The Inauguration of the Governor of Georgia January 11, 1983

Joe Frank Harris Governor

Joe Frank Harris was born February 16, 1936, in the cotton mill village of Atco in Bartow County. He is the second of three children born to Franklin Grover Harris of Gilmer County and Frances Morrow Harris, a native of Newton County. After completing his education in the Cartersville public schools, he received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Georgia in 1958.
Following active duty in the United States Army, Joe Frank Harris returned to Cartersville and began his business career. He helped build and manage a family concrete products business with operations in Bartow and Cobb Counties. In 1980, the Harris family sold the business, and from that time until his election as Governor, Joe Frank served as President of the Harris Georgia Corporation, a diversified industrial development company.
In 1961, he married Elizabeth Carlock, a United Methodist minister's daughter. Elizabeth taught science in the Cartersville public school system after receiving a degree in Secondary Education from LaGrange College.
Joe Frank and Elizabeth are the parents of a son, Joe Frank Harris, Jr., who is currently a freshman at the University of Georgia.
In 1964, at the age of 28, Joe Frank Harris ran for public office for the first time and was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives. He was reelected eight times, serving eighteen consecutive years in the General Assembly. Since 1975, Joe Frank has served as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
In addition to his responsibilities as a family man, a business man and a legislator, Joe Frank is active in his church, in his community and in numerous local and state civic and professional organizations. The Harrises are members of the Faith United Methodist Church in Cartersville, where Joe Frank has served as Lay Leader, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and in other positions on the Administrative Board.
In his first bid for statewide office, Joe Frank Harris was elected Governor of Georgia on November 2, 1982.

Zell Miller Lieutenant Governor

Zell Bryan Miller enters his third term as Lieutenant Governor holding the dual distinctions of serving longer in this office than any of Georgia's previous Lieutenant Gover-
nors and being the only one to have been a member of the State Senate before becoming its President.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1983

45

Born 50 years ago in Young Harris, Zell was the younger child of Birdie Bryan and Stephen Grady Miller. He attended public schools in Towns County and graduated from Young Harris College.
After a three-year enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps, Zell graduated from the University of Georgia with A.B. and M.A. degrees, and completed two years of work toward a PH.D.
He has taught at Young Harris College, DeKalb Community College and the University of Georgia, and held the title of Distinguished Lecturer at Emory University.
In 1965, then-Governor Carl Sanders appointed Zell the Director of the State Board of Probation and later he served as Deputy Director of the Department of Corrections. He was Executive Secretary to Governor Lester Maddox and Governor Jimmy Carter appointed him as a member of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. He also served two years as Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Georgia.
He is the author of two books, THE MOUNTAINS WITHIN ME, (1976), and GREAT GEORGIANS, (1983). He writes a regular monthly column for "High Country Magazine".
He is married to the former Shirley Carver of Andrews, N. C., whom he met as a student at Young Harris College. Shirley has been Honorary State Chair for the Georgia Special Olympics for the past two years, and she served on the President's Committee for Mental Retardation during the Carter Administration.
The Millers have two sons, Murphy and Matthew, a granddaughter, Asia, and a grandson, Justin Grady.

"I am extending both of my hands to the people of Georgia and asking for one of yours in return....
Together, we can solve our problems and meet the challenges to make our State a better place for all of us today and for our children tomorrow."
/a/ Joe Frank Harris

The following address was delivered by His Excellency, Governor Joe Frank Harris, immediately after the administration of the oath of office:

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR JOE FRANK HARRIS
This day began as a venture of faith for me and my family many months ago. Being Governor of Georgia is a tremendous honor and an awesome responsibility that, with God's help, I accept.
Seventy-seven distinguished Georgians have preceded me in taking this solemn vow, and it is with humility and a strong faith in the future and in my God that I assume the challenge of this high office.
To my family and to the many other Georgians who worked so tirelessly to make this moment possible, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I pledge to you that I will spend the next four years striving to be the kind of Governor that you will always be proud you worked and voted for. I will need your continued support and your prayers in the days, months and years to come.
As I stand here before you today, the 78th Governor of the Great State of Georgia, I am keenly aware that at this very moment and on this very spot, the past meets the future.
In preparing for this moment, I read many of the Inaugural addresses given by Governors before me, and what is so immediately apparent is that every man who has served as Governor of this State shared a common hope and desire to make Georgia a better place to work, to live and to raise children. I am like all of my predecessors in that I, too, cherish that dream for Georgia, but like each of those individuals, I hope my personal experiences and abilities will make that dream come true.
I am a believer in the lessons of history, and I am a believer in building on a solid foundation. I am also a believer in the People of our State. We in Georgia have a history of sound State Government, especially in recent times, and I intend to build on this solid foundation which has been left as a legacy to us by previous Governors and previous Legislatures.
I am taking office during a time of economic uncertainty, and I am not so naive as to try to paint a picture of financial bliss in State Government. I am only too aware that the realities of the economy will limit the scale and scope of my Administration, but I am prepared by determination and personal experience to make the most of the limited resources at our command for the time being.
I am committed to stringent and responsible management of the State's fiscal resources, to getting the most service possible for every tax dollar and to the principle of better government, not more government.

50

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

While I fully intend to see that State Government is managed and operated within its means and with no tax increase for the next four years, let me hasten to point out that my commitment does not require State Government to operate without dreams, nor does it mean that those dreams cannot or will not be fulfilled. Georgia will not stand still.
Present accomplishments, present achievements were once only dreams to those who came before us. Without dreams, a boy child born 46 years ago in a cotton mill village in North Georgia would not be standing here before you today taking a solemn oath of office to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of this State for the next four years.
I am following in the footsteps of a long line of outstanding Governors who were both dreamers and doers, men who dreamed of new industries and jobs, men who dreamed of better roads and highways, men who dreamed of improving public education, men who dreamed of a better quality of life for all Georgians, and they worked to make it happen.
The men who preceded me left long lists of accomplishments and achievements, but as best I can tell from the history books, no single Governor was ever able to fulfill all of the dreams he held for this State.
In four years, some may review the record of the Harris Administration and say we did not achieve enough, but no one will ever be able to say that we did not have dreams and that we did not exert every possible effort toward achieving those dreams. I know the results of hard work, the results of prayer, and the results of being committed to the completion of a task.
During the next four years, I will be striving to instill one principal ingredient in every aspect of State Government, and that ingredient is excellence. I am committed to achieving excellence in education, to the expansion of the State's economy to provide jobs for Georgians. I am committed to the enhancement and enrichment of our human service delivery systems, to the improvement of our system of transportation, and to the strengthening of our criminal justice system.
To best articulate the way I am feeling about these next four years, I can only refer to the first time I held my newborn son. All of my hopes and dreams for him and his future came together at that one emotion-filled moment. Every parent has experienced exactly that same feeling.
My greatest goal as Governor of this State is to be the kind of leader who can help make Georgia become the place where children have the opportunity to fulfill their parents' dreams for them, a State where children have every opportunity to reach their full potential.
There will not be a single moment in the next four years when anyone in the Harris Administration will have the luxury to stop and reflect on our accomplishments because our job will not be completed until the next Governor takes the oath I have just taken today.
I am a dreamer, but I am also a builder. I want the history books to reflect that the State of Georgia was a better place to live because of the dreams and the efforts of the Harris Administration. I want my Administration to be characterized by openness, honesty, fairness and, above all, a burning commitment to excellence as we serve the citizens of this State.
I ask the members of the General Assembly and all of those who serve in State Government to join with me as we shape an Administration to achieve this singular goal. I pledge to each and every member of the House and Senate and the people of Georgia my total cooperation and my total efforts so that as partners we work to build a State where all citizens can indeed be afforded the opportunity to fulfill their dreams.
To fulfill my commitment and to achieve my goal, I ask all Georgians to extend their hands to me and give me counsel and support. I ask God for strength, for His guidance,

TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1983

for Divine inspiration and for His blessings on the People of Georgia. For with God's help, all things are possible.

The following address was delivered by the Honorable Zell Miller, Lieutenant Governor, immediately after the administration of the oath of office:

INAUGURAL ADDRESS, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ZELL MILLER
My fellow Georgians:
It is with gratitude and humility that I continue to serve you as your Lieutenant Governor.
To be weighed in the balance of the electoral process again and be approved fills me with a new sense of responsibility to prove myself worthy of your confidence and equal to your expectations.
Toward those ends, I promise to work in your behalf to the full extent of my energy and capacity for the next four years.
Time, longevity, persistence and a kind fate have combined to cast me in a role that I had not exactly planned, but one which I cheerfully accept in all its implications, because, like Laban of the Old Testament, "I have learned by experience" and, like Henry Adams, I view experience as "an arch to build upon."
It was eight years ago that I stood beside George Busbee and pledged to work with him as a team.
I am proud that that pledge was faithfully kept, and that I had a supporting role in the conduct of an administration which achieved a spectacular succession of attainable goals while never once losing sight of the ultimate vision of Georgia's great future.
George Busbee succeeded because he worked at making government work for the benefit of all citizens. He understood the legislative process and worked in harmony with the General Assembly with good results.
Happily for Georgia of the present and future, we have today inaugurated another Governor of similar background, temperament and philosophy.
And it is my great privilege here and now to reiterate to Joe Frank Harris the same pledge of teamwork I made to the man he succeeds.
Governor Harris, I assure you of my total effort and cooperation in helping you make this administration equal in service and success to the one it follows.

Senator Allgood of the 22nd moved that the Joint Session of the General Assembly be now dissolved and the Senate and the House of Representatives adjourn to meet in regular session in their respective chambers in the State Capitol at 10:00 o'clock, A.M., on Wednesday, January 12, 1983.
The motion prevailed.
The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

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 cur
rently 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 what soever 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

be submitted and approved in the same manner and under the same conditions provided hereinbefore for transfers.
To the extent that Activity budget totals are in excess of Activity fund availabilities as a result of austerity reductions applied in this appropriations act, it is the intent of this General Assembly that the budget reductions to eliminate such excesses be applied only

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 forego ing 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.

Section 50. 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 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 utiliz ing xerographic reproducing equipment maintain a log for each unit of equipment indicat
ing the date, number of copies and such other data determined appropriate to control 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 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Fed eral funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropria
tions Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible: First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal
funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual
operating budgets; and Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effec
tive matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets.
It is the further intent of this General Assembly that the Office of Planning and Budget utilize its budgetary and fiscal authority so as to accomplish the above-stated intent to the greatest degree feasible; and that at the end of this fiscal year, said Office of Planning and Budget provide written notice to the members of the Appropriations Committees of the
Senate and House of Representatives of the instances of noncompliance with the stated
intent of this Section.

Section 52. 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.

COMBINED STATE OF THE STATE AND BUDGET ADDRESS By Governor Joe Frank Harris January 13, 1983

Lieutenant Governor Miller, Speaker Murphy, members of the General Assembly and members of the Consular Corps, it is both a privilege and an honor to be here today to address this joint session of the Legislature.
I am grateful to you for allowing me to combine the traditional State of the State message with the budget speech because this year, as much as any year in recent history, the state of the State is determined by the state of the budget.
Two days ago, I stood outside the Capitol and took the oath of office as Governor of Georgia. I told the people of Georgia at that time about the dreams that I have for our State ... dreams of new jobs, dreams of quality public education, dreams of a strong crimi nal justice system, dreams of an efficient and well-ordered State government.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The state of the national economy and the shortfall in State revenue collections would appear on the surface to limit, at least in the short run, hopes for major progress in educa tion, in crime-fighting, in roads and highways, in economic development. However, in look ing ahead, as we must do in preparing a State budget, there are real signs for optimism on the horizon. Economic indicators available to us give every reason to believe that in Fiscal Year 1984, a full economic recovery will be under way.
While I was forced to cut more than $66 million from the current Fiscal Year's bud get, those cuts and that pared-down budget gave me virtually a clean slate from which to work when it came to the 1984 budget.
I am recommending to you today a budget for next year of $4,018,000,000 based on projected increased revenues of $386 million and an average monthly revenue increase of 10.6 percent.
When you contrast my 10.6 percent projected growth rate with the 13-15 percent growth rate in the two years immediately after the mid-1970's recession, I think you will agree that my revenue estimate will not require mid-year budget cuts next year.
My budget is lean and tight. Most of the FY 1983 austerity measures have been car ried forward in continuation. In addition, I have recommended an increase of only 1.5 per cent in continuation for personal services in all departments. This figure will force most agencies to carry forward vacancies and keep a tight rein on payroll expenditures.
While the amounts recommended for continuation are lean, I am still able to recom mend significant improvements in a number of areas as evidence of my commitment to excellence in education, job development, criminal justice, transportation and human ser vice delivery systems.
In basic education programs, I am recommending an increase of $34,000,000 for public schools and $12.6 million for our colleges and universities. I am recommending a 5 percent cost of living increase in salaries for public school teachers, school bus drivers, and Univer sity System personnel. You will find that the budget includes an additional step for teach ers with 16 years or more experience.
I have also recommended a 4 percent salary increase for State employees with a $400 minimum. The total pay raise package will require in excess of $113,000,000 and I consider it one of the top priority items in my budget.
I have recommended a $60.3 million bond issue to finance public school construction with more emphasis on renovations than on new construction. I have also recommended $2.7 million for equipment and positions to open the new Heart of Georgia Vocational Facility. This facility and the larger vocational facility in Gwinnett County which will be completed in the next budget cycle are both essential to my commitment to advancing high technology training and attracting high technology industries.
I am recommending that the $75,000,000 grants to education fund, which was origi nally created to provide tax relief, be continued and increased to a level of $78,000,000. This $78,000,000 reflects my commitment to providing tax relief where possible, even in the face of fiscal austerity. I intend to do all I possibly can during the next four years to provide relief to local governments.
More important than the increase in funding in the long run will be the establishment of the Educational Review Commission. The importance I place on this project cannot be overstated. One of my deepest beliefs is that money alone cannot solve all our problems. Through the Education Review Commission, I intend to look for ways we can provide our children a higher quality education by making constructive changes in our system of public education.
Health care continues to be one of the major funding problems in State Government, just as it is for every citizen in Georgia. I cannot avoid this problem in my very first bud get. I have recommended an increase in the Medicaid program by $18,769,166. The total

