JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL
To amend Code Chapter 4-2, relating to relations between principal and agent, as amended, so as to provide that certain powers of attorney are not automatically revoked or terminated by the death, disability, or incompetence of the principal; to specify when certain powers of attorney are not affected by disability of the principal; to provide conditions and limitations; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for severability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 4-2, relating to relations between principal and agent, as amended, is hereby amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 4-214, relating to revocation of agency, and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 4-214, to read as follows:
"4-214. Revocation of agency; pledge of certificate of stock; effect of death, disability, or incompetence of principal on written power of attorney. {1} (a) Generally, an agency is revocable at the will of the principal. The appointment of a new agent for the performance of the same act, or the death of either principal or agent, revokes the power. If, however, the power is coupled with an interest in the agent himself, it is not revocable at will; and in all cases the agent may recover from the principal, for an unreasonable revocation, any damages he may have suffered by reason thereof.
{2} (b) But every creditor or other person advancing money upon the pledge of a certificate of stock, or other scrip representing an ownership or interest in corporations in Georgia, shall have such an irrevocable interest in such certificate of stock or other scrip as not to be affected by the death, insanity, or legal disability thereafter of the person in whose name such stock or other scrip stands upon the books of any corporation in Georgia; but such pledgee or holder of such stock or scrip assigned in blank, coupled with the power of attorney, shall have the same right after the death, insanity, or legal disability of the person in whose name said stock stands upon the books of said corporation, as before the death, insanity, or legal disability of such person.

(c) (1) The death, disability, or incompetence of any principal who has executed a power of attorney in writing other than a power as described by Code Section 4-214.1, does not revoke or terminate the agency to the attorney in fact, agent or other person who, without actual knowledge er actual notice of the death, disability, or incompetence of the principal, shall have acted er shall set acts, in good faith, under or in reliance upon such power of attorney or agency^ and any Any action so taken, unless otherwise invalid or unenforceable, shall be binding en binds the principal and his heirs, devisees, legatees, er and personal representatives ef the principal.

{3} (3) No report or listing, either official or otherwise, of 'missing' or 'missing in action' as such words are used in military parlance, shall constitute or be interpreted as constituting actual knowledge or actual notice of the death of such principal or notice of any facts indicating the same, or shall operate to revoke the agency.
{8} (4) This act subsection shall not be construed so as to alter or affect any provisions for revocation or termination contained in such the power of attorney otherwise than as necessary to protect agents and other persons relying on the existence of the power who act without notice of its termination or revocation.

Section 2. Said Code Title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 4-214.1, relating to termination of certain powers of attorney by incompetency of the principal, and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 4-214.1, to read as follows:
"4-214.1. When power of attorney not affected by disability. A written power of attorney, unless expressly providing otherwise, shall not be terminated by the incompetency of the principal. The power te act as an attorncy-in-fact for a principal who oubsc tjucntly uccomcs incompetent snail remain tn lorcc until aucn time as a guardian of receiver shall be appointed fer- the principal er until some other judicial proceeding shall terminate the power. Whenever a principal designates another his attorney in fact or agent by a power of attorney in writing and the writing contains the words 'This power of attorney shall become effective upon the disability of the principal,' or similar words showing the intent of the principal that the authority conferred shall be exercisable notwithstanding his disability, the authority of the attorney in fact or agent is exercisable by him as provided in the power on behalf of the principal notwithstanding later disability or incapacity of the principal at law or later uncertainty as to whether the principal is dead or alive. All acts done by the attorney in^ fact or^ agent pursuant to_ the power during any period of disability or incompetence or uncertainty as to whether the principal is dead or alive have the same effect and inure tp^ the benefit of and bind the principal or his heirs, devisees and personal representative as if the principal were alive, competent and not disabled. If a guardian of the estate thereafter is appointed for the principal, the attorney in fact or agent, during the continuance of the appointment, shall account to the guardian of the estate rather than the principal. The guardian of the estate has the same power the principal would have had if he were not disabled or incompetent to revoke, suspend, or terminate all or any part of the power of attorney or agency."
Section 3. 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 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Mr. Speaker

On the adoption of the Resolution, the ayes were 119, nays 0. The Resolution, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was adopted.

Due to mechanical failure, the vote of Representative Vaughn of the 57th was not recorded.

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

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

HB 95. By: Representatives Collins of the 144th, Burruss of the 21st, Castleberry of the lllth, Carrell of the 75th, Lane of the 81st, Vaughn of the 57th, Veazey of the 146th, and others: A BILL to provide, from State appropriations, funds as grants to local public school systems for educational purposes; to provide that, as a condition upon receipt of grant funds, a local public school system must utilize such funds for educational purposes so as to permit a credit to be placed on the ad valorem school tax bill of taxpayers in the district; and for other purposes.

The following Bill of the House was taken up for the purpose of considering the Senate's insistence on its position in substituting the same:

HB 95. By: Representatives Collins of the 144th, Burruss of the 21st, Castleberry of the lllth, Carrell of the 75th, Lane of the 81st, Vaughn of the 57th, Veazey of the 146th, and others: A BILL to provide, from State appropriations, funds as grants to local public school systems for educational purposes; to provide that, as a condition upon receipt of grant funds, a local public school system must utilize such funds for educational purposes so as to permit a credit to be placed on the ad valorem school tax bill of taxpayers in the district; and for other purposes.

Representative Burruss of the 21st moved that the House insist on its position in disagreeing to the Senate substitute to HB 95 and that the Speaker appoint a Committee of Conference on the part of the House to confer with a like committee on the part of the Senate.

THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1979

1623

The motion prevailed.

The Speaker appointed as a Committee of Conference on the part of the House the following members:
Representatives Castleberry of the lllth, Burruss of the 21st, and Carrell of the 75th.

Under the general order of business, established by the Committee on Rules, the following Bills of the House were taken up for consideration and read the third time:

HB 774. By: Representative Knight of the 67th: A BILL to amend an Act known as the "Georgia Medical Assistance Act of 1977" so as to define the term "third party"; to provide for a time limitation on the resubmission of claims for medical assistance previously rejected by the Department; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend an Act known as the "Georgia Medical Assistance Act of 1977," approved March 16, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 384), as amended by an Act approved April 3, 1978 (Ga. Laws 1978, p. 1520), so as to define the term "third party"; to provide that the receipt of medical assistance by an eligible person shall operate as an assignment to the Department of any right of such person for payment from a third party for such medical care; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the "Georgia Medical Assistance Act of 1977," approved March 16, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 384), as amended by an Act approved April 3, 1978 (Ga. Laws 1978, p. 1520), is hereby amended by adding a new subsection at the end of Section 3 thereof, to be designated subsection (i), to read as follows:
"(i) 'Third party' means an individual, institution, corporation, or public or private agency, other than the Department, that is legally liable to pay all or any part of the medical costs incurred by a recipient of medical assistance on account of any sickness, injury, disease, or disability to such a recipient."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by adding a new subsection at the end of Section 9A thereof, to be designated subsection (d), to read as follows:
"(d) A recipient of medical assistance who receives medical care for which the Department may be obligated to pay shall be deemed to have made assignment to the Department of any rights of such person to any payments for such medical care from a third party, up to the amount of medical assistance actually paid by the Department: Provided, however, assignment does not attach to a recipient's right to any payments provided under private health care coverage prior to the receipt of written notice by the carrier, who issued the health care coverage, of the exercise by the Department of its assignment. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to a recipient only if notice of the provisions of this subsection are given to the recipient at the time his application for medical assistance is filed. The assignment created by this subsection shall be effective until the recipient of medical assistance is no longer an eligible recipient for medical assistance."
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.

(2) to subpoena witnesses and to punish witnesses for nonattendance; (3) to try all offenses occurring within the territorial limits of the City of White, including traffic cases which under the laws of Georgia are now or hereafter placed within the jurisdiction of municipal or police courts to the extent of and in accordance with the provisions of such laws and all laws subsequently enacted amendatory thereof; (4) to establish bail and recognizances to insure the presence of those charged with violations and to prescribe the conditions of forfeiture of the same; and (5) to administer oaths and to perform all other acts necessary and proper to the conduct of said court. (c) Said court shall be convened at such times as designated by ordinance or at such times as deemed necessary to keep current the dockets thereof. The court shall sit at a place designated by the mayor and council. (d) The mayor or mayor pro tern shall serve as judge of the mayor's court and shall preside over the court. Should the mayor or mayor pro tem fail to serve, then the mayor and aldermen shall select a person qualified and licensed to practice law in the State of Georgia to serve as judge of the mayor's court and to preside over the same during the term of office for which the mayor and aldermen were elected. In every Section of this charter where a judicial function is conferred upon the mayor or mayor pro tem as presiding officer over the mayor's court, the same shall be interpreted so as to include any person selected by the mayor and aldermen to serve as judge of the mayor's court.

(f) Except as may be herein otherwise specified, the presiding officer is vested with all of the jurisdiction and powers as to the entire area within the corporate limits of the City of White.

(g) The right of appeal to the Superior Court of Bartow County from the mayor's court shall lie in the same manner and under the same procedure as generally prescribed for appeals from the probate court. An appeal to the superior court shall be a de novo proceeding. (h) With the approval of the city council, the judge of the court shall have full power and authority to make reasonable rules and regulations necessary and proper to secure the efficient and successful administration of the business of said court; provided, however, that the mayor and council may adopt in part or in toto the rules and regulations relative to the procedures for the operation of the superior courts under the general laws of the State of Georgia."

(c) Teachers who are actively employed on July 1, 1979, by an employer having a local retirement fund, may elect to transfer from membership in the local retirement fund to membership in the Teachers' Retirement System effective July 1, 1979. Such election must be made before July 1, 1979, in a manner prescribed by the Board of Trustees. All such teachers who transfer their membership to the Teachers' Retirement System as provided herein shall receive creditable service under the Teachers' Retirement System equivalent to the creditable service such teachers had under the local retirement fund as of the date all payments are made as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this subsection; provided, however, that no creditable service shall be granted for service which would not otherwise be allowable under the provisions of the Teachers' Retirement System Act. The Board of Trustees shall cause the records of such transferred teachers, after verification in the manner prescribed by the Board, to reflect such creditable service.
(d) For each teacher becoming a member of the Teachers' Retirement System pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection, the fiscal authority or other governing body, by whatever name designated, of the local retirement fund shall be empowered and shall have the duty to pay to the Board of Trustees the amount of contributions paid by such teacher to the local retirement fund, credited to each such teacher under the local retirement fund, together with applicable accrued regular interest (as determined by the Board of Trustees) to the date of payment.

Such payment shall and must be made to the Board of Trustees by not later than October 1, 1979, or by the date of retirement of any teachers who retire prior to October 1, 1979, whichever is earlier.
(e) Each teacher becoming a member of the Teachers' Retirement System pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall pay to the Board of Trustees the amount of contributions which would have been paid by the teacher to the Teachers' Retirement System had the teacher been a member of the Teachers' Retirement System during the period of creditable service established pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection, plus the applicable accrued regular interest (as determined by the Board of Trustees) which would have accumulated on such contributions, less the amount paid on behalf of each such teacher pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subsection.

B = Unfunded accrued liability, determined as of June 30, 1979, of those teachers who transfer to the Teachers' Retirement System pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection, determined on the basis of the same methods and assumptions used in preparing the regular annual actuarial evaluation as if those teachers who transfer had been members of the Teachers' Retirement System on June 30, 1979, less the payments made pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this subsection. C = Unfunded accrued liability, determined as of June 30, 1979, of the Teachers' Retirement System, determined without regard to any teacher in the

In addition to the installments of the amount determined under paragraph (f), annual interest shall be added to each payment computed on the unpaid balance of the amount determined under paragraph (f) at a rate equal to the average rate of return on fixed income investments made by the Teachers' Retirement System during the preceding calendar year. By May 1 of each year, the Board of Trustees shall notify the fiscal authority or other governing body, by whatever name designated, of the local retirement fund or the independent school system, or both, or their successors in interest, as to the amount due by the following June 30.

(i) Should the fiscal authority or other governing body, by whatever name designated, of the local retirement fund or the independent school system, or both, or their successors in interest, refuse or fail to make any payment required by this subsection, it shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees to notify the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Board of Education of such refusal or failure, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Board of Education to withhold from such fiscal authority or other governing body any State appropriations or any other funds which would be allocated or allocable for educational purposes to such fiscal authority or other governing body until the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Board of Education receives authorization from the Board of Trustees to release such funds. The Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Board of Education are hereby authorized and directed, upon certified request of the Board of Trustees, to remit to the Board of Trustees from such withheld funds the amount necessary to cover the amount which the fiscal authority or other governing body has refused or failed to pay to the Board of Trustees under the provisions of this subsection. It shall be illegal for the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Board of Education to pay out or release such funds, after notice from the Board of Trustees, until and unless compliance with the provisions of this subsection is achieved. The Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the State Board of Education are authorized to release the remainder of all such withheld funds upon authorization from the Board of Trustees.
(j) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this subsection to the contrary, should the fiscal authority or other governing body, by whatever name designated, of the local retirement fund or the independent school system, or both, or their successors in

(k) The fiscal authority or other governing body, by whatever name designated, of the local retirement fund or the independent school system, or both, or their successors in interest, shall make such certifications as are requested by the Board of Trustees to implement and effectuate the provisions of this subsection."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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

HB 108. By: Representatives Lambert of the 112th and Hatcher of the 131st: A BILL to amend an Act known as the "Development Authorities Law" so as to include in the definition of the word "project" the acquisition, construction, leasing, financing or equipping of office buildings; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend an Act known as the "Development Authorities Law," approved March 28, 1969 (Ga. Laws 1969, p. 137), as amended, so as to include in the definition of the word "project" the acquisition, construction, leasing, or financing of office buildings; to provide for taxation of property held or acquired in connection with such projects; to provide legislative intent; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the "Development Authorities Law," approved March 28, 1969 (Ga. Laws 1969, p. 137), as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of subsection (e) of Section 1 the following:
"(10) The word 'project' shall also mean and include the acquisition, construction, leasing, or financing of (i) an office building facility and related real and personal property for use by any business enterprise which will further the development of trade, commerce, industry, or employment opportunities in the State of Georgia and which will be adjacent to or used in conjunction with any other existing or proposed project now or hereafter defined in this subsection (e) (which existing or proposed project shall be located within the area of operation of the Authority and which is used or intended to be used by such business enterprise), or (ii) a separate office building facility and related real and personal property for use by any business enterprise which will further the development of trade, commerce, industry, or employment opportunities in the State of Georgia. No such office building facility as herein defined shall be undertaken by an Authority unless the Authority shall have determined that the business enterprise to use such facility will be the primary tenant."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by inserting in Section 10 thereof, after the words:
"or leased by it to others", the following:
"(other than property leased for the purposes of a 'project' defined in Section l(e)(10) which shall be taxable by the State and its counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, and taxing districts)", so that when so amended Section 10 shall read as follows:
"Section 10. This Act is passed pursuant to authority granted the General Assembly by amendment to the Constitution of the State of Georgia (Ga. Laws 1968, pp. 1606-1608), duly ratified and proclaimed. Each Authority hereby created is created for nonprofit and public purposes, and it is hereby found, determined and declared that the creation of each such Authority and the carrying out of its corporate purposes is in all respects for the benefit of the people of the State, that the Authority is an institution of purely public charity and will be performing an essential governmental function in the exercise of the power conferred upon it by this Act and for such reasons, the State covenants with the holders from time to time of the bonds issued hereunder that such Authority shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments imposed by the State or any of its counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions or taxing districts upon any

THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1979

property acquired by the Authority or under its jurisdiction, control, possession or supervision or leased by it to others (other than property leased for the purposes of a 'project' defined in Section l(e)(10) which shall be taxable by the State and its counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, and taxing districts), or upon its activities in the operation or maintenance of any such property or on any income derived by the Authority in the form of fees, recording fees, rentals, charges, purchase price, installments or otherwise, and that the bonds of such Authority, their transfer and the income therefrom shall at all times be exempt from taxation within the State. The tax exemption herein provided shall not include any exemption from sales and use tax on property purchased by the Authority or for use by the Authority."
Section 3. If any provision of Section 1 or 2 of this Act is held to be invalid or inoperative for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Act shall be deemed to be void and of no effect, it being the legislative intent that this Act as a whole would not have been adopted had any provision of Section 1 or 2 not been included.
Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the Statewide Probation Act, approved February 8, 1956 (Ga. Laws 1956, p. 27), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 28, 1972 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 604), is hereby amended by striking Section 8 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 8 to read as follows:
"Section 8. (a) Any court of this State which has original jurisdiction of criminal actions, except juvenile courts, municipal courts and probate courts where the defendant in a criminal case has been found guilty upon verdict or plea, or who has been sentenced upon a plea of nolo contendere, except for an offense punishable by death or life imprisonment, may, at a time to be determined by the court, hear and determine the question of the probation of such defendant.
(b) Prior to such hearing, the court may refer the case to the circuit probation supervisor of the circuit in which such court is located for investigation and recommendation. The court, upon such reference, shall direct the supervisor to make an investigation and report to the court in writing at a specified time upon the circumstances of the offense and the criminal record, social history and present condition of the defendant, together with such supervisor's recommendation, and it shall be the duty of the supervisor to carry out the directive of the court.
(c) If it appears to court upon a hearing of the matter that the defendant is not likely to engage in a criminal course of conduct and that the ends of justice and the welfare of society do not require that the defendant shall presently suffer the penalty imposed by law, the court in its discretion shall impose sentence upon such defendant but may stay and suspend the execution of such sentence or any portion thereof, ad or may place him upon probation under the supervision and control of the circuit probation supervisor for the duration of such probation. The period of probation shall not exceed the maximum sentence of confinement which could be imposed upon such defendant; except as provided in subsection (d).
(d) (1) except that i In a prosecution for and conviction of the offense of abandonment, the trial court may suspend the service of the sentence imposed in the case upon such terms and conditions as it may prescribe for the support by the defendant of the child or children abandoned, respectively, during the minority of such child or children, respectively, and service of such sentence when so suspended shall not begin unless and until ordered by the court having jurisdiction thereof, after a hearing as in cases of revocation of probated sentences, because of the failure or refusal of the defendant to comply with the terms and conditions upon which service of such sentences was suspended;. ad a prosecution for and conviction e the offcnso of bastsroV) service of the scntence imposed msy iiKcwisc i&e suspended ttpon &tiCfl" be?iws and conditions as may be prescribed by the court for- the support by the defendant
based, until said child er children, respectively, reach the age ef-14 ycara. (2) Service of any sentence so suspended in abandonment cases may be ordered by
the court having jurisdiction thereof at any time before such child or children, respectively, reach the age of 31 ycara, ad HI bastardy cases at any time before siiefe child er children, respectively, reach the age ef 14 years majority, after a hearing as hereinbefore provided and a finding by such court that the defendant has failed or refused to comply with the terms and conditions upon which service of such sentence was suspended by the court having jurisdiction thereof.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the terms and conditions prescribed by the court as to support by the defendant shall be subject to review and modification by the court upon notice and hearing to the defendant as to^

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the ability of the defendant to furnish support and as to the adequacy of the present support payments to the child's or children's needs. The aforementioned review as to the ability of the defendant to furnish sup jort and as to the ade support pi ayments to the child's or children's needs shall not be had m less than twoyear intervals and shall authorize the court to increase as well as decrease the amount of child support to be paid as a term and condition of the sentence so suspended, and such review as to ability to support and adequacy of support shall not be equivalent to a hearing held in cases of revocation of probated sentences for purposes of service of the suspended sentence; nor shall such modification, if any, be deemed a change in sentence; nor shall such modification, if any, be deemed to change the suspended sentence to a probated sentence. (e) The court may, in its discretion, require the payment of a fine or costs or both as a condition precedent to probation. (f) During the interval between the conviction or plea and the hearing to determine the question of probation, the court may, in its discretion, either order the confinement of the defendant without bond or may permit his release on bond, which shall be conditioned on his appearance at the hearing and which shall be subject to the same rules as govern appearance bonds. Any time served in confinement shall be considered a part of the sentence of the defendant. (g) The sentencing judge shall not lose jurisdiction over any person placed on probation during the term of said probated sentence, and such judge is hereby empowered to revoke any or all of said probated sentence, rescind any or all of said sentence, or in any manner deemed advisable by said judge to modify or change said probated sentence at any time during the period of time originally described for the probated sentence to run."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following substitute, offered by Representative Knight of the 67th, was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Code Chapter 93-5, relating to hearings before the Georgia Public Service Commission, as amended, so as to provide that the Georgia Public Service Commission, as well as its employees and agents, may take depositions and obtain discovery; to provide procedures for obtaining discovery; to provide sanctions; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 93-5, relating to hearings before the Georgia Public Service Commission, as amended, is hereby amended by striking Code Section 93-508, relating to the deposition of witnesses, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 93-508, to read as follows:
"93-508. Discovery rights of the Georgia Public Service Commission. The Public Service Commission, as well as its employees and agents, in addition to its now existing authority to do so, is hereby authorized to take depositions and otherwise obtain discovery of any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in any investigation, proceeding, or petition before the Public Service Commission in the same manner prescribed by law for discovery in civil actions in the superior tourts of this State. The Georgia Public Service Commission, as well as its agents and employees, is hereby authorized to petition the Superior Court of Fulton County, and the judges and clerks thereof are hereby authorized to issue all orders, injunctions, subpoenas, and to take all actions necessary to carry out the provisions of this Code Section which would otherwise be authorized or necessary under Ga.

No such extension of the period of suspension shall be considered by the court unless the utility has failed completely to respond to a valid deposition or discovery request. Any application or petition made by the Public Service Commission, its agents, or employees, pursuant to this Code Section shall be heard within twenty days of the filing of the application or petition, irrespective of whether any response to the application or petition has previously been made, and shall be disposed of promptly."

By adding two new Sections to be designated Sections 1 and 2 and to read as follows: "Section 1. Code Chapter 56-13, relating to fees and taxes imposed upon insurance companies, as amended, is hereby amended by striking subsection (3) of Code Section 56-1310 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (3) to read as follows:
'(3) Life insurance companies may? after January IT 1966, deduct from premium taxes otherwise payable to this State under Section 56-1303, in addition to all credits and abatements allowed by law, the license fees and taxes imposed pursuant to this Section and paid during the preceding calendar year to any municipal corporation

The proceeds from all license fees and taxes collected within a special services area shall be expended for the purpose of providing governmental services solely for the benefit and general welfare of the inhabitants of such special services area. In the event the corporate boundaries of any municipality are hereafter changed, then the boundaries of the applicable special services area created by this subsection shall thereby be cithya.'n"ged in conformity with the change in the corporate boundaries of the municipal-
By redesignating Section 1 as Section 3.
By striking Section 2 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof two new Sections to be designated Sections 4 and 5 and to 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.
Section 5. For the purpose of providing authority to adopt ordinances or resolutions to impose the license fees and taxes authorized by Sections 1 and 2 of this Act, said Sections 1 and 2 shall become effective on January 1, 1980, but no such ordinance or resolution shall impose such license fees and taxes prior to January 1, 1981.

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide requirements relative to setting the ad valorem tax millage rates for educational and county government purposes by the Board of Education and Board of County Commissioners of Burke County; to provide 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 IX, Section V, Paragraph II of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraphs:
"Except as hereinafter provided, the ad valorem tax millage rates for educational and county government purposes set, respectively, by the Board of Education and Board of County Commissioners of Burke County for the calendar year 1981 shall produce total tax revenues for such year not exceeding the total tax revenue received respectively by each such board for the calendar year 1980 plus 4% of such 1980 total tax revenues. Thereafter, beginning with the calendar year 1982, the Board of Education and the Board of County Commissioners of Burke County shall each set their respective ad valorem tax millage rate for each calendar year at a rate which will produce total tax revenues for each such board not exceeding the total tax revenues received by each board during the immediately preceding calendar year plus 4% of such total tax revenues received during the preceding calendar year. This restriction on total revenue increase is designed to hold increases in taxes on county property to not more than 4% annually. This is to apply whether such increases result from an increase in assessed valuation or an increase in millage rates. However, this restriction to 4% shall not include revenues received from new property that may be added to the County Digest, and such additional new property assessments shall not be included in computing total revenues.
If the board of education or the board of commissioners desires to set their respective ad valorem millage rate higher than the rates above authorized, the action to set such higher rates shall be taken by a majority vote of the full membership of the board of education and/or the board of commissioners, as the case may be. Prior to the action to set any such tax millage rate higher than the rates authorized in the foregoing, the board of education and the board of county commissioners shall conduct at least three public hearings within Burke County, one of which shall be held at the County Court House in Waynesboro, one of which shall be held in Midville, Georgia, in the school auditorium, and the other at Sardis, Georgia, in the school auditorium. The board of education and the board of county commissioners shall cause the date, the place, the time, and the purpose of each such public hearing to be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in Burke County for at least two consecutive weeks prior to the conduct of each public hearing. The board of education and the board of commissioners shall also send a press release to other news media serving Burke County at least five but not more than ten days prior to the conduct of each public hearing. Each such news release shall give the date, time, place and purpose of each such public hearing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to increase the maximum ad valorem tax millage rate for educational purposes which may be set by the Board of Education of Burke County."
Section 2. The above proposed amendment to the Constitution shall be published and submitted as provided in Article XII, Section I, Paragraph I of the Constitution of Georgia of 1976.

1768

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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 personal 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 evolution, they are easily disturbed by actions harming their vegetation or inhibiting their natural 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 acting as reservoirs of sand for the beaches. Removal of sand from these bars and shoals can 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 further 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

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1979

1779

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.
Section 3. Definitions. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms, when used in this Act, shall have the following meanings:
(a) "Applicant" means any person who files an application for a permit under the provisions of this Act.

A BILL
To provide, from State appropriations, funds as grants to local public school systems for educational purposes; to specify legislative authority; to specify purpose; to provide that, as a condition upon receipt of grant funds, a local public school system must utilize such funds for educational purposes so as to permit a credit to be placed on the ad valorem school tax bill of taxpayers in the district; to provide procedures; to provide limitations; to require certain tax bills to contain specified information; to provide certain alternative conditions upon receipt of grant funds; to specify certain duties and powers of the State Revenue Commissioner; to provide for rules and regulations; to specify certain duties of the State School Superintendent; 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:
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 Constitution 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 revenues 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 Brown 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.

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1979

1809

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 appropriate manner so as to afford local school systems the opportunity and needed encouragement 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 commitment to the growth and quality of the public schools, and their worthy educational programs, 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) (1) "Enrollment" does not include any pupil who has not attained age five (5) years by September 1 of the year in which the State makes grants to local public school systems pursuant to this Act.
(2) "Public and nonpublic schools" does not include postsecondary schools, colleges, or institutions. (d) As used in this Section, "total enrollment" of the public and accredited nonpublic schools shall mean the average total enrollment for the first four months of the immediately preceding school year, as determined by the State Superintendent of Schools.
PART FOUR Conditions Upon Grants
Section 1. Credit Against Ad Valorem Taxes, (a) 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 district. Each such credit shall equal a pro rata share of the sum of the grant allotted, pursuant to this Section, to the school district, determined as provided in subsection (b).
(b) The pro rata share of each taxpayer for purposes of determining the credit provided for by this Section shall be determined as follows:
(1) Determine the pro rata share of each taxpayer without regard to the maximum credit specified in Part Five. Then, apply the maximum credit limitation to each taxpayer.

1810

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(2) Then, determine the total dollar amount of funds which may not be credited to taxpayers in the district as a result of applying the maximum credit as provided in paragraph (1).
(3) Then, allocate the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (2) on a pro rata basis to all taxpayers other than taxpayers already credited with the maximum credit.
(4) Then, apply the maximum credit to the total funds allocated to each taxpayer pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (3) and determine the total dollar amount of funds which may not be credited to taxpayers in the district as a result of applying the maximum credit as provided in this paragraph.
(5) Then, allocate the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (4) on a pro rata basis to all taxpayers other than taxpayers already credited with the maximum credit, but only to the extent of the maximum credit allowed.
(6) Then, for each taxpayer, add the amounts determined or allocated pursuant to paragraphs (1), (3), and (5) and that sum shall be the taxpayer's pro rata share, subject to the limits contained in Part Five. (c) If, at the end of the allocation and computation required pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) or (3) and (4) of subsection (b), 90 percent or more of the grant to the district in any year has been allocated to the taxpayers of the district as a credit, the unallocated portion shall be considered surplus and the district is not required to further allocate such surplus pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
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) $500.00; and (b) The credit recipient's total tax liability for ad valorem taxes levied in the district for school purposes.
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 current 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 taxpayers 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 dollar 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 prescribed by the State Revenue Commissioner, who shall determine and certify to the appropriate 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 certification.
PART SEVEN Alternative Condition Upon Grants
Section 1. Application of Part. The provisions of this Part shall apply only in the event that any provision of Part Four, Part Five, or Part Six of this Act is ultimately

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1979

1811

found and held to be invalid or unconstitutional. In such event, the provisions of this Part shall supersede the provisions of Parts Four, Five, and Six of this Act.
Section 2. Computation to Be Shown on Tax Bill, (a) No local public school system shall be entitled to receive any of the funds provided for in this Act unless the system directs that a computation be shown on each tax bill for school ad valorem taxes other than motor vehicle and trailer tax bills.
(b) The computation provided for in subsection (a) shall show the following: (1) The mill rate which the school system would have been required to levy, or
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 1. Administration of Act. It shall be the duty of the State Revenue Commissioner to administer the provisions of this Act and the Commissioner shall have the authority to promulgate such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary to the effective administration of the provisions of this Act. The Commissioner's rules shall specify procedures for application of Parts Six and Seven of this Act to independent school systems receiving their revenues from a municipal general fund.
Section 2. Use of Surplus Grant Funds. If there remains a surplus from the funds allotted to any school district or districts by the provisions of this Act after complying with the provisions of this Act, such remaining funds shall be deemed appropriated and allotted to such school district or districts for aid in the furtherance of the educational purposes of such school district or districts.
Section 3. Certification of Enrollment Figures. The State School Superintendent shall furnish to the State Revenue Commissioner a certified listing of the enrollment figures for each school district and accredited nonpublic school in the State. In the event said superintendent is unable to obtain such figures for any school district or school, no payments under the provisions of this Act shall be made to such district or districts until such enrollment figures have been obtained and certified by said superintendent.
PART NINE Severability
In the event any Part, 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 Parts, Sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the Part, 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.
PART TEN Effective Date
This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered form, or both, as the Authority may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and alsc as to both principal and interest.
(c) All such bonds shall be executed with the engraved, imprinted, stamped, 01 otherwise reproduced facsimile of the signature of the Chairman of the Authority and thi corporate seal of the Authority shall be thereunto impressed or a facsimile thereo imprinted or otherwise reproduced and attested by the manually executed signature of thi Secretary-Treasurer of the Authority and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the fac simile signature of said Secretary-Treasurer. In case any officer whose signature shal appear on the bonds or coupons shall cease to be such officer before delivery of sue! bonds, such signature shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes the sam as if he had remained in office until delivery, and such bonds may, nevertheless, be issuei and delivered as though the person who signed or sealed such bonds had not ceased t be such officer, and any of such bonds may be executed and sealed on behalf of sai Authority by such officers who may, at the time of the execution of such bonds, hold th proper offices of said Authority although on the date of such bonds or on the date of an lawful proceedings taken in connection therewith such persons may not have held sue offices.
(d) All revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall be and are hereb declared to be negotiable under the laws of the State of Georgia, subject to provisions f< registration.

(f) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the Authority may, under lil restrictions, issue interim receipts, interim certificates or temporary bonds, with or witho coupons exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter.

(i) Revenue bonds issued by the Authority hereunder shall not be deemed to cons tute a debt of the State of Georgia or any political subdivision thereof which may contri with said Authority. No contracts entered into by the Authority with any such politi

TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1979

1825

subdivision shall create a debt of such political subdivision of the State of Georgia within the meaning of Article VII, Section VII, Paragraph I of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, but any such political subdivision may obligate itself to pay the payments required under such contracts, as herein set out, from monies received from taxes and from any other source without creating a debt within the meaning of Article VII, Section VII, Paragraph I of the Constitution of the State of Georgia.
(j) In the discretion of the Authority, any issue of such revenue bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the Authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the State. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign fees, tolls, revenues and earnings to be received by the Authority. Either the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or such trust indenture may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the Authority in relation to the acquisition of property, the construction of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair and insuring of the project, and the custody, safeguarding and application of all monies; and may also provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or architects employed or designated by the Authority, and satisfactory to the original purchasers of the bonds; and may also require that the security given by contractors and by any depositary of the proceeds of the bonds or revenues or other monies be satisfactory to such purchasers; and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this State or of the United States to act as such depositary and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the Authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the Authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation and repair of the project affected by such indenture.
Section 7. To Whom Proceeds of Bonds Shall Be Paid. The Authority shall, in the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds to any officer or person who, or any agency, bank or trust company which, shall act as trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes hereof, subject to such regulations as such resolutions or trust indentures may provide.

