunity and needed encourage ment to provide relief to local school taxpayers from the unfair burden of school taxes. It is the consensus of the General Assembly that, by affording such relief, local school property taxpayers will be given the incentive to wholeheartedly support a renewed com mitment to the growth and quality of the public schools, and their worthy educational pro grams, in this State.
PART THREE Grants to Local School Districts
Section 1. Grants Authorized. There may be allotted annually to each local public school system in the State for educational purposes, in addition to funds provided pursuant to other laws, certain grants.as provided in this Act.
Section 2. Allocation of Grants, (a) In any year in which the General Assembly appropriates by line item, and with specific reference to this Act, funds necessary to make grants to local public school systems in this State for educational purposes, such grants shall be allocated to each public school system in this State in the same ratio as the ratio of the total enrollment of the public and accredited nonpublic schools in the school district bears to the total enrollment of public and accredited nonpublic schools in the State as a whole.
(b) For the purposes of this Section, a nonpublic school is "accredited" if the school is an exempt organization pursuant to Section 501 (c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or its successor provision of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
(c) As used in this Section, "public and nonpublic schools" does not include postsecondary schools, colleges, or institutions.
PART FOUR Conditions Upon Grants
Section 1. Credit Against Ad Valorem Taxes. In order to provide better fiscal management and to carry out the purposes of this Act, the funds provided pursuant to this Act are intended to be used for educational purposes so that ad valorem property taxpayers in each local school district may be afforded relief from the burden of ad valorem school taxation in the district. In furtherance of such purposes, no local public school system shall be entitled to receive any of the funds provided for in this Act unless and until a credit against ad valorem tax in the district levied for school purposes is granted by the school district to all eligible tangible property located within the school dis trict. Each such credit shall equal a pro rata share of the sum of the grant allotted, pur suant to this Section, to the school district.
Section 2. Property to Which Credit Applicable. The credit provided in this Part shall be applicable with respect to taxes for all tangible property other than motor vehicles and trailers.
PART FIVE Limitation on Credits
Section 1. Maximum Credit. No credit, or combination of credits, granted to a taxpayer in a school district pursuant to Part Four of this Act shall exceed the lesser of:
(a) $1,500; and

Section 2. Payment of Taxes by Due Date. No credit authorized under Part Four of this Act shall be granted to any taxpayer unless such taxpayer pays his then cur rent tax liability for ad valorem property taxes levied in the district for school purposes on or before the date such liability shall become due. Provided, however, that the school board can by appropriate resolution extend the date that such tax liability shall become due, in order to comply with the provisions of this Section.
PART SIX Credit to Be Shown on Tax Bill
Each bill for ad valorem school taxes on property owned by taxpayers other than tax payers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the State Revenue Commissioner or his successor shall show as a credit against school taxes, which otherwise would have been levied in the district on such property to enable the district to raise the total of its revenues from the school tax and the grant for educational purposes, the amount of the credit to the taxpayer as a result of the grant funds allocated to the local public school system as provided in this Act. The form of such notice shall be as pre scribed by the State Revenue Commissioner, who shall determine and certify to the appro priate State fiscal officer the amount of funds to which each school system is entitled pursuant to this Act. The determination of the State Revenue Commissioner shall be final and the appropriate State fiscal officer shall disburse the funds pursuant to such certifica tion.
PART SEVEN Alternative Condition Upon Grants

have levied, to fund a budget equal in amount to the actual budget of the system (including funds from the grant program authorized by this Act) if no grant funds were actually received by the system pursuant to this Act for that year. This mill rate shall be labeled "Annual Equivalent Mill Rate."
(2) As a subtraction from the mill rate determined pursuant to paragraph (1), a mill rate which, if applied against the taxpayer's property, would produce tax revenue equal to the credit which would have been allowed to the taxpayer pursuant to Section 1 of Part Four of this Act. This mill rate shall be labeled "State School Tax Credit."
(3) As the remainder of the subtraction provided for in paragraph (2), the mill rate which is actually being levied against the taxpayer's property. This mill rate shall be labeled "Actual School Tax Mill Rate."
PART EIGHT Administrative Matters

Section 48.

Section 49. The Federal General Revenue Sharing and Anti-Recession Fiscal Assis tance Funds contemplated in this Act shall be applied to the appropriations of the Depart ment of Education and Regents, University System of Georgia for the line item "Teacher Retirement".

Section 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Fed eral funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropria tions Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and
Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effec tive matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that the Office of Planning and Budget utilize its budgetary and fiscal authority so as to accomplish the above-stated intent to the greatest degree feasible; and that at the end of this fiscal year, said Office of Planning and Budget provide written notice to the members of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the instances of noncompliance with the stated intent of this Section.

Section 1. An Act to create the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia as an insti tution of purely public charity performing an essential governmental function, approved March 18, 1975 (Ga. Laws 1975, p. 107), as amended, is hereby amended by striking Section 6 thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 6 to read as follows:
"Section 6. Public property Nature of Authority; use and taxation of property; tax exemption of bonds and notes, (a) It is hereby found, determined, and declared that the creation of the Authority and the carrying out of its corporate purposes are in all respects for the benefit of the people of this State and that the Authority is an institu tion of purely public charity performing an essential governmental function and a4i.
(b) (1) The property of said the Authority is hereby declared and shall in all respects be considered to be public property and title. Title to such the Authority's property shall be held by the Authority only for the benefit of the public and the use of such property pursuant to the terms of this Act shall be and is hereby declared to be for essential public and governmental purposes, that is, for the promotion of public general welfare in the matter of providing an adequate, dependable, and eco nomic electric power supply in an effort to better the general condition of society residing in the State of Georgia, which promotion is hereby declared to be a public beneficence for the good of humanity and for the general improvement and happiness of societyv eaxi aHL
(2) (A) It is recognized, however, that removal from local tax digests of the value of all grogerty owned by the Authority might impose an unfair burden upon many taxpayers whose property remains taxable. In the interest of weighing these benefits and concerns and arriving at an equitable policy regarding taxation of Authority property, the General Assembly hereby finds and declares that ecjuity requires that the exemption presently applicable to the Authority's property should remain in effect with resgect to property owned by the Authority and purchased with bond funds, at least until such bonds have been redeemed. However, the General Assem bly also finds and declares that property purchased by the Authority in the future should rightfully be subject to taxation so that the Authority may fulfill its good and public purposes without incidental harm to the State's local governments.
(B) Property owned by the Authority on the effective date of the 1979 amend ment to this Section and property purchased from the proceeds of the Authority's Series A, B; C^ or D bonds shall be nontaxable for any and all purposes by the State or any of its political subdivisions. All other property shall be taxable by the State and its political subdivisions. Property purchased from the proceeds of Series A, B, Cj or D bonds shall become taxable when the bond series producing the revenue to purchase the property is fully redeemed. (c) All of the property ef- and income, obligations, and interest on the bonds and notes of the Authority and the transfer thereof shall be and hereby are declared to be nontaxable for any and all purposes by the State or any of its political subdivisions."
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 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 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment was read:

Registration Procedure: Notice, (a) An obligee seeking to register a foreign support order in a superior court of this State shall transmit to the district attor ney (1) three certified copies of the order with all modifications thereof, (2) one copy of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act of the State in which the order was made, (3) one copy of the law governing certification of orders in the State in which the order is being certified, and (4) a statement verified and signed by the obligee, showing the post office address of the obligee, the last known place of residence and post office of the obligor, the amount of support remaining unpaid, a description and the location of any property of the obligor available upon execution, and a list of the states in which the order is registered. Upon receipt of these documents the district attorney shall file them with the clerk of superior court for the purpose of setting a hearing thereon.
(b) Within ten days after the filing the clerk shall send by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested to the obligor at the address given a notice of the filing with a copy of the support order and a copy of the rule nisi setting the matter down for hearing.

(b) If the obligor asserts no defenses or the court finds the obligor's defenses meritless, the court shall proceed to enter an order making the foreign support order an order of the courts of this State. The entry of such an order constitutes registration under this Act.
(c) The registration of a foreign support order, or of an order denying registration, or of an order in an action brought to enforce the provisions of a registered foreign sup port order shall constitute an order granting or denying support for the purposes of enti tling the county in which a proceeding is brought under the provisions of Sections 37 through 43 of this Act, to the $50 fee as provided in Section 10 of this Act, as amended.
(d) The court shall be empowered to order payment under the terms of the regis tered order through the clerk of the superior court, the probation department, the child support receiver, or such other collection agency as the court shall designate.
Section 43. Effect of Registration: Enforcement Procedure, (a) Upon registration the registered foreign support order shall be treated in the same manner as a support order issued by a court of this State. It has the same effect and is subject to the same procedures, defenses, and proceedings for modifying, vacating, or staying as a support order of this State and may be enforced and satisfied in like manner."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

make modifications to the plans and may resubmit the application at any time after doing so.
(f) In cases where the application covers a material change in the appearance of a structure which would require the issuance of a building permit, the rejection of an appli cation for a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Commission shall be binding upon the building inspector or other administrative officer charged with issuing building permits, and in such a case no building permit shall be issued.
(g) The Commission may, where such action is authorized by the local governing body and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for the preservation of a unique historic property, enter into negotiations with the owner for the acquisition by gift, purchase, exchange or otherwise of the property or any interest therein.
(h) Where, by reason of unusual circumstances, the strict application of any provi sion of this Act would result in exceptional practical difficulty or undue hardship upon any owner of any specific property, the Commission in passing upon applications shall have power to vary or modify strict adherence to said provisions or to interpret the meaning of said provision so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship; provided such variance, modification or interpretation shall remain in harmony with the general purpose and intent of said provisions so that the architectural or historical integrity or character of the property shall be conserved and substantial justice done. In granting variations, the Com mission may impose such reasonable and additional stipulations and conditions as will, in its judgment, best fulfill the purpose of this Act.

Section 9. Certain Changes not Prohibited. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature in or on a historic property that does not involve a material change in design, material, or outer appearance thereof, nor to prevent any property owner from making any use of his prop erty not prohibited by other statutes, ordinances or regulations.
Section 10. Authority to Acquire Historic Buildings and Make Appropriations. Within the limits of its historic preservation jurisdiction, any municipal or county local governing body may acquire property, and may pay therefor out of any funds which may be appropriated for that purpose. In addition, any such local governing body is authorized to make appropriations to its Historic Preservation Commission estab lished pursuant to this Act in any amount that it may determine necessary for the expenses of the operation of the Commission and may make available any additional amounts necessary for the acquisition, restoration, preservation, operation or management of historic places, districts, sites, buildings, structures, or works of art designated as his toric properties, or of land on which historic properties are located or to which they may be removed. No provision of this Section or of this Act shall be construed to expand the power of eminent domain of any county or municipality beyond the power of eminent domain possessed by such county or municipality prior to the effective date of this Act.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1979

