The official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 21-2-291 provides as follows: "Any other provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event there is no opposed candi date, no name shall appear on the special election ballot unless a write-in candidate has qualified as provided by law. Further, if there are no opposed candidates, no eligible writein candidates, and no issues to be submitted to the electorate, no election shall be con ducted. Each such unopposed candidate shall be deemed to have voted for himself. 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.

Veto No. 1 - H. B. 479 by Representatives Lawson, Wood and Jackson of the 9th
House Bill 479 is a charter for the City of Lula, Georgia. This is a local bill and due to technical defects in the legislation, the local delegation has requested that I veto the bill. For this reason, I am vetoing House Bill 479.

Veto No. 2 - H. B. 707 by Representative Groover of the 99th
House Bill 707 is an attempt to address a problem legislatively which simply cannot be addressed by action of the General Assembly, absent ratification by the people of this state. The Supreme Court of Georgia has ruled that the assertion of interest adverse to the state by state lawyer-legislators is violative of the fiduciary duty imposed by the peo ple of this state. This fiduciary duty arises out of our state constitution which mandates that public officers are the trustees and servants of the people. No statutory enactment can modify the terms of this constitutional provision. This requires a constitutional amendment. For this reason, House Bill 707 is patently unconstitutional and I must veto it.

Veto No. 3 - H. B. 332 by Representative Hasty of the 8th; Representative Darden of the 20th; and Representative Snow of the 1st
House Bill 332 amends the law establishing, by population bracketed categories, the minimum salary for clerks of the Superior Court in each county. It would raise the mini mum salary for such clerks in counties which fell within one particular population bracket. Subsequent to the passage of H. B. 332, Senate Bill 182 passed which raised the minimum salary for clerks of the Superior Court in all population brackets. After speaking with the authors of H.B. 332, I have concluded that S.B. 182 is the preferable vehicle to address the problem which H.B. 332 was intended to address. For this reason, I am vetoing H.B. 332.

Veto No. 4 - S. B. 225 by Senator Engram of the 34th
Senate Bill 225 provides for the release of patients' records by health service providers at the request of the patient. This bill was passed in the House by floor substitute with a floor amendment. The author of this bill objected to the House floor amendment. The House receded from its position with respect to the entire bill, thus leaving the bill in the form it passed the Senate. As a result, critical provisions which were part of the House Committee amendment were left out of the bill. For this reason, the author has requested that I veto this bill.

Veto No. 5 - S. B. 91 by Senator Littlefield of the 6th
Senate Bill 91, in addition to containing certain procedural and technical defects, represents a concept which I cannot countenance and the public will not tolerate in this day in time.

MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1984

33

Procedurally, this bill is constitutionally defective by virtue of being in violation of Article III, Section VII, Paragraph IV of the Georgia Constitution which provides that, "No law shall pass which refers to more than one subject matter, or contains matter differ ent from what is expressed in the title thereof." Nowhere in the title to this bill is there language which states that a retiree may return to work full-time for compensation with the University System without having his or her retirement benefits reduced or affected. The title, as did the original bi'l, refers to public officers and employees being authorized to teach evening sports and recreation courses within the University System under certain conditions. From no phrase or word in the title could the General Assembly glean that, by passage of this bill, they would be authorizing "double dipping" by state retirees.
Technically, this bill is in conflict with House Bill 606 which I recently signed into law. House Bill 606 totally revamps the code with respect to conflict of interests laws. The author of Senate Bill 91 had the foresight to have his original bill incorporated into House Bill 606 at the proper place. If signed into law, Senate Bill 91 would amend the definitional section of our new conflict of interests law and would make absolutely no sense due to cross-references to a subsection which no longer exists.
Conceptually, I have serious problems with the floor amendment that was attached to Senate Bill 91 in the waning days of the session. The floor amendment authorizes any retiree of the state to return to work as a teacher or instructor with the University System, full-time for full compensation, without affecting such person's retirement benefits. The floor amendment is, pure and simple, a retirement bill. It was not introduced during the first ten days of the session. It was not reviewed by either the Senate or House Retirement Committees. It had no fiscal note attached. In short, it did not traverse the ordinary legis lative process retirement bills are required to go through.
Retired former employees of the state can presently return to the service of the state. As a general rule, however, retirement benefits are either suspended during such service or compensation for such service is reduced so that the retirement benefits plus the com pensation received did not exceed the earnable compensation the retiree was receiving at his or her retirement. This is fair.
I recently sponsored and signed into law a bill which amended the Teachers' Retire ment System to authorize retired teachers to return to the schools as part-time teachers' aides or as substitute teachers. This bill was reviewed by the House and Senate Retire ment Committees, had a fiscal note attached and passed both houses. This will allow our school systems to draw on the wisdom and experience of retired teachers for minimal com pensation while allowing the retired teacher to continue receiving retirement benefits. This is fair.
To permit the type of broad scale "double dipping" that would be authorized by Sen ate Bill 91, in my opinion, is not fair. Furthermore, the public will not stand for it. It is this type of sweetheart legislation that erodes public confidence in government and makes the jobs of dedicated public servants harder. For these reasons, I must veto Senate Bill 91.
Veto No. 6 - H. B. 92 by Representative Colbert of the 23rd
House Bill 92 is an attempt to expand the scope of the crime of interference with gov ernment property to include the use of government property for an indecent purpose. The bill also provides that government property includes state property, county property, municipal property, local school district property or the property of any other political subdivision of this state. Inadvertently, property belonging to the various authorities of the state and local governments was not included. Much of the state's property is deeded in the name of the Georgia Building Authority and other authorities of the state. Due to this error, I must veto House Bill 92.

Veto No. 7 - S. B. 147 by Senator Walker of the 19th; Senator Cobb of the 28th; Senator English of the 21st and others

34

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Senate Bill 147 requires state and local governmental agencies to give purchase and contract preference to domestic steel products in public works projects of more than $50,000.00, if the purchase price of the domestic steel is not more than 10 percent above the purchase price of nondomestic steel products. This bill would also allow the Governor to suspend the operation of the law if the preference proved to have a detrimental effect on the economy of this state.
I am not unmindful of the problems facing our ailing domestic steel industry and am not unsympathetic with their plight. This nation is currently facing some hard economic times. These hard economic times have probably exacerbated the problems of the domestic steel industry. Many states have established the type of product preferences represented by S.B. 147. In the long run, I believe that these types of policies which create artificial markets will prove detrimental, not only to the economies of the states that have enacted them, but to the domestic steel industry itself.
As Governor, I have committed myself to creating jobs for Georgians. This task involves attracting foreign industries and encouraging foreign trade and investment in Georgia. If S.B. 147 were signed into law, it would create a protectionist image for Georgia internationally and invite retaliatory policies by the nations we disfavor. This would seri ously impede our efforts to bring new industry to this state and would mean fewer new jobs for Georgians.
I think that wisdom dictates that I veto S.B. 147. Our national economy can ill afford to have the individual states, marching to the tunes of their own drummers, establishing international trade and importing policies. We would be well advised to allow our national government to establish these policies, based on what is best for the nation as a whole.

Veto No. 8 - S. B. 165 by Senator Kidd of the 25th
Senate Bill 165 contains many provisions finetuning and updating our elections code with respect to voter registration and absentee voting. In addition to these provisions, Sec tion 22 of the bill authorizes public utility corporations to establish and administer a polit ical action committee in order to receive and solicit contributions to be used for the purpose of influencing the outcome of elections for public office. In this same section, there is a prohibition against a public utility corporation making any contribution to a political campaign. Thus, this bill would allow a public utility corporation to do indirectly, by political action committee, that which it cannot do directly. For the following reasons, I must veto Senate Bill 165.
Unlike private corporations, public utility corporations enjoy a protected status in Georgia. In return for the State granting public utility corporations monopolistic powers, the public utility corporations agree to be regulated by the State. It is the responsibility of the State to insure that the power granted to regulated public monopolies not be abused.
The relationship between the regulator and the regulated is a complex one. The legis lative process is the arena in which this relationship is defined. By its very nature, the legislative process is a political one. By influencing the political process, the legislative pro cess is necessarily influenced. I have a fundamental problem with allowing a public utility corporation to inject itself into the political process, directly or indirectly. I can think of no greater potential for abuse than to allow the regulated to hold sway over those who shape the regulatory environment. Even the appearance of impropriety should not be allowed to taint those upon whom quasi-public authority has been conferred.
I have no problem with any individual employee, officer or director employed by any public utility corporation making any type of contribution on his or her own behalf to any

political campaign. This is their individual right to express their opinion on matters of concern.
Veto No. 9 - S. B. 110 by Senator Brown of the 47th; Senator Kidd of the 25th and Sena tor Hill of the 29th
Senate Bill 110 amends the Legislative Retirement System so as to increase the retire ment benefits, upon retirement, of members of that System. Presently, benefits upon retirement are calculated by multiplying the number of years of creditable service by six teen dollars. Senate Bill 110 would increase that multiplier to twenty dollars.
I do not oppose reasonable increases in the Legislative Retirement System, or any other retirement system, when funds are available and when all systems are treated with relative sameness. I can think of no issue which has captured as much media and public attention during the first two months of my administration as the retirement benefits of public officials. I do not intend to foster or promote the growing public perception that public officials are using the State Retirement System to feather their own nests. This per ception is not conducive to public confidence in their public officials and their govern ment, and it simply cannot be perpetuated.
Under the present economic conditions, where increases are unable to be granted for other state retirement systems, I believe it would be improper to single out this system for an increase at this time. For this reason I must veto Senate Bill 110.
Veto No. 10 - S. B. 277 by Senator Gillis of the 20th; Senator Kennedy of the 4th and Senator Walker of the 19th
Senate Bill 277 requires state and local governmental agencies to give purchase and contract preference to Georgia manufactured lumber products in public works projects of more than $50,000.00. Unlike Senate Bill 147, such preference is not required if the pur chase price of Georgia manufactured lumber products is higher than the purchase price of other domestic or foreign made lumber products. Like Senate Bill 147, however, Senate Bill 277 is in response to these difficult economic times in attempting to create an artifi cial market for Georgia manufactured lumber products.
Presently, Georgia law expresses a preference, as far as may be reasonable and practi cal, for the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment which have been manufactured or produced in this state. This preference has been in existence since 1933. To legislatively reiterate this preference and, in addition, impose substantial administrative burdens regarding the determination of product origin on our state and local governmental agenc'es, as this time is not appropriate. For this reason, I must veto Senate Bill 277.
Veto No. 11 - S. B. 212 by Senator Garner of the 30th and Senator Barnes of the 33rd
Senate Bill 212 repeals that Code Section in the law which defines naturopathy. This Code Section was left over from a 1950 Act of the General Assembly which created the Board of Naturopathic Examiners. The provisions of the 1950 Act creating the Board were repealed in 1956; however, the aforestated Code Section was left in the law in order to define naturopathy for those persons who had been licensed by the Board prior to 1956.
In 1981, the Attorney General ruled that this Code Section did not allow persons to practice naturopathic medicine in the State of Georgia unless they had been previously licensed by the original Board. This ruling is presently the subject of litigation.
It was obviously the intent of the 1983 General Assembly to abolish the last vestige of the 1950 Act. Although I do not endorse or condemn naturopathy, I feel that it is pre mature to abolish this Code Section which is now in litigation. I think it only fair, to leave the legal issues, now in litigation, exactly as they were when the appeal was perfected from the district court ruling. For this reason, I must veto Senate Bill 212.
In taking this action, I am not in any way trying to take the side or justify the posi tion that this Code Section allows unlicensed individuals to practice medicine or

MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1984

naturopathy in this state. I simply feel that in all fairness, we should allow the judicial process to run its course.
Veto No. 12 - H. B. 103 by Representative Padgett of the 86th and Representative Groover of the 99th
House Bill 103 amends the law relative to the reporting of child abuse so as to make it a misdemeanor for the news media to make public the name of any child who is reported to have been abused. Under present law, when it is discovered that a child under the age of 18 has been abused, it is the responsibility of the person who discovers such fact to report it to a child welfare agency, or in the absence of such agency, to an appro priate police authority or district attorney.
The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the state cannot restrict access to public records by the press. Reports made to child welfare agencies reporting child abuse are made confidential by law, thus such reports containing the names of children reported to be abused are not in the public domain and are properly excludable from public con sumption. However, once the child abuse case has been turned over to the District Attor ney for prosecution and the name of the child is contained in the indictment or other public record, the name of that child is in the public domain and the press cannot constitutionally be threatened with criminal sanctions for publishing it.
I am in complete agreement with the intent of the author of this bill. It is important that we protect the youthful victims of crime and abuse to the greatest extent legally pos sible and that we not further traumatize these child-victims. I am aware, however, that there are certain constitutional limitations imposed on the state when attempting to limit access to public records by the press.
Thus while the intent of this bill is admirable, the effect, I fear, is constitutionally impermissible. For this reason, I must veto House Bill 103.

