Laws 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess., p. 2373) and by an Act approved March 30, 1971 (Ga. Laws 1971, p. 2452), is hereby amended by striking Section 5 in its entirety and sub stituting in lieu thereof a new Section 5 to read as follows:
"Section 5. (a) The administration of said School District shall be vested in a board to be known as the Muscogee County Board of Education, hereinafter known as the 'Board of Education.' The Board of Education shall consist of members who at the time of their appointment shall be 21 years of age and bona fide residents of Columbus, Georgia, for at least 24 months. The members of said Board of Education shall be appointed by the grand juries of Muscogee County. The grand juries shall solicit recom mendations from the citizens of Muscogee County regarding nominees for said Board of Education. At least 30 days prior to a grand jury's making an appointment of a member of said Board of Education, such grand jury shall cause an advertisement to appear at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within Muscogee County. Such adver tisement shall state that the grand jury is considering nominations for membership on the Muscogee County Board of Education and that citizens may write to the grand jury to recommend names for consideration by the grand jury for such membership on said Board of Education. Said advertisement shall include a mailing address for the grand jury and such other information, including residency requirements that may be applica ble to prospective nominees, as the grand jury determines to be appropriate. Said adver tisement shall also state the date, time, and place that the grand jury shall meet for the purpose of considering nominations to said Board of Education. Only during the time that the grand jury is meeting for such purpose, such meeting shall be open to the pub lic, but citizens shall not have the right to address the grand jury at any such meeting except on the invitation of the grand jury. The vote on final selection shall be by secret ballot. The cost of advertisements required herein shall be paid by the Muscogee County Board of Education. No member of said Board shall be eligible for reappointment after such member has served two consecutive full terms of five years each on said Board until such member is off the Board for one year or more, when such member shall again be eligible for reappointment.
(b) The Board shall be composed of 15 members, and the grand jury shall appoint three members from each of the four council districts in Columbus, Georgia, and three members from the Muscogee County school district at large. The members appointed from council districts shall be bona fide residents of the respective council districts at the time of their appointment and during their terms of office. If a member from a council district ceases to be a resident of such district during a term of office, a vacancy shall thereby be created in such member's position on the Board. Members of the Board shall be appointed by the grand jury meeting in May of each year or at the next meeting of the grand jury thereafter. Members of the Board shall take office on the first Monday in January following their appointment. The Board shall be constituted, as required herein, effective on the first Monday in January, 1982, and thereafter.
(c) The initial membership of the Board as provided by subsection (b) shall be established as follows:
(1) During 1981, the grand jury shall appoint the three members from council dis trict 1 to take office on the first Monday in January, 1982, for terms as follows: one member shall be appointed for a term of five years, one member for a term of four years, and one member for a term of three years;
(2) The initial members from council district 2 shall be the three incumbent mem bers of the Board who reside within council district 2, and such members shall serve until the expiration of the terms to which they were appointed;
(3) The initial members from council district 3 shall be the incumbent member of the Board who resides within council district 3 and whose term of office expires on the first Monday in January, 1983, and the two incumbent members of the Board who reside within council district 3 and whose terms of office expire on the first Monday

(4) One of the initial members from council district 4 shall be appointed by the grand jury during 1981, and the member so appointed shall take office on the first Monday in January, 1982, for a term of five years. The remaining initial members from council district 4 shall be the two incumbent members of the Board who reside within council district 4, and such members sha'l serve until the expiration of the terms to which they were appointed;
(5) During 1981, the grand jury shall appoint the three initial at-large members. All three such members shall be appointed by the grand jury from the incumbent membership of the Board who reside within council district 3 but who were not con stituted council district 3 members under paragraph (3) of this subsection. For the purpose of allowing the grand jury to make the appointments from such incumbent membership, the terms to which such incumbent members were appointed are hereby shortened to expire on the first Monday in January, 1982. One of such members shall be appointed for a term of five years, one for a term of four years, and one for a term of three years. All such members shall take office on the first Monday in January, 1982. (d) Successors to the membership of the Board as constituted under subsection (c) of this Section and future successors shall be appointed by the grand jury during the year immediately preceding the expiration of the respective terms of office, and the members so appointed shall take office on the first Monday in January following their appointment for terms of five years. All members shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualified. The terms of all members shall expire on the first Monday in January upon the completion of the terms to which appointed. In appointing successors to the initial at-large members provided for in paragraph (5) of subsection (c), the grand jury shall make such appointments so that no two members shall be residents of the same council district. (e) All members of the Board shall serve without compensation. No person shall be qualified to serve as a member of said Board of Fducation while holding any kind of public office for which compensation is paid, ex.- ,;,: 'he office of notary public. Absence by a member of said Board for three eonsecutiv; me,"-..rigs shall be held to be a resigna tion from the Board, but such absence may be i-:-.:iyed by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. (f) All vacancies on said Board of Education, whether from death, resignation, dis qualification or otherwise, shall be filled by appointments by any grand jury for the unexpired terms.

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

Representative Phillips of the 91st requested the following explanation of his vote on HB 163 be recorded:
"Although I support most of the items in the appropriations Bill, including program improvements and needed salary increases for school personnel and state employees, I voted against HB 163 because it contained funds for the Georgia World Congress Center, committing approximately $180,000,000 of public funds to this faciHty at a time when I believe the state should avoid bonded indebtedness and stabilize e>penditures instead of increasing them."