The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be maintained as a trust account for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds,

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide that for the purpose of all ad valorem taxation for Glynn County and the Glynn County school district tl assessed value of the homestead of each resident of such county or school district who sixty-two years of age or over or who is disabled and who has a gross income not exceedii $12,000.00 per annum shall not be increased; to provide for the submission of this amem ment 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 here amended by adding at the end thereof a new paragraph to read as follows:

TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1979

1835

"This paragraph shall apply only to each resident of Glynn County or the Glynn County school district owning and occupying a homestead within such county or school district who is at least sixty-two years of age or disabled and who has a gross income from all sources, including the income of all members of the family residing within said homestead, not exceeding $12,000.00 for the immediately preceding calendar year. 'Disabled,' as used herein, means either a certification by not more than three physicians licensed to practice medicine in the State of Georgia that the resident is mentally or physically incapacitated to the extent that such resident is unable to be gainfully employed and that such incapacity is likely to be permanent or being disabled to the extent that the resident is entitled to receive disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act. For the purposes of all ad valorem taxation for Glynn County and the Glynn County school district, the assessed value of a homestead owned and occupied by each such resident of said county or school district shall not be increased so long as such homestead is owned and occupied by such resident. A homestead owned and occupied by such a resident on or before January 1, 1981, shall be assessed at the amount at which it was assessed on January 1, 1981, for so long as the requisite ownership and occupancy continue. A homestead first owned and occupied by such a resident after January 1, 1981, shall be assessed at the amount at which it was assessed at the time of such initial ownership and occupancy for so long as the requisite ownership and occupancy continue. A homestead owned and occupied by a resident of Glynn County or the Glynn County school district who thereafter becomes sixty-two years of age or disabled and who meets the income qualification as aforesaid shall be assessed at the amount at which it was assessed at the time such resident first became sixty-two years of age or disabled for so long as the requisite ownership and occupancy continue. The homestead of such a resident who ceases to be disabled more than one year before reaching age sixty-two shall be reassessed at the time he ceased to be disabled, and thereafter such homestead shall be assessed for ad valorem tax purposes in the same manner as other property until such time as such resident reaches age sixty-two, but at such time, the assessed value of such homestead shall not be increased so long as the requisite ownership and occupancy continue. The homestead of such a resident who ceases to be disabled one year or less before reaching age sixty-two or on or after reaching age sixty-two shall not be reassessed by reason of such resident ceasing to be disabled but shall be assessed at the same value at which it was assessed during his disability for so long as the requisite ownership and occupancy continue. Any such resident of Glynn County or the Glynn County school district shall not receive the benefits of this paragraph unless he, or an agent acting in behalf of such resident, files an affidavit with the board of tax assessors of such county giving his age or, if disabled, the proof of such disability as provided herein, and the amount of income which he and other members of his family occupying and residing at such homestead received during the immediately preceding calendar year for income tax purposes and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of this paragraph as will enable the board of tax assessors to make a determination as to whether such resident is entitled to the benefits of this paragraph. The board of tax assessors shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. After any such resident has filed the proper affidavit and proof of disability, if disabled, and has been allowed the benefits of this paragraph, it shall not be necessary for such resident to file said affidavit and proof of disability thereafter for any year, and such resident shall continue to receive the benefits of this paragraph. It shall be the duty of any such resident who has claimed and been allowed the benefits of this paragraph to notify the board of tax assessors in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason to receive the benefits of this paragraph. The General Assembly is authorized to enact local legislation consistent herewith to prevent any person, firm or corporation from escaping payment of their fair share of ad valorem taxes and to carry out the intent of this paragraph, but the provisions of this paragraph shall be effective without the necessity of such local legislation."
Section 2. The above proposed amendment to the Constitution shall be published
and submitted as provided in Article XII, Section I, Paragraph I of the Constitution of
Georgia of 1976.

The proportion of such Federal Funds to be allocated to the Department of Education and Regents, University System of Georgia shall be determined by the Office of Planning and Budget.

Section 51.

Section 52. 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 53. It is the intent of this General Assembly that each agency for which an appropriation is authorized herein shall maintain financial records in such a fashion as to enable the State Auditor to readily determine by Object Class the expenditures of each activity contained in this Appropriations Act.

1983

required under lease contracts have been paid in full, and if for any reason any of the sums herein provided under any other provision of this Act are insufficient in any year to make the required payments in full, there shall be taken from other funds appropriated to the department, agency or institution involved, an amount sufficient to satisfy such deficiency in full and the lease payment constitutes a first charge on all such appropria tions.
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 58.

In those cases in which the aforesaid Budget Report contains no recommendation by the Governor of expenditures as to objects, the Director of the Budget, except as to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Government, is authorized to allocate as to object such funds as he deems proper, but he shall not approve any operating budget containing any such allo cation until such shall be submitted and approved in the same manner and under the same conditions provided hereinbefore for transfers.

Section 59. 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. 1980 submitted to the General Assembly at the 1979 regular session.

Section 60. It is the intent of the General Assembly that for the purposes of this Act, (1) Authorized motor vehicles are defined as sedans, pick-up trucks, vans, station
wagons and any other such vehicles for street and highway use, and (2) The number of authorized motor vehicles indicated for each budget unit shall

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 57, relating to interest and usury, as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 1, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 1221), so as to establish a flexible maxi mum rate of interest for real estate loans; to provide that the Monthly Index of Long Term United States Government Bond Yields is the appropriate basis on which such a maximum rate of interest may be established; to define certain terms; to provide the method for computing the maximum rate of interest; to provide that the Commissioner of Banking and Finance shall determine the Monthly Index of Long Term United States Government Bond Yields for the preceding calendar month and determine the maximum rate of interest for real estate loans for the succeeding month; to provide that the Commis sioner may publish such maximum rates of interest in the monthly bulletin of the Depart ment of Banking and Finance; to provide for the maintenance of official actions by the Commissioner; to provide that certification of the legal rate of interest shall constitute prima facie evidence which shall be admissible in any court; to provide that such determi nations by the Commissioner shall not constitute a rule within the meaning of nor other wise be subject to the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act; to provide for the issuance of loan commitments; to authorize lenders to charge interest rates in effect on the date loan commitments are issued; to provide that amounts paid or contracted to be paid to the lender by persons other than the borrower, and intangible recording taxes paid by the borrower shall not be considered interest and shall not be taken into account in the calcu lation of interest on real estate loans; 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.
WHEREAS, because of changes in economic conditions, rates of interest have contin ued to increase substantially with the result that many citizens of Georgia find it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain loans for the purchase of homes at the maximum applicable rates of interest presently fixed by Georgia law; and
WHEREAS, such rates are expected in the future to vary from time to time depend ing upon fluctuations in economic conditions and such loans may become more difficult, if not altogether impossible, for borrowers to obtain at such maximum rates; and
WHEREAS, out-of-state lenders and investors are increasingly reluctant, if not unwill ing, to make or purchase such loans in Georgia at the maximum interest rates presently fixed by Georgia law; and
WHEREAS, an increasing number of lenders and investors in the State of Georgia are making or purchasing such loans in other states which permit higher rates of interest than those presently fixed by Georgia law; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interest of citizens of Georgia that the maximum interest rate on loans secured by real estate or an interest therein should be set at levels which are competitive with those in other states; and
WHEREAS, this Act will increase the availability of home loans to Georgians, all to the benefit of this State and of its citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Title 57, relating to interest and usury, as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 1, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 1221), is hereby amended by striking Code Section 57-101.1 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 57-101.1, to read as follows:
"57-101.1. Interest rates on real estate loans, (a) The General Assembly hereby finds that it is necessary and appropriate to establish a flexible maximum rate of interest for

2002

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

real estate loans and further finds that the Monthly Index of Long Term United States Government Bond Yields is the appropriate basis on which such a maximum rate of interest may be established and that the Twenty-year Constant Maturity Index of Long Term United States Government Bond Yields as now compiled by the United States Treasury Department and as now published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the monthly Federal Reserve Bulletin accurately reflects such basis.
(b) As used in this Section (1) 'Commissioner' means the Commissioner of Banking and Finance. (2) 'Monthly Index of Long Term United States Government Bond Yields' or
'Monthly Index' means the monthly average of the daily yields on all outstanding United States Treasury bond issues, except such bonds as are redeemable at par for payment of federal estate taxes, with twenty years remaining to final maturity. This index shall be expressed in terms of percentage interest per annum.
(3) 'Real estate loan' means any loan, charge, reserve, advance of money or for bearance to enforce collection of money where the security given is or includes real property or an interest therein.
(4) 'Settlement' means the transaction at which the proceeds of a real estate loan or the initial portion thereof are paid or disbursed to, or at the direction of, the bor rower, or are applied or held, for the account of the borrower. (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, Title, or other Acts to the contrary:
(1) The maximum rate of interest for real estate loans settled or contracted for during any calendar month shall be equal to the Monthly Index for the second pre ceding calendar month plus an additional two and one-half percentage points rounded off to the nearest quarter of one percent.
(2) The maximum rate of interest in effect as herein provided on the date of a legally binding commitment to make a real estate loan at or within a specified time in the future shall continue to be applicable to such commitment and to the loan con templated thereby notwithstanding the fact that the maximum rate of interest as pro vided for herein changes at any time after the date of such commitment.
(3) The maximum rate of interest in effect as herein provided on the date of set tlement of a real estate loan with respect to which there is no such prior commitment shall continue to be applicable to such loan notwithstanding the fact that the maxi mum rate of interest as provided for herein changes at any time after the date of such
settlement. (4) On or before the 20th day of each month, the Commissioner (A) shall determine, based on available statistics, the Monthly Index for the pre ceding calendar month; and (B) shall determine the maximum rate of interest for real estate loans for the succeeding month as defined in subsection (c) (1) of this Section and shall cause such maximum rate of interest to be published monthly. Such publication may be contained in a monthly bulletin of the Department of Banking and Finance. Such determinations shall not constitute a rule within the meaning of an Act known as the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act, approved March 10, 1964 (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 338), as amended, nor be subject otherwise to the provisions of that Act. The maximum rate of interest as so determined by the Commissioner shall become effective on the 1st day of the succeeding month. The Department of Banking and Finance shall maintain an official record of the actions by the Commissioner fixing the legal rate of interest at the beginning of each calendar month. Certification by the Department of Banking and Finance of the legal rate of interest in effect for any particular month shall constitute prima facie evidence and shall be admissible in any court. (5) Real estate loans, the repayment of which is guaranteed or insured by the
United States or by any agency or instrumentality thereof, shall not be subject to any maximum rate of interest.
(6) (A) Amounts paid to, or contracted to be paid to, the lender by persons other
than the borrower shall not be considered interest and shall not be taken into
account in the calculation of interest.

TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1979

2003

(B) Intangible recording taxes paid by the borrower on long-term real estate loans shall not be considered interest and shall not be taken into account in the cal culation of interest. (7) The rate of interest applicable to a real estate loan shall be computed upon the assumption that the debt will be paid according to the agreed terms and will not be paid before the end of the agreed term. Any sums of money reserved or taken for the loan or forbearance which are in the nature of and taken into account in the cal culation of interest, even though paid at one time, shall be spread over the stated term of the loan for the purpose of determining the rate of interest under this Section. (8) Any partial prepayment on a real estate loan shall be applied against the prin cipal amount outstanding and shall not postpone the due date of any installments or change the amount of such installments unless the borrower shall be in default on any payment or payments for any reason, in which event the lender shall credit the pre payments to the defaulted installments until the total sum of such defaulted installments are brought current. (d) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to amend, modify, super sede, or repeal any Act, Section, or any other law which presently allows any person, company, or corporation to reserve, charge, or take for any loan or advance of money, or forbearance to enforce the collection of any sum of money, any rate of interest greater than the maximum rate of interest authorized by this Section, including but not limited to, an Act relating to interest on installment loans, approved August 16, 1912 (Ga. Laws 1912, p. 144), as amended by an Act approved March 31, 1937 (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 463), and an Act approved March 31, 1976 (Ga. Laws 1976, p. 1197), the same being codified as Georgia Code Section 57-116, as now or hereafter amended; an Act known as the 'Georgia Industrial Loan Act,' approved March 4, 1955 (Ga.

Laws 1975, p. 1114), an Act approved March 24, 1976 (Ga. Laws 1976, p. 726), and as hereafter amended, and an Act relating to interest on loans of $100,000.00 or more, approved March 14, 1969 (Ga. Laws 1969, p. 80), the same being codified as Georgia Code Section 57-119, as now or hereafter amended."
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.

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:
"The homestead of each resident of the Upson County School District who is sixtytwo years of age or over and who does not have a gross income from all sources, includ ing the gross income of all members of the family residing within said homestead, exceeding $8,000.00 per annum, is hereby exempt from all ad valorem taxation for edu cational purposes levied for and in behalf of such school system, including taxes to retire school bond indebtedness, which exemption shall be in the same amount as may now or hereafter be exempted by general law enacted pursuant to the provisions of this Para graph IV of Section I of Article VII of the Constitution relating to the homestead of county school district residents who are sixty-two years of age or older with income below certain limits. The exemption granted by this Paragraph shall be in the same amount as the exemption granted by said general law and shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, said exemption granted by general law. The value of the homestead in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. No such exemp tion shall be granted unless an affidavit of the owner of the homestead is filed with the Tax Commissioner of Upson County giving his age, the amount of gross income which he received for the immediately preceding calendar year, the gross income which the members of his family residing within the homestead received for such period, and such other additional information relative to receiving the benefits of the exemption granted by this Paragraph as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to said exemption. The tax commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. The exemption granted to the homestead within this Paragraph shall extend to and shall apply to those properties, the legal title to which is vested in one or more titleholders, if actually occupied by one or more such owners as a residence, and one or more such titleholders possesses the qualifications provided for in this Paragraph. In such instances, such exemptions shall be granted to such prop erties, if claimed in the manner herein provided by one or more of the owners actually residing on such property. Such exemptions 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 residing on such property shall possess the qualifications pro vided for herein and shall claim the exemptions granted by this Paragraph in the man ner herein provided. The exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor."

Section 2. The above proposed amendment to the Constitution shall be published and submitted as provided in Article XII, Section I, Paragraph I of the Constitution of
Georgia of 1976. The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed

Honorable Thomas B. Murphy, Speaker House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Honorable Zell Miller Lieutenant Governor State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the directions of Article V, Section II, Paragraph II of the Constitution which requires that the Governor communicate to the General Assembly each case in which a suspension of the execution of a sentence of death has been granted, the following information is provided.
On March 21, 1975, Horace William Dix was sentenced to death following his convic tion of the offense of murder in the Superior Court of Clayton County. On February 7, 1978, said subject was resentenced to be executed on February 22, 1978, by order of the Superior Court of Clayton County. On February 20, 1978, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles notified me that the Board was in receipt of a petition filed in behalf of said Horace William Dix requesting the Board to commute the death penalty. The State Board of Pardons and Paroles requested that I grant a stay of execution of 90 days in order that the Board might have sufficient time to investigate and hold a hearing for the purpose of determining whether the death sentence should be commuted. On February 21, 1978, the sentence of death imposed upon Horace William Dix was suspended by me for 90 days pursuant to the request of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Sincerely, George Busbee

Laws 1977, p. 281), so as to provide that in coun ties having certain emergency medical services in operation on the effective date of said Act approved March 17, 1978, the provisions of said Code Chapter shall not apply until and unless the governing authority of such counties shall by appropriate resolution elect to be governed by the provisions of said Act; to provide for the rendering of certain ser vices by cardiac technicians and advanced emergency medical technicians in hospitals under certain conditions; to provide for legislative intent; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

WITNESSETHTHAT:

WHEREAS, under and by virtue of the terms and provisions of that certain "Amend

made and entered into on April 25, 1974, by and between Lessor, acting through its Gover

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants and

agreements herein set forth by each party to be kept and performed, and for other good

expressly acknowledged by each party hereto, Lessor and Lessee do hereby mutually cove

nant and agree as follows:

1.

Section Ten of the Consolidated Lease is hereby amended by deleting the words "or

usefulness" from the first complete sentence of said Section Ten so that when so amended,

Section Ten of the Consolidated Lease shall read as follows:

"Section Ten: Encroachments, Adverse Uses And Occupancies Other Than

Lawful Rights Previously Granted. Lessee may use the Property for any lawful

purpose but Lessee shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done which might

impair the value er usefulness of the Property or which constitutes a public or private

nuisance. Lessee, acting in its own name and behalf, shall undertake to remove and

cause the discontinuance of any and all encroachments, adverse uses and occupancies

(other than the rights, privileges and interests in, to and upon the Property, or any part

thereof, in parties other than Lessor by virtue of the exceptions and encumbrances

enumerated in the aforesaid Exhibit 'B' hereof) (hereinafter singularly and collectively

will, if and when requested in writing by Lessee, join with Lessee and become a party

to any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, instituted for the purpose of freeing the Prop

erty from any Encroachment. If, due to any Encroachment, Lessee cannot use and enjoy

the Property or any portion thereof, this Amended Lease shall not be void or voidable

previously subject thereto shall, for the remaining term of this Amended Lease, inure

to the benefit of Lessee to the same extent as the other portions of the Property herein

leased."

2.

