Office of the Governor Atlanta, Georgia 30334

April 25, 1979

Honorable Thomas B. Murphy Speaker of the House of Representatives State of Georgia
State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334

Dear Speaker Murphy:

I have vetoed House Bills 252, 433, 453, 670 and 703 which were passed by the General Assembly of Georgia at the 1979 Regular Session.

Article V, Section II, Paragraph VI of the Constitution requires that I transmit such bills to you, together with a list of reasons for such vetoes. The bills and corresponding reasons for their veto are enclosed.

/s/George Busbee

Sincerely,

Veto No. 1 - H. B. 252 by Representatives Williamson of the 45th, Kemp of the 139th, Burton of the 47th and others
Among other things, House Bill 252 would allow a public utility corporation regulated by the Public Service Commission to establish and administer a political action committee. This bill would then permit contributions by such political action committee to any political campaign except candidates for Public Service Commission.

MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1980

Well-publicized abuses committed in the past by some utilities and their officials have caused the public to seriously question the wisdom of relaxing this State's policy against allowing utilities to make campaign contributions to State and local candidates.
It is my belief that now is not the proper time to depart from the present policy of prohibiting such contributions. For this reason, I have vetoed House Bill 252.
Veto No. 2 - H. B. 433 by Representatives Jessup of the 117th, Buck of the 95th, Edwards of the 110th and Castleberry of the lllth
House Bill 433 establishes the criteria for and the procedures under which a person, whose motor vehicle operator's license has been revoked due to the fact that his driving habits and traffic violations record has resulted in his classification as a habitual offender, may be granted a probationary license to operate a motor vehicle under restrictive conditions imposed by the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety when it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that a genuine hardship would exist without the ability of the habitual offender to again be permitted to operate a motor vehicle. Those persons who have their driving privileges revoked because they are a habitual offender have a proven record that they constituted a serious safety hazard to the motoring public. These individuals have repeatedly demonstrated their inability to abide by and conform to the traffic laws of this State and the lack of the capacity to operate a motor vehicle in an acceptable and safe fashion. Prior to being declared a habitual offender, these individuals have been repeatedly forewarned of the consequences of continued and repeated violations. Nevertheless their driving record over a five year period has clearly demonstrated that they are a serious threat to public safety while operating a motor vehicle. While I am aware of the hardship which the loss of an individual's driving privileges can reek upon the ability of an individual to earn a livelihood, I deem it unwise to adopt a procedure which will allow a person who has repeatedly demonstrated his lack of capacity to operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner to again be placed in a position of menacing the motoring public. For these reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 433.
Veto No. 3 - House Bill 453 by Representatives Galer of the 97th, Hanner of the 130th, Castleberry of the lllth and others
House Bill 453 provides that Georgia would become a party to the Tri-Rivers Waterway Compact along with the States of Alabama and Florida. The Compact would study and make recommendations concerning the use of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, Flint Waterway for water consumption, recreation, wildlife management, commercial fish production, navigation, power generation, flood control and any other uses deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.
The Flint River and Chattahoochee River are not in Alabama but are wholly within Georgia. The Governor of Florida has contacted me and states that Florida strongly opposes this bill and if the same is enacted, he feels that this will seriously hamper our relationships on these waterways in the future. This proposed legislation provides that the Compact can go into effect without all three states consenting if two of the states ratify the Compact and Congress gives its consent. It then provides for an initial Board of Directors of five from each state and recommends that they be nominated by the Tri-Rivers Waterway Developmental Association and submitted to the Governor for his approval and the governors are then encouraged in each state to select from counties named in the bill. In Georgia, these counties would be Clay, Decatur, Early, Miller, Mitchell, Muscogee, Quitman, Seminole or Stewart. Subsequent board members would have to be selected from counties whose governments pay dues to support the Compact. The legislation further provides that even though each state would have five members, the voting would be based on the amount of the contributions made by the governing authorities of each county.
From my discussions on this bill, it appears that one of the primary purposes is to provide a deeper channel for barge traffic on the lower part of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers. I support this concept; however, this bill is much broader and provides that this Commission shall be a state agency representing the entire State of Georgia with

4

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

limited geographical representation, but representing all the people of this State on water consumption, recreation, wildlife management, commercial fish production, navigation, power generation, flood control and other uses deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. For this reason, I have not only received strong objections from Florida, but also from many counties in this State that are affected in some manner by these rivers in the uses outlined and who have grave concern on creating a state agency with such limited regional representation and with voting based on amounts of contributions of each of the counties.
I strongly support having a channel of sufficient depth to support barge traffic on these rivers, but I do not feel that this legislation would assist in this effort.
I have conferred with Governor Graham of Florida and Governor James of Alabama and reviewed this matter by phone. We agreed that it would be in the best interests of all three states if we met and attempted to resolve our differences. This we plan to do in the next several weeks.
For these reasons, I am vetoing House Bill 453.
Veto No. 4 - H. B. 703 by Representative McDonald of the 12th
House Bill 703 would provide the circumstances under which certain itinerant merchants would be required to obtain a business license in each county or municipality in which the merchant sought to do business and name an agent for service. The fee for the business license would be $150.00 in each licensing jurisdiction. Such restrictive provisions are prohibitive to the vast majority of itinerant merchants affected and would result in many of these legitimate business activities being legislated from the market place. The subject of the regulation and licensing of local merchants in order to protect the consuming public is in many instances best addressed by local licensing authorities rather than State action. I believe this to be true with that class of itinerant merchant sought to be regulated by this bill. For these reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 703.
Veto No. 5 - H. B. 670 by Representatives Snow of the 1st and Tuten of the 153rd
House Bill 670 changes the maximum number of permissible days for which Judges of the Superior Courts may receive reimbursement for expenses incurred while attending judicial educational seminars or courses. The unintended effect of the bill if allowed to become law would result in some Superior Court Judges being denied expense reimbursement for attending judicial educational courses for a period of time extending up to seven years. Such legislation would not be in the best interests of the public in that it would have a chilling effect upon the quality of judicial competence and expertise. The principal authors of the bill have joined the Council of Superior Court Judges in requesting that I veto House Bill 670. Accordingly, I have done so.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS BY
GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE TUESDAY AT NOON, JANUARY 15, 1980 HOUSE CHAMBER - STATE CAPITOL
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
I would like to open today by welcoming the members of this General Assembly to the Capitol, and by wishing each of you a Happy New Year and new decade.
Contrary to popular belief, I am delighted to see you assemble each year for these 45 working days because it gets awfully lonely during the rest of the year. It's always a comfort to have someone share the blame when things don't go right.
For the past five years, you and I have made advances in such vital areas as education, economic development, transportation, human service delivery, and preservation of our natural resources. Nothing can detract from those successes.
But as we stand at the threshold of a new decade, it would be a mistake for me, as your governor, to spend these few minutes simply listing and boasting about our accomplishments.
So, I urge you to listen closely because I'm going to do something an incumbent governor probably has never done. I'm going to talk about the other side of the coin: our mutual omissions, our lapses....yes, our shortcomings as policymakers, law givers and appropriators of public assets.
For too long, we have accepted our place near the bottom among what our founding fathers perceived as equals. True, we haven't had the monetary resources in the past to play the game of catch-up. But the time has come when we must ask ourselves some difficult questions....questions such as "Are we kidding ourselves?", "Is there some comfort in hiding behind a past history of economic and social deprivation?" Have we said, 'We can't help it' for so long that we have hypnotized ourselves into believing our own rhetoric?
For example, I personally have grown not just weary....but resentful....of the fact that year after year we plow increasing millions of state dollars into education, and we simply have not seen a commensurate improvement in the quality of education for our people.
The same is true in other programs we have embarked on in past decades to improve the quality of life.
The fact is that this state, as well as our nation, is at a crucial crossroads in our common destiny.
We, as the elected leaders of Georgia, are being looked upon for leadership in meeting the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Some of those challenges will be new but many are simply leftovers that we have not yet mustered the courage and determination to resolve. We cannot afford to fail in this mandate.
A new decade is a time for reflection by government....a time to reassess values....a time to look at ongoing programs to determine their worthiness for the years ahead....a time to establish new goals and priorities....and a time for rededication to the pursuit of excellence.
Before we look into the 80s, we must pause....taking stock of the past ten years....and its direction for us.
First, we must recognize the subtle transitions taking place in our society. The American dream of the 50s and 60s is gradually becoming the impossible dream of the 80s. In 1970, inflation was running five to six per cent a year. We thought that was high. But

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1980

37

today's 13 per cent rate is alarmingly high and it is causing problems we couldn't even envision 10 years ago.
The easy credit, carefree spending and conspicuous consumption of yesterday are yielding to the reality of having to live within our means. It is a cold discipline of going back to the basics.
Many of our present habits and lifestyles may no longer be possible in the new society of a new decade. In 1970, energy was cheap, and was not an issue that greatly troubled either the consumer or the government. But the cost of gasoline has about tripled during this decade, and the cost of utility bills has exceeded mortgage payments for many people. Clearly, energy may be the most crucial problem facing government in the 1980s.
This energy problem has thrust our economic structure into a transition. We are gradually moving from an attitude of protectionism and isolationism....of governmental pampering and handouts....to individual self-reliance and initiative. Our economy is no longer self-contained it is a world economy, forcing us to compete in the tough international marketplace.
At the beginning of the 1970s, our public schools, colleges and universities were still growing, requiring substantial budget increases just to keep up with enrollment. Today, enrollment is dropping at all levels of education. This portends major changes in educational expenditures in the years ahead.
Among the most significant changes which occurred in Georgia during the 1970s was our state's population growth. We became the fifth fastest growing state in the nation. While this growth does not come without problems, it does signal sound economic strength.
But we clearly did not make sufficient advances in the 1970s in closing the gap in per capita income of the average Georgian as compared to the average American. As we plan for the 1980s, we must devise new strategies for overcoming this economic roadblock. It is not right for our citizens to be financially shortchanged.
The problems of our cities and counties mounted during the 1970s, and major new initiatives were necessary by state government to provide more help for local governments. The decade ahead will require even more vigorous attention to intergovernmental cooperation.
In the area of human services, we made many advances in the 1970s, but our poverty level is still too high. In the decade ahead we must bring more progress for our impoverished citizens.
Mental health was an area of remarkable strides over the past ten years. We drastically reduced hospitalization of mental patients and began emphasizing local community care a less costly and more humane approach.
The sad irony is that we need to do so much for our people at a time when we are moving from a government of plenty to a government of scarcity and austerity. Our material resources are limited. Money is limited. But the drive, spirit and will of Georgians is not.
The obvious question, then, is how can we move forward in a year when we are facing one of the tightest budgets in recent times? We cannot match federal dollars for the sake of matching. We simply do not have the resources with a balanced budget to match all federal dollars generated through deficit financing. We must adjust our own priorities and determine our own destiny.
The answer lies in reexamining those priorities. The time has come to reallocate expenditures, to guarantee that the higher priorities are met. In short, we've got to stop being content with propping up past programs and looking only to the new spending areas.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Fiscal responsibility cannot be a concept we adopt as it suits our fancy. Instead, it must be a prinicple we practice day-in and day-out year-in and year-out.
Managing government programs in this decade will require new approaches and attitudes. It will necessitate considerable sharpening of our abilities to assess and evaluate programs. We must be willing to eliminate those which have outlived their usefulness, and we must streamline, restructure and coordinate our programs to make every dollar stretch to its fullest limits.
A prerequisite to modern management is the modernization and streamlining of our basic document the Georgia Constitution which will be under consideration at this session. Your Committee on Constitutional Revision and five article committees have labored long and hard in many public meetings to draft articles for your deliberation.
The restrictive philosophy of detailed limitations upon governmental powers remains embedded in Georgia's 1976 Constitution and is virtually unchanged since its first appearance more than 100 years ago in the 1877 Constitution.
Your committees have undertaken the imposing task of rewriting individual articles of the 1976 Constitution. One half of the task assigned to these committees has been completed. The first five articles and Article X the articles on the Bill of Rights, Elective Franchise, Legislative Branch, Constitutional Boards and Commissions, Executive Branch and Retirement and Scholarships have been revised.
The work and recommendations of the Select Committee and the individual article committees deserve your highest priority and scrutiny during this session.
The Select Committee and its staff pledge to you their cooperation and assistance to properly review the recommendations for constitutional revision. The timetable adopted by the Select Committee calls for the remaining articles to be revised prior to your convening in regular session next year. By 1982, it is my hope that Georgia will have a modern and responsive basic document to successfully meet the challenge of the eighties.
Briefly, let us look at our common problems in three major areas: education, law enforcement and human services.
EDUCATION
Our people are looking to education as the reservoir of solutions to our problems. They regard education as our principal hope for a better day. Yet in the turmoil of the late 60s and 70s we became conditioned to creating programs as a reaction, not a remedy, to specific problems. Reacting to student failure at various levels, we developed and implemented such programs as compensatory education, competency-based education, student assessment and kindergarten, and now these programs must compete for funding to provide quality staff and appropriate space. If we continue the trend of reactive planning, competition among all programs for funding will reach unwholesome proportions.
As we face the challenge of the 80s, we must reverse this reactive stance and develop an understanding and appreciation of proactive planning.
Together, we must engage in a clinical assessment of public education in Georgia. We must set goals for education, and establish priorities for achieving those goals.
We must have the audacity to include quality controls and other measures to evaluate the levels of achievement and the effectiveness of our education system and the courage to discontinue those aspects which have been proven ineffective and inefficient.
We have realized that we will never have quality education unless we have quality teachers. We also recognize the fact that we cannot have quality teachers without quality pay to attract new teachers and keep them more than three or four years.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1980

39

But I submit to you that unless we have adequate assessment of the quality of teachers entering the system and require all beginning teachers to pass both the criterion referenced test and satisfactorily demonstrate good teaching skills on the job....we will have failed in our effort.
Georgia is a national leader in the area of teacher certification based on demonstrated classroom skills and knowledge of subject, and I am determined that we shall not relinquish that mantle of leadership.
We can no longer back away from the need to reexamine state law concerning the role and responsibilities of the state and local boards of education. We must no longer back away from requiring performance criteria by which to judge the effectiveness and efficiency of local programs. This state cannot abdicate its responsibility to assure an adequate education for all, especially in the application and enforcement of state standards. In the past year we have seen instances in which standards concerning personnel qualifications and school system quality have been undermined. To have state standards and not enforce them diligently is tantamount to the state abdicating its responsibility.
Our nine-month agrarian school calendar no longer fits our needs. We are challenged in the 1980s to consider adopting a 12-month flexible school year and to consider legislation to permit school districts to change the school week and school day to meet local needs especially as they are related to energy efficiency.
Other benefits to adopting a flexible school year include reduction of the need for additional buildings....maximum utilization of facilities....increased opportunity for remedial work and enrichment....and student options to graduate early and enter postsecondary institutions or careers.
Just as the advent of Sputnik precipitated drastic changes in curriculum, so will the age of energy depletion. New courses will emerge to accommodate man's expanded knowledge of the potential of the sea for food and energy....of nuclear sciences, biomass and solar power to provide more stable sources of energy.
At each legislative session, many headlines are generated by the ever-increasing spending level for education. Last year, you appropriated over a billion dollars for public education for the first time in history, but dollars alone do not guarantee quality.
But, if we are going to realize fully the potential of our people, we must provide each of them with an equal opportunity to achieve. We cannot guarantee their success but we can guarantee the opportunity for success. Without that, we guarantee failure.
How do the three major sources of funding contribute toward equal opportunity? The federal share about 14 per cent of the total cost of public education in Georgia is targeted toward special needs of children with physical, mental and economic disadvantages. Those funds are intended to equalize opportunity. The state share about 52 per cent of the total is distributed primarily on a per-pupil basis. Those funds also tend to equalize opportunity.
It is the local share of the education dollar about 34 per cent of the total where we find inequality. It is this area of education financing with which we must be concerned.
As you know, local education dollars come almost exclusively from property taxes. The amount raised per student by a one mill levy varies among systems from about $12 to about $150. In other words, for the same amount of effort one system can raise 12.5 times the money per student as can another system. Since the local portion of the education dollar is large, and getting larger, and since local funds provide for enrichment and quality above the basic programs funded by state and federal sources, some children are being denied an equal opportunity merely through a geographical accident of birth.
This disparity is often compounded by the unwillingness of some local systems to impose millage rates necessary to provide quality education. Other than required local

40

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

effort which is currently set at only two mills local millage rates range from less than two mills to more than 19.
These problems are getting worse, and will continue to grow until we face them forthrightly, and courageously. We must continue to improve the quality of the basic program with state and federal dollars, but we must also end the fiscal discrimination arising from local tax dollars.
The courts have already struck down such discrimination in other states. If we choose not to accept these responsibilities in education, then we have no choice but to accept the consequences and permit the courts to do the job we were elected to do.
In higher education, a major challenge of the next decade will be maintaining quality in our university system, while adjusting to adverse economic conditions.
Enrollment trends and inflation are severely restricting the funds available for Georgia's public colleges and universities. The phenomenal growth these schools experienced in the early 1970s has now tapered off.
Georgia's colleges and universities are being forced to sacrifice instructional needs in order to maintain plants and meet operating expenses.
While this problem is a serious one, it need not be debilitating. Courageous leadership, innovation, and a healthy tug of belt-tightening can turn the tables on economic adversity.
These fiscal problems can be attacked on two levels.
First, we must review the current funding formula for our university system. If an enrollment-driven formula is no longer adequate, then other options should be studied. Secondly, we must improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. Goals and priorities for higher education must be established, and unnecessary duplication of programs should be eliminated.
A comprehensive needs assessment and program review are long overdue. The Governor's Committee on Postsecondary Education is taking an initial step in this direction. The committee is developing goals and objectives, as well as indicators, to determine how well we are achieving these goals. By working together to increase effectiveness and efficiency, we cannot help but improve quality as well.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE
The past ten years have brought extreme pressure on our criminal justice agencies. As the criminal element has become more sophisticated, the state has been in a reactive position of fighting brush fire after brush fire.
Overall, Georgia has made considerable gains in providing more humane facilities and treatment for those who are incarcerated. We have begun a program of community corrections based on the knowledge that over 95 per cent of those incarcerated return to the community. Better than that, however, is a statewide program of diversion. It is commonly acknowledged that if a person can be diverted from being incarcerated, he has a much better chance of avoiding trouble a second time. Thus, the establishment of diversion centers has greatly helped in reducing the burden placed on our prison system.
However, despite all these efforts, we are not doing enough as indicated by the fact that we now have the third largest prison population per capita in the nation.
We have begun to encounter resistance to community corrections, despite its good track record. We have begun to realize that the overriding problem with which we must deal is coordination of effort in all levels of service.
While we have been spending huge sums of money on specific problems, we have not paid attention to or heeded the logical conclusions that have emerged. With all good

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1980

41

intentions, each agency dealing with offenders has requested more and more manpower to adequately deal with the individual.
It has become apparent again and again that the reason an agency needs additional help is because that agency has had difficulty in communicating its needs to a related agency. Compounding this, there seems to be a reluctance by some to depend on the judgment of another criminal justice professional.
In attempting to remedy this problem, the first Governor's Conference on Criminal Justice was convened with the specific purpose of encouraging cooperation, interaction and communication between the various arms of the system.
No longer can we allow our law enforcement agencies, our courts, and our prisons system to go their separate ways. Simply, we must stop nit-picking, for it is a sign of our division, and realize that only a serious joint effort will enable us to successfully wage war on crime.
The opening of the public safety training center will give us superior facilities, instructors, and professionals which will provide a solid foundation for continuing training, and more opportunities for joint effort.
The state's role in law enforcement must be redefined and stabilized. The Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the Board of Pardons and Paroles must coordinate their efforts more closely. The program of community corrections must be continued. And finally, we must bring the various levels of our courts into our day-to-day working relationships.
Due to many of the present constraints on the judicial system, it takes inordinately long periods of time to finally bring an individual to justice and to actually carry out the sentence that was handed down by the original trial court.
Steps must be taken to insure that once determination of guilt is made, the execution of the sentence will be swiftly and surely carried out. The appeals process must be examined and a more logical and equitable procedure implemented.
We can take a major step toward transforming our criminal justice components into a coordinated cohesive and coherent system by enacting into law a package of bills which will be before you this session.
HUMAN SERVICES
The 1980s will be distinguished by increased demands for governmental services and shrinking resources to meet these demands. Striking a balance between these conflicting forces will be our fundamental challenge.
Assuming the ratios between the number of patients and the total population remain similar in the next decade, we can expect the number of patients in Georgia's regional mental health and retardation hospitals to decrease by approximately 1,200, while the number of patients served by our community health centers will increase by 12,500. We can also expect the number of Aid to Families with Dependent Children recipients to increase by over 28,000. The number of youths between the ages of ten and 19 being served by our Youth Services Division will increase by over 15,000.
Advancing medical technology and better health care have enabled more and more Georgians to live longer. With this trend likely to accelerate in the 1980s, it is estimated that the portion of our state's population that is 65 or older will increase by 30 per cent during the next decade.
An expanding senior population has enormous implications for our state's health and social service programs. Many of our older citizens have low, fixed incomes which do not keep pace with the cost of living. In 1979, over 39 per cent of Georgians over 60 had incomes below the poverty level. It has been estimated that as many as 85,000 older

42

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Georgians will need some degree of state-sponsored assistance this year in order to maintain their independence. Ever-increasing prices for essentials such as utilities, food and gasoline will cause more people, from all areas, to seek help from government during the decade ahead.
SUMMARY
We in government have felt and are feeling these economic pressures, and have had to face the cold reality of limited resources. As we have seen in the past, the problem is not in identifying concerns, but is in finding adequate resources to fund them.
Gone are the days when we can simply raise our revenue estimates to support our favorite programs. Gone are the days when bigger was always better. The resources are simply not there....nor are they likely to be there anytime soon.
As we face a new era, we must realize that the heart of the nation has moved to the New South and Georgia is the heart of the South. This places upon us a tremendous responsibility. The judging eyes of the nation even the world are now upon us.
I believe we can be ready for the 1980s. We can provide the leadership history is demanding of us. We can accept our new leadership role in the nation, and in the world. We can make the adjustments necessary to respond to the changing social, economic, and political environments. We can lift ourselves above narrow, selfisn interests, and work as a team, unified in purpose and identity. We can wean ourselves from a divided past, and begin thinking as a unified state of five million people. We can cross that line which has for too long divided rural and urban Georgia.
We can do it! We must do it!
Thank you.

FATHER GOD, Who has created us, and sustains us, and gives us hope; we invoke your presence upon this House of Representatives this day.
We acknowledge that we are a "hodge-podge" of opinions and personalities. Each of us comes from different interests and constituencies. We represent different backgrounds and stations in life. We are indeed a mixture. But, Lord, we affirm that we have one thing in common. That is a commitment to you - the Great Eternal who wants the very best for His people. Because you are our primary concern, we can therefore seek the very best for our counties and for our great State of Georgia. We expect your help as we seek your will. Help us to remember, 0 Father, the few basic rules that you would have your leaders of state follow. Fairness of play, the ten commandments, absolute honesty, the Golden Rule, and acting upon our consciences instead of for the expedient only. Make us especially sensitive, O God, to the powerless, the young, the elderly, and the poor. If we are privileged; let u^ think of the under-privileged. If we are affluent; let us be sensitive to the poor. If we are old, the young; young, the old. If we are moral; let us think of the immoral - not in terms of judgement, but in how we might have contributed to their immorality. If we are immoral; let us examine the life of He who was perfectly moral.
All in all, O Father, give us a good, effective, friendly day.
We thank you for your presence and for being the source of all our desires and blessings.
In the name of the Father God, who has created us, and sustains us, and gives us hope, we pray.
AMEN.