A RESOLUTION Creating the Georgia Commission on Women's Opportunities; and for other purposes.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1981

1953

WHEREAS, the concept of equal opportunities for all has been central to the devel opment and tremendous expansion of our economy at every governmental level; and
WHEREAS, the significant role of women in economic life is keenly demonstrated by the dramatic increase in the number of single and married women who have steadily entered the labor force in industry, business, personal services, the professions, and the diverse areas of governmental and public service and by the significant increase in the length of the average work life of women; and
WHEREAS, experience indicates that action taken to improve the general, legal, and social status of any minority group tends to facilitate its integration in economic life and thus improve the full and effective participation of such individuals in all aspects of their economic, political, and social development; and
WHEREAS, most people today would not challenge women's claim to the right of access to vocational, technical, and professional training at all levels; the right of access to economic life without discrimination and to advancement in work life on the basis of qualification and merit; or the right to equal treatment in employment, including equal pay; and
WHEREAS, a critical problem is how to make these economic rights fully effective and how to transform them into practical opportunities; and
WHEREAS, a study is needed of Georgia statutes and regulations as well as of the formal and informal practices of the agencies and institutions of state government to determine whether any distinction, exclusion, or preference is made on the basis of sex which has the effect of nullifying or impairing equality of opportunities or treatment in employment or occupation and to determine when, in keeping with sound social policy, such statutes, regulations, or practices should be resolved or terminated.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. There is hereby created the Georgia Commission on Women's Opportuni ties. The commission shall be composed of 21 members as follows:
(1) Seven members of the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate; (2) Seven members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives; and (3) Seven members appointed by the Governor. The Governor's appointees shall not be officers or employees of state government but shall be citizens representing diverse business, professional, and service fields within the private sector.
Section 2. The commission shall conduct a comprehensive study of Georgia statutes and regulations, including the formal and informal practices of agencies and institutions of state government, to determine whether any distinction, exclusion, or preference is made on the basis of sex which has the effect of nullifying or impairing equal opportunity or treatment in employment or occupation and to determine when, in keeping with sound social policy, such statutes, regulations, or practices should be resolved or terminated.
Section 3. The first meeting of the commission shall be called by the Governor for June 15, 1981. At this meeting the commission shall organize and elect a chairman and such other officers from among its membership as are deemed necessary.
Section 4. The commission may request and, upon such request, shall be afforded the assistance and cooperation of the various agencies and institutions of state govern ment.
Section 5. All members of the commission shall receive the allowances authorized by law for legislative members of interim legislative committees. The allowances and all other funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from funds appro priated to or otherwise available to the legislative branch of government.

The annually apportioned dividend shall be deemed to be payable in cash within the meaning of subparagraph (A) above even though the policy provides that payment of such dividend is to be deferred for a specified period, provided such period does not exceed six years from the date of apportionment 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 provision is to be participating, it may provide that any divisible sur plus 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; (6) 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

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. The policy may provide
that if and when the total indebtedness on the policy, including interest due or accrued, equals or exceeds the amount of the loan value thereof, then the policy shall
terminate and become void, but not until at least 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 entitled to elect. No condition other than as herein provided shall be exacted
as a prerequisite to any such loan. This paragraph shall not apply to term insurance
or to term insurance benefits provided by rider or supplemental policy provisions or to any policy with a loan value of less than $25.00;

Upon written request, the compa ny will furnish an extension of such table beyond the year shown in the policy. Such values and benefits shall be calculated upon the assumption that there are no divi dends or paid-up additions credited to the policy and that there is no indebtedness to the insurer on the policy;
(8) 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 or reinstatement of any other indebted ness to the insurer upon the policy. All such sums may bear interest not exceeding 6 percent per annum compounded annually; provided, however, acceptance of all or any part of a premium more than 30 days in arrears by the agent or company without requiring reinstatement application shall continue the policy in force without showing any lapse of time;
(9) Title. On each such policy there shall be placed a title which shall briefly and accurately describe the nature and form of the policy;
(10) Payment of premiums. (A) A provision that all premiums shall be payable in advance either at the
home or district office or to any agent of the company upon delivery of a receipt signed by said agent. Such receipt shall bear the agent's license number and signa ture of one or more of the officers who shall be named in the policy.
(B) In the case of weekly premium policies, there shall be a provision that upon proper notice to the insurer, while premiums on the policy are not in default beyond the grace period, of the intention to pay future premiums directly to the insurer at its home office or any office designated by the insurer for the purpose, the insurer will, at the end of a period of 26 weeks from the due date of the first premium so paid and for any additional weekly premium payment thereafter, for which period such premiums are so paid continuously without default beyond the grace period, refund a stated percentage of the premiums in an amount which fairly represents the savings in collection expense.

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 or proof of the interest of the claimant or both.

