The following communication was received and read:

Office of the Governor Atlanta, Georgia 30334
April 14, 1980
Honorable Thomas B. Murphy Speaker, House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334

MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1981

Dear Speaker Murphy:
I have vetoed House Bills 206, 463, 895, 1099, 1121, 1153, 1210, 1301, 1500 and 1578 which were passed by the General Assembly of Georgia at the 1980 Regular Session.
Article V, Section II, Paragraph VI of the Constitution requires that I transmit such bills to you, together with a list of reasons for such vetoes. The bills and corresponding reasons for their veto are enclosed.
Sincerely, /s/George Busbee
GBxtl Enclosures cc: Honorable Zell Miller, Lieutenant Governor of Georgia Honorable Glenn W. Ellard, Clerk, House of Representatives Honorable Hamilton McWhorter, Jr., Secretary of Senate Honorable Frank H. Edwards, Legislative Counsel Honorable Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General Honorable David B. Poythress, Secretary of State
Veto No. 12 - H. B. 206 by Representative Pinkston of the 100th
House Bill 206 changes the venue for suits brought against corporations. During the legislative process an amendment inadvertently has permitted the possibility of a corporation being sued in contract in any county in which the corporation has an office even though that county has not the slightest nexus with the contract. This is an unwise circumstance; therefore, I have vetoed House Bill 206.
Veto No. 13 - H. B. 463 by Representatives Johnson of the 74th, Buck of the 95th, Wilson of the 19th and others
House Bill 463 amends the Act which provides for a health insurance program for public school employees to add to those eligible to participate in the program classroom aides, paraprofessionals and non-certified administrative and clerical personnel of all public school systems. Senate Bill 145 is an identical version of House Bill 463. Senate Bill 145 has been approved by me. Therefore, I have vetoed House Bill 463 to avoid an unnecessary duplication.
Veto No. 14 - H. B, 895 by Representatives Harris of the 8th, Battle of the 124th and Logan of the 62nd
House Bill 895 is designed to more clearly establish a public policy statement concerning the authority and responsibility of the State Board of Education to develop standards for programs in teacher certification. The original thrust of the bill espoused an acceptable philosophical approach to the solution of the problem presently being experienced and evoked by a proposed course of action by the State Board of Education in this regard. However, as the bill was subsequently amended and passed, it is my belief that more confusion concerning the issue would result if the bill were allowed to become law. Additionally, school systems would not be permitted to employ as teachers graduates of out-of-state colleges or universities unless such institutions are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Georgia presently recruits many talented teachers from out-of-state institutions who are not so accredited. The problems which subsequently arose by the re-writing of the original version of House Bill 895 were unintended. Prior to taking this veto action, I have counseled with those most closely affected and responsible for the programs and the consequences connected with the proposed solution embraced within House Bill 895 as introduced. I am persuaded that the difficulties which provoked the introduction of this bill are capable of resolve without the necessity of legislative intervention. If not, I will look with favor upon a proposal which does not contain the problems present in this bill.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Veto No. 15 - H. B. 1099 by Representatives Cason of the 96th, Buck of the 95th, Thompson of the 93rd and others
House Bill 1099 would establish criteria for programs of evaluation prior to implementation of certain projects to be undertaken by the Department of Medical Assistance which govern the reimbursement of licensed hospitals for the cost of providing medical assistance. This bill would severely impair the effectiveness of the State to design, develop and implement cost containment programs which are intended to help bring under control the costs of health services. The concerns of the hospital industry which provoked the introduction and passage of this legislation have been recognized and appropriate administrative actions have been implemented which will afford to the industry adequate opportunity to become informed of any proposed new policy or program, to submit their reaction and to adequately evaluate the impact upon the hospital's fiscal policy. With these safeguards, the constraints which would otherwise be imposed upon effective cost containment projects should not be permitted, and I have accordingly vetoed House Bill 1099.
Veto No. 16 - H. B. 1121 by Representatives Snow of the 1st, Murphy of the 18th and Thompson of the 93rd
House Bill 1121 was one of a package of bills sponsored by the Code Revision Commission preparatory to the adoption in 1981 of a new Code. Through inadvertence a perfecting amendment to the bill was omitted. Therefore, the author of House Bill 1121 has requested that I veto the bill because of technical problems which would have otherwise resulted if the measure were allowed to become law. I have acceded to the author's request.
Veto No. 17 - H. B. 1153 by Representatives Lambert of the 112th, Hatcher of the 131st, Nichols of the 27th and others
As a result of other legislative measures which have been adopted and approved at the 1980 session of the General Assembly, the responsibility for training fire fighting personnel previously exercised by the Georgia Fire Academy will be transferred to the Board of Public Safety. Eventually when constructed and completed, fire fighting personnel will receive their training at the proposed comprehensive public safety training facility to be located in Monroe County. House Bill 1153 was an administration bill to add as an additional member of the Board of Public Safety a fire fighter. The addition of a fire fighter to the Board would more than adequately have provided the necessary input of fire fighters' interests into the Board's responsibility concerning their training. Despite repeated agreements by these interests with me that one additional member was sufficient, House Bill 1153 was amended and passed to add two members to the Board of Public Safety to come from the membership of the Georgia State Firemen's Association. For the foregoing reasons, there will be no member of the Firemen's Association on the Board of Public Safety.
Veto No. 18 - H. B. 1210 by Representatives Buck of the 95th, Harris of the 8th and Daugherty of the 33rd
House Bill 1210 provides an increase of 15.5 percent in retirement benefits available to members of the Superior Court Clerks' Retirement Fund. No corresponding increase in member contributions to the retirement fund or other appropriate increase in measures which fund the payment of retirement benefits were accomplished. The maximum required employee contribution to the fund of $18.00 has not been changed in 17 years. Previously, I have given my approval to House Bill 104 which enhances the joint-survivorship benefits to recipients of benefits of the fund. Based upon sound actuarial projections, I am advised that if House Bill 1210 were also approved, the situation could arise that within one year the retirement fund could be experiencing unfunded liabilities. For these reasons I have not permitted House Bill 1210 to become law. I am informed that at the next session of the General Assembly, an actuarially sound program to increase retirement benefits for members of the Superior Court Clerks' Retirement Find will be introduced.
Veto No. 19 - H. B. 1301 by Representatives Burruss of the 21st, Carrell of the 75th and Marcus of the 26th

MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1981

43

House Bill 1301 is a comprehensive bill intended to provide through expanded training and new procedures an improved property tax administration. Many of the features of the bill are laudable and should result in better property tax administration; others, however, have the potential to be counterproductive to good tax administration and merit more intense scrutiny and evaluation before being allowed to become law. The more troublesome and disturbing features of the bill relate to a fundamental change and departure in the methods for the evaluation of public utility property. Presently the value of public utility property is determined by the State Revenue Commissioner and the State Board of Equalization, if the taxpayer is dissatisfied. House Bill 1301 allows for the first time local boards of tax assessors a voice in determining the value of the utility's property. This concept in and of itself is not the problem, but rather the manner in which local boards are given this authority and the implications which necessarily flow from the course embarked upon by the bill. Many questions are raised by the various provisions of the bill for which no answers are provided. Particularly troublesome is the unresolved question of what would be the proper venue for an appeal of the decision of the Board of Equalization if a local board of tax assessors has appealed the Revenue Commissioner's determination. The preoccupation which the potential for the large number of appeals which are made possible by this fundamental change in utility taxation could inhibit and indeed paralyze the Revenue Department's ability to administer the complex annual evaluation and assessment of public utility property in future years. If this were to occur, chaos and disaster could surface in many counties and municipalities if these local governments should be denied in a timely manner the vital and essential source of revenue which enables these units of governments to provide basic and essential governmental services. Before a change in direction of the magnitude contemplated within this legislation is embarked upon, the full impact and all possible implications should be thoroughly analyzed and evaluated and answers found for the questions raised for which there are presently no answers. Because the changes wrought by the bill insofar as public utility taxation are concerned would not become effective until the next calendar tax year, I deem it to be the more prudent and responsible position to afford to the Tax Reform Commission the time to reassess all of the implications in its recommended course of action contained within House Bill 1301 rather than dealing with potential problems as they might arise in the future and perhaps suffering the consequences which might be devastating. Accordingly, I have reluctantly vetoed House Bill 1301.
Veto No. 6 - H. B. 1500 by Representatives Childs of the 51st, Collins of the 144th and Williamson of the 45th
House Bill 1500 would require that a tax at the rate of one percent of the gross direct premiums received from life insurance policies written on persons who reside in the unincorporated areas of this State be levied and collected by each county governing authority. Each life insurance company would have been permitted to deduct from its obligation to pay a state premium tax a figure corresponding the tax directed to be levied by this bill. The State Treasury would thus lose an estimated 10 million dollars annually. The granting of a tax authority to counties at the expense of State revenues at this critical economic juncture is not prudent and is unwise, and I have therefore vetoed House Bill 1500.
Veto No. 20 - H. B. 1578 by Representatives Marcus of the 26th, Collins of the 144th and Harris of the 8th
House Bill 1578 requires that the Department of Medical Assistance formulate a plan which will allow Georgia residents who are 65 years or older regardless of their financial status to purchase prescription drugs for their use from pharmacists without paying the applicable State and local sales and use tax imposed upon the transaction. After properly maintaining the necessary tax records and accomplishing the requisite accounting procedures, the pharmacist may deduct from his State sales tax liability a figure which corresponds to the tax not paid on the purchase. The overall objective sought to be accomplished by the bill is to relieve the elderly of the burden, if any, of the sales and use tax which is otherwise applicable. Whether it can be argued successfully that the payment of a sales tax on prescription drugs is a burden to the well-to-do or extremely

44

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

wealthy elderly resident is doubtful. Unquestionably, the measure would provide some relief to low income elderly residents who are required to expend an inordinate amount of their disposable income on medicine. I am in complete sympathy with the desire to relieve this class of citizens of some of their tax burdens. I have previously approved of legislation which will allow those who qualify to defer a portion of their ad valorem property tax payments. Unfortunately, our Constitution prohibits the enactment of a scheme contemplated by House Bill 1578. Even though this measure, because of its unconstitutionality cannot be brought to fruition, the very same relief from any burden imposed upon the elderly by the sales tax on prescriptions can be afforded very simply and effectively without the necessity of imposing upon the pharmacist additional recordkeeping and accounting burdens by simply exempting such transactions from the sales and use tax.

Honorable Zell Miller Lieutenant Governor State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the directions of Article V, Section II, Paragraph II of the Constitution which requires that the Governor communicate to the General Assembly each case in which a suspension of the execution of a sentence of death has been granted, the following information is provided.
On March 11, 1976, Jack Howard Potts was sentenced to death following his conviction of the offense of kidnapping in the Superior Court of Cobb County, and on July 15, 1976, said subject was sentenced to death following his conviction of the offense of murder in the Superior Court of Forsyth County. On February 1, 1980, said subject was resentenced to death by order of each of said Superior Courts. On February 5, 1980, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles requested that I grant a stay of execution of 90 days in order that the Board might have sufficient time to investigate and hold a hearing for the purpose of determining whether said death sentences should be commuted. On February 13, 1980, the sentences of death imposed upon Jack Howard Potts were suspended by me for 90 days pursuant to the request of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.

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

STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS BY
GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE TUESDAY AT NOON, JANUARY 13, 1981 HOUSE CHAMBER STATE CAPITOL
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
I'd like to depart a bit from the traditional format for a State of the State address by deferring until the budget message a full recitation of our successes of the past year, and our needs and shortcomings in each area of government for the year ahead. Because if we don't make progress in what I am going to talk about today, then anything I outline to you in the budget won't much matter 20 years from now to the ladies and gentlemen who will be occupying your seats and mine.
Today, I'd like to discuss what I believe all Georgians hate and are thoroughly sick of. The Georgia people hate what this cruel and seemingly endless inflation is doing to them, and they are sick of government which helps create inflation by waste and inefficiency, and which adds to inflation's ravages through higher taxes, irresponsible policies, and disruptive, contradictory responses to our economic problems.
Our people have seen inflation cause prices to double in just ten years. Their takehome pay....in real dollars....has slipped back to what they were making in 1972. Yet, what you could buy in 1972 for about one dollar, now costs the average Georgian two dollars. Adequate housing is far beyond the reach of most young Georgians. Rising fuel costs have crimped an already shrinking pocketbook and have damaged many of our vital industries beyond repair. Food and clothing costs are double what they were for many commodities just five years ago.
Finally, Georgians who pay income taxes....state or federal....are and have been victims of a cruel, silent, secret tax increase each year as inflation exposes more and more of their

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1981

59

incomes to higher income bracket rates....while exemptions stay at virtually the same level as they were when enacted in 1955.
Along with inflation and the countless problems which attend inflation, the second great enemy perceived by the people of Georgia is unresponsive, irresponsible government. And although we in Georgia government may justifiably consider ourselves victims of Big Government in Washington, we'd just be fooling ourselves if we thought the people made any particular distinctions among federal, state and local governments in their desire to be left alone.
We can change this undifferentiated hostility to government in two ways: first, obviously enough, by setting a good example....by doing everything in our power to provide a truly effective, efficient and accountable state government. Second, and equally important, we must begin to clarify and define the proper roles and responsibilities of the various levels of government in a way that our people can clearly understand.
These two tasks, in my opinion, have become virtually inseparable, because it is increasingly difficult for you and me to perform our duties successfully without first doing something to correct the rampant irresponsibility of the federal government.
Let me first explain why it's important to clarify the proper roles of government. Our system of federalism is no longer characterized by different levels of government performing different, specifically defined functions. State and local governments are increasingly absorbed with the implementation of national policies, whether dictated by Congress, the courts, or the bureaucracy. You and I know....and the people of Georgia need to know....that the federal government lost touch years ago with any notion of limitation to purely national concerns, and now routinely intervenes in state and local matters.
I am very concerned with our own shrinking power vis-a-vis the federal government, and I am alarmed by the extent to which our limited powers and resources must be expended to implement or adjust to often irresponsible even accidental federal policies. Every day, the federal government imposes enormous obligations on states and localities with no provision for federal assistance, or even any recognition of the fiscal impact that those obligations carry.
Another disgusting and grossly inefficient federal trend is the proliferation of categorical grant programs, which now number 473 in just 29 functional areas. Of these 473 programs, the largest 19 consume 80 per cent of the total available funds for all categoricals. The largest 49 consume 90 per cent of available funds. This means that 10 per cent of all available categorical monies must fund 424 small, narrowly defined programs.
To me, no other aspect of current federal policy so graphically demonstrates the fragmented, irrational and inefficient course which federal expansion has taken. Categorical grants represent 473 isolated moments of monumental congressional resolve, frozen like fossils in a glacier of bureaucratic inertia; 473 signing ceremonies attended by representatives of thousands of interest groups which forever after regard those programs as "theirs."
During periods of fiscal restraint, these categorical grants are expecially immune because of the "iron triangle" which has grown up around them. The iron triangle's three points are first, the committee or subcommittee staffs in the Congress who champion these programs; second, the bureaucrats who administer them; and finally, the professionally organized constituent groups which lobby for the programs' continuation. Whenever one of these inefficient programs is attacked or threatened, these three points close to form an impenetrable iron triangle that is cemented by greed, power and selfishness.
A good example of this irresponsibility, and of its effect on state government, can be found in Congress' reaction last fall to the insistent public demand for fiscal responsibility. Typically, in reaction to this public pressure, Congress blamed the President....it blamed the states....it blamed everybody else....and it began a harem-scarem meat-ax slashing of the most politically vulnerable budget items, regardless of national priorities.

