Compiler's Note
The Journal of the House of Representatives regular session of 1983 and extraordinary session of 1982 is bound in two separate volumes. The large number of pages made it impractical to bind into one volume.
Volume I contains January 10, 1983 through February 21, 1983. Volume II contains February 22, 1983 through March 4, 1983 regular session and August 3, 1982 through August 8, 1982 extraordinary session.

A BILL
To amend Article 3 of Chapter 12 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to obscenity and related offenses, so as to prohibit the sale, loan, or exhibition of certain material to minors; to provide legislative intent; to provide definitions; to make it unlawful to sell, loan, or exhibit certain material to minors; to provide for penalties; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 3 of Article 3 of Chapter 12 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the sale or distribution of harmful material to minors, is amended by striking Part 3 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Part 3 to read as follows:
"Part 3
16-12-101. During the past several years the sale, loan, and exhibition of harmful materials to minors has become a matter of increasingly grave concern to the people of this state. The elimination of such sales, loans, and exhibition and the consequent protection of minors from harmful materials are in the best interest of the morals and general welfare of the citizens of this state in general and of minors in this state in particular. The accomplishment of these ends can best be achieved by providing public prosecutors with an effective power to commence criminal proceedings against persons who engage in the sale, loan, or exhibition of harmful materials to minors.
16-12-102. As used in this part, the term: (1) 'Harmful to minors' means that quality of any description or representation, in
whatever form, of nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sadomasochistic abuse, when it:
(A) Predominantly appeals to the prurient, shameful, or morbid interest of minors;
(B) Is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors; and

1570

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(C) Is utterly without redeeming social importance for minors. (2) 'Knowingly' means having general knowledge of, or reason to know, or a belief or ground for belief which warrants further inspection or inquiry of both:
(A) The character and content of any material described in this part which is reasonably susceptible of examination by the defendant; and
(B) The age of the minor, provided that an honest mistake shall constitute an excuse from liability under this part if the defendant made a reasonable bona fide attempt to ascertain the true age of such minor. (3) 'Minor' means any person under the age of 18 years. (4) 'Nudity' means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area or buttocks with less than a full opaque covering, or the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any portion thereof below the top of the nipple, or the depiction of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state. (5) 'Sadomasochistic abuse' means flagellation or torture by or upon a person clad in undergarments, a mask or bizarre costume, or the condition of being fettered, bound, or otherwise physically restrained on the part of one so clothed. (6) 'Sexual conduct' means acts of masturbation, homosexuality, sexual intercourse, or physical contact with a person's clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if such person be a female, breast. (7) 'Sexual excitement' means the condition of human male or female genitals when in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal. 16-12-103. It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to sell or loan for monetary consideration to a minor: (1) A picture, photograph, drawing, sculpture, motion picture film, or similar visual representation or image of a person or portion of the human body which depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which, taken as whole, is harmful to minors; or (2) Any book, pamphlet, magazine, printed matter however reproduced, or sound recording which contains any matter enumerated in paragraph (1) of this Code section or explicit and detailed verbal descriptions or narrative accounts of sexual excitement, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which, taken as a whole, is harmful to minors. 16-12-104. It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to exhibit for a monetary consideration to a minor or knowingly to sell to a minor an admission ticket or pass or knowingly to admit a minor for a monetary consideration to premises whereon there is exhibited a motion picture, show, or other presentation which depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which, taken as a whole, is harmful to minors. 16-12-105. Any person who violates any provision of Code Section 16-12-103 or 16-12-104 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature."
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.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representative Phillips of the 125th moves to amend the Committee substitute to HB 277 by striking on page 1, line 17, the words "During the past several years" and substituting in lieu thereof the words "The General Assembly finds that".

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 8 of Title 33 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to insurance fees and taxes, is amended by striking Code Section 33-8-8, relating to imposition of local license fees upon insurance companies, in its entirety and inserting in its place a new Code Section 33-8-8 to read as follows:

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1983

1573

"33-8-8. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the State of Georgia preempts the field of imposing taxes, except taxes on real property and tangible personal property taxed ad valorem, upon insurance companies and their agents and other representatives, including, but not limited to, excise, privilege, franchise, income, license, permit, registration, and similar taxes and fees measured by premiums, income, or volume of transactions; and no county or unincorporated area of such county, city, municipality, district, school district, or other political subdivision or agency of this state shall impose,

(b) Municipal corporations are authorized, in conformity with the requirements of
their charters, to impose and collect the following license fees upon life insurance com-

25,000 - 49,999..................................................:............................................................ 100.00

50,000 and over.............................................................................................................. 150.00

and an additional annual license fee in the same amount for each separate business

location in excess of one operated and maintained by such company within the same

(2) An additional annual license fee of $10.00 or 35 percent of the schedule set

forth in this paragraph, whichever amount is greater, on each life insurance company

for each separate business location not otherwise subject to a license fee under this

Code section, which company is operated and maintained by a business organization

which is engaged in the business of lending money or transacting sales involving term

financing and which, in connection with the loans or sales involving term financing,

offers, solicits, or takes applications for insurance through a licensed agent of the

insurance company for life insurance.

(c) Within 45 days after the date of their enactment, each municipal corporation

shall file with the Commissioner a certified copy of the pertinent parts of all ordinances

and amendments thereto which impose any such license fee, and such filing shall be a

condition to the validity and enforceability of such an ordinance.

(d) Life insurance agencies which are maintained and operated by a company may

not be separately licensed by municipal corporations except under the provisions of this

Code section; but nothing contained in this Code section shall prevent municipal corpo-

rations from separately imposing and collecting business licenses from independent

insurance agencies or brokers doing a life insurance business not otherwise taxed under

this Code section. No such license may be imposed on such independent agents or bro-

kers, which license is measured by the premiums of life insurance companies.

(e) Life insurance companies may deduct from premium taxes otherwise payable to

this state under Code Section 33-8-4, in addition to all credits and abatements allowed

by law, the license fees imposed pursuant to this Code section and paid to any munici-

pal corporation during the preceding calendar year.

(f) As used in this Code section, the term 'life insurance company' means a company

which is authorized to transact only the class of insurance designated in Code Section

33-3-5 as class (1)."

Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 33-8-8.1, relating to county tax on life insurance companies, and inserting in its place a new Code Section 33-8-8.1 to read as follows:
"33-8-8.1. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'life insurance company' means a company which is authorized to transact only the class of insurance designated in Code Section 33-3-5 as class (1).

1574

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(b) Life insurance companies are subject to county and municipal corporation taxes levied as follows:
(1) There is imposed a county tax for county purposes on each life insurance company doing business within the state, which tax shall be based solely upon gross direct premiums, as defined in Code Section 33-8-4, from policies insuring persons residing within the unincorporated area of the counties pursuant to the provisions of this Code section. The rate of such tax shall be 1 percent of such premiums, except that such tax shall not apply to the gross direct premiums of an insurance company which qualifies, pursuant to Code Section 33-8-5, for the reduction to one-half of 1 percent of the state tax imposed by Code Section 33-8-4. The tax imposed by this Code section shall not apply to annuity considerations; and
(2) Municipal corporations whose ordinances have been filed with the commissioner are authorized, in conformity with the requirements of their charters, to impose and collect a tax on each life insurance company doing business within the state, which tax shall be based solely upon the gross direct premiums, as defined in Code Section 33-8-4, which are received from policies insuring persons residing within the corporate limits of the municipal corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Code section; provided, however, that the rate of the tax may not exceed 1 percent of the premiums. The tax imposed shall not apply to annuity considerations. (c) Taxes and penalties imposed by subsection (b) of this Code section shall be collected by the Commissioner on behalf of counties and municipal corporations whose ordinances have been filed with the Commissioner in the same manner and on the same dates as prescribed in Code Section 33-8-6.
(d) Taxes and penalties imposed by subsection (b) of this Code section shall be allocated and distributed to counties and municipal corporations as follows:
(1) A portion of the total amount of life insurance premiums taxable by the state, exclusive of premiums collected by companies which qualify for the reduction to onehalf of 1 percent of the state tax, shall be allocated to counties based upon the ratio that the total population of all unincorporated areas in the state bears to the total population in the state. The amount of the tax base so allocated to counties shall be taxed at the rate levied for county purposes. The tax shall be distributed to each county governing authority by the Commissioner based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the population of the unincorporated area of that county and the denominator of which is the population of all unincorporated areas of the state; and
(2) A portion of the total amount of life insurance premiums taxable by the state shall be allocated to all municipal corporations based upon the ratio that the total population of all municipal corporations bears to the total state population. The amount of the tax base so allocated to municipalities shall be distributed to each municipal corporation based upon the fraction, the numerator of which is the population of that municipal corporation and the denominator of which is the population of all municipal corporations in the state. The amount of the tax base so distributed to each municipality shall be taxed at the rate levied by that municipality; and taxes levied by each municipal corporation shall be distributed based upon the tax rate levied by each such municipal corporation.
(e) On or before January 1 of the first year that the tax is levied, each municipal corporation levying the tax shall file with the Commissioner a certified copy of the pertinent parts of all ordinances and amendments thereto which impose the tax, and such filing shall be a condition to the validity and enforceability of such an ordinance. On or before February 1 of each year the Commissioner shall furnish a list of all municipal corporations levying the tax for that year to each life insurance company in the state.
(f) Life insurance companies may deduct from premium taxes otherwise payable to this state under Code Section 33-8-4, in addition to all credits and abatements allowed by law, the taxes imposed pursuant to subsection (b) of this Code section and paid to the Commissioner on behalf of any county and municipal corporation during the preceding calendar year.
(g) The Commissioner shall make semi-annual distributions of the taxes and penalties imposed by counties and municipal corporations under this Code section which are

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1983

1575

actually remitted to and collected by the Commissioner. Beginning on June 1, 1984, and on the same date thereafter, distribution shall be made and it shall include the total amount of tax due for the preceding year after deduction for distribution of any estimated taxes already made for premiums written during the preceding year. Beginning on December 1, 1984, and on the same date thereafter, distribution shall be made and it shall include the amount of estimated taxes paid for the first two calendar quarters of the current year.
(h) Amounts collected by the Commissioner under or due under former Code Section 33-8-8.1 shall be collected and disbursed as provided in former Code Section 33-8-8.1.
(i) For purposes of this Code section, population shall be measured by the decennial census of 1980 or any future such census and any additional official census data received by the Commissioner from the United States Census Bureau or its successor agency pertaining to any newly incorporated municipality."
Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by adding a new Code section after Code Section 33-8-8.1, to be designated as Code Section 33-8-8.2, which shall read as follows:
"33-8-8.2 (a) Counties and municipal corporations are authorized to levy tax at a rate not to exceed 2.5 percent upon the gross direct premiums of all foreign, alien, and domestic insurance companies doing business in this state other than life insurance companies. The tax shall be in addition to the taxes levied by Code Section 33-8-4, and it may be levied upon the gross direct premiums received by such companies on or after January 1, 1984. The tax shall be levied upon persons, property, or risks in Georgia from January 1 to December 31, both inclusive, of each year without regard to business ceded to or assumed from other companies. The tax shall be imposed upon gross premiums received from direct writing without any deductions allowed from premium abatement of any kind or character or for reinsurance or for losses or expenses of any kind; provided, however, deductions shall be allowed for premiums returned or change of rate or canceled policies; provided, further, that deductions shall be permitted for returned premiums or assessments, including all policy dividends, refunds, or other similar returns paid or credited to policyholders.
(b) The taxes provided in this Code section are county and municipal taxes and shall be levied for county and municipal purposes and shall be collected and distributed as follows:
(1) On or before January 1 of the first year that the tax is levied, each county and municipal corporation levying the tax shall file with the Commissioner a certified copy of the pertinent parts of all ordinances and resolutions and amendments thereto which impose the tax, and such filing shall be a condition to the validity and enforceability of such an ordinance or resolution;
(2) On or before February 1 of each year, the Commissioner shall furnish to each insurance company a list of all counties and municipal corporations where the tax as authorized by this Code section has been imposed for the then current year together with the applicable tax rate levied by each such county and municipal corporation and the population percentages by which the taxes are to be allocated to each such county and municipal corporation as provided in this Code section;
(3) The tax and penalties imposed by this Code section shall be collected by the Commissioner on behalf of counties and municipal corporations whose ordinances and resolutions have been filed with the Commissioner in the same manner and on the same dates as prescribed in Code Section 33-8-6;
(4) The total amount of premiums taxable by the state on insurance companies as defined in this Code section shall be allocated to each county unincorporated area and each municipal corporation based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the population of the unincorporated area or municipal corporation and the denominator of which is the total population of the state. Tax rates levied by each county shall be applied to the premiums allocated to its unincorporated area, and tax rates levied by each municipal corporation shall be applied to the premiums allocated to it; and
(5) The Commissioner shall make semi-annual distributions of the taxes and penalties imposed by counties and municipal corporations under this Code section which are actually remitted to and collected by the Commissioner. Beginning on June 1,

1576

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

1984, and on the same date thereafter, distribution shall be made and it shall include the total amount of tax due for the preceding year after deduction for distribution of any estimated taxes already made for premiums written during the preceding year. Beginning on December 1, 1984, and on the same date thereafter, distribution shall be made and it shall include the amount of estimated taxes paid for the first two calendar quarters of the current year. (c) For purposes of this Code section, population shall be measured by the decennial census of 1980 or any 'future such census and any additional official census data received by the Commissioner from the United States Census Bureau or its successor agency pertaining to any newly incorporated municipality. (d) Any county or municipal corporation which, on January 1, 1983, levied a tax on all premiums of insurance companies, other than life insurance companies, at a rate in excess of 2.5 percent may continue to levy the tax at a rate in excess of 2.5 percent; provided that the rate of such tax shall not exceed the rate which was in effect in such county or municipal corporation on January 1, 1983, reduced annually beginning January 1, 1984, by one-half of the difference between such January 1, 1983, rate and 2.5 percent, so that the rate levied on January 1, 1985, shall not exceed 2.5 percent."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by adding a new Code section after Code Section 33-8-8.2, to be designated as Code Section 33-8-8.3, to read as follows:
"33-8-8.3. The proceeds from the county taxes levied for county purposes, as provided by this chapter, shall be separated from other county funds and shall be used by county governing authorities solely for the purpose of reducing ad valorem taxes of the inhabitants of the unincorporated areas of such counties.

Provided, that none of the State funds appropriated above may be expended to initiate or commence any new program or project which would create a continuing obligation of the current funds of the State, unless such program or project has been authorized by the General Assembly.
Provided, that where teaching personnel are paid in whole or in part from funds other than State-local funds, the fund source from which such salary is paid shall bear the pro rata part of the cost of employer contributions to the Teachers' Retirement System and Teachers' Health Insurance applicable to such salary.
Provided, further, that for kindergarten programs, each system shall be allotted instructional units on the basis of one teacher and one aide for each 40 students or major fraction thereof in average daily attendance, except in the case of mentally, physically or emotionally handicapped children, the ratio shall be one teacher and one aide for 24 students or major fraction thereof in average daily membership.

"Part 2
3-4-51. (a) (1) (A) The number of retail dealer licenses which may be issued by the governing authority of any county in which the retail sale of distilled spirits is authorized shall be limited to a maximum of one license per 3,000 persons, or major fraction thereof, who reside within the unincorporated area of the county. (B) The number of retail dealer licenses which may be issued by the governing authority of any municipality in which the retail sale of distilled spirits is authorized shall be limited to a maximum of one license per 3,000 persons, or major fraction thereof, who reside within the municipality. (2) Population figures shall be based on the population of the political subdivision
as shown in the most recent official United States decennial census or as shown by satisfactory evidence presented by the applicant which evidence demonstrates to the governing authority that such census does not reflect the actual population of the political subdivision.

1744

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(3) Notwithstanding the population of the unincorporated area of any county or of any municipality, the unincorporated area of each county and each municipality in
which the retail sale of distilled spirits is authorized shall be authorized to issue two retail dealer licenses.
(4) Nothing in this part shall be deemed or construed as prohibiting counties or municipalities from further limiting, based on population, the number of retail dealer licenses which shall be issued by such political subdivision.
(b) (1) The limitation upon the number of retail dealer licenses to be issued as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to licenses issued prior to July 1, 1983, or to the renewal or transfer thereof. The limitation upon the number of retail dealer licenses to be issued as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section
shall not apply to licenses issued after July 1, 1983, or to the renewal or transfer thereof, if, at the time the license was initially issued, such initial issue was in accordance with the limitations provided in subsection (a) of this Code section.
(2) Upon the revocation of any license, no renewal thereof or new license therefor shall be issued contrary to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Code section.
(c) When additional retail dealer licenses become available by reason of an increase in population or by reason of a county or municipality initially permitting the sale of distilled spirits, no current retail dealer licensee or any person who has held a direct or
indirect interest in a retail dealer license during the immediately preceding 12 months shall be entitled to apply for and receive more than one such newly available license in
any political subdivision. (d) A retail dealer licensee shall be entitled to a renewal of an annual license from
year to year in accordance with procedures adopted by the governing authority of the licensing political subdivision, and such license may be transferred pursuant to the pro-
visions of Code Section 3-4-52.
3-4-52. (a) (1) In cases where a retail licensee moves his package sales business from one location in the unincorporated area of a county to another location in the unincorporated area of such county, he shall be authorized to apply to the appropriate licensing authority to have the license for the location previously occupied apply to
the new location. If the retail licensee complies with all requirements of state laws or local ordinances and pays a transfer fee not to exceed $100.00, the governing authority of the county shall authorize the existing license to apply to the new location.
(2) In cases where a retail licensee moves his package sales business from one location in a municipality to another location within such municipality, he shall be authorized to apply to the appropriate licensing authority to have the license for the location previously occupied apply to the new location. If the retail licensee complies
with all requirements of state laws or local ordinances and pays a transfer fee not to exceed $100.00, the governing authority of the municipality shall authorize the existing
license to apply to the new location.
(b) In cases where a retail licensee has made a bona fide sale of the retail dealer licensed establishment, he may make application for a transfer of such license to the
purchaser of said retail dealer licensed establishment. If the transferee is otherwise qualified to hold a retail dealer license under state law and local ordinances and otherwise meets all the qualifications and requirements imposed on individuals making an initial
application for a retail dealer license, the governing authority of the political subdivision shall transfer the license to the purchaser. The governing authority may charge a transfer fee not to exceed the annual retail dealer license fee levied by the governing author-
ity.
(c) If a retail dealer license is transferred under the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section, the licensee may make application to the state for a like trans-
fer of the corresponding state license. The state may issue a state retail dealers license provided all the qualifications and requirements imposed for such license are met and payment of all license and investigation fees are paid.
3-4-53. The General Assembly declares that this part is enacted pursuant to the authority granted to the state under the provisions of the Twenty-first Amendment to
the United States Constitution and specifically for the following purposes and policies:

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1983

HR 156. By: Representatives Adams of the 16th, Ross of the 82nd, Phillips of the 93rd, Mostiler of the 75th, Jones of the 78th and Moore of the 139th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Blue Ribbon Committee on School Climate; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the term "school climate" is defined as the people in the school and those qualities of the school such as respect, pride, trust, ownership, and care which affect how people feel while they are in school; and
WHEREAS, research has shown that, as the climate of a school becomes more positive, attendance and achievement improve, the number of dropouts declines, and people are more respectful and helpful to others and assume more responsibility for the well-being of the school; and
WHEREAS, as the climate of a school becomes more positive, highly undesirable symptoms of poor climate such as discipline problems, defacing of property, other forms of vandalism, and violence subside; and
WHEREAS, various legislative study committees over the last six years as well as the Governor's Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention have determined that the role of education in preventing delinquency is most critical; and
WHEREAS, such study committees have further concluded that programs designed with the input of administrators, teachers, students, and parents to improve the school climate provide an excellent opportunity and procedure for local schools to address local problems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Blue Ribbon Committee on School Climate which shall be composed of 15 members as follows:
(1) Two members of the Senate appointed by the Lieutenant Governor; (2) Two members of the House appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives; (3) One member of the State Board of Education appointed by the Governor; (4) The President of the Georgia Association of Curriculum Directors and Instructional Supervisors, or his designee; (5) The President of the Georgia School Counselors Association, or his designee; (6) The President of the School Board Association, or his designee; (7) The President of the State Superintendent's Association, or his designee; (8) The President of the Georgia Association of Educators, or his designee; (9) The President of the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, or his designee; (10) The President of the Georgia Secondary School Principals' Association, or his designee; (11) One member from the state at large with a known interest in education appointed by the Governor; (12) One high school student from the state at large appointed by the Governor; and

1754

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(13) The Chairman of the Governor's Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The committee shall undertake a study of the schools and educational systems of this state to determine the appropriate programs and procedures schools can undertake to improve school climate. The committee shall determine if certain programs can be initiated at the state level to encourage or assist schools in improving school climate. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The Department of Education and the General Assembly shall provide technical assistance and staff support to the committee. The legislative members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for no more than ten days. The other members of the committee shall receive no compensation for their services, but they shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties as members of the committee. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, no later than December 1, 1983, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.