This capital is where I have spent some of the most rewarding times of my life. It is good to he home.
Some of the problems and challenges of national government are different from those of state government, yet the experience I gained here, and the lessons I learned here, have proved very valuable to me during the past two years.
I learned, for example, that while our legislative and governmental processes are some times frustratingly slow, the needs and problems of our era are too complex and too inter related to permit simple answers.
The same is true at the national level. When the Founders wrote our Constitution, they didn't promise us that governing ourselves would be easy or that freedom would provide an automatic answer to every problem. They didn't promise us that democracy would be stagnant or easy or convenient -- they talked instead about eternal vigilance, about duty, about sacrifice, and they made provisions for beneficial change.
Most of the amendments to our Constitution over the generations have been designed to extend and perfect rights and liberties in our nation.
The Bill of Rights was the first change, setting forth our most basic safeguards for indi vidual liberty. Later, former slaves were granted their full rights, the people were allowed to vote directly for U. S. Senators, and women were brought into the electorate. Continu ing this trend, there are now two Constitutional amendments which I hope you will ratify. One of them will grant voting rights to residents of the District of Columbia, a proposed Amendment which received broad support in the Congress, including the votes of Senator Talmadge and Senator Nunn and all except two Georgia Congressmen. This granting of fundamental rights was also supported by conservative Republicans, including Senators Strom Thurmond and Barry Goldwater.
And I remind you that half our people are still not guaranteed their full rights in the Con stitution. We owe the women of Georgia -- and the people of the United States -- no less than the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.
These decisions are challenges for you.
Let me also mention one major challenge that faces me as President.
Because of problems that have developed over a long period of time, both at home and abroad, our nation now faces increasingly complex and challenging tasks. The time ahead will be difficult, requiring us to draw on the best that is within us -- our idealism, our willingness to face unpleasant realities, our readiness to put the long-term interest of all our people over the short-term interest of the few.
Later today, at Georgia Tech, I will discuss the responsibilities we face as a world power in the international arena.
But we face equally grave tasks here at home. And the most difficult of these responsibili ties is to control the persistent high inflation which threatens the health of our economy and the economic well-being of our people.
The importance of this task is hard to overemphasize. We must grapple with inflation in a context that is far different from the expansive days of the 1960's.
When I became President, I inherited both a huge budget deficit and an economy wracked by "stagflation" -- a combination of high inflation and high unemployment. We had the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression and at the same time inflation had been running at an average rate of eight percent for the three years before I took office.
We have moved firmly and stongly to tackle these problems. We have created over seven million new jobs and cut the unemployment rate by 25 percent. We have cut massive

1136

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

chunks out of the Federal deficit. And we have set forth an anti-inflation program that recognizes the causes of inflation and attacks the problem on a broad front.
Some of the causes of inflation are frankly beyond the control of government action. We cannot control the weather, which has an important impact on food prices. We cannot determine the actions of other nations, which affect the prices of energy and other com modities, though we can and do influence them in important ways. Nor can we erase the fiscal excesses of the early 1970's.
But we can act ourselves, and by planning wisely we can mitigate the effect of factors we cannot fully control.
Inflation is our most serious domestic problem -- and I have taken it seriously in prepar ing my budget.
The budget I have just proposed to the Congress cuts the Federal deficit. By the end of fiscal 1980, if my budget is adopted, the deficit will be $36 billion lower than it was when I was running for President -- a cut of more than half.
My budget also lowers the proportion of our nation's income that the Federal government spends to its lowest level in seven years. That proportion is no longer rising -- it is falling.
I set forth a goal in my campaign, and I am using the powers of my office to move our nation toward it -- the goal of a balanced budget.
We can achieve this goal by sensitive, sensible, careful public policy which will at the same time protect the strength of the American economy.
I have proposed a substantial increase for national defense. This afternoon I will analyze our international commitments in Europe, in the Middle East, and elsewhere. We must have the muscle to meet those commitments.
The President of the United States has no greater responsibility than to assure the defense of the nation, and the Congress of the United States has no greater responsibility than to give him the means to do that. Together, we will meet those responsibilities.
We must also continue to meet other needs of our nation, such as those of the poor and elderly, but there is a clear limit on the ability of the American people to pay higher and higher taxes to finance new programs. That is why our efforts to cut waste, to eliminate fraud and to end mismanagement of public funds are so important.
We have reformed the Civil Service system so that government will deliver more and bet ter service for every dollar we spend. We have now set up Inspector General offices in major Federal agencies to root out fraud and to bring to justice those who are responsible. We are already uncovering abuses in agencies like the General Services Administration. I intend to see these investigations of fraud and abuse pursued aggressively -- wherever they lead -- let the chips fall where they may.
The Federal government has neither the resources nor the wisdom to solve every problem by itself. The states and the localities -- and, most important, the people -- must do their part.
This is time for restraint. Expenditures must be controlled; the deficit must be reduced. But this kind of restraint is difficult. It asks each of us to serve the general good by accepting less than we want in a specific area.
I have sent to the Congress a budget that is tight but fair. Now, as in every other year, the inevitable pressures to spend just a little more here or a little more there -- for someone's pet project -- or for someone's favorite interest group -- have begun.
I am determined to fight those pressures.
I am determined to stand firm.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1979

1137

I am determined to use the full powers and resources of my office to hold the line on the Federal budget.
To hold that line, I need, and I ask for, the help and support of every elected official and every American taxpayer who shares my concern about waste and inflation.
I believe the people of this country are ready to build a new foundation for the 1980's, to regain control of our economy and of our destiny as a nation.
From our earliest days, students of American democracy have warned that our freedom and prosperity might tempt our citizens to get so caught up in their own personal pursuit of happiness that they would neglect the public business.
The challenge to us today is to put aside temporary gratifications for the sake of the longterm public good. The job will not be glamorous and results will not come quickly or eas ily. But I believe we will succeed. And when we have, the monuments to our efforts will be a vital, healthy economy -- sustaining the needs and hopes and dreams of all people.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL

(1) Accelerate or mature the indebtedness secured by such real estate on account of the sale or transfer of such real estate or on account of the assumption of such indebtedness; except that this paragraph (1) shall not apply if the person to whom the real estate would be sold or transferred does not intend to occupy the property as the person's principal residence, if such occupancy is a requirement imposed by federal regulatory authorities upon the lender.
(2) Increase the interest rate unless: (A) the borrower shall request in writing to the lender at the time of the making of the application to the lender for approval of the transfer or at any time prior to the granting or denying of approval of said trans fer by lender that borrower wishes to be relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby, and (B) the lender furnishes written evidence to the borrower that borrower has been relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby. Upon submission of proper proof, the clerk of the superior court in the county where the security instrument taken subject to is recorded enter a notation on the security instrument to the effect that the borrower has been relieved of liability under the terms of the security instru ment and the note secured thereby. In the event the lender so relieves the borrower of liability after having been requested to do so by the borrower, the lender may increase the interest rate on the indebtedness; provided, however, lender shall not escalate interest in excess of one percent per annum above the existing interest rate at the time of the transfer nor shall lender be entitled to escalate the interest rate

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1979

1139

more often than once in any twenty-four-month period. Any subsequent transfer of such property after twenty-four months from the time of the last escalation of interest shall likewise be limited to a one percent per annum increase above the interest rate of the indebtedness existing at the time of such subsequent transfer.
(3) Charge, collect, or attempt to collect any fee in excess of one-half of one per cent of the principal amount of the indebtedness outstanding on account of the sale or transfer of such real estate or on account of the assumption of such indebtedness, or $100.00, whichever amount is less.
(4) Enforce or attempt to enforce the provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust or other real estate security instrument executed on or after July 1, 1979, which provi sions are contrary to this Act.
(5) Withhold approval or disapproval of the sale or transfer of such real estate and the assumption of the indebtedness beyond forty-five days after receipt of the written application for same, otherwise the sale or transfer and the assumption shall be approved.
(6) Disapprove the sale or transfer of such real estate and the assumption of the indebtedness for any reason other than the credit worthiness of the person to whom the real estate would be sold or persons in the business of making loans on real estate in the same or similar provision in the security instrument shall be deemed to be against public policy and void. (b) The maximum increase allowed in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Act and the maximum fee allowed in paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this Act shall not be deemed required, minimum or ordinary, but said interest increase and fee may, in any case, be less than the amount allowed.

(f) In the event that the party assuming the indebtedness declines to agree to an increase in the interest rate as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Act, said indebtedness may be prepaid without penalty or increased interest at any time within sixty days after said assumption; but if the party does not make such prepayment within the sixty-day period the party shall be liable for the increased interest rate from the date of the assumption, and any prepayment penalty provided for in the security instrument shall thereafter be in effect.
(g) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed so as to permit a lender to increase the interest rate beyond applicable usury statutes.
(h) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit the right of the Federal Land Bank to increase or decrease the interest rate of any loan so long as such increase or decrease is pursuant to the terms of the variable interest rate provision of the security instrument or the note secured thereby and such increase or decrease is not the result of the transfer of the property serving the loan.
(i) This Act shall not be applicable to loans made by the Farmers Home Administra tion which provide for interest subsidies or variable interest rates based on the income of the borrower.
Section 3. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudica tion 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, sen tence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not orig inally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(g) Develop procedures for appeals of decisions of the State agency consistent with the Federal Act and the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act"; and
(h) Grant, deny, suspend or revoke a certificate of need. 88-3314. Authority of the Statewide Health Coordinating Council. In implementing the provisions of this Code Chapter, the Statewide Health Coordinating Council shall have the responsibility and authority to: (a) Adopt the State Health Plan and State Medical Facilities Plan; (b) Review and make recommendations to the State agency on proposed rules for the administration of this Code Chapter; and (c) Review and make recommendations to the State agency on criteria for review which shall, as a minimum, include those considerations specified in this Code Chapter. 88-3315. Nature of Certificate of Need. A certificate of need shall be valid only for the defined scope, physical location and person named in the application. A certificate of need shall not be transferable or assignable nor shall a project be transferred from one person to another. A certificate of need shall be valid for the period of time speci fied therein. A certificate of need shall be issued for a specific time period, which shall be defined in regulations, consistent with the scope of the project and effective on the date of the State agency's action. Within the effective period, the applicant of the proposed project must fulfill the specific performance requirements set forth by this Code Chapter for incurring a financial obligation in relation to the offering of a new institutional health service and continue the development of the proposal without unreasonable delay. By regulation, the State agency may define the period for which a certificate of need may be renewed, provided the applicant by petition makes a good faith showing that the financial obligation will be incurred within the extended approval period. 88-3316. Considerations. In conducting reviews and making determinations for cer tificates of need, the findings and recommendations of the health systems agencies and the decision of the State agency shall be based on the following considerations: (a) The relationship of the health services being reviewed to the applicable Health Systems Plan and Annual Implementation Plan adopted pursuant to Section 1513(b)(2) and (3), of the Federal Act; (b) The relationship of services reviewed to the long-range development plan, if any, of the person providing or proposing such services; (c) The need that the population served or to be served by such services has for such service; (d) The availability of less costly or more effective alternative methods of providing such services; (e) The immediate and long-term financial feasibility of the proposal, as well as the probable impact of the proposal on the costs and charges for providing health services by the person proposing the new institutional health service; (f) The relationship of the services proposed to be provided to the existing health care system of the area in which such services are proposed to be provided; (g) The availability of resources, including health manpower, management personnel and funds for capital and operating needs, for the provision of the services proposed to be provided and the availability of alternative uses of such resources for the provision of other health services; (h) The relationship, including the organizational relationship, of the health services proposed to be provided to ancillary or support services; (i) Special needs and circumstances of those entities which provide a substantial por tion of their services or resources, or both, to individuals not residing in the health ser vice areas in which the entities are located or in adjacent health service areas. Such entities may include medical and other health professions, schools, multi-disciplinary clinics and specialty centers; (j) The special needs and circumstances of health maintenance organizations for which assistance may be provided under Title XIII of the 'Public Health Service Act'; (k) The special needs and circumstances of biomedical and behavioral research projects which are designed to meet a national need and for which local conditions offer special advantages;