All statements made by the appli cant in the application shall be deemed to be representations and not warranties. No statement in the application shall be used to void the policy or deny payment of a claim unless a copy of such application has been attached to and made a part of such policy when issued;
(13) Conversion privilege. A provision that upon written request and without evi
dence of insurability (except for any additional amount of insurance) an industrial life
policyholder is guaranteed the privilege of converting any industrial insurance policy
to any form of ordinary life insurance with less frequent premium payments regularly
issued by the insurer and the privilege of converting small industrial policies with the

(2) A provision giving the insurer the right to declare the policy void because the insured has had any disease or ailment, whether specified or not, or because the insured has received institutional, hospital, medical, or surgical treatment or attention. However, a policy may contain a provision which gives the insurer the right to declare the policy void if the insured has, within two years prior to the issuance of the policy, received institutional, hospital, medical, or surgical treatment or attention and the insured or claimant under the policy fails to show that the condition occasioning such treatment or attention was not of a serious nature or was not material to the risk. The policy may also contain a provision that the policy shall not become effective if on the date of the application for the policy the insured had knowledge that he was afflicted with any serious disease tending to shorten life, which fact was not shown on the application for the policy.
(3) A provision giving the insurer the right to declare the policy void because the insured has been rejected for insurance, unless such right be conditioned upon a show ing by the insurer that knowledge of such rejection would have led to a refusal by the insurer to make such contract.

Upon refusal or failure of the sponsor or surety to pay over the said sum, he shall initiate an action at law to recover the said sum.
(6) Upon recovery of such sum, it shall be paid into the treasury of the State of Georgia. (d) Denial of permits. The Commissioner may, in the exercise of his discretion, deny an application for a permit for a proposed marine event when, having considered the number of participants and spectators likely to be attracted to the event, the nature and purpose of the event, and the area in which it would be held, he determines:
(1) That the ability of the sponsor to enlist a sufficient number of authorized peace officers to enforce, during the course of the marine event, the applicable State Laws and the conditions of the marine event permit issued therefor and to control properly the number of participants is inadequate under the circumstances; or
(2) That the conduct of the proposed event will subject the waters upon which the event will be held or the adjoining upland resource to such extraordinary stress from pollution or damage due to overuse or create such extraordinary hazards to the safety or lives of participants or spectators that such pollution or damage or such safety haz ards cannot be successfully prevented or mitigated by permit conditions; or
(3) That the financial and manpower costs incurred by public agencies in the regu lation of a marine event are greater than the recreational benefits likely to accrue to the general public from the conduct of the proposed event. (e) Authority of peace officers. Any peace officer, including law enforcement person nel of the Department assigned to duty assisting in the supervision of any event permit ted under this Act, may enforce any of the criminal laws of this State, in connection with such assignment."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by adding, immediately preceding the period appearing at the end of Section^ 21 the following:
"including, but not limited to, regulations setting forth the criteria for determining when an indemnity bond shall be required and the appropriate amount thereof, and when a forfeiture bond shall be required, the appropriate amount thereof, and the condi tions for default thereunder. In adopting the indemnity bond regulations, the Board shall include, without limitation, criteria relating to the expense of restoring the water body and its surrounding area to the state of cleanliness existing before the event. In adopting the forfeiture bond regulations, the Board shall include, without limitation, cri teria relating to the magnitude of the event, the water body and surrounding area upon which it will be held, and the potential public safety hazard inherent in the event. The Board may, by regulation, establish bond forfeiture conditions for categories of noncompliance, including, but not limited to, failure or refusal to comply with requirements to provide facilities for the convenience of participants and spectators, requirements relating to public safety, and requirements relating to damage to the water body and surrounding area upon which the event was held."
Section 3. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act,

A BILL
To amend an Act known as "The Municipal Home Rule Act of 1965," approved March 26, 1965 (Ga. Laws 1965, p. 298), as amended, so as to authorize the governing authorities of municipalities to reapportion council or commission districts of such munici palities under specified conditions and limitations; to retain the authority of the General Assembly to enact certain local laws; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as "The Municipal Home Rule Act of 1965," approved March 26, 1965 (Ga. Laws 1965, p. 298), as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of subparagraph 1. of subsection (a) of Section 4, immediately following the word "amended", the following:
", or as provided in Section 5A of this Act",

THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1981

2089

so that when so amended subparagraph 1. of subsection (a) of Section 4 of said Act shall read as follows:
"1. Action affecting the composition, form, procedure for election or appointment, continuance in office and limitation thereof for the members of the Municipal Governing Authority, except as authorized in Title 34A of the Code of Georgia, as amended, or as it may hereafter be amended^ or as provided in Section 5A of this Act."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by adding between Sections 5 and 6 a new Section 5A to read as follows:
"Section 5A. (a) Subject to the limitations provided by this Section, the governing authority of any municipal corporation is hereby authorized to reapportion the election districts from which members of the municipal governing authority are elected following publication of the 1980 United States decennial census or any future such census. Such reapportionment of districts shall be effective for the election of members to the munici pal governing authority at the next regular general municipal election following the pub lication of the decennial census.
(b) The municipal governing authority shall by ordinance amend its charter pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 3 of this Act to reapportion the districts in accordance with the following specifications:
(1) Each reapportioned district shall be formed of contiguous territory, and the boundary lines of said district shall be the center lines of streets or other well-defined boundaries;
(2) Variation in population between such districts shall comply with the one person-one vote requirements of the United States Constitution; and
(3) The reapportionment shall be limited to adjusting the boundary lines of the existing districts only to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with the require ments of paragraph (2) above, and the number of members of the municipal governing body and the manner of electing such members, except for the adjustment of district boundary lines, shall not be changed by the municipal governing authority. (c) In addition to reapportionment following publication of the decennial census, a municipal governing authority shall reapportion districts pursuant to this Section if the annexation of additional territory to the corporate boundaries of the municipality has the effect of denying electors residing within the newly annexed territory the right to vote for the election of members of the municipal governing authority on substantially the same basis that the other electors of the municipality vote for members of the municipal governing authority. The reapportionment provided for herein shall meet the criteria specified in subsection (b) of this Section and shall be further limited to making only those adjustments in district boundary lines as may be reasonably necessary to include the newly annexed territory within such districts. Reapportionment under this subsection shall be effective for the next regular general municipal election following the annexation. (d) This Section shall not prohibit the General Assembly from enacting a local law at any time to amend the charter of a municipality to reapportion or otherwise change election districts from which members of the municipal governing authority are elected. If such action is taken by the General Assembly following publication of a decennial census, but before the first regular general municipal election following the publication of such census, the local Act of the General Assembly shall nullify the power given to the municipal governing authority by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to reappor tion districts following publication of that decennial census. If such action is taken by the General Assembly in conjunction with the annexation, by local Act of the General Assembly, of additional territory to the corporate boundaries of the municipality, the local Act of the General Assembly shall nullify the power and duty given to the munici pal governing authority by subsection (c) of this Section to reapportion districts as a result of that annexation."
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.

SR 7. By: Senators Greene of the 26th and Eldridge of the 7th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Services for the Aged Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, House Resolution 494-1306 of the regular 1980 session of the Georgia General Assembly created a Services for the Aged Study Committee to function during 1980; and
WHEREAS, the Services for the Aged Study Committee during 1980 engaged in a number of activities to assess the needs of the elderly and the adequacy of existing pro grams to meet these needs and prepared a comprehensive report with recommendations for needed action by the state; and
WHEREAS, members of the Services for the Aged Study Committee recognized that the committee work during 1980 was only a small beginning toward developing a compre hensive program of services for the aged in Georgia; and

THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1981

2091

WHEREAS, based on the work performed by the Services for the Aged Study Com mittee during 1980, the General Assembly recognizes the need for continued study of ser vices for the aged, especially in the areas of: taxation, transportation, home care and social services, mandatory retirement laws, nursing homes, health care, crimes against the elderly laws, housing and energy, employment, recreation, education, gerontological and geriatric training, protective services, and clarification of federal and state rules and regulations; and
WHEREAS, continued examination of aging service programs in both the public and private sectors is needed so as to make meaningful recommendations for improving and expanding services and legislation in the above areas; and
WHEREAS, meeting the needs of Georgia's elderly citizens is of utmost importance, requiring optimum legislative input and study; and
WHEREAS, the Services for the Aged Study Committee serves as an important link between Georgia's elderly citizens and members of the General Assembly, thus providing a mechanism whereby those elderly citizens may air their concerns and grievances and propose constructive suggestions for meeting the needs of the increasing numbers of elder ly in the state; and
WHEREAS, plans submitted to the committee dealing with coordinated transporta tion services for the elderly and with a comprehensive state plan for the elderly provide a needed data base upon which can be established a more adequate program for the aged of the state; but implementation of such a program requires continued oversight by the committee; and
WHEREAS, continuity of membership on the Services for the Aged Study Committee is necessary to avoid unnecessary reconsideration of problems already dealt with by the committee and to provide a demonstrated familiarity and concern with the problems of the aged.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is hereby created the Services for the Aged Study Committee to be composed of seven members of the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate and seven members of the House to be appointed by the Speaker of the House. The Presi dent of the Senate shall appoint the chairman of the committee, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall appoint the vice chairman of the committee. The commit tee shall meet upon the call of the chairman.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall be authorized to study and review existing programs serving the elderly and the means by which improved services can be developed, to prepare legislation necessary to improve on existing services, to deter mine the best manner to implement the comprehensive plans submitted to the committee, and to study budget proposals necessary to improve on existing services and to implement such improved services. The committee is further authorized to conduct meetings at such places, including places without the state, and at such times as it considers expedient and to do all other things consistent with this resolution which are necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and adequately its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the compensation and allowances provided by law for legislative members of interim legis lative committees but shall receive the same for not more than 15 days. The funds neces sary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall publish its find ings in a report and shall submit such report to the General Assembly not later than December 15, 1981, at which time the committee shall stand abolished. Such report shall contain needs of the aged along with recommendations as to how to facilitate participation of the aged in any new or standing programs.

home of said resident, exceeding $4,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for State of Georgia income tax purposes, is hereby granted an exemption of $4,000.00 on his homestead from all ad valorem taxation by the City of Palmetto as long as any such resident of the City of Palmetto actually occupies said homestead as his residence. The value of the homestead in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain sub ject to ad valorem taxation by the City of Palmetto.