To provide for basic local government financial management standards and procedures; to specify legislative findings and intent; to provide for construction; to define certain terms; to require the establishment of fiscal years by local governments; to require the adoption of budget ordinances; to provide procedures; to authorize the appointment of budget officers; to provide for budget preparation and hearings; to require periodic audits of local governments; to require annual financial reports; to specify certain duties of the state auditor; to provide limitations; 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. Legislative findings and intent. The intent of this Act is to provide minimum budget and auditing requirements for local governments so as to provide local taxpayers with an opportunity to gain information concerning the purposes for which local revenues are proposed to be spent and are actually spent and to assist local governments in generally improving local financial management practices while maintaining, preserving, and encouraging the principle of home rule over local matters. It is the further intent of this Act to provide a mechanism through which appropriate information may be collected to assist state and local policy makers in carrying out their lawful responsibilities.
Section 2. Construction; no impairment of home rule powers. The provisions of this Act shall not be construed so as to prohibit local governments from making authorized expenditures for any lawful purpose or from raising revenues in any manner otherwise authorized by law. It is the specific intent of the General Assembly in adopting this Act that local units of government shall continue to have and to exercise their home rule powers as provided by law.
Section 3. Definitions. As used in this Act: (1) "Budget" is a proposed plan for raising and spending money for specified pro-
grams, functions, and activities during a fiscal year. The budget shall be prepared and organized so as clearly to reflect activities, programs, and functions by fund or funds.
(2) "Budget ordinance" or "resolution" is that governmental action which appropriates revenues for specified purposes, functions, or activities for a fiscal year. The budget ordinance or resolution shall appropriate revenues by fund.
(3) "Budget officer" is that elected or appointed local government official charged with budget preparation and fiscal control for the local government. The official title of the local government budget officer shall be as provided by local law, ordinance, or appropriate resolution of the governing authority.
(4) "Fiscal year" or "budget year" is the annual period for which a budget is proposed or a budget ordinance or resolution is adopted.
(5) "Fund" is an independent fiscal and accounting entity consisting of cash and other assets together with all related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities which are segregated by appropriate accounting techniques for the purpose of performing specific governmental activities or functions in accordance with established legal regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
(6) "Governing authority" is that official or group of officials responsible for governance of the unit of local government.
(7) "Unit of local government," "unit," or "local government" is a municipality, county, consolidated city-county government, or other political subdivision of the state. Such terms do not include any local school district or board of education. For purposes of this paragraph, "county" includes any county officer who is paid in whole or in part on a salary basis and over whom the county governing authority exercises budgetary authority.
Section 4. Establishment of fiscal year; annual budget required for local governments; expenditures pursuant to budget ordinance or resolution; budget amendments

86

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

authorized, (a) The governing authority shall establish by ordinance, local law, or appropriate resolution a fiscal year for the operations of the local government.
(b) Each unit of local government shall operate under an annual balanced budget adopted by ordinance or resolution and administered in accordance with this Act.

(c) For each fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 1982, each unit of local government shall adopt and utilize a budget ordinance or resolution as provided in this Act.
(d) Nothing contained in this section shall preclude a local government from amending its operating budget so as to adapt to changing governmental needs during the fiscal year. Amendments shall be made as follows, unless otherwise provided by charter or local law:
(1) Any increase in total appropriations for a department of local government shall require the approval of the governing authority.
(2) Transfers of appropriations within a department of local government, and administrative transfers of cash to accomplish normal fiscal responsibilities, shall require only the approval of the budget officer, except that any transfers of appropriations within a department of local government which increases the salary appropriation for the purpose of employing additional personnel shall require the approval of the governing authority.
Section 5. Budget officers authorized, (a) Unless provided to the contrary by local charter or local Act, each local government may appoint a budget officer to serve at the will of the governing authority.
(b) In those units of local government in which there is no budget officer, the governing authority shall perform all duties of the budget officer as set forth in Section 6 of this Act.
Section 6.

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 599. By: Representatives Baugh of the 108th, and Parham of the 109th: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 84-9, relating to medical practitioners, so as to change the residence requirements of certain aliens; to give the board authority to refuse to grant a license to an applicant or to discipline a licensed physician who has been convicted of a felony in the courts of the United States; 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 599. By: Representatives Baugh of the 108th, and Parham of the 109th: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 84-9, relating to medical practitioners, so as to change the residence requirements of certain aliens; to give the board authority to refuse

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

to grant a license to an applicant or to discipline a licensed physician who has been convicted of a felony in the courts of the United States; and for other pur-
poses.

Representative Baugh of the 108th moved that the House insist on its position in disagreeing to the Senate substitute to HB 599 and that a Committee of Conference on the part of the House be appointed to confer with a like committee on the part of the Senate.

The motion prevailed.

The Speaker appointed as a Committee of Conference on the part of the House, the following members:
Representatives Parham of the 109th, Rowland of the 119th, and Baugh of the 108th.

The hour of convening the Joint Session, pursuant to HR 428, having arrived, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and the Joint Session convened for the purpose of hearing an address from the Governor, was called to order by the President of the Senate, Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller.

The Resolution calling for the Joint Session was read.

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

GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE'S BUDGET MESSAGE TO THE JOINT SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1980, 12:00 NOON

Ten years ago, as the decade of the 1970s was dawning, the Governor's budget message was eagerly awaited because it was the first announcement of his spending proposals.
Today, that is no longer true. Not only have my budget recommendations been released, but hearings have already been held on both the amended budget for fiscal year 1980 and the new budget for 1981, and the House will soon be taking up the amended budget.
In my State of the State message, I departed from past practices and talked specifically about problems existing today and the impact they will have throughout the decade ahead.
I want to do the same thing today regarding our economy and its impact on state budgets in the 1980s before talking about a few specific budget items that I feel need emphasizing.
I hate to be the harbinger of gloomy news, but soaring revenues like we experienced in the 1970s don't appear to be likely for the immediate years ahead. Not until the latter half of the decade does it appear that we will see a return to the consistent double-digit revenue growth that we have enjoyed since 1970.
We started off the last decade with our first $1 billion budget and my recommendations for fiscal year 1981 would start off the decade of the 1980s with our first $3 billion budget.
This mountainous climb in our budget was spurred by revenue growth that averaged 11.4 per cent each, despite two recessions.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1980

97

But this apparent prosperity was in large part caused by inflation. For the decade, the real buying power of the dollars collected increased only about an average of 4 per cent per year, well below the 7 per cent rate'of growth of buying power registered during the 1960s. Of equal importance is the fact that most of this growth came early in the decade. We've had very little buying-power growth since the mid-1970s.
With rates of growth projected at 8.1 per cent and 7.6 per cent for the two budget years you are now working on, and with inflation expected to be well over 9 per cent for both years, we are actually experiencing now a loss in buying power.
Along with reduced revenue growth at least well into the 1980s, we also foresee a continuing low rate of buying power.
There are many problems causing our pessimistic outlook for the 1980s and I want to just briefly touch on some of them.
Growth in productivity continues to slip and will likely continue to be low for many years because of lagging capital investments by industry. The rates of increase of capital per worker during the 1970s were only about one-third of those enjoyed in the fifties and sixties.
A number of factors are to blame: the spiraling real costs of petroleum, recurring interruptions in the international markets, and the imposition on businesses of the costs of saving the environment, among others.
Petroleum is a major problem. Normally, when the availability of a product seems threatened and its costs rise, American know-how and ingenuity have moved quickly to find an adequate, cheaper substitute. So far, this has not been true regarding petroleum. Our reaction has been basically to conserve and try to accommodate domestic shortages rather than invest in substitutes.
The decade of the 1980s is starting with a recession and our economists tell us that at least one other economic interruption perhaps two can be anticipated before 1990.
Because the state's tax structure increasingly is tied to income-sensitive taxes and fees, the relative impact on revenues of any recession is apt to be greater than it was in the 1970s.
Until the economy is protected from sudden spurts in energy prices, the growth prospect for state revenues is less buoyant than earlier.
Only in the last half of the decade is there any hope for a capital spending surge that will bolster productivity, income growth and government revenues simultaneously.
With such a gloomy forecast until at least mid-decade, we must be extra careful that our budgets do not build in undue pressures on the budgets to follow.
There are some serious pressures facing us that we can't ignore. The state is going to be squeezed more than ever by local governments demanding more assistance and by the federal government wanting to cut back on grants in its quest of a balanced budget.
If we have not been able to buy quality with the greatest decade of revenue collections in state history, how can we buy it with a decreased rate of growth while at the same time we are subjected to increased demands for more assistance to local governments and cutbacks in grants by the federal government?
The truth is, we can't; and this truth should be in all of our thoughts as we deliberate on a spending program for the next 18 months.
Quality must come from greater dedication of our people and better use of our resources. We can't buy quality and we might as well recognize it now.

98

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

For 1981, we are projecting that revenues will increase only $206 million. This will be more than consumed by new pay raises, annualizing the two-step pay raises given this year and the newly dedicated revenues for highway needs.
Because of these needs, I felt it was absolutely necessary to roll-forward $80.4 million in surpluses that are available to spend this year. But the House Appropriations Committee is studying a reduction in the roll-forward to $35 million, mostly for programs or projects not being moved up to 1980 from my proposed 1981 recommendations.
Inflation is hitting our agencies hard. They are struggling to meet increasing costs in such areas as utilities, food costs in our institutions, motor vehicle expenses, maintenance of equipment and buildings, supplies, and so on.
Except for pay raises, most of my recommendations for new spending in 1981 would help our agencies meet the rising cost of inflation. Without the $80.4 million roll-forward, I fear that we are going to jeopardize either the pay raises or cut so deeply into operating funds of agencies that services for our citizens will be jeopardized.
The 1981 budget recommendations are very tight. I have virtually cut out all capital outlay. Missing from my recommendations are such crucial projects as expansion of the World Congress Center, a money-maker for the state; the Public Safety Training Center in Monroe County and the GBI complex, both needed to improve our law enforcement capabilities; and prison expansion to accommodate a growing prison population. All of these priority projects must await your consideration next year, when new money promises to be just as tight as this year. In addition, we have in the budget only $10 million for new construction throughout our University System. We have needs on the Georgia Tech campus alone that exceed the amount we have budgeted for all 33 institutions. But all unmet University System needs also must wait for next year.
If you try to increase spending in the current fiscal year beyond my recommendations, you are building in pressures that will have a negative impact not only for 1981 but for years to come.
I hope you will re-evaluate the budget for the current fiscal year and roll-forward at least the $80.4 million which I recommended. I cannot over-stress the importance of doing this rather than spending it now on capital outlay and for other purposes of lower priority.
Our first budget priority in 1981 is the cost-of-living adjustment. Because we can't give raises that offset the high inflation rate, I have recommended pay packages that will accomplish the greatest good.
The $1,000 across-the-board pay increase for our teachers is designed primarily to boost the salaries of our beginning and younger teachers.
Per cent pay raises have had the effect for years of providing larger increases for teachers at the top end of the index scale and lower increases for those on the lower end. We have reached a situation in which our beginning teacher salaries rank near the bottom in the South, while the salaries of our more experienced teachers rank near the top.
While I am not happy with the salaries on any part of the scale, I think our greatest need now is to bring up the salaries on the low end of the scale. One of the reasons we have a shortage of teachers now is that our young people are choosing professions that pay more than teaching. This trend must be reversed to end the teacher shortage.
The pay raise plan I am proposing for our state employees picking up their five per cent retirement contribution was chosen because it will provide them the most take-home pay for the state funds required.
My proposal, which includes special pay raises for lower paid employees, would mean a minimum of 7 per cent take-home pay for state employees. In addition, the Retirement System would count the 5 per cent retirement cost pick-up as if it were a gross pay raise for the purposes of future retirement benefit calculations.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1980

99

Employees who quit prior to retirement could draw out their contributions with interest, just as they do now. Those employees who no longer contribute or who will stop contributing during fiscal year 1981 would receive a cost-of-living pay raise.
Some teachers have suggested that this might be a preferable pay raise for them. Teacher groups are now studying what costs would be involved in giving teachers this same type of raise, coupled with large raises for beginning teachers.
An B per cent increase proposed for our University System personnel is consistent with the average pay increase recommended for teachers.
One new budget constraint that needs emphasis is the impact of the new dedicated revenues for the Department of Transportation.
The General Assembly last year passed laws that automatically allocate to DOT for highway programs the three per cent sales tax collected on motor fuel sales and all interest earned in the state treasury on investment of motor fuel tax collections.
This action was necessary to allow us to return to our historical pattern of financing highway programs with dedicated revenues collected from motorists. In the last two years we have funded an average of more than $70 million in road improvements from general treasury funds because the rising costs of gasoline and conservation have steadily eroded our motor fuel tax base. The new dedicated funds will meet our highway needs without using general funds and allow better planning by our Department of Transportation.
The new revenue sources are expected to yield a gross of $106.6 million $75.2 million from the three per cent sales tax, and $31.4 million from interest earnings. When added to the original motor fuel tax, the net income available to the Department of Transportation from the three sources will total $361,525,000 after adjustments for refunds and the cost of collections. The only general treasury funds recommended for DOT are for inter-modal transportation expenses, special non-highway expenses and the long-time $9.3 million in grants to cities.
This change does not involve any new taxes. It merely dedicates to DOT revenue already being collected to offset decreasing motor fuel tax collections.
I have made one other recommendation for DOT which I believe will have a significant economic impact in the years ahead for our people in the Appalachian region that is the expenditure of $49 million from federal Interstate payback funds to help advancefund the construction of the Appalachian Highway System through the North Georgia mountains. This includes $21.5 million in the remaining months of this fiscal year and $27.5 million in 1981 for a total of $49 million.
As these funds are repaid to the state by the Appalachian Regional Commission on an 80 per cent basis, I am recommending that they be reinvested in the Appalachian Highway to continue its accelerated construction.
Appalachian Georgia is the only major region of the state still economically deprived by the lack of an adequate highway system. The completion of this highway will give North Georgians an equal chance to improve their standard of living.
I have already announced a major program to combat crime in Georgia. An important part of this program involves an expansion of the capabilities of the State Patrol and GBI in law enforcement.
For the State Patrol, I am recommending the addition of 18 new troopers in 1981 and implementation of the one man/one car concept in the 1980 amended budget, an action equivalent to adding 39 new troopers.
These actions will have the equivalent effect of adding 57 full-time troopers to patrol duty.

100

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In addition, we are going to gain considerably more patrol duty from the existing force through a major reorganization of the State Patrol now being implemented. This is being achieved by removing from field enforcement troopers the duty of working special events, allowing them to patrol full-time.
Specialist troopers who perform such duties as motor vehicle inspections and safety education programs are being reassigned to two new troops and will be given the additional responsibility of working special events. These specialists also will double their patrol time.
Also involved in the reorganization will be a reallocation of troopers between posts to better utilize manpower where it is most needed.
What we're doing with the reorganization is achieving the maximum amount of highway patrolling possible out of our present complement of troopers. Our highways should be much safer in the future.
We are also moving to stop the rapid increase in the number of patrol posts. After a study reported that the number of patrol posts could be reduced from 46 to no more than 22 and serve just as efficiently and at less cost, the Board of Public Safety adopted a resolution that if any new post is added, an existing post must be closed.
As you know, we have been adding posts every time a local government would donate land and a building. I challenge the General Assembly to work with me and the Board to stop this policy.
One of the major problems in fighting the crime menace is the impact of drugs. We are launching a full-scale attack on drug trafficking in the state by a major expansion of the GBI.
I have recommended that 35 new special agents be added to the GBI. Of the new agents, 25 would be assigned to the 13 regional offices to provide an increased amount of criminal investigative support to local law enforcement agencies, especially in fighting drug trafficking, and provide it more quickly than ever.
The other 10 will work out of headquarters and will largely concentrate their efforts on reducing the illegal use of drugs.
We are also giving the GBI responsibility for enforcement of all alcohol and tobacco criminal laws and bingo laws in an effort to concentrate all enforcement of criminal laws into a single agency.
Another of my recommendations on which I want to comment briefly is the proposal of bond financing to build a new $22,415,000 container berth at the Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City Terminal in Savannah and a new $2,500,000 administration building.
I realize these would be the first bonds issued by the state since September 1, 1977. But the Ports Authority has agreed to repay the state for the cost of the bonds, including principal and interest, over a 20-year period beginning in fiscal year 1983.
Considering this fact, and the fact that our ports pay for themselves many times over, I believe we should break our moratorium for this one bond project. If we don't continue to expand our ports, we are going to lose ground to our competitors.
We have reduced our bonded indebtedness from 11.3 per cent of annual bond payments as a percentage of net treasury receipts for the prior fiscal year in 1965 to a projected 3.8 per cent in 1981, even with the new bonds. This is an outstanding record of fiscal responsibility.
Not only are we reducing our percentage of indebtedness, but the bond moratorium and early payoff of school and other bonds have allowed us to drastically reduce our actual indebtedness. When we imposed the moratorium, Georgia owed almost $1.4 billion in bond

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1980

principal. The amount of principal actually owed should dip below $1 billion during the current fiscal year a reduction of about $400 million since 1977.
We should not promiscuously return to the bond market, but when an investment will pay the economic dividends that the ports expansion will, bond financing is a wise action.
In any way we want to analyze our situation this year, we will be approving basically a standstill budget. Considering the slim years that appear ahead, our future budgets are undeniably linked with our actions at this session.
This places a heavy burden on us to be very careful in the directions we take now. I have every confidence that we will not recklessly spend today and force undue pressures on the budgets in the coming years.
In closing, I want to commend the leadership and the Appropriations Committees of both houses for this year's expedited handling of both the FY 1980 amended budget and the FY 1981 Appropriations Bill. Never in my recollection has the process gone forward more smoothly or on a more open and business-like basis. Thus far, there haven't even been any major battle cries across the halls. But as they say, there's always a period of calm before a storm.

Senator Riley of the 1st moved that the Joint Session of the General Assembly be now dissolved and the motion prevailed.

The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

The Speaker called the House to order.

(The Speaker Pro Tem assumed the Chair.)

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

HB 1109. By: Representatives Snow of the 1st, Murphy of the 18th, Thompson of the 93rd, Walker of the 115th, and Evans of the 84th: A BILL to amend Code Chapter 72-2, relating to abatement of nuisances generally, so as to provide for a statement of purpose and intent; to change the provisions relating to manner of abatement; to change the provisions relating to restraint of a public nuisance;
and for other purposes.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

The Committee on Judiciary moves to amend H. B. 1109:
By striking on page 1, line 2, in the title, the following:
"To provide for a statement of purpose and intent;"
The Committee further amends said Bill by striking on page 1, line 13, Section 1 in its entirety and renumbering the subsequent Sections accordingly.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, as amended, was agreed to.
On the passage of the Bill, as amended, the roll call was ordered and the vote was as follows:

The Resolution, having received the requisite two-thirds constitutional majority, was adopted.

HR 458-1171. By: Representatives Walker of the 115th, Watson of the 114th, and Waddle of the 113th:

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide a homestead exemption of $8,000.00 from all Houston County and Houston County School District ad valorem taxes for each resident of Houston County who is 65 years of age or over or disabled if his adjusted gross income, together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $10,000.00, exclusive of certain retirement, survivor, disability, and pension benefits; 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 VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, each resident of Houston County who is 65 years of age or over or who is disabled is hereby

FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1980

125

granted an exemption from all Houston County and Houston County School District ad valorem taxes, including ad valorem taxes to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness, in the amount of $8,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his adjusted gross income, together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $10,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term 'adjusted gross income' shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as now or hereafter amended, except that adjusted gross income shall not include income or benefits which are received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act, or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension system, except such income or benefits which are in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be received by an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, as now or hereafter amended. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. In order to qualify for the exemption provided for herein as being disabled, the person claiming such exemption shall be required to obtain a certificate from not more than two physicians licensed to practice medicine under the laws of Georgia, as now or hereafter amended, certifying that in the opinion of such physician or physicians such person is mentally or physically incapacitated to the extent that such person is unable to be gainfully employed and that such incapacity is likely to be permanent. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he or his agent files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Houston County, giving his age, or if disabled the certificate or certificates provided for herein, and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes,and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the Tax Commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The Tax Commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, and certificate or certificates if disabled, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit and certificate thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the Tax Commissioner in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption, including penalties necessary therefor. It is specifically provided that the homestead exemption provided for herein shall not apply to the one-quarter mill ad valorem tax levied by the state, but in all other respects such homestead exemption shall supersede and replace a homestead exemption from county taxes for residents of Houston County who are 65 years of age or over and a homestead exemption from school taxes for Houston County residents who are 62 years of age or over when such homestead exemptions have been provided by previously existing provisions of this Constitution. The homestead exemptions provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980."

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.
The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

"( ) YES ( ) NO

Shall the Constitution be amended so as to provide a homestead exemption of $8,000.00 from all Houston County and Houston County School District ad valorem taxes for each resident of Houston County who is 65 years of age or over or disabled if his adjusted gross income, together
with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and

Section 49. In addition to all other appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1980, there is hereby appropriated $1,200,000 for the purpose of increasing the Employer Contribution rate to 4.25% for the State Employees Health Insurance Program.

Section 50. In addition to all other appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1980 there is hereby appropriated $1,985,355 for the purpose of providing funds for the operation of regional farmers' markets in the Department of Agriculture.

Section 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the greatest extent feasible, the Georgia Building Authority (Markets) and the Georgia Building Authority (Hospital) utilize existing surplus funds for payments to bond trustees for unmatured issues to eliminate the necessity of debt-service appropriations in Fiscal Year 1979 and thereafter.

Section 52. The Federal General Revenue Sharing contemplated in this Act shall be applied to the appropriations of the Department of Education and Regents, University System of Georgia for the line item "Teacher Retirement". 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 54. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Federal funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropriations 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 effective 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

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 60. All expenditures and appropriations made and authorized under this Act shall be according to the programs and activities as specified in the Governor's recommendations contained in the Amended Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1980 regular session, except as otherwise specified in this Act; provided, however, the Director of the Budget is authorized to make internal transfers within a budget unit between objects, programs, and activities subject to the conditions that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred for use in initiating or commencing any new program or activity not currently having an appropriation of State funds, nor which would require operating funds or capital outlay funds beyond fiscal year 1980, and provided, further, that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred between objects without the prior approval of at least eleven (11) members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittees in a meeting called to consider said transfers.

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 allocation until such shall be submitted and approved in the same manner and under the same conditions provided hereinbefore for transfers.

Section 61. 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 Amended Budget Report for F.Y. 1980 submitted to the General Assembly at the 1980 regular session.

Section 62. 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
include leased vehicles and State-owned vehicles, and (3) The Departments are not authorized to accept vehicles from surplus property to
increase the number authorized in this Act unless specifically approved by this General Assembly.