1157

(1) In the case of a construction project: (1) the cost and methods of the proposed construction, including the costs and
methods of energy provision; and (2) the probable impact of the construction project reviewed on the cost of provid
ing health services by the person proposing such construction project; and (m) When an application is made for a certificate of need to develop or offer a new institutional health service or health care facility for osteopathic medicine, the need for such facility shall be determined on the basis of the need and availability in the commu nity for osteopathic services and facilities. Nothing in this Code Chapter shall, however, be construed as recognizing any distinction between allopathic and osteopathic medicine. (n) In the case of any proposed new institutional health service for the provision of health services to inpatients or to be provided by or through a health maintenance orga nization, the State agency will make its findings as provided by the Federal Act and State rules and regulations adopted and amended pursuant thereto. (o) If by reason of unusual circumstances, the strict application of any provision of this Code Chapter or regulations promulgated thereunder would result in exceptional practical difficulty or undue hardship to a public or private agency by:
(1) adversely affecting facilities utilized for the training of medical practitioners, (2) adversely affecting minorities or the handicapped, or (3) increasing patient cost through increased administrative cost, the State agency shall have power to vary or modify strict adherence to said provisions so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship. 88-3317. Review Process. Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section, there shall be a time limit of 90 days for review of the project beginning on the day the State agency declares the application 'complete for review', as established by the State agen cy's regulations.
(a) The appropriate health systems agency shall review each application for a certifi cate of need in accord with its adopted plans, standards, criteria and procedures and shall submit its findings and recommendation thereon to the State agency no later than 60 days after receipt of a complete application by the State agency. The re :ommendation shall be to approve or deny the application. If, during the course of review, the applicant desires to modify the application, the State agency, in consultation with the health systems agency, shall make a determination as to whether such modification may be accepted or whether the scope of the modification requires withdrawal and resubmission of the application.
(b) The health systems agency shall, during the course of its review, provide an opportunity for a public meeting at which interested persons may introduce testimony and exhibits. A written summary of such testimony shall be forwarded to the State agency as part of the findings of the health systems agency. In addition, any person may file written comments and exhibits concerning a proposal under review with the appro priate health systems agency and the State agency.
(c) If a health systems agency fails to make any written comment or recommendation on an application within the time period as prescribed by rule or regulation, the State agency shall proceed to process such application notwithstanding such failure and may refuse to consider such later comments and recommendations unless consideration will not cause undue delay to the application.
(d) The State agency shall, no later than 90 days after acknowledgement of a com plete application, provide written notification to the applicant of intent to issue or to deny issuance of a certificate of need. Such notice shall contain a detailed statement of the reasons for approving or failing to approve the action proposed by said applicant. The State agency may adopt rules for determining when it would not be practicable to complete a review in 90 days but shall not extend the review period in excess of an addi tional 60 days.
(e) In the event that a decision of the State agency regarding issuance or denial of a certificate of need is inconsistent with the recommendation made thereto by the health systems agency, the State agency shall submit a written detailed statement to the health
systems agency of the reasons for the inconsistency.

1158

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(f) Should the State agency fail to provide any notification of intent to issue or deny an application within the time limitations set forth, the proposal shall be deemed to have been disapproved. Upon such disapproval, the applicant shall have such rights of appeal and judicial review as are provided in Section 88-3318 of this Code Chapter.
88-3318. Rights of Appeal and Judicial Review. In fulfilling the functions and duties of this Code Chapter, the State agency shall comply with the 'Georgia Adminis trative Procedure Act', Ga. Laws 1964, p. 338, as amended. Any applicant for a new institutional health service or capital expenditure project, a health systems agency, or any person who qualifies as a 'party' or 'person aggrieved' under said 'Georgia Adminis trative Procedure Act' shall have the right to a hearing before a panel of five persons from the State Health Planning Review Board to contest an agency decision to grant or deny a certificate of need. There is hereby created the State Health Planning Review Board which shall consist of ten persons, one from each of this State's congressional dis tricts, appointed by the Governor. Two members of said Board must be attorneys licensed to practice law in the State of Georgia. The Governor shall appoint persons to the Board who are familiar with the health care industry but who do not have a finan cial interest in any health care^ facility as said term is defined by,this Act. The Governor shall not appoint any person to the review board who is a member of a board of a health system agency. The Governor shall designate an attorney member of the Board to serve as Chairman. The Chairman of the Board shall designate a panel of five members to conduct a hearing, provided that each five-rnember panel must contain at least one attorney member of the Board who shall act as Chairman of the review panel. The mem bers of the Board shall be compensated at a reasonable amount set by the Governor for time spent considering such hearings. The decision of the five-member panel of the State Health Planning Review Board shall be the final agency decision for purposes of the Administrative Procedure Act. Except as herein provided, the hearing shall be con ducted in accordance with the provisions of the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'. Such party may also seek judicial review in accordance with Section 20 of the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'. Provided, however, that in conducting such review, the court may reverse or modify the decision if substantial rights of the appellant have been prejudiced because the administrative findings, inferences, conclusions or decisions are:
(1) In violation of constitutional or statutory provisions;
(2) In excess of the statutory authority of the agency;
(3) Made upon unlawful procedure; (4) Affected by other error of law; (5) Not supported by substantial evidence, which shall mean that the record does not contain such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support said findings, inferences, conclusions or decisions; (6) Arbitrary or capricious or characterized by abuse of discretion or clearly unwar ranted exercise of discretion. 88-3319. Forfeiture of Certificate of Need. The State agency may, based on rules
promulgated pursuant to this Code Chapter, deem a certificate of need to have been for
feited by the applicant for the following reasons: (a) for failure to incur the financial obligation for a capital expenditure as defined
in this Code Chapter within the prescribed time period; (b) after notice and a fair hearing on proof that a person who has been awarded a
certificate of need had intentionally provided false information or who, before comple tion of the project and operation of the facility, has transferred controlling ownership
or control in a facility without prior written approval of the State agency. Transfers
resulting from personal illness or other good cause, as determined by the State agency, may be exempt from this provision based on rules adopted by the State agency. Trans
fers resulting from death shall be exempt from this provision; or (c) for failure to commence construction within a reasonable period of time.
88-3320. Sanctions, (a) Any facility offering a new institutional health service with
out having obtained a certificate of need, which has not been previously licensed as a
health care facility, shall be denied a license to operate.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1979

1159

(b)(l) Any person who knowingly offers or develops any new institutional health ser vice within the meaning of this Code Chapter without ifirst having been issued a certif icate of need or in violation of the terms of such cert ificate of need, shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000.
(2) The director of the State agency, after a hear rig, shall determine whether or not any person has knowingly offered or developed any new institutional health ser vice within the meaning of this Code Chapter without first having been issued a certif icate of need or has knowingly offered or developed such service in violation of the terms of such certificate of need. The director may upon a proper finding impose such civil penalties as herein provided. Any person assessed shall be notified of the assess ment by registered or certified mail, and the notice shal' specify the reasons for the assessment.
(3) Any person so penalized under this Section is entitled to judicial review. In this connection, all hearings and proceedings for judicial review under this Section shall be in accordance with the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'. All penalties recovered under this Chapter shall be paid into the State Treasury to the credit of the general
fund. (4) If the person assessed fails to pay the amount of the i-'ssessment to the State
agency within 30 days after final termination of proceedings referred to in subsections (2) or (3) above, or within such longer period, not to exceed 180 days, as the State agency may specify, the agency may institute a civil action to recover the amount of the assessment. (c) For purposes of this Section, the State of Georgia, acting by and through the State Health Planning and Development Agency, shall have standing in any court 01 competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other proper parties, to maintain an action for injunctive or other appropriate relief to enforce the provisions of this Chapter. 88-3321. Exclusions, (a) The provisions of this Code Chapter shall not apply to:
(1) infirmaries operated by educational institutions for the sole and exclusive bene fit of students, faculty members, officers or employees thereof;
(2) infirmaries or facilities operated by businesses for the sole and exclusive bene fit of officers or employees thereof, provided that such infirmaries or facilities make no provision for overnight stay by persons receiving their services;

(b) The State agency shall establish, by regulation, procedures whereby requirements for the process of review and issuance of a certificate of need may be modified as a result of emergency situations.
88-3322. Intention of the General Assembly. It is the intent of the General Assem bly to assure that only those health care services found to be in the public interest shall
be offered in the State, and that a system of mandatory review of institutional health services be provided to promote the orderly and economical development of health facili
ties and services, and to assist in containing the rapid rise in the cost of health care to the residents of the State. The General Assembly also intends that this Code Chapter
be construed consistently with the provisions of Titles XV and XVI of the 'Public Health Service Act', as amended, (P.L. 93-641) and that a certificate of need program

1160

Any such application on appeal as of the effective date of this Act shall be remanded to the State agency for de novo review consistent with the considerations set forth herein at Section 88-3316 and for treatment under 'ne appeal procedures set forth herein at Section 88-3318.
Section i. 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 manlier 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.

(b) Surrender or termination of parental rights as provided in Code Section 74-403 shall not be required as a prerequisite to the filing of a petition for adoption pursuant to subsections (a)(3) or (a)(4) of Code Section 74-403 in the case of a parent who has failed significantly for a period of one year or longer immediately prior to the filing of the petition for adoption (1) to communicate, or to make a bona fide attempt to commu nicate with the child, or (2) to provide for the care and support of the child as required by law or judicial decree, and the court is of the opinion that the adoption is for the best interest of the child.
(c) Whenever it is alleged by the petitioner(s) that surrender or termination of parental rights is not a prerequisite to the filing of a petition for adoption in accordance
with provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the parent(s) shall be personally served with a confirmed copy of the adoption petition together with a copy of the court's order

Section 8. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking subsection (b) of Code Section 74-406 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) If the identify and location, or either, of the putative father of an illegitimate or legitimate child is not known and he has not executed a surrender as provided in Code Section 74-404(c), then:

The court shall be authorized to consider the affidavit of the mother specified in Code Section 74-404(c)(5) in making its determination hereunder. The court shall enter an order terminating the rights of the putative father if the court finds from the evidence that reasonable effort has been made to identify and locate him without success, and if it finds that he has not lived with the child, nor contributed to its support, nor made any attempt to legitimate such child, and that he did not provide support for the mother (including medical care) either during her pregnancy or during her hospitalization for the birth of the child. If the court finds from the evidence that reasonable effort has not been made to identify and locate the putative father, it shall direct the Department of Human Resources, or a licensed child-placing agency, to expend such additional effort as the court shall specify in the identification and location of the putative father and to report the results of such additional efforts to the court and shall continue the hearing until such additional effort has been expended and results reported. If the court shall find from the evi dence that the putative father either lived with the child, or contributed to its sup port, or attempted to legitimate said child, or provided support for the mother (including medical care) during her pregnancy or during her hospitalization for the birth of the child, then the court shall determine from the evidence whether such con duct by the putative father was sufficient to establish a familial bond between the putative father and the child. If the court shall find that such conduct was sufficient to establish such a familial bond, then the court shall enter an appropriate order designed to afford the putative father notice of the surrender, consent, or proceeding to terminate. The court shall not include the name of the mother in any public notice to the putative father if his name be known to the court. If the court shall find that such conduct was not sufficient to establish such a familial bond, then the court shall enter an order terminating the rights of the putative father.
(2) Where the rights of the parent(s) or the guardian(s) of the child have been sur rendered in accordance with provisions of Code Section 74-403(a)(2), (3), or (4), either the petitioner(s), the Department of Human Resources, or a licensed child-placing agency, shall file a motion with the court under the authority of this subsection and the court shall within twenty (20) days of such filing conduct a hearing in chambers to determine the facts in the matter. The court shall be authorized to consider the

affidavit of the mother specified in Code Section 74-404(c)(5) in making its determina tion hereunder. The court shall enter an order terminating the rights of the putative father if the court finds from the evidence that reasonable effort has been made to identify and locate him without success and if it finds that he has not lived with the child, nor contributed to its support, nor made any attempt to legitimate such child, and that he did not provide support for the mother (including medical care) either during her pregnancy or during her hospitalization for the birth of the child. If the court finds from the evidence that reasonable effort has not been made to identify and locate the putative father, it shall direct the petitioner(s), the Department of Human Resources, or a licensed child-placing agency, to expend such additional effort as the court shall specify in the identification and location of the putative father and to report the results of such additional efforts to the court and shall continue the hearing until such additional effort has been expended and results reported. If the court shall find from the evidence that the putative father either lived with the child, or contrib uted to its support, or attempted to legitimate said child, or provided support for the mother (including medical care) during her pregnancy or during her hospitalization for the birth of the child, then the court shall determine from the evidence whether such conduct by the putative father was sufficient to establish a familial bond between the putative father and the child. If the court shall find that such conduct was sufficient to establish such a familial bond, then the court shall enter an appropriate order designed to afford the putative father notice of the surrender, consent, or proceeding to terminate. The court shall not include the name of the mother in any public notice to the putative father if his name be known to the court. If the court shall find that such conduct was not sufficient to establish such a familial bond, then the court shall enter an order terminating the rights of the putative father."
Section 9. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 74-407 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) The petition, duly verified, together with one (1) conformed copy thereof, must be filed with the clerk of the superior court having jurisdiction and shall set forth the name, age, and place of the residence of the petitioner(s); the name by which the child is to be known should the adoption ultimately be completed; the date of birth and sex of the child; the date and circumstances of the placement of the child with petitioner(s); whether such child is possessed of any property and, if so, a full and complete descrip tion thereof; whether the child has one or both parents living; or whether the child has a guardian of its person.

