The Tax Commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for these purposes. 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, 1598 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, 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 and certificate thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: A BILL To provide that no agricultural or farming operation shall be or become a nuisance as a result of changed conditions in or around the locality of such agricultural or farming operation; to provide for legislative determination and declaration of policy; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Legislative determination and declaration of policy. It is the declared policy of the state to conserve and protect and encourage the development and improvement of its agricultural land for the production of food and other agricultural products. When nonagricultural land uses extend into agricultural areas, agricultural operations often become the subject of nuisance suits. As a result, agricultural operations are sometimes forced to cease operations. Many others are discouraged from making investments in farm improvements. It is the purpose of this Act to reduce the loss to the state of its agricultural resources by limiting the circumstances under which agricultural operations may be deemed to be a nuisance. Section 2. Agricultural or farming operations; nuisances. No agricultural or farming operation, place, establishment, or facility, or any of its appurtenances, or the operation thereof, shall be or shall become a nuisance, either public or private, as a result of changed conditions in or around the locality of such agricultural or farming operation, place, establishment, or facility if such agricultural or farming operation, place, establishment, or facility has been in operation for one year or more. 1608 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Section 3. Effective date. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 4. Repealer.

Provided, however, that this subsection shall not apply where the Commissioner has determined that the foreign or alien insurer's domiciliary jurisdiction or state of entry provides 1614 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, by statute protection substantially similar to that provided by this Act for residents of this state. (d) (1) In carrying out its duties under subsections (b) and (c), the association may impose permanent policy liens or contract liens in connection with any guarantee, assumption, or reinsurance agreement if the court: (A) Finds that the amounts which can be assessed under this Act are less than the amounts needed to assure full and prompt performance of the insolvent insurer's contractual obligations or that the economic or financial conditions as they affect member insurers are sufficiently adverse to render the imposition of policy or contract liens to be in the public interest; and (B) Approves the specific policy liens or contract liens to be used. (2) Before being obligated under subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the association may request that there be imposed temporary moratoriums or liens on payments of cash values and policy loans in addition to any contractual provisions for deferral of said cash value payments or policy loans. Such temporary moratoriums and liens may be imposed if they are approved by a court of competent jurisdiction. (e) If the association fails to act within a reasonable period of time as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the Commissioner shall have the powers and duties of the association under this Act with respect to insolvent insurers. (f) Upon his request, the association may render assistance and advice to the Commissioner concerning rehabilitation, payment of claims, continuance of coverage, or the performance of other contractual obligations of any impaired or insolvent insurer. (g) The association shall have standing to appear before any court in this state with jurisdiction over an impaired or insolvent insurer concerning which the association is or may become obligated under this Act. Such standing shall extend to all matters germane to the powers and duties of the association, including but not limited to proposals for rein- suring or guaranteeing the covered policies of the impaired or insolvent insurer and the determination of the covered policies and contractual obligations. (h) (1) Any person receiving benefits under this Act shall be deemed to have assigned the rights under the covered policy to the association to the extent of the benefits received because of this Act, whether the benefits are payments of contractual obligations or continuation of coverage. The association may require an assignment to it of such rights by any payee, policy or contract owner, beneficiary, insured, or annui- tant as a condition precedent to the receipt of any rights or benefits conferred by this Act upon such person. The association shall be subrogated to these rights against the assets of any insolvent insurer. (2) The subrogation rights of the association under this subsection shall have the same priority against the assets of the insolvent insurer as that possessed by the person entitled to receive benefits under this Act. (i) The contractual obligations of the insolvent insurer for which the association becomes or may become liable shall be as great as, but no greater than, the contractual obligations of the insolvent insurer would have been in the absence of an insolvency, unless such obligations are reduced as permitted by subsection (d). The aggregate liability of the association on any one life shall not exceed $100,000.00 with respect to the payment of cash values or $300,000.00 for all benefits including cash values. (j) The association may: (1) Enter into such contracts as are necessary or proper to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Act. (2) Sue or be sued, including taking any legal actions necessary or proper for recovery of any unpaid assessments under Section 9. (3) Borrow money to effect the purposes of this Act. Any notes or other evidence of indebtedness of the association not in default shall be legal investments for domestic insurers and may be carried as admitted assets. (4) Employ or retain such persons as are necessary to handle the financial transactions of the association and to perform such other functions as become necessary or proper under this Act. (5) Negotiate and contract with any liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator, or ancil- lary receiver to carry out the powers and duties of the association. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1980 1615 (6) Take such legal action as may be necessary to avoid payment of improper claims. (7) Exercise, for the purposes of this Act and to the extent approved by the Commissioner, the powers of a domestic life or health insurer; but in no case may the association issue insurance policies or annuity contracts other than those necessary to perform the contractual obligations of the impaired or insolvent insurer. Section 9. Assessments, (a) For the purpose of providing the funds necessary to carry out the powers and duties of the association, the board of directors shall assess the member insurers separately for each account at such time and for such amounts as the board finds necessary. Assessments shall be due not less than 30 days after prior written notice to the member insurers. (b) There shall be three classes of assessments, as follows: (1) Class A assessments shall be made for the purpose of meeting administrative costs and other general expenses not related to a particular impaired or insolvent insurer, and examinations conducted under the authority of Section 12(c). (2) Class B assessments shall be made to the extent necessary to carry out the powers and duties of the association under Section 8 with regard to an impaired or insolvent domestic insurer. (3) Class C assessments shall be made to the extent necessary to carry out the powers and duties of the association under Section 8 with regard to an insolvent foreign or alien insurer. (c) (1) The amount of any Class A assessment shall be determined by the board of directors and may be made on a non-pro rata basis. Such assessment for costs and expenses other than for examinations shall not exceed $50.00 per company in any one calendar year. The amount of any Class B or C assessment shall be allocated for assessment purposes among the accounts in Section 6(a) in the proportion that the premiums received by the impaired or insolvent insurer on the policies covered by each account for the last calendar year preceding the assessment in which the impaired or insolvent insurer received premiums bears to the premiums received by such insurer for such calendar year on all covered policies. (2) Class C assessments against member insurers for each account shall be in the proportion that the premiums received on business in this state by each assessed member insurer on policies by each account for the last calendar year preceding the assessment bears to such premiums received by all assessed member insurers on business in this state for such calendar year preceding the assessment. (3) Class B assessments for each account shall be made separately for each state in which the impaired or insolvent domestic insurer was authorized to transact insurance at any time in the proportion that the premiums received on business in such state by the impaired or insolvent insurer on policies covered by such account for the last calendar year preceding the assessment in which the impaired or insolvent insurer received premiums bears to such premiums received in all such states for such calendar year by the impaired or insolvent insurer. The assessments against member insurers shall be in the proportion that the premiums received on business in each such state by each assessed member insurer on policies covered by each account for the calendar year preceding the assessment bears to such premiums received by all assessed member insurers on business in each state for such calendar year preceding the assessment. (4) Assessments for funds to meet the requirements of the association with respect to an impaired or insolvent insurer shall not be made until necessary to implement the purposes of this Act. Classification of assessments under subsection (b) and computation of assessments under this subsection shall be made with a reasonable degree of accuracy, recognizing that exact determinations may not always be possible. (d) The association may abate or defer in whole or in part the assessment of a member insurer if, in the opinion of the board of directors, payment of the assessment would endanger the ability of the member insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations. In the event an assessment against a member insurer is abated or deferred in whole or in part, the amount by which such assessment is abated or deferred may be assessed against 1616 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, the other member insurers in a manner consistent with the basis for assessments set forth in this section. (e) The total of all assessments upon a member insurer for each account shall not in any one calendar year exceed 2 percent of such insurer's premiums received in this state on the policies covered by the account during the calendar year preceding the assessment. If the maximum assessment in any account, together with the other assets of the association, does not provide in any one year in such account an amount sufficient to carry out the responsibilities of the association, the necessary additional funds shall be assessed as soon thereafter as permitted by this Act. (f) The board may, by an equitable method as established in the plan of operation, refund to member insurers, in proportion to the contribution of each insurer to that account, the amount by which the assets of the account exceed the amount the board finds is necessary to carry out the obligations of the association during the coming year with regard to that account, including assets accruing from net realized gains and income from investments. A reasonable amount may be retained in any account to provide funds for the continuing expenses of the association and for future losses if the board determines that refunds are impractical. (g) It shall be proper for any member insurer in determining its premium rates and policy-owner dividends as to any kind of insurance within the scope of this Act to consider the amount reasonably necessary to meet its assessment obligations under this Act. (h) The association shall issue to each insurer paying an assessment under this Act, other than Class A assessment, a certificate of contribution, in a form prescribed by the Commissioner for the amount of the assessment paid. All outstanding certificates shall be of equal dignity and priority without reference to amounts or dates of issue. A certificate of contribution may be shown by the insurer in its financial statement as an asset in such form, for such an amount and for such period of time, not to exceed five years from the date of assessment, as the Commissioner may approve. Section 10. Plan of operation, (a) (1) The association shall submit to the Commissioner a plan of operation and any amendments thereto necessary or suitable to assure the fair, reasonable, and equitable administration of the association. The plan of operation and any amendments thereto shall become effective upon approval in writing by the Commissioner. (2) If the association fails to submit a suitable plan of operation within 180 days following July 1, 1980, or if at any time thereafter the association fails to submit suitable amendments to the plan, the Commissioner shall, after notice and hearing, adopt and promulgate such reasonable rules as are necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Act. Such rules shall continue in force until modified by the Commissioner or superseded by a plan submitted by the association and approved in writing by the Commissioner. (b) All member insurers shall comply with the plan of operation. (c) The plan of operation shall, in addition to requirements enumerated elsewhere in this Act: (1) Establish procedures for handling the assets of the association. (2) Establish the amount and method of reimbursing members of the board of directors under Section 7. (3) Establish regular places and times for meetings of the board of directors. (4) Establish procedures for records to be kept of all financial transactions of the association, its agents, and the board of directors. (5) Establish any additional procedures for assessments under Section 9. (6) Contain additional provisions necessary or proper for the execution of the powers and duties of the association. (d) The plan of operation may provide that any or all powers and duties of the association, except those under Sections 8(j)(3) and 9, shall be delegated to a corporation, association, or other organization which performs or will perform functions similar to those of this association or its equivalent in two or more states. Such a corporation, association, or organization shall be reimbursed for any payments made on behalf of the association and shall be paid for its performance of any function of the association. A delegation under WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1980 1617 this subsection shall take effect only with the approval of both the board of directors and the Commissioner and may be made only to a corporation, association, or organization which extends protection not substantially less favorable and effective than that provided by this Act. Section 11. Duties and powers of the Commissioner. In addition to the duties and powers enumerated elsewhere in this Act, (a) The Commissioner shall: (1) Upon request of the board of directors, provide the association with a state- ment of the premiums in the appropriate states for each member insurer. (2) When an impairment is declared and the amount of the impairment is deter- mined, serve a demand upon the impaired insurer to make good the impairment within a reasonable time. Notice to the impaired insurer shall constitute notice to its shareholders, if any. The failure of the insurer to comply promptly with such demand shall not excuse the association from the performance of its powers and duties under this Act. (b) The Commissioner may suspend or revoke, after notice and hearing, the certificate of authority to transact insurance in this state of any member insurer which fails to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation. (c) Any action of the board of directors may be appealed to the Commissioner by any member insurer if such appeal is taken within 30 days of the action being appealed. Any final action or order of the Commissioner shall be subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction. (d) The liquidator, rehabilitator, or conservator of any impaired insurer may notify all interested persons of the effect of this Act. Section 12. Prevention of insolvencies, (a) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, make reports and recommendations to the Commissioner upon any matter germane to the solvency, liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation of any member insurer, or to the solvency of any company seeking to do an insurance business in this state. Such reports and recommendations shall not be considered public documents. (b) It shall be the duty of the board of directors, upon majority vote, to notify the Commissioner of any information indicating any member insurer may be an impaired or insolvent insurer. (c) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, request that the Commissioner order an examination of any member insurer which the board in good faith believes may be an impaired or insolvent insurer. Within 30 days of the receipt of such request, the Commissioner shall begin such examination. The examination may be conducted as a National Association of Insurance Commissioners' examination or may be conducted by such persons as the Commissioner designates. The cost of such examination shall be paid by the association and the examination report shall be treated the same as other examination reports. In no event shall such examination report be released to the board of directors prior to its release to the public, but this shall not preclude the Commissioner from complying with subsection (a). The Commissioner shall notify the board of directors when the examination is completed. The request for an examination shall be kept on file by the Commissioner, but it shall not be open to public inspection prior to the release of the examination report to the public. (d) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, make recommendations to the Commissioner for the detection and prevention of insurer insolvencies. (e) The board of directors shall, at the conclusion of any insurer insolvency in which the association was obligated to pay covered claims, prepare a report to the Commissioner containing such information as it may have in its possession bearing on the history and causes of such insolvency. The board shall cooperate with the board of directors of guaranty associations in other states in preparing a report on the history and causes of insolvency of a particular insurer and may adopt by reference any report prepared by such other associations. Section 13. Credits for assessments paid, (a) A member insurer may offset against its premium tax liability to this state an assessment described in Section 9 to the extent 1618 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, of 20 percent of the amount of such assessment for each of the five calendar years following the year in which such assessment was paid. In the event a member insurer should cease doing business, all uncredited assessments may be credited against its premium tax liability for the year it ceases doing business. (b) Any sums acquired by refund, pursuant to Section 9(f) from the association which have theretofore been written off by contributing insurers and offset against premium taxes as provided in subsection (a) above, and are not then needed for purposes of this Act, shall be paid by the association to the Commissioner and by him deposited with the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services for credit to the general fund of this state. Section 14. Miscellaneous provisions, (a) Records shall be kept of all negotiations and meetings in which the association or its representatives are involved to discuss the activities of the association in carrying out its powers and duties under Section 8. Records of such negotiations or meetings shall be made public only upon the termination of a liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation proceeding involving the impaired or insolvent insurer, upon the termination of the impairment or insolvency of the insurer, or upon the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this subsection shall limit the duty of the association to render a report of its activities under Section 15. (b) For the purpose of carrying out its obligations under this Act, the association shall be deemed to be a creditor of the impaired or insolvent insurer to the extent of the assets attributable to covered policies, reduced by any amounts to which the association is entitled as subrogee pursuant to Section 8(h). All assets of the impaired or insolvent insurer attributable to covered policies shall be used by the association to continue all covered policies and pay all contractual obligations of the impaired or insolvent insurer as required by this Act. For purposes of this subsection, that portion of the total assets of an impaired or insolvent insurer that is attributable to covered policies shall be determined by using the same proportion as the reserves that should have been established for such policies bears to the reserves that should have been established for all policies of insurance written by the impaired or insolvent insurer. (c) (1) Prior to the termination of any liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation proceeding, the court may take into consideration the contributions of the respective parties, including the association, the shareholders, and policy owners of the insolvent insurer and any other party with a bona fide interest, in making an equitable distribution of the ownership rights of such insolvent insurer. In such a determination, consideration shall be given to the welfare of the policyholders of the continuing or successor insurer. (2) No distribution to stockholders of an impaired or insolvent insurer shall be made until and unless the total amount of valid claims of the association for funds expended in carrying out its powers and duties under Section 8 with respect to such insurer has been fully recovered by the association. (d) (1) If an order for liquidation or rehabilitation of an insurer domiciled in this state has been entered, the receiver appointed under such order shall have a right on behalf of the insurer to recover from any affiliate the amount of distributions, other than stock dividends paid by the insurer on its capital stock, made at any time during the five years preceding the petition for liquidation or rehabilitation, subject to the limitations of subsections (b), (c), and (d). (2) No such distribution shall be recoverable if the insurer shows that the distribution was lawful and reasonable when paid and that the insurer did not know and could not reasonably have known that the distribution might adversely affect the ability of the insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations. (3) Any person who was an affiliate that controlled the insurer at the time the distributions were paid shall be liable to the extent of the distributions received. Any person who was an affiliate that controlled the insurer at the time the distributions were declared shall be liable to the extent of the distributions that would have been received if such distributions had been paid immediately. Whenever two persons are liable with respect to the same distribution, they shall be jointly and severally liable. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1980 1619 (4) The maximum amount recoverable under this subsection shall be the amount needed in excess of all other available assets of the insolvent insurer to pay the contractual obligations of the insolvent insurer. (5) Whenever any person liable under paragraph (3) is insolvent, all affiliates that controlled it at the time the distribution was paid shall be jointly and severally liable for any resulting deficiency in the amount recovered from the insolvent affiliate. Section 15. Examination of the association; annual report. The association shall be subject to examination and regulation by the Commissioner. The board of directors shall submit to the Commissioner not later than May 1 of each year a financial report and a report of its activities for the preceding calendar year on forms approved by the Commissioner. Section 16. Tax exemptions. The association shall be exempt from payment of all fees and all taxes levied by this state or any of its political subdivisions, except taxes levied on real property. Section 17. Immunity. There shall be no liability on the part of, and no cause of action of any nature shall arise against, any member insurer or its agents or employees, the association or its agents or employees, members of the board of directors, or the Commissioner or his representatives, for any action taken by them in the performance of their powers and duties under this Act. Section 18. Stay of proceedings; reopening default judgments. All proceedings in any court in this state in which the insolvent insurer is a party shall be stayed 60 days from the date of a final order of liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation to permit proper legal action by the association on any matters germane to its powers or duties. As to judgment entered under any decision, order, verdict, or finding based on default, the association may apply to have such judgment set aside by the same court that made such judgment and shall be permitted to defend against such suit on the merits. Section 19. Prohibited advertisement of Georgia Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act in insurance sales, (a) No person, including an insurer, agent, or affiliate of an insurer, shall make, publish, disseminate, circulate, or place before the public, or cause directly or indirectly to be made, published, disseminated, circulated, or placed before the public, in any newspaper, magazine, or other publication, or in the form of a notice, circular, pamphlet, letter, or poster, or over any radio station or television station, or in any other way, any advertisement, announcement, or statement which uses the existence of the Georgia Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association for the purposes of sales, solicitation, or inducement to purchase any form of insurance covered by this Act. Provided, however, that this section shall not apply to the Georgia Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association or any other entity which does not sell or solicit insurance. (b) Any person who violates subsection (a) may, after notice and hearing and upon order of the Commissioner, be subject to one or more of the following: (1) A monetary penalty of not more than $1,000.00 for each act or violation but not to exceed an aggregate penalty of $10,000.00; or (2) Suspension or revocation of his license or certificate of authority. Section 20. Timely filing of claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, "contractual obligation" shall not include a claim filed after the final date set by the court for the filing of claims against the liquidator or other such court appointed authority. Section 21. Effective date. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1980. Section 22. Repealer. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following Committee substitute was read and withdrawn by unanimous consent. 1944 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, A BILL To amend Code Title 26, known as the Criminal Code, so as to make it unlawful to use a pattern of violations of certain laws of this state or proceeds therefrom to acquire, maintain an interest in, establish, or conduct any enterprise or real or personal property; to provide a short title, findings, and intent; to define terms; to provide for criminal penalties; to provide for alternative fines; to provide for civil remedies and forfeitures; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for severability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

(c) Venue shall be in the county of residence of any person whose interest in the property is alleged to be subject to forfeiture; or if no such person resides in this state then the county where the property is found. (d) A RICO forfeiture proceeding shall be instituted by complaint and prosecuted by the district attorney. The proceeding may be commenced before or after seizure of the property. (1) If the complaint is filed before seizure, it shall state what property is sought to be forfeited, the grounds for forfeiture, and the names of all persons known to have or claim an interest in the property. The court shall determine ex parte whether there is reasonable cause to believe that the property is subject to forfeiture and that notice to those persons having or claiming an interest in the property prior to seizure would cause the loss or destruction of the property. If the court finds that reasonable cause does not exist to believe the property is subject to forfeiture, it shall dismiss the complaint. If the court finds that reasonable cause does exist to believe the property is subject to forfeiture but there is not reasonable cause to believe that prior notice would result in loss or destruction, it shall order service on all persons known to have or claim an interest in the property prior to a further hearing on whether a writ of seizure should issue. If the court finds that there is reasonable cause to believe that the property is subject to forfeiture and to believe that prior notice would cause loss or destruction, it shall without any further hearing or notice issue a writ of seizure directing the sheriff of the county where the property is found to seize it. 1946 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (2) If the complaint is not filed before seizure, it shall be filed within 10 days after seizure. Seizure without a writ of seizure may be made by a law enforcement officer if the seizure is incident to a lawful arrest, search, or inspection and the officer has probable cause to believe the property is subject to forfeiture and the property will be lost or destroyed if not seized. (e) Within 10 days after the complaint is filed or the seizure effected, whichever is later, every person known to have or claim an interest in the property shall be served with a copy of the complaint and a notice of seizure if not previously served. Service by publication may be ordered upon any party whose whereabouts cannot be determined. (f) Any person claiming an interest in the property may become a party to the action at any time prior to judgment, whether named in the complaint or not. Any party claiming a substantial interest in the property may upon motion be allowed by the court to take possession of the property upon posting bond with good and sufficient security in double the amount of the property's value conditioned to pay the value of any interest in the property found to be subject to forfeiture or the property of another not subject to forfeiture. Such a party taking possession shall not remove the property from the territorial jurisdiction of the court without written permission from the court. (g) After service of process all further proceedings shall be as provided in the Georgia Civil Practice Act; except that any party may bring one motion to dismiss at any time and such motion shall be heard and ruled on within 10 days. (h) The interest of an innocent party in the property shall not be subject to forfeiture. An innocent party is one who did not have actual knowledge that and recklessly disregard evidence that the property was subject to forfeiture. (i) Subject to the requirement of protecting the interest of all innocent parties, the court may after judgment of forfeiture make any of the following orders for disposition of the property: (1) Destruction of contraband, the possession of which is illegal; (2) Retention by the seizing law enforcement agency or transfer to the Department of Public Safety or the Department of Archives of contraband useful for historical or instructional purposes; (3) Retention of the property by any innocent party having an interest therein, upon payment or approval of a plan for payment into court of the value of any forfeited interest in the property; (4) Judicial sale of the property; or (5) Transfer of the property to any innocent party having an interest therein equal to or greater than the value of the property. (j) The net proceeds of any sale after satisfaction of the interest of any innocent party, less the greater of one-half thereof or the costs borne by the county in bringing the forfeiture action, shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury. The costs borne by the county or one-half of the net proceeds of sale, whichever is greater, shall be paid into the county treasury. 26-3406. Other civil remedies, (a) Any superior court may, after making due provisions for the rights of innocent persons, enjoin violations of the provisions of Code Section 26-3403 by issuing appropriate orders and judgments including, but not limited to: (1) Ordering any defendant to divest himself of any interest in any enterprise, including real property; (2) Imposing reasonable restrictions upon the future activities or investments of any defendant including, but not limited to, prohibiting any defendant from engaging in the same type of endeavor as the enterprise in which he was engaged in violation of the provisions of Code Section 26-3403; (3) Ordering the dissolution or reorganization of any enterprise; (4) Ordering the suspension or revocation of any license, permit, or prior approval granted to any enterprise by any agency of the state; or (5) Ordering the forfeiture of the charter of a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Georgia or the revocation of a certificate authorizing a foreign corpora- tion to conduct business within the State of Georgia upon a finding that the board TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1980 1947 of directors or a managerial agent acting on behalf of the corporation, in conducting affairs of the corporation, has authorized or engaged in conduct in violation of Code Section 26-3403 and that, for the prevention of future criminal activity, the public interest requires that the charter of the corporation be forfeited and that the corporation be dissolved or the certificate be revoked. (b) Any aggrieved person or the state may institute a proceeding under subsection (a). In such proceeding, relief shall be granted in conformity with the principles that govern the granting of injunctive relief from threatenad loss or damage in other civil cases, provided that no showing of special or irreparable damage to the person shall have to be made. Upon the execution of proper bond against damages for an injunction improvidently granted and a showing of immediate danger of significant loss or damage, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction may be issued in any such action before a final determination on the merits. (c) Any person who is injured by reason of any violation of the provisions of Code Section 26-3403 shall have a cause of action for three times the actual damages sustained and, where appropriate, punitive damages. Such person shall also recover attorneys' fees in the trial and appellate courts and costs of investigation and litigation, reasonably incurred. (1) The defendant or any injured person may demand a trial by jury in any civil action brought pursuant to this Code section. (2) Any injured person shall have a right or claim to forfeited property or to the proceeds derived therefrom superior to any right or claim the state or the county (other than for costs) has in the same property or proceeds. To enforce such a claim, the injured person must intervene in the forfeiture proceeding prior to its final disposition. (d) A final judgment or decree rendered in favor of the State of Georgia in any criminal proceeding under this chapter shall estop the defendant in any subsequent civil action or proceeding as to all matters proved in the criminal proceeding. 26-3407. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a criminal or civil action or proceeding under this chapter may be commenced up until five years after the conduct in violation of a provision of this chapter terminates or the cause of action accrues. If a criminal prosecution, civil action, or other proceeding is brought, or intervened in, to punish, prevent, or restrain any violation of the provisions of this chapter, the running of the period of limitations prescribed by this Code section with respect to any cause of action arising under subsection (b) or (c) which is based in whole or in part upon any matter complained of in any such prosecution, action, or proceeding shall be suspended during the pendency of such prosecution, action, or proceeding and for two years following its termination. 26-3408. The application of one civil remedy under any provision of this chapter shall not preclude the application of any other remedy, civil or criminal, under this chapter or any other provision of law. Civil remedies under this chapter are supplemental and not mutually exclusive. 26-3409. Enforcement of chapter, (a) The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is hereby granted concurrent jurisdiction with the sheriffs and city and county law enforcement officers to investigate and enforce any violation of Code Section 26-3403. (b) It is the intent of this subsection to clearly delineate that the authority and power conferred upon the Georgia Bureau of Investigation by this section is limited to the investigation of only those activities which are directly connected with and are essential to enforce the criminal provisions of and the civil remedies available pursuant to this chapter. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is hereby granted the investigatory authority and the authority to exercise the power of arrest in order to enforce the provi- sions of this chapter. Such authority and power shall be concurrent with the authority and powers of local law enforcement officers to likewise enforce the provisions of this chapter. This section and this chapter are not intended, nor shall they be construed in any manner or fashion to serve directly or indirectly as a means or device to expand or enhance the criminal jurisdiction of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation beyond the scope of those specific activities and actions which are proscribed by the provisions of 1948 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, this chapter. The enumeration of crimes which may constitute racketeering activity as set forth in Code Section 26-3402 does not confer upon the Georgia Bureau of Investigation any ancillary investigatory authority or power or any general jurisdictional responsibility over any such crime. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation shall have the authority to investigate, pursuant to the authority of this section, activities which constitute violations of the laws and parts of laws referred to in Code Section 26-3402 only if the activity which shall constitute such a crime also constitutes racketeering activity within the meaning of this chapter and is the subject of an active RICO case under investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation." Section 2. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. The following substitute, offered by Representatives Kemp of the 139th, Tuten of the 153rd, and Fuller of the 6th, was read: A BILL To amend Code Title 26, known as the Criminal Code, so as to make it unlawful to use a pattern of violations of certain laws of this state or proceeds therefrom to acquire, maintain an interest in, establish, or conduct any enterprise or real or personal property; to provide a short title, findings, and intent; to define terms; to provide for criminal penalties; to provide for civil remedies and forfeitures; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for severability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Code Title 26, known as the Criminal Code, is hereby amended by adding thereto a new Code chapter, to be designated Code Chapter 26-34, to read as follows: "CHAPTER 26-34 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations 26-3401. Short title; findings and intent, (a) This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act.' (b) The General Assembly finds that a severe problem is posed in this state by the increasing organization among certain criminal elements and the increasing extent to which criminal activities and funds acquired as a result of criminal activity are being directed to and against the legitimate economy of the state. The General Assembly declares that the intent of this chapter is to impose sanctions against this subversion of the economy by organized criminal elements and to provide compensation to private persons injured thereby. It is not the intent of the General Assembly that isolated incidents of misdemeanor conduct be prosecuted under this chapter, but only an interrelated pattern of criminal activity the motive or effect of which is to derive pecuniary gain. This chapter shall be construed to further that intent. 26-3402. Definitions.