60

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

But let no one be misled by these ballyhooed budget cuts in Congress. Despite all the claims of tough-minded fiscal restraint and all the speeches about "biting the bullet," Congress made most of its cuts not in direct expenditures of the federal government....not in the hiring of bureaucrats or the exercise of those regulatory powers which make life so complicated for us all....but rather in grants-in-aid to state and local governments....in the money we receive to perform responsibilites which, in most cases, were imposed on us by the federal government in the first place. Congressmen may boast about all the "hard decisions" they made on the budget, but in fact most of the hard decisions were passed along to you and me.
As a result of these buck-passing congressional actions, many federal dollars we received last year will no longer be forthcoming. In Education, Georgia lost over $17 million in school lunch funds and over three-quarters of a million dollars for centers for the severely emotionally disturbed.
In Human Resources, funds for family health and tuberculosis control, for health grants-in-aid to counties, in Community Mental Health and Drug Abuse Centers all these funds and more are gone.
In Community Affairs, the State Crime Commission was abolished; substantial funds were slashed from Offender Rehabilitation, Pardon and Paroles, Natural Resources....and I could go on and on.
Most importantly, we lost $50,800,000 in Federal Revenue Sharing, which helped fund teacher retirement. From what we have been able to learn so far, the State of Georgia has lost a total of more than $124,883,000 in federal funds.
In short, Congress did three things to us. First, it cut almost all programs in which the states had some degree of flexibility, such as revenue sharing. Second, it passed-thebuck by cutting vulnerable state services, many of which are mandated by federal law, because it knew we had to continue them. Finally, in several cases, it changed the rules of the game in mid-stream. For example, this year we have to pick up an additional $2,465,000 in Medicaid costs because the matching-ratio was changed by Congress.
Because of this iron triangle in Washington, special interest aid still flourishes, and I am not aware of a single federal bureaucrat who lost his job due to these cutbacks. Congress has done nothing thus far but talk about ways to alleviate directly the injustices of inflation. So in addressing the problems facing Georgia during the next year, we start off at the losing end of a $124 million shell-game with which the budget cutting-magicians of Washington have tried to fool our people.
With this background, I hope you and all Georgians agree that it's time to sort out the proper roles and responsibilities of government, so that people can clearly understand what level of government should be held accountable for the management and expenditure of their tax dollars.
I said earlier that our response to inflation and economic dislocation and to the need for fiscal restraint could and should be more responsible than that of Congress....and as long as I am Governor....and you ladies and gentlemen are in this legislature....this is one state government that will be more responsive and responsible.
I don't claim that we are perfect. Far from it. But we have made remarkable progress that merits some trust and good faith....that merits some exception when people say they are sick of government.
In the last six years, we have completed our interstate system ahead of schedule. We have made tremendous strides in economic growth and development. We've become international in our outlook. Movies are being made in our hometowns. Our children have better and higher paid teachers and the quality of our education has improved markedly. We have a tremendous kindergarten program, rapid transit, expai'di ; ports, better public health care and recreation facilities, and on and on. These are state government provided

or supported services and benefits, and they have been made possible by this General Assembly within the framework of a balanced budget.
Contrast our record with what Congress has done of late, with its unlimited money printing presses and all the discipline one could find in 535 minnows in a bucket.
And now it's the state's turn to respond to the recent actions of the federal government. It's time to demonstrate that government can be respected. But let me tell you first what I hope we are not going to do. We are not going to wail and moan about this lost federal aid. Neither are we going to ignore needed services which were funded by these lost funds. We are not going to pass the buck to some other level of government. And finally, we are not going to let Congress take its feet from the fire and claim that willynilly across-the-board program cuts satisfy its duty to eliminate waste and inefficiency on the Potomac.
It is my great hope that we....you and I....are going to do what Congress should have done reevaluate every aspect of our budget and establish careful priorities and in so doing, we are going to pick up the federal slack in those programs which are truly needed by our people. We are going to stand on our own feet, without this federal aid, and instead of crying about inflation and recession and looking to others for help, we are going to do something about it.
With your help, we are going to enact the first major revision of our state income tax laws in 25 years by increasing the amounts of personal exemptions, allowances and deductions now in effect.
This tax reform....phased in over a three-year period and perhaps extended thereafter....will be in addition to the $75 million program of property tax relief now being funded for the second straight year through the State Board of Education, and which, incidentally, I am also recommending be continued again next year for the third time.
The new state tax relief program I am proposing would expand the portion of individual incomes shielded from taxation by increasing in a three-step annual sequence personal exemptions....exemptions for dependents....allowances for the aged and the blind....the standard deduction....and a low income credit. We haven't expanded our exemption, allowances and deductions except for a slight adjustment of the dependent's deduction since 1955, and take home pay for the average Georgian has been steadily eroded. We haven't addressed what inflation is doing to the incomes of married working couples. Now is the time to do it.
If enacted, the income tax relief would amount to $57 million in 1981....$77 million in 1982....and $97 million in 19834...or total tax relief of $231 million over a three-year period.
Every Georgian who now pays any amount of state income tax will get some relief. Details of this program will be outlined Thursday in my budget message to you.
While tax relief will be a major step in our response to the economic problems which beset our people, we must also exercise an unusual degree of care in allocation resources to traditional areas of concern. This allocating process will require a great deal of flexibility with, and wise management of, the limited resources available to us in these troubled and confusing times.
Although it often seems that the same programs need attention year after year....that some problems never go away....those of us in this room know that, in most cases, the dimensions of the problems today are drastically different.
Public education provides an excellent example of the manner in which the dimensions of problems change within program areas. Although the birth rate and the number of school-aged children have declined, average daily attendance in our public schools has actually increased slightly over the past 20 years.

62

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

But higher attendance and increased target populations require money. Likewise, college enrollment is stabilizing, but there are internal shifts, including a greater emphasis on graduate studies, which are going to require additional state dollars.
While we were progressive in completing our original principal interstate highway routes early with state bond funds which have since been totally refunded, with interest
many of our interstate highways are now showing wear and tear from hard usage over the years. This is going to require a new program of resurfacing.
In an effort to reduce the consumption of foreign oil, Georgia motorists are using less gasoline. They have been so conservation-minded that motor fuel tax collections, which are based on 7-Va cents per gallon, have been going down for a year-and-a-half. While this is good for our nation, it is insufficient for highway financing.
Economic development is great in producing jobs and bringing in new revenues for local governments. The other side of the coin is that it spawns a wide range of local needs such as improved water and sewer facilities. These needs are expensive.
The cost of health care is the fastest-growing expenditure of government. In fiscal year 1979 health care was estimated to have cost the state about $435 million. Expenditures will be in the neighborhood of $575 million in fiscal year 1982.
Health care is now consuming about 17 per cent or about one-sixth of the state budget. We must begin to address this problem, both at the federal and state levels.
There is another problem in connection with health care that particularly concerns me that is, the lack of sufficient doctors in rural areas while at the same time there is an over-supply of specialists concentrated in urban areas. In Georgia, 117 counties have been identified as medically underserved. Also, 81 counties show decreases in the rate of private physicians per 10,000 population from 1974 to 1980.
We have encouraged and supported the development of primary health care centers to increase the availability of quality care in areas where there are few or no doctors. And we have rapidly increased the Family Practice Residency Program in an effort to lure more doctors into serving in our rural areas.
With your assistance, we will be continuing our efforts toward this problem in the next two years.
Our prison system continues to be a major problem. While the prison population rises, we also face a court order to make improvements. During my years in office, we have committed almost $100 million to build new prisons or modernize our old facilities, and another $12 million will be needed to complete our work.
But instead of putting our total emphasis on incarceration, we are trying to seek alternatives to incarceration through the opening of more diversion centers and transition centers. As long as our crime rate remains high, we must incarcerate a large number of individuals, but we want to rehabilitate those inclined to rehabilitation and take the burden off of our prisons. It costs $36,000 a bed to build prisons, but only $7,800 per bed to build a diversion center.
One of our proudest achievements is in the area of attracting international investments to Georgia. But we have not done as much as we can to encourage export of more Georgia products. This year we plan to launch a major new export promotion program, which hopefully will stimulate a large number of our businesses and industries to explore the tremendous potential of foreign markets.
I believe we can accomplish all of these things and more. Together, we've tackled equally difficult tasks in the past.
Unfortunately, we also continue to administer with knee-jerk obedience the burdensome, ill-conceived, overlapping, confusing and often wasteful federal programs. We have

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1981

63

to fight daily with the bureaucrats on the Potomac, who dream up rules to run our lives as they see fit.
I don't mind....you don't mind....the Georgia people don't mind accepting responsibilities as long as we clearly understand them. We do not mind being held accountable for our actions, as long as we can have total control over those actions. But from this day forth, I am absolutely unwilling to sit back and have this legislature....this state government....or our people take the blame and abuse for problems generated, controlled, and exacerbated by the federal government.
I am fed up with being on the spinning end of the federal yo-yo, especially when we don't know who in Washington is pulling the strings. Moreover, I'm convinced that state government can not only earn the respect of our people, we can also collectively begin to straighten out the federal government.
In August of 1980 at the annual meeting of the National Governors' Association, the governors adopted the reform of the federal system as their top priority.
To me, federalism reform does not reflect the old notion of "states' rights" and all the political baggage that term carries. Rather, the nation's governors are calling for a restoration of the balance of powers among levels of government in our federal system and a clarification of accountability in carrying out our separate functions.
We in state government are not simply upset at our own loss of power. We are upset that federal intrusion into purely local and state matters, federally mandated responsibilities on state and local governments for purely national matters, and the insatiable federal appetite for new revenue sources, are all making it nearly impossible for us....as governors or legislators....to fulfill our own, independent duty to the people. And it behooves me to warn the people of Georgia that their dream of being free from government domination of their lives will not be realized unless something is first done to untangle the Gordian knot of different levels of government in this country.
Yet, it is not my purpose here today to cast all blame on the federal government.
I recognize clearly that there is no simple solution to sorting our proper governmental roles and responsibilities. We cannot overnight undo what has evolved over 40 to 50 years.
I am very encouraged by the attitude of President-elect Reagan on many of the issues we are concerned about, and this state government intends to work diligently and closely with him in preparing remedies to our problems. This pledge of close cooperation with the President-elect clearly transcends party lines and factional politics because we are concerned with and unanimously committed to maintaining the vitality and viability of states as they were constitutionally conceived.
On the other hand, as a start....and as a matter of survival....! believe that governors and legislators must lay aside any differences that we may have in the state houses and join together in a common effort toward restoring balance and understanding in our federal system regardless of the party controlling the White House or either House of Congress.
We can assert our new found "independence," certainly not to pull away from the nation, but rather to lead it. Working together, we can make Georgia an example to the country by recovering the federal fumble.
In November, at an historic meeting, the executive committee of the National Governors' Association and the steering committee of the National Conference of State Legislatures met to adopt a common agenda for federalism reform. At that meeting, we cast aside the notion that our destiny is in the hands of the federal government. We refused to accept the notion that state officials should become only clerks of the federal establishment.

64

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Today I ask you to join with me in carrying out the national agenda we have adopted. I want you to join me in petitioning Congress by resolution to enact legislation which will establish a process for categorical grant consolidation and a reduction of the number and cost of categorical grants.
I ask you to join me in support for enactment of fiscal note legislation which would require estimation, in advance, of the costs imposed on state and local governments in carrying out any federal mandates.
Moreover, at the meeting between the governors and state legislators, we agreed that it's time for all state officials to talk frankly with our senators and congressmen about the proper roles and responsibilities of the federal, state and local governments. For example, at the height of the invasion of Afghanistan, with inflation running rampant, I don't believe it was a proper federal function of the Congress to be discussing whether or not funds ought to be made available for jellyfish control.
Let me stress that no governor in this country....to my knowledge....has a closer rapport and working relationship with his congressional delegation than I do. And I know from talking with you, that our members in Congress have been most responsive to the individual problems we bring to them. What we have not done is talk to our delegation together....on the big picture....and on how we can improve tripartite cooperation and coordination among the three levels of government.
Thus, to begin this national sorting out process in the near future, I intend to ask the legislature, the Georgia Municipal Association, and the Association County Commissioners to join me in an invitation to all members of our congressional delegation to return to Georgia for a state convocation on federalism. Similar convocations will be held in every state.
Finally, I ask you to join me in a petition to Congress urging the passage of the so-called Ervin Bill as a constitutional amendment. This bill would forever remove the cloud of uncertainty that shrouds the states' ability to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the Constitution.
Presently, if a constitutional convention were called by the requisite number of states, total chaos would likely reign. Frankly, unless the roles of government are clarified "through negotiation with Congress, I fear that a convention in inevitable, as a last resort. We must be prepared to face any eventuality.
I know there are those who think the actions of one state will make no difference. Let me stress that we are not alone throughout this nation, state governments are just as frustrated as we are. And there are powerful forces equally delighted with the status quo
those who thrive, like vultures, on government waste and inefficiency who want our collective efforts to fail.
But I believe we will succeed because the people of this state and this country want to understand their government....they want their money's worth....and they want to once again be proud of what they see us do in their behalf.
These are challenging days ahead, and together....because the people are on our side....we will meet those challenges successfully and responsibly.
Thank you and Happy New Year to you and to all Georgians.