"Any other provision of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, each resi dent of the City of Palmetto who is 65 years of age or older is hereby granted an exemp tion from all City of Palmetto ad valorem taxes, except those to pay interest on and retire bonded indebtedness, in the amount of $8,000.00 on a homestead owned and occu pied by him as a residence, if his adjusted gross income, together with the adjusted gross income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, does not exceed $8,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, adjusted gross income shall be as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as now or hereafter amended, but shall not include income or benefits which are received as retirement, survivor, or disability benefits under the Fed eral Social Security Act, or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension system, except such income or benefits which are in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as adjusted gross income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above-exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. In order to qualify for the exemption provided for herein, the taxpayer or his agent must file an affidavit with the city clerk of Palmetto giving his age and the amount of adjusted gross income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for federal income tax purposes and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the city clerk to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such tax exemption. The city clerk shall provide affi davit forms for this purpose. Such application shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption; and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto. It shall be necessary that a homeowner make application and file said affidavits each year thereafter before said exemption shall be continued. It shall be the duty of any such person to notify the city clerk in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption, including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1982."

WHEREAS, the State of Georgia was founded by General James Edward Oglethorpe in 1733 and was one of the original thirteen colonies of the United States of America; and
WHEREAS, Georgia was the only one of the original colonies chartered after the English Revolution and the completion of the English Bill of Rights, and all the benefits of those great principles were expressly conferred upon her citizens; and
WHEREAS, although the period of Georgia's colonial life was too short to mature political institutions, the character, ambitions, and ideals of her people during the period preceding the Revolutionary War dramatically influenced the establishment, evolution, and meaning of the state's organic law, codes, and session laws which have followed; and
WHEREAS, the record of Georgia is rich in patriotism, intellectual force, civil and military achievement, heroism, and honorable and sagacious statesmanship contributing significantly to the formation and history of our government; and
WHEREAS, Georgians have demonstrated much genius in administration, in jurisprudence, and in legislation substantially shaping the form and spirit of our general political and economic system and the underlying principles of each, and it is only fitting and proper that the 250th anniversary of the founding of the State of Georgia be appropri ately celebrated by the citizens of this grand and glorious State.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is hereby created the Georgia Semiquincentenary Commission to be composed of 25 members. Five of the members of the commission shall be appointed by the Governor, one member of the commission shall be appointed by the President of the Senate from each congressional district, and one member of the commission shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives from each congressional dis trict.

WHEREAS, Georgia was the youngest of the 13 original colonies when the American Revolution began; and
WHdREAS, Georgians were among the leaders in the drive for national independence; and Georgia, in 1788, was the fourth state to ratify the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, Georgia's population has grown from 82,548 in 1790 to over 5 million in 1981; and
WHEREAS, it is only fitting and proper that we celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Georgia.

Section 1.

It is recognized that, with any recodification encompassing the scope of Title 91A, a thor ough review must be undertaken to insure the integrity of the new law, to correct errors and omissions, and to continue to streamline, modernize, and make more efficient the administrative provisions applicable to the enforcement of our public revenue laws. This Act is the culmination of such a review by the General Assembly.
(b) It is the further intent of the General Assembly, in the event Acts other than this Act are enacted to amend Code Title 91A during the 1981 regular session of the Gen eral Assembly, that such Acts and this Act be construed whenever possible to be without conflict. In the event such a construction is not possible, it is the intent of the General Assembly that the Act last approved by the Governor shall prevail to the extent of the conflict.
Section 2. Code Title 91A, known as the Georgia Public Revenue Code, is hereby amended by striking from subsection (o) of Code Section 91A-102, relating to the defini tion of the term "Internal Revenue Code" for purposes of the Public Revenue Code, wher"e1v9e8r0t"h,e same shall appear, the following:

States Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as it existed on January 1, i980 1981. In the event a reference is made in this Title to the Internal Revenue Code as it existed on a specific date prior to January 1, 1980 1981, the term shall mean the Internal Revenue Code as it existed on such prior date. Unless otherwise provided in this Title, any term used in this Title shall have the same meaning as when used in a comparable provision or con text in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 in force and effect on January 1, 1980 1981."

The following Senate substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend an Act prohibiting certain practices in connection with real estate transac tions, approved March 1, 1979 (Ga. Laws 1979, p. 345), as amended by an Act approved March 20, 1980 (Ga. Laws 1980, p. 585), so as to clarify the acceleration and maturity pro visions; to provide that a transfer fee shall not be considered interest or a "rate of charge" for certain purposes; to change the provisions relative to the time allowed for approval or disapproval of sale or transfer and the assumption of indebtedness; to change the provi sions relating to the disapproval of the sale or transfer and the assumption of indebtedness based on credit worthiness; to authorize lenders to recover the actual costs incurred in obtaining a credit report on the person to whom real estate would be sold or transferred in addition to the fee for the sale or transfer; to provide that this Act shall not be applica ble to loans made by certain authorities; to provide for construction; to provide for other matters relative thereto; to provide for certain editorial changes; to provide an effective date and for the applicability of this Act; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other pur poses.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act prohibiting certain practices in connection with real estate trans actions, approved March 1, 1979 (Ga. Laws 1979, p. 345), as amended by an Act approved March 20, 1980 (Ga. Laws 1980, p. 585), is hereby amended by striking paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 2 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (1) to read as follows:
"(1) Accelerate or mature the indebtedness secured by such real estate on account of the sale or transfer of such real estate or on account of the assumption of such indebtedness except:
(A) If the person to whom the real estate would be sold or transferred does not intend to occupy the property as the person's principal residence, if such occupancy is a requirement imposed by federal regulatory authorities upon the lender; or
(B) As provided in paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this Section 2."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking from paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 2 the following sentence:
"Upon submission of proper proof, the clerk of the superior court in the county where the security instrument is recorded shall enter a notation on the recorded security instrument to the effect that the borrower has been relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby.", so that paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 2, when so amended, shall read as fol lows:

2478

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"(2) Increase the interest rate above the existing interest rate of the indebtedness unless: (A) the borrower who is primarily liable for repayment of the indebtedness shall request in writing to the lender at the time of the making of the application to the lend er for approval of the transfer or at any time prior to the granting or denying of approv al of said transfer by lender that borrower desires to be relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby, and (B) the lender fur nishes written evidence to said borrower that said borrower has been relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby. Upon submia-
instrumcnt ts recorded snail enter ft notation on trie recorded security instrument to tnc
instrument and the nete secured thereby. In the event the lender so relieves the borrow er of liability after having been requested to do so by the borrower, the lender may increase the interest rate on the indebtedness; provided, however, lender shall not esca late interest in excess of 1 percent per annum above the existing interest rate at the time of the transfer nor shall lender be entitled to escalate the interest rate at any time other than transfer of title and then not more often than once in any 24 month period. Any subsequent transfer of such property after 24 months from the time of the last escalation of interest shall likewise be limited to a 1 percent per annum increase above the interest rate of the indebtedness existing at the time of such subsequent transfer."
Section 3. Said Act is further amended by striking paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 2 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (3) to read as follows:
"(3) Charge, collect, or attempt to collect any transfer fee on account of the sale or transfer of such real estate or on account of the assumption of such indebtedness in excess of (A) one-half of 1 percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness out standing on the date of such transfer or $150.00, whichever is greater, in the event the lender does not relieve the borrower of liability for the repayment of the indebtedness, or (B) 1 percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness outstanding on the date of such transfer in the event the lender does not escalate the interest rate but does relieve the borrower of liability for the repayment of the indebtedness, or (C) one-half of 1 percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness outstanding on the date of such transfer or $250.00, whichever is greater, in the event the lender escalates the interest rate and relieves the borrower of liability for the repayment of the indebtedness. Any borrower who has been relieved of liability for the repayment of the indebtedness may submit his affidavit of such fact to the clerk of the superior court in the county where the security instrument is recorded who shall enter a notation on the recorded security instrument to the effect that the borrower has been relieved of liability under the terms of the security instrument and the note secured thereby. Any such transfer fee shall not be considered interest and shall not be taken into account in the calculation of interest and shall not be considered a 'rate of charge' as that term is defined in Section 2 of an Act regulating charges and interest on loans secured by secondary security deeds on certain residential property subject to a prior lien or security deed, approved March 16, 1966 (Ga. Laws 1966, p. 574), as now or hereafter amended."
Section 4. Said Act is further amended by striking paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 2 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (5) to read as follows:
"(5) Withhold approval or disapproval of the sale or transfer of such real estate and the assumption of the indebtedness beyond 50 days after receipt by the lender of the completed written application for same on such form as may be required by the lender (a copy of which shall be furnished to applicant) to determine the financial ability to retire the indebtedness of applicant according to the lender's terms, otherwise the sale or transfer and the assumption shall be approved. Provided, however, the parties by mutual agreement may extend the aforesaid period of time for a period not to exceed 30 days. The lender shall have the right, if permitted under the security instrument, to accelerate the indebtedness if the borrower transfers the property to a person if:

MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1981

2479

(A) The lender has reasonably determined, based upon the standards provided in this Act, that such person is financially incapable of retiring the indebtedness accord ing to the terms of the security instrument; or
(B) The lender is entitled under this Act and the security instrument to increase the interest rate on the indebtedness and the person to whom the real estate is trans ferred declines to agree to such increase. Such acceleration shall be permitted only within a 60 day period after the lender acquires actual knowledge of the sale or trans fer to such person."
Section 5. Said Act is further amended by striking the last sentence of paragraph (6) of subsection (a) of Section 2 in its entirety so that when so amended said paragraph (6) shall read as follows:
"(6) Disapprove the sale or transfer of such real estate and the assumption of the indebtedness for any reason other than the credit worthiness of the person to whom the real estate would be sold or transferred, based upon standards normally used by persons in the business of making loans on real estate in the same or similar circumstances, oth erwise any due-on-sale clause or similar provision in the security instrument shall be deemed to be against public policy and void. This paragraph shall net apply in those
indebtedness."
Section 6. Said Act is further amended by adding at the end of subsection (f) of Sec tion 2 the following sentence:
"Any law to the contrary notwithstanding, such increased interest and the outstanding indebtedness shall be secured by the security instrument securing the indebtedness with the same priority as if the increased interest rate were originally set forth in the note evidencing the indebtedness.", so that subsection (f) of Section 2, when so amended, shall read as follows:
"(f) In the event that the party assuming the indebtedness declines to agree to an increase in the interest rate as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this sec tion, said indebtedness may be prepaid without penalty or increased interest at any time within 60 days after said assumption; but if the party does not make such prepayment within the 60 day period, the party shall be liable for the increased interest rate from the date of the assumption, and any prepayment penalty provided for in the security instrument shall thereafter be in effect. Any law to the contrary notwithstanding, such increased interest and the outstanding indebtedness shall be secured by the security instrument securing the indebtedness with the same priority as if the increased interest rate were originally set forth in the note evidencing the indebtedness."
Section 7. Said Act is further amended by striking the period at the end of subsec tion (i) of Section 2 and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"or to loans made by the Georgia Residential Finance Authority, the Urban Residen tial Finance Authority of the City of Atlanta, Georgia, or other similar state or local authorities.", so that subsection (i) of Section 2, when so amended, shall read as follows:
"(i) This Act shall not be applicable to loans made by the Farmers Home Adminis tration which provide for interest subsidies or variable rates based on the income of the borrower or to loans made by the Georgia Residential Finance Authority, the Urban Residential Finance Authority of the City of Atlanta, Georgia^ or other similar state or local authorities."
Section 8. Said Act is further amended by adding at the end of Section 2 a new sub section (k) to read as follows:
"(k) In addition to the fee authorized by paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this sec tion, a lender may charge and collect a fee to recover the actual costs incurred by the lender in obtaining a credit report on the person to whom the real estate would be sold or transferred in instances where the borrower has requested to be relieved from liability for the indebtedness as well as in instances where the borrower has not made such