(5) Where the adoption is pursuant to Code Section 74-403(a)(2), (3), or (4), copies of appropriate certificates verifying allegations contained in the petition as to guard ianship of the child sought to be adopted, the marriage of the petitioner(s), and the divorce or death of the parent(s) of the child sought to be adopted shall be attached when the petition is filed in support of the allegations contained therein.
(6) Where Code Section 74-405 is applicable, the parental rights need not be sur rendered or terminated prior to the filing of the petition but petitioner(s) shall allege facts demonstrating the applicability of Code Section 74-405 and allege compliance with the provisions of Code Section 74-405(c). If the petition is filed in a county other than that of the petitioners' residence, the reason therefor must also be set forth in the petition.

Section 10. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking from subsection (a) of Code Section 74-409 the following:

Section 7401, et seq., as amended); and that in all such cases, such excess levels in such counties are directly related to emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from responsible motor vehicles registered or licensed (as below) in coun ties wherein more than 200,000 motor vehicles are registered or licensed pursuant to or subject to the requirements of Ga. Laws 1927, pp. 226, et seq., as amended, or Ga. Laws 1955, pp. 659, et seq., as amended.
(2) In order to comply with federal health-related air standards, it is necessary to monitor and limit emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from responsible motor vehicles registered or licensed in counties wherein more than 200,000 motor vehicles are so registered.
(3) The USEPA has the duty, by law, to designate those areas of the State violating the NAAQS and has and will from time to time as facts dictate designate those areas then violating the NAAQS for photochemical oxidants (ozone) and carbon monoxide.
(4) With respect to such designations, when areas are designated to have ambient air levels of pollutants in excess of the NAAQS, the State is under a duty to provide a plan for reducing the ambient air levels of pollutants found to be in excess if the State is to maintain its authority to permit new or expanded industry in such areas.
(5) Failure of the State to provide a legally enforceable mechanism pursuant to State law for reducing such pollutants in such areas to levels within the NAAQS will result in such a mechanism subsequently being devised by USEPA and enforced in such areas pur suant to federal law, and could result in a significant loss of federal funds for sewage treat ment plants, transportation projects, and air quality improvement funds; further, no new or expanded industry which would contribute to the ambient air level of such pollutants could be permitted to construct or operate in any such area.

Section 8. Powers and Duties of the Board of Natural Resources. The Board of Natural Resources shall have the following powers and duties under this Act:
(1) The Board shall prescribe or specify by rule or regulation emission standards or emission limitations, limiting the amounts of allowable exhaust emissions and evaporative

1268

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from responsible motor vehicles as defined in this Act. Such standards may specify the amount of allowable emissions by part per million, percentage of total volume or weight of emissions, or such other method as the Board selects. In no event shall the emission limitations be stricter than those orig inally required by the USEPA pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, for the particular vehicle to which such limitations apply.
Such emission limitations and emission standards may distinguish between model years, engine types and sizes, trucks and passenger vehicles, or weights of vehicles and may be applicable to groups of vehicles classed according to any such distinctions. Such emis sion limitations shall be technically feasible. The Department may provide by rule or regu lation for the method of application of such standards to vehicles with engines of a model year different from the vehicle model year.
(2) To prescribe by rule or regulation equipment standards, requirements, or speci fications for any inspection equipment used to test, measure, inspect for, or determine compliance by a responsible motor vehicle or any responsible motor vehicle equipment with the standards, limitations, or other requirements established by or under the author ity of this Act.
(3) To prescribe by rule or regulation standards and qualifications for mechanic inspectors authorized to operate inspection equipment to inspect responsible motor vehi cles or responsible motor vehicle equipment for compliance with standards, limitations, or other requirements established by or pursuant to this Act.
(4) To prescribe by rule or regulation operating techniques, specifications, proce dures, requirements for records maintenance, criteria and other requirements applicable to emission inspection stations authorized to inspect responsible motor vehicles or responsible motor vehicle equipment for compliance with the standards, limitations, or other require ments established by or pursuant to this Act.
(5) To advise, consult, cooperate and contract with other State agencies, any political subdivision of the State, or any designated organizations of elected officials within the State, as necessary to implement and adequately enforce and insure compliance with any requirement, created, provided, prescribed, or established by the Board pursuant to this Act. With respect to the powers vested in the Board pursuant to this subsection, the Board may designate the Director of the Environmental Protection Division of the Depart ment of Natural Resources as its agent in exercising the powers so vested.
Section 9. Periodic Inspections and Maintenance Required. (1) Each responsible motor vehicle subject to any requirement under Section 7 must receive a certificate of emission inspection once during any twelve-month period during which Section 7 applies to such responsible motor vehicle from an emission inspection station holding a valid cer tificate of authorization from the Department of Public Safety. A certificate of emission inspection shall be issued for such a responsible motor vehicle if upon inspection by a per mitted mechanic inspector the mechanic inspector determines, consistent with the terms of Section 7 of this Act, with respect to such responsible motor vehicle:
(a) That any emission control equipment required on such responsible motor vehi cle when new by the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Section 1857, et seq., as amended, and 42 U.S.C. Section 7401, et seq., as amended) has been inspected to determine whether such equipment has been rendered unserviceable by removal, alter ation, or other interference with its operation; and
(b) That any emission control equipment required on such responsible motor vehi cle when new by the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Section 1857, et seq., and 42 U.S.C.

1269

limitation shall be determined by mechanic inspectors meeting qualifications, using methods, techniques, and equipment, under conditions, and following inspection procedures prescribed by the Board pursuant to this Act. (2) If the inspection discloses any violation of any applicable emission standard or emission limitation, then the owner shall be notified, in writing, of the air pollutant which exceeds the allowable emissions and the degree of excess. (3) The owner shall have necessary maintenance and repairs performed and return for reinspection at an emission inspection station within fifteen days unless he has obtained an interim certificate of emission inspection from an emission inspection station. The Department shall provide by rule or regulation for an interim certificate of emission inspection not to exceed forty-five days in duration in certain limited cases where an owner has demonstrated that the appropriate repairs cannot be made within the fifteenday period. (4) Upon reinspection a certificate of emission inspection shall be issued to each responsible motor vehicle which meets the requirements of subsection (1) of this Section. If a responsible motor vehicle fails to pass the reinspection, it shall be further maintained or repaired, and returned, within fifteen days (unless an interim certificate of inspection is obtained as provided in subsection (3) above), for a third inspection. If such motor vehi cle fails to meet the requirements of subsection (1) at the third inspection, no certificate of emission inspection shall be issued unless the owner proves, by means of repair facility receipts or other written documents that:
(i) He has spent at least fifty dollars ($50.00) in the repair and maintenance of the responsible motor vehicle exhaust and evaporative (as applicable) emission control systems and related equipment since the first inspection in the current twelve-month period of applicability of Section 7; and
(ii) He has replaced any emission control equipment or part thereof which has been removed, physically damaged, or otherwise rendered inoperable; and
(iii) Such repairs and maintenance have produced a decrease in exhaust and evaporative emissions (as applicable) since the first inspection in the current twelve month period of applicability of Section 7. (5) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (1) above, only the requirements contained in paragraphs (l)(a) and (l)(c) of such subsection shall be effective during any initial twelve-month period of applicability beginning on or after April 1, 1981, so that any responsible motor vehicle subject to any requirement under Section 7 of this Act during such initial twelve-month period of applicability may be issued a certificate of emission inspection, for such initial twelve-month period of applicability, upon a determination that the inspections required by paragraphs (l)(a) and (l)(c) have been performed. Upon issu ance of a certificate of inspection under the terms of this subsection, the responsible motor vehicle owner shall be notified of the results of such inspections and notified as to whether such motor vehicle would have complied with paragraphs (l)(b) and (l)(d) of this Section had they been applicable. (6) All the requirements of paragraphs (l)(a), (l)(b), (l)(c), (l)(d), (2), (3), and (4) above shall become effective upon termination of any initial twelve-month period of appli cability so that on and after termination of the initial twelve-month period of applicability any responsible motor vehicle subject to any requirement of Section 7 of this Act may be issued a certificate of inspection only in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs (l)(a), (l)(b), (l)(c), (l)(d), (2), (3) and (4). (7) "Initial twelve-month period of applicability" means, for a given county, the twelve-month period following April 1 of a given calendar year, or the twelve-month period following the date on which the requirements of Section 7 of this Act otherwise become applicable, when such county became subject to any requirement under Section 7 of this Act for the first time. Any county which has been subject to any requirement under this Act, again becoming subject to any requirement under this Act subsequent to an inter vening period during which such county was not subject to any requirement under this Act, shall be considered to be in an initial year of applicability upon again becoming sub ject to any requirement under this Act in such manner.
(8) A certificate of emission inspection shall be displayed on a vehicle which has
been inspected and has been approved as meeting the requirements of this Act and shall

1270

It is the intent of this General Assembly that the allocation of General Obligation Bonds proceeds for the purpose of financing a school construction program throughout the State of Georgia shall be determined on the basis of a formula to be promulgated by the State Board of Education, based on current increased average daily attendance, surveyed pro jected growth, consolidation, renovations, outstanding local effort of school systems, age and condition of existing school buildings, and such other criteria by the Board to insure that classroom need is the basis of distribution.
Provided, further, funds appropriated for Maintenance and Operation, Sick and Per sonal Leave and Instructional Media, for all Special Education Teachers, payments shall not be made until the allotted teaching unit has been filled.
Provided, that of the above appropriation for instructional aides, funds shall be allo cated on the basis of a half-time aide for each State-allotted first grade teacher and $50 for the training of each such aide; provided, further, that such funds shall be used to serve first grade students (or ungraded primary students composed of grades 1 through 3); pro vided, further, in extenuating circumstances, with prior approval of the State Superinten dent of Schools, such earnings may be used in grades 2 and 3.

Furthermore, the Section 5 teaching units so allocated to an eligible local unit shall remain a part of that local unit's allotment until the end of the current school year in which allocated. Further, it is the intent of this General Assembly that the Special Education teaching personnel (Section 5) utilized in providing educational programs for intellectually gifted students in eligible local units of administration during FY 1978 shall not be diminished in FY 1979, unless there is clear indication that the student need for such a program in an eligible local unit of administration has declined.