Provided, that none of the State funds appropriated above may be expended to initiate or commence any new program or project which would create a continuing obligation of the current funds of the State, unless such program or project has been authorized by the General Assembly.
Provided, that where teaching personnel are paid in whole or in part from funds other than State-local funds, the fund source from which such salary is paid shall be the pro rata part of the cost of employer contributions to the Teachers' Retirement System and Teachers' Health Insurance applicable to such salary.
Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to Compensatory Education, $12,746,747 is designated and committed for a compensatory education program for students in grades 1 through 6 and shall be used for remedial purposes only. Provided, further, that $10,246,747 of these funds shall be distributed on a parity formula based on the total average daily attendance in grades 1 through 6 while the remaining funds of $2,500,000 shall be distributed on the basis of the proportion of students in each local system failing to achieve 10 or more of the objectives on the fourth grade criterion-referenced
test in reading. Provided, further, that for kindergarten programs, each system shall be allotted instruc-
tional units on the basis of one teacher and one aide for each 40 students or major fraction thereof in average daily attendance, provided, however, that each system shall be allotted at least one instructional unit; except in the case of mentally, physically or emotionally handicapped children, the ratio shall be one teacher and one aide for 24 students or major fraction thereof in average daily membership. Initial pre-school allotments for school year 1979-80 shall be based upon a current year fourth-month ADA (ADM for handicapped) for existing State units. Additional allotments shall be made based upon a spring 1979 kindergarten pre-enrollment by each local system. Said initial allotments may be adjusted by the actual fall 1979 average daily attendance if so warranted. Each instructional unit shall be funded on the basis of actual reimbursement for salary, retirement, and school lunch cost and $9,644 for operational cost incurred by continued units and $12,493 for operational cost incurred by new units in pre-school development programs. Operational cost shall include maintenance and operation, sick and personal leave, instructional media, instructional equipment, testing, transportation, and additional instructional personnel when such additions will have the effect of serving additional students, provided such additional students shall not be used for the purpose of earning additional instructional
units. Provided, that the State Board of Education shall make allotments for Sections 5, 7, 10,
12, 20, and 21 teachers on the basis of the index schedule used for fiscal year 1979, as modified by Section 48 of this Act.

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,

At the end of the period of suspen sion, the violation point count shall be reduced to 0 points."
Section 2. Said Code is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 68B-308, relating to determination of habitual violators, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 68B-308 to read as follows:
"68B-308. 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

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, 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 for a period of time not to exceed three

(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

(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

414

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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.

(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.

(6) (A) Any person violating the provisions of subsection (e)(4) or operating a vehi cle 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 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, 1980.

In all cases in which a report and recommendations are filed pursuant to this Section, the court shall make written findings of fact which are the bases of the court's decision.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article IX, Section IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof a new Paragraph V to read as follows:
"Paragraph V. Additional Redevelopment Powers, (a) It is the purpose of this Paragraph to authorize the General Assembly to grant additional powers to counties or municipalities or both in order for such counties, within the unincorporated areas thereof, or such municipalities within their corporate limits, to maintain and establish more effective redevelopment programs.
(b) Subject to such procedures, requirements and limitations as may be provided by such law, including, but not limited to, defining the terms 'redevelopment,' 'redevelop ment program,' and 'redevelopment area,' the General Assembly, only by general law, is hereby authorized to grant to counties or municipalities or both any one or more of the following powers:

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1980

507

(1) The power to grant exemptions from State, county or municipal ad valorem taxation on property located within a redevelopment area or to provide tax incentives affecting such taxation, or the rate thereof, on property located within a redevelop ment area. Any such tax exemptions or tax incentives may apply to ad valorem taxa tion for educational purposes but only with the consent of the county board of education, or, in the case of an independent school system, with the consent of the fiscal authority responsible for setting the ad valorem tax rate for educational pur poses, whose ad valorem tax for educational purposes would be affected by such tax exemptions or tax incentives.
(2) The power to issue tax allocation bonds as a method of financing, in whole or in part, the costs of a redevelopment project. Tax allocation bonds are bonds issued on the basis of pledging increased ad valorem tax revenues or projected increased ad valorem tax revenues resulting from a redevelopment project or a projected redevelop ment project for the repayment of such bonds. Tax allocation bonds shall not consti tute debt within the meaning of Article IX, Section VII of this Constitution. The repayment of tax allocation bonds shall not affect ad valorem taxation for educational purposes unless the issuance of such bonds is approved by the county board of educa tion or appropriate fiscal authority of an independent school system as provided in subparagraph (1) hereof relative to tax exemptions or tax incentives.
(3) The power to use, pledge or assign lease contracts or the revenue received from lease contracts on property owned by a county or municipality within a redevelopment area as security to obtain financing for redevelopment projects. In granting the authority provided by this subparagraph to counties or municipalities, the General Assembly may provide that any obligations incurred pursuant to such authority shall not constitute debt within the meaning of Article IX, Section VII of this Constitution.
(4) The power to enter into contracts with private persons, firms or corporations for redevelopment purposes.
(5) The power to create public corporations or to designate existing public corpora tions to serve as redevelopment agencies on behalf of counties or municipalities.
(c) In order to assist counties or municipalities, or both, in providing more effective redevelopment programs, the General Assembly is hereby authorized to create a State public corporation for the purpose of providing financial aid to such political subdivi sions or to the public corporations created or designated as redevelopment agencies of such political subdivisions. The General Assembly may authorize any such State public corporation to enter into contracts with such political subdivisions or with the public corporations created or designated as redevelopment agencies of such political subdivi sions as a method of providing financial assistance for redevelopment purposes. Any such State public corporation may be created to have the same status as a State author ity created and activated prior to November 8, 1960, within the meaning of Article VII, Section III of this Constitution.
(d) No law enacted pursuant to the authority of this Paragraph shall authorize a municipality to take any action affecting county or county school district taxation or authorize a county to take any action affecting municipal taxation, including municipal taxation for educational purposes for those municipalities having an independent school system.
(e) The authority provided for the General Assembly by this Paragraph is hereby declared to be cumulative of any powers heretofore possessed by the General Assembly."

(1) multiply the mill rate levied by the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year begin ning January 1, 1979, exclusive of any grants from the State of Georgia which may have been used to reduce the net millage rate for 1979, by a percentage which is equal to the sum of 100 percent and seven percent for each tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1981, and ending on or prior to December 31 of the tax year for which the levy is to be made; (2) then, multiply the mill rate determined in (1), above, by a fraction the numerator of which is the total assessed value of all taxable property in the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year beginning January 1, 1981, rounded off to the nearest $10,000,000.00, and the denominator of which is the total assessed value of all taxable property in the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year in which the levy is to be made, rounded off to the nearest $10,000,000.00; (3) then, reduce the mill rate determined in (2), above, by the mill rate which, if levied against the taxable property within the local taxing jurisdiction, would produce an amount of revenue equal to the amount of any proceeds received by the local taxing jurisdiction in the immediately preceding tax year from a local sales and use tax. The mill rate determined after the reduction provided for in (3), above, shall be the maximum mill rate which may be levied in the applicable tax year by the local taxing jurisdiction except as provided for below. In the event the governing authority of a local taxing jurisdiction desires to seek approval at a refer endum for the levy in any tax year of a mill rate greater than the mill rate authorized in this paragraph, the governing authority shall hold not less than three public hearings on the proposed mill rate at different locations within the limits of the local taxing juris diction prior to the date of the referendum. Notice of each such public hearing shall be published in the legal organ of the local taxing jurisdiction for at least three consecutive weeks immediately preceding the week the meeting is to be held and shall also be made as may otherwise be required by law.
The tax limitation set forth above shall exclude and not include any expenditures made or caused to be made by the local taxing jurisdiction as determined from time to time on a case by case basis for the following express purposes:
(a) Bonded indebtedness incurred as a result of a referendum by the voters approv ing such bonded indebtedness;
(b) Any expenditure for the replacement of or provision for any direct loss suffered by the local taxing jurisdiction as the result of any peril, catastrophe, or emergency which includes, but is not limited to, fire, lightning, wind, hail, water, storm, war, insur rection, riot, earthquake, nuclear occurrence, seizure, explosion, freezing, aircrafts, vehi cles, or other similar catastrophe or acts of God; with the amount to be levied to cover such emergency not to exceed the actual cash outlay, considering all insurance as pay ments from other sources to which said taxing jurisdiction may be entitled, which the taxing jurisdiction actually incurs as the result of said loss, including professional fees and other similar expenses required to place the taxing jurisdiction in the same position in which it would have been had such perils, catastrophe, or emergency not occurred; provided, however, the governing body of the taxing jurisdiction declares by a twothirds' majority that the emergency does exist and the expenditures are in fact to be made as the result of the emergency; and
(c) In the case of the Richmond County Board of Education, capital improvements not funded by state or federal funds specifically carried out in compliance with the provisions of Public Law 94-142.
The General Assembly, by local law, may establish procedures for the administration of the provisions of this paragraph."

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.
The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

YES ( ) NO

Shall the Constitution be amended so as to require a referendum before a local taxing jurisdiction in Richmond County may levy an ad valorem tax mill rate greater than a mill rate determined based upon the mill rate levied in 1979?"

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to change the amount of certain homestead exemptions from ad valorem taxes levied for county and school purposes in Twiggs County; to provide for submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding after the paragraph which reads as follows:

FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1980

555

"The homestead of each resident of Georgia actually occupied by the owner as a resi dence and homestead, and only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, but not to exceed $2,000.00 of its value, is hereby exempted from all ad valorem taxation for State, County and school purposes, except taxes levied by municipalities for school purposes and except to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness, provided, however, should the owner of a dwelling house on a farm, who is already entitled to homestead exemption, participate in the program of rural housing and obtain a new house under contract with the local housing authority, he shall be entitled to receive the same homestead exemption as allowed before making such contract. The General Assem bly may from time to time lower said exemption to not less than $1,250.00. The value of all property in excess of the foregoing exemptions shall remain subject to taxation. Said exemptions shall be returned and claimed in such manner as prescribed by the General Assembly. The exemption herein provided for shall not apply to taxes levied by municipalities.", a new paragraph to read as follows:
"For purposes of the application of the exemption granted in the immediately pre ceding paragraph to taxes levied in Twiggs County for county and school purposes, the exemption is hereby increased to $4,000.00 for the tax year beginning January 1, 1981; to $5,000.00 for the tax year beginning January 1, 1982; and to $6,000.00 for all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1983. In the event the immediately preceding paragraph is amended so as to increase the exemption authorized in that paragraph to an amount in excess of the amount granted in this paragraph, the amount of exemption provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph shall prevail."
Section 2. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is further amended by adding after the paragraph which reads as follows:
"Each person who is sixty-five (65) years of age or over is hereby granted an exemp tion from all State and county ad valorem taxes in the amount of $4,000.00 on a home stead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as hereinafter provided, does not exceed $4,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension system, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such home stead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the tax commis sioner or tax receiver of the county in which he resides, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner or tax receiver to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The tax commissioner or tax receiver shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be pro cessed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner or tax receiver in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor.

HR 521-1370. By: Representative Johnson of the 74th:

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide a homestead exemption of $8,000.00 from all Newton County and Newton County School District ad valorem taxes for each resident of Newton County who is 65 years of age or over or disabled if his adjusted gross income, together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $10,000.00, exclusive of certain retirement, survivor, disability, and pension benefits; 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 VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, each resi dent of Newton County who is 65 years of age or over or who is disabled is hereby granted an exemption from all Newton County and Newton County School District ad valorem taxes, including ad valorem taxes to pay interest on and retire bonded indebted ness, in the amount of $8,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a resi dence if his adjusted gross income, together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $10,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term 'ad justed gross income' shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as now or hereafter amended, except that adjusted gross income

MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1980

589

shall not include income or benefits which are received as retirement, survivor or disabil ity benefits under the Federal Social Security Act, or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension system, except such income or benefits which are in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be received by an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, as now or hereafter amended. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxa tion. In order to qualify for the exemption provided for herein as being disabled, the person claiming such exemption shall be required to obtain a certificate from not more than two physicians licensed to practice medicine under the laws of Georgia, as now or hereafter amended, certifying that in the opinion of such physician or physicians such person is mentally or physically incapacitated to the extent that such person is unable to be gainfully employed and that such incapacity is likely to be permanent. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he or his agent files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Newton County, giving his age, or if dis abled the certificate or certificates provided for herein, and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes,and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the Tax Commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The Tax Commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for home stead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, and certificate or cer tificates if disabled, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit and certificate thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the Tax Com missioner in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administra tion of this exemption, including penalties necessary therefor. It is specifically provided that the homestead exemption provided for herein shall not apply to the one-quarter mill ad valorem tax levied by the state, but in all other respects such homestead exemp tion shall supersede and replace a homestead exemption from county taxes for residents of Newton County who are 65 years of age or over and a homestead exemption from school taxes for Newton County residents who are 62 years of age or over when such homestead exemptions have been provided by previously existing provisions of this Con stitution. The homestead exemptions provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980."
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.
The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

"( ) YES ( ) NO

Shall the Constitution be amended so as to provide a homestead exemp tion of $8,000.00 from all Newton County and Newton County School District ad valorem taxes for each resident of Newton County who is 65 years of age or over or disabled if his adjusted gross income, together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $10,000.00, exclusive of cer tain retirement, survivor, disability, and pension benefits?"

All persons desiring to vote in favor of ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote ""YNeos."." All persons desiring to vote against ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote
If such amendment shall be ratified as provided in said Paragraph of the Constitution, it shall become a part of the Constitution of this state.

A BILL
To amend Code Section 91A-3915, relating to declaration of estimated income tax by individuals, so as to provide an exception with respect to individuals who are required to make a declaration of estimated tax for the current taxable year; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

"Every", and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e), every", so that when so amended, subsection (a) of Code Section 91A-3915 shall read as follows:
"(a) Requirement of declaration. Every Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e), every resident individual and every taxable nonresident individual shall make a dec laration of his estimated tax for the current taxable year if his gross income can reason ably be expected to:

"Subject to the conditions, procedures, and limitations provided by ordinance, the governing authority of the City of Decatur may authorize residents of the city aged 65 or older to defer all or a portion of the dollar increase in city ad valorem taxes due on their homesteads based on the dollar amount of city ad valorem taxes owed on the homestead in the tax year in which the resident reached his sixty-fifth birthday or in the tax year 1980, whichever is more. The amount of taxes deferred on a homestead shall constitute a lien on the property which shall have the same priority as any other lien for taxes. The lien shall become due and payable upon the death of the taxpayer if title to the property does not vest in the taxpayer's spouse, when the property is sold or title is transferred to someone other than the taxpayer's spouse, when the property is no longer used as a homestead by the taxpayer or his spouse, or when any required insurance on the property lapses or otherwise ceases to be in force. No homestead may qualify for deferral unless the taxpayer or the taxpayer and his spouse has an equity in the property of 30 percent or more based upon the fair market value of the property as determined for purposes of ad valorem taxation. No deferral may be granted to a tax payer when the total amount of all liens for deferred taxes, together with interest, exceeds 50 percent of the fair market value of the property as determined for purposes of ad valorem taxes. The amount of deferred taxes on any property shall bear interest, until paid, at the rate provided by law for delinquent ad valorem taxes. The property for which any deferral is claimed must have in force a fire and extended coverage insur ance policy in an amount which is in excess of the sum of all outstanding liens and deferred taxes and interest with a loss payable clause to the city."
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.

By: Representatives Lambert of the 112th, Hatcher of the 131st, Nichols of the 27th, Vandiford of the 53rd, Coleman of the 118th, Richardson of the 52nd, Patten of the 149th, Kemp of the 139th, Fuller of the 16th, and Tuten of the 153rd: A BILL to amend Code Title 38, relating to evidence, so as to provide for the taking and use of depositions in criminal proceedings; to provide for notice; to provide for counsel; to provide for costs; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 38, relating to evidence, as amended, so as to provide for the taking and use of depositions in certain criminal proceedings; to provide for notice; to pro vide for counsel; to provide for costs; to provide for filing and examination; to provide for admissibility; to provide for objections; to provide the procedures connected with the fore going; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OP GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Title 38, relating to evidence, as amended, is hereby amended by inserting, following Code Chapter 38-13, a new Code Chapter, to be designated Code Chapter 38-13A, to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 38-13A DEPOSITIONS TO PRESERVE TESTIMONY
IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
38-1301A. (a) At any time after the filing of an indictment, special presentment, or accusation, the court may upon motion of a party and after notice to the parties order that the testimony of a prospective witness of a party be taken by deposition and that any designated book, paper, document, record, recording, or other material not privi leged be produced at the same time and place. The court shall not order the taking of the witness's testimony unless it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the witness is in imminent danger of death or that the witness has been threatened with death or

TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1980

647

great bodily harm because of the witness's status as a potential witness in any criminal trial or proceeding.
(b) The party at whose instance a deposition is to be taken shall give to every party reasonable written notice of the time and place for taking the deposition. The notice shall state the name and address of each person to be examined. On motion of a party upon whom the notice is served, the court for cause shown may extend or shorten the time or change the place for taking the deposition. The officer having custody of a defendant shall be notified of the time and place set for the examination and shall pro duce him at the examination and keep him in the presence of the witness during the examination. A defendant not in custody shall have the right to be present at the exami nation; but his failure, absent good cause shown, to appear after notice and tender of expenses shall constitute a waiver of that right and of any objection to the taking and use of the deposition based upon that right.
(c) If a defendant is without counsel, the court shall advise him of his rights and assign counsel to represent him unless the defendant elects to proceed without counsel or is able to obtain counsel of his own choice. Whenever a deposition is taken at the instance of the State, the cost of any such deposition shall be paid out of such funds as are available to meet the costs of prosecution which are the responsibility of the State to meet. Depositions taken at the instance of a defendant shall be paid for by the defen dant; provided, however, that whenever a deposition is taken at the instance of a defen dant who is unable to bear the expense of the taking of the deposition, the court shall direct that the reasonable expenses of travel and subsistence of the defendant and his attorney for attendance at the examination be paid for out of the fine and forfeiture fund of the county where venue is laid.
(d) A deposition shall be taken and filed in the manner provided in civil actions, provided that (1) in no event shall a deposition be taken of a party defendant without his consent, and (2) the scope of examination and cross-examination shall be such as would be allowed in the trial itself. On request or waiver by the defendant the court may direct that a deposition be taken on written interrogatories in the manner provided in civil actions. Such request shall constitute a waiver of any objection to the taking and use of the deposition based upon its being so taken.
(e) The State shall make available to the defendant for his examination and use at the taking of the deposition any statement of the witness being deposed which is in the possession of the State and which the State would be required to make available to the defendant if the witness were testifying at the trial.
(f) At the trial or upon any hearing, a part or all of a deposition, so far as otherwise admissible under the rules of evidence, may be used if it appears:
(1) That the witness is dead; or (2) That the witness is out of the State, unless it appears that the absence of the witness was procured by the party offering the deposition; or (3) That the witness is unable to attend or testify because of sickness or infirmity; or (4) That the witness refuses in the trial or hearing to testify concerning the subject of the deposition or part offered; or (5) That the party offering the deposition has been unable to procure the attend ance of the witness by subpoena. Any deposition may also be used by any party for the purpose of contradicting or impeaching the testimony of the deponent as a witness. If only a part of a deposition is offered in evidence by a party, an adverse party may require him to offer all of it which is relevant to the part offered and any party may offer other parts. (g) Objections to receiving in evidence a deposition or part thereof may be made as provided in civil actions."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Representative Hill of the 127th moved that HB 1150 be recommitted to the Commit tee on Judiciary.

Provided, further, the Office of Planning and Budget is hereby authorized to transfer funds from this section to the Department's budget on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to that which the Department remits to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services as a result of regional farmers' markets activities.

Section 49. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the greatest extent fea sible, the Georgia Building Authority (Hospital) utilize existing surplus funds for payments to bond trustees for unmatured issues to eliminate the necessity of debt-service appropria tions in Fiscal Year 1980 and thereafter.

Section 50. The Federal General Revenue Sharing contemplated in this Act shall be applied to the appropriations of the Department of Education and Regents, University System of Georgia for the line item "Teacher Retirement".

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. It is the intent of this General Assembly that an unappropriated surplus of at least $110,000,000 be left unappropriated for Fiscal Year 1980, in order that sufficient funds will be available to implement the following salary increases:
1) An increase of 11.5% on the index salary schedule for teachers, 2) An increase of 11.5% for school bus drivers, 3) An increase of 11.5% for employees of the University System, and 4) An increase of 11.5% for state employees. And, to implement legislation authorizing the calculation of teachers' retirement bene fits on the basis of the two highest salary years.

This Section shall apply to all funds of each budget unit from whatever source derived. The State Auditor shall make an annual report to the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of all instances revealed in his audit in which the expenditures by object class of any department, bureau, board, commis sion, institution or other agency of this State are in violation of this Section or in violation of any amendments properly approved by the Director of the Budget.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1980

817

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 and the amended Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1980 regular session.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1980

819

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 27-13, relating to criminal procedure and call of the docket, is hereby amended by adding following Section 27-1301 a new Section 27-1302 to read as follows:
"27-1302. Discovery, (a) Prosecutor's obligation. (1) After the filing of the indictment or
accusation, within 15 days after written demand by the defendant is filed with the clerk and served upon the prosecutor, the prosecutor shall disclose to defense counsel and permit him to inspect, copy, test, and photograph the following information and material within the prosecutor's actual possession:
(A) A written list of all witnesses whom the prosecutor expects to call as wit nesses at the trial or hearing.
(B) Any written or recorded statement and the substance of any oral statements made by the accused and known to the prosecutor, together with the name and address of each witness to the statement.
(C) Any written or recorded statements and the substance of any oral state ments made by a co-defendant known to the prosecutor, if the trial is to be a joint one.
(D) Any tangible papers or objects which were obtained from or belonged to the accused.
(E) Whether there has been any electronic surveillance, including wiretapping, of the accused, or of conversations to which the accused was a party, and a copy of any court order authorizing electronic surveillance, together with the accompanying application for said order.
(F) Whether there has been any search or seizure and any document relating thereto.
(G) Reports or statements of experts made in connection with the particular case, including results of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests, experiments, or comparisons.
(H) Any tangible papers or objects which the prosecuting attorney intends to offer in evidence in the hearing or trial which were not obtained from and did not belong to the accused.
(I) The prior criminal record of the accused. (2) As soon as practicable after the filing of the indictment or information, the prosecutor shall disclose to the defense counsel any material information within the prosecutor's possession which tends to negate the guilt of the accused as to the offense charged. (3) The prosecutor shall perform the foregoing obligations in any manner mutually agreeable to him and defense counsel or as ordered by the court. (4) The court may deny or partially restrict disclosures by this section if it finds there is a substantial risk to any person of physical harm, intimidation, bribery, eco nomic reprisals, or unnecessary annoyance or embarassment resulting from such dis closure, which risk outweighs any usefulness of the disclosure to defense counsel, (b) Disclosure to prosecution. The defense shall have the following duties of disclo sure: (1) Within seven days after receipt by defense counsel of the list of witnesses furnished by the prosecutor, as provided in this section, the defense counsel shall fur nish to the prosecutor a written list of all witnesses whom the defense counsel expects to call as witnesses at the trial or hearing. (2) If the defendant demands discovery under this section, the defendant shall dis close to the prosecutor and permit him to inspect, copy, test, and photograph the fol lowing information and material which corresponds to that which the defendant sought and which is in the defendant's possession.
(A) Reports or statements of experts made in connection with the particular case, including results of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests,
experiments, or comparisons. (B) Any tangible papers or objects which the defense counsel intends to use in
the hearing or trial.