A BILL
To amend Chapter 17 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the Peace Officers' Annuity and Benefit Fund, so as to waive the necessity for a medical

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

examination for membership in the fund under certain circumstances; to provide limitations on the authority of the board of trustees to terminate membership in the fund for late payment of dues; to provide credit for previous actual service as a peace officer under certain circumstances; to provide procedures and requirements relative thereto; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 17 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the Peace Officers' Annuity and Benefit Fund, is amended by adding at the end of Code Section 47-17-40, relating to application for membership in the fund, a new subsection (d) to read as follows:
"(d) The requirement of a medical examination for membership in the fund provided for by subsection (b) of this Code section shall not apply to any peace officer who:
(1) Is 50 years of age or less on July 1, 1983, and is actively employed as a peace officer on that date;
(2) Has at least 20 years of active service as a peace officer; and (3) Was previously an active member of the fund during all or any portion of calendar years 1975 and 1976."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end of Code Section 47-17-44, relating to the payment of membership dues, a new subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) No peace officer's membership in the fund may be terminated by the board for late payment of the dues required by subsection (a) of this Code section unless such late payment results from negligence or a willful disregard of the requirements of said subsection (a). Such negligence or willful disregard may be presumed by the board if a member of the fund fails to pay any dues owed by the member within 30 days after receiving a notice, in writing, from the board specifying the amount of dues then owed by the member. Such notice shall be sent to the member by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall clearly state the total dues owed by the member, the date by which such dues must be paid, and a statement to the effect that a failure to pay the amount specified by not later than the date specified shall result in the termination of membership in the fund."

"(c) Any other provisions of this Code section or of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, any peace officer becoming a member of the fund on or after July 1, 1983, who may become a member of the fund without the necessity of a medical examination as provided by subsection (d) of Code Section 47-17-40 may, after serving a minimum of three years as a contributing member of the fund, receive credit for all purposes under this chapter for previous actual service as a peace officer, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The member must pay to the board the dues specified by subsection (a) of Code Section 47-17-44 for each month of previous service claimed; and
(2) The member must pay to the board interest at the rate of 6 percent per annum on the amount of dues paid under paragraph (1) of this subsection, with such interest compounded annually from the time the previous service was rendered until the date of payment to the board."
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

HB 394. By: Representatives Greer of the 39th and Colbert of the 23rd: A BILL to amend Article 4 of Chapter 7 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to hospital authorities, so as to provide for certain funds from certain sale proceeds to be used for the benefit of indigent sick persons until distributed to participating subdivisions and the conditions and procedures connected therewith; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Article 4 of Chapter 7 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to hospital authorities, so as to provide for the sale of authority projects, the payment of authority debts and obligations with the sale proceeds, and the establishment of a fund using the remaining sale proceeds for the benefit of indigent sick persons, and the conditions and procedures relating thereto; to provide for disbursement of the funds and various uses thereof; to provide an additional ground for an authority's failure to perform minimal functions; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 4 of Chapter 7 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to hospital authorities, is amended by adding following Code Section 31-7-75 a new Code Section 31-7-75.1 to read as follows:
"31-7-75.1. (a) A hospital authority is authorized to pay all or a portion of any indebtedness or other obligations incurred with respect to any lands, buildings, structures, or facilities constituting all or any part of any project sold to others pursuant to paragraph (6) of Code Section 31-7-75 and shall establish with the balance of the proceeds from any such sale a fund for the benefit of the indigent sick persons within the area of operation of the authority and to promote the public health needs of the community of such area of operation or disburse the fund to the participating units in direct proportion to the population of the participating units based on the most recent United States decennial census.
(b) If a board of a hospital authority determines to create an indigent medical care fund, the board shall cause written notice of its determination to be delivered to the governing body of each participating unit within ten days after the date such determination is made. The governing body of each participating unit may elect, within 75 days after the date it receives notice that the board of the hospital authority determines to create an indigent medical care fund, to receive the participating unit's proportionate share of the net sale proceeds, which shall bear the same proportion to the net sale proceeds as the proportion of the population of the electing participating unit bears to the population of all participating units of the hospital authority, according to the most recent United States decennial census. To make such election, the governing body of a participating unit shall give the board of the hospital authority written notice of such election delivered to such board within ten days after the date the governing body makes such election. Such written notice shall include a written undertaking binding upon such participating units to create and administer a fund for paying costs of hospital care of indigent sick persons residing within the participating unit or, in lieu of such

1760

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

undertaking, a certification that the governing body has made other similar arrangements for the hospital care of such persons. Within 30 days after its receipt of a written notice from the governing body of the participating unit which complies with the preceding sentence, the hospital authority shall compute and disburse to each electing par-
ticipating unit its proportionate share of the net sale proceeds. Upon disbursement of each such proportionate share, the recipient shall cease to be a participating unit,
(c) (1) If a board of a hospital authority determines to create an indigent medical care fund, and if the governing bodies of all participating units of an authority do not
deliver a written notice of election complying in all respects with the requirements relating thereto set forth in subsection (b) of this Code section, the board of the hospital authority will establish an indigent medical care fund with the remaining net sale proceeds. The board of the hospital authority will request that the participating units enter into a contract to make determinations of eligibility for residents within such
participating units in accordance with written standards applicable to eligibility for medical care for their indigent residents.
(2) If any participating unit shall fail or refuse to enter into a contract as described in paragraph (1) of this subsection within 90 days after being requested to
do so by the board of the hospital authority, the board will develop and promulgate rules and regulations for the eligibility of indigent persons and medical care costs and the application for and payment of benefits from the indigent medical care fund after
holding at least one public hearing in each noncontracting participating unit to receive comments about the proposed rules and regulations from interested persons. Notice of each such hearing shall be published in a newspaper at least once and at least seven
days prior to the date of such hearing, in the official organ of the county in which the hearing is to be held in which the sheriffs advertisements appear. Benefits from the indigent medical care fund will be available only to indigent sick persons residing
in the participating units.
(3) The board of a hospital authority creating an indigent medical care fund shall
manage and administer such fund and may delegate one or more of its membprs,jofficers, agents, or employees such powers and duties as may be necessary and proper to manage and administer the fund. The board of a hospital authority may enter into a contract satisfactory to such board with a trust company or a bank having trust
powers and having its principal place of business within the State of Georgia to act as the investment manager and administrator of the fund and take all actions regarding the investment, receipt, and disbursement of fund moneys in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the board of hospital authority and without the
further approval or concurrence of such board.
(4) Any such fund shall be continued for the purposes set forth in this Code section for so long as the board of the hospital authority deems appropriate. An indigent
medical care fund may be terminated at any time by joint action of the board of an authority and the governing bodies of its participating units, the assets thereupon to be distributed to the participating units per capita on the basis of the populations thereof as determined by the most recent United States decennial census. After the
creation of an indigent medical care fund under this Code section, a hospital authority shall continue to prepare an annual report and budget as required by Code Section 31-7-90 and continue to conduct an annual audit of its financial affairs, books, and
records pursuant to Code Section 31-7-91. Income from the investment of fund moneys may be used to pay the cost of preparing such annual report, annual budget, and annual audit and any other costs lawfully incurred by the hospital authority.
(5) The sum of all expenses incurred by the authority in any fiscal year to administer the indigent medical care fund shall not exceed the greater of $10,000.00 or 5
percent of the income earned on the fund during such fiscal year, but in no event shall such expenses exceed the sum of $70,000.00 in any fiscal year. Benefits paid to or on behalf of eligible persons and the costs associated with the annual report and budget
required by Code Section 31-7-90 and the annual audit of financial affairs, books, and records required by Code Section 31-7-91 shall be excluded from the foregoing limitation."

Sovereign immunity shall be granted to a hospital authority as to those actions for the recovery of damages for any claims against that hospital authority only if that hospital authority maintains for such claims liability insurance or self-insurance in an amount of at least $1,000.00 for each inpatient hospital bed of the hospital authority. Sovereign immunity granted to a hospital authority which maintains the insurance protection required by this Code section shall be waived only to the extent of that insurance protection. A hospital authority shall not have sovereign immunity as to any action ex contractu for the breach of any written contract now existing or hereafter entered into by the hospital authority.'"

The State Medical Education Board (hereinafter referred to as 'board') created by this Code section shall be the successor to and a continuation of the heretofore existing State Medical Education Board. The members of the board in office on July 1, 1983, shall serve out the remainder of their respective terms. The Governor shall appoint two additional members to take office on July 1, 1983, for terms expiring on April 1, 1987. Thereafter, as the term of office of each member expires, the Governor shall appoint their successors for a term of four years and until their successors are appointed and qualified.

1792

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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 program in medical education designed to qualify the graduate for licensure by the Composite 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, character, 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 prescribe such rules and regulations as it deems necessary and proper to carry out the purpose and intention of this part. The investigation of the applicant shall include an
investigation of the ability of the applicant, and of the parents of such applicant, to pay his or her own tuition at such medical school, and the board in granting such loans and scholarships shall give preference to qualified applicants who, and whose parents, are
unable to pay the applicant's tuition at such a medical school.
(b) The board shall have authority to grant to each applicant deemed by the board to be qualified to receive the same a loan or scholarship on a one-year renewable basis for the purpose of acquiring a standard four-year medical education, upon such terms
and conditions as in the judgment of the board may be necessary or desirable. The board is authorized to consider, among other criteria, the home area of the student and the likelihood, if determinable, that the student will practice medicine in an area of this state which may entitle the student to repay the loan through services rendered as pro-
vided in this part.
20-3-513. Applicants who are granted loans or scholarships by the board shall receive
a loan or scholarship not to exceed $24,000.00 with which to defray the tuition and other expenses of any such applicant in an accredited four-year medical school in the United States which has received accreditation or provisional accreditation by the Liaison Com-
mittee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association or the Bureau of Professional Education of the American Osteopathic Association for a program in medical education designed to qualify the graduate for licensure by the Composite State Board
of Medical Examiners of Georgia. The loans and scholarships shall be paid in such manner as the board shall determine and may be prorated so as to pay to the medical college or school to which any applicant is admitted such funds as are required by that
college or school with the balance being paid directly to the applicant; all of which shall be under such terms and conditions as may be provided under rules and regulations of the board. The said loans or scholarships to be granted to each applicant shall be based upon the condition that the full amount thereof shall be repaid to the State of Georgia
in services to be rendered by the applicant by practicing his or her profession in a board approved community in Georgia of 15,000 population or less according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census or at any hospital or facility operated by or under the jurisdiction of the Department of Human Resources or at any
facility operated by or under the jurisdiction of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. For each year year of practicing his or her profession in such board approved location, the applicant shall receive credit, with the interest due thereon, for the amount of
the scholarship received during any one year in medical school.
20-3-514. (a) Each applicant before being granted a loan or scholarship shall enter into a contract with the State of Georgia agreeing to the terms and conditions upon
which the loan or scholarship is granted, which contract shall include such terms and provisions as will carry out the full purpose and intent of this part. The form of such
contract shall be prepared and approved by the Attorney General, and each contract shall be signed by the chairman of the board, countersigned by the secretary, and shall be signed by the applicant. For the purposes of this part the disabilities of minority of
all applicants granted loans or scholarships pursuant to this part are removed, and the said applicants are declared to be of full lawful age for the purpose of entering into the
contract provided for in this Code section and such contract so executed by an applicant
is declared to be a valid and binding contract the same as though the said applicant

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1983

1793

were of the full age of majority. The board is vested with full and complete authority to bring an action in its own name against any applicant for any balance due the board on any such contract.
(b) The board shall have the authority to cancel the contract of any applicant at any time for cause deemed sufficient by the board. Upon cancellation of the contract for any cause whatsoever, including default or breach thereof by the applicant, the total uncredited amount of the scholarship paid to the applicant shall at once become due and payable to the board in cash with interest at the minimum rate of 12 percent per annum from the date of each payment by the board and compounded annually to the date the scholarship or loan is paid in full. The board is authorized to increase annually said rate of interest due on loans granted to new recipients; provided, however, that the increased rate of interest shall not exceed by more than 2 percent the prime rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and in effect at the time of the increase.
20-3-515. It shall be the duty of the board to make inquiry of such four-year medical schools as it deems proper and make arrangements, within the limitations as to cost as provided for in Code Section20-3-513, for the payment of tuition or matriculation fees of enrolled students granted loans or scholarships by the board.
20-3-516. The funds necessary for the loans or scholarships provided for by this part and to administer the terms of this part shall come from funds made available to the board from appropriations to the board of regents for medical scholarships or other purposes. The State Medical Education Board shall be assigned to the board of regents for administrative purposes only.
20-3-517. The board shall make a biennial report to the General Assembly of its activities, loans or scholarships granted, names of persons to whom granted and the institutions attended by those receiving the same, the location of the applicants who have received their education and become licensed to practice medicine within this state, and where they are practicing, and shall make a full report of all its expenditures for loans or scholarships and expenses incurred pursuant to this part.
20-3-518. It is the purpose and intent of this part to bring about an adequate supply of persons licensed to practice medicine in the more sparsely populated areas of the State of Georgia by increasing the number of medical students from Georgia in the various medical schools and inducing a sufficient number of the graduates from medical schools to return to Georgia and practice their profession, thus affording adequate medical care to the people of Georgia."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

If you spoil your ballot, do not erase, but ask for a new ballot. Use only pen or pencil.' Immediately under the directions, the name of each nonpartisan candidate shall be arranged under the title of the office for which such candidate was nominated in the official nonpartisan primary. No party designation or affiliation shall appear beside the name of any candidate for nonpartisan office. An appropriate space shall also be placed on the ballot for the casting of write-in votes for such offices. In the event that no candidate in such nonpartisan election receives a majority of the total votes cast for such office, there shall be a nonpartisan election runoff between the candidates receiving the two highest numbers of votes; and the names of such candidates shall be placed on the official ballot at the general election runoff in the same manner as prescribed in this Code section for the nonpartisan election. In the event that only nonpartisan candidates for judges are to be placed on a runoff ballot, the form of the ballot shall be as prescribed by the Secretary of State or election superintendent in essentially the same format as prescribed for the nonpartisan election of judges.

The names of candidates and independent candidates shall be arranged under or opposite the title of the office for which they are candidates and shall appear in the order prescribed by subsection (c) and the second sentence of subsection (e) of Code Section 21-2-285. The rows or columns occupied by the candidates of political parties and bodies shall be arranged according to the priority prescribed by subsection (c) of Code Section 21-2-285. When voting machines are used on which the titles of offices are arranged horizontally, the names of all candidates for the same office shall appear within the same vertical lines.

The following substitute, offered by Representative Greer of the 39th, was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend an Act known as the "Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965," approved March 10, 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 2243), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 16, 1979 (Ga. L. 1979, p. 4634) and an Act approved April 7, 1981 (Ga. L. 1981, p. 4289), so as to provide that the retail sales and use tax for the Authority shall be at the rate of one percent until and including June 30, 2012, and shall thereafter be reduced to one-half of one percent, and to provide for the use of the proceeds of that tax; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. An Act known as the "Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965," approved March 10, 1965 (Ga.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

one percent. Said tax shall be added to the State Sales and Use Tax imposed by the Georgia Retailers' and Consumers' Sates -asA -Use ^Fax -Act-, approved February -30-, 1061 {Gffc fc 4961; PT 369}; as amended, Article 1 of Chapter 8 of Title 48 of the O.C.G.A.. and the State Revenue Commissioner is hereby authorized and directed to establish a bracket system by appropriate rules and regulations to collect the tax herein imposed in the areas affected."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking subsection (i) of Section 25 and inserting in its place a new subsection (i) to read as follows:
"(i) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the tax levied pursuant to this Act shall be used solely by each local government to fulfill the obligations incurred in the contracts entered into with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority as contemplated in the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965, as amended, provided, however, that no more than fifty percent (50%) of the annual proceeds of the tax shall be used to subsidize the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, until July 1, 1907 2012, after which time no more than sixty percent (60%) of the annual proceeds of the tax shall be used to subsidize the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, and that commencing with July 1, 1907 2012, and for every year thereafter, the proceeds of the tax shall not be used to subsidize operations of the transportation system to an extent greater than fifty percent (50%) of the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. In adopting its annual budget, the Board of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority shall be authorized to rely upon estimates of all revenues, operating costs, patronage and other factors which may affect the amount of the fare required to limit the operating subsidy herein provided for. If the results of any year's operations reflect that the proceeds of the tax were used to subsidize operations to an extent greater than herein provided, the Board shall adjust fares in order to make up the deficit in operations during a period of not to exceed three (3) succeeding years. If the results of operations in the Authority's fiscal year commencing July 1, 1980 or in any subsequent fiscal year reflect that the proceeds of the tax were not used to subsidize operations to the maximum extent herein provided, the Board may, in its sole discretion, reserve any amounts that could have been used to subsidize operations in that fiscal year and later use said reserved amounts and any interest earned on said reserved amounts to provide an additional subsidy for operations in any future fiscal year or years. The words 'operating costs of the system' for purposes of this subsection 25(i) are defined to include all of the costs of that division of the Authority directly involved and that portion of the nonoperating administrative costs of those divisions of the Authority indirectly involved, through the provision of support services, in providing mass transportation services for the metropolitan area, but exclusive of the costs of the division or divisions directly involved and that portion of the nonoperating administrative costs of those divisions indirectly involved, in the planning, design, acquisition, construction and improvement of the rapid transit system, according to accepted principles of accounting. If any proceeds of the tax levied pursuant to this Act are held for the purpose of planning, designing, acquiring, constructing, or improving the rapid transit system and are invested, then all interest earned from such investments shall be used only for planning, designing, acquiring, constructing, or improving the rapid transit system or for paying the principal of or interest on bonds or certificates issued for such purposes."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

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

Each such unopposed candidate shall be deemed to have voted for himself. Where feasible, the superintendent shall provide notice reasonably calculated to inform the affected electorate that no special election is to be conducted. The superintendent shall certify such unopposed candidate as elected in the same manner as he certifies other candidates as elected pursuant to Code Section 21-2-493."
Section 10. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 21-2-381, relating to applications for absentee ballots, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 21-2-381 to read as follows:
"21-2-381. (a) (1) Not more than 90 days prior to the date of the primary or election, or runoff of either, in which the elector desires to vote, any absentee elector may make, either by mail or in person in the registrar's office, an application to the board of registrars of the county of the elector's residence, for an official ballot of the elector's precinct to he voted at such primary, election, or runoff. In the case of an elector residing temporarily out of the county, the application for the elector's absentee ballot may, upon satisfactory proof of relationship, be made by his mother, father, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, spouse, son, daughter, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, of the age of 18 or over. The application shall be in writing and shall contain sufficient information for proper identification of the elector; the permanent or temporary address of the elector to which the absentee ballot shall be mailed; the identity of the primary, election, or runoff in which the elector wishes to vote; the reason for requesting the absentee ballot; and the name and relationship of the person requesting the ballot if other than the elector. No absentee ballot shall be mailed to an address other than the permanent or temporary out-of-county address of the elector. Relatives applying for absentee ballots for electors must also sign an oath stating that facts in the application are true. If the elector is unable to fill out or sign his own application because of illiteracy or physical disability, the elector shall make his mark, and the person filling in the rest of the application shall sign his name below it as a witness; provided, however, that one timely and proper application for an absentee ballot for use in a primary shall be sufficient to require the sending or

delivery, to an eligible absentee elector who lives outside the county in which the election is held and is also a member of the armed forces of the United States, a member of the merchant marine of the United States or a spouse or dependent of a member of the armed forces or the merchant marine residing with or accompanying said member, an absentee ballot for such primary as well as for any runoffs resulting therefrom and for the election for which such primary shall nominate candidates. Further, such application for an absentee ballot to be used in any election shall be sufficient to require the sending and delivery of an absentee ballot for any runoffs resulting from such election. In any event, a separate and distinct application for an absentee ballot shall be required for the presidential preference primary held pursuant to Article 5 of this chapter and for any special election or special primary.
(2) A properly executed registration card submitted under the provisions of subparagraph (b)(2)(A) of Code Section 21-2-217, if submitted within 90 days of a primary or election in which the registrant is entitled to vote, shall be considered to be an application for an absentee ballot under this Code section, or for a special absentee ballot under Code Section 21-2-381.1, as appropriate. (b) Upon receipt of a timely application, a registrar shall enter thereon the date received and shall determine if the applicant is eligible to vote in the primary or election involved. If found eligible, the registrar shall certify by signing in the proper place on the application and shall either mail the ballot as provided in this Code section or deliver the ballot to the elector within the confines of the registrar's office or deliver the ballot in person to the elector if he is confined to a hospital. If found ineligible, the board of registrars shall deny the application by writing the reason for rejection in the proper space on the application and shall promptly notify the applicant in writing of the ground of his ineligibility, a copy of which notification should be retained on file in the office of the board of registrars for at least one year. If the registrar is unable to determine the identity of the elector from information given on the application, he should promptly write to request additional information. In the case of an unregistered applicant who is eligible for absentee registration, the board shall immediately mail a blank registration card as provided by Code Section 21-2-230, and such applicant, if otherwise qualified, shall be deemed eligible to vote by absentee ballot in such primary or election, if the registration card, properly completed, is returned to the board on or before the last day for registering to vote in such primary or election. If the closing date for registration in the primary or election concerned has not passed, the registrar shall also mail a ballot to the applicant, as soon as it is prepared and available; and the ballot shall be cast therein if returned to the board not later than the close of the polls on the day
of the primary or election concerned. (c) In those counties in which the board of registrars provides application forms for
absentee ballots, the board shall provide such quantity of the application form to the dean of each college or university located in that county as said dean determines necessary for the students of his college or university.
(d) (1) A citizen of the United States permanently residing outside the United States is entitled to make application for an absentee ballot from Georgia and to vote
by absentee ballot in any election for presidential electors, United States senator, and representative in Congress:
(A) If he was last domiciled in Georgia immediately before his departure from
the United States; and (B) If he could have met all qualifications, except any qualification relating to
minimum voting age, to vote in federal elections even though, while residing outside
the United States, he does not have a place of abode or other address in Georgia. (2) An individual is entitled to make application for an absentee ballot under para-
graph (1) of this subsection even if his intent to return to Georgia may be uncertain, as long as:

This ballot shall be for presidential electors, United States senator, and representative in Congress.
(b) The application for a special write-in absentee ballot may be made on the federal post card application form or on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State.
(c) In order to qualify for a special write-in absentee ballot, the voter must state that he or she is unable to vote by regular absentee ballot or in person due to requirements of military service or due to living in isolated areas or extremely remote areas of the world. This statement may be made on the federal post card application or on a form prepared by the Secretary of State and supplied and returned with the special write-in absentee ballot.
(d) Upon receipt of said application, the superintendent shall issue the special writein absentee ballot which shall be prescribed and provided by the Secretary of State. Such ballot shall permit the elector to vote by writing in a party preference for each office, the names of specific candidates for each office, or the name of the person whom the voter prefers for each office."
Section 12. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 21-2-504, relating to special primaries or elections under certain situations, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 21-2-504 to read as follows:
"21-2-504.