1496

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. The Georgia Retailers' and Consumers' Sales and Use Tax Act, approved February 20, 1951 (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 360), as amended, is hereby amended by striking in its entirety Section 26A and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 26A to read as fol lows:
"Section 26A. (a) Pursuant to the authority contained within Article IX, Section IV, Paragraph II of the Constitution, there is hereby created within this State 159 special districts. The geographical boundary of each county shall correspond with and shall be conterminous with the geographical boundary of one of the 159 special districts.
(b) When the imposition of a joint county and municipal sales and use tax shall be authorized according to the procedures hereinafter provided for in this Section within a special district, the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district and each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within the special district shall levy a joint sales and use tax at the rate of 1 '\ . Except as to rate, the joint tax shall correspond to the tax imposed and administered by the other Sections and provisions of this Act. No item or transaction which is not subject to taxation by the other Sections and provisions of this Act shall be subject to the tax levied pursuant to this Section, except that the joint tax herein provided for shall be applicable to sales of motor fuels as that term is defined by Code Section 92-1402.
(c) Effective April 1, 1979, the joint tax provided for in subsection (b) shall be levied in each special district in which prior to February 1, 1979, a referendum election had been conducted and the results thereof had authorized the levying of a 1' < local option sales and use tax by any municipality whose legal situs shall be located within the dis trict or, if prior to said date, a referendum election had authorized the levying of such a tax within the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district.
(1) However, such tax shall not be levied if, prior to said date, the State Revenue Commissioner shall have received from the governing authority or authorities of any such county or municipality a sufficient number of resolutions duly adopted by such governing authorities refusing to impose such tax and the combined population of all such political subdivisions represented by the governing authorities submitting such resolutions shall exceed one-half of the entire population of the special district. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the population of any such county shall not include that population of any qualified municipality. Each respective resolution shall certify as to the population of the particular political subdivision concerned as deter mined by the manner specified by the foregoing sentence and shall be computed based upon population figures contained within the official United States Decennial Census of 1970 or any such future census.
(2) If the imposition of the tax provided for in subsection (b) is to be levied pur suant to this subsection, the governing authority of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district and the governing authority of each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within such district shall each adopt a resolution prior to April 1, 1979, imposing the tax authorized by subsec tion (b) on behalf of the county and each qualified municipality located wholly or par tially within the special district. (d) Whenever the governing authority of any county or qualified municipality located wholly or partially within a special district in which no local option sales and use tax was imposed on February 1, 1979, or the authority to levy such a tax had not been gained through the approval of the question of such imposition in a referendum election prior to said date, or the authority to levy such a tax was refused pursuant to the proce dures contained within paragraph (1) of subsection (c) wishes to submit to the electors of the special district the question of whether the tax authorized by subsection (b) shall be imposed, any such governing authority shall notify the election superintendent of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district by forwarding to the superintendent a copy of a resolution of such governing authority call ing for such a referendum election. Upon receipt of such resolution, it shall be the duty

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979

1497

of such election superintendent to issue the call for an election for the purpose of sub mitting the question of the imposition of such tax to the voters of such special district for approval or rejection. The election superintendent shall set the date of such election for a day not less than 30 nor more than 45 days after the date of the issuance of the call. The election superintendent shall cause the date and purpose of the election to he published once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the date thereof in the offi cial organ of said county. The ballot shall have written or printed thereon the following:
YES Shall a retail sales and use tax of 1 '< be levied within the special district i^/-, within _________________ County?'
All persons desiring to vote in favor of levying such tax shall vote 'Yes,' and those persons opposed to levying such tax shall vote 'No.' If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are in favor of levying such tax, then such tax shall be levied in accordance with the provisions of this Section, otherwise such tax may not be levied, and the question of the imposition of such tax may not again be submitted to the voters of said special district within 24 months immediately following the month in which such election was held. It shall be the duty of the election superintendent to hold and con duct such election under the same rules and regulations as govern special elections. It shall be his further duty to canvass the returns and declare and certify the result of the election and to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State and to the State Reve nue Commissioner. The expense of any such election shall be borne by the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of such special district.
(e) If the imposition of the tax provided for in subsection (b) is approved in a refer endum election as provided by subsection (d) of this Section, the governing authority of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special dis trict and the governing authority of each qualified municipality located wholly or par tially within such district shall each adopt a resolution during the first 30 days following the certification of the results of such election imposing the tax authorized by subsection (b) on behalf of the county and each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within the special district. The resolution shall be effective on the first day of the next succeeding calendar quarter which begins more than 80 days after the adoption of such resolution. However, with respect to services which are regularly billed on a monthly basis, the resolution shall become effective with the first regular billing period coinciding with or following the effective date of the resolution as herein specified. A certified copy of such resolution shall be forwarded to the State Revenue Commissioner so that it will be received within five days after its adoption.
(f) The tax levied pursuant to this Section shall be exclusively administered and col lected by the State Revenue Commissioner for the use and benefit of each county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of a special district and each qualified municipality located wholly or partially therein. Such administration and collection shall be accomplished in the same manner and subject to the same applicable provisions, procedures and penalties provided in the other Sections of this Act: Provided, however, that all moneys collected from each taxpayer by the State Revenue Commissioner shall be first applied to such taxpayer's liability for taxes owed to the State of Georgia. Deal ers shall be allowed a percentage of the amount of the tax due and accounted for and shall be reimbursed in the form of a deduction in submitting, reporting and paying the amount due, if said amount is not delinquent at the time of payment. The rate of the deduction shall be at the same rate authorized for deductions from the State tax imposed by the other Sections of this Act.
(g) The proceeds of the tax collected by the State Revenue Commissioner in each special district under this Section shall be disbursed as soon as practicable after collec tion as follows:
(1) One percent of the amount collected shall be paid into the general fund of the State treasury in order to defray the costs of the administration.
(2) Except for the percentage provided for in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the remaining proceeds of the tax shall be distributed to the governing authority of each qualified municipality within the special district and to the governing authority of the

1498

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district for the purpose of assisting such political subdivisions in funding all or any portion of those services which are to be provided by such governing authorities pursuant to and in accordance with Article IX, Section IV, Paragraph II of the Constitution. It is the intent of the General Assembly that no initial agreement as to the distribution of the proceeds of the tax shall enrich any political subdivision beyond a sum which in the absence of the distribution would be raised through other sources of revenue. Such distribution shall be in accordance with the provisions of a certificate which shall be executed in behalf of each respective governing authority, except as hereinafter provided, and which shall encompass all such political subdivisions and which shall be filed with the State Revenue Commissioner and which shall specify by percentage that portion of the remaining proceeds of the tax available for distribution which each such political subdivision shall receive. Notwithstanding the fact that a certificate shall not contain an execution in behalf of one or more qualified municipalities within the spe cial district, if the combined total of the population of all such absent municipalities is less than one-half of the aggregate population of all qualified municipalities located within the special district, the submitting political subdivisions shall in behalf of such absent municipalities specify a percentage of that portion of the remaining proceeds which each such municipality shall receive, which percentage shall be no less than that proportion which each absent municipality's population bears to the total population of all qualified municipalities within the special district multiplied by that portion of the remaining proceeds which are received by all qualified municipalities within the special district. For the purpose of determining the population of those municipalities provided for in the preceding sentence, only that portion of the population of each such municipality which is located within the special district shall be computed. No certificate may contain specified percentages, the total of which exceeds 100'<. Such certificate shall be filed with the State Revenue Commissioner by June 1, 1979, for those special districts in which the tax authorized by this Section is being levied on April 1, 1979. For all other special districts in which such tax shall be imposed subse quent to April 1, 1979, the certificate shall be filed with the State Revenue Commis sioner within 60 days after the tax shall be imposed within the district. The Revenue Commissioner shall continue to distribute the proceeds of the tax as hereinbefore specified until the first day of the next calendar year following that month in which the State Revenue Commissioner shall receive a certificate as hereinbefore provided for which shall provide other percentages upon which the Revenue Commissioner shall make the distribution to the political subdivisions entitled to the proceeds of the tax, at which time the State Revenue Commissioner shall thereafter distribute the pro ceeds of the tax in accordance with the directions of such certificate. If the certificates hereinbefore provided for shall not be received by the Revenue Commissioner by the dates herein provided, the authority to impose the tax authorized by subsection (h) shall cease on the first day of the second calendar month subsequent to that month in which the tax was initially imposed and the tax shall not be levied in the special district after such date unless the reimpo-.ition of the tax shall be subsequently authorized pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d). When the imposition of the tax is terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, the State Revenue Commis sioner shall retain the proceeds of the tax which were to be distributed to the govern ing authorities of the county and qualified municipalities within the special district until he shall receive a certificate in behalf of each such governing authority specifying the percentage of such proceeds which each such governing authority shall receive. If no such certificate shall be received by the State Revenue Commissioner within 120 days of the date the authority to levy the tax was terminated, such proceeds shall escheat to the State and the State Revenue Commissioner shall transfer such proceeds to the State's general fund.
(h) As used within this Section, the term 'qualified municipality' shall mean only those incorporated municipalities which impose a tax other than the tax authorized by
this Section and which provide at least three of the following services:

(2) Sewage. (3) Garbage collection. (4) Police protection. (5) Fire protection. (6) Library. (i) (1) As a condition precedent for authority to levy the tax or collect any proceeds from the tax authorized by this Section for the year after the initial year in which it is levied and for all subsequent years, the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district and each qualified municipality therein receiving any proceeds of the tax shall adjust annually the mill rate for ad valorem taxation of tangible property within such political subdivisions as provided in this paragraph. Each governing authority of such political subdivisions shall compute the mill rate necessary to produce revenue from taxation of tangible property in each respective political subdivision which, when combined with other revenues reasonably expected to be received by the political subdivision during the year other than reve nues derived from the tax imposed pursuant to this Section, would provide revenues sufficient to defray the expenses of the political subdivision for the year. The mill rate so ascertained shall then be reduced by a mill rate which, if levied against the tangible property within the political subdivision, would produce an amount equal to the dis tribution of the proceeds of the tax imposed by this Section which were received by the political subdivision during the preceding year. The tax bill of each ad valorem taxpayer in the political subdivision shall show in a prominent manner the total mill rate first computed in this subparagraph and shall show such mill rate reduced by the mill rate computed as the mill rate required to raise an amount of revenue equal to the proceeds of the distribution of tax imposed by this Section during the previous year. The remainder shall be the mill rate upon which each taxpayer's bill shall be based. The taxing authority of each such political subdivision shall show in a promi nent manner on the tax bill of each ad valorem taxpayer the dollar amount of reduc tion of ad valorem property taxes which such taxpayer has received as a result of such political subdivision sharing in the proceeds of the tax authorized to be imposed by this Section. Provided, however, that the dollar amount of reduction of ad valorem property taxes shall not he calculated nor reflected on those forms used for the regis tration and taxation of motor vehicles or trailers. (2) The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed so as to require that a county or municipality prepare and mail ad valorem property tax bills when the ad valorem property tax mill rate in the county or municipality has been reduced to zero as a result of the receipt of proceeds from the tax levied pursuant to this Section, (j) The State Revenue Commissioner shall have the power and authority to promul gate such rules and regulations as shall be necessary in order that he might effectively and efficiently administer and enforce the collection of the tax authorized to be imposed by this Section. (k) Where a local sales or use tax has been paid with respect to tangible personal property by the purchaser thereof, either in another local taxing jurisdiction within the State or in a taxing jurisdiction outside the State where the purpose of the tax is similar in purpose and intent to the tax authorized to be imposed by this Section, said tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by this Section upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due as authorized to be imposed by this Section, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount so paid in the other taxing jurisdiction and the amount due as authorized to be imposed by this Section. The State Revenue Com missioner may require such proof of payment in another local taxing jurisdiction as is deemed to be necessary and proper.
(1) No tax shall be imposed upon the sale of tangible personal property which is
ordered by and delivered to the purchaser at a point outside the geographical area of
the special district in which the joint tax is imposed, regardless of the point at which
title passes, if such delivery is made by the seller's vehicle, United States mail, common
carrier or by private or contract carrier licensed by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion or the Georgia Public Service Commission.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(m) Each sales tax return remitting taxes collected under this Section shall sepa rately identify the location of each retail establishment at which establishment any of the taxes remitted were collected and shall specify the amount of sales and amount of taxes collected at each such establishment for the period concerned by the return so as to thereby facilitate determination by the State Revenue Commissioner that all taxes imposed by this Section are collected and distributed according to situs of sale.
(n) (1) As used in this subsection, 'building and construction materials' means all building and construction materials, supplies, fixtures or equipment, and any combina tion of such items, and any other leased or purchased articles when the materials, sup plies, fixtures, equipment or articles are to be utilized or consumed during construction, or which are incorporated into construction work, pursuant to a bona fide written construction contract.
(2) No tax shall be imposed by a county or municipality upon the sale or use of building and construction materials when the contract pursuant to which the materials are purchased or used was advertised for bid prior to approval of the levy of the tax by the county or municipality and the contract was entered into as a result of a bid actually submitted in response to such advertisement prior to approval of the levy of the tax. (o) Whenever the governing authority of any county or qualified municipality located wholly or partially within a special district in which the tax authorized by this Section is being levied wishes to submit to the electors of the special district the question of whether the tax authorized by subsection (b) shall be discontinued, any such governing authority shall notify the election superintendent of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district by forwarding to the superin tendent a copy of a resolution of such governing authority calling for such a referendum election. Upon receipt of such resolution, it shall be the duty of such election superin tendent to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting the question of discontinuing the levy of such tax to the voters of such special district for approval or rejection. The election superintendent shall set the date of such election for a day not less than 30 nor more than 45 days after the date of the issuance of the call. The elec tion superintendent shall cause the date and purpose of the election to be published once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the date thereof in the official organ of said county. The ballot shall have written or printed thereon the following:
'( ) YES Shall the l'< retail sales and use tax being levied within the special dis( ) NO trict within ____________________ County be terminated?'
All persons desiring to vote in favor of discontinuing such tax shall vote 'Yes,' and those persons opposed to discontinuing such tax shall vote 'No.' If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are in favor of discontinuing such tax, then such tax shall cease to be levied on the first day of the second calendar quarter following that month in which the Revenue Commissioner shall receive the certification of the results of the election, otherwise such tax shall be continued to be levied, and the question of the discontinuing of such tax may not again be submitted to the voters of said special district within 24 months immediately following the month in which such election was held. It shall be the duty of the election superintendent to hold and conduct such elec tion under the same rules and regulations as govern special elections. It shall be his fur ther duty to canvass the returns and declare and certify the result of the election and to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State and to the State Revenue Commis sioner. The expense of any such election shall be borne by the county whose geograph ical boundary is conterminous with that of such special district."
Section 2. Code Chapter 91A-46, relating to a local option sales and use tax, is hereby amended by striking said Code Chapter in its entirety and substituting in lieu
thereof the following: "CHAPTER 91A-46. JOINT COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL SALES AND USE TAX
9IA-4601. Pursuant to the authority contained within Article IX, Section IV, Para
graph II of the Constitution, there is hereby created within this State 159 special dis
tricts. The geographical boundary of each county shall correspond with and shall be
conterminous with the geographical boundary of one of the 159 special districts.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979