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1983

333

Medicaid program, including State and federal funds, will grow to a level of $710,260,519. A little over a decade ago, Medicaid was only a $28.7 million program, yet it may pass a billion dollars during the next four years. This is a startling illustration of health care costs spiraling out of control.
In an effort to avoid Federal sanctions in Medicaid, I am recommending several pro grams to detect fraud and abuse, require a better review of claims, and seek reimburse ments for overpayments. I also intend to pay particular attention and give careful study to the various Medicaid reimbursement rate structures.
I am recommending an increase of $22,898,866 for the Department of Human Resources. In this recommendation is a 4 percent increase for a family of three in the AFDC program. This one item in the budget will benefit more than 92,000 families each month. I am also recommending $1,783,607 for our community mental health centers to replace the Federal funds which are no longer available.
I am recommending $17,000,000 in State contributions to the State health insurance program for State employees and teachers. Costs in this program have risen so fast that the only alternative to this $17,000,000 contribution is to force State employees and teach ers to accept drastic reductions in their benefits. That is not an acceptable alternative.
One of the major crises we have faced in recent years has been the overcrowding of our prisons and the backlog of State prisoners in local jails. Through a series of actions approved by the General Assembly, such as new prisons, emergency modular housing, expanded transitional and diversion centers, and expanded parole and probation efforts, we have seen a gradual stabilization of the problem, but my goal is to solve the problem, not simply stabilize it. I also intend to make every effort to remove the Federal courts from the administration of our prison system.
I am recommending $20,777,004 in new funds for the Department of Offender Reha bilitation. This will provide 527 new positions, make many necessary physical improve ments, and facilitate the housing of 16,092 inmates by the end of Fiscal Year 1984. This number is an increase from the 14,366 prisoners held in State facilities at the end of last month.
The increased number of prisoners will go into two new prisons new opening in Rich mond and Dodge Counties, as well as the 1,000 modular housing units the Legislative Fis cal Affairs subcommittee approved last summer.
I am also permanently expanding a program we established on a trial basis last year - the matching grant program for county work camp expansion and I am creating an addi tional program to assist local governments with their jail problems.
I have recommended $840,000 for a 50-50 matching grant program to allow counties to expand their work camp capacity, and I have recommended $730,000 in grants and inmate work crew costs to assist local governments in jail renovations.
I am also recommending $2,529,249 to hire 148 new personnel for a vastly expanded role of parole supervision through the Board of Pardons and Paroles. This program is an essential element in my commitment to managing our prison population more effectively.
Also in the criminal justice area, I am recommending a major new drug enforcement initiative with a cost of almost $1.2 million. These funds will add 19 positions to the GBI, increasing the number of agents throughout the State. As part of this drug enforcement initiative, I am requiring all State agencies with airplanes to assist the GBI, especially in providing air support for the patrolling of our coastline.
I am also recommending over $350,000 for the purchase of new equipment such as firearms, bullet-proof vests, night vision equipment and other information-gathering devices.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The National Guard has recently signed an agreement with the GBI to provide assist ance in a number of ways, and I will continue to monitor this agreement and the working relationship between these two State agencies. Aside from the increased funding, my drug enforcement initiative will require a coordinated effort by all state law enforcement agen cies.
In addition to the $60.3 million in bonds for local school construction previously men tioned, I am recommending $13,461,000 in bonds to continue the development of the Pub lic Safety Training Center in Forsyth and $10,000,000 in bonds to provide furniture, fixtures and equipment for the expanded portion of the Georgia World Congress Center which will open in September. I'm also recommending $1.5 million in bonds to build a critically needed regional youth development center in the Thomasville area.
To fund Phase III of the five-year program to expand our ports facilities in Savannah and Brunswick, I am recommending $48,720,000 in bonds. Both the principal and the interest on these bonds will be repaid in full by the Georgia Ports Authority.
As I said earlier in my remarks, as a member of the House of Representatives, I have listened to many budget speeches and I know how boring the recitation of numbers can sometimes be. You have my budget before you, and I ask you that you study it in total before you begin forming your opinions and conclusions about it, in part.
Although I feel it is the very best budget I could recommend to you, based on the facts and information I had, I am aware that from the time a Governor begins and ends his budget writing process, the economy can change, certain needs can change, and other influencing factors can change.
For that reason, I am not locked in concrete on every single item in my budget recom mendations. I fully recognize the budget will go through the Legislative process and that changes will be suggested by you and, in fact, changes will be made. My desire is to work with you on this budget so that the final document we all agree on serves the best inter ests of all Georgians.
Today's national economy and the restrictions it imposes on our State budget require a different approach to solving Georgia's problems. As Governor, I will not write budgets that simply attempt to solve problems by increased funding.
Rather, we are going to have to look at how our programs are operated and how our tax dollars are spent to make sure that we are getting the maximum benefit possible from each and every tax dollar.
The budget that I am presenting to you today will demand innovation, flexibility and good management by all agency and department heads. My charge to them is that they now must look at their problems and responsibilities from an entirely new perspective.
Traditional requests for more people and more dollars will not be tolerated in my administration. We do not have that luxury in these times. I will demand creative, innova tive thinkers; I will demand creative, innovative solutions to problems; and I will demand creative, innovative management of the responsibilities with which State government is entrusted.
I have said many times before that my goal is to provide better government, not more government, and, with your help, I intend to achieve that goal during my administration.
I am committed to excellence in education, excellence in our criminal justice system, excellence in the delivery of health care by the State, and to excellence in a coordinated program of economic development.
I am very aware that State government is being called on to provide more and better services for more people while the cost of providing these services is increasing dramatically. I remain committed to more effective and efficient use of our resources while maintaining my campaign pledge of no tax increases.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1983

335

During my first year in office, I intend to thoroughly review the functions of agencies involved in education, those involved in public safety and criminal justice, those involved in health and human services, and those involved in economic development. Where there is duplication, where there is overlapping of funding or functions, I pledge to correct it. Where our efforts are weak, I pledge to strengthen them.
On this day, I can say to you unequivocably that because of the actions of the previ ous Governor and the Legislators who worked with him, the state of the State is good and the outlook for improvement is excellent.
This time next year, the state of the State will, in large part, be the result of our actions, yours and mine. My goal is to be able to stand before you next year and say that the state of the State is better than it has ever been in our lifetimes.
I ask for your support, your prayers, your criticism and your cooperation as we under take this important task before us. I pledge to you the same. Thank you for inviting me here today.

Section 50. 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 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 utiliz ing xerographic reproducing equipment maintain a log for each unit of equipment indicat ing the date, number of copies and such other data determined appropriate to control the utilization of such equipment.

Section 51. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Fed eral funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropria tions Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and
Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effec tive matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets.

530

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the 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 appropria tions.
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.

In those cases in which the afore said 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.
To the extent that Activity budget totals are in excess of Activity fund availabilities as a result of austerity reductions applied in this appropriations act, it is the intent of this General Assembly that the budget reductions to eliminate such excesses be applied only to common object classes.

(b) The board may employ clerical assistance as is required and their compensation shall be fixed by the board.
20-3-512. (a) It shall be the duty of the board to receive and pass upon, allow or disallow all applications for loans or scholarships made by students who are bona fide citizens and residents of the State of Georgia and who desire to become doctors of medi cine and who are acceptable for enrollment in an accredited four-year medical school in the United States which has received accreditation or provisional accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association or the Bureau of Professional Education of the American Osteopathic Association for a pro gram in medical education designed to qualify the graduate for licensure by the Compos ite State Board of Medical Examiners of Georgia. The purpose of such loans shall be to enable such applicants to obtain a standard four-year medical education which will qualify them to become licensed to practice medicine in the State of Georgia. It shall be the duty of the board to make a careful and full investigation of the ability, charac ter, and qualifications of each applicant and determine the applicant's fitness to become the recipient of such loan or scholarship, and for that purpose the board may propound such examination to each applicant which it deems proper. The said board may also pre scribe such rules and regulations as it deems necessary and proper to carry out the pur pose and intention of this part.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to motor vehi cles and traffic, is amended by adding between Article 3 and Article 4 of Chapter 5 of said title a new Article 3.1 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 3.1
40-5-67. From and after September 1, 1983, the provisions of this article shall apply to all cases in which an individual is charged with violating the provisions of Code Sec tion 40-6-391, relating to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. All provisions of this Code which are applicable to traffic offenses generally and to violations of Code Section 40-6-391 shall continue to be applicable to the extent that such provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this article.
40-5-68. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Code Section 40-6-391' means Code Section 40-6-391 of the Official Code of
Georgia Annotated, as now or hereafter amended, and any local ordinance adopted pursuant to Article 14 of Chapter 6 of Title 40, which ordinance adopts the provisions of Code Section 40-6-391.
(2) 'Conviction' means a forfeiture of bail or other collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in court; the imposition of a fine or imprisonment, regard less of whether such fine or imprisonment is suspended, probated, stayed, or rebated; a plea of guilty; a finding of guilt; or a plea of nolo contendere. 40-5-69. (a) Whenever an individual is charged with violating Code Section 40-6-391, the law enforcement officer shall take the driver's license of the individual so charged. The driver's license shall be attached to the court's copy of the uniform traffic citation and complaint form and shall be forwarded to the court having jurisdiction of the offense. A copy of the uniform traffic citation and complaint form shall be for warded, within 15 days of issue, to the Department of Public Safety. Taking the driver's license as required in this Code section shall not prohibit any law enforcement officer or agency from requiring any cash bond authorized by Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 17. , (b) At the time the law enforcement officer takes the driver's license, he shall issue a temporary driving permit to the individual. This temporary driving permit shall be valid until the expiration of 180 days, until the date set for the court appearance on the charge, or until the individual's driving privilege is suspended or revoked under the pro visions of Code Section 40-5-55, relating to suspensions of licenses for refusal to submit to a blood alcohol test, whichever shall first occur. The Department of Public Safety, at its sole discretion, may delay the expiration date of the temporary driving permit, but in no event shall this delay extend beyond the date of the court appearance on the charge or beyond the date when such individual's driving privilege has been suspended under Code Section 40-5-55. The department shall by rules and regulations establish the conditions under which the expiration of the temporary permit may be delayed. (c) (1) If the individual is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall, within 15 days, forward the individual's driver's license and the record of the disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety. At this time, the court shall also require the individual to surrender the temporary driving permit issued pur suant to subsection (b) of this Code section.

(2) If the individual is not convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall return the driver's license to the individual, unless the individual refused to sub mit to a blood alcohol test as required by Code Section 40-5-55. If the individual refused to submit to such test, the driver's license shall be forwarded to the Depart ment of Public Safety for disposition in accordance with Code Section 40-5-55 unless the individual can show that he prevailed at a hearing which was held in accordance with subsection (d) of Code Section 40-5-55. 40-5-70. (a) The driver's license of any individual convicted of violating Code Sec tion 40-6-391 shall by operation of law be suspended, and such suspension shall be sub ject to the terms and conditions provided in subsection (b) of this Code section. (b) (1) The driver's license of any individual convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391 shall be suspended as follows:
(A) Upon the first conviction, the period of suspension shall be for one year. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be reinstated if the person submits proof of completion of a certified and approved basic alcohol or drug course from an approved driver improvement clinic and pays a restoration fee of $25.00;
(B) Upon the second conviction within five years, the period of suspension shall be for three years. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license.

(C) Upon the third conviction within five years, such person shall be a habitual violator, and his license shall be indefinitely suspended pending revocation. The Department of Public Safety shall revoke such individual's driver's license as pro vided in Code Section 40-5-58 and Code Section 40-5-62. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection which pro vide for the early reinstatement of an individual's driver's license, the Department of Public Safety shall not reinstate the driver's license during any period of suspension imposed under subsection (b) of Code Section 40-5-63.
(c) The periods of suspension provided for in this Code section shall begin on the date the individual is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391.
(d) In all cases in which the department may return a license to a driver prior to the termination of the full period of suspension, the department may require such tests of driving skill and knowledge as it determines to be proper, and the department's dis cretion shall be guided by the driver's past driving record and performance.
(e) The commissioner may, before returning a license to a person prior to the full period of a suspension, require such person to maintain and present proof of present and future minimum motor vehicle insurance coverage as defined in paragraph (8) of Code Section 40-5-1 for a period not to exceed the remaining full period of suspension. If a person who is required to maintain present and future motor vehicle insurance coverage ceases to maintain such coverage, that person's license shall become immediately sus pended without further action by the department and the person shall forthwith surren der his license to the department. The license shall remain suspended until present and future minimum motor vehicle insurance coverage is restored or no longer required. The department shall establish by rules and regulations the method and manner by which present and future minimum motor vehicle insurance coverage shall be proved and maintained, provided that when the full period of suspension has run, the license shall unconditionally be returned to the driver.

Such forms shall require such information as is necessary for the department to determine the need for such permit. All applications shall be signed by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths.

762

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) The department shall issue a limited driving permit if the application indicates that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant. For the purposes of this Code section, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot rea sonably obtain other transportation, and therefore the applicant would be prohibited from:
(1) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his occu pation;
(2) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs; (3) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a student; or (4) Attending under court order any driver education or improvement school approved by the court which entered the judgment of conviction resulting in suspen sion of his driver's license or by the commissioner. (d) A limited driving permit shall be endorsed with such conditions as the depart ment deems necessary to ensure that such permit will be used by the permittee only to avoid the conditions of extreme hardship. Such conditions may include the following restrictions: (1) Specific places between which the permittee may be allowed to operate a motor vehicle; (2) Routes to be followed by the permittee; (3) Times of travel; (4) The specific vehicles which the permittee may operate; and (5) Such other restrictions as the department may require.

(f) No official or employee of the department shall be criminally or civilly liable for issuing a limited driving permit as provided for in this Code section. (g) (1) Any permittee who is convicted of violating any state law or local ordinance to which Code Section 40-5-54 or Code Section 40-5-70 is applicable or any permittee who is convicted of violating the conditions endorsed on his permit shall have his per mit revoked. Any court in which such conviction is had shall require the permittee to surrender the permit to the court, and the court shall forward it to the Department of Public Safety with a copy of the conviction. (2) Any person whose limited driving permit has been revoked shall not be eligible for reinstatement of his driver's license until six months from the date such permit was revoked under this subsection.
(h) The department shall not issue a limited driving permit to any person whose driver's license has been suspended under the provisions of Code Section 40-5-55; and any limited driving permit issued under this Code section shall immediately be revoked if, subsequent to its issue, the permittee's driving privilege is suspended under the provi sions of Code Section 40-5-55.
(i) Any person whose permit has been revoked, or who has been refused a permit by the department, may make a request in writing for a hearing to be provided by the department. Such hearing shall be provided by the department within 30 days after the receipt of such request and shall follow the procedures required by Chapter 13 of Title 50, the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act." Appeal from such hearing shall be in accordance with said Act.
(j) The department may promulgate such rules and regulations as are necessary to implement this Code section.
(k) Any permittee who operates a vehicle in violation of any condition specified on the permit shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."