GOVERNOR JOE FRANK HARRIS STATE OF THE STATE/BUDGET ADDRESS
January 11, 1984
Lieutenant Governor Miller,...Speaker Murphy,...members of the General Assembly,...members of the Appellate Courts,...members of the Consular Corps,...other dis tinguished guests,...ladies and gentlemen,...it is a high honor and privilege for me to be here today to address you on the State of the State and the 1985 budget.
One year ago today, January 11, 1983, I stood before you and the people of Georgia and took the oath of office as governor of this great State....During the twelve-month period since that time, we have made considerable progress in our State,...and I am proud to report to you and the citizens of Georgia that the state of our State is good!
In my inaugural address,...! said that I was prepared by determination and personal experience to make the most of our resources....! said that I was committed to stringent and responsible management of our State's fiscal resources,...to getting the most services

60

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

possible for every tax dollar,...and to the principle of better government,...not more govern ment.
My commitment then...to manage State government within its means--did not imply that we would operate without dreams...or that our dreams could not be fulfilled....During this past year,...together we have fulfilled many of the dreams we shared for Georgia,...while at the same time we have dreamed new dreams and set new goals....It has been a year of great accomplishment and achievement.
In public education, we have seen our fourth, eighth and tenth grade students climb to the national average in comprehensive test scores for the first time ever....In higher edu cation, we have achieved an amicable and realistic solution to the Federal challenge to fur ther desegregate our colleges and universities....The failure to resolve this one single issue would have cost us more than $200 million in lost Federal funds for higher education,...and I have cited this accomplishment as one of the proudest of my first year in office.
In the area of criminal justice, we have fulfilled a commitment that you and I made together,...and that is to remove the burden of the Federal prison monitor from Reidsville....Not only has this burden been removed,...but Georgia State prison won the first medical accreditation ever awarded to a prison facility in the United States by the American Medical Association,...and this is definitely an historic happening....In the area of public safety,...we have seen a new tougher DUI law go into effect,...and with steppedup enforcement activities--and a comprehensive public awareness campaign,...drunk driv ing accidents and deaths have dropped dramatically.
One year ago, we were all vaguely aware of a new Federal program entitled the Job Training Partnership Act....This program is today being administered by the State Depart ment of Community Affairs,...and it has won the Top National Award for Program Admin istration from the National Alliance for Business.
Last year, our State climbed out of the economic slump,...and new capital investment in manufacturing facilities in our State exceeded $1 billion....In addition, nonmanufacturing investment in Georgia topped $5 billion for the first time ever....Over 89,000 new jobs were created in the private sector for Georgians due to this economic expansion.
For the first five months of the current fiscal year,...tax revenues exceeded nine per cent growth,...and for the past three of those months,...tax revenues have exceeded twelve percent growth....Georgia's recovery from economic recession is well under way and solidly on track.
While other states have raised taxes,...cut back drastically on needed programs,...and failed to give their state employees and teachers salary increases,...our department heads have worked with me to make the businesslike adjustments and alterations in their bud gets that have kept our State government sound.
For fiscal year 1985, I am estimating revenues of $4.302 billion,...a growth rate of 9.3 percent of the revised revenue estimate of $3.935 billion for fiscal year 1984....In keeping with my commitment to begin rebuilding the revenue shortfall reserve,...! have estimated revenues for fiscal year 1985 conservatively and have selected the lowest revenue projec tion offered by the revenue estimator....My revenue estimate forecasts $367 million in new revenues for fiscal year 1985,...which provides us with funds to make significant improve ments in education and other areas of critical importance to our citizens and to our State's future.
The goal of my administration is to provide jobs for Georgians....Economic develop ment cannot and will not occur in a state that does not provide for the educational needs of its citizens,...nor will economic development occur in a state which does not provide for the social needs of its citizens....Economic development not only means highways and ports and water and sewer lines,...but it also means quality education,...a good criminal justice system,...a strong human service delivery system...and a coordinated and balanced approach to managing resources and solving problems.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1984

61

My number one priority in this year's budget is public education....It is of vital con cern to all Georgians,...because our future and the future of our children directly hinge on its quality....Last year we created the Education Review Commission,...and that Commis sion is undertaking the most thorough and in-depth study of public education which has been done in over two decades....When the Commission presents its findings to us later this year,...we will have a blueprint of action and an insight into the future for quality education in Georgia.
As my highest priority in this budget,...! am recommending a 10 percent salary increase for our classroom teachers....This will boost average teacher pay in Georgia to $20,867,...while beginning teachers will see their salaries increase to over $14,329,...the larg est increase in history....Quality in education begins with the classroom teacher...because the classroom is where the action is and where the incentives should be to retain our expe rienced teachers....With this in mind,...I am also adding an additional step in the salary schedule for teachers with 18 years or more experience in the classroom.
This pay raise or upgrading for classroom teachers will require,...for the first time ever,...separating classroom teachers from all other State employees...including educational administrators...for the purposes of salary recommendations....! am fully aware that it is without precedent and not totally without some controversy....Nevertheless, it is a move which cannot be avoided any longer if we are to realize the progress in education which is your goal,...my goal,...and the goal of all Georgians.
I am recommending a salary package totaling $143,508,251 to provide a three-percent salary increase for all university system personnel,...all employees of the executive, legisla tive and judicial branches of government,...as well as all public school employees...and retired members of the Employees' Retirement System.
Inflation has been running at about 3 percent....With our salary recommendations,...no State employee or educator will experience any erosion of their incomes....We will meet or exceed the cost of living with these increases.
My salary recommendation for the special teacher pay package will move Georgia to the forefront in both national and southeastern states' rankings....This pay package repre sents the largest dollar increase in teacher pay in the history of our State and will result in the largest percentage pay increase for school teachers in over a decade.
Also included in my budget recommendations are funds to implement a third-grade promotion test and a tenth-grade writing test,...both of which will provide a more complete evaluation of our students' competencies....! am also providing $72 million for public school building construction through bond sales to continue our tradition of providing the best possible facilities for teaching our students.
As a result of the recommendations by the vocational education task force,...and with your support,...! will implement the new Vocational Education Board....! am also recom mending $6,609,911 for positions, equipment and other operating costs to allow the new heart of Georgia and Gwinnett vocational technical schools to be fully operational....And to allow for expansions at the schools in Houston county, Valdosta and Columbus....In addition, I am recommending nearly $2 million for start-up-costs for eight additional com prehensive high schools.
My budget also contains $100,000 for a new scholarship program aimed at recognizing, awarding and encouraging high academic achievement in our public schools....You have recognized with me the need to meet the critical shortage of math and science teachers in our State,...and I am increasing funds to more than double the current loans available for science and math teachers from 90 to 200....I am recommending $350,000 in new money for our super successful quick-start program,...which as you know,...is one of our State's most outstanding economic development tools.
My commitment in this budget to educational improvements will be seen throughout the education spectrum....The salary increases for university system personnel coupled

62

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

with the salary adjustment you provide by funding the regents' formula should ensure that we maintain our high national salary rankings in the university system....currently, we rank 21st in senior college salaries and 27th in universities and junior college salaries,...and this budget will maintain those rankings....In addition, I have included for the first time full funding of the 1 percent quality improvement item in the regents' formula....This $6 mil lion will be used to purchase badly needed equipment for the university system....It is not for replacement purchases,...but rather for upgrading the quality of equipment inventories and thus the quality of instruction and research....This $6 million is in addition to approxi mately $9 million in the continuation budget for the university system...for a total of $15 million in equipment money.
My budget recommendation also includes $2.75 million as the first phase of funding to allow our research institutions to retain 100 percent of their research grants....As you know, until now, we have been deducting from the regents' formula a portion of the over head costs on research grants....My goal is to fully fund this item so that our research institutions face no restrictions in their incentives to seek research grants and provide needed research for our State and Nation.
I am also recommending in this budget $3,500,000 as the first phase of funding for the research consortium which I announced last year....This $3,500,000 will be matched by an equal amount to be raised from the private sector....When the Georgia research consor tium is fully operational,...we will be able to coordinate our financial resources and maximize our research capabilities....Since announcing the research consortium,...we have seen over $5 million raised from the private sector for our research institutions in the Uni versity System of Georgia....These funds will allow us to fully formalize and organize the Georgia research consortium as a significant education and economic development tool.
In addition to the research consortium funds,...! am requesting $213,605 for the advanced technology development center located on the Georgia Tech Campus.
One last significant item in the university system's budget is our capital outlay....This year I am providing funds which will allow for $26 million in capital outlay construction projects for our colleges and universities to be allocated according to priorities set by the Board of Regents.
In the budget I am recommending to you today,...60.2 percent of all new funds availa ble for expenditure have been allocated to educational needs from kindergarten through college....This is a significantly higher percentage of new funds devoted to education than in past years....When this budget is implemented,...you and I together can be extremely proud of the fact that during the 1983-84 term,...we will have appropriated nearly one-half billion new dollars to education....No longer will our priorities be in doubt,...for the evi dence will show that education is truly our number one priority.
For the first time ever,...economic development activities are being recognized and itemized in all departments and agencies where they occur....Today I am announcing a package of economic development improvements totaling $81 million....This budget recom mendation reflects the coordinated approach I have attempted to instill in the area of eco nomic development...through the establishment of the economic development council,...a group of State department heads who meet regularly to determine goals and objectives and to share resources and ideas.
The first major recommendation in economic development funding in this budget is a $25.3 million financial assistance program for the Georgia Development Authority to pro vide grants and loans to local governments for water and sewer projects....! am also propos ing a new program to you which consolidates the developmental efforts of the Department of Transportation by adding motor fuel funds exceeding $5.5 million to go with existing funds to create a $30 million program aimed at developing industrial access roads,...developmental highways,...and for four-lane and passing lane improvements.
Our ports are one of Georgia's most important economic development assets,...and to continue our ongoing program of improvements there,...! am recommending a bond issue