MEMORANDUM January, 1980
TO: Members of the General Assembly
FROM: Frank H. Edwards, Legislative Counsel
Re: Election of Members of the State Transportation Board
This memorandum is for the purpose of furnishing you information relative to the procedure for electing members of the State Transportation Board.
Code Section 95A-306 provides the composition of the board, the procedure for the election of members of the board, and other matters relative to the board. This Code section was enacted pursuant to an amendment to the Constitution which is now contained in Article IV, Section VIII, Paragraph I of the Constitution of 1976. The board is composed of ten members, one from each congressional district, with terms of five years. The terms are staggered so that two members of the board are elected each year. The members are elected by the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives from the senatorial and representative districts embraced or partly embraced within the particular congressional district. Those legislators meet in caucus during the first ten days of the regular session for the purpose of electing a member of the board. The Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, in a notice to the legislators, set the date, time, and place of the caucus which, in the past, usually has been held on Tuesday of the second week of the session.
Generally, the procedure for holding the caucus is as follows: (1) At the appointed hour the caucus is called to order by the President or the Speaker or on occasion, by the Legislative Counsel, with a statement as to the purpose of the caucus. The person who opens the caucus presides only until a chairman is elected. (2) The roll is called, usually by the Legislative Counsel. (3) The chair then entertains nominations for chairman of the caucus. It might be wise to point out here that some congressional districts have district legislative associations, and it is perfectly all right for the chairman of that association to preside at the

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1981

79

meeting of that particular caucus. However, there should be a formal nomination and election at the caucus because this is a caucus provided for by law to carry out a particular purpose and the district legislative association is an unofficial organization. Consequently, there should always be an election of a chairman of that caucus by the caucus itself. This is accomplished by nominations and seconds from the floor. After the chairman is elected, the opening presider steps down and the elected chairman presides for the remainder of the meeting.
(4) The chairman then entertains nominations for secretary of the caucus. This is accomplished by nominations and seconds from the floor in the same manner that the chairman was elected. It is not necessary that the secretary take any minutes unless the secretary so desires. The Legislative Counsel's office keeps records of the caucus and prepares all the pertinent material. It is necessary, however, that a secretary be elected in order that the secretary sign, along with the chairman, letters to the President and the Speaker stating who has been elected as a member of the Transportation Board from that particular district.
(5) The chairman will then usually see if there are any questions concerning the procedure involved in the election and, if so, the chairman or the Legislative Counsel will try to answer those questions.
(6) The chairman then entertains nominations for the member of the State Transportation Board for the particular district involved. There are then nominations and seconds from the floor and a vote is held at that time.
(7) Usually the person who is elected to the Transportation Board is near the room or chamber where the election is held and is invited to make a few brief remarks to the caucus.
(8) The chairman then states that a motion to adjourn will be entertained and the caucus is adjourned.
It seems advisable to call to the attention of members of the General Assembly a few points involved in the election of a member of the Transportation Board.
(1) Each member of the caucus has one vote. (2) It takes a majority of the total membership of all members of the caucus to elect a member of the board, not merely a majority of those present. For example, if the caucus has a total membership of 30, it takes the affirmative vote of 16 members to elect a member of the board. (3) A member of the caucus must be present in order to vote. There is no proxy voting. (4) The caucus can determine whether voting for a member of the board will be by show of hands or by secret ballot. (5) If several candidates are running, the caucus can determine in what manner a member is finally elected. For example, if five members are running, the caucus could decide that in the event no candidate received a majority of the votes of the total membership on the first vote, the two candidates receiving the most votes would be in a run-off election. On the other hand, the caucus could decide that in the event no candidate received a majority of the votes on the first ballot, the candidate receiving the lowest number of votes would be dropped each time until a candidate received a majority of the votes. (6) A pertinent provision of the law relative to the Transportation Board reads as follows:
"In the event any person who is an officer, agent, official, or employee of the State, or of any county, municipality or other political subdivision thereof, or who is a member of the General Assembly, is appointed or elected as a member of the board, such person must resign as such officer, agent, official, employee or member prior to taking office as a member of the board."
There are possibly other points which might arise, but hopefully this memorandum covers the main ones. If you have further questions, we shall be glad to attempt to answer them for you.

BUDGET ADDRESS OF
GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE THURSDAY AT NOON, JANUARY 15, 1981
HOUSE CHAMBER STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Ten days ago, I appeared before the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and outlined amended state budget recommendations for fiscal year 1981 now just past the midway point. Today it is my pleasure to discuss budget proposals for fiscal year 1982, beginning July 1.
Before discussing the specific details of the 1982 budget recommendations, I think it would be worthwhile to put both budgets into perspective as they relate to each other.
My recommendations for the remainder of this fiscal year are based on financing a backlog of construction projects in which the General Assembly has already demonstrated an interest and in meeting the essential needs of state government that were not anticipated a year ago.
For fiscal year 1982, my proposals focus on tax relief....cost of living raises....providing funds to help state agencies cope with inflation and some improvements in existing programs. There are no major new programs in my recommendations, and in 1982 there is very little capital outlay.
Since I outlined the amended budget, the pros and cons of bond financing for urgently needed construction projects have been a hot topic of discussion. The discussion at this point needs a little historical perspective. In looking at the amended budget recommendations for 1981, we first should examine closely what you and I together have been able to accomplish.

92

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

If there has ever been an area of state government in which the lid has been screwed down and sealed, it has been in the area of holding the line on the number of state employees and keeping bonded indebtedness under control.
When I took office, the bonded indebtedness stood at a level of 7.98 or in round figures, 8 per cent. If all of the projects that I have recommended for this year were approved, our debt service would stand at only 4.9 per cent of the prior year's treasury receipts, and this would decrease to 4.5 per cent in 1982.
Not only have we almost eliminated the issuance of bonds in the last few years, but we have cut down severely on the number of capital projects, many of which are long overdue and desperately needed.
Let's take a look at the capital outlay items we are considering for bond financing at this time. With the exception of the recommendations that I am making to improve our port facilities the principal and interest for which will be repaid by earnings from the ports and not with tax dollars we are recommending the go-ahead for projects which you have already approved in legislation or through planning and design funding in earlier budgets.
I am requesting $80 million to double the size of the World Congress Center in Atlanta, and you have already approved this project by authorizing $10 million in the existing budget. The existing budget also contains preliminary funding for the $10.8 million Gwinnett Area Vocational-Technical School. The General Assembly has already signified its interest in proceeding with a modern, well-equipped Public Safety Training Center, for which I am recommending $23 million in capital outlay funds. With your approval, the planning and design work has already been accomplished for a $12.4 million GBI complex and new state crime laboratory.
The only other capital outlay items we are recommending with bonds are for $80 million for public schools and $40 million for University System construction.
A needs survey in public schools which you authorized indicates that we could spend over a billion dollars on public school construction and still not meet all the needs. When you look at this survey, $80 million is a mere pittance.
I ask that you examine the public school and University System building needs in your own districts and determine for yourselves where you would cut.
Let me reiterate that planning and design has been completed on these non-school projects under prior authorization of the General Assembly and inflation in the construction industry continues to outpace the general rate of inflation in the economy. I ask that you consider what the cost of these projects would be if we waited until cash became available to proceed. I ask you to use sound business judgment in deciding whether these agencies should be denied these improvements and the space these projects would provide while we attempt to accumulate the cash in the face of inflation and competing needs for funding.
Not only have we had a moratorium on bonds in recent years and paid cash for construction projects when cash was available, but we went a dramatic step further than the normal payment on our bonded indebtedness. We took the advanced interstate construction payback money we received from the Federal Highway Trust Fund and actually retired old school bonds. This is why we can proceed with the projects I have just outlined and still be committed for bonds to only 4.5 per cent of prior year's revenues instead of the 8 per cent which existed when I took office.
Finally, I ask that you bear in mind our triple A rating on the bond market which invariably brings us the most favorable interest rate of any governmental entity in the country....and the fact that leading economists in the state have publicly declared that financing these needs through bonds is wise and sound in this economy.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1981

93

For fiscal year 1982, I am proposing a budget totaling $3,419,011,890.45 an increase of $379,590,933.45 over the current 1981 budget. My recommendations do not include the proposed income tax relief program as a budget item. I have, however, adjusted my revenue estimate to take into consideration the loss of $74 million that would be required to provide income tax relief from this past January 1 until June 30, 1982.
So everyone can easily understand what is involved, I have projected revenue collections both under the present tax laws and under revised tax laws.
If we make no change in individual income tax laws, revenue collections in 1982 would total $3,423,000,000 an increase of 12.2 per cent over the revised estimate for 1981. If the General Assembly approved the income tax relief program, the state will collect $3,352,500,000 an increase of 9.9 per cent over the revised 1981 estimate.
I want to caution, however, that you must consider both the supplemental budget and the F.Y. 1982 budget together. To be able to provide tax relief and pay raises, it is imperative that the General Assembly carry forward into 1982 the surplus of $66.5 million that my budget recommendations envision at the end of the current fiscal year. If this money is spent this year, tax relief and pay raises would be jeopardized.
It has been 25 years since we made any substantive changes in our individual income tax laws. Over that period, inflation has driven up prices so swiftly that each dollar of 1955 is now worth only 32 cents.
Under the 1955 law, an amount of income thought necessary for a minimal level of living was shielded from taxation by a set of personal exemptions....dependents' allowances....allowances for the aged and blind....and a standard deduction.
The proposal I have introduced seeks to restore exemptions and allowances so that something approaching the 1955 portion of individual income Would be shielded from state income taxation. These income exclusions would be raised by between 33-Vs and 50 per cent for all Georgians who currently pay income taxes.
This three step program to grant $231 million in income tax relief is not an idea which I alone generated. I have worked very closely with the Tax Reform Commission, and have shared my concern about the effects of inflation on our income taxpayers. I have met informally with leaders of the Tax Reform Commission, who agreed with the magnitude of the income tax relief I am recommending. They further agreed that we should place some time limitation of approximately three years on this relief, so the General Assembly might look at the economy perodically while at the same time avoiding the necessity of passing annual income tax laws.
There has been some difference of opinion on how much tax relief should be afforded by exemptions....how much recognition should be given to large families....how much should be given for married couples....and how much consideration should be given for jumps in brackets resulting from inflation. These are details to be worked out, but as far as the magnitude and the need for periodic review are concerned, I think we can agree on these principles.
There is no doubt that Georgia taxpayers are anticipating some relief from inflation in our income tax laws to put the reins on this silent tax increase they are experiencing.
The cost-of-living pay raises I am proposing will cost $144,978,201, which is 38 per cent of the total new funding in the 1982 budget. An 8 per cent salary increase would be effective September 1, 1981 for public school teachers and other instructional and support personnel, as well as the same raise for school bus drivers, effective July 1, 1981.
An 8 per cent increase would be effective September 1, 1981 for academic personnel in our University System and July 1, 1981 for non-academic personnel.
State employees would get a 7 per cent increase, with a $700 minimum, effective July 1, 1981.

94

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Considering that inflation is still in the 12 to 13 per cent range, these are minimum increases that we should consider for our teachers and state employees.
For our public schools, I am recommending the largest sum of new money going to any agency a total of $60,525,086, excluding the pay raise fund.
Most of this increase obviously reflects inflation, and the only improvement of any major significance is $5,874,789 for compensatory education to help ninth graders who have achieved less than 70 per cent of the reading or math objectives on the eighth grade criterion referenced tests.
I know that you are aware of the discussions about social promotions and automatic graduations. Our State Board of Education has made it clear that it is going to require that high school students pass all the competency-based high school graduation requirements if they are to receive a diploma. In Florida and other states, there have actually been court decisions ordering remedial instruction if social promotions are to be eliminated. The class of 1985, our eighth graders of today, will be the first to fulfill all these requirements on attendance, Carnegie units and demonstrated competency in adult life skills, as learner, individual, citizen, consumer and producer.
The funds I am proposing will provide additional instructional help to those ninth graders in fiscal year 1982 so that they will have a better opportunity to meet the examination aspect of the competency-based graduation. Legally and morally, it is necessary for us to provide this compensatory education if we are going to require these competencybased tests for graduation.
To help meet the cost of inflation and provide improvements, I am also recommending for our public schools $9,532,000 to increase maintenance and operations funds from $1,800 to $2,000 per state allotted instructional unit...an increase in instructional media from $400 to $450 per unit....$6,596,692 to provide a number of improvements in vocational education....$6,987,482 for increased pupil transportation expenses and $925,144 to purchase new buses. I am also recommending $1,666,375 to fund 110 special education vacancies.
Also, the $75 million in property tax relief started in fiscal year 1980 is being continued and is channeled to local boards of education through the State Board of Education.
For the University System, I am recommending an increase of $31,042,795, with most of these funds allocated to the formula which provides a lump sum appropriation for direct operation of the state's 33 colleges and universities.
One improvement item is $1.7 million in state funds to be added with federal government and Georgia Tech funds to construct a $5.1 million Advanced Technology Development Center near Georgia Tech.
For the state's Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program, I am recommending $7,664,025 in state funds to increase the present standard of need payments from 85 to 95 per cent. For a family of four, this would represent an 11.9 per cent increase in benefits. Besides the benefits increase, these funds would also provide for a continuing growth in the number of AFDC recipients.
Also for the Department of Human Resources, I am recommending $2,245,000 for renovations to the Gracewood State School and Hospital to meet ICF/MR standards.
For 1982, I am recommending that the state's mental health budget be increased over $12.2 million from its current 1981 level. Included in this increase are a number of improvements which I feel are vital to the further advancement of Georgia's mental health and mental retardation services.
To help meet problems in our prisons and comply with a court order to improve the conditions of our institutions, I am recommending a budget increase of $14,132,034 for the