"40-5-71. (a) Any person convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391 who has not been convicted of violating said Code section within the preceding five years may apply to the Department of Public Safety for a limited driving permit and the department shall issue a limited driving permit if the application indicates that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant. For purposes of this subsection, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot reasonably obtain other transporta tion, and, therefore, the applicant would be prohibited from:
(1) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his occu pation;
(2) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs;
(3) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a student; or
(4) Attending under court order any driver education or improvement school approved by the court which entered the judgment of conviction resulting in suspen sion of his driver's license or by the commissioner.
(b) Any person convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391 who has no more than one previous conviction of violating such Code section within the preceding five years may apply to the Department of Public Safety for a limited driving permit and the department shall issue a limited driving permit if the application indicates that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant.

By: Representatives Murphy of the 18th, Burruss of the 20th, Collins of the 144th, Walker of the 115th, Evans of the 84th and others: A BILL to amend Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to ad valorem taxation in general, so as to provide for preferential assessment of tangible real property which is devoted to bona fide agricultural purposes; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to ad valorem taxation in general, so as to provide for preferential assess ment of tangible real property which is devoted to bona fide agricultural purposes; to provide conditions of such assessment and penalties for breach of such conditions; to state legislative intent; to provide for all related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. It is the intent of this Act to implement certain changes imposed by Arti cle VII, Section I, Paragraph III, subparagraph (c) of the Constitution of the State of Georgia.
Section 2. Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to ad valorem taxation in general, is amended by striking Code Section 48-5-7 and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"48-5-7. (a) Taxable Except as otherwise provided in this Code section, taxable tan gible property shall be assessed at 40 percent of its fair market value and shall be taxed on a levy made by each respective tax jurisdiction according to 40 percent of the property's fair market value.
(b) Tangible real property which is devoted to bona fide agricultural purposes as defined in this chapter and which otherwise conforms to the conditions and limitations imposed in this chapter shall be assessed for ad valorem property tax purposes at 75 percent of the value which other tangible real property js assessed and shall be taxed on a levy made by each respective tax jurisdiction according to said assessment.
{b) (c) The requirement contained in this Code section that all tax jurisdictions assess taxable tangible property at 40 percent of fair market value shall not apply to any tax jurisdiction whose ratio of assessed value to fair market value exceeded 40 per cent for the tax year 1971. No tax jurisdiction so exempted shall assess at a ratio of less

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1983

979

than 40 percent except as necessary to effect the preferential assessment provided in subsection (b) of this Code section.
{e} (d) Each notice of ad valorem taxes due sent to taxpayers of counties and munici palities shall include both the fair market value of the property of the taxpayer which is subject to taxation and the assessed value of the property after being reduced as pro vided by this Code section."
Section 3. Said article is further amended by adding a new Code Section 48-5-7.1 to read as follows:
"48-5-7.1. (a) For purposes of this article, 'tangible real property which is devoted to "bona fide agricultural purposes'":
(1) Is tangible real property, the primary use of which is good faith commercial production from or on the land of agricultural products, including horticultural, floricultural, forestry, dairy, livestock, poultry, and apiarian products and all other forms of farm products; but
(2) Includes only the value which is $100,000.00 or less of the fair market value of tangible real property which is devoted to the storage or processing of agricultural products from or on the property; and
(3) Includes only the value which is $75,000.00 or less of the fair market value of any residence located on the property if the residence is the home of one or more per sons engaged in the production of agricultural products from or on the property; and
(4) Excludes the entire value of any residence other than a residence referred to in paragraph (3) of this subsection. (b) No property shall qualify for the preferential ad valorem property tax assessment provided for in subsection (b) of Code Section 48-5-7 unless:
(1) It is owned by one or more natural or naturalized citizens; or (2) It is owned by a family-farm corporation, the controlling interest of which is owned by individuals related to each other within the fourth degree by civil reckoning, and such corporation derived 80 percent or more of its gross income for the year immediately preceding the year in which application for preferential assessment is made from bona fide agricultural pursuits carried out on tangible real property located in this state, which property is devoted to bona fide agricultural purposes. (c) No property shall qualify for said preferential assessment if such assessment would result in any person who has a beneficial interest in such property, including any interest in the nature of stock ownership, receiving in any tax year any benefit of prefer ential assessment as to more than 2,000 acres. If any taxpayer has any beneficial interest in more than 2,000 acres of tangible real property which is devoted to bona fide agricul tural purposes, such taxpayer shall apply for preferential assessment only as to 2,000 acres of such land. (d) No property shall qualify for preferential assessment unless and until the owner of such property agrees by covenant with the appropriate taxing authority to maintain the eligible property in bona fide agricultural purposes for a period of at least ten years beginning on the first day of January falling after the date of his application for prefer ential assessment and ending on the last day of December of the tenth year of the cove nant period. After the expiration of any ten-year covenant period, the property shall not qualify for further preferential assessment until and unless the owner of the property enters into a renewal covenant for an additional period of ten years. (e) No property shall maintain its eligibility for preferential assessment unless a valid covenant remains in effect and unless the property is continuously devoted to bona fide agricultural purposes during the entire period of the covenant. (f) If any change in ownership of such qualified property occurs during the covenant period, all qualification requirements must be met again before the property shall be eli gible to be continued for preferential assessment. If ownership of the property is acquired during a covenant period by a person qualified to enter into an original cove nant, by a newly formed corporation the stock in which is owned by the original cove nantor or others related to the original covenantor within the fourth degree by civil reckoning, or by the personal representative of an owner who was a party to the cove nant then the original covenant may be continued by such acquiring party for the

980

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

remainder of the term in which event no breach of the covenant shall be deemed to have occurred.
(g) A penalty shall be imposed under this subsection if, during the first nine years of the period of the original covenant, excluding renewals, entered into by a taxpayer, the covenant is breached. The amount of the penalty shall be computed as follows:
(1) If the property has received preferential assessment for fewer than five tax years, multiply the total amount by which such preferential assessment has reduced taxes otherwise due for those years times:
(A) A factor of five if the property has received preferential assessment for one year;
(B) A factor of 2.5 if the property has received preferential assessment for two years;
(C) A factor of 1.66 if the property has received preferential assessment for three years; or
(D) A factor of 1.25 if the property has received preferential assessment for four years; or
(2) If the property has received preferential assessment for five or more tax years, total the amount by which such preferential assessment has reduced taxes which would have otherwise been due for:
(A) The five tax years for which preferential assessment was granted if the prop erty has received preferential assessment for five years;
(B) The four most recent tax years for which preferential assessment was granted if the property has received preferential assessment for six years;
(C) The three most recent tax years for which preferential assessment was granted if the property has received preferential assessment for seven years;
(D) The two most recent tax years for which preferential assessment was granted if the property has received preferential assessment for eight years; or
(E) The one most recent tax year for which preferential assessment was granted if the property has received preferential assessment for nine years; and
(3) Multiply the amount determined under paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection times a factor of three.
(h) A penalty imposed under subsection (g) of this Code section shall bear interest
at the rate specified in Code Section 48-2-40 from the date the covenant is breached. (i) Penalties and interest imposed under this Code section shall constitute a lien
against the property and shall be collected as other unpaid ad valorem taxes are col lected. Such penalties and interest shall be distributed pro rata to each taxing jurisdic tion wherein the preferential assessment has been granted based upon the total amount
by which such preferential assessment has reduced taxes for each such taxing jurisdic tion on the property in question as provided in this Code section.
(j) The penalty imposed by subsection (g) of this Code section shall not apply in any case where a covenant is breached solely as a result of:
(1) The acquisition of part or all of the property under the power of eminent domain;
(2) The sale of part or all of the property to a public or private entity which would have had the authority to acquire the property under the power of eminent domain;
or (3) The death of an owner who was a party to the covenant.
(k) All applications for preferential assessment, including the covenant agreement
required under this Code section, shall be filed before January 1 of the tax year for which such preferential assessment shall be first applicable. Applications for preferential assessment shall be filed with the county board of tax assessors who shall approve or
deny the application. If the application is denied, the board of tax assessors shall notify the applicant in the same manner that notices of assessment are given pursuant to Code Section 48-5-306. Appeals from the denial of an application by the board of tax assessors
shall be made in the same manner that other property tax appeals are made pursuant to Code Section 48-5-311.
(1) The Commissioner shall by regulation provide uniform application and covenant forms to be used in making application for preferential assessment. Such application

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1983

981

shall include an oath or affirmation by the taxpayer that he has not at any time received, or made a pending application for, preferential assessment in the same or another county with respect to any property which taken together with property for which application is then being made exceeds 2,000 acres."
Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval and shall apply to all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1984.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following amendment was read:

Representatives Crawford of the 5th and Porter of the 119th move to amend the Com mittee substitute to HB 230 by striking all matter from line 9 of page 5 through line 23 of page 6 and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(g) If a covenant or renewal thereof entered into under this Code section is breached, then taxes for the year in which the breach occurs shall be computed without regard to any preferential assessment and there shall be imposed a penalty. The amount of the penalty shall be:
(1) If the property has received preferential assessment for one or two prior years, then the amount by which preferential assessment has reduced all taxes otherwise due for that year or those years plus interest on such amount or amounts at the rate speci fied in Code Section 48-2-40 from the time such amount or amounts would have been due if the property had not received preferential assessment; or
(2) If the property has received preferential assessment for three or more prior years, then the amount by which preferential assessment has reduced all taxes other wise due for the three most recent of such years plus interest on such amounts at the rate specified in Code Section 48-2-40 from the time such amounts would have been due if the property had not received preferential assessment."

1026

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(A) That its purpose is to protect the purchaser's right to a refund if he cancels the sales agreement for a time-share interval within a seven-day cancellation period;
(B) That funds may be disbursed to the developer by the escrow agent from the escrow account only after expiration of the purchaser's seven-day cancellation period and in accordance with the sales agreement; and
(C) That the escrow agent may release funds to the developer from the escrow account only after receipt of a sworn statement from the developer that no cancella tion notice was received before expiration of the seven-day period; (2) Deposit with an escrow agent after the seven-day cancellation period 100 per cent of all funds which are received from purchasers of time-share uses. The deposit of such funds shall be evidenced by an executed escrow agreement between the escrow agent and the developer, the provisions of which shall include:
(A) That its purpose is to protect the purchaser's right to a refund, at any time the accommodations or facilities are no longer available as provided in the sales agreement entered into by the developer and the purchaser in an amount provided for in subparagraph (a)(2)(B) of this Code section;
(B) That funds may be disbursed to the developer by the escrow agent from the escrow account periodically in the ratio of the amount of time the purchaser has already used or had the right to use the accommodations or facilities of the timeshare use at the time of the disbursement in relation to the total time sold to the purchaser; and
(C) That the escrow agent may release funds to the developer from the escrow account only after receipt of a statement signed by the purchaser indicating that such purchaser has used or has had the right to use a specific number of days out of the total time period purchased. If a purchaser refuses to sign such a statement when tendered, the developer may submit a sworn statement to the escrow agent that the purchaser used or had the right to use a specific number of days, but that the purchaser refused to sign a statement to that effect;
(3) Place 100 percent of all funds received from purchasers of such time-share intervals, after the seven-day cancellation periods have ended, in an escrow account when interests in real property are being sold, according to a sales agreement which will transfer title to the purchasers. The establishment of such an escrow account shall be evidenced by an executed escrow agreement between the escrow agent and the developer, the provisions of which shall include:
(A) That its purpose is to protect all deposits and payments made by a pur chaser toward the purchase price until the deed is delivered to the purchaser, whether physically or by recording the same, or until the purchaser and developer enter into a sales agreement which will transfer title to the purchaser; and
(B) That funds may be disbursed to the developer by the escrow agent from the escrow account only after title has been delivered to the purchaser physically or delivered for recording to the clerk of the superior court in the county where the real property underlying the time-share project is located or at such other time as may be agreed upon in writing by the purchaser and developer. However, in the case of a time-share estate sold by agreement for deed, funds may only be disbursed to the developer after recording of the agreement for deed and, if necessary, a notice to creditors with secured interests in the property underlying the time-share project and, if the property is encumbered by a deed to secure debt or mortgage instru ment, a nondisturbance instrument has been recorded in the public records of the county or counties in which the time-share is located; or alternatively, after the developer records a notice to the aforesaid creditors and obtains a release of lien for a time-share interval, funds may be disbursed pertaining to that time-share interval; and (4) Place any funds escrowed pursuant to this Code section with an escrow agent who shall be one of the following: an attorney in this state, a bank or savings and loan company having trust powers in this state, a title company in this state, or a real estate broker in this state. In lieu of the foregoing, with the approval of the commis sion, the funds may be escrowed in an account required by the jurisdiction in which

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1983

1027

the sale of the time-share took place. The developer must notify the commission of the name and address of the escrow agent or the name, address, and account number of the bank or savings and loan company where the developer maintains the funds. Maintenance of trust funds and disbursements by an escrow agent in another state must be in accordance with the provisions of this article. The escrow agreement shall authorize the commission or its representative to examine said trust account.
(b) An escrow agent holding funds escrowed pursuant to this Code section may invest such escrowed funds in securities of the United States government, or any agency thereof, or in savings or time deposits in institutions insured by an agency of the United States government. The right to receive the interest generated by any such investments shall be as specified by a written agreement between the developer and the purchaser.
(c) Each escrow agent shall maintain separate books and records for each time-share project and shall maintain such books and records according to generally accepted accounting principles.
(d) In lieu of any escrows required by this Code section, the commission shall have the discretion to accept other assurances, including, but not limited to, a surety bond or an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the escrow requirements of this Code section. Determination of default and refund of deposits shall be governed by the
escrow release provision of this Code section. (e) (1) A developer may elect to terminate the use of an escrow account established pursuant to this Code section if, at a later date, such developer posts a surety bond which complies with the requirements of paragraph (2) of this subsection. Any funds
remaining in such escrow account at the time a developer elects to terminate its use shall be disbursed to the developer by the escrow agent only after the developer has transmitted to the escrow agent and to each purchaser affected a copy of the surety
bond. (2) A surety bond established pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be
executed by the developer as principal and with a surety company authorized to do business in this state. The surety bond shall be in an amount equal to the total
amount of the sales agreement and shall be posted with the clerk of the superior court in the county where the time-share accommodations or facilities are located. The bond shall be payable to the Georgia Real Estate Commission, shall be conditioned upon the faithful compliance with the provisions of this article and with the sales agree
ment, and shall be used to indemnify any purchaser injured by the developer's viola tion of this article or failure to perform pursuant to the sales agreement. The bond may be reduced periodically in the ratio of the amount of time used by purchasers
to the total time sold to purchasers. 44-3-176. (a) If a developer enters into a sales agreement to sell a time-share inter
val and the construction, furnishings, and landscaping of the time-share project have not been substantially completed in accordance with the representations made by the devel oper in the disclosures required by this article, the developer shall deposit with an
escrow agent all payments received by the developer from the purchaser towards the sales price until the project is 'substantially complete. Funds shall be released from escrow as follows:
(1) If a purchaser properly terminates the sales agreement pursuant to its terms or pursuant to this article, the funds shall be paid to the purchaser together with any
interest earned; (2) If the purchaser defaults in the performance of his obligations under the sales
agreement, the funds shall be paid to the developer together with any interest earned;
or (3) If the funds of a purchaser have not been previously disbursed in accordance
with the provisions of this subsection, they may be disbursed to the developer in accordance with this article by the escrow agent upon substantial completion of the
time-share project. (b) In lieu of any escrows required by subsection (a) of this Code section, the pur chasers shall have the discretion to accept in writing other financial assurances includ ing, but not limited to, a performance bond or an irrevocable letter of credit in an
amount equal to the cost to complete the time-share project.

