Re: Resignation - 16th House District
Dear Governor Busbee:
It is with very mixed emotions that I herewith tender my resignation from the seat I now hold in the Georgia House of Representatives, effective immediately. It is my intention to remove my residence from my legislative district within the next three weeks and, as a result, pursuant to the Georgia Constitution, my seat must be declared vacant.

Re: Resignation: 16th House District
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I have this date submitted to the Governor my resignation from the seat I now hold in the House of Representatives. This was done after much prayer and consideration and with mixed emotions. My reasons are many, the most immediate of which is that I am removing my residence from my district in the next few weeks and, according to our constitution, my seat is declared vacant.
There are other considerations some of which we have earlier discussed and I hope to discuss with you again shortly. Please know that this has been probably the most difficult decision of my life as I have enjoyed serving in the House much more than I could ever explain.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Veto No. 1 - S. B. 43 by Senator Barnes of the 33rd
Senate Bill 43 and House Bill 10 accomplish the same objectives and are practically verbatim in their textual content. The authors of both bills have consulted and arrived at the mutual decision that House Bill 10 is the more preferable bill to accomplish the technical amendments necessary to amend the Uniform Commercial Code to re-define the term "public sale". Therefore, the author of Senate Bill 43 requested that I sign into law House Bill 10 and veto Senate Bill 43. I have done so.
Veto No. 2 - S. B. 69 by Senator Coverdell of the 40th
Senate Bill 69 would make an employer who is engaged in the business of operating taxicabs liable for the actions of an independent contractor who intentionally causes unlawful detention, injuries or damages to other persons or property. Presumably the employer would remain insulated from the responsibility for the tortius conduct of the contractor if the negligence of the contractor is not intentional. To place upon an employer the responsibility to respond to injuries occasioned by an independent contractor who is not subject to the immediate direction and control of the employer is a proposition which in certain limited instances the General Assembly has addressed and found to be in the public interest. However, to require the employer to bear the burden of responding to the intentional tortious conduct of an independent contractor is an unconscionable burden to place upon the employer. Regardless of the care, prudence and sound judgment which might be exercised by the employer in selecting his contractor, it is a burden far too onerous to place upon the employer the requirement to possess the clairvoyance which is required to determine that the contractor will not under any of the myriad circumstances in which the contractor will be operating that he will not intentionally commit tortious acts. There is an overwhelming presumption that ordinary men of good will would not intentionally injure their fellow citizens. The insurance industry in general, for reasons of sound public policy, will not insure against intentional torts. An employer engaged in the taxi business would not only be required to respond for damages caused by a contractor operating one of the employer's vehicles, but to all intentional damages caused by any independent contractor employed in any capacity by the employer. It is not in the public interest to require an employer to bear the responsibility of meeting damages occasioned by the willful and intentional conduct of a contractor who is not subject to the immediate direction or control by the employer.
Veto No. 3 - S. B. 157 by Senator Sutton of the 9th
Senate Bill 157 amends the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia to:
1) transfer all creditable service acquired under the Georgia Legislative Retirement System to the Teachers' Retirement System or Employees' Retirement System at such time as a former member of LRS is employed in a position which is covered by TRS or ERS.
2) authorize a member of ERS to purchase service credits for active duty rendered in the armed forces of the United States at any time from January 1, 1954 until January 1, 1956.
3) remove the 4 '/2 percent maximum assumption for rates of interest earnings which are used in actuarial computations by the retirement system board of trustees.
4) permit otherwise mandatory retirement ages to be waived by the Board of Natural Resources for a conservation ranger in order to permit the ranger to accumulate 27 years of total creditable service in lieu of the presently imposed 25 year limit.
Three separate and distinct legal problems with the bill have been called to my attention. The first problem concerns the failure of the General Assembly to incorporate within the

MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1982

17

title of the bill the necessary language to cover the provisions which provide for the transfer of legislative service into TRS. The second problem concerns the implications of Section 1 which effect changes within three separate and distinct retirement systems which are the creatures of three separate and distinct acts of the General Assembly. The final legal deficiency concerns itself with the allegations that the General Assembly failed to observe and follow its own rules of legislative procedure and the possible violation of certain statutory requirements during the legislative processes leading to the enactment of Senate Bill 157.
In my opinion, none of the legal deficiencies standing alone are of sufficient magnitude to lead me to conclude that we have a patently unconstitutional bill which would demand an executive veto.
The service credit for military service provisions would result in an estimated unfunded liability to the system of approximately 14.7 million dollars. The fiscal impact of Section 1 has been impossible to determine. The remaining provisions of the bill have little or no adverse fiscal impact upon the systems.
There is nothing novel or unique about ERS permitting legislative service to achieve creditable service for ERS retirement purposes. In 1971, all 261 members of the General Assembly who were members of LRS were transferred by operation of law into ERS and received under ERS as creditable service, year for year, that time which was acquired by the member as creditable service under LRS. From 1971 until now, and in the future, each member of the General Assembly who is a member of ERS receives credit for each year | of service which he accumulates as a member of the General Assembly. Prior to 1971, 'I former members of the General Assembly who subsequently became members of ERS, | pursuant to legislative enactments, have been permitted to receive creditable service for v their time spent as a member of the General Assembly.
I have received several communications from members of the General Assembly subsequent to the enactment of the bill requesting that I exercise my veto authority, notwithstanding the fact that the legislator had approved of the bill at the time of his vote explaining that at the time he voted for the bill, he did not understand that the proposal would authorize legislative service to become creditable service under ERS or TRS. It is difficult to sustain this lack of understanding on the basis that the language of the bill is confusing or misleading because such is not the case. The provisions of Section 1 in very simple, precise and declarative, English statements make it plain and unambiguous that precisely the effect of Section 1 is to authorize such service transfers. What is not clear and readily ascertainable from reading the provisions of Section 1 is the very distinct possibility that if Senate Bill 157 is allowed to become law a member of the General Assembly who later becomes employed in a position covered by ERS or TRS, if his retirement benefits have become vested under LRS, could reap the benefits of both LRS and ERS or TRS by using that time expended as a member of the General Assembly as creditable service under each of the two systems.
The policy implications raised by the possibility of "double dipping", in all fairness to the members of the General Assembly on each side of the question, did not become an important issue until after enactment and resulted only then from the benefit of sufficient time . which allowed reflective analysis of the implications. This opportunity was not available to the General Assembly. A veto based solely on the policy issue of allowing legislative service to be transferred into other retirement systems cannot be sustained upon past historical policy decisions of former General Assemblies and Governors. History reveals many '., instances of such policy executions without the public outrage now being experienced.
{'. Because of the uncertainty of the implications of Section 1 of the bill, I will not allow the V.' bill to become law and perpetuate this uncertainty as to the status of vested retirement ^benefits under LRS and which most assuredly will necessitate litigation ultimately to y resolve this uncertainty. I do not foresee any irreparable injury which will result if an /..opportunity to carefully review each policy objective sought to be accomplished by Senate
Bill 157 is postponed until the next session of the General Assembly.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Veto No. 4 - S. B. 353 by Senator Littlefield of the 6th
Senate Bill 353 is a local bill affecting only Camden County. Subsequent to the passage of Senate Bill 353, additional legislation accomplishing the objectives sought by Senate Bill 353's passage was adopted in more preferable form. Accordingly, pursuant to the request of the author of Senate Bill 353,1 have vetoed this bill.
Veto No. 5 - H. B. 58 by Representative Johnson of the 66th
House Bill 58 would require that persons 65 years of age or older who do not desire to serve upon juries must notify the jury commissioners in writing of such fact and their names would then be removed from the jury list. Presently, the name of a person 65 years of age or older is removed from the jury list unless the jury commissioners are notified in writing that such an individual desires to serve upon juries. I am concerned that many of our citizens who are 65 years of age or older who do not care to serve upon juries will not be sufficiently aware that affirmative action is required to prevent them from being summoned for jury duty. If a burden of notification is to be imposed, I prefer that those actively desiring to serve bear the burden. I am in sympathy with the desire of the author of House Bill 58 to facilitate and encourage the service of our most experienced and wise citizens as jurors. In discussing my concerns with this legislation with the author, I have been informed that if my concerns should result in my disapproval of the bill, he intends to sponsor legislation at the next session of the General Assembly designed to facilitate the notification processes necessary to have the names of persons 65 years of age and older desiring to serve on juries placed on the jury list. In my judgment, such an approach to the problem is preferable to the solution embraced in House Bill 58. Accordingly, I have vetoed the Bill.
Veto No. 6 - H. B. 130 by Representatives Thomas of the 66th, Lawson of the 9th, Fuller of the 16th and others
House Bill 130 provides that the operator of a motor vehicle owes to his passengers the duty to exercise ordinary care for their safety. I question the wisdom of any proposal which could result in requiring that a single degree of care is applicable to all passengers of motor vehicles regardless of the status of the operator and without regard to the paying status of the passenger. Presently operators of motor vehicles transporting passengers for hire must exercise extraordinary diligence to protect the lives and persons of their passengers, such as school children. For sound reasons of public policy, Georgia has required those who voluntarily choose to earn their livelihood by engaging in the business of transporting for compensation passengers to be inordinately attentive to the safety of those who have entrusted the care of their persons and property to the carrier. Conversely, a guest passenger who bears no portion of the burden of the responsibility for his transportation can recover only those damages which he suffers as a result of the conduct of a grossly negligent operator of a motor vehicle. I support the longstanding differential treatment prescribed by case and statutory law for paying and nonpaying passengers within motor vehicles. I see no reason to permit this demonstrated, good, public policy to be altered. Therefore, I have vetoed House Bill 130.
Veto No. 7 - H. B. 377 by Representatives Snow of the 1st, Walker of the 115th, Evans of the 84th and others
House Bill 377 would authorize a district attorney or solicitor to enter a nolle prosequi in any pending indictment or accusation except during those periods of time in which it has been determined that the prosecuting official will not succeed himself without the necessity of securing the consent of the court. Presently a nolle prosequi may be entered only after an examination of the case has been conducted in open court and the court has consented to its entry. It is my belief that the present law is an important aspect of the checks and balances system of our government and constitutes an integral part of those procedures which contribute immeasurably to the degree of confidence in which our judicial processes are held by the public. The present system has operated well for more than

MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1982

100 years. I am not persuaded that a change allowing a unilateral decision of dismissal would be in the best interests of the public. Therefore, I have vetoed House Bill 377.
Veto No. 8 - H. B. 432 by Representatives Colwell of the 4th, Mullinax of the 69th, Twiggs of the 4th and others
House Bill 432 as originally introduced simply permitted corporate officers of a corporation to elect noncoverage of workers' compensation insurance. Separate and distinct legislation (Senate Bill 379) was proceeding through the legislative process which was designed to amend the Insurance Code to make applicable to workers' compensation insurance the open competition rating concept which is in place for insurance ratemaking purposes for fire and casualty insurance. At the closing stages of the General Assembly session, in anticipation of the passage of Senate Bill 379, House Bill 432 was amended to conform the workers' compensation title to the proposed changes contemplated to be brought about by the passage of Senate Bill 379. However, Senate Bill 379 did not pass. Without the necessary mechanics found within Senate Bill 379, I am informed by the Insurance Commissioner that if House Bill 432 were allowed to become law, the ability of the Insurance Department to regulate workers' compensation rates would be seriously undermined. For this reason, I have vetoed House Bill 432.
Veto No. 9 - H. B. 639 by Representatives Dent of the 85th and Cheeks of the 89th
House Bill 639 amends the Act which created the Augusta-Richmond County Coliseum Authority to delete therefrom the power of the Authority to sue and be sued. Additionally, the bill declares that the General Assembly reaffirms the proposition that the doctrine of sovereign immunity is applicable to the Authority. The General Assembly has created by legislative enactment literally hundreds of authorities in order to bring to fruition projects which the State or its political subdivisions could not otherwise execute or carry out with the degree of facility which an authority's capabilities permitted. In order to permit these activities, it has been paramount that it be abundantly clear that the particular authority is not the alter ego of the State or is not the alter ego of one of the State's political subdivisions. Otherwise, the flexibility of the authority's powers and duties could be limited by many of the restrictions which are applicable to the State, its agencies and political subdivisions. To permit a declaration by the General Assembly to become enshrined in the State's statutory law that the applicability of the doctrine of sovereign immunity to this particular Authority is reaffirmed has unfathomed implications which could be adverse to the interests of all authorities. I cannot permit this uncertainty to jeopardize the various projects being operated by hundreds of authorities. Therefore, I have vetoed House Bill 639.
Veto No. 10 - H. B. 1021 by Representatives Burruss and Aiken of the 21st, Darden and Wilson of the 19th
House Bill 1021 is a local bill affecting only Cobb County. After its passage, it was discovered that House Bill 1021 would accomplish unintended changes. Therefore, pursuant to the request of the delegation representing Cobb County, I have vetoed House Bill 1021.
Veto No. 11 - H. B. 1063 by Representatives Childs of the 51st, Burton of the 47th, Hawkins of the 50th and others
House Bill 1063 was one of a series of bills updating the population figures of certain "population acts". In updating the population figures for one county affected by House Bill 1063, another county was inadvertently excluded. Therefore, pursuant to the request . of the author of House Bill 1063, I have not allowed the bill to become law.
. Veto No. 12 - H. B. 272 by Representative Murphy of the 18th
House Bill 272 would provide that an applicant for certification as a peace officer would . not be disqualified by virtue of the fact that the applicant had been convicted of a felony if the applicant has received a pardon for the crime for which he was convicted.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The democratic processes of this Nation and State are no more nobly or appropriately illustrated than through the observance of the legislative process. It is through these processes, in a forum composed of a widely representative and diverse body, that the people's will is determined. It is through these processes that a proposal which is the subject matter of a bill or resolution is probed, evaluated, and debated and perfected. It is within this crucible of the committee system, of free and open floor debate, that proposals which are not worthy are rejected, that proposals which are commendable but flawed are perfected and honed to the fine cutting edge required of all proposals which will become the stated public policy of this State.