Section Nineteen of the Consolidated Lease is hereby amended by adding the words

"or by any 'Recognized Sublessee' (as said term is hereinbelow defined in Section Thirty

2122

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of this Amended Lease)" after the word "Lessee" as such word appears intermittently in the first complete sentence of said Section Nineteen so that when so amended, Section Nineteen of the Consolidated Lease shall read as follows:
"Section Nineteen: Merger Of Improvements By Lessee. Lessor consents to the construction of buildings and improvements (hereinafter referred to in this Amended Lease as 'Special Improvement' or 'Special Improvements' as the context requires) over and across the boundary lines of the Property, both vertical and horizontal, onto other contiguous lands (such other contiguous lands on which any such Special Improvement is constructed being hereinafter referred to as 'Adjoining Property') which are owned by Lessee or by any 'Recognized Sublessee' (as said term is hereinbelow defined in Section Thirty of this Amended Lease) or which are leased or subleased by Lessee or bj any 'Recognized Sublessee' (as said term is hereinbelow defined in Section Thirty of this Amended Lease) for a term of years not to expire prior to the expiration date of the term of years of this Amended Lease. Lessor agrees and does hereby grant to the owner of the Adjoining Property and any party claiming by, through or under said owner, a non-exclusive easement to use (in common with Lessor hereunder and anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor) any such Special Improvement. Such non-exclusive ease ment herein granted shall (i) be for the use of all common areas and facilities located within any such Special Improvement and on the Property which shall reasonably be necessary or appropriate for the continued utilization of that portion of any such Special Improvement located on the Adjoining Property, including, but not limited to, aisles, hallways, elevators, restroom facilities, sidewalks, stairways and service areas; (ii) not vest into a present right of use until the expiration or termination of this Amended Lease; and (iii) expire automatically upon (a) the removal or demolition of any such Special Improvement (provided, however, that any such Special Improvement shall be. removed or demolished only by the mutual agreement of the owners [which terms 'owners' or 'owner' as used in this Section Nineteen shall include all parties having an ownership or security interest in that portion of the Property and the Adjoining Prop erty upon which the Special Improvement is located] of that portion of the Property and the Adjoining Property upon which the Special Improvement is located); or (b) Decem ber 27, 2054, whichever shall first occur.

The 'Committee for Continued Hospitaliza tion Review' shall be established by the chief medical officer of each facility and shall consist of not less than three physicians and not less than two other persons of a profes sional status. The committee may conduct its meetings with a quorum of any three members. The function of this committee shall be to review and evaluate the updated individualized service plan and to report to the chief medical officer its recommenda tions concerning the patient's need for continued hospitalization. No person who has responsibility for the care and treatment of the individual patient for whom continued hospitalization is requested shall serve on any committee which reviews such individual's case.
(1) The committee shall meet to consider the request for an order within ten days of the date of the notice. Prior to the committee's meeting, the patient and his repre sentatives shall be notified of the following: The purpose of such meeting, the time and place of such meeting, of their right to be present at such meeting, and of their right to present any alternative individualized service plan secured at their expense. In those cases in which the patient will not or cannot appear, at least one member of the committee will make all reasonable efforts to interview the patient and report to the committee. The attending physician shall present an updated individualized service plan for the patient to the committee. The committee shall report to the chief medical officer or his designee, other than the attending physician or a member of the committee, its written recommendations along with any minority recommendations which may also be submitted. Such report will specify whether or not the patient is a mentally ill person requiring involuntary treatment and whether continued hospi talization is the least restrictive alternative available.
(2) If after considering the committee's recommendations and minority recom mendations, if any, the chief medical officer or his designee, other than the attending physician or a member of the committee, determines that the patient is not a mentally ill person requiring involuntary treatment, the patient shall be immediately discharged from involuntary hospitalization. Such person may apply for voluntary admission sub ject to Code Section 88-503.5.
(3) If after considering the committee's recommendations and minority recom mendations, if any, the chief medical officer or his designee, other than the attending physician or member of the committee, determines that the patient is a mentally ill person requiring involuntary treatment, he shall, within ten days after receiving the committee's recommendations, serve a petition and a copy of the updated individualized service plan and the committee's report on the designated office within the Georgia Department of Human Resources and serve such petition along with a copy of the updated individualized service plan on the patient. A copy of the petition shall be served on his representatives. The petition shall contain a plain and simple statement that the patient or his representatives may file a request for a hearing with the hearing examiner within fifteen days after service of the petition by the commit tee, that the patient has a right to counsel, that the patient or his representatives may apply immediately to the court to have counsel appointed if the patient cannot afford counsel, and that the court will appoint counsel for the patient if a hearing is so requested by the patient or the representatives unless the patient indicates in writing that he does not desire to be represented by counsel or has made his own arrange ments for counsel.
(4) If a hearing is not requested by the patient or the representatives within fif teen days of service of the petition on the patient and his representatives, the hearing examiner shall make an independent review of the committee's report, the updated individualized service plan and the petition. If he concludes that continued hospi talization may not be necessary or if he finds any member of the committee so con
cluded, then he shall order that a hearing be held pursuant to subsection (5) of this

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1979

2145

Section. If he concludes that continued hospitalization is necessary, then he shall order continued hospitalization for a period not to exceed one year.
(5) If a hearing is requested within fifteen days of service of the petition on the patient and his representatives, or if the hearing examiner orders a hearing pursuant to subsection (4) above, the hearing examiner shall set a time and place for the hear ing to be held within twenty-five days of the time the hearing examiner receives the request, but in any event, no later than the day on which the current order of involun tary hospitalization expires. Notice of the hearing shall be served on the patient and his representatives. Notice shall also be given to the facility and, when appropriate, to counsel for the patient. The hearing examiner, within his discretion, may grant a change of venue for the convenience of parties or witnesses. Such hearing shall be a full and fair hearing except that the patient's attorney, when the patient is unable to attend the hearing and is incapable of consenting to a waiver of his appearance, may move that the patient not be required to appear; however, the record shall reflect the reasons for the hearing examiner's actions. After such hearing, the hearing examiner may issue any order which the court is authorized to issue under subsections (c) and (d) of Section 88-506.2, provided, the hearing examiner may order the patient's contin ued hospitalization for a period not to exceed one year subject to the power of the chief medical officer to discharge the patient under Section 88-506.6(b).
(6) The hearing examiner for a patient who was admitted under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and who reaches the age of seventeen without having had a full and fair hearing pursuant to any provisions of this Chapter or without having waived such hearing shall order that a hearing be held pursuant to subsection (5) of this Section."
Section 10. Said Code Chapter is further amended by inserting immediately follow ing Section 88-507.8 a new Section, to be designated Section 88-507.9, to read as follows:
"88-507.9. Unauthorized leave from a facility. If, during the period of involuntary hospitalization pursuant to any valid physician's certificate, court order, or order by the hearing examiner authorized by the provisions of this Chapter, a patient escapes or otherwise leaves a facility without permission, the facility may advise any peace officer that the patient has escaped or otherwise left the facility without permission, and the peace officer shall be authorized to take said patient into custody and return him to said facility."
Section 11. 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 12. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 13. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend (/ode Chapter 88-25, relating to habilitation of mentally retarded persons, as amended, particularly by Act Number 1360, approved April 4, 1978 (Ga. Laws 1978, p. 1826), so as to change certain definitions; to change certain provisions relating to restraints; to change certain provisions relating to confidentiality; to change certain find ings required by the court; to provide for dental services; to change which courts may appoint counsel; to change the procedures for continued habilitation; to provide for clients on unauthorized leave; 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 Chapter 88-25, relating to habilitation of mentally retarded persons, as amended, particularly by Act Number 1360, approved April 4, 1978 (Ga. Laws 1978, p. 1826), is hereby amended by striking from subsection (p) of Code Section 88-2502, relating to definitions, the following:
"If the client cannot afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel for him or the hearing examiner shall have the superior court appoint such counsel.", and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1979

2147

"If the client cannot afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel for him or the hearing examiner shall have the court appoint such counsel.", so that when so amended, said subsection shall read as follows:
"(p) 'Full and fair hearing' or 'hearing' shall mean a proceeding before a hearing examiner, under Section 88-2507, or before a court, as defined in subsection (n) of this Section. The hearing may be held in a regular courtroom or in an informal setting, in the discretion of the hearing examiner or the court, but the hearing shall be electroni cally recorded or recorded by a qualified court reporter. The client shall be provided with effective assistance of counsel, tf- thft client cannot afford counsel, the court shall
such counsel. If the client cannot afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel for him or the hearing examiner shall have the court appoint such counsel. The client shall have the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses and to offer evidence. The client shall have the right to subpoena witnesses and to require testimony before the hearing exam iner or in court in person or by deposition from any physician upon whose evaluation the decision of the hearing examiner or the court may rest. The client shall have the right to obtain a continuance for any reasonable time for good cause shown. The hearing examiner and the court shall apply the rules of evidence applicable in civil cases. The burden of proof shall be upon the party seeking treatment of the client. The standard of proof shall be by clear and convincing evidence. At the request of the client, the public may be excluded from the hearing, and the client need not be present if the client consents; in either of these events however, the record shall reflect the reason for the hearing examiner's or the court's action;".
Section 2. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety subsec tion (b) of Code Section 88-2503.5, relating to restraints and abuses, which reads as fol lows:
"(b) Physical restraints shall not be applied unless it is determined by an attending physician to be absolutely necessary to prevent a client from seriously injuring himself or others and is required by his medical needs. Such determination shall expire after 24 hours. An attending physician must then make a new determination before the restraint may be continued. Every use of a restraint and the reasons therefor shall be made a part of the clinical record of the client. A copy of each such entry shall be forwarded to the superintendent for review. A client placed in physical restraint shall be checked at least every 30 minutes by staff trained in the use of restraints and a written record of such checks shall be made.", and inserting in lieu thereof the following new subsections:
"(b) Physical restraints shall not be applied, except in emergencies as provided in this subsection, unless it is determined by a physician to be necessary to prevent a client from seriously injuring himself or others. Restraints shall not be employed as punish ment, for the convenience of the staff, or as a substitute for programs. The physician may order the application of restraints. The physician's order for restraints shall expire after twelve hours. The physician must then make a new determination that the applica tion of restraints is necessary to prevent the client from seriously injuring himself or others and must make such a determination for each twelve-hour period that the restraint is continued. The physician must issue a written order for each use of restraints. When the application of a restraint is necessary in emergency situations to protect the client from immediate injury to himself or to others, restraints may be authorized by professional personnel who must immediately report the action taken to the physician. The facility shall have written policies and procedures which govern the use of restraints and which clearly delineate, in descending order, the personnel who can authorize the use of restraints in emergency situations.
(c) Every use of restraint shall be made a part of the resident's clinical record. The following shall be documented in the record: (1) the reasons for applying the restraint, (2) the signature of the person authorizing the restraint, (3) the time of application and removal of the restraint, and (4) a record of checks at least every thirty minutes by a staff member trained in use of restraints with the signature of the person making such

2148

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

checks. A copy of each use of restraint shall be forwarded to the superintendent for review.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, those devices which restrain movement, but are applied for protection from accidental injury or required for the medical treatment of the client's physical condition or for supportive or corrective needs of the client, shall not be considered physical restraints. However, devices used in such situations must be authorized and applied in compliance with the facilities' policies and procedures. The use of such devices shall be a part of the client's individual program plan."
Section 3. Said Code Chapter is further amended by adding a new paragraph at the end of subsection (a) of Section 88-2503.12, relating to confidentiality, to read as follows:
"Any person making a disclosure authorized by this subsection (a) shall not be liable to the client or any other person notwithstanding any contrary provision of Code Section 38-418, as now or hereafter amended."
Section 4. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking in subsection (f) of Code Section 88-2504, relating to the procedures for orders to receive services from the department, the following:
"(3) that these services can be provided in said facility", and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(3) that the court has been notified by the department that a bed appropriate to the specific needs of the client is available and that the services indicated in the individualized program plan submitted to the court by the comprehensive evaluation team or by the client can be provided", so that when so amended, subsection (f) of Code Section 88-2504 shall read as follows:
"(f) If, after a full and fair hearing, the court finds that the client is not mentally retarded or that he is not in need of care, training, education, habilitation, or other spe cialized services other than that which he is then receiving, the court shall order the petition dismissed. If the court finds that the client is mentally retarded and is in need of additional care, training, education, habilitation, or other specialized services, the department shall recommend a habilitative program for the client, based upon the individualized program plans submitted, which is an alternative to care in a facility. If the court finds that such an alternative program is available, and that such program presents a reasonable expectation of accomplishing the stated goals of the individualized program plan adopted by the court, the court shall order the client to comply with the plan and shall issue appropriate orders to implement the plan. If the court concludes from the evidence that the least restrictive alternative available which would accomplish the goals of the plan is for the client to be admitted to a facility, the court shall not order the client admitted to the facility unless it specifically finds that the client (1) requires direct medical services, (2) needs twenty-four-hour training in a residential care facility, and {} that the services ea be provided said facility (3) that the court has been notified by the department that a bed appropriate to the specific needs of the client is available and that the services indicated in the individualized program plan submitted to the court by the comprehensive evaluation team or by the client can be provided. If the court shall find, based upon the evidence and the program plan adopted, that the accomplishment of the goals for the client requires some limited period of residence in a facility followed by a community services program, then the court shall issue appropriate orders. The court may order that any client admitted under this Section remain in a facility for any period not to exceed six months, subject to the power of the superintendent to discharge the client under Section 88-2508. If continued care as a resident in a facility is thought by the person in charge of the client's habilitation to be necessary at the end of such six-month period, the person in charge of that client's habilitation shall apply for an order under Section 88-2507 authorizing such continued care in the facility. In any case in which the court orders the client to receive services from the department, the court shall make findings of fact and conclu sions of law in support of and as part of said order."
Section 5. Said Code Chapter is further amended by adding after Code Section 88-2504.1 a new Code Section to be designated Code Section 88-2504.2, to read as follows:

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1979

2149

"88-2504.2. Dental services. The superintendent or his designee of any facility may admit, for purposes of receiving dental services not otherwise available in the commu nity, any person eighteen years of age or older requesting dental services, any person for whom such a request is made by his parents, guardian, or person standing in loco parentis, and any person who has been declared legally incompetent and for whom such a request is made by his guardian. The purpose and length of such an admission shall not exceed the time necessary to receive dental services deemed appropriate by persons authorized to practice dentistry in this State, but such time period may also include the normal time for recovery from such services."
Section 6. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking from the first sentence of subsection (d) of Section 88-2506, relating to hearing examiners, the following:
"superior", so that when so amended, said subsection shall read as follows:
"(d) In the event a client cannot afford counsel in a hearing before the hearing examiner, the hearing examiner shall apply to the superior court of the county in which the hearing is held and that court shall appoint counsel for the client. Payment for such representation shall be made by the county of the client's legal residence."
Section 7. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 88-2507, relating to procedure for continued habilitation, which reads as follows:
"88-2507. Procedure for continued habilitation in facility, (a) If continued habilitation in a facility is felt necessary for a client authorized to be retained in a facility under Section 88-2504, the superintendent shall, prior to the expiration of the period during which the facility is authorized to retain the client by the provisions of this Chapter and after such recommendation by the habilitation team, file a petition in the applicable court in the county where the client is found requesting an order authorizing continued habilitation in the facility under the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section and shall submit with the petition an updated program plan for the client. Continued habilitation must be sought for such a client no later than six months after the client is originally ordered, under Section 88-2504, to receive services from the department as a resident in a facility, and every 12 months thereafter.
(b) The superintendent may seek an order authorizing continued habilitation in a facility of a client, authorized to be retained in a facility under Section 88-2504 or under this Section 88-2507, for up to 12 months by filing a petition therefor in the applicable court in the county where the client is found, along with an updated individualized pro gram plan for the client. Such petition shall be filed no later than 20 days prior to the expiration of that period during which the client may be retained for habilitation in a facility, as such period is referred to in subsection (a) of this Section. Within five days after such filing, the court shall send by first class mail the petition and the updated program plan to the office of the hearing examiner. The hearing examiner shall hold a full and fair hearing on such petition no sooner than 15 days and no later than 20 days after the petition is filed and, within 10 days after such petition is filed, shall send notice of such hearing to the court, the superintendent, and to the client and his repre sentatives. Such notice to the client and his representatives shall contain the informa tion required in paragraphs (1), (2), and (4) of Section 88-2504(e), along with the updated individualized program plan and a statement that the client or his representa tives may apply for a change of venue. The client or his representatives may apply for a change of venue for the convenience of parties or witnesses, and such change may be ordered within the discretion of the hearing examiner. The facility may retain the client pending the outcome of the hearing, provided such full and fair hearing is held within the time provided herein. After such hearing, the hearing examiner may issue any order which the court is authorized to issue under subsection (f) of Section 88-2504, subject to the limitations contained therein, except that the hearing examiner may order the client to remain in the facility for any period not to exceed 12 months.", and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 88-2507, to read as follows:
"88-2507. Procedure for continued habilitation. (a) If continued habilitation of a client is necessary, the superintendent or his designee shall, prior to the expiration of