820

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(3) Defense counsel shall make the foregoing disclosures within 15 days after receipt by him of the corresponding disclosure from the prosecutor. Defense counsel shall perform the foregoing obligations in any manner mutually agreeable to him and the prosecutor or as ordered by the court.
(4) The filing of a motion for protective order by the prosecutor will automatically stay the times provided for in this section. If a protective order is granted, the defen dant may, within two days thereafter, or at any time before the prosecutor furnishes the information or material which is the subject of the motion for protective order, withdraw his demand and not be required to furnish reciprocal discovery.
(c) Prosecution witnesses' statements. After a witness called by the prosecution has testified on direct examination, the court shall, on motion of the defendant, order the prosecution to produce any statement of the witness in the possession of the prosecutor which relates to the subject matter as to which the witness has testified. If the entire contents of any such statement relates to the subject matter of the testimony of the witness, the court shall order it to be delivered directly to the defendant for his exami
nation and use. If the prosecution claims that any statement ordered to be produced under this subsection contains matter which does not relate to the subject matter of the
testimony of the witness, the court shall order the prosecution to deliver such statement for the inspection of the court in camera and shall excise those portions of the statement which do not relate to the subject matter of the testimony of the witness. If any portion
of the statement is so withheld from the defendant and the defendant objects to such withholding, the entire text of the statement shall be preserved for purposes of appeal.
For purposes of this subsection, the term 'statement' means a written statement made by a witness and signed or otherwise adopted or approved by him or a stenographic, mechanical, electrical, or other record or transcript which is a substantially verbatim
recital of an oral statement made by the witness and contemporaneously recorded. A defendant's motion under this subsection shall not impose upon defendant the disclosure requirements of subsection (b).
(d) Matters not subject to disclosure. (1) Work product. Disclosure shall not be required of legal research or of records, correspondence, reports, or memoranda of the
prosecuting or defense attorney or members of his legal staff. (2) Informants. Disclosure of a confidential informant shall not be required unless
the confidential informant is to be produced at a hearing or trial or a failure to dis
close his identity will infringe the constitutional rights of the accused.
(e) Investigations not to be impeded. Except as is otherwise provided as to matters not subject to disclosure or restricted by protective orders, neither the counsel for the parties nor other prosecution or defense personnel shall advise persons having relevant
material or information (except the accused) to refrain from discussing the case with opposing counsel, or showing opposing counsel any relevant material, nor shall they otherwise impede opposing counsel's investigation of the case.
(f) Continuing duty to disclose. If, subsequent to compliance with the rules, a party discovers additional witnesses or material which he would have been under a duty to disclose or produce at the time of such previous compliance, he shall promptly disclose
or produce such witnesses or material in the same manner as required under these rules for initial discovery.
(g) Court may alter times. The court may alter the times for compliance with any discovery under these rules upon good cause shown.
(h) Protective orders. Upon a showing of good cause, the court may at any time order that specified disclosures be restricted or deferred, or make such order as is appro priate, provided that all material and information to which a party is entitled must be
disclosed in time to permit such party to make beneficial use thereof. (i) Sanctions. (1) If any time during the course of the proceedings it is brought to the attention of the court that a party has failed to comply with an applicable discov
ery rule or with an order issued pursuant to an applicable discovery rule, the court may order such party to comply with the discovery or inspection of materials not
previously disclosed or produced, grant a continuance, grant a mistrial, prohibit the party from calling a witness not disclosed or introducing in evidence the material not disclosed, or enter such other order as it deems just under the circumstances.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1980

821

(2) Willful violation by counsel of an applicable discovery rule, or an order issued pursuant thereto, may subject counsel to appropriate sanctions by the court, (j) Cost of indigents. After a defendant is determined to be indigent, the reasonable costs incurred in the operation of this section shall be taxed as costs against the state to be paid from those funds allocated for indigent defense. (k) Section cumulative. This section is not intended to limit any other rights or remedies now or hereafter available to persons accused of crime."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Representative Thompson of the 93rd moved that the House disagree to the Senate substitute to HB 672.

The motion prevailed.

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

HB 1146. By: Representatives Lambert of the 112th, Hatcher of the 131st, Nichols of the 27th, Vandiford of the 53rd, Richardson of the 52nd, Patten of the 149th, and Marcus of the 26th: A BILL to amend Code Section 27-407, relating to the duty of the court of inquiry, so as to provide that the committing magistrate may not dismiss certain criminal charges and convict the accused of an offense otherwise within the jurisdiction of the court of inquiry if the evidence upon which the conviction is to be based within the court of inquiry shall constitute the same circumstances for which the accused was originally charged with a violation of certain crimes; and for other purposes.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, was agreed to.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act, known as the "Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act," approved April 18, 1967 (Ga. Laws 1967, p. 674), as amended, is hereby amended by striking subsection (a) of Section 4 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the finance charge, exclusive of insurance, and other benefits and official fees, shall not exceed the following rates:
Class 1. Any new motor vehicle designated by the manufacturer by a year model not earlier than the year in which the sale is made--$8 10 per $100 per year.
Class 2. Any new motor vehicle not in Class 1 and any used motor vehicle designated by the manufacturer by a year model of the same or not more than two years prior to the year in which the sale is made^$ii 13 per $100 per year.
Class 3. Any used motor vehicle not in Class 2 and designated by the manufacturer by a year model not more than four years prior to the year in which the sale is made$15 per $100 per year.
Class 4. Any used motor Vehicle not in Class 2 or Class 3 and designated by the manufacturer by a year model more than four years prior to the year in which the sa.Sp is made--$17 per $100 per year."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking subsection (c) of Section 4 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) When a retail installment contract provides for unequal or irregular installment payments, the finance charge may be at a rate which will provide the same yield as is permitted on monthly payment contracts under paragraphs subsections (a) and (b), hav ing due regard for the schedule of payments, Notwithstanding the foregoing) a seller who computes a finance charge on an actuarial basis may charge a finance charge, exclusive of insurance and other benefits and official fees, which, when calculated according to the actuarial method, does not exceed the yield which would have been permitted on monthly contracts under subsections (a) and (b), having due regard for the schedule of payments. Provided, however, that, when a seller computes the finance charge according

This method of refund upon prepayment is commonly referred to as the 'Rule of 78' or the 'Sum of the Digits' refund method. Where the amount of credit is less than one dollar ($1.00) $1.00, no refund need be made. Provided, however, that this section shall not apply to credit upon anticipation of payments or upon acceler ation in those cases where the seller or holder of the contract has computed finance charges according to the actuarial method as set forth in Section 4"

and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, shall be less than the Consumer Price Index for the previous January 1, the existing budget shall be decreased by the amount which results from multiplying the existing base budget by the percentage decrease in the Consumer Price Index, not exceeding 5 percent. For the purposes of this section only, the 'base budget' shall be computed at $85,000 January 1, 1981, and thereafter shall be computed as the amount of the budget for the preceding fiscal year. However, if said governing authority disapproves the budget submitted by the sheriff, it shall enter its disapproval thereon in writing within ten (10) days from the filing of same in its office and shall transmit the same to the advisory board to the governing authority of Dade County, hereinafter created."

The advisory board shall make its recommendations to the governing authority within 10 days after the budget is submitted to the board. The governing authority shall give careful consideration to the recommendations of the advi sory board but final approval of the budget shall be determined by said governing authority. If the governing authority rejects the recommendations of the advisory board, before the final decision of the governing authority on the budget, said governing authority shall set a time and date certain for the sheriff to appear and present evidence supporting the budget as submitted by him.
(d) The advisory board may make recommendations on any budget or application for amendment to said budget at any regular or special meeting at which a majority of the board members are present and the decision of a majority of said members shall control.
(e) The budget for the sheriff as finally determined and set by the governing author ity of Dade County shall be filed in the office of the governing authority where it shall be kept as a part of the minutes of said office and shall be conclusive and the sheriff and the governing authority shall abide by same until amended as hereinafter provided. A copy of the final budget shall be served upon the sheriff.
(f) For every fiscal year, the budget, with all amendments thereto, for the immedi ately preceding year shall continue in effect during the time provided herein for the review of the new budget by the governing authority and, when necessary, by the advi sory board. When approved, the new budget, as finally approved by the governing authority, shall be retroactive to the first day of the fiscal year for which said budget is submitted.
(g) If for any reason it appears to the sheriff that the budget finally determined is insufficient due to an emergency or any cause to operate the sheriffs office, the sheriff shall file a written application requesting an amendment of such budget with the gov erning authority. The governing authority shall review said application for amendment and shall, within five days from the filing of same, enter its decision thereon. If the same is approved by the governing authority, it shall be authorized and is hereby directed to expend the sums called for in the budget so amended. If the same is disapproved by the governing authority, it shall, immediately and within five days from the filing of such application in its office, submit same to the advisory board to the governing authority and said advisory board shall act on said application within 10 days from the filing of same. The advisory board may make recommendations relative to any such amendment in the same manner as provided by subsection (c) hereof. The sheriff shall have the right to file application for amendment to his budget from time to time as the need may arise. In filing such application, it shall not be necessary to meet any formal requisite of pleading, the only thing being required is that a written statement be filed that there is a need for amendment, the reason for such need and the amount requested. The governing authority of Dade County shall be authorized to approve or disapprove any such amendment. If disapproved, the proposed amendment shall be submitted to

852

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

amend an Act known as the "Adequate Program for Education in Georgia Act" so as to provide that the State Board of Education shall follow certain proce dures in developing standards in programs in teacher education; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend an Act known as the "Adequate Program for Education in Georgia Act," approved March 26, 1974 (Ga. Laws 1974, p. 1045), as amended, so as to provide that the State Board of Education shall follow certain procedures in developing standards in pro grams in teacher certification; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the "Adequate Program for Education in Georgia Act," approved March 26, 1974 (Ga. Laws 1974, p. 1045), as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of Section 55 a new subsection (d) to read as follows:
"(d) In developing standards for programs in teacher certification, the State Board of Education shall provide each institution engaged in the preparation of professional or paraprofessional school personnel of any kind with a statement of the general qualifica tions required of individual candidates for each of the several certificates granted by the board. Such standards must be applied exclusively to individuals and not to institutions. In particular, such standards may not require an institution to teach a particular pedagogical method, whether expressed in terms of behavioral or performance-based objectives, competencies, or other explicit assessment devices. Such standards may not prescribe any conditions under which an institution must organize its administration, faculty, or curriculum; they must not prescribe any conditions pertaining to faculty gov ernance, control of programs, personnel policies, or other internal operating procedures of institutions; they must not impinge in any way upon either the individual or collective academic freedom of institutional faculties; and they must not curtail in any way the freedom of institutions to design and implement degree programs, either in education or in other areas. Eligibility to apply for certification must be based upon graduation from a college or university accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Georgia colleges without (NCATE) accreditation will con tinue to meet approved programs criteria specified by the State Board of Education in order for graduates to be certified. All decisions pertaining to the award of professional or paraprofessional certificates must be based upon the results of appropriate examina tions and assessment of the individual candidate by the board and completion of any requirements of law."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representative Gignilliat of the 122nd moves to amend the Committee substitute to HB 895 by deleting on page 2 the remainder of the sentence, beginning on line 15 and adding the following language:
"... continue to meet standards specified by the State Board of Education, consist ent with criteria expressed in this section, in order for graduates to be certified."

The Committee substitute, as amended, was adopted.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, by sub stitute, was agreed to, as amended.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article IX, Section IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof a new Paragraph V to read as follows:
"Paragraph V. Additional Redevelopment Powers, (a) It is the purpose of this Paragraph to authorize the General Assembly to grant additional powers to counties or municipalities or both in order for such counties, within the unincorporated areas thereof, or such municipalities within their corporate limits, to maintain and establish more effective redevelopment programs.
(b) Subject to such procedures, requirements and limitations as may be provided by such law, including, but not limited to, defining the terms 'redevelopment,' 'redevelop ment program,' and 'redevelopment area,' the General Assembly, only by general law, is hereby authorized to grant to counties or municipalities or both any one or more of the following powers:
(1) The power to grant exemptions from State, county or municipal ad valorem taxation on property located within a redevelopment area or to provide tax incentives affecting such taxation, or the rate thereof, on property located within a redevelop ment area. Any such tax exemptions or tax incentives may apply to ad valorem taxa tion for educational purposes but only with the consent of the county board of education, or, in the case of an independent school system, with the consent of the fiscal authority responsible for setting the ad valorem tax rate for educational pur poses, whose ad valorem tax for educational purposes would be affected by such tax exemptions or tax incentives.
(2) The power to issue tax allocation bonds as a method of financing, in whole or in part, the costs of a redevelopment project. Tax allocation bonds are bonds issued on the basis of pledging increased ad valorem tax revenues or projected increased ad valorem tax revenues resulting from a redevelopment project or a projected redevelop ment project for the repayment of such bonds. Tax allocation bonds shall not consti tute debt within the meaning of Article IX, Section VII of this Constitution.

(3) The power to use, pledge or assign lease contracts or the revenue received from lease contracts on property owned by a county or municipality within a redevelopment area as security to obtain financing for redevelopment projects. In granting the authority provided by this subparagraph to counties or municipalities, the General Assembly may provide that any obligations incurred pursuant to such authority shall not constitute debt within the meaning of Article IX, Section VII of this Constitution.
(4) The power to enter into contracts with private persons, firms or corporations for redevelopment purposes.
(5) The power to create public corporations or to designate existing public corpora tions to serve as redevelopment agencies on behalf of counties or municipalities. (c) In order to assist counties or municipalities, or both, in providing more effective redevelopment programs, the General Assembly is hereby authorized to create a State public corporation for the purpose of providing financial aid to such political subdivi sions or to the public corporations created or designated as redevelopment agencies of such political subdivisions. The General Assembly may authorize any such State public corporation to enter into contracts with such political subdivisions or with the public corporations created or designated as redevelopment agencies of such political subdivi sions as a method of providing financial assistance for redevelopment purposes. Any

such State public corporation may be created to have the same status as a State author ity created and activated prior to November 8, 1960, within the meaning of Article VII, Section III of this Constitution.
(d) No law enacted pursuant to the authority of this Paragraph shall authorize a municipality to take any action affecting county or county school district taxation or authorize a county to take any action affecting municipal taxation, including municipal taxation for educational purposes for those municipalities having an independent school system.
(e) The authority provided for the General Assembly by this Paragraph is hereby declared to be cumulative of any powers heretofore possessed by the General Assembly."

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 Taylor 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 $10,000.00 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 Taylor 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.

Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"The homestead of each resident of Lowndes County actually occupied by the owner as a residence and homestead, and only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, but not to exceed $6,000.00 of its value, is hereby exempted from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness. The value of all property in excess of the foregoing exemption shall remain subject to taxation. Said exemption shall be returned and claimed in such manner as prescribed by the General Assembly. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980.
Each resident of Lowndes County who is 65 years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all Lowndes County ad valorem taxation for county and school pur poses, except to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness, in the amount of $10,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence.

Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the tax commissioner of Lowndes County, giving his age and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The tax commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption and the provisions of law applicable to the pro cessing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Once any such owner has filed the proper affidavit and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make applica tion and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall con tinue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980."

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1980

929

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Title 84, relating to professions, businesses, and trades, as amended, is hereby amended by adding after Code Chapter 84-9, relating to medical practitioners, a new Code Chapter 84-9A to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 84-9A Controlled Substances Therapeutic
Research Act
84-901A. Short title. This Code chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Con trolled Substances Therapeutic Research Act.'
84-902A. Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds and declares that the poten tial medicinal value of marijuana has received insufficient study due to a lack of finan cial incentives for the undertaking of appropriate research by private drug manufacturing concerns. Individual physicians cannot feasibly utilize marijuana in clini cal trials because of federal governmental controls which involve expensive, timeconsuming approval and monitoring procedures.
The General Assembly further finds and declares that limited studies throughout the nation indicate that marijuana and certain of its derivatives possess valuable and in some cases unique therapeutic properties, including the ability to relieve nausea and vomiting which routinely accompany chemotherapy and irradiation used to treat cancer patients. Marijuana also may be effective in reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients who do not respond well to conventional medications.
The General Assembly further finds and declares that, in enabling individual physi cians and their patients to participate in a state sponsored program for the investigational use of marijuana and its derivatives, qualified physicians and surgeons throughout the state will be able to study the benefits of the drug in a controlled clinical setting and additional knowledge will be gained with respect to dosage and effects.
It is the intent of the General Assembly in enacting this Code chapter to permit research into the therapeutic applications of marijuana and its derivatives in cancer and glaucoma patients. This would allow qualified physicians approved by the Patient Quali fication Review Board to provide the drug on a compassionate basis to seriously ill per sons suffering from the severe side effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatment and to persons suffering from glaucoma who are not responding to coventional treatment, which persons would otherwise have no lawful access to it. It is further the intent of the General Assembly to facilitate clinical trials of marijuana and its derivatives, partic ularly with respect to persons suffering from cancer and glaucoma who would be bene fited by use of the drug.
This Code chapter is limited to clinical trials and research into therapeutic applica tions of marijuana only for use in treating glaucoma and in treating the side effects of chemotherapeutic agents and radiation and should not be construed as either encour aging or sanctioning the social use of marijuana. Nothing in this Code chapter shall be construed to encourage the use of marijuana in lieu of or in conjunction with other accepted medical treatment, but only as an adjunct to such accepted medical treatment.
84-903A. Definitions. As used in this Code chapter, unless the context otherwise clearly requires:
(1) 'Composite board' means the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners established pursuant to Code Chapter 84-9, as now or hereafter amended.
(2) 'Marijuana' means marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol, as defined or listed in the 'Georgia Controlled Substances Act,' as now or hereafter amended.
(3) 'Physician' means a person licensed to practice medicine pursuant to Code Chapter 84-9, as now or hereafter amended.
(4) 'Program' means the Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Program established pursuant to Code Section 84-904A.
(5) 'Review board' means the Patient Qualification Review Board established pur suant to Code Section 84-905A. 84-904A. Program established, (a) There is established under the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners the Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Program,

930

(1) The composite board; (2) The review board; (3) The Attorney General or his designee; (4) Any person directly connected with the program who has a legitimate need for
the information; and (5) Any federal agency having responsibility for the program.
84-905A. Patient Qualification Review Board, (a) The composite board shall appoint the Patient Qualification Review Board. Each member of the review board shall be approved for such membership by a majority vote of the composite board and shall serve at the pleasure of the composite board. The review board shall be comprised of:
(1) A board certified physician in ophthalmology; (2) A board certified physician in surgery; (3) A board certified physician in internal medicine and medical oncology;
(4) A board certified physician in psychiatry;
(5) A board certified physician in radiology; and

General Assembly.
(c) The composite board shall adopt such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the performance of the duties of the review board.
(d) The review board shall review all patient applicants for the program and their physicians and shall certify those qualified for their participation in the program. The review board shall additionally certify pharmacies which are licensed by the state and

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1980

931

which are otherwise qualified, and physicians regarding the distribution of marijuana pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 84-906A. Meetings of the review board to certify patients, physicians, or pharmacies shall not be open to the public, as otherwise required by an Act providing for open meetings, approved March 28, 1972 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 575), as now or hereafter amended.
84-906A. Distribution, (a) The composite board shall apply to contract with the National Institute on Drug Abuse for receipt of marijuana pursuant to the provisions of this Code chapter and pursuant to regulations promulgated by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency.
(b) The composite board shall cause marijuana approved for use in the program to be transferred to a certified pharmacy, licensed by the state for distribution to the certi fied patient by a licensed pharmacist upon a written order for research medication of the certified physician, pursuant to this Code chapter. Any reasonable costs incurred by the composite board in obtaining or testing marijuana shall be charged to participating physicians who may seek reimbursement from their research subjects utilizing the mari juana.
84-907A. Certain uses of marijuana not unlawful. Patient participants in the program are immune from state prosecution for possession of marijuana authorized such persons by this Code chapter and under the program herein established. Physician, pharmacy, and pharmacist participants in the program are immune from state prosecution for pos session, distribution, and any other use of marijuana, which use is authorized such per sons by this Code chapter and under the program herein established.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

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 condi tions and limitations; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for severability; to provide for application; 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 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. 41} (a) Generally, an agency is revocable at the will of the principal. The appointment of a new agent for the perfor mance 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.
{3} (b) But every creditor or other person advancing money upon the pledge of a cer tificate 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 corpora tion, as before the death, insanity, or legal disability of such person.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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 fol lows:
"4-214.1. When power of attorney not affected by disability, (a) As used in this Section, 'durable power of attorney' means a power of attorney by which a principal des^ ignates another his attorney in fact in writing and the writing contains the words 'This power of attorney shall not be affected by subsequent disability or incompetency of the principal,' or 'This power of attorney shall become effective [at the time of a readily ascertained future event as described in the power] and shall continue thereafter even though the principal is then or later becomes disabled or incompetent,' or similar words showing the intent of the principal that the authority conferred shall be exercisable not withstanding the principal's subsequent disability or incompetency.
A written pewer- ef attorney, unless expressly providing otherwise, shall net be termi nated by- the incompetency e the- principal. T-he- power to- act- as- an- attorney in fact fera principal whe subsequently becomes incompetent shall remain m force until such time fts ft ifUftPdiftn &f receiver snftil oe~ ftppointcd top trie pnncipfll OF until some" OMICP juu.icifl.1 proceeding shall terminate the power.
(b) All acts done by the attorney in fact pursuant to a durable power of attorney during any period of disability or incompetency of the principal have the same effect and inure to the benefit of and bind the principal and his successors in interest as if the principal were competent and not disabled.
(c) (1) If, following execution of a durable power of attorney, a court appoints a guardian of the property or other fiduciary charged with the management of all of the principal's property or all of his property except specified exclusions, the attorney in fact is accountable to the fiduciary as well as to the principal. The fiduciary has the same power to revoke or amend the durable power of attorney that the principal would have had if he were not disabled or incompetent.

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.

Mr. Speaker

On the passage of the Bill, as amended, the ayes were 139, nays 15.
The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed, as amended.