House Bill 272 represents no better example or more dramatically illustrates the failure of the legislative process to function as it is intended and in a manner in which it must operate if the people's interest is to be adequately adhered to by the General Assembly of Georgia. The General Assembly is the voice of the people and represents the collective wisdom of this State's citizens. House Bill 272 received one negative vote and 191 affirmative votes in the General Assembly. No other measure passed by the General Assembly which is before me has received a larger negative response from the public in general and from the law enforcement community in particular. I can state that, judging by my mail, it is the most disfavored bill or resolution which I have had under consideration. If any law enforcement or criminal justice agency supports House Bill 272, I am not aware of it. My impression, gleaned from my mail, leads me to believe that the law enforcement community unanimously disapproves of the concept of House Bill 272. To my knowledge, local government officials have no other opinion for this legislation other than of a negative nature.
It is a disservice to the proponent of any legislative proposition that he be denied the opportunity to profit from the views and suggestions of those who find fault with the merits of his proposal. It is a disservice to the people of this State also that only after a bill has completed its travels through two substantive committees of the General Assembly charged with reviewing and perfecting legislation dealing with issues of public safety, and then after scrutiny and debate by all 236 of the people's elected representatives, that the public's view of the legislation which is now so universally banned as unwise, led only one member of the General Assembly to express a negative response to this proposal. The bill passed with no amendments offered or accepted.

I have shared public service with the author of this bill for more than twenty years. I do not believe for one moment that the expressions of almost universal opposition to the solution which he deemed to be correct and appropriate for the perceived problem would have gone unheeded if he had been made aware of the degree of disfavor in which his proposal was held. The author determined that in fact the present processes for the administration of the certification of peace officers permits convicted* felons, who are artful enough to conceal their convictions, to be certified as acceptable peace officers. Those applicants lacking such artfulness cannot be certified. He proposed a solution to the problem. His fellow legislators tested the winds of public opinion and then embraced his suggested solution without change or opposition.
I now must judge the merits of the bill possessed with the knowledge which I have of its public acceptance. I am persuaded that the approach suggested by House Bill 272 to the problem is not the best solution to a very real problem which has been brought to the public's attention by the author of this bill. I believe that it is imperative that the people continue to enjoy the highest regard for, and continue to repose the highest confidence in, the integrity and professional capabilities of those who are charged with the responsibility to protect their lives and property from the criminal element. If I were to sign House Bill 272, I am convinced that the public's confidence in their law enforcement personnel and sense of security would be seriously undermined. Therefore, I have vetoed House Bill 272 with the hope that a more appropriate solution to a very real and present problem will be found at the next session of the General Assembly.

The hour of convening the Joint Session pursuant to HR 506 having arrived, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and the Joint Session, convened for the purpose of hearing an address from the Governor, was called to order by the President of the Senate, Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller.

The Resolution calling for the Joint Session was read.
Accompanied by the Committee of Escort and other distinguished guests, His Excellency, Governor George D. Busbee appeared upon the floor of the House and delivered the following address:
STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS BY
GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE HOUSE CHAMBER - STATE CAPITOL
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
The natural inclination in this my eighth and last State of the State address might be to recite our accomplishments and get a little sentimental.
Fortunately for you and perhaps somewhat unfortunately for all of us we don't have the luxury this year of basking in the glow of our records and slapping each other on the back.
The year 1982 is going to be the toughest year from an economic point of view since 1975, the year I took office.
As I reflect back over the seven previous State of the State messages, and as we experience the second recession during my administration, I can tell you I have learned the term deja vu and I fully appreciate it today.
Back in 1975 when we faced economic problems as we do today, I stated:
There are agonizing problems to be faced in this complex world in which we live, but few easy answers. It will take a partnership of you and me and every concerned Georgian to solve those problems.
I further stated that:
I need your help. I implore your help and support in this endeavor.
Then, as we joined hands at the next regular session and finished cutting $176 million out of the existing budget, I made this observation:

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1982

27

To provide effective legislative leadership or executive leadership in an era of limitations requires extra effort, extra work at weighing priorities and extra commitment to the details of good government.
I further stated:
Let us pledge today to keep those commitments, to demonstrate by our actions that recession does not mean retreat on the important issues, and that real progress will not be postponed.
During that crisis this General Assembly rose to meet the challenge in a most admirable and courageous manner.
You were fiscally responsible.
During the calm that followed, we set our priorities and worked together in better times, and as a result we have seen the greatest economic growth this state has ever experienced. We paid down the bonded indebtedness of this state in good times.
One of the wisest and most prudent decisions of this fiscally responsible General Assembly was the creation by law of the revenue shortfall reserve following the last recession. It provided a buffer against economic disaster, and it has grown to a level of $93 million. Under the law, we have been banking three percent of prior year's revenues each year of its existence.
Because of this extra effort on your part, while we do have some economic problems, we do not have the fiscal dilemma experienced by many states that are now on the verge of bankruptcy. After massive tax increases, some states still cannot make ends meet. They have exhausted their unemployment trust funds and have even higher unemployment rates.
Notwithstanding the fact that you have already cut the fat out of government and have been fiscally responsible in the past, we now face another recession: an economic crisis.
I need your help again. And as I implore your help and support in this endeavor, I have no doubt but that you will again rise to the occasion.
I will discuss the state's economy and fiscal condition in greater detail when I present the budget message on Thursday. But I can tell you now that we are not yet at the point of dipping into the revenue shortfall reserve or raising taxes.
Last year at this time, I spoke to you in hopeful terms about the new federalism the chance at long last to restore the balance between the federal and state governments. Since that time, I have devoted many long hours to meetings at The White House and on Capitol Hill in Washington, and I regret to report to you today that the progress we had envisioned simply has not been achieved. Federal budget cuts have been made largely on the backs of state and local governments. But they've been made without the promised concurrent return of flexibility to the states to have a say in how the federal money we do receive is spent. The funds have been cut but the strings have not.
We hear promises of budget cuts in the federal bureaucracy but the only cuts we've seen fall on the shoulders of state and local governments.
It has been my position from the beginning that we can swallow our share of cuts at : the state level if we have the flexibility to manage federal funds....if we are allowed to ; spend available resources where the needs actually exist.
We have suffered two rounds of budget cuts by the President and the Congress in the total amount of $204 million. I have recommended that you pick up less than 8/10 of one percent of these cuts with state funds.

28

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I might point out that you are yet to face the third round of federal cuts that are now being proposed.
Naturally, there are many things I wish we could have accomplished in the coming year had the funding been available.
However, austerity has not been totally devoid of benefits. We haven't increased the state payroll, except where unavoidable, in order to staff new prisons. We have learned to provide better services to more people with less money.
Test scores of our public school students have risen steadily because of the emphasis we have placed on compensatory education and because we have gotten back to the basics.
Even though we have made many improvements throughout state government, now is not the time to rest on our laurels especially during a recession.
The time has come to do away with social promotions from our high schools. We now have competency-based teacher certification....but we do not have competency-based high school diplomas.
In education, we will....with your help....go forward with the twelfth grade exit exam and the high school remedial instruction necessary to make it legal and to make it work. We also will enrich to a significant degree the vocational education opportunities for our young men and women.
In corrections, we will....with your help....end the local jail backlog problem once and for all by expanding our prison bed space through renovations and new construction. That is my highest priority for this session. We also must consider fresh alternatives to incarceration, including intensive probation the cost of which would be borne by fees paid by the probationer.
In law enforcement, we will....with your help....increase the land, air and sea battle with the drug importers who are corrupting not only our youth but some of our businessmen and public officials with the lure of illicit dollars. We will....with your help....bolster the professional skills of our law enforcement officers, our correctional officers and our firefighters by building the Public Safety Training Center.
In economic development, we will....with your help....concentrate on the opportunities that cannot and should not be missed because of high interest rates. Although new plant announcements may lag for the immediate future, we must be forward-thinking enough to proceed with the expansion of the World Congress Center in order to take advantage of the millions of dollars in business and state revenues to be generated by trade shows and exhibits already booked.
We also must proceed with the expansion of our ports to avoid losing the momentum we now enjoy in our competition with other eastern seaboard ports. Both the World Congress Center and ports expansions received your approval last year, but were delayed by conditions in the bond market. These projects must not be delayed another year. To do so would be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
We also must proceed with construction of our Advanced Technology Development Center if we are to remain in the economic mainstream. High technology is where the action is in economic development, and we can delay no further our solid commitment in this area.
In transportation, we will....with your help....continue our popular local roads assistance program which has given cities and counties throughout Georgia vastly improved streets and roads at no expense to local property taxpayers.
Despite tight budgets, we have maintained stability and continuity in government and in taxation, factors which are more compelling to potential investors than you might imagine.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1982

29

I do not plan to take it easy in my final year as governor because we've got problems to solve....jobs to create....duties to perform....and commitments to fulfill.
One of those commitments is a new, modern, easily understandable State Constitution.
You in this General Assembly did an admirable job of rewriting our state's basic document at the Special Session, and your work product has survived the process of Mondaymorning quarterbacking. The proposed constitution you produced is remarkably free of flaws, according to the opinions of some of this state's leading lawyers.
I urge you to make adjustments only in one area, generally agreed upon at the conclusion of the Special Session and that is in regard to the powers of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
I know that many of you have thought of amendments that might well improve the proposed constitution. However, to open up the process for a spate of amendments at this juncture would, in my opinion, be a grave mistake. To reopen debate and make substantive changes at this juncture would be harmful to the proposed constitution's chance of approval by the voters at the November general election.
At this time, copies of the document you approved at the special session have been widely distributed and studied. Changes at this point would only spawn confusion and suspicion. I urge you to use restraint in proposing amendments, especially in view of the fact that we've got all that we can say grace over at this session.
You are going to be asked to expedite certain appropriations during the first two weeks of the session.
You might possibly face reapportionment to some extent.
There are some issues such as the Equal Rights Amendment that have already been thoroughly debated. I have written each of you and expressed my position and I think that by now many of you have formed your opinion, so I will not reiterate what I have already said to each of you. However, I think the ERA is needed to guarantee equality for all Georgians, and I ask you to keep an open mind as this important issue is debated.
I do feel that some of these issues should be resolved in the early part of this session so that you will have more time to deliberate on the budget and face some other crises that we have in this state.
This is going to be a hard year with many hard tasks ahead, but the greatest responsibility facing you as legislators is to resolve our jail and prison overcrowding crisis. I know you'd rather put the money anywhere else in state government. Prisons are not popular. Building prisons doesn't win votes. But we are stacked up in our jails and our prisons and this is a responsibility we've got to face. It won't resolve itself and it won't go away.
The sheriffs and county commissioners of this state have joined with the Office of Planning and Budget and your legislative budget office in surveying every inch of space in our 19 state prison institutions. They have determined that the maximum operating capacity in our state institutions is 9,544 inmates.
The study also identifies six institutions where renovations are possible that could convert existing space into an additional 829 bed spaces. Three new prisons with a design capacity of 1,521 will be completely operational between now and December. In addition, there are 2,400 spaces in county work camps and 478 in the state's transition centers. All of these totals add up to a prison capacity of 14,772 at the end of 1982.
For the first time in our state, the Governor, Legislature, Department of Offender Rehabilitation, Pardons and Paroles Board, and local officials know for certain the absolute maximum capacity of our prisons.

30

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I am cognizant of the fact that during my administration you have already appropriated more than $100 million for prison construction. However, because of the increase in our prison population, we still have this backlog in our local jails.
It is not only the responsibility of the Legislature to appropriate money to increase the capacity of our prison system. It is also your responsibility to define by law what is to be done when we experience the problem of what to do in a situation when we have more prisoners than we have capacity.
You know that you can only put 32 ounces in a quart. Everybody has to be somewhere.
We could do as they have done in Alabama and have the excess released on eight days' notice by a federal judge. Or we can continue to have mass releases by the Pardons and Paroles Board when the excess demand becomes unmanageable.
But I think when we have such a temporary crisis, it would be best to have some mechanism set by law so that the least dangerous minor offenders could be released and the people could be protected from the release of hardened criminals.
Other states have this same problem. After reviewing what the legislatures have done in other states, I have made a recommendation to you for a relief valve until you can build additional capacity.
If you have a better solution on how to meet excess demands, please come forward. But please don't play ostrich and demand the impossible of housing prisoners where you and I have not provided the space.
We are all looking for cheaper space and other alternatives than building new prisons.
It costs the state about $55,000 per prisoner to build a prison.
We have been trying to convert cheaper existing facilities. The Speaker has even proposed that we explore the possibility of converting abandoned schools.
If we are for law and order, we've got to stand up like men and women and provide both the space and such alternatives to full time incarceration as intensive daily probation, the cost of which would be borne by the probationer himself.
We have to have more transition centers and diversion centers because while we are emptying the jails of 2,160 now in backlog, there will be more than 7,000 new admissions to our prison system, based on an average between 1974 and 1980.
And if we want our streets cleared of the rapists, armed robbers and murderers, we've got to make room for long-term incarceration of these hardened criminals by providing a formal mechanism a safety valve for releasing the non-violent, minor offenders who are within six months of release anyway at such time as our prison system reaches maximum capacity.
On a related topic, many Georgians are understandably disturbed and upset over the fact that the death penalty has not been carried out in this state despite the fact that we have on the books a capital punishment law that has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
I favor the death penalty. When I was a member of the House, I helped write a death penalty statute based on the standards handed down by the Supreme Court.
I share the frustration of those Georgians who don't understand how violent murder can take place, juries can convict and the perpetrators spend years on death row.
But here we are, twelve days into 1982 and we have 91 persons on death row, and others recently convicted and sentenced to die who are still in county jails.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1982

31

I can tell you why the death penalty has not been imposed, but I can't begin to justify it. There are eleven legal steps between indictment and carrying out the death penalty. There are potentially three separate trips to the United States Supreme Court and two separate trips to the Georgia Supreme Court.
The state has to stay within the legal framework and be cognizant of rights, but I am pleased to report to you today that Attorney General Mike Bowers has directed his staff to take every legal step available to bring appeals to a swift conclusion and carry out the law.
His staff is filing responses to appeals well in advance of the deadlines set by the courts. Just last week, the Attorney General notified the chief judges of the three United States Court Districts in Georgia that the state will under no circumstance acquiesce to further stays pending appeals in death penalty cases. The state intends to fight these stays rather than simply going along.
You are to be commended for passing a law unifying the appeals process before the Georgia Supreme Court in capital felony cases.
Right now, there is significant potential that certain appeals are nearing the end of their string. Three death row inmates are running out of steps in the appeals process, and it is probable that we will see the death penalty imposed this year. It is my belief that the death penalty is the only appropriate sanction against the kind of violence we have witnessed in recent months.
During this administration we have worked in a climate of mutual respect. I have not shifted executive decisions to the Legislature nor avoided responsibility for those decisions.
We have not played the game of trying to label one branch of government as the "spending" branch and another as the "saving" branch.
We have not played the "credit" game to see who gets political credit for popular causes....and the political blame for unpopular decisions.
That spirit of cooperation....that willingness to work together....is a major factor in the sound condition of our state today....and I want you to know that I appreciate the job you've done.
Again, this session I pledge my cooperation, and I ask for yours. Again, this Session may we not be rivals for power, but let us be partners in progress.