Forfeiture shall be had by a civil procedure known as a RICO forfeiture proceeding under the following rules. 1950 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (b) A RICO forfeiture proceeding shall be governed by the Georgia Civil Practice Act, except to the extent that special rules of procedure are stated herein. (c) A RICO forfeiture proceeding shall be an in rem proceeding against the property. (d) A RICO forfeiture proceeding shall be instituted by complaint and prosecuted by the district attorney of the county in which the property is located or seized. The proceeding may be commenced before or after seizure of the property. (1) If the complaint is filed before seizure, it shall state what property is sought to be forfeited, that the property is within the jurisdiction of the court, the grounds for forfeiture, and the names of all persons known to have or claim an interest in the property. The court shall determine ex parte whether there is reasonable cause to believe that the property is subject to forfeiture and that notice to those persons having or claiming an interest in the property prior to seizure would cause the loss or destruction of the property. If the court finds that reasonable cause does not exist to believe the property is subject to forfeiture, it shall dismiss the complaint. If the court finds that reasonable cause does exist to believe the property is subject to forfeiture but there is not reasonable cause to believe that prior notice would result in loss or destruction, it shall order service on all persons known to have or claim an interest in the property prior to a further hearing on whether a writ of seizure should issue. If the court finds that there is reasonable cause to believe that the property is subject to forfeiture and to believe that prior notice would cause loss or destruction, it shall without any further hearing or notice issue a writ of seizure directing the sheriff of the county where the property is found to seize it. (2) Seizure may be effected by a law enforcement officer authorized to enforce the penal laws of this state prior to the filing of the complaint and without a writ of seizure if the seizure is incident to a lawful arrest, search, or inspection and the officer has probable cause to believe the property is subject to forfeiture and will be lost or destroyed if not seized. Within ten days of the date of seizure, such seizure shall be reported by said officer to the district attorney of the circuit in which the seizure is effected; and the district attorney shall, within 30 days of receiving notice of seizure, file a complaint for forfeiture. The complaint shall state, in addition to the information required in paragraph (1) of this subsection (d), the date and place of seizure. (e) After the complaint is filed or the seizure effected, whichever is later, every person known to have or claim an interest in the property shall be served, if not previously served, with a copy of the complaint and a notice of seizure in the manner pro- vided by the Georgia Civil Practice Act. Service by publication may be ordered upon any party whose whereabouts cannot be determined. (f) (1) Any person claiming an interest in the property may become a party to the action at any time prior to judgment, whether named in the complaint or not. Any party claiming a substantial interest in the property may upon motion be allowed by the court to take possession of the property upon posting bond with good and sufficient security in double the amount of the property's value conditioned to pay the value of any interest in the property found to be subject to forfeiture or the value of any interest of another not subject to forfeiture. Such a party taking possession shall not remove the property from the territorial jurisdiction of the court without written permission from the court. (2) The court may, upon such terms and conditions as prescribed by it, order that the property be sold by an innocent party who holds a lien on or security interest in the property at any time during the proceedings. Any proceeds from such sale over and above the amount necessary to satisfy the lien or security interest shall be paid into court pending final judgment in the forfeiture proceeding. No such sale shall be ordered, however, unless the obligation upon which the lien or security interest is based is in default. (3) Pending final judgment in the forfeiture proceeding, the court may make any other disposition of the property which is in the interest of substantial justice. (g) After service of process all further proceedings shall be as provided in the Georgia Civil Practice Act; except that any party may bring one motion to dismiss at any time and such motion shall be heard and ruled on within 10 days. Any party may demand a jury trial. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1980 1951 (h) The interest of an innocent party in the property shall not be subject to forfeiture. An innocent party is one who did not have actual or constructive knowledge that the property was subject to forfeiture. (i) Subject to the requirement of protecting the interest of all innocent parties, the court may after judgment of forfeiture make any of the following orders for disposition of the property: (1) Destruction of contraband, the possession of which is illegal; (2) Retention for official use by any agency of this state or any political subdivision thereof. When such agency or political subdivision no longer has use for such property, it shall be disposed of by judicial sale; (3) Transfer to the Department of Archives of property useful for historical or instructional purposes; (4) Retention of the property by any innocent party having an interest therein, upon payment or approval of a plan for payment into court of the value of any forfeited interest in the property; such & plan may include, in the case of an innocent party who holds a lien on or security interest in the property, the sale of the property by said innocent party under such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the court and the payment into court of any proceeds from such sale over and above the amount necessary to satisfy the lien or security interest; (5) Judicial sale of the property; (6) Transfer of the property to any innocent party having an interest therein equal to or greater than the value of the property; or (7) Any other disposition of the property which is in the interest of substantial jus- tice and adequately protects innocent parties. (j) The net proceeds of any sale or disposition after satisfaction of the interest of any innocent party, less the greater of one-half thereof or the costs borne by the county in bringing the forfeiture action, shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury. The costs borne by the county or one-half of the net proceeds of sale or disposition, whichever is greater, shall be paid into the treasury of the county where the forfeiture action is brought. 26-3406. Other civil remedies, (a) Any superior court may, after making due provisions for the rights of innocent persons, enjoin violations of the provisions of Code Section 26-3403 by issuing appropriate orders and judgments including, but not limited to: (1) Ordering any defendant to divest himself of any interest in any enterprise, real property, or personal property; (2) Imposing reasonable restrictions upon the future activities or investments of any defendant including, but not limited to, prohibiting any defendant from engaging in the same type of endeavor as the enterprise in which he was engaged in violation of the provisions of Code Section 26-3403; (3) Ordering the dissolution or reorganization of any enterprise; (4) Ordering the suspension or revocation of any license, permit, or prior approval granted to any enterprise by any agency of the state; or (5) Ordering the forfeiture of the charter of a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Georgia or the revocation of a certificate authorizing a foreign corporation to conduct business within the State of Georgia upon a finding that the board of directors or a managerial agent acting on behalf of the corporation, in conducting affairs of the corporation, has authorized or engaged in conduct in violation of Code Section 26-3403 and that, for the prevention of future criminal activity, the public interest requires that the charter of the corporation be forfeited and that the corpora- tion be dissolved or the certificate be revoked. (b) Any aggrieved person or the state may institute a proceeding under subsection (a). In such proceeding, relief shall be granted in conformity with the principles that govern the granting of injunctive relief from threatened loss or damage in other civil cases, provided that no showing of special or irreparable damage to the person shall have to be made. Upon the execution of proper bond against damages for an injunction improvidently granted and a showing of immediate danger of significant loss or damage, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction may be issued in any such action before a final determination on the merits. 1952 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (c) Any person who is injured by reason of any violation of the provisions of Code Section 26-3403 shall have a cause of action for three times the actual damages sustained and, where appropriate, punitive damages. Such person shall also recover attorneys' fees in the trial and appellate courts and costs of investigation and litigation, reasonably incurred. (1) The defendant or any injured person may demand a trial by jury in any civil action brought pursuant to this Code section. (2) Any injured person shall have a right or claim to forfeited property or to the proceeds derived therefrom superior to any right or claim the state or the county (other than for costs) has in the same property or proceeds. To enforce such a claim, the injured person must intervene in the forfeiture proceeding prior to its final disposition. (d) A conviction in any criminal proceeding under this chapter shall estop the defendant in any subsequent civil action or proceeding as to all matters proved in the crimi- nal proceeding. 26-3407. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a criminal or civil action or proceeding under this chapter may be commenced up until five years after the conduct in violation of a provision of this chapter terminates or the cause of action accrues. If a criminal prosecution or civil action is brought by the state to punish or prevent any violation of this chapter, then the running of this period of limitations, with respect to any cause of action arising under subsection 26-3406(b) or (c) which is based upon any matter complained of in such prosecution or action by the state, shall be suspended during the pendency of such prosecution or action by the state and for two years thereafter. 26-3408. The application of one civil remedy under any provision of this chapter shall not preclude the application of any other remedy, civil or criminal, under this chapter or any other provision of law. Civil remedies under this chapter are supplemental and not mutually exclusive. 26-3409. Enforcement of chapter, (a) The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is hereby granted concurrent jurisdiction with the sheriffs and city and county law enforcement officers to investigate and enforce any violation of Code Section 26-3403.

If any defendant has any claim against the plaintiff which exceeds the jurisdiction of the court, he may use a part thereof to offset the claim of the plaintiff. Section 11. When the judgment is to be rendered and the party against whom it is to be entered requests it, the judge shall inquire fully into the earnings and financial status of such party and shall have full discretionary power to stay the entry of judgment, to stay execution, and to order partial payments in such amounts, over such periods, and upon such terms as shall seem just under the circumstances and as will assure a definite and steady reduction of the judgment until it is finally and completely satisfied. Section 12. The judge of a small claims court shall not be obligated to collect such deferred partial payments on judgments so rendered but, if the plaintiff so requests, he may do so at the expense of the plaintiff for clerical and accounting costs incurred thereby. Section 13. The chief judge of the superior court presiding in any such county may, from time to time, make rules for a simple, inexpensive, and speedy procedure to effectuate the purposes of this Act and shall have power to prescribe, modify, and improve the forms to be used therein to insure the proper administration of justice and to accomplish the purposes hereof. Section 14. The judge of a small claims court shall have the power to appoint one or more marshals of and for said small claims court to act within and throughout the limits of such county. Such marshals shall serve at the pleasure of the judge and under his direction. Any person so appointed shall be known and designated as "small claims court marshal." Any such small claims court marshal shall have the powers and authority and shall be subject to the penalties of lawful constables of the State of Georgia, including the power to serve any and all summons and writs issued from or by said small claims court. Said marshals shall also have the power to make levies, conduct judicial sales, and account therefor, in the manner of lawful constables. Within five days following their appointment, all such marshals shall take and subscribe the oath of office prescribed in Code Section 24-804 and give the bond prescribed in Code Section 24-811. Such marshals shall be subject to removal from office for failure of duty or malfeasance in office, as are other lawful constables of this state. The sheriff of said counties and his deputies shall also have the power and authority to serve summons, make levies and sales, and serve as ex officio marshals of said court. Section 15. A judgment of a small claims court shall become a lien on both the real and personal property of a defendant, regardless of where such property is situated within the state. Said judgment shall become a lien at the time an execution based upon such judgment is filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court for such county and the entry thereof is made by the clerk in the general execution docket for said county. Section 16. Appeals may be had from judgments returned in a small claims court to the superior court and the same provisions now provided for by general law for appeals, contained in Code Chapter 6-1, to the superior court, shall be applicable to appeals from a small claims court to the superior court, the same to be a de novo appeal.

Such adjusted gross income, as used herein, shall include income from whatever source derived other than any federal old-age survivors or disability insurance benefits or benefits received from any retirement or pension fund when such benefits are based on contributions made thereto by such resident. The exemption contained herein does apply to bonded indebtedness. 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 Habersham County, giving his age and the amount of income which he 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. In addition, each owner who is totally disabled shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he or his agent files affidavits from at least two licensed medical doctors stating that in their professional opinion such owner is, by reason of physical or mental disability, unable to obtain gainful employment and such disability is likely to be permanent. The Tax Commissioner shall provide affidavit forms for these purposes. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit 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. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980.

A record of each such transaction shall be maintained by the pharmacist, together with a notation of the card number and amount. The pharmacist shall compute the total amount of such deductions in each calendar month and shall deduct the monthly total, together with an additional amount of 3 percent of the amount of the report to defer the pharmacist's costs of administration, from the amount of sales and use tax due on his monthly report as required pursuant to Code Chapter 91A-45. Such deductions shall be taken and substantiated in the manner provided by rule or regulation of the Department of Revenue.

The department shall post in application areas large notices of the availability of this program.

The following Senate substitute was read: A RESOLUTION Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to limit the power of local taxing jurisdictions in Richmond County to levy and collect ad valorem taxes; to provide for submission of this amendment of ratification or rejection; and for other purposes. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1980 2167 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding a new paragraph at the end thereof to read as follows: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, no local taxing jurisdiction in Richmond County may levy or collect an ad valorem tax in any tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1981, at a mill rate higher than the ad valorem tax mill rate authorized in this paragraph, unless the mill rate is approved by a majority of the qualified electors of the local taxing jurisdiction voting in a referendum called for such purpose. The maximum mill rate each such local taxing jurisdiction may levy in any tax year without a referendum as provided in this paragraph shall be determined as follows: (1) multiply the mill rate levied by the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year beginning 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 107'V; (2) then, multiply the mill rate determined in (1), above, by a fraction the numerator of which is the net taxable digest for the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year preceding the year the tax is to be levied; rounded off to the nearest $10,000,000.00 and the denominator of which is the net taxable digest for 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. This Act shall apply to the tax year beginning January 1, 1981, and each succeeding year. 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 referendum 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 jurisdiction 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 approving 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, insurrection, riot, earthquake, nuclear occurrence, seizure, explosion, freezing, aircrafts, vehicles, 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 payments 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 two-thirds majority that the emergency does exist and the expenditures are in fact to be made as the result of the emergency. The General Assembly may, by local law, authorize the levy of additional assessments to provide for capital improvements, judicial commands and precepts, or mandated programs not funded by state or federal funds, and establish procedures for the administration of the provisions of this paragraph." 2168 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, 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?" 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. Representative Swann of the 90th moved that the House agree to the Senate substitute to HR 516-1355. On the motion, the ayes were 120, nays 0. The motion prevailed.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Article VIII, Section VII of the Constitution is hereby amended by adding two new paragraphs at the end thereof, to be designated Paragraph III and Paragraph IV respectively, to read as follows: "Paragraph III. Special State Sales and Use Tax for Education, (a) There is hereby levied beginning January 1, 1981, a special retail sales and use tax for educational purposes at the rate of one percent (l/o). The tax imposed by this Paragraph shall correspond, so far as practicable, except as to rate, with the retail sales and use tax levied by the Georgia Retailers' and Consumers' Sales and Use Tax, approved February 20, 1951 (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 360), as now or hereafter amended. The General Assembly may provide by law a bracketing system for the collection of the tax levied by this Paragraph. Items and transactions which are not subject to said retail sales and use tax shall not be subject to the one percent (1%) retail sales and use tax levied by this Paragraph. (b) (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article III, Section X, Paragraph VII, an amount equal to all money received by the State in each State fiscal year from the tax levied by this Paragraph, less the amount of refunds, rebates, collection costs, and WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1980 2169 administrative costs authorized by this Section or by law, is appropriated to the State Department of Education, or its successor agency, for each following State fiscal year. (2) (A) An amount of the funds appropriated to the State Department of Education by this Paragraph in each year shall be allocated to each public school system in this State in the same ratio as the ratio of the total enrollment of the public and nonpubiic schools in the school district bears to the total enrollment of public and accredited nonpubiic schools in the State as a whole. For the purposes of this Paragraph, a nonpubiic school is 'accredited' if the school is an exempt organization pursuant to Section 501 (c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or its successor provision of the United States Internal Revenue Code. (B) As used in this subparagraph, 'public and nonpubiic schools' does not include postsecondary schools, colleges, or institutions. (3) The money appropriated by this Paragraph shall be used for educational purposes and shall be available for the purposes of this Paragraph regardless of whether the General Assembly enacts a General Appropriations Act. or not, but the General Assembly may appropriate funds for the purposes of this Paragraph in excess of the amount of money appropriated by this Paragraph. The expenditure of the money appropriated by this Paragraph shall be subject to all the rules, regulations, and restrictions imposed on the expenditure of appropriations by provisions of the Constitution and laws of this State, unless such provisions are in conflict with the provisions of this Paragraph, except that the money appropriated by this Paragraph shall not be subject to budgetary reduction. (c) One percent (i'<) of all money derived from the retail sales and use tax levied in this Paragraph shall be paid into the general fund of the State to defray the costs of the administration of the tax levied by this Paragraph. (d) The General Assembly may provide by law for the retention by the Fiscal Division, Department of Administrative Services of funds which otherwise would be distributed to a school district pursuant to this Paragraph when the funds are deemed to be surplus and in excess of the legitimate expenses of the school district for educational purposes in that fiscal year. The identification and use of such funds shall be determined as provided by law. Paragraph IV. Reduction of Millage: Benefit of Sales Tax to Be Shown on Tax Bill, (a) Beginning January 1, 1982, the annual school tax mill rate for each school district on property owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the State Revenue Commissioner or his successor shall be adjusted as provided in this Paragraph. (b) The mill rate necessary to produce revenue from taxation of tangible property in the school district which, when combined with other revenues reasonably expected to be received by the school district during the year other than revenues derived from the tax imposed pursuant to this Section, would provide revenues sufficient to defray the expenses of the school district for the year shall be computed. (c) The mill rate ascertained as provided in subparagraph (b) shall then be reduced by a mill rate which, if levied against the tangible property within the school district owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the State Revenue Commissioner or his successor, would produce an amount equal to the proceeds of the tax levied under this Section which were received by the school district during the preceding year. The mill rate produced by such reduction shall then be certified to the authority levying the tax as the annual school tax levy for the school district for property owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the State Revenue Commissioner or his successor, except that the mill rate so certified to the authority levying the tax shall not exceed a mill rate which is the difference between the lawful mill rate limitation in effect in the school district and the mill rate representing the proceeds of the sales tax for educational purposes received by the school district during the previous year. (d) The mill rate ascertained as provided in subparagraph (b), without the reduction provided in subparagraph (c), shall be certified to the authority levying the tax as the 2170 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, annual school tax levy for the school district for property owned by taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the State Revenue Commissioner or his successor. (e) Each bill for ad valorem school taxes on property owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the State Revenue Commissioner or his successor shall show as a credit against school taxes, which otherwise would have been levied in the district on such property to enable the district to raise the total of its revenues from the school tax and the sales tax for educational purposes, the amount of benefit to the taxpayer as a result of the sales tax levied by Paragraph III of this Section."

Upon the death of the retired member, all monthly benefits shall cease as of the end of the month in which the retired member died. In the event that the total monthly benefits paid at the time of the member's death are less than the amount of contributions which the member made to the system, the difference between the benefits paid and the amount of contributions shall be refunded to the person who may have been designated in writing by the retired member or to the retired member's estate if no such person has been named or has predeceased the member. This paragraph shall not apply when an optional allowance has been selected by the member under subsection (8) of this Section." so that when so amended the last unnumbered paragraph at the end of paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of Section 5, shall be redesignated as paragraph (b.l), and shall read in full as follows: "(b.l) The benefit payable under this subsection and under subsection (3) of this Section shall be payable to the retired member for the remainder of his lifetime and shall be known as the Maximum Plan. Upon the death of the retired member, all monthly benefits shall cease as of the end of the month in which the retired member died. In the event that the total monthly benefits paid at the time of the member's death are less than the accumulated contributions of the member at the time of his retirement, the difference between the benefits paid and such accumulated contributions shall be refunded to the person who may have been designated in writing by the retired member, or to the retired member's estate if no such person has been designated or if such designated person has predeceased the member." Section 2. Said Act is further amended by adding a new paragraph at the end of subsection (8) of Section 5, to be designated as paragraph (c), and to read as follows: "(c) Upon the death of the retired member and then thereafter the death of the person designated by him to receive continuing retirement benefits under Options 2, 3 or 4, in the event that the total monthly benefits paid to the retired member and to such person designated to receive continuing benefits do not equal or exceed the retired member's accumulated contributions at the time of his retirement, the difference shall WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1980 2189 be refunded to the person designated in writing by the retired member to receive such a refund of this difference.

Section 3. Said Act is further amended by adding another new paragraph at the end of subsection (8) of Section 5, to be designated as paragraph (d), and to read as follows: "(d) If the person designated by the retired member to receive continuing monthly retirement benefits under Options 2, 3 or 4 predeceases the retired member, in the event that the total monthly benefits paid to the retired member do not equal or exceed the retired member's accumulated contributions at the time of his retirement, the difference shall be refunded to the person designated in writing by the retired member to receive such a refund of this difference. If the person designated by the retired member to receive a refund of this difference also predeceases the retired member, or if such designees are the same person, or if no person is designated to receive this difference, this difference shall be paid to the estate of the retired member." Section 4. Said Act is further amended by inserting the following words in the second sentence of subsection (13) of Section 1, after the word "by" and before the word "a", as follows: "an employer for a member or by" so that when so amended, subsection (13) of Section 1 shall read as follows: "(13). 'Earnable compensation' shall mean the full rate of regular compensation payable to a member teacher for his full normal working time. All monies paid by an employer for a member or by a member into any plan of tax sheltered annuity shall be included as earnable compensation for the purpose of computing any contributions required to be made to the Teachers' Retirement System, and also for the purpose of computing any benefits or allowances payable under this Act. 'Earnable compensation' shall include compensation paid to a member by an employer as defined in subsection (4) of Section 1 from grants or contracts made by outside agencies with the employer." Section 5. The remaining unnumbered paragraphs under paragraph (c) of subsection (2) of Section 5 shall remain the law and fully effective, but shall be redesignated as one whole paragraph, redesignated as paragraph (c.l), so that when so redesignated paragraph (c.l) of subsection (2) of Section 5 shall read as follows: "(c.l) Provided, however, upon service retirement of any teacher who is a member of a local retirement fund, such teacher shall receive a service retirement pension on account of his service thereunder, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9, which shall consist of: (i) a pension equal to the annuity which would have been allowable at age of retirement if such teacher had been a member of this System and had made contributions of five (5) per centum of his earnable compensation payable from State funds, but not to exceed an annuity allowable at age 65 computed on the basis of such contributions as would have been made prior to age 65. (ii) If he has a prior service certificate in full force and effect an additional pension equal to the annuity which would have been provided at age of retirement, but not to exceed an annuity which would have been provided at age 65 by three times the amount of his prior service accumulations as heretofore defined, with regular interest thereon from time to time in effect from the date of establishment until the date of his retirement, but not to exceed the attainment of age 65." Section 6. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 7.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Code Title 88, relating to public health, as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of Code Section 88-402, relating to rights of hospitalized alcohol or drug dependent persons, a new section, to be designated Section 88-402.24, to read as follows: "88-402.24. Notification and consultation rights, (a) At the time an adult patient's representative is designated under Section 88-402.18, and at least every 12 months thereafter, such patient shall be notified that, unless objected to by the patient, such representative will be permitted to consult with the facility regarding the development of the patient's individualized treatment plan and the patient's treatment under such plan. The representative of a minor patient, and the representative of an adult patient not objecting to consultation as herein authorized, may consult with the facility regarding the development of such patient's individualized treatment plan and the patient's treatment under such plan. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1980 2199 (b) At least 15 days prior to any substantial change in the individualized treatment plan or treatment thereunder of an adult patient, such patient shall be notified that such patient's representative will be notified of such change unless objected to by the patient within four days. The representative of a minor patient, and the representative of an adult patient not objecting to notification of such representative as herein authorized, shall be notified within ten days prior to any substantial change in such patient's individualized treatment plan or the treatment under such plan. In an emergency where delay due to providing prior notification under this subsection (b) would create serious damage to the health of the patient, such a substantial change may be made without such prior notification if: (1) The patient's record specifies the circumstances surrounding the emergency; (2) Within 24 hours after the change an adult patient is notified of his right to object, within four days, to his representative's being notified of such change; and (3) The representative of a minor patient, and the representative of an adult patient not objecting to notification of such representative as herein authorized, shall be notified of such change within 15 days after such change occurs. For purposes of this subsection (b), 'substantial change' means any change other than that involving only the routine day-to-day care of the patient. (c) A patient's legal guardian shall have the consultation and notification rights of a patient's representative under subsections (a) and (b) of this section without regard to whether or not the patient is a minor and without regard to whether or not the patient objects to such consultation, notification, or both. A patient for whom a legal guardian has been appointed shall not be notified of any right to object under this section. (d) For purposes of this section, 'representative' means the representative designated by the patient or, in the absence of such designation, the person selected as a representative in the order of listing under Code Section 88-402.18(a) but shall not mean the patient's legal guardian." Section 2. Said Code title is further amended by adding at the end of Code Section 88-502, relating to rights of hospitalized mentally ill persons, a new section, to be designated Code Section 88-502.24, to read as follows: "88-502.24. Notification and consultation rights, (a) At the time an adult patient's representative is designated under Section 88-502.18, and at least every 12 months thereafter, such patient shall be notified that, unless objected to by the patient, such representative will be permitted to consult with the facility regarding the development of the patient's individualized service plan and the patient's treatment under such plan.

The representative of a minor patient, and the representative of an adult patient not objecting to notification of such representative as herein authorized, shall be notified within ten days prior to any substantial change in such patient's individualized service plan or the treatment under such plan. In an emergency where delay due to providing prior notification under this subsection (b) would create serious damage to the health of the patient, such a substantial change may be made without such prior notification if: (1) The patient's record specifies the circumstances surrounding the emergency; (2) Within 24 hours after the change an adult patient is notified of his right to object, within four days, to his representative's being notified of such change; and (3) The representative of a minor patient, and the representative of an adult patient not objecting to notification of such representative as herein authorized, shall be notified of such change within 15 days after such change occurs. 2200 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, For purposes of this subsection (b), 'substantial change' means any change other than that involving only the routine day-to-day care of the patient.