HB 1391. By: Representatives Parham of the 109th and Harris of the 8th: A BILL to pro vide for the licensure of home health agencies and applications therefor; to exempt home health services provided under certain conditions; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To provide for the licensure of home health agencies and applications therefor; to exempt home health services provided under certain conditions; to provide for definitions; to authorize and direct the Department of Human Resources to develop rules, standards, and regulations governing the regulation of licensed home health agencies; to provide for certain actions relating to licenses; to provide for inspections; to provide for penalties; to provide for application of certificate of need and exemptions therefrom; to provide for fees; to provide for severability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Exemptions. This Act shall not apply to services which are provided under the following conditions:
(1) Persons who provide personal or para-professional health services, either with or without compensation when there is no claim that the service is provided as a part of a licensed home health agency;
(2) Persons who provide professional services for which they are duly licensed under Georgia laws, when there is no claim that the service is provided as a part of a licensed home health agency;
(3) Services provided under the provisions of any other license issued by the State of Georgia when there is no claim that the service is provided as a part of a licensed or certified home health agency.
Section 2. Definitions. In this Act: (1) "Board" shall mean the Board of Human Resources. (2) "Department" shall mean Georgia Department of Human Resources. (3) "Home health agency" shall mean a public, nonprofit, or proprietary organiza
tion, whether owned or operated by one or more persons or legal entities, which fur nishes or offers to furnish home health services.
(4) "Home health services" shall mean those items and services furnished to an individual, according to a written plan of treatment signed by the patient's physician,

968

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

by a home health agency or others under arrangement with the home health agency, on a visit or hourly basis, in a place of temporary or permanent residence used as the individual's home as follows:
(a) Part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care as ordered by a physician and provided by or under the supervision of a registered nurse and at least one other service listed below;
(b) Physical, occupational, or speech therapy; (c) Medical social services; (d) Home health aide services; (5) "Plan of treatment" means a plan written, signed, and reviewed at least every two months by the patient's physician prescribing items and services for the patient's condition. (6) "Parent home health agency" shall mean the agency that develops and main tains administrative controls of subunits or branch offices. (7) "Subunit" shall mean a semiautonomous organization, which serves patients in a geographic area different from that of the parent agency. The subunit by virtue of the distance between it and the parent agency is judged incapable of sharing adminis tration, supervision, and services on a daily basis with the parent agency, and must, therefore, independently meet the licensing requirements for a home health agency, and shall be separately licensed. (8) "License" shall mean a license issued by the Department. (9) "Licensee" shall mean the individual, corporation, or public entity with whom rests the ultimate responsibility for maintaining approved standards for the home health agency. (10) "Registered nurse" shall mean an individual who is currently licensed as a registered professional nurse in this state. (11) "Physician" shall mean an individual currently licensed or authorized to prac tice medicine, surgery, or osteopathy in this state. (12) "Branch office" shall mean a location or site identified in the application or endorsement thereto from which a home health agency provides services within a por tion of the total geographic area served by the parent agency. The branch office is part of the home health agency and is located sufficiently close to share administra tion, supervision, and services in a manner that renders it unnecessary for the branch independently to meet the requirements of this Act.
Section 3. Licensing requirement. No person, private or public organization, political subdivision, or other governmental agency may operate a home health agency as defined herein without first obtaining a license from the department. A license issued under this Act is not assignable or transferable and is subject to suspension or revocation at any time for failure to comply with this Act.
Section 4. Application for a license. Any person, organization, or agency desiring to operate a home health agency shall file with the department an application on a form pre scribed, prepared, and furnished by the department. The application shall contain such information as the department may require which is reasonably related to the depart ment's licensure, purpose, and function.
Section 5. Rules and standards. The department shall promulgate regulations which define standards for the care, treatment, health, safety, welfare, and comfort of patients served by home health agencies, and for the maintenance and operation of home health agencies which will promote safe and adequate care and treatment of the patients. These regulations shall be no less stringent than those required for participation of home health agencies in the Title XVIII (medicare) program and shall include, but not be limited to: a provision requiring the agency to have policies established by a professional group, which includes at least one physician and one registered nurse and appropriate representation from other professional disciplines; provisions governing the services the agency provides; provisions for the supervision of services by a physician or registered nurse as appropriate and maintenance of clinical records on all patients, including a plan of treatment pre scribed by a physician. The department is authorized to issue, deny, suspend, or revoke

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1980

969

licenses in accordance with regulations promulgated pursuant to this section. Such regula tions shall also include hearing procedures related to denial, suspension, or revocation of licenses.
Section 6. Inspections. Each home health agency for which a license has been issued shall be periodically inspected by an authorized representative of the department. Such inspections shall be for the purpose of ensuring that the provisions of this Act are being followed. The department is directed to ensure by inspection that the licensee is providing quality care to its patients in accordance with the orders of the patient's physician; pro vided, however, that an agency shall be exempt from an additional on-site licensure inspec tion if certified in a federal program for reimbursement of medicare or medicaid services.
Section 7. Penalties. Any person who operates a home health agency without first obtaining a license pursuant to the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction, shall be fined not to exceed $500.00 or imprisoned for a period not to exceed six months or both.
Section 8. Certificate of need. No home health agency initiating service or extending the range of its service area shall be licensed unless the State Health Planning and Devel opment Agency determines, in accordance with the Georgia Certificate of Need law and regulations pursuant thereto, that there is a need for said services within the area to be served. All home health agencies which were delivering services prior to July 1, 1979, and were certified for participation in either Title XVIII or Title XIX of the Federal Social Security Act prior to such date shall be exempt from a certificate of need.
Section 9. Fee system. The department is hereby authorized to establish by stan dards and policies a fee system which will be applied to all subjects of this Act in order to defray the actual expenses which are incurred by discharging the obligations of this Act.
Section 10. Severability. If any provisions of this Act, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of the Act and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
Section 11. Repealer. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representatives Parham of the 109th and Harris of the 8th move to amend the Committee substitute to HB 1391 by striking from lines 8 through 11 of page 6 the following:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL
To amend Code Title 74, relating to parent and child, as amended, so as to enact a new Code Chapter 74-3; to provide a civil procedure for the determination of paternity; to provide the jurisdiction of proceedings to determine paternity; to provide for jurisdic tion over nonresidents; to provide for venue; to provide who may bring such actions; to provide that the child shall be made a party to such actions; to provide for pretrial pro ceedings; to require blood tests in disputed paternity actions; to provide for evidence to be presented at trial; to provide that such actions shall be civil in nature; to provide for settlement; to provide for a decree of paternity; to establish the effect of a decree of pater nity; to provide for payment of costs; to provide for an order of support; to provide for enforcement of the duty of support; to provide all hearings may be confidential; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to state legislative intent; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Title 74, relating to parent and child, as amended, is hereby amended by adding a new Code Chapter 74-3 to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 74-3 Determination of Paternity 74-301. Jurisdiction. The superior and state courts of the several counties shall have concurrent jurisdiction in all proceedings for the determination of paternity of children who are residents of this state. The state courts shall have such concurrent jurisdiction notwithstanding any contrary provision of local law. 74-302. Service outside state, (a) In a proceeding under this chapter, the court, pur suant to the 'Georgia Civil Practice Act,' may order service upon a person outside the state upon a finding that there is a constitutionally permissible basis for jurisdiction over such person arising out of the fact that the child was conceived in this state while the alleged father was a resident of this state and the person on whom service is required is the alleged father of the child. 74-303. Venue. The suit shall be brought in the county where the alleged father resides; except that if the alleged father is not a resident of this state, the suit shall be brought where the child resides. 74-304. Petition, (a) A petition to establish the paternity of a child may be brought by: (1) The child; (2) The mother of the child; or (3) The Department of Human Resources in the name of and for the benefit of a child for whom public assistance is received or in the name of and for the benefit of a child not the recipient of public services whose custodian has applied for services for the child. (b) Regardless of its terms, an agreement, other than an agreement approved by the court in accordance with this chapter, between an alleged or presumed father and the mother or child does not bar a petition under this section. (c) If a petition under this chapter is brought before the birth of the child, all pro ceedings shall be stayed until after the birth, except service of process, discovery, and the taking of depositions. 74-305. Parties, (a) The child shall be made a party to the action. If he is a minor, he shall be represented by a guardian ad litem appointed by the court. Neither the child's mother or alleged or presumed father may represent the child as guardian ad litem. (b) The natural mother shall be made a party or if not subject to the jurisdiction of the court shall be given notice in a manner prescribed by the court and an oppor tunity to be heard. 74-306. Pretrial proceedings. As soon as practicable after an action has been brought the court may order the mother, the alleged father, and the child to submit to blood tests, including human leucocyte antigen (HLA) testing if available. If the action is

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1980

973

brought prior to the birth of the child, the court shall order the blood tests made as soon as medically feasible after the birth. The tests shall be performed by an expert qualified as an examiner of blood types, appointed by the court. The court may, upon motion by a party, order that independent tests be performed by other experts qualified as examiners of blood types. In all cases, however, the court shall determine the number and qualifications of the experts. An order issued under this subsection is enforceable by contempt; except that if the petitioner refuses to submit to an order for a blood test, the court upon motion of the defendant may dismiss the suit.
74-307. Evidence at trial, (a) Results of medical and anthropological tests ordered by the court are admissible as other expert testimony.
(b) Evidence of a refusal to submit to a blood test or other ordered medical or anthropological test is admissible to show that the alleged father is not precluded from being the father of the child.
(c) An expert's opinion concerning the time of conception is admissible as other expert testimony.
(d) Testimony relating to sexual access to the mother by any person on or about the probable time of conception of the child is admissible in evidence.
(e) Other relevant evidence shall be admitted as is appropriate. 74-308. Civil action. Any proceeding brought under this chapter is a civil action governed
by the rules of civil procedure. The mother of the child and the alleged father are com petent to testify and may be compelled to appear and testify.
74-309. Settlement. The child must be a party to a settlement agreement with the alleged father. The court must approve any settlement agreement, dismissal, or nonsuit.
74-310. Decree, (a) On a finding that the alleged father is the father of the child, the court shall issue an order designating the alleged father as the father of the child. The sole effect of such order shall be to establish the duty of the father to support the child.
(b) On a finding that the alleged father is not the father of the child, the court shall issue an order declaring this finding.
74-311. Costs. The court may order reasonable fees of counsel, experts, and the child's guardian ad litem, and other costs of the action and pretrial proceedings, includ ing blood and other tests, to be paid by the parties in proportions and at times deter mined by the court.
74-312. Order of support, (a) The decree or order may contain any other provision concerning the duty to support by periodic or lump sum payments, visitation privileges with the child, or any other matter in the best interest of the child.
74-313. Enforcement and modification of orders, (a) The court may order support payments made to the mother, the child support receiver, or the clerk of court; except in those cases where the action has been brought by the Department of Human Resources on behalf of a child, the support payment shall be made to the Department of Human Resources for distribution or to the child support receiver if the Department of Human Resources so requests.
(b) The same remedies and procedure shall apply for enforcement and modification of visitation and support orders as apply to enforcement and modification of such orders arising from divorce proceedings.
74-314. Confidentiality of hearings. Upon motion of any party, any hearing or trial held under this chapter may be held in closed court without admittance of any person other than those necessary to the action or proceeding."
Section 2. The provisions of this Act and the remedy provided herein are intended to be in addition to and cumulative of all other existing laws related to paternity, child support, or other subjects covered herein; and this Act shall not be construed to limit the operation of or repeal any such existing law.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Laws 1978, p. 1705), so as to provide that no future extension of credit, shall be secured by virtue of an "open-end" clause in the mortgage or deed to secure debt if the grantor of the instrument has trans ferred the property or a valuable interest therein and if the transfer instrument has been filed for record and actual knowledge of such transfer given to the holder of such mortgage or deed to secure debt; provided, however, that advances made to pay taxes, premiums on insurance, to pay sums due the holder of a deed to secure debt or lien on the property without which payment the secured position of the holder of the mortgage or deed to secure debt advancing such payment would be jeopardized, to repair, maintain or preserve the property and to complete improvements on the property, and expenses incident to the collection of the secured debt and the foreclosure thereof by court action and/or by exer cise of a power of sale, shall be secured by a real estate mortgage or deed to secure debt whether or not such mortgage or deed to secure debt contains clauses providing therefore; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

(a) A real estate mortgage or deed conveying realty as security for a debt shall secure (whether or not it contains clauses providing therefor) advances made to pay taxes, to pay premiums on insurance on the property, to pay sums due the holder of a deed to secure debt or lien on the property without which payment the secured position of the holder of the mortgage or deed to secure debt advancing such payment would be jeopardized, to repair, maintain or preserve the property, and to complete improvements on the property whether such advances were made by the original owner or any subsequent owner of the mortgage or deed to secure debt, and whether the prop erty is still owned by the the original mortgagor or grantor or owned by a subsequent purchaser of such property, and shall secure all expenses incident to the collection of the debt thereby secured and the foreclosure thereof by action in any court and/or by exercise of the power of sale therein contained.
(b) Except for the above-described advances set out in subsection (a) above, any extension of credit to the mortgagor or grantor after the effective date of this Act shall not be secured by virtue of the operation of an 'open-end' clause described in Section 1 if the grantor of the instrument containing such 'open-end' clause has transferred the property subject to such instrument or any valuable interest in such property if the instrument effecting such transfer has been filed for record and actual notice of such transfer given to the holder of such instrument. In addition to other means of furnishing actual notice, for the purpose of this subsection, 'actual notice' shall be deemed to have been given to the holder of such instrument upon evidence that a properly stamped envelope addressed to said holder at its principal office, containing a copy of the recorded transfer, was placed in the United States Mail for Registered or Certified deliv ery and the holder or an officer, agent, employee or representative of the holder acknowledged receipt thereof on a United States Postal Service Return Receipt Form for Registered or Certified Mail Delivery."

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to increase the homestead exemp tions for tax purposes of certain property owned by certain residents of Monroe 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 VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"The homestead of each resident of Monroe County actually occupied by the owner as a residence and homestead, and only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, but not to exceed $6,000.00 of its value, is hereby exempted from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except taxation to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness. The value of all property in excess of the foregoing exemption shall remain subject to taxation. Said exemption shall be returned and claimed in such manner as prescribed by the General Assembly. The increased exemp tion provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980.
Each resident of Monroe County who is sixty-five years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except taxation to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness, in the total amount of $10,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as herein after provided, does not exceed $10,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension system, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Monroe County, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The tax commissioner shall provide

1027

affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same man ner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Once any such owner has filed the proper affidavit and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, how ever, to notify the tax commissioner in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary there for. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years begin ning after December 31, 1980."

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.
The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

All persons desiring to vote in favor of ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote ""YNeos"".. All persons desiring to vote against ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote

Mr. Speaker

Representative Hill of the 127th requested that he be recorded as voting "nay" on the adoption of HR 572.

Representative Steinberg of the 46th gave notice that at the proper time she would request that the House reconsider its action in adopting HR 572.

Representative Clark of the 55th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
Please have entered upon the Journal, protest of HR No. 572 by Representative Betty J. Clark, pursuant to Rule 74.
/s/Betty J. Clark February 5, 1980

Representative Hawkins of the 50th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
2-5-80
I protest the action of the House on H.R. 572 and request that my protest be entered in the Journal of the House.
/s/John Hawkins of the 50th

Representative Richardson of the 52nd requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
From the desk of Eleanor L. Richardson

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1980

1073

I protest the action of the House in giving H.R. 572 a "Do Pass" and request that my protest be entered upon the Journal of the House.

Representative Felton of the 22nd requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
In keeping with my previous record of voting, I abstained from voting on the final adoption of HR 572 inasmuch as it pertained to requesting Congress on matters which ultimately must be decided by them.
I am opposed to Resolutions of this type.
Felton of the 22nd

Representative Parkman of the 134th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
Believing that women bear not alone the moral and spiritual strength of our nation and being convinced that the continuation of the family unit depends upon the mutual support of both women and men in our nation; I believe that the reponsibility of the home, religious, moral and social training of the child, indeed all aspects of child rearing, is a joint responsibility of both mother and father.
My vote of "No" on HR 572 directing the President of the United States, the United States Congress and the Governors of the fifty states is not the appropriate way for me to address the issue of possible registration of women in preparation for a possible draft.
This is an issue that must be addressed by each individual citizen according to the dictates of his or her conscience at the proper time to the proper authorities.
The question of registration of women in preparation for future draft is vital, impor tant and, yes, so emotional that I feel a joint resolution is not the appropriate vehicle for sanction or protest at this time.
$/s/Lillian H. Parkman

Representative Galer of the 97th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
I believe women should not be asked to register for the draft and have to accept responsibilities toward their country in addition to their duties as wife and mother.
I voted against HR 572 based on the fact that this resolution did not have the proper hearing when it was voted out of committee, and on the fact that I believe National issues should be decided individually, or in Congress, or by the President rather than on the floor of this House.
/s/Mary Jane Galer

Representative Steinberg of the 46th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
Re: Vote on HR 572 As the mother of two daughters, I was not voting against the sanctity of the family but against the Georgia House of Representatives voting on this issue. I do not support the registration of women without passage of the Equal Rights Amendment -- equal responsibility without equal rights seems unfair.
/s/Cathey W. Steinberg

1074

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Representative Swann of the 90th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:

House of Representatives Atlanta, Georgia
Position Statement on HR 572
While I concur with the basic premise that women have unquestionably contributed to the moral and spiritual fiber of our society and, I might add, oftimes selflessly. And while I cannot at this time reconcile the proposition to involuntarily inscript women into the armed services, I cannot in all good conscience accept the subject matter of HR 572 to be germane to this General Assembly, nor am I convinced that a privilege resolution is the most appropriate vehicle to debate the expressed or implied status of women while other more suitable means remain at our disposal.
I refuse to give credence to this utter disregard for the most rudimentary principles of debate by casting an approving vote Mr. Speaker, and I therefore say no to the Gentleman from the 53rd's resolution.
/s/David Swann, District 90

Representative Nichols of the 27th requested that the following statement appear in the Journal:
House of Representatives Atlanta, Georgia
February 8, 1980
To: Clerk, House of Representatives
Re: H. R. 572
I hereby record my opposition to the passage of H. R. 572. It has been fully six years since this House has had an opportunity to cast its votes upon the ratification of a pending amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the Equal Rights Amendment.
H. R. 572, under the guise of personal privilege, has not addressed the ratification of the ERA; the resolution remains only empty rhetoric, robbed of any substance. I remain unalterably opposed to this resolution.
/s/Michael C. Nichols

The following Resolutions of the House were read and adopted:

HR 628. By: Representative Beal of the 28th: A RESOLUTION commending Thomas Glanton, Jr., for his bravery and quick thinking; and for other purposes.

HR 629. By: Representatives Beal of the 28th, Canty of the 38th, Holmes of the 39th, Scott of the 37th, Williams of the 54th, Dean of the 29th, and Hamilton of the 31st: A RESOLUTION commending Mrs. Naomi B. King; and for other pur poses.

HR 630. By: Representatives Beal of the 28th, Canty of the 38th, Holmes of the 39th, Scott of the 37th, Williams of the 54th, Dean of the 29th, Hamilton of the 31st, and Ham of the 80th: A RESOLUTION commending Ms. Rita J. Samuels; and

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"The homestead of each resident of Ben Hill County actually occupied by the owner as a residence and homestead, and only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, but not to exceed $6,000.00 of its value, is hereby exempted from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except taxation to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness. The value of all property in excess of the foregoing exemption shall remain subject to taxation. Said exemption shall be returned and claimed in such manner as prescribed by the General Assembly. The increased exemp tion provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980.
Each resident of Ben Hill County who is sixty-five years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except taxation to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness, in the total amount of $12,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as herein after provided, does not exceed $4,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension sys tem, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Ben Hill County, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The tax commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the pro cessing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Once any such owner has filed the proper affidavit and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make applica tion and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall con tinue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980."
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.

Revenue Bond Law (Ga. Laws 1957, pp. 36, et seq.) amending the law formerly known as the Revenue Certificate Law of 1937 (Ga.

G. Same; form; denominations; registration; place of payment. The authority shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of principal and interest thereof, which may be at any bank or trust com pany within or without the state. 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 the principal alone and also as to both the principal and inter est.
H. Same; signature; seal. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until such delivery. All such bonds shall be signed manually or by use of the facsimile signature of the chair man of the authority and attested by the secretary and treasurer of the authority and the official seal of the authority shall be affixed thereto and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signatures of the chairman and secretary and treasurer of the authority. Any bond may be signed, sealed, and attested on behalf of the author ity by such persons as at the actual time of the execution of such bonds shall be duly authorized to hold the proper office, although at the date of delivery and payment of such bonds such persons may not have been so authorized or shall not have held such office.
I. Same; negotiability; exemption from taxation. All revenue bonds issued under the provisions hereof shall be fully negotiable for all purposes and shall have and are hereby declared to have all of the qualifications of negotiable instruments under the laws of the state. Such bonds are declared to be issued for an essential public and governmental purpose and the said bonds and the income thereof shall be exempt from all taxation within the state.
J. Same; sale; price. The authority may sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be for the best interest of the authority.
K. Same; proceeds of bonds. The proceeds of such bonds shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the project or projects; and, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of any deficit, which unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture shall be deemed to be of the same issue and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without preference or priority of the bonds first issued for the same pur pose. If the proceeds of the bonds of any issue shall exceed the amount required for the purpose for which such bonds are issued, the surplus shall be paid into such funds as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture.
L. Same; interim receipts and certificates or temporary bonds. Prior to the prepara tion of definitive bonds, the authority may, under like restrictions, issue interim receipts, interim certificates, or temporary bonds, with or without coupons exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter.
M. Same; replacement of lost or mutilated bonds. The authority may also provide for the replacement of any bond which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost.
N. Same; conditions precedent to issuance; object of issuance. Such revenue bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things than those proceedings, conditions, and things which are specified or required herein.

Any resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds upon the provisions hereof shall become effective immediately upon its passage and need not be published or posted, and any such resolution may be passed

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1980

1093

at any regular or special or adjourned meeting of the authority by a majority of the quo rum as herein provided.
O. Revenue bonds not debt. Revenue bonds issued by the authority hereunder shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of Gwinnett County nor of any municipality, county, authority, or political subdivision of the State of Georgia or instrumentality of the United States government which may contract with such authority. No contracts entered into by the authority with any such municipality, county, authority, or political subdivi sion of the State of Georgia, or instrumentality of the United States government shall create a debt of the respective municipalities, counties, authorities, or political subdivi sions of the State of Georgia within the meaning of Article IX, Section VII, Paragraph I of the Constitution of the State of Georgia; but Gwinnett County may obligate itself to make the payments required under such contracts with moneys derived from the gen eral funds of the County derived from taxation and from other lawful sources, without creating a debt within the meaning of Article IX, Section VII, Paragraph I of the Con stitution of the State of Georgia.
P. Same; trust indenture as security. 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 outside of the state. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign fees, tolls, revenues, and earnings to be received by the authority, including the proceeds derived from the sale from time to time of any surplus property of the author ity, both real and personal. 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 rela tion to the acquisition of property; the construction of the project; the maintenance, operation, repair, and insurance of the property; and the custody, safeguarding, and application of all moneys, including the proceeds derived from the sale of property of the authority, both real and personal, 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 pur chasers of the bonds issued therefor, and may also require that the security given by contractors and by any depository of the proceeds of the bonds or revenues or other moneys be satisfactory to such purchasers, and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state to act as such depository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corpo rations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provi sions 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.
Q. Same; to whom proceeds of bonds shall be paid. The authority shall, in the resolu tion 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 are herein provided and such regulations as may be provided in such resolution or trust indenture.
R. Same; sinking fund. The revenues, fees, tolls, and earnings derived from any partic ular project or projects, regardless of whether or not such fees, earnings, and revenues were produced by a particular project for which bonds have been issued and any moneys derived from the sale of any properties, both real and personal of the authority, unless
otherwise pledged and allocated, may be pledged and allocated by the authority to the

1094

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

payment of the principal and interest on revenue bonds of the authority as the resolu tion authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust instrument may provide; and such funds so pledged from whatever source received, which said pledge may include funds received from one or more or all sources, shall be set aside at regular intervals, as may be provided in the resolution or trust indenture, into a sinking fund which said sinking fund shall be pledged to and charged with the payments of (1) the interest upon such revenue bonds as such interest shall fall due, (2) the principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due, (3) the necessary charges of paying agent or agents for paying prin cipal and interest, and (4) any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as hereinabove provided. The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such reso lution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be a fund for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, surplus moneys in the sinking fund may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds; and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be canceled and shall not again be issued.
S. Same; remedies of bondholders. Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the provisions hereof or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, and the trustee under the trust indenture, if any, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by resolution passed before the issuance of the bonds or by the trust indenture, may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or granted hereunder or under such resolution or trust indenture, and may enforce and compel performance of all duties required herein or by such resolution or trust indenture, to be performed by the authority, or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging, and collecting of revenues, fees, tolls, and other charges for the use of the facilities and services furnished.
T. Same; refunding bonds. The authority is hereby authorized to provide by resolution for the issue of revenue bonds of the authority for the purpose of refunding any revenue bonds issued under the provisions hereof and then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon. The issuance of such revenue refunding bonds, the maturities and all other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and the duties of the authority in respect to the same, shall be governed by the foregoing provisions hereof insofar as the same may be applicable.
U. Same; venue and jurisdiction. Any action to protect or enforce any rights under the provisions hereof or any suit or action against such authority shall be brought in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, and any action pertaining to validation of any bonds issued under the provisions hereof shall likewise be brought in said court which shall have exclusive, original jurisdiction of such actions.
V. Same; validation. Bonds of the authority shall be confirmed and validated in accor dance with the procedure of the Revenue Bond Law. The petition for validation shall also make party defendant to such action any municipality, county, authority, subdivi sion, or instrumentality of the State of Georgia or the United States government or any department or agency of the United States government, if subject to be sued, which has contracted with the authority for the services and facilities of the project for which bonds are to be issued and sought to be validated and such municipality, county, authority, subdivision, or instrumentality shall be required to show cause, if any, why such contract or contracts and the terms and conditions thereof should not be inquired into by the court and the validity of the terms thereof be determined and the contract or contracts adjudicated as security for the payment of any such bonds of the authority. The bonds when validated and the judgment of validation shall be final and conclusive with respect to such bonds against the authority issuing the same, and any municipality, county, authority, subdivision, or instrumentality of the United States government, if a party to the validation proceedings, contracting with the said authority.
W. Same; interest of bondholders protected. While any of the bonds issued by the authority remain outstanding, the powers, duties, or existence of said authority or of its

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1980

1095

officers, employees, or agents shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will affect adversely the interest and rights of the holders of such bonds, and no other entity, department, agency, or authority will be created which will compete with the authority to such an extent as to affect adversely the interest and rights of the holders of such bonds, nor will the state itself so compete with the authority. The provisions hereof shall be for the benefit of the authority and the holders of any such bonds, and upon the issuance of bonds under the provisions hereof shall constitute a contract with the holders of such bonds.
X. Moneys received considered trust funds. All moneys received pursuant to the authority hereof, whether as proceeds from the sale of revenue bonds, as grants or other contributions, or as revenues, income, fees and earnings, shall be deemed to be trust funds to be held and applied solely as provided for herein.
Y. Exemption from taxation.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

or registered form, or both, as the authority may determine and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to the principal alone and also as to both the principal and interest.
Section 8. Same; signatures; seal. All such bonds shall be executed by the manual or facsimile signature of the chairman or the vice chairman of the authority and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the secretary and treasurer of the authority and the official seal of the authority shall be affixed thereto and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signatures of the chairman or vice chairman and the secretary and treasurer of the authority.