91A-4602. When the imposition of a joint county and municipal sales and use tax shall be authorized according to the procedures hereinafter provided for in this Chapter within a special district, the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district and each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within the special district shall levy a joint sales and use tax at the rate of l'< . Except as to rate, the joint tax shall correspond to the tax imposed and administered by Code Chapter 91A-45. No item or transaction which is not subject to taxation by Code Chap ter 91A-45 shall be subject to the tax levied pursuant to this Code Chapter, except that the joint tax herein provided for shall be applicable to sales of motor fuels as that term is defined by Code Section 91A-5002.
91A-4603. Effective January 1, 1980, the joint tax provided for in Code Section 91A-4602 shall be levied in each special district in which, prior to January 1, 1980, a joint county and municipal sales and use tax was levied pursuant to Section 26A of the Georgia Retailers' and Consumers' Sales and Use Tax Act, approved February 20, 1951 (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 360), as amended, or, if prior to said date, a referendum election had authorized the levying of such a tax within the special district.
91A-4604. If the imposition of the tax provided for in Code Section 91A-4602 is to be levied pursuant to Code Section 91A-4603, the governing authority of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district and the govern ing authority of each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within such dis trict shall each adopt a resolution on or prior to January 1, 1980, imposing the tax authorized by Code Section 91A-4602 on behalf of the county and each qualified munici pality located wholly or partially within the special district.
91A-4605. Whenever the governing authority of any county or qualified municipality located wholly or partially within a special district in which a joint county and munici pal sales and use tax was not imposed on January 1, 1980, wishes to submit to the elec tors of the special district the question of whether the tax authorized by Code Section 91A-4602 shall be imposed, any such governing authority shall notify the election super intendent of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district by forwarding to the superintendent a copy of a resolution of such gov erning authority calling for such a referendum election. Upon receipt of such resolution, it shall be the duty of such election superintendent to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting the question of the imposition of such tax to the voters of such special district for approval or rejection. The election superintendent shall set the date of such election for a day not less than 30 nor more than 45 days after the date of the issuance of the call. The election superintendent shall cause the date and purpose of the election to be published once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the date thereof in the official organ of said county. The ballot shall have written or printed thereon the following:
'( ) YES Shall a retail sales and use tax of l'< be levied within the special district
( ) NO within _________________ County?'
All persons desiring to vote in favor of levying such tax shall vote 'Yes,' and those persons opposed to levying such tax shall vote 'No.' If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are in favor of levying such tax, then such tax shall be levied in accordance with the provisions of this Code Chapter, otherwise such tax may not be levied, and the question of the imposition of such tax may not again be submitted to the voters of said special district within 24 months immediately following the month in which such election was held. It shall be the duty of the election superintendent to hold and conduct such election under the same rules and regulations as govern special elec tions. It shall be his further duty to canvass the returns and declare and certify the result of the election and to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State and to the State Revenue Commissioner. The expense of any such election shall be borne by the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of such special dis trict.
91A-4606. If the imposition of the tax provided for in Code Section 91A-4602 is approved in a referendum election as provided by Code Section 91A-4605, the governing

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
authority of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district and the governing authority of each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within such district shall each adopt a resolution during the first 30 days following the certification of the results of such election imposing the tax authorized by Code Section 91A-4602 on behalf of the county and each qualified municipality located wholly or partially within the special district. The resolution shall be effective on the first day of the next succeeding calendar quarter which begins more than 80 days after the adoption of such resolution. However, with respect to services which are regularly billed on a monthly basis, the resolution shall become effective with the first regular billing period coinciding with or following the effective date of the resolution as herein specified. A certified copy of such resolution shall be forwarded to the State Revenue Commissioner so that it will be received within five days after its adoption.
91A-4607. The tax levied pursuant to this Code Chapter shall be exclusively adminis tered and collected by the State Revenue Commissioner for the use and benefit of each county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of a special district and each qualified municipality located wholly or partially therein. Such administration and collection shall be accomplished in the same manner and subject to the same applicable provisions, procedures and penalties provided in Code Chapter 91A-45: Provided, how ever, that all moneys collected from each taxpayer by the State Revenue Commissioner shall be first applied to such taxpayer's liability for taxes owed to the State of Georgia. Dealers shall be allowed a percentage of the amount of the tax due and accounted for and shall be reimbursed in the form of a deduction in submitting, reporting and paying the amount due, if said amount is not delinquent at the time of payment. The rate of the deduction shall be at the same rate authorized for deductions from the State tax imposed by Code Chapter 91A-45.
91A-4608. The proceeds of the tax collected by the State Revenue Commissioner in each special district under this Code Chapter shall be disbursed as soon as practicable after collection as follows:
(1) One percent of the amount collected shall be paid into the general fund of the State treasury in order to defray the costs of the administration.
(2) Except for the percentage provided for in paragraph (1) of this Code Section, the remaining proceeds of the tax shall be distributed to the governing authority of each qualified municipality within the special district and to the governing authority of the county whose geographical boundary is conterminous with that of the special district,for the purpose of assisting such political subdivisions in funding all or any portion of those services which are to be provided by such governing authorities pur suant to and in accordance with Article IX, Section IV, Paragraph II of the Constitu tion. It is the intent of the General Assembly that no initial agreement as to the distribution of the proceeds of the tax shall enrich any political subdivision beyond a sum which in the absence of the distribution would be raised through other sources of revenue. Such distribution shall be in accordance with the provisions of a certificate which shall be executed in behalf of each respective governing authority, except as hereinafter provided, and which shall encompass all such political subdivisions and which shall be filed with the State Revenue Commissioner and which shall specify by percentage that portion of the remaining proceeds of the tax available for distribution which each such political subdivision shall receive. Notwithstanding the fact that a certificate shall not contain an execution in behalf of one or more qualified municipal ities within the special district, if the combined total of the population of all such absent municipalities is less than one-half of the aggregate population of all qualified municipalities located within the special district, the submitting political subdivisions shall in behalf of such absent municipalities specify a percentage of that portion of the remaining proceeds which each such municipality shall receive, which percentage shall be no less than that proportion which each absent municipality's population is of the total population of all qualified municipalities within the special district multi plied by that portion of the remaining proceeds which are received by all qualified municipalities within the special district. For the purpose of determining the popu lation of those municipalities provided for in the preceding sentence, only that portion

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979

1503

of the population of each such municipality which is located within the special district shall be computed. No certificate may contain specified percentages, the total of which exceeds 100 r < . Such certificate shall be filed with the State Revenue Commissioner by March 1, 1980, for those special districts in which the tax authorized by this Code Chapter is being levied on January 1, 1980. For all other special districts in which such tax shall be imposed subsequent to January 1, 1980, the certificate shall be filed with the State Revenue Commissioner within 60 days after the tax shall be imposed within the district. The Revenue Commissioner shall continue to distribute the pro ceeds of the tax as hereinbefore specified until the first day of the next calendar year following that month in which the State Revenue Commissioner shall receive a certifi cate as hereinbefore provided for which shall provide other percentages upon which the Revenue Commissioner shall make the distribution to the political subdivisions entitled to the proceeds of the tax, at which time the State Revenue Commissioner shall thereafter distribute the proceeds of the tax in accordance with the directions of such certificate. If the certificates hereinbefore provided for shall not be received by the Revenue Commissioner by the dates herein provided, the authority to impose the tax authorized by Code Section 91A-4602 shall cease on the first day of the second calendar month subsequent to that month in which the tax was initially imposed and the tax shall not be levied in the special district after such date unless the reimposition of the tax shall be subsequently authorized pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 91A-4605. When the imposition of the tax is terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, the State Revenue Commissioner shall retain the proceeds of the tax which were to be distributed to the governing authorities of the county and quali fied municipalities within the special district until he shall receive a certificate in behalf of each such governing authority specifying the percentage of such proceeds which each such governing authority shall receive. If no such certificate shall be received by the State Revenue Commissioner within 120 days of the date the author ity to levy the tax was terminated, such proceeds shall escheat to the State and the State Revenue Commissioner shall transfer such proceeds to the State's general fund. 91A-4609. As used within this Chapter, the term 'qualified municipality' shall mean only those incorporated municipalities which impose a tax other than the tax authorized by this Chapter and which provide at least three of the following services:
(1) Water.
(2) Sewage.
(3) Garbage collection.
(4) Police protection.
(5) Fire protection.
(6) Library.
91A-4610. (a) As a condition precedent for authority to levy the tax or collect any pro ceeds from the tax authorized by this Code Chapter for the year after the initial year in which it is levied and for all subsequent years, the county whose geographical bound ary is conterminous with that of the special district and each qualified municipality therein receiving any proceeds of the tax shall adjust annually the mill rate for ad valorem taxation of tangible property within such political subdivisions as provided in this subsection. Each governing authority of such political subdivisions shall compute the mill rate necessary to produce revenue from taxation of tangible property in each respective political subdivision which, when combined with other revenues reasonably expected to be received by the political subdivision during the year other than revenues derived from the tax imposed pursuant to this Code Chapter, would provide revenues sufficient to defray the expenses of the political subdivision for the year. The mill rate so ascertained shall then be reduced by a mill rate which, if levied against the tangible property within the political subdivision, would produce an amount equal to the distri bution of the proceeds of the tax imposed by this Code Chapter which were received by the political subdivision during the preceding year. The tax bill of each ad valorem taxpayer in the political subdivision shall show in a prominent manner the total mill rate first computed in this subparagraph and shall show such mill rate reduced by the mill rate computed as the mill rate required to raise an amount of revenue equal to the