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

The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

The Speaker called the House to order.

Representative Burruss of the 21st moved that the House do now adjourn until 10:00 o'clock, tomorrow morning and the motion prevailed.
The Speaker announced the House adjourned until 10:00 o'clock, tomorrow morning.

BUDGET MESSAGE BY
GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE HOUSE CHAMBER - STATE CAPITOL
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Thursday, January 14, 1982, at Noon
>, The most frequently asked question on the eve of each legislative session is always the :'/, same: "What will be the biggest issue faced by the General Assembly this year?" Ninety3? nine out of 100 Georgians familiar with activities under the gold dome will respond, "The ' Budget."
v ":; This has been true ever since we passed the 1962 Budget Act and it likely will be true W into the long future. The budget is the lifeblood of government. It pumps the money into

56

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

our programs and is used to establish priorities. It will be the master key in fiscal year 1983 to the expenditure of $6 billion, including all funds.
As I have frequently mentioned these past two weeks, the state's budget situation this year is too reminiscent of my first year in office....recession....a declining rate of revenue growth....high inflation, although it is moderating somewhat major needs exceeding available revenue....the loss of $204 million in federal funds in 1982 and a further loss of $37 million in 1983....the two percent austerity cuts which you made last year and which I have carried forward into 1983.
Reflecting these facts, I have already recommended to you the smallest increase in an existing budget since early in my Administration. This increase is totally from surplus.
Instead of increasing the 1982 revenue estimate in mid-year, there are some Georgians who would like to see it decreased. I remain confident, however, in the estimate. If we fall short, there are tools in my possession to make late-year cuts in spending. Also, we have more than $93 million in the Revenue Shortfall Reserve. With these tools available, I can assure you there will be no deficit spending.
For fiscal year 1983, I am recommending a revenue growth of $346 million, which would increase our revenue collections to $3.777 billion an increase of 10.1 percent.
Ironically, our budget for 1983 is the same as our revenue estimate. This is a first in my memory. In years past we have always carried forward a surplus. This shows how tight things are this year.
The proposed $3.777 billion budget is only $255 million over the amended budget for 1982 which I announced last week an increase of only 7.2 percent.
You will not find many new programs in my 1983 proposals. Except for pay increases the funds will mostly provide modest increases to deliver the same services.
Concerning pay raises, I am recommending an increase of 6.5 percent for our teachers and 5.5 percent for our state employees. The total cost will be just under $130 million, or more than half the difference between my amended 1982 and 1983 recommendations.
The few improvements in my recommendations concentrate primarily on a few areas which I think are important to the people of Georgia.
My number one priority at this session is to provide sufficient funds and necessary changes in law to empty our 140 county jails of all convicted felons who should be in our state prisons. This won't be easy, however, since our prisons are full and the three newprisons opening between now and next December will not provide sufficient space to empty the jails and take all newly sentenced prisoners 15 days after the state receives formal notice of pick-up.
I believe we can accomplish this goal despite the problems...and I have presented a comprehensive, balanced plan that I believe will work. I have presented it at length to your Appropriations Committees and discussed it in my "State of the State" address. Instead of going through the plan again today, let me amplify on some points that are important.
Some Georgians have wondered about the urgency of getting the convicted felons out of county jails. While the jail backlog problem has existed for many years, it has intensified over the past year. These convicted felons legally belong in the prison system. Local property owners are, in effect, subsidizing the upkeep of state prisoners.
Forty-six counties of the 140 that have jails are operating them under a court order or are involved in litigation related to "Conditions of confinement" and overcrowding. The state should be helping counties, not making matters worse for them.
In the 10 days since my plan has been made public, there has been a lot of debate about it. There seems to be two divergent viewpoints. One group wants to lock up all

THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1982

57

offenders. We can't build new prisons fast enough to satisfy them. The other segment says the state can't afford even to build the new institutions I have proposed.
Obviously, Georgia must decide which direction it wants to take.
The cost of building and operating prisons is high. Construction represents only six percent of the cost of a prison over a 30 year span. The new Dodge Correctional Institution opening this year cost $10.8 million and was designed for 386 inmates. If you project a five percent inflation rate, it will cost us $171.7 million to operate that medium-security prison over the next 30 years. If we built enough new prisons of this type to empty our jails of state prisoners, the cost to Georgia taxpayers in construction and operation over the next 30 years would exceed $1 billion.
Now, let me approach this problem from the viewpoint of what has actually happened. If you pass the $140.5 million Offender Rehabilitation budget I have proposed for 1983, it will represent a spending level seven and one-half times greater than it was in 1971 just 12 years ago. The number of employees to staff the prisons will have increased by three and one-fourth times the 1971 level.
Let me express it another-way. If you fund my recommendations for positions in fiscal year 1983, then we will have added 2,687 new positions to DOR since I took office, yet for all of state government we have only added 2,510 new employees. That means we have actually cut other state agencies to give DOR 177 employees.
There is another point I want you to ponder. Among all nations, the Soviet Union and the Union of South Africa imprison the greatest proportion of their citizens. Not only does Georgia lead all other states in locking up our citizens, but we put behind bars a greater proportion than either the Soviet Union or South Africa. In short, there isn't another government on the face of the globe that locks up more people than we do.
While I think we must build some new prisons, that is not the answer to our problems. We must consider alternative solutions and I think my plan balances all of the alternatives available to us. As you consider the plan, I hope you will think about these points.
Out of an increase of almost $23 million for Human Resources, I am proposing that we invest $9.6 million to help meet the basic necessities for the needy children of our state.
Payments to families temporarily taking care of our foster children have been one of the disgraces of state government. We now pay only $4.89 a day to families who keep orphans and homeless children who are under state care. This $4.89 a day is supposed to provide food, clothing, shelter, transportation and incidental drugs.
I am recommending new funds totaling $5.6 million to increase residential rates to a uniform $9.04 per day for family foster care, emergency shelter care, supportive living and community residential services, and to $10.45 per day for institutional foster care.
These funds will provide care for over 5,000 children per month during fiscal year 1983.
For our children still living with a parent, usually the mother, who is not able to fully provide for their financial needs, and who must receive ,AFDC benefit payments for basic livelihood, I am proposing a six percent increase in AFDC benefits.
There are some critics of this program who believe the benefits go to parents who are just too lazy to work, but we must remember that 70 percent of the actual recipients are children. It is not their fault that their fathers have left home and their mothers are too impoverished to care for them. The state must provide for their needs until another program can force their fathers to meet this responsibility or help their mothers get a job, if they are able to work.

58

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

For those parents, usually the father, who abandon these children, I am recommending an expanded program to go after them and make them care for their children, which removes them from the AFDC rolls.
I am referring to the Child Support Recovery Program. We are expected to collect $9.8 million this year in connection with 12,600 cases. I am recommending 87 new positions in an effort to increase collections to $15 million and increase the number of parents paying support by 2,000.
There are thousands of adult citizens who cannot provide for their own care and the Medicaid program is designed to help them. In a speech to the joint House and Senate Appropriations Committees last week, I requested new funds totaling $17.8 million to pay the state's portion of a $48.9 million increase in Medicaid benefits the maximum increase possible without paying a penalty.
I realize the $67 million in Medicaid cuts imposed November 1 has been controversial, but the cuts were necessary because expenditures were exceeding our income. And to appropriate funds to equal the rate of usage would have meant paying a penalty of $11.3 million to the federal government. With our slow economy and the many other needs of government, we should hold Medicaid expenditures within the growth limit set by the federal government. That's what I have done in my recommendations.
Education has always been important to me. Besides recommending further increases in maintenance and operation, school transportation and other operating expenses, I am urging you to consider a broadened approach in two important areas.
The first is in compensatory education. In a commitment to quality, the State Board of Education will require students who graduate from high school in 1985 and beyond to possess the basic skills needed to become productive and successful members of society. This policy has your support and it has mine.
However, we estimate that 20 percent of our high school students will need remedial help to pass the required tests for graduation. I am asking you to appropriate $7.2 million to provide this remedial help in grades nine and ten.
We have a clear-cut choice: Provide remedial help as required by the courts or forget the basic skills requirement and just continue with social graduations. It is just that simple. The choice is yours to make. The State Board of Education has voted to end social graduation by 1985. We all say we want to make a high school diploma mean something. It's time to fish or cut bait.
The other new educational thrust I am proposing is a broadened program of teaching high technology skills to the students in our area vocational and technical schools. Georgia has benefitted greatly from our efforts in industrial development. Statistics for 1980 reveal that the state's earnings growth rate rose 9.7 percent over 1979, a faster pace than the national average of 9.2 percent.
High technology industries bring rapid economic expansion and better, higher-paying jobs to Georgia. However, many of the high technology industries already located here are finding it necessary to recruit from out of state. We need these high-paying jobs for Georgia citizens. I believe that industry also wants to hire Georgia citizens, but we must provide them with the skilled work force they require. Within the next two weeks, I will be meeting with key industrial leaders to explore ways of cooperating in this effort.
If we are to continue the momentum we have achieved in economic development, we must build on our assets, one of which is our statewide system of vocational-technical schools.
A study by the advanced technology development center confirms that improving our technical education capacity is an urgent concern, particularly in the areas of electronics, electromechanics and mechanics.

Therefore, I am proposing to you a total package of $13.8 million worth of improve| ments. We will upgrade the three best programs to associate degree-type programs. Three " other schools will be upgraded to produce graduates at the technician level, with all others
upgraded in the electronics and machine tool areas. In addition, the electronics program at the Houston Vocational Center will be expanded to serve the expanding job market at Warner Robins Air Force Base.
The $1.7 million in the amended budget to complete the advanced Technology Devel, opment Center is a part of this program. The remaining funds will come from a variety
of sources local, agency, reserves of the Georgia Building Authority (Schools) and $6.2 million in new state funds.
Drug smuggling continues to be a $6 billion a year illegal operation in Georgia, ensnaring our youth in its clutches...corrupting our sheriffs and other lawmen....inciting needless violence....sapping our economy of millions of dollars.
Almost monthly we hear about lawmen confiscating drugs from an airplane that has landed in the cloak of darkness on one of our remote airfields in Georgia....or drug drops along our coast....or another ring of drug peddlers being caught. Yet, we hardly seem to dent this network of crime and violence.
It is time to get tough. With 14 new special agents and three additional narcotic agents along with the reassignment of seven narcotic agents, I am proposing that we launch an assault that will be as successful as the famous "D Day" assault on the beaches ;. of Normandy.
,:;,: I am proposing a three-action program....assigning a new agent to each of the GBI's " field offices to assist local lawmen in drug-related investigations....creating a Narcotics 7 Enforcement Unit responsible for marine and air drug smuggling activities....and adding 10
narcotic agents to expand undercover assistance for local law enforcement agencies.
Drug trafficking is a boil on our State. We must cut out its roots.
Also in law enforcement, I am requesting the reallocation of 50 radio operator positions to state trooper positions to launch a new assault on the high number of accidents and fatalities on our highways....and creation of a Motor Vehicle Inspection Squad within the GBI to inspect rebuilt motor vehicles prior to the issuance of certificates of title to end the Clandestine "Chop Shops" which break down stolen vehicles and sell the parts at one-third the cost of new parts, thus boosting Georgia as a prime state for dumping stolen cars.
I am limiting new bond programs in 1983 to public school, University System and ports construction.
For our public schools, I am recommending new bonds totaling $90,370,000. This total would fund 154 eligible projects that have earned state entitlements and are ready for construction as soon as we provide our promised share of the cost. I realize this would be the largest bond issue for schools in many years, but we have skipped a year of funding public school construction and this would in actuality be funding two years of entitlements. Only 37 percent of these projects are totally new construction, reflecting an awareness by school superintendents that renovation is now more important and less costly than new construction whenever possible.
C I am recommending $25 million in bonds for our University System. This includes $5 .million already authorized in 1982 bonds. I am requesting that these bonds be ^de-authorized and added to $20 million in new funding for a total of $25 million in 1983.
: .' The ports bonds would total $53,837,200 and fund phase II of an approved five-year expansion program. Primarily, the ports bonds will develop Colonels Island and boost our 'state's economy. The Ports Authority is committed to repaying these bonds and interest.