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1981

95

Department of Offender Rehabilitation. These are basically program increases that complement my recommendations in the amended 1981 budget for a cash outlay of $31.3 million for construction projects.
It will be necessary that we fund two new prisons that recently opened in Savannah and Atlanta. The first full year funding in 1982 will require appropriations of $4,743,716 to house 1,219 inmates.
Medicaid is one of the fastest rising programs in state government. It is necessary for me to request the appropriation of $200,253, 912 in 1982 to operate this program. When combined with federal funds, the total cost of Medicaid next year will be $641,152,137. The state portion of 1982 expenses represents an increase of $32,462,239 over the present Appropriations Act before any supplemental funds are taken into consideration. It is $85,278,821 more than we spent in 1980.
When you consider that the Medicaid program was only started in 1968 with state funds of $7.8 million, the meteoric growth of this program is obvious.
Of the recommended state funds for 1982, $195,752,900 are for benefits. This is an increase of 19.4 per cent over fiscal year 1981. The increase is primarily due to rising costs of medical care, increased utilization of services and a reduction in federal financial participation.
That reduction translates into $2,465,000 in additional state funds required in 1982 for the same level of service. If the federal government had retained its same participation rate that was in effect when Medicaid started in 1968, Georgia's share of the program would be $40 million less next year. These are funds that could have been spent on other programs.
Through a combination of additional user fees and new state funds, we are proposing substantial increases in services provided our citizens by the Department of Natural Resources. Of an increase of $8,845,413 in the department's budget for 1982, some $4.5 million would come from increased user fees, including a proposal before the General Assembly to increase hunting and fishing license fees by $3.5 million.
This $3.5 million would be used to improve game and fish programs. If the fees aren't approved by the General Assembly, the program improvements would be deleted from the budget. An additional $1 million increase already imposed by the Board of Natural Resources in new park fees would be utilized for improving services at state parks and historic sites.
Almost $3 million in the department's recommendations are actually pass-through funds....including $2 million for Jekyll Island for improving existing facilities to attract more visitors....and $907,788 for the Great Park Authority, Great Park funding would provide a full-time staff, $400,000 to design an amphi-theater and $200,000 for intra-park transportation and security to promote public use.
Another $2 million in state funds is recommended for a major expansion at Unicoi State Park to make this park self-sufficient.
For the Department of Public Safety, I am recommending funds to replace 249 cars, to pay for higher motor fuel costs and to add ten troopers to the metro traffic enforcement unit that patrols the interstate highways in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. By aiding the police personnel of Atlanta in this duty, it is anticipated that the city can shift the officers now assigned to this function to higher priority criminal investigation duties.
In summary, some other recommendations include:
$1,606,000 to increase tuition equalization grants from $600 to $700.
$6,377,000 to improve retirement benefits for Georgia teachers including raising the minimum retirement formula factor from 1.88 to 1.92 per cent....providing automatic

96

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

cost-of-living increases to retirees of local systems and raising the minimum floor for retirement benefits from $10 to $12 times the number of years of service.
$13 million to increase employer contributions to the state employee health insurance programs because of increased usage and costs of the program.
$1,346,963 to increase mileage reimbursement from 18 to 20 cents per mile due to the increased cost incurred by state employees who must use their private cars on state business.
$2,701,505.45 for increases in workers compensation payments.
In drafting my budget recommendations, there was one problem that particularly bothered me as I mentioned in the State of the State address....and that is the large amount of federal funds dropping out. This problem seems to worsen every year.
In fiscal year 1982, we are losing almost $125 million in federal funds, including $50.8 million in revenue sharing. Since revenue sharing funds have been used to help pay the state's share of retirement benefits for teachers, it is necessary to supplant these with state funds.
Now I want to tell you about the remaining $74 million in federal funds that are dropping out. I told you that there are programs formerly financed by these funds which will be eliminated or drastically reduced, and that you could expect to hear some cries of anguish. You will find in my budget document that I have only recommended that you fund $8.4 million of these $74 million federal cuts.
You have heard me say many times that we were going to have to bite the bullet, but these were federal bullets that we did not mold.
In closing, I would like to inject a word of caution about the Superior Court ruling last week relating to the funding of public education in Georgia.
This decision was by a trial court and whether it will be upheld by the Supreme Court is far from being a certainty. Even if it were to be affirmed, it would not become effective, according to the terms of the order, for two years and four months from January 7.
The General Assembly has been responsible in the past in reacting to and complying with the many court decisions we have had to face.
You will recall the decision by the Supreme Court that declared unconstitutional the local option sales tax. This drastically affected the tax base of many of our cities and counties.
We had doomsday cheerleaders then who advocated the abandonment of local option sales tax.
We put together a great team of constitutional lawyers to draft a new local option sales tax. Despite the dire warnings of unconstitutionality by the doomsday cheerleaders, you passed a new local option sales tax. The Supreme Court upheld your work, and our people will enjoy this alternative to property taxation for years to come.
I am not suggesting that you put the problem raised by this new lower court order on the back burner, but neither do I think we ought to put all other needs of our state on the back burner either. If it is necessary to make any changes in the funding of public education we have two more sessions to work on the problem.
The budget proposals that I have submitted to you last week and which I am making today should be considered on their own merit. They should not be shunted aside and forgotten because we might have to consider new education funding priorities at some future date.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1981

97

As we have done with all problems over the past six years, we will address thex full extent of this problem when we know completely what is involved.
I've submitted budget recommendations to you today which I feel are prudent and responsible. I know that we have not met all the state's needs and that we have not kept up with inflation in every category of state government. But neither have the taxpayers of this state, in meeting the needs of their families, been able to keep up with inflation. State government has to continue coping like ordinary people who pay their bills and don't have anything left over for frills.
Government cannot be all things to all people, but it can strike a balance between improvements to benefit the lives of Georgians and the need to simply pay the bills in a period of unrelenting inflation.

Senator Allgood of the 22nd moved that the Joint Session of the General Assembly be now dissolved and the motion prevailed.

(b) A copy of the verified statement, together with a notice of hearing in the form hereinafter prescribed, shall be served on the defendant, and such service shall be suffi cient to give the court jurisdiction in the premises.

(c) If the plaintiff fails to appear, the case may be dismissed for want of prosecution, or defendant may proceed to a trial on the merits, or the case may be continued as the judge may direct. If both parties fail to appear, the judge may continue the case, or order the same dismissed for want of prosecution, or make any other just and proper disposition thereof, as justice may dictate.

When a judgment is to be rendered and the party against whom it is to be rendered requests it, the judge shall inquire fully into the earnings and financial sta tus of such party and shall have full discretionary power to stay the entry of judgment, and to stay execution, and to order partial payments in such amounts, over such periods, and upon such terms, as shall seem just under the circumstances and as will assure a defi nite and steady reduction of the judgment until it is finally and completely satisfied.
Section 13. The judge of the superior court presiding in Lee County may from time to time make rules for a simple, inexpensive, and speedy procedure to effectuate the pur poses of this Act and shall have power to prescribe, modify and improve the forms to be used therein, from time to time, to ensure the proper administration of justice and to accomplish the purposes hereof.

Whenever served in person by a court officer as aforesaid, such officer shall enter his return of services either on the back of the original garnishment affidavit, or the attach ment writ or on the back of a conformed copy of the original summons of garnishment which was given to the garnishee, or such entry of service may be made on a separate paper and attached to the said garnishment affidavit or the writ of attachment, as the case may be.

HB 152. By: Representatives Irvin of the 10th, Reaves of the 147th, Ralston of the 7th, Balkcom of the 140th, Moody of the 138th and others: A BILL to regulate and require licensing of all persons engaged in the business of dealing in exotic or pet birds; and for other persons.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To regulate and require licensing of all persons engaged in the business of dealing in exotic or pet birds; to provide a short title; to define terms; to state legislative findings; to declare crimes; to require certain records; to provide for seizure and destruction of birds; to provide for regulation of the transfer of birds; to provide for rules, regulations, jurisdiction, and enforcement procedures; to provide for all related matters; to repeal con flicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the "Bird Dealers Licensing Act."
Section 2. Findings. The General Assembly finds that the sale of exotic and pet birds presents a serious potential hazard to the health of livestock and humans due to the

232

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

potential of transmission of disease by birds. The General Assembly further finds that reg ulation of bird dealers is a necessary means of minimizing this hazard.
Section 3. Definitions. The following words shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
(1) "Bird dealer" means any person engaged in the business of dealing in, purchas ing, or offering for sale (whether at wholesale or retail) any exotic or pet birds or birds customarily kept as pets.
(2) "Department" means the Department of Agriculture. (3) "Person" means any individual, firm, partnership, corporation, estate, trust, fiduciary, or other group or combination acting as a unit.
Section 4. License required, (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to act as a bird dealer unless such person has a valid bird dealer's license. Acting as a bird dealer without a license in violation of this subsection constitutes a misdemeanor.
(b) The Department of Agriculture shall license bird dealers under the applicable provisions of the "Department of Agriculture Registration, License, and Permit Act," approved March 10, 1966 (Ga. Laws 1966, p. 307), as now or hereafter amended.
(c) Bird dealers' licenses shall be issued for a period of one year and shall be annual ly renewable. The department may establish separate classes of licenses, including whole sale and retail licenses. The department shall fix fees for licenses so that the revenue derived from licenses shall approximate the total direct and indirect costs of administering this Act.
Section 5. Required records, (a) Every bird dealer shall keep records sufficient to identify:
(1) Each exotic or pet bird in his possession or sold by him; (2) The name, address, and telephone number of the person from whom each such bird was acquired and, if that person is a licensed bird dealer, then his license number or, if that person is not a licensed dealer, then his driver's license number; (3) The name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom each such bird is transferred and, if that person is a licensed bird dealer, then his license num ber or, if that person is not a licensed bird dealer, then his driver's license number; and (4) Any such bird which the dealer knows to be or have been sick or diseased or to have died. (b) The department may require periodic reports of any or all of the records required by subsection (a) of this section. The department may require the keeping of additional records; and all required records shall be made available for inspection by the department. (c) Failure to keep or make available any required records shall be grounds for revo cation of a license.
Section 6. Seizure and destruction of birds. The department may seize and destroy any birds which present a hazard of carrying disease. The department may pay an indem nity to the owner of any seized or destroyed birds from any federal funds made available for that purpose or any state funds hereafter appropriated for that purpose.
Section 7. Regulation by the Department of Human Resources. If the Department of Human Resources elects to regulate the sale or transportation of exotic or pet birds under the authority of Code Section 88-1205, then the Department of Human Resources shall cooperate with the Department of Agriculture in developing and implementing such regulation.
Section 8. Rules and regulations. The Commissioner of Agriculture may make any rules and regulations not inconsistent with this Act governing dealing in or transportation of exotic or pet birds.
Section 9. Jurisdiction over nonresidents. Any person not a resident of this state who solicits sales of, orders, sells, buys, transfers, or acquires exotic or pet birds in this state

FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1981

233

shall be subject to this Act as to such activities. Any person not a resident of this state who ships exotic or pet birds into or through this state shall be subject to this Act as to such activities.
Section 10. Enforcement procedure, (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever it may appear to the Commissioner of Agriculture, either upon investigation or otherwise, that any person has engaged in, or is engaging in, or is about to engage in any act, practice, or transaction which is prohibited by any law or regulation governing activi ties for which a license from the Department of Agriculture is required by this Act, wheth er or not the person has so registered or obtained such a license or permit, the Commissioner of Agriculture may issue an order, if he deems it to be in the public interest or necessary for the protection of the citizens of this state, prohibiting such person from continuing such act, practice, or transaction or suspending or revoking any such registra tion, license, or permit held by such person.
(b) In situations where persons otherwise would be entitled to a hearing prior to an order entered pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10, the Commissioner of Agricul ture may issue such an order to be effective upon a later date without hearing unless a person subject to the order requests a hearing within ten days after receipt of the order. Failure to make the request shall constitute a waiver of any provision of law for a hearing. The order shall contain or shall be accompanied by a notice of opportunity for hearing stating that a hearing must be requested within ten days of receipt of the notice and order. The order and notice shall be served in person by the Commissioner of Agriculture or his agent or by certified mail, return receipt requested. In the case of an individual reg istered with or issued a license or permit by the Department of Agriculture, receipt of the order and notice will be conclusively presumed five days after the mailing of the order by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address provided by such person in his most recent registration or license or permit application.
(c) In situations where persons otherwise would be entitled to a hearing prior to an order, the Commissioner of Agriculture may issue an order to be effective immediately if the Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an act, practice, or transaction is occurring or is about to occur; that the situation constitutes a situation of imminent peril to the public safety or welfare; and that the situation therefore requires emergency action. The emergency order shall contain findings to this effect and reasons for the determina tion. The order shall contain or be accompanied by a notice of opportunity for hearing which may provide that a hearing will be held if and only if a person subject to the order requests a hearing within ten days of the receipt of the order and notice.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Local Mental Health and Mental Retardation Governance Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Georgia Code Section 88-2 invests responsibility in the county boards of health for the governance of local services to the mentally ill, the mentally retarded, and persons abusing alcohol and other drugs; and
WHEREAS, the boards of health in 27 counties provide services to the remaining 132 counties through contract, thereby accepting a disproportionate share of the liability for such services; and
WHEREAS, as of December 19, 1979, county governing authorities contributed only 7 percent or $6,245,719.00 of a total dollar investment of $90,510,937.00; and
WHEREAS, county boards of health services to the mentally ill, mentally retarded, and alcohol and drug abusers are controlled to a large extent by Department of Human Resources and United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare policies, stan dards, and rules and regulations; and
WHEREAS, recent trends in deinstitutionalization of formerly hospitalized persons have resulted in an increased pressure on county governments to create new services; and
WHEREAS, one county board of health has terminated its responsibility for mental health, mental retardation, and alcoholism and drug abuse services out of concern for its liability, thereby causing the Division of Mental Health and Mental Retardation in the Department of Human Resources to assume responsibility with the approval of the Gover nor as provided in Georgia Code Section 88-615; and
WHEREAS, other county boards of health have voiced concern about matters relating to local governance, local liability, and local management; and

(6) 'Representative' is a person authorized by a resident or his guardian to act for the resident as an official delegate or agent. 88-1903B. Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds that persons residing within long-term care facilities are isolated from the community and often lack the means to assert fully their rights as individual citizens. The General Assembly further recognizes the need for these persons to live within the least restrictive environment possible in order to retain their individuality and personal freedom. It is therefore the intent of the General Assembly to preserve the dignity and personal integrity of residents of longterm care facilities through the recognition and declaration of rights safeguarding against encroachments upon each resident's need for self-determination. It is the further intent of the General Assembly that this Act complement and not duplicate or substitute for other survey and inspection programs regarding long-term care facilities. Every effort shall be made to use the long-term care ombudsman, pursuant to Code Chapter 28-19A, to resolve complaints related to resident's rights.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