1028

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) For the purpose of this Code section, 'substantially completed' means that all amenities, furnishings, appliances, and structural components and mechanical systems of buildings are completed and provided as represented in the public offering statement and that the premises are ready for occupancy.
44-3-177. (a) Any time-share program registered under this article in which a public offering statement has been prepared shall not require registration under any of the fol lowing:
(1) Article 1 of Chapter 3 of Title 44; (2) Chapter 5 of Title 10; or (3) Any other state law which requires the preparation of a public offering state ment or substantially similar document for distribution to purchasers, (b) Any time-share program registered under this article that fails to restrict the price at which an owner may sell or exchange his time-share interval shall not by virtue of such failure cause the time-share interval to become a security under Chapter 5 of Title 10; nor shall an exchange program offering such a time-share interval for exchange be construed to be offering a security under Chapter 5 of Title 10. 44-3-178. (a) In lieu of the public offering statement required by this article, the commission, in its discretion, may permit the developer to give prospective purchasers a public offering statement or similar disclosure document which meets the requirements of the Federal Securities and Exchange Act of 1933 or any other state's act regulating time-share projects which requires a public offering statement or similar disclosure docu
ment to be prepared and provided to purchasers. (b) A public offering statement need not be prepared or delivered in the case of: (1) A transfer of a time-share interval by any time-share interval owner or user
other than the developer or his agent; (2) A disposition pursuant to court order; (3) A disposition by a government or governmental agency;
(4) A disposition by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (5) A disposition of a time-share interval in a time-share project situated wholly
outside this state, provided that all solicitations, negotiations, and sales agreements took place wholly outside this state and the sales agreement was executed wholly out side this state;
(6) A gratuitious transfer of a time-share interval; or
(7) Group reservations made for 15 or more people as a single transaction between a hotel and travel agent or travel groups for hotel accommodations when deposits are made and held for more than three years in advance. 44-3-179. The developer shall immediately amend or supplement the public offering
statement to report any material change in the information required by Code Section 44-3-172 and shall supply the commission a copy of that change within ten days. As to any exchange program, the developer shall use the current written materials that are supplied to it for distribution to the time-share interval owners as it is received.
44-3-180. (a) Unless the purchaser expressly agrees in the sales agreement to accept his interest subject to a lien or by assuming a lien prior to transferring a time-share interval other than by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the developer shall record or furnish to the purchaser releases of all liens affecting that time-share interval or shall provide
a surety bond or insurance against the lien, as provided for liens on real estate in this state. In lieu of the foregoing, a lienholder may agree to repurchase in the amount actu ally paid by the purchaser a purchaser's time-share interval in the event the lienholder
comes into possession of the time-share project; or the lienholder may agree to allow the continued right of quiet enjoyment to the purchaser.
(b) Unless a time-share interval owner or his predecessor in title agrees otherwise with the lienor, if a lien other than an underlying mortgage or security deed becomes effective against more than one time-share interval in a time-share project, any time-
share interval owner is entitled to a release of his time-share interval from the lien upon payment of the amount of the lien attributable to his time-share interval. The amount of the payment must be proportionate to the ratio that the time-share interval owner's liability bears to the liabilities of all time-share interval owners whose interests are sub
ject to the lien. Upon receipt of payment, the lienholder shall promptly deliver to the

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1983

1029

time-share interval owner a release of the lien covering that time-share interval. After payment, the managing entity may not assess or have a lien against that time-share interval for any portion of the expenses incurred in connection with that lien.
44-3-181. The developer shall not sell, lease, assign, or otherwise transfer the entire interest of the developer, other than as a transfer of a time-share interval in the normal course of marketing, in the time-share program or the accommodations or facilities to a third party when such a sale, lease, assignment, or other transfer substantially affects the rights of other owners of the time-share units, unless:
(1) The third party agrees in writing to honor fully the rights of purchasers of the time-share intervals to occupy and use the accommodations or facilities or agrees in writing to purchase the interval in an amount equal to the amount actually paid by the purchaser toward the purchase price of the time-share interval;
(2) The third party agrees in writing to honor fully the rights of purchasers of the time-share intervals to cancel their sales agreement and receive any refunds due;
(3) The third party agrees in writing to comply with the provisions of this article for as long as the third party continues to sell the time-share project or for as long as purchasers of the time-share project are entitled to occupy the accommodations or use the facilities, whichever is longer in time; and
(4) Written notice is given to the association and notice shall be sent by certified mail within 30 days of the sale, lease, assignment, or other transfer. 44-3-182. The person or entity responsible for making or collecting common expense assessments or maintenance assessments shall keep detailed financial records and shall keep said funds in a designated trust account. All financial and other records shall be made reasonably available for examination by any time-share interval owner or his authorized agents and to the commission or its authorized agents. 44-3-183. If a developer or any other person subject to this article violates any provi sion of this article or any provision of the project instruments, any person or class of persons adversely affected by the violation has a claim for appropriate relief. Punitive damages may be awarded for a willful violation of this article. The court may also award reasonable attorney's fees. 44-3-184. A judicial proceeding where the accuracy of the public offering statement or validity of any sales agreement is an issue and a rescission of the sales agreement is sought or damages are sought must be commenced within one year after the date of the sales agreement, notwithstanding that the purchaser's terms of payments may extend beyond the period of limitations. However, with respect to the enforcement provisions in the sales agreement which require the continued furnishing of services and the recip rocal payments to be made by the purchaser, the period of bringing a judicial proceeding will continue for a period of three years for each breach, but the parties may agree to reduce the period of limitation to not less than two years.
Part 4
44-3-185. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to sell or offer for sale time-share intervals in this state by authorizing, using, directing, or aiding in the dissemination, publication, distribution, or circulation of any statement, advertise ment, radio broadcast, or telecast concerning the time-share project in which the timeshare intervals are offered, which contains any statement, or sketch which is false or misleading or contains any representation or pictorial representation of proposed improvements or nonexistent scenes without clearly indicating that the improvements are proposed and the scenes do not exist.

Representatives Mostiler of the 75th and Holmes of the 28th stated that they had inadvertently voted "aye" on the preceding roll call. They wished to be recorded as voting "nay" thereon.

The following amendment was read:

Representative Adams of the 79th moves to amend HB 250 by adding in the title on line 7 of page 1, immediately preceding the words "to provide", the following:
"to provide that rates calculated effective for calendar year 1983 and subsequent cal endar years shall be reduced below the rate effective for calendar year 1978 such that the reduced rate will cause a reduction in total unemployment insurance taxes collected from all employers subject to Code Section 34-8-122 in an amount equal to the increase in total unemployment insurance taxes resulting from an increase in the unemployment insurance taxable wage base from $6,000.00 to $7,000.00 in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Code Section 34-8-51; to provide that the account of each employer subject to this chapter and engaging in business in Georgia between January 1, 1983, and the effective date of this Act shall be credited in accordance with this rate reduction retroactive to the date in 1983 on which the employer was liable for payment of taxes under this chap ter;".
By renumbering Sections 2 and 3 as Sections 3 and 4, respectively, and adding a new Section 2 to read as follows:
"Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety subsection (i) of Code Section 34-8-122, relating to determination of rate of employer contributions in cases of purchase or merger and the computation of the State-wide Reserve Ratio, and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (i) to read as follows:
'(i) Effective with the year 1974, a State-wide Reserve Ratio shall be computed as of June 30 of each year. Such State-wide Reserve Ratio shall be computed by dividing the balance in the Reserve Fund, including accrued interest as of June 30 of each year by the total covered wages (as defined in this chapter) paid in the state for the 12 month period ending on December 31 of the previous calendar year. Any amount cred ited to the state's account under Section 903 of the Social Security Act, as amended, which has been appropriated for the expenses of administration, whether or not with drawn from the trust fund, shall be excluded from the Reserve Fund balance in com puting the State-wide Reserve Ratio. Rates calculated as of the June 30, 1981, computation date, which rates shall be effective for the calendar year 1982, and rates calculated as of subsequent computation dates for subsequent calendar years shall not

1108

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

be increased by operation of this subsection to more than that rate effective for calen dar year 1978. Rates calculated effective for calendar year 1983 and subsequent calen dar years shall be reduced below the rate effective for calendar year 1978 such that the reduced rate will cause a reduction in total unemployment insurance taxes col lected from all employers subject to this Code section in an amount equal to the increase in total unemployment insurance taxes resulting from an increase in the unemployment insurance taxable wage base from $6,000.00 to $7,000.00 in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Code Section 34-8-51. The account of each employer subject to this chapter and engaging in business in Georgia between January 1^ 1983, and the effective date of this subsection shall be credited m accordance with this rate reduc tion retroactive to the date in 1983 on which the employer was liable for payment of taxes under this chapter.
When the State-wide Reserve Ratio, as computed above, is 4.4 percent or more for any calendar year, each employer who does not have a deficit reserve balance and whose rate as computed under the rate table in subsection (h) of this Code section is 2.16 percent or less on his computation date shall have his contribution rate at the time of computation date credited by applying an overall reduction of the rate in accordance with the following table; provided, however, that such overall reduction for any year shall not exceed two steps more than the prior years:
If the State-wide Reserve Ratio:

Equals or Exceeds 4.4 percent 4.5 percent 4.6 percent 4.7 percent 4.8 percent 4.9 percent 5.0 percent and over

But Is Less Than 4.5 percent 4.6 percent 4.7 percent 4.8 percent 4.9 percent 5.0 percent

Overall Reduction 10 percent 20 percent 30 percent 40 percent 50 percent 60 percent 70 percent

When the State-wide Reserve Ratio, as calculated above, is less than 4.0 percent, there shall be an overall increase in the rate, as of the computation date, for each employer whose rate is computed under a rate table in subsection (h) of this Code sec tion in accordance with the following table; provided, however, that such overall increase for any year shall not exceed two steps more than that for the prior year:
If the State-wide Reserve Ratio:

Equals or Exceeds 3.8 percent 3.6 percent 3.4 percent 3.2 percent 3.0 percent 2.8 percent Under 2.8 percent

But Is Less Than 4.0 percent 3.8 percent 3.6 percent 3.4 percent 3.2 percent 3.0 percent

Overall Increase 10 percent 20 percent 30 percent 40 percent 50 percent 60 percent 70 percent

The computed rates after application of percentage reductions or increases will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of 1 percent.
The Commissioner will give notice to each employer on any rate change by reason of the above provisions."'

"ARTICLE 8
31-7-170. This article shall be known and may be cited as the 'Georgia Hospice Law.' 31-7-171. (a) The General Assembly finds that there is an interest in and need for hospice care, an alternative form of health care, for terminally ill patients and their fam ilies. The General Assembly further finds that hospice care is an important innovation which should be recognized and encouraged. (b) Recognizing that hospice programs respond to the need for responsible, compassionate, palliative care for terminally ill persons and for their families, extending into the bereavement period, this General Assembly establishes definitions, standards, and provisions for licensure and regulation for hospice programs in this state. 31-7-172.

(4) 'Hospice care' means both regularly scheduled care and care available on a 24 hour on-call basis, consisting of medical, nursing, social, spiritual, volunteer, and bereavement services substantially all of which are provided to the patient and to the patient's family regardless of ability to pay under a written care plan established and periodically reviewed by the patient's attending physician, by the medical director of the hospice program, and by the hospice care team. (5) 'Hospice care team' means an interdisciplinary working unit composed of mem bers of the various helping professions (who may donate their professional services), including but not limited to: a physician licensed or authorized to practice in this state, a registered professional nurse, a social worker, a member of the clergy or other counselor, and volunteers who provide hospice care.

(10) 'Terminally ill* means that the individual is experiencing an illness for which therapeutic intervention directed toward cure of the disease is no longer appropriate, and the patient's medical prognosis is one in which there is a life expectancy of six months or less. 31-7-173.

31-7-174. Any person, organization, or agency desiring to operate a hospice shall file with the department an application on a form prescribed and furnished by the depart ment. The application shall contain such reasonable information as the department may require related to the department's licensure purpose and function.
31-7-175. (a) The administration of this article is vested in the Department of Human Resources which shall:
(1) Prepare and furnish all forms necessary under the provisions of this article in relation to the application for licensure or renewals thereof;
(2) After consultation with appropriate public interest groups, adopt rules within the standards of this article necessary to effect the purposes of this article; and
(3) Establish rules and regulations for the licensure of hospices. (b) Rules promulgated by the department shall include but not be limited to the fol lowing:
(1) The qualifications of professional and ancillary personnel in order to furnish adequate hospice care;
(2) Standards for the organization and quality of patient care; (3) Procedures for maintaining records; (4) Standards for inpatient facilities, to include specifications that the hospice retain primary responsibility for the coordination of inpatient hospice care; (5) Provision for contractual arrangements for professional and ancillary hospice services; and (6) Provisions for the imposition of administrative fines for any violations of any provisions of this article or of department rules or regulations.