60

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Even with these new bonds, our debt retirement funds will still total only 4.1 percent of prior year's revenue receipts. This is half the percentage in effect when I took office.
There are other recommendations of importance....$13,872,760 in direct cash payments for our Employees' Retirement Program to launch a program of making the program actuarially sound on a long-range basis, an amount equal to two percent of covered payroll This would be followed by another two percent payment in 1984. Afterwards, the state would continue paying in four percent over present payments...$4.3 million to continue an energy conservation plan for state office buildings, continuing a program I have recommended to be started in 1982. This program would recoup our investment within three years and save us millions of dollars in utility costs. The largest and most interesting project will develop a new boiler plant at Central State Hospital which will burn wooc chips and ultimately save half a million dollars a year.
....An increase of $19.1 million for the Department of Transportation.
....A net increase of $11.9 million for our University System, mostly in continuation funds to meet the operating needs of the state's 33 colleges and universities. The funding takes into consideration an increase of $7.7 million in student fees to equal 20 percent of the Regents' Formula costs.
....$6.2 million to provide for an increase in the retirement formula multiplier for retiring teachers from 1.92 to 2, fulfilling a pledge made early in my administration. The increase would be effective January 1, 1983.
As I said in the beginning, the gloomy economic forecast represents a discouraging way for me to end my long years of involvement in drafting state budgets. Yet, as I saic on Tuesday, Georgia is in relatively good shape as compared to many other states.
It will hurt us to lose $241 million in federal funds over 1982 and 1983, but we are apparently able to better absorb the losses than some other states. I am recommending that we pick up only $1.6 million in my 1982 recommendations and $6.6 million in 1983.
We are able to make some improvements in our most important programs without tax increase. Some states have increased taxes and are still in trouble.
We are already well on our way this session on the budget, thanks to your action yesterday. The full House and the Senate Appropriations Committee passed two supplementary appropriation bills. HB 1141 provides for $16,356,000 in additional debt service for bonds for the World Congress Center, the ports, the GBI Building and public safety training complex. HB 1142 provides for early implementation of my F.Y. 1983 increases for Medicaid, which I stated earlier were possible should our November cuts continue to work. We should still avoid having to pay federal penalties at this new level. HB 1142 also included funds I recommended for staffing the newly renovated Rivers Complex, an older abandoned building at Milledgeville that we have converted into a prison facility.
These two supplementary appropriations bills total $24,656,000 and are a record breaking effort by you for meeting critical state needs this early in the session.
All in all, I think we have managed our finances well over the last seven years and have been responsible to our taxpayers. I am confident that good management and financial responsibility will continue to guide our budget deliberations this year and in future years.

Section 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that each and every agency, board, commission and authority receiving appropriations in this Act shall develop and enforce stringent regulations relating to the use of motor vehicles owned, leased or rented

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

by the State, including provisions that employees authorized to utilize State vehicles for commuting to and from work shall not use such vehicles except for official State business.
Provided, further, it is the intent of this General Assembly that each State agency utilizing xerographic reproducing equipment maintain a log for each unit of equipment indicating the date, number of copies and such other data determined appropriate to conserve
the utilization of such equipment. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that each State agency implement procedures to control usage of long-distance, GIST and credit card telephone calls, in order to mitigate the State's cost therefor.

Section 52. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Federal funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropriations Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and
Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effective matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that the Office of Planning and Budget utilize its budgetary and fiscal authority so as to accomplish the above-stated intent to the greatest degree feasible; and that at the end of this fiscal year, said Office of Planning and Budget provide written notice to the members of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the instances of noncompliance with the stated intent of this Section.

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

Section 54. In addition to all other appropriations, there is hereby appropriated as needed, a specific sum of money equal to each refund authorized by law, which is required to make refund of taxes and other monies collected in error, farmer gasoline tax refund and any other refunds specifically authorized by law. No wholesale distributor of motor fuel shall be entitled to a refund covering shrinkage in the process of retailing motor fuel as authorized by Act of Georgia General Assembly of 1947 (Ga. Laws 1947, p. 1115), by virtue of the said wholesale distributor being engaged in retailing motor fuel.

Section 55. No State appropriations authorized under this Act shall be used to continue programs currently funded by 100% Federal funds.

ities be made available for their use, including but not limited to the Georgia Interactive Statewide Telecommunications Network either directly or indirectly.

Section 57. In accordance with the requirements of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph la of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, as amended, there is hereby appropriated payable to each department, agency, or institution of the State sums sufficient to satisfy the payments required to be made in each year, under lease contracts now in existence or as provided for in this Appropriations Act between any department, agency, or institution of the State, and any authority created and activated at the time of the effective date of the aforesaid constitutional provision, as amended, or appropriated for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1981, and for each and every fiscal year thereafter, until all payments required under lease contracts have been paid in full, and if for any reason any of the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1982

443

sums herein provided under any other provision of this Act are insufficient in any year to make the required payments in full, there shall be taken from other funds appropriated to the department, agency or institution involved, an amount sufficient to satisfy such deficiency in full and the lease payment constitutes a first charge on all such appropriations.
The General Assembly declares that the sums hereby appropriated for lease rentals are to pay the general obligations of the State incurred under valid lease contracts and such appropriations are to be paid from the general funds of the State as a first charge upon General Funds.
Section 58. All expenditures and appropriations made and authorized under this Act shall be according to the programs and activities as specified in the Governor's recommendations contained in the Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1981 regular session, except as otherwise specified in this Act; provided, however, the Director of the Budget is authorized to make internal transfers within a budget unit between objects, programs, and activities subject to the conditions that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred for use in initiating or commencing any new program or activity not currently having an appropriation of State funds, nor which would require operating funds or capital outlay funds beyond fiscal year 1982, and provided, further, that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred between objects without the prior approval of at least eleven (11) members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittees in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This Section shall apply to all funds of each budget unit from whatever source derived. The State Auditor shall make an annual report to the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of all instances revealed in his audit in which the expenditures by object class of any department, bureau, board, commission, institution or other agency of this State are in violation of this Section or in violation of any amendments properly approved by the Director of the Budget. In those cases in which the aforesaid Budget Report contains no recommendation by the Governor of expenditures as to objects, the Director of the Budget, except as to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Government, is authorized to allocate as to object such funds as he deems proper, but he shall not approve any operating budget containing any such allocation until such shall be submitted and approved in the same manner and under the same conditions provided hereinbefore for transfers.
Section 59. Wherever in this Act the term "Budget Unit Object Classes" is used, it shall mean that the object classification following such term shall apply to the total expenditures within the Budget Unit, and shall supersede the object classification shown in the Budget Report for F.Y. 1982 submitted to the General Assembly at the 1981 regular session.
Section 60. It is the intent of the General Assembly that for the purposes of this Act, (1) Authorized motor vehicles are defined as sedans, pick-up trucks, vans, station
wagons and any other such vehicles for street and highway use, and (2) The number of authorized motor vehicles indicated for each budget unit shall
include leased vehicles and State-owned vehicles, and (3) The Departments are not authorized to accept vehicles from surplus property to
increase the number authorized in this Act unless specifically approved by this General Assembly.
Section 61. The Office of Planning and Budget is hereby directed to economize wherever possible and in the event any part of the appropriations provided in the foregoing Section of this Act shall be in excess of the actual approved budget allotments for the fiscal year, the amounts so in excess, as determined by the Office of Planning and Budget, shall cease to be an obligation of the State.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"Section 2.1. Said Act is further amended by striking subsection (b) of Section 20 thereof, which reads as follows:
'(b) The Board may provide for the recognition of authorized representatives of the employees of the Authority and for bargaining with its employees through such agents in the same manner and to the same extent as if they were the employees of any privately owned transportation system.',
and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows:
'(b) (1) The Board may provide for the recognition of authorized representatives of the employees of the Authority and for bargaining with its employees through such agents in the same manner and to the same extent as if they were the employees of any privately owned transportation system.
(2) The Authority may, as appropriate, submit labor disputes to binding interest arbitration or binding grievance arbitration. As used in this subsection (b), "interest arbitration" shall mean arbitration which determines or formulates the terms and con ditions of a labor agreement between the Authority and the authorized representative, including the formulation of contract provisions governing wages, hours, and working conditions. As used in this subsection (b), "grievance arbitration" shall mean arbitra tion of a dispute between the Authority and the authorized representative acting on behalf of an employee which involves the application or interpretation of the terms and conditions of an existing labor agreement. In any grievance arbitration, the arbi trators must base their decision upon the express terms and conditions of a labor agreement between the Authority and the authorized representative. No award in arbitration and no labor agreement entered into by the Authority may dilute, dimin ish, or impair the inherent management rights of the Authority, which shall include, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, the following:
(A) the right to direct, appoint, employ, assign and promote officers, agents and employees and to determine the standards therefor;
(B) the right to discharge and terminate employees for violation of any stat ute, ordinance or regulation, or other just cause;
(C) the right to plan and determine the levels of service to be provided by the Authority;
(D) the right to assign work and to establish the duties and standards of pro ductivity of employees;
(E) the right to determine whether goods or services should be contracted for, leased, purchased, or otherwise acquired, on either a permanent or temporary basis;
(F) the right to hire part-time employees without payment of fringe benefits afforded to full-time employees; and
(G) the right to assign overtime work to any employee.
(3) Any neutral arbitrator appointed or selected to decide or determine any interest arbitration between the Authority and the authorized representative of any of its employees shall be a resident of either Fulton County or DeKalb County, and shall be experienced or knowledgeable in matters of Georgia public finance.
(4) In any interest arbitration between the Authority and an authorized repre sentative, the arbitrators shall consider and give weight primarily to the following factors in determining their award:
(i) The financial ability of the Authority to pay wages and provide benefits, whether or not increased, while adhering to all legal requirements governing the

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1982

673

Authority's expenditure of public funds and revenues and maintaining levels of transit service sufficient to serve the Metropolitan Area;
(ii) The amount, if any, of any fare increase which would be necessary to afford a wage or salary increase (or improvement in fringe benefits or extension of vacation, holiday or excused time) and the ability of the public to bear a fare increase, with consideration of the per capita income of those persons who cus tomarily use the transit services provided by the Authority;
(iii) A comparison between the overall wage and salary levels and fringe benefit levels and vacation, holiday, and excused time allowances of the Authority's repre sented employees and workers in the public and private sectors of the Metropoli tan Area who perform work requiring similar skills, physical qualifications, job training, prior experience, mental ability and educational attainment;
(iv) A comparison of the hours and working conditions of the Authority's represented employees and workers in the public and private sectors of the Met ropolitan Area who perform work requiring similar skills, physical qualifications, job training, prior experience, mental ability and educational attainment;
(v) The cost of consumer goods and services within the Metropolitan Area;
(vi) Any stipulation entered into by the Authority and the authorized repre sentative.
(5) Prior to any interest arbitration to determine, in whole or in part, the wages, hours, or working conditions of any employee of the Authority, the Authority and the authorized representative shall select (or failing their agreement within a reason able period of time, the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Fulton County shall appoint) a neutral fact-finder, to explore the issues and render a report to the Authority, the authorized representative concerned, and the public. The report shall recommend appropriate wages, hours, and working conditions for the Authority employees, and shall set forth supporting factual findings, determined with due and proper consideration of the factors set forth in paragraph (4) of this subsection (b). No interest arbitration proceedings may commence until a fifteen (15) day period following the issuance of said report has expired, to give the Authority and said authorized representative an opportunity to continue collective bargaining in good faith during said fifteen (15) day period.
(6) In enacting this subsection (b), the General Assembly recognizes that arbitra tion ousts the jurisdiction of the courts and declares that it is appropriate for the State to regulate any method of disputes resolution that takes place outside the judicial system. The Superior Court of Fulton County shall have equitable and legal jurisdiction to enforce this subsection (b).
(7) No employee of the Authority shall engage in any strike, sit-down, slow down, walkout, or other concerted cessation or curtailment of work, and no autho rized representative of employees of the Authority shall cause, instigate, encourage, promote or condone any strike, sit-down, slow-down, walkout or other concerted ces sation or curtailment of work by any employee of the Authority.'"

The following amendment to the Senate amendment was read:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(5) Such material is to be used at trial or is necessary to a pretrial or posttrial motion and said material has not previously been filed under some other provision of this chapter, in which event the portions to be used shall be filed with the clerk of the court at the outset of the trial or at the filing of the motion, insofar as their use can be reasonably anticipated by the parties having custody thereof, but a party attempting to file and use such material which was not filed with the clerk at the outset of the trial or at the filing of the motion shall show to the satisfaction of the court, before the court may authorize such filing and use, that sufficient reasons exist to justify that late filing and use and that the late filing and use will not constitute surprise or manifest injustice to any other party in the proceedings.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitution is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"Any other provision of the Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, the home stead of each resident of Camden County actually occupied by the owner as a residence and homestead, but only so long as actually occupied by the owner primarily as such, is exempted from all county and county school ad valorem taxes in an amount of $4,000.00 of its value. In addition to the $4,000.00 homestead exemption provided for above, the homestead of each resident of Camden County who is 60 years of age or older and who has an income not exceeding $12,000.00 is exempted from all county and
county school taxes in an amount of $4,000.00 of its value. The homestead exemptions provided herein shall continue for so long as any such resident of Camden County actu ally occupies said homestead as his residence. Provided, however, no homestead exemp
tion from ad valorem taxation by Camden County shall exceed the sum of $8,000.00. The value of the homestead in excess of the above exempted amount or amounts shall remain subject to ad valorem taxation by Camden County. No resident shall receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he or his agent provides the governing
authority of the county, or a person designated by the governing authority, with an affi davit stating that he is a resident and that his property is his homestead and residence
and containing such additional information as will enable the governing authority to make a determination as to whether such person is entitled to such exemption. The gov erning authority shall provide the necessary forms for such purpose. No resident who
is entitled to the additional exemption as provided for above shall be qualified to receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he files an affidavit with the governing
authority of Camden County, or with the person designated by the governing authority of Camden County, giving his age and the amount of income which he receives and such
additional information as may be required to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemptions and the provisions of law appli
cable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exist or may hereaf ter be amended, shall apply thereto; but after any such person has filed the proper application and certificates as provided above and has been allowed the exemption pro vided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file said certificates
thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such per son. It shall be the duty of any such person, however, to notify the governing authority in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemptions provided in this paragraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of
this exemption, including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemptions pro vided herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1982."