If a special primary will not be held and unless otherwise provided by law, the call of a special election shall be made within 45 days after the occurrence of the vacancy."
Section 13. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 21-2-540, relating to manner of conduct of special elections generally, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 21-2-540 to read as follows:
"21-2-540.

"21-2-137. No person shall qualify with any political party as a candidate for nomination to any public office when such person has qualified for the same primary with another political party as a candidate for nomination by that party for any public office; nor shall a state executive committee or county executive committee of any political party certify any person as the candidate of that party when such person has previously qualified as a candidate for nomination for any public office for the same primary with another political party. No person shall file a notice of candidacy as an independent or political body candidate for any public office when such person has qualified for the same office to be filled at the same election with any political party; nor shall any person qualify with any political party when such person has filed a notice of candidacy as an independent or political body candidate for the same office to be filled at the same election."
Section 2. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety subsection (a) of Code Section 21-3-91, relating to filing notices of candidacy under the "Georgia Municipal Election Code," and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:

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 person is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall, within 15 days, forward the person's driver's license and the record of the disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety.

(2) If the person is not convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall return the driver's license to the person, unless the person refused to submit to a blood alcohol test as required by Code Section 40-5-55. If the person refused to sub mit to such test, the driver's license shall be forwarded to the Department of Public Safety for disposition in accordance with Code Section 40-5-55 unless the person 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.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

this subparagraph only, an accepted plea of nolo contendere, with no conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 within the previous five years, shall not be considered a conviction; how ever, the court having jurisdiction shall forward, as provided in Code Section 40-6-391.1, the record of such disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety and the record of such disposition shall be kept on file for the purpose of considering and counting such accepted plea of nolo contendere as a conviction under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph;
(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. Such license shall be rein stated if the person submits proof of completion of a certified and approved advanced alcohol or drug program from an approved driver improvement clinic and pays a restoration fee of $25.00. For the purposes of this subparagraph, a plea of
nolo contendere and all prior accepted pleas of nolo contendere within five years shall be considered and counted as convictions; and
(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 person's driver's license as provided
in Code Section 40-5-58 and Code Section 40-5-62. For the purposes of this subpara graph, a plea of nolo contendere and all prior accepted pleas of nolo contendere within five years shall be considered and counted as convictions.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection which pro vide for the early reinstatement of a person's driver's license, the Department of Pub lic 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 person 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

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.

and who has not had his driver's license suspended under Code Section 40-5-72 may apply to the Department of Public Safety for a limited driving permit.
(b) Applications for limited driving permits shall be made upon such forms as the
commissioner may prescribe. 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.
(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:

(3) If there was at that time 0.10 percent or more by weight of alcohol in the person's blood, it shall be presumed that the person was under the influence of alcoholj as prohibited by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-6-391.;

"40-6-393.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1983

1929

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 Senate 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 is assessed and shall be taxed on a levy made by each respective tax jurisdiction according to said assessment.
fb} (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 than 40 percent except as necessary to effect the preferential assessment provided in subsection (b) of this Code section.
{} (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) Excludes the entire value of any residence located on the property, (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:

1930

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(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 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;

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1983

1931

(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 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. (m) The Commissioner shall annually submit a report to the Governor and members of the General Assembly which shall show the fiscal impact of the preferential assess ment provided for in this Code section. The report shall include the amount of assessed value eliminated from each county's digest as a result of the preferential assessment; approximate tax dollar losses, by county, to all local governments affected by such pref erential assessment; and any recommendations regarding state and local administration of this Code section, with emphasis upon enforcement problems, if any, attendant with this Code section. The report shall also include any other data or facts which the com missioner deems relevant."
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.

Representative Burruss of the 20th moved that the House agree to the Senate substi tute to HB 230.

A BILL
To amend Part 9 of Article 8 of Chapter 2 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certain classifications of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, so as to provide that persons who become employees of the state as a result of a county probation system of any county of this state having a population of less than 550,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census becoming a part of the state-wide probation system shall have the right to remain members of local retirement systems under certain conditions; to define the term "local retirement system"; to provide that such employees may become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and may transfer certain service as an employee of a county probation system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia under cer tain conditions; to provide that such employees shall have the additional option of retiring

under a local retirement system if qualified to retire under such system; to provide for control over conflicting laws or ordinances; to provide procedures, requirements, and other matters relative to the foregoing; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 9 of Article 8 of Chapter 2 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certain classifications of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, is amended by adding at the end of said Part 9 a new Code Section 47-2-296 to read as follows:
"47-2-296. (a) As used in this Code section: (1) 'County probation system' means the county probation system of any county
of this state which has a population of less than 550,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census.
(2) 'Local retirement system' means a retirement or pension system maintained by a county which includes as members thereof employees of the county probation sys tem which becomes a part of the state-wide probation system, and the term includes any such retirement or pension created by law or created by ordinance or resolution of the county under the home rule provisions of the Constitution of Georgia. (b) Any person becoming an employee of the state at any time on or after July 1, 1984, as a result of being employed by a county probation system which became a part of the state-wide probation system administered by the Department of Offender Reha bilitation shall have the options and rights provided for by this Code section. The options available to any such employee under this Code section must be exercised within six months after the date the applicable county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system. The option provided by subsection (e) of this Code section must be exercised on or before the date the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide probation system. Any such option shall be exercised by such employee notifying, in writing, the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, the commissioner of offender rehabilitation, the governing authority of the applicable county, and, when applicable, the board of trustees or other managing body of any local retirement system of which the employee is a member. If the employee is a member of a local retirement system, such membership shall continue pending the exercise of an option provided by this Code section. The choice made by an employee in selecting an option provided by this Code section shall be irrevocable and may not at any time thereafter be rescinded or modified. (c) If an employee subject to this Code section was a member of a local retirement system at the time the applicable county probation system became a part of the state wide probation system, such employee may either continue active membership in the local retirement system as provided in this subsection or become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and transfer creditable service as an employee of the local retirement system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia as pro vided in subsection (d) of this Code section. Such employees who qualify under the pro visions of subsection (e) of this Code section shall have the additional option to retire under the local retirement system as provided in said subsection (e). An employee elect ing to continue membership in a local retirement system shall have the right to continue such membership and the salary received by such employee as an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or other state department shall be the salary of such employee for all purposes under the local retirement system. If applicable to any such employee, any county supplement to the state salary of such employee shall be included as salary for the purposes of a local retirement system in which such employee continues membership. Such employee shall continue to pay the employee contributions required under the local retirement system; and, for such purposes, the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or other state department if the employee subsequently becomes employed by another department of the state government may enter into an agreement with the board of trustees or other managing body of the local retirement system whereby the department may deduct such employee contributions from the compensa tion of the employee and pay the amount deducted to the local retirement system.

1952

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Employer contributions for continued membership in the local retirement system shall be computed at the same percentage rate applicable-4o all other state employees and shall be paid by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or by another state depart ment when applicable to the local retirement system. An employee continuing member ship under a local retirement system under this subsection shall retain all rights, benefits, and privileges under the local retirement system in the same manner and to the same extent as if the employee remained an employee of the county. An employee electing to continue membership in a local retirement system shall not be and may not become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
(d) An employee who was a member of a local retirement system as provided in sub section (c) of this Code section may elect to become a member of the Employees' Retire ment System of Georgia. Any such employee so electing may obtain creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia for all accredited service previously rendered as an employee of the applicable local retirement system. For each employee so electing, the governing authority of the applicable county or the board of trustees or other managing body of the applicable local retirement system, within 30 days after receiving the notice provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section, shall pay to the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia a portion of the total employee contributions plus interest made by the employee to the local retirement system. This payment shall be equal to the employee contribution plus interest which would have been accumulated had the employee always been covered by the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. Any additional amount, as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, shall be paid by the local retirement system to a maximum of prior county contributions plus interest. Any further additional sum required will be paid by the local governing authority. These two sums together with the contributions of transferring employees plus interest shall be sufficient to grant the creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by this subsection without creating any accrued liability, as a result of grant ing such creditable service, against the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The employee contributions paid to the board of trustees under this subsection shall be deposited by the board into the annuity savings fund as a credit to the member. Other funds paid to the board of trustees under this subsection shall be deposited by the board into the pension accumulation fund. Upon receiving the payments provided for by this subsection, the board of trustees shall enter the creditable service provided for by this subsection upon the records of the member. The employee contributions in an amount exceeding those necessary to cover the period of creditable service as a state employee under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia shall be refunded to the employee upon application to the board of trustees of the local retirement system. In the event the governing authority of the applicable county and, when applicable, the board of trustees or other managing body of the applicable local retirement system fails to make appropriate payment to the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia in an amount equivalent to the total employee contributions and interest plus an additional amount as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia which, together with the employers' contribu tions and interest, shall be sufficient to grant the creditable services under said Employ ees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by this subsection without creating any accrued liability as a result of granting such creditable service against said Employees' Retirement System of Georgia within the prescribed time, then upon certification to the appropriate state department by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, any state funds due the applicable county shall be withheld until such payments have been made in full to the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
(e) The employees of a county probation system subject to the provisions of this Code section who were members of a local retirement system shall have the additional
option of retiring under the local retirement system if such employees have sufficient
creditable service under the local retirement system to qualify for retirement benefits.
Such option may be exercised by any such employee making application for retirement

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1983

1953

to the board of trustees or other managing body of the local retirement system. Any such employee electing to retire under a local retirement system shall not be eligible to transfer any creditable service under the local retirement system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and, if the employee accepts employment as an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, shall become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia at the time the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide probation system.
(f) If an employee subject to this Code section was not a member of a local retire ment system at the time the applicable county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system, such employee shall become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia effective on the date the county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system. Any such member may purchase as creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia all or any portion of previ ous actual service rendered by the member as an employee of the applicable county pro bation system, except in those instances in which such member has retired or is receiving benefits from a local retirement system. Such creditable service may be pur chased by the member's paying to the board of trustees all employee and employer con tributions, plus regular interest thereon, under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia for the amount of creditable service claimed in an amount sufficient to grant creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by this subsection without creating any accrued liability, as a result of granting such credit able service, against the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The basis for such employee and employer contributions shall be the compensation the member received upon first becoming an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. The time limitation for exercising options provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section shall not apply to the purchase of creditable service under this subsection. Any eligible member may purchase such creditable service at any time during the first five years of membership in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and parts of such credit able service may be purchased from time to time during such five-year period. The board of trustees may establish payment schedules for eligible members to purchase creditable service under this subsection.
(g) To the extent this Code section conflicts with or is inconsistent with the provi sions of a local retirement or pension system affected by this Code section, whether such local retirement or pension system was created by law or by local ordinance, the provi sions of this Code section shall control."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

(1) 'Party in interest' means any person, other than a petitioner, having an interest in property.
(2) 'Petitioner' means any person petitioning for partition of property. (3) 'Property' means lands and tenements sought to be partitioned pursuant to this Subpart 2, relating to statutory partition. (b) Whenever an application is made for the partition of property and any of the parties in interest convinces the court that a fair and equitable division of the property cannot be made by means of metes and bounds because of improvements made thereon, because the premises are valuable for mining purposes or for the erection of mills or other machinery, or because the value of the entire property will be depreciated by the partition applied for, the court shall proceed pursuant to this Code section. (c) The court shall appoint three qualified persons to make appraisals of the prop erty. The average of the three appraisals shall constitute the appraised price of the property for purposes of this Code section. Notice of the amount of the appraised price shall be served on the petitioners and all parties in interest within five days after the appraised price is established. (d) Within 15 days after the appraised price is established, upon request to the court and grant thereof, any petitioner may withdraw as petitioner in the partition action and become a party in interest and any party in interest may become a petitioner in the action. Any petitioner remaining as such after the fifteenth day may be paid, pursuant to this Code section, his respective share of the appraised price corresponding to his respective share of the property. This payment shall constitute complete satisfaction of all of that petitioner's claims to and interest in that property. If no petitioner remains in the partition action after that fifteenth day, the proceeding shall be dismissed, and the petitioners who have withdrawn shall be liable for the costs of the action, including but not limited to the appraisal costs. (e) (1) No sooner than 16 days and no later than 90 days after the appraised price is established, the parties in interest shall tender to the court sufficient sums to pay to petitioners their shares of the appraised price, as determined by their respective shares in the property, or the property shall be subject to public sale pursuant to Code Section 44-6-167. If the property is subject to such public sale, the petitioner and the parties in interest shall be liable for appraisal costs under this Code section in proportion to their respective interests in the property. (2) Each party in interest may pay toward the amount required to purchase any petitioners' shares of the appraised price an amount in proportion to that party's share of the total shares of property of all parties in interest, unless one party in interest authorizes another party in interest to pay some or all of his proportionate share of the shares available for sale. The share of each party in interest in the prop erty shall be increased by the share that party pays toward the purchase of petition ers' shares in the property. (f) Within 95 days after the appraised price is established, unless the property becomes subject to public sale pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection (e) of this Code section, the petitioners shall execute title to the parties in interest for the property in return for payment to the petitioners, from sums tendered to court under subsection (e) of this Code section, of their respective shares of the appraised price. Petitioners and parties in interest shall be liable for costs of the sale and proceedings relating thereto under this Code section in proportion to their respective shares in the property prior to that sale."
Section 2. Said article is further amended by striking Code Section 44-6-167, relating to when land is subject to public sale, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"44-6-167. Whenever a* application is made for the partition ef lands es*& tcncmcnta

In the event lands and tenements sought to be partitioned are not sold pursuant to Code Section 44-6-166.1, the court shall order a public sale of such lands and tenements. The court shall appoint three discreet persons as commission ers to conduct such sale under such regulations and upon such just and equitable terms as it may prescribe. The sale shall take place on the first Tuesday in the month, shall be at the place of public sales in the county in which the land is located, and shall be advertised in some public newspaper once a week for four weeks. This Code section shall not be construed to change the place of sale in those counties where by law sheriffs' sales are required to take place at the courthouse."

2177

(b) Manufacturers and distributors shall include in written notices of factory recalls to new motor vehicle owners and dealers the expected date by which necessary parts and equipment will be available to dealers for the correction of such defects.

10-1-642. Notwithstanding the terms, provisions, or conditions of any agreement of franchise, a manufacturer or distributor selling motor vehicles to dealers is liable for all damages to such motor vehicles before delivery to a carrier or transporter. If a dealer selects the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the dealer upon delivery of the vehicle to the carrier. In every other instance, the risk of loss remains with the franchisor until such time as the dealer or his designee accepts the vehicle from the carrier.
10-1-643. All manufacturers, distributors, and warrantors shall reimburse their deal ers for reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the dealer in defending any action in which the dealer is named as a defendant and in which the allegations set forth in the action are based solely upon claims of alleged defective or negligent manufacture, assem bly, design of new motor vehicles, parts, or accessories, or other functions by the distrib utor, manufacturer, or warrantor which are beyond the control of the dealer. For this Code section to be applicable, the dealer must give notice to the manufacturer, distribu tor, and warrantor within 30 days of the receipt of the action if the manufacturer, dis tributor, or warrantor is not a named defendant in the action. In addition, this Code section only applies to actions in which a judgment or finding of fault is returned only against the manufacturer, distributor, or warrantor or in which the manufacturer, dis tributor, or warrantor enters into an agreement which settles or makes final disposition of the action.
10-1-644. This part shall not be applicable with respect to vehicles shipped or con tracted to be shipped prior to July 1, 1983, pursuant to contracts which contain provi sions which are contrary to matters contained in this part.
Part 4
10-1-650. This part shall be known and may be cited as the 'Motor Vehicle Franchise Continuation and Succession Act.'
10-1-651. (a) Notwithstanding the terms, provisions, or conditions of any franchise and notwithstanding the terms or provisions of any waiver, no franchisor shall cancel, terminate, or fail to renew any franchise with a dealer unless the franchisor:
(1) Has satisfied the notice requirement of subsection (e) of this Code section; and (2) Has good cause for cancellation, termination, or nonrenewal. (b) Notwithstanding the terms, provisions, or conditions of any franchise or the terms or provisions of any waiver, good cause shall exist for the purposes of a termina tion, cancellation, or nonrenewal when there is a failure by the dealer to comply with a provision of the franchise which is both reasonable and of material significance to the franchise relationship, provided the dealer has been notified in writing of the failure within 180 days after the franchisor first acquired knowledge of such failure or after the dealer is given a reasonable opportunity to correct such failure for a period of not less than 180 days. (c) If the failure by the dealer, as defined in subsection (b) of this Code section, relates to the performance of the dealer in sales or service, then good cause shall be defined as the failure of the dealer to comply with reasonable performance criteria established by the franchisor if: (1) The dealer was notified by the franchisor in writing of such failure;

(g) In the event of a termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal by the franchisor pur suant to subsection (c) of this Code section, relating to the performance of the dealer in sales or service, then the franchisor shall pay the dealer a sum equivalent to the rent for the unexpired term of the lease or for one year, whichever is less.

(1) The designated successor gives the franchisor written notice of his or her inten tion to succeed to the ownership interest within 60 days of the owner's death or inca pacity or within a longer period if so provided in the franchise agreement; and
(2) The designated successor agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the franchise. (b) The franchisor may request, and the designated successor shall provide promptly upon said request, personal and financial data that is customarily required by the franchisor to determine whether the succession should be honored. (c) If a franchisor believes that good cause exists for refusing to honor the succession to the ownership interest of an owner by a designated successor of a deceased or inca pacitated owner, the franchisor may, within 60 days following receipt of notice of the designated successor's intent to succeed to the ownership interest of the owner or any personal or financial data which the franchisor has requested, serve upon the designated successor notice of its refusal to honor the succession and of its intent to discontinue the existing franchise with the dealer; however, if the franchisor shall enter into one or
more interim or trial agreements with the designated successor, which interim or trial agreements may not extend more than three years from the owner's death or disability,
then and in such event such notice shall be deemed timely if sent within 60 days of the termination of such interim or trial agreement. The notice must state the specific grounds for the refusal to honor the succession and of its intent to discontinue the exist
ing franchise with the dealer. (d) If a franchisor refuses to honor the succession to the ownership interest of a
deceased or incapacitated owner, then and in such event: (1) The franchisor shall allow the designated successor a reasonable period of time
which shall not be less than six months in which to negotiate a sale of the dealership.
Any such sale shall be subject to Code Section 10-1-653; and (2) Upon termination of the franchise pursuant to such refusal, the provisions of
Code Section 10-1-651 shall apply.

(g) No franchisor shall terminate, cancel, or fail to renew any franchise solely because of the death or incapacity of an owner who is not listed in the franchise as one on whose expertise and abilities the franchisor relied in the granting of the franchise.
(h) This Code section does not preclude a new motor vehicle dealer from time to time designating any person as his or her successor by written instrument filed with the manufacturer or distributor and, if such instrument is currently on file with such manu facturer or distributor, it alone shall determine the succession rights to the management and operation of the dealership.

Where the franchisor rejects a proposed change or sale, the franchisor shall give written notice of his reasons to the new motor vehicle dealer within 60 days. If no such notice is given to the new motor vehicle dealer, the change or sale shall be deemed approved. The franchisor shall have the burden of proof to show that its disapproval is not arbitrary.