The hospice care team shall be responsible for coordination of inpatient, outpatient, and home care aspects of care. (b) Hospice services must meet all applicable definitions provided for in Code Sec tion 31-7-172. (c) A hospice program of care shall not impose the dictates of any value or belief sys tem on its patients and their family units. 31-7-177. Since hospice care is primarily provided at home, licensure shall not be determined solely on the number of inpatient beds needed for service. Inpatient beds under contract to a hospice program may be used by the hospice when needed but may remain otherwise available to the inpatient unit at other times without a change in licensing. 31-7-178. The department shall periodically inspect each hospice for which a license has been issued to ensure that the licensee is providing quality care to its patients; pro vided, however, that a hospice shall be exempt from additional on-site licensure inspec tion if certified in accordance with federal regulations governing hospice. 31-7-179. Where a hospice has obtained a license from the department, there shall be no requirement that the hospice obtain a certificate of need in order to provide any hospice care."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

(b) No program contract existing immediately prior to the effective date of this part shall be renewed or otherwise extended beyond its renewal or expiration date, respec tively, as specified immediately prior to the effective date of this part, unless the pro gram under the renewed or extended contract is approved by the Commissioner under subsection (a) of this Code section. If no such expiration or renewal date is provided in the program contract, the program contract shall be submitted not later than December 31, 1983, to the Commissioner for approval.

All provisions of this Code which are applicable to traffic offenses generally and to violations of Code Section 40-6-391 shall continue to be applicable to the extent that such provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this article.
40-5-68. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Code Section 40-6-391' means Code Section 40-6-391 of the Official Code of

A copy of the uniform traffic citation and complaint form shall be for warded, within 15 days of issue, to the Department of Public Safety. Taking the driver's license as required in this Code section shall not prohibit any law enforcement officer or agency from requiring any cash bond authorized by Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 17. (b) At the time the law enforcement officer takes the driver's license, he shall issue a temporary driving permit to the individual. This temporary driving permit shall be valid until the expiration of 180 days, or until the individual's driving privilege is sus pended or revoked under any provision of this title. The Department of Public Safety, at its sole discretion, may delay the expiration date of the temporary driving permit, but in no event shall this delay extend beyond the date when such individual's driving privi lege is suspended or revoked under any provision of this title. The department shall by rules and regulations establish the conditions under which the expiration of the tempo rary permit may be delayed. (c) (1) If the individual is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall, within 15 days, forward the individual's driver's license and the record of the disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety.

(b) (1) The driver's license of any individual convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391 shall be suspended as follows:
(A) Upon the first conviction, the period of suspension shall be for one year. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be reinstated if the person submits proof of completion of a certified and approved basic alcohol or drug course from an approved driver improvement clinic and pays a restoration fee of $25.00;

Public Safety shall not reinstate the driver's license during any period of suspension imposed under subsection (b) of Code Section 40-5-63. (c) The periods of suspension provided for in this Code section shall begin on the
date the individual is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391. (d) In all cases in which the department may return a license to a driver prior to
the termination of the full period of suspension, the department may require such tests of driving skill and knowledge as it determines to be proper, and the department's dis
cretion shall be guided by the driver's past driving record and performance. (e) The commissioner may, before returning a license to a person prior to the full
period of a suspension, require such person to maintain and present proof of present and future minimum motor vehicle insurance coverage as defined in paragraph (8) of Code

that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant. For the

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1983

1227

purposes of this Code section, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot rea sonably obtain other transportation, and therefore the applicant would be prohibited from:
(1) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his occu pation;
(2) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs; (3) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a student; or (4) Attending under court order any driver education or improvement school approved by the court which entered the judgment of conviction resulting in suspen sion of his driver's license or by the commissioner.

(i) Any person whose permit has been revoked, or who has been refused a permit by the department, may make a request in writing for a hearing to be provided by the department. Such hearing shall be provided by the department within 30 days after the receipt of such request and shall follow the procedures required by Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.' Appeal from such hearing shall be in accordance with said Act. (j) The department may promulgate such rules and regulations as are necessary to implement this Code section.

(a) (1) The legal rate of interest shall be 7 percent per annum simple interest where the rate percent is not established by a written contract. Notwithstanding the provisions of other laws to the contrary, except Code Section 7-4-18, the parties may establish any rate of interest, expressed in simple interest terms as of the date of the evidence of the indebtedness, and charges and any manner of repayment, pre payment, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of this Code section, acceleration, agreed upon in writing by the parties where the principal amount involved is more than $3,000.00 or where the lender or creditor has committed to lend, advance, or forbear with respect to any loan, advance, or forbearance to enforce the collection of more than $3,000.00. Nothing contained in this subsection shall be con strued to prohibit the computation and collection of interest at a variable rate or on a negative amortization basis or on an equity participation basis or on an appreciation basis. (2) Where the principal amount involved is $3,000.00 or less, such rate shall not exceed 16 percent per annum simple interest on any loan, advance, or forbearance to enforce the collection of any sum of money unless the loan, advance, or forbearance to enforce the collection of any sum of money is made pursuant to another law.

Each taxing jurisdiction which has enacted a business license tax

pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section shall assess and collect said tax based upon the information provided in the returns.
(d) The total gross receipts generated in this state by a depository financial institu tion subject to any tax authorized by this Code section shall be allocated among separate taxing jurisdictions as follows:
(1) If a depository financial institution shall have an office or a place of business in more than one municipality, the amount of gross receipts taxable by each munici pality shall be the amount of gross receipts attributable to such offices or places ^f business as of December 31 of the year in which gross receipts are measured; and
(2) If a depository financial institution shall have an office or a place of business in more than one county, the amount of gross receipts taxable by each county shall be the amount of gross receipts attributable to such offices or places of business as of December 31 of the year in which gross receipts are measured; and
(3) In determining the amount of 'gross receipts' attributable to each location, 20 percent of the gross receipts shall be attributable to the parent bank. The remaining 80 percent of gross receipts shall be attributable to branch banks and bank offices, pro rata, with none of the gross receipts attributable to bank facilities or other outlets not considered to be a parent bank, branch bank, or bank office. The terms 'parent bank,' 'branch bank.' and 'bank office' as used in this Code section mean those same terms as defined in Chapter 1 of Title 7^ the 'Financial Institutions Code of Georgia.' If there are fewer than five branch banks or bank offices in addition to the parent bank, the amount of gross receipts attributable to each such parent bank, branch bank, or bank office shall be determined by dividing the total gross receipts by the aggregate number of such outlets. For purposes of this distribution formula only, the term 'bank' also means a savings and loan association. (e) Any tax paid by a depository financial institution pursuant to this Code section and Code Section 48-6-95 shall be credited dollar for dollar against any state corporate income tax liability of such institution for the tax year during which any business and occupation tax authorized by this Code section is paid. Such credit shall be subject to the provisions contained in paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of Code Section 48-7-21. (f) Except as authorized by this Code section, no municipality or county shall levy any form of business license tax, fee, franchise, or occupation tax on any depository financial institution."
Section 9. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 48-6-95, which reads as follows:
"48-6-95. The commissioner may promulgate rules and regulations to require state and national banking associations, federal savings and loan associations, and state build ing and loan associations to file information returns with respect to state income taxes and other forms of taxation.", in its entirety and inserting in its place a new Code section 48-6-95 to read as follows:
"48-6-95. (a) There is imposed a special state occupation tax on each depository financial institution located in this state. The rate of this tax shall be 0.30 percent of the gross receipts, as defined in subsection (b) of Code Section 48-6-93, of the depository financial institution. This tax shall be in addition to any and all other taxes to which such depository financial institution is subject.
(b) Each depository financial institution shall file with the commissioner a return of its gross receipts by March 1 of the year following the year in which such gross receipts are measured. Said return shall be in the manner and in the form prescribed by the commissioner. The tax imposed by this Code section shall be paid to the commissioner at the time of filing the return.
(c) The commissioner shall make an annual report to the Governor and to the chair men of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees of the amount of special state occupation tax on depository financial institutions collected."
Section 10. Said title is further amended by adding new Code Sections 48-6-96 through 48-6-98 to read as follows:

1342

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"48-6-96. No depository financial institution shall be deprived of the benefit of any exemption, deduction, or credit authorized by law as a consequence of its election to file otherwise lawful consolidated returns with its parent organization or any corporate sub sidiaries with respect to any state or local tax levied against such depository financial institution.
48-6-97. Except as otherwise provided by law, credit unions organized under the pro visions of Chapter 1 of Title 7, the 'Financial Institutions Code of Georgia' shall be sub ject to all forms of state and local government taxation authorized by the Congress of the United States for the taxation of federally chartered credit unions on January 1, 1984. It is the intent of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia that credit unions organized under the laws of this state and credit unions organized under the laws of the United States and domiciled within this state be subject to the same degree of taxation whether by the state or any of its political subdivisions in which such credit union main tains a place of business. It is further the intent of the General Assembly that in the event the Congress of the United States should change the manner in which federally chartered credit unions may be taxed by state and local governments, then to the extent that state legislative authority is not preempted by the Congress, state-chartered credit unions and federally chartered credit unions operating in this state shall be taxed to the same extent and in the same manner as state-chartered savings and loan associations operating in this state.
48-6-98. It is the intent of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia that deposi tory financial institutions shall be taxed in the same manner and to the same extent for purposes of state taxation. It is the further intent of the General Assembly of Georgia that depository financial institutions shall be taxed in the same manner and to the same extent by the individual political subdivisions in which they have an office or place of business; provided, however, appropriate distinctions shall be made to recognize differ ences between banks and savings and loan associations arising as a result of some such entities having a mutual rather than a stock corporate form."
Section 11. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 48-7-21, relating to corporate income tax, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 48-7-21 to read as follows:
"48-7-21. (a) Every domestic corporation and every foreign corporation shall pay annually an income tax equivalent to 6 percent of its Georgia taxable net income. Geor gia taxable net income of a corporation shall be the corporation's taxable income from property owned or from business done in this state. A corporation's taxable income from property owned or from business done in this state shall consist of the corporation's tax able income as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, with the adjustments pro vided for in subsection (b) of this Code section and allocated and apportioned as provided in Code Section 48-7-31.
(b) (1) (A) When interest income is derived from obligations of any state or politi cal subdivision except this state and political subdivisions of this state, the interest income shall be added to taxable income to the extent that the interest income is not included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Interest or dividends on obligations of any authority, commission, instrumentality, territory, or possession of the United States which by the laws of the United States are exempt from fed eral income tax but not from state income taxes tax shall also be added to taxable income. (B) There shall be subtracted from taxable income interest or dividends on obli gations of the United States and its territories and possessions or of any authority, commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the extent such interest or dividends are includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the United States. There shall also be subtracted from taxable income any income derived from the authorized activities of a domestic international banking facility operating pursuant to the pro visions of Article 5A of Chapter 1, of Title 7j the 'Domestic International Banking Facility Act' and any income arising from the conduct of a banking business with persons or entities located outside the United States, its territories, or possessions.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1983

1343

Any amount subtracted pursuant to this subparagraph shall be reduced by any expenses directly attributable to the production of the interest or dividend income. (2) There shall be added to taxable income any taxes on, or measured by, net income or net profits paid or accrued within the taxable year imposed by the author ity of the United States or any foreign country, or by any state, territory, county, school district, municipality, or other tax subdivision of any state, territory, or foreign country to the extent such taxes are deducted in determining federal taxable income. (3) No portion of any deductions or losses which occurred in a year in which the taxpayer was not subject to taxation in this state including, but not limited to, net operating losses may be deducted in any tax year. When the federal adjusted gross income or net income of a corporation includes such deductions or losses, an adjust ment deleting them shall be made under rules established by the commissioner. The provisions of this subsection shall not prohibit the carry-over of any deductions or losses including, but not limited to, net operating losses of any taxpayer which were incurred in a year or years in which the taxpayer was subject to methods of taxation in this state other than the corporate income tax. (4) Income, losses, and deductions previously used in computing Georgia taxable income shall not again be used in computing Georgia taxable income. The commis sioner shall provide for needed adjustments by regulation. (5) (A) Any gain not recognized pursuant to Section 337 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 shall be recognized. To the extent that a corporation incurs a Georgia income tax liability by reason of the recognition of the gains, the Georgia income tax liability attributable to the gains shall be allowed as a credit against the Georgia income tax liability of each common stockholder of the corporation in an amount which bears the same ratio to the Georgia income tax liability as the liquidation dis tribution received or receivable by the common stockholder bears to the liquidation distribution received or receivable by all common stockholders. The credit shall be allowable only in the taxable year or years of each stockholder in which the liquida tion distribution is received and shall be limited to the amount of Georgia income tax liability, if any, of the stockholders for such year or years as computed before application of the credit provided by this Code section and before the application of any credits for withholding or estimated tax payments.
(B) A corporation having a net gain which is not recognized for federal income taxation under Section 337 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 but which is added to Georgia taxable income under this chapter shall be allowed a deduction of one-half of the net gain but not more than one-half of the amount which would be treated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as the excess of the net longterm capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss for the year if it were not for Section 337 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
(6) When on the sale or exchange of real or tangible personal property located in this state gain or loss is not recognized because the taxpayer receives or purchases similar property, the nonrecognition shall be allowed only when the property is replaced with property located in this state.
(7) This article shall not be construed to repeal any tax exemptions contained in other laws of this state not referred to in this article. Those exemptions and the exemptions provided for by federal law and treaty shall be deducted on forms pro vided by the commissioner.
(8) All elections made by corporate taxpayers under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 shall also apply under this article except elections involving consolidated corpo rate returns and subchapter 'S' elections which shall be treated as follows:
(A) If two or more corporations file federal income tax returns on a consolidated basis and all of the corporations derive all of their income from sources within this state, the corporations must file consolidated returns for Georgia income tax pur poses. Affiliated corporations which file a consolidated federal income tax return but which derive income from sources outside this state must file separate income tax returns with this state unless they have prior approval or have been requested to file a consolidated return by the department!]