For purposes of this subsection (b), 'proper identification' means any document issued by a governmental agency containing a description of the person, such person's photograph, or both, and giving such person's date of birth, and includes without being limited to a passport, military identification card, driver's license, or an identification card authorized under an Act providing for the issuance of identification cards by the Department of Public Safety, approved April 17, 1973 (Ga.

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 Turner County who is 62 years of age or over or who is disabled is hereby granted an exemption from all Turner County and Turner 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 Turner 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 Turner County who are 65 years of age or over and a homestead exemption from school taxes for Turner 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.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Declaration of purpose. It is the purpose of this Act to permit voluntary deductions from wages or salaries of employees of the State of Georgia for the benefit of charitable health and welfare organizations and to provide for the distribution of funds collected. Section 2. Definition. "Charitable organization" means any nonprofit corporation chartered or authorized to do business in the State of Georgia and whose purpose is the promotion of human welfare through reducing mental or physical pain or education for disease prevention or medical well-being and offering such services on a community-wide basis or such a nonprofit corporation which coordinates the funding for agencies providing such services. Religious organizations are excluded from the definition except where a social service function is operated on a nonsectarian basis with a distinct and separate budget for the social service function. The organization must also be exempt from taxation under Ga. Code Section 91A-3605, as now or hereafter amended, and be an organization to which contributions are authorized as deductible by Section 170 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. Section 3. Deductions authorized. Under a state charitable deductions plan authorized by this Act, any agency, board, commission, department, or institution of this state shall be authorized to deduct from the salaries or wages of its employees, amounts designated by the employee for the purpose of contribution to charitable organizations. No such deduction procedure shall be implemented without the approval of the head of the agency, board, commission, department, or institution. No deduction shall be made without the written request of the employee, which request shall designate the exact amount which is to be deducted. Any employee who has consented to a deduction is hereby authorized to withdraw from such plan upon one month's written notice. Each employee may select, once per year during an annual fund drive, no more than five charitable organizations from an approved list as described in Section 6(b) of this Act to receive specified amounts of the funds deducted from his or her salary. Each employee may, in the alternative, authorize a charitable deduction to be made without specifying recipient agencies; such funds deducted shall be distributed on a pro rata basis in proportion to total designations to the various approved recipient charitable organizations. This pro rata basis may be established as a percentage of total designations made within a solicitation area when an area committee, as described in Section 5(f) of this Act, is formed, or within the respective state agency, board, commission, department, or institution. Determinations of distributions to undesignated recipient agencies shall be made annually at the end of the quarter after the fund drive. Instructions relating to such designation by employees shall be clearly stated on the document or documents provided for payroll deduction authorization. Such instructions shall include a clear statement that undesignated funds will be distributed in this manner. Section 4. Confidentiality; coercion prohibited. No person shall disclose to any other person the amounts or designations of authorized deductions of another, except as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act or as is authorized in writing by the person whose deductions are sought to be disclosed. No person shall pressure, coerce or in any way intimidate any employee to have such deduction made from the employee's salary or with reference to the amount of such deduction to be made. The head of each agency, board, commission, department, or institution shall review any violations or alleged violations of this section and assure that appropriate disciplinary action is taken, which may include, without being limited to, discharge from employment, consistent with policies of that agency, board, commission, department, or institution. Section 5. Establishment of charitable deductions committees, (a) The State Charitable Deduction Committee is hereby established. The committee shall consist of five voting TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1980 2267 members. The governor shall appoint four members to serve for terms of one year. Such appointees may not serve for more than three consecutive years. Two of such appointees shall be the head of a state agency, board, commission, department, or institution, or the designee thereof, and two shall represent classified state employees. The fifth member shall be the commissioner of Personnel Administration or his designee. The five members of the State Charitable Deduction Committee shall elect one member to serve as chairman each year. Such members shall receive no additional compensation or allowances for services on such committee. No person shall serve as a member while serving in a policy-making role with any of the various recipient charitable organizations receiving funds from the state charitable deduction plan established by this Act. The State Charitable Deduction Committee shall serve as a screening committee for health and welfare organizations and agencies who apply for admission to the state charitable deduction plan. Only those agencies and organizations approved by the state committee will be eligible to participate in charitable campaigns among state employees. (b) The State Charitable Deduction Committee shall have the authority, pursuant to the Administrative Practices and Procedures Act, to promulgate rules and regulations governing solicitations among state employees. (c) The State Charitable Deductions Committee may require disclosures as provided herein from charitable agencies and organizations approved or seeking approval, and may establish annual dates for such information to be submitted. (d) The State Charitable Deduction Committee shall select a qualified and disinterested institution as administrator of funds for management and distribution to recipient charitable organizations. Such distribution shall be made at least once each calendar quarter and shall include all cash funds on hand, all invested funds received 30 or more days prior to the disbursement date, and all interest accrued thereon, minus any necessary administrative expenses of the institution agreed upon by the committee and the administering institution in advance. (e) Subject to the provisions of this Act, each state agency, board, commission, department, and institution is authorized to create an organization composed of current employees to organize and implement the solicitation of funds deducted from the salaries of its employees. Subject to the guidance and approval of the State Charitable Deduction Committee, the number of members and composition of such organization shall be at the discretion of the head of each agency, board, commission, department, or institution, and shall be representative of its employees. No deduction for charitable purposes shall be made by employees of a state agency, board, commission, department, or institution which has not established such organization. (f) The agency, board, commission, department, or institution by mutual agreement and with approval or within guidelines set by the State Charitable Deduction Committee, may join with one or more other agencies, boards, commissions, departments, or institutions for the purposes of organizing for solicitation and apportionment of funds as provided in this Act. Subject to the provisions of this Act, each organization so formed is authorized to draft bylaws providing for the selection of members, the employee solicitation, and the apportionment of funds consistent with the provisions of this Act. Such bylaws shall become effective upon approval of the head or heads of the one or more agencies, boards, commissions, departments, and institutions involved, and upon the approval of the State Charitable Deduction Committee. (g) The organization bylaws as provided in Section 5(f) may provide for participation in area committees which may be formed to coordinate the conduct of the solicitation of state employees working in that area. Section 6. Selection of charitable organizations. The State Charitable Deduction Committee as established in accordance with Section 5 shall carry out the following functions: (a) It shall evaluate requests by charitable organizations who apply for admission to the state charitable deduction plan. This evaluation shall include statements of purpose of the charitable organization, review of its current and proposed budget, if available, and the most recent independent audit separately showing the amount of funds required to 2268 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, administer, to secure total financial support, and to carry out the purposes of the organization. The committee may require any other information it deems appropriate to assist in its decisions. To be admitted to the plan, a charitable organization must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the committee that it conducts a significant program in the State of Georgia. (b) It shall maintain and provide to agencies, boards, commissions, departments, and institutions of the state a list of approved charitable organizations. (c) It shall review and revise as is deemed appropriate, at least on an annual basis, the list of charitable organizations which may be included in the plan for the succeeding 12 month period. (d) It shall disapprove for independent participation any charitable organization which has local affiliates or chapters receiving funds from any United Way organization participating in the state charitable deduction plan. For purposes of this plan, the local United Way and not the member agencies of the local United Way, shall be considered a "health and welfare organization" for solicitation purposes. Section 7. Deductions as a privilege. Deductions from salaries of employees and transmittal to charitable organizations may be offered as a privilege and no right of action shall accrue to the employee or to any charitable organization for errors, omissions, or decisions of administrative employees or officials regarding such deductions. Section 8. Administrative expenses. No person serving as a member of any committee or organization authorized by this Act shall receive any additional compensation or allowances for service thereon. The State Charitable Deductions Committee shall ensure that no more than 8 percent of the contributions in the first year of operation and no more than 5 percent for each succeeding year shall be incurred annually for all administrative expenses including posters, enrollment cards, or other expenditures required for the solicitation and disbursement of funds. Agencies shall be reimbursed from deductions for all actual expenses which can be reasonably identified resulting from the administration of the state charitable deductions plan. Section 9. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. Section 10. Effective date. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 11. Repealer.

Each employee may select, once per year during an annual fund drive, no more than ten charitable organizations from an approved list as described in Section 6(b) of this Act to receive specified amounts of the funds deducted from his or her salary. Each employee may, in the alternative, authorize a charitable deduction to be made without specifying recipient agencies; such funds deducted shall be distributed on a pro rata basis in proportion to total designations to the various approved recipient charitable organizations. This pro rata basis may be established as a percentage of total designations made within a solicitation area when an area committee, as described in Section 5(f) of this Act, is formed, or within the respective state agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution. Determinations of distributions to undesignated recipient agencies shall be made annually at the end of the quarter after the fund drive. Instructions relating to such designation by employees shall be clearly stated on the document or documents provided for payroll deduction authorization. Such instructions shall include a clear statement that undesignated funds will be distributed in this manner. Designations shall neither be encouraged nor discouraged. Section 4. Confidentiality; coercion prohibited. No person shall disclose to any other person the amounts or designations of authorized deductions of another, except as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act or as is authorized in writing by the person whose deductions are sought to be disclosed. No person shall pressure, coerce or in any way intimidate any employee to have such deduction made from the employee's salary or with reference to the amount of such deduction to be made. The head of each agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution shall review any violations 2270 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, or alleged violations of this section and assure that appropriate disciplinary action is taken, which may include, without being limited to, discharge from employment, consistent with policies of that agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution. Section 5. Establishment of charitable deductions committees, (a) The State Charitable Deduction Committee is hereby established. The committee shall consist of five voting members. The governor shall appoint four members to serve for terms of one year. Such appointees may not serve for more than three consecutive years. Two of such appointees shall be the head of a state agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution, or the designee thereof, and two shall represent classified state employees. The fifth member shall be the commissioner of Personnel Administration or his designee. The five members of the State Charitable Deduction Committee shall elect one member to serve as chairman each year. Such members shall receive no additional compensation or allowances for services on such committee. No person shall serve as a member while serving in a policy-making role with any of the various recipient charitable organizations receiving funds from the state charitable deduction plan established by this Act. The State Charitable Deduction Committee shall serve as a screening committee for health and welfare organizations and agencies who apply for admission to the state charitable deduction plan. Only those agencies and organizations approved by the state committee will be eligible to participate in charitable campaigns among state employees. Decisions of the State Charitable Deduction Committee approving or disapproving a charitable organization for admission to the state charitable deduction plan may be appealed as a contested case under the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act," as now or hereafter amended, and such committee shall constitute an agency for purposes of said Act. Members of the committee shall not be liable for the good faith performance of their duties under this Act. (b) The State Charitable Deduction Committee shall have the authority, pursuant to the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act," as now or hereafter amended, to promulgate rules and regulations for the carrying out of this Act, including but not limited to rules governing solicitations among state employees. (c) The State Charitable Deductions Committee may require disclosures as provided herein from charitable agencies and organizations approved or seeking approval, and may establish annual dates for such information to be submitted. (d) The State Charitable Deduction Committee shall select a qualified and disinterested institution as administrator of funds for management and distribution to recipient charitable organizations. Such distribution shall be made at least once each calendar quarter and shall include all cash funds on hand, all invested funds received 30 or more days prior to the disbursement date, and all interest accrued thereon, minus any necessary administrative expenses of the institution agreed upon by the committee and the administering institution in advance. (e) Subject to the provisions of this Act, each state agency, board, commission, department, authority, and institution is authorized to create an organization composed of current employees to organize and implement the solicitation of funds deducted from the salaries of its employees. Subject to the guidance and approval of the State Charitable Deduction Committee, the number of members and composition of such organization shall be at the discretion of the head of each agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution, and shall be representative of its employees. No deduction for charitable purposes shall be made by employees of a state agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution which has not established such organization. (f) The agency, board, commission, department, authority, or institution by mutual agreement and with approval or within guidelines set by the State Charitable Deduction Committee, may join with one or more other agencies, boards, commissions, departments, authorities, or institutions for the purposes of organizing for solicitation and apportionment of funds as provided in this Act. Subject to the provisions of this Act, each organization so formed is authorized to draft bylaws providing for the selection of members, the employee solicitation, and the apportionment of funds consistent with the provisions of this Act. Such bylaws shall become effective upon approval of the head or heads of the one or more agencies, boards, commissions, departments, authorities, and institutions involved, and upon the approval of the State Charitable Deduction Committee. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1980 2271 (g) The organization bylaws as provided in Section 5(f) may provide for participation in area committees which may be formed to coordinate the conduct of the solicitation of state employees working in that area. Section 6. Selection of charitable organizations. The State Charitable Deduction Committee as established in accordance with Section 5 shall carry out the following functions: (a) It shall evaluate requests by charitable organizations who apply for admission to the state charitable deduction plan. This evaluation shall include statements of purpose of the charitable organization, review of its current and proposed budget, if available, and the most recent independent audit separately showing the amount of funds required to administer, to secure total financial support, and to carry out the purposes of the organization. The committee may require any other information it deems appropriate to assist in its decisions. To be admitted to the plan, a charitable organization must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the committee that it conducts a significant program in the State of Georgia. (b) It shall maintain and provide to agencies, boards, commissions, departments, authorities, and institutions of the state a list of approved charitable organizations. (c) It shall review and revise as is deemed appropriate, at least on an annual basis, the list of charitable organizations which may be included in the plan for the succeeding 12 month period. (d) It shall disapprove for independent participation any charitable organization which has local affiliates or chapters receiving funds from any United Way organization participating in the state charitable deduction plan. United Way affiliates are eligible to receive designated charitable deductions channeled through the local United Way organization. The local affiliate or chapter receiving funds from a particular United Way will be listed alphabetically under the United Way heading, along with all other approved participating organizations, in all solicitation materials distributed during the campaign period. To provide equity, the list will begin at different stages of the alphabet in subsequent years. Section 7. Deductions as a privilege. Deductions from salaries of employees and transmittal to charitable organizations may be offered as a privilege and no right of action shall accrue to the employee or to any charitable organization for errors, omissions, or decisions of administrative employees or officials regarding such deductions. Section 8. Administrative expenses. No person serving as a member of any committee or organization authorized by this Act shall receive any additional compensation or allowances for service thereon. The State Charitable Deductions Committee shall ensure that no more than 8 percent of the contributions in the first year of operation and no more than 5 percent for each succeeding year shall be incurred annually for all administrative expenses including posters, enrollment cards, or other expenditures required for the solicitation and disbursement of funds. Agencies shall be reimbursed from deductions for all actual expenses which can be reasonably identified resulting from the administration of the state charitable deductions plan. Section 9. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. Section 10. Effective date. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 11. Repealer. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. 2272 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, by substitute, was agreed to, by substitute.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by striking in their entirety the seventh, fourteenth, and fifteenth unnumbered paragraphs thereof and substituting in lieu thereof new seventh, fourteenth, and fifteenth unnumbered paragraphs, respectively, to read as follows: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1980 2273 "Each person who is sixty-five (65) years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all State and county ad valorem taxes in the amount of $4,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as hereinafter provided, does not exceed $4,000.00 $8,000.00 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 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 processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner 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. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31,1974 1980.

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 title holders, if actually occupied by one or more such owners as a residence, and one or more such title holders possesses the qualifications provided for in this paragraph. In such instances, such exemptions shall be granted to such properties, 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 provided for herein and shall claim the exemptions granted by this 2274 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, paragraph in the manner herein provided.

The Tax Receiver or 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 title holders, if actually occupied by one or more such owners as a residence, and one or more such title holders possesses the qualifications provided for in this paragraph. In such instances, such exemptions shall be granted to such properties, 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 provided for herein and shall claim the exemptions granted by this paragraph in the manner herein provided.

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.

The Tax Commissioner shall provide the necessary forms for this purpose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto, but after any such person has filed the proper application and certificates, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file said certificates thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such person. It shall be the duty of any such person, however, to notify the 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.

For the purposes of this paragraph, the term 'totally and permanently disabled person' shall mean any person who is unable to engage in any substantially gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. A person shall not be considered to be permanently and totally disabled unless he furnishes proof of the existence thereof in such form and manner, and at such times, as the tax commissioner may require. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the tax commissioner of Richmond County giving information to the effect that he is totally and permanently disabled as herein defined 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. 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 increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980." Section 2.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Code Title 88, relating to public health, as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof a new Code Chapter, to be designated Code Chapter 88-34, to read as follows: "CHAPTER 88-34 Registration of Spinal-cord Disabled 88-3401. Legislative intent. It is the intent of the General Assembly to insure the registration of all spinal-cord-disabled persons by the Department of Human Resources in order that all spinal-cord-disabled persons might obtain rehabilitative services provided by existing State agencies, departments, and other organizations and individuals. 88-3402. Definitions. As used in this Chapter: (a) 'Spinal-cord disabled' means any spinal cord disease, injury, or neural tube defect, whether congenital or acquired, which results in partial or total loss of motor or sensory functions and which results in partial or total disability whether such disability is temporary or permanent. (b) 'Department' means the Department of Human Resources. 88-3403. Registration procedures. Except as otherwise provided, every public and private health and social agency, and every physician authorized to practice medicine in this State, shall report to the Department any person such agency or physician has identified as being spinal-cord disabled. The report shall be made within seven calendar days after identification of the spinal-cord-disabled person. The report shall contain the name, age, address, type and extent of disability, and such other information concerning the disabled person as the Department may require. If the spinal-cord-disabled person is identified as having temporary partial disability, the person making such identification shall request consent of the disabled person, or of such disabled person's immediate family or guardian if the disabled person is unable to consent, to make such report; only if such consent is obtained shall such report be required to be made for such temporary partial disability. 88-3404. Duties of the Department, (a) The Department shall establish procedures whereby a spinal-cord-disabled person for whom a report is made under this Chapter shall be referred to appropriate public or private departments or agencies for treatment and rehabilitative services unless such disabled person, or such person's immediate family or guardian if such person is unable to give consent, refuses to consent to such referral; provided, that such referrals shall be made notwithstanding such failure to obtain consent if the disabled person is a recipient of State funds to maintain such person including, but not limited to, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Workers' Compensation. (b) The Department shall keep a list and short summary of services offered by State departments, divisions, agencies, and private organizations that serve spinal-corddisabled individuals and send a copy thereof to each person whose disability is recorded. (c) The Department's Epidemiological Section shall maintain records of reports, notifications, and referrals made under this Chapter. (d) Statistical information collected under this Chapter shall be available to any other federal or State agency or private organization concerned with spinal cord dysfunction, but no names or addresses will be provided without the consent of the spinal-corddisabled person, or the consent of the immediate family or guardian of such person if that person is unable to consent." Section 2. Code Title 88, relating to public health, as amended, is hereby amended by adding to it a new Code Chapter 88-35, to read as follows: "CHAPTER 88-35 Use of Extraordinary Life-sustaining Procedures 88-3501. Definitions. For purposes of this Chapter, unless the context otherwise requires: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1980 2367 (a) 'Attending physician' means the physician selected by or assigned to the patient and who has assumed primary responsibility for the treatment and care of the patient, or the physician providing treatment and care of the patient, which physician has been directed by the physician selected by or assigned to the patient to provide such treatment and care. (b) 'Competent adult' means a person of sound mind who is 18 years of age or older. (c) 'Declarant' means a person who has executed a directive authorized by this Code Chapter. (d) 'Directive' means a written document voluntarily executed by the declarant in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 88-3502 or 88-3503. (e) 'Extraordinary life-sustaining procedures' means any medical procedures or intervention which utilize mechanical or other artificial means to sustain, restore or support a vital function, and which are employed to maintain the life of a person suffering from a terminal condition. Such procedures do not include the administration of medication or the performance of any medical procedure deemed necessary to alleviate pain. (f) 'Hospital' means a facility having a valid permit or provisional permit issued under Code Chapter 88-19, and which is primarily engaged in providing to inpatients, by or under the supervision of physicians, diagnostic services and therapeutic services for medical diagnosis, treatment, and care of injured, disabled, or sick persons. (g) 'Physician' means a person lawfully licensed in this State to practice medicine and surgery pursuant to Code Chapter 84-9. (h) 'Patient' means a person receiving care or treatment from a physician. (i) 'Skilled nursing facility' means a facility having a valid permit or provisional permit issued under Code Chapter 88-19, and which provides skilled nursing care and supportive care to patients whose primary need is for availability of skilled nursing care on an extended basis. (j) 'Terminal condition' means, as diagnosed and certified by the attending physician and one other physician who has personally examined the patient, a grave physical disability which is incurable and has an irreversible coma in which the patient is in a vegetative state characterized by the loss of all functions attributed to the cerebrum, but in which certain vital functions such as respiration, temperature regulation, or blood pressure regulation and other functions of the brainstem may be retained, and for which the employment of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures would, within reasonable medical judgment, do nothing more than postpone the imminent and inevitable cessation of all such vital functions. 88-3501.1. Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds that modern medical technology has made possible the artificial prolongation of human life. The General Assembly further finds that, in the interest of protecting individual autonomy, such prolongation of life for persons with a terminal condition may cause loss of patient dignity and unnecessary pain and suffering, while providing nothing medically necessary or beneficial to the patient. The General Assembly further finds that there exists considerable uncertainty in the medical and legal professions as to the legality of terminating the use of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in certain situations. In recognition of the dignity and privacy which patients have a right to expect, the General Assembly hereby declares that the laws of the State of Georgia shall recognize the right of a competent adult person to make a written directive instructing his physician to withhold or withdraw extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in the event of a terminal condition and that in the absence of such a directive, the General Assembly further recognizes the rights of certain close relatives or guardians of certain persons who have a terminal condition and who have suffered certain irreversible cessation of brain function, to request withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures. 88-3502. Directive; witnesses. Any competent adult may execute a document directing that, should the declarant have a terminal condition, extraordinary life-sustaining procedures be withheld or withdrawn unless the declarant is diagnosed as pregnant and such diagnosis is known to the declarant's attending physician. Such directive shall be signed 2368 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, by the declarant in the presence of at least two witnesses who are competent adults and who are not related to the declarant by blood or marriage and who would not be entitled to any portion of the estate of the declarant upon his decease under any will of the declarant, or codicil thereto, existing at the time of such decease or at the time of the execution of the directive, and would not be entitled to any such portion by operation of law under the rules of descent and distribution of this State at the time of the execution of the directive, and who are neither the attending physician, nor an employee of the attending physician, nor an employee of a health facility in which the declarant is a patient, nor any person who has a claim against any portion of the estate of the declarant at the time of the execution of the directive. The directive shall be in the following form: 'DIRECTIVE TO PHYSICIANS Directive made this ___________ day of _____________ (month, year). I, ____________________, being of sound mind, willfully and voluntarily make known my desire that my life shall not be artificially prolonged under the circumstances set forth below, do hereby declare: 1. If at any time I should have an incurable injury, disease or illness certified to be a terminal condition according to Code Section 88-3501(j), and where the application of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures would serve only to artificially prolong the moment of my death and where my physician determines that my death is imminent, I direct that such procedures be withheld or withdrawn and that I be permitted to die. 2. In the absence of my ability to give directions regarding the use of such extraordinary life-sustaining procedures, it is my intention that this directive shall be honored by my family and physician as the final expression of my legal right to refuse medical or surgical treatment and accept the consequences from such refusal. 3. If I have been diagnosed as pregnant and that diagnosis is known to my physician, this directive shall have no force or effect during the course of my pregnancy. 4. This directive shall have no force or effect seven years from the date filled in above; to wit: ___________________. Date 5. I understand that I may revoke this directive at any time. 6. I understand the full import of this directive and I am emotionally and mentally competent to make this directive. Signed ___________________ City, County and State of Residence ___________________ I hereby witness this directive and attest that: (1) The declarant has been personally known to me and I believe the declarant to be of sound mind. (2) I am at least 18 years of age. (3) To the best of my knowledge, at the time of the execution of this directive, I (a) am not related to the declarant by blood or marriage; and (b) would not be entitled to any portion of the declarant's estate by any will or by operation of law under the rules of descent and distribution of this State; and (c) am not the attending physician of declarant or an employee of the attending physician or an employee of a health facility in which declarant is a patient; and (d) have no present claim against any portion of the estate of the declarant. Declarant has signed this document in our presence as above instructed, the day and year above first shown: Witness ____________________ Witness ____________________ Additional witness required when directive is signed in a hospital or skilled nursing facility: I hereby witness this directive and attest that I believe the declarant to be of sound mind and to have willingly and voluntarily made this directive. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1980 2369 Witness: ____________________ Medical director of skilled nursing facility or president of the hospital medical staff 88-3503. Additional witnesses. A directive shall have no force or effect if the declarant is a patient in a hospital or skilled nursing facility at the time the directive is executed unless the directive is signed in the presence of the two witnesses as provided in Code Section 88-3502 and, additionally, is signed in the presence of either the president of the hospital medical staff, if witnessed in a hospital, or the medical director, if witnessed in a skilled nursing facility. 88-3504. Revocation of directive, (a) A directive may be revoked at any time by the declarant, without regard to his mental state or competency, by any of the following methods: (1) By being cancelled, defaced, obliterated or burnt, torn or otherwise destroyed by the declarant or by some person in his presence and by his direction. (2) By a written revocation of the declarant expressing his intent to revoke, signed and dated by the declarant. Such revocation shall become effective only upon communication to the attending physician by the declarant or by a person acting on behalf of the declarant. The attending physician shall record in the patient's medical record the time and date when he received notification of the written revocation. (3) By a verbal expression by the declarant of his intent to revoke the directive. Such revocation shall become effective only upon communication to the attending physician by the declarant or by a person acting on behalf of the declarant. The attending physician shall record in the patient's medical record the time, date and place of the revocation and the time, date and place, if different, when he received notification of the revocation. (b) Any person who participates in the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures pursuant to a directive, as authorized by this Code Chapter, which person has actual knowledge that such directive has been properly revoked, shall not have any civil or criminal immunity otherwise granted under this Code Chapter for such conduct. 88-3505. Duration of directive. A directive shall be effective for a period of seven years from the date of execution thereof unless sooner revoked in a manner prescribed in Code Section 88-3504. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent a declarant from reexecuting a directive at any time in accordance with the formalities of Code Sections 88-3502 and 88-3503. If the declarant has executed more than one directive, such sevenyear period shall be determined from the date of execution of the last directive known to the attending physician. If the declarant becomes comatose or is rendered incapable of communicating with the attending physician, the directive shall remain in effect for the duration of the comatose condition or until such time as the declarant's condition renders the declarant able to communicate with the attending physician. 88-3506. Immunity from liability, (a) No physician, hospital, or skilled nursing facility which, acting in accordance with the requirements of this Code Chapter, causes the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures from a patient as permitted by this Code Chapter shall be subject to civil liability therefor unless negligent. No person licensed as a nurse or physician's assistant under the laws of this State and acting under the direction of a physician, who participates in the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in accordance with the provisions of this Code Chapter, shall be subject to any civil liability therefor unless negligent. No physician, or person licensed as a nurse or physician's assistant under the laws of this State and acting under the direction of a physician, who participates in the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in accordance with the provisions of this Code Chapter shall be guilty of any criminal act therefor unless negligent, nor shall such person be guilty of unprofessional conduct therefor unless negligent. (b) No person who witnesses and attests a directive in good faith shall be civilly or criminally liable or guilty of unprofessional conduct for such action. 2370 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (c) No person shall be civilly or criminally liable or guilty of unprofessional conduct for action taken in good faith and authorized under Code Sections 88-3508, 88-3509, or 88-3510 unless negligent. 88-3507. Carrying out of directive; presumptions, (a) Prior to effecting a withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures from a patient pursuant to a directive, the attending physician: (1) shall determine that, to the best of his knowledge, the patient is not pregnant and the directive complies with Code Section 88-3502 and, where applicable, with Code Section 88-3503; and (2) shall make the directive a part of th& declarant patient's medical records; and (3) shall have such directive approved as provided in Code Section 88-3510. (b) The directive shall be conclusively presumed, unless revoked, to be the directions of the declarant regarding the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures. No physician, and no person licensed as a nurse or physician's assistant under the laws of this State and acting under the direction of a physician, shall be criminally or civilly liable for failing to effectuate the directive of the declarant patient pursuant to this subsection or for failure to carry out a request which has been approved pursuant to Code Section 88-3510. A failure by the attending physician to make a good faith effort to effectuate the directive of a declarant patient pursuant to this subsection or to carry out a request which has been approved pursuant to Code Section 88-3510 shall constitute unprofessional conduct unless such physician makes a good faith effort to make the necessary arrangements or take the necessary steps to effect the transfer of the declarant patient or the person for whom such request has been made to another physician who will effectuate the directive of the declarant patient or who will carry out such request. (c) Any person having no valid directive at the time such person has a terminal condition, and who is not a person described in Code Section 88-3508, shall be presumed not to desire the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures. 88-3508. Persons for whom others may make requests. If any person, whether or not such person is a competent adult, (a) has a terminal condition, and (b) has executed no valid directive of which the attending physician has actual knowledge at the time the patient is diagnosed as having a terminal condition, and (c) is not diagnosed as pregnant, the extraordinary life-sustaining procedures may be withheld or withdrawn as provided in this Code Chapter pursuant to a request made and approved as hereinafter provided. 88-3509. Who may make requests. The extraordinary life-sustaining procedures maintaining a person described in Code Section 88-3508 (a) through (c) may be withheld or withdrawn at the written request of: (a) the spouse of the person for whom the request is made, provided that such requesting spouse is of sound mind and is not estranged from the person for whom the request is made; or (b) if such person has no spouse qualified to make such request under subsection (a), by no less than all of such person's living children who are competent adults; or (c) if such person has no relative qualified to make such request under subsections (a) and (b), by both parents of such person, if both parents are living and of sound mind, or by one parent if only one parent is living and of sound mind; or (d) if such person has no relative qualified to make such request under subsections (a), (b), or (c), by no less than all of such person's living brothers, sisters, half-brothers, and half-sisters who are competent adults; or (e) if such person has no relative qualified to make such request under subsections (a), (b), (c), or (d) by no less than all of such person's living grandparents and grandchildren who are competent adults; or (f) if such person has no relative qualified to make such request under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), the attending physician may petition for the appointment of a guardian, pursuant to Code Chapter 49-6, which guardian may make the request authorized by this Code Section. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1980 2371 88-3510. Approval of requests and directives. The withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in accordance with the request of those persons authorized validly to make such requests, under Code Section 88-3509 or in accordance with a directive, shall be authorized only when such request or directive has been approved by: (a) the attending physician and the executive committee of the medical staff of the hospital in which is hospitalized the declarant or the person for whom the request has been made, or; (b) the attending physician and the medical director of the skilled nursing facility rendering care and treatment to the declarant or to the person for whom the request has been made, provided that when the attending physician is said medical director, in addition to such physician's approval, one physician who has not certified the patient as having a terminal condition shall also approve the request or directive. 88-3511. Not suicide; insurance; directive not required, (a) The withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures from a patient in accordance with the provisions of this Code Chapter shall not, for any purpose, constitute a suicide. (b) The making of a directive or request pursuant to this Code Chapter shall not restrict, inhibit or impair in any manner the sale, procurement or issuance of any policy of life insurance nor shall it be deemed to modify the terms of an existing policy of life insurance. No policy of life insurance shall be legally impaired or invalidated in any manner by the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures from an insured patient, nor shall such withholding or withdrawal operate to deny any additional insurance benefits for accidental death of the patient in any case in which the terminal condition of the patient is the result of accident, notwithstanding any term of the policy to the contrary. (c) No physician, health facility or other health provider and no health care service plan, insurer issuing disability insurance, self-insured employee welfare benefit plan or nonprofit hospital service plan shall require any person to execute a directive as a condition for being insured for, or receiving, health care services. 88-3512. Penalties. Any person who willfully conceals, cancels, defaces, obliterates or damages the directive of another without such declarant's consent or who witnesses a directive knowing at the time he is not eligible to witness such directive under Code Section 88-3502 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as for a misdemeanor. Any person who falsifies or forges the directive of another or willfully conceals or withholds personal knowledge of a revocation as provided in Code Section 88-3504 with the intent to cause a withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures contrary to the wishes of the declarant, and thereby, because of any such act, directly causes extraordinary life-sustaining procedures to be withheld or withdrawn and death to thereby be hastened, shall be subject to prosecution for criminal homicide as provided in Code Chapter 26-11. 88-3513. Chapter cumulative of other laws. Nothing in this Code Chapter shall impair or supersede any legal right or legal responsibility which any person may have to effect the withholding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in any lawful manner. In such respect the provisions of this Code Chapter are cumulative. 88-3514. Construction. Nothing in this Code Chapter shall be construed to condone, authorize or approve mercy killing or to permit any affirmative or deliberate act or omission to end life other than to permit the process of dying as provided in this Code Chapter. Furthermore, nothing in this Code Chapter shall be construed to condone, authorize or approve abortion." Section 3. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. 2372 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Such trust indenture or trust agree- ment may pledge, mortgage, convey, assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber rentals, revenues, fees charges or other funds to be received by the Authority of other property of the Authority.