In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any bond or on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before delivery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he or she had remained in office until such delivery.
Section 9. Same; negotiability; exemption from taxation. All revenue bonds issued under the provisions hereof shall have and are hereby declared to have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under laws of the state.

Section 10. Same; sale; proceeds. The authority may sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be in the best interest of the authority and the proceeds derived from the sale of such bonds shall be used solely for the purposes provided in the proceedings authorizing the issuance of such bonds.

Section 12. Same; replacement of lost or mutilated bonds. The authority may also pro vide for the replacement of any bond or any coupon which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost.
Section 13. Same; conditions precedent to issuance. Such revenue bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things than those proceedings, conditions, and things which are specified or required hereby.

Section 14. Credit not pledged. Revenue bonds issued hereunder shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of Rockdale County, nor a pledge of the faith and credit of said county; but such bonds shall be payable solely from the funds hereinafter provided for; and the issuance of such revenue bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate said county to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment; and all such bonds shall contain recitals on their face covering substantially the foregoing provisions of this sentence.
Section 15. Trust indenture as security. In the discretion of the authority, any issue of 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 outside of the State of Georgia.

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

1155

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 mainte nance, operation, repair, and insurance of the project, and the custody, safeguarding, and application of all moneys, including the proceeds derived from the sale of property of the authority, both real and personal, 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 may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state to act as such depository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and deben tures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out any 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 16. To whom proceeds of bonds shall be paid. The authority shall, in the reso
lution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or in such 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
resolution or trust indenture may provide. Section 17. Sinking fund. The revenues, fees, tolls, and earnings derived from any par
ticular project or projects, regardless of whether or not such fees, earnings, and revenues
were produced by a particular project for which bonds have been issued and any moneys derived from the sale of any properties, both real and personal, of the authority, unless otherwise pledged and allocated, may be pledged and allocated by the authority to the
payment of the principal of and interest on revenue bonds of the authority as the reso lution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust instrument may provide; and such funds so pledged from whatever source received, which said pledge may include
funds received from one or more or all sources, shall be set aside at regular intervals as may be provided in the resolution or trust indenture into a sinking fund, which said sinking fund shall be pledged to and charged with the payment of: (1) the interest upon
such revenue bonds as such interest becomes due, (2) the principal of the bonds as the same becomes due, (3) any premium upon bonds acquired by redemption, payment, or otherwise, (4) the necessary charges of the paying agent or agents for paying principal
and interest, and (5) any investment fees or charges. The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds or in the trust indenture; but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall
be maintained as a trust account for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing
the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, any surplus moneys in the sinking fund may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be canceled and shall not be reissued, printed,
and delivered. Section 18. Remedies of bondholders. Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the
provisions hereof or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, and the trustee under the trust indenture, if any, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by resolution passed before the issuance of the bonds or by the trust indenture, may,
either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or granted hereunder
or under such resolution or trust indenture, and may enforce and compel performance of all duties required hereby or by such resolution or trust indenture, to be performed by the authority, or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging, and collecting of
revenues, fees, tolls, and other charges for the use of the facilities and services furnished.

Section 20. Venue and jurisdiction. Any action to protect or enforce any rights under the provisions hereof or any suit or action against such authority shall be brought in the Superior Court of Rockdale County, Georgia; and any action pertaining to validation of any bonds issued under the provisions hereof shall likewise be brought in said court, which shall have exclusive, original jurisdiction of such actions.
Section 21. Validation. Bonds of the authority shall be confirmed and validated in accordance with the procedure of the Revenue Bond Law, as now or hereafter amended. The petition for validation shall also make party defendant to such action any munici

the authority for the services and facilities of any project for which bonds are to be issued and sought to be validated; and such municipality, county, authority, political subdivision, or instrumentality shall be required to show cause, if any exists, why such
contract or contracts and the terms and conditions thereof should not be inquired into by the court and the validity of the terms thereof be determined and the contract or contracts adjudicated as a part of the basis of the security for the payment of any such bonds of the authority. The bonds, when validated, and the judgment of validation shall

authority remain outstanding, the powers, duties, or existence of the authority or of its officers, employees, or agents shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will affect adversely the interests and rights of the holders of such bonds; and no other
entity, department, agency, or authority will be created which will compete with the authority to such an extent as to affect adversely the interests and rights of the holders
of such bonds, nor will the state itself so compete with the authority. The provisions hereof shall be for the benefit of the authority and the holders of any such bonds and, upon the issuance of bonds under the provisions hereof, shall constitute a contract with the holders of such bonds.
Section 23. Moneys received considered trust funds. All moneys received pursuant to the provisions hereof, whether as proceeds from the sale of revenue bonds, as grants or other contributions, or as revenues, income, fees, and earnings, shall be deemed to be trust funds to be held and applied solely as provided herein and in the resolution pro
viding for the issuance of such bonds or such trust indenture. Section 24. Rates, charges, and revenues; use. The authority is authorized to prescribe
and revise from time to time rates, fees, tolls, and charges; and to collect such rates, fees, tolls, and charges for the services, facilities, or commodities furnished, including
leases, concessions, or subleases of its lands or facilities; and to determine the price and terms at and under which its lands or facilities may be sold; and, in anticipation of the
collection of the revenues and income of such undertakings or projects, to issue revenue bonds as herein provided to finance in whole or in part the cost of the acquisition, con
struction, reconstruction, improvement, equipment, betterment, or extension of its lands and facilities; and to pledge to the punctual payment of said bonds and interest thereon

Section 25. Rules and regulations for operation of projects. It shall be the duty of the authority to prescribe rules and regulations for the operation of the project or projects

Section 27. Immunity from tort actions. The authority shall have the same immunity and exemption from liability for torts and negligence as the State of Georgia; and the officers, agents, and employees of the authority, when in the performance of the work of the authority, shall have the same immunity and exemption from liability for torts and negligence as the officers, agents, and employees of the State of Georgia. The authority may be sued in the same manner as private corporations may be sued on any contractual obligations of the authority.
Section 28. Construction. This amendment and all provisions, rights, powers, and authority granted hereunder shall be effective, notwithstanding any other provision of the Constitution to the contrary; and this amendment and any law enacted with refer ence to the authority shall be liberally construed for the accomplishment of its purposes.
Section 29. Powers declared supplemental and additional. The foregoing provisions hereof shall be deemed to provide an additional and alternative method for the doing of the things authorized thereby, and shall be regarded as supplemental and additional to powers conferred elsewhere in the Constitution or by other laws, and shall not be regarded as in derogation of any powers now existing.
Section 30. Audit. At the conclusion of each fiscal year of the authority, the financial affairs of the authority shall be audited by an independent certified public accounting firm. The board of commissioners of Rockdale County shall select the firm which shall conduct the audit.
Section 31. Repeal.

Laws 1957, p. 36), as amended, amending the law formerly known as the Revenue Certificate Law of 1937 (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 761), as amended.
Section 32. Activation of authority. The authority shall be deemed to be created upon the effectiveness of this amendment. However, the authority shall not be deemed to be activated and thereby fully empowered to pursue its public purposes as specified herein until such time as the governing authority of Rockdale County shall, by appropriate resolution, declare the need for the authority to be activated and to operate within Rockdale County.
Section 33. General Assembly. This amendment is self-enacting and does not require any enabling legislation by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia for it to become effective. However, the General Assembly may, by law, further regulate the man agement and conduct of the authority not inconsistent with any other provisions of this Constitution. More specifically, the General Assembly may, by general or local legis lation, alter or change the structure, organization, programs, or activities of the authority and may terminate the authority, subject to the limitation that contracts of the author ity then in existence may not be impaired in violation of those provisions of the Consti tution of the United States of America and of the Constitution of the State of Georgia prohibiting the same."

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1980

1167

A nonresident salesman who acts in behalf of a broker holding a nonresident broker's license may, in the discretion of the Commission, be issued a nonresident salesman's license under such nonresident broker.
Should such nonresident licensee become a resident of the State of Georgia or desire to maintain a place of business in this State or to act for a broker maintaining a place of business in this State, he must secure a regular resident license in compliance with the statutes and rules governing original resident applicants; provided, that if another state requires a resident of this State to maintain a place of business in such other state, a resident of such other state shall maintain a place of business in this State and need not secure a regular resident license to maintain such place of business in this State.
A nonresident of this State shall meet the same rules and requirements of his resident state in order to obtain a reciprocal license in this State.
(b) Prior to the issuance of a license to a nonresident broker, he shall file with the Commission a designation in writing that appoints the Real Estate Commissioner to act as the licensee's agent, upon whom all judicial and other process or legal notices directed to such licensee may be served. Service upon the agent so designated shall be equivalent to personal service upon the licensee. Copies of such appointment, certified by the Com missioner, shall be deemed sufficient evidence thereof and shall be admitted in evidence with the same force and effect as the original thereof might be admitted, in such written designation, the licensee shall agree that any lawful process against the licensee, which is served upon such agent, shall be of the same legal force and validity as if served upon the licensee, and that the authority shall continue in force so long as any liability remains outstanding in this State. Upon the receipt of all such process or notices, the Commissioner shall forthwith mail a copy of the same by certified mail to the last known business address of said licensee.
(c) Prior to the issuance of said license to any nonresident, he-must file with the Commission a duly certified copy of the license issued by such nonresident for the con ducting of such business in any other state and pay to said Commission the same license fee as herein provided for the obtaining of a broker's or salesman's license in this State.
(d) Nonresident licenses granted under reciprocal agreements, as provided in this Section, shall remain in force, unless suspended or revoked by the Commission for just cause or for failure to pay the renewal fee, and only as long as a reciprocal agreement is in effect between this State and the resident state of the nonresident license.", and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"84-1415. Nonresident Licensees and Exemptions, (a) Any nonresident making an original application for a nonresident license after July 1, 1980, must comply with all provisions of this Code Section.
(b) A nonresident of this State may be granted a license upon meeting the age, edu cation, and examination requirements as prescribed by the Commission in its Rules and Regulations and in Code Section 84-1411. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to nonresident licensees who are licensed on or before July 1, 1980.
(c) A nonresident salesperson's or a nonresident associate broker's license may not be granted to an individual unless that individual is affiliated with a resident or nonresi dent broker. If a nonresident salesperson or a nonresident associate broker terminates his or her affiliation with a broker licensed by the Commission, the license of such non resident shall automatically be terminated unless such nonresident affiliates with another broker licensed by the Commission within 14 days. No license shall be issued to any member, officer, independent contractor, employee, or partner of a nonresident partnership or corporation until said partnership or corporation qualifies for a broker's license.
(d) At the time of filing an application for examination, a nonresident applicant must cause the licensing body of his resident state or territory to furnish to the Commis sion a certification of licensure and copies of the records of any disciplinary actions taken against the applicant's license in that or other states.
(e) The imposition of a disciplinary action by any other lawful licensing authority may be ground for denial of a license to a nonresident or for suspension or revocation of a license issued to a nonresident.

1168

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(f) Prior to the issuance of a license to a nonresident broker, associate broker, or salesperson, the applicant shall file with the Commission a designation in writing that appoints the Real Estate Commissioner to act as the licensee's agent, upon whom all judicial and other process or legal notices directed to such licensee may be served. Ser vice upon the Real Estate Commissioner shall be equivalent to personal service upon the licensee. Copies of such appointment, certified by the Commissioner, shall be deemed sufficient evidence thereof and shall be admitted in evidence with the same force and effect as the original thereof might be admitted. In such written designation, the licensee shall agree that any lawful process against the licensee which is served upon the Real Estate Commissioner shall be of the same legal force and validity as if served upon the licensee and that the authority shall continue in force so long as any liability remains outstanding in this State. Upon the receipt of any such process or notice, the Commis sioner shall forthwith mail a copy of the same by certified mail to the last known busi ness address of said licensee.
(g) The Commission may establish reasonable fees for nonresident licensees, not to exceed an amount twice that charged to resident licensees.
(h) The license of a resident of this State who removes his residency from this State shall automatically be terminated. In order to conduct brokerage business in this State, such an individual must meet the requirements of this Code Section, except that, if such individual applies for a nonresident's license within one year of removing his or her resi dence from this State, the prelicense educational and examination requirements of Code Section 84-1411 shall be waived.
(j) The Commission may elect to deny the privilege of nonresident licensure of this Code Section to persons from other licensing jurisdictions which do not grant similar rights to residents of Georgia.
(k) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Code Section, the Commission may elect to enter into other written agreements for nonresident licensure with other licens ing authorities or it may elect to enter into other written agreements which permit cobrokerage transactions between licensees; provided that such agreements are mutually advantageous to licensees and consistent with the public policies of this State to protect the public and to promote commerce between and among the states."
Section 7. Said Code Chapter is further amended by striking subsections (b) and (c) of Code Section 84-1418 in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof new subsections (b) and (c) to read as follows:
"(b) When a salesperson or associate broker leaves a broker for whom he is acting, the broker shall immediately cause the license of said licensee either to be forwarded to the Commission or forwarded to the new broker for whom the licensee will act. If the wall certificate of licensure is forwarded to the new broker for whom the licensee will act, the broker releasing the licensee shall notify the Commission in writing that he has taken that action. The releasing broker shall furnish such other information regard ing the termination of said licensee as the Commission may require.
(c) When a salesperson or associate broker transfers from one broker to another, or when an associate broker changes his status to that of a broker, a transfer fee shall be paid to the Commission."
Section 8. Said Code Chapter is further amended by adding after subparagraph 28 of the third undesignated paragraph of Code Section 84-1421 a new undesignated para graph to read as follows:
"When a licensee has previously been sanctioned by the Commission or by any other state's real estate brokerage licensing authority, the Commission, through its hearing officers, may consider any such prior sanctions in determining the severity of a new sanction which may be imposed upon a finding of an unfair trade practice or a violation of the Rules and Regulations of the Commission. The failure of a licensee to comply with or to obey a final order of the Commission may be cause for suspension or revoca tion of the individual's license after a hearing."
Section 9. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1980

1169

These five clerks shall be members of the retirement fund; provided, however, that at least one but not more than two of said clerks shall be retired clerks receiving retirement benefits. The terms of the clerks presently serving as members of the Board on the effective date of this Section shall be unaffected, and they shall continue serving until the expira tion of their current terms. The two additional clerks elected to the Board under this Section shall take office on July 1, 1979.

All of the members of the Board shall serve without pay but they shall be reimbursed for their actual expenses in attending meetings of the Board and performing the duties required as members of the Board. In case a vacancy occurs in any of the five seats occupied by the clerks, the remaining members shall elect a clerk who is a member of the retirement fund, or who is a retired clerk in accordance with the provisions of this Section, to fill the unexpired portion of the term. In case a vacancy occurs following the member's election by the clerks' group, but prior to his assumption of office on the next following January 1, the remaining mem bers of the Board shall elect a clerk who is a member of the retirement fund, or who is a retired clerk in accordance with the provisions of this Section, to replace the elected clerk whose seat will be vacant. In case a vacancy occurs in either of the two seats occu pied by the Governor and Attorney General, the person who serves as Governor or Attorney General, as the case may be, shall become a member of the Board. Four mem bers of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business."

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.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 93, relating to the Georgia Public Service Commission, so as to provide and revise certain provisions and procedures relative to the provision and regula tion of utility services in this state; to declare public policy; to define certain terms; to specify a code of conduct and ethics for members of the Public Service Commission; to provide for an executive director and a public information officer for the Commission; to provide for a utility finance section as a part of the Commission; to specify duties, limita tions, and relationships; to specify procedures for accounting for electric utilities under certain circumstances; to provide for tax accounting as a part of utility rate making; to provide for a consumers' utility counsel; to specify qualifications and limitations; to pro vide duties; to authorize staff; to provide for automatic repeal of certain provisions; to require certain notices to be given; to provide procedures for certain utility proceedings; to provide for hearing officers; to specify limitations; to provide for and require electric capacity certification; to provide for internal examination and management audits of elec tric utilities; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to amend an Act pro hibiting full-time appointive officials and employees of the state from engaging in certain transactions affecting the state, approved February 13, 1956 (Ga. Laws 1956, p. 60), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 23, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 813) and an Act approved April 5, 1978 (Ga.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Declaration of public policy. The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:
(1) The proper regulation of utilities is critical to the public interest and such regulation must be accomplished by a system of regulation which encourages public confidence in the regulatory process.
(2) Consumers of utility service in this state deserve adequate representation in proceedings affecting utility rates and service.
(3) The public interest requires that electric utilities be examined by their direc tors and by independent auditors in order to insure that such utilities are being man aged in an efficient and effective manner.
(4) The public interest requires that an adequate and reliable supply of electricity be available at reasonable rates both in the present and in the future.
(5) While existing electric productive capacity and some capacity presently under construction is sufficient and necessary to assure an adequate and reliable supply of electricity at present and in the near future, growth in the demand for electric utility service, conversion, or replacement of existing capacity to conserve scarce fuels and meet environmental requirements, and replacement of existing capacity upon its retirement from service all will require the construction of additional capacity; how ever, the construction of capacity which will not be needed is contrary to the public interest and should be avoided. The assurance of sufficient future capacity and the avoidance of unnecessary capacity present significant current benefits to the citizens of this state.
(6) If present and future electricity needs are to be met, it is imperative that necessary productive capacity can be financed by electric utilities on terms which are

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1980

1177

reasonable and fair to both the customers and investors of such electric utilities and that the regulation of such utilities must be rational and orderly.
Section 2. Code Title 93, relating to the Public Service Commission, is hereby amended by adding a new section after Code Section 93-101, to be designated Code Section 93-102, to read as follows:
"93-102. Additional terms defined. As used in this Code title: (1) 'Commission' means the Georgia Public Service Commission. (2) 'Electric utility' means any retail supplier of electricity whose rates are fixed
by the Commission. (3) 'Person' means any individual, partnership, trust, private or public corporation,
municipality, county, political subdivision, public authority, cooperative, association, or public or private organization of any character.
(4) 'Rate,' when used in this title with respect to an electric utility, means any rate, charge, classification, or service of an electric utility or any rule or regulation relating thereto.
(5) 'Utility' means any person who is subject in any way to the lawful jurisdiction of the Commission, but shall not apply to motor carriers or transportation utilities."
Section 3. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new section after Code Section 93-202, to be designated Code Section 93-202.1, to read as follows:
"93-202.1. Code of conduct; ethics of members of the Commission, (a) All members of the Commission shall adhere to the following code of conduct:
(1) A member shall uphold the integrity and independence of the Commission. (2) A member shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all his activities and he shall conduct himself properly and responsibly in his professional relationships with officials, employees, and agents of utilities. (3) A member shall perform the duties of his office impartially and diligently and he shall refrain from conduct that impairs the efficient administration of the duties of the Commission. (4) A member shall be temperate and dignified in his public activities. (5) A member shall refrain from political activity inappropriate to his Commission office. (6) A member shall not make false or misleading statements about his fellow com missioners or the Commission staff. (7) A member shall not make false or misleading statements regarding the facts of a proceeding pending before the Commission. (8) A member shall not own any interest of any kind in any utility, nor accept any gift or other thing of value from a utility under circumstances which a reasonable person would conclude might affect his judgment in regulatory matters. (9) A member shall not engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. (b) A member of the Commission violating any provision of this section shall be sub ject to censure by vote of a majority of the members elected to the Commission."
Section 4. Said Code title is further amended by adding two new sections after Code Section 93-207, to be designated Code Sections 93-207.1 and 93-207.2, respectively, to read as follows:
"93-207.1. Executive director, (a) On or before July 1, 1980, the Commission shall employ an executive director, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Commission.