(3) To release to any outside party, except under subpoena or as otherwise required by law or in an administrative, judicial, or arbitration proceeding involving the franchisor or dealer, any business, financial, or personal information which may be from time to time provided by the dealer to the franchisor, without the express written consent of the dealer;
(4) To resort to or to use any false or intentionally deceptive advertisement in the conduct of his business as a franchisor in this state;
(5) To make any false or intentionally deceptive statement, either directly or
through any agent or employee, in order to induce any dealer to enter into any agree ment or franchise or to take any action which is prejudicial to that dealer or his busi
ness; (6) To require any dealer to assent prospectively to a release, assignment, nova
tion, waiver, or estoppel which would relieve any person from liability to be imposed
by law or to require any controversy between a dealer and a franchisor to be referred to any person other than the duly constituted courts of the state or the United States

ership, provided the dealer at all times meets any reasonable capital standards deter mined by the franchisor in accordance with uniformly applied criteria and provided no change in the capital structure shall cause a change in the principal management

same line make as handled by the dealer within the dealer's market area; (2) Increase prices of new motor vehicles which the dealer had ordered for consum

2204

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(A) The unfunded actuarial accrued liability over a period of 40 years in the case of a retirement system in existence on January 1, 1983, based on the first actu arial valuation of the retirement system which is made on or after January 1, 1984; or
(B) The unfunded actuarial accrued liability over a period of 30 years in the case of a retirement system which is created or established after January 1, 1983, based on the first actuarial valuation of the retirement system; plus

(D) The increase, if any, in unfunded actuarial accrued liability over a period of 15 years for any such increase which occurs from experience under the actuarial assumptions applicable to the retirement system; plus
(E) The increase, if any, in unfunded actuarial accrued liability over a period of 30 years for any such increase resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions applicable to the retirement system; plus (3) If not otherwise included in the calculations under paragraphs (1) or (2) or (1) and (2) of this subsection:
(A) The amount necessary to amortize over a period of ten years in equal annual installments the increase, if any, in unfunded actuarial accrued liability resulting from benefit increases granted during the year to beneficiaries under the retirement system; or
(B) The amount necessary to pay the amount of increase in benefits granted during the year to beneficiaries under the retirement system on a current disburse ment or pay as you go basis; minus (4) The amount:

This subsection shall not apply to a retirement system to which annual employer contributions are being made in excess of the minimum annual employer contribution required by this Code section.

ARTICLE 4 Part 1
47-20-30. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Amendment' means any amendment, including a substitute bill, made to a
retirement bill by any committee of the House or Senate or by the House or Senate. (2) 'LC number" means that number preceded by the letters 'LC' assigned to a bill
by the Office of Legislative Counsel when that office prepares a bill for a member of the General Assembly.
(3) 'Nonfiscal amendment' means an amendment to a retirement bill having a fis cal impact, which amendment does not change any factor of an actuarial investigation specified in subsection (a) of Code Section 47-20-36.
(4) 'Nonfiscal retirement bill' means any retirement bill other than one defined by paragraph (5) of this Code section.
(5) 'Retirement bill having a fiscal impact' means: (A) Any retirement bill having the effect of creating or establishing a new retire
ment system; or (B) Any retirement bill granting a benefit increase under a retirement system or
affecting employer contributions, employee contributions, the normal cost, or the actuarial accrued liabilities of a retirement system. 47-20-31. No retirement bill may be introduced by any member of the General Assembly unless, at the time of its introduction, the bill has printed thereon in the upper right portion of each page of the bill an LC number. Once a retirement bill is presented by the Office of Legislative Counsel to a member of the General Assembly, neither the Office of Legislative Counsel nor any person shall make any change in the retirement bill prior to its introduction into the General Assembly unless the bill is returned to the Office of Legislative Counsel and that office assigns a new LC number to the bill.
Part 2
47-20-32. (a) A nonfiscal retirement bill may be introduced at any regular session of the General Assembly, but it must be introduced during the first ten days of a regular session. As a condition precedent to the introduction of a nonfiscal retirement bill, the member of the General Assembly who intends to be the primary sponsor of the bill must present an exact copy of the proposed bill, which must bear an LC number, to the state auditor. If the state auditor finds that the proposed bill is a nonfiscal retirement bill, said officer shall provide a written certification to that effect to the member of the Gen eral Assembly who intends to be the primary sponsor of the bill. Such certification shall specifically identify the proposed bill by reference to the LC number. If the proposed bill is introduced into the General Assembly, it shall have attached thereto the original of the certification of the state auditor that the bill is a nonfiscal retirement bill. If the LC number on the bill as offered for introduction is different from the LC number shown on the state auditor's certification or if the bill as offered for introduction does not bear an LC number on each page of the bill, the bill may not be accepted for intro duction by the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk of the House of Representatives, and the bill may not be considered by any committee of the House or Senate or by the House or Senate.
(b) If the state auditor is unable to determine that a proposed retirement bill pre sented to him under subsection (a) of this Code section is a nonfiscal retirement bill, said officer shall not issue a certification under said subsection, and the bill shall be con sidered a retirement bill having a fiscal impact for all purposes under this article.
47-20-33. (a) After its introduction into the General Assembly, a nonfiscal retire ment bill may not be amended in any manner to cause the bill to become a retirement bill having a fiscal impact.

Any such amendment shall be submitted to the state auditor by the chairman of the committee, if a committee amendment, or by the presiding offi cer of the Senate or House if the amendment was made by the Senate or House. If the

2208

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

state auditor certifies in writing that the amendment does not cause the bill to become a retirement bill having a fiscal impact, the bill, as amended, may continue in the legis lative process as any other bill. If the state auditor will not certify that the amendment does not cause the bill to become a retirement bill having a fiscal impact or if the state auditor issues a written opinion that the amendment will cause the bill to become a retirement bill having a fiscal impact, the bill's progress in the legislative process will end, and the bill shall not be considered further by either the House or the Senate and shall not be passed by the General Assembly, and, if passed by the General Assembly, the bill shall not become law and shall be null, void, and of no force or effect and shall stand repealed in its entirety on the first day of July immediately following its enact ment.
(b) If a nonfiscal retirement bill is amended to cause the bill to become a retirement bill having a fiscal impact, the amendment may be removed or changed by the commit tee which made the amendment, if a committee amendment, or by the Senate, if that body made the amendment, or by the House, if that body made the amendment. The version of the bill, with the amendment removed or changed, shall be submitted to the state auditor. If the state auditor certifies in writing that the version of the bill pre sented to that officer is a nonfiscal retirement bill, the bill may continue in the legisla tive process as any other bill, unless it is subsequently amended, and, in that event, this Code section shall apply to the subsequent amendment.
(c) A nonfiscal retirement bill which is not amended during the legislative process may be considered as any other bill.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. It is the intent of this Act to implement certain changes required by Arti cle I, Section I, Paragraph XXVI of the Constitution of the State of Georgia.
Section 2. Article 1 of Chapter 13 of Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to real or personal property which may be exempted from levy and sale, is amended by striking said Article 1 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Article 1 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 1 Part 1
44-13-1. Except as otherwise provided in this article, there shall be exempt from levy and sale by virtue of any process whatever under the laws of this state any real or per sonal property or both of th head ef- a family, ef the guardian er trustee ef a family

value a debtor in the aggregate amount of $5,000.00. No court or ministerial officer in this state shall ever have jurisdiction or authority to enforce any judgment, execution, or decree against property set apart under this Code section, including such improve ments as may be made thereon from time to time, except for taxes, for the purchase money of the property, for labor done on the property, for material furnished for the property, or for the removal of encumbrances on the property.

Should a husband debtor refuse to apply for a homestead an exemption under this article, his wife fa the debtor's spouse, any person acting as hef next -friend on behalf of the minor children of the debtor, or any person acting on behalf of the dependents of the debtor may make such application; and it shall be as binding as if

done by the huabond debtor. Should any trustee er guardian ef * -family ef -miner -emld*e fatt te apply tor an exemption, the jttdge ef the probate ewt ay; upon the appli-

As used in this article, 'dependent' means a person whom the debtor may claim as a dependent for income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 48-7-26.
44-13-43. It shall be the right of the applicant to supplement his exemption by add ing to an amount already set apart, which amount is less than the whole amount of the exemption allowed by the Constitution and th laws of the state this article, enough to make his exemption equal to the whole amount allowed by resorting to the methods for setting apart and valuation of the exemptions provided in this chapter. The proceedings shall be in all respects the same.
44-13-64. (a) Each person seeking the benefit of the exemptions provided in the Constitution ef Georgia this article shall apply by petition to the judge of the probate court of the county in which he resides or in which the mine* bcncficiarioa debtor's minor children or dependents reside when the application is made for their benefit. The petition shall state:
(1) for The debtor for whom the exemption is claimed;
(2) The names and ages of minor children and dependents of the debtor; and {3)--If- fey a guardian er trustee ef a family -ef -miner children, -the -names -ad ages ef-th miner children;

{6} (3) Out of what and whose property exemptions are claimed. The petition shall comply with all the requirements of the laws for the setting apart and valuation of homcotcads and the exemptions provided by this article.
(b) The applicant shall accompany his petition with a schedule containing a minute and accurate description of all real and personal property belonging to the person from whose estate the exemption is to be made so that persons interested may know exactly what is exempted and what is not and also with a list of his creditors and their post office addresses, if known, which must be sworn to by the applicant or his agent.
(c) For a failure to comply with this Code section either in the original petition which may be amended at any time prior to the final proceedings before the judge of the probate court or in the amended petition, the judge shall dismiss the petition.
(d) The applicant shall apply to the judge of the probate court for an order to the county surveyor or, if there is none, to some other surveyor to lay off his homestead any real property of the applicant and to make a plat of the same, which order the judge shall issue at once and give to the applicant.
44-13-65. Whenever the applicant does not possess a sufficient amount of realty located in the county of his residence, he may include in his application tracts of land located in counties other than that of his residence. In such case, the judge of the pro bate court before whom the application is made shall cause the survey, valuation, and plat of the lands lying in counties other than the residence of the applicant to be made by the county surveyor of the county where the lands are located.
44-13-76. It shall be the duty of any person who shall claim the benefit of the exemption allowed in this article to act in perfect good faith. As it is in the power of the debtor claiming an exemption of personal property to conceal part of his property or money and to claim the balance as exempt, it shall be the duty of the debtor, when he shall take steps in the probate court to have an exemption of personal property set off to him, to make a full and fair disclosure of all the personal property, including money, stocks, and bonds, which he may possess at the time. All such money or property which he may hold in excess of the exemption shall be subject to levy and sale for the payment of his just debts. If the money or other personal property which the debtor possesses at the time of his application or at the time he obtains the order of court set ting off exempt property shall be fraudulently concealed or shall not be delivered up for

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1983

2233

the benefit of his creditors, no exemption shall be made in his favor until it shall be so delivered up. All orders of the court obtained by the fraudulent concealment of prop erty or obtained while the debtor had personal property, money, stocks, or bonds which he kept out of the reach of the levying officer or did not in good faith deliver up for the benefit of his creditors shall be null and void and of no effect. In such event, the property set off to the debtor by such order or judgment shall be subject to levy and sale as if no such order or judgment had been rendered; and all property in which the debtor shall have invested the money, stocks, bonds, or personal property fraudulently concealed by him or kept out of the reach of his creditors shall be subject to levy and sale and liable to be sold for the payment of any debt then in existence. The debtor who is guilty of willful fraud in the concealment of part of his property which he pos sessed when he sought the benefit of the exemption shall on account of his fraud lose the benefit of the exemption, and his property shall be subject to the payment of all just debts which he owed at the time such fraud was committed; but the property, when once set off to him by order of the court, shall be exempt as against all debts contracted after that time.
44-13-87. When the schedule has been filed and the application has been made, the judge of the probate court, in order that all persons may know when action will be taken on the petition, shall publish in the newspaper in which the legal advertisements of the county are published, not more than twice, a notice as follows:
'A. B. has applied for exemption of personalty, and setting apart and valuation of homestead realty exempt from levy and sale under Article 1 of Chapter 13 of Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, and I will pass upon the same at _____ M., on the _____ day of _____, 19__, at my office. C. D., Judge of the Probate Court.'
44-13-98. In addition to the notice by publication required to be given by Code Sec tion 44-13-87, the applicant or his agent shall give notice in writing of the filing of the application and of the day of hearing the same to each of his creditors residing in the county. Such notice shall be given at least five days before the hearing and shall be served personally or by leaving a copy at the residence or place of business of his credi tor; and the fact that such notice has been given shall be verified by oath of the appli cant or his agent. The applicant shall also notify creditors residing outside of the county of his application by preparing written notices of his application and the day of hearing, which notices shall be delivered by him to the judge of the probate court together with stamped envelopes and, if the residence of the creditors shall be known to the petitioner, shall be directed by the judge and mailed to the persons residing out of the county at least 15 days before the day of the hearing.
44-13-169. The time fixed by the notice given pursuant to Code Sections 44-13-87 and 44-13-98 shall not be less than 20 nor more than 30 days from the date of the filing of the application and schedule.
44-13-W10. (a) The surveyor to whom the applicant delivers the order pursuant to subsection (d) of Code Section 44-13-64 shall lay off the homestead exempted real prop erty on or out of the land claimed by the applicant and make a plat of the same and shall make an affidavit that the homestead exempted real property is correctly platted and laid off and setting out its value. He shall return the affidavit to the judge of the probate court at least five days before the day appointed in the order for passing upon the application.
(b) It shall be a valid ground of objection to the propriety of any survey that it has been so made as to injure unjustly or needlessly the value of any land left unexampled by a disregard of the shape and location of the entire tract.
(c) Should any county surveyor fail to comply with his duty as prescribed by this Code section, he shall be punished for a contempt of court by the judge of the probate court.
44-13-1211. If, at the time and place appointed for passing upon the application, no objection is raised by any creditor of the applicant, the judge of the probate court shall endorse upon the schedule and upon the plat: 'Approved this the _____ day of _____, 19__,' filling the blanks, and shall sign the schedule and plat officially and

2234

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

hand them to the clerk of the superior court of his county; and, when land out of his county is exempted, the judge shall transmit a certified copy of the homcatcad exempted real property to the clerk of the superior court of each county in which exempted land is located. Each clerk of the superior court of a county in which exempted land is located shall record the homcatcad exempted real property in a book to be kept for that purpose in his office, which record or a certified transcript thereof shall be competent evidence in all the courts of this state.
44-13-4312. Should any creditor of the applicant desire to object to the schedule for want of sufficiency and fullness or for fraud of any kind or to dispute the valuation of the personalty, the propriety of the survey, or the value of the premises so platted as the homcatcad exempted real property, he shall specify his objections in writing at the time and place appointed for the hearing.
44-13-4413. Upon an objection being made as provided for in Code Section 44-13-4312, unless the applicant shall so alter the schedule or plat or both as to remove the objections, the judge of the probate court shall appoint three disinterested apprais ers to examine the property concerning which the objections are made and to value the
same. On the appraisers' return under oath, if either the schedule or the plat shall be found to be too large, such alterations shall be made in the schedule and in the plat as the judge may deem proper to bring them within the limits of the value allowed by
the Constitution ef Georgia this article. Thereafter, the judge shall approve the schedule and the plat as required by Code Section 44-13-4311 and shall hand the same to the clerk of the superior court of his county who shall record the schedule and plat as required by Code Section 44-13-4311. Either party dissatisfied with the judgment shall
have the right to appeal under the same rules, regulations, and restrictions as are pro vided by law in cases of appeals from the probate court.
44-13-4614. (a) If an applicant seeks to have an exemption set apart out of real property located in town which exceeds in value the amount of the exemption which he claims and to which he is entitled to complete his legal exemption and such realty can
not be so divided as to give an exemption of that value, the judge of the probate court may pass an order that, should such property be thereafter sold by virtue of any order,
judgment, or decree of any court in this state, so much of the proceeds of the sale as may be necessary to make up, when added to the other exempted property of the appli
cant, if any, the full amount of the exemption allowed by law shall be paid over to the judge of the probate court by the officer making the sale to be invested in property selected by the applicant by some proper person appointed by such judge, which prop
erty shall constitute the exemption of the applicant or a part thereof, as the case may be, after the order of the probate court and the deed of reinvestment have been recorded by the clerk of the superior court.
(b) Should any ministerial officer of this state, upon being shown a certified copy of
the order of the judge of the probate court provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section, fail to retain and pay over to such judge the proceeds as required or should any such judge receiving the proceeds fail to appoint the person required to have the pro
ceeds invested and fail to turn over the proceeds to the person so appointed, such officer or judge and his sureties shall be liable to the applicant for the full amount of the
money and 20 percent interest thereon for the period of time he wrongfully withholds the money or any part thereof.
44-13-4615. When any person applies for an exemption of personalty and the person
alty sought to be exempted consists of cash in whole or in part, before the cash shall be allowed as an exemption, it shall, under the direction of the judge of the probate
court, be invested in such articles of personal property as the applicant may desire; when so invested and returned by schedule with or without other property as required
by this article, such property shall constitute the exemption of personalty. In no case shall the allowance of cash without such investment be a valid exemption.
44-13-4?16. (a) Whenever the debtor and Ma apouac, tf any; shall jointly desire the
exempted property, whether real or personal, to be sold for reinvestment, an application for the sale of the property must be made to the judge of the superior court of the
county where the debtor resides or the property is situated unless the judge is disquali fied, in which case application may be made to the judge of the superior court of an

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1983

2235

adjoining circuit. Upon proper showing, the judge may order a sale of the property; and the proceeds shall be reinvested upon the same uses.
(b) A sale ordered pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section shall operate to pass to the purchaser the entire interest and title of the beneficiaries in the exempted property and also the entire interest and title owned, before the exemption was made, by the party out of whose estate the property was so exempted.
(c) The purchaser shall receive the property sold and shall hold the same, as to all liens thereon against the original debtor and with the same exemption therefrom, for the same length of time as was allowed to the original debtor before the sale; and, by con sent of all lien creditors, the liens of such creditors may be divested and transferred to the newly acquired property by the order of the court pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section.

The following Bill of the House was taken up for the purpose of considering the Sen ate substitute thereto:

HB 532. By: Representative Murphy of the 18th: A BILL to amend Code Section 20-2-250 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to capital outlay funds for educational facilities, so as to provide that projections of average daily attendance shall include nonresident pupils whether or not such nonresident pupils attend school pursuant to a contract between local units of administra tion; and for other purposes.

The following Senate substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Code Section 20-2-250 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to capital outlay funds for educational facilities, so as to provide that projections of aver age daily attendance shall include nonresident pupils whether or not such nonresident pupils attend school pursuant to a contract between local units of administration; to pro vide that required local participation in these projects shall be calculated on the basis of the formula that existed in the year the entitlement occurred; to remove the total local funding authorized for capital outlay projects; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other pur poses.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 20-2-250 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to capital outlay funds for educational facilities, is amended by striking therefrom para graph (5) of subsection (c) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (5) to read as follows:
"(5) To develop a state-wide needs assessment for purposes of planning and develop ing policies, anticipating state-wide needs for educational facilities, and providing assist ance to local units in developing educational facilities plans. The state-wide needs assessment shall be developed from, among other sources, vital statistics published by the Department of Human Resources, census data published by the Bureau of the Cen sus, local unit educational facilities and real property inventories, educational facilities surveys, average daily attendance projection research, and educational facilities construc tion plans; and shall reflect the demand areas for capital outlay. In addition, the State Board of Education shall develop a consistent, systematic research approach to average

2248

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

daily attendance projections which will be used in the development of needs within each local unitj but such projections shall not be confined to resident pupils in average daily attendance but shall be based on average daily attendance which includes nonresident pupils, whether or not such nonresident pupils attend school pursuant to a contract between local units of administration. The non-resident projection shall be the most recent five-year ADA average. The survey team will use such projections in determining the improvements needed for the five-year planning period. The state board shall also develop schedules for allowable square footage and cost per square foot. The cost esti mate for each recommended improvement included in the plan shall be based on these schedules. Any increase in cost or square footage for a project beyond that allowed by state board schedules for such projects shall be the responsibility of the local unit and shall not count toward present or future required local participation;".
Section 2. Said Code section is further amended by striking therefrom subsection (g) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (g) to read as follows:
"(g) (1) Effective Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, effective July 1, 1983, the state and each local unit of administration shall provide capital out lay funds for educational facilities in accordance with this subsection as follows:
{1} (A) The required local participation shall be 25 percent of the eligible project cost as modified by the local ability index and annual debt service. The local ability index shall be determined by dividing the amount of the local unit's equalized adjusted school property tax digest per resident pupil in average daily attendance by the total amount of the state-wide equalized adjusted school property tax digest per total resident average daily attendance. The resulting index shall be multiplied by 25 percent of the cost of the eligible construction project to determine the required local participation. A local unit may reduce its required local participation by an amount equal to no more than 75 percent of annual debt service payments of interest and principal on local bonds issued for eligible construction projects. Regardless of the above, no local unit's required local participation shall be less than 10 percent nor greater than 25 percent of the cost of an eligible construction project except as provided in paragraph (2) of this Code section; and
{2} (B) Eligible construction projects for consolidations as determined in sub section (f) of this Code section shall require no local funds; provided, however, that the state shall participate in no more than 25 percent of the cost of construction projects related to damage to educational facilities caused by fire or natural disaster. (2) Any local unit of administration which did not use its entitlements prior to July lj 1983, shall have its required local participation calculated based on the law as it existed in the year in which the entitlement accrued."
Section 3. Said Code section is further amended by striking therefrom paragraph (4) of subsection (h) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (4) of subsec tion (h) to read as follows:
"(4) In order to determine the amount of state funds to be requested for a given fis cal year, total new and accrued entitlements must be compared to the state portion of the current cost estimates of the projects approved in the educational facilities plan in priority order. The above comparison shall be made for each of the incremental entitlement levels required in paragraph (1) of this Code section. In the event that projects requested for funding exceed the total state entitlements and required local par ticipation, local units may elect to contribute additional local funding; provided that the touu Or ftH loccu funding docs ftot exceed ow percent 'Ox "tfte ciiHn6 project costs* i^ocfli funds contributed in excess of required local participation may be credited toward required local participation in subsequent years, provided that the requested state appropriation for this subsection shall not exceed $100 million annually and, if neces sary, the new entitlement level shall be reduced to comply with this limitation."
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following House amendment to the Senate substitute was read:

The State Board of Edu cation's responsibilities shall include the following:
(1) To adopt policies, guidelines, and standards for the annual physical facility and real property inventory required of each local unit. This inventory shall include, but not be limited to: parcels of land; number of educational facilities; year of con struction and design; size, number, and type of construction space; amount of instructional space in permanent and temporary buildings; local property assessment for bond purposes; outstanding school bonds and annual debt service; and buildings and facilities not in use or rented or leased to individuals or other agencies of gov ernment, or used for other than instructional programs required by this article, each identified by its current use. Department of Education staff shall review, certify the accuracy of, and approve each local unit's inventory;
(2) To adopt policies, guidelines, and standards for educational facilities plans required of local units. Local unit educational facilities plans shall include, but not be limited to, a list of construction projects currently eligible for state capital outlay funds, if any; educational facilities projected for abandonment, if any; educational facilities projected as needed five years hence; proposed construction projects for modernization, renovation, and energy retrofitting; proposed construction projects for the purpose of merging small, inefficient educational facilities, if any; and other construction projects needed to house the instructional program required by provi sions of this article;

2251

efficient, and economical educational facilities. Educational facilities having at least 200 pupils in grades K through 7 or any combination thereof, facilities having at least 400 pupils in grades 5 through 9 or any combination thereof, facilities having at least 500 pupils in grades 8 through 12 or any combination thereof, any existing educational facility having a pupil population less than these minimums but housing K through 12, isolated schools, and local units with pupil populations which total less than the above minimums shall be eligible for receipt of state funds for educa tional facilities. The state board may approve construction projects for school facili ties housing fewer students than the above minimum numbers. Existing educational facilities shall be deemed as meeting existing standards except for applicable life safety codes. Except for satisfying the most recent life safety codes, educational facilities undergoing renovations or modernizations shall be considered as meeting existing standards, but additions or expansions to such facilities may be required by the State Board of Education to meet most recent standards in all respects. To encourage an economical facilities policy and continued use of existing buildings wherever feasible, local units may renovate, expand, or modernize existing educa tional facilities rather than abandon or replace them, provided the cost does not exceed the cost of a replacement facility and provided the facility houses at least the minimum pupil population for the grades housed required by this subsection;
(4) To develop a state-wide needs assessment for purposes of planning and developing policies, anticipating state-wide needs for educational facilities, and pro viding assistance to local units in developing educational facilities plans. The state wide needs assessment shall be developed from, among other sources, vital statistics published by the Department of Human Resources, census data published by the Bureau of the Census, local unit educational facilities and real property inventories, average daily attendance projection research, and educational facilities plans, and shall reflect the demand areas for capital outlay. In addition, the State Board of Education shall develop a consistent, systematic research approach to average daily attendance projections which will be used in the development of needs within each local unit, but such projections shall not be confined to resident pupils in average daily attendance but shall be based on average daily attendance which includes non resident pupils, whether or not such nonresident pupils attend school pursuant to a contract between local units of administration. The nonresident projection shall be based on average daily attendance over the most recent five-year period. Educa tional facilities plans will use such projections in determining the improvements needed for the five-year planning period. The state board shall also develop sched ules for allowable square footage and cost per square foot. The cost estimate for each recommended improvement included in the plan shall be based on these sched ules. Any increase in cost or square footage for a project beyond that allowed by state board schedules for such projects shall be the responsibility of the local unit and shall not count toward present or future required local participation;
(5) To adopt policies, standards, and guidelines to ensure that the provisions of subsections (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) of this Code section relating to uses of state capi tal outlay funds, state and local share of costs, entitlements, allocation of capital outlay funds, advance funding for certain construction projects, and consolidation of high schools across local unit lines are carried out;
(6) To review and approve proposed sites and all architectural and engineering drawings and specifications on construction projects for educational facilities to ensure compliance with state standards and requirements, and inspect and approve completed construction projects financed in whole or in part with state funds, except construction projects constructed under supervision of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission. The State Board of Education may desig nate selected local units which have staff qualified for such purposes to act on behalf of the Department of Education in such inspections, when the project is not under the direction of Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission;
(7) To coordinate construction project reviews with the state fire marshal's office
and the Department of Human Resources; and

2252

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(8) To provide procedures to ensure local units the right to revise their educa tional facilities plans or the priority order of construction projects requested in order to reflect changes in law, state policy, or local conditions which have occurred after completion and approval of the educational facilities plan by the state board. Each local unit which has completed or has an approved educational facilities plan on July 1, 1983, may, in its discretion, change that plan or any priorities within it and submit the same to the state board without developing a new educational facili ties plan and the state board shall approve such plan provided it meets the require ments of this Code section and the estimated costs do not exceed those in the original plan. (d) In the event any local unit of administration enters into a lease contract with the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission for the use of facilities of the authority or commission pursuant to a commitment by the State Board of Educa tion for future allotments of state capital outlay funds, the State Board of Education, upon receipt of an executed copy of said lease contract, is authorized and directed to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually to the commission such part of such funds to be made available to the local unit of administration under this Code section as may be required to meet the terms of such lease contract. The State Board of Education is empowered and directed to withhold any fund allocations to any local unit of adminis tration for failure to comply with any provision of this Code section or policies, guide lines, or standards adopted by said board for the purpose of implementing the requirements of this Code section.
(e) In order to qualify for and receive state capital outlay funds in accordance with provisions of subsections (h), (i), and (j) of this Code section, each local unit must meet the following conditions and requirements:
(1) Prepare and annually update an educational facilities and real property inventory in accordance with provisions of subsection (c) of this Code section;
(2) Complete a local educational facilities plan. The local educational facilities plan shall be prepared in accordance with provisions of subsection (c) of this Code section. Each proposed construction project shall be identified according to the pur poses for capital outlay funds as provided in subsection (f) of this Code section. Each local unit shall specify the order of importance of all proposed construction projects. When two or more local units agree on the need for a consolidation project pursuant to subsection (f) of this Code section, the estimated construction cost shall be prorated to the participating local units and included with their identification of needs in accordance with the proportion of the number of students to be served from each local unit;
(3) Submit requests for capital outlay funds, and provide required local partici
pation; (4) Submit proposed educational facility sites and all architectural and engineer
ing drawings and specifications for educational facilities to the Department of Edu
cation for review and approval in accordance with provisions of subsection (c) of this Code section; and
(5) Revise the local educational facilities plan and priority order of requested construction projects in accordance with provisions of subsection (c) of this Code
section. Until July 1, 1984, local units which have not either initiated or completed educa
tional facilities plans shall be eligible for state capital outlay funds for construction projects as determined by the State Board of Education.
(f) State capital outlay funds for educational facilities appropriated in accordance with provisions of this Code section shall be used for the following purposes:
(1) To provide construction projects needed because of increased pupil attend ance or to replace educational facilities which have been abandoned or destroyed by
fire or natural disaster and which shall consist of new buildings and facilities on new sites or new additions to existing buildings and facilities, or relocation of existing
educational facilities or portions thereof on different sites;

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1983

2253

(2) To provide construction projects to renovate or modernize educational facili ties in order to correct deficiencies which produce educationally obsolete, unsafe, inaccessible, energy deficient, or unsanitary physical environments;
(3) To provide construction projects for new additions to existing educational facilities or relocation of existing educational facilities or portions thereof on differ ent sites in order to house changes in the instructional program required under pro visions of this article or new educational facilities on new sites or new additions to existing ones as a result of internal population shifts or changes in attendance zones within the local unit;
(4) To provide construction projects to merge educational facilities which have fewer pupils than required for the minimum school population by the State Board of Education or which are too expensive to renovate or modernize due to obsoles cence or location and which shall consist of new educational facilities on new sites, new additions to existing sites, or relocation of existing educational facilities or por tions thereof on different sites;
(5) To pay the principal, less required local participation, on permanent type construction projects which have met criteria for eligibility and qualification as set forth in subsections (c), (e), (f), and (g) of this Code section and have been con structed wholly with local funds, provided such construction projects were initiated after July 1, 1977;
(6) To provide construction projects for consolidations across local unit lines as determined in subsection (j) of this Code Section; and
(7) To reimburse local units of administration for current principal payments on local indebtedness for state approved construction projects for educational facilities. No local unit may request funds for the purposes of this paragraph unless and until all construction projects identified in its construction plan for the purposes of para graphs (1) through (5) of this subsection have been completed. Each local unit shall prioritize construction projects from the foregoing list, in its discretion. A construc tion project which embraces more than one purpose and includes additions together with renovations or modernizations shall be listed under the purpose having the greater share of cost.
(g) Effective January 1, 1984, capital outlay funds for educational facilities shall be provided in accordance with this subsection as follows:
(1) The required local participation shall be 25 percent of the eligible cost of each construction project as modified by the local ability index and annual debt ser vice. The local ability index shall be determined by dividing the amount of the local unit's equalized adjusted school property tax digest per resident pupil in average daily attendance by the total amount of the state-wide equalized adjusted school property tax digest per total resident average daily attendance. The resulting index shall be multiplied by 25 percent of the cost of the eligible construction project to determine the required local participation. A local unit may reduce its required local participation by an amount equal to no more than 75 percent of one year's annual debt service payments of interest and principal on local bonds issued for eligible construction projects for educational facilities. If a local unit requests funds for more than one construction project in a given fiscal year, it may either apply the debt service payments toward required local participation to one project or prorate it equally over all those requested. In no event, however, shall a local unit's required local participation be less than 10 percent nor greater than 25 percent of the cost of an eligible construction project except as provided in paragraph (2) of this sub section; and
(2) Eligible construction projects for consolidations across local unit lines as determined in subsection (j) of this Code section shall require no local funds; pro vided, however, that the state shall participate in no more than 25 percent of the cost of construction projects for educational facilities which have been damaged or destroyed by fire or natural disaster.
(h) (1) Each year the state board shall compute the sum of all eligible educa tional facilities needs in the state. The state-wide eligible facilities needs shall

2254

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

include and be limited to the following: the totals of each local unit's planned con struction projects in its most recent approved five-year educational facilities plan and any amendments thereto, excluding construction projects for which funds have already been appropriated, together with an amount equal to five times the current year's debt service payments for retiring bonds issued to finance construction projects for eligible educational facilities. The sum of each local unit's needs shall be referred to as the local unit's eligible facilities needs.
(2) Each year the state board shall adopt a proposed state-wide entitlement level, which may not exceed $100,000,000.00, and which shall include at least three alternate lower proposed entitlement levels. Each local unit shall then be granted a proposed local unit entitlement equal to the percentage of each proposed state wide entitlement level that the local unit's eligible facilities needs bear to the total state-wide facilities needs that year. The state department shall notify each local unit of its proposed entitlements for each proposed level, and those local units requesting construction projects shall then submit applications requesting state funds at each proposed entitlement level for projects which are eligible and qualified by having been included as a priority on the local unit's facilities plan, been approved by the state board, and for which required local participation and any additional local funds are available which are necessary for completion of such con struction projects. Construction projects requested under provisions of subsections (i) and (j) of this Code section shall be identified and separated from others. Local units may request funds based on entitlements accrued from previous years for which appropriations have not been requested, as well as those available in the pro posed entitlement level. Any change in the method of determining entitlements in subsequent years shall in no way affect the amount of previously accrued entitlements.
(3) The state board shall compile the applications for construction projects sub mitted for each proposed state-wide entitlement level and shall separate applica tions for construction projects requested under provisions of subsections (i) and (j) of this Code section each from the others. These requests shall then be submitted as part of the state board's budgetary request for appropriations, with construction projects requested under provisions of subsections (i) and (j) of this Code section each separated from the others.

"15-2-10. As used in Code Sections 15-2-11 through 15-2-15, the term 'court as a whole' means the Supreme Court when not sitting or acting in divisions, and such court shall consist of four or more Justices.
15-2-11. The court may, in its discretion, sit either for the hearing or for the decision of cases as a whole, of which not less than four Justices shall constitute a quorum or, for like purposes, in separate divisions of at least three Justices each. Whenever three Justices are assigned to a division, two of them shall constitute a quorum for that divi sion.
15-2-12. (a) It shall be the duty of the Chief Justice to separate the court into two divisions, designating which Justices shall compose each. The personnel of each division, under the direction of the Chief Justice and in accordance with such rules as the court may prescribe, shall be changed from time to time so that the two divisions will not become permanent in their constituency.
(b) The division of which the Chief Justice is a member shall be known and distin guished as the 'First Division,' and he shall be its Presiding Justice. The other division shall be known and distinguished as the 'Second Division,' and its Presiding Justice shall be designated by the Chief Justice.
(c) Whenever the Chief Justice is absent or disqualified, any duty devolving specially upon him shall be performed by the Presiding Justice who has been elected pursuant to Article VI, Section VI, Paragraph I of the Constitution of this state.
15-2-13. Either division of the court shall have the power to issue the writ of manda mus or to take any other action necessary to the perfection of records, according to the practice of the court. Either division may render a final judgment in any case argued before it, and the judgment shall have the same force and effect as if rendered by the court as a whole. Nevertheless, the court shall, as far as practicable, endeavor so to con duct its proceedings as to have the concurrence of all the justices Justices in all judg ments rendered except in cases where there is an express dissent upon the part of one or more of them.
15-2-14. Every case argued before either division may be considered and decided by the court as a whole, or any one or more Justices of the other division may participate in the decision thereof without further argument. Where, for any reason, a case is heard in a division by only two Justices, the Chief Justice shall direct one or more Justices of the other division to participate in deciding it or direct that it be decided by the court as a whole.
15-2-15. Whenever any Justice in a division differs from the other two Justices as to any particular case pending before the division, the case shall go to the court as a whole for decision. Whenever the court as a whole decides a case which has been argued before one division only, it may, upon its own motion, but not otherwise, order a reargument therein.", in their entirety.
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 15-2-16, relating to reversal and affirmance of cases, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:

least thfee four shall be essential to the rendition of a judgment; and, if only four Jus tices act upon a case and they are evenly divided, the case shall be reargued before a full bench, if possible, before the term closes; and, if not possible, the judgment of the court below shall stand affirmed."
Section 4. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 15-2-17, relating to the rules promulgated by the Supreme Court, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 15-2-17 to read as follows:
"15-2-17.

To these ends it may, by rules, provide and declare when the court shall sit body and when separate divisions, how its minutes shall be kept, and how the cases upon its
what extent changea ahaH be made m the personnel thereof; and it generally may make all regulations as to practice and procedure which experience may show to be convenient and expedient for the proper transaction of its business, with due regard to the rights of the parties and counsel concerned."
Section 5. Said title is further amended by striking paragraph (3) of Code Section 15-2-43, relating to duties of the clerk, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (3) to read as follows:
"(3) To keepi well-bound books, fair and regular minutes of the court's proceed ings, a record of its judicial acts, a docket of its cases, and such other books as the court may require;".
Section 6. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 15-5-20, which reads as follows:
"15-5-20. (a) There is created the Judicial Council of the State of Georgia. The council shall be composed of 11 members, nine of whom shall be judges of courts of record of the state.

(b) In the event a vacancy occurs in the judicial membership of the council as a result of the death, resignation, retirement, removal, or failure of reelection as a judge of a court of record, the remaining members of the council shall elect a qualified person to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term of the member whose seat is vacant. The person elected to fill the vacancy shall take office immediately upon his election.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. The General Assembly finds and declares that treatment of psychological problems of persons residing within the community would in some cases be advanced by temporary hospitalization. The interests of the people of this state demand that all appro priate resources, including inpatient facilities, be available to assist in the diagnosis, pre vention, treatment, and amelioration of psychological problems and emotional and mental disorders. The General Assembly recognizes that psychology is an independent health pro fession as set forth and prescribed by the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists and Chapter 39 of Title 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. It is therefore the intent of the General Assembly, in enacting this Act, to authorize medical facilities and institu tions, on local determination, to make psychological services available in an inpatient set ting.
Section 2. Chapter 7 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the regulation of hospitals and health care facilities, is amended by adding a new article immediately after Article 7, to be designated as Article 8, to read as follows:

31-7-161. A medical facility or institution may provide for the appointment of health service provider psychologists on such terms and conditions as the medical facility or institution shall establish. Psychologists shall be eligible to hold membership and serve on committees of the medical or professional staff and may possess clinical privileges

Nothing in this article shall prohibit a psychologist currently a member of a hospital staff or an employee of a hospital from continuing to work in that capacity. 31-7-164. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the exercise of privi leges in any medical facility or institution may be limited, restricted, or revoked for rea sons including, but not limited to, the violation of such medical facility's or institution's rules, regulations, or procedures which are applied, in good faith, in a nondiscriminatory manner to all practitioners in such medical facility or institution exercising such privi leges or entitled to exercise such privileges. 31-7-165. When any health service provider psychologist is denied staff privileges or is removed from the medical or professional staff, such action shall be reported by the facility to the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"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 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 jit the expiration of his sentence less the time deducted for good-time allowances.
(c) Commencing January 1^ 1984, 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 December 31, 1983, and all inmates who commit crimes on or after January 1^ 1984, and are subsequently convicted and sentenced to confinement as county inmates. Conversion of the computation of the sentences of county inmates in confinement on December 31, 1983, from earned-time governed sentences to goodtime governed sentences shall be made by the sheriff or other custodian of such inmates."
Section 2. Said title is further amended by striking Code Sections 42-5-100 and 42-5-101, relating to the awarding of earned-time allowances to inmates, in their entirety, which 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

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1983

2301

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 of misdemeanor offenses shall accrue earned-time allowances equal to one-half of the total misdemeanor sentence. This same earned-time allowance shall apply to inmates confined as county inmates as provided in paragraph (1) of sub section (a) of Code Section 17-10-3. Computation of this earned-time allowance shall be made by the sheriff of the county or the chief jailer, warden, or other officer designated by the county as custodian of such inmates.
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.
(b) Commencing September 1, 1978, Code Section 42-5-100, which provides for earned-time allowances to be awarded to inmates based upon the performance of the inmate, shall apply to persons convicted of misdemeanor offenses who are confined in county facilities prior to July 1, 1976, under the jurisdiction of the county as provided in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 17-10-3. Conversion of the computa tion of the sentences of those persons from good-time and extra good-time governed sen tences to earned-time governed sentences shall be made by the sheriff of the county,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

chief jailer, warden, or other officer designated by the county as custodian of the inmate in the same manner and pursuant to the same schedule as the commissioner is directed to do for persons sentenced to the state penal system prior to July 1, 1976, by subsec tion (a) of this Code section.", and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"42-5-100. The earned-time allowances, which could have been awarded by the Board of Offender Rehabilitation to inmates based upon the performance of the inmate, in effect on December 31, 1983, shall not apply to:
(1) Those persons who commit crimes on or after January 1, 1984, and who are subsequently convicted and sentenced to the custody of the Board of Offender Reha bilitation;
(2) Those persons who have committed a crime prior to January 1, 1984, but who have not been convicted and sentenced as of December 31, 1983, and who are subse quently sentenced to the custody of the Board of Offender Rehabilitation, including those whose sentences have been probated or suspended, on or after January 1, 1984; however, such persons shall receive the full benefit of the earned-time allowances, in effect on December 31, 1983, and shall receive a release or discharge date computed as if they had been sentenced to the custody of the Board of Offender Rehabilitation, prior to December 31, 1983; or
(3) Those persons previously sentenced to the custody of the Board of Offender Rehabilitation, including those whose sentences shave been probated or suspended, as of December 31, 1983; however, such persons shall receive the full benefit of the earned-time allowances in effect on December 31, 1983, and shall receive a release or discharge date the same as reflected in the records of such person on December 31, 1983, less any creditable earned time that such person could have earned as a result of forfeited earned time."
Section 3. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 4. This Act shall become effective on January 1, 1984.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 4 of Title 26 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to pharmacists and pharmacies, is amended by striking Part 5 thereof, the "Third-party Prescription Program Act," which reads as follows:
"Part 5 26-4-140. This part shall be known as the 'Third-party Prescription Program Act.' 26-4-141. The General Assembly finds that certain practices are unfair to providers of pharmaceutical services, are burdensome and costly to those providers, result in unfair increased costs to certain consumers, and threaten the availability of pharmaceu tical services to the public. The General Assembly further finds that there is a need for regulation of certain practices engaged in by some third-party prescription program administrators. 26-4-142. As used in this part, the term 'third-party prescription program" means any system of providing for the reimbursement of pharmaceutical services under a contrac tual arrangement or agreement between a provider of the services and another party who is not the consumer of those services. The programs may include, but not be limited to, employee benefit plans whereby a consumer receives prescription drugs or other pharmaceutical services and those services are paid for by an agent of the employer or others. 26-4-143. After April 8, 1980, no third-party prescription programs shall be instituted in this state unless:
(1) The program administrator has given written notice of the provisions of the particular program to all pharmacies in this state; and
(2) All pharmacies in this state have had 30 days from the date of said notice to enroll in the particular program. 26-4-144. Any agreement or contract entered into in this state between the program administrator of a third-party program and a pharmacy shall include a statement of the method and amount of reimbursement to the pharmacy for services rendered to persons enrolled in the program, the frequency of payment by the program administrator to the pharmacy for services rendered, and a method for the adjudication of complaints or the settlement of disputes between the parties. 26-4-145. No agreement between a program administrator and a pharmacy shall establish reimbursement rates or procedures for services rendered to persons covered by the plan which are less than the prevailing rates paid by ordinary consumers for the same or similar services. 26-4-146. (a) At least 30 days prior to the effective date of the cancellation, the administrator of a program shall notify all pharmacies enrolled in the program of any cancellation of the coverage of benefits of any group enrolled in the program. In those cases wherein the administrator of a program is not notified at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the cancellation, he shall notify all pharmacies enrolled in the pro gram of the cancellation as soon as practicable after having received the notice. (b) All persons enrolled in a program shall be notified of its cancellation, and the administrator of the program shall make every reasonable effort to gain possession of any plan identification cards such persons may have been issued pursuant to the provi sions of the program. (c) Any person who utilizes a program identification card to obtain services from a pharmacy after having received notice of the cancellation of his benefits shall be liable to the program administrator for all moneys paid by the program administrator for any services received pursuant to the illegal use of the identification card.