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1984

63

totaling $34.5 million....These funds will construct a fifth container berth,...along with other improvements at Savannah.
While the State as a whole,...and many Georgians individually,...have enjoyed the ben efits of a rebounding economy,...we cannot overlook those citizens of our State who are less fortunate....One of the most significant improvement items anywhere in my budget recom mendations to you is a new program to help the medically needy....The recipients of this program will be the working poor;...people who do not quality for welfare because they work and earn too much money,...yet their earnings are not sufficient to provide their health needs.
I am recommending to you today that we create a new program,...at a total cost of $4 million,...one-third State funds and two-thirds Federal funds....The services of this pro gram will be targeted to provide ambulatory and hospital care to children under 18 and pregnant women to help them avoid health problems which could plague them for their entire lives and ultimately cost many millions more in tax dollars....! am recommending that the program begin on January 1, 1985,...and when it is fully implemented,...it will be approximately an $8 million annual program....This program will help county budgets and hospitals all over the State,...many of which are currently trying to provide these services totally with county funds.
In the area of youth services, I am recommending the construction of two regional youth development centers and additional staffing to ensure adequate security at existing youth development centers.
Many of you worked diligently with me to see the Community Care Act become State law,...and my budget recommendation to you includes funds that will allow us to imple ment this Act....By screening nursing home applicants, we can hope to find alternative means of serving these citizens...and thus avoid the high costs of nursing home care when possible--also in the area of community care,...I am recommending the expansion of the Supportive Living Program to help the mentally ill find community placements,...rather than hospitalization,...and in the area of mental retardation,...! am recommending funding for mentally retarded day service centers.
To help alleviate the problem of recruiting and retaining nurses for our State hospitals and institutions,...! am recommending the upgrading of certain nurses who are the most difficult to recruit and retain,...and funds for increased nurse night pay differential in mental retardation, mental health and rehabilitation facilities.
For Georgians who must receive public assistance through the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program,...! am recommending an increase of 3 percent to offset the cost of inflation.
Once again, I will be asking you to pass legislation removing all sales taxes on pre scription drugs effective January 1, 1985....My revenue estimate reflects the loss of $5 mil lion in revenues for the period January 1 through June 30, 1985....The payment of sales taxes on prescription drugs represents a hardship for many of our low-income citizens and those on fixed incomes.
Over the past 10 years,...no other department in State Government has grown as rap idly on a percentage basis as the Department of Offender Rehabilitation....Today, I am recommending $13.1 million in new funds to manage our prison population....These funds will provide for 510 new personnel and almost 1,300 new prison beds....! am also recom mending 38 new positions for the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to allow for closer and. more stringent supervision of parolees....In a continuation of my commitment to vigorous drug enforcement activities,...! am recommending eight new drug enforcement agents,...a new drug enforcement agent for the special projects section of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation,...and additional funds to purchase evidence--Additionally, I am formalizing my special prosecuting task force by recommending to you $170,000 to set up a special prosecution division in the State Law Department.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

My revenue estimate has been adjusted for some $25 million in income taxes that will result from a major improvement in collection procedures within the State Department of Revenue.
I am recommending an improvement package totaling $3.3 million for the Revenue Department which will vastly improve internal documents processing;...accelerate audit/collection improvements;...speed up the processing of motor vehicle titles,...and improve our efforts to stop tax evasion.
Almost 95 percent of our revenue comes from the Department of Revenue's collections....We have done very little in recent years to upgrade its capabilities to collect all taxes legally due the State....It does not make sense to scrimp in this area....By collect ing all of the taxes due the State,...we are helping to fund needed improvements and keep taxes at their present rate....With a return of $25 million on a $3.3 million expenditure,...surely this a good investment.
Today I have discussed only a few of the more significant highlights of the FY'85 bud get I am recommending....! am more than pleased with this budget:...! am extremely proud of it because it affords us the chance to make meaningful improvements in education,...in economic development,...in law enforcement and criminal justice,...and in our human ser vice delivery areas.
We have at hand the opportunity for an outstanding session which will result in new levels of harmony,...cooperation,...progress,...reform...and the sort of achievements which will make you proud to run for re-election this year.
Together let us seize these 40 days as the opportunity to restore the public's confi dence and trust in their government and in those they have chosen to serve them....! will be asking you to join me in passing major reform legislation aimed at doing just that....My proposal for temporarily suspending with pay local or State elected officials who are under indictment should go far toward removing the cloud which hangs over some portions of our State....As elected officials,...you and I are only too aware of the allegations and charges of wrongdoing in certain quarters of government....Even though these allegations pertain to only a few specific individuals,...we must work together to see that corrections are made.
Our State is today poised on the brink of greater progress than at any time in its history....around the nation and around the world,...Georgia enjoys a commanding presence....This is something that has been made extremely clear to me as I have traveled to other states for conferences with other governors...or around the world on economic development missions....We are a leader in virtually every area of State government,...from fiscal management--to economic development...to transportation...to protection of our nat ural resources--to education--to quality of life and human services.
I challenge each of you here today and all Georgians to renew our commitment to excellence...our pledge of cooperation--and our determination to continue our team spirit throughout 1984.
May God bless each of you.

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

"24-10-30. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Subscriber' means a person, firm, or corporation, or their legal representatives,
using the communication service or facilities or both of a telephone company. (2) 'Telephone company' means any person, firm, or corporation which engages in
furnishing service or facilities or both which are used by persons to verbally communi cate with others. (b) Except as may be necessary to provide the communication service or facilities, or activities necessary or incidental thereto, no telephone company may release to another any records maintained by it with respect to a subscriber or its communication service, or copies thereof or information therefrom, except with the written consent of the subscriber or pursuant to a lawful subpoena, notice to produce, or other lawful court order. (c) On and after the effective date of this Code section, any telephone company served with a subpoena for, notice to produce, or other court order requiring it to produce any records maintained by it with respect to a subscriber shall, within five days of the receipt of such subpoena, notice to produce, or other order, give written notice to the subscriber of that fact. The notice shall be mailed by regular United States mail, postage paid, to the address to which bills are sent for that service. The notice shall state:
(1) The date the document was received; (2) The person at whose instance the document was issued; and (3) The time and place a response is required to be made. A copy of the document shall also be enclosed with the notice. Proof of deposit of the notice in the mail shall be deemed a compliance with this Code section as of the date of the mailing. (d) Any person, firm, or corporation who violates the provisions of this Code section or induces another to violate the same shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (e) Each person who participates in the violation of the provisions of this Code sec tion shall be liable to the subscriber for liquidated damages in an amount not to exceed $1,000.00. (f) The provisions of this Code section shall not apply when: (1) The subpoena, notice to produce, or other court order is issued in connection with a hearing or other proceeding in a case pending in court to which case the sub scriber is a party; or (2) The subpoena is accompanied by an order of the judge of the court issuing the same that compliance with the provisions of this Code section is suspended for such time, not to exceed 90 days, as the order shall specify. Such an order may be issued only upon a written finding by such judge that based on competent evidence pre sented to him there is a reasonable cause to believe that the records sought contain evidence of a crime and that compliance with the provisions of this Code section will substantially impede the investigation thereof. Such order of suspension may be renewed for successive periods of 90 days upon a showing that the investigation is con tinuing and that the lifting of the suspension will impede its conclusion. (g) Nothing in this Code section shall prevent a telephone company from furnishing to another the name and address with respect to a particular telephone number."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"(c) (1) The council may establish a state-wide system for providing juvenile court legal case information on individuals to juvenile courts for the sole purpose of ensur ing effective rehabilitation, disposition or sentencing, supervision, and treatment of juveniles. The council, through its presiding judge and executive director, shall ensure that information on individuals disseminated is used solely for these purposes.

(4) (A) The council may provide to individual juvenile courts, upon request, data from any or all juvenile courts on children's prior juvenile court legal case informa tion for the purposes of making intake decisions and appropriate dispositions of cur rent cases. Such state-wide information shall be requested from the council only by officers of the court designated by the chief judge and approved by the council's executive director. Each officer, thus approved, shall be given a unique identifier which shall be registered in a log kept by the council and which must be used in requesting information. Officers of the court who may be approved to request such information are limited to the judge, the clerk of the court or his employees, a court employed intake or probation officer, or a court service worker assigned to provide probation or intake services to the court. Unique identifiers shall be changed period ically and whenever identified court officers or employees of the council authorized to release state-wide juvenile records are terminated.
(B) Legal case information transmitted to the court shall be filed with the clerk of the juvenile court, who shall be ordered to maintain a record of such information. Such information shall not be open to public inspection; but inspection of the record shall only be permitted to the judge, intake officer, probation officer, or court service worker assigned to the case. (5) Dissemination of such information to unauthorized parties or use of such infor mation for purposes other than authorized in this subsection shall be a misdemeanor or grounds for termination of employment with the council, user agency, or the court. Intentional dissemination or receipt of legal case information for purposes not autho rized in this Code section shall be punishable by the civil contempt power of the court or as a misdemeanor. (6) When it appears to the council that any court has not instituted sufficient pro cedural safeguards to ensure the privacy and security of juvenile court histories, the council, through its presiding judge and executive director, shall not release any fur ther information until that court demonstrates that adequate safeguards have been instituted. (7) After a child has been committed to the Division of Youth Services of the Department of Human Resources, a copy of the legal case information of the person committed shall be furnished to the agency receiving custody of the person for the sole purpose of establishing treatment or rehabilitation plans. Such information shall remain confidential. (8) The council may permit authorized representatives of recognized organizations compiling statistics for appropriate purposes to inspect and make abstracts from prior juvenile court histories under conditions to be determined by the council. Statistical information thus released shall not include a juvenile's name. (9) Information other than aggregate data contained in this system shall be subject to the provisions for sealing of records, as contained in Code Section 15-11-61."

(3) The money so appropriated to the State Department of Education shall be used for educational purposes and shall be available for the purposes of this Para graph regardless of whether the General Assembly enacts a general appropriations Act or not, but the General Assembly may appropriate funds for such educational pur poses in excess of the amount of money appropriated by this Paragraph.

The mill rate produced by such reduction shall then be certified to the authority levying the tax as the annual school tax levy for the school district, and except for those school districts which do not have a millage rate limitation on taxation for educational purposes.the mill rate so certified to the authority levying the tax shall not exceed the greater of 15 mills or a mill rate which is the difference between the lawful mill rate limitation in effect in the school district and the mill rate representing an amount equal to the proceeds of the sales tax for educational purposes received by the school district during the previous year pursuant to subparagraph (b)(2)(B) of Paragraph IV of this section.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subparagraph (c), no school district shall levy less than seven mills each year to support the maintenance and operation of the local school system; provided, however, those independent school systems which assess at a rate greater than 40 percent shall adjust their millage rate so that when so adjusted the millage rate would be equivalent to a rate equal to seven or more mills based upon the tax digest for such school system adjusted to 40 percent.

The amount by which any credit under this Paragraph would have exceeded $1,000.00 if it were not limited to $1,000.00 and any other excess credit resulting from the minimum levy shall be remitted by the local tax officials to the state in the same manner as state ad valorem taxes are remitted and shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury. The state revenue commissioner shall provide by regulation for the forms and procedures by which taxpayers shall claim and certify the credit, and the fis cal authorities of the various school systems shall make available to the appropriate tax ing officials funds sufficient to defray the actual administrative costs of this Paragraph.

Any credit erro neously or illegally granted, whether due to negligence or any other cause, shall be recov erable by the fiscal authority granting such credit in the same fashion as any other delinquent property tax.
(e) No credit authorized under this Paragraph shall be granted to any taxpayer unless such taxpayer pays his then current tax liability for ad valorem property taxes levied and expended for school purposes within the school district on or before the date such liability shall become due.
(f) There shall be granted as a credit against school taxes and each bill for ad valo rem school taxes on property shall show as a credit against school taxes, which otherwise would have been levied in the school district on such property to enable the district to raise the total of its revenues from the property tax, the amount of benefit to the tax payer as a result of the sales tax levied by Paragraph IV of this section.