1344

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(B) Subchapter 'S' elections apply only if all stockholders are subject to tax in this state on their portion of the corporate income. If all nonresident stockholders pay the Georgia income tax on their portion of the corporate income, the election shall be allowed. (9) There shall be subtracted from taxable income dividends received by:
(A) A corporation from sources outside the United States as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The amount subtracted under this subparagraph shall be reduced by any expenses directly attributable to the dividend income;
(B) Corporations from affiliated corporations within the United States, when the corporation receiving the dividends is engaged in business in this state and is sub ject to the payment of taxes under the income tax laws of this state, to the extent that the dividends have been included in net income under this Code section. Divi dends from affiliates shall be reduced by any expenses directly attributable to the dividend income. (10) Where a corporation's salary and wage deductions are reduced in computing federal taxable income because the corporation has taken a federal jobs tax credit which required, as a condition to using the federal jobs tax credit, the elimination of salary and wage deductions, the eliminated salary and wage deductions shall be sub tracted from taxable income. (11) There shall be a dollar-for-dollar credit against the state income tax liability of depository financial institutions which shall be equal to the amount of taxes, if any, paid bjf such taxpayers pursuant to Code Section 48-6-93 and Code Section 48-6-95. If the liability of any such institutions under the taxes authorized by Code Section 48-6-93 and Code Section 48-6-95 exceeds the corporate income tax liability of such institution for any year, the amount of any unused credit under this Code section may be credited over a period of five years from the tax year in which the unused credit arose."
Section 12. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 48-7-25, relating to organizations exempted from corporate income tax, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) The following organizations shall be exempt from taxation imposed by Code Section 48-7-21 unless the exemption is denied under subsection (b) or (c) of this Code section:
(1) Those organizations described by Section 501(c), 501(d), 501(e), 664, or 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. Organizations described in this paragraph shall be exempt from taxation for state purposes in the same manner and to the same extent as for federal purposes; and
(2) Insurance companies which pay to the state a tax upon premium income^ {#)--Building aad lea associations and cooperative banks without capital stock when organized and operated fer mutual purposes and without profit; and {4)--Banks and trust companies doing a general banking business including, bat et
United States."
Section 13. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 48-13-71, relating to exemptions from corporate net worth tax, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 48-13-71 to read as follows:
"48-13-71. The following are exempt from the payment of the tax imposed by this article:
(1) Those organizations not organized for pecuniary gain or profit; and (2) Insurance companies which are separately taxed? and. {3)--Banks and banking associations, federal savings ad loan associationa, and building and loan associations organized under the laws ef this state under the laws ef the United States and which are separately taxed."
Section 14. This Act shall become effective January 1, 1984.
Section 15. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to levy a special 1 percent retail sales and use tax for educational purposes; to provide for distribution of the proceeds of such tax; to provide for administrative costs of this tax; to provide for a reduction in the annual school tax millage on certain classes of property; to provide for all other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article VIII, Section VI of the Constitution is amended by adding two new paragraphs at the end thereof, to be designated Paragraph IV and Paragraph V respectively, to read as follows:
"Paragraph IV. Special state sales and use tax for education, (a) There is levied beginning January 1, 1985, a special retail sales and use tax for educational pur poses at the rate of 1 percent. The tax imposed by this Paragraph shall correspond, so far as practicable, except as to rate, with the retail sales and use tax levied by Article 1 of Chapter 8 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated or its successor law, as now or hereafter amended. The General Assembly may provide by law a bracket ing system for the collection of the tax levied by this Paragraph. Items and transactions which are not subject to said retail sales and use tax shall not be subject to the 1 per cent retail sales and use tax levied by this Paragraph.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article III, Section IX, Paragraph VI, an amount equal to all money received by the state in each state fiscal year from the tax levied by this Paragraph, less the amount of refunds, rebates, collection costs, and administrative costs authorized by this Paragraph or by law, is appropriated to the State Department of Education, or its successor agency, for each following state fiscal year.
(2) (A) An amount of the funds appropriated to the State Department of Educa tion by this Paragraph in each year shall be allocated to each public school system in this state in the same ratio as the ratio of the total enrollment of the public and accredited nonpublic schools in the school district bears to the total enrollment of public and accredited nonpublic schools in the state as a whole, except that, in those instances where pupils residing in one district attend schools located within the limits of another district, the portion of the allocation representing such pupils which otherwise would have been received by the district within the limits of which the pupils are in attendance shall be allotted to the district in which the pupils reside. For the purposes of this Paragraph, a nonpublic school is 'accredited' if the school is an exempt organization pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or its successor provision of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
(B) As used in this subparagraph, the term 'public and accredited nonpublic schools' does not include postsecondary schools, colleges, or institutions. (3) The money appropriated by this Paragraph shall be used for educational pur poses and shall be available for the purposes of this Paragraph regardless of whether the General Assembly enacts a general appropriations Act or not, but the General Assembly may appropriate funds for the purposes of this Paragraph in excess of the amount of money appropriated by this Paragraph. The expenditure of the money

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

appropriated by this Paragraph shall be subject to all the rules, regulations, and restrictions imposed on the expenditure of appropriations by provisions of the Consti tution and laws of this state, unless such provisions are in conflict with the provisions of this Paragraph, except that the money appropriated by this Paragraph shall not be subject to budgetary reduction. (c) One percent of all money derived from the retail sales and use tax levied in this Paragraph shall be paid into the general fund of the state to defray the costs of the administration of the tax levied by this Paragraph. (d) The General Assembly may provide by law for the retention by the Fiscal Divi sion of the Department of Administrative Services or other fiscal agent of the state of funds which otherwise would be distributed to a school district pursuant to this Para graph when the funds are deemed to be surplus and in excess of the legitimate expenses of the school district for educational purposes in that fiscal year. The identification and use of such funds shall be determined as provided by law. Paragraph V. Reduction of millage: benefit of sales tax to be shown on tax bill, (a) Beginning January 1, 1986, the annual school tax mill rate for each school dis trict on property owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their prop erty for ad valorem taxation to the state revenue commissioner or his successor shall be adjusted as provided in this Paragraph. (b) The mill rate necessary to produce revenue from taxation of tangible property in the school district which, when combined with other revenues reasonably expected to be received by the school district during the year other than revenues derived from the tax imposed pursuant to Paragraph IV of this section, would provide revenues sufficient to defray the expenses of the school district for the year shall be computed. (c) The mill rate ascertained as provided in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph shall then be reduced by a mill rate which, if levied against the tangible property within the school district owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their prop erty for ad valorem taxation to the state revenue commissioner or his successor, would produce an amount equal to the proceeds of the tax levied under Paragraph IV of this section which were received by the school district during the preceding year. The mill rate produced by such reduction shall then be certified to the authority levying the tax as the annual school tax levy for the school district for property owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the state revenue commissioner or his successor, except that the mill rate so certified to the authority levying the tax shall not exceed a mill rate which is the difference between the lawful mill rate limitation in effect in the school district and the mill rate represent ing the proceeds of the sales tax for educational purposes received by the school district during the previous year. (d) The mill rate ascertained as provided in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph, without the reduction provided in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph, shall be certified to the authority levying the tax as the annual school tax levy for the school district for property owned by taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the state revenue commissioner or his successor. (e) Each bill for ad valorem school taxes on property owned by taxpayers other than taxpayers required to return their property for ad valorem taxation to the state revenue commissioner or his successor shall show as a credit against school taxes, which other wise would have been levied in the district on such property to enable the district to raise the total of its revenues from the school tax and the sales tax for educational pur poses, the amount of benefit to the taxpayer as a result of the sales tax levied by Para graph IV of this section."
Section 2. The above proposed amendment to the Constitution shall be published and submitted as provided in Article X, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution.
The ballot submitting the above proposed amendment shall have written or printed thereon the following:

the judge to whom the administrative duties of a court have been assigned. (2) 'Judge' includes Justices, judges, senior judges, magistrates, and every other
such judicial office of whatever name existing or created. (b) The chief judge of any court of this state may make a written request for assist ance to the chief judge of any other court, a senior judge of the superior court, a retired judge, or a judge emeritus of any court. The request by the chief judge may be made if one of the following circumstances arise:
(1) A judge of the requesting court is disqualified for any cause from presiding in any matter pending before the court;
(2) A judge of the requesting court is unable to preside because of disability, ill ness, or absence; or
(3) A majority of the judges of the requesting court determines that the business of the court requires the temporary assistance of an additional judge or additional judges. (c) The written request for judicial assistance shall identify the chief judge to whom the request is directed and the court, the county, the time period, and, if applicable, the specific case or cases for which the assistance is sought. A chief judge of a requesting court or assisting court shall be presumed to act with the consent of all judges of the court. However, if a judge of a court shall insist, all judges of that court shall vote upon whether to ratify the action taken by the chief judge under this Code section. (d) If the chief judge is unable because of disability, illness, or absence to make a request for assistance, a majority of the judges of the court may make such a request for him. If a court is served by only one judge who, himself, is unable to make a request because of disability, illness, or absence, or when the judge or judges of the court fail to procure assistance in the event of the absence, illness, disability, or disqualification of one of the judges, and it is satisfactorily made to appear to the Governor that any regular or special term of any court will not be held or continued in session because of such failure to procure assistance, the Governor shall name and assign a judge to hold the regular or special term of such court. However, no judge shall be named or assigned to hold court when the time fixed by law for holding the term of court conflicts with the holding of any regular or special term already called by him in his own court.
(e) The chief judge of the court receiving a request for assistance shall designate a judge to preside as requested. The designated judge may consent to preside in the requesting court provided he is otherwise qualified to serve as a judge in the requesting court. The qualifications of residency within a particular political or geographic subdivi sion of the state shall not apply to a designated judge. The designation and its accept ance or rejection shall be made in writing and delivered to the judge requesting assistance.
(f) A copy of each request, designation, and acceptance or refusal of assistance shall be filed and recorded on the minutes of the clerk of the court requesting assistance. Any amendment to the request or extension of the assistance shall be written, filed, and recorded as is the original request and the acceptance of assistance.
(g) A judge rendering assistance in accordance with this Code section shall discharge all the duties and shall exercise all of the powers and authority of a judge of the court in which he is presiding.
(h) The governing authority responsible for funding the operation of the requesting court shall bear the expenses of the judge rendering assistance in accordance with this Code section, except that such judges presiding in the appellate or superior courts in accordance with this Code section shall be compensated by state funds appropriated or otherwise available for the operation of these courts.
(i) Senior judges of the superior courts shall receive the amount of compensation and payment for expenses as provided by subsection (d) of Code Section 47-8-64. All other judges rendering assistance in accordance with this Code section shall be entitled to actual travel and lodging expenses, but shall not be entitled to any additional compensa tion for this assistance.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1983

1395

(j) The court reporter, support personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies neces sary to perform the duties requested shall be provided to any judge rendering assistance in accordance with this Code section by the requesting court, unless otherwise agreed.
(k) This Code section shall be supplementary to other laws relating to the authoriza tion of replacement judges."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

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

(d) In any proceeding brought by any materialman, by any mechanic, by any laborer, by any subcontractor, or by any mechanic of any sort employed by any subcontractor or by any materialmen furnishing material to any subcontractor, or by any laborer fur nishing labor to any subcontractor, to enforce such a lien, the contractor having a direct contractual relationship with the subcontractor shall not be a necessary party; but he may be made a party. In any proceedings brought by any mechanic employed by any
subcontractor, by any materialmen furnishing material to any subcontractor, or by any

1398

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

laborer furnishing labor to any subcontractor, the subcontractor shall not be a necessary party; but he may be made a party.

(e) In no event shall the aggregate amount of liens set up by Code Section 44-14-361 exceed the contract price of the improvements made or services performed.
44-14-361.2. (a) The special lien specified in subsection (a) of Code Section 44-14-361 shall be dissolved if the owner, purchaser from owner, or lender providing con struction or purchase money shows that:

(B) There was not of record at the time of final payment of the contract price a valid preliminary notice of lien rights or claim of lien which had not been previ ously canceled, dissolved, or expired, (b) As used in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Code section, the term: (1) 'Person other than the owner' shall not include a subcontractor. (2) 'Final payment' shall include payment of the balance of the contract price to an escrow agent. 44-14-361.3. (a) Prior to filing a claim of lien, a person having a lien under para graphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a) of Code Section 44-14-361 may at such person's option file a preliminary notice of lien rights.

The lien claimant may rely on the building permit issued on the property for the name of the contractor.
(c) The clerk of each superior court shall maintain within the records of that office a record separate from all other real estate records in which preliminary notices speci fied in subsection (a) of this Code section and affidavits specified in subsection (c) of Code Section 44-14-361.4 shall be filed. Each such notice and affidavit shall be indexed under the name of the owner as contained in the preliminary notice. The clerk shall col lect a filing fee of $5.00 for the filing of each preliminary notice.
(d) A person having a lien under paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a) of Code Section 44-14-361 may enforce the lien without filing a preliminary notice of lien.
44-14-361.4. (a) A preliminary notice of lien rights filed pursuant to Code Section 44-14-361.3 shall be dissolved if it is canceled and a preliminary notice also expires and is dissolved under any of the following conditions:
(1) The lien has been waived in writing by the lien claimant; or
(2) The time has expired for filing the claim of lien as required in Code Section 44-14-361.1; or

In order to obtain cancellation, the person who mailed the demand or his attorney shall file with the clerk of superior court a copy of the demand and his or her affidavit that the demand was mailed as provided in paragraph (3) or (4) of subsection (a) of this Code section and that ten days have elapsed since said date of mailing without the filing of a claim of lien by the potential lien claimant. Upon such filing, the clerk of superior court shall cancel of record the preliminary notice of lien rights. 44-14-362. (a) Upon final payment after all labor, services, or materials have been furnished, a person who has filed a preliminary notice of lien rights shall either deliver a cancellation of the preliminary notice of lien rights at the time of final payment or cause the notice to be canceled of record within ten days after final payment.

The bond shall be in double the amount claimed under that lien and shall be either a bond with good security approved by the clerk of the court or a cash bond, except in cases involving a lien against residential property, in which event the bond shall be in the amount claimed under the lien. Upon the filing of the bond provided for in this Code section, the real estate shall be discharged from the lien. With respect to property bonds, the clerk shall not accept any real property bond unless the real prop erty is scheduled in an affidavit attached thereto setting forth a description of the prop erty and indicating the record owner thereof, including any liens and encumbrances and amounts thereof, the market value, and the value of the sureties' interest therein, which affidavit shall be executed by the owner or owners of the interest; the bond and affidavit shall be recorded in the same manner and at the same cost as other deeds of real prop erty. So long as the bond exists, it shall constitute a lien against the property described in the attached affidavit.
(b) The clerk of the superior court shall have the right to rely upon the amount specified in the claim of lien in determining the sufficiency of any bond to discharge under this Code section. The failure to specify both the amount claimed due under the lien and the date said claim was due shall result in such lien not constituting notice for any purposes."