Any resolution adopted by the Authority or any indenture of trust, trust agreement, or other instrument or agreement executed by the Authority may contain such terms and provisions as the Authority shall approve. Such approval of the Authority shall be conclu- sively established by the execution of any such resolution, indenture of trust, trust agreement or other instrument or agreement by an authorized officer of the Authority.

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 the principal thereof, the premium, if any, and the interest thereon. The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered forms, or both, as the Authority may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest. The bonds may carry such provisions for registration as the Authority may determine. 14. Signature and Seal on Bonds.

In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any revenue bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds or coupons, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. 15. Negotiability of Bonds.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is hereby amended by striking the following paragraph which was added by an amendment appearing at Ga. Laws 1978, p. 2401: "Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, each resident of Butts County who is 62 years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption from all Butts County school ad valorem taxes on the full value of the homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his adjusted gross income (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as now or hereafter amended), together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $8,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year. Such adjusted gross income, as used herein, shall include income from whatever source derived other than any federal old-age survivors or disability insurance benefits or benefits received from any retirement or pension fund when such benefits are based on contributions made thereto by such resident or his spouse. The exemption contained herein does apply to bonded indebtedness. 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 Butts 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 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 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. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1978.", and inserting in its place a new paragraph to read as follows: "Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, each resident of Butts County who is 62 years of age or over is hereby granted an exemption 2442 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, from all Butts County school ad valorem taxes in the amount of $12,000.00 on the assessed value of a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his adjusted gross income (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as now or hereafter amended), together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $8,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year.

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.

(3) "Owner" shall mean the owner, lessor, lessee, security interest holders, and all lienholders as shown on the records of the Department of Revenue. Section 2. Duty of person who removes or stores a motor vehicle, (a) Any person who removes a motor vehicle from public or private property at the request of someone other than the owner or who stores any motor vehicle which has been left unattended shall seek the identity of the owner of such vehicle and shall, within 15 days, notify in writing the Department of Revenue and the Department of Public Safety of the manufacturer's vehicle identification number, license number, the fact that said vehicle is or will become an abandoned motor vehicle, and the present location of such vehicle requesting the name and address of all owners, lessors, lessees, security interest holders, or lienholders. If the person removing or storing the vehicle has knowledge of facts which reasonably indicate that the vehicle is registered or titled in a certain other state, he shall check the motor vehicle records of said other state in the attempt to ascertain the identity of the owner of the vehicle. (b) Upon ascertaining the owner of such motor vehicle, the person removing or storing such vehicle shall, within three days, by certified or registered mail, notify the owner of the location of such vehicle and of the fact that such vehicle shall be deemed abandoned if not redeemed within 60 days or that such vehicle is deemed abandoned because it was left unattended for ten days on a public street, road or highway, or other public or private property. (c) If the identity of the owner of such motor vehicle cannot be ascertained, the person removing or storing such vehicle shall place an advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where such vehicle was obtained or, if there is no newspaper in such county, shall post such advertisement at the county courthouse in such place where other public notices are posted. Such advertisement shall run in the newspaper once a week for four consecutive weeks or shall remain posted at the courthouse for four consecutive weeks. The advertisement shall contain a complete description of the motor vehicle, its license and manufacturer's vehicle identification number, the location where such vehicle was initially left unattended by the owner, the present location of such vehicle, and the fact that said vehicle is deemed abandoned or shall be deemed abandoned if not redeemed within 60 days.

Prior to acquiring such lien, the person must have complied with the requirements of Section 2 of this Act. 2460 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Section 5. Foreclosure of lien. All liens acquired under Section 4 of this Act shall be foreclosed as follows: (a) Any person desiring to foreclose a lien on an abandoned motor vehicle shall, by certified or registered mail, make a demand upon the owner for the payment of the reasonable fees for removal and storage plus the costs of any advertisement. Such written demand shall include an itemized statement of all charges. No such written demand shall be required if the identity of the owner cannot be ascertained and the notice requirements of subsection (c) of Section 2 of this Act have been complied with. (b) If, within ten days of delivery to the appropriate address of the written demand required by subsection (a), the owner of the abandoned motor vehicle fails to respond to such demand or refuses to pay or if the owner of the abandoned motor vehicle cannot be ascertained, the person removing or storing the abandoned motor vehicle may foreclose such lien. The person asserting such lien may move to foreclose by making an affidavit to a court of competent jurisdiction showing all facts necessary to constitute such lien and the amount claimed to be due. Such affidavit shall aver that the notice requirements of Section 2 of this Act have been complied with, and such affidavit shall also aver that a demand for payment has been made and refused or that the identity of the owner cannot be ascertained. The person foreclosing shall verify the statement by oath or affirmation and shall affix his signature thereto. (c) Upon such affidavit's being filed, the lien claimant shall give the clerk or judge of the court the address (if known) of the owner, lessor, lessee, security interest holder, and lienholder of the abandoned vehicle. The clerk or judge of the court shall serve notice upon such owner, lessor, lessee, security interest holder, and lienholder of the abandoned motor vehicle of a right to a hearing to determine if reasonable cause exists to believe that a valid debt exists; that said hearing must be petitioned for within ten days after receipt of such notice; and that, if no petition for such hearing is filed within the time allowed, the lien will conclusively be deemed a valid one and foreclosure thereof allowed. (d) If a petition for a hearing is filed within the time allowed, the court shall set such a hearing within ten days of filing of the petition. If, at the probable cause hearing, the court determines that reasonable cause exists to believe that a valid debt exists, then the person asserting the lien shall retain possession of the motor vehicle or the court shall obtain possession of the motor vehicle, as ordered by the court. The owner-debtor may obtain possession of the motor vehicle by giving bond and security in the amount determined to be probably due and costs of the action. (e) Within five days of the probable cause hearing, the party defendant must petition the court for a full hearing on the validity of the debt if a further determination of the validity of the debt is desired. If no such petition is filed, the lien on the amount determined reasonably due shall conclusively be deemed a valid one and foreclosure thereof allowed. If such a petition is filed, the court shall set a full hearing thereon within 30 days of the filing of the petition. Upon the filing of such petition by the party defendant, neither the prosecuting lienholder nor the court may sell the motor vehicle, although possession of the motor vehicle may be retained. (f) If, after a full hearing, the court finds that a valid debt exists, then the court shall authorize foreclosure upon and sale of the motor vehicle subject to said lien to satisfy said debt if said debt is not otherwise immediately paid. (g) If the court finds the actions of the person asserting the lien in retaining possession of the motor vehicle were not taken in good faith, then the court, in its discretion, may award damages to the owner, agent, or lessee due to the deprivation of the use of the motor vehicle. Any proceeding to foreclose a lien on an abandoned motor vehicle must be instituted within one year from the time the lien is recorded or is asserted by retention. (h) If no petition for a hearing is filed, or if, after a full hearing, the court determines that a valid debt exists, the court shall issue an order authorizing the sale of such motor vehicle. Provided, that the holder of a security interest in or a lien on the vehicle, other than the holder of a lien created by Section 4 of this Act, shall have the right, in the order of priority of such security interest or lien, to pay the debt and court costs. If the holder of a security interest or lien does so pay the debt and court costs, he shall have the right to possession of the vehicle and his security interest in or lien on such vehicle THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2461 shall be increased by the amount so paid. A court order shall be issued to this effect, and in this instance there shall not be a sale of the vehicle. Section 6. (a) Upon order of the court, the person holding the lien on such motor vehicle shall be authorized to sell such motor vehicle at public sale, as defined by Code Section 109A-1-201. (b) After satisfaction of the lien, the person selling such motor vehicle shall turn the remaining proceeds of such sale, if any, over to the clerk of the court. Section 7. The purchaser at a sale as heretofore authorized shall receive a certified copy of the court order authorizing such sale. Any such purchaser may obtain a certificate of title to such motor vehicle by filing the required application, paying the required fees, and filing a certified copy of the order of the court with the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue shall then issue a certificate of title which shall be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Section 8. Proceeds of sale. The clerk of the court shall retain the remaining balance of the proceeds of such sale, after satisfaction of liens, security interests, and debts, for a period of 12 months; and, if no claim has been filed against such proceeds by the owner of the abandoned motor vehicle or any interested party, then he shall pay such remaining balance as follows: (a) If the abandoned motor vehicle came into the possession of the person creating the lien other than at the request of a peace officer, the proceeds of the sale shall be divided equally and paid into the general fund of the county in which the sale was made and into the general fund of the municipality, if any, in which the sale was made. (b) If the abandoned motor vehicle came into the possession of the person creating the lien at the request of a police officer of a municipality, the proceeds of the sale shall be paid into the general fund of the municipality. (c) If the abandoned motor vehicle came into the possession of the person creating the lien at the request of a county sheriff, deputy sheriff, or county police officer, the proceeds of the sale shall be paid into the general fund of the county in which the sale was made. (d) If the abandoned motor vehicle came into the possession of the person creating the lien at the request of a member of the Georgia State Patrol or other employee of the State of Georgia, the proceeds of the sale shall be paid into the general fund of the county in which the sale was made. Section 9. An Act known as the "Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Act," approved March 3, 1961 (Ga. Laws 1961, p. 68), as amended, is hereby amended by striking subsection (c) of Section 32 of said Act which reads as follows: "(c) Garage Operator's Report.

By renumbering Section 2 at the bottom of page 1 as Section 3 and adding a new Section 2 to read as follows: "Section 2. (a) No agency may contract for the purchase of meals to be furnished to persons pursuant to an existing program of assistance to the elderly, children, welfare recipients, or persons under the care or supervision of such entity when such program is funded, either totally or partially, from State, federal, or local governmental funds unless the agency requires that the purchase of prepared meals be made subject to bid and that the contract for the purchase of the meals be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder. Such bidding shall be conducted pursuant to procedures established by the agency involved or, if appropriate, required by law. Each such program shall require, however, that the agency generally solicit names for inclusion on the bid list not less often than annually and that, if the amount of the Department of Human Resources' bid, if any, is greater than 90 percent of the amount of the next lowest bid, the next lowest qualified bidder, and not the department, shall be awarded the contract. (b) As used in this Act, 'agency' means a department, agency, board, bureau, or commission of State government other than the Department of Human Resources. 'Agency' also means any county, municipal corporation, area planning and development commission, county or independent board of education, and public or private nonprofit corporation or organization." The following amendment was read and adopted: Representatives Collins of the 144th and Walker of the 115th move to amend SB 48 by changing the semi-colon to a period on line 17; by deleting the word "and" on line 17; and by adding a new sentence at the end of line 17 as follows: "In determining the cost of such meals to the department, the department must consider the actual cost of the foodstuff and amounts necessary to amortize the labor, equipment, buildings, utilities and fringe benefits necessary to prepare the meals."

By: Senators Hudson of the 35th and Stephens of the 36th: A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend an Act providing for a health insurance plan for state employees, as amended, so as to provide for the continuance, discontinuance, or resumption of health insurance coverage for the spouse of an employee who dies after retirement; and for other purposes. The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: A BILL To amend an Act providing for a health insurance plan for state employees, approved March 16, 1961 (Ga. Laws 1961, p. 147), as amended, so as to provide for the continuance, discontinuance, or resumption of health insurance coverage for the surviving spouse and covered dependents of an employee who dies after retirement; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. An Act providing for a health insurance plan for state employees, approved March 16, 1961 (Ga. Laws 1961, p. 147), as amended, is hereby amended by adding a new subsection at the end of Section 8A, to be designated subsection (c), to read as follows: "(c) The surviving spouse and covered dependents of any retired employee who are included in the contract or contracts for health insurance coverage under the provisions of this Act shall be eligible to continue such coverage after the death of the retired employee upon agreeing to pay employee premiums for such coverage in accordance with the rules and regulations of the board. The board is hereby authorized and directed to promulgate and adopt rules and regulations governing the continuance, discontinuance, or resumption of coverage by any such surviving spouse and covered dependents.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. An Act authorizing the State Personnel Board to provide a health insurance plan for public school teachers of the State of Georgia, approved February 27, 1975 (Ga. Laws 1975, p. 37), as amended, is hereby amended by adding a new Section 7A immediately following Section 7 to read as follows: "Section 7A. (a) In the situation where both husband and wife are eligible to be insured under this Act as either a retired public school teacher, a retiring public school teacher, or an employee, each may enroll for dependent coverage so that the benefits provided by this program will be coordinated; however, the sum of the total benefits provided by this program will not exceed the reasonable charges for covered services. (b) The board shall by July 1, 1980, develop and contract for a plan of health insurance which provides for the coordination of benefits coverage specified in subsection (a) of Section 7A. Those persons who elect to enroll in such plan and who are presently insured under this Act shall have six months from the effective date of the plan to 2478 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, enroll without furnishing a satisfactory health statement, after which anyone electing such coordination of benefits coverage must furnish said health statement." Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 9 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 9 to read as follows: "Section 9. (a) There is hereby created a health insurance fund for public school teachers which shall be available without fiscal year limitations for premium, subscription charges, benefits, and administration costs. The amounts contributed by the state or from federal funds to such health insurance fund, pursuant to this Act shall be credited to such health insurance fund. All other income as well as the income derived from dividends, premium rate adjustments, or other refunds under any such contract or contracts shall be credited to and constitute a part of such fund. Any amounts remaining in such fund after all premiums or subscription charges and other expenses have been paid shall be retained in such fund as a special reserve for adverse fluctuation. The director shall be the custodian of such health insurance fund and shall be responsible under a properly approved bond for all moneys coming into said fund and paid out of said fund as may be required to be paid to any contracting corporation under any contract entered into pursuant to the provisions of this Act and to cover administrative costs. (b) Any amounts held by the health insurance fund which are available for investment shall be paid over to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services. The director, Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services, shall deposit said funds in a trust account for credit only to the health insurance fund. The director, Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services, shall invest these health insurance funds subject to all the terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions imposed by the laws of the State of Georgia upon domestic life insurance companies in the making and disposing of their investments. All income derived from said investment shall accrue to the health insurance fund. When moneys are paid over to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services, as provided herein, the commissioner shall submit an estimate of the date such funds shall no longer be available for investment. When the commissioner wishes to withdraw funds from the trust account provided for herein, he shall submit a request for such withdrawal, in writing, to the director, Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services." Section 3. Said Act is further amended by adding a new subsection (c) at the end of Section 11 to read as follows: "(c) Said board may contract with any health maintenance organization qualified to conduct business in this state pursuant to Code Chapter 56-36, relating to health maintenance organizations, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, which provides evidence that it is qualified to operate as a health maintenance organization in accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare of the United States or may contract with any other corporation licensed under Title 56 which is authorized by law to provide the same types of benefits which are provided by such health maintenance organizations."

Laws 1967, p. 674), as amended, so as to change the limitations on finance charges; to provide for the computation of finance charges on an actuarial basis in addition to the add-on basis; to delete the acquisition charge; to provide for other matters relative thereto; to provide for an effective date; to provide for automatic repeal; to provide for reinstatement of certain finance charges; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. 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 and all vehicles not previously titled $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 $44 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 sale 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), having 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 to the actuarial method, then, for purposes of computing the rate, the entire term of the contract shall be considered to be the number of whole months within the scheduled payment period disregarding any odd days." Section 3. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 5 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 5 to read as follows: "Section 5. Credit upon anticipation of payments. Notwithstanding the provisions of any retail installment contract to the contrary, any buyer may pay in full at any time before maturity the debt of any retail installment contract; and, in so paying such debt, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2491 shall receive a refund credit thereon for such anticipation of payments. The amount of such refund shall represent at least as great a proportion of the finance charge after first as the sum of the monthly time balance after the month in which prepayment is made; bears to the sum of all the monthly time balances under the schedule of payments in the contract. 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 ene 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 acceleration 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." Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 5. The provisions of quoted subsection (a) of Section 1 of this Act shall automatically stand repealed on July 1, 1981, and subsection (a) of Section 4, specifically including the finance charges applicable to Class 1 and Class 2 motor vehicles, of the "Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act," approved April 18, 1967 (Ga.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. An Act known as the "Employment Security Law" (formerly the "Unemployment Compensation Law"), approved March 29, 1937 (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 806), as amended, is hereby amended by striking from paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 4A the following: "Section 8(d)(2) and", so that when so amended paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 4A shall read as follows: "(a) (1) Benefits based on service in employment defined in Section 8(d)(2) and Section 19(h)(8) and (9), shall be payable in the same amount, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as compensation payable on the basis of other services subject to this Act; except that benefits based on service in an instructional, research, or principal administrative capacity in an institution of higher education shall not be paid to an individual for any week of unemployment which begins during the period between two successive academic years, or during a similar period between two regular terms, whether or not successive, or during a period of paid sabbatical leave provided for in the individual's contract, if the individual has a contract or contracts to perform services in any such capacity for any institution or institutions of higher education of both such academic years or both such terms."

Said Act is further amended by adding a new unnumbered paragraph to paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of Section 7 to read as follows: "Provided, further, effective with benefit years beginning on or after July 1, 1980, that benefits paid to an individual who earned base-period wages for part-time employment shall not be charged to the experience rating account of an employer who complies with all of the following: (1) provided base-period part-time employment; (2) continues to provide employment to the same extent as that part-time employment provided in the base period; (3) is an interested party because of the individual's loss of other employment; and (4) furnishes timely information pursuant to the Regulations of the Commissioner of Labor.", so that when so amended paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of Section 7 shall read as follows: (2) Benefits paid to an individual shall be charged, in the amount hereinafter provided, against the accounts of his base-period employers. Provided, however, an employer's account shall not be charged with benefits paid an individual on the current or second benefit year claim based on wages earned prior to his separation from or failure to accept from such employer an offer of work that was suitable in every respect save that of distance due to such individual's change of residence, under disqualifying conditions as provided in Section 5 of this Act; or, provided, further, that an employer shall not be charged with benefits paid if no disqualification is imposed as provided in Section 5 of this Act only because such employer is not the most recent employer; or, provided, further, an employer shall not be charged with benefits paid if an individual's employment was terminated by the retirement of the individual pursuant to a retirement or lump-sum retirement pay plan under which the age of mandatory retirement has been agreed upon by the employer and his employees or by the bargaining agent 2498 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, representing such employees, any such benefits paid to such individuals shall be charged against the fund and not against the account of the employer, and the employer has furnished timely notice of separation or refusal of work pursuant to the Regulations of the Commissioner of Labor. (A) The amount of benefits so chargeable against each base-period employer's account shall be that proportion of the benefits paid to an individual which the baseperiod wages paid to the individual by such employer bear to the total amount of base-period wages paid to the individual by all his base-period employers; Provided, that only fifty per centum of the 'extended benefits' paid shall be so chargeable pursuant to 'Title II PL 91-373'. Provided, further, that the provisions of Public Law 93-572 and any agreement entered into thereunder between the Commissioner and the Secretary of Labor shall be controlling. Charges pursuant to this Section of amounts less than $1.00 shall be disregarded. (B) Effective January 1, 1979, any other provisions of law to the contrary notwithstanding, extended benefits paid that are attributable to service in the employ of any governmental entity as described in section 19(h)(8)(B) shall be financed in their entirety by such governmental entity. Provided, further, effective with benefit years beginning on or after July L 1980, that benefits paid to an individual who earned base-period wages for part-time employment shall not be charged to the experience rating account of an employer who complies with all of the following: (1) provided base-period part-time employment; (2) continues to provide employment to the same extent as that part-time employment provided in the base period; (3) is an interested party because of the individual's loss of other employment; and (4) furnishes timely information pursuant to the Regulations of the Commissioner of Labor." Section 3. Said Act is further amended by striking in their entirety the second and third unnumbered paragraphs of paragraph (5) of subsection (c) of Section 7 and inserting in lieu thereof the following: "Provided, however, that as of any computation date, on and after June 30, 1980, any employer who has failed to file by the end of the month following any computation date or by thirty (30) days from the date of notice to the employer that the reports hereinafter referred to are due and have not been received, whichever is later, (unless the time for filing reports has been further extended under Section 16[e] [Section 54-632.1, Ga. Code Ann.]) all required reports with respect to employment and wages paid, together with such other information as is necessary to compute his contribution rate under this Section, shall not be eligible for a reduced rate but shall be assigned the maximum rate, including increases and decreases resulting from application of Section 7(c)(8) of this Act, assigned to employers with positive reserves if his account shows an excess of contributions over benefits charged, or the maximum rate, including increases or decreases resulting from application of Section 7(c)(8) of this Act, assigned to employers with deficit reserves if his account shows an excess of benefits charged over contributions paid. Such rate shall remain effective until the end of the calendar year for which such rate has been assigned. Provided, also, the above provision shall apply regarding any delinquent reports required pursuant to Section 14(g) of this Act.", so that when so amended paragraph (5) of subsection (c) of Section 7 shall read as follows: "(5) For the year 1942 and each calendar year thereafter, employers shall be classified in accordance with their actual experience in the payment of contributions, and with respect to benefits charged against their accounts, with a view of fixing such contribution rates as will reflect such benefit experience. Each employer's rate for any calendar year shall be determined on the basis of his record as of the computation date for that calendar year. r rOVlded, nowever, tflflt tS Of any COmpUtatlOn QftfcC, OH and filter iirecemDCF ol j lyoi/, ay employer who has failed to file by the end of the month following any computation hereinafter rcicrred to are due and nave not been received, wnicricvcr ts later \tmiess THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2499 standard rate of , i percent rt ins account sftows so excess OT contn outions paid over oenetits charged over contributions paiur oucri rate snail remain ciicctivo ttntH tno eno of the calendar year rOf which such fate has been assigned. employer who hasj hy the ettd of the month following any computation date or by thirty after referred to are de a4 have not been received, whichever is- later, (unless the- time 54-632 1 Co.