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide that a judge may be suspended from office upon being indicted for a felony and may be removed from office upon being convicted of a felony in this state, in any other state, or in the United States and to provide for procedures and other matters relative thereto; to provide for submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article VI, Section VII of the Constitution is amended by striking there from Paragraph VII which reads as follows:
"Paragraph VII. Discipline, removal, and involuntary retirement of judges. Any judge may be removed, suspended, or otherwise disciplined for willful misconduct in office, or for willful and persistent failure to perform the duties of office, or for habit ual intemperance, or for conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, or for conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the judicial office into disrepute. Any judge may be retired for disability which constitutes a serious and likely permanent interference with the performance of the duties of office. The Supreme Court shall adopt rules of implementation.", and inserting in lieu thereof a new Paragraph VII to read as follows:
"Paragraph VII. Discipline, removal, and involuntary retirement of judges. (a) Any judge may be removed, suspended, or otherwise disciplined for willful miscon duct in office, or for willful and persistent failure to perform the duties of office, or for habitual intemperance, or for conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, or for con duct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the judicial office into dis repute. Any judge may be retired for disability which constitutes a serious and likely permanent interference with the performance of the duties of office. The Supreme Court shall adopt rules of implementation.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1984

657

(b) (1) Upon indictment for a felony in this state, in any other state, or in the United States of any judge, the Attorney General or district attorney shall transmit a certified copy of the indictment to the Judicial Qualifications Commission. The com mission shall, subject to subparagraph (b)(2) of this Paragraph, review the indictment, and, if it determines that the indictment relates to and adversely affects the adminis tration of the office of the indicted judge and that the rights and interests of the pub lic are adversely affected thereby, the commission shall suspend the judge immediately and without further action pending the final disposition of the case or until the expi ration of the judge's term of office, whichever occurs first. During the term of office to which such judge was elected and in which the indictment occurred, if a nolle prosequi is entered, if the public official is acquitted, or if after conviction the convic tion is later overturned as a result of any direct appeal or application for a writ of certiorari, the judge shall be immediately reinstated to the office from which he was suspended. While a judge is suspended under this subparagraph and until final convic tion, the judge shall continue to receive the compensation from his office. For the duration of any suspension under this subparagraph, the Governor shall appoint a replacement judge. Upon a final conviction with no appeal or review pending, the office shall be declared vacant and a successor to that office shall be chosen as pro vided in this Constitution or the laws enacted in pursuance thereof.
(2) The commission shall not review the indictment for a period of 14 days from the day the indictment is received. This period of time may be extended by the com mission. During this period of time, the indicted judge may, in writing, authorize the commission to suspend him from office. Any such voluntary suspension shall be sub ject to the same conditions for review, reinstatement, or declaration of vacancy as are provided in this subparagraph for a nonvoluntary suspension.
(3) After any suspension is imposed under this subparagraph, the suspended judge may petition the commission for a review. If the commission determines that the judge should no longer be suspended, he shall immediately be reinstated to office.
(4) The findings and records of the commission and the fact that the public offi cial has or has not been suspended shall not be admissible in evidence in any court for any purpose. The findings and records of the commission shall not be open to the
public. (5) The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any indictment handed
down prior to January 1, 1985. (6) If a judge who is suspended from office under the provisions of this subpara
graph is not first tried at the next regular or special term following the indictment, the suspension shall be terminated and the judge shall be reinstated to office. The judge shall not be reinstated under this provision if he is not so tried based on a con tinuance granted upon a motion made only by the defendant."

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

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide that certain public offi cials may be suspended from office upon being indicted for a felony and may be removed from office upon being convicted of a felony in this state, in any other state, or in the United States and to provide for procedures and other matters related thereto; to provide for submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article II of the Constitution is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Section III to read as follows:
"SECTION III. SUSPENSION AND REMOVAL
OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS
Paragraph I. Procedures for and effect of suspending or removing public officials upon felony indictment, (a) As used in this Paragraph, the term 'public official' means the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attor ney General, the State School Superintendent, the Commissioner of Insurance, the Com missioner of Agriculture, the Commissioner of Labor, and any member of the General Assembly.
(b) Upon indictment for a felony in this state, in any other state, or in the United States, of any public official, the Attorney General or district attorney shall transmit a certified copy of the indictment to the Governor or, if the indicted public official is the Governor, to the Lieutenant Governor who shall, subject to paragraph (d) of this Para graph, appoint a review commission. If the indicted public official is the Governor, the commission shall be composed of the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the State School Superintendent, the Commissioner of Insurance, the Commissioner of Agricul ture, and the Commissioner of Labor. If the indicted public official is the Attorney Gen eral, the commission shall be composed of three other public officials who are not members of the General Assembly. If the indicted public official is not the Governor, the Attorney General, or a member of the General Assembly, the commission shall be composed of the Attorney General and two other public officials who are not members of the General Assembly. If the indicted public official is a member of the General Assembly, the commission shall be composed of the Attorney General and one member of the Senate and one member of the House of Representatives. The commission shall provide for a speedy hearing, including notice of the nature and cause of the hearing, process for obtaining witnesses, and the assistance of counsel. Unless a longer period of time is granted by the appointing authority, the commission shall make a written report within 14 days. If the commission determines that the indictment relates to and affects the administration of the office of the indicted public official and that the rights and interests of the public are affected thereby, the Governor or, if the Governor is the

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

indicted public official, the Lieutenant Governor shall suspend the public official imme diately and without further action pending the final disposition of the case or until the expiration of the officer's term of office, whichever occurs first. During the term of office to which such officer was elected and in which the indictment occurred, if a nolle prosequi is entered, if the public official is acquitted, or if after conviction the conviction is later overturned as a result of any direct appeal or application for a writ of certiorari, the officer shall be immediately reinstated to the office from which he was suspended. While a public official is suspended under this Paragraph and until final conviction, the officer shall continue to receive the compensation from his office.
(c) Unless the Governor is the public officer under suspension, for the duration of any suspension under this Paragraph, the Governor shall appoint a replacement officer. If the Governor is the public officer under suspension, the provisions of Article V, Sec tion I, Paragraph V of this Constitution shall apply as if the Governor were temporarily disabled. Upon a final conviction with no appeal or review pending, the office shall be declared vacant and a successor to that office shall be chosen as provided in this Consti tution or the laws enacted in pursuance thereof.
(d) No commission shall be appointed for a period of 14 days from the day the indictment is received. This period of time may be extended by the Governor. During this period of time, the indicted public official may, in writing, authorize the Governor or, if the Governor is the indicted public official, the Lieutenant Governor to suspend him from office. Any such voluntary suspension shall be subject to the same conditions for review, reinstatement, or declaration of vacancy as are provided in this Paragraph for a nonvoluntary suspension.
(e) After any suspension is imposed under this Paragraph, the suspended public offi cial may petition the appointing authority for a review. The Governor or, if the indicted public official is the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor may reappoint the commission to review the suspension. The commission shall make a written report within 14 days. If the commission recommends that the public official be reinstated, he shall immedi ately be reinstated to office.
(f) The report and records of the commission and the fact that the public official has or has not been suspended shall not be admissible in evidence in any court for any pur pose. The report and record of the commission shall not be open to the public.
(g) The provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to any indictment handed down prior to January 1, 1985."

Such revenue bonds or obligations shall be issued pursuant to and in con formity with Article 3 of Chapter 82 of Title 36 of the O.C.G.A., known as the "Revenue Bond Law," and all procedures pertaining to such issuance and the conditions thereof shall be the same as those contained in said Revenue Bond Law and any amendments thereof.

The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered form, or both, as the authority may determine and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both the principal and interest.
Section 10. Signatures, seal. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such offi cer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and suffi cient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until such delivery. All such bonds shall be signed by the chairman of the authority and attested by the secretary-trea surer of the authority and the official seal of the authority shall be affixed thereto and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signatures of the chairman and sec retary-treasurer of the authority. Any bond may be signed, sealed, and attested on behalf of the authority by such persons as at the actual time of the execution of such bonds shall be duly authorized or hold the proper office, although at the date of delivery and payment of such bonds such persons may not have been so authorized or shall not have held such office.
Section 11. Negotiability; exemption from taxation. All revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall have and are declared to have all the qualities and inci dents of negotiable instruments under the negotiable instrument law of the state. Such bonds are declared to be issued for an essential public and governmental purpose and the said bonds, their transfer, and the income thereof shall be exempt from all taxation within the state.
Section 12. Sale, price. The authority may sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be for the best interest of the authority, but no such sale shall be made at a price less than par as provided in the Revenue Bond Law unless said Revenue Bond Law be hereafter amended to permit the sale of such bonds at less than par.
Section 13. Proceeds of bonds. The proceeds of such bonds shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the project or projects, and unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of any deficit for the cost of the project or projects which, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issu ance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, shall be deemed to be of the same issue and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without preference or priority of the bonds first issued for the same purposes. If the proceeds of the bonds of any issue shall exceed the amount required for the purpose for which such bonds are issued, the surplus

MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1984

859

shall be paid into a sinking fund or used for additional construction as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture.
Section 14. Interim receipts and certificates or temporary bonds.

Section 16. Conditions precedent to insurance, object of issuance. Such revenue bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or the happenings of any other condi tions or things than those proceedings, conditions, and things which are specified or required by this Act. In the discretion of the authority, revenue bonds of a single issue may be issued for the purpose of any particular project. Any resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds under the provisions of this Act shall become effective immedi ately upon its passage and need not be published or posted, and any such resolution may be passed at any regular or special or adjourned meeting of the authority by a majority of the quorum as provided in this Act.
Section 17. Credit not pledged. Revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this Act shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of Harris County, or any municipality therein, but such bonds shall be payable solely from the funds hereinafter provided for and the issuance of such revenue bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obli gate the said county or any municipality therein, to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for the payment, and all such bonds shall contain recitals on their face covering substantially the foregoing provisions of this section.
Section 18. Trust indenture as security. In the discretion of the authority, any issue of such revenue bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company inside or outside of the state. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign fees, tolls, revenues, and earnings to be received by the authority, including the proceeds derived from the sale from time to time of any surplus property of the authority, both real and personal. Either the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or such trust indenture may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the authority in relation to the acquisition of property, the construction of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair, and insur ance of the property, and the custody, safeguarding, and application of all moneys, includ ing the proceeds derived from the sale of property of the authority, both real and personal. The resolution may provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or architects employed or designated by the authority, and satisfactory to the original purchasers of the bonds issued therefor and may also require that the security given by contractors and by any depository of the pro ceeds of the bonds or revenues or other moneys be satisfactory to such purchasers, and may also contain provisions concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional reve nue bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state to act as such depository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such securities as may be required by the authority. Such indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, and may restrict the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may contain such other provisions as the authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation, and repair of the project affected by such indenture.