88-1917B. Rights relating to transfer or discharge, (a) Except in an emergency, where the resident or other residents are subject to an imminent and substantial danger that only immediate transfer or discharge will relieve or reduce, a facility may involuntarily transfer a resident only in the following situations and after other reasonable alterna tives to transfer have been exhausted:
(1) A physician determines that failure to transfer the resident will threaten the health or safety of the resident or others and documents that determination in the resident's medical record. If the physician determines that the facility cannot provide
care, treatment, and services which are adequate and appropriate, it shall be conclu sively presumed that the failure to transfer will threaten the health or safety of the resident. If the basis for the transfer or discharge is the safety of the resident himself, the resident shall not be involuntarily transferred or discharged unless a physician determines that such transfer or discharge is not reasonably expected to endanger the
resident to a greater extent than remaining in the facility and documents that deter mination in the resident's medical records.
(2) The facility does not participate in, or voluntarily or involuntarily ceases to operate or participate in, the program which reimburses for the resident's care.
(3) Nonpayment of allowable fees has occurred. The conversion of a resident from private pay status to Medicaid eligibility due to exhaustion of personal financial resources, or from Medicare to Medicaid, does not constitute nonpayment of fees under this Code section.
(4) When the findings of a Medicare or Medicaid medical necessity review deter mine that the resident no longer requires the level of care provided at the facility.
(b) If the facility voluntarily or involuntarily ceases to operate or participate in the program which reimburses for the resident's care, the facility must cooperate fully with the State Medicaid Agency and the Health Care Financing Administration Regional Office in the implementation of any transfer planning and transfer counseling conducted by these agencies.
(c) The facility shall assist the resident and guardian in finding a reasonably appro priate alternative placement prior to the proposed transfer or discharge. The plan for such transfer or discharge shall be designed to mitigate the effects of transfer stress to the resident. Such plan shall include counseling the resident, guardian, or representative regarding available community resources and informing the appropriate state or social
service organization. (d) The facility must notify the resident, guardian or representative, and attending
physician at least 30 days before any involuntary transfer, except as specified in para graph (4) of subsection (a) of this Code section. This notice must be in writing and con tain:
(1) The reasons for the proposed transfer;
(2) The effective date of the proposed transfer;
(3) Notice of the right to a hearing pursuant to Code Section 1922B and the right to representation by legal counsel; and
(4) The location to which the facility proposes to transfer the resident.
(e) The resident shall receive at least 15 days' notice prior to an involuntary
intrafacility transfer.
(f) If two residents in a facility are married and the facility proposes to transfer involuntarily one spouse to another facility at a similar level of care, the facility must give the other spouse notice of his or her right to be transferred to the same facility. If the spouse notifies a facility in writing that he wishes to be transferred, the facility must transfer both spouses on the same day, pending availability of accommodations.
(g) Each resident shall be discharged from a facility after the resident or guardian gives the administrator or person in charge of the facility notice of the resident's desire to be discharged and the date of the expected departure. Where the resident appears to be incapable of living independently of the facility, the facility shall notify the Department of Family and Children Services in order to obtain social or protective assistance for the resident immediately. The notice of the discharge by the resident or guardian, the expected and actual date thereof, and notice to the department where

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1981

597

required shall be documented in the resident's records. Upon such discharge and, if required, notice to the department, the facility is relieved from any further responsibility for the resident's care, safety, or well-being.
(h) Whenever allowed by the resident's health condition, a resident shall be provided treatment and care, rehabilitative services, and assistance by the facility to prepare the resident to return to the resident's home or other living situation less restrictive than the facility. Upon the request of the resident, guardian, or representative, the facility shall provide him with information regarding available resources and inform him of the appropriate state or social service organizations.
(i) Each resident transferred from a facility to a hospital, other health care facility, or trial alternative living placement shall have the right to return to the facility immedi ately upon discharge from the hospital or other health care facility or upon termination of the trial living placement, provided that the resident has continued to pay the facility or third-party payment is provided for the period of the resident's absence. In cases of nonpayment to the facility during such absence, a resident who requests to return to a facility from a hospital shall be admitted by the facility to the first bed available after discharge from the hospital.

During the period of his employment and for a period of one year following the termination of his employment, it shall be unlawful for any person employed as Consumers' Utility Counsel to hold any elected office of this state or any county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state.

Section 5. (a) In addition to other requirements of service and notice now imposed by law, a copy of any application, correspondence, complaint, pleading, paper, or notice to or issued by the Georgia Public Service Commission shall also be served on the Con sumers' Utility Counsel. The Commission shall not proceed to hear or determine any peti tion, complaint, or proceeding in which the Consumers' Utility Counsel is entitled to appear unless it shall affirmatively appear that the Consumers' Utility Counsel was given at least ten days' written notice thereof, unless such notice is affirmatively waived in writ ing or the Consumers' Utility Counsel appears and specifically waives such notice.
(b) The Consumers' Utility Counsel is hereby authorized to take depositions and obtain discovery of any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in any proceeding or petition before the Public Service Commission in the same manner and subject to the same procedures which would otherwise be applicable if such proceeding was then pending before a superior court.

If the unauthorized act or transfer sought to be
enjoined is being, or is to be, performed or made pursuant to any contract to which the electric membership corporation is a party, the court may, if all the parties to the contract are parties to the action and if it deems the same to be equitable, set aside and enjoin the performance of such contract and, in so doing, may allow to the electric membership corporation or to the other parties to the contract, as the case may be, compensation for the loss or damage sustained by either of them which may result from the action of the court in setting aside and enjoining the performance of such contracts; but anticipated profits to be derived from the performance of the contract shall not be awarded by the court as a loss or damage sustained.

Limitations as to actions growing out of acquisition of rights of way, etc.; damages recoverable. All rights of action accruing against any electric membership cor
poration growing out of the acquisition of rights of ways, easements, or the occupying

764

The articles of incorporation or bylaws may also provide criteria, procedures for, and limitations upon the transfer, classifica tion, and termination of memberships in an electric membership corporation.
34C-502. Liability of members. A member shall not, solely by virtue of his status as such, be liable for the debts of an electric membership corporation; and the property of the member shall not, solely by virtue of his status as such, be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution, or other collection procedure for such debts.
34C-503. Voting by members, (a) A member shall be entitled to only one vote in the exercise of the person's rights as a member of an electric membership corporation.
(b) No member shall have the right to cumulate his votes by giving one candidate a vote or votes equal to his vote multiplied by the number of directors to be elected or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of such candi dates.
(c) The chairman of the board, president, any vice president, the secretary, or the treasurer or other officer of a corporation, club, school, church, or unincorporated associ ation which is a member of an electric membership corporation shall be deemed by the electric membership corporation to have authority to vote such membership and to exe cute proxies and written waivers and consents in relation thereto, unless before a vote is taken or a waiver or consent is acted upon it is made to appear by a certified copy of the bylaws or resolution of the board of directors, executive committee, or other gov erning body of the corporation, club, school, church, or unincorporated association hold ing such membership that such authority is vested in some other officer or person. In the absence of such certification, a person executing any such proxy, waiver, or consent or presenting himself at a meeting as one of such officers of such a member shall, for the purpose of this Code section, be deemed prima facie to be duly elected, qualified, and acting as such officer and to be fully authorized to so act. In case of conflicting

768

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

representation, such a member shall be deemed to be represented by its senior officer in the order first stated in this subsection.
(d) Unless it is made to appear otherwise by an affidavit, court order, or document, or the instrument creating the position, the following person shall be deemed to be authorized to vote a membership or execute a proxy, waiver, or consent in relation thereto:
(1) The administrator or executor of an estate which is a member. (2) A guardian of a member. (3) A trustee in whose name a membership is held. (e) If more than one person holds a position described in paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection (d) of this Code section with respect to the same membership or if a mem bership is held by two or more persons, whether as fiduciaries, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants in partnership, or otherwise, then unless the instrument or order appointing them or creating the tenancy otherwise directs and a copy thereof is filed with the secretary of the electric membership corporation or unless the articles of incor poration or bylaws of the electric membership corporation otherwise provide, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (1) If only one votes, his act binds all. (2) If more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds all. (3) If more than one vote and the vote is evenly split, each faction shall be entitled to vote the membership in question proportionally. (4) The principles of this subsection shall apply, insofar as possible, to the execu tion of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum. (f) If there is reasonable doubt as to the person qualified to cast the vote of a mem ber or execute a proxy, waiver, or consent on behalf of the member, the electric member ship corporation may deny the right of such member to vote or execute a proxy, waiver, or consent until sufficient action has been taken by such member to eliminate the uncer tainty.
34C-504. Proxies; rights and limitations, (a) To the extent, and only to the extent, authorized by the articles of incorporation or bylaws, a member may be represented at
a meeting of the membership, vote thereat, and execute consents or waivers, by one or more persons authorized by a written proxy executed by such member or by his attorney in fact. The exercise of such rights by a person pursuant to a written proxy shall be sub ject to such limitations and in accordance with such procedures as may be provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws. The exercise of such rights shall, in any event, be subject to the following limitations and procedures:
(1) No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person executing it.

A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted or the authority is exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by the secretary of the electric membership corporation. Notwithstanding that a valid
proxy is outstanding, the powers of the proxy holder are suspended if the maker is present at a meeting of the members and elects to vote in person.
(4) If the proxy for the same member confers authority upon two or more persons and does not otherwise provide, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one is present, then that one, may exercise all the powers conferred by the proxy; but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, and there is no majority, the vote of the member granting the proxy shall be prorated.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1981

769

(5) If the proxy expressly provides, any proxy holder may appoint in writing a sub stitute to act in his place.
(6) A member shall not sell his vote or issue a proxy to vote to any person for any sum of money or anything of value. Any proxy issued in exchange for money or any thing of value shall be void. (b) If proxy voting is authorized in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the elec tric membership corporation, attendance at a members' meeting by a proxy holder authorized to vote for a member shall be deemed to be attendance by such member for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present and shall otherwise be considered as personal attendance by such member. 34C-505. Meetings of members, (a) Meetings of members may be held at such place within the service area of the electric membership corporation as may be' provided in the bylaws. In the absence of any such provision, all meetings shall be held at a place within the service area of the electric membership corporation designated by the board of directors or, if no place is so designated, then at the registered office of the electric membership corporation in this state.

vided in the bylaws. In the absence of such designation the annual meeting shall be held on the second Tuesday of the fourth month following the end of the fiscal year of the electric membership corporation or, if such day is a legal holiday, the next following business day. Failure to hold the annual meeting shall not work a forfeiture; nor shall such failure affect otherwise valid corporate acts. If the electric membership corporation shall fail or refuse to hold the annual meeting on (1) the date provided therefor pursu ant to the bylaws or (2), in the absence of such designation, the date provided in this Code section and shall thereafter also fail or refuse to hold the annual meeting within 60 days after being requested by any member to do so, the superior court of the county where the registered office of the electric membership corporation is located may, after
notice to the electric membership corporation, order a substitute annual meeting to be held upon the application of such member. The superior court may issue such orders as may be appropriate including, without limitation, orders designating the time and place of such meeting, the record date for determination of members entitled to vote, and the form of notice of such meeting.
(c) Special meetings of members or a special meeting in lieu of the annual meeting of members may be called by the president, the chairman of the board of directors, the board of directors, or such other officers or persons as may be provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws or, in the event there are no officers or directors, then by any member. Special meetings of members or a special meeting in lieu of the annual meeting of members shall be called by the electric membership corporation upon the written request of not less than 10 percent of the members of the electric membership corpora tion.
(d) Any action required by this title to be taken at a meeting of members of an elec tric membership corporation, or any action which may be taken at a meeting of mem bers, may be taken without a meeting if written consent, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all the members. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of members and may be stated as such in any articles or doc ument filed with the Secretary of State under this title, except that no consent shall be effective as approval of a plan of merger or plan of consolidation pursuant to Chapter 34C-10 unless:
(1) Prior to the execution of the consent, the members shall have been given:
(A) A copy of the plan of merger or consolidation or an outline of the material
features of the plan; and
(B) A copy of the most recent annual balance sheet and an annual profit and loss statement, or comparable financial statements, of each of the merging or consol idating electric membership corporations or of the merging or consolidating electric membership corporation and foreign electric cooperative, as the case may be; or

34C-508. Greater voting requirements, (a) Whenever, with respect to any action to be taken by the members of an electric membership corporation, the articles of incorpo ration or bylaws require the vote or concurrence of a greater number of the members than required by this title, with respect to such action, the provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws shall control.

to be examined, shall have the right to examine, in person or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time or times, for any proper purpose, its books and records and, at his own expense, may make extracts therefrom. Any such inspection, however, may be denied or limited upon one or more of the following grounds:
(1) The member's refusal to warrant and furnish to the electric membership corpo ration an affidavit that such inspection is desired for a purpose reasonably related to the business of the electric membership corporation.
(2) The inspection seeks information the release of which would unduly infringe upon or invade the privacy of any person.

772

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(3) The inspection is sought for a dishonest purpose, to gratify mere curiosity, or is otherwise inimical to the lawful interest of the electric membership corporation or is not reasonably germane to the interest of the member as such.
(4) The books and records sought to be inspected deal with trade secrets or infor mation which is privileged, confidential, or proprietary.

The court shall hear the parties summarily, by affidavit or otherwise; and, if the applicant establishes that he is qualified and is entitled to such inspection, the court shall grant an order permitting such inspection, subject to any limitations which the court may prescribe, and grant such other relief,
including costs and reasonable attorney's fees, as the court may deem just and proper. The court may deny or restrict inspection if it finds that the member has improperly used information secured through any prior examination of the books and records of account, or minutes or records of members of such electric membership corporation or of any other electric membership corporation, or that any other grounds, as set forth above, exist for denying or restricting such inspection.
(d) Not later than four months after the close of each fiscal year, and in any case, prior to the annual meeting of members, each electric membership corporation shall pre pare:

(c) If the membership books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the deter mination of members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of members, the date notice of the meeting is mailed to all of the members shall be the record date for such determination of membership or, if such notice is not mailed to all of the members on the same date, the date ten days prior to the meeting shall be the record date for such determination of membership.

(c) Such action shall not be discontinued, compromised, or settled without the approval of the court having jurisdiction of the action. If the court shall determine that the interest of the members will be substantially affected by such discontinuance, com promise, or settlement, the court shall direct that notice, by publication or otherwise, of the action and the proposed discontinuance, compromise, or settlement thereof be given to the members. If notice is directed to be given, the court may determine which one or more of the parties to the action shall bear the expense of giving the same in such amount as the court shall determine and find to be reasonable in the circum stances.
(d) If such action is successful in whole or in part or if anything is received by the plaintiff or plaintiffs as the result of the judgment, compromise, or settlement thereof, the court may award the plaintiff or plaintiffs reasonable expenses, including reasonable fees of attorneys, and shall direct him or them to account to the electric membership corporation for the remainder of the proceeds so received by him or them.