Provided, also, the above provision shall apply regarding any delinquent reports required pursuant to Section 14(g) of this Act." Section 4. Said Act is further amended by striking the word "all" as it appears in the first line of the first sentence of the last paragraph of paragraph (6) of subsection (c) of Section 7 and inserting in lieu thereof the word "an", so that when so amended the first sentence of the last paragraph of paragraph (6) of subsection (c) of Section 7, with the exception of the tables which shall remain the same, shall read as follows: "If the total of aH an employer's contributions paid on or before the last day of the month immediately following the computation date with respect to wages paid by him on or before such computation date, is less than the total benefits which were charged to his account and paid on or before the computation date, his contribution rate for the ensuing calendar year shall be determined by dividing such deficit by his average annual payroll and applying the resulting percentage to the following rate table, which shall apply beginning with the computation date, June 30, 1978, and each computation date thereafter as shown:". Section 5. Said Act is further amended by striking from the first paragraph of subsection (b) of Section 7A the following: 2500 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, "which elects coverage pursuant to subsection (d) of section 8 of this Act,", and by striking the word "or" after the word "election" in the next-to-last line, so that when so amended the first paragraph of subsection (b) of Section 7A shall read as follows: "Reimbursement in lieu of contributions.

By: Representatives Richardson of the 52nd and Vaughn of the 57th: A BILL to amend an Act establishing the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia so as to provide for prior service for service rendered as an employee of a county under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations; and for other purposes. The following Senate substitute was read: A BILL To amend an Act establishing the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, approved February 3, 1949 (Ga. Laws 1949, p. 138), as amended, so as to provide for prior service for service rendered as an employee of a county under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations; to change the provisions relative to creditable service with respect to members who have previously withdrawn contributions; to provide for matters relative thereto; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. An Act establishing the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, approved February 3, 1949 (Ga. Laws 1949, p. 138), as amended, is hereby amended by striking from subsection (12) of Section 4 the following: "not more than three times", and by inserting following the words "shall be paid to the Employees' Retirement System" in the last sentence of subsection (12), the following: "by the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia", so that when so amended subsection (12) of Section 4 shall read as follows: "(12) Any current member having previously withdrawn his contributions net more than three times from the Employees' Retirement System and/or the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia, may, after two (2) years' active service as a contributing member, reestablish such creditable service as he would have been eligible for as a member of either system had he not withdrawn his contributions, upon his payment into the system a sum equal to the amount withdrawn from either system, plus regular interest at the rate of four and one-fourth percent (4 '/4 %) per annum from the date of his withdrawal to the date of repayment, and such interest shall be placed in the Pension Accumulation Fund. For any member having repaid into the Employees' Retirement System contributions previously withdrawn from the Teachers' Retirement System, a comparable employer contribution shall be paid to the Employees' Retirement System by the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia, plus accrued interest thereon, upon receipt of notice from the system." Section 2. Said Act is further amended by adding at the end of Section 4 a new subsection (20) to read as follows: "(20) Any person becoming a member of this retirement system at any time after January 1, 1980, but before July 1, 1981 as a result of being employed by a juvenile detention facility acquired by a department of State government from a county, who, immediately prior to becoming a member of this retirement system, was an employee of such county in a position covered by a retirement or pension system of such county, shall have the option, which must be exercised within six months after becoming a THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2505 member of this retirement system, of transferring his employer and employee contributions credited to him under the county retirement or pension system, for service as an employee of the juvenile detention facility, to this retirement system. Such option shall be exercised by notifying, in writing, the governing body of the county retirement or pension system and the Board of Trustees of this retirement system of his desire for such transfer of such employer and employee contributions. Within thirty days after receiving such notification, the governing body of the county retirement or pension system shall pay to the Board of Trustees of this retirement system an amount equal to such employer and employee contributions. Upon the receipt of such payment, the Board of Trustees shall deposit that portion thereof representing employee contributions into the annuity savings fund as a credit to the member, and said Board shall deposit that portion thereof representing employer contributions into the pension accumulation fund. Upon making such deposits to the annuity savings fund and the pension accumulation fund as aforesaid, such member shall receive as prior service under this Act credit for service rendered as an employee of the juvenile detention facility of the county, but the amount of prior service credited to such member shall be adjusted as necessary so that the accrued liability to this retirement system created by such prior service shall be fully funded by the amount of the payment received by the Board of Trustees as the employer and employee contributions under the county retirement or pension system. In the event the payment received by the Board of Trustees is insufficient to fund as prior service under this Act all service rendered as an employee of the juvenile detention facility of the county, the governing authority of the county which formerly employed such member shall be authorized, but not required, to pay to the Board of Trustees an amount which, when combined with the payment for employer and employee contributions as hereinabove provided, shall be sufficient to fund as prior service under this Act all service rendered as an employee of the juvenile detention facility. In the event a county governing authority elects to pay the additional amount provided for herein, said governing authority shall request, in writing, a certification from the Board of Trustees of such amount, and upon the payment thereof to the Board of Trustees, the member shall be credited with prior service under this Act for all service rendered as an employee of the juvenile detention facility of the county. The amount, if any, paid by a county governing authority as herein provided shall be deposited by the Board of Trustees into the pension accumulation fund." Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. Representative Richardson of the 52nd moved that the House agree to the Senate substitute to HB 50. On the motion, the roll call was ordered and the vote was as follows: Y Adams, G.

(2) Any ordinance designating any property as historic property shall describe each property to be designated, set forth the name or names of the owner or owners of the property, and require that a certificate of appropriateness be obtained from the historic preservation commission prior to any material change in appearance of the desig- nated property. (3) Any ordinance designating any district as a historic district shall include a description of the boundaries of such district, list each property located therein, set forth the name or names of the owner or owners of each such property, and require that a certificate of appropriateness be obtained from the historic preservation commission prior to any material change in appearance of any structure, site, or work of art located within the designated historic district. (b) No ordinance designating any property as a historic property, and no ordinance designating any district as a historic district, nor any amendments thereto, may be adopted by the local governing body, nor may any property be accepted or acquired as historic property by said local governing body, until the following procedural steps have been taken: 2510 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (1) The commission shall make or cause to be made an investigation and report on the historic, cultural, architectural, or aesthetic significance of each place, district, site, building, structure, or work of art proposed for designation or acquisition. This report will then be submitted to the Historic Preservation Section of the Department of Natural Resources or its successor which will be allowed 30 days to prepare written comments concerning said report. (2) The commission and the local governing body shall hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. Notice of the hearing shall be published at least three times in the principal newspaper of general circulation within the municipality or county in which the property or properties to be designated or acquired are located, and written notice of the hearing shall be mailed by the commission to all owners and occupants of such properties. All such notices shall be published or mailed not less than ten nor more than 20 days prior to the date set for the public hearing. (3) Following the public hearing, the local governing body may adopt the ordinance as prepared, adopt the ordinance with any amendments it deems necessary, or reject the proposal. (c) Within 30 days immediately following the adoption of the ordinance, the owners and occupants of each designated historic property and the owners and occupants of each structure, site, or work of art located within a designated historic district, shall be given written notification of such designation by the local governing body, which notice shall apprise said owners and occupants of the necessity for obtaining a certificate of appropriateness prior to undertaking any material change in the appearance of the historic property designated or within the historic district designated. Section 7. Certificate of appropriateness required, (a) After the designation by ordinance of a historic property or of a historic district, no material change in the appearance of such historic property or of a structure, site, or work of art within such historic district shall be made or be permitted to be made by the owner or occupant thereof unless and until application for a certificate of appropriateness has been submitted to and approved by the commission. Such application shall be accompanied by such drawings, photographs, or plans as may be required by the commission. (b) The Georgia Department of Transportation and contractors (including cities and counties) performing work funded by the Georgia Department of Transportation are exempt from the provisions of this Act and local governments are exempt from the requirement of obtaining certificates of appropriateness; however, local governments shall notify the commission 45 days prior to beginning an undertaking that would otherwise require a certificate of appropriateness and allow the commission an opportunity to comment. Section 8. Procedure for review of applications, (a) Prior to reviewing an application for a certificate of appropriateness, the commission shall take such action as may reasonably be required to inform the owners of any property likely to be affected materially by the application and shall give the applicant and such owners an opportunity to be heard. In cases where the commission deems it necessary, it may hold a public hearing concerning the application. (b) The commission shall approve the application and issue a certificate of appropriateness if it finds that the proposed material change in appearance would not have a substantial adverse effect on the aesthetic, historical, or architectural significance and value of the historic property or the historic district. In making this determination, the commission shall consider, in addition to any other pertinent factors, the historical and architectural value and significance, architectural style, general design, arrangement, texture, and material of the architectural features involved and the relationship thereof to the exterior architectural style and pertinent features of other structures in the immediate neighborhood. (c) In its review of applications for certificates of appropriateness, the commission shall not consider interior arrangement or use having no effect on exterior architectural features. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2511 (d) The commission shall approve or reject an application for a certificate of appropriateness within not more than 45 days after the filing thereof by the owner or occupant of a historic property or of a structure, site, or work of art located within a historic district. Evidence of approval shall be by certificate of appropriateness issued by the commission. Failure of the commission to act within said 45 days shall constitute approval, and no other evidence of approval shall be needed. (e) In the event the commission rejects an application, it shall state its reasons for doing so and shall transmit a record of such action and reasons therefor, in writing, to the applicant. The commission may suggest alternative courses of action it thinks proper if it disapproves of the application submitted. The applicant, if he or she so desires, may make modifications to the plans and may resubmit the application at any time after doing so. (f) In cases where the application covers a material change in the appearance of a structure which would require the issuance of a building permit, the rejection of an application for a certificate of appropriateness by the commission shall be binding upon the building inspector or other administrative officer charged with issuing building permits and, in such a case, no building permit shall be issued. (g) The commission may, where such action is authorized by the local governing body and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for the preservation of a unique historic property, enter into negotiations with the owner for the acquisition by gift, purchase, exchange, or otherwise of the property or any interest therein. (h) Where, by reason of unusual circumstances, the strict application of any provision of this Act would result in exceptional practical difficulty or undue hardship upon any owner of any specific property, the commission in passing upon applications shall have power to vary or modify strict adherence to said provisions or to interpret the meaning of said provision so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship; provided such variance, modification, or interpretation shall remain in harmony with the general purpose and intent of said provisions so that the architectural or historical integrity or character of the property shall be conserved and substantial justice done. In granting variations, the commission may impose such reasonable and additional stipulations and conditions as will, in its judgment, best fulfill the purpose of this Act. (i) The commission shall keep a record of all applications for certificates of appropriateness and of all its proceedings. (j) Any person adversely affected by any determination made by the commission relative to the issuance or denial of a certificate of appropriateness may appeal such determination to the governing body of the county or municipality in whose historic preservation jurisdiction the property in question is located; and such governing body may approve, modify and approve, or reject the determination made by the commission if the governing body finds that the commission abused its discretion in reaching its decision. The ordinances adopted in conformity with Section 6 of this Act shall specify the procedures for the review of decisions of the commission by the governing body of the county or municipality involved. Appeals from decisions of said governing body made pursuant to this Act may be taken to the superior court in the manner provided by law for appeals from conviction for municipal or county ordinance violations. Section 9. Certain changes not prohibited. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature in or on a historic property that does not involve a material change in design, material, or outer appearance thereof, nor to prevent any property owner from making any use of his property not prohibited by other statutes, ordinances, or regulations. Section 10. Penalties. Violations of any provisions of an ordinance adopted in conformity with this Act shall be punished in the same manner as provided by charter or local law for the punishment of violations of other validly enacted municipal or county ordinances. Section 11. Judicial remedy.

Mr. Speaker The following Bills of the House were taken up for the purpose of considering the Senate amendments and/or substitutes thereto: HB 1391. By: Representatives Parham of the 109th and Harris of the 8th: A BILL to provide 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 Senate 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. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2515 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 is primarily engaged in furnishing 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, 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 maintains 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 administration, 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 practice 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 portion 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 administration, 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 2516 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, 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 prescribed, prepared, and furnished by the department. The application shall contain such information as the department may require which is reasonably related to the department'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 prescribed by a physician. The department is authorized to issue, deny, suspend, or revoke licenses in accordance with regulations promulgated pursuant to this section. Such regulations 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; provided, however, that an agency shall be exempt from an additional on-site licensure inspection 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 misdemeanor, 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 Development 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 standards 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. Representative Parham of the 109th moved that the House disagree to the Senate substitute to HB 1391. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980 2517 The motion prevailed. HB 1209. By: Representative Elliott of the 49th: A BILL to amend an Act providing for the liability of corporate sureties for damages and attorney's fees arising out of bad faith refusal to remedy a default covered by, or otherwise commence performance in accordance with the terms of a contract of suretyship; and for other purposes. The following Senate substitute was read: A BILL To amend an Act providing for the liability of corporate sureties for damages and attorney's fees arising out of bad faith refusal to remedy a default covered by, or otherwise commence performance in accordance with the terms of a contract of suretyship, approved April 17, 1973, (Ga. L. 1973, p. 825), so as to include the refusal of a corporate surety to make payment to an obligee and so as to expand the term "obligee" to include any obligee or beneficiary pursuant to the terms of any contract of suretyship; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. An act providing for the liability of corporate sureties for damages and attorney's fees arising out of bad faith refusal to remedy a default covered by, or otherwise commence performance in accordance with the terms of a contract of suretyship, approved April 17, 1973, (Ga. L. 1973, p. 825), is hereby amended by inserting the words "to make payment to any obligee under," following the words "of a default covered by," in Section 1; by inserting the words "or demand for payment" following the words "notice of default" in Section 1; by adding at the end of Section 1 a new sentence to read as follows: "Provided, further, for the purposes of this act the term 'obligee' shall include any obligee or beneficiary pursuant to the terms of any contract of suretyship." so that when amended, Section 1 of said Act shall read as follows: "Section 1. In the event of the refusal of a corporate surety to commence the remedy of a default covered by, to make payment to an obligee under, or otherwise commence performance in accordance with, the terms of a contract of suretyship within 60 days after receipt from the obligee of a notice of default or demand for payment, and upon a finding that such refusal was in bad faith, the surety shall be liable to pay such obligee in addition to the loss not more than 25 percent of the liability of the surety for the loss and all reasonable attorney's fees for the prosecution of the case against the surety. The amount of such reasonable attorney's fees shall be determined by the trial jury and shall be included in any judgment rendered in such action: Provided, however, that such attorney's fees shall be fixed on the basis of competent expert evidence as to the reasonable value of such services, based on the time spent and legal and factual issues involved, in accordance with prevailing fees in the locality where such suit is pending: Provided, further, that the trial court shall have the discretion, if it finds such jury verdict fixing attorney's fees to be greatly excessive or inadequate, to review and amend such portion of the verdict fixing attorney's fees without the necessity of disapproving the entire verdict. The limitations contained in this section in reference to the amount of attorney's fees are not controlling as to the fees which may be agreed upon by the plaintiff and his attorney for the services of such attorney in the action against the surety. Provided, further, for the purposes of this act the term 'obligee' shall include any obligee or beneficiary pursuant to the terms of any contract of suretyship." Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. 2518 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Representative Elliott of the 49th moved that the House disagree to the Senate substitute to HB 1209.

The revenue bonds shall not be payable from, nor a charge upon, any funds of the city. Any bondholder shall have the right to compel the authority to levy the special tax herein provided for within the limit herein prescribed to pay the bonds and interest thereon; provided, however, that any resolution of the authority authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds or any trust agreement, trust indenture,or similar agreement approved by the authority may provide that no bondholder shall have any such right to compel levy of a tax, and, in that event, the authority may not and shall not levy any tax to pay the bonds which are the subject of any such resolution, trust agreement, trust indenture, or similar agreement or interest thereon. (i) The authority is hereby authorized to issue revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations from time to time to carry out the purposes of this paragraph. Revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations so issued shall be paid solely from the revenues pledged to the payment thereof, which revenues may include any funds derived from the special tax levy provided hereunder. Such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations shall be authorized by resolution of the governing body of the authority, which may be adopted at a regular or special meeting by a majority vote of the members of said governing body. The governing body of said authority in determining the cost of any project for which revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations are to be issued may include all costs relative to the issuance thereof and, without intending to limit such costs, may include architectural, engineering, inspection, fiscal agents', and legal expenses estimated to accrue from the date of any revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations through the period of construction and for six months after such construction; and such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, not exceeding 30 years from their respective dates, bear interest at such rate or rates, and may be in such denominations and may carry such registration privileges and be subject to redemption and may contain such terms, covenants, assignments, and conditions as the resolution authorizing the issuance of such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations may provide. Revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations and interest thereon so issued by said authority are hereby declared to be tax exempt for any and all purposes. The terms, conditions, covenants, and provisions contained in any such resolution authorizing the issuance of such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations shall bind said governing body then in office and its successors thereof, including any covenant to levy taxes within the limits herein prescribed for the purpose of providing such funds as may be necessary to pay the principal of and interest on any such issue or issues of revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations and to create and maintain a reserve for that purpose. Such bonds, but not notes or other obligations, issued by said authority shall be validated in the Superior Court of Cobb County in the same manner as revenue bonds of municipalities are validated as provided under the Revenue Bond Law (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 761), as amended. There shall be no limitation upon the amount of revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations which the authority may issue. The interest rate or rates on or to be borne by any revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations issued by the authority shall be determined by the members of the authority; and any limitations with respect to interest rates or any maximum interest rate or rates found in the Revenue Bond Law (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 761), as amended, the usury laws of the State of Georgia, or any other laws of the State of Georgia shall not apply to revenue bonds, 2558 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, notes, or other obligations of the authority issued pursuant to this paragraph. The members of the authority for purposes of the Revenue Bond Law shall constitute the 'governing body,' as that term is used herein. (j) For purposes of validation of revenue bonds as provided under the Revenue Bond Law (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 761), as amended, the authority shall be considered to be located in the City of Powder Springs, Cobb County, Georgia. (k) The authority may provide for the replacement of any bonds issued by it which shall be lost, mutilated, or destroyed. (1) In the discretion of the authority, any issue of bonds pursuant to this paragraph may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the authority and a trustee, which may be any trust company, any bank having the powers of a trust company within or outside the state, any national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, or an individual. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign fees, tolls, revenues, rents, receipts, earnings, or other funds to be received by the authority, including the proceeds derived from the sale from time to time of any surplus property of the authority, either real or personal. The resolution providing for the issuance of such bonds or the trust indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may prescribe the procedure by which bondholders may enforce their rights. Such resolution or trust indenture may also provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or architects satisfactory to the trustee or to the bondholders, and may also require that the security given by any contractors and by any depository of the proceeds of the bonds or revenues or other moneys be satisfactory to such trustee or bondholders, and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued pari passu with the revenue bonds initially issued pursuant to such resolution or trust indenture. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state or any national banking association organized under the laws of the United States to act as such depository and to furnish such security as may be required by the authority. All expenses incurred in connection with any such resolution or trust indenture may be treated as operating expenses of the authority. This subparagraph is illustrative and does not limit the types of instruments which may secure or provide for any issue of bonds or the terms and provisions which any resolution adopted by the authority or any instrument executed by the authority may contain. Any resolution adopted by the authority or any indenture of trust, trust agreement, or other instrument executed by the authority may contain such terms and provisions as the authority shall approve. Such approval of the authority shall be conclusively established by the execution of any such resolution, indenture of trust, trust agreement, or other instrument by the chairman or vice chairman of the authority and the attestation of such execution by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the authority. Nothing herein shall be construed to require, for any issue of revenue bonds, a trustee or a trust indenture, trust agreement, or similar instrument. (m) In addition to and not in limitation of other powers granted in this paragraph as to the issuance of revenue bonds and security for such bonds, the authority shall have the power to enter into any financial and contractual arrangements which it deems appropriate with users or owners of projects in order to provide security to bondholders; and for such purposes it may also enter into joint agreements, arrangements, or trust indentures with such users or owners and a trustee or trustees under any trust indenture in order that funds may be procured to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph. (n) While any of the revenue bonds issued by the authority remain outstanding, the powers, duties, or existence of the authority or of rts officers, employees, or agents shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will adversely affect the interest and rights of the holders of such bonds. (o) All revenue bonds of the authority issued under the provisions of this paragraph are declared to be issued for an essential public purpose and the said bonds and the income therefrom shall at all times be exempt from taxation within the state. (p) Any revenue bonds issued by the authority under the provisions of this paragraph are hereby made securities in which all public officers and bodies of this state and FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1980 2559 all municipalities and all municipal subdivisions, all insurance companies and associations and other persons carrying on an insurance business, all banks, bankers, trust companies, savings banks and savings associations, including savings and loan associations, building and loan associations, investment companies and other persons carrying on a banking business, all administrators, guardians, executors, trustees and other fiduciaries and all other persons whomsoever who are now or may hereafter be authorized to invest in bonds or other obligations of the state may properly and legally invest funds including capital in their control or belonging to them. The revenue bonds of the authority are also hereby made securities which may be deposited with and shall be received by all public officers and bodies of this state and all municipalities and municipal subdivisions for any purpose for which the deposit of the bonds or other obligations of this state is now or may hereafter be authorized. (q) The purpose of the authority is the redevelopment of the downtown Power Springs district, which includes but is not limited to renovation and rehabilitation of existing buildings, structures, and improvements and acquisition and construction of new buildings, structures, and improvements located in the downtown Powder Springs district, all for any commercial, business, office, public, or other use determined by a majority of the members of the authority to further the redevelopment of the downtown Powder Springs district. The purpose of the authority is hereby declared to be an essential and public purpose, promoting the public good and welfare and benefiting the citizens of the downtown Powder Springs district and the City of Powder Springs. This paragraph shall be liberally construed to effect its purpose. (r) It is hereby declared that all property of the authority held pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, and of any kind or nature, and any income or revenue therefrom, is held for an essential public purpose and all such property is deemed to be public property and tax exempt."

Section 2. Benefits: A. Normal Pension Benefits - All officers and employees of Fulton County who shall be participants under this plan, who shall retire as a matter of right from creditable ser vice, shall receive a monthly pension benefit hereinafter set forth and referred to as a "normal monthly pension benefit".

Years of creditable service shall include accumulated unused sick leave days credited to such employee or officer, not to exceed a total of ninety (90) working days or four and one-half (4-'/a) months maxi mum. The following classes of persons shall be entitled to a normal monthly pension bene fit upon their retirement from active service: (1) Individuals sixty (60) years of age or older with fifteen (15) years of creditable ser vice. (2) Individuals sixty-five (65) years of age or older with ten (10) years of creditable ser vice.

In computing the average monthly earn ings, if the officer or employee shall have received a lump sum payment for compensation, accumulated vacation, sick leave bonus pay, or similar benefits, the amount of such pay ment shall be equally distributed over the period of time in which such compensation or benefit was earned or accumulated. C. Early Retirement Benefits - All persons who shall participate under this plan may, as a matter of right, retire from active service and receive an early retirement benefit provided such person shall have served fifteen (15) years in the active service of such County.

E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no pension benefits payable to any person who shall retire under the provisions of this plan shall exceed seventy-five (75%) percent of average monthly earnings of such person as hereinabove defined. Section 3 Beneficiary Benefits : Pensions for beneficiaries designated by individuals participating under the terms of this plan, shall be three-quarters (%) of the amount the pensioner was receiving at the time of his death, or the amount which such individual would have received had he retired with a normal pension benefit at the time of his death, or the amount of the vested monthly pension benefit to which such person would have been entitled had he survived to age sixty-five (65). Such benefits shall be payable to the beneficiary designated under this act, commencing with the date of death of the participant under this plan. Provided, however, that if said beneficiary is more than five (5) years younger than the pensioner, there shall be deducted from the beneficiary pension one-twelfth of two percent (l/12th of 2'V) per month for each month that such beneficiary is more than five (5) years youn ger than the pensioner; Provided, however, that said deduction of l/12th of 2 percent per month shall not apply if the beneficiary is sixty (60) years, or more, of age at the time of becoming eligible for benefits.

Section 4 Cost of Living Adjustments : Any person coming under the provisions of this amendment, either voluntarily or by compulsion, shall be entitled to Cost-of-living adjustments as hereinafter set forth. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meaning: (1) "Current Average Cost-of-Living Index" - The average of the monthly Consumer Price Index for the 12 month period from November 1 through October 31, prior to the Annual Adjustment Date, as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for all items and major groups, United States city average. (2) "Pensioner Base Index" - The average of the Consumer Price Index for the 12 month period ending two months prior to the date of retirement for any participant who retires under the provisions of this amendment. In the event the base year used in computing the monthly Consumer Price Index should be changed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Board of Trustees shall, with the advice of an independent actuary, adjust the Pensioner Base Index of each retired Pensioner and of each Pensioner or Beneficiary, with benefit payments commencing during the first year in which such change was made, so as to effect the original intent of this section in an equitable manner. (3) "Adjusted Pensioner Index" - The Pensioner Base Index, adjusted, on a cumula tive basis, for all percentage adjustments made in benefits prior to the current Annual Adjustment date. The adjusted Pensioner Index and the Pensioner Base Index shall be applicable to any Beneficiary becoming entitled to benefits under this amendment in the same manner as they would have been applicable to the Pensioner had such Pensioner continued in life. (4) "Annual Adjustment Date" - January 1 of each year. The Board of Trustees shall ascertain the Current Average Cost-of-Living Index as of January 1 each year, and the benefits being paid under this amendment shall be adjusted as of the Annual Adjustment Date as follows: If the Current Average Cost-of-Living Index is more than 100% of the Adjusted Pen sioner Index, the benefit shall be increased by a percentage equal to the difference between 100 '', and the percentage representing the Current Average Cost-of-Living Index divided by such person's Adjusted Pensioner Index.