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

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Parti
Section 1. Code Chapter 88, relating to public health, as amended, is amended by striking Code Section 88-402.5 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Sec tion 88-402.5 to read as follows:

982

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"88-402.5. Restraints and abuses, (a) Mistreatment, neglect, or abuse in any form of any patient is prohibited. Medication in quantities that interfere with the patient's treatment program is prohibited. All medication, seclusion, or physical restraints are to be used solely for the purposes of providing effective treatment and protecting the safety of the patient and other persons.
(b) Physical restraints shall not be applied unless it is determined by an attending physician to be absolutely necessary to prevent a patient from seriously injuring himself or others and is required by his medical needs. Such determination shall expire after 24 hours. An attending physician must then make a new determination before the restraint may be continued. Every use of a restraint and the reasons therefor shall be made a part of the clinical record of the patient. A copy of each such entry or a summary of such entry shall be forwarded to the chief medical officer for review. A patient placed in physical restraint shall be checked at least every 30 minutes by staff trained in the use of restraints and a written record of such checks shall be made. When the application of a restraint is necessary in emergency situations to protect the patient from immediate injury to himself or to others, restraints may be authorized by attending staff who must immediately report the action taken to the physician. The facility shall have written policies and procedures which govern the use of restraints and which clearly delineate, in descending order, the personnel who can authorize the use of restraints in emergency situations.
(c) For the purposes of this section, those devices which restrain movement, but are applied for protection from accidental injury or required for the medical treatment of the patient's physical condition or for supportive or corrective needs of the patient, shall not be considered physical restraints. However, devices used in such situations must be authorized and applied in compliance with the facility's policies and procedures. The use of such devices shall be a part of the patient's individualized treatment plan."
Section 2. Said Code chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Sec tion 88-404.4 and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 88-404.4 to read as follows:
"88-404.4. Examination in emergency receiving facility. A patient who is received by an emergency receiving facility shall be examined by a physician as soon thereafter as possible, but in any event within 24 hours, and may be given such emergency treatment as is indicated by good medical practice.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Part 1
Section 1. Code Chapter 27-15, relating to demurrers and special pleas, as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 8, 1977 (Ga. L. 1977, p. 1293), is amended by strik ing Code Section 27-1503 and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"27-1503. Insanity and incompetency. (a) Definitions. For purposes of this Code sec tion:
(1) A person may be found 'insane' at the time of the commission of a crime if he meets the criteria of Code Section 26-702 or 26-703. However, the term 'insanity' shall not include a mental state manifested only by repeated unlawful or antisocial conduct.
(2) The term 'mentally ill' shall mean having a disorder of thought or mood which significantly impairs judgment, behavior, capacity to recognize reality, or ability to cope with the ordinary demands of life. However, the term 'mental illness' shall not include a mental state manifested only by repeated unlawful or antisocial conduct.

(d) Evaluation of present mental condition. Whenever a defendant is found not guilty by reason of insanity at the time of the crime, the court shall retain jurisdiction over'the person so acquitted and shall order such person to be detained in a state men tal health facility, to be selected by the Department of Human Resources, for a period not to exceed 30 days from the date of the acquittal order, for evaluation of the defend ant's present mental condition.

If the evaluation report from the Department of Human Resources indicates that the defendant does not meet the commitment crite ria of Code Chapter 88-5 or Code Chapter 88-25, the trial judge may issue an order dis charging the defendant from custody without a hearing. The hearing shall be conducted at the earliest opportunity after the expiration of the 30 days' evaluation period but in any event within 30 days after receipt by the prosecuting attorney of the evaluation report from the mental health facility, and the defendant shall be detained in custody until the completion of the hearing. The court may take judicial notice of evidence intro duced during the trial of the defendant and may call for testimony from any person with knowledge concerning whether the defendant is currently a mentally ill person in need
of involuntary treatment or currently mentally retarded and in need of being ordered to receive services, as provided in subsection (v) of Code Section 88-501 and Code Sec tion 88-2504. The court may direct the prosecuting attorney to subpoena any other per
sons with knowledge concerning the issues presented at the hearing. The prosecuting attorney may cross-examine the witnesses called by the court and the defendant's wit nesses and present relevant evidence concerning the issues presented at the hearing. The defendant is entitled to the rights specified below and shall be notified in writing of
these rights at the time of his admission for evaluation under subsection (d). Such rights are:
(1) A notice that a hearing will be held and the time and place thereof; (2) A notice that the defendant has the right to counsel and that the defendant
or his representatives may apply immediately to the court to have counsel appointed if the defendant cannot afford counsel and that the court will appoint counsel for the defendant unless he indicates in writing that he does not desire to be represented by
counsel;
(3) The right to confront and cross-examine witnesses and to offer evidence; (4) The right to subpoena witnesses and to require testimony before the court in person or by deposition from any person upon whose evaluation the decision of the court may rest;

(6) A notice that the defendant has the right to be examined by a physician or a licensed clinical psychologist of his own choice at his own expense and to have that physician or psychologist submit a suggested service plan for the patient which con forms with the requirements of subsection (w) of Code Section 88-501 or subsection
(i) of Code Section 88-2502, whichever is applicable; and (7) Notice of right to have representatives or a guardian ad litem appointed in his
behalf as set forth in Code Sections 88-502.18 and 88-2503.18.
(f) Release of persons found not guilty by reason of insanity. A defendant who has been found not guilty by reason of insanity at the time of the crime and is ordered com mitted to the Department of Human Resources as a result of a petition filed by the
prosecuting attorney under subsection (c) of Code Section 88-506.2 or Code Section 88-2504 may only be discharged from that commitment by order of the committing court in accordance with the procedures specified in this subsection:
(1) Application for the release of a defendant who has been committed to the Department of Human Resources under subsection (g) of this Code section upon the ground that he does not meet the civil commitment criteria under Code Chapter 88-5
or Code Chapter 88-25 may be made to the committing court, either by such defend ant or by the superintendent of the state hospital in which the defendant is detained.
(2) The burden of proof in such release hearing shall be upon the applicant. The

1033

(3) If the finding of the court is adverse to release in such hearing on the grounds that such defendant does meet the civil commitment criteria under Code Chapter 88-5 or Code Chapter 88-25 a further release application shall not be heard by the court until six months have elapsed from the date of the hearing upon the last preceding application. (g) Finding of guilty but mentally ill. If in a felony case the defendant asserts a defense of insanity, the defendant may be found guilty but mentally ill if, after trial, the trier of facts finds all of the following beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) That the defendant is guilty of a felony; (2) That the defendant was mentally ill at the time of the commission of that fel ony; and (3) That the defendant was not legally insane at the time of the commission of that felony. (h) Sentencing of defendant found guilty but mentally ill. Whenever a defendant is found guilty but mentally ill at the time of a felony, or enters a plea to that effect that is accepted by the court, the court shall sentence him in the same manner as a defend ant found guilty of the offense. If a defendant who is found guilty but mentally ill at the time of the felony is committed to an appropriate penal facility, he shall be further evaluated and then treated, within the limits of state funds appropriated therefor, in such manner as is psychiatrically indicated for his mental illness. Treatment may be provided by: (1) The penal facility; or (2) The Department of Human Resources after transfer pursuant to procedures set forth in regulations of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the Department of Human Resources. (i) Probation. If a defendant who is found guilty but mentally ill at the time of a felony is placed on probation under the 'Statewide Probation Act' (Ga. L. 1956, p. 27), the court may require that the defendant undergo available outpatient medical or psy chiatric treatment or seek similar available voluntary inpatient treatment as a condition of probation. Persons required to receive such services may be charged fees by the provider of the services."
Part 2
Section 2. Part 2 of Article 6 of Chapter 7 of Title 17 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the pleas of insanity and mental incompetency, is amended by striking Code Section 17-7-131 and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:

(3) The term 'mentally retarded' shall mean a state of significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with defects of adaptive behavior which originates in the developmental period.

(e) After the expiration of the 30 days' evaluation period in the state mental health facility, the prosecuting attorney shall file, within 15 days after receipt of the report, a written petition with the trial court to determine the defendant's need for involuntary treatment pursuant to subsection (c) of Code Section 37-3-81 or Code Section 37-4-40. If the evaluation report from the Department of Human Resources indicates that the defendant does not meet the commitment criteria of Code Chapter 37-3 or Code Chap ter 37-4, the trial judge may issue an order discharging the defendant from custody without a hearing. The hearing shall be conducted at the earliest opportunity after the expiration of the 30 days' evaluation period but in any event within 30 days after receipt by the prosecuting attorney of the evaluation report from the mental health facility, and the defendant shall be detained in custody until the completion of the hearing.

The court may direct the prosecuting attorney to subpoena any other persons with knowledge concerning the issues presented at the hearing. The prosecuting attorney may cross-ex amine the witnesses called by the court and the defendant's witnesses and present rele vant evidence concerning the issues presented at the hearing. The defendant is entitled to the following rights specified below and shall be notified in writing of these rights at the time of his admission for evaluation under subsection (d). Such rights are:
(1) A notice that a hearing will be held and the time and place thereof; (2) A notice that the defendant has the right to counsel and that the defendant or his representatives may apply immediately to the court to have counsel appointed if the defendant cannot afford counsel and that the court will appoint counsel for the defendant unless he indicates in writing that he does not desire to be represented by counsel;
(3) The right to confront and cross-examine witnesses and to offer evidence;
(4) The right to subpoena witnesses and to require testimony before the court in person or by deposition from any person upon whose evaluation the decision of the court may rest;
(5) Notice of the right to have established an individualized service plan specifi cally tailored to the person's treatment needs, as such plans are defined in Code Chapters 37-3 and 37-4;
(6) A notice that the defendant has the right to be examined by a physician or a licensed clinical psychologist of his own choice at his own expense and to have that physician or psychologist submit a suggested service plan for the patient which con forms with the requirements of Code Chapters 37-3 or Code Chapter 37-4, whichever is applicable; and
(7) Notice of right to have representatives or a guardian ad litem appointed in his behalf as set forth in Code Sections 37-3-147 and 37-4-107.

of a petition filed by the prosecuting attorney may only be discharged from that com mitment by order of the committing court in accordance with the procedures specified in this subsection:
(1) Application for the release of a defendant who has been committed to the Department of Human Resources under subsection (g) of this Code section upon the ground that he does not meet the civil commitment criteria under Chapter 37-3 or Chapter 37-4 may be made to the committing court, either by such defendant or by the superintendent of the state hospital in which the said defendant is detained;
(2) The burden of proof in such release hearing shall be upon the applicant. The defendant shall have the same rights in the release hearing as set forth in subsection (g) of this Code section;
(3) If the finding of the court is adverse to release in such hearing on the grounds that such defendant does meet the civil commitment criteria a further release applica tion shall not be heard by the court until six months have elapsed from the date of the hearing upon the last preceding application, (g) If in a felony case the defendant asserts a defense of insanity, the defendant may be found guilty but mentally ill if, after trial, the trier of facts finds all of the following beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) That the defendant is guilty of a felony; (2) That the defendant was mentally ill at the time of the commission of that fel ony; and (3) That the defendant was not legally insane at the time of the commission of that felony. (h) Whenever a defendant is found guilty but mentally ill at the time of a felony, or enters a plea to that effect that is accepted by the court, the court shall sentence him in the same manner as a defendant found guilty of the offense. If a defendant who is found guilty but mentally ill at the time of the felony is committed to an appropriate penal facility, he shall be further evaluated and then treated, within the limits of state funds appropriated therefor, in such manner as is psychiatrically indicated for his men tal illness. Treatment may be provided by: (1) The penal facility; or (2) The Department of Human Resources after transfer pursuant to procedures set forth in regulations of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the Department of Human Resources. (i) If a defendant who is found guilty but mentally ill at the time of a felony is placed on probation under the 'State-wide Probation Act,' Article 2 of Chapter 8 of Title 42, the court may require that the defendant undergo available outpatient medical or psychiatric treatment or seek similar available voluntary inpatient treatment as a condi tion of probation. Persons required to receive such services may be charged fees by the provider of the services."

Basic no-fault payments may be paid by the insurer directly to persons or firms supplying necessary products, services, or accommodations to the claimant. In the event the insurer fails to pay each benefit when due, the person entitled to the benefits may bring an action to recover them and the insurer must snow tn&t its tctnuFe or venis&i to pcty wfls m ood iflitft} otnerwise ^ if the person proves the insurer's failure or refusal to pay was not in good faith, the insurer shall be liable for a penalty not exceeding 25 percent of the amount due and reasonable attorney's fees.
(c) In addition to all other penalties provided for in this Code section, in the event that an insurer fails or refuses to pay a person the benefits which the person is entitled to under this chapter within 60 days after proper proof of loss has been filed, the person may bring an action to recover the benefits; and, if the insurer fails to prove that its fatter* or refusal to pay the benefits was in geed faith person proves that the insurer's failure or refusal to pay the benefits was not in good faith, the insurer shall be subject to punitive damages."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end of Code Section 33-34-9 a new subsection, to be designated subsection (c), to read as follows:
"(c) As used in this Code section, the phrase 'any person eligible for economic loss benefits' shall include any person who is required to purchase a policy of motor vehicle liability insurance providing the economic loss benefits described in subsection (b) of Code Section 33-34-5. Failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter renders a person a self-insurer for the statutory minimum amount of benefits for economic loss to which he would have been entitled under the provisions of this chapter had he been insured.", so that when so amended Code Section 33-34-9 shall read as follows:
"33-34-9. (a) In an action against a person insured as provided in Code Section 33-34-4 or a self-insurer to recover damages because of accidental bodily injury arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance, or use of an insured motor vehicle in this state, an insured person shall be exempt from liability to pay damages for noneconomic loss unless the injury is a serious injury as defined in paragraph (13) of Code Section 33-34-2.
(b) Any person eligible for economic loss benefits described in paragraph (2) of sub section (a) of Code Section 33-34-4 is precluded from pleading or recovering in an action for damages against a tort-feasor those damages for which compensation is available for

(c) As used in this Code section, the phrase 'any person eligible for economic loss benefits' shall include any person who is required to purchase a policy of motor vehicle liability insurance providing the economic loss benefits described in subsection (b) of Code Section 33-34-5. Failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter renders a person a self-insurer for the statutory minimum amount of benefits for economic loss to which he would have been entitled under the provisions of this chapter had he been insured."