(1) The rate payers' contribution to the cost of construction shall be determined by first multiplying the amount of construction and preconstruction expenditures included in the rate base by the authorized return allowed by the Commission for the
electric utility on the jurisdictional rate base during the period or periods such expenditures were included in the rate base, and then subtracting therefrom any car rying costs capitalized in respect of such construction and preconstruction expendi tures included in the rate base. In the event an electric utility transfers partial or total

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

ownership of any electric plant after the same has commenced commercial operation, the rate payers' contribution to the cost of construction shall be reduced in proportion to the remaining life of the electric plant.
(2) The profit, if any, on such transfer shall be allocated between the electric utili ty and its rate payers in proportion to their respective contributions to the cost of construction. For the purposes of this calculation, the rate payers' contribution shall be determined as provided by paragraph (1) of this subsection. The electric utility's contribution shall be the cost, including carrying costs, of the transferred electric plant as recorded on the books and records of the electric utility. The amount of profit, if any, shall be determined by deducting the sum of the rate payers' and the electric utility's contributions to the cost of construction from the gross proceeds of the trans fer. 93-307.4. Utility rate making; tax accounting. For purposes of determining a utility's cost of service in rate-making proceedings, the income tax expense portion shall be cal culated on the basis of net income before income taxes. Any difference between income based on the utility's accounting records and income determined in accordance with United States Internal Revenue Service laws and regulations will be accounted for as required by generally accepted accounting principles governing all businesses."
Section 6. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new Code chapter after Code Chapter 93-5, to be designated Code Chapter 93-5A, to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 93-5A Utility Proceedings
93-501a. Hearing officers, (a) The Commission shall employ one or more hearing offi cers to perform the duties set forth in this section.

(f) The Commission or hearing officer may condition any order permitting interven tion so as to assure the orderly conduct of the proceeding.

would require the replacement of two or more major component parts; or (2) Has been acquired by an insurance company as the result of the vehicle being
damaged to the extent that its restoration to an operable condition would require the replacement of two or more major component parts and for which the insurance com pany has paid a total loss claim for that reason; or

(b) As an alternative to criminal or other civil enforcement, the commissioner, in order to enforce the provisions of the section or of any orders, rules, and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, after a hearing, may issue an administrative fine not to exceed $1,000.00 for each violation whenever the commissioner, after a hearing, deter mines that any person has violated any provisions of this section, or any regulations or orders promulgated thereunder.

Such judg ment shall have the same effect, and proceedings in relation thereto shall thereafter be the same, as though said judgment has been rendered in a suit duly heard and deter mined by said court. The penalty prescribed in this section shall be concurrent, alterna tive, and cumulative with any and all other civil, criminal, or alternative rights, remedies, forfeitures, or penalties provided, allowed, or available to the commissioner with respect to any violation of this section and any order, rules, or regulations promul gated pursuant thereto.

(d) The application for a salvage certificate of title shall be made in a manner to be prescribed by the commissioner.
(e) Any certificate of title which is issued to a salvage motor vehicle as provided in this subsection shall contain the word 'Salvage' on the face of the certificate in such a manner as the commissioner may prescribe so as to indicate clearly that the motor vehi cle described is a salvage motor vehicle."

(c) Any certificate of title which is issued to a rebuilt motor vehicle shall contain the word 'Rebuilt' on the face of said certificate of title in such a manner as the commis sioner shall prescribe so as to indicate clearly that the motor vehicle described is a rebuilt motor vehicle. (d) Any person, firm, or corporation who rebuilds a motor vehicle or salvage motor vehicle by the replacement of two or more major component parts shall be required to obtain a certificate of title marked 'Rebuilt' for said motor vehicle prior to any sale or transfer of said motor vehicle.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

"and to transmit immediately to the Secretary of State a copy of any publication in which a 'call' for a special primary, election, or runoff is issued", so that when so amended subsection (j) of Code Section 34A-201 shall read as follows:
"(j) To prepare and publish, in the manner provided by this Code, all notices and advertisements in connection with the conduct of elections; which may be required by law and to transmit immediately to the Secretary of State a copy of any publication in^ which a 'call' for a special primary, election, or runoff is issued;".
Section 2. Said Code title is further amended by adding a new subsection (c) at the end of Code Section 34A-501 to read as follows:
"(c) For municipalities maintaining their own registration list, the following shall apply: Any person desiring to register as an elector shall apply to a registrar or a deputy and shall furnish such officer with proper identification and information which will enable him to fill in all blanks appearing on the registration card. For purposes of this Code section, proper identification means a driver's license, social security card, birth certificate, or any other document as will reasonably reflect the true identity of the applicant. On completion of the form the officer shall administer the oath to the appli cant and then have him sign it, and the officer shall attest it. Upon request of the appli cant, the officer taking the application shall read or repeat the oath distinctly to the applicant and, if the applicant cannot sign his name, the officer shall sign it for him, the applicant making his mark thereto."

The amount of such exemption shall not exceed $2,000.00 for the first year of the exemption. For any suc ceeding years said governing authority is authorized to increase the exemption granted herein, but not to exceed the percentage increase in the total property tax digest of the City of Decatur since the amount of the exemption was last set. The exemption autho rized herein shall not exceed $10,000.00. The value of the residence in excess of the amount so exempted shall remain subject to taxation. Any such resident shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he or his agent provides the

After any such person has filed the proper documents and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application there after for any subsequent year; and said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such person. It shall be the duty of such person to notify said tax assessor's office in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The homestead exemption provided for herein shall not be granted nor the amount fixed
within the limits prescribed herein until the governing authority of the city provides by ordinance for the granting of such exemption and the amount thereof and the clerk for wards to the tax assessor's office a certified copy of said ordinance. The governing authority of the city may provide by ordinance for the proper administration of this exemption as the same may be necessary."

A BILL
To amend Code Title 88, relating to public health, as amended, so as to add a new Code chapter to authorize the discontinuance of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures for certain persons; to provide for a declaration of findings; to define certain terms; to pro vide for written living wills and the procedures connected therewith; to provide for wit nesses; to provide for revocation of living wills; to provide for immunity from criminal, civil, and other liability for certain persons under certain conditions; to provide for the duration of living wills; to provide for carrying out of living wills; to provide for sanctions; to provide for presumptions; to provide that discontinuance of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures pursuant to the provisions of this Code chapter shall not constitute a suicide and shall not impair or invalidate life insurance policies; to prohibit certain health providers and health care service plans from requiring persons to execute living wills; to provide for exceptions; to provide for penalties; to provide for construction; to provide for other matters related thereto; 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. 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 lifesustaining 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 living will instructing his physician to with hold or withdraw extraordinary life-sustaining procedures in the event of a terminal condi tion.

88-3505. Duration of living will. A living will 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 living will at any time in accordance with the formalities of Code Sections 88-3502 and 88-3503. If the declarant has executed more than one living will, such seven-year period shall be determined from the date of execution of the last living will known to the attending physician. If the declarant becomes comatose or is rendered incapable of communicating with the attending physician, the living will 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 with holding or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures from a patient as per mitted 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 with drawal 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 provi sions 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 living will in good faith and in accordance with Code Section 88-3502 shall be civilly or criminally liable or guilty of unprofessional
conduct for such action. 88-3507. Carrying out of living will; presumptions, (a) Prior to effecting a withholding
or withdrawal of extraordinary life-sustaining procedures from a patient pursuant to a
living will, the attending physician: (1) shall determine that, to the best of his knowledge, the living will complies with
Code Section 88-3502 and, where applicable, with Code Section 88-3503; and
(2) shall make the living will, or a copy of the living will, a part of the declarant
patient's medical records. (b) The living will 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 crimi
nally or civilly liable for failing to effectuate the living will of the declarant patient. A
failure by the attending physician to make a good faith effort to effectuate the living will of a declarant patient 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 to another physician who will effec
tuate the living will of the declarant patient.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

88-3508. Not suicide; insurance; living will not required, (a) The withholding or with drawal 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 living will pursuant to this Code chapter shall not restrict, inhib it, or impair in any manner the sale, procurement, or issuance of any policy of life insur ance 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 insur ance benefits for accidental death of the patient in any case in which the terminal condi tion of the patient is the result of accident, notwithstanding any term of the policy to the contrary.
(c) No physician, hospital, or skilled nursing facility, or other health provider and no health care service plan, insurer issuing disability insurance, self-insured employee wel fare benefit plan, or nonprofit hospital service plan shall require any person to execute a living will as a condition for being insured for, or receiving, health care services.
88-3509. Penalties. Any person who willfully conceals, cancels, defaces, obliterates, alters, or damages the living will of another without such declarant's written consent or who witnesses a living will knowing at the time he is not eligible to witness such living will under Code Section 88-3502, or who coerces or attempts to coerce a person into making a living will, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person who falsifies or forges the living will of another or willfully conceals or withholds personal knowledge of a revo cation 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 lifesustaining procedures to be withheld or withdrawn and death thereby to be hastened, shall be subject to prosecution for criminal homicide as provided in Code Chapter 26-11, as now or hereafter amended."
Section 3. Nothing in this Act shall impair or supersede any legal right or legal responsibility which any person may have to effect the withholding or withdrawal of extra ordinary life-sustaining procedures in any lawful manner. In such respect the provisions of this Act are cumulative.
Section 4. Nothing in this Act 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 Act. Furthermore, nothing in this Act shall be construed to condone, authorize, or approve abortion.
Section 5. 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 6. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 7. AH laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

"(i) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the tax levied pursuant to this Act shall be used solely by each local government to fulfill the obligations incurred in the contracts entered into with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority as contemplated in the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965, as amended, provided, however, that no more than fifty percent (50%) of the annual proceeds of the tax shall be used to subsidize the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, until July 1, 1997, after which time no more than sixty percent (60%) of the annual proceeds of the tax shall be used to subsidize the operating costs of the sys tem, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, and that commencing with July 1, 1997, and for every year thereafter, the proceeds of the tax shall not be used to subsidize operations of the transportation system to an extent greater than fifty percent (50%) of the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. In adopting its annual budget, the Board of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority shall be authorized to rely upon estimates of all revenues, operating costs, patronage and other factors which may affect the amount of the fare required to limit the operating subsidy herein provided for. If the results of any year's operations reflect that the proceeds of the tax were used to subsidize operations to an extent greater than herein provided, the Board shall adjust fares in order to make up the deficit in opera tions during a period of not to exceed three (3) succeeding years. If the results of opera tions in the Authority's fiscal year commencing July 1, 1980 or in any subsequent fiscal year reflect that the proceeds of the tax were not used to subsidize operations to the maximum extent herein provided, the Board may, in its sole discretion, reserve any amounts that could have been used to subsidize operations in that fiscal year and later use said reserved amounts and any interest earned on said reserved amounts to provide an additional subsidy for operations in any future fiscal year or years. The words 'oper ating costs of the system' for purposes of this subsection 25(i) are defined to include all of the costs of that division of the Authority directly involved and that portion of the nonoperating administrative costs of those divisions of the Authority indirectly involved, through the provision of support services, in providing mass transportation services for the metropolitan area, but exclusive of the costs of the division or divisions directly involved and that portion of the nonoperating administrative costs of those divisions indirectly involved, in the planning, design, acquisition, construction and improvement of the rapid transit system, according to accepted principles of accounting.

"(d) A provision that the member shall be entitled to have the certificate reinstated at any time within three years from the due date of the premium in default, unless the certificate has been completely terminated through the application of a nonforfeiture benefit, cash surrender value or certificate loan, upon the production of evidence of insurability satisfactory to the society and the payment of all overdue premiums and any other indebtedness to the society upon the certificate, together with interest on such premiums and such indebtedness, if any, at a rate not exceeding six per cent, per annum compounded annually;", and inserting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (d) of subsection 1 of Code Section 56-1921 to read as follows:
"(d) A provision that the member shall be entitled to have the certificate reinstated at any time within three years from the due date of the premium in default, unless the certificate has been completely terminated through the application of a nonforfeiture benefit, cash surrender value or certificate loan, upon the production of evidence of insurability satisfactory to the society and the payment of all overdue premiums to the society upon the certificate with interest not exceeding 6 percent (6%) per annum, com pounded annually, and the payment or reinstatement of any other indebtedness to the society, either with interest not exceeding six percent (6%) per annum, compounded annually, if the certificate was issued prior to July 1, 1981, or with the interest as deter mined in accordance with Code Section 56-2503.2 if the certificate was issued on or after July 1, 1981;".
Section 2. Code Chapter 56-25, relating to life insurance, as amended, is hereby amended by striking in its entirety paragraph (h) of subsection (1) of Code Section 56-2503, relating to standard provisions in life insurance policies, and inserting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (h) to read as follows:
"(h) Reinstatement. A provision that unless the policy has been surrendered for its cash surrender value or its cash surrender value has been exhausted, or unless the paidup term insurance, if any, has expired, the policy will be reinstated at any time within three years from the date of premium default upon written application therefor, the pro duction of evidence of insurability satisfactory to the insurer, the payment of all premi ums in arrears; and the payment e* roinatatcmcnt ef- any- other indobtodncao te- the insurer upon the policy att wftfe interest net exceeding si* (6%) percent per annum com pounded annually to the insurer with interest not exceeding six percent (6%) per annum compounded annually, and the payment or reinstatement of any other indebtedness upon the policy to the insurer either with interest not exceeding six percent (6%) per annum compounded annually if the policy was issued prior to July 1^ 1981, OT with the interest as determined in accordance with Code Section 56-2503.2 if the policy was issued on or after July 1^ 1981;", so that when so amended Code Section 56-2503 shall read as follows:
"56-2503. Life insurance policies; standard provisions required. (1) No policy of life insurance, except as stated in subsection (2), shall be delivered or issued for delivery in this State unless it contains in substance the following provisions:
(a) Grace period. A provision that the insured is entitled to a grace period of not less than thirty (30) days within which the payment of any premium after the first may be made, during which period of grace the policy shall continue in force, but if