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

request, but no investigation by the lender to determine credit worthiness shall autho rize the lender to withhold approval or disapproval of the sale or transfer of the real estate beyond the time limitation specified in paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this sec tion."
Section 9. Said Act is further amended by adding a new subsection (1) at the end of Section 2 to read as follows:

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Code Title 56, known as the "Georgia Insurance Code," as amended, so as to provide optional coverage for certain medical or surgical procedures performed on an out-patient basis; to provide for clarification; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Title 56, known as the "Georgia Insurance Code," as amended, is hereby amended by adding at the end of Code Chapter 56-24 a new Code Section 56-2447 to read as follows:
"56-2447. Accident and sickness insurance policies; out-patient surgery; emergency medical or surgical procedures, (a) Optional coverages. Every insurer authorized to issue accident and sickness benefit plans, policies, or contracts shall be required to make available as an optional endorsement to all such policies that provide coverage for medi cal or surgical procedures which are required to be performed on an in-patient basis, an endorsement which provides at least the following coverages:
(1) Coverage which provides reimbursement for any covered surgical procedures performed on an out-patient basis when such procedures are performed by a licensed medical practitioner operating with the use of local anesthetic at a licensed out patient surgical facility affiliated with a licensed hospital, at a licensed freestanding surgical facility, at a surgical facility operated by a health maintenance organization, or at the office of a licensed medical practitioner; and

(2) 'Charges for facility services' means charges for such items as drugs and biologicals administered at the facility, trays, and bandages and casts which are fur nished incidentally to a physician's services and which are commonly furnished in a physician's office.
(3) 'General anesthetic' means an anesthetic that is complete and affects the entire body causing loss of consciousness when the anesthetic acts upon the brain. Such anesthetics are usually administered intravenously or through inhalation.

Sudden, unexpected, severe medical conditions or symptoms are those which are, or which give evidence of being, life threatening.

(7) 'Professional fees' means charges for identifiable professional services rendered by a physician to a patient in person which contribute either to the diagnosis of the condition or the treatment of the patient. (c) All payments made under the coverages provided for in this Code section shall be made in accordance with the schedule of benefits contained in the policy, if applica ble, or in accordance with the usual, customary, and reasonable professional fees and charges for facility services furnished in connection with such procedures. (d) The provisions of this subsection shall also apply to policies or contracts issued by a hospital service nonprofit corporation, a health care plan, a nonprofit medical ser vice corporation, a health maintenance organization, a fraternal benefit society, or any other similar entity. (e) The requirements of this Code section with respect to a group or blanket acci dent and sickness insurance benefit plan, policy, or contract shall be satisfied if the cov erage specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this Code section is made available to the master policyholder of such plan, policy, or contract. Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to require the group insurer, nonprofit corporation, health care plan, health maintenance organization, or master policyholder to provide or to make available such coverage to any certificateholder insured under such group poli cy, plan, or contract. (f) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to prohibit an insurer, nonprofit corporation, health care plan, or other person issuing any similar accident and sickness insurance benefit plan, policy, or contract from issuing or continuing to issue an accident and sickness insurance benefit plan, policy, or contract which provides benefits greater than the minimum benefits required to be made available under this Code section or from issuing any such plans, policies, or contracts which provide benefits which are gen erally more favorable to the insured than those required to be made available under this Code section."

(2) All such payments shall be made in compliance with the schedule of benefits, if any, contained in the policy, otherwise on the usual, customary, and reasonable pro fessional charges for such procedures when performed in a hospital on an inpatient
(3) The Commissioner shall have the authority to promulgate appropriate rules and regulations with the advice of the Department of Human Resources which shall contain a listing of approved medical or surgical procedures that the Commissioner of Human Resources has certified can be legally and safely performed on an outpatient basis.