Section 6. Said Code title is further amended by adding two new sections after Code Section 93-307.2, to be designated as Code Sections 93-307.3 and 93-307.4, respectively, to read as follows:
"93-307.3. Accounting for electric utilities, (a) In the event that the entity holding a certificate issued pursuant to Code Chapter 93-10 is an electric utility, the accounting treatments specified in this section shall apply in any proceeding before the Commission to determine the rates to be charged by the electric utility.
(b) All construction and preconstruction expenditures previously made or to be made during the test period by the electric utility in connection with a certificated electric plant, and subsequent capital improvements to such plant, shall be included in the rate base of the electric utility as invested capital upon which it is entitled to earn a reason able rate of return. Such expenditures shall be those 'components of construction cost' set forth in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Uniform System of Accounts Prescribed for Public Utilities and Licensees Subject to the Provisions of the Federal Power Act, 18 C.F.R. Part 101, or any succeeding regulation. The rate of return on invested capital which an electric utility shall be entitled to earn shall be set by the

1180

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Commission at such level as will enable the utility to produce a fair return for its share holders, considering changing economic conditions and other factors, to maintain its facilities and services in accordance with the reasonable requirements of its customers, and to compete in the capital market for funds on terms which are reasonable and which are fair to its existing investors; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to require the Commission to establish electric utility rates which provide an unreasonably high rate of return on the utility's common equity.
(c) Upon the inclusion in the rate base of such construction and preconstruction expenditures, the electric utility shall cease the capitalization of the carrying costs of such funds and the Commission shall not treat such carrying costs as earnings or income. The carrying costs of funds may be capitalized with respect to construction and preconstruction expenditures not included in the electric utility's invested capital upon which rates were fixed.
(d) In any proceeding to determine the rates to be charged by an electric utility, the electric utility shall file jurisdictionally allocated cost of service data on the basis of a test period and the Commission shall utilize a test period, consisting of actual data for the most recent 12 month period for which data are available, fully adjusted to reflect known, reasonable, and necessary estimated construction and preconstruction expendi tures and operations during the 12 months following the utility's proposed effective date of the rates. The utility shall have the burden of explaining and supporting the reason ableness of all estimates and adjustments contained in its cost of service data.
(e) In any case after the effective date of this Act where an electric utility transfers partial or total ownership of any electric plant, the electric utility shall return to its cus tomers the rate payers' cash contribution to the cost of construction, plus the income taxes actually paid by the electric utility in respect thereof and an equitable allocation of the profit, if any. The profit should be allocated to the rate payers and to the electric utility in proportion to the cash contribution each had made to the plant. In no event will an electric utility transfer any plant for less than its cost unless the Commission determines that such transfer is in the best interest of the utility's customers.
(f) In cases where construction of a certificated plant by an electric utility has com menced and is thereafter terminated, for reasons over which the utility has no control or because the Commission determines that the plant will not be required to assure an adequate and reliable supply of electric power and energy to the utility's customers, the utility shall recover in its rates its investment in the uncompleted plant (including the carrying cost on the unamortized balance thereof) and its expenses associated with the termination of construction by amortizing these expenditures over a period of time to be established by the Commission, but not to exceed the previously expected useful life of the plant or 30 years, whichever is shorter. In all other cases where an electric utility terminates construction of a certificated plant, the plant shall be deemed uncertificated by operation of law. For purposes of this section, construction shall be considered to have terminated if the utility issues a declaration of such termination or if the utility fails to pursue significant construction activity on the certificated plant for a period of 12 months.
93-307.4. Utility rate making; tax accounting. For purposes of determining a utility's cost of service in rate-making proceedings, the income tax expense portion shall be cal culated on the basis of net income before income taxes. Any difference between income based on the utility's accounting records and income determined in accordance with United States Internal Revenue Service laws and regulations will be accounted for as required by generally accepted accounting principles governing all businesses."
Section 7. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new Code chapter after Code Chapter 92-3, to be designated Code Chapter 92-3A, to read as follows:

(A) Terminate construction thereof and the investment and termination expenses of such owner, if an electric utility, shall be accounted for as specified in the first sentence of Code Section 93-307.3(f); or
(B) Continue construction thereof and, if the owner is an electric utility, the accounting provided for in Code Section 93-307.3(b) shall apply, but the carrying costs of construction and preconstruction expenditures on such uncertificated por tion shall be accounted for as income to the owner.

plant, a contract for the transfer of which is executed on or before December 31, 1980. 93-1003. Issuance and amendments of certificates. The Commission shall issue a certif
icate to any entity who demonstrates that there is or will be a need for the proposed productive capacity to assure an adequate and reliable supply of electric power and
energy to his present or future customers, wherever located within this state. In cases where an amendment to any entity's certificate is sought, the amendment shall be
granted upon a determination by the Commission that a proposed capacity increase pur suant to Code Section 93-1002(d) is required to assure, or a proposed capacity decrease
pursuant to Code Section 93-1002(e) will not impair, the adequate and reliable supply of electric power and energy to such entity's customers. In making such determinations concerning certificates and amendments, the Commission shall not consider the entity's
rates for electric service, nor the cost of the proposed capacity; provided, however, that in the case of an application for an amendment pursuant to Code Section 93-1002(e),
the Commission may consider the relative costs of the capacity which is proposed to be sold and future capacity additions which may be required to assure an adequate and
reliable supply of electric power and energy. On each certificate issued or amended, the entity entitled to the certificate and the plant capacity approved by the certificate shall
be plainly stated. 93-1004. Procedure, (a) An entity seeking a certificate or an amendment to a certifi
cate shall make an application to the Commission which:
(1) States the amount of proposed productive capacity to be constructed or trans ferred.
(2) States the entity's forecast of future demands for electric power and energy
through the anticipated commercial operation date of the proposed plant or antici
pated date of the transfer. (3) States the entity's plans for adding other productive capacity through the
anticipated commercial operation date of the proposed plant or anticipated date of the
transfer. (4) Provides any other descriptive information the entity applying believes would
be useful to the Commission in making its determination. (b) Not less than ten nor more than 60 days after an application is made for a certif
icate or amendment, the Commission shall hold a hearing to determine whether the cer tificate or amendment should be granted.
(c) The Commission shall deny or approve applications made for certificates or
amendments to certificates within 120 days after application is made. If the Commission fails to so act upon an application within 120 days after an application has been made, the application shall be deemed granted by operation of law.

accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee to be established by the Commission

1186

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

by regulation. Such fee shall be in an amount reasonably necessary to defray the expenses of the Commmission in the administration of this chapter. In the event a joint application by two or more entities is filed, a single such fee only shall be required. The funds assessed and collected pursuant to this subsection shall be deposited in the state's general fund.
93-1005. Other regulatory agencies. The issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity hereunder shall not preempt any duly constituted local, state, or federal government body or agency from its regulation of environmental or safety matters inci dental to construction of electric generating plants; however, the jurisdiction conferred on the Commission by this chapter shall be exclusive and its findings made and actions taken pursuant to such jurisdiction, as well as the results of the operation of this chap ter, shall be binding upon all local and state government bodies and agencies."
Section 10. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new Code chapter after Code Chapter 93-10, to be designated Code Chapter 93-11, to read as follows:

The cost of such management audit shall be recognized by the Commission as an operating expense of such utility, and such utility's rates shall be fixed by the Commission to recover this expense, amortized over a five-year period."
Section 11. An Act prohibiting full-time appointive officials and employees of the state from engaging in certain transactions affecting the state, approved February 13, 1956 (Ga. Laws 1956, p. 60), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 23, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 813) and an Act approved April 5, 1978 (Ga.

The following Committee substitute was read:

|

A BILL

To amend Code Title 56, relating to insurance, as amended, so as to provide for insur ance coverage of catastrophic health-care benefits for uninsurables; to provide for legis lative intent; to provide for a new Code Chapter 56-37, relating to catastrophic health insurance; to provide a short title; to provide for legislative purposes; to provide defini tions; to require availability; to provide for credits; to provide for catastrophic health insurance plans and benefits thereof; to permit certain preexisting condition exclusions and to provide certain time periods relative thereto; to permit certain exclusions and limitations; to provide for rates; to provide for relation of catastrophic health insurance benefits to other insurance benefits; to provide for construction; to provide for rules and regulations; to provide for applicability of certain laws; to provide for severability; to pro vide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. The General Assembly hereby finds that for some of the citizens of the state, who, because they are uninsurable for health reasons, health-care costs pose a serious threat to their financial welfare. Even if these uninsurable citizens could obtain health insurance, the premium would be prohibitive, thereby effectively denying them the desired coverage. The General Assembly further finds that high health care costs, aggra vated further by inflation, may mean economic catastrophe for persons suffering a serious illness or injury and that insurance to cover such extraordinary costs should be available for all the citizens of this state. For these purposes, the General Assembly finds that the requirements, conditions, and responsibilities set forth in this Act are required to be estabe lished.

Section 2. Code Title 56, relating to insurance, as amended, is hereby amended by inserting at the end thereof a new chapter to be designated as Code Chapter 56-37 to read as follows:

strophic Health Insurance Act.'

56-3702. Purposes. The purposes of this Code chapter are to assure the availability of

health insurance coverage for eligible expenses which exceed a catastrophic threshold in

any one year to residents of this state; to provide a means for state residents to protect

themselves against the extraordinary costs of serious illness or injury; and to provide a

system ensuring the availability of such protection to persons unable to purchase such

Availability of catastrophic coverage, (a) Any carrier may affirmatively offer catastrophic health insurance. The coverage shall be offered on a voluntary basis by any carrier licensed to write accident and sickness insurance in Georgia. Any underwriting losses suffered by a carrier, directly related to the writing of catastrophic coverage, can be used as a credit against premium taxes due the state, if any, otherwise as a credit against premium taxes due municipalities or counties. Any such excess underwriting losses exceeding premium taxes due in any one year may be carried over into the suc ceeding taxable years as a credit against such premium taxes. An underwriting loss will occur when claims plus administrative expense of 15 percent of claims combined exceed premium income. All policies issued under this Act will be guaranteed renewable at the option of the insured; however, the carrier shall have the unilateral right to increase pre miums. To reduce adverse selection, once an insured has terminated his catastrophic coverage, such insured will not again be eligible for coverage through the same carrier until two years from the date of termination. Each participating carrier will be required to submit an annual report to the Insurance Commissioner detailing its operation under this Act.
(b) The requirement that a carrier offer the catastrophic health insurance coverage under this Act shall become effective upon the effective date of this Act.

Total annual out-of-pocket expenses for covered benefits provided shall be $2,000.00 ($1,000.00 deductible plus 20 percent of the next $5,000.00 of eligible expenses).
Such coverage shall be subject to a maximum nonrestorable lifetime benefit of $100,000.00, including a maximum nonrestorable lifetime benefit of $10,000.00 for the care or treatment of nervous or mental disorders, alcoholism, or drug abuse. For pur poses of determining whether or not the out-of-pocket expense limitation has been met, expenses for preexisting conditions as stipulated under Code Section 56-3707 and for services which may be excluded or limited under Code Section 56-3708 shall not be included.
(b) The benefits payable under individual catastrophic health insurance coverage shall be met after all other sources of health insurance benefits, including, but not limited to, benefits provided pursuant to any state or federal law, including but not limited to workers' compensation, medicare, and medicaid.
(c) The coverage required by Code Section 56-3705 shall include coverage for all reasonable and customary medical or health care charges incurred by the insured or on his behalf for treatment furnished or prescribed by a physician for injury or sickness, subject to the limitations stipulated in Section 56-3707 and to the exclusions permitted in Code Section 56-3708.

An underwriting loss will occur when claims plus administrative expense of 15 percent of claims combined exceed premium income."

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to increase the homestead exemp tions for tax purposes of certain property owned by residents of Carroll 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 VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"The homestead of each resident of Carroll County actually occupied by the owner as a residence and homestead, and only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, but not to exceed $5,000.00 of its value, is hereby exempted from all ad valorem taxation for county and school purposes, except to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness. The value of all property in excess of the foregoing exemption shall remain subject to taxation. Said exemption shall be returned and claimed in such man ner as prescribed by the General Assembly and shall be in lieu of the homestead exemp tion currently granted to each similarly qualified resident of the state. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1981.
Each resident of Carroll County who is sixty-five years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all Carroll County ad valorem taxes in the amount of $10,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such home stead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as hereinafter provided, does not exceed $10,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1980

income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor, or disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability, or pension sys tem, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the Tax Commissioner of Carroll County, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. The tax commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Once any such owner has filed the proper affidavit and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor. The exemption provided in this paragraph shall be in lieu of the exemption currently provided to each similarly qualified resident sixty-five years of age or over. The increased exemption pro vided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1981."

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.
The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

"( ) YES ( ) NO

Shall the Constitution be amended so as to increase the amount of each homestead of each resident of Carroll County, which is exempt from county and school taxes, from $2,000.00 to $5,000.00, and to increase from $4,000.00 to $10,000.00 the amount of the homestead of each resi dent of Carroll County who is sixty-five years of age or over and whose income does not exceed $10,000.00, which is exempt from ad valorem taxes for county purposes?"

HB 708. By: Representatives Buck of the 95th, and Williamson of the 45th: A BILL to amend Code Section 57-116, relating to the legal rate of interest on loans to be repaid in monthly, quarterly or yearly installments, so as to change the legal rate of interest; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 57, relating to interest and usury, as amended, so as to provide for the payment of interest on commercial accounts; to define "commercial account"; to

1394

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

clarify the method of computing the rate equivalent when the term of the loan is not in even calendar months and to change the legal rate of interest on loans to be repaid in installments; to provide an effective date; to provide for automatic repeal of the interest rate provisions; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Title 57, relating to interest and usury, as amended, is hereby amended by striking Code Section 57-111, relating to merchants' accounts, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 57-111, relating to the rate of interest on commercial accounts, to read as follows:
"57-111. Rate of interest on commercial accounts. Unless otherwise provided in writing signed by the obligor, a commercial account becomes due and payable upon the date a statement of the account is rendered to the obligor. The owner of a commercial account may charge interest on that portion of a commercial account which has been due and payable for 30 days or more at a rate not in excess of 1 >/2 percent per month calculated on the amount owed from the date upon which it became due and payable until paid. 'Commercial account' means an obligation for the payment of money arising out of a transaction to sell or furnish, or the sale of, or furnishing of goods or services other than a 'retail installment transaction' as defined in paragraph (a)(6) of Section 2 of an Act known as 'The Retail Installment and Home Solicitation Sales Act.'"
Section 2. Said Code title is further amended by striking Code Section 57-116, relat ing to the legal rate of interest on loans to be repaid in weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi annual, or yearly installments, as amended, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 57-116 to read as follows:
"57-116. Interest on loans repayable in weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or yearly installments. Any person, natural or artificial, in this state, lending money to be paid back in weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or yearly installments, may charge interest thereon at 9 percent per annum or less for the entire period of the loan, aggre gating the principal and interest for the entire period of the loan, and dividing the same into weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or yearly installments. At the option of the lender, interest may be charged in such cases on the principal amount of the loan at any rate not greater than a rate equivalent to 9 percent per annum computed in accor dance with the provisions hereof relative to the charging of interest on loans to be repaid in installments, such equivalent rate to be calculated on the assumption that all scheduled payments will be made when due. If the lender elects to compute interest at the rate equivalent on loans to be repaid in monthly installments, then, for purposes of computing the rate equivalent, the entire term of the loan shall be considered to be the number of whole months within the scheduled payment period disregarding any odd days. Security may be taken for such loans by mortgage with waiver of exemption or title or both, upon and to real estate or personal property or both, and the same shall be valid for the amount of the principal and interest charged; and such contract shall not be held usurious and shall not be subject to any provisions of the 'Georgia Industrial Loan Act.'"
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. The interest rate provisions contained in quoted Code Section 57-116 of Section 1 shall automatically stand repealed on July 1, 1981, and the rate of interest appli cable to installment loans under Code Section 57-116, as said Code section existed on January 1, 1980, shall be reinstated and become of full force and effect.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representative Buck of the 95th moves to amend the Committee substitute to HB 708 by striking from line 14 on page 3 the following:

other person for the purpose of soliciting contributions from persons in this state with out the written consent of such other person.

1404

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

35-1013. Enforcement by the administrator of the 'Fair Business Practices Act of 1975.' Whenever the administrator of the 'Fair Business Practices Act of 1975' (106-12 Ga. Code Ann.) has reason to believe that there is employed or about to be employed in any solicitation or collection of contributions for a charitable organization any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud or for obtaining money or property by means of any false pretense, representation, or promise, he may initiate any course of action authorized by the 'Fair Business Practices Act of 1975' (106-12 Ga. Code Ann.). This provision author izes the administrator to investigate and prosecute in a civil action any misuse of funds, including, for purposes of this chapter, any violation of the requirement that 70 percent of the funds collected by or on behalf of any charitable organization be used for charita ble purposes.
35-1014. Penalties. Any person who violates the provisions of this Code chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished as for a misdemean or."

(b) 'Debtor' means any individual owing money to or having a delinquent account with any claimant agency, which obligation has not been adjudicated satisfied by court order, set aside by court order, or discharged in bankruptcy. (c) 'Debt' means any liquidated sum due and owing any claimant agency which has accrued through contract, subrogation, tort, or operation of law regardless of whether there is an outstanding judgment for that sum. (d) 'Department' means the Department of Revenue of the State of Georgia. (e) 'Refund' means the Georgia income tax refund which the Department determines to be due any individual taxpayer. 91A-4103.

(a) A claimant agency may submit any debts in excess of $25 owed to it to the Department for collection through setoff, under the procedure established by this Chapter, except in cases where the validity of the debt is legitimately in dispute, an alternate means of collection is pending and believed to be adequate, or such collection would result in a loss of federal funds or federal assistance. (b) Upon request of a claimant agency, the Department shall set off any refund, as defined herein, against the sum certified by the claimant agency as provided in this Chapter.
91A-4105. Procedure for setoff and notification of taxpayer, (a) Within a time frame specified by the Department, a claimant agency seeking to collect a debt through setoff shall supply the information necessary to identify each debtor whose refund is sought to be setoff and certify the amount of the debt or debts owed by each such debtor.
(b) If a debtor identified by a claimant agency is determined by the Department to be entitled to a refund of at least $25.00 the Department shall transfer an amount equal to the refund owed, not to exceed the amount of the claimed debt certified, to the claim ant agency. When the refund owed exceeds the claimed debt, the Department shall send the excess amount to the debtor within a reasonable time after such excess is deter mined.
(c) At the time of the transfer of funds to a claimant agency pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Department shall notify the taxpayer or taxpayers whose refund is sought to be setoff that the transfer has been made. Such notice shall clearly set forth the name of the debtor, the manner in which the debt arose, the amount of the claimed debt, the transfer of funds to the claimant agency pursuant to subsection (b) above and the inten tion to setoff the refund against the debt, the amount of the refund in excess of the claimed debt, the taxpayer's opportunity to give written notice to contest the setoff within 30 days of the date of mailing of the notice, the name and mailing address of the claimant agency to which the application for a hearing must be sent, and the fact that failure to apply for such a hearing, in writing, within the 30 day period will be deemed a waiver of the opportunity to contest the setoff. In the case of a joint return, the notice shall also state the name of the taxpayer named in the return, if any, against whom no debt is claimed, the fact that a debt is not claimed against such taxpayer, the fact that such taxpayer is entitled to receive a refund if it is due him regardless of the debt asserted against his spouse, and that in order to obtain a refund due him such tax payer must apply, in writing, for a hearing with the claimant agency named in the notice within 30 days of the date of the mailing of the notice. If a taxpayer fails to apply in writing for such a hearing within 30 days of the mailing of such notice, he will have waived his opportunity to contest the setoff.
(d) Upon receipt of funds transferred from the Department pursuant to subsection (b) above, the claimant agency shall deposit and hold such funds in an escrow account until a final determination of the validity of the debt.
(e) The claimant agency shall pay the Department for all costs incurred by the Department in setting off debts in the manner provided in this Chapter.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1980

1407

to the taxpayer to determine whether the setoff is proper or the claim is valid, according to the procedures established under the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act. If the sum asserted as due and owing is not correct, an adjustment to the claimed sum may be made.
(b) The hearing established by subsection (a) above shall be in lieu of a hearing before the Department of Revenue pursuant to Section 13 of the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act; and the Department shall not grant a hearing to determine the validity of the claimed sum or the propriety of the setoff.
(c) No issues shall be reconsidered at the hearing which have been previously liti gated.
(d) Appeals from actions taken at the hearing allowed under this section shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act, as now or hereafter amended.
91A-4107. Finalization and notice of setoff. (a) Upon final determination of the amount of the debt due and owing by means of the hearing provided by Section 91A-4106 or by the taxpayer's default through failure to comply with Section 91A-4105 mandating timely request for review, the claimant agency shall remove the amount of the debt due and owing from the escrow account established pursuant to Section 91A-4105 and shall credit such amount to the debtor's obligation.
(b) Upon transfer of the debt due and owing from the escrow account to the credit of the debtor's account, the claimant agency shall notify the debtor in writing of the finalization of the setoff. Such notice shall include a final accounting of the refund which was setoff including the amount of the refund to which the debtor was entitled prior to setoff, the amount of the debt due and owing, the amount of the refund in excess of the debt which has been returned to the debtor by the Department pursuant to Section 91A-4105(b), and the amount of the funds transferred to the claimant agency pursuant to Section 91A-4105 in excess of the debt determined to be due and owing at a hearing held pursuant to Section 91A-4106, if such a hearing was held. At such time, the claimant agency shall refund to the debtor the amount of the claimed debt originally certified and transferred to it by the Department in excess of the amount of debt finally found to be due and owing.
91A-4108. Priority. The Department has priority, pursuant to Section 91A-245(c), over every claimant agency for collection by setoff under this Chapter.
91A-4109. Rules and regulations. The State Revenue Commissioner is authorized to prescribe forms and promulgate rules and regulations which he deems necessary in order to effectuate the intent and provisions of this Chapter.
91A-4110. Confidentiality exemption; nondisclosure, (a) Notwithstanding the provi sions of 91A-3711 (Ga. Laws 1979, pp. 5, 64) prohibiting disclosure by the Department of Revenue of the contents of taxpayer records or information and notwithstanding any other confidentiality statute, the State Revenue Commissioner may provide to a claim ant agency all information necessary to accomplish and effectuate the intent of this Chapter.
(b) The information obtained by a claimant agency from the Department of Revenue in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter shall retain its confidentiality and shall only be used by a claimant agency in the pursuit of its debt collection duties and practices; and any employee or prior employee of any claimant agency who unlawfully discloses any such information for any other purpose, except as otherwise specifically authorized by law, shall be subject to the same penalties specified by law for unauthor ized disclosure of confidential information by an agent or employee of the Department of Revenue.
91A-4111. Effect. When the setoff authorized by this Chapter is exercised, the refund which is set off shall be deemed granted."
Section 2. Code Section 91A-3913, relating to income tax refunds and credits, is hereby amended by adding a new subsection (d) at the end to read as follows:
"(d) Setoffs. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subsection, a refund or a portion thereof may be transferred to a claimant agency to setoff a debt due and owing

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

to the claimant agency as provided in Chapter 91A-41 of this Title. When any action pursuant to that Chapter is taken, the provisions of that Chapter shall govern all aspects of right and entitlement to refunds covered thereunder.

If there is a final determination that the taxpayer (debtor) is entitled to receive all or part of the funds transferred to a claimant agency, the amount to which the taxpayer is entitled shall bear interest at the rate provided in Code Section 91A-245 beginning 30 days after such final determination."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1980.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

No affirmance of the judgment of the court below in cases pending in the Court of Appeals shall result from delay in disposing of questions or cases certified from the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court, or as to which such certificate has been required by the Supreme Court as hereinbefore provided. All writs of error in the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals, when received by its clerk during a term of the Court and before the docket of the term is by order of the Court closed, shall be entered thereon, and when received at any other time, shall be entered on the docket of the next term; and they shall stand for hearing at the term for which they are so entered, under such rules as the Court has or may hereafter prescribe, until other wise provided by law.