2150

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the period during which the facility is authorized to retain the client by the provisions of this Chapter, apply for an order authorizing such continued habilitation under the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section.
(b) The superintendent or his designee may seek an order authorizing continued habilitation for up to twelve months by filing a notice of such intended action to the 'Committee for Continued Habilitation Review,' which notice will be forwarded to the committee at least sixty days prior to the expiration of that period during which the client may be retained for habilitation. The 'Committee for Continued Habilitation Review' shall be established by the superintendent of each facility and shall consist of not less than five persons who meet the same requirements as those persons eligible to be members of the comprehensive evaluation team as defined in Section 88-2502. The committee may conduct its meetings with a quorum of any three members. The function of this committee shall be to review and evaluate the updated individualized program plan and to report to the superintendent or his designee its recommendations concerning the client's need for continued habilitation. No person who has responsibility for the habilitation of the individual client for whom continued habilitation is requested shall serve on any committee which reviews such individual's case.
(1) The committee shall meet to consider the request for an order within ten days after the date of the notice. Prior to the committee's meeting, the client and his repre sentatives shall be notified of the following: the purpose of such meeting, the time and place of such meeting, of their right to be present at such meeting, and of their right to present any alternative individualized program plan secured at their expense. In those cases in which the client will not or cannot appear, at least one member of the committee will make all reasonable efforts to interview the client and report to the committee. An updated individualized program plan for the client shall be presented to the committee. The committee shall report to the superintendent or his designee, other than the attending physician or a member of the committee, its written recom mendations along with any minority recommendations which may also be submitted. Such report will specify whether or not the client is a mentally retarded person requir ing continued habilitation and whether continued habilitation is the least restrictive alternative available.
(2) If after considering the committee's recommendations and minority recom mendations, if any, the superintendent or his designee, other than the attending physician or a member of the committee, determines that the client is not a mentally retarded person requiring continued habilitation, the client shall be discharged from the facility pursuant to Section 88-2508(b).
(3) If after considering the committee's recommendations and minority recom mendations, if any, the superintendent or his designee, other than the client's attend ing physician or a member of the committee, determines that the client is a mentally retarded person requiring continued habilitation, he shall, within ten days after receiv ing the committee's recommendations, serve a petition and a copy of the updated individualized program plan and committee's report on the designated office within the Georgia Department of Human Resources and serve such petition along with a copy of the updated individualized program plan on the client. A copy of the petition shall contain a plain and simple statement that the client or his representatives may file a request for a hearing with the hearing examiner within fifteen days after service of the petition by the committee and a notice that the client has a right to counsel, that the client or his representatives may apply immediately to the court to have counsel appointed if the client cannot afford counsel, and that the court will appoint counsel for the client if a hearing is so requested by the client or the representatives unless the client indicates in writing that he will have retained counsel by the time set for hearing or does not desire to be represented by counsel.
(4) If a hearing is not requested by the client or the representatives within fifteen days after service of the petition on the client and his representatives, the hearing examiner shall make an independent review of the committee's report, the updated individualized program plan and the petition. If he concludes that continued habilitation may not be necessary or if he finds any member of the committee so con cluded, then he shall order that a hearing be held pursuant to subsection (5) of this

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1979

2151

Section. If he concludes that continued habilitation is necessary, then he shall order continued habilitation for a period not to exceed one year.
(5) If a hearing is requested within fifteen days after service of the petition on the client and his representatives, or if the hearing examiner orders a hearing pursuant to subsection (4) above, the hearing examiner shall set a time and place for the hear ing to be held within twenty-five days of the time the hearing examiner receives the request, but, in any event, no later than the day on which the current order for habilitation expires. Notice of the hearing shall be served on the client and his repre sentatives. Notice shall also be given to the facility and, when appropriate, to counsel for the client. The hearing examiner, within his discretion, may grant a change of venue for the convenience of parties or witnesses. Such hearing shall be a full and fair hearing except that the client's attorney, when the client is unable to attend the hear ing and is incapable of consenting to a waiver of his appearance, may move that the client not be required to appear; however, the record shall reflect the reasons for the hearing examiner's actions. After such hearing, the hearing examiner may issue any order which the court is authorized to issue under subsection (f) of Section 88-2504, provided, the hearing examiner may order the client's continued habilitation for a period not to exceed one year subject to the power of the superintendent to discharge the client under Section 88-2508(b).

and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"88-406.5. Procedure for continued hospitalization. (a) If continued hospitalization of a patient is necessary, the chief medical officer or his designee, prior to the expiration of the period during which the treatment facility is authorized to retain the patient by the provisions of this Chapter, shall apply for an order authorizing such continued hospitalization under the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section.
(b) If the chief medical officer or his designee finds that continued hospitalization is necessary (1) for an individual who was admitted while serving a criminal sentence, but whose sentence is about to expire, or (2) for an individual who was hospitalized while under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court, but who is about to reach the age of seventeen, the chief medical officer or his designee shall apply for an order authorizing such continued hospitalization under subsection (c) of this Section and the provisions of this Chapter shall apply fully to such a patient after that time.

The 'Committee for Continued Hospitaliza tion Review' shall be established by the chief medical officer of each facility and shall consist of not less than three physicians and not less than two other persons of a profes sional status. The committee may conduct its meetings with a quorum of any three

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1979

2157

members. The function of this committee shall be to review and evaluate the updated individualized treatment plan and to report to the chief medical officer its recommenda tions concerning the patient's need for continued hospitalization. No person who has responsibility for the care and treatment of the individual patient for whom continued hospitalization is requested shall serve on any committee which reviews such individual's case.
(1) The committee shall meet to consider the request for an order within ten days of the date of the notice. Prior to the committee's meeting, the patient and his repre sentatives shall be notified of the following: The purpose of such meeting, the time and place of such meeting, of their right to be present at such meeting, and of their right to present any alternative individualized treatment plan secured at their expense. In those cases in which the patient will not or cannot appear, at least one member of the committee will make all reasonable efforts to interview the patient and report to the committee. The attending physician shall present an updated individualized treatment plan for the patient to the committee. The committee shall report to the chief medical officer or his designee, other than the attending physician or a member of the committee, its written recommendations along with any minority recommendations which may also be submitted. Such report will specify whether or not the patient is an alcoholic, drug dependent individual, or drug abuser requiring involuntary treatment and whether continued hospitalization is the least restrictive alternative available.
(2) If after considering the committee's recommendations and minority recom mendations, if any, the chief medical officer or his designee, other than the attending physician or a member of the committee, determines that the patient is not an alco holic, drug dependent individual, or drug abuser requiring involuntary treatment, the patient shall be immediately discharged from involuntary hospitalization. Such person may apply for voluntary admission subject to Code Section 88-403.5.
(3) If after considering the committee's recommendations and minority recom mendations, if any, the chief medical officer or his designee, other than the attending physician or member of the committee, determines that the patient is an alcoholic, drug dependent individual, or drug abuser requiring involuntary treatment, he shall, within ten days after receiving the committee's recommendations, serve a petition and a copy of the updated individualized treatment plan and the committee's report on the designated office within the Georgia Department of Human Resources and serve such petition along with a copy of the updated individualized treatment plan on the patient. A copy of the petition shall be served on his representatives. The petition shall contain a plain and simple statement that the patient or his representatives may file a request for a hearing with the hearing examiner within fifteen days after service of the petition by the committee, that the patient has a right to counsel, that the patient or his representatives may apply immediately to the court to have counsel appointed if the patient cannot afford counsel, and that the court will appoint counsel for the patient if a hearing is so requested by the patient or the representatives unless the patient indicates in writing that he does not desire to be represented by counsel or has made his own arrangements for counsel.
(4) If a hearing is not requested by the patient or the representatives within fif teen days of service of the petition on the patient and his representatives, the hearing examiner shall make an independent review of the committee's report, the updated individualized treatment plan and the petition. If he concludes that continued hospi talization may not be necessary or if he finds any member of the committee so con cluded, then he shall order that a hearing be held pursuant to subsection (5) of this Section. If he concludes that continued hospitalization is necessary, then he shall order continued hospitalization for a period not to exceed one year.
(5) If a hearing is requested within fifteen days of service of the petition on the patient and his representatives, or if the hearing examiner orders a hearing pursuant to subsection (4) above, the hearing examiner shall set a time and place for the hear ing to be held within twenty-five days of the time the hearing examiner receives the request, but in any event, no later than the day on which the current order of involun tary hospitalization expires. Notice of the hearing shall be served on the patient and

2158

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

his representatives. Notice shall also be given to the facility and, when appropriate, to counsel for the patient. The hearing examiner, within his discretion, may grant a change of venue for the convenience of parties or witnesses. Such hearing shall be a full and fair hearing except that the patient's attorney, when the patient is unable to attend the hearing and is incapable of consenting to a waiver of his appearance, may move that the patient not be required to appear; however, the record shall reflect the reasons for the hearing examiner's actions. After such hearing, the hearing examiner may issue any order which the court is authorized to issue under subsections (c) and (d) of Section 88-406.2, provided, the hearing examiner may order the patient's contin ued hospitalization for a period not to exceed one year subject to the power of the chief medical officer to discharge the patient under Section 88-406.6(b).
(6) The hearing examiner for a patient who was admitted under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and who reaches the age of seventeen without having had a full and fair hearing pursuant to any provisions of this Chapter or without having waived such hearing shall order that a hearing be held pursuant to subsection (5) of this Section."
Section 11. Said Code Chapter is further amended by inserting immediately follow ing Section 88-407.8 a new Section, to be designated Section 88-407.9, to read as follows:
"88-407.9. Unauthorized leave from a facility.

Section 12. 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 13. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 14. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Any person proposing to develop or offer a new institutional health service or health care facility shall, before commencing such activity, obtain a certificate of need in the manner provided in this Code Chapter and in rules and regulations promulgated by the State agency pursuant hereto, unless such activity is excluded from the provisions of this Code Chapter.
88-3312. Certificate of Need Administration. The State agency shall be responsible for administering the certificate of need program under general policy guidance of the State Health Planning and Development Commission. The Commission shall establish such procedures as it may deem reasonable to assure that the program is administered con sistently and in accordance with provisions specified herein and with the Federal Act, as amended, and regulations pursuant to that Act.
88-3313. Authority of State Agency. With advice and consent of the State Health Planning and Development Commission, the State agency shall exercise the following powers and duties with respect to certificates of need:
(a) Adopt, promulgate and implement rules and procedures sufficient to administer the certificate of need program; provided, however, the rules and regulations of said agency shall be subject to review by the General Assembly as provided by an Act approved March 10, 1964 (Ga.

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; provided, however that the State agency shall establish by regula tions the procedure for the orderly continuation of a project being developed pursuant to a valid certificate of need in the event of the death or loss of the person in whose name the certificate of need is issued. A certificate of need shall be valid for the period of time specified 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

THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1979

2371

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;

(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 recommenda

tion 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 resubmis-

sion 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

2372

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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.
(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 approved. 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, ap'pointed 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-member panel must contain at least one attorney member of the Board who shall act as Chairman of the review panel, and pro vided that one of the five-member panel must be from the applicant's congressional dis trict. The members 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 conducted 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, conclu
sions 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.

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

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 shall 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 assessment 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.

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 be administered by the State agency in a manner so as to assure continuation of Federal financial participation available to the State under 'The Community Mental Health Centers Act' (42 U.S.C. 2681 et seq.), 'The Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol ism Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation Act of 1970' (42 U.S.C. 4571 et seq.), and the 'Public Health Service Act' (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.)."

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 the appeal procedures set forth herein at Section 88-3318.
Section 4. In the event any Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

(a) A statement or item of information shall be deemed to be untrue if it does not conform to fact in any respect which is or may be significant to an enrollee of, or person considering enrollment in, a health benefits plan;
(b) A statement or item of information shall be deemed to be misleading, whether or not it may be literally untrue, if, in the total context in which such statement is made or such item of information is communicated, such statement or item of infor mation may be reasonably understood by a reasonable person, not possessing special knowledge regarding health care coverage, as indicating any benefit or advantage or the absence of any exclusion, limitation, or disadvantage of possible significance to an enrollee of, or person considering enrollment in, a health benefits plan, if such benefit or advantage or absence of limitation, exclusion or disadvantage does not in fact exist;
(c) An evidence of coverage shall be deemed to be deceptive if the evidence of cov erage taken as a whole, and with consideration given to typography and format, as well as language, shall be such as to cause a reasonable person, not possessing special knowledge regarding health benefits plans and evidences of coverage therefor, to expect benefits, services, charges, or other advantages which the evidence of coverage does not provide or which the health benefits plan issuing such evidence of coverage does not regularly make available for enrollees covered under such evidence of cover age. (2) The provisions of Chapter 56-7 of the Georgia Insurance Code applicable to 'insurers' shall apply to health maintenance organizations in this Chapter and for the purpose of determining whether a violation of Chapter 56-7 has occurred, an 'enrollee' as defined in this Chapter shall be deemed to be an 'insured' or a 'policyholder' as used in Chapter 56-7, whichever is applicable. (3) An enrollee may not be cancelled or nonrenewed except for the failure to pay the charge for such coverage, or for such other reasons as may be promulgated by the Com missioner. (4) No health maintenance organization, unless licensed as an insurer, may use in its name, contracts, or literature any of the words 'insurance,' 'casualty,' 'surety,' 'mutual,' or any other words descriptive of the insurance, casualty, or surety business or decep tively similar to the name or description of any insurance or surety corporation doing business in this State.
56-3614. Regulation of Agents. The Commissioner may, after notice and hearing, promulgate such reasonable rules and regulations as are necessary to provide for the licensing of agents.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of Title 56, an insurer may contract with a health maintenance organization to provide insurance or similar protection against the cost of care provided through health maintenance organizations and to provide coverage in the event of the failure of the health maintenance organization to meet its obligations. The enrollees of a health maintenance organization constitute a permissible group under this Title. Among other things, under such contracts, the insurer may make benefit pay ments to health maintenance organizations for health care services rendered by providers pursuant to the health benefits plan.
56-8616. Examinations. (1) Whenever the Commissioner shall deem it expedient, but not less than once every 3 years, he or his designee shall visit and examine the transactions, accounts, records, documents and financial affairs ef- accounts, financial records and documents of any health maintenance organization and of the providers with whom such organization has contracts, agreements, or other arrangements pursuant to its health benefits plan and in connection therewith the Commissioner shall also have the authority to conduct an examination into the market conduct of the health maintenance organization. (2) Whenever the Commissioner of Human Resources shall deem it expedient, but not less than once every five years, he or his designee shall visit and examine all matters relating to the quality of health care services of any health maintenance organization and providers with whom such organization has contracts, agreements, or other arrange ments pursuant to its health benefits plan as often as he deems it necessary for the pro tection of the interests of the people of this State. (3) Every health maintenance organization, its officers, employees, representatives and providers shall produce and make freely accessible to the Commissioner or the Com missioner of Human Resources the accounts, records, documents and files in its posses sion or control relating to the subject of the examination. Such officers, employees, representatives and providers shall facilitate such examination and aid the examiners as far as it is in their power in making the examination. (4) The Commissioner or his designee shall make a full written report of each exami nation made by him containing only facts ascertained from the accounts, records, and documents examined and from the sworn testimony of witness. (5) The report shall be certified by the Commissioner or by the examiner in charge of the examination and when so certified and, after filing as provided in subsection (6) hereof, shall be admissible in evidence in any proceeding brought by the Commissioner against HMO the health maintenance organization examined or any officer or agent of HMO the health maintenance organization and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. (6) The Commissioner shall furnish a copy of the proposed report to the HMO health maintenance organization examined not less than twenty (20) days prior to filing the report. If such HMO health maintenance organization so requests in writing within such twenty (20) day period, or such longer period as the Commissioner may grant, the Com missioner shall grant a hearing with respect to the report, and shall not so file the report until after the hearing and such modifications have been made therein as the Commis sioner may deem proper. (7) The Commissioner may withhold from public inspection the report of any exami nation or investigation for so long as he deems it to be in the public interest or neces sary to protect the HMO health maintenance organization examined from unwarranted
injury. (8) After the report has been filed, the Commissioner may publish the report or the
results thereof in one or more newspapers published in this State if he should deem it
to be in the public interest. (9) The HMO health maintenance organization so examined shall pay, at the direction
of the Commissioner, all the actual travel and living expenses of such examination. When the examination is made by an examiner who is not a regular employee of the

THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1979

2387

Department, the HMO health maintenance organization examined shall pay the proper charges for the services of the examiner and his assistants in an amount approved by the Commissioner. A consolidated account for the examination shall be filed by the examiner with the Commissioner. No HMO health maintenance organization or other entity shall pay and no examiner shall accept any additional emolument on account of any examination. When the examination is conducted in whole or in part by regular sal aried employees of the Insurance Department, payment for such services and proper expenses shall be made by the HMO health maintenance organization examined to the Commissioner, and such payment shall be deposited with the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services.
56-3617. Suspension or Revocation of Certificate of Authority. (1) The Commissioner may suspend or revoke any certificate of authority issued to a health maintenance organization under this Chapter if he finds that any of the follow ing conditions exist:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

until changed as provided in this Section. Should the Commission fail or refuse to issue such order by the 45th day after the utility's filing, the base rates proposed by the util ity shall thereupon be deemed adopted by operation of law.
(f) Each utility shall compute, record and report to the Commission monthly the most current data available snowing the monthly and accumulated over or under recov ery of actual fuel costs resulting from application of its base rates.
(g) Each base rate amendment shall include an adjustment based on actual expense to date in order that the accumulated retail fuel costs of the utility shall equal, as nearly as possible, the revenues recovered pursuant to the fuel recovery allowance contained in its base rates. The resulting adjustment in the charge, if any, shall be made to the near est one ten-thousandth of a cent (O.OOOlit) per kilowatt hour.
(h) The Commission shall disallow, and make appropriate adjustment for, any reported fuel cost that is the result of illegal or clearly imprudent conduct on the part of the utility.
(i) All Commission orders issued pursuant to this Section shall contain the Commis sion's findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the Commission's action is based. Such order shall be deemed a final order subject to judicial review under the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.
(j) The Commission shall not prohibit or limit the operation of a rate schedule or other tariff of a utility to the extent it permits rate increases or decreases to adjust for increased or decreased purchased power costs, where such increased or decreased pur chased power costs shall have become effective under the procedures of a federal regula tory agency or under a contract approved by a federal regulatory agency. Any subsequent refunds received by any such utility with respect to any such increased pur chased power costs which become effective under procedures of a federal regulatory agency, or otherwise, shall be refunded by the utility to its customers in the manner directed by the Commission.
(k) In filing any estimate of fuel costs under subsection (c) of this Section, each util ity shall disclose the name and address of each person, firm or corporation from whom the utility expects to purchase fuel, or the transportation of fuel, during the period cov ered by such estimate.