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

proceeds of the distribution of tax imposed by this Code Chapter during the previous year. The remainder shall be the mill rate upon which each taxpayer's bill shall be based. The taxing authority of each such political subdivision shall show in a prominent manner on the tax bill of each ad valorem taxpayer the dollar amount of reduction of ad valorem property taxes which such taxpayer has received as a result of such political subdivision sharing in the proceeds of the tax authorized to be imposed by this Code Chapter. Provided, however, that the dollar amount of reduction of ad valorem property taxes shall not be calculated nor reflected on those forms used for the registration and taxation of motor vehicles or trailers.
(b) The provisions of this Code Section shall not be construed so as to require that a county or municipality prepare and mail ad valorem property tax bills when the ad valorem property tax mill rate in the county or municipality has been reduced to zero as a result of the receipt of proceeds from the tax levied pursuant to this Code Chapter.
91A-4611. The State Revenue Commissioner shall have the power and authority to promulgate such rules and regulations as shall be necessary in order that he might effec tively and efficiently administer and enforce the collection of the tax authorized to be imposed by this Code Chapter.
91A-4612. Where a local sales or use tax has been paid with respect to tangible per sonal property by the purchaser thereof, either in another local taxing jurisdiction within the State or in a taxing jurisdiction outside the State where the purpose of the tax is similar in purpose and intent to the tax authorized to be imposed by this Code Chapter, said tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by this Chapter upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due as authorized to be imposed by this Chapter, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount so paid in the other taxing juris diction and the amount due as authorized to be imposed by this Chapter. The State Revenue Commissioner may require such proof of payment in another local taxing juris diction as is deemed to be necessary and proper.
91A-4613. No tax shall be imposed upon the sale of tangible personal property which is ordered by and delivered to the purchaser at a point outside the geographical area of the special district in which the joint tax is imposed, regardless of the point at which title passes, if such delivery is made by the seller's vehicle, United States mail, common carrier or by private or contract carrier licensed by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion or the Georgia Public Service Commission.
91A-4614. Each sales tax return remitting taxes collected under this Code Chapter shall separately identify the location of each retail establishment at which establishment any of the taxes remitted were collected and shall specify the amount of sales and amount of taxes collected at each such establishment for the period concerned by the return so as to thereby facilitate determination by the State Revenue Commissioner that all taxes imposed by this Chapter are collected and distributed according to situs of sale.
91A-4615. (a) As used in this Code Section, 'building and construction materials' means all building and construction materials, supplies, fixtures or equipment, and any combination of such items, and any other leased or purchased articles when the mate rials, supplies, fixtures, equipment or articles are to be utilized or consumed during con struction, or which are incorporated into construction work, pursuant to a bona fide written construction contract.
(b) No tax shall be imposed by a county or municipality upon the sale or use of building and construction materials when the contract pursuant to which the materials are purchased or used was advertised for bid prior to approval of the levy of the tax by the county or municipality and the contract was entered into as a result of a bid actually submitted in response to such advertisement prior to approval of the levy of the tax.

located wholly or partially within a special district in which the tax authorized by this Code Chapter is being levied wishes to submit to the electors of the special district the question of whether the tax authorized by Code Section 91A-4602 shall be discontinued,
any such governing authority shall notify the election superintendent of the county

The election superintendent shall set the date of such election for a day not less than 30 nor more than 45 days after the date of the issuance of the call. The election superintendent shall cause the date and purpose of the election to be published once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the date thereof in the official organ of said county.

Section 3. Section 1 of this Act shall become effective immediately upon the approval of this Act by the Governor. Section 2 of this Act shall become effective on Janu ary 1, 1980, except that the provisions of Code Section 91A-4604 as they relate to the adoption of resolutions imposing a joint county and municipal tax shall become effective immediately upon the Governor approving this Act and such resolutions may be adopted prior to January 1, 1980, for the purposes of said Code Section.

Mr. Speaker

The following amendment was read:

Representative Johnson of the 74th moves to amend the Hatcher substitute to HB 281 as follows:

By striking in their entirety subsections (c) through (e), beginning on line 22 of page 2, which subsections read as follows:

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.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 2. Unreasonable restraint on the alienation of property; prohibited practices, (a) Subject to the limitations and exceptions as provided in this Act, any lender with a security interest in real estate shall not, directly or indirectly:
(1) Accelerate or mature the indebtedness secured by such real estate on account of the sale or transfer of such real estate or on account of the assumption of such indebtedness. This paragraph (1) shall not apply if the person to whom the real estate would be sold or transferred does not intend to occupy the property as the person's principal residence, if such occupancy is a requirement imposed by federal regulatory authorities upon the lender.
(2) Increase the interest rate above the existing interest rate of the indebtedness unless: (A) the borrower who is primarily liable for repayment of the indebtedness shall request in writing to the lender at the time of the making of the application to the lender for approval of the transfer or at any time prior to the granting or denying of approval of said transfer by lender that borrower desires to be relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby, and (B) the lender furnishes written evidence to said borrower that said borrower has been relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby. Upon submission of proper proof, the clerk of the superior court in the county where the security instrument is recorded shall enter a notation on the recorded security instrument to the effect that the borrower has been relieved of lia bility under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby. In the event the lender so relieves the borrower of liability after having been requested to do so by the borrower, the lender may increase the interest rate on the indebtedness; provided, however, lender shall not escalate interest in excess of one percent per annum above the existing interest rate at the time of the transfer nor shall lender be entitled to escalate the interest rate at any time other than transfer of title and then not more often than once in any twenty-four-month period. Any subsequent transfer of such property after twenty-four months from the time of the last escalation of interest shall likewise be limited to a one percent per annum increase above the inter est rate of the indebtedness existing at the time of such subsequent transfer.
(3) Charge, collect, or attempt to collect any fee on account of the sale or transfer of such real estate or on account of the assumption of such indebtedness in excess of (A) one-half of one percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness outstanding on the date of such transfer or $150.00, whichever amount is less, in the event the lender does not escalate the interest rate and does not relieve the borrower of liability for the repayment of the indebtedness, or (B) one percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness outstanding on the date of such transfer in the event the lender does not escalate the interest rate but does relieve the borrower of liability for the repay ment of the indebtedness, or (C) one-half of one percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness outstanding on the date of such transfer in the event the lender escalates the interest rate and relieves the borrower of liability for the repayment of the indebtedness.
(4) Enforce or attempt to enforce the provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust or other real estate security instrument executed on or after July 1, 1979, which provi sions are contrary to this Act.
(5) Withhold approval or disapproval of the sale or transfer of such real estate and the assumption of the indebtedness beyond forty-five days after receipt of the written application for same, otherwise the sale or transfer and the assumption shall be approved.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 88, known as the "Georgia Health Code," as amended, so as to provide for an ombudsman program within long-term care facilities; to provide for defini tions; to provide for legislative intent; to provide for a State ombudsman and for commu nity ombudsmen, their qualifications, powers, duties, and responsibilities; to provide investigative and entry authority and methods of exercise; to provide for resolution of complaints; to provide for confidentiality, to provide for reports; to provide for notice and revocation of permits; to prohibit retaliation; to provide for immunity from liability; to provide for rules and regulations; to provide for violations, penalties, and injunctions; 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. Code Title 88, known as the "Georgia Health Code," as amended, is hereby amended by adding a new Code Chapter to be designated Code Chapter 88-19A, to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 88-19A. OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM WITHIN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES. 88-1901A. Definitions. For the purposes of this Chapter, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, (a) 'Commissioner' means the Commissioner of the Department of Human Resources. (b) 'Department' means the Department of Human Resources. (c) 'Long-term care facility' means any skilled nursing home, intermediate care home, or personal care home now or hereafter subject to regulation and licensure by the Department. (d) 'Resident' means any person who is receiving treatment or care in any long-term care facility who seeks admission to such facility or who has been discharged or trans ferred from such facility. (e) 'State ombudsman' means the State ombudsman established under Section 88-1903A of this Chapter. (f) 'Community ombudsman' means a person certified as a community ombudsman pursuant to Section 88-1903A. 88-1902A. Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds that a significant number of older Georgians reside in long-term care facilities in this State and, because of their iso lated and vulnerable condition, they are more dependent on others for their protection and care. It is the intent of the General Assembly to nurture the quality of care and life for residents through the promotion of community involvement in long-term care facilities and by the establishment of a process to resolve complaints and problems of residents. It is the further intent of the General Assembly that the Department, within available resources and pursuant to its duties under the Older Americans Act, insure that the quality of care and life for such residents is maintained, that necessary reports are made and, where necessary, that corrective action is taken at the departmental level. 88-1903A. Long-term Care Ombudsman Program. Pursuant to the federally enacted and funded Older Americans Act of 1965 (P. L. 89-73, 79 Stat. 219), as amended, and as a condition of receiving funds under the Act for various programs for older citizens of this State, the Department has been required to establish and operate a long-term care ombudsman program. In order to receive such funds, the Department has already

1546

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

established a position of State ombudsman within the State Office of Aging. Such State ombudsman shall be under the direct supervision of the Commissioner, or his designee, and shall be given the powers and duties hereafter provided by this Chapter. The State ombudsman shall be a person qualified by training and experience in the field of aging or long-term care, or both. The State ombudsman shall promote the well-being and quality of life of residents in long-term care facilities and encourage the development of community ombudsman activities at the local level. The State ombudsman may certify community ombudsmen and such certified ombudsmen shall have the powers and duties set forth in Sections 88-1905A and 88-1906A. The State ombudsman shall require such community ombudsmen to receive appropriate training as determined and approved by the Department prior to certification. Such training shall include an internship in a long-term care facility. Upon certification, the State ombudsman shall issue an identifi cation card which shall be presented upon request by community ombudsmen whenever needed to carry out the purposes of this Chapter. Two years after first being certified and every two years thereafter, each such community ombudsman, in order to carry out his duties under this Chapter, shall be recertified by the State ombudsman as continuing to meet the Department's standards as community ombudsman.
88-1904A. Responsibilities of the State ombudsman, (a) The State ombudsman shall establish policies and procedures, subject to approval by the Commissioner, for receiving, investigating, referring, and attempting to resolve complaints made by or on behalf of residents of long-term care facilities concerning any act, omission to act, practice, policy, or procedure that may adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of any resident.
(b) The State ombudsman shall investigate and make reports and recommendations to the Department and other appropriate agencies concerning any act or failure to act by any government agency with respect to its responsibilities and duties in connection with long-term care or residents of long-term care facilities.

(d) The State ombudsman shall promote the development of community ombudsmen activities and provide technical assistance as necessary.
(e) The State ombudsman shall make an annual written report, documenting the types of complaints and problems reported by residents, to the Director of the State Office of Aging for his recommendations to the Commissioner concerning needed policy, regulatory, and legislative changes.
88-1905A. Responsibilities of the community ombudsmen. Pursuant to policies and procedures established by the State ombudsman, the community ombudsmen shall:
(a) Learn about the general conditions affecting residents of long-term care facilities and work for the best interest of these residents;
(b) Receive, investigate, and attempt to resolve complaints made by or on behalf of residents of long-term care facilities;
(c) Collect data about the number and types of complaints handled; (d) Report regularly to the State ombudsman about the data collected and the activ ities of the community ombudsmen. 88-1906A. Investigative and entry authority, (a) In response to complaints made by or on behalf of residents of long-term care facilities or on the ombudsman's initiative, the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen may conduct investigations in matters within their powers and duties provided by this Chapter.
(b) The State ombudsman or community ombudsmen shall have the authority to enter any long-term care facility using his best efforts to enter such facility during
normal visiting hours, but in no event will he enter the facility between the hours of 9:00 P.M. and 9:00 A.M. without good cause and twenty-four hours' prior notice to the
administrator or person in charge of the facility at the time the notice is given. Upon entering the long-term care facility, the ombudsman will notify the administrator or, in the absence of the administrator, the person in charge of the facility before speaking to
any residents. After notifying the administrator or the person in charge of the facility,