In declaring for such debt or claim, the claimant of the lien shall set forth his lien and the premise on which he claims it; and, if the lien is allowed, the verdict of the jury, if tried by a jury, or a decision of the court, if the parties consent to trial by the court without a jury, shall set it forth and the judgment and execution shall be awarded accordingly. All such executions shall, however, be subject to all prior encum brances."
Section 4. An Act entitled "An Act to amend Part 3 of Article 8 of Chapter 14 of Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to mechanics' and materialmen's liens, so as to provide for preliminary notices of liens; to provide for the filing of such liens with the clerk of the superior court; to change the conditions under which liens may be enforced and dissolved; to amend Code Section 44-14-530, relating to foreclosure of liens on realty, so as to provide for jury verdicts and court decisions and their effect; to provide for all related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.", which Act was approved April 14, 1982, and was to become effec tive April 1, 1983 (Ga. L. 1982, p. 1144) is repealed in its entirety.
Section 5. Sections 1, 2, and 3 of this Act shall become effective July 1, 1983; and the other provisions of this Act shall become effective upon approval of this Act by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia, relating to penal institutions of the state and counties, is amended by striking Code Section 42-4-7, relating to records of inmates, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 42-4-7 to read as follows:
"42-4-7. (a) The sheriff shall keep, in a well-bound book provided for that purpose, a record of all persons committed to the jail of the county of which he is sheriff. This record shall contain the name of the person committed, his age, sex, race, under what process he was committed and from what court the process issued, the crime with which he was charged, the date of his commitment to jail, the day of his discharge, under what order he was discharged, and the court from which the order issued. This book shall be subject to examination by any person at any time. The sheriff shall keep the book on file in his office.
(b) (1) The sheriff, chief jailer, warden, or other officer designated by the county as custodian of inmates confined as county inmates as provided in subsection (a) of Code Section 17-10-3 .shall award good-time allowances to such inmates based on insti tutional behavior. Good-time allowances shall not be awarded which exceed one-half of the period of confinement imposed.
(2) Upon receipt of an inmate sentenced to confinement as a county inmate, the custodian of such inmate shall compute the maximum good-time allowance that such

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

inmate may earn. The custodian may make appropriate deductions from such maxi mum earnable good-time allowance based on the institutional behavior of such inmate while in custody as a county inmate.
(3) An inmate sentenced to confinement as a county inmate shall be released at the expiration of his sentence less the time deducted for good-time allowances. (c) Commencing July 1^ 1983, subsection (b) of this Code section, which provides for good-time allowances to be awarded to inmates sentenced to confinement as county inmates as provided in subsection (a) of Code Section 17-10-3, shall apply to all such inmates in confinement on June 30, 1983, and all inmates who are subsequently sen tenced to confinements as county inmates. Conversion of the computation of the sen tences of county inmates in confinement on June 30, 1983, from earned-time governed sentences to good-time governed sentences shall be made by the sheriff or other custo dian of such inmates."
Section 2. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 42-5-100, relating to the awarding of earned-time allowances to inmates, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 42-5-100 to read as follows:
"42-5-100. (a) The board shall formulate and promulgate rules and regulations pro viding for earned-time allowances to be awarded to inmates based upon the performance of the inmates, provided that earned-time allowances shall not be awarded to inmates sentenced to life imprisonment. The rules and regulations shall not provide for earnedtime allowances exceeding one-half of the period of confinement imposed by the court. The rules and regulations shall differentiate between habitual offenders and other offenders for the purposes of awarding earned time. As used in this Code section, the term 'habitual offender' means any felony offender sentenced to or serving in custody of the department a third or subsequent felony incarceration in the state penal system since January 1, 1970; provided, however, that the provisions of this Code section relat ing to habitual offenders shall only apply to those felony offenders whose third or subse quent felony offense was committed after April 10, 1980. Additional sentences imposed on an offender during service of another sentence will be considered as the same incar ceration.
(b) The wardens or superintendents of the various county or state correctional insti tutions within the state shall immediately notify the department, in writing, of any pun ishment imposed or other disciplinary action taken against any inmate under such warden's or superintendent's custody. The report shall be on forms prescribed and fur nished by the department and shall show, among other things, the detail assignment and behavior record of the inmate. From the records so furnished, the commissioner or his assistants may suspend the inmate from receiving earned time for a specified period and may forfeit up to one-half the earned-time allowances where the disciplinary action involves a violation of correctional rules and regulations or forfeit all or any part of the earned-time allowances where the violation is a crime punishable by law.
(c) An inmate shall be released at the expiration of his term of sentence less the time earned as earned-time allowances,
^d)--Persons convicted ef- misdemeanor offcnacs haH eeie cnrncd-timc allowances
shall apply te inmates confined as county inmates as provided in paragraph 4i) f sbseetioft {a} ef- Code Section 17-10-3. Computation ef- thfe earned-time allowance shaH be made by the sheriff ef-the county ef the chief jaiteft warden, GT -ether -of&eet designated by the county as custodian of saeh inmates."
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 42-5-101, relating to the awarding of earned-time allowances to certain inmates, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 42-5-101 to read as follows:
"42-5-101. {a} Commencing September 1, 1978, Code Section 42-5-100, which pro vides for earned-time allowances to be awarded to inmates based upon the performance of the inmate, shall apply to those persons sentenced to the state penal system prior to July 1, 1976, other than those sentenced to life imprisonment or death, such application being deemed beneficial to the sentenced person by shortening the projected period of

incarceration. The commissioner shall make a conversion of the computation of the sen tences of those persons sentenced to the state penal system prior to July 1, 1976, other than those sentenced to life imprisonment or death, by comparing the projected release date of each of such persons computed pursuant to Ga. L. 1956, p. 161, Section 24, prior to its amendment by Ga. L. 1976, p. 949, Section 1, which granted statutory good time and extra good time allowances, giving appropriate credit or deductions for statutory good time, extra good time, and forfeitures of good time and extra good time unrestored as of September 1, 1978, with a projected release date for each such person computed from the date of sentencing pursuant to Code Section 42-5-100 and the rules and regula tions in force as of September 1, 1978, formulated and promulgated by the board by authority of Code Section 42-5-100, providing for earned-time allowances to be awarded to inmates, with forfeitures of good time and extra good time unrestored as of Septem ber 1, 1978, being treated in accordance with the earned-time rules and regulations con cerning forfeited time. If the projected release date computed under the earned-time rules and regulations is earlier in time for a particular person sentenced prior to July 1, 1976, such projected earned-time release date shall be adopted by the commissioner as the projected release date for that person. If the projected release date computed under the earned-time rules and regulations is later in time for a particular person sen tenced prior to July 1, 1976, the commissioner shall grant the person sufficient addi tional earned-time allowances so as to make that person's projected earned-time release date the same as the projected release date computed under Ga. L. 1956, p. 161, Section 24, prior to its amendment by Ga. L. 1976, p. 949, Section 1, which granted statutory good time and extra good time, and such date shall be adopted by the commissioner as the projected earned-time release date for that person. The commissioner shall accom plish administrative processing of the conversion, as of September 1, 1978, of the compu tation of the sentences of persons sentenced prior to July 1, 1976, other than those sentenced to life imprisonment or death, from good-time and extra good-time governed sentences to earned-time governed sentences in the following order:
(1) If conversion will foreseeably produce an immediate benefit to the person within 90 days from September 1, 1978, by September 30, 1978;
(2) If conversion will foreseeably produce an immediate benefit to the person more than 90 days but less than 180 days from September 1, 1978, by October 31, 1978; and
(3) If conversion will foreseeably produce an immediate benefit to the person more than 180 days from September 1, 1978, by November 30, 1978. W--Commencing September -, W78; ede Seetkm 42-6-100, which provides -fef carncd-time allowances te be awarded te inmates based upon the performance ef- the

Section 4. Said title is further amended by adding at the end of Article 5 of Chapter 5 of said title, relating to awarding of earned-time allowances to inmates, a new Code Sec tion 42-5-102 to read as follows:
"42-5-102. (a) The earned-time allowances provided for by Code Sections 42-5-100 and 42-5-101 shall not apply to persons who commit crimes on or after January 1, 1984, and who are subsequently convicted and sentenced to confinement under the jurisdiction of the Board of Offender Rehabilitation.
(b) The earned-time allowances provided for by Code Sections 42-5-100 and 42-5-101 are repealed effective January 1, 1984.
(c) Those persons in the custody of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, to include those whose sentences have been probated or suspended as of December 31,

Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL

To amend Code Section 16-11-129 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to licenses to carry certain firearms, so as to change the period for which such licenses are valid; to provide that the judge of the probate court may require an applicant for such license to sign a waiver authorizing certain hospitals to verify hospitalization of the appli cant; to provide that the fingerprints of initial applicants shall be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the purpose of verifying eligibility; to provide for payment of certain fees; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Code Section 16-11-129 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating

to licenses to carry certain firearms, is amended by striking said Code section in its

entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 16-11-129 to read as follows:

,.

"16-11-129. (a) The judge of the probate court of each county may, on application

j; under oath and on payment of a fee of $15.00, issue a license valid for a period of three

|, five years to residents of that county authorizing them to carry any pistol or revolver.

'' Applicants shall submit the application for a license to the judge of the probate court

' on forms prescribed and furnished free of charge to persons wishing to apply for the

; license. Forms shall be designed to elicit information from the applicant pertinent to his

eligibility under this Code section but shall not require nonpertinent or irrelevant data

such as serial numbers or other identification capable of being used as a de facto regis

tration of firearms owned by the applicant. The Department of Public Safety shall fur

nish application forms and license forms required by this Code section. The forms shall

be furnished to each judge of each probate court within the state at no cost.

(b) No license shall be granted to:

(1) Any person under 21 years of age;

:

(2) Any person who is a fugitive from justice or against whom proceedings are

pending for any felony, forcible misdemeanor, or violation of Code Section 16-11-126,

16-11-127, or 16-11-128 until such time as the proceedings are adjudicated;

(3) Any person who has been convicted of a forcible felony and has not been free

of all restraint or supervision in connection therewith for at least ten years or any per

son who has been convicted of a forcible misdemeanor or a nonforcible felony and has

not been free of all restraint or supervision in connection therewith for at least five

years or any person who has been convicted of a violation of Code Section 16-11-126,

16-11-127, or 16-11-128 and has not been free of all restraint or supervision in connec

tion therewith for at least three years, immediately preceding the date of the applica

tion; or

(4) Any individual who has been hospitalized as an inpatient in any mental hospi

tal or alcohol or drug treatment center within five years of the date of his application.

The probate judge may require the applicant to sign a waiver authorizing such mental

hospital or treatment center to verify such hospitalization and authorizing the superin

tendent of such facility to make to the judge a recommendation regarding whether a

license to carry a pistol or revolver should be issued. It shall be at the discretion of

the probate judge, considering the circumstances surrounding the hospitalization and

the recommendation of the superintendent of the hospital or treatment center where

the individual was a patient, to issue the license.

(c) (1) Following completion of the application the judge of the probate court shall

require the applicant to proceed to an appropriate law enforcement agency in the

1498

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

county with the completed application. The appropriate local law enforcement agency in each county shall then make two sets of classifiable fingerprints of the applicant for a license to carry a pistol or revolver, place the fingerprint required by subsection (f) of this Code section on a blank license form which has been furnished to the law enforcement agency by the judge of the probate court, and place the name of the applicant on the blank license form. The law enforcement agency shall be entitled to a fee of $5.00 from the applicant for its services in connection with the application.
(2) In the case of each applicant who is applying for a license under this Code sec tion for the first time, the judge of the probate court shall direct the law enforcement agency to transmit one set of the applicant's fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a search of bureau records and an appropriate report. In such cases, the applicant shall submit an additional fee of not more than $12.00, payable in such form as the judge may direct, to cover the cost of the records search.
(d) Each law enforcement agency, upon receiving such applications and obtaining such fingerprints, shall promptly conduct a thorough search of its records and records to which it has access; and shall notify the judge of the probate court within 50 days, by telephone and in writing, of any findings relating to the applicant which may bear on his eligibility for a license under the terms of this Code section. When no derogatory information is found on the applicant bearing on his eligibility to obtain a license, a report shall not be required. The law enforcement agency shall return the application and the blank license form with the fingerprint thereon directly to the judge of the pro bate court within such time period. Not later than 60 days after the date of the applica tion the judge of the probate court shall issue the applicant a license to carry any pistol or revolver if no facts establishing ineligibility have been reported and if the judge determines the applicant has met all the qualifications, is of good moral character, and has complied with all the requirements contained herein.
(e) If, at any time during the period for which the license was issued, the judge of the probate court of the county in which the license was issued shall learn or have brought to his attention in any manner any reasonable ground to believe the licensee is not eligible to retain the license, the judge may, after notice and hearing, revoke the license of the person upon adjudication of falsification of application, mental incompetency, chronic alcohol or narcotic usage, conviction of any felony or forcible misde meanor, or for violation of Code Section 16-11-126, 16-11-127, or 16-11-128. It shall be unlawful for any person to possess a license which has been revoked, and any person found in possession of any such revoked license, except in the performance of his official duties, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It shall be required that any license holder under this Code section have in his possession his valid license whenever he is carrying a pistol or revolver under the authority granted by this Code section, and his failure to do so shall be prima-facie evidence of a violation of Code Section 16-11-128. Loss of any license issued in accordance with this Code section or damage to the license in any man ner which shall render it illegible shall be reported to the judge of the probate court of the county in which it was issued within 48 hours of the time the loss or damage becomes known to the license holder. The judge of the probate court shall thereupon issue a replacement for and shall take custody of and destroy a damaged license; and in any case in which a license has been lost, he shall issue a cancellation order and notify by telephone and in writing each of the law enforcement agencies whose records were checked before issuance of the original license. A fee of $3.00 shall be charged by the judge for such services.
(f) Licenses issued as prescribed in this Code section shall be printed on durable but lightweight card stock, and the completed card shall be laminated in plastic to improve its wearing qualities and to inhibit alterations. Measurements shall be 3 1A inches long, and 2 Vt inches wide. Each shall be serially numbered within the county of issuance and shall bear the full name, actual residence address, birth date, weight, height, color of eyes, sex, and a clear print of the right index finger of the licensee. If the right index fingerprint cannot be secured for any reason, the print of another finger may be used but shall be marked to identify the finger from which the print is taken. The license
shall show the date of issuance, the expiration date, the probate court in which issued,