It shall be the duty of the Commission to make public at each public hearing held pursuant to subsec tion (d) of this Section any information disclosed by a utility pursuant to the require ments of this subsection. It shall constitute a financial interest within the meaning of this subsection:
(1) For any member of the board of directors of the utility to be a member of the board of directors of a corporation supplying fuel, or transporting fuel, to the utility;
(2) For any member of the board of directors of the utility to be the proprietor of, or a partner in, any business supplying fuel, or transporting fuel, to the utility; or
(3) For any member of the board of directors of the utility or the utility to own ten percent or more of the stock of any corporation supplying fuel, or transporting fuel, to the utility."

A BILL
To provide, from State appropriations, funds as grants to local public school systems for educational purposes; to provide for the allocation of funds to each school system; to provide procedures; to require certain tax bills to contain specified information; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. 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 Act to provide such funds in an appropriate manner so as to afford local school systems the opportunity and needed encouragement 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 commitment to the growth and quality of the public schools, and their worthy educational programs, in this State.
Section 2. 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 3. (a) In any year in which the General Assembly shall provide through a Required Local Effort Credit Appropriation for Education by line item appropriation, and with reference to this Act, funds for grants to the school systems of this State, such grants shall be allotted to each school system pro rata according to the ratio which the average daily attendance of the particular system bears to the average daily attendance of the entire public school system of the State.
(b) For the purposes of this Act, the term "average daily attendance" shall mean the number of pupils in average daily attendance in grades from kindergarten through twelve, including special education students, for the first four months of the school year immedi ately preceding that calendar year in which the grant is made available. For the initial year in which a grant shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Act, "average daily attendance" shall mean the number of pupils in average daily attendance in grades one through twelve, including special education students, for the first four months of the school year in the immediately preceding calendar year.
Section 4. Computation to Be Shown on Tax Bill, (a) No local public school system shall be entitled to receive any of the funds provided for in this Act unless the system directs that a computation be shown on each tax bill for school ad valorem taxes other than motor vehicle and trailer tax bills.
(b) The computation provided for in subsection (a) shall show the following: (1) The mill rate which the school system would have been required to levy, or
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."

THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1979

2435

(2) As a subtraction from the mill rate determined pursuant to paragraph (1), a mill rate which, if applied against the tangible property in the school district, would produce tax revenue equal to the amount of the grant received in that year by the school district pursuant to 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." (c) It is the purpose of this Section to provide in a demonstrable fashion to each ad valorem taxpayer of that tangible property provided for in subsection (a) information which will enable the taxpayer to readily ascertain the amount of additional State funds which is being made available to that local school system in which the taxpayer's property is being taxed. Additionally, each such taxpayer by the provisions of this Section will be in the position to be informed as to what purposes the officials in charge of the local school system and its finances have devoted the use of such funds. If a local school system has received funds which have been made available by the General Assembly pursuant to this Act but has not reduced local property taxes levied in behalf of the school system, each taxpayer will be so informed. On the other hand, if the receipt of additional State funds has enabled the local school system to reduce local property taxes by a correspond ing sum to that received under this Act, or any fraction thereof, the taxpayer will be so advised.
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.

At the request of any individual, the judge or clerk may prepare the statement of claim and other papers required to be filed in an action.
(a) A copy of the verified statement of claim, together with a notice of hearing in the form hereinafter prescribed, shall be served on the defendant, and such service shall be sufficient to give the court jurisdiction in the premises. Service of said notice shall be made only within the county. Said service shall be made by any official or person author ized by law to serve process in the superior court, by a duly qualified bailiff of the small claims court, by registered or certified mail with receipt, or by any person not a party to or otherwise interested in the suit, who is specially appointed by the judge of said court for that purpose.
(b) When notice is to be served by registered or certified mail, the clerk or the judge shall enclose a copy of the statement of claim, the verification and the notice in an enve lope addressed to the defendant at his last known address, prepay the postage from monies collected for that purpose and mail the same forthwith, noting the date and hour of mailing on the record.

When the judgment is to be rendered and the party against whom it is to be entered requests it, the judge shall inquire fully into the earnings and financial status of such party and shall have full discretionary power to stay the entry of judgment, to stay execution and to order partial payments in such amounts, over such periods and upon such terms as shall seem just under the circumstances and as will assure a definite and steady reduction of the judgment until it is finally and completely satisfied.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(1) Where the rights of the parent(s) or the guardian(s) of the child have been sur rendered or terminated in accordance with provisions of Code Section 74-403(a)(l), the Department of Human Resources, or a licensed child-placing agency, may file a petition 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 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."

(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.

Should the court determine that further inquiry is in order, the court shall direct the district attorney for the county to review the matter further and take such appropriate action as the district attorney in his discretion deems appropriate."
Section 11. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking subsection (b) of Code Section 74-412 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) If the court is satisfied that the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the child has surren dered or had terminated all his rights to said child in the manner provided by law prior to the filing of the petition for adoption, or that the petitioner(s) has satisfied his bur den of proof under the provisions of Code Section 74-405, and that the petitioner(s) is capable of assuming responsibility for the care, supervision, training, and education of the child, and that the child is suitable for adoption in a private family home and that the adoption requested is for the best interest of the child, it shall enter a decree of adoption, terminating all the rights of the parent(s) or guardian(s) to said child, granting the permanent custody of the child to the petitioner(s), naming the child as prayed for in the petition, and declaring said child to be the adopted child of the petitioner(s).

The following Senate substitute was read:

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1979

2523

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 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 or both 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.

2524

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(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 for either the acquisition or rehabilitation or both of housing in the large municipalities of the State and the creation of public corporations and instrumentalities of the State is the most fea sible method by which the State can accomplish the aforesaid public purposes.

ing 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

The publicly supported hospitals providing such health care are frequently not reimbursed for the costs thereby incurred, which either increases the tax burden of citizens supporting such hospitals or increases the charges made to paying patients or causes a combination of both types of such increases. It is the purpose of this Chapter to recognize and provide for the State's responsibility to assist in the payment of cost of care for nonresident indigent patients by providing procedures for the reimbursement from State funds of such costs.
88-2302A. Definitions, (a) As used in this Chapter, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the following words or terms shall have the following meanings:
(1) 'Commissioner' means the Commissioner of the Department of Human Resources.
(2) 'Department' means the Department of Human Resources. (3) 'Fund' means the Nonresident Indigent Health Care Fund created by Section 88-2304A of this Chapter. (4) 'Hospital authority' means a hospital authority created pursuant to Code Chap ter 88-18, known as the 'Hospital Authorities Law.'

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.

Determination of Habitual Violators, (a) When the records of the Depart ment disclose that any person has been convicted of a violation of Georgia Code Title 68A or of a valid local ordinance adopted pursuant thereto, of an offense occurring on or after the effective date of this Act, which record of conviction, when taken with, and added to, the previous convictions of such person of offenses occurring within 5 years prior to the date of such offenses, as contained in the files of the Department, shall reveal that said person is an habitual violator, as hereinafter defined in this Section, the Department shall forthwith notify such person that upon the date of notification such person has been declared by the Department to be an habitual violator, and that hence forth it shall be unlawful for said habitual violator to operate a motor vehicle in this State unless otherwise provided in this Code Section. Notice shall be given by certified mail, with return receipt requested; or in lieu thereof notice may be given by personal service upon such person. In the event that at the time of determination the habitual violator had been issued a driver's license, such license shall be thereby revoked and shall be surrendered to the Department within 10 days of notification of such determi nation. For the purposes of this Title, notice given by certified mail with return receipt requested mailed to the person's last known address shall be prima facie evidence that such person received the required notice.
(b) As used in this Section, 'habitual violator' means any person who has been con victed in any of the United States:
1. Three or more times of: (A) voluntary or involuntary manslaughter resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle; (B) homicide by vehicle in first or second degree; (C) violating Article IX of Title 68A of the Georgia Code (Uniform Rules of the Road) or of violating the law of any other state, or of a valid municipal or county ordinance substantially conforming to an offense in said Article IX; (D) operating a vehicle after cancellation, suspension, or revocation of his operator's license under the provisions of any law of this State, or of any other state, or of a valid municipal or county ordinance, substantially conforming to or paralleling the laws of Georgia; (E) the making of a false affidavit to the Department or under any other law of the State requiring the registration of motor vehicles or regulating their operation on the high ways, or the making of false statement to the Department on any application for an operator's license; (F) using a fraudulent or fictitious license; (G) while in a motor vehicle, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer; (H) any crime punishable as a felony under this Title or any other felony in the commission of which a motor vehi cle is used; (I) failure to stop and disclose his identity at the scene of the accident, on the part of a driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident resulting in damage to the property of another, or resulting in the death of, injury to, another person; or (J) singularly or in combination of any of the offenses hereinabove described in sub sections (b)l(A) through (b)l(I) both inclusive; or
2. Fifteen or more times of moving traffic offenses as contained in Title 68A of the Georgia Code including those covered in (b)(l) of this subsection, or in the law of any other state, or in a valid municipal or county ordinance, substantially conforming to or paralleling a similar law of Georgia, which offenses are required to be reported to the Department, and the commission of which offenses, singularly or in combination with any other offense or offenses, statutorily requires the cancellation, suspension, or revocation of an operator's license by the Department, or the commission of which offenses singularly or in combination with any other offense or offenses, authorizes a court or the Department to impose suspension or revocation of a driver's license.
(c) Except as provided in subsection (e), it ft shall be unlawful for any person to operate any motor vehicle in this State after such person has received notice that his driver's license has been revoked, as provided in subsection (a), and who thereafter has not obtained a valid driver's license. Any person declared to be an habitual violator and whose driver's license has been revoked under the provisions of this Section who is thereafter convicted of operating a motor vehicle, while his license is so revoked, may,

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2765

upon such conviction, be punished by confinement in the penitentiary not less than one nor more than five years.
(d) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of an Act approved February 1, 1946 (Ga. Laws 1946, pp. 1-142, Ga. Code Ann. Section 27-1410), for the purposes of this Section, any plea of nolo contendere entered and accepted after the effective date of this Title shall be considered a conviction.
(e) (1) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section or any other sec tions of this Title, any person who has been declared an habitual violator and who has had his driver's license revoked under the provisions of subsection (a) for a period of two years and two years have expired since the date on which such person's license was surrendered or an affidavit was accepted as provided in Code Section 68B-313(d) may be issued a probationary driver's license upon compliance with the following con ditions:
(A) Such person has not been convicted, or pleads nolo contendere to a charge, of violating any provision of this Code Title or any local ordinance relating to the movement of vehicles for a period of two years immediately preceding the applica tion for a probationary driver's license.
(B) Such person has not been convicted, or pleads nolo contendere to a charge, of a violation of any provision of this Code Title which resulted in the death or
injury of any individual. (C) Such person has successfully completed, within six months prior to the issu
ance of the probationary driver's license, a driver improvement program or course, or alcohol or drug treatment course or program, or both, designated by the Depart ment of Public Safety.
(D) Submit proof of financial responsibility as provided in Code Title 68C. (E) Refusal to issue a probationary driver's license would cause extreme hard ship to the applicant. For the purposes of this Section, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot reasonably obtain other transportation, and, therefore, the
applicant would be prohibited from: (i) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his
occupation; (ii) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs; or (iii) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a
student. (2) Application for probationary driver's license shall be made upon such forms as the Commissioner may prescribe. Such forms shall require such information as is necessary for the Department to determine the need for such license. All applications shall be signed by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths. (3) Upon compliance with the conditions and the payment of a $20.00 fee, such person may be issued a probationary driver's license by the Department. (4) A probationary driver's license shall be endorsed with such conditions as the Commissioner deems necessary to insure that such license will be used by the licensee only to avoid the conditions of extreme hardship. Such conditions may include the fol
lowing restrictions: (A) Specific places between which the licensee may be allowed to operate a
motor vehicle; (B) Routes to be followed by the licensee; (C) Times of travel; (D) The specific vehicles which the licensee may operate; and (E) Such other restrictions as the Department may require.
(5) A probationary driver's license issued pursuant to this Section shall become invalid upon the expiration of the period of the suspension or revocation of the driver's license of such person.
(6) (A) Any person violating the provisions of subsection (e)(4) or operating a vehicle in violation of any conditions specified in this subsection shall be guilty of a mis demeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished as for a misdemeanor.
(B) Any probationary licensee who is convicted of violating, or who pleads nolo contendere to a charge of violating, any State law or local ordinance relating to the

2766

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

movement of vehicles, or any probationary licensee who is convicted of violating^ or who pleads nolo contendere to a charge of violating, the conditions endorsed on his license, shall have his license revoked by the Department, and any court in which such conviction is had or in which said nolo contendere plea is accepted shall require the licensee to surrender the license to the court, and the court shall~for^ ward same to the Department, within 10 days after the conviction or acceptance of the plea, with a copy of the conviction.
(C) If the Commissioner has reason to believe, or makes a preliminary finding, that the requirements of the public safety or welfare outweigh the individual needs of a person for a probationary license, the Commissioner in his discretion, after affording the person notice and an opportunity to be heard, may refuse to issue the license under the provisions of this subsection.
(D) Any person whose probationary driver's license has been revoked shall not be eligible to apply for a subsequent probationary license under this Section for a period of five years. (7) Any person whose probationary license has been revoked or who has been refused a probationary license by the Department may make a request in writing for a hearing to be provided by the Department. Such hearing shall be provided by the Department within 30 days after the receipt of such request, and shall follow the procedures required by the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act. Appeal from such hearing shall be in accordance with the provisions of said Act."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1979.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL
To amend Code Chapter 93-5, relating to hearings before the Georgia Public Service Commission, as amended, so as to provide that the Georgia Public Service Commission, as well as its employees and agents as directed by the commission, may take depositions and obtain discovery; to provide procedures for obtaining discovery; to provide sanctions; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 93-5, relating to hearings before the Georgia Public Service Commission, as amended, is hereby amended by striking Code Section 93-508, relating to the deposition of witnesses, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 93-508, to read as follows:
"93-508. Discovery rights of the Georgia Public Service Commission. In any case pend ing before the commission, the Public Service Commission, in addition to its now exist ing authority to do so, is hereby authorized to issue an order permitting the taking of depositions and otherwise obtaining discovery by the commission's employees and agents of any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in any investigation, proceeding, or petition before the Public Service Commission in the same manner prescribed by law for discovery in civil actions in the superior courts of this State. The Georgia Public Service Commission, as well as its agents and employees as directed by the commission, is hereby authorized to petition the Superior Court of Fulton County, and the judges and clerks thereof are hereby authorized to issue all orders, injunctions, subpoenas, and to take all actions necessary to carry out the provi sions of this Code Section which would otherwise be authorized or necessary under Ga. Code Title 81A, the Georgia Civil Practice Act. In addition to the sanctions which may be imposed under Code Section 81A-137, the Superior Court of Fulton County is here with further authorized to extend the period of suspension of the operation of any new schedules and defer the use of such rates, charges, classifications, or service, beyond the time now authorized by Code Section 93-307.1 if the court, upon application of the Public Service Commission, determines that the failure of any regulated utility to com ply with a discovery request of the Public Service Commission, its agents, or employees as directed by the commission is unreasonable and requires such extension. No such extension of the period of suspension shall be considered by the court unless the utility has failed completely to respond to a valid deposition or discovery request. Any applica tion or petition made by the Public Service Commission, its agents, or employees as directed by the commission, pursuant to this Code Section shall be heard within twenty days of the filing of the application or petition, irrespective of whether any response to the application or petition has previously been made, and shall be disposed of promptly."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The General Assembly recog nizes that a majority of these experienced attorneys will be forty to fifty years of age at the time they assume office. Recognizing the fact that such persons are older and more experienced than the average government employee at the time of first assuming office, the General Assembly is providing for a shorter period of actual service in order to qualify for benefits under the provisions of this Act. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Act to reward those citizens of Georgia for their actual service as members of the judicial branch of State government."

"(e) 'Creditable service' means (1) service performed as a contributing member of the Fund after June 30, 1968,

court when employer and employee contributions for such prior service are paid into said Fund as provided for in this Act; and
(3) service performed as a contributing member of the Fund after June 30, 1972, while a juvenile court judge; and
(4) creditable service obtained pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 16 of this Act."