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979

1547

the ombudsman may communicate privately and confidentially with residents of the facility, individually or in groups. The ombudsman will have access to the patient records of any resident provided that the medical and personal financial records pertain ing to an individual resident may be inspected only with the permission of the resident or his legally appointed guardian, if any. The ombudsman shall have the authority to inspect the physical plant of the facility. Entry and investigation provided by this Section shall be conducted in a manner which will not significantly disrupt the provision of nursing or other care to residents.
(c) The State ombudsman or community ombudsman shall identify himself as such to the resident, and the resident shall have the right to communicate or refuse to com municate with the ombudsman.
(d) The resident shall have the right to participate in planning any course of action to be taken on his behalf by the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen, and the resident shall have the right to approve or disapprove any proposed action to be taken on his behalf by such ombudsmen.
(e) No person shall interfere with the duties and powers of the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen provided in this Chapter.
(f) The State ombudsman and community ombudsmen shall have authority to obtain from any government agency, and said agency shall provide, such cooperation and assis tance, services, data, and access to files and records as will enable the ombudsman prop erly to perform or exercise his duties and powers, provided such information is not privileged under any law.
(g) Where the subject of the investigation involves suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a resident by his guardian, the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen shall have the authority to communicate with the resident in a private and confidential setting notwithstanding any objection to such meeting and communication by the guardian.
88-1907A. Resolution of complaints, (a) Following an investigation, the State ombudsman or community ombudsman shall report his opinions or recommendations to the party or parties affected thereby and shall attempt to resolve the complaint, using, whenever possible, informal techniques of mediation, conciliation and persuasion. With respect to a complaint against the facility, the ombudsman will first notify the adminis trator of the long-term care facility in writing and give such administrator a reasonable opportunity to correct any alleged defect. If the administrator fails to take corrective action after a reasonable amount of time, the State ombudsman or community ombudsman may refer said complaint to an appropriate agency.
(b) Complaints or conditions adversely affecting residents of long-term care facilities which cannot be resolved in the manner described in Section 88-1907A (a) shall, when ever possible, be referred by the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen to an appropriate agency.
(c) The community ombudsman will not disclose to the public the identity of any long-term care facility which is the subject of an investigation, either directly or indi rectly, unless and until the matter has been reviewed by the office of the State ombudsman and the matter has been referred to an appropriate governmental agency for action.
88-1908A. Confidentiality. The identity of any complainant, resident on whose behalf a complaint is made, or individual providing information on behalf of the resident or complainant relevant to the investigation of a complaint shall be confidential. The iden tity of any such person may be disclosed only with his express permission. The informa tion produced by an investigation may be disclosed by the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen only if the identity of any such person is not disclosed by name or inference. If the identity of any such person is disclosed by name or inference in such information, then the information may be disclosed only with his express permission. If the complaint becomes the subject of a judicial proceeding, such investigative informa tion may be disclosed for the purpose of the proceeding.
88-1909A. Reporting of abuse. Any person who has reasonable cause to believe that a resident of a long-term care facility is being, or has been, abused, neglected, exploited,

1548

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

88-1910A. Notice to residents. The State ombudsman shall prepare and distribute to each long-term care facility in the State a written notice describing the Long-term Care Ombudsman Program and the procedure to follow in making a complaint, including the address and telephone number of the State ombudsman and community ombudsmen, if any. The administrator shall give the written notice required by this Section to each res ident and his legally appointed guardian, if any, upon admission. Within sixty days after the effective date of this Chapter, the administrator shall also post such written notice in conspicuous public places in the facility in accordance with procedures provided by the State ombudsman and shall give such notice to any resident and his legallyappointed guardian, if any, who did not receive it upon admission.

88-1911A. Retaliation prohibited. No person shall discriminate or retaliate in any manner against any resident, relative, or guardian of a resident; employee of a long-term care facility; or any other person because of the making of a complaint or providing of information in good faith to the State ombudsman or community ombudsmen.
88-1912A. Immunity.

88-1913A. Immunity from liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person providing information (including, but not limited to, patient records) to a com munity ombudsman or a State ombudsman shall be held, by reason of having provided such information, to have violated any criminal law or to be civilly liable under any law unless such information is false and the person providing such information knew or had reason to believe that such information was false.
88-1914A. Rules and regulations. The Department is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the Chapter.
88-1915A. Violations. The provisions of Code Section 88-801, relating to misdemean or penalties for violations of provisions of this Code Title, and Code Section 88-302, relating to enforcement by injunction of the provisions of this Code Title, shall apply fully to any violation of this Code Chapter."
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 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 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The expense of any on-the-premise examination shall be borne by the licensee, btrt shaH not exceed two hundred fifty ($250.00) dollars as provided in the case of examinations of insurers con ducted pursuant to Code Section 56-212.
Every licensee shall preserve its records of such premium finance transactions, includ ing cards used in a card system, for at least three years after making the final entry in respect to any premium finance agreement.

Mr. Speaker

On the passage of the Bill, the ayes were 144, nays 0. The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed.

Under the general order of business, established by the Committee on Rules, the fol lowing Bill of the House, having been removed from the Local Calendar earlier this day. was taken up for consideration and read the third time:

HB 494. By: Representative Bolster of the 30th: A BILL to create an Authority for each municipality of this State having a population of 400,000 or more according to the United States Decennial Census of 1970 or any future such census, to be known as an Urban Residential Finance Authority; to provide for a short title "Urban Residential Finance Authorities Act for Large Municipalities"; to pro vide for legislative findings and a declaration of public necessity; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To create an Authority for each municipality of this State having a population of 400,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census, to be known as an Urban Residential Finance Authority; to provide for a short title; to provide for legislative findings and a declaration of public necessity; to pro vide for definitions; to provide for the creation of the Authority; to provide for member ship to the board of the Authority; to provide for the powers and duties of the Authority; to provide for loans from the Authority; to provide for loans by the Authority to lending institutions for relending to eligible households seeking to purchase homes; to provide for the purchase of mortgages by the Authority; to provide for the investment of monies of the Authority; to provide certain criteria or considerations to govern the exercise of admin istrative discretion by the Authority, particularly in the purchase of loans from lending institutions and in determining the eligibility of persons and families to benefit from this Act; to authorize the Authority to pledge assets, funds and property of the Authority; to provide for reserve funds; to provide that bonds issued by the Authority shall not be gen eral obligations of the State; to provide the Authority shall not compete with the Georgia Residential Finance Authority; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; 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. Short Title. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Urban Res idential Finance Authorities Act for Large Municipalities."
Section 2. Legislative Findings and Declaration of Public Necessity. It is hereby found, determined and declared:
(a) That there exists within the large municipalities of the State a serious shortage of decent, safe and sanitary housing which a significant portion of the persons and families residing or desiring to reside in such municipalities can afford. This shortage is inimical to the safety, health and welfare of the residents of this State and the sound growth of its large municipalities. The cost of financing the ownership and rehabilitation of housing

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979
in such municipalities is a major factor affecting the ability of a person to obtain decent and safe housing therein. In order to remedy such housing shortages, it is necessary to implement a public program to reduce the cost of financing for the acquisition and reha bilitation of housing, in order to make the acquisition of housing feasible for all persons and families residing or desiring to reside in the large municipalities of the State.
(b) That it is necessary and essential that public corporations be created for such large municipalities of the State to directly, or indirectly through qualified lending insti tutions, make loans at rates below market to finance either the acquisition or rehabilita tion of residential housing and to acquire mortgages in order to encourage investment in and upgrade urban areas.
(c) That it is necessary and in the best interests of the State to provide loans at rates below market for the acquisition and rehabilitation of housing which will:
(1) provide for and promote the public health, safety and welfare in the large municipalities of the State;
(2) reduce unemployment and encourage the increase of industrial and commercial activities and economic development in said large municipalities;
(3) provide for the efficient and well-planned growth and development of said large municipalities, including the elimination and prevention of slum areas and blight, and the proper coordination of industrial facilities with public services, mass transportation facilities and residential development by providing an incentive for home ownership within the geographical limits of said large municipalities;
(4) assist persons and families in acquiring and owning decent, safe and sanitary housing within the geographic limits of said large municipalities which they can afford;
(5) promote the integration of families of varying economic means in said large municipalities; and
(6) preserve and increase the tax base of said large municipalities. (d) Accordingly, it is determined that it is a valid public purpose, as a matter of public health, safety, convenience and welfare, to assist in providing financing tor either the acquisition or rehabilitation of housing in the large municipalities of the State and the creation of public corporations and instrumentalities of the State is the most feasible method by which the State can accomplish the aforesaid public purposes.

A mortgage or security interest or participation therein shall not be acquired under this Act unless the rate of interest on such mortgage meets the rates of interest established by the Authority. The Authority shall establish such rates of interest taking into consideration all of the fol lowing:
(1) the cost to the Authority in obtaining funds; (2) allowances to be made to a lending institution as a service fee in acting as a servicing agent in the administration and collection of the mortgage; (3) administrative costs of the Authority; (4) allowances for any necessary reserves of the Authority; and (5) regulations of the Internal Revenue Service of the United States. (b) The Authority may purchase participations in mortgages or security interests and shall make such rules as will adequately secure the Authority and its bondholders with respect to the purchase of participations in mortgages or security interests. (c) If the Authority purchases a mortgage or a security interest or a participation therein from a lending institution, the lending institution may act as servicing agent for the Authority in the collection and administration of the mortgage or security interest, subject to the rules established by the Authority under this Act. (d) Subject to the rights of bondholders, the Authority shall by rule fix the amount of the fee to be paid a servicing agent in such amount as shall reasonably compensate the servicing agent for performing such services. The amount of such fee shall be deductible from any interest payable and collected under the mortgage or security interest. (e) The origination fees and servicing fees payable to a lending institution shall not exceed in rate the amount payable in connection with fees for origination and servicing of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration, as set by regulations of the Federal Housing Administration. (f) The Authority may make commitments to lending institutions to purchase a mortgage or security interest or participation therein prior to the date of its execution, and a mortgage which is made by a lending institution under a prior commitment from the Authority to purchase the mortgage or security interest or a participation therein shall satisfy the requirement to reinvest the proceeds from the sale as quickly as possible in mortgage loans for the benefit of eligible persons and families. The Authority shall estab lish such fees as are necessary to reimburse the Authority for the administrative costs incurred in connection with making commitments to purchase and in purchasing mort gages or security interests or participations therein. (g) The Authority shall require as a condition of purchase of any mortgage or secur ity interest from a lending institution that the lending institution represent and warrant to the Authority that: (1) the unpaid principal balance and the interest rate thereon have been accurately stated to the Authority and that the interest rate and all service charges in connection therewith are not usurious under the laws of the State; (2) the amount of the unpaid principal balance is legally and validly due and owing; (3) the lending institution has no notice of the existence of any counterclaim, offset or defense asserted by the mortgagor or his successor in interest; (4) necessary documents have been properly recorded in the county in which the real estate lies; (5) the mortgage or security interest constitutes a valid lien on the property described in the mortgage or security interest subject only to such matters which do not adversely affect to a material degree the use or value of the property; (6) the loan when made was lawful under the laws of the State or federal law, or both, whichever governed the making of the loan, and would be lawful on the date of purchase by the Authority if made by the lending institution on that date in the amount of the unpaid principal balance;

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979

1559

(7) the mortgagor is not now in default in the payment of any installment of prin cipal or interest, escrow funds, real property taxes or otherwise in the performance of his obligations under the mortgage or security interest and has not to the knowledge of the lending institution been in default in the performance of any such obligation for a period of longer than sixty days;
(8) the mortgage or security interest requires that the property described therein be covered by a valid and subsisting policy of insurance issued by a responsible insur ance company legally licensed and authorized to conduct and transact business in the State and providing fire and extended coverage to an amount not less than eighty per cent of the insurable value of the property or in the amount of the mortgage or secur ity interest, whichever the Authority may determine;
(9) that the insurance coverage referred to in paragraph (8) above is in full force and effect; and
(10) that, subject to the provisions of subsection (f) of this Section, monies received from the Authority will be utilized for loans to eligible households for the acquisition and rehabilitation of residential housing within the geographic boundaries of the municipality activating the Authority, certification by the lending institution to the effect that monies have been reloaned as set forth in this Act will be filed with the Authority pursuant to the rules of the Authority and will be available to the members of the public and to members of the General Assembly of the State, (h) Each lending institution shall be liable to the Authority for any damages suffered by the Authority by reason of the untruth of any representation or the breach of any war ranty and, in the event that any representation shall prove to be untrue when made, or in the event of any breach of warranty, the lending institution shall, at the option of the Authority, repurchase the mortgage or security interest or participation for the original purchase price adjusted for amounts subsequently paid thereon, as the Authority may determine. (i) The Authority may require the recording of an assignment of any mortgage pur chased by it from a lending institution.