If the Current Average Cost-of-Living Index is less than 100% of the Adjusted Pen sioner Index, such person's basic benefit shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the difference between 100 'V and the percentage representing the Current Average Cost-ofLiving Index divided by his Adjusted Pensioner Index. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, no increase or decrease in the amount of the monthly retirement benefit due to changes in the Current Average Costof-Living Index, effective at any Annual Adjustment Date, shall be in excess of 3 r< of the amount of the monthly retirement benefit payable immediately prior to such date. Neither shall the provisions of this subsection be applied so as to reduce the amount of the bene fits of a Pensioner or Beneficiary to an amount less than that to which such pensioner or beneficiary would be entitled to receive under the other provisions of this amendment. Section 5 Contributions : There shall be deducted from the total salary of any officer or employee electing to come under the provisions of this plan, the sum of seven (7 r < ) percent in the event such person does not provide for payment of a pension to such person's beneficiary as provided by this Act, as amended, or the sum of eight (8 r< ) percent in the event such person does provide for the continuation of a pension to such person's beneficiary. Such deductions shall be effective July 1, 1980, or the initial date of employment of the participant under this plan. In addition thereto, such person shall pay all amounts which he would have been required to pay to participate in this act as it existed prior to July 1, 1980. Section 6 Employer Contributions : In addition to the funds derived from deductions from salaries and wages, as required by Section 5 of this amendment, it shall be the duty of the governing authority of Fulton County to appropriate and pay into the Pension Fund each year an amount which shall be equal to the actuarially determined percentage of members' salary and wages necessary to pay the normal cost contribution of benefits earned by members and to amortize the unfunded accrued liability of the pension fund within forty (40) years commencing Janu ary 1, 1981, after deducting contributions required of officers and employees. For the purposes of paying the required employer contributions provided above, the governing authority of Fulton County shall be authorized to levy ad valorem taxes payable to the pension fund sufficient to amortize the unfunded accrued liability under the provi sions of this amendment within forty (40) years commencing January 1, 1981. Should said Pension Fund at any time be insufficient to meet and pay the pension due to such officers and employees, the governing authority of Fulton County shall appro priate from current funds amounts sufficient to make up the deficiency as it relates to the respective officers and employees, and deposit same into said Pension Fund. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, commencing January 1, 1981, the required employer contri bution shall be ten (10'V) percent of the total salaries and wages of members of this Pen sion Fund. Commencing on January 1, 1981, and each January 1st thereafter, the required employer contribution shall be increased by one (l"o) percent of total salary and wages of members of this Pension Fund until such increase of one percent would exceed the actuarially determined contribution rate provided above and at such time, and thereafter, the required employer contribution rate shall be the actuarially determined employer con tribution rate. Section 7. Preservation of Prior Rights : The pension benefits provided by this Plan and the several sub-sections thereof, shall be in lieu of like pension benefits provided by existing provisions of this Act. Where no express provision is made by this Plan for benefits and obligations the provisions of the Act approved March 3, 1939, (Ga. Laws 1939, page 571), as amended, shall continue in effect. 2750 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Section 2. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1980, and shall apply to all persons who shall become employed by Fulton County on or after such date.

Laws 1971, p. 2309), as amended; provided, however, that no person shall receive more than ten (10) years prior service credit for service rendered to any employer other than Fulton County , and shall not be entitled to receive more than one pension for the same period of service. In the event that such election is filed subsequent to July 1, 1980, such person shall pay to the Fulton County General Employees Pension Fund all sums which would have been paid had such election been effective July 1, 1980, plus interest at the rate of eight (8' ( ) percent per annum from the date such monies would have been paid to the date they are actually paid.

The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered forms, or both, as the Authority may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both prin cipal and interest. 8.

In case any officer whose signature shall appear oh any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.

For the purposes of this Section Nineteen, the owners of that portion of the Property and the Adjoining Property upon which any such Special Improvement is located shall be deemed to have mutually agreed to remove or demolish any such Special Improvement, if, through the passage of time or otherwise, the structural soundness thereof deteriorates such that any such Special Improvement, including that portion of any such Special Improvement located on the Property, becomes untenantable and its continued existence constitutes a nuisance and a hazard to the public health and safety. Such non-exclusive easements shall be subject and subordinate to the rights, if any, of any persons or entities which were vested prior to the commencement of the rights of the respective lessees under the various leases which are amended by this Amended Lease.

The court, upon such reference, shall direct the supervisor to make an investigation and report to the court in writing at a specified time upon the circumstances of the offense and the criminal record, social history and present condition of the defendant, together with such supervisor's recommendation, and it shall be the duty of the supervisor to carry out the directive of the court. (c} If it appears to court upon a hearing of the matter that the defendant is not likely to engage in a criminal course of conduct and that the ends of justice and the welfare of society do not require that the defendant shall presently suffer the penalty imposed by law, the court in its discretion shall impose sentence upon such defendant but may stay and suspend the execution of such sentence or any portion thereof, and or may place him upon probation under the supervision and control of the circuit proba tion supervisor for the duration of such probation.

(e) The court may, in its discretion, require the payment of a fine or costs or both as a condition precedent to probation. (f) During the interval between the conviction or plea and the hearing to determine the question of probation, the court may, in its discretion, either order the confinement of the defendant without bond or may permit his release on bond, which shall be condi tioned on his appearance at the hearing and which shall be subject to the same rules as govern appearance bonds. Any time served in confinement shall be considered a part of the sentence of the defendant.

(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 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 TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1980 2855 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 tpurpose of contradict ing or impeaching the testimony of the deponent as a witness. If only a part of a deposi tion 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. (h) Any party shall have the right to require that the deposition be recorded and preserved by the use of audio-visual equipment." Section 2.

It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this State or any other State or the United States to act as such depositary and to furnish such indem nifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the Authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the Authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation and repair of the project affected by such indenture. 16. To Whom Proceeds Shall be Paid. The Authority shall, in the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of bonds to any officer or person who, or any agency, bank or trust company which, shall act as trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes hereof, subject to such regulations as such resolutions or trust indentures may provide. 17.

The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issu ance of the revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be maintained as a trust account for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds, or in the trust indenture, any surplus monies in the sinking fund may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be cancelled and shall not again be issued. 18. Remedies of Bondholders. Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the provi sions of this Act or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, and the trustee under the trust indenture, if any, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by resolution passed before the issuance of the bonds or by the trust indenture, may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or granted hereunder or under such resolution or trust indenture, and may enforce and compel performance of all duties required by this Act or by such resolution or trust indenture, to be per formed by the Authority, or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging, and col lecting of revenues, fees, tolls, and other charges for the use of the facilities and services furnished. 19.

Venue and Jurisdiction. Any action to protect or enforce any rights under the provisions of this Act or any suit or action against such Authority shall be brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, and any action pertaining to the valida tion of any bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall likewise be brought in said court which shall have exclusive, original jurisdiction of such actions. 21. Validation. Bonds of the Authority shall be confirmed and validated in accordance with the procedure of the Revenue Bond Law, as amended, or as some may be hereafter amended.

If during the period between the expiration and reviver, the name of the corporation has been assumed, reserved or registered by any other person or corporation, the reviver shall not be authorized unless such articles of amendment extending the period of duration include an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its name to a corporate name that is available in accordance with Section 22-301.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1980 2947 The following Senate substitute was read: A BILL To amend an Act to create the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia as an institu tion of purely public charity performing an essential governmental function, approved March 18, 1975 (Ga. Laws 1975, p. 107), as amended, so as to eliminate the exemption from ad valorem taxes enjoyed with respect to certain property owned by the Authority; to provide legislative intent; to provide for editorial revision; 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. An Act to create the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia as an insti tution of purely public charity performing an essential governmental function, approved March 18, 1975 (Ga. Laws 1975, p. 107), as amended, is hereby amended by striking Section 6 thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 6 to read as follows: "Section 6. Public Property; Payments in lieu of taxes, (a) It is hereby found, deter mined and declared that the creation of the Authority and the carrying out of its corpo rate purposes are in all respects for the benefit of the people of this state and that the Authority is an institution of purely public charity performing an essential governmental function. (b) (1) The property of the Authority is hereby declared and shall in all respects be considered to be public property. Title to the Authority's property shall be held by the Authority only for the benefit of the public and the use of such property pur suant to the terms of this Act shall be and is hereby declared to be for essential public and governmental purposes, that is, for the promotion of public general welfare in the matter of providing an adequate, dependable, and economic electric power supply in an effort to better the general condition of society residing in the State of Georgia, which promotion is hereby declared to be a public beneficence for the good of humanity and for the general improvement and happiness of society. (2) (A) It is recognized, however, that removal from local tax digests of the value of all property owned by the Authority might impose an unfair burden upon many taxpayers whose property is taxable. In the interest of weighing these benefits and concerns and arriving at an equitable policy regarding treatment of Authority prop erty, the General Assembly hereby finds and declares that equity requires that the exemption presently applicable to the Authority's property should remain in effect. However, the General Assembly also finds and declares that in the future the Authority should rightfully make payments in lieu of taxes so that the Authority may fulfill its good and public purposes without incidental harm to the State's local governments. (B) With respect to tangible property owned by the Authority and included in its Project One and Project Two as those projects are now or hereafter constituted under the Authority's Power Revenue Bond Resolution and General Power Revenue Bond Resolution, and Supplemental Resolutions thereto, the Authority shall begin making payments in lieu of taxes in such manner and amounts as hereinafter pro vided in the earlier of the first year after all of the Bonds issued by the Authority to finance each such respective project have been fully redeemed, or in the year 2020. (C) With respect to tangible property hereafter acquired or constructed by the Authority and not included in its Project One or Project Two, the Authority shall begin making payments in lieu of taxes in such manner and amounts as hereinafter provided, in the year 1981 or such later year as the Authority first acquires or con structs such property. (D) In each year in which the Authority is hereby required to make payments in lieu of taxes, it shall file a return within the same time and in the same form 2948 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, and manner as public utilities. The taxing authorities shall assess the tangible prop erty of the Authority which is hereby made subject to payments in lieu of taxes in accordance with the law and procedures applicable to public utilities, and shall apply to such assessments in each year in which any such payments are due the appropriate millage levies of the State and political subdivisions in which such prop erty is located in order to arrive at the amounts of the respective payments in lieu of taxes. The Authority shall be notified of the amounts of the payments in lieu of taxes due, and shall pay such amounts to the State and respective political subdivi sions within the time in which payments of taxes by public utilities are allowed or required. (c) Except as specifically provided herein for payments in lieu of taxes, all of the property of and income, obligations, and interest on the bonds and notes of the Author ity and the transfer thereof shall be and hereby are declared to be nontaxable for any and all purposes by the State or any of its political subdivisions." Section 2. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. Representative Greene of the 138th moved that the House disagree to the Senate sub stitute to HB 109. The motion prevailed.

The following Committee substitute was read: A BILL To amend Code Title 51, relating to homesteads and exemptions, as amended, so as to provide for additional exemptions; to provide for exemptions to be used for the pur poses of bankruptcy and in actions involving bankruptcy; to provide for legislative intent and construction; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other pur poses. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. The General Assembly finds that the federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 which was enacted after 8 years of study and debate and which was the first substan tial reform of the bankruptcy laws in 40 years has significant ramifications for Georgia debtors and creditors. The General Assembly finds that of particular importance to debt ors and creditors is the option authorized by that Act for states to elect between allowing Georgia debtors to claim the property exemptions authorized by the federal law and state law exemptions. In order to protect both the rights of creditors and debtors in making this election, the General Assembly finds that it is necessary to enact this Act to provide temporarily reasonable property exemptions for bankruptcy purposes until a thorough study of the impact of the election of either option can be studied by the General Assem bly and appropriate legislation enacted. Section 2. Code Title 51, relating to homesteads and exemptions, as amended, is hereby amended by adding following Code Section 51-1301 a new Code section to be desig nated Code Section 51-1301.1 to read as follows: "51-1301.1.

Section 4. Code Sections 51-1301.1 and 51-1601, added by this Act, and this Act shall stand repealed in their entirety effective July 1, 1981. Section 5. In the event any part of this Act is declared or adjudged invalid or uncon stitutional, such adjudication shall render the entire Act unconstitutional. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would not have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that a part or parts would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitu tional.

Such regulations shall include, but not be limited to, consid eration of the ratio of a local system's need to the total State needs as computed in sub section (f). During any fiscal year, a local unit of administration shall not receive any State assistance for capital facilities improvements unless it has dedicated for capital facilities improvements an amount of funds which has been determined by the State Board of Education to reflect the local unit's annual entitlement and its financial ability to participate annually in the facilities improvement program authorized under this Section and which will be derived from sources other than State and federal grants. Each local unit shall expend funds from its State entitlement upon projects approved in the most recent comprehensive facilities survey and only on projects in the order of priority that has been submitted to and approved by the State Board. The State Board is authorized to enter into contracts with local units of administration for allotment and for utilization of State capital facilities funds.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: Section 1. Code Title 88, relating to public health, is hereby amended by adding a new section at the end of Code Chapter 88-18, relating to hospital authorities, to be desig nated Code Section 88-1825, to read as follows: "88-1825. Authorities providing medical education, (a) The General Assembly finds that major hospital authorities in this state provide a valuable service benefiting the entire state by operating teaching hospitals which provide necessary medical education and training for physicians. This service to the state is provided through residency pro grams offered by these teaching hospitals. Through residency programs operated by state teaching hospitals, the state has recognized its responsibility to fund the cost of training physicians, and it is the purpose of this section to recognize that the state has a similar responsibility when the medical education and training are provided by teach ing hospitals operated by hospital authorities. (b) As used in this section, 'hospital authority* means a hospital authority operating a teaching hospital which offers a residency program approved by the American Medical Association. As used in this section, 'resident' means a physician receiving medical edu cation and training through a teaching hospital operated by a hospital authority. (c) For each resident receiving medical education and training through a teaching hospital operated by a hospital authority, the Board of Regents shall pay $10,000.00 per annum to the hospital authority. Such payments shall be made based upon certifications of the hospital authorities to the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents is hereby authorized to designate the Joint Advisory Board of Family Practice to promulgate rules and regulations specifying procedures for making the certifications provided for herein and to establish a procedure for making payments to hospital authorities as provided herein. (d) The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this section shall come from funds appropriated for such purpose to the Board of Regents. In the event the funds appropriated by the General Assembly are insufficient to fund the full amount payable to hospital authorities under subsection (c) of this section, the amount otherwise payable under said subsection shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with the funds actually appropriated for such purpose. (e) The provisions of this Code section shall not be construed to amend, modify, supersede, or repeal the provisions of an Act creating a joint advisory board of family practice, approved March 31, 1976 (Ga. Laws 1976, p. 1096), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended." Section 2. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new section at the end of Code Chapter 88-19, relating to regulations of hospitals and related institutions, to be designated Code Section 88-1913, to read as follows: "88-1913. Reports by physicians and other personnel; immunity from liability, (a) Any physician, including any doctor of medicine licensed to practice under the laws of this state, licensed registered nurse employed by a medical facility, security personnel employed by a medical facility, or other personnel employed by a medical facility whose employment duties involve the care and treatment of patients therein having cause to believe that a patient has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him other than by accidental means shall report or cause reports to be made in accordance with the provisions of this section. THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1980 3033 (b) An oral report shall be made immediately by telephone or otherwise and followed by a report in writing, if requested, to the person in charge of the medical facility or his designated delegate. Said person in charge or his designated delegate shall in turn notify the appropriate police authority of the same. Such reports shall contain the name arid address of the patient, the nature and extent of the patient's injuries, and any other information that the reporting person believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of the injuries and the identity of the perpetrator. (c) Any person or persons participating in the making of said report or causing said report to be made to the appropriate police authority pursuant to the provisions of this section or participating in any judicial proceeding or any other proceeding resulting therefrom shall in so doing be immune from any civil liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed, providing such participation pursuant to this section shall be made in good faith. (d) Unless a different meaning is required by the context, the term 'medical facility' as used in this section shall mean any licensed general or specialized hospital, institu tional infirmary, public health center, or diagnostic and treatment center." Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval, except that Section 1 of this Act shall become effective July 1, 1980. Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed. The following amendment was read: Representatives Coleman of the 118th moves to amend the floor substitute to SB 541 by adding on page 3 after the period on line 3 the words: "The local government or governments responsible for the governance of and for the financial support of the hospital authority or authorities shall provide a certified audit to the Board of Regents within 90 days after this Act becomes law which shows clearly the exact amount of local funds contributed to the authority during the most recent full fiscal year of operation of said authority or authorities. No funds provided for in this Act shall be distributed to any hospital or hospital authority if the local government's contribution in any year hereafter falls below the previous year's contri bution as shown in the certified audit. The Board of Regents shall have the authority to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this Section.

Laws 1978, pp. 4527, 4534); provided, however, the penalty provision of said subsection (I) shall be applicable only to such officers or employees who failed to elect enrollment under said 1978 Pension Act Amendment prior to Octo ber 1, 1978, and who terminated employment subsequent to April 1, 1978. The total amount of such required contributions shall be increased by a sum equal to the amount previously paid into the pension fund by a regular officer or employee and withdrawn upon termination of employment multiplied by an interest factor of seven percent (7%) per annum compounded from the date of termination to the date of filing of the application. The total amount of such required contributions, less a sum equal to the amount previously paid into the pension fund by a regular officer or employee and withdrawn upon termination of employment, shall be increased by an amount equal to such required contributions, less the said amount withdrawn multi plied by an interest factor of seven percent (7%) per annum compounded from the date of termination or October 1, 1978, whichever is later to the date of application. The total amount of such required contribution shall be decreased by the amount previously paid into the pension fund by a regular officer or employee and not with drawn upon termination of employment plus an amount equal to seven percent (7%) per annum compounded of such amount not withdrawn from the date of termination to the date of filing of the application. As to credit for part-time or temporary service with the city, such previous service credit shall be on the basis of one day for each day worked by such person as a temporary employee or on a part-time basis, except that the required contribution shall be based upon the gross salary of such person at the time of filing of the application for previous service credit. The payment of the contributions of previous service credit for previous employment as a regular, tempo rary, or part-time employee of the city may be paid upon the filing of the application for such credit or such officer or employee shall have a period of sixty (60) months from the date of filing the application in which to pay such contributions, provided, however, the total amount of such contribution shall bear interest at seven percent (7"(>) per annum on the unpaid balance. The Board of Trustees is authorized to establish rules and regulations for extending the period in which back pension contributions may be paid provided that interest in the amount of seven percent (7%) per annum shall be added to any amounts not paid within the above specified period. The Board of Trustees shall require as a prerequi site for the granting of such extension an assignment of life insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation." Section 3.

Section 2. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new subsection at the end of Code Section 91A-217, relating to the State Board of Equalization, to be designated subsection (e), to read as follows: "(e) The provisions of this Code section shall not apply with respect to appeals which are within the jurisdiction of the Ad Valorem Assessment Review Commission." Section 3. Said Code title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 91A-1413, relating to examination of county tax digests, which reads as follows: "91A-1413. Commissioner to examine county tax digests and ascertain whether prop erty valuation is uniform between counties; adjustment of values, (a) It shall be the duty of the Commissioner to carefully examine the tax digests of the several counties filed in his office pursuant to the provisions of Section 91A-1444 and to compare the digests for the purpose of ascertaining whether the valuation of the various classes of property as made in the respective counties for taxation purposes is reasonably uniform both as between the various counties and as between the various classes within a county and also to ascertain compliance with Article VII, Section I, Paragraph III of the State Con stitution. (b) If it appears to the Commissioner that in any one or more of the counties the taxable values fixed upon any one or more classes of property are not reasonably uni form with the values fixed upon the same classes of property in other counties or that within a county the taxable values of one or more of the classes of property have been fixed so that the per centum of taxable value does not conform to such values of other classes of property within the county, the Commissioner shall investigate and inquire as to the reason for the lack of uniformity or conformity and, after making the investiga tion and comparison, shall have authority to adjust and equalize the digest. The Com missioner's adjustment and equalization shall be based upon his reasonable determination as to what is just and right between the counties and within a county and may be made by adding a fixed per centum to the county valuation of any class of prop erty in any county, if he finds the county valuation too low, or by deducting a fixed per centum from the county valuation, if he finds the county valuation too high. The Com missioner, if he deems appropriate, may return the digest to the county board of tax assessors to make adjustments in the valuation of any class or classes of property in the tax digest of any county as may be prescribed by the Commissioner to achieve the pur pose and intent of this subchapter. When such adjustments to the county valuations are made, the Commissioner shall adjust the county millage levy, if necessary, so as to ensure that the adjusted county digest will produce an amount of revenue reasonably equivalent to that amount of revenue which would have been produced had no adjust ments been made to the county valuations. In no case may the Commissioner reduce the millage levy of a county below the rate required by the county to meet its fixed obli gations. After making the adjustments authorized in this Section, the Commissioner shall notify the county board of tax assessors and the governing authority of the county affected, by United States mail, of the adjustments necessary. After such notice, the Commissioner shall return the tax digest to the county for correction according to his adjustments. (c) It shall be the further duty of the Commissioner to examine the itemizations of exempt properties appearing on the digest and, if in the judgment of the Commissioner any properties appearing on the digest are subject to taxation, to so advise the board of tax assessors of the counties concerned with an explanation of his reasons for believ ing the property is subject to taxation." Section 4. Said Code title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 91A-1414, relating to required adjustments to county tax digests, which reads as follows: "91A-1414. County tax assessors and governing authority of county to effect adjust ments to county digest and county millage levy. Upon receipt of the notice from the Commissioner required by Section 91A-1413(b), the county board of tax assessors and THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1980 3197 the governing authority of the county shall take such action as is required to effect the adjustments made by the Commissioner to the county digest and county millage levy." Section 5. The state revenue commissioner shall provide as soon as practicable after the effective date of this section for the adoption of rules and regulations necessary for the purposes of this Act and particularly Code Sections 91A-1472 and 91A-1476 as created by this Act. Such rules and regulations may be changed or amended from time to time but shall include provisions for opportunities for informing local tax officials as to the requirements of the Act and of the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this Act. Section 6. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. Section 7. This Act shall become effective January 1, 1981, and shall apply to all county tax digests submitted for tax year 1981 and all years thereafter, except that Section 5 of this Act shall become effective upon the approval of this Act by the Governor or upon its otherwise becoming a law without his approval. Section 8. Section 5 of this Act is hereby repealed effective January 1, 1981. Section 9. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The taxes and interest deferred pursuant to this Chapter shall constitute a prior lien and shall attach as of the date and in the same manner and be collected as other liens for taxes, as provided for under this Title, but such deferred taxes shall only be due, payable, and delinquent as provided in this Chapter. 91A-2407. Homestead tax deferral; application; oath, (a) The application for deferral shall be made upon a form prescribed by the Department and furnished by the county tax collector or tax commissioner.

Each application shall clearly state that all deferrals pursuant to this Chapter shall constitute a lien on the applicant's homestead. (b) A form of oath shall be provided and shall be administered to the person seeking the deferral. The oath may be administered by the tax receiver, tax commissioner, any authorized deputy of the tax receiver or tax commissioner, or any person authorized by law to administer oaths. (c) (1) The tax collector or tax commissioner shall consider each annual application for homestead tax deferral within 30 days of the day the application is filed or as soon as practicable thereafter. If the tax collector or tax commissioner finds that the appli cant is entitled to the tax deferral, he shall approve the application and file the appli cation in the permanent records. If the tax collector or tax commissioner finds the applicant is not entitled to the deferral, he shall send a notice of disapproval within 30 days of the filing of the application, giving his reasons therefor to the applicant, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1980 3265 either by personal delivery or by registered mail to the mailing address given by the applicant, and shall make return in the manner in which such notice was served upon the applicant upon the original notice thereof and file among the permanent records of his office.

(2) Appeals of the decision of the tax collector or tax commissioner to the board of tax assessors shall be in writing on a form prescribed by the Department and fur nished by the tax collector or tax commissioner. Such appeal shall be filed with the board within 20 days after the applicant's receipt of the notice of disapproval. The board shall review the application and evidence presented to the tax collector or tax commissioner upon which the applicant based his claim for tax deferral and, at the election of the applicant, shall hear the applicant in person, or by agent on his behalf, on his right to homestead tax deferral. The board of tax assessors shall reverse the decision of the tax collector or tax commissioner and grant homestead tax deferral to the applicant, if in its judgment the applicant is entitled thereto, or affirm the deci sion of the tax collector or tax commissioner. Such action of the board of tax assessors shall be final unless the applicant, tax collector, tax commissioner, or other lienholder, within 15 days from the date of disapproval of the application by the board, files an appeal with the county board of equalization. (d) Each application shall contain a list of, and the current value of, all outstanding liens on the applicant's homestead.

On or before November 1 of each year, the tax collector or tax commissioner shall notify each property owner'to whom a tax deferral has been previously granted of the accumulated sum of deferred taxes and interest outstanding. 91A-2409. Change in ownership or use of property, (a) In the event that there is a change in use of tax-deferred property such that the owner is no longer entitled to claim homestead exemption for such property pursuant to Section 91A-1110, or such person fails to maintain the required fire and extended insurance coverage, the total amount of deferred taxes and interest for all previous years shall be due and payable November 1 of the year in which the change in use occurs or on the date failure to maintain insur ance occurs and shall be delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year in which the change in use or failure to maintain insurance occurs. (b) In the event that there is a change in ownership of tax-deferred property, the total amount of deferred taxes and interest for all previous years shall be due and pay able on the date the change in ownership takes place and shall be delinquent on April 1 following that date. When, however, the change in ownership is to a surviving spouse and such spouse is eligible to claim homestead exemption on such property pursuant to Section 91A-1110, such surviving spouse may continue the deferment of previously deferred taxes and interest pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter. (c) During any year in which the total amount of deferred taxes, interest, and all other unsatisfied liens on the homestead exceeds 85 percent of the fair market value of the homestead, the tax collector or tax commissioner shall immediately notify the owner of the property on which taxes and interest have been deferred that the portion of taxes and interest which exceeds 85 percent of the value of the homestead shall be due and payable within 30 days of receipt of the notice. Failure to pay the amount due shall cause the total amount of deferred taxes and interest to become delinquent. (d) Each year, upon notification, each owner of property on which taxes and interest have been deferred shall submit to the tax collector or tax commissioner a list of, and 3266 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, the current value of, all outstanding liens on the owner's homestead. Failure to respond to this notification within 30 days shall cause the total amount of deferred taxes and interest to become payable within 30 days. ~91A-2410. Prepayment of deferred taxes, (a) All or part of the deferred taxes and accrued interest may at any time be paid to the tax collector or tax commissioner by: (1) The owner of the property or the spouse of the owner. (2) The next of kin of the owner, heir of the owner, child of the owner, or any person having or claiming a legal or equitable interest in the property, provided no objection is made by the owner within 30 days after the tax collector or tax commis sioner notifies the owner of the fact that such payment has been tendered. (b) Any partial payment made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to accrued interest. 91A-2411. Distribution of payments. When any deferred taxes or interest is collected, the tax collector or tax commissioner shall maintain a record of the payment, setting forth a description of the property and the amount of taxes or interest collected for such property. The tax collector or tax commissioner shall distribute payments received to the local taxing jurisdictions to whom the taxes and interest are owed. 91A-2412. Prohibition on clauses preventing application for deferral; clauses void. Except with respect to requirements dictated by federal law, rule, or regulation, no mortgage, deed to secure debt, or other agreement may contain a provision, clause, or statement which prohibits the owner from claiming a real property tax deferral on his homestead. Any such provision, clause, or statement executed on and after the effective date of this Section is void and is not enforceable. 91A-2413. Construction. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prevent the collection of personal property taxes which become a lien against tax-deferred property. 91A-2414. Penalties, (a) The following penalties shall be imposed on any person who willfully files information required under Sections 91A-2403 and 91A-2409 which is incorrect: (1) Such person shall pay the total amount of taxes and interest deferred, which amount shall immediately become due; (2) Such person shall be disqualified from filing a homestead tax deferral applica tion for the next three years; and (3) Such person shall pay a penalty of 25 percent of the total amount of taxes and interest deferred. (b) Any person against whom the penalties prescribed in this Section have been imposed may appeal the penalties imposed to the county board of tax assessors within 30 days after the penalties are imposed. 91A-2415. Payment by holder of deed to secure debt. If any holder of a deed to secure debt or mortgagee shall elect to pay the taxes when an applicant qualifies for tax deferral, then such election shall not give the holder of the deed or mortgagee the right to foreclose." Section 2. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its otherwise becoming a law without his approval and shall apply to all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1981. Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the Authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation and repair of the project affected by such indenture. 16.