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2805

"Section 3. (a) There is hereby created the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund which shall be administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retire ment System of Georgia; provided, however, that only for the purpose of administering said Fund, one State court judge, one State court solicitor and one juvenile court judge shall be ex officio members of the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement Sys tem and shall be elected as hereinafter provided.
(b) (1) The ex officio member who shall be a juvenile court judge shall be elected annually by the Georgia Council of Juvenile Court Judges.

Section 5. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 13 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 13, to read as follows:
"Section 13.

Section 6. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 14 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 14, to read as follows:
"Section 14. (a) The employee contributions with respect to judges and solicitors of inferior courts who are compensated by salaries paid by the governmental units paying the costs of the operation of said courts shall be seven and one-half percent of the amount of such salaries.

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2807

Fund for such prior service. Judges of the juvenile courts may receive credit in said Fund for service as judges of the juvenile courts prior to July 1, 1972, by the payment, by such judge, of employer and employee contributions into the Fund for such prior ser vice. Said contributions for such prior service may be paid into said Fund at a rate not to exceed payment for one year's prior service for each year as a contributing member of said Fund, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section. The basis for employer and employee contributions to said Fund for receiving any credit for prior service shall be the compensation received by such judge or solicitor or juvenile court judge applying for prior service at the time such application is submitted.
(b) Judges and solicitors of inferior courts may receive credit in said Fund for prior service as members of the General Assembly and prior service as State employees by the payment by such judge or solicitor, of employer and employee contributions into the Fund for such prior service. Said contributions for such prior service may be paid into said Fund at a rate not to exceed payment for one year's prior service for each year as a contributing member of said Fund, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section. The basis for employer and employee contributions to said Fund for receiving any credit for prior service shall be the compensation which would have been received at the time by such judge or solicitor if he had been serving as a judge or solic itor in the office to which he was elected or appointed during the period he was a State employee or a member of the General Assembly. Actual compensation received by the judge or solicitor shall be the basis for employer and employee contributions to said Fund if the court was not in existence during the time he was a State employee or member of the General Assembly.
(c) The governmental units paying the costs of the operation of said courts are hereby authorized, but not required, to pay any part or all employer contributions for such prior service, and said governmental units are hereby authorized to expend public funds for such purpose as a part of the costs of operation of such courts. The payment of employer contributions for any such prior service shall not be paid from State funds in any case. The Board may accept payment into the Fund, at the rate herein specified, of the necessary amount for any such prior service up to the total amount for all actual prior service. Credit for prior service gained in accordance with the provisions of this Act shall be creditable service for determining eligibility for retirement, but retirement benefits shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 18 and 19 of this Act.
(d) In the event a contributing member who is eligible for credit for prior service has reached retirement age, or early retirement age, as provided in Sections 18 and 19 of this Act, but does not have the minimum creditable service for retirement, as provided in said Sections, such member may, at his election, pay into said Fund, at any time after becoming a contributing member, employee and employer contributions for all actual prior service in order to qualify for a monthly retirement benefit.
(e) In the event a contributing member who is eligible for credit for prior service ceases to hold a position or office covered by said Fund, such member may elect to pay into said Fund employee and employer contributions for all actual prior service in order to qualify for a monthly retirement benefit upon reaching retirement age or early retire ment age; provided, however, such member shall be required to make the election within thirty days after ceasing to hold a position or office covered by said Fund whether or not he will pay into said Fund said employee and employer contributions for such prior service authorized by this Act, and said member shall be required to make the necessary payments into said Fund for employee and employer contributions for such prior service within six months after ceasing to hold a position or office covered by said Fund. In the event such member fails to make such election within said thirty days or in the event such member fails to make the necessary payments into the Fund within said six months, such member shall cease to be a member of said Fund and may withdraw the total sum with interest which he has paid into the Fund, but he shall not be eligible at any time after such withdrawal to become a member of said Fund."
Section 9. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 17 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 17, to read as follows:

2808

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"Section 17. Judges and solicitors of inferior courts who are members of the Employ ees' Retirement System or the Georgia Legislative Retirement System may transfer their accumulated employer and employee contributions from the Employees' Retirement Sys tem or the Georgia Legislative Retirement System to the Fund and shall receive credit in the Fund for all service as a contributing member of the Employees' Retirement Sys tem or the Georgia Legislative Retirement System. Any such judge or solicitor desiring to transfer from the Employees' Retirement System or the Georgia Legislative Retire ment System to the Fund must make application to the Board for such transfer within ninety days after June 30, 1979. Any such judge or solicitor failing to make such applica tion within said ninety days shall not at any later time be eligible to become a member of the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund."
Section 10. Said Act is further amended by striking Sections 18, 19 and 20 in their entirety and inserting in lieu thereof new Sections 18, 19 and 20, to read as follows:
"Section 18. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any member who has attained the age of seventy years who fails to retire effective on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding that in which he attains the age of seventy years shall forfeit his right to receive any retirement or disability benefits under the provisions of this Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, a member who held office as a juvenile court judge or as a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts on July 1, 1979, shall not be required to retire, regardless of his age, according to the provisions of this subsection.
(b) The maximum retirement benefits shall be based on sixteen years of creditable service and the attainment of age sixty-five or thirty years of creditable service. After completing such years of service, and upon attaining age sixty-five, a member shall be entitled to retire and receive a monthly retirement benefit equal to two-thirds of the monthly salary being paid to the member as hereinafter provided. The monthly salary on which retirement benefits shall be based shall be the monthly salary paid to the member at the time of retirement of said member with less than sixteen years of credit able service or the monthly salary paid to said member at the time of completion of sixteen years of creditable service for a member with sixteen or more years of creditable service. After obtaining sixteen years of creditable service, a member shall cease making employee contributions to the Retirement Fund created by this Act.
Section 19. (a) In lieu of retirement at the maximum benefits as provided by subsec tion (b) of Section 18 of this Act, a member may retire at any time after attaining age sixty and after obtaining a minimum of ten years of creditable service, and the monthly retirement benefit for such early retirement shall be a percentage of the maximum retirement benefits provided by subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act. The percentage shall be computed by comparing the number of actual years of service as a juvenile court judge or a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts with the figure sixteen. The retirement benefits will be further reduced at the rate of five percent per annum for each year that retirement precedes age sixty-five.
(b) A member may retire pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act or pur suant to subsection (a) of this Section by making written application to the Board of Trustees setting forth at what time, not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days subsequent to the filing of such application, he desires to be retired.
Section 20. After obtaining a minimum of four years' creditable service, any member who shall become totally and permanently disabled to the extent that he is unable to perform the duties of his office shall be entitled to receive a disability retirement benefit which shall be one-half of the maximum retirement benefits provided by subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act, unless the member would qualify for greater benefits under subsection (a) of Section 19 of this Act, in which event that subsection would apply. The disability of any member applying for disability retirement benefits shall be determined by the Board in the same manner and under the same procedure as disability of State employees is determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Act estab lishing the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, approved February 3, 1949 (Ga.

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e) of Section 16, if a member ceases to hold office as a juvenile court judge or a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts, he may withdraw the total sum, with interest, at the rate of six percent per annum, which he has paid into the Fund, but he shall not be eligible at any time after such withdrawal to become a member of the Fund, unless such member shall at a later date hold office as a juvenile court judge or a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts, in which event he shall be reinstated into the Fund in the same manner as if he had never before been a member of the Fund. Any such reinstated member shall have the privilege of reestablishing any prior creditable service by making reimbursement of the amount withdrawn plus interest within sixty days of the certification of such amount by the Board of Trustees."

The governing authority of each county shall be author ized to deduct monthly the employee contributions required herein for spouses' benefits.
(b) If a member subject to this Section, who has attained a minimum of ten years of creditable service, dies, the surviving spouse of such member shall be entitled to receive for life or until the remarriage of such surviving spouse a monthly sum equal to fifty percent of the retirement benefit which the member was receiving at the time of his death, if retired at such time, or which would have been payable to the member had he retired as of the date of his death or, if the member had not attained age sixty at the time of his death, fifty percent of the retirement benefit the member would have received had he lived and retired at age sixty.
(c) Any juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts becoming a member of the Fund pursuant to Section 8 of this Act, who does not reject spouses' ben efits as provided by subsection (e) hereof shall pay to the Board, by not later than December 31, 1979, employee contributions at the rate specified by subsection (a) of this Section, plus interest thereon at the rate of six percent per annum, for all years of ser vice as a juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts on the basis of the salary paid to him at the time the service was rendered.
(d) Any member of the Fund who rejects spouses' benefits coverage, or who ceases such coverage pursuant to subsection (j) of this Section, because such member was unmarried at the time of such rejection or because such member's spouse died or because such member ceased to be married shall have the option to elect spouses' bene fits within sixty days after becoming married or remarried, as the case may be. Any member so electing must make the necessary contributions for spouses' benefits coverage for a total of at least ten years in order for such member's spouse to qualify for the spouses' benefits provided for by this Section.

Any juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts wishing to reject such benefits who subsequently becomes a member of the Fund shall notify the Board of such rejection within sixty days after becoming a member of the Fund.
(f) It shall be the duty of the Board to notify juvenile court judges and judges and solicitors of the inferior courts who are subject to the provisions of this Act of the requirements of this Section.
(g) Should there not be a surviving spouse of a member covered by this Section or if a member not covered by this Section should die before retirement, the amount of

2810

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

accumulated contributions made by such member, with interest thereon, shall be paid to his surviving spouse, if any, or to the living person, if any, nominated by written des ignation of the member duly executed and filed with the Board of Trustees, otherwise to the member's estate.
(h) This Section shall not be construed to require the payment of the additional employee contribution of two and one-half percent for service as a juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts rendered prior to December 31, 1979, except for those judges and solicitors subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section.
(i) When a member elects to obtain spouses' benefits as provided herein and such member attains sixteen years of creditable service for regular retirement pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act, such member shall continue to make employee contributions required herein for spouses' benefits until such time as such member attains sixteen years of creditable service for the purpose of spouses' benefits.
(j) If the spouse of a member dies or if a member ceases to be married, then such member who has elected to obtain spouses' benefits pursuant to this Section may cease making the employee contributions for spouses' benefits required herein. Such member shall notify the Board of Trustees in writing to cease deducting such employee contribu tions within sixty days after the date of the death of the spouse or after the date the member ceases to be married, and upon such notification, no further deductions shall be made. When a member ceases to make such employee contributions as provided herein, there shall be no return of such contributions previously made by such member; provided, however, that if such member shall at a later date again become married, in which event all prior credit or employee contributions under this Section may be rein stated and the member making same shall have the privilege of reestablishing any prior creditable service by establishing eligibility of the new spouse as provided in this Section and giving proper notice to the Board of Trustees of his desire to reinstate same, paying all contributions which would have been due and payable under the provisions of this Section during the interim period between marriages, with proper interest thereon, and making all future payments as herein provided."

"Section 23A.

Section 14. This Act shall be effective for administrative purposes on July 1, 1979. For all other purposes, this Act shall become effective on December 31, 1979.
Section 15. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

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.

(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 the denial of an application for a certificate of need for a new institutional health service proposed to be offered or developed:
(1) by a minority-administered hospital facility serving a socially and economically disadvantaged minority population in an urban setting, or
(2) by a minority-administered hospital facility utilized for the training of minority medical practitioners, would adversely impact upon the facility and population served by said facility, the spe cial needs of such hospital facility and the population served by said facility for the new institutional health service shall be given consideration by the State agency in making its determination of need as required by subsection (c) of this Code Section. The State agency shall have the authority to vary or modify strict adherence to the provisions of this Code Chapter and the regulations enacted pursuant thereto in consid ering the special needs of said facility and its population served and to avoid an adverse impact on the facility and the population served thereby. For purposes of this subsec tion, the term 'minority-administered hospital facility' means a hospital controlled and operated by a governing body and administrative staff composed predominantly of mem bers of a minority race. 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 recommenda tion shall be to approve or deny 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.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(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.
(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-member panel must contain at least one attorney member of the Board who shall act as Chairman of the review panel, and pro vided that one of the five-member panel must be from the applicant's congressional dis trict. The members of the Board shall be compensated at a reasonable amount set by the Governor for time spent considering such hearings. The five-member panel shall base its decision upon the considerations set forth in this Act. The decision of the fivemember panel of the State Health Planning Review Board shall be the final agency deci sion for purposes of the Administrative Procedure Act. Except as herein provided, the hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the 'Georgia Administra tive 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, conclu sions 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:

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2819

(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 good cause, as determined by the State agency, may be exempt from this provision based on rules adopted by the State agency. Transfers 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. (b)(l) Any person who knowingly offers or develops any new institutional health ser vice within the meaning of this Code Chapter without first having been issued a certif icate of need or in violation of the terms of such certificate of need, shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000.
(2) The director of the State agency, after a hearing, 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 shall 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 assessment 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 of 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

agencies; (4) offices of private physicians or dentists whether for individual or group prac
tice; (5) Christian Science sanatoriums operated or listed and certified by the First
Church of Christ Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts; (6) site acquisitions for health care facilities or health maintenance organizations; (7) expenditures related to adequate preparation and development of an applica

need; and

2820

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(9) expenditures by a health care facility for capital improvements or health ser vices which are required to render such facility in compliance with the requirements of State or Federal law and/or regulations. (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 be administered by the State agency in a manner so as to assure continuation of Federal financial participation available to the State under 'The Community Mental Health Centers Act' (42 U.S.C. 2681 et seq.), 'The Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol ism Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation Act of 1970' (42 U.S.C. 4571 et seq.), and the 'Public Health Service Act' (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.)."
Section 3. This Act shall not apply to any project which has received approval under the Section 1122 program, P. L. 92-603, prior to the effective date of this Act, so long as the applicant with regard to such project incurs a financial obligation prior to the expira tion of the approval for the project under the 1122 program. In addition, this Act shall not apply to any project for which application has been made under the Section 1122 pro gram prior to the effective date of this Act. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, from and after the effective date of this Act, the review considerations and appeal procedures set forth herein at Sections 88-3316 and 88-3318, respectively, shall apply to and govern the review of capital expenditures under the Section 1122 program, including, but not limited to, any application for approval under Section 1122 which is under consideration or on appeal as of the effective date of this Act. Any such application on appeal as of the effective date of this Act shall be remanded to the State agency for de novo review consist ent with the considerations set forth herein at Section 88-3316 and for treatment under the appeal procedures set forth herein at Section 88-3318.
Section 4. In the event any Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1979.
Section 6. The "Long-Term Health Care Facility Act", approved March 25, 1974 (Ga. Laws 1974, p. 621), as amended, is hereby repealed.
Section 7. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

A BILL
To amend an Act permitting drivers' licenses to be deposited as bail on arrest for cer tain traffic offenses, approved April 13, 1973 (Ga. Laws 1973, p. 435), as amended, so as to change the provisions relating to the allowance of the use of drivers' licenses as bail in arrests for violation of certain traffic laws; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflict ing laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act permitting drivers' licenses to be deposited as bail on arrest for certain traffic offenses, approved April 13, 1973 (Ga. Laws 1973, p. 435), as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of the first sentence, following the word "officer", the following:
"; provided, however, that any such person who is arrested by an officer for the viola tion of a traffic law or traffic ordinance, except any offense for which a license may be suspended by the Commissioner of Public Safety for a first offense, shall be entitled to deposit his chauffeur's or driver's license with the judicial officer or officer now author ized to accept cash bonds in lieu of bail", so that when so amended, Section 1 shall read as follows:
"Section 1. Any other laws of the State of Georgia to the contrary notwithstanding, any person who is arrested by an officer for the violation of a traffic law or traffic ordi nance, except any offense for which a license may be suspended by the Commissioner of Public Safety for a first offense, upon being served with the official summons issued by such arresting officer, in lieu of being immediately brought before the proper magis trate, recorder or other judicial officer to enter into a formal recognizance or make direct the deposit of a proper sum of money in lieu of a recognizance ordering incarceration, may, upon agreement with the arresting officer, deposit his chauffeur's or driver's license with the apprehending officer in lieu of bail, in lieu of entering into a recognizance for his appearance for trial as set in the aforesaid summons or being incarcerated by the arresting officer and held for further action by the appropriate judicial officer; provided, however, that any such person who is arrested by an officer for the violation of a traffic law or traffic ordinance, except any offense for which a license may be suspended by the Commissioner of Public Safety for a first offense, shall be entitled to deposit his