SECTION III. STATE DEBT
Paragraph I. Purposes for Which Debt may be Incurred; Limitations. Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, the State may incur public debt, as follows:
(a) The State may incur public debt without limit to repel invasion, suppress insur rection and defend the State in time of war.
(b) The State may incur public debt to supply such temporary deficit as may exist in the State Treasury in any fiscal year because of necessary delay in collecting the taxes of that year but the debt so incurred shall not exceed, in the aggregate, five percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immedi ately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred, and any debt so incurred shall be repaid out of the taxes levied for the fiscal year in which the loan is made. Such debt shall be payable on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred and no such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under the provisions of this subparagraph (b) if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incur red under the provisions of this subparagraph (b).
(c) The State may incur public debt of two types for public purposes pursuant to this Paragraph: (1) general obligation debt and (2) guaranteed revenue debt. General obli gation debt may be incurred by issuing obligations to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment or facilities of the State, its agencies, departments, institutions, and those State Authorities which were created and activated prior to the Amendment adopted November 8, 1960, to Article VII, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1945. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the State if such revenue obligations are issued to finance toll bridges, toll roads, any other land public transportation facilities or systems or water or sewage treatment facilities or systems or to make or purchase, or lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes. No debt may be incur red under this subparagraph (c) at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt ser vice requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the State under all contracts then in force to which the provisions of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of this Constitution are applicable, exceed fifteen percent of the total reve nue receipts, less refunds of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred; provided, however, no guaranteed reve nue debt may be incurred to finance water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the State for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water or sewage treatment facilities or systems, exceed one percent of the total revenue receipts less refunds, of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million dollars, and the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the State for educational pur poses that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million dollars. For the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1980

1453

purpose of this Paragraph, annual debt service requirements shall mean the total principal and interest coming due in any fiscal year of the State; provided, however, with regard to any issue of debt incurred wholly or in part on a term basis, annual debt service require ments shall mean an amount equal to the total principal and interest payments required to retire such issue in full divided by the number of years from its issue date to its matu rity date.
General obligation debt may not be incurred until the General Assembly has enacted legislation stating the purposes, in general or specific terms, for which such issue of debt is to be incurred, specifying the maximum principal amount of such issue and appropriat ing an amount at least sufficient to pay the highest annual debt service requirements for such issue. All such appropriations for debt service purposes shall not lapse for any reason and shall continue in effect until the debt for which such appropriation was authorized shall have been incurred, but the General Assembly may repeal any such appropriation at any time prior to the incurring of such debt. The General Assembly shall raise by taxation each fiscal year, in addition to the sum necessary to make all payments required to be made under contracts entitled to the protection of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a), Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution, and to pay public expenses, such amounts as are necessary to pay debt service requirements in such fiscal year on all general obligation debt incurred hereunder. The General Assembly shall appropriate to a special trust fund to be designated "State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund" such amounts as are necessary to pay annual debt service requirements on all general obligation debt incurred hereunder. The sinking fund shall be used solely for the retirement of general obligation debt payable therefrom. If the General Assembly shall fail to make any such appropriation or if for any reason the monies in the sinking fund are insufficient to make all payments required with respect to such general obligation debt as and when the same become due, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall set apart from the first revenues thereafter received, applicable to the general fund of the State, such amounts as are necessary to cure any such deficiency and shall immediately deposit the same into the sinking fund; pro vided, however, the obligation to make such sinking fund deposits shall be subordinate to the obligation imposed upon the fiscal officers of the State pursuant to the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a) of Section VI of Article IX of this Constitution. The Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, may be required to set aside and apply such revenues as
aforesaid at the suit of any holder of any general obligation debt incurred hereunder. The monies in the sinking fund shall be as fully invested as is practical, consistent with the
requirements to make current principal and interest payments. Any such investments shall be restricted to obligations constituting direct and general obligations of the United States
Government or obligations unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the United States Government, maturing no longer than twelve months from date of purchase.
Guaranteed revenue debt may not be incurred until the General Assembly has enacted legislation authorizing the guarantee of the specific issue of revenue obligations then pro
posed, reciting that the General Assembly has determined such obligations will be self-
liquidating over the life of the issue (which determination shall be conclusive), specifying the maximum principal amount of such issue and appropriating an amount at least equal
to the highest annual debt service requirements for such issue, which appropriation shall be paid upon the issuance of said obligations into a special trust fund to be designated "State of Georgia Guaranteed Revenue Debt Common Reserve Fund" to be held together
with all other sums similarly appropriated as a common reserve for any payments which may be required by virtue of any guarantee entered into in connection with any issue of guaranteed revenue obligations. All such appropriations for the benefit of guaranteed reve
nue debt shall not lapse for any reason and shall continue in effect until the debt for
which such appropriation was authorized shall have been incurred, but the General Assem bly may repeal any such appropriation at any time prior to the payment of the same into
said common reserve fund which shall be held and administered by the Director, Fiscal

1454

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be desig nated by law. If any payments are required to be made from said fund to meet debt ser vice requirements on guaranteed revenue obligations by virtue of an insufficiency of revenues, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall pay from said common reserve fund the amount necessary to cure such deficiency. The Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall then reimburse from said fund from the general funds of the State within ten days following the commencement of any fiscal year of the State for any amounts so paid; provided, how ever, the obligation to make any such reimbursements shall be subordinate to the obli gation imposed upon the fiscal officers of the State pursuant to the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a) of Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution and shall also be subordinate to the obligation hereinabove imposed upon the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of
Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, to make sink ing fund deposits for the benefit of general obligation debt. The Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, may be required to apply such funds as aforesaid at the suit of any holder of any such
guaranteed revenue obligations. The amount to the credit of said common reserve fund shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate highest annual debt service require ments on all outstanding guaranteed revenue obligations entitled to the benefit of said fund. If at the end of any fiscal year of the State said fund is in excess of the required amount, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such
other officer as may be designated by law, shall transfer such excess to the general funds of the State free of said trust. The funds in the said common reserve shall be as fully invested as is practical, consistent with the requirements of guaranteeing the principal and
interest payments on the revenue obligations guaranteed by the State. Any such invest ments shall be restricted to obligations constituting direct and general obligations of the
United States Government or obligations unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the United States Government, maturing no longer than twelve
months from date of purchase. The State, and all State institutions, departments and agencies of the State are pro
hibited from entering into any contract (except contracts pertaining to guaranteed revenue debt) with any public agency, public corporation, authority or similar entity if such con
tract is intended to constitute security for bonds or other obligations issued by any such public agency, public corporation or authority and, from and after September 1, 1974, in the event any contract between the State, or any State institution, department or agency
of the State and any public agency, public corporation, authority or similar entity, or any revenues from any such contract, is pledged or assigned as security for the repayment of bonds or other obligations, then and in either such event, the appropriation or expenditure
of any funds of the State for the payment of obligations under any such contract shall likewise be prohibited; provided, however, all contracts entered into prior to September 1,
1974, shall continue to have the benefit of the protection afforded by the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a) of Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution as fully
and completely as though Paragraphs I-V of this Section were not in effect and for as long as any such contract shall remain in force and effect. Furthermore, nothing in Paragraphs I-V of this Section is intended directly or by implication to have any effect upon any
provision of any such contract establishing lien rights, priorities regarding revenues or otherwise providing protection to the holders of obligations secured by such contracts.
(d) The State may incur general obligation debt or guaranteed revenue debt to fund or refund any such debt or to fund or refund any obligations issued upon the security of
contracts to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a), Section VI,
Article IX of this Constitution are applicable. The issuance of any such debt for the pur poses of said funding or refunding shall be subject to the fifteen percent limitation in subparagraph (c) above to the same extent as debt incurred under said subparagraph; pro vided, however, in making such computation the annual debt service requirements and
annual contract payments remaining on the debt or obligations being funded or refunded
shall not be taken into account. In the event it is determined by the Georgia State Financ ing and Investment Commission that it is to the best interest of the State to fund or

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1980

1455

refund any such public debt or obligation, the same may be accomplished by resolution of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission without any action on the part of the General Assembly and any appropriation made or required to be made with respect to the debt being funded or refunded shall immediately attach and inure to the benefit of the obligations to be issued in connection with such funding or refunding to the same extent and with the same effect as though the obligation to be issued had originally been authorized by action of the General Assembly as hereinabove set forth; provided, the debt incurred in connection with any such funding or refunding shall be the same as that orig inally authorized by the General Assembly (except that general obligation debt may be incurred to fund or refund obligations issued upon the security of contracts to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a), Section VI, Article IX of this Con stitution are applicable and the continuing appropriation required to be made under the said provisions of this Constitution shall immediately attach and inure to the benefit of the obligation to be issued in connection with such funding or refunding with the same force and effect as though said obligations so funded or refunded had originally been issued as a general obligation debt authorized hereunder) and provided further, the term
of the funding or refunding issue shall not extend beyond the term of the original debt or obligation and the total interest on the funding or refunding issue shall not exceed the
total interest to be paid on such original debt or obligation. The principal amount of any debt issued in connection with such funding or refunding may exceed the principal amount being funded or refunded to the extent necessary to provide for the payment of any pre
mium thereby incurred. Paragraph II. Faith and Credit of State Pledged Debt may be Validated. The
full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are hereby pledged to the payment of all public debt incurred under this Article and all such debt and the interest thereon shall
be exempt from taxation. Such debt may be validated by judicial proceedings in the man ner provided by the General Assembly and such validation shall be incontestable and con clusive.
Paragraph III. Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission; Duties. There shall be a Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission. The Commission shall consist of the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, and the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Commission shall be responsible for the issu
ance of all public debt incurred hereunder and for the proper application of the proceeds of such debt to the purposes for which it is incurred; provided, however, the proceeds from guaranteed revenue obligations shall be paid to the issuer thereof and such proceeds and the application thereof shall be the responsibility of such issuer. Debt to be incurred at
the same time for more than one purpose may be combined in one issue without stating the purpose separately but the proceeds thereof must be allocated, disbursed and used
solely in accordance with the original purpose and without exceeding the principal amount authorized for each purpose set forth in the authorization of the General Assembly and
to the extent not so used shall be used to purchase and retire public debt. The Commis sion shall be responsible for the investment of all proceeds to be administered by it. The

SECTION III. STATE DEBT
Paragraph I. Purposes for Which Debt may be Incurred; Limitations. Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, the State may incur public debt, as follows:
(a) The State may incur public debt without limit to repel invasion, suppress insur rection and defend the State in time of war.
(b) The State may incur public debt to supply such temporary deficit as may exist in the State Treasury in any fiscal year because of necessary delay in collecting the taxes of that year but the debt so incurred shall not exceed, in the aggregate, five percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immedi ately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred, and any debt so incurred shall be repaid out of the taxes levied for the fiscal year in which the loan is made. Such debt shall be payable on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred and no such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under the provisions of this subparagraph (b) if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incur red under the provisions of this subparagraph (b).
(c) The State may incur public debt of two types for public purposes pursuant to this Paragraph: (1) general obligation debt and (2) guaranteed revenue debt. General obli gation debt may be incurred by issuing obligations to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment or facilities of the State, its agencies, departments, institutions, and those State Authorities which were created and activated prior to the Amendment adopted November 8, 1960, to Article VII, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1945. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the State if such revenue obligations are issued to finance toll bridges, toll roads, any other land public transportation facilities or systems or water or sewage treatment facilities or systems or to make or purchase, or lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes. No debt may be incur red under this subparagraph (c) at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt ser vice requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the State under all contracts then in force to which the provisions of Article IX, Section VI,

1512

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Paragraph I(a) of this Constitution are applicable, exceed fifteen percent of the total reve nue receipts, less refunds of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred; provided, however, no guaranteed reve nue debt may be incurred to finance water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the State for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water or sewage treatment facilities or systems, exceed one percent of the total revenue receipts less refunds, of the State Treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans to citizens of the State for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million dollars, and the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the State for educational pur poses that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million dollars. For the purpose of this Paragraph, annual debt service requirements shall mean the total principal and interest coming due in any fiscal year of the State; provided, however, with regard to any issue of debt incurred wholly or in part on a term basis, annual debt service require ments shall mean an amount equal to the total principal and interest payments required to retire such issue in full divided by the number of years from its issue date to its matu rity date.
General obligation debt may not be incurred until the General Assembly has enacted legislation stating the purposes, in general or specific terms, for which such issue of debt is to be incurred, specifying the maximum principal amount of such issue and appropriat ing an amount at least sufficient to pay the highest annual debt service requirements for such issue. All such appropriations for debt service purposes shall not lapse for any reason and shall continue in effect until the debt for which such appropriation was authorized shall have been incurred, but the General Assembly may repeal any such appropriation at any time prior to the incurring of such debt. The General Assembly shall raise by taxation each fiscal year, in addition to the sum necessary to make all payments required to be made under contracts entitled to the protection of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a), Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution, and to pay public expenses, such amounts as are necessary to pay debt service requirements in such fiscal year on all general obligation debt incurred hereunder. The General Assembly shall appropriate to a special trust fund to be designated "State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund" such amounts
as are necessary to pay annual debt service requirements on all general obligation debt incurred hereunder. The sinking fund shall be used solely for the retirement of general
obligation debt payable therefrom. If the General Assembly shall fail to make any such appropriation or if for any reason the monies in the sinking fund are insufficient to make all payments required with respect to such general obligation debt as and when the same
become due, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall set apart from the first revenues thereafter
received, applicable to the general fund of the State, such amounts as are necessary to cure any such deficiency and shall immediately deposit the same into the sinking fund; pro vided, however, the obligation to make such sinking fund deposits shall be subordinate to
the obligation imposed upon the fiscal officers of the State pursuant to the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a) of Section VI of Article IX of this Constitution. The Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer
as may be designated by law, may be required to set aside and apply such revenues as aforesaid at the suit of any holder of any general obligation debt incurred hereunder. The monies in the sinking fund shall be as fully invested as is practical, consistent with the requirements to make current principal and interest payments. Any such investments shall
be restricted to obligations constituting direct and general obligations of the United States Government or obligations unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and
interest by the United States Government, maturing no longer than twelve months from date of purchase.
Guaranteed revenue debt may not be incurred until the General Assembly has enacted legislation authorizing the guarantee of the specific issue of revenue obligations then pro posed, reciting that the General Assembly has determined such obligations will be selfliquidating over the life of the issue (which determination shall be conclusive), specifying

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1980

1513

;, the maximum principal amount of such issue and appropriating an amount at least equal I, to the highest annual debt service requirements for such issue, which appropriation shall :.' be paid upon the issuance of said obligations into a special trust fund to be designated - "State of Georgia Guaranteed Revenue Debt Common Reserve Fund" to be held together
with all other sums similarly appropriated as a common reserve for any payments which may be required by virtue of any guarantee entered into in connection with any issue of guaranteed revenue obligations. All such appropriations for the benefit of guaranteed reve nue debt shall not lapse for any reason and shall continue in effect until the debt for which such appropriation was authorized shall have been incurred, but the General Assem bly may repeal any such appropriation at any time prior to the payment of the same into said common reserve fund which shall be held and administered by the Director, Fiscal : Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be desig nated by law. If any payments are required to be made from said fund to meet debt ser vice requirements on guaranteed revenue obligations by virtue of an insufficiency of revenues, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall pay from said common reserve fund the amount necessary to cure such deficiency. The Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall then reimburse from said fund from the general funds of the State within ten days following the commencement of any fiscal year of the State for any amounts so paid; provided, how ever, the obligation to make any such reimbursements shall be subordinate to the obli gation imposed upon the fiscal officers of the State pursuant to the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a) of Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution and shall also be subordinate to the obligation hereinabove imposed upon the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of i Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, to make sink;: ing fund deposits for the benefit of general obligation debt. The Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, may be required to apply such funds as aforesaid at the suit of any holder of any such guaranteed revenue obligations. The amount to the credit of said common reserve fund shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate highest annual debt service require ments on all outstanding guaranteed revenue obligations entitled to the benefit of said fund. If at the end of any fiscal year of the State said fund is in excess of the required amount, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, shall transfer such excess to the general funds , of the State free of said trust. The funds in the said common reserve shall be as fully invested as is practical, consistent with the requirements of guaranteeing the principal and interest payments on the revenue obligations guaranteed by the State. Any such invest ments shall be restricted to obligations constituting direct and general obligations of the United States Government or obligations unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the United States Government, maturing no longer than twelve months from date of purchase.
The State, and all State institutions, departments and agencies of the State are pro hibited from entering into any contract (except contracts pertaining to guaranteed revenue debt) with any public agency, public corporation, authority or similar entity if such con tract is intended to constitute security for bonds or other obligations issued by any such public agency, public corporation or authority and, from and after September 1, 1974, in the event any contract between the State, or any State institution, department or agency of the State and any public agency, public corporation, authority or similar entity, or any revenues from any such contract, is pledged or assigned as security for the repayment of bonds or other obligations, then and in either such event, the appropriation or expenditure of any funds of the State for the payment of obligations under any such contract shall likewise be prohibited; provided, however, all contracts entered into prior to September 1, 1974, shall continue to have the benefit of the protection afforded by the provisions of the
; second paragraph of Paragraph I(a) of Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution as fully
; and completely as though Paragraphs I-V of this Section were not in effect and for as long
as any such contract shall remain in force and effect. Furthermore, nothing in Paragraphs
' I-V of this Section is intended directly or by implication to have any effect upon any

1514

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

provision of any such contract establishing lien rights, priorities regarding revenues or otherwise providing protection to the holders of obligations secured by such contracts.
(d) The State may incur general obligation debt or guaranteed revenue debt to fund or refund any such debt or to fund or refund any obligations issued upon the security of contracts to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a), Section VI, Article IX of this Constitution are applicable. The issuance of any such debt for the pur poses of said funding or refunding shall be subject to the fifteen percent limitation in subparagraph (c) above to the same extent as debt incurred under said subparagraph; pro vided, however, in making such computation the annual debt service requirements and annual contract payments remaining on the debt or obligations being funded or refunded shall not be taken into account. In the event it is determined by the Georgia State Financ ing and Investment Commission that it is to the best interest of the State to fund or refund any such public debt or obligation, the same may be accomplished by resolution of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission without any action on the part of the General Assembly and any appropriation made or required to be made with respect to the debt being funded or refunded shall immediately attach and inure to the benefit of the obligations to be issued in connection with such funding or refunding to the same extent and with the same effect as though the obligation to be issued had originally been authorized by action of the General Assembly as hereinabove set forth; provided, the debt incurred in connection with any such funding or refunding shall be the same as that orig inally authorized by the General Assembly (except that general obligation debt may be incurred to fund or refund obligations issued upon the security of contracts to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Paragraph I(a), Section VI, Article IX of this Con stitution are applicable and the continuing appropriation required to be made under the said provisions of this Constitution shall immediately attach and inure to the benefit of the obligation to be issued in connection with such funding or refunding with the same force and effect as though said obligations so funded or refunded had originally been issued as a general obligation debt authorized hereunder) and provided further, the term of the funding or refunding issue shall not extend beyond the term of the original debt or obligation and the total interest on the funding or refunding issue shall not exceed the total interest to be paid on such original debt or obligation. The principal amount of any debt issued in connection with such funding or refunding may exceed the principal amount being funded or refunded to the extent necessary to provide for the payment of any pre mium thereby incurred.
Paragraph II. Faith and Credit of State Pledged Debt may be Validated. The full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are hereby pledged to the payment of all public debt incurred under this Article and all such debt and the interest thereon shall be exempt from taxation. Such debt may be validated by judicial proceedings in the man ner provided by the General Assembly and such validation shall be incontestable and con clusive.
Paragraph III. Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission; Duties. There shall be a Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission. The Commission shall consist of the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director, Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services, or such other officer as may be designated by law, and the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Commission shall be responsible for the issu ance of all public debt incurred hereunder and for the proper application of the proceeds of such debt to the purposes for which it is incurred; provided, however, the proceeds from guaranteed revenue obligations shall be paid to the issuer thereof and such proceeds and the application thereof shall be the responsibility of such issuer. Debt to be incurred at the same time for more than one purpose may be combined in one issue without stating the purpose separately but the proceeds thereof must be allocated, disbursed and used solely in accordance with the original purpose and without exceeding the principal amount authorized for each purpose set forth in the authorization of the General Assembly and to the extent not so used shall be used to purchase and retire public debt. The Commis
sion shall be responsible for the investment of all proceeds to be administered by it. The
General Assembly may provide that income earned on any such investments may be used

Insofar as any such provisions or any such law may be inconsistent with any other provisions of this Constitution or of any other law, the provisions of such Paragraphs and laws enacted in furtherance thereof shall be controlling; provided, however, the provisions of such Paragraphs shall not be so broadly construed as to cause the same to be unconstitutional and in connection with any such construction such Paragraphs shall be deemed to contain such implied limitations as shall be required to accomplish the foregoing.
Paragraph VI. Assumption of Debts Forbidden. The State shall not assume the debt, nor any part thereof, of any county, municipal corporation or political subdivision of the State, unless such debt be contracted to enable the State to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend itself in time of war: Provided, however, that the amendment to the Constitution of 1877 proposed by the General Assembly and set forth in the published Acts of the General Assembly of the year 1931 at page 97, which amendment was ratified on November 8, 1932, and which amendment provided for the assumption by the State, of indebtedness of the several counties of the State, as well as that of the Coastal Highway District, and the assessments made against the counties of said district for the construc tion and paving of the public roads or highways, including bridges, of the State, under cer tain conditions and for the issuance of certificates of indebtedness for such indebtedness so assumed, is continued of full force and effect until such indebtedness assumed by the State is paid and such certificates of indebtedness retired.

other powers as to the General Assembly may seem proper, but not in conflict with the provisions of the Constitution. Such refunding bonds shall be authorized only where such
county, municipality or political subdivision has not the funds available to meet the pay ment of outstanding bonded indebtedness through failure to levy and collect the required taxes, or through failure to maintain the required sinking fund for such bonds. The Gen

The General Assembly may authorize the issuance of such refunding bonds issued for the said purpose, when approved by the said Commission and authorized by the governing authority of such county, municipality or subdivision, without an election by the qualified voters as otherwise required, but in all other respects such refunding bonds shall comply with the provisions of this Constitution.

The funds in such sinking fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other moneys of such county, municipality or subdivision, and shall be used for no purpose other than that above stated. The moneys in such sinking fund may be invested and reinvested by the governing authorities of such county, municipality or subdivision or by such other authority as has been created to hold and manage such sinking fund, in the bonds of such county, municipality or subdivision, in the bonds or obligations of the State of Georgia, of the counties and cities thereof and of the government of the United States, of subsid iary corporations of the Federal Government fully guaranteed by such government and in accounts and certificates which are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo ration or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and no other.

"SECTION X. PUBLIC INITIATIVE
Paragraph I. Power Vested in the People. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, the people of Georgia reserve to themselves the power, by initiative petition, to enact or reject statutes and amendments to statutes and amendments to the Constitution at the polls provided that any such proposed statute, amendment to a stat ute or amendment to the Constitution has first been introduced in the General Assem bly and the General Assembly has rejected or failed to act on such proposed statute, amendment to a statute or amendment to the Constitution within the two years immedi ately preceding the general election at which such proposals are to be presented to the voters through the initiative petition process provided for herein. The people, through the initiative petition, shall have the power to make all laws consistent with this Consti tution, and not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, which they shall deem necessary and proper for the welfare of the State.
If conflicting initiative petitions submitted to the people at the same general election are approved, the petition receiving the highest number of affirmative votes shall become law as to all conflicting provisions. After an initiative petition is defeated by the people voting in a general election, an initiative petition which contains essentially the same provisions shall not be submitted to the people at the next two (2) general elec tions.
Each person signing an initiative petition shall affix thereto his or her signature, resi dence address, and the name of the county in which he or she is a registered voter. The petition may consist of more than one (1) document, but each document shall have affixed thereto an affidavit made by one (1) of the signers of such document to the effect that all of the signatures are genuine and that each individual who signed such document was at the time of signing a registered voter in the county of his or her resi dence. The affidavit shall be executed before a person authorized by law to administer oaths in the State of Georgia.
Any person who signs a name other than his own on a petition, or who knowingly signs his name more than once for the same proposition at one election, or who signs a petition knowing that he is not a qualified registered elector shall be guilty of a misde meanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. Each petition shall include a warning statement setting forth the preceding sentence.
Paragraph II. Initiative Petitions Proposing Amendments to the Constitu tion. An initiative petition proposing an amendment to the Constitution shall be signed in each Congressional District by a number of registered voters equal to ten (10) percent or more of the number of voters who voted for the candidates for the office of Governor in the last preceding gubernatorial election in that Congressional District, but the total number of registered voters signing the initiative petition shall be equal to fifteen (15) percent or more of the total number of registered voters. The initiative petition shall state the full text of the constitutional amendment, shall state the language which is to

The Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Governor shall examine each statute and each amendment to a statute proposed by an initiative petition and shall adopt language to appear on the ballot which shall adequately identify the measure to be voted upon. Such language shall be in the form of a question and shall not imply or suggest a vote either for or against such proposal. Such ballot question shall be in essentially the following form:
"( ) YES Shall the Act..............be enacted by the people and become the law of the State of Georgia?'
( ) NO
All persons desiring to vote in favor of such proposed statute becoming the law of the State shall vote 'Yes' and those persons desiring to vote against the proposed statute becoming the law of the State shall vote 'No'.

An initiative measure so approved by the voters shall not be amended, annulled, repealed, set aside, or suspended by the legislature within two (2) years from the date it takes effect. If a majority of such voters votes for disapproval of such statute or amendment to a statute, no further action