HB 987. By: Representatives Evans of the 84th and Burruss of the 20th: A BILL to amend Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to prop erty, so as to enact the "Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act" establishing guidelines for the management and use of investments held by eleemosynary institutions and funds; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to property, so as to enact the "Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act" establishing guide lines for the management and use of investments held by eleemosynary institutions and funds; to provide authority for the accumulation of income by such institutions and funds; to provide standards for the management of such institutions and funds; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other pur poses.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to property, is amended by adding a new Chapter 15 to read as follows:

MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1984

877

"CHAPTER 15
44-15-1. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act.'
44-15-2. As used in this chapter, the term: (1) 'Endowment fund" means an institutional fund, or any part thereof, not wholly
expendable by the institution on a current basis under the terms of the applicable gift instrument.
(2) 'Gift instrument' means a will, deed, grant, conveyance, agreement, memoran dum, writing, or other governing document, including the terms of any institutional solicitation from which an institutional fund resulted, under which property is trans ferred to or held by an institution as an institutional fund.
(3) 'Governing board' means the body responsible for the management of an insti tution or of an institutional fund.
(4) 'Institution' means an incorporated or unincorporated organization organized and operated exclusively for educational, religious, charitable, or other eleemosynary purposes or a governmental organization to the extent that it holds funds exclusively for any of these purposes.
(5) 'Institutional fund' means a fund held by an institution for its exclusive use, benefit, or purposes, but does not include:
(A) A fund held for an institution by a trustee that is not an institution; or (B) A fund in which a beneficiary that is not an institution has an interest, other than possible rights that could arise under violation or failure of the purposes of the fund. 44-15-3. The governing board may accumulate so much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 and may hold any or all of such accumulated income in an income reserve for subsequent expenditure for the uses and purposes for which such institutional fund is established or may add any or all of such accumulated income to the principal of such institutional fund, as is prudent under said standard. This Code section does not limit the authority of the governing board to accumulate income or to add the same to princi pal of an institutional fund as permitted under other law, the terms of the applicable gift instrument, or the charter of the institution. 44-15-4. Code Section 44-15-3 does not apply if and to the extent that the applicable gift instrument indicates the donor's intention that income of an institutional fund shall not be accumulated or shall not be added to the principal of the fund. A restriction against accumulation or addition to principal may not be implied from a designation of a gift as an endowment fund or from a direction or authorization in the applicable gift instrument to apply to the uses and purposes of the fund the 'income,' 'interest,' 'divi dends,' 'currently expendable income,' or 'rent, issues, or profits' or a direction which contains other words of similar import. This rule of construction applies to gift instru ments executed or in effect before or after the effective date of this chapter. 44-15-5. In addition to any investment otherwise authorized by law or by the applica ble gift instrument, and without restriction to investments a fiduciary may make, the governing board, subject to any specific limitations set forth in the applicable gift instru ment or in the applicable law other than law relating to investments by a fiduciary, may: (1) Invest and reinvest an institutional fund in any real or personal property deemed advisable by the governing board, whether or not it produces a current return, including mortgages, stocks, bonds, debentures, and other securities of profit or non profit corporations, shares in or obligations of associations, partnerships, or individu als, and obligations of any government or subdivision or instrumentality thereof; (2) Retain property contributed by a donor of an institutional fund for as long as the governing board deems advisable; (3) Include all or any part of an institutional fund in any pooled or common fund maintained by the institution; and (4) Invest all or any part of an institutional fund in any other pooled or common fund available for investment, including shares or interests in regulated investment companies, mutual funds, common trust funds, investment partnerships, real estate

878

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

investment trusts, or similar organizations in which funds are commingled and invest ment determinations are made by persons other than the governing board. 44-15-6. Except as otherwise provided by the applicable gift instrument or by applica ble law relating to governmental institutions or funds, the governing board may:
(1) Delegate to its committees, officers or employees of the institution or the fund, or agents, including investment counsel, the authority to act in place of the board in investment and reinvestment of institutional funds;
(2) Contract with independent investment advisors, investment counsel, or manag ers, banks, or trust companies, so to act; and
(3) Authorize the payment of compensation for investment advisory or manage ment services. 44-15-7. In the administration of the powers to accumulate income, to make and retain investments, and to delegate investment management of institutional funds, mem bers of a governing board shall exercise ordinary business care and prudence under the facts and circumstances prevailing at the time of the action or decision. In so doing they shall consider long and short-term needs of the institution in carrying out its educa tional, religious, charitable, or other eleemosynary purposes, its present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on its investments, price-level trends, and general economic conditions. 44-15-8. This chapter shall be so applied and construed as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law with respect to the subject of this chapter among those states which enact the 'Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act.'"
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.

"32-6-26. (a) (1) Except when so authorized by a permit issued pursuant to Code Section 32-6-28, no wheel on any vehicle operated upon any public road of this state equipped with high pressure pneumatic, solid rubber, or cushion tires shall carry a load which exceeds 8,000 pounds by more than 13 percent or an axle load which

MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1984

881

exceeds 16,000 pounds by more than 13 percent; no wheel equipped with low pressure pneumatic tires shall carry a load which exceeds 9,000 pounds by more than 13 per cent or any axle load which exceeds 18,000 pounds by more than 13 percent. An axle load shall be defined as the total load on all wheels whose centers may be included between two parallel transverse vertical planes 40 inches apart. Without regard to any other limitation in this Code section for tandem axle loads, any vehicle or combination of vehicles that is over 55 feet in length shall be limited to a maximum of 34,000 pounds for each set of tandem axles, except that the 34,000 pound tandem axle limita tion shall not apply to the exceptions contained in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Code Section 32-6-24. If the driver of any vehicle can comply with the requirements of this Code section by shifting the load and does so when requested by the proper authority, the driver shall not be held to be operating in violation of this Code section.
(2) (A) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, the maximum total gross weight of any vehicle and load shall not exceed 80,000 pounds and a tandem axle weight of 34,000 pounds, provided the overall gross weight in pounds on a group of two or more consecutive axles shall be as determined by the following for mula; however, any axle which can be raised or lowered, with respect to the horizon tal plane of the vehicle, either mechanically, hydraulically, by air pressure, or by any other means, shall not be counted, except that axles utilized by vehicles which were manufactured prior to July 1, 1978, as an individual or additional axle when deter mining gross weights authorized by the formula:
W = 500 ---- + 12 N + 36 N-l
Where W = overall gross weight on any group of two or more consecutive axles to the nearest 500 pounds, L = distance in feet between the extreme of any group of two or more consecutive axles, and N = number of axles in group under considera tion; except that two consecutive sets of tandem axles may carry a gross load of 34,000 pounds each provided the overall distance between the first and last axles of such consecutive sets of tandem axles is 36 feet or more; provided, further, that the maximum gross weight to be allowed on a tandem axle for a vehicle or combina tion of vehicles carrying a gross weight of less than 73,280 pounds shall be 40,680 pounds, except that for vehicles and combinations of vehicles exceeding 55 feet in length the tandem weight shall be limited to 34,000 pounds; provided, further, that the maximum gross weight to be allowed on a tandem axle shall be 34,000 pounds for a vehicle or combination of vehicles carrying a gross weight of more than 73,280 pounds. For determining gross weights on a tandem axle, a tandem axle shall be defined as two or more consecutive axles whose centers may be included between parallel vertical planes spaced more than 40 inches and not more than 96 inches apart, extending across the full width of the vehicle.
(B) Subject to the provisions of this article, the department is authorized, on behalf of the state, to enter into agreements with the United States Secretary of Transportation as provided in Section 127 of Title 23 of the United States Code relating to the control of vehicle weight and width limitations. The department is authorized to take action in the name of the state to comply with the terms of such agreement and to promulgate such rules and regulations necessary to ensure the department's compliance with federal laws and for the issuing of the special permit under this subsection. The department is authorized to reach an agreement with the United States Secretary of Transportation, pursuant to the above and may include in such agreement that any vehicles which were registered with the Department of Revenue prior to April 1, 1983, may be exempt from application of the formula for purposes of determining maximum allowable gross weight or combination of axle weights by axle grouping under the formula, and shall be allowed the use as an indi vidual or additional axle, when determining total gross weights, any axle which can be raised or lowered, with respect to the horizontal plane of the vehicle, either mechanically, hydraulically, by air pressure, or by any other means, provided the total gross weight of such vehicle or combination of vehicles does not exceed 73,280

882

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

pounds and such vehicle or combination of vehicles complies with the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection; provided, further, that such vehicle or combination of vehicles shall be required to obtain a special permit from the department, which shall be nontransferable, for identification purposes and that such exemption shall terminate on April 1, 1986.

By: Representatives Russell of the 64th and Adams of the 79th: A BILL to amend Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state government, so as to require a state agency to pay certain fees and costs to certain persons who have incurred expenses as a result of agency legal pro ceedings and hearings; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state govern ment, so as to require a state agency to pay certain fees and costs to certain persons who have incurred expenses as a result of agency legal proceedings and hearings; to provide a short title; to define certain terms; to provide for intent; to provide for judicial review of agency determinations relative to the payment of these fees and expenses; to provide for funds; to provide a termination date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state gov ernment, is amended by adding between Chapters 13 and 14 a new chapter, to be desig nated Chapter 13A, to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 13A
50-13A-1. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Equal Access to Jus tice Act.'
50-13A-2. (a) The General Assembly finds that certain individuals, partnerships, corporations, and other organizations may be deterred from seeking review of or defend ing against unreasonable governmental action because of the expense involved in securing the vindication of their rights in civil actions and in administrative proceedings.

920

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(b) The General Assembly further finds that, because of the greater resources and expertise of the state, the standard for an award of fees against the state should be dif ferent in certain situations from the standard governing an award against a private liti gant.
(c) It is the purpose of this chapter to diminish the deterrent effect of seeking review of or defending against governmental action by providing in specified situations an award of attorney fees, expert witness fees, and other costs against the State of Georgia.
50-13A-3. As used in this chapter, the term: (1) 'Adjudicative officer' means the deciding official, without regard to whether the
official is designated as an agency official, a hearing officer, a review board, or a judge. (2) 'Adversary adjudication' means a civil adjudication brought by the state or any
of its agencies against a party or brought by a party against the state or any of its agencies concerning the violation or enforcement of any civil statute or implementa tion of a rule or regulation. An adversary adjudication does not include an adjudica tion for the purpose of establishing or fixing a rate. An adversary adjudication may be before a court or an administrative agency.
(3) 'Agency' means the State of Georgia and each state board, bureau, commission, department, division, authority, institution, or activity or any officer acting in an offi cial capacity and authorized by law to make rules and regulations, except for political subdivisions.
(4) 'Employee' does not include a person who works less than 20 hours per week. (5) 'Fees and other expenses' includes the reasonable expenses of expert witnesses, the reasonable cost of any study, analysis, engineering report, test, or project which
is found by the adjudicative officer to be necessary for the preparation of the party's case, and reasonable attorney or agent fees. The amount of fees awarded under this chapter shall be based upon prevailing market rates of the kind and quality of the
services furnished, except that: (A) No expert witness shall be compensated at a rate in excess of the highest
rate of compensation for expert witnesses paid by the agency involved in that adju
dication or enforcement action; and (B) Attorney or agent fees shall not be awarded in excess of $75.00 per hour
unless the adjudicative officer finds that an increase in the cost of living or a special
factor, such as the limited availability of qualified attorneys or agents for the pro ceedings involved, justifies a higher fee. (6) 'Party' means a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, association, or
public or private organization other than an agency of state government employing 100 employees or less at the time the adversary adjudication was initiated.
50-13A-4. (a) In addition to any costs which are awarded as prescribed by law, an agency or court that conducts an adversary adjudication shall award to a prevailing
party other than the State of Georgia or its agencies fees and other expenses incurred by that party in connection with that proceeding unless the adjudicative officer finds that the position of the agency as a party to the proceeding was substantially justified
or that special circumstances make an award unjust. The burden of proof of substantial justification or special circumstances shall rest with the agency. No award shall be made
to any party who voluntarily intervenes in the proceeding. (b) A party seeking an award of fees and other expenses shall, within 30 days of a
final disposition in the adversary adjudication, submit to the agency or court an applica
tion which shows that the party is a prevailing party and is eligible to receive an award under this Code section and the amount sought, including an itemized statement from any attorney, agent, or expert witness representing or appearing in behalf of the party
stating the actual time expended and the rate at which fees and other expenses were computed. The party shall also allege that the position of the agency was not substan
tially justified. (c) The adjudicative officer may reduce the amount sought to be awarded or deny
an award only: (1) To the extent that the party during the course of the proceedings engaged in
conduct which unduly and unreasonably protracted the final resolution of the matter
in controversy; or

TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1984

921

(2) If the prevailing party refused an offer of civil settlement which was at least as favorable to the party as the relief ultimately granted. (d) The decision of an agency adjudicative officer under this Code section shall be made a part of the record containing the final decision of the agency and shall include written findings and conclusions and the reason or basis therefor. 50-13A-5. A party dissatisfied with the fee determination made by an adjudicative officer of an agency under Code Section 50-13A-4 may appeal to the superior court of the county where the adversary adjudication occurred to review the merits of the under lying decision of the agency adversary adjudication. If the court grants the appeal, it may modify the determination if it finds that the failure to make an award or the calcu lation of the amount of the award was an abuse of discretion. The decision of the court shall not be appealable. 50-13A-6. (a) Fees and other expenses awarded under this chapter shall be paid within a reasonable time, not to exceed 180 days from the date of the award, by an agency over which the party prevails from any funds made available to the agency by appropriation or otherwise, except that no funds may be appropriated to any such agency specifically for the purpose of paying fees and other expenses awarded under this chapter. (b) Each agency that pays fees or other expenses under this chapter shall report annually to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees of the General Assembly the amount of fees and other expenses paid during the preceding fiscal year by that agency. In its report the agency shall describe the number, nature, and amount of the awards paid, the claims involved in the action, and other relevant information which might aid the General Assembly in evaluating the scope and impact of these awards. 50-13A-7. The provisions of this chapter apply only to legal and administrative legal proceedings initiated on or after July 1, 1984. 50-13A-8. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the state or its agencies from negoti ating or attempting to negotiate a settlement of claims arising under this chapter or from paying such settlements and their associated costs. 50-13A-9. The provisions of this chapter shall be repealed in their entirety on June 30, 1988."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representative Lambert of the 66th moves to amend the Committee substitute t6 HB 872 by striking on line 20 of page 1, the words, "certain individuals".

(c) At its first meeting in each year, the members of the authority shall elect from among themselves a chairman and such other officers of the authority as may be required by the authority, for a term of one year.
Section 5. Revenue bonds. Revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations issued by an authority shall be paid solely from the property (including but not limited to real prop erty, fixtures, personal property, revenues, or other funds) pledged, mortgaged, conveyed, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered to secure or to pay such bonds, notes, or other obligations. All revenue bonds, notes, and other obligations shall be authorized by resolution of the authority, adopted by a majority vote of the directors of the authority at a regular or special meeting. Such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations shall bear such date or dates; shall mature at such time or times not more than 40 years from their respective dates; shall bear interest at such rate or rates (which may be fixed or may fluc tuate or otherwise change from time to time); shall be subject to redemption on such terms; and shall contain such other terms, provisions, covenants, assignments, and condi tions as the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds, notes, or other obligations may permit or provide. The terms, provisions, covenants, assignments, and conditions con tained in or provided or permitted by any resolution of the authority authorizing the issu ance of such revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations shall bind the directors of the authority then in office and their successors. The authority shall have power from time to time and whenever it deems refunding expedient to refund any bonds by the issuance of new bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured, and may issue bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for any other purpose permitted under this Act. The refunding bonds may be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded with such cash adjustments as may be agreed upon or may be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase or redemption of the bonds to be refunded. There shall be no limitation upon the amount of revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations which any authority may issue. Any limitations with respect to interest rates or any maximum interest rate or rates found in the usury laws of the State of Georgia, or any other laws of the State of Georgia shall not apply to revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations of an authority.
Section 6. Provisions and obligations; limitations and procedures, (a) Subject to the limitations and procedures provided by this section, the agreements or instruments exe cuted by an authority may contain such provisions not inconsistent with law as shall be determined by the board of directors of the authority.
(b) The proceeds derived from the sale of all bonds, notes, and other obligations issued by an authority shall be held and used for the ultimate purpose of paying, directly or indirectly as permitted in this Act, all or part of the cost of any project or for the pur pose of refunding any bonds, notes, or other obligations issued in accordance with the pro visions of this Act.
(c) Issuance by an authority of one or more series of bonds, notes, or other obliga tions for one or more purposes shall not preclude it from issuing other bonds, notes, or other obligations in connection with the same project or with any other projects, but the proceeding wherein any subsequent bonds, notes, or other obligations shall be issued shall recognize and protect any prior loan agreement, mortgage, deed to secure debt, trust deed, security agreement, or other agreement or instrument made for any prior issue of bonds, notes, or other obligations unless in the resolution authorizing such prior issue the right is expressly reserved to the authority to issue subsequent bonds, notes, or other obligations on a parity with such prior issue.
(d) The authority shall have the power and is authorized, whenever bonds of the authority shall have been validated as provided in this Act, to issue from time to time its notes in anticipation of such bonds as validated and to renew from time to time any such

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1984

1167

notes by the issuance of new notes, whether the notes to be renewed have or have not matured. The authority may issue such bond anticipation notes only to provide funds which would otherwise be provided by the issuance of the bonds as validated. Such notes may be authorized, sold, executed, and delivered in the same manner as bonds. As with its bonds, the authority may sell such notes at public or private sale. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing notes of the authority or any issue thereof may contain any provi sions which the authority is authorized to include in any resolution or resolutions authoriz ing bonds of the authority or any issue thereof, and the authority may include in any notes any terms, covenants, or conditions which the authority is authorized to include in any bonds. Validation of such bonds shall be a condition precedent to the issuance of such notes, but it shall not be required that such notes be judicially validated. Bond anticipa tion notes shall not be issued in an amount exceeding the par value of the bonds in antici pation of which they are to be issued.
(e) All bonds issued by the authority under this Act shall be issued and validated under and in accordance with the Revenue Bond Law, as heretofore and hereafter amended, except as provided in this Act, provided that notes and other obligations of the authority may, but shall not be required to, be so validated.
(1) Bonds issued by an authority may be in such form, either coupon or fully regis tered or both coupon and fully registered, and may be subject to exchangeability and transferability provisions as the bond resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or any indenture or trust agreement may provide.
(2) Bonds shall bear a certificate of validation. The signature of the clerk of the superior court of the judicial circuit in which the issuing authority is located may be made on the certificate of validation of such bonds by facsimile or by manual execu tion stating the date on which such bonds were validated, and such entry shall be original evidence of the fact of judgment and shall be received as original evidence in any court in this state.
(3) In lieu of specifying the rate or rates of interest which bonds to be issued by an authority are to bear, the notice to the district attorney or Attorney General; the notice to the public of the time, place, and date of the validation hearing; and the petition and complaint for validation may state that the bonds when issued will bear interest at a rate not exceeding a maximum per annum rate of interest (which may be fixed or may fluctuate or otherwise change from time to time) specified in such notices and petition and complaint or that, in the event the bonds are to bear differ ent rates of interest for different maturity dates, that none of such rates will exceed the maximum rate (which may be fixed or may fluctuate or otherwise change from time to time) so specified; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or restricting the right of the authority to sell such bonds at a discount, even if in doing so the effective interest cost resulting therefrom would exceed the maximum per annum interest rate specified in such notices and in the petition and complaint.
(4) The terms "cost of the project" or "cost of any project" shall have the meaning prescribed in this Act whenever referred to in bond resolutions of an authority; in bonds, notes, or other obligations of an authority; or in notices or proceedings to vali date such bonds, notes, or other obligations of an authority.
Section 7. Purpose and declaration of need. The development of mass transit and public transportation projects within Cobb County, Georgia, develops and promotes, for the public good and general welfare, trade, commerce, industry, and employment opportu nities and promotes the general welfare of the state by creating a climate favorable to the location of new industry, trade, and commerce and the development of existing industry, trade, and commerce within Cobb County and the State of Georgia. Development of mass transit and public transportation projects within this district under the Act will develop and promote, for the public good and general welfare, trade, commerce, industry, and employment opportunities and will promote the general welfare of the state. It is therefore in the public interest and is vital to the public welfare of the people of Georgia, and it is declared to be the public purpose of this Act to so develop public transportation projects within this district in Cobb County, Georgia.

Section 8. Construction of Act. The provisions of this Act shall be liberally construed to effect the purpose hereof. The offer, sale, or issuance of bonds, notes, or other obliga tions by any authority shall not be subject to regulation under the Georgia laws regulating the sale of securities, as heretofore and hereafter amended. No notice, proceeding, or pub lication except those required by this Act shall be necessary to the performance of any act authorized by this Act nor shall any such act be subject to referendum.
Section 9. Bonds, notes, and other obligations not to constitute public debt. No bonds, notes, or other obligations of and no indebtedness incurred by the authority shall constitute an indebtedness or obligation of the State of Georgia or any county, municipal corporation, or political subdivision thereof nor shall any act of the authority in any man ner constitute or result in the creation of an indebtedness of the state or any such county, municipal corporation, or political subdivision. No holder or holders of any such bonds, notes, or other obligations shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the state or any county, municipal corporation, or political subdivision thereof nor to enforce the payment thereof against the state or any such county, municipal corpo ration, or political subdivision.
Section 10. Tax exemption of authority. The authority is created for nonprofit and public purposes, and it is found, determined, and declared that the creation of the authority and the carrying out of its corporate purposes is in all respects for the benefit of the people of the state; that the authority is an institution of purely public charity and will be performing an essential governmental function in the exercise of the power con ferred upon it by this Act; and for such reasons the state covenants with the holders from time to time of the bonds, notes, and other obligations issued hereunder that the authority shall not be required to pay any taxes or assessments imposed by the state or any of its counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, or taxing districts upon any prop erty acquired by the authority or under its jurisdiction, control, possession, or supervision or leased by it to others or upon its activities in the operation or maintenance of any such property or on any income derived by the authority in the form of fees, recording fees, rentals, charges, purchase price, installments, or otherwise; and that the bonds, notes, and other obligations of the authority, their transfer, and the income therefrom shall at all times be exempt from taxation within the state. The tax exemption shall not include any exemption from sales and use tax on property purchased by the authority or for use by the authority.
Section 11. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudica tion 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, sen tence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not origi nally 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 12. Effect on other authorities. This Act shall not affect any other authority now or hereafter existing under general or local constitutional amendment or general or local law.
Section 13. Effective date. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