Remedies of Bondholders. Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the provi sions of this Act or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, and the trustee under the trust indenture, if any, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by a 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 by this Act or by such resolution or trust indenture, to be per formed by the Authority, or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging, and col lecting of revenues, fees, tolls, and other charges for the use of the facilities and services furnished. 19.

Laws 1972, p. 604), is hereby amended by striking Section 8 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 8 to read as follows: "Section 8. (a) Any court of this State which has original jurisdiction of criminal actions, except juvenile courts, municipal courts and probate courts where the defendant in a criminal case has been found guilty upon verdict or plea, or who has been sentenced upon a plea of nolo contendere, except for an offense punishable by death or life impris onment, may, at a time to be determined by the court, hear and determine the question of the probation of such defendant. (b) Prior to such hearing, the court may refer the case to the circuit probation super visor of the circuit in which such court is located for investigation and recommendation. The court, upon such reference, shall direct the supervisor to make an investigation and report to the court in writing at a specified time upon the circumstances of the offense and the criminal record, social history and present condition of the defendant, together with such supervisor's recommendation, and it shall be the duty of the supervisor to carry out the directive of the court. (c) If it appears to court upon a hearing of the matter that the defendant is not likely to engage in a criminal course of conduct and that the ends of justice and the welfare of society do not require that the defendant shall presently suffer the penalty imposed by law, the court in its discretion shall impose sentence upon such defendant but may stay and suspend the execution of such sentence or any portion thereof, ottd or may place him upon probation under the supervision and control of the circuit proba tion supervisor for the duration of such probation. The period of probation or suspen sion shall not exceed the maximum sentence of confinement which could be imposed upon such defendant; except as provided in subsection (d). (d) (1) except that m In a prosecution for and conviction of the offense of abandon ment, the trial court may suspend the service of the sentence imposed in the case upon such terms and conditions as it may prescribe for the support by the defendant of the child or children abandoned, respectively, during the minority of such child or children, respectively, and service of such sentence when so suspended shall not begin unless and until ordered by the court having jurisdiction thereof, after a hearing as SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3429 in cases of revocation of probated sentences, because of the failure or refusal of the defendant to comply with the terms and conditions upon which service of such sen tences was suspendedt. and in a prosecution fef and conviction ef the offcnac ef- baa- and conditions as may be prescribed by the court for the support by the defendant Or the cnilu of children, respectively, upon wnicn sucn conviction find sentence wss based, until said child er children, respectively, reach the age ef 14 ycara. (2) Service of any sentence so suspended in abandonment cases may be ordered by the court having jurisdiction thereof at any time before such child or children, respec tively, reach the age of 21 ycara, and in bastardy eases at any time before such child or children, respectively, reach the age ef-14 ycara majority, after a hearing as herein before provided and a finding by such court that the defendant has failed or refused to comply with the terms and conditions upon which service of such sentence was sus pended by the court having jurisdiction thereof. (3) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, in abandonment cases where the suspension of sentence has been revoked and the defendant is serving the sentence, the court may thereafter again suspend the service of sentence under the same terms and conditions as the original suspension. The sentence shall not be considered pro bated and the defendant shall not be on probation, but such defendant shall again be under a suspended sentence. However, the combined time of incarceration of the defendant during periods of revocation of suspended sentences shall not exceed the maximum period of punishment for the offense. (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the terms and con ditions prescribed by the court as to support by the defendant shall be subject to review and modification by the court upon notice and hearing to the defendant as to_ the ability of the defendant to furnish support and as to the adequacy of the present support payments to the child's or children's needs. The aforementioned review as to the ability of the defendant to furnish support and as to the adequacy of the present support payments to the child's or children's needs shall not be had in. less than twoyear intervals and shal] authorize the court to increase as well as decrease the amount of child support to be paid as a term and condition of the sentence so suspended, and such review as to ability to support and adequacy of support shall not be equivalent to a hearing held in cases of revocation of probated sentences for purposes of service of the suspended sentence; nor shall such modification, if any, be deemed a change in sentence; nor shall such modification, if any, be deemed to change the suspended sentence to a probated sentence. (e) The court may, in its discretion, require the payment of a fine or costs or both as a condition precedent to probation. (f) During the interval between the conviction or plea and the hearing to determine the question of probation, the court may, in its discretion, either order the confinement of the defendant without bond or may permit his release on bond, which shall be condi tioned on his appearance at the hearing and which shall be subject to the same rules as govern appearance bonds. Any time served in confinement shall be considered a part of the sentence of the defendant. (g) The sentencing judge shall not lose jurisdiction over any person placed on proba tion during the term of said probated sentence, and such judge is hereby empowered to revoke any or all of said probated sentence, rescind any or all of said sentence, or in any manner deemed advisable by said judge to modify or change said probated sentence at any time during the period of time originally described for the probated sentence to run."

Respectfully submitted, FOR THE SENATE: /s/Honorable Pierre Howard Senator, 42nd District /s/Honorable W. D. Ballard Senator, 45th District FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: /s/Honorable Bobby Eugene Parham Representative, 109th District /s/Honorable Eleanor L. Richardson Representative, 52nd District /s/Honorable Culver Kidd Senator, 25th District /s/Honorable Wilbur Edwin Baugh Representative, 108th District SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3509 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 is engaged in furnishing 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, 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. 3510 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (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 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, except in those instances where expansion of services or service areas is requested by said home health agencies. SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3511 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.

(d) (1) In carrying out its duties under subsections (b) and (c), the association may impose permanent policy liens or contract liens in connection with any guarantee, assumption, or reinsurance agreement if the court: SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3565 (A) Finds that the amounts which can be assessed under this Act are less than the amounts needed to assure full and prompt performance of the insolvent insurer's contractual obligations or that the economic or financial conditions as they affect member insurers are sufficiently adverse to render the imposition of policy or contract liens to be in the public interest; and (B) Approves the specific policy liens or contract liens to be used. (2) Before being obligated under subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the associ ation may request that there be imposed temporary moratoriums or liens on payments of cash values and policy loans in addition to any contractual provisions for deferral of said cash value payments or policy loans. Such temporary moratoriums and liens may be imposed if they are approved by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) (1) Any person receiving benefits under this Act shall be deemed to have assigned the rights under the covered policy to the association to the extent of the benefits received because of this Act, whether the benefits are payments of contractual obligations or continuation of coverage.

The association shall be subrogated to these rights against the assets of any insolvent insurer. (2) The subrogation rights of the association under this subsection shall have the same priority against the assets of the insolvent insurer as that possessed by the person entitled to receive benefits under this Act. (i) The contractual obligations of the insolvent insurer for which the association becomes or may become liable shall be as great as, but no greater than, the contractual obligations of the insolvent insurer would have been in the absence of an insolvency, unless such obligations are reduced as permitted by subsection (d). The aggregate liability of the association on any one life shall not exceed $100,000.00 with respect to the payment of cash values or $300,000.00 for all benefits including cash values, (j) The association may: (1) Enter into such contracts as are necessary or proper to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Act.

(6) Take such legal action as may be necessary to avoid payment of improper claims. (7) Exercise, for the purposes of this Act and to the extent approved by the Com missioner, the powers of a domestic life or health insurer; but in no case may the asso ciation issue insurance policies or annuity contracts other than those necessary to perform the contractual obligations of the impaired or insolvent insurer. 3566 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Section 9. Assessments, (a) For the purpose of providing the funds necessary to carry out the powers and duties of the association, the board of directors shall assess the member insurers separately for each account at such time and for such amounts as the board finds necessary. Assessments shall be due not less than 30 days after prior written notice to the member insurers. (b) There shall be three classes of assessments, as follows: (1) Class A assessments shall be made for the purpose of meeting administrative costs and other general expenses not related to a particular impaired or insolvent insurer, and examinations conducted under the authority of Section 12(c). (2) Class B assessments shall be made to the extent necessary to carry out the powers and duties of the association under Section 8 with regard to an impaired or insolvent domestic insurer. (3) Class C assessments shall be made to the extent necessary to carry out the powers and duties of the association under Section 8 with regard to an insolvent for eign or alien insurer. (c) (1) The amount of any Class A assessment shall be determined by the board of directors- and may be made on a non-pro rata basis. Such assessment for costs and expenses other than for examinations shall not exceed $50.00 per company in any one calendar year. The amount of any Class B or C assessment shall be allocated for assessment purposes among the accounts in Section 6(a) in the proportion that the premiums received by the impaired or insolvent insurer on the policies covered by each account for the last calendar year preceding the assessment in which the impaired or insolvent insurer received premiums bears to the premiums received by such insurer for such calendar year on all covered policies. (2) Class C assessments against member insurers for each account shall be in the proportion that the premiums received on business in this state by each assessed member insurer on policies by each account for the last calendar year preceding the assessment bears to such premiums received by all assessed member insurers on busi ness in this state for such calendar year preceding the assessment. (3) Class B assessments for each account shall be made separately for each state in which the impaired or insolvent domestic insurer was authorized to transact insur ance at any time in the proportion that the premiums received on business in such state by the impaired or insolvent insurer on policies covered by such account for the last calendar year preceding the assessment in which the impaired or insolvent insurer received premiums bears to such premiums received in all such states for such calen dar year by the impaired or insolvent insurer. The assessments against member insur ers shall be in the proportion that the premiums received on business in each such state by each assessed member insurer on policies covered by each account for the cal endar year preceding the assessment bears to such premiums received by all assessed member insurers on business in each state for such calendar year preceding the assess ment. (4) Assessments for funds to meet the requirements of the association with respect to an impaired or insolvent insurer shall not be made until necessary to implement the purposes of this Act. Classificatien of assessments under subsection (b) and com putation of assessments under this subsection shall be made with a reasonable degree of accuracy, recognizing that exact determinations may not always be possible. (d) The association may abate or defer in whole or in part the assessment of a member insurer if, in the opinion of the board of directors, payment of the assessment would endanger the ability of the member insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations. In the event an assessment against a member insurer is abated or deferred in whole or in part, the amount by which such assessment is abated or deferred may be assessed against the other member insurers in a manner consistent with the basis for assessments set forth in this section. (e) The total of all assessments upon a member insurer for each account shall not in any one calendar year exceed 2 percent of such insurer's premiums received in this state on the policies covered by the account during the calendar year preceding the assessment. If the maximum assessment in any account, together with the other assets of the associa tion, does not provide in any one year in such account an amount sufficient to carry out SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3567 the responsibilities of the association, the necessary additional funds shall be assessed as soon thereafter as permitted by this Act. (f) The board may, by an equitable method as established in the plan of operation, refund to member insurers, in proportion to the contribution of each insurer to that account, the amount by which the assets of the account exceed the amount the board finds is necessary to carry out the obligations of the association during the coming year with regard to that account, including assets accruing from net realized gains and income from investments. A reasonable amount may be retained in any account to provide funds for the continuing expenses of the association and for future losses if the board determines that refunds are impractical. (g) It shall be proper for any member insurer in determining its premium rates and policy-owner dividends as to any kind of insurance within the scope of this Act to consider the amount reasonably necessary to meet its assessment obligations under this Act. (h) The association shall issue to each insurer paying an assessment under this Act, other than Class A assessment, a certificate of contribution, in a form prescribed by the Commissioner for the amount of the assessment paid. All outstanding certificates shall be of equal dignity and priority without reference to amounts or dates of issue. A certificate of contribution may be shown by the insurer in its financial statement as an asset in such form, for such an amount and for such period of time, not to exceed five years from the date of assessment, as the Commissioner may approve. Section 10. Plan of operation, (a) (1) The association shall submit to the Commis sioner a plan of operation and any amendments thereto necessary or suitable to assure the fair, reasonable, and equitable administration of the association. The plan of oper ation and any amendments thereto shall become effective upon approval in writing by the Commissioner. (2) If the association fails to submit a suitable plan of operation within 180 days following July 1, 1980, or if at any time thereafter the association fails to submit suit able amendments to the plan, the Commissioner shall, after notice and hearing, adopt and promulgate such reasonable rules as are necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Act. Such rules shall continue in force until modified by the Com missioner or superseded by a plan submitted by the association and approved in writ ing by the Commissioner. (b) All member insurers shall comply with the plan of operation. (c) The plan of operation shall, in addition to requirements enumerated elsewhere in this Act: (1) Establish procedures for handling the assets of the association. (2) Establish the amount and method of reimbursing members of the board of directors under Section 7. (3) Establish regular places and times for meetings of the board of directors. (4) Establish procedures for records to be kept of all financial transactions of the association, its agents, and the board of directors. (5) Establish any additional procedures for assessments under Section 9. (6) Contain additional provisions necessary or proper for the execution of the powers and duties of the association. (d) The plan of operation may provide that any or all powers and duties of the asso ciation, except those under Sections 8(j)(3) and 9, shall be delegated to a corporation, asso ciation, or other organization which performs or will perform functions similar to those of this association or its equivalent in two or more states. Such a corporation, association, or organization shall be reimbursed for any payments made on behalf of the association and shall be paid for its performance of any function of the association. A delegation under this subsection shall take effect only with the approval of both the board of directors and the Commissioner and may be made only to a corporation, association, or organization which extends protection not substantially less favorable and effective than that provided by this Act. Section 11. Duties and powers of the Commissioner. In addition to the duties and powers enumerated elsewhere in this Act, 3568 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (a) The Commissioner shall: (1) Upon request of the board of directors, provide the association with a state ment of the premiums in the appropriate states for each member insurer. (2) When an impairment is declared and the amount of the impairment is deter mined, serve a demand upon the impaired insurer to make good the impairment within a reasonable time. Notice to the impaired insurer shall constitute notice to its shareholders, if any. The failure of the insurer to comply promptly with such demand shall not excuse the association from the performance of its powers and duties under this Act. (b) The Commissioner may suspend or revoke, after notice and hearing, the certifi cate of authority to transact insurance in this state of any member insurer which fails to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation. (c) Any action of the board of directors may be appealed to the Commissioner by any member insurer if such appeal is taken within 30 days of the action being appealed. Any final action or order of the Commissioner shall be subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction. (d) The liquidator, rehabilitator, or conservator of any impaired insurer may notify all interested persons of the effect of this Act. Section 12. Prevention of insolvencies, (a) The board of directors may, upon major ity vote, make reports and recommendations to the Commissioner upon any matter germane to the solvency, liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation of any member insurer, or to the solvency of any company seeking to do an insurance business in this state. Such reports and recommendations shall not be considered public documents. (b) It shall be the duty of the board of directors, upon majority vote, to notify the Commissioner of any information indicating any member insurer may be an impaired or insolvent insurer. (c) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, request that the Commissioner order an examination of any member insurer which the board in good faith believes may be an impaired or insolvent insurer. Within 30 days of the receipt of such request, the Commissioner shall begin such examination. The examination may be conducted as a National Association of Insurance Commissioners' examination or may be conducted by such persons as the Commissioner designates. The cost of such examination shall be paid by the association and the examination report shall be treated the same as other examina tion reports. In no event shall such examination report be released to the board of direc tors prior to its release to the public, but this shall not preclude the Commissioner from complying with subsection (a).

For whom guardians may be appointed. A probate judge may appoint guard ians for adult persons 18 years of age or older or their estates, or both, as follows: (a) A probate judge may appoint guardians over the person of adults who are inca pacitated by reason of mental illness, mental retardation, mental disability, advanced age, physical illness or disability, chronic use of drugs or alcohol, or other cause to the extent that such adults lack sufficient understanding or capacity to make significant responsible decisions concerning their persons or to the extent that they are incapable of communicating them. (b) A probate judge may appoint guardians over the property of adults who are inca pacitated by reason of mental illness, mental retardation, mental disability, advanced age, physical illness or disability, chronic use of drugs or alcohol, detention by a foreign power, disappearance, or other cause to the extent that such adults are incapable of managing their estates and that such appointment is necessary because such property will be either wasted or dissipated unless proper management is provided, or such prop erty is needed for the support, care, or well-being of such adults or those entitled to be supported by such adults. 49-602. Selection of guardian; preferences, (a) Any person not otherwise disqualified may be appointed guardian of the person or property, or both, of an incapacitated adult. (b) The following preferences must be considered by the court in selecting a guardian; however, for good cause shown, in writing, the court may pass over a person having a preference and appoint a person having a lower preference or no preference or, in appointing a property guardian, may appoint a corporation having general trust powers if the court finds such person or corporate fiduciary to be substantially more qualified and such appointment to be clearly in the best interests of the ward. In deter mining whether to depart from the preferences below, the court shall consider all rele vant factors, including the ability of the person to perform the duties of the guardian 3574 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, under this Chapter and the period of time elapsed since any person was nominated by the prospective ward or another. (c) Persons who are not disqualified have preference in the following order: (1) An individual nominated by the incapacitated adult prior to the filing of the petition for a finding of incapacity if at the time of nomination the incapacitated adult was 18 or more years of age and had, in the opinion of the court, sufficient mental capacity to make an intelligent choice. The nomination must be in writing, signed by such adult, attested by at least two witnesses, and have not been revoked by a later writing signed by such adult and attested by at least two witnesses. (2) The spouse of the incapacitated person. (3) An adult child of the incapacitated person. (4) A parent of the incapacitated person or, if none, a person nominated by will or other writing signed by a deceased parent and attested by at least two witnesses, whichever instrument is later. (5) A guardian of a minor child upon the child's reaching majority in the event he is then adjudicated as incapacitated within the meaning of this chapter; a guardian of the person in the event of an application for guardian of the property, or a guardian of the property in the event of an application for guardian of the person. (6) A relative or other person who has provided care for the incapacitated person and with whom the incapacitated person has resided for a significant period prior to the time of application. (7) Other persons such as relatives; persons nominated by a spouse, adult child, parent, or guardian; cr private persons providing income or other care to the incapaci tated person.

The director of the county department of family and children's services may delegate his duties as guardian to responsible employees of the department. The director or his duly appointed delegatee is hereby authorized to take the oath of guardianship before the judge of the probate court of Fulton County or before the judge of the probate court making the appointment of guardian ship.

(2) If no other person is available to be the guardian of the property, the judge may appoint the county guardian. (e) No person may be appointed as guardian who is a minor, has been adjudged inca pacitated under this chapter, refuses to serve as guardian, or has a conflict of interest, except that a person with a conflict of interest may be appointed if the court determines that the conflict of interest is insubstantial and that the appointment clearly would be in the proposed ward's best interest. 49-603.

(4) In addition to stating the specific incapacity of the proposed ward and the facts which support the determination, such affidavit shall state any foreseeable limits on the duration of such incapacity. (b) (1) Upon the filing of the petition, the probate judge shall review the petition and affidavit, if any, and determine whether there is sufficient evidence to believe that the proposed ward is incapacitated within the meaning of Section 49-601. (2) If the probate judge determines that there is such evidence, the judge shall: (A) Immediately notify the proposed ward of the proceedings by personal service of all pleadings on the proposed ward by an officer of the court; (B) Inform the proposed ward of the place and time at which the proposed ward shall submit to the evaluation provided for by subsection (c) of this section and of the right to independent counsel and that the court will appoint counsel within two days unless the proposed ward indicates that he has retained counsel by that time; (C) Give notice of the petition by first-class mail to the spouse and all adult children of the proposed ward whose addresses are known; or if none, order notice of the petition by first-class mail to the two next of kin whose addresses are known, or if only one, then that one; or if none, order notice of the petition by first-class mail to two adult friends of the ward; (D) Upon application of any interested person or on the court's own motion, consider whether to appoint a guardian ad litem; but the decision as to whether to appoint a guardian ad litem shall be in the sole discretion of the probate judge; (E) Appoint a guardianship evaluation physician or psychologist as provided in Section 49-606(c). (3) If the probate court determines that there is insufficient evidence to believe that the proposed ward is incapacitated within the meaning of Section 49-601, the judge shall dismiss the petition and provide the proposed ward with a copy of such petition, affidavit, and order of dismissal.

The evaluation shall take place at the place and time set in the notice to the proposed ward; and the time set in said notice to the proposed ward shall not be sooner than the fifth day after service of said notice on the proposed ward. The judge, however, shall have the power to change the place and time of the examination at any time upon reasonable actual notice being given to the proposed ward. If the proposed ward fails to appear, the probate judge may order that the pro posed ward be taken directly to and from a medical facility or the office of the physi cian or psychologist for purposes of evaluation only. Such evaluation shall be conducted during the normal business hours of the facility or office and the ward shall not be detained in the facility or office overnight. (5) A written report shall be filed with the court no later than seven days after the date of the examination. (6) The report shall be signed under oath by the physician or psychologist.