2304

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(g) The planning agency shall, no later than 90 days after an application is declared complete for review, or in the event joinder is ordered pursuant to subsection (d) of this Code section, then 90 days after the last joined application is declared complete for review, provide written notification to an applicant of the planning agency's decision to issue or to deny issuance of a certificate of need for the proposed project. In the event the planning agency has extended the review period pursuant to subsection (c) of this Code section, then the planning agency shall provide such written notification within 120 days after the application, or the last application joined pursuant to subsection (d) of this Code section, was declared complete for review. Such notice shall contain the planning agency's written findings of fact and decision as to each applicable considera tion or rule and a detailed statement of the reasons and evidentiary support for issuing or denying a certificate of need for the action proposed by each applicant. The planning agency shall also mail such notification to the appropriate area planning and develop ment commission and the chief elected official of the county and municipal govern ments, if any, in whose boundaries the proposed project will be located. In the event such decision is to issue a certificate of need, the certificate of need shall be effective on the day of the decision unless the decision is appealed to the review board in accord ance with this chapter.
(h) Should the planning agency fail to provide written notification of the decision within the time limitations set forth in this Code section, an application shall be deemed to have been approved as of the ninety-first day, or the one hundred twenty-first day if the review period was extended pursuant to subsection (c) of this Code section, follow ing notice from the planning agency that an application, or the last of any applications joined pursuant to subsection (d) of this Code section, is declared 'complete for review.'
31-6-44. (a) There is created the Health Planning Review Board, which shall be an agency separate and apart from the planning agency. The review board shall be com posed of ten members appointed by the Governor, one from each congressional district, and shall include two attorneys. The Governor shall appoint persons to the board who are familiar with the health care industry but who do not have a financial interest in any health care facility. The Governor shall also name the chairman of the review board who shall be an attorney. The purpose of the review board shall be to conduct appeal hearings on decisions of the planning agency, as set forth in this Code section. The review board shall promulgate reasonable rules for its operation and rules of procedure for the conduct of its hearings. The members of the review board shall receive no salary, but shall be reimbursed for their expenses in attending meetings and for transportation costs as authorized by Code Section 45-7-21, which provides for compensation and allow ances of certain state officials, and shall also be compensated for services rendered to the review board outside of attendance at an appeal hearing. Such compensation to the members of the review board shall be made by the Department of Administrative Ser vices.
(b) Any applicant for a project, or any competing applicant, or any competing health care facility that has notified the planning agency prior to its decision that such facility is opposed to the application before the planning agency, or any county or municipal government in whose boundary the proposed project will be located, who is aggrieved by a decision of the planning agency shall have the right to an appeal hearing before a three-member panel of the review board or to intervene in such hearing. Such hearing shall be the administrative remedy for decisions of the planning agency. Such hearing shall be requested within 30 days of the effective date of a decision made pursuant to Code Section 31-6-43. The chairman of the review board shall name the panel for each such hearing, and the panel shall include one lawyer, who shall be the chairman of the panel, and two nonlawyer members of the review board. The member of the review board from the congressional district in which the proposed project is located shall be one of such three members of the panel. The chairman of the panel shall make such rulings as may be required for the conduct of the hearing. The chairman of the panel shall also make all arrangements for scheduling of the hearing.
(c) In fulfilling the functions and duties of this chapter, the panel shall act, and the
hearing shall be conducted as a full evidentiary hearing, in accordance with Chapter 13

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1983

2347

of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act,' relating to contested cases, except as otherwise specified in this Code section. All files, working papers, studies, notes, and other writings or information used by the planning agency in making its deci sions shall be public records and available to the parties, and the chairman of the panel may permit each party to exercise such reasonable rights of prehearing discovery of such information used by the parties as will expedite the hearing.
(d) The issue for decision by the panel shall be whether, and the panel shall order the issuance of a certificate of need if, in the panel's judgment the application is consist ent with the considerations as set forth in Code Section 31-6-42 and the planning agen cy's rules, as the panel deems such considerations and rules applicable to review of the project. The panel shall also consider whether the planning agency committed prejudi cial procedural error in its consideration of the application. The panel shall make writ ten findings of facts and conclusions of law as to each such consideration or rule, including a detailed statement of the reasons for the decision of the panel. Appellant or applicants shall proceed first with their cases before the panel in the order deter mined by the chairman of the panel, and the planning agency, if a party, shall proceed
last. In the event of a consolidated hearing on applications which were joined pursuant to subsection (d) of Code Section 31-6-42, the review board shall have the same powers
specified for the planning agency in subsection (d) of Code Section 31-6-42 to issue no certificate of need or one or more certificates of need.
(e) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all evidence shall be presented at the
hearing. A party or intervenor may present any relevant evidence on all issues raised by the panel or any party to the hearing or revealed during discovery, except that, unless in response to an issue raised by an opponent or the panel or revealed during discovery, a party or intervenor may not present a new need study or analysis that is substantially
different from any such study or analysis submitted to the planning agency prior to its decision and that could reasonably have been available for submission to the planning agency prior to its decision. Except for such limitation on new studies or analyses, the
panel may consider the latest data available, including updates of studies previously sub mitted, in deciding whether an application is consistent with the applicable considera
tions and rules. (f) After the issuance of a decision by the planning agency, no party to an appeal
hearing, nor any person on behalf of any such party, shall make any ex parte contact with any member of the review board in regard to a project under appeal.
(g) The decision of the panel shall be the final administrative decision for purposes
of judicial appeal of any certificate of need decision under Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.'
(h) In the event that the review board, its chairman, or a panel of the review board requires legal counsel, the chairman shall make a request for such advice to the Attorney
General. (i) Any party to the appeal hearing, including the planning agency, may seek judicial
review of the panel's decision in accordance with the method set forth in Chapter 13
of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'; provided, however, that in con ducting such review, the court may reverse or modify the decision only if substantial
rights of the appellant have been prejudiced because the procedures followed by the planning agency, or the review board, or the administrative findings, inferences, conclu sions, and decision of the review board are:
(1) In violation of constitutional or statutory provisions; (2) In excess of the statutory authority of the agency; (3) Made upon unlawful procedures;
(4) Affected by other error of law; (5) Not supported by substantial evidence, which shall mean that the record does not contain such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to
support such findings, inferences, conclusions, or decisions, which such evidentiary standard shall be in excess of the 'any evidence' standard contained in other statutory
provisions; or (6) Arbitrary or capricious or characterized by abuse of discretion or clearly unwar
ranted exercise of discretion.

(b) The judge shall conduct the trial in such manner as to do substantial justice between the parties according to the rules of substantive law. All rules and regulations relating to pleading, practice, and procedure shall be liberally construed so as to admin ister justice.
(c) If the plaintiff fails to appear, the action may be dismissed for want of prosecu tion, the defendant may proceed to a trial on the merits, or the case may be continued as the judge may direct. If both parties fail to appear, the judge may continue the case, order the same dismissed for want of prosecution, or make any other just and proper disposition thereof, as justice may require.
15-10-45. (a) If any defendant has a claim against the plaintiff arising out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the plaintiffs claim and does not require for its adjudication the presence of third parties over whom the court cannot
obtain jurisdiction, such claim must be asserted by the defendant at or before the hear
ing on plaintiffs claim or thereafter be barred. (b) If any defendant has a claim against the plaintiff other than a compulsory coun
terclaim described in subsection (a) of this Code section, such claim may be asserted by

ment, to stay execution, and to order partial payments in such amounts, over such peri ods, and upon such terms as seem just under the circumstances and as will assure a
definite and steady reduction of the judgment until it is fully and completely satisfied.

2360

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(b) The judge of the magistrate court shall not be obligated to collect such deferred partial payments on judgments so rendered but, if the plaintiff so requests, he may do so at the expense of the plaintiff for clerical and accounting costs incurred thereby, not to exceed 10 percent of each payment.
15-10-47. A judgment of the magistrate court shall constitute a lien on both the real and personal property of a defendant, regardless of where such property is situated within the state. Said lien shall become perfected at the time an execution based upon such judgment is filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court for the appropriate county and the entry thereof is made by the clerk in the general execution docket for said county.

A RESOLUTION

Establishing the House Study Committee on Rail Passenger Service in Georgia; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the development of rail passenger service can contribute to the orderly growth of the State of Georgia, the redevelopment of older central cities, the promotion of tourism, the improvement of general mobility, the evolution of a less petroleum depen dent transportation system, and the concurrent diminution of the need for expensive new highways; and

WHEREAS, surveys of traffic and the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Augusta, and Albany indicate sufficient ridership to justify the develop ment of rail passenger service; and

WHEREAS, the potential economic benefits to the State of Georgia from the develop ment of this service in terms of tourism, expanded markets, enhanced local economic bases, increased employment opportunity, and a balanced transportation system justify an examination of the feasibility of financing and operation of such service by the State of Georgia; and

WHEREAS, state administration of a passenger rail service development program might make federal funding available for part of the costs to provide such service.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA

TIVES that there is established a House Study Committee on Rail Passenger Service in

By: Senators Barnes of the 33rd, Dean of the 31st and Trulock of the 10th: A BILL to amend Chapter 17 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to state debt, investment, and depositories, so as to change the requirement that at least one signature on public securities be manually sub scribed; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Chapter 82 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the issuance of bonds, so as to authorize the use of a facsimile signature; to authorize contracts for services in connection with the borrowing of money; to provide for the pay ment of such services; to provide for the confidentiality of certain records; to evidence any repayment obligation for borrowed money in any form or manner determined to be desir able by the borrower; to provide a method of creating a repayment obligation for borrowed money without the issuance of a bond, note, or certificate; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for liberal construction; to amend Chapter 17 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state debt, investment, and depositories, so as to change the requirement that at least one signature on public securi ties be manually subscribed; to provide for the use of a facsimile of the seal of the superior court on public securities; to change provisions relating to the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to provide an expanded definition of "general obligation debt"; to authorize the use of the facsimile signature of both the chairman and the secretary on debt instruments; to authorize the use of the facsimile of the official seal of the Superior Court of Fulton County on state debt instruments; to authorize use of a standardized registered bond certificate; to authorize out-of-state and in-state transfer agents; to authorize the use of depositories; to authorize the use of immobilized or book-entry delivery systems; to pro vide for the confidentiality of certain records; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 82 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the issuance of bonds, is amended by adding a new Article 6 at the end thereof to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 6
36-82-140. Notwithstanding the provisions of other laws to the contrary, the follow ing revisions of relevant laws shall apply to any municipality, as defined in paragraph (3) of Code Section 36-82-121, which incurs bonded indebtedness:

2388

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(1) If a bond is to be issued to evidence the repayment obligation for borrowed money, the signatures of all officers of the municipality required by law or by the pro ceedings related to such borrowed money to sign such bond may be facsimile signatures and any seal required to be affixed thereon may be a facsimile seal if provi sion is also made for a manual authenticating signature on the bond by or on behalf of a designated financial institution or other person or other municipality with whom the municipality has a contract as provided in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of this Code section with respect to such bond. In addition, any officer may adopt as a facsimile signature the signature or facsimile signature of a predecessor in office in the event the signature or facsimile signature of such predecessor appears on such bond.
(2) (A) Any municipality borrowing money may contract for the services of a financial institution or other person within or without the state or another munici pality to perform any of the following functions with respect to repayment obliga tions for borrowed money:
(i) Issuance, authentication, transfer, registration, exchange, and related
mechanical and clerical functions; (ii) Record or bookkeeping or book entry functions; (iii) Preparation, signing, and issuance of checks or warrants in payment of
repayment obligations for borrowed money; (iv) Preparation and maintenance of reports and accounts; and (v) Performance of any other duties related to repayment obligations for bor
rowed money. (B) The cost of performing the aforesaid functions, whether incurred under a contract or through direct performance by the municipality, may be paid from the
borrowed moneys or from other funds lawfully available for the purpose. (3) (A) Whenever any municipality shall borrow money any repayment obligation with respect thereto may be evidenced by:
(i) Bonds issued in such form either coupon or fully registered or both cou
pon and fully registered in such denominations and with such provisions for regis tration, exchangeability, and transferability as the resolution authorizing the
borrowing of money or any loan agreement, trust agreement, or other contract or agreement to be entered into in connection with the borrowing of money may pro
vide; (ii) Book entries under which the right to receive payments of principal,
redemption premium, if any, and interest shall be established and transferred
only through subsequent book entries; or (iii) In such other manner as may be provided for in the resolution authorizing
the borrowing of money or any loan agreement, trust agreement, or other contract or agreement to be entered into in connection with the borrowing of money may
provide. (B) If any municipality elects to evidence any repayment obligation for borrowed money in a manner permitted by division (3)(A)(ii) or (3)(A)(iii):
(i) No bond shall be issued to evidence such repayment obligation, and the adoption by the municipality of the resolution authorizing the borrowing of such
money and the execution and delivery by the municipality of the loan agreement, trust agreement, or other contract or agreement to be entered into in connection with the borrowing of such money and the receipt by the municipality or by an
agent acting on behalf of the municipality of the money borrowed shall be the only requirement to establish lawfully the repayment obligation with respect to
such borrowed money; and (ii) The municipality shall provide for the sending of written statements which
provide a record of certain rights with respect to such repayment obligation as of
the time of issuance of the statements. Such statements shall be sent each person acquiring rights by registration in such repayment obligation but shall, in and of themselves, confer no rights on the recipient and shall be neither a negotiable
instrument nor a security. (C) In the event any municipality elects to evidence any such repayment obliga tion in a manner permitted by division (3)(A)(ii) or (3)(A)(iii), the provisions of any

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1983

2389

other law of this state to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest of any person in such repayment obligation may be accepted, to the extent of such interest, as a deposit of the repayment obligation to which it relates, provided that the municipal ity has provided by contract for the pledge of such interest. 36-82-141. The records of ownership, registration, transfer, and exchange of repay ment obligations for borrowed money and of persons to whom payment with respect to such obligations is made shall not be public records, it being understood that the availa bility of such records to the general public would likely have a serious adverse impact on the ability of a municipality to consummate subsequent borrowings of money at the most advantageous cost to such municipality. 36-82-142. This article shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes hereof; and insofar as the provisions of this article may be inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution of Georgia, under circumstances where the General Assembly has been granted the power by law to enlarge or restrict such provisions of the Constitution of Georgia, or inconsistent with the provisions of any law, including any general, local, or special Act of the General Assembly relating to bonds issued by any municipality, this article shall control."
Section 2. Chapter 17 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state debt, investment, and depositories, is amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 50-17-1, relating to facsimile signatures on public securities in its entirety and sub stituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Public securities authorized to be issued and delivered at any one time may be executed with an engraved, imprinted, stamped, or otherwise reproduced facsimile of any signature, seal, or other means of authentication, certification, or endorsement required or permitted to be recorded thereon if so authorized by the board, body, or officer empowered by law to authorize the issuance of such securities^ provided that at least one signature required f permitted to -be -placed thereon shall -be manually bscribcd. In addition to the foregoing, the clerk of the superior court of each county of this state may authorize the execution of any public securities, as defined in subsection (b) of this Code section, requiring or permitting his signature, with an engraved, imprinted, stamped, or otherwise reproduced facsimile of such signature and with an engraved, imprinted, stamped, or otherwise reproduced facsimile of the seal of the supe rior court of which he is clerk."
Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by striking paragraph (5) of Code Section 50-17-21, relating to definitions relating to the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (5) to read as follows:
"(5) 'General obligation debt' means obligations of this state issued pursuant to this article to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state, its agencies, depart ments, institutions, and those state authorities which were created and activated prior to the amendment to Article VII, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1945, adopted November 8, 1960, for which the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the state are pledged for the payment thereof.

of that year, but the debt so incurred shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 1 percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immedi ately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred; and any debt so incurred shall be repaid out of the taxes levied for the fiscal year in which the loan is made. Such debt shall be payable on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred, and no such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under this paragraph if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incurred under this paragraph.
(3) Public debt for public purposes may be either general obligation debt or guar anteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred by issuing obligations to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, high ways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state, its agencies, depart ments, institutions, and those state authorities which were created and activated prior to the amendment adopted November 8, 1960, to Article VII, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1945. General obligation debt may also be incurred to pro vide educational facilities for county and independent school systems. Guaranteed rev enue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the state if such revenue obligations are issued to finance toll bridges, toll roads, or any other land public transportation facilities or systems, or water or sewage treatment facilities or systems, or to make or purchase, or lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the state for educational purposes; provided, however, that in no event shall general obligation debt or guaranteed reve nue debt be incurred for water or sewage treatment facilities or systems for counties or municipalities. General obligation debt or guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to fund or refund any such debt or to fund or refund any obligations issued upon the security of contracts to which the second paragraph of Article IX, Section VI, Para graph I(a) of the Constitution of Georgia of 1976 is applicable.
(c) No debt may be incurred under paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of this Code sec tion at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state under all contracts then in force to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of Georgia of 1976 are applicable exceed 10 percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred. Within such limitation, the following limitations shall also be applicable:
(1) No guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to finance water or sewage treat ment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service require ments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water or sewage treatment facili ties or systems exceed 1 percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred;
(2) The aggregate principal amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans to citizens of the state for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million and the aggregate principal amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make or purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of, loans to citizens of the state for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million; and
(3) The issuance of any funding or refunding debt pursuant to this Code section shall be subject to the 10 percent limitation provided for herein to the same extent as debt incurred under this article; provided, however, that in making such computa tion the annual debt service requirements and annual contract payments remaining on the debt or obligations being funded or refunded shall not be taken into account.
(d) For the purposes of subsection (c) of this Code section, annual debt service requirements shall mean the total principal and interest coming due in any fiscal year

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1983

of the state; provided, however, that with regard to any issue of debt incurred wholly or in part on a term basis, annual debt service requirements shall mean an amount equal to the total principal and interest payments required to retire such issue in full divided by the number of years from its issue date to its maturity date."
Section 5. Said chapter is further amended by striking subsection (d) of Code Sec tion 50-17-25 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (d) to read as follows:
"(d) (1) Every loan agreement and every evidence of indebtedness under a loan agreement shall be executed in the name of and for the state by the chairman and secretary of the commission. Every other evidence of indebtedness, except those issued in connection with the incurring of guaranteed revenue debt, shall be executed in the name of the state by the chairman and secretary of the commission and shall be sealed with the official seal of the commission or a facsimile thereof. Coupons shall be executed by the chairman of the commission. The facsimile signature of either the chairman or the secretary^ or both, may be imprinted in lieu of the manual signature if the commission so directs, and the facsimile of the chairman's signature shall be used on coupons; provided, however, that the executive secretary may sign as secretary if the commission so directs. Evidence of indebtedness and interest coupons appurte nant thereto bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a person in office at the time such signature was signed or imprinted shall be fully valid notwithstanding the fact that before or after the delivery thereof such person ceased to hold such office.
(2) Each bond representing guaranteed revenue debt shall have stamped or printed thereon a certificate reading as follows:
'I hereby certify that the State of Georgia guarantees full payment of this obliga tion and the interest hereon in accordance with its terms and has pledged the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the state to such payment.' Immediately below the certificate shall appear the facsimile signature of the secretary
of the commission. (3) Debt to be incurred at the same time for more than one purpose may be com bined in one issue without stating the purposes separately, but the proceeds thereof must be allocated, disbursed, and used solely in accordance with the original purposes and without exceeding the principal amount authorized for each purpose set forth in the authorization of the General Assembly and to the extent not so used shall be used to purchase and retire public debt. (4) Every evidence of indebtedness shall be dated not later than the date the same was issued; shall contain a reference by date of the appropriate authorizing resolution pursuant to which the same was issued; and may, but need not, state the purpose for which the debt is being incurred. When debt is being incurred at the same time for more than one purpose, the statement 'for various purposes' shall be authorized. (5) Bonds issued as evidence of general obligation debt or guaranteed revenue debt shall have a certificate of validation bearing the facsimile signature of the clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton County, stating the date on which the bonds were validated as hereinafter provided, and such entry shall be original evidence of the fact of judg ment and shall be received as original evidence in any court in this state. The bonds may be sealed with the official seal of the Superior Court of Fulton County or a fac simile thereof. (6) The commission is authorized to use a standardized registered bond certificate. Such bond certificate may bear the facsimile signatures of the chairman and secretary of the commission and a manual authorizing signature of the registrar or transfer agent or an agent of the registrar or transfer agent."
Section 6. Said chapter is further amended by striking subsection (b) of Code Sec tion 50-17-26, relating to evidences of indebtedness, generally, and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) (1) The fiscal officer of the state or his agent shall act as registrar for evi dences of indebtedness registrable as to principal or interest or both. No transfer of a registered evidence of. indebtedness is valid unless made on the register maintained