1202

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 3. (a) The homestead of each resident of Harris County, which homestead is actually occupied by the owner or lessee as a residence and only so long as the home stead is actually occupied by the owner or lessee as such, is exempted in the amount of $4,000.00 from all county and county school district ad valorem taxes.
(b) In addition to the exemption provided for in subsection (a) of this section, the homestead of each resident of Harris County who is 65 years of age or older and who has a net income not exceeding $8,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes, which homestead is actually occupied by the owner or lessee as a res idence and only so long as the homestead is actually occupied by the owner or lessee as such, is exempted in the amount of $2,000.00 from all county ad valorem taxes. For the purposes of this subsection, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor, or disability benefits under the federal Social Security Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability, or pension system, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this subsection.
(c) Except to the extent that a resident of Harris County is qualified for any other homestead exemption under the Constitution or general law, the value of the homestead in excess of the above exempted amount or amounts shall remain subject to ad valorem taxation by Harris County. No resident shall receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he or his agent provides the governing authority of the county, or a per son designated by the governing authority, with an affidavit stating that he is a resident and that the property is his homestead and residence and containing such additional infor mation as will enable the governing authority to make a determination as to whether such person is entitled to such exemption. The governing authority shall provide the necessary forms for such purpose. No resident who is entitled to the additional exemption as pro vided for in subsection (b) of this section shall be qualified to receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he files an affidavit with the governing authority of Harris County, or with the person designated by the governing authority of Harris County, giving his age and the amount of income which he receives and such additional information as may be required to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemption. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemptions and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of home stead exemptions, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, shall apply thereto; but after any such person has filed the proper application and certificates as provided in this section and has been allowed the exemption provided in this Act, it shall not be nec essary that he make application and file said certificates thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such person. It shall be the duty of any such person, however, to notify the governing authority in the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemptions provided in this Act. The General Assembly may pro vide by law for the proper administration of this exemption, including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemptions provided in this Act shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1984.
Section 4. It shall be the duty of the election superintendent of Harris County to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting this Act to the electors of Har ris County for approval or rejection. The superintendent shall set the date of such election for the same date as the date of the general primary election of 1984. The superintendent shall issue the call for such election at least 30 days prior to the date thereof. The superin tendent shall cause the date and purpose of the election to be published once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the date thereof in the official organ of Harris County. The ballot shall have written or printed thereon the words:
) YES Shall the act changing and increasing the homestead exemptions granted ) NO to residents of Harris County be approved?"

All persons desiring to vote for approval of the Act shall vote "Yes," and those per sons desiring to vote for rejection of the Act shall vote "No." If more than one-half of the

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6,1984

The expense of such election shall be borne by Harris County. It shall be the duty of the superintendent to hold and conduct such election. It shall be his further duty to certify the result thereof to the Secretary of State.

born out of wedlock; to provide for sanctions for failure to be served or failure to obey summons; to provide for appointment of counsel and guardians ad litem and the expenses thereof; to provide for standard of proof; to provide for physical or mental evaluations; to provide for confidentiality; to provide for hearings; to provide for custody of certain chil dren; to provide for certain conflicts; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 11 of Title 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to juvenile proceedings, is amended by designating that part of the existing Chapter 11, beginning with Code Section 15-11-1, as Article 1, and by striking "chapter," wherever it appears in that newly designated article, and inserting in its place "article."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking from the newly designated Article 1 thereof subsection (a) of Code Section 15-11-41, relating to duration of orders of the juvenile court, which reads as follows:
"(a) An order terminating parental rights is without limit as to duration.", and inserting in its place a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Reserved."
Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by striking from newly designated Article 1 thereof Code Sections 15-11-51 through 15-11-54, which read as follows:
"15-11-51. (a) The court by order may terminate the parental rights of a parent with respect to his child if:
(1) The parent has abandoned the child; (2) The child is a deprived child and the court finds that the conditions and causes of the deprivation are likely to continue or will not be remedied and that by reason thereof the child is suffering or will probably suffer serious physical, mental, moral, or emotional harm; (3) The written consent of the parent acknowledged before the court has been given; provided, however, that acknowledgment before the court is not necessary where the parent or parents voluntarily surrender the child for adoption as provided by Code Sections 19-8-3, 19-8-4, 19-8-6, and 19-8-7; or (4) A decree has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction of this or any other state ordering the parent, guardian, or other custodian to support the child and the parent, guardian, or other custodian has wantonly and willfully failed to comply with the order for a period of 12 months or longer. (b) If the court does not make an order of termination of parental rights it may grant an order under Code Section 15-11-34 if the court finds from clear and convincing evidence that the child is a deprived child. 15-11-52. (a) The petition shall comply with Code Section 15-11-25 and shall state clearly that an order for termination of parental rights is requested and that the effect thereof will be as stated in the first sentence of Code Section 15-11-53. (b) If the paternity of a child born out of wedlock has been established in a judicial proceeding to which the father was a party prior to the filing of the petition, the father shall be served with summons as provided by this chapter. Such father has the right to be heard unless he has relinquished all paternal rights with reference to the child. The putative father of the child whose paternity has not been so established, upon proof of his paternity of the child, may appear in the proceedings and be heard. In either event nothing in this Code section shall be construed to preclude the father's petitioning for custody of the child. At the time of the hearing, upon proof of paternity being shown to the court, the father shall be allowed to petition for custody of the child and the court shall grant same, if such is in the best interest of the child. If the identity and location of a putative father are known or can be ascertained by reasonable efforts, he shall be notified of the proceeding to terminate parental rights by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at his last known address. 15^11-53. An order terminating the parental rights of a parent terminates all his rights and obligations with respect to the child and all rights and obligations of the child to the parent arising from the parental relationship, including rights of inheritance. The

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1984

13

parent is not thereafter entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the chiij by another nor has he any right to object to the adoption or otherwise to participate in the proceedings.
15-11-54. (a) If, upon the entering of an order terminating the parental rights of a parent, there is no parent having parental rights, the court shall commit the child to the custody of the Department of Human Resources or a licensed child-placing agency willing to accept custody for the purpose of placing the child for adoption or, in the absence of an adoption, in a foster home, or to take other suitable measures for the care and welfare of the child.
(b) The custodian has authority to consent to the adoption of the child, his marriage, his enlistment in the armed forces of the United States, and surgical and other medical treatment for the child.
(c) If the child is not adopted within two years after the date of the order and a gen eral guardian of the child has not been appointed, the child shall be returned to the court for entry of further orders for his care, custody, and control.", and inserting in their place new Code Sections 15-11-51 through 15-11-54 to read as fol lows:
"15-11-51. Reserved. 15-11-52. Reserved. 15-11-53. Reserved. 15-11-54. Reserved."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end thereof a new Arti cle 2 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 2 15-11-80. An order terminating the parental rights of a parent under this article is without limit as to duration and terminates all the parent's rights and obligations with respect to the child and all rights and obligations of the child to the parent arising from the parental relationship, including rights of inheritance. The parent is not thereafter entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the child by another, nor has the parent any right to object to the adoption or otherwise to participate in the proceedings. 15-11-81. (a) The court by order may terminate the parental rights of a parent with respect to the parent's child if:
(1) The written consent of the parent, acknowledged before the court, has been given; provided, however, that acknowledgment before the court is not necessary where the parent or parents voluntarily surrender the child for adoption as provided by Code Sections 19-8-3, 19-8-4, and 19-8-7;
(2) A decree has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction of this or any other state ordering the parent, guardian, or other custodian to support the child and the parent, guardian, or other custodian has wantonly and willfully failed to comply with the order for a period of 12 months or longer;
(3) The parent has abandoned the child or the child was left under circumstances such that the identity of the parent is unknown and cannot be ascertained, despite diligent searching, and the parent has not come forward to claim the child within three months following the finding of the child; or
(4) The parent is unfit, or the conduct or condition of the parent is such as to render the parent unable to care properly for the child and such conduct or condition is unlikely to change or is likely to recur in the forseeable future.
(A) In determining unfitness, conduct, or condition of a parent under this para graph, the court shall consider, without being limited to, the following:
(i) Emotional illness, mental illness, mental retardation, or deficiency of the parent, of such duration or nature as to render the parent unlikely to care for the ongoing physical, mental, or emotional needs of the child;
(ii) Conduct toward a child of a physically, emotionally, or sexually cruel or
abusive nature; (iii) Excessive use of or history of chronic abuse of intoxicating liquors, narcotic
or dangerous drugs, marijuana, or controlled substances; (iv) Physical, mental, or emotional neglect of the child;

(ii) Failure to maintain regular visitation or other contact with the child as designed in a court approved plan to reunite the child with the parent;

(iv) Inability or lack of effort on the part of the parent to adjust his circum stances, conduct, or conditions to meet the needs of the child. (b) In considering termination of parental rights under subsection (a) of this Code section, the court shall give primary consideration to the physical, mental, and emotional condition and needs of the child and determine whether termination is in the best inter est of the child.
(c) If the court does not make an order of termination of parental rights, it may grant an order under Code Section 15-11-34 if the court finds from clear and convincing evidence that the child is a deprived child.
15-11-82. (a) The petition to terminate parental rights and all subsequent court documents in the proceeding shall be entitled 'In the matter of _______________, a child.', except upon appeal, in which event the anonymity of the child shall be preserved by appropriate use of initials. The petition shall be in writing.
(b) The petition may be made by a juvenile court counselor or officer of that court, or employee of any public or private licensed child-caring agency, or by any interested person. In the event that the petition is made by an interested person, the petition shall be endorsed by the court pursuant to Code Section 15-11-23.
(c) A petition made by a juvenile court counselor or officer of that court, or employee of a public or private licensed child-caring agency may be on information and belief of the petitioner. In all other cases the petition shall be made on the personal knowledge of the petitioner and shall be verified.

(b) A copy of the petition shall be attached to the summons in all cases other than service by publication. When served by publication, the notice shall indicate the general nature of the allegations and where a copy of the petition may be obtained by any per son required to be named in paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Code Section 15-11-82. All summons shall contain a statement to the effect that the hearing is for the purpose of terminating parental rights.

The putative father of the child whose paternity has not been so established, upon proof of his paternity of the child, may appear in the proceedings and be heard. If the identity of the putative father is unknown, the court may require the mother to execute an affi davit regarding the putative father as provided in Code Section 19-8-4 or show cause before the court if she refuses. If the identity and location of a putative father are known or can be ascertained by reasonable efforts, he shall be notified of the proceed ings to terminate parental rights by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at his last known address. The court shall enter an order terminating the rights of the
putative father if the court finds from the evidence that reasonable effort has been made to identify and locate him without success and if it finds that he has not lived with the
child, nor contributed to its support, nor made any attempt to legitimate the child, and that he did not provide support for the mother, including medical care, either during her pregnancy or during her hospitalization for the birth of the child. If the court finds
from the evidence that reasonable effort has not been made to identify and locate the putative father, it shall direct the Department of Human Resources or a licensed childplacing agency to expend such additional effort, as the court shall specify, in the identi
fication and location of the putative father and to report the results of the additional efforts to the court and shall continue the hearing until the additional effort has been expended and the results reported. If the court finds from the evidence that the putative
father either lived with the child, or contributed to its support, or attempted to legiti
mate the child, or provided support for the mother, including medical care, during her pregnancy or during her hospitalization for the birth of the child, then the court shall
determine from the evidence whether such conduct by the putative father was sufficient to establish a familial bond between the putative father and the child. If the court finds
that the conduct was sufficient to establish a familial bond, then the court shall enter an appropriate order designed to afford the putative father notice of the surrender, con sent, or proceeding to terminate. The court shall not include the name of the mother
in any public notice to the putative father if his name is known to the court. If the court finds that such conduct was not sufficient to establish a familial bond, then the court
shall enter an order terminating the rights of the putative father. At the time of the hearing, upon proof of paternity being shown to the court, the father shall be allowed to petition for custody of the child and the court shall grant same, if such is in the best
interest of the child. 15-11-84. (a) If any person named in and properly served with summons shall with
out reasonable cause fail to appear or, when directed in the summons, to bring the child
before the court, then the court may issue a bench warrant for such person, directing that that person be taken into custody and brought before the court.
(b) If the summons cannot be served, or if the person to whom the summons is directed fails to obey it, the court may issue an order to take the child into protective
custody. 15-11-85. (a) In any proceeding for terminating parental rights, or any rehearing or
appeal thereon, the court, in its discretion, may appoint an attorney to represent the
child as his counsel and may appoint a guardian ad litem who may be the same person
as his counsel. (b) If the parent or parents of the child desire to be represented by counsel but are
indigent, the court shall appoint an attorney for such parent or parents, which shall be a charge upon the funds of the county upon certification thereof by the court in the
same manner as authorized for other expenses under Code Section 15-11-56. 15-11-86. In all proceedings under this article, the standard of proof to be adduced
to terminate parental rights shall be by clear and convincing evidence.

insured persons. Such books and records shall be maintained in accordance with prudent standards of insurance record keeping. The Commissioner or his designee shall have access to such books and records for the purpose of examination, audit, and inspection.