(d) After filing of the evaluation report, the probate court shall review the petition and the evaluation report. (1) If after such review the court finds that there is probable cause to support a finding that the proposed ward is incapacitated within the meaning of Section 49-601, the probate court shall schedule a hearing on the petition. Notice of the hearing and a copy of the evaluation report shall be served by first-class mail upon the proposed ward and his attorney and guardian ad litem, if any, and upon the petitioner or his attorney, if any. The date of the hearing shall be not less than 10 days after the date notice is mailed. Either the proposed ward or the petitioner may file a written response to the evaluation report at any time up to the conclusion of the hearing. The response may include, but is not limited to, independent evaluations, affidavits of individuals with personal knowledge of the proposed ward, and a statement of applica ble law. (2) If after such review the court finds that there is not probable cause to support a finding that the proposed ward is incapacitated within the meaning of Secton 49-601, the probate court shall dismiss the petition. (e) (1) The hearing shall be held in a regular courtroom, if available, or otherwise at such place as the judge may set. At the request of the proposed ward or the ward's attorney and for good cause shown, the public may be excluded and the appearance of the ward may be waived; in any case, the court shall utilize its discretion and the record shall reflect the reasons for the court's action. (2) The hearing shall be recorded by sound recording device and the tape retained for not less than 45 days or recorded by a certified court reporter. 3578 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (3) The court shall apply the rules of evidence applicable in civil cases. The pro posed ward shall have the right to assistance of counsel and to subpoena and cross-ex amine witnesses, including the evaluation physician or psychologist. Upon agreement of the parties, evidence may be presented by deposition. (4) The court shall utilize the criteria found in Sections 49-601 and 49-607 and shall make an independent determination of the need for a guardianship based upon the evaluation report, the response filed by the ward, and the evidence taken at the hearing. The burden of proof shall be upon the petitioner and the standard used by the court in reaching its decision shall be clear and convincing evidence. (5) If the court determines that a guardian is necessary and the proposed ward is present, the court may inquire whether the proposed ward wishes to suggest any person as guardian. (6) In any procedure under this chapter in which the probate judge is unable to hear a case within the time required for such hearing, said judge shall appoint a person to serve and exercise all the jurisdiction of the probate court in such case. Any person so appointed shall be a member of the State Bar of Georgia who is in the opin ion of the appointing judge otherwise qualified for his duties by training and experi ence. Such appointment may be made on a case-by-case basis or by making a standing appointment of one or more persons. Any person receiving such standing appointment shall serve at the pleasure of the judge making the appointment, or his successor in office, to hear such cases if and when necessary. The compensation of a person so appointed shall be as agreed upon by the judge who makes the appointment and the person appointed, with the approval of the governing authority of the county for which such person is appointed, and shall be paid from the county funds of said county. All fees collected for the services of such appointed person shall be paid into the general funds of the county served. (f) (1) In its order the court shall set forth the findings of fact and conclusions of law which support the grant or denial of the petition. If a guardianship is granted, the order shall specify: (A) The type of guardianship established, whether of the person or property, or both; (B) The names of the guardian or guardians and the reason for their selection; (C) The nature and extent of the ward's incapacity; (D) Any rights or powers retained by the ward pursuant to paragraph 49-607(a)(3) or (4); (E) The duration of the guardianship, whether limited or permanent; (F) If separate guardians for the person and the property of the ward are appointed or if just a personal guardian is appointed, the reasonable sums or prop erty to be provided the guardian of the person to provide adequately for the ward's support, care, education, and well-being, subject to modification by subsequent order of the court; (G) The type and frequency of physical, mental, and social evaluations of the ward's condition which the court requires to supplement the reports submitted pur suant to Section 49-603(b)(10); (H) Any reporting requirements in addition to those required by law; (I) Any bonding requirements in addition to those required by law; (J) Such other and further provisions of the guardianship as the court may deem proper. (2) Service of the court's order shall be made by mail upon the ward; his attorney; representatives; guardian ad litem, if any; the guardian, if appointed; and the peti tioner. (3) After service of the court's order, the ward's counsel shall make reasonable efforts to explain the order and the ward's rights to him. If the ward desires to appeal the court's order, the attorney shall file such notice in the ward's behalf; and if coun sel was appointed by the probate court, such appointment shall continue on appeal to superior court. SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3579 49-607. Retention and protection of rights, (a) Persons determined incapacitated pur suant to this chapter or alleged to be so incapacitated shall not be deprived of any civil, political, personal, or property rights without due process of law. (1) No guardian, other than a guardian ad litem, shall be appointed for any adult except pursuant to the procedures of this chapter. (2) No person shall be presumed to be incapacitated and in need of a guardian unless adjudicated pursuant to this chapter; and neither a finding of criminal insanity or incompetence to stand trial nor a finding of a need for treatment or services pur suant to Ga. Code Chapters 88-4, 88-5, or 88-25 shall create such a presumption. (3) Unless the court's order specifies that one or more of the following powers are to be retained by the ward, the appointment of a guardian of the person shall remove from the ward: the power to contract marriage; the power to make other contracts; the power to consent to medical treatment; the power to establish a residence or place of abode; and the power to bring or defend any action at law or equity (except an action relating to the guardianship) except through a guardian or guardian ad litem. (4) Unless the court's order specifies that one or more of the following powers are to be retained by the ward, the appointment of a guardian of the property shall remove from the ward: the power to bring or defend any action at law or equity (except an action relating to the guardianship) except through a guardian or guardian ad litem; the power to make contracts; the power to buy, sell, or otherwise dispose of or encumber real, personal, or trust property; and the power to enter into other busi ness or commercial transactions. (5) Subject to the provisions of law relating to testamentary capacity and the right to vote which matters shall be independently determined, all persons for whom guard ians are appointed shall retain powers, rights, and privileges not removed from the ward pursuant to this chapter. This paragraph, however, shall not prevent the court from specifically removing from the ward powers, rights, and privileges other than those specified in the preceding paragraphs (3) and (4). (b) No guardian shall be appointed for any person unless such appointment is in the best interest of the person. In addition, in every guardianship: (1) Each ward has a right to a guardian who acts in the ward's best interest and a guardian whose affairs do not create a substantial conflict of interest with those of his ward; (2) Each ward has a right to a guardian who is reasonably accessible to him; (3) Each ward has a right to have his property utilized to provide adequately for his support, care, education, and well-being; (4) Each ward has a right to communicate freely and privately with persons other than the guardian, except as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. (c) All guardianships ordered pursuant to this chapter shall be designed to encourage the development of maximum self-reliance and independence in the ward and shall be ordered only to the extent necessitated by the person's actual and adaptive limitations. (d) A ward or his representative or attorney may file a petition in the probate court alleging that the ward is being unjustly denied a right or privilege granted by this chap ter. Upon the filing of such petition, the court shall have the authority to conduct a judicial inquiry and to issue appropriate orders to correct any abuse of the provisions of this chapter. 49-608. Emergency guardians. In the event that the petitioner believes that the pro posed ward is gravely incapacitated and that an emergency guardian is necessary, such a guardian may be appointed for the person or property, or both, of the ward as follows: (a) In addition to the requirements of Section 49-606(a), the petition shall set forth: (1) such facts as establish an immediate, clear, and substantial risk of death or serious physical injury, illness, or disease unless an emergency guardian is appointed; or (2) such facts as establish an immediate, substantial risk of irreparable waste or dissipation of the estate of the proposed ward unless an emergency guardian is appointed. (b) Such petition shall be supported by the oath of at least two petitioners or by the affidavit of a physician or psychologist as required in Section 49-606(a). All such affida vits, in addition to setting out from personal knowledge the facts establishing the inca pacity of the proposed ward, shall specify such facts as are required by subsection (a) above, constituting an emergency situation. 3580 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, (c) In its review of the petition as set out in Section 49-606(b), if the court finds that there is probable cause to believe that the proposed ward is gravely incapacitated and that an emergency guardianship is necessary for the reasons indicated in this section, the court: (1) Shall order an examination of the proposed ward by a physician licensed to practice under Section 84-907 or by an applied psychologist licensed to practice under Chapter 84-31 to be conducted within 72 hours and a written report to be furnished to the court and made available to the parties within such time; the examination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection 49-606(c)(3); (2) Shall order an emergency hearing to be conducted not sooner than three days nor later than five days after the filing of the petition; (3) Shall immediately appoint counsel to represent the proposed ward at the emer gency hearing and shall inform counsel of such appointment; (4) If the threatened risk is so immediate and irreparable that any delay is unrea sonable and the existence of such a threatened risk is certified by the affidavit of a physician licensed to practice under Section 84-907 or of an applied psychologist licensed to practice under Chapter 84-31, shall appoint an emergency guardian to serve until the emergency hearing; (5) If there is a substantial risk of dissipation of any bank or savings and loan account in which the proposed ward has an interest, and if such risk is so immediate and the potential harm so irreparable that any further delay would be unreasonable, then the court in its discretion may order that, pending the emergency hearing, no withdrawals may be made from any such account on the authority of the proposed ward's signature without prior approval from the court; (6) Shall order immediate personal service of the petition, notice of the emergency hearing and the appointment of counsel, and any emergency order upon the proposed ward by an officer of the court. (d) After receiving the examination report and at the time indicated in its earlier order, the probate court shall conduct such emergency hearing to determine whether the conditions indicated in subsection (a) of this section exist so as to necessitate the appointment or continuation of the appointment of an emergency guardian or whether any existing guardianship should be discontinued pending evaluation and the full hear ing indicated in Section 49-606(e). The burden of proof shall be upon the petitioner, and the standard used by the court in reaching its decision shall be clear and convincing evi dence. (e) Any emergency guardian appointed under this chapter shall have only those powers and duties specifically enumerated in the order of the probate court; and such powers and duties shall not exceed those absolutely necessary to respond to the immedi ate, threatened risk to the ward enumerated in the petition pursuant to this section. All emergency guardianships shall terminate immediately after the full hearing indicated in Section 49-606(e), 45 days after the filing of the petition, or on a date specified in the court's order appointing the emergency guardian, whichever occurs first. 49-609. Modification or termination of guardianships, (a) Upon the petition of any interested person, including the incapacitated person, or upon the probate court's own motion after review of the guardianship reports, a guardianship of the person or prop erty of an adult ward may be modified or terminated, as appropriate, by the court: (1) By the procedures provided in Chapter 49-2 in the event of such conflicts of interest or unfitness as substantially impair the guardian's ability to perform his duties under this chapter effectively or in the event of any other misconduct of the guardian; (2) By the procedures provided for in Chapter 49-3 in the event of the resignation or death of the guardian, except that the persons to be notified shall be the same as set forth in Section 49-606(a)(2); (3) By the procedures provided for in Chapter 49-3 in the event of the death of the ward with the guardian of the property or, if none, the guardian of the person act ing as administrator, as provided therein; (4) By adjusting the guardianship order in the event of a significant change in the extent of the incapacity of the ward or the circumstances of ward or guardian; SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3581 (5) By restoring all personal and property rights and terminating the guardianship upon a proper showing that the need for the guardianship has ended. (b) In petitions under subsections (a)(4) and (5) above, where the primary issue is a change in the condition of the ward, such petition must be accompanied by an affida vit of two persons who have knowledge of the ward or of a physician licensed to practice under Section 84-907 or of an applied psychologist licensed to practice under Chapter 84-31 setting forth the supporting facts and determinations. Thereafter, the provisions of subsections 49-606(c) and (e) shall apply; except that the court may dismiss the peti tion prior to hearing if after reviewing the evaluation report the court finds that there is not probable cause to believe that there are grounds for modification or termination of the guardianship. In all proceedings under this Section the burden of proof shall be upon the guardian and the prior adjudication of incapacity shall not be competent evi dence in these proceedings. (c) A guardianship with a specific duration shall end automatically upon its expira tion. (d) In all guardianship modification or termination procedures, notice shall be given personally to the guardian and the ward; counsel shall be appointed for the ward where he cannot afford counsel; and all the rights of the ward enumerated in Section 49-606 shall apply to the hearing upon the petition. 49-610. Second petition or application. When one petition for guardianship under Section 49-606(a) or a petition for protection of rights under Section 49-607(d) or an application for modification or termination of guardianship under Section 49-609 shall have been denied or dismissed on the merits by the probate or superior court, no further such petition or application shall be allowed by the court within two years after such denial or dismissal without a showing of a substantial change in the condition or circum stances of the proposed ward, guardian, or ward. 49-611. Appeals, (a) The ward, individually or by his attorney, his representatives, or his guardian ad litem or the petitioner may appeal from any final order of the probate court to the superior court in the county in which the proceedings were held. The appeal shall be in the same manner as other appeals from probate court to superior court but shall be heard as expeditiously as possible. The appeal shall be de novo unless the par ties by agreement specifically limit the issues. The ward shall retain his right to counsel or to have counsel appointed for him. The burden of proof shall be upon the petitioner and the standard used by the court in reaching its decision shall be clear and convincing evidence. (b) All rights of appeal from superior court shall be as provided by law. (c) The filing of an appeal to superior court from the judgment of the probate court shall act as supersedeas. (d) If, pending a trial on such appeal, an emergency situation arises within the mean ing of Section 49-608, the superior court, after proper notice and hearing, may order the appointment of an emergency guardian with such powers and duties as are described in Section 49-608. 49-612. Wages of an involuntarily hospitalized person; payment to spouse; exemption from garnishment; proof by spouse; release of employer. It shall be lawful upon the involuntary hospitalization, pursuant to Chapter 88-5, of any person employed by any person, firm, partnership, governmental unit, or public or private corporation doing busi ness in this state, hereinafter called 'employer,' who may have wages due him or her by said employer and who may have a spouse with whom he or she was living at the time of the order of involuntary hospitalization, pursuant to Chapter 88-5, to pay so much of said wages as exceed any amount due said employer to said spouse; and said funds to the amount of any amount due said employee after the order of involuntary hospi talization shall be exempt from any and all process of garnishment.

Such amounts shall be paid by the appropriate county upon the warrant of the probate judge of the county where the hearing was held. Payment by the county shall be required, however, only if the person who actually presides over the hearing exe cutes an affidavit or includes a statement in his order that the party against whom costs are cast by paragraph (1) or (2) of this section appears to lack sufficient assets to defray such expenses.

A record of each such transaction shall be maintained by the pharmacist, together with a notation of the card number and amount. If authorized by rule of the depart ment, the record may be kept as a notation on the reverse of the written prescription. The pharmacist shall compute the total amount of such deductions in each calendar month and shall deduct the monthly total, together with an additional amount of 3 per cent of the amount of the report to defer the pharmacist's costs of administration, from the amount of sales and use tax due on his monthly report as required pursuant to Code Chapter 91A-45. Such deductions shall be taken and substantiated in the manner pro vided by rule or regulation of the Department of Revenue. (f) The Department of Medical Assistance shall provide for widespread dissemina tion and availability of information concerning, and applications for participation in, the program and for local assistance to applicants in making application for participation in the program.

The department shall post in application areas large notices of the avail ability of this program. (i) The General Assembly may make appropriations to either the Department of Medical Assistance or the Department of Revenue for the purposes of this section. No funds shall be expended or committed pursuant to this Act unless funds have previously been appropriated or otherwise become available for such purposes. (j) (1) It is unlawful for a: (A) Person to knowingly make any false claim in an application for assistance pursuant to this section or any false claim for assistance pursuant to this section.

The General Assembly hereby recognizes that it is in the public interest to encourage the best, most experienced attorneys to serve as judges of the juvenile courts and as judges and solicitors of the inferior courts of this State. The General Assembly recog nizes that a majority of these experienced attorneys will be forty to fifty years of age at the time they assume office. Recognizing the fact that such persons are older and more experienced than the average government employee at the time of first assuming office, the General Assembly is providing for a shorter period of actual service in order to qualify for benefits under the provisions of this Act. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Act to reward those citizens of Georgia for their actual service as members of the judicial branch of State government." Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking subsection (e) of Section 2 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (e), to read as follows: "(e) 'Creditable service' means (1) service performed as a contributing member of the Fund after June 30, 1968, while a solicitor general or judge or solicitor of an inferior court; and (2) service performed prior to June 30, 1968, as judge or solicitor of an inferior court when employer and employee contributions for such prior service are paid into said Fund as provided for in this Act; and (3) service performed as a contributing member of the Fund after June 30, 1972, while a juvenile court judge. Section 3. Said Act is further amended by adding at the end of Section 2 a new sub section (g) to read as follows: "(g) 'Average annual compensation' means the average annual compensation of a member during the five years immediately preceding his retirement, except that any increase in compensation during such five-year period which exceeds an annual increase 3628 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, in compensation of 20 percent shall not be counted in determining average annual com pensation." Section 4. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 3 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 3, to read as follows: "Section 3.

Subsequent members shall be elected or reelected annually thereafter at the annual meeting of such Council and shall take office on July 1 following their election.

Any district attorney who also serves as solicitor of an inferior court shall not be eligible for membership in the retirement system created by this Act. No juvenile court judge who also serves as a judge or solicitor of an inferior court shall be eligible to obtain separate service under this Act for each position held, and such service shall be combined for the purposes of this Act. Any person holding two such positions shall make employee contributions under this Act on the basis of the compensation received for both such positions, and the compensation received for both such positions shall be combined for all purposes under this Act." Section 6. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 12 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 12, to read as follows: "Section 12. The basis for employer and employee contributions to said Fund with respect to judges and solicitors of inferior courts shall be the actual compensation received as judge or solicitor of an inferior court whether such compensation is received in the form of a salary paid by the governmental units paying the costs of the operation of such courts or received in the form of fees paid to said solicitors; provided, however, that if such compensation exceeds the State salary paid to superior court judges, as now or hereafter fixed by law, the basis for such employer and employee contributions shall be the same as the State salary paid to judges of the superior courts."

(b) The persons designated by the governing authorities to receive the reports and employee contributions provided for in subsection (a) of this Section shall forward such reports and contributions to the Board by not later than the fifteenth day of each calen dar month. A duplicate copy of such reports, certified as true and correct by such per sons so designated, shall be forwarded to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services at the same time in order for the Fiscal Division of the Depart ment of Administrative Services to determine and pay employer contributions as pro vided in subsection (c) of this Section.

The amount of such salaries shall be reported to the Board, with a duplicate copy certified as true and correct directed to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services, by not later than the fifteenth day of each cal endar month by a person to be designated by the governing authorities of such govern mental units. The governing authorities of such governmental units are hereby authorized and directed to deduct said employee contributions from the salaries of said judges and solicitors and to pay the same into the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retire ment Fund, said payment of such employee contributions to be forwarded to the Board at the same time the report of the salaries of said judges and solicitors is forwarded. The deduction from the salaries payable to such judges and solicitors of inferior courts shall be made notwithstanding that such salaries fixed by law for such judges and solic itors shall be reduced thereby. Such judges and solicitors shall be deemed to consent and agree to the deductions made, and payment of such salaries, less such deductions, shall be a full and complete discharge of all claims and demands whatsoever for the services rendered by such judges and solicitors during the period covered by such payment. (b) From funds appropriated or otherwise available for the operation of superior courts, the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services is hereby authorized and directed to pay into the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund monthly employer contributions, including contributions to fund any creditable service authorized by this Act, such amount to be determined by the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services on the basis of the duplicate reports submitted to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services as provided in sub section (a) of this Section, and which, together with employee contributions and the earnings of the Fund, shall be an amount sufficient to fund the service and disability retirement benefits provided for by this Act." 3630 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, Section 9. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 15 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 15, to read as follows: "Section 15. It shall be the duty of the governing authorities of the governmental units affected by this Act to designate responsible persons to submit the reports and for ward the employee contributions as provided in Sections 13 and 14 of this Act, and it shall be the duty of the persons so designated to comply with the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 of this Act. If the reports and employee contributions are not forwarded to the Board, with a duplicate copy of the reports directed to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 of this Act, the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services is hereby authorized to withhold any State payments payable to any governmental units failing to forward such reports and employee contributions until such time as such reports and contributions have been received." Section 10. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 16 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 16, to read as follows: "Section ^16. (a) Judges and solicitors of inferior courts may receive credit in said Fund for service as judges and solicitors of inferior courts prior to June 30, 1968, by the payment, by such judge or solicitor, of employer and employee contributions into the Fund for such prior service. Judges of the juvenile courts may receive credit in said Fund for service as judges of the juvenile courts prior to July 1, 1972, by the payment, by such judge, of employer and employee contributions into the Fund for such prior ser vice. Said contributions for such prior service may be paid into said Fund at a rate not to exceed payment for one year's prior service for each year as a contributing member of said Fund, except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this Section. The basis for employer and employee contributions to said Fund for receiving any credit for prior service shall be the compensation received by such judge or solicitor or juvenile court judge applying for prior service at the time such application is submitted. (b) The governmental units paying the costs of the operation of said courts are hereby authorized, but not required, to pay any part or all employer contributions for such prior service, and said governmental units are hereby authorized to expend public funds for such purpose as a part of the costs of operation of such courts. The payment of employer contributions for any such prior service shall not be paid from State funds in any case. The Board may accept payment into the Fund, at the rate herein specified, of the necessary amount for any such prior service up to the total amount for all actual prior service. Credit for prior service gained in accordance with the provisions of this Act shall be creditable service for determining eligibility for retirement, but retirement benefits shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 18 and 19 of this Act. (c) In the event a contributing member who is eligible for credit for prior service has reached retirement age, or early retirement age, as provided in Sections 18 and 19 of this Act, but does not have the minimum creditable service for retirement, as provided in said Sections, such member may, at his election, pay into said Fund, at any time after becoming a contributing member, employee and employer contributions for all actual prior service in order to qualify for a monthly retirement benefit, (d) In the event a contributing member who is eligible for credit for prior service ceases to hold a position or office covered by said Fund, such member may elect to pay into said Fund employee and employer contributions for all actual prior service in order to qualify for a monthly retirement benefit upon reaching retirement age or early retire ment age; provided, however, such member shall be required to make the election within thirty days after ceasing to hold a position or office covered by said Fund whether or not he will pay into said Fund said employee and employer contributions for such prior service authorized by this Act, and said member shall be required to make the necessary payments into said Fund for employee and employer contributions for such prior service within six months after ceasing to hold a position or office covered by said Fund. In the event such member fails to make such election within said thirty days or in the event such member fails to make the necessary payments into the Fund within said six months, such member shall cease to be a member of said Fund and may withdraw the SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3631 total sum with interest which he has paid into the Fund, but he shall not be eligible at any time after such withdrawal to become a member of said Fund. (e) No prior service shall be creditable under the provisions of this Section or any other provision of this Act if the same service is obtained as creditable service under any other publicly supported retirement or pension system of this State. No service as a contributing member of this retirement system shall be allowed as creditable service under any other publicly supported retirement or pension system of this State." Section 11. Said Act is further amended by striking Sections 18, 19 and 20 in their entirety and inserting in lieu thereof new Sections 18, 19 and 20, to read as follows: "Section 18. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any member who has attained the age of seventy years who fails to retire effective on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding that in which he attains the age of seventy years shall forfeit his right to receive any retirement or disability benefits under the provisions of this Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, a member who held office as a juvenile court judge or as a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts on July 1, 1980, shall not be required to retire, regardless of his age, according to the provisions of this subsection. (b) The maximum retirement benefits shall be based on twenty-two years of credita ble service and the attainment of age sixty-five. After completing such years of service and upon attaining age sixty-five, a member shall be entitled to retire and receive a monthly retirement benefit. Said monthly retirement benefit shall be an equal monthly installment of an annual retirement benefit computed on the basis of three percent of the member's average annual compensation, multiplied by his total number of years of creditable service, not to exceed 22 years. (c) After obtaining 22 years of creditable service, a member shall continue to make employee contributions as required by this Act, but the maximum retirement benefit shall be based on 22 years of creditable service. In the event a member continues in ser vice after obtaining 22 years of creditable service, his average annual compensation shall be computed on the basis of increases in compensation received after obtaining such 22 years of creditable service, subject to the requirements and limitations of subsection (g) of Section 2 of this Act. Section 19. (a) In lieu of retirement at the maximum benefits as provided by subsec tion (b) of Section 18 of this Act, a member may retire at any time after attaining age sixty and after obtaining a minimum of ten years of creditable service, and the monthly retirement benefit for such early retirement shall be computed on the same basis as retirement benefits are computed under subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act based on the number of years of creditable service obtained at the time of retirement. (b) A member may retire pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act or pur suant to subsection (a) of this Section by making written application to the Board of Trustees setting forth at what time, not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days subsequent to the filing of such application, he desires to be retired. Section 20. (a) After obtaining a minimum of ten years of creditable service, any member, regardless of his age, who shall become totally and permanently disabled to the extent that he is unable to perform the duties of his office shall be entitled to receive a disability retirement benefit. The monthly disability retirement benefit shall be calcu lated in the same manner as a service retirement benefit under subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act, except that such disabled member shall be entitled to receive a minimum disability retirement benefit which shall be equal to one-half of the maximum retirement benefit provided by subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act after 22 years' creditable service. (b) After obtaining a minimum of four years of creditable service, any member, regardless of age, who shall become totally and permanently disabled as a result of an act of external violence incurred in or as a result of the performance of the member's official duties, to the extent that the member is unable to perform the duties of his office, shall be entitled to receive a disability retirement benefit. The monthly disability retirement benefit shall be calculated in the same manner as a service retirement benefit under subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act, except that such disabled member shall 3632 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE, be entitled to receive a minimum disability retirement benefit which shall be equal to one-half of the maximum retirement benefit provided by subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act after 22 years' creditable service. (c) The disability of any member applying for disability retirement benefits and the continuation of such disability shall be determined by the Board in the same manner and under the same procedure as disability of State employees is determined in accor dance with the applicable provisions of the Act establishing the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, approved February 3, 1949 (Ga. Laws 1949, p. 138), as now or here after amended. Disability retirement benefits shall become payable within 30 days after such disability is determined by the Board as herein provided." Section 12. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 22 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 22, to read as follows: "Section 22. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of Section 16, if a member ceases to hold office as a juvenile court judge or a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts, he may withdraw the total sum, with interest, at the rate of six percent per annum, which he has paid into the Fund, but he shall not be eligible at any time after such withdrawal to become a member of the Fund, unless such member shall at a later date hold office as a juvenile court judge or a judge or solicitor of the inferior courts, in which event he shall be reinstated into the Fund in the same manner as if he had never before been a member of the Fund. Any such reinstated member shall have the privilege of reestablishing any prior creditable service by making reimbursement of the amount withdrawn plus interest within sixty days of the certification of such amount by the Board of Trustees." Section 13. Said Act is further amended by adding a new Section 22A between Sec tions 22 and 23, to read as follows: "Section 22A. (a) Except as otherwise provided by subsection (e) of this Section, a member of the Fund shall pay an employee contribution, in addition to the employee contribution required by subsection (a) of Section 13 and subsection (a) of Section 14 of this Act, of two and one-half percent of the salary paid to such member for spouses' benefits as provided hereinafter. The governing authority of each county shall be author ized to deduct monthly the employee contributions required herein for spouses' benefits. (b) If a member subject to this Section, who has attained a minimum of ten years of creditable service, dies, the surviving spouse of such member shall be entitled to receive for life or until the remarriage of such surviving spouse a monthly sum equal to fifty percent of the retirement benefit which the member was receiving at, the time of his death, if retired at such time, or which would have been payable to the member had he retired as of the date of his death or, if the member had not attained age sixty at the time of his death, fifty percent of the retirement benefit the member would have received had he lived and retired at age sixty. (c) Any juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts becoming a member of the Fund pursuant to Section 8 of this Act, who does not reject spouses' ben efits as provided by subsection (e) hereof shall pay to the Board, by not later than December 31, 1980, employee contributions at the rate specified by subsection (a) of this Section, plus interest thereon at the rate of six percent per annum, for all years of ser vice as a juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts on the basis of the salary paid to him at the time the service was rendered. (d) Any member of the Fund who rejects spouses' benefits coverage, or who ceases such coverage pursuant to subsection (j) of this Section, because such member was unmarried at the time of such rejection or because such member's spouse died or because such member ceased to be married shall have the option to elect spouses' bene fits within sixty days after becoming married or remarried, as the case may be. Any member so electing must make the necessary contributions for spouses' benefits coverage for a total of at least ten years in order for such member's spouse to qualify for the spouses' benefits provided for by this Section. (e) A member of the Fund shall have the right to reject the spouses' benefits pro vided by this Section by notifying the Board, in writing, of such rejection on a form to SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1980 3633 be supplied by the Board. Any juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts as of the effective date of this Act, wishing to reject such benefits, shall notify the Board of such rejection by December 31, 1980. Any juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts wishing to reject such benefits who subsequently becomes a member of the Fund shall notify the Board of such rejection within sixty days after becoming a member of the Fund. (f) It shall be the duty of the Board to notify juvenile court judges and judges and solicitors of the inferior courts who are subject to the provisions of this Act of the requirements of this Section. (g) Should there not be a surviving spouse of a member covered by this Section or if a member not covered by this Section should die before retirement, the amount of accumulated contributions made by such member, with interest thereon, shall be paid to his surviving spouse, if any, or to the living person, if any, nominated by written des ignation of the member duly executed and filed with the Board of Trustees, otherwise to the member's estate. (h) This Section shall not be construed to require the payment of the additional employee contribution of two and one-half percent for service as a juvenile court judge or judge or solicitor of the inferior courts rendered prior to December 31, 1980, except for those judges and solicitors subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section. (i) When a member elects to obtain spouses' benefits as provided herein and such member attains twenty-two years of creditable service for regular retirement pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 18 of this Act, such member shall continue to make employee contributions required herein for spouses' benefits until such time as such member attains twenty-two years of creditable service for the purpose of spouses' bene fits. (j) If the spouse of a member dies or if a member ceases to be married, then such member who has elected to obtain spouses' benefits pursuant to this Section may cease making the employee contributions for spouses' benefits required herein. Such member shall notify the Board of Trustees in writing to cease deducting such employee contribu tions within sixty days after the date of the death of the spouse or after the date the member ceases to be married, and upon such notification, no further deductions shall be made. When a member ceases to make such employee contributions as provided herein, there shall be no return of such contributions previously made by such member; provided, however, that if such member shall at a later date again become married, in which event all prior credit or employee contributions under this Section may be rein stated and the member making same shall have the privilege of reestablishing any prior creditable service by establishing eligibility of the new spouse as provided in this Section and giving proper notice to the Board of Trustees of his desire to reinstate same, paying all contributions which would have been due and payable under the provisions of this Section during the interim period between marriages, with proper interest thereon, and making all future payments as herein provided." Section 14. Said Act is further amended by adding a new Section 23A between Sec tions 23 and 24, to read as follows: "Section 23A. Any judge or solicitor of an inferior court, while receiving retirement pay, shall not be eligible for election or appointment to any other office in this State and may not engage in the private practice of law while receiving retirement pay unless he was authorized to engage in the private practice of law while first actively serving as such judge or solicitor." Section 15. This Act shall be effective for administrative purposes on July 1, 1980. For all other purposes, this Act shall become effective on December 31, 1980. Section 16.