HR 700. By: Representatives Waddle of the 113th, Watson of the 114th and Walker of the 115th:

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to limit the power of Houston County and the Houston County School District to impose, levy, collect, and receive ad valorem taxes; to provide for submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article VII, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution is amended by adding at the end thereof a new paragraph to read as follows:
"Notwithstanding any other existing or future provision of this Constitution or of gen eral law, neither Houston County nor the Houston County School District may impose, levy, collect, or receive any ad valorem tax at a mill rate higher than is authorized by this paragraph.
(1) As used in this paragraph, the term 'local government' means Houston County and the Houston County School District. For purposes of this paragraph, taxes which are imposed, levied, or collected by Houston County on behalf of the Houston County School District are considered to be taxes imposed, levied, and collected by the Hous ton County School District.
(2) The maximum allowable mill rate for taxes levied by each local government in 1983 and each year thereafter shall be the mill rate specified in this paragraph (2):
(A) The maximum mill rate each such local taxing jurisdiction may levy in any tax year without a referendum shall be determined as follows: (i) multiply the mill rate actually billed to taxpayers by the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year beginning January 1, 1980, by 105 percent; (ii) then, multiply the mill rate deter mined in (i) above, rounded off to the nearest two decimal places, by a fraction, rounded off to the nearest three decimal places, the numerator of which is the aver age net taxable digest for the local taxing jurisdiction for the two tax years immedi ately preceding the year the tax is to be levied; and the denominator of which is the net taxable digest for the local taxing jurisdiction for the tax year in which the levy is to be made.
(B) The maximum allowable mill rate for each government in each year shall be reduced by the mill rate which would yield on the digest for that year an amount equal to the amount received by the local government in the immediately preceding year from any local sales and use tax.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1982

1075

(C) The maximum allowable mill rate for the Houston County School District shall be increased in any year if the amount of required local effort credit appropri ation of state funds available to the school district intended for ad valorem tax relief (or any similar appropriation) for the immediately preceding year is less than the amount of such appropriation available to the school district for 1980. The amount of increase in the maximum allowable mill rate shall be the number of mills which would yield on the digest for that year an amount equal to the amount by which the local effort credit appropriation available to the school district for the preceding year is less than the amount of such appropriation so available in 1980. (3) Except as provided in this subsection (3), neither local government may in any year impose, levy, collect, or receive any ad valorem tax at a mill rate higher than the maximum allowable mill rate computed according to subsection (2).
(A) Said mill rate limitation shall not apply to taxes to retire bonded indebted ness incurred following the approval of such indebtedness at a referendum.
(B) Said mill rate limitation shall not apply to state taxes, and the provisions of this paragraph shall in no way affect state taxes.
(C) Said mill rate limitation shall not apply to taxes levied for the express pur pose of paying the cost of any direct loss suffered by the local government as a result of war, insurrection, or other extraordinary peril, catastrophe, or emergency. The additional tax authorized herein shall be limited to the amount of expenditures necessary to place the local government in the position in which it would have been had such emergency not occurred. No such additional tax shall be levied except after adoption by a two-thirds' majority of a resolution of the local governing body which declares the existence of the emergency and specifies the resulting expendi tures.
(D) Said mill rate limitation shall not apply to taxes levied for the express pur pose of paying the cost of expenditures which are mandated by court order or state or federal law and which are not funded by state or federal funds. No such addi tional tax shall be levied except after adoption by a two-thirds' majority of a resolu tion of the local governing body which identifies the source of the mandate and specifies the mandated expenditures. (4) Except as provided in subsection (3), the local government may levy taxes in any year in excess of the maximum allowable mill rate for the year only if the increased levy is approved at a referendum by the voters of the local government. The local governing body shall hold at least three public hearings on the increased levy at different locations within the local government prior to the date of the referendum. Notice of each hearing shall be published once a week for at least three weeks prior to the hearing in the local government's legal organ. Such increased levy for any tax year may be made only if approved by a majority of the voters voting in the referen dum."
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 Shall the Constitution be amended so as to limit the power of Houston County and the Houston County School District to impose, levy, collect,
( ) NO and receive ad valorem taxes?"

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1982

1201

release of state prison inmates by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles with out regard to time-served requirements; to amend the Official Code of Georgia Annotated accordingly; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To provide for a statement of purpose; to provide for the declaration of an emergency with regard to jail and prison overcrowding by the Governor; to provide for the release of certain state prison inmates by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles without regard to time-served requirements; to provide for definitions; to provide for certain reports to the General Assembly; to amend the Official Code of Georgia Annotated accordingly; to pro vide for effective dates; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. The General Assembly recognizes that the number of persons convicted of crimes in the State of Georgia and sentenced to serve terms of imprisonment in the state prison system has increased greatly in recent years; that, under the moral require ments of humane treatment for prisoners, there is a limit to the present capacity of penal institutions comprising the prison system of the State of Georgia; that, because of the lim ited present capacity of the state penal system, there is a resulting crisis in overcrowding of local jail and detention facilities due to the backlog of convicted persons awaiting trans fer to the state prison system; that the delay in time required to construct new state prison facilities in order to increase the capacity of the state prison system would cause little present relief of the crisis of overcrowding which exists in jail and local detention facilities; that there is an uncertainty as to future needs for additional capacity in the state prison system if alternatives to incarceration are adequately developed and utilized after the present crisis has passed; that there is an uncertainty as to the necessity for local gov ernments to build additional bed space in jails and local detention facilities at their own expense to alleviate the present overcrowding crisis if the present state capacity may be better utilized to relieve that crisis; and, finally, that the release of state prison inmates not otherwise eligible for release on parole is necessary to alleviate the overcrowded prison system during a declared emergency. It is the purpose of this Act to authorize the Gover nor and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to remedy an emergency with regard to the overcrowding of the state prison system.
Parti
Section 2. As used in this Act, the term: (1) "Population" shall mean the actual number of inmates present in the correc
tional institutions of the state prison system and shall not include state inmates assigned to county operated correctional institutions.
(2) "Capacity" shall mean the actual bed space in the prison system of the State of Georgia now or in the future, as certified by the commissioner of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and approved by the director of the Office of Planning and Budget.
(3) "Dangerous offender" means a state prison inmate who is imprisoned for con viction of any one or more of the following crimes as defined by the Criminal Code of Georgia: murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, aircraft hijacking, aggravated sodomy, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, incest, child molestation, or enticing a child for indecent purposes.
Section 3. The Governor, upon certification by the commissioner of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and approval by the director of the Office of Planning and Budget that the population of the prison system of the State of Georgia has exceeded the capacity for 30 consecutive days, may, within five days of receipt of the commissioner's certification, declare a state of emergency with regard to jail and prison overcrowding.

1202

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 4. Upon the declaration of a state of emergency with regard to the jail and prison overcrowding by the Governor, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles shall select sufficient state prison inmates to reduce the state prison population to 100 percent of its capacity and issue such selected inmates a parole, but no dangerous offender shall be eligi ble for selection by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. The selection of state prison inmates to be released under the authority contained herein may be made without regard to limitations placed upon the service of a portion of the prison sentence provided by an Act to create the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, approved February 5, 1943 (Ga.

Section 5. It shall be the duty of the Director of the Office of Planning and Budget to prepare an annual report on prison inmates who are paroled pursuant to this Act. Such report shall summarize each such former inmate's behavior since parole and generally eval uate the former inmate's success or lack of success in becoming a law-abiding member of society. The annual report shall be submitted to each member of the General Assembly on or before December 31, with the first such report submitted by December 31 of the first year that prison inmates are paroled pursuant to this Act. The State Board of Par dons and Paroles, the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, and other departments and agencies of the state government shall cooperate with and assist the Director of the Office of Planning and Budget in developing the information necessary to prepare the annual reports required by this section.
Part 2

The authority, or any authority or body which has or which may in the future succeed to the powers, duties, and liabilities vested in the author ity created herein, shall have power and is authorized at one time, or from time to time, to provide by resolution for the issuance of negotiable revenue bonds for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost as herein defined of any one or more projects. The prin cipal of and interest on such revenue bonds shall be payable solely from the special fund herein provided for such payment.

Such revenue bonds or obligations shall be issued pursuant to and in conformity with the Revenue Bond Law (Article 3 of Chapter 82 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated), formerly Ga. L. 1957, p. 36, as amended, amending the law formerly known as the Revenue Certifi cate Law of 1937 (Ga. L. 1937, p. 761), as amended; and all procedures pertaining to such issuance and the conditions thereof shall be the same as those contained in said Revenue Bond Law and any amendments thereto.
Section 6. Same; form; denomination; registration; place of payment. The authority shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of principal and interest thereof which may be at any bank or trust company within or without the state. The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered form, or both, as the authority may determine; and provision may be made for the regis tration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both the principal and interest.

Any cou pon may bear the facsimile signatures of such persons; and any bond may be signed, sealed, and attested on behalf of the authority by such persons as, at the actual time of the execution of such bonds, shall be duly authorized or hold the proper office, although at the date of such bonds such persons may not have been so authorized or shall not have held such office. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before deliv ery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if he had remained in office until such delivery.
Section 8. Negotiability; exemption from taxation. All revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall have and are declared to have all the qualities and inci dents of negotiable instruments under the laws of this state. Such bonds are declared to be issued for an essential public and governmental purpose, and the said bonds and the income thereof shall be exempt from all taxation within the state.
Section 9. Same; sale; proceeds. The authority may sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be in the best interest of the authority, and the proceeds derived from the sale of such bonds shall be used solely for the purpose pro vided in the proceedings authorizing the issuance of such bonds.
Section 10. Same; interim receipts and certificates or temporary bonds. Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the authority may, under like restrictions, issue interim receipts, interim certificates, or temporary bonds with or without coupons exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter.
Section 11. Same; replacement of lost or mutilated bonds. The authority may also provide for the replacement of any bond or any coupons which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost.
Section 12. Same; conditions precedent to issuance. Such revenue bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or things than those proceedings, conditions, and things which are specified or required by this Act. Any resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds under the provisions of this Act shall become effective immediately upon its passage and need not be published or posted; and any such resolution may be passed at any regular or special or adjourned meeting of the authority by a majority of its members.
Section 13. Credit not pledged. Revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of Elbert County or Hart County nor a pledge of the faith and credit of any of said counties; but such bonds shall be payable solely from the fund hereinafter provided for. The issuance of such revenue bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate any of said counties to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment. All such bonds shall contain recitals on their face covering substantially the foregoing pro visions of this section.
Section 14. Trust indenture as security. In the discretion of the authority, any issue of such revenue bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the authority and a corporate trustee which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or outside of the state. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign fees, tolls, revenues, and earnings to be received by the authority, including the proceeds derived from the sale from time to time of any surplus property of the authority, both real and personal. Either the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or such trust indenture may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the authority in relation to the acquisition of property; the construction of the project; the maintenance, operation, repair, and insur ance of the project; and the custody, safeguarding, and application of all moneys, including

1254

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the proceeds derived from the sale of property of the authority, both real and personal; and may also provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for under the supervi sion and approval of consulting engineers or architects employed or designated by the authority; and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state to act as such depository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust inden tures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation, and repair of the project affected by such indenture.
Section 15. To whom proceeds of bonds shall be paid. The authority shall, in the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or in the trust indenture, provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds to any officer or person who or any agency, bank, or trust company which shall act as trustee of such funds and shall hold and apply the same to the purposes hereof, subject to such regulations as this Act and such resolution or trust indenture may provide.
Section 16. Sinking fund. The revenues, fees, tolls, and earnings derived from any particular project or projects, regardless of whether or not such fees, earnings, and reve nues were produced by a particular project for which bonds have been issued, and any moneys derived from the sale of any properties, both real and personal, of the authority, unless otherwise pledged and allocated, may be pledged and allocated by the authority to the payment of the principal and interest on revenue bonds of the authority as the resolu tion authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust instrument may provide. Such funds so pledged, from whatever source received, which said pledge may include funds received from one or more or all sources, shall be set aside at regular intervals as may be provided in the resolution or trust indenture into a sinking fund, which said sinking fund shall be pledged to and charged with the payment of:
(1) The interest upon such revenue bonds as such interest shall fall due; (2) The principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due; (3) Any premium upon bonds acquired by the redemption, payment, or otherwise; (4) The necessary charges of the paying agent or agents for paying principal and interest; and (5) Any investment fees or charges. The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds or in the trust indenture; but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be maintained as a trust account for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, any surplus moneys in the sinking fund may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds; and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be cancelled and shall not be reissued, printed, and delivered.
Section 17. Remedies of bondholders. Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act or any of the coupons pertaining thereto and the trustee under the trust indenture, if any, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by resolution passed before the issuance of the bonds or by the trust indenture, may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or granted hereunder or under such resolution or trust indenture and may enforce and compel performance of all duties required by this Act or by such resolution or trust indenture to be performed by the authority, or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging, and collecting of revenues, fees, tolls, and other charges for the use of the facilities and services furnished.

The authority is authorized to provide by resolution for the issuance of bonds of the authority for the purpose of funding or refunding any rev enue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act and then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and premium, if any. The issuance of such funding or refunding bonds, the maturities and all other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and the duties of the authority in respect to the same shall be governed by the foregoing provi sions of this Act insofar as the same may be applicable.
Section 19. Venue and jurisdiction. Any action to protect or enforce any rights under the provisions of this Act or any suit or action against such authority shall be brought in the Superior Court of Elbert County or Hart County; and any action pertaining to valida tion of any bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall likewise be brought in one of said courts which shall have exclusive, original jurisdiction of such actions.
Section 20. Validation. Bonds of the authority shall be confirmed and validated in accordance with the procedure of the Revenue Bond Law (Article 3 of Chapter 82 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated). The petition for validation shall also make party defendant to such action the State of Georgia or any municipality, county, authority, political subdivision, or instrumentality of the State of Georgia or the United States gov ernment or any department or agency of the United States government, if subject to being sued and if consenting to same, which has contracted with the authority for the services and facilities of the project for which bonds are to be issued and sought to be validated; and the state or such municipality, county, authority, political subdivision, or instrumen tality shall be required to show cause, if any, why such contract or contracts and the terms and conditions thereof should not be inquired into by the court and the validity of the terms thereof be determined and the contract or contracts adjudicated as a part of the basis of the security for the payment of any such bonds of the authority. The bonds, when validated, and the judgment of validation shall be final and conclusive with respect to such bonds and the security for the payment thereof and interest thereon and against the authority issuing the same, the state and any municipality, county, authority, political sub division, or instrumentality, if a party to the validation proceedings, contracting with the said Upper Savannah River Development Authority.
Section 21. Interest of bondholders protected. While any of the bonds issued by the authority remain outstanding, the powers, duties, or existence of said authority or of its officers, employees, or agents shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will affect adversely the interest and rights of the holders of such bonds; and no other entity, department, agency, or authority will be created which will compete with the authority to such an extent as to affect adversely the interest and rights of the holders of such bonds; nor will the state itself so compete with the authority. The provisions of this Act shall be for the benefit of the authority and the holders of any such bonds and, upon the issuance of bonds under the provisions hereof, shall constitute a contract with the holders of such bonds.
Section 22. Moneys received considered trust funds.