'fi

>; and shall be signed by the licensee and bear the signature or facsimile thereof of the | judge. The seal of the court shall be placed on the face before the license is laminated. f. The reverse side of the license shall have imprinted thereon in its entirety Code Section ; 16-11-127.
(g) A person who deliberately alters or counterfeits such a license card commits a fel ony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment for a period of not less than one nor more than five years.
(h) Any person who has served as a law enforcement officer for at least ten of the 12 years immediately preceding the retirement of such person as a law enforcement offi cer shall be entitled to be issued a license as provided for in this Code section without the payment of any of the fees provided for in this Code section. Such person must com ply with all the other provisions of this Code section relative to the issuance of such licenses. As used in this subsection, the term 'law enforcement officer' means any peace officer who is employed by the State of Georgia or any political subdivision thereof and who is required by the terms of his employment, whether by election or appointment, to give his full time to the preservation of public order or the protection of life and property or the prevention of crime. Such term shall include sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and conservation rangers.
(i) (1) Any person who holds a three-year five-year license to carry a pistol or revolver may, at the time he applies for a renewal of the three-yea? five-year license, also apply for a temporary renewal license if less than 90 days remain before expira tion of the three-year five-year license he then holds or if his previous throe year fiveyear license has expired within the last 30 days.
(2) Unless the judge of the probate court knows or is made aware of any fact which would make the applicant ineligible for a three-year five-year renewal license, the judge shall at the time of application issue a temporary renewal license to the applicant.
(3) Such a temporary renewal license shall be in the form of a paper receipt indi cating the date on which the court received the renewal application and shall show the name, address, sex, age, and race of the applicant and that the temporary renewal license expires 90 days from the date of issue.
(4) During its period of validity the temporary renewal permit, if carried on or about the holder's person together with the holder's previous three-year five-year license, shall be valid in the same manner and for the same purposes as a three-year five-year license.
(5) A $1.00 fee shall be charged by the probate court for issuance of a temporary renewal license.
(6) A temporary renewal license may be revoked in the same manner as a threcyear five-year license."

committee, office, or instrumentality of the State of Georgia but shall not mean a political subdivision of the State of Georgia.
(2) 'Business' means any corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, enterprise, franchise, association, organization, self-employed individual, trust, or other legal entity.
(3) 'Employee' means any person who, pursuant to a written or oral contract, is employed by an agency.
(4) 'Family' means spouse and dependents.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1983

1515

(5) 'Full-time' means 30 hours of work for the state per week for more than 26 weeks per calendar year.
(6) 'Limited powers' means those powers other than state-wide powers. (7) 'Part-time' means any amount of work other than full-time work. (8) 'Person' means any person, corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, enterprise, franchise, association, organization, or other legal entity. (9) 'Public official' means any person elected to a state office and means any per son appointed to a state office where in the conduct of such office the person so appointed has administrative and discretionary authority to receive and expend public funds and to perform certain functions concerning the public which are assigned to him by law. (10) 'State-wide powers' means those powers exercised by public officials which affect and influence all of state government. Public officials who exercise such powers include but are not limited to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, members of the General Assembly, Justices of the Supreme Court, Judges of the Court of Appeals, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the state auditor, the commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services, the commissioner of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration and members of the State Personnel Board, the director of the Office of Planning and Budget, judges of the superior courts, and district attor neys.

(12) 'Transact business' means to buy, sell, or lease any personal property, real property, or services on behalf of oneself or on behalf of any third party as an agent, broker, dealer, or representative.
45-10-21. (a) It is essential to the proper operation of democratic government that public officials be independent and impartial, that governmental decisions and policy be made in the proper channels of the governmental structure, that public office not be used for private gain other than the remuneration provided by law, and that there be public confidence in the integrity of government. The attainment of one or more of these ends is impaired whenever there exists a conflict between the private interests of an elected official or a government employee and his duties as such. The public interest, therefore, requires that the law protect against such conflicts of interest and establish appropriate ethical standards with respect to the conduct of elected officials and govern ment employees in situations where conflicts exist.
(b) It is also essential to the proper operation of government that those best quali fied be encouraged to serve the government. Accordingly, legal safeguards against con flicts of interest must be so designed as not unnecessarily or unreasonably to impede the recruitment and retention by the government of those men and women who are best qualified to serve it. An essential principle underlying the staffing of our government structure is that its elected officials and employees should not be denied the opportu nity, available to all other citizens, to acquire and retain private economic and other interests, except where conflicts with the responsibility of such elected officials and employees to the public cannot be avoided.
(c) The General Assembly declares that the operation of responsible democratic gov ernment requires that the fullest opportunity be afforded to the people to petition their government for the redress of grievances and to express freely to individual members of the General Assembly, to committees of the General Assembly, and to officials of the executive branch their opinions on legislation, on pending executive actions, and on cur rent issues and that, to preserve and maintain the integrity of the legislative and admin istrative processes, it is necessary that the identity, expenditures, and activities of certain persons who engage in efforts to persuade members of the General Assembly or the executive branch to take specific actions, either by direct communication to such officials, or by solicitation of others to engage in such efforts, be publicly and regularly disclosed. The provisions of this article shall be liberally construed to promote complete disclosure of such information so as to assure that the public interest will be fully pro tected.

1516

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) After all outstanding bonds or obligations of the authority issued to pay the cost of the project or any part thereof have been paid or satisfied by payment redemption and retirement, or otherwise, all revenues from the project in excess of those necessary to maintain, operate, and manage such project (including extensions, renewals, and addi tions thereto), unless otherwise allocated or pledged as provided in this Code section, shall be paid to the state treasury and become a part of the general funds of the state.
12-3-462. The authority shall have power and is authorized at one time, or from time to time, to issue negotiable bonds in a sum not to exceed $15 million in principal amount outstanding at any one time, for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of the project, including the acquisition of the property authorized by paragraph (2) of Code Section 12-3-456 to be acquired by the authority. The authority shall also have the power to adopt all necessary and appropriate resolutions to provide for the issuance of such negotiable bonds.
12-3-463. (a) All bonds of the authority shall be sold at public competitive bidding at a price of not less than par plus accrued interest to date of delivery, provided that the authority may obligate itself to deliver any given issue of bonds to the purchasers thereof within any reasonable period of time after the sale and may pay as a penalty for delay in such delivery such reasonable sums as may be agreed upon in advance in writing with the purchasers. All bonds of the authority shall be advertised and offered prior to the fixing of the interest rates thereon; and bids thereon shall be competitive as to the interest rate offered by each bidder, provided that as to any issue of bonds the authority may make rules limiting the number of divisions into which the bonds of various maturity dates may be divided and the number and percentage spreads of the different interest rates which may be bid to apply to such divisions of bonds. The authority may require reasonable security for the performance of the contract of pur chase of any successful bidder at any public competitive bidding.
(b) Bonds shall be dated, shall bear interest determined as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section, and shall be payable as to both principal and interest in such manner as may be determined by the authority. The principal of and interest on such bonds shall be payable solely from the special fund provided in Code Section 12-3-474 for such payment.
(c) Bonds shall mature not more than 25 years from the date of such bonds and may be made redeemable before maturity at the option of the authority at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the authority in the res olution providing for the issuance of bonds.
12-3-464. The authority shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of the principal and interest thereon, 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 provi sion may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone or as to both principal and interest.
12-3-465. All bonds shall be signed by the chairman of the authority, shall be attested by the secretary thereof, and shall bear the official seal of the authority. Any coupons attached thereto shall bear the signature of the chairman of the authority and may, if the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds so provides, be attested by the secretary of the authority. Any coupon may bear the facsimile signature of such per sons, 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 autho rized to 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 the delivery of such bonds, such.signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until such delivery.
12-3-466. All bonds issued under this part shall have and are declared to have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the negotiable instruments laws

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1983

1533

of this state. Such bonds and the income thereof shall be exempt from all taxation within the state.
12-3-467. The proceeds of bonds shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the project and shall be disbursed upon requisition or order of the chairman of the authority or its duly bonded agents under such restrictions, if any, as the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or the trust indentures may provide. If the pro ceeds of such bonds, by error of calculation or otherwise, shall be less than the cost of the project, then unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of such deficit. These additional bonds, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, shall be deemed to be of the same issue and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without preference or priority of the bonds first issued for the same purpose. If the pro ceeds of the bonds of any issue shall exceed the amount required for the purpose for which such bonds were issued, all surplus shall be paid into the sinking fund provided in Code Section 12-3-474 for the payment of principal and interest of such bonds.
12-3-468. Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the authority may, under like restrictions, issue interim receipts, interim certificates, or temporary bonds, with or with out coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter.
12-3-469. The authority may provide for the replacement of any bond which becomes mutilated or is destroyed or lost.
12-3-470. Resolutions for the issuance of bonds may be adopted 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 part.

Any such resolution may be passed at any regular, special, or adjourned meeting of the authority by a majority of its members.
12-3-471. Bonds issued under this part shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of the State of Georgia or a pledge of the credit of the state. Such bonds shall be payable solely from the fund provided for in Code Section 12-3-474; and the issuance of such bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the state to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatsoever therefor or to make any appropriation for their pay ment. All such bonds shall contain recitals on their face covering substantially the fore going provisions of this Code section.
12-3-472. (a) In the discretion of the authority, any issue of 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.
(b) Resolutions providing for the issuance of bonds and trust indentures may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders, including the right to the appointment of a receiver for the project upon the default of
any principal or interest payment upon the bonds thereof, and including the right of any receiver or indenture trustee to enforce collections of rents, revenues, or other charges
for the use of the project necessary to pay all costs of operation, the principal and inter est on the issue, the cost of collection, and all things reasonably necessary to accomplish
the collection of such sums, in the event of any default of the authority. (c) Such resolutions or trust indentures may include covenants setting forth the
duties of the authority in relation to the acquisition of the property, the construction
of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair, and insurance of the project, and the custody, safeguarding, and application of all moneys and may also contain provisions
concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional bonds may be issued. An inden ture may also set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee
and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition, an indenture
may contain such other provisions as the authority may deem advisable, reasonable, and proper for the security of the bondholders.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

j

(d) It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of

such securities as may be required by the authority.

(e) All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated either

as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation, and repair of the project affected by

such indenture or as an administrative expense of the authority.

j

12-3-473. The authority shall, in the resolution providing for issuance of 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 expressed in

this part, subject to such regulations as this part and such resolution or trust indenture

may provide.

12-3-474. (a) The revenues, rents, and earnings derived from the project may be

pledged by the authority to the payment of principal and interest on bonds of the

authority as any resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or any trust instru

ment may provide. Such funds so pledged, from whatever source received, may include

funds received from one or more or all sources and may be set aside into sinking funds

at regular intervals which may be provided in any resolution or trust indenture.

(b) All such sinking funds shall be pledged to and charged with the payment of:

(1) The interest upon such bonds as such interest shall fall due;

(2) The principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due;

(3) The necessary charges of paying agents for paying principal and interest; and

(4) Any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as provided in Code Sec

tion 12-3-461.

(c) The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations

indentures, such sinking funds, individually, shall be funds for the benefit of all revenue

bonds without distinction or priority of one over another.

(d) Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds

or the provisions of the trust indenture of any given bond issue, any moneys in all sink

ing funds, after all bonds and interest thereon for which such sinking funds were

pledged have been paid, may be paid into the authority fund provided for in Code Sec

tion 12-3-461.

12-3-475. The authority is authorized, subject to the provisions of any prior resolu

tion or trust indenture, to provide by resolution for the issuance of refunding bonds of

the authority for the purpose of refunding any bonds issued under this part and then

outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon. The issuance of such 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 this part insofar

as the same may be applicable.

12-3-476. Except to the extent the rights given in this Code section may be restricted

mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws

of the State of Georgia or granted by this part or under such resolution or trust inden

ture. Such holder, receiver, or trustee may enforce and compel performance of all duties

required by this part, or by resolution or trust indenture, to be performed by the

authority or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging, and collecting of reve

nues, rents, and other charges for the use of the project or projects. In the event of

default of the authority upon the principal and interest obligations of any revenue bond

issue, such holder, receiver, or trustee shall be subrogated to each and every right, spe

cifically including the contract rights of collecting rental, which the authority may pos

sess against the state or any department, agency, or institution of the state and, in the

pursuit of his or its remedies as subrogee, may proceed either at law or in equity, by

action, mandamus, or other proceedings, to collect any sums by such proceedings due

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1983

1535

and owing to the authority and pledged or partially pledged directly or indirectly to the benefit of the revenue bond issue of which such holder, receiver, or trustee is representa tive. No holder, receiver, or trustee shall have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the state to pay any such bond or the interest thereon or the right to enforce the payment thereof against any property of the state; nor shall any such bond constitute a charge, lien, or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon the property of the state, provided that any provision of this part or any other law to the contrary notwith standing, any such holder, receiver, or trustee shall have the right by appropriate legal or equitable proceedings (including, without being limited to, mandamus) to enforce compliance by the appropriate public officials with the provisions of Article VII, Section IV of the Constitution of Georgia, and permission is given for the institution of any such proceedings to compel the payment of lease obligations.

state is now or may hereafter be authorized. 12-3-478. While any of the bonds issued by the authority remain outstanding, the
powers, duties, or existence of the authority or of its officers, employees, or agents shall not be diminished or impaired in any manner that will affect adversely the interests and
rights of the holders of such bonds; nor will the state itself in any way obstruct, prevent, impair, or render impossible the due and faithful performance of all project rental or lease contracts and all the covenants thereof entered into under this part. This part
shall be for the benefit of the state, the authority, and each and every holder of the authority's bonds and, upon and after the issuance of bonds under this part, shall con stitute an irrevocable contract with the holders of such bonds.
12-3-479. Bonds of the authority shall be confirmed and validated in accordance with
the procedure of Article 3 of Chapter 82 of Title 36. 12-3-480. All moneys received pursuant to the authority of this part, whether as pro

the carrying out of its corporate purposes are in all respects for the benefit of the people of this state and that the authority is an institution of purely public charity and will be performing an essential governmental function in the exercise of the power conferred

taxation from within the state. 12-3-482. Any action to declare, protect, or enforce any rights or duties under this
part, brought in the courts of the state, shall be brought in the Superior Court of