1160

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

a claim arises under the policy during such period of grace, the amount of any premi um due or overdue may be deducted from any amount payable under the policy in settlement;
(b) Incontestability. A provision that the policy (exclusive of provisions relating to disability benefits or to additional benefits in the event of death by accident or acci dental means) shall be incontestable, except for nonpayment of premiums, after it has been in force during the lifetime of the insured for a period of two years from its date of issue;
(c) Misstatement of age. A provision that if the age of the person insured or of any other person whose age is considered in determining the premium or benefit has been misstated, any amount payable or benefit accruing under the policy shall be such as the premium would have purchased at the correct age or ages;
(d) Dividends. A provision in participating policies that, beginning not later than the end of the third policy year, the insurer shall annually ascertain and apportion the divisible surplus, if any, that will accrue on the policy anniversary or other dividend date specified in the policy. Except as hereinafter provided, any dividend becoming payable shall at the option of the party entitled to elect such option be either (i) pay able in cash or (ii) applied to any one of such other dividend options as may be pro vided by the policy. If any such other dividend options are provided, the policy shall further state which option shall be automatically effective if such party shall not have elected some other option. If a policy specifies a period within which such other option may be elected, such period shall be not less than thirty (30) days following the date on which such dividend is due and payable. The annually apportioned divi dend shall be deemed to be payable in cash within the meaning of (i) above even though the policy provides that payment of such dividend is to be deferred for a spec ified period, provided such period does not exceed six years from the date of appor tionment and that interest will be added to such dividend at a specified rate. If a participating policy provides that the benefit under any paid-up nonforfeiture provi sion is to be participating, it may provide that any divisible surplus becoming payable or apportioned while the insurance is in force under such nonforfeiture provision shall be applied in the manner set forth in the policy;
(e) Policy loan. A provision that after three full years' premiums have been paid and after the policy has a cash surrender value and while no premium is in default beyond the grace period for payment, the insurer will loan on the execution of a prop er note or loan agreement by the owner of the policy, and on proper assignment of the policy and on the sole security thereof, at a specified rate of interest, a sum equal to or, at the option of the owner of the policy, less than the cash value of the policy
at the end of the current policy year and of any dividend additions thereto; and that the company may deduct from such loan value or from the proceeds of the loan any existing indebtedness on or secured by the policy not already deducted in determining such cash value including interest due or accrued, and any unpaid balance of the pre
mium for the current policy year, and may collect interest in advance of the loan to the end of the current policy year; Provided, that the policy shall reserve to the insur er the right to defer the granting of a loan, other than for the payment of any premi
um to the insurer, for six months after the application therefor. The policy may also
provide that if interest on any indebtedness is not paid when due it shall then be
added to the existing indebtedness and shall bear interest at the same rate, and that if and when the total indebtedness on the policy, including interest due on accrued, equals or exceeds the amount of the loan value thereof, then the policy shall terminate
and become void, but not until at least thirty (30) days' notice shall have been mailed by the insurer to the last known address of the insured or policy owner and of any
assignee of record at the home office of the insurer. The policy, at the insurer's option, may provide for an automatic premium loan, subject to an election of the party enti tled to elect. No condition other than as herein provided shall be exacted as a prereq
uisite to any such loan. This provision shall not apply to term insurance or to term
insurance benefits provided by rider or supplemental policy provisions;

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1981

1161

(f) Tables of installments. In case the policy provides that the proceeds may be payable in installments which are determinable at issue of the policy, there shall be a table showing the amounts of the guaranteed installments;
(g) Tables of options and values. A statement of the mortality table and interest rate used in calculating the cash surrender values and the paid-up nonforfeiture bene fits available under the policy, together with a table showing the cash surrender value, if any, and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, if any, available under the policy on each policy anniversary, either during the first twenty (20) policy years or during the term of the policy, whichever is shorter, such values and benefits to be calculated upon the assumption that there are no dividends or paid-up additions credited to the policy and that there is no indebtedness to the insurer on the policy;
(h) Reinstatement. A provision that unless the policy has been surrendered for its cash surrender value or its cash surrender value has been exhausted, or unless the paid-up term insurance, if any, has expired, the policy will be reinstated at any time within three years from the date of premium default upon written application there for, the production of evidence of insurability satisfactory to the insurer, the payment of all premiums in arrears; and the payment e* roinntatomcnt ef any other indebted
per annum compounded annually to the insurer with interest not exceeding six per cent (6%) per annum compounded annually, and the payment or reinstatement of any other indebtedness upon the policy to the insurer either with interest not exceeding six percent (6%) per annum compounded annually if the policy was issued prior to July 1, 1981, or with the interest as determined in accordance with Code Section 56-2503.2 if the policy was issued on or after July 1^ 1981;
(i) Title. On each such policy there shall be placed a title which shall briefly and accurately describe the nature and form of the policy;
(j) Payment of premiums. A provision relative to the payment of premiums; (k) Payment of claims. A provision that when a policy shall become a claim by the death of the insured settlement shall be made upon receipt of due proof of death and, at the insurer's option surrender of the policy and/or proof of the interest of the claimant. If an insurer shall specify a particular period prior to the expiration of which settlement shall be made, such period shall not exceed two months from the receipt of such proofs; (1) Entire contract. A provision that if any reference is made to the application for insurance or to the constitution, bylaws or rules of the insurer as forming part of or as affecting the policy between the parties there shall be included in or attached to said policy when issued a correct copy of the application signed by the applicant and of the constitution, bylaws and rules referred to. (2) Any of the foregoing provisions or portions thereof not applicable to single premi um or term policies shall to that extent not be incorporated therein. This section shall not apply to industrial (except-as provided in section 56-2902(6)), credit or group insur ance or to any provision of a life insurance policy, or contract supplemental thereto, relating to disability benefits or to additional benefits in event of death by accident or accidental means."
Section 3. Said Code chapter is further amended by adding a new Code section to follow Code Section 56-2503.1, to be designated Code Section 56-2503.2, to read as follows:
"56-2503.2. Interest rates on life insurance policy loans, (a) (1) Interest rates on life insurance

1162

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

or any successor thereto; or, in the event Moody's Corporate Bond Yield AverageMonthly Average Corporates is no longer published, a substantially similar average to be designated by regulation issued by the Commissioner.
(2) The rate of interest on policy loans permitted under this Code section includes the interest rate charged on reinstatement of policy loans for the period during and after any lapse of a policy.
(3) The term 'policy loan' includes any premium loan made under a policy to pay one or more premiums that were not paid to the life insurer as they fell due.
(4) The term 'policyholder' includes the owner of the policy or the person desig nated to pay premiums as shown on the records of the life insurer.
(5) The term 'policy' includes certificates issued by a fraternal benefit society and annuity contracts which provide for policy loans. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (e) of subsec tion (1) of Code Section 56-2503, life insurance policies issued on or after July 1, 1981, shall provide for policy loan interest rates as follows:
(1) A provision permitting a maximum interest rate of not more than eight percent (8%) per annum; or
(2) A provision permitting an adjustable maximum interest rate established from time to time by the life insurer as permitted by law. (d) The rate of interest charged on a policy loan made under paragraph (2) of sub section (c) shall not exceed the higher of the following:
(1) The published monthly average for the calendar month ending two months before the date on which the rate is determined; or
(2) The rate used to compute the cash surrender values under the policy during the applicable period plus one percent (1%) per annum. (e) If the maximum interest rate is determined pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsec tion (c), the policy shall contain a provision setting forth the frequency at which the rate is to be determined for that policy. (f) The maximum rate for each policy must be determined at regular intervals at least once every 12 months, but not more frequently than once in any three-month peri od. At the intervals specified in the policy:
(1) The rate being charged may be increased whenever such increase as deter mined under subsection (d) would increase that rate by one-half percent (.5%) or more per annum; and
(2) The rate being charged must be reduced whenever such reduction as deter mined under subsection (d) would decrease that rate by one-half percent (.5%) or more per annum. (g) The life insurer shall:
(1) Notify the policyholder at the time a cash loan is made of the initial rate of interest of the loan;
(2) Notify the policyholder with respect to premium loans of the initial rate of interest on the loan as soon as it is reasonably practical to do so after making the ini tial loan. Notice need not be given to the policyholder when a further premium loan is added, except as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection.
(3) Send to policyholders with loans reasonable advance notice of any increase in the rate; and
(4) Include in the notices required above the substance of the pertinent provisions of subsections (c) and (e).
(h) No policy shall terminate in a policy year as the sole result of a change in the interest rate during that policy year, and the life insurer shall maintain coverage during that policy year until the time at which it would otherwise have terminated if there had been no change during that policy year.
(i) The substance of the pertinent provisions of subsections (c) and (e) shall be set forth in the policies to which they apply.
(j) No other provisions of law shall apply to policy loan interest rates unless made specifically applicable to such rates."
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

A RESOLUTION

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide for the valuation of cer
tain homestead property in Muscogee County for purposes of ad valorem taxation for school and consolidated city-county government purposes; to provide for other matters rel ative to the foregoing; to provide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph III of the Constitution of the State of Georgia is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraph:
"Subject to the conditions and limitations specified by law, homestead property in Muscogee County shall be valued for purposes of ad valorem taxation for school and city-county consolidated government purposes based upon the fair market value of the property as of January 1, 1983; or as of January 1 of the first year when homestead exemption is allowed and claimed after January 1, 1983; or as of January 1 of the year following the last change of ownership after January 1, 1983, whichever is later. The value of any improvements which are made after the base fair market value is estab lished and which require a building permit to be obtained shall be added to the estab lished base fair market value. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply with respect
to valuation of any homestead property only so long as the property is actually occupied by the owner primarily as a homestead and is claimed and qualifies for the homestead exemption allowed under Georgia law. As used in this paragraph, homestead shall have the meaning specified by law for purposes of exemption from taxation, except that the term shall include not more than two acres of land upon which the residence is located or which immediately surrounds the residence. For the purposes of this paragraph, any change of title between spouses shall not be considered a sale, purchase, or change of ownership. The assessed value of such homestead property for the purposes of taxation as specified in this paragraph shall be the value determined pursuant to this paragraph multiplied by the percentage specified by law for assessment of tangible property; pro vided, however, in case of error, or in case incorrect information is provided, the Board of Tax Assessors may make correction to the January 1, 1983, value; or the value on January 1 of the first year when homestead exemption was allowed and claimed after January 1, 1983; or the value on January 1 of the year following the last change of own
ership after January 1, 1983, whichever is later. This paragraph shall not affect state taxation."

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

YES ( ) NO

Shall the Constitution be amended so as to provide for assessment of homestead property in Muscogee County for ad valorem tax purposes based upon the value of the property on January 1, 1983; or as of Janu ary 1 of the first year when homestead exemption is allowed and claimed after January 1, 1983; or as of January 1 of the year following the last change of ownership after January 1, 1983, whichever is later?"

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1981

The General Assembly finds that the sale of exotic and pet birds presents a serious potential hazard to the health of livestock and humans due to the potential of transmission of disease by birds. The General Assembly further finds that reg ulation of bird dealers is a necessary means of minimizing this hazard.
Section 3. Definitions. The following words shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
(1) "Bird dealer" means any person engaged in the business of dealing in, purchas ing, breeding, or offering for sale (whether at wholesale or retail) any exotic or pet birds or birds customarily kept as pets.
(2) "Department" means the Department of Agriculture. (3) "Person" means any individual, firm, partnership, corporation, estate, trust, fiduciary, or other group or combination acting as a unit.
Section 4. License required, (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to act as a bird dealer unless such person has a valid bird dealer's license. Acting as a bird dealer without a license in violation of this subsection constitutes a misdemeanor.
(b) The Department of Agriculture shall license bird dealers under the applicable provisions of the "Department of Agriculture Registration, License, and Permit Act," approved March 10, 1966 (Ga. Laws 1966, p. 307), as now or hereafter amended.
(c) Bird dealers' licenses shall be issued for a period of one year and shall be annual ly renewable. The department may establish separate classes of licenses, including whole sale and retail licenses. The department shall fix fees for licenses so that the revenue derived from licenses shall approximate the total direct and indirect costs of administering this Act; but the annual cost of a wholesale license shall not exceed $25.00 and the annual cost of a retail license shall not exceed $10.00.
Section 5. Required records, (a) Every bird dealer shall keep records sufficient to identify:

1283

(1) Each exotic or pet bird in his possession or sold by him by species and descrip tion;
(2) The name, address, and telephone number of the person from whom each such bird was acquired and, if that person is a licensed bird dealer, then his license number or, if that person is not a licensed dealer, then his driver's license number or social security number or federal tax identification number, if any, or other such identifica tion as may be available;
(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom each such bird is transferred and, if that person is a licensed bird dealer, then his license num ber or, if that person is not a licensed bird dealer, then his driver's license number or social security number, if any, or other such identitication as may be available; and
(4) Any such bird which the dealer knows to be or have been sick or diseased or to have died. (b) The department may require periodic reports of any or all of the records required by subsection (a) of this section. The department may require the keeping of additional records; and all required records shall be made available for inspection by the department. (c) Failure to keep or make available any required records shall be grounds for revo cation of a license. (d) Every bird dealer shall keep all of such records for at least one year.
Section 6. Seizure, quarantine, and destruction of birds. The department may quar antine, seize, and destroy any birds which present a hazard of carrying exotic or untreatable disease as determined by rules and regulations promulgated by the Commis sioner of Agriculture. The department shall pay an indemnity to the owner of any seized or destroyed birds from any federal funds made available for that purpose or any state funds hereafter appropriated for that purpose.
Section 7. Regulation by the Department of Human Resources. If the Department of Human Resources elects to regulate the sale or transportation of exotic or pet birds under the authority of Code Section 88-1205, then the Department of Human Resources shall cooperate with the Department of Agriculture in developing and implementing such regulation.
Section 8. Rules and regulations. The Commissioner of Agriculture may make any rules and regulations not inconsistent with this Act governing dealing in or transportation of exotic or pet birds.
Section 9. (Reserved)
Section 10. Enforcement procedure, (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever it may appear to the Commissioner of Agriculture or his agent, either upon investigation or otherwise, that any person has engaged in, or is engaging in, or is about to engage in any act, practice, or transaction which is prohibited by any law or regulation governing activities for which a license from the Department of Agriculture is required by this Act, whether or not the person has so registered or obtained such a license or permit, the Commissioner of Agriculture may issue an order, if he deems it to be in the public interest or necessary for the protection of the citizens of this state, prohibiting such person from continuing such act, practice, or transaction or suspending or revoking any such reg istration, license, or permit held by such person.
(b) In situations where persons otherwise would be entitled to a hearing prior to an order entered pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10, the Commissioner of Agricul ture may issue such an order to be effective upon a later date without hearing unless a person subject to the order requests a hearing within ten days after receipt of the order. Failure to make the request shall constitute a waiver of any provision of law for a hearing. The order shall contain or shall be accompanied by a notice of opportunity for hearing stating that a hearing must be requested within ten days of receipt of the notice and order.