Calling upon the United States Congress to pass an amendment to the United States Constitution which would require that all federal judges stand for election and reelection every eight years; and for other purposes.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, the legislative, executive, and judicial branches were each intended to check and balance the exercise of governmental power of the others; and
WHEREAS, federal judges are appointed for life and are therefore removable only through impeachment or voluntary retirement; and
WHEREAS, life tenure of federal judges has removed them from responsiveness to the people they serve; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the Congress of the United States is requested to adopt and submit to the several states an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that all federal judges shall stand for election and reelection every eight years.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this legislature calls upon the legislatures of each of the several states to request Congress to enact such an amendment to the federal Con stitution.

"42-5-54. Authority is granted to city and county jail officials, sentencing judges, the department, and the wardens and superintendents of all county and state correctional

institutions to arrange for the temporary transfer to state or county correctional institu tions of persons who have been convicted of crimes but who will likely be involved in lengthy or long-term appeals and thus forced to spend considerable time in jails or lock ups which are not equipped to handle long-term inmates.
42-5-55. (a) Except in the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section, the authority contained in Code Section 42-5-54 shall not be exercised as to any particular convicted person until and unless the person or his attorney or both have requested of the trial judge the desired transfer to a state or county correctional institution pending outcome of the appeal.
(b) The authority contained in Code Section 42-5-54 may be exercised when the trial judge certifies in writing to the commissioner that the continued custody in the local jail or lockup of a person who has been convicted of the offense of murder, rape, kidnap ping, or armed robbery constitutes a dangerous condition which the local jail or lockup is not equipped to meet or control.
(c) The authority contained in Code Section 42-5-54 may be exercised when the trial judge certifies in writing to the commissioner that the continued custody in the local jail or lockup of a person whose testimony or actions contributed to the conviction of another person held in the same local jail or lockup presents a dangerous situation which the local jail or lockup is not equipped to meet or control.
(d) The commissioner may decline to accept any convicted person committed and transferred to his custody under the authority granted in this Code section if there is not adequate space in a state or county correctional institution to maintain the person.
42-5-56. The board is authorized to create and promulgate, in writing, reasonable rules and regulations which shall provide the methods and procedures for carrying out the authorization contained in Code Sections 42-5-54 and 42-5-55. The regulations may also provide for procedures and regulations governing the handling of the convicted per sons, including requiring such work as may lawfully be permissible. No transfers under Code Sections 42-5-54 and 42-5-55 of persons convicted of crimes will be permitted until the board has adopted such rules and regulations."

1268

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of this act that all these matters appear in the record, rather than in assignments of error on appeal or otherwise, which are abolished by this Act. Where matters occur which were not reported, such as objections to oral argument, misconduct of the jury, or other like instances, the court, upon motion of either party, shall require that a tran script of these matters be made and included as a part of the record. The transcript of proceedings shall not be reduced to narrative form unless by agreement of counsel, but where the trial is not reported or the transcript of the proceedings for any other reason is not available and the evidence is prepared from recollection, it may be prepared in narrative form.
(e) Where a civil or criminal trial is reported by a certified court reporter, and the evidence and proceedings are transcribed, the reporter shall complete the transcript and file the original and one copy thereof with the clerk of the trial court, together with his certificate attesting to the correctness thereof. In criminal cases where the accused was convicted of a capital felony, an additional copy shall be filed for the Attorney General for which the court reporter shall receive compensation from the State Law Department t th amount ef five cents ($.06) per hundred wwete as provided bj law. The original transcript shall be transmitted to the appellate court as a part of the record on appeal, and one copy will be retained in the trial court, both as hereinafter provided. Upon fil ing by the reporter, the transcript shall become a part of the record in the case, and need not be approved by the trial judge."

L. 1972, p. 510), is amended by striking paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 27 and inserting in its place a new paragraph to read as follows:

If the court is satisfied that the perpetuation of the tes timony may prevent a failure or delay of justice, it shall make an order designating or describing the persons whose depositions may be taken and specifying the subject mat ter of the examination and whether the depositions shall be taken upon oral examina tion or written interrogatories. The depositions may then be taken by a certified court reporter in accordance with this Act; and the court may make orders of the character provided for by sections 34 and 35. For the purpose of applying this Act to depositions for perpetuating testimony, each reference therein to the court in which the action is pending shall be deemed to refer to the court in which the petition for such deposition was filed."
Section 14. Said "Georgia Civil Practice Act" is further amended by striking subsec tion (b) of Section 27 and inserting in its place a new subsection to read as follows:

If an appeal has been taken from a judgment of a trial court or before the taking of an appeal if the time therefor has not expired, the court in which the judgment was rendered may allow the taking of the depositions of witnesses to per petuate their testimony for use in the event of further proceedings in the trial court. In such case the party who desires to perpetuate the testimony may make a motion in the trial court for leave to take the depositions, upon the same notice and service thereof as if the action were pending in the court. The motion shall show (1) the names and addresses of persons to be examined and the substance of the testimony which he expects to elicit from each; (2) the reasons for perpetuating their testimony. If the court finds that the perpetuation of the testimony is proper to avoid a failure or delay of jus tice, it may make an order allowing the depositions to be taken and may make orders

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1982

1269

of the character provided for by section 34 and 35, and thereupon the depositions may be taken before a Board Certified Court Reporter and used in the same manner and under the same conditions as are prescribed in this Act for depositions taken in actions pending in court."

A receipt in duplicate shall be taken from each purchaser evidencing compliance with this provision.

The Commissioner or his duly authorized representative is authorized to draw and issue his checks on the said benefit account for the payment of individual benefit claims. Any balance of mon eys requisitioned from the Unemployment Trust Fund which remains unclaimed or unpaid in the benefit account after the expiration of the period for which such sums were requisitioned shall either he deducted from estimates for and may be utilized for the payment of benefits during succeeding periods or, in the discretion of the Commis sioner, shall be redeposited with the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to the credit of this State's account in the Unemployment Trust Fund as provided in sub section (b) of this Section.

For the purposes of this subsection, amounts obligated dur ing any such twelve-month period shall be charged against equivalent amounts which were first credited and which are not already so charged, except that no amount obli gated for administration during a twelve-month period specified herein may be charged against any amount credited during such a twelve-month period earlier than the twenty-fourth preceding such period.
Money credited to the account of this State pursuant to Section 903 of the Social Security Act, as amended, may not be withdrawn or used except for the payment of ben efits or for the payment of expenses for the administration of this Act and of public employment offices pursuant to this subsection.
Money appropriated for the payment of expenses of administration pursuant to this subsection shall be requisitioned as needed for the payment of obligations incurred under such appropriation and, upon requisition, shall be deposited in the Employment Security Administration Fund but, until expended, shall remain a part of the Unemploy ment Trust Fund.

1612

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The place where the body is found shall be shown as the place of death. If the date

of death is unknown, it shall be the date the body was found and the certificate

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. (a) It is the intent of this Act to assist in the current effort to initiate and revise the Official Code of Georgia Annotated by modernizing, revising, and codifying a series of presently existing laws and repealing certain specific laws which have in com mon the fact that they are based upon classifications of population. After extensive review by the General Assembly, it is found and declared that the comprehensive codification and repeal of these laws is appropriate and desirable in the interest of responsible and timely statutory and Code revision.
(b) It is not the intent of this Act to revive any law which has been expressly or impliedly repealed prior to the effective date of this Act.
(c) The adoption of this Act and the codification of existing laws of the State of Georgia and repeal of corresponding, underlying laws by this Act shall not affect any con tract, cause of action, rule, regulation, practice, procedure, proceeding, or right in existence on the effective date of this Act. Any reference in any existing law, contract, rule, regula tion, pleading, or other document to any law codified by this Act shall be deemed to refer to the appropriate provision of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated as codified by this Act.
Section 2. Title 8 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to buildings and housing, is amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 8-3-50 and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) (1) When the governing body of a city adopts a resolution as provided in Code Section 8-3-5, it shall promptly notify the mayor of such adoption. Upon receiv ing such notice, the mayor shall appoint five persons as commissioners of the author ity created for such city. In the event the mayor fails or refuses to submit appointments within 30 days after notice from the governing body of approval of a resolution of necessity or termination of existing appointments, the governing body may appoint the commissioners of the authority created for said city.
(2) In any city with a population of 400,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census in which the governing body has adopted a resolution as provided in Code Section 8-3-5, the mayor shall appoint, in addition to the other commissioners authorized under paragraph (1) of this subsec tion, two commissioners to be known as resident commissioners who shall be residents

1642

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of a housing project in said city. These resident commissioners shall be appointed for a term of office of one year and shall have no vote. In the event any person serving as a resident commissioner ceases to be a resident of a housing project in said city, then such person shall cease to be a resident commissioner and a vacancy shall result. Vacancies in the office of resident commissioner shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment by the mayor of said city.
(3) In any city having a population of not less than 120,000 or more than 160,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census in which the governing body thereof has adopted a resolution as provided in Code Sec tion 8-3-5, the mayor shall appoint two additional commissioners pursuant to para graph (1) of this subsection and two additional commissioners to be known as resident commissioners. Each resident commissioner shall be a resident of a housing project in such city. The two additional regular commissioners and the two resident commission ers shall be appointed for initial and subsequent terms of office of one year. The two additional regular commissioners and the two resident commissioners shall be voting members, and five commissioners shall constitute a quorum of such authority for the purpose of conducting its business and exercising its powers and for all other pur poses. In the event any person serving as a resident commissioner ceases to be a resi dent of a housing project within such city, then such person shall cease to be a resident commissioner and a vacancy shall result. Vacancies in the office of resident commissioner shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment by the mayor of such city."
Section 3. Title 9 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to civil prac tice, is amended by inserting a new Code section to follow Code Section 9-13-161, to be designated Code Section 9-13-161.1, to read as follows:
"9-13-161.1. (a) In any county of this state having a population of 500,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1960 or any future such census, the chief judge of the superior court shall be authorized and empowered to provide, by gen eral order published in the official newspaper of the county and also in two other news papers having general circulation in such county and entered upon the minutes of the court, that all sales of personal property by the sheriff of such county may be held at a place other than at the courthouse where, in the opinion of the chief judge, the hold ing of such sales before the courthouse door would create an undue traffic hazard or unnecessarily endanger the person or property of persons using the public streets.
(b) No such property shall be sold at a place different from that shown in the adver tisement of the sale.
(c) After the issuance of the first general order as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section, the chief judge may from time to time change the place of holding such sales by another general order published as provided in subsection (a) of this Code sec tion.
(d) This Code section shall be supplemental to other provisions of law, with a view towards efficient and orderly handling of sheriffs sales.
(e) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to affect the time, manner, or place of any sale not made by the sheriff but required to be made at the same time, manner, or place as sheriffs sales."
Section 4. Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to conserva tion and natural resources, is amended by adding a new part at the end of Article 5 of Chapter 5 of Title 12, to be designated Part 6, to read as follows:
"Part 6
12-5-440. This part shall be known as and may be cited as the 'Metropolitan River Protection Act.'
12-5-441. As used in this part, the term: (1) 'Area' means a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the
United States Executive Office of the President, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area 1967, Part I Criteria, Office of Management and Budget, subject to any changes

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1982

1643

made by the Board of Community Affairs pursuant to authority contained in Article 2 of Chapter 8 of Title 50, which is located wholly within the State of Georgia and having a population of more than 1,000,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census.
(2) 'Applicant' means any person who requests the issuance of a certificate under this part.
(3) 'Certificate' means a building permit or other written authorization issued under this part.
(4) 'Commission' means the Metropolitan Area Planning and Development Com mission created for each such area pursuant to the authority contained in Article 2 of Chapter 8 of Title 50.
(5) 'Flood plain' means that area within the stream corridor which is subject to being flooded with a probable frequency of at least once every 50 years. The commis sion shall delineate the flood plain and in doing so may utilize or adopt studies pre pared by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, or such other studies as the commission deems competent.
(6) 'Governing authority' means the governing authority of a political subdivision or, except for the purposes of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of Code Section
12-5-445, a committee of such governing authority. (7) 'Major stream' means any stream or river, whether navigable or nonnavigable,
which flows through any area and which is the source of at least 40 percent of the
public water supply of any such area. (8) 'Person' means any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, entity, or
authority and shall include the State of Georgia, its political subdivisions, and all its
departments, boards, bureaus, commissions, or other agencies. (9) 'Plan' means the comprehensive plan prepared by the commission pursuant to
Code Section 12-5-443. (10) 'Political subdivision' means a county or a municipality in which the section
of the river corridor to be affected or any part thereof is located. (11) 'Stream corridor' means all land in the area within 2,000 feet of the water
course, except such land where, by decision of the commission, the effect on water
quality in the major stream and the effect of flooding and erosion adjacent to the stream is not sufficiently substantial to warrant the exercise of jurisdiction under this part and where the commission elects to decline jurisdiction.
(12) 'Watercourse' means the natural banks of a major stream in any area as
defined by the low-water mark of such stream and including the entire bed of such stream and all islands therein, from the point where the stream enters the area down
stream to a line perpendicular across the flow of such stream at the point, within the area, which is the last downstream water supply intake location for any political sub
division in the area. 12-5-442. (a) The General Assembly finds that adequate supplies of clean drinking water constitute the lifeblood of the great metropolitan areas of this state and are, therefore, essential to the health, welfare, and economic progress of the state; that devel
opment adjacent to major streams in certain metropolitan areas requires special regula tion to provide adequate protection for public water supplies; that siltation and urban runoff threaten such water supplies; that flood plain development unnecessarily exposes
life and property to loss by flooding while increasing flood risks for other areas; that over-intensive development adjacent to major streams increases the frequency and sever ity of such flooding; that it is in the public interest to avoid future flood damage and possible loss of life, to control erosion and pollution, and to protect the water quality
of major streams in certain metropolitan areas. (b) The purpose of this part is to provide a flexible and practical method whereby
political subdivisions in certain metropolitan areas may utilize the police power of the state consistently and in accordance with a comprehensive plan to protect the public
water supplies of such political subdivisions and of the area and to prevent floods and flood damage, to control erosion, siltation, and intensity of development adjacent to major streams in such areas for such purposes, and to provide for comprehensive plan ning for stream corridors in such areas.