2392

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

by the fiscal officer of the state or his agent for that purpose, and the state shall be entitled to treat the registered owner as the owner of such instrument for all purposes. Payment of principal and interest, when registered as to interest, of registered instru ments shall be by check to the registered owner as it appears on the register unless the commission has otherwise provided. The commission may make such other provi sions respecting registration as it deems necessary or useful. The fiscal officer of the state may employ out-of-state transfer agents or in-state transfer agents, or both, to perform registration duties or payment duties, or both, as agents of the fiscal officer of the state.
(2) The commission may authorize debt having any provision for prepayment deemed necessary or useful, including the payment of any premium.
(3) If any evidence of indebtedness becomes mutilated or is destroyed, lost, or sto len, the commission shall execute and deliver a new bond or note of like date of issue, maturity date, principal amount, and interest rate per annum as the bond or note so mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen, upon exchange and substitution for such muti lated bond or note and in lieu of and substitution for the bond or note destroyed, lost, or stolen, upon filing with the commission evidence satisfactory to it that such bond or note has been destroyed, lost, or stolen and proof of ownership thereof and upon furnishing the commission with indemnity satisfactory to it and upon complying with other reasonable rules of the commission and paying expenses connected therewith. Any bond or note surrendered for exchange shall be canceled. As provided in connec tion with the issuance of replacement bonds or notes under this Code section, the commission shall have authority to print the new bonds with a validation certificate bearing the facsimile signature of the clerk of the superior court then in office; and such certificate shall have the same force and effect as in the first instance. All responsibility with respect to the issuance of any such new bonds shall be on the com mission and not on the clerk, and the clerk shall have no liability in the event an overissuance occurs.
(4) Interest shall cease to accrue on public debt on the date that the debt becomes due for payment if the payment is made or duly provided for; but such debt and the accrued interest thereon shall continue to be public debt until 20 years overdue for payment. At that time, unless demand for their payment has been made, they shall be extinguished and shall be deemed no longer outstanding.
(5) Unless otherwise directed by the commission, every evidence of indebtedness and interest coupon paid or otherwise retired shall forthwith be marked 'canceled' and shall be delivered by the paying agent accepting payment thereof to the commission, which shall destroy them and provide a certificate of destruction to the fiscal officer of the state.
(6) The fiscal officer of the state or his agent shall maintain records containing a full and correct description of each evidence of indebtedness issued, identifying it and showing its date, issue, amount, interest rate, payment dates, payments made, regis tration, destruction, and every other relevant transaction. The use of depositories or immobilized or book-entry delivery systems, or both, may be authorized by the com mission.
(7) Records maintained by the commission, the fiscal officer of the state or his agents, OT by any paying agent appointed by the commission which reveal the names or identities of registered holders of bonds or notes shall not be deemed public records. Any information concerning the identity or the name of registered holders of bonds or notes shall be released only upon direction or authorization by the commis sion."
Section 7. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 8. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

"50-5-82. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Georgia manufactured lumber products' means lumber products produced in
the State of Georgia.

2402

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(2) 'Governmental agency" means the state or any board, department, institution, agency, or other political subdivision of the state.
(3) 'Public works' includes roads, highways, streets, bridges, sidewalks, sewage sys tems, buildings, engineering and architectural works, and any other structure, facility, or improvement constructed or undertaken by a governmental agency. (b) (1) For every contract and subcontract for the construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, improvement, or maintenance of any public works in which any lumber products are to be supplied in the performance of the contract or subcontract, every governmental agency shall, at its option, either:
(A) Require that only Georgia manufactured lumber products shall be supplied; or
(B) Allow the use of non-Georgia manufactured lumber only upon the agency's determination, after the receipt of offers or bids, that the cost of Georgia manufac tured lumber products is unreasonable or that Georgia lumber products are not pro duced in sufficient quantities to meet the contract requirements or to provide a competitive bidding environment. This Code section shall not apply to any public works contract awarded in an amount of less than $50,000.00. (2) The offered or bid price of Georgia manufactured lumber products is not unreasonable unless it is more than the offered or bid price of other domestic or for eign made lumber products. (3) The agency shall be the judge as to whether the Georgia manufactured supply is adequate to ensure a competitive bidding environment. (c) A governmental agency may not authorize or make any payments to a contractor under a contract which contains or should contain the provision required by this Code section unless the contractor has fully complied with such provision. Prior to payment, the governmental agency shall require sworn certificates of compliance from all contrac tors, subcontractors, and suppliers whose work involved the supplying of Georgia manu factured lumber products. Payments made by a governmental agency to any contractor not complying with this Code section may be recovered by the agency from the contrac tor or the contractor's bonding company. (d) In any contract under this Code section which is eligible to be funded in whole or in part by an agency of the government of the United States in which a condition of eligibility for such funding is compliance with a 'Buy America' requirement imposed by an act of the United States Congress, then such compliance with such federal requirements shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Code section. (e) This Code section shall be repealed effective December 31, 1988."
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.
The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, by sub stitute, was agreed to.

A BILL
To amend Part 9 of Article 8 of Chapter 2 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certain classifications of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, so as to provide that persons who become employees of the state as a result of a county probation system becoming a part of the state-wide probation system shall have the right to remain members of local retirement systems under certain condi tions; to define the term "local retirement system"; to provide that such employees may become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and may transfer cer tain service as an employee of a county probation system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia under certain conditions; to provide that the employees of certain county probation systems which become a part of the state-wide system shall have the additional option of retiring under a local retirement system if qualified to retire under such system; to provide that certain employees of certain county probation systems shall remain members of a local retirement system and shall not have the option to become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia; to provide for control over con flicting laws or ordinances; to provide procedures, requirements, and other matters relative to the foregoing; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 9 of Article 8 of Chapter 2 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certain classifications of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, is amended by adding at the end of said Part 9 a new Code Section 47-2-296 to read as follows:
"47-2-296. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'local retirement system' means a retirement or pension system maintained by a county which includes as mem bers thereof employees of the county probation system which becomes a part of the state-wide probation system, and the term includes any such retirement or pension cre ated by law or created by ordinance or resolution of the county under the home rule provisions of the Constitution of Georgia.
(b) Any person becoming an employee of the state at any time on or after July 1, 1984, as a result of being employed by a county probation system which became a part of the state-wide probation system administered by the Department of Offender Reha bilitation shall have the options and rights provided for by this Code section, subject to the limitations of subsection (f) of this Code section. The options available to any

2566

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

such employee under this Code section must be exercised within six months after the date the applicable county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system. The option provided by subsection (e) of this Code section must be exercised on or before the date the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide pro bation system. Any such option shall be exercised by such employee notifying, in writ ing, the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, the commissioner of offender rehabilitation, the governing authority of the applicable county, and, when applicable, the board of trustees or other managing body of any local retirement system of which the employee is a member. If the employee is a member of a local retirement system, such membership shall continue pending the exercise of an option provided by this Code section. The choice made by an employee in selecting an option provided by this Code section shall be irrevocable and may not at any time there after be rescinded or modified..
(c) If an employee subject to this Code section was a member of a local retirement system at the time the applicable county probation system became a part of the state wide probation system, such employee, subject to the limitations of subsection (f) of this Code section, may either continue active membership in the local retirement system as provided in this subsection or become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and transfer creditable service as an employee of the local retirement system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia as provided in subsection (d) of this Code section. Such employees who are subject to the provisions of subsection (e) of this Code section shall have the additional option to retire under the local retirement system, if qualified therefor, as provided in said subsection (e). An employee electing to continue membership in a local retirement system shall have the right to continue such member ship and the salary received by such employee as an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or other state department shall be the salary of such employee for all purposes under the local retirement system. If applicable to any such employee, any county supplement to the state salary of such employee shall be included as salary for the purposes of a local retirement system in which such employee continues member ship. Such employee shall continue to pay the employee contributions required under the local retirement system; and, for such purposes, the Department of Offender Reha bilitation or other state department if the employee subsequently becomes employed by another department of the state government may enter into an agreement with the board of trustees or other managing body of the local retirement system whereby the department may deduct such employee contributions from the compensation of the employee and pay the amount deducted to the local retirement system. Employer contri butions for continued membership in the local retirement system shall be computed at the same percentage rate applicable to all other state employees and shall be paid by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or by another state department when appli cable to the local retirement system. An employee continuing membership under a local retirement system under this subsection shall retain all rights, benefits, and privileges under the local retirement system in the same manner and to the same extent as if the employee remained an employee of the county. An employee electing to continue mem bership in a local retirement system shall not be and may not become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
(d) An employee who was a member of a local retirement system as provided in sub section (c) of this Code section may elect to become a member of the Employees' Retire ment System of Georgia, except as otherwise provided by subsection (f) of this Code section. Any such employee so electing may obtain creditable service under the Employ ees' Retirement System of Georgia for all accredited service previously rendered as an employee of the applicable local retirement system. For each employee so electing, the governing authority of the applicable county or the board of trustees or other managing body of the applicable local retirement system, within 30 days after receiving the notice provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section, shall pay to the Board of Trustees
of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia a portion of the total employee contri
butions plus interest made by the employee to the local retirement system. This pay
ment shall be equal to the employee contribution plus interest which would have been

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2567

accumulated had the employee always been covered by the Employees' Retirement Sys tem of Georgia. Any additional amount, as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, shall be paid by the local retirement system to a maximum of prior county contributions plus interest. Any further additional sum required will be paid by the local governing authority. These two sums together with the contributions of transferring employees plus interest shall be sufficient to grant the creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by this subsection without creating any accrued liability, as a result of granting such credit able service, against the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The employee con tributions paid to the board of trustees under this subsection shall be deposited by the board into the annuity savings fund as a credit to the member. Other funds paid to the board of trustees under this subsection shall be deposited by the board into the pension accumulation fund. Upon receiving the payments provided for by this subsection, the board of trustees shall enter the creditable service provided for by this subsection upon the records of the member. The employee contributions in an amount exceeding those necessary to cover the period of creditable service as a state employee under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia shall be refunded to the employee upon application to the board of trustees of the local retirement system.
(e) This subsection shall not apply to the employees of a county probation system of any county of this state having a population of 550,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census. The employees of other county probation systems subject to the provisions of this Code section who were members of a local retirement system shall have the additional option of retiring under the local retirement system if such employees have sufficient creditable service under the local retirement system to qualify for retirement benefits. Such option may be exer cised by any such employee making application for retirement to the board of trustees or other managing body of the local retirement system. Any such employee electing to retire under a local retirement system shall not be eligible to transfer any creditable ser vice under the local retirement system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and, if the employee accepts employment as an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, shall become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia at the time the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide probation sys tem.
(f) This subsection shall apply only to employees of a county probation system of a county having a population of 550,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census. The employees of any such county probation system who were members of a local retirement system and who have ten or more years of creditable service under the local retirement system at the time the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide probation system shall not have the option to become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, and such employees shall continue active membership in the local retirement system. The provisions of sub section (c) of this Code section shall apply to such employees, except for the provisions of said Code section relative to the option to become members of the Employees' Retire ment System of Georgia.
(g) If an employee subject to this Code section was not a member of a local retire ment system at the time the applicable county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system, such employee shall become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia effective on the date the county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system. Any such member may purchase as creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia all or any portion of previ ous actual service rendered by the member as an employee of the applicable county pro bation system, except in those instances in which such member has retired or is receiving benefits from a local retirement system. Such creditable service may be pur chased by the member's paying to the board of trustees all employee and employer con tributions, plus regular interest thereon, under the Employees' Retirement System of
Georgia for the amount of creditable service claimed in an amount sufficient to grant
creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by

2568

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

this subsection without creating any accrued liability, as a result of granting such credit able service, against the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The basis for such employee and employer contributions shall be the compensation the member received upon first becoming an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. The time limitation for exercising options provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section shall not apply to the purchase of creditable service under this subsection. Any eligible member may purchase such creditable service at any time during the first five years of membership in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and parts of such credit able service may be purchased from time to time during such five-year period. The board of trustees may establish payment schedules for eligible members to purchase creditable service under this subsection.
(h) To the extent this Code section conflicts with or is inconsistent with the provi sions of a local retirement or pension system affected by this Code section, whether such local retirement or pension system was created by law or by local ordinance, the provi sions of this Code section shall control."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 7 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the regulation and construction of hospitals and other health care agencies, is amended by striking Code Section 31-7-74, relating to the residence and compensation of members of hospital authorities, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 31-7-74 to read as follows:
"31-7-74. (a) The members of a hospital authority shall be residents of the partici pating units comprising the authority. The requirement of residence shall not apply to authorities activated under subsection (d) of Code Section 31-7-72, provided they are selected from within the area of service and within 12 miles of the hospital location or within 12 miles of the sponsoring county or municipality, whichever is farther.

(1) Any interest or involvement by such member js disclosed jn advance to the authority and is recorded in the minutes of the authority;
(2) No member having a substantial interest or involvement may be present at that portion of an authority meeting during which discussion of any matter is con ducted involving any such organization or person; and
(3) No member having a substantial interest or involvement may participate in any decision of the authority relating to any matter involving such organization or person. As used in this Code section, a 'substantial interest' shall mean any interest which rea sonably may be expected to result in a direct financial benefit to such member as deter mined by the authority, which determination shall be final and not subject to review.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2589

(c) Nothing contained in this article shall be deemed to prohibit any member who is present at any meeting or who participates in any decision of the authority from pro viding legal services in connection with any of the undertakings of the authority or from being paid for such services."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end thereof a new Arti cle 8 to read as follows:
"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. As used in this article, the term:
(1) 'Bereavement services' means the supportive services provided to the family unit to assist it in coping with the patient's death, including follow-up assessment and assistance through the first year after death.
(2) 'Department' means the Department of Human Resources. (3) 'Hospice' means a public agency or private organization or unit of either pro viding to persons terminally ill and to their families, regardless of ability to pay, a centrally administered and autonomous continuum of palliative and supportive care, directed and coordinated by the hospice care team primarily in the patient's home but also on an outpatient and short-term inpatient basis and which is classified as hospice by the department. (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. (6) 'Hospice patient family unit' means the terminally ill person and his or her family, which may include spouse, children, siblings, parents, and other relatives with significant personal ties to the patient. (7) 'License' means a license issued by the department. (8) 'Palliative care' means those interventions by the hospice care team which are intended to achieve relief from, reduction of, or elimination of pain and of other phys ical, emotional, social, or spiritual symptoms of distress. (9) 'Patient' means a terminally ill individual receiving the hospice continuum of services, regardless of ability to pay. (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. No person, private or public organization, political subdivision, or other governmental agency may operate a hospice as defined in Code Section 31-7-172 without first obtaining license from the department. A license issued under this article is not assignable or transferable and must be separate from any existing license and is subject

2590

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

to suspension or revocation at any time for failure to comply with the provisions of this article or with the appropriate regulations promulgated by the department.
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. (c) The department is directed to have in place regulations by March 1, 1984. 31-7-176. (a) The hospice care program shall coordinate its services with those of the patient's primary or attending physicians, and may contract out for elements of ser vices rendered to the patient and family unit, but not for the basic hospice care services, provided by physicians, attending nurses, and counselors. 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 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

Representative Phillips of the 125th moved that the House agree to the Senate substi tute to HB 10.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2599

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.

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:

(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.

2600

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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.

(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.

(B) Subchapter 'S' elections apply only if all stockholders are subject to tax in this state on their portion of the corporate income.

(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 by 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."

HR 303. By: Representatives Jackson of the 9th, Coleman of the 118th, Murphy of the 18th, Collins of the 144th and McDonald of the 12th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Security Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, 17,414 motor vehicles were stolen in this state in 1982; and
WHEREAS, although this state requires a certificate of title to transfer motor vehi cles, there exist certain inadequacies in the security of these certificates; and
WHEREAS, neither security paper nor security film is used by the Georgia Depart ment of Revenue for certificates of title; and
WHEREAS, as a result, such certificates are readily forged or altered, thereby facili tating the fraudulent transfer of stolen motor vehicles; and
WHEREAS, this problem affects not only those persons whose motor vehicles are sto len but indirectly affects all owners of motor vehicles who maintain insurance protection against theft of their vehicles because of the increasingly higher premiums paid for such insurance; and
WHEREAS, measures need to be taken to ensure the security of certificate of title documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES that there is created the Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Security Study Com mittee to be composed of five members of the House of Representatives, appointed by the Speaker of the House who shall also appoint a chairman from among those five members.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall undertake a study of the problems mentioned above and any other problems related thereto and recommend neces sary steps needed to be undertaken to alleviate any such problems. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or con venient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2675

accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative com mittees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, no later than December 15, 1983, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.

sition of local license fees upon insurance companies, in its entirety and inserting in its

The rate of such tax shall be 1 percent of such premiums, except that such tax shall not apply to the gross direct premiums of an insurance company which qualifies, pursuant to Code Section 33-8-5, for the reduction to onehalf of 1 percent of the state tax imposed by Code Section 33-8-4.

HR 194. By: Representative Aaron of the 56th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the House Study Committee on the Age of Majority; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, in recent years state laws lowering the age of majority and other statutes which confer certain majority rights on minors have altered the status of young people in Georgia; and
WHEREAS, the issues involved in age of majority legislation are wide ranging and often highly controversial; and
WHEREAS, given the diversity of the substance of age of majority legislation, it fol lows that such statutes do not constitute a distinct and codified body of law but are scat tered throughout the statutes; and
WHEREAS, oftentimes new laws have been adopted without giving sufficient consid eration to reconciling them with existing ones; and
WHEREAS, Georgia's statutes granting certain rights and withholding others should be reviewed for the purpose of removing the uncertainties, ambiguities, and unintended inconsistencies of age of majority laws.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2681

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES that there is created the House Study Committee on the Age of Majority to be composed of seven members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House, who shall also appoint one of the members as chairman.

The committee may conduct such meetings at such places in this state and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than six days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, no later than December 31, 1983, at which time the com mittee shall stand abolished.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Chapter 2 of Title 27 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to hunting license or permit denial, so as to establish legislative intent and provide admin istrative penalties for persons who negligently injure or kill another person or persons while engaged in hunting; to define criminal activity and penalties thereof relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

"27-2-25.1. (a) The General Assembly has heretofore found and declared that hunt ing is a privilege to be exercised only in accordance with the law granting such privilege. The General Assembly now specifically finds and declares that while the act of hunting is an enjoyable and beneficial form of recreation, it can be dangerous not only to the

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2683

hunter himself but also to other persons if due care is not exercised. Therefore, the Gen eral Assembly declares that all persons who refuse or fail to exercise such due care shall have their hunting license suspended as provided in this Code section.
(b) Any person engaged in the act of hunting who by the use of a weapon kills or injures another person or persons, whether or not such other person or persons is like wise engaged in the act of hunting, shall notify the department or any appropriate law enforcement officer who shall then notify the department immediately after such occur rence. Any person who fails to so notify the department or such law enforcement officer shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
(c) Upon notification of such a death or injury, whether by the hunter or by some other person, the department shall immediately initiate an investigation of such incident and submit a report to the commissioner. If the commissioner determines probable neg ligence on the part of the person causing the death or injury he shall initiate an admin istrative hearing before an administrative law judge appointed by the board for a determination as to the issue of negligence and the extent of injury.
(d) Upon the issuance of the notice of hearing, the administrative law judge shall also issue an order suspending such person's hunting license until the final decision of the board. Upon receipt of such order such person shall immediately surrender his or her hunting license to the department. If, following the administrative hearing, there is a determination that such person was negligent and that such negligence was the proxi mate cause of the death or injury, the hunting license of such person may be suspended for a period of up to ten years and the negligent hunter shall be ordered to take a course of instruction in competency and safety in hunting and in the handling of weapons pro vided for in Code Section 27-2-5. The period of time that such license is suspended shall be commensurate with the degree of negligence and the severity of the injury. The pro visions of Code Section 27-2-27 shall not be applicable to a suspension under this Code section.
(e) Any person whose hunting license or permit has been suspended under this Code section and who engages in the act of hunting during such period of suspension shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000.00 or by imprisonment for not more than 12 months, or both.
(f) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'License' means any and all licenses, permits, or stamps as required by law for
hunting in this state. (2) 'Suspend' means the suspension or revocation of any existing license or permit
and the suspension or revocation of the privilege of obtaining any new license or per mit. (g) The initial hearing, any administrative review by the administrative review com mittee of the board, and any judicial review shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50 and applicable rules and regulations of the board. (h) The proceedings provided for by this Code section shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any civil or criminal actions or actions provided for by law and the final decision of this proceeding shall not constitute res judicata as to any such civil or crimi nal action or actions and shall not be admissible as evidence in any such civil or criminal action or actions."
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.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, by sub stitute, was agreed to.