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2825

chauffeur's or driver's license with the judicial officer or officer now authorized to accept cash bonds in lieu of bail. A receipt for such license or deposit shall be given to such person by the arresting officer, and thereafter said person shall be permitted to use the receipt to operate a motor vehicle upon the highways of this State during the pendency of the case in which the license was deposited, unless his license or privilege is otherwise revoked, suspended or cancelled; provided, however, that such receipt shall in no event be valid for more than 45 days. The summons duly served as herein provided shall give the judicial officer jurisdiction to dispose of the matter.
Upon receipt of the license as bail, the officer may release the person so charged as above provided for his further appearance before the proper judicial officer as provided for and required by the summons. The court in which the charges lodge shall immedi ately forward to the Department of Public Safety of the State of Georgia the license which was deposited in lieu of bail if the driver fails to appear and answer to the charge against him. The Commissioner of Public Safety shall, upon receipt of a license so for warded by the court, suspend the driver's license and driving privilege of the defaulting driver until notified by the court that the charge against such driver has been finally adjudicated."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Section 3. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 84-6610 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 84-6610 to read as fol lows:
"84-6610. Denial, Censure, Suspension, or Revocation of License, (a) General Grounds. The Commission may deny an application for any license, or censure, suspend, or revoke any license after it has been granted for any of the following reasons:
(1) For any violation by the applicant or licensee of any of the laws of Georgia affecting the sale of motor vehicles, construction equipment, or farm machinery or the operation of the business or service for which the application is made or the license granted; or
(2) For any fraudulent or material misstatement by an applicant or licensee in any application for a license, in any report or other filing with the Commission, or in any hearing before the Commission; or
(3) For any willful failure to comply with the provisions of this Chapter or any rule or regulation adopted or promulgated by the Commission under the authority vested in it by this Chapter; or
(4) For failing to act in good faith in the negotiation for or performance of any franchise or any term thereof. Any licensee, member of the Commission, or public official may oppose the granting or continuance of any license upon the filing of a written protest specifying the grounds of objection with the Commission and serving a copy on the applicant or licensee. When such a protest is filed, the Commission shall inform the applicant or licensee that the protest is pending and that hearing is required pursuant to Code Section 84-6611. If an application is denied or a license is revoked by the Commission under any provi sion of this Code Chapter, that person may not reapply for any license provided for in this Chapter for a period of time to be set by the Commission in its findings; provided, however, the time period shall not be more than 24 months from the date of the Com mission's action. The Commission may limit the denial, revocation, or suspension of any license to any particular geographic area or to any segment of the licensee's business and, where a denial, revocation, or suspension is ordered, the Commission may phrase its order to protect the rights of other licensees or persons doing business with the licensee whose license is affected by the order. (b) Revocation of Dealer's License. In addition to the grounds for revocation set forth in subsection (a) above, the Commission may suspend or revoke the license of any dealer who:
(1) Has knowingly represented or sold as new and unused any motor vehicle which has been operated for demonstration purposes or which otherwise has been used; or
(2) Has knowingly purchased, sold, or otherwise acquired or disposed of a stolen motor vehicle; or
(3) Has knowingly violated any provisions of this Chapter, or any rule or regula tion adopted and promulgated by the Commission under the authority vested in it by this Chapter. Any licensee, member of the Commission, or public official may protest the continu ance of a dealer's license for any of the grounds set forth herein or in subsection (a) above by filing a written protest specifying the grounds of objection with the Commis sion and serving a copy on the applicant or licensee. When such a protest is filed, the Commission shall inform the applicant or licensee that a protest is pending and that a hearing is required pursuant to Code Section 84-6611.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) Revocation of Licenses Issued to Franchisors. In addition to the grounds for revo cation set forth in subsection (a) above, the Commission may, notwithstanding the terms of any franchise agreement, suspend or revoke the license of any franchisor who fails to comply with the provision of this Section in terminating, canceling, or refusing to renew a franchise or in establishing or relocating a dealer or who fails to comply with the provisions of this Section concerning warranty reimbursements.
(1) A franchisor shall not terminate, cancel, or refuse to renew a franchise unless: (A) The dealer and the Commission have received written notice specifying the
grounds for such action from the franchisor as follows: (i) At least 60 days before the effective date thereof; or (ii) At least 20 days before the effective date thereof only if the specific
grounds therefor are among the following and the notice provides the full details then available to the franchisor:
(a) Transfer of any ownership or interest in the franchise without the consent of the franchisor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or
(b) Misrepresentation by the dealer in applying for the franchise; or (c) Insolvency of the dealer or filing of any petition by or against the dealer under any bankruptcy or receivership law; or (d) Any violation of this Chapter after written notice thereof to the Commission; or (B) The Commission finds that there is good cause for termination, cancellation, or refusal to renew, following a hearing pursuant to Code Section 84-6611 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 franchisor that a timely pro test has been filed, that a hearing is required within sixty days following receipt of the protest pursuant to Code Section 84-6611, and that the franchisor may not terminate, cancel, or refuse to renew until the Commission makes its findings fol lowing the hearing or thereafter if the Commission findings are against the termina tion, cancellation, or refusal to renew the franchise. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) above, a franchisor may termi nate, cancel, or refuse to renew a franchise if the franchisor has received the written consent of the dealer or the appropriate period for filing a protest under paragraph (1) 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 paragraph. If a protest is filed to a replacement of an existing franchise, the exist ing franchise shall continue in effect until such time as the protest is heard and resolved by the Commission. (3) A proposed modification of a franchise demanded by the franchisor which would substantially affect dealer sales or service obligations or investment in the fran chise shall be considered a termination of the franchise. Unless the franchisor is acting for good cause, a refusal to approve the sale or transfer of any interest in the dealer's business or a refusal to approve the assumption of a dealership by the family or heirs of a deceased or incapacitated dealer shall be considered a termination of the fran chise.
(4) In determining whether 'good cause' has been established as required in this subsection, the Commission shall take into consideration the existing circumstances, 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 motor vehicle sales and service facilities,
equipment, vehicle parts, and qualified service personnel to reasonably provide for

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2835

the needs of the consumers for the motor vehicles 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 franchisor to be performed by the dealer;
(G) The extent of the dealer's failure to comply with the terms of the franchise; (H) If the transaction involves a transfer of the dealership, the financial ability and qualifications of the persons involved. (5) A franchisor shall not enter into a franchise which establishes a new dealer or relocates an existing dealer into or within a relevant market area where the same linemake is then represented in that relevant market area by one or more existing dealers unless: (A) Each such existing dealer and the Commission have received written notice from the franchisor of its intention at least 60 days prior to the proposed effective date thereof and no protest has been filed within the time permitted as specified below; or (B) If a protest is filed, the Commission finds (following a hearing within sixty days following receipt of the protest and called pursuant to Code Section 84-6611) that there is good cause for establishing a new dealer or relocating the existing dealer. Any existing dealer located within the relevant market area or Commission member 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 franchisor that a timely protest has been filed, that a hearing is required pursuant to Code Section 84-6611, and that the franchisor 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. (C) For the purposes of this paragraph, 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. (D) With respect to the relocation of an existing dealer, this paragraph shall not apply to any relocation which is less than one mile from the existing location of the dealer and which is to a location within the same relevant market area within the same city where the existing dealer is located. (E) A franchisor may establish or relocate a dealer within a relevant market area if the franchisor has received written consent of each dealer within that relevant market area for the same line-make of motor vehicle or if the appropriate period for filing a protest has elapsed without such a protest being filed; provided, how ever, that no term of the franchise itself will be construed as providing the written consent required by this paragraph. (F) In determining whether 'good cause' has been established as required in this paragraph, the Commission shall take into consideration the existing circumstances, including, but not limited to:
(i) The permanency of the investment;
(ii) The effect on the motor vehicle business and the consuming public in the relevant market area;
(iii) Whether it is injurious to the public welfare for an additional dealer to be established;
(iv) Whether the dealers of the same line-make in that relevant market area are providing adequate competition and convenient consumer care for the motor vehicles of the line-make in the market area which shall include the adequacy of motor vehicle sales and service facilities, equipment, supply vehicle parts, and qualified service personnel;
(v) Whether the establishment or relocation of the proposed dealer would increase competition and therefore be in the public interest.
(6) Every franchisor shall properly fulfill every warranty agreement made by it and shall adequately and fairly compensate each of its dealers for labor and parts and other incidental expenses incurred by the dealer in fulfilling the warranty obligations

2836

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of repair and service. Each franchisor shall file a copy of its warranty reimbursement schedule or formula with the Commission and shall adhere to that schedule or formula in compensating its dealers for warranty work performed by them. Any such warranty reimbursement schedule or formula shall be reasonable with respect to the time and compensation allowed to the dealer for the warranty work performed by him. The reasonableness thereof shall be subject to the determination of the Commission. If a dealer or a member of the Commission files a notice of protest with the Commission objecting to any warranty reimbursement schedule or formula filed, the Commission shall inform the franchisor that a hearing is required in regard to the reasonableness of the warranty reimbursement schedule or formula and such hearing shall be con ducted pursuant to Code Section 84-6611 of this Chapter.
In determining the adequacy and fairness and reasonableness of such warranty reimbursement schedule or formula, the Commission shall consider the time required to perform such warranty work and the dealer's effective labor rate and the effective labor rate for other comparable dealers in the relevant market area, together with other relevant criteria.
All franchisors shall fulfill all warranties given and shall adhere to its warranty reimbursement schedule or formula and a failure to do either shall be grounds for revocation, censure, or suspension of the franchisor's license."
Section 4. Said Code Chapter is further amended by adding, following Code Section 84-6612, a new Code Section 84-6612.1, to read as follows:
"84-6612.1. Exemptions from Chapter. The provisions of this Chapter shall not apply to any farm machinery dealer who has a gross revenue of $250,000.00 per annum or less unless such farm machinery dealer elects in writing to come under the provisions of this Chapter and files such writing with the Commission and pays the fees required by this Chapter. No such farm machinery dealer electing to come under the provisions of this Chapter may request a hearing before the Commissioner unless he has been licensed under this Chapter for a period of one year and has paid all fees required under this Chapter."
Section 5. Any cause of action, complaint, petition, protest, or other right accruing under Code Chapter 84-66 as enacted by an Act approved April 1, 1976, and found in Georgia Laws 1976 at page 1440 et seq., as amended, known as the "Motor Vehicle, Farm Machinery and Construction Equipment Franchise Practices Act," as such existed prior to this amendment shall not lapse, abate, or terminate and the same are hereby specifically preserved. All such matters pending under the prior law, whether pending administratively or in a court of law, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be heard and determined according to the provisions of this Act, otherwise such matters shall be heard and deter mined under the law as it existed prior to this amendment. This Act shall be applied in pari materia with the previous law and shall not be interpreted to deny any person any vested right accruing under the prior law.
Section 6. 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 7. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 8. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Representative Jackson of the 9th moved that the House agree to the Senate substi tute to HB 600.

2850

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(a) Adopt, promulgate and implement rules and procedures sufficient to administer the certificate of need program; provided, however, the rules and regulations of said agency shall be subject to review by the General Assembly as provided by an Act approved March 10, 1964 (Ga. Laws 1964, p. 338), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 3, 1978 (Ga. Laws 1978, p. 1437);
(b) Define, by regulation, the form, content, schedules and procedures for submission of applications and letters of intent;
(c) Provide, by regulation, procedures for submission of periodic plans and reports by persons or health facilities subject to State agency review under this Code Chapter;
(d) Establish standards, criteria or plans required to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Code Chapter;
(e) Establish time periods and procedures for obtaining recommendations from health systems agencies, including viewpoints of interested parties, prior to issuance or denial of a certificate of need;
(f) Provide, by regulation, for such fees as may be necessary, which may include reasonable sharing between the State agency and the appellant of the costs of preparing the record in appeals of the decisions of the State agency;
(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;

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2851

(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;
(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 the denial of an application for a certificate of need for a new institutional health service proposed to be offered or developed:
(1) by a minority-administered hospital facility serving a socially and economically disadvantaged minority population in an urban setting, or
(2) by a minority-administered hospital facility utilized for the training of minority
medical practitioners, would adversely impact upon the facility and population served by said facility, the spe cial needs of such hospital facility and the population served by said facility for the new institutional health service shall be given extraordinary consideration by the State agency in making its determination of need as required by subsection (c) of this Code Section.
The State agency shall have the authority to vary or modify strict adherence to the provisions of this Code Chapter and the regulations enacted pursuant thereto in consid ering the special needs of said facility and its population served and to avoid an adverse impact on the facility and the population served thereby. For purposes of this subsec tion, the term 'minority-administered hospital facility' means a hospital controlled and operated by a governing body and administrative staff composed predominantly of mem bers of a minority race.
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

2852

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

60 days after receipt of a complete application by the State agency. The recommenda tion 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.
(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 approved.
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-member panel must contain at least one attorney member of the Board who shall act as Chairman of the review panel, and pro vided that one of the five-member panel must be from the applicant's congressional dis trict. The members of the Board shall be compensated at a reasonable amount set by the Governor for time spent considering such hearings. The five-member panel shall base its decision upon the considerations set forth in this Act. The decision of the fivemember panel of the State Health Planning Review Board shall be the final agency deci sion for purposes of the Administrative Procedure Act. Except as herein provided, the hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the 'Georgia Administra tive Procedure Act'. Such party may also seek judicial review in accordance with Section

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2853

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, conclu sions 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 good cause, as determined by the State agency, may be exempt from this provision based on rules adopted by the State agency. Transfers 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. (b)(l) Any person who knowingly offers or develops any new institutional health ser vice within the meaning of this Code Chapter without first having been issued a certif icate of need or in violation of the terms of such certificate of need, shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000.
(2) The director of the State agency, after a hearing, 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 shall 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 assessment 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 of 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;

2854

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(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;

(4) offices of private physicians or dentists whether for individual or group prac tice;
(5) Christian Science sanatoriums operated or listed and certified by the First Church of Christ Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts;

(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 be administered by the State agency in a manner so as to assure continuation of Federal financial participation available to the State under 'The Community Mental Health Centers Act' (42 U.S.C. 2681 et seq.), 'The Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol ism Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation Act of 1970' (42 U.S.C. 4571 et seq.), and the 'Public Health Service Act' (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.)."
Section 3. This Act shall not apply to any project which has received approval under the Section 1122 program, P. L. 92-603, prior to the effective date of this Act, so long as the applicant with regard to such project incurs a financial obligation prior to the expira tion of the approval for the project under the 1122 program. In addition, this Act shall not apply to any project for which application has been made under the Section 1122 pro gram prior to the effective date of this Act. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, from and after the effective date of this Act, the review considerations and appeal procedures set forth herein at Sections 88-3316 and 88-3318, respectively, shall apply to and govern the review of capital expenditures under the Section 1122 program, including, but not limited to, any application for approval under Section 1122 which is under consideration or on appeal as of the effective date of this Act. Any such application on appeal as of the effective date of this Act shall be remanded to the State agency for de novo review consist ent with the considerations set forth herein at Section 88-3316 and for treatment under the appeal procedures set forth herein at Section 88-3318.
Section 4. In the event any Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Act, which shall remain-of full force and effect, as if the Section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1979.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Senate has passed, by substitute, by the requisite constitutional majority the fol lowing Bill of the House:

HB 438. By: Representatives Nix of the 20th, and Kaley of the 19th: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 113-12, relating to executors and administrators, so as to provide for successor executors in certain cases; and for other purposes.

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

HB 438. By: Representatives Nix of the 20th, and Kaley of the 19th: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 113-12, relating to executors and administrators, so as to provide for successor executors in certain cases; and for other purposes.

The following Senate substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 113, relating to wills, descent and administration of estates, as amended, so as to provide for successor executors in certain cases; to provide for year's support for widowers and the practices and procedures in connection therewith; 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 113, relating to wills, descent and administration of estates, as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of Code Section 113-1202 a new sub section 11. to read as follows:
"11. In lieu of the foregoing rules, the beneficiaries under a will who are capable of expressing a choice shall be entitled to name an administrator with the will annexed."
Section 2. Said Code Title is further amended by inserting, following Section 113-1001, a new Code Section 113-1001.1 to read as follows:
"113-1001.1. Husband's entitlement to year's support. Any person who becomes a widower on or after the effective date of this Section shall be entitled to year's support pursuant to the same provisions and subject to the same practices, procedures and limitations under which a widow is entitled to year's support."
Section 3A. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1979, except the provisions of Section 2 of this Act which shall become effective immediately upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. Code Chapter 113-15, relating to executors and administrators, is hereby amended by striking Code Section 113-1502 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 113-1502 to read as follows:
"113-1502 Powers and Immunities With Will Annexed. An administrator with the will annexed shall have all rights, powers, privileges, exemptions and immunities of the executor, including the dispensation by the testator of the necessity of the executor's making inventory or returns, except such as manifestly arise from personal trust and confidence placed in the executor named."
Section 4. Code Chapter 113-12, relating to executors and administrators, is hereby amended by adding after the words "Every administrator" in the first line of Code Section 113-1217 the words;
", except an administrator with the will annexed," and by adding at the end of said Section a sentence to read as follows: "The rules of law governing the bond of an executor shall be applicable in the case of an administrator with the will annexed.", so that when so amended, Code Section 113-1217 shall read as follows:

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1979

2857

"113-1217 Bond of Administrator; Amount, Payee and Condition. Every administrator, except an administrator with the will annexed, upon his qualification, shall give bond, with good and sufficient security, to be judged of by the judge of the probate court, in a sum equal to double the amount of the estate to be administered; such bond shall be payable to the judge of the probate court for the benefit of all concerned, and shall be attested by him or his clerk, and shall be conditioned for the faithful discharge of his duty as such administrator, as required by law. A substantial compliance with these requisites for the bond shall be deemed sufficient, and no administrator's bond shall be declared invalid by reason of any variation therefrom, as to payee, amount or condition, where the manifest intention was to give bond as administrator, and a breach of his duty as such has been proved. The rules of law governing the bond of an executor shall be applicable in the case of an administrator with the will annexed."
Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.