1644

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) The General Assembly finds that certain political subdivisions in the included area have in force certain flood plain and sediment control ordinances that afford ade quate protection for the aforementioned problems. Nothing in this part shall be con strued so as to make those local political subdivision ordinances less stringent than they are now.
12-5-443. The commission shall, consistent with the purposes of this part: (1) Prepare and keep up to date a comprehensive, coordinated land and water use
plan for the stream corridor. The plan, as prepared and approved by the commission, shall set land use criteria for flood and flood damage prevention, erosion and siltation control, water quality protection, and intensity of development in the stream corridor. The plan, as adopted by the commission, shall be transmitted to each political subdi vision by June 16, 1973. The commission may, after hearing, utilize or adopt an exist ing plan or plans as the plan called for by this part. The commission may from time to time revise the plan or portions thereof, and any such revisions of the plan shall be transmitted promptly after adoption. Prior to the adoption of the plan, or of any substantial portion or any revision of the plan, the commission shall hold a public
hearing on the proposed plan, or portion or revision thereof, in each county in which any land affected by the plan or, in the case of a portion or revision of the plan, in which any land affected by such portion or revision lies. The commission shall cause
notice of the time and place of each such public hearing to be published once a week for two weeks in one or more newspapers of general circulation in each county in which land to be affected lies. Any such land and water use plan shall be prepared in consultation and with assistance of the county or city governing authority where the
land to be affected lies; (2) Foster and undertake such studies of water and related land resources prob
lems in the stream corridor as are necessary in the preparation or revision of the plan;
and (3) Make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to implement the pur
poses of this part and to administer and implement this part and all rules, regulations,
and orders promulgated under this part. 12-5-444. (a) Pending adoption of the plan as to each political subdivision, it shall be unlawful for any person to erect, maintain, suffer, or permit any structure, dam, obstruction, deposit, clearing, or excavation in or on the stream corridor which will
adversely affect the efficiency of or restrict the capacity of the watercourse or flood plain, appreciably increase runoff or flood heights, adversely affect the control, protec tion, allocation, or utilization of the water and related land resources of the stream corri dor, harmfully obstruct or alter the natural flow of flood waters, or harmfully increase
erosion, siltation, or water pollution. In order to prevent undue hardship, the commis sion may, prior to the adoption of the plan as to any political subdivision, issue a letter or written statement signed by the executive director ruling with respect to any pro posed land or water use in such political subdivision that none of the above-listed
adverse effects will occur as a result of the proposed use. Nothing in this subsection shall apply to a political subdivision that, on June 30, 1973, has in effect a flood plain
ordinance and a sediment control ordinance. (b) (1) After adoption of the plan or any portion thereof, it shall be unlawful within those areas regulated by the plan or any portion thereof for any person to erect, use,
maintain, suffer, or permit a structure, dam, obstruction, deposit, clearing, or excava tion in or on the stream corridor which will be incompatible or inconsistent with the plan or any portion thereof. A proposed land or water use shall be deemed to be not
in compliance with the plan unless and until the governing authority of the political subdivision authorizes the issuance of a certificate for the proposed use after making a specific finding that such use is in compliance with the plan or portion thereof, pro
vided that such certificate shall not become effective until reviewed or prereviewed by the commission in accordance with Code Section 12-5-445 or Code Section 12-5-446. In making the finding required by this subsection, the governing authority shall follow the criteria set forth by the plan, or portion thereof, for water quality protection, flood
and flood damage prevention, erosion, and siltation control, and intensity of develop
ment.

(2) The governing authority shall, before issuing any certificate, require the appli cant to furnish such detailed information on the proposed land or water use as the governing authority shall reasonably request. In each case the information which the governing authority shall require the applicant to furnish shall include:
(A) The name of the owner of the land for which the permit is sought; (B) A description of such land; (C) A grading plan showing all movement of earth about, onto, or off of such land;
(D) A landscaping plan showing all trees and vegetation to be removed and to be replaced on such land and a time schedule for accomplishing such removal and replacement; and
(E) A detailed site plan showing the location of each structure, the approximate dimensions of each structure, and the location and approximate area of all impervi ous surfaces to be placed on such land. (3) All construction, damming, depositing, clearing, or excavation shall be done strictly in accordance with the certificate issued under this part. Any substantial change or modification of a proposed land or water use for which a certificate has been issued shall require a new certificate, which must be issued in accordance with the requirements of this part. (c) The governing authority shall hold a hearing before issuing or denying any certif icate under this Code section. The form and procedure for such hearings shall be deter mined by the governing authority involved, provided that all interested persons shall be afforded adequate notice of such hearings and an opportunity to be present and express their views. The information required under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Code section shall be filed in final form and be available for public inspection prior to such hearing. 12-5-445. (a) Within ten days after issuing any certificate, the governing authority shall transmit to the commission a copy of such certificate, the governing authority's findings thereon, and all supporting information filed by the applicant. (b) If, from the certificate, findings, and supporting data or from its own investiga tion, the commission finds that there are inconsistencies between the plan and the pro posed land or water use authorized by the certificate, the commission may recommend modification of the certificate in such manner as to be consistent with the plan. If the commission fails to recommend modification of the certificate within 60 days from sub mission of such certificate to the commission, the certificate shall become effective as issued.
(c) In any case where the commission has recommended modification of a certificate, the governing authority may:
(1) Adopt such recommendation and incorporate it as a condition of the certificate, in which case any land or water use under the certificate must be strictly in accord ance with the recommendation so incorporated;
(2) Override such recommendation by affirmative vote of a majority of the full membership of the governing body; or
(3) Request reconsideration of such recommendation by the commission at a pub lic hearing.
If the governing authority fails to take action under either paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of this subsection within 45 days after the submission of the recommendation of the com mission to the governing authority, the certificate shall not become effective. Where a public hearing is requested under this subsection, such public hearing shall be held by the commission within 30 days after receipt of such request. Notice stating the time and place of the public hearing shall be mailed at least five days prior to the hearing to the governing authority and to the applicant. The commission shall make its final determi nation with respect to such recommendation within 30 days after such public hearing. The request for a public hearing under this subsection may be made by the applicant or by the governing authority involved.
12-5-446. (a) In order to simplify procedures and avoid delays in the utilization of land or water resources, the commission may prereview any application for a certificate

1646

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

under this part upon written request for such prereview made by the applicant with the written consent of the governing authority of the political subdivision involved, or upon the written request for prereview of an application made by the governing authority of the political subdivision involved. Each such request for prereview shall be accompanied by all of the information required under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Code Section 12-5-444, including all information currently required by the governing authority of the political subdivision involved. The commission may, after reviewing the application, make a finding that the proposed land or water use as shown in the application submit ted for prereview is consistent with the plan or, if it finds that such land or water use is inconsistent with the plan, recommend modification of the proposed land or water use in such manner that such land or water use will be consistent with the plan. The com mission shall transmit its findings or recommendations with respect to the application to the political subdivision involved within 60 days from the date of submission of such request for prereview. Where a request for prereview is made by an applicant, the com mission may require payment by the applicant of a reasonable fee, not to exceed $50.00 for each application, to defray the administrative expenses of such prereview.
(b) Whenever an application for a certificate authorizing a proposed land or water use has been prereviewed by the commission under this Code section, a certificate authorizing such land or water use shall become effective immediately upon issuance by the governing authority involved, without further review by the commission, if:
(1) Where the commission has found that the proposed land or water use as shown by the application submitted to it for prereview is consistent with the plan, the land or water use as authorized by the certificate is substantially identical in all respects; or
(2) Where the commission has recommended modification of a proposed land or water use in such manner that such land or water use will be consistent with the plan, the certificate authorizing the land or water use incorporates every such modification. Otherwise the "certificate must be reviewed by the commission in accordance with Code Section 12-5-445.
(c) When prereviewing an application for a certificate under this part, the commis sion is authorized and encouraged to consult with the governing authority of the political subdivision involved, the planning or zoning departments of such political subdivision, and other interested persons with regard to the application. Nothing in this part shall preclude any person who is or may be an applicant for a certificate under this part, but who does not desire to use the formal prereview procedure provided by this Code sec tion, from consulting informally with the commission or the staff of the commission with respect to a proposed land or water use in the stream corridor; and the commission is authorized and encouraged to advise and assist every such applicant and potential appli cant with respect to compliance with the plan to the fullest extent possible consistent with its limitations of budget and staff.
12-5-447. Every certificate issued by a governing authority and every recommenda tion or certificate of the commission shall comply with the following minimum stan dards:
(1) No land or water use shall be permitted in the flood plain; and
(2) No land or water use shall be permitted within 150 horizontal feet of the watercourse unless the proposed use is not harmful to the water and land resources of the stream corridor, will not significantly impede the natural flow of flood waters, and will not result in significant land erosion, stream bank erosion, siltation, or water pollution.
12-5-448. Any person aggrieved by any final determination of the commission or a governing authority under this part may take an appeal to the superior court of the county in which all or part of the land affected lies. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days from the date of the decision of the governing authority or committee of such governing authority. Upon failure to file an appeal within 30 days, the decision of the governing authority or committee of such governing authority shall be final. The appeal shall be heard by the judge of the superior court without a jury, unless one of the par ties files a written demand for a jury trial within 30 days from the filing of the appeal.

MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1982

1647

12-5-449. The requirements of this part are in addition to and do not supersede other requirements of law including the zoning and building regulations of the political subdivision involved.
12-5-450. Any county in this state which is contiguous to an area and which would have land in a stream corridor if such county were in an area may, with the consent of the particular commission, elect to come under this part by resolution adopted by its governing authority. Where a county has elected to come under this part as provided in this Code section, any municipality in that county which has any territory in the stream corridor may, with the consent of the commission, elect to come under this part by resolution adopted by its governing authority.
12-5-451. This part shall not apply to the following uses: (1) Any land or water use for agriculture or animal husbandry; (2) Ordinary maintenance and landscaping operations; or (3) Any land or water use or project which, on March 16, 1973, is approved, pend
ing, or is completed, actually under construction, or which is zoned for such use and where expenditures in excess of $2,500.00 have been made in preparation for construc tion in accordance with such zoning; provided, however, that the construction of the project is actually commenced within 36 months of March 16,1973; otherwise, a certif icate for the project must be obtained pursuant to this part. 12-5-452. (a) Every structure, dam, obstruction, deposit, excavation, or clearing erected, used, or maintained in violation of this part shall be a public nuisance; and the creation and maintenance thereof may be enjoined and abated upon an action being filed by the commission, any political subdivision affected, or any person. (b) Any person who willfully and wantonly violates this part or any rule or regulation of the commission may be fined not more than $1,000.00 for each offense. Each day on which such violation exists is a separate offense. 12-5-453. The superior court of the county in which the land or any part thereof lies shall have jurisdiction to restrain a violation of this part upon an action being filed by the commission, political subdivision affected, or any person. In the event the land lies in more than one county, jurisdiction shall be in the superior court of any county in which the land lies. 12-5-454. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this part to the contrary, nothing contained in this part shall be construed so as to prohibit any person, firm, or corpora tion from removing sand from any water course without restriction when such removal is accomplished in such a manner that no greater effluent is returned to the water course than that removed therefrom and no erosion along the banks of the water course occurs. 12-5-455. The plan, every proposed version thereof, every revision thereof, and every application for a certificate under this part shall constitute public documents and shall be freely available for inspection by any person."
Section 5. Title 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to courts, is amended by striking paragraph (11) of Code Section 15-6-61 and inserting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (11) to read as follows:
"(11) To make a notation on all conveyances or liens of the day they were left to be recorded and of the day they were recorded, to be signed officially, which notation shall be evidence of the facts stated. In counties having a population of more than 150,000 persons according to the United States decennial census of 1950 or any future such census, the notation may be made by the clerk or his deputy by written signature or by facsimile signature of the clerk."
Section 6. Said Title is further amended by striking Code Section 15-6-64 and insert ing in lieu thereof a new Code Section 15-6-64 to read as follows:
"15-6-64. After the clerk of the superior court of any county having a population of not less than 300,000 350.000 nor more than 60900 500.000 according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census files for record any warranty deed, mortgage, or other instrument evidencing title to any real property, it shall be his duty, as soon as possible, to notify the purchaser of the real property or the person who

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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

By unanimous consent, HB 1236, by substitute, was ordered immediately transmitted to the Senate.

Representative Shepard of the 67th requested that the following appear in the House Journal:

House of Representatives Atlanta, Georgia
I cannot support a budget document that places greater emphasis on capital outlay than human services; particularly when State Employees and Teachers are not given reasonable pay raises in a year of financial austerity.
/s/ J. Neal Shepard, Jr.

Representative Phillips of the 91st requested that the following appear in the House Journal:
House of Representatives Atlanta, Georgia
Mr. Phillips of the 91st requested the following explanation of his vote against H.B. 1236 be inserted in the Journal:
The appropriations bill contains necessary and worthwhile expenditures. However, I voted against it because it contained funds authorizing bonds in the amount of $89,958,000 for local school construction projects. This appropriation continues fund ing a wasteful school facilities policy, and will result in a total state expenditure of more than $250,000,000. I can't in good conscience support such a program, even though construction projects for both counties I represent are included among the 154 projects included in the appropriation.