The required bond shall be executed in favor of the state, in the amount of $300,000.00, with a surety company authorized to do business in this state, conditioned to pay damages not to exceed the amount of such bond, to any person aggrieved by any act of the principal named in such bond, which act is in violation of the provisions of this Act and would be grounds for denial, suspension, or revocation of a license under Sec tion 11 of this Act. In the alternative to the aforesaid bond requirement, the applicant may offer proof satisfactory to the board that it has obtained general liability insur ance from an errors and omissions or similar liability insurance carrier authorized to do business in this state. Such liability insurance shall be in the coverage amount of $300,000.00. Such bond or proof of insurance shall be filed, immediately upon the granting of a license, with the joint-secretary, state examining boards, by said licensee and shall be approved by the joint-secretary as to form and as to the solvency of the insurance carrier or surety. The prospective licensee may file the required proof of insurance or bond with the joint-secretary prior to the granting of a license, for the joint-secretary's approval as heretofore mentioned.
(2) Whenever any person shall file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in which it is alleged that the applicant is liable for damages under this Act, such per son, in order to secure his recovery, may give notice to the joint-secretary of such alleged liability and of the amount of damages claimed, after which notice the jointsecretary shall be bound to retain, subject to the order of the court in which the action is pending, a sufficient amount of the proceeds of the bond of the applicant to pay the judgment in said action.
(3) In the event that a judgment is rendered against the applicant in an action in which it is determined that the applicant is liable for damages under this Act, and the applicant has not paid such judgment within ten days of the date such judgment became final, then said person may petition the court for an order directing the jointsecretary to liquidate the bond or a portion thereof sufficient to pay such judgment to the extent the judgment may be satisfied with the proceeds of the bond.
(4) No licensee shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, a bond or liability insurance policy issued pursuant to this section, unless the board is so informed in writing by certified mail at least 45 days prior to the proposed cancellation. If the surety, insur ance carrier, or licensee fails to submit, within ten days of the effective date of cancel lation, a new bond, the board shall have the authority to revoke any license issued under this Act.
(e) Licenses issued pursuant to this section shall be for two or more years, as set by board rule, subject to the provisions of Code Section 84-104, as now or hereafter amended, and application for renewal shall be made on a form furnished by the joint-secretary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the duty of members of the State Patrol and agents of the Bureau of Investigation to enter any county or incorporated munici pality for the purpose of making arrests and otherwise enforcing any law of this State requiring segregation or separation of the white and colored races in any manner or activity, when request therefor is made by any citizen or official of such county or municipality.

(2) Any initial inquiry or arrest which is made pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be initiated only if a local law enforcement officer is not readily avail able and the member of the Georgia State Patrol reasonably believes that his failure to act could result in the commission of a criminal act or the escape of a person who has committed a criminal act. In any action taken by the Georgia State Patrol under paragraph (1), as soon as practicable under the circumstances, the Georgia State Patrol shall relinquish jurisdiction to the local law enforcement agency.
(g) The Georgia State Patrol shall cooperate with all law enforcement agencies of this State or any municipality, county, or other political subdivision thereof in enforcing the laws of this State, any other state, or the United States relating to the operation of motor vehicles.

(c) If an applicant for an agent's license other than as provided in subsection (3), below, and Code Section 56-808a, has:
(I) Successfully completed classroom courses in insurance satisfactory to the Commissioner at a school, college, or extension division thereof, or schools operated by an insurance company or an insurance association approved by the Commissioner for such applicant; or

(2) Where applicant's qualifications as required in subparts (II) or (III) of subsection (1) (c) are based in part upon the periods of employment at responsible insurance duties prescribed therein, the applicant shall submit with his application for license, on a form prescribed by the Commissioner, an affidavit setting forth the period of such employ ment and a statement that the same was substantially full time, and giving a brief abstract of the nature of the duties performed by the applicant. (3) An individual who was qualified to sit for an agent's examination at the time he was employed by the Commissioner and who while so employed was employed in responsible insurance duties as a full-time bona fide employee shall be permitted to take an examination if application for such examination is made within 90 days after the date of termination of his employment with the Commissioner. (4) This Section does not apply as to any temporary license provided for in Code Section 56-81 la or as to any licensee pursuant to Code Section 56-808a.
Section 2. Said Code Title is further amended by adding in Code Section 56-807a, relating to issuance of licenses, after the following:
"Chapter 56-13", wherever the same shall appear, the following:

so that when so amended Code Section 56-807a shall read as follows: "56-807a. Notice as to results of examination; issuance of license; types of licenses.--
(1) If the Commissioner is satisfied that the applicant is trustworthy and competent and the applicant, if required, has passed a written examination and has met the require ments of Chapter 56-13 and Section 56-803.1a, the Commissioner shall forthwith issue a license limited to the insurer and class or classes of insurance for which the agent is to be appointed. If the applicant has not passed his written examination or for any of the reasons set forth in Section 56-813a, the Commissioner shall notify the applicant and the insurer, in writing, that a license will not be issued to him.

(3) If, as to counselors, the Commissioner is satisfied that the applicant is trustwor thy and competent and the applicant, if required, has passed a written examination, and has met the requirements of Chapter 56-13 and Section 56-803.1a, the Commissioner shall forthwith issue a license."