On the motion, the ayes were 120, nays 26. The motion prevailed.

The following substitute, offered by Representative McDonald of the 12th, was read:

A BILL
To amend Part 1 of Article 3 of Chapter 5 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to authority and procedure for state purchasing, so as to provide for preferential treatment of domestic steel products in the awarding of public works contracts by the state and its boards, departments, institutions, and political subdivisions; to define certain terms; to provide exceptions; to require compliance by contractors and provide for enforcement; to provide for a termination date; to authorize the Governor, by proclama tion, to suspend the foregoing requirements relative to domestic steel if the Governor determines that such requirements have a detrimental effect on the economy of the state or a portion or area of the state; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 1 of Article 3 of Chapter 5 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to authority and procedure for state purchasing, is amended by adding following Code Section 50-5-81 a new Code section, to be designated Code Section 50-5-82, to read as follows:
"50-5-82. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Domestic steel products' means iron and steel products melted and processed
in the United States. (2) 'Governmental agency' means the state or any board, department, institution,
agency, or other political subdivision of the state. (3) 'Public works' includes roads, highways, streets, bridges, sidewalks, sewage sys
tems, buildings, engineering and architectural works, and any other structure, facility, or improvement constructed or undertaken by a governmental agency.
(4) 'Steel products' means materials rolled, formed, cut, shaped, pressed, drawn, extruded, forged, cast, fabricated, or otherwise similarly processed from steel, (b) (1) Every governmental agency, for every contract and subcontract for the con struction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, improvement, or maintenance of any pub lic works in which any steel products are to be supplied in the performance of the contract or subcontract shall, at its option, either: (i) require that only domestic steel products shall be supplied; or (ii) allow the use of non-domestic steel only upon the agency's determination, after the receipt of offers or bids, that the cost of domestic

steel products is unreasonable, or that domestic steel products are not produced in sufficient quantities to meet the contract requirements or to provide a competitive bidding environment. This Code section shall not apply to any public works contract awarded in an amount of less than $50,000.00.
(2) The offered or bid price of domestic steel products is not unreasonable unless it is more than 10 percent higher than the offered or bid price of foreign made steel products.
(3) The agency shall be the judge as to whether domestic supply is adequate to insure a competitive bidding environment. (c) A governmental agency may not authorize or make any payments to a contractor under a contract which contains or should contain the provision required by this Code section unless the contractor has fully complied with such provision. Prior to payment, the governmental agency shall require sworn certificates of compliance from all contrac tors, subcontractors, and suppliers whose work involved the supplying of domestic steel products. Payments made by a governmental agency to any contractor not complying with this Code section may be recovered by the agency. (d) In any contract under this Code section which is eligible to be funded in whole or in part by an agency of the government of the United States in which a condition of eligibility for such funding is compliance with a 'Buy America" requirement imposed by an act of the United States Congress, then such compliance with such federal requirements shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Code section. (e) This Code section shall be repealed effective December 31, 1988."
Section 2. Said part is further amended by adding following Code Section 50-5-82 a new Code Section 50-5-83 to read as follows:
"50-5-83. Notwithstanding any provisions of Code Section 50-5-82, if the Governor determines that the requirements of said Code section have a detrimental effect on the economy of the state or a portion or area of the state, the Governor may, by proclama tion, suspend the requirements of said Code Section 50-5-82. Such proclamation and suspension shall remain effective until repealed by the Governor or until the General Assembly at any regular session thereof convened after the issuance of such proclama tion takes action to amend the suspended Code section specifically to supersede and nul lify the Governor's proclamation relative thereto."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Infant Mortality Rate Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, although the rate of infant mortality has decreased in Georgia over the past 30 years, Georgia still retains the second highest infant mortality rate in the South east and the United States; and

WHEREAS, national studies have shown that where there is excessive levels of infant mortality there is also excessive infant morbidity; and
WHEREAS, about 9 percent of Georgia's newborn are underweight at birth and low birth rate babies are at a greater risk for handicapping conditions such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, blindness, and deafness; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Health of the Department of Human Resources has iden tified infant mortality as its number one priority; and
WHEREAS, the provision of adequate health care should be the joint effort of govern ment and nongovernment entities, public and private sectors, health care providers, health care advocates, and others; and
WHEREAS, all of Georgia's children deserve the best start in life.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES that there is created the Infant Mortality Rate Study Committee, to be composed of ten members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House, who shall also appoint one of the members as chairman.

The com mittee shall study the issue of infant mortality in Georgia and shall review and evaluate maternal, infant, and child health programs receiving state funds. The committee may con duct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or conve nient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative com mittees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the "Little White House" at Warm Springs, Georgia, serves as an impor tant memorial to the thirty-second president of the United States; and
WHEREAS, no fitting memorial to him exists at the site of the springs to which he brought national attention; and
WHEREAS, the "Inabinet Plan" developed several years ago envisioned such a memo rial at the springs site, to include a landscape garden, amphitheater, springs site dining, and other developments; and
WHEREAS, such a memorial will help to foster both tourism and its accompanying employment in the Warm Springs area as well as commemorate one of our greatest presi dents who, while at Warm Springs, conceived the idea of the REA to provide electricity to the rural areas of the country; and
WHEREAS, it is likely that such a memorial development could generate substantial economic assistance from the private sector of the economy if a well-developed plan is actively promoted and encouraged by the state.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Study Committee to be composed of five members from the House of Representatives, who shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House who shall also appoint a chairman from among those members.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall undertake a study of the various memorial alternatives for the springs site at Warm Springs and the best methods for achieving that memorial. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of govern ment.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the University System Laboratory and Equipment Needs Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the decades of the eighties and nineties will witness one of the most pro found revolutions in the history of modern society, one comparable in its consequences to the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century; the next twenty years or so will mark a shift from an industrially based to an informationally based society; and
WHEREAS, the transition to an informational society will be accompanied by a new type of technology, often called "high technology", and a new type of industry referred to as "high technology industry"; and
WHEREAS, Georgia is fortunately situated geographically, economically, and politically to capitalize on the high technology boom and to be a leader in the shift from an industrial society to an informational society; its university system includes a number of excellent institutions able to contribute directly to these new societal demands; and
WHEREAS, unfortunately, all institutions of the university system lack sufficient funding and equipment for the computer related activities which are required to support the technological growth of the state, particularly in their science and engineering instruc tional laboratories.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES that there is created the University System Laboratory and Equipment Needs Study Committee to be composed of eight members of the House appointed by the Speaker, one of whom shall be designated as chairman. The committee is authorized to conduct a thorough and continuing study of the university system laboratory and equip ment needs and, in connection therewith, the cost of funding the purchase of adequate equipment and materials so as to enable our state to develop and attract to its maximum

The committee is authorized to seek the advice and counsel of persons knowledgeable in the field of high technology, the chancellor of the board of regents, and other persons, groups, and organizations which the committee feels will be able to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the committee shall receive the expenses and allowances provided by law for legislative members of interim legislative committees. The committee shall meet upon the call of the chairman, and is authorized to hold meetings and conduct studies at such times and places as the committee deems advisable in carrying out its duties.

The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for funding and for legislation, if any, no later than December 15, 1983, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if a Senate committee is appointed to study sim ilar matters during the 1983 interim, the committee created by this resolution shall be authorized to cooperate and meet jointly with such Senate committee and to issue a joint report to both houses of the General Assembly.

any of the provisions of this part, shall be immediately vacated, and such vacancy shall be filled as provided by law. Any person, firm, or corporation violating any of the provi sions of this part shall be barred from further business dealings with the state until the violation complained of is corrected.
45-10-26. Any person who violates this part shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.", and inserting in lieu thereof a new Part 1 to read as follows:
"Part 1
45-10-20. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Agency' means any agency, authority, department, board, bureau, commission,
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. (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. (11) 'Substantial interest' means the direct or indirect ownership of more than 25 percent of the assets or stock of any business. (12) 'Transact business' or 'transact any 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

2762

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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.
(d) It is the policy and purpose of this article to implement these objectives of pro tecting the integrity of all governmental units of this state and of facilitating the recruit ment and retention of qualified personnel by prescribing essential restrictions against conflicts of interest in state government without creating unnecessary barriers to the public service.
45-10-22. (a) (1) It shall be unlawful for any full-time public official who has state-wide powers, for himself or on behalf of any business, or for any business in which such public official or member of his family has a substantial interest to trans act any business with any agency.
(2) It shall be unlawful for any public official or employee who has limited powers, for himself or on behalf of any business, or for any business in which such public offi cial or member of his family has a substantial interest to transact any business with the agency for which such public official serves.

(b) The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to:
(1) Any transaction made pursuant to sealed competitive bids;
(2) Any transaction when the amount of a single transaction does not exceed $250.00 and when the aggregate of all such transactions does not exceed $9,000.00 per calendar year; and

The terms 'parent bank,' 'branch

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

bank.' and 'bank office' as used in this Code section mean those same terms as defined in Chapter 1 of Title 7j 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.

"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:

(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."

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

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2781

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, that the following distinctions shall be made to recognize differences between banks and savings and loan associations:
(1) Any appropriate distinctions made elsewhere in this chapter, and specifically the following:
(2) For a period of three years from January 1, 1984, the aggregate gross receipts taxes payable by any savings and loan association under the provisions of this chapter shall not be in excess of an amount that would be raised by a current ad valorem tax imposed upon the net worth of said association. As used in this chapter, the term 'net worth' means all surplus, undivided profits, and reserves exclusive of any reserve required by any federal or state statute or regulation in force as of January 1, 1980, which statute or regulation was applicable to such federal or state-chartered associa tion, and minus the fair market value of all real estate or equity therein owned by the association."
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 T 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. 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.

2782

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(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 ^r 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 long-
term 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) (i) If two or more corporations file federal income tax returns on a consol idated 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 purposes. 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^ and (ii) No depository financial institutions, as defined in Code section 48-6-20,
shall be deprived of the benefit of any exemption, deduction, or credit authorized
by this title as a consequence of Us election to file otherwise lawful consolidated returns with its parent organization or any corporate subsidiaries with respect to any state or local tax levied against such depository financial institution as a result of this title. (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

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2783

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 by 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;. {3)--Building and lean associations and cooperative feanfcs without capital stock when organized and operated for mutual purposes and without profit; and {4)--Banks and trust companies doing a general banking business including, btrt net limited te; savings banks incorporated under the banking tews -of -this state -er-ef-the 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; end. i#)--Banks and banking associations, federal savings and lean associations, and building and lean associations organized under the tews ef this state or under the tews of the United States and which a*e separately taxed."

Section 15. In the event that subsection (e) of Code Section 48-6-93 or paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of Code Section 48-7-21 is declared or adjudged invalid or unconsti tutional, it is the intent of the General Assembly that this entire Act also be held invalid and that the methods of taxation of subjects affected by this Act revert to those methods in force immediately prior to the effective date of this Act. In the event that any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act other than those described above shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the General Assembly declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that any part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 16. This Act shall become effective on January 1, 1984.

A BILL
To amend Part 9 of Article 8 of Chapter 2 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certain classifications of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, so as to provide that persons who become employees of the state as a result of a county probation system becoming a part of the state-wide probation system shall have the right to remain members of local retirement systems under certain condi tions; to define the term "local retirement system"; to provide that such employees may become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and may transfer cer tain service as an employee of a county probation system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia under certain conditions; to provide that the employees of certain county probation systems which become a part of the state-wide system shall have the additional option of retiring under a local retirement system if qualified to retire under such system; to provide that certain employees of certain county probation systems shall remain members of a local retirement system and shall not have the option to become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia; to authorize certain counties to supplement the state salaries paid to certain employees who become employees of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation; to provide for control over conflicting laws or ordi nances; to provide procedures, requirements, and other matters relative to the foregoing; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 9 of Article 8 of Chapter 2 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certain classifications of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, is amended by adding at the end of said Part 9 a new Code Section 47-2-296 to read as follows:
"47-2-296. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'local retirement system' means a retirement or pension system maintained by a county which includes as mem bers thereof employees of the county probation system which becomes a part of the state-wide probation system, and the term includes any such retirement or pension cre ated by law or created by ordinance or resolution of the county under the home rule provisions of the Constitution of Georgia.
(b) Any person becoming an employee of the state at any time on or after July 1, 1984, as a result of being employed by a county probation system which became a part of the state-wide probation system administered by the Department of Offender Reha bilitation shall have the options and rights provided for by this Code section, subject to the limitations of subsection (f) of this Code section. The options available to any such employee under this Code section must be exercised within six months after the date the applicable county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system. The option provided by subsection (e) of this Code section must be exercised on or before the date the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide pro bation system. Any such option shall be exercised by such employee notifying, in writ ing, the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, the commissioner of offender rehabilitation, the governing authority of the applicable county, and, when applicable, the board of trustees or other managing body of any local

2790

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

retirement system of which the employee is a member. If the employee is a member of a local retirement system, such membership shall continue pending the exercise of an option provided by this Code section. The choice made by an employee in selecting an option provided by this Code section shall be irrevocable and may not at any time there after be rescinded or modified.
(c) If an employee subject to this Code section was a member of a local retirement system at the time the applicable county probation system became a part of the state wide probation system, such employee, subject to the limitations of subsection (f) of this Code section, may either continue active membership in the local retirement system as provided in this subsection or become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and transfer creditable service as an employee of the local retirement system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia as provided in subsection (d) of this Code section. Such employees who are subject to the provisions of subsection (e) of this Code section shall have the additional option to retire under the local retirement system, if qualified therefor, as provided in said subsection (e). An employee electing to continue membership in a local retirement system shall have the right to continue such member ship and the salary received by such employee as an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or other state department shall be the salary of such employee for all purposes under the local retirement system. If applicable to any such employee, any county supplement to the state salary of such employee shall be included as salary for the purposes of a local retirement system in which such employee continues member ship. Such employee shall continue to pay the employee contributions required under the local retirement system; and, for such purposes, the Department of Offender Reha bilitation or other state department if the employee subsequently becomes employed by another department of the state government may enter into an agreement with the board of trustees or other managing body of the local retirement system whereby the department may deduct such employee contributions from the compensation of the employee and pay the amount deducted to the local retirement system. Employer contri butions for continued membership in the local retirement system shall be computed at the same percentage rate applicable to all other state employees and shall be paid by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or by another state department when appli cable to the local retirement system. An employee continuing membership under a local retirement system under this subsection shall retain all rights, benefits, and privileges under the local retirement system in the same manner and to the same extent as if the
employee remained an employee of the county. An employee electing to continue mem bership in a local retirement system shall not be and may not become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
(d) An employee who was a member of a local retirement system as provided in sub section (c) of this Code section may elect to become a member of the Employees' Retire ment System of Georgia, except as otherwise provided by subsection (f) of this Code
section. Any such employee so electing may obtain creditable service under the Employ ees' Retirement System of Georgia for all accredited service previously rendered as an
employee of the applicable local retirement system. For each employee so electing, the governing authority of the applicable county or the board of trustees or other managing
body of the applicable local retirement system, within 30 days after receiving the notice provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section, shall pay to the Board of Trustees
of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia a portion of the total employee contri butions plus interest made by the employee to the local retirement system. This pay ment shall be equal to the employee contribution plus interest which would have been
accumulated had the employee always been covered by the Employees' Retirement Sys tem of Georgia. Any additional amount, as determined by the Board of Trustees of the
Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, shall be paid by the local retirement system to a maximum of prior county contributions plus interest. Any further additional sum required will be paid by the local governing authority. These two sums together with the contributions of transferring employees plus interest shall be sufficient to grant the
creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1983

2791

this subsection without creating any accrued liability, as a result of granting such credit able service, against the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The employee con tributions paid to the board of trustees under this subsection shall be deposited by the board into the annuity savings fund as a credit to the member. Other funds paid to the board of trustees under this subsection shall be deposited by the board into the pension accumulation fund. Upon receiving the payments provided for by this subsection, the board of trustees shall enter the creditable service provided for by this subsection upon the records of the member. The employee contributions in an amount exceeding those necessary to cover the period of creditable service as a state employee under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia shall be refunded to the employee upon application to the board of trustees of the local retirement system.
(e) This subsection shall not apply to the employees of a county probation system of any county of this state having a population of 550,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census. The employees of other county probation systems subject to the provisions of this Code section who were members of a local retirement system shall have the additional option of retiring under the local retirement system if such employees have sufficient creditable service under the local retirement system to qualify for retirement benefits. Such option may be exer cised by any such employee making application for retirement to the board of trustees or other managing body of the local retirement system. Any such employee electing to retire under a local retirement system shall not be eligible to transfer any creditable ser vice under the local retirement system to the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and, if the employee accepts employment as an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, shall become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia at the time the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide probation sys tem.
(f) This subsection shall apply only to employees of a county probation system of a county having a population of 550,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census. The employees of any such county probation system who were members of a local retirement system and who have ten or more years of creditable service under the local retirement system at the time the county probation system becomes a part of the state-wide probation system shall not have the option to become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, and such employees shall continue active membership in the local retirement system. The provisions of sub section (c) of this Code section shall apply to such employees, except for the provisions of said Code section relative to the option to become members of the Employees' Retire ment System of Georgia.
(g) If an employee subject to this Code section was not a member of a local retire ment system at the time the.applicable county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system, such employee shall become a member of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia effective on the date the county probation system became a part of the state-wide probation system. Any such member may purchase as creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia all or any portion of previ ous actual service rendered by the member as an employee of the applicable county pro bation system, except in those instances in which such member has retired or is receiving benefits from a local retirement system. Such creditable service may be pur chased by the member's paying to the board of trustees all employee and employer con tributions, plus regular interest thereon, under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia for the amount of creditable service claimed in an amount sufficient to grant creditable service under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia authorized by this subsection without creating any accrued liability, as a result of granting such credit able service, against the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The basis for such employee and employer contributions shall be the compensation the member received upon first becoming an employee of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. The time limitation for exercising options provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section
shall not apply to the purchase of creditable service under this subsection. Any eligible
member may purchase such creditable service at any time during the first five years of

2792

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

membership in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and parts of such credit able service may be purchased from time to time during such five-year period. The board of trustees may establish payment schedules for eligible members to purchase creditable service under this subsection.
(h) The provisions of this subsection shall apply only to counties having a population of 550,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census which had a county probation system whose employees are subject to the provisions of this Code section.
The governing authority of a county subject to this subsection is authorized to supple ment the state salaries paid to employees of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation who were employees of the county's probation system prior to its becoming a part of the state-wide probation system. Such salary supplement, if any, shall be included in the salary of any such employee for all purposes under any local retirement system in which the employee remains a member pursuant to the authority or requirements of this Code section. Such salary supplement, if any, shall not be considered state salary for the pur poses of any payments made from state funds to a local retirement system to reimburse such local retirement system for employer contributions that would be made under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia if such employees had become members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia pursuant to the provisions of this Code section.
(i) To the extent this Code section conflicts with or is inconsistent with the provi sions of a local retirement or pension system affected by this Code section, whether such local retirement or pension system was created by law or by local ordinance, the provi sions of this Code section shall control."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Sec tion 43-3-8, relating to certified public accountants and the conducting of oral examina tions and the retention by joint-secretary of records of examinations, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:

A BILL
To amend Code Section 20-2-250 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to capital outlay funds for educational facilities, so as to provide that projections of aver age daily attendance shall include nonresident pupils whether or not such nonresident pupils attend school pursuant to a contract between local units of administration; to remove the total local funding authorized for capital outlay projects; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

daily attendance projections which will be used in the development of needs within each local unit, but such projections shall not be confined to resident pupils in average daily attendance but shall be based on average daily attendance which includes nonresident pupils, whether or not such nonresident pupils attend school pursuant to a contract between local units of administration. The nonresident projection shall be the most recent five-year ADA average. The survey team will use such projections in determining the improvements needed for the five-year planning period. The state board shall also develop schedules for allowable square footage and cost per square foot. The cost esti mate for each recommended improvement included in the plan shall be based on these schedules.

"(4) In order to determine the amount of state funds to be requested for a given fis cal year, total new and accrued entitlements must be compared to the state portion of the current cost estimates of the projects approved in the educational facilities plan in priority order. The above comparison shall be made for each of the incremental entitlement levels required in paragraph (1) of this Code section. In the event that projects requested for funding exceed the total state entitlements and required local par ticipation, local units may elect to contribute additional local funding; provided that the total ef- aH teeal funding does net exceed 60 percent f the eligible project -easts. Local funds contributed in excess of required local participation may be credited toward required local participation in subsequent years, provided that the requested state appropriation for this subsection shall not exceed $100 million annually and, if neces sary, the new entitlement level shall be reduced to comply with this limitation."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