The Commissioner of Agriculture shall give the person requesting the hearing notice of the time and place of the hearing by certified mail to the address specified in the request for hearing at least 15 days prior to the time of the hearing.

Section 11. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to repeal or preempt any laws or parts of laws administered by the Department of Natural Resources except as to the licensing and permitting of Class Aves under subsection (b) of Code Section 45-1102.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the House Hazardous Waste Disposal Study Committee; and for other pur poses.
WHEREAS, one of the critical issues which faces the Georgia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states is the question of hazardous waste disposal; and
WHEREAS, addressing the question of hazardous waste disposal requires that numer ous other questions be answered, including the clear definition as to exactly what consti tutes hazardous waste; and
WHEREAS, it is vitally important that any plan for hazardous waste disposal provide not only for the implementation of proper disposal techniques for new sources of hazard ous waste, but also for the efficient and careful coordination of plans for storage and dis posal of such waste by existing industries; and
WHEREAS, it is only fitting and proper that a concerted and careful study of this vital question be undertaken and that a special study committee of this House be created for such purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES that there is created the House Hazardous Waste Disposal Study Committee to be composed of five members of the House to be appointed by the Speaker, one of whom shall be designated as chairman and one of whom shall be designated as vice chairman.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 56-13, relating to fees and taxes imposed upon insurance companies, as amended, is hereby amended by inserting in subsection (1) of Code Section 56-1310 immediately following the word "section," where said word first appears in said subsection, the following:
"and in section 56-1310.1,", and by inserting in said subsection immediately following the word "section", where said word appears at the end of said subsection, the following:
", and except as provided in section 56-1310.1", so that when so amended subsection (1) of Code Section 56-1310 shall read as follows:
"(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, and in section 56-1310.1, the State of Georgia hereby preempts the field of imposing taxes, except taxes on real property and tangible personal property taxed ad valorem, upon life insurance companies, their agents and other representatives, including, but not limited to, excise, privilege, fran chise, income, license, permit, registration and similar taxes and fees measured by pre miums, income or volume of transactions, and no county or unincorporated area thereof, city, municipality, district, school district, or other political subdivision or agency of this state shall impose, levy, charge or require the same, except as herein provided in subsec tion (2) of this section, and except as provided in section 56-1310.1."

(d) For the purposes of this section, 'life insurance company' means a company which is authorized to transact only the class of insurance designated in section 56-305 as class (1).
(e) The tax imposed by this Code section shall be collected by the Commissioner on behalf of counties in the same manner and on the same date as the state tax on insur ance premiums.
(f) Beginning on June 1, 1982 and on the same date each year thereafter, the Com missioner shall disburse to each county of the state that fractional part of the total col lections which is equivalent to the fraction, the numerator of which is the population of the unincorporated area of that county and the denominator of which is the popula tion of all unincorporated areas of the state. Said populations shall be measured by the most recent federal decennial census.
(g) The proceeds from the county tax levied for county purposes provided for by this section shall be separated from other county funds and shall be used by county govern ing authorities solely for the purpose of reducing ad valorem taxes of the inhabitants of the unincorporated areas of such counties. In fixing the ad valorem tax millage rate for the year 1982 and any year thereafter, the governing authorities of counties shall be authorized and directed to reduce such ad valorem tax millage rate on taxable property within the unincorporated areas of such counties to offset all of the proceeds derived from the tax provided for in this section."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

shall exceed 360 300 weeks. (g) Loss of more than one major member: Loss of both arms, hands, legs, or feet,

employee, his dependents or personal representative may pursue his remedy by action at law or otherwise against such third party.
(b) If the employee or his dependents shall accept compensation or other benefits under this law or begin proceedings therefor, the employer or, in the event the employer is insured against liability hereunder, then the insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the employee or his dependents against such third party, to the extent of the amount of compensation benefits paid or to be paid as provided by subsection (c) of this section.
(c) (1) In all claims or actions at law against such a third party, the employee, or his dependents or those entitled by law to sue in the event he is deceased, shall sue for the employee individually and for the use and benefit of the employer, if a self-in surer, or employer's insurance carrier, in the event compensation benefits are claimed or paid, and such suit may be brought in the name of the employee or his dependents or those entitled by law to sue in the event he is deceased, as plaintiff or, at the option of such plaintiff, may be brought in the name of such plaintiff and for the use and benefit of the employer or insurance carrier, as the case may be. Upon suit being filed, the employer or the insurance carrier, as the case may be, may file in the suit a notice of payment of compensation and medical benefits to the employee or his
dependents, which said notice shall constitute a lien upon any judgment or settlement recovered to the extent that the court may determine to be their pro rata share for compensation and medical benefits paid or to be paid under the provisions of this law. The employer or carrier shall recover from the judgment, after attorney's fees and costs incurred by the employee or dependent in that suit have been deducted, 100 per cent of what it has paid and future benefits to be paid, unless the employee or depen dent can demonstrate to the court that he did not recover the full value of damages sustained because of comparative negligence or because of limits of insurance coverage and collectability. The burden of proof will be upon the employee. Such proration shall be made by the judge of the trial court upon application therefor and notice to the adverse party. Notice of suit being filed shall be served upon the employer and compensation carrier and upon all parties to the suit or their attorneys of record by the employee. Notice of payment of compensation benefits shall be served upon the
employee and upon all parties to the suit or their attorneys of record by the employer and compensation carrier.
(2) If the employer or insurance carrier has given written notice of his rights of subrogation to such third party and, thereafter, settlement of any such claim or action at law is made, either before or after suit is filed, and the parties fail to agree on the proportion to be paid to each, upon application of either party a superior court judge of the county in which the cause of action arose shall determine the amount to be paid to each such third party in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection.
(d) (1) If the injured employee or his dependents, as the case may be, fail to bring suit against such third party within one year after the cause of action thereof shall have accrued, the employer, if self-insurer, and if not, the insurance carrier, may, after giving 30 days' notice to the injured employee or his dependents and the injured employee's attorney, if represented by counsel, institute suit against such third party, either in his own name or as provided by subsection (c), and, in the event suit is so instituted shall be subrogated to and entitled to retain from any judgment recovered against, or settlement made with, such third party, the following: All amounts paid as compensation and medical benefits under the provisions of this law and the present value of all future compensation benefits payable, to be reduced to its present value, and to be retained, as a trust from which future payments of compensation are to be made, together with all court costs, including attorney's fees expended in the prosecu tion of such suit, to be prorated as provided by subsection (c). The remainder of the moneys derived from such judgment or settlement shall be paid to the employee or his dependents, as the case may be.
(2) If the carrier or employer does not bring suit within 18 months following the accrual of the cause of action against such a third party, the right of action shall revert to the employee (or in the case of his death, those entitled by law to sue), and in such event the provisions of subsection (c) shall apply.

1558

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(e) In all cases under subsection (d) of this Code section involving such third party, where compensation benefits under this law are paid or are to be paid, settlement either before or after suit is instituted shall not be made except upon agreement of the injured employee or his dependents and the employer or his insurance carrier, as the case may be.
(f) Any amounts recovered under this Code section by the employer or his insurance carrier shall be credited against the loss-experience of said employer."
Section 4. Said Code title is further amended by striking from Code Section 114-502, relating to limitations on liability for medical attention and damages for malpractice, the following:
"as prevail in the same community for similar treatment of injured persons of a like standard of living when such treatment is paid for by the injured persons,", and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"as shall be judged reasonable by the State Board of Workers' Compensation or such charges as shall be fixed by the board through the implementation of a medical fee schedule,", so that when so amended Code Section 114-502 shall read as follows:
"114-502. Liability for medical attention limited; damages for malpractice. The pecu niary liability of the employer for medical, surgical, hospital service, or other treatment required, when ordered by the State Board of Workers' Compensation shall be limited
sens ef- a like standard ef living when such treatment is paid for by the injured persons, as shall be judged reasonable by the State Board of Workers' Compensation or such charges as shall be fixed by the board through the implementation of a medical fee schedule, and the employer shall not be liable in damages for malpractice by a physician or surgeon furnished by him pursuant to the provisions of this section, but the conse quences of any malpractice shall be deemed part of the injury resulting from the acci dent, and shall be compensated for as such."

(b) They The State Board of Workers' Compensation shall tabulate the accident reports received from employers in accordance with Section 114-716, and shall publish the same in their annual report and as often as they may deem advisable, in such detailed or aggregate form as they may deem best. The name of the employer or employee shall not appear in such publications and the employers' reports themselves shall be private records of the board, and shall not be open for public inspection except for the inspection of the parties directly involved, and only to the extent of such inter est. These reports shall not be used as evidence against any employer in any suit at law brought by any employee for the recovery of damages, or in any proceeding under this Title."
Section 6. Said Code title is further amended by striking Code Section 114-714 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 114-714 to read as follows:
"114-714. Fees of physicians, hospital charges, (a) Fees of physicians and charges of hospitals for services under this Title shall be subject to the approval of the board.
(b) No physician or hospital shall be entitled to collect any fee unless reports required by the board have been made.
(c) The board is hereby authorized and directed to develop and implement by appro priate rules and regulations no later than January 1, 1983, a reasonable and extensive medical fee schedule to be used for setting fees c^f physicians and charges of hospitals for services under this Title."

Within 10 days after the occurrence and knowledge thereof, as provided in Section 114-303, of an injury to an employee requiring medical or surgical treatment, or causing his absence from work for more than seven days, a report thereof shall be made in writing and mailed to the board and to the injured employee named in said report on blanks to be procured from the board for this pur pose."
Section 8. 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 9. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1981. Insofar as any of the pro visions of this Act creates a substantive right, this Act shall apply only to those accidents or injuries occurring on or after July 1, 1981.
Section 10. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

A BILL
To amend Code Chapter 32-9, relating to county boards of education, as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 17, 1979 (Ga. Laws 1979, p. 1284), so as to require immunization of children entering public and private schools, day-care centers and nur series; to define terms; to provide for procedures, rules, and regulations; to declare crimes and penalties; to provide exceptions; to amend the "Children and Youth Act," approved March 14, 1963 (Ga.

Laws 1977, p. 787), so as to delete provisions on the above subjects; to provide for all related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Chapter 32-9, relating to county boards of education, as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 17, 1979 (Ga. Laws 1979, p. 1284), is hereby amended by striking Code Section 32-911 and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"32-911. Immunization, (a) As used in this Code section, the following terms have the following meanings:
(1) 'Certificate of immunization' means immunization shall be deemed to exist when certification is made by a physician licensed under the laws of this state or from an appropriate official of a local board of health, on a form provided by the Depart ment of Human Resources, that a certain named person has been immunized in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Department of Human Resources.
(2) 'Facility' means any public or private day-care center or nursery intended for the care, supervision, or instruction of children.
(3) 'Responsible official' means a school superintendent, a school principal, or a chief operating officer of a school or facility.
(4) 'School' means any public or private educational program or institution instructing children at any level or levels, kindergarten through twelfth grade, or chil dren of ages five through 19 if grade divisions are not used. (b) No child shall be admitted to or attend any school or facility in this state unless such child shall first have submitted a certificate of immunization to the responsible official of the school or facility. The responsible official of any school or facility may grant a waiver of the certification requirement for a justified reason. The waiver may extend from the date of first admittance or of first attendance, whichever is earlier, for 30 calendar days. The waiver may not be extended beyond 30 calendar days, and upon expiration of the waiver, the child shall not be admitted to or permitted to attend the school or facility unless the child submits a certificate of immunization. (c) The Department of Human Resources shall promulgate rules and regulations specifying those diseases against which immunization is required and the standards for such immunizations. The school or facility shall maintain on file the certificates of immunization for all children attending the school or facility. All facilities shall file a report annually with the Department of Human Resources. The report shall be filed on forms prepared by the Department of Human Resources and shall state the number of children attending the school or facility, the number of children who did not submit cer tificates of immunization within the waiver period, and the number of children who are exempted from the certification requirement for medical or religious reasons. (d) Any responsible official permitting any child to remain in a school or facility in violation of this Code section and any parent or guardian of any child who intentionally does not comply with the provisions of this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemean or and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than $100.00 or by imprisonment for not more than 12 months. The Department of Human Resources may adopt rules and regulations for the enforcement of this Code section. The Department

THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1981

1631

of Human Resources and the local board of health or either of them may institute a civil action in the superior court of the county in which the defendant resides for injunctive relief to prevent a threatened or continuing violation of any provision of this Code sec tion.
(e) If, after examination by the local board of health or any physician licensed under the laws of this state, or of any other state having comparable laws governing the licensure of physicians, any child to whom this Code section applies is found to have any physical disability which may make vaccination undesirable, a certificate to that effect issued by the local board of health or such physician licensed under the laws of this or such other state may be accepted in lieu of a certificate of immunization and shall exempt the child from having a certificate of immunization until the disability is relieved.
(f) The provisions of this Code section shall not apply to a child whose parent or legal guardian objects to immunization of the child on the grounds that such immunization conflicts with the religious beliefs of the parent or guardian; however, the immunization may be required in cases when such disease is in epidemic stages. For a child to be exempt from immunizations on religious grounds, the parent or guardian must first furnish the responsible official of the school or facility an affidavit in which the parent or guardian swears or affirms that the immunization required conflicts with the religious beliefs of the parent or guardian.
(g) During an epidemic or a threatened epidemic of any disease preventable by an immunization required by the Department of Human Resources, unimmunized children may be excluded from the school or facility until: (1) They are immunized against the disease, unless they present valid evidence or prior disease; or (2) The epidemic or threat no longer constitutes a significant public health danger.
(h) The certification requirement shall become effective for all children entering or attending facilities upon the effective date of this Act. The certification requirement shall apply to all children entering or attending schools:
(1) On September 1, 1981, for all such children entering or attending kindergarten or the first, ninth, tenth, eleventh or twelfth grades, or of the equivalent ages if grade divisions are not used;
(2) On September 1, 1982, for all such children entering or attending all grades, or of all ages if grade divisions are not used."
Section 2. The "Children and Youth Act," approved March 14, 1963 (Ga. Laws 1963, p. 81), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 23, 1977 (Ga. Laws 1977, p. 787), is hereby amended by striking in its entirety Section 27, relating to immunization of children attending day-care centers.
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.