Such funds shall be imme diately remitted to the person or persons entitled thereto or shall be deposited promptly in a fiduciary bank account established and maintained by the administrator. If charges or premiums so deposited have been collected on behalf of or for more than one insurer, the administrator shall cause the bank in which such fiduciary account is maintained to keep records clearly recording the deposits in and withdrawal from such account on behalf of or for each insurer. The administrator shall promptly obtain and keep copies of all such records and, upon request of an insurer, shall furnish such insurer with copies of such records pertaining to deposits and withdrawals on behalf of or for such insurer. The administrator shall not pay any claim by withdrawals from such fiduciary account. Withdrawals from such account shall be made, as provided in the written agreement between the administrator and the insurer, for:
(1) Remittance to an insurer entitled thereto; (2) Deposit in an account maintained in the name of such insurer; (3) Transfer and deposit in a claims-paying account, with claims to be paid as pro vided in Code Section 33-23-109; (4) Payment to a group policyholder for remittance to the insured entitled thereto; (5) Payment to the administrator of its commission, fees, or charges; or (6) Remittance of return premiums to the person or persons entitled thereto. 33-23-109.

With respect to any policies where an administrator adjusts or settles claims, the compensation to the administrator with regard to such policies shall in no way be contingent on claim experience. This Code section shall not prevent the compen sation of an administrator from being based on premiums or charges collected or num ber of claims being paid or processed. 33-23-111. Where the services of an administrator are utilized, the administrator shall provide a written notice approved by the insurer to insured individuals advising them of the identity of and relationship among the administrator, the policyholder, and the insurer. Where an administrator collects funds, it must identify and state separately in writing to the person paying to the administrator any charge or premium for insur ance coverage the amount of any such charge or premium specified by the insurer for such insurance coverage. 33-23-112. The provisions of this article shall not apply to those trusts regulated by the federal government of the United States."

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Solar Energy Tax Credit Act of 1984."
Section 2. Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to the imposition, rate, and computation of income tax, is amended by add ing immediately following Code Section 48-7-29.1 a new Code section to read as follows:
"48-7-29.2. (a) Any person or corporation who files an income tax return and who has not been claimed for that tax year as a dependent by another Georgia taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against such tax in an amount equal to 20 percent of the cost of materials and installation of solar water heating systems, active solar space heating sys tems, industrial and agricultural solar process heating equipment, and photovoltaic sys tems and 10 percent of the cost of materials and installation of passive solar space heating systems. Such solar systems must be installed:
(1) On premises in Georgia which are owned and controlled by the taxpayer at the time of installation; or
(2) On newly constructed premises in Georgia which are purchased by the taxpayer from the builder of the premises, if the builder has not taken the credit provided by this Code section for a solar system on the premises. (b) The credit provided for in subsection (a) shall be taken in the tax year in which the cost is incurred and shall not exceed $1,000.00. (c) In the case of husband and wife filing separate returns, the credit may be taken by either or divided between them but not more than one such credit shall be taken in any tax year by a husband and wife filing separately. (d) In the case where the amount of the tax credit exceeds the taxpayer's income tax or corporate tax liability, a credit shall be allowed the taxpayer against the succeeding years' tax liability until such credit has been exhausted. (e) For purposes of this Code section, passive solar space heating is the use of solar energy to heat indoor space using the principles of conduction, convection, and radiant heat transfer. Passive solar space heating systems include: (1) solar collection area, (2) absorber, (3) storage, (4) a method of heat distribution, and (5) a heat regulation device; except that a system intended for daytime use only need not have storage. (f) The Office of Energy Resources is authorized to establish, in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act,' rules and regulations for the purpose of determining which solar energy systems shall qualify for the credit provided in subsection (a) of this Code section. (g) The provisions of this Code section shall apply to any qualified solar energy sys tem purchased after January 1, 1984, and prior to January 1, 1990."
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.

HB 886. By: Representative Dobbs of the 74th: A BILL to amend Part 1 of Article 3 of Chapter 5 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the Department of Administrative Services and state purchasing in gen eral, so as to provide that the policy of the state is that all bills owed by the state will be paid on time; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute 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 the Department of Administrative Services and state purchasing in general, so as to provide that the policy of the state is that all bills owed by the state and its institutions and agencies will be paid in a timely manner; to provide for definitions; to provide for certain prompt payment methods; to provide for interest penalties on late payments by the state; to provide methods of interest penalty payments in certain circum stances; 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 the Department of Administrative Services and state purchasing in general, is amended by adding a new Code Section 50-5-82, to read as follows:
"50-5-82. (a) This Code section shall be known as the 'Georgia Prompt Payment Act.'
(b) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Proper invoice' means an invoice which conforms with all statutory require
ments and with all requirements specified by the state agency to which the invoice is submitted if:
(A) Such requirements have been adopted by formal action of the state agency taken prior to the transaction to which the invoice applies; and
(B) The state agency made such requirements available to vendors. (2) 'Purchase' means the purchase of services by a state agency, the purchase or lease of personal property by a state agency, or the lease of real property by a state agency.

1246

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(3) 'State agency' means the State of Georgia and each state agency, office, board, bureau, commission, department, branch, division, authority, or institution or any project supported by state funds.
(4) 'Vendor' means any person who sells services to any state agency, sells or leases personal property to a state agency, or leases real property to a state agency. (c) It is the policy of this state that payment for all purchases by the state and state agencies will be made in a timely manner. (d) The time at which payment for a purchase by a state agency is due shall be cal culated from the later of the date on which a proper invoice is received by the state agency or: the time at which delivery of personal property is accepted by the state agency; the time at which services are completed; or the end of a rental period. General rules of contract and commercial law shall determine the time at which delivery of per sonal property is accepted or services are completed. (e) Each state agency shall establish procedures whereby each invoice received by the state agency shall be marked as having been received on the date on which it is first delivered into the hands of an agent or employee of the state agency or is first delivered to a facility or office of the state agency. The date so marked shall be the date on which the invoice is received, except that any vendor may himself establish the date on which an invoice was received by a state agency by mailing the invoice to the state agency by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. (f) The time at which payment shall be due from a state agency shall be:
(1) Seven days from the date specified in subsection (d) of this Code section in the case of purchases of meat and meat products, fish and shellfish, edible fresh or frozen poultry, poultry meat food products, fresh eggs, and perishable egg products;
(2) Ten days from the date specified in subsection (d) of this Code section in the case of purchases of groceries, vegetables, fresh fruit, and other perishables not described in paragraph (1) of this subsection; and
(3) Thirty days from the date specified in subsection (d) of this Code section in the case of purchases other than those involving items described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection.
(g) If the terms under which a purchase is made allow for partial deliveries and a proper invoice is submitted for such a partial delivery, then the time for payment for such partial delivery shall be calculated from the time of such partial delivery and sub mission of such invoice, in the same manner as otherwise provided for in this Code sec tion.
(h) All payments due from state agencies and not made within the time specified by this Code section shall bear interest from the date they are due at the rate of 1 percent per month. Any overdue period of less than one month shall be considered as one month in computing interest. Unpaid interest shall compound monthly. With respect to each past due payment, interest shall cease to accrue after interest on that payment has accrued for 12 months. For purposes of this Code section, one month shall constitute a period beginning on any day of one month and ending on the same day of the follow ing month.
(i) When paving an invoice upon which any interest has accrued, each state agency shall make payment of such accrued interest at the same time as the principal amount is paid. No state agency shall require a vendor to separately request or bill for accrued interest.
(j) In any case in which an improper invoice is submitted, the state agency shall within ten days after the improper invoice is received by it deliver or mail to the vendor a written notice that the invoice is improper. Such notice shall state what corrective action on the part of the vendor is needed to make the invoice proper. Failure by a state agency to give such written notice within such ten-day period shall result in the improper invoice being considered as a proper invoice for purposes of computing the date on which interest begins to accrue, except that if the vendor fails to submit a proper invoice by the thirtieth day after such written notice is actually given then inter est shall as of such date cease to accrue until such time as payment becomes due follow ing submission of a proper invoice.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1984

1247

(k) For purposes of this Code section, the date on which a state agency makes pay ment shall be the date on which payment is delivered to the vendor or is postmarked as having been deposited in the United States mail for delivery to the vendor.
(1) In the event a dispute occurs between a vendor and a state agency concerning payment of an invoice, such disagreement shall be finally determined by the state agency as provided in this Code section. Each state agency shall establish a dispute reso lution procedure to be followed by the state agency in cases of such disputes. Such pro cedure shall provide that proceedings to resolve the dispute shall be commenced not later than 30 days after the date on which the proper invoice was received by the state agency and shall be concluded by final decision of the state agency not later than 60 days after the date on which the proper invoice was received by the state agency. Such procedures shall not be subject to the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act,' Chapter 13 of this title; and such procedures shall not constitute an administrative proceeding which prohibits a court from deciding de novo any action arising out of the dispute. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the state agency, then interest shall begin to accrue 15 days after the state agency's final decision. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the vendor, then interest shall begin to accrue as of the original date the payment became due.
(m) If a vendor offers to a state agency a discount from the price otherwise agreed on for payment prior to the date on which payment comes due under this Code section, the state agency shall not take such discount unless payment is made by the state agency within the discount period fixed by the vendor. If a state agency takes an unau thorized discount, interest shall begin to accrue on the unpaid balance on the date the discount offer expires, if the vendor notifies the state agency within ten days thereafter that the discount was not authorized.
(n) On transactions of $500.00 or less the state agency shall whenever possible make payment within five days after the date specified in subsection (d) of this Code section.
(o) With respect to transactions of $100,000.00 or more, the state agency and the vendor may vary or waive the provisions of this Code section by agreement between them. With respect to any transaction of less than $100,000.00 the state agency and the vendor may by agreement provide that payment shall be due sooner than the due date specified by this Code section or provide for otherwise lawful prepayments, but the pro visions of this Code section may not be varied or waived so as to provide that payments shall be due later than the date specified by this Code section.
(p) This Code section shall not affect any other law which expressly requires reten tion of funds.
(q) A state agency which intends to pay for a purchase with federal funds shall not make such purchase without reasonable assurance that federal funds to cover the cost thereof will be received. Where payment or the time of payment is contingent on receipt of federal funds or federal approval, any contract and any solicitation to bid shall clearly state such contingency.
(r) Any interest payment required by this Code section shall be made from funds appropriated or otherwise available to the purchasing state agency. No state agency shall request any new or increased appropriation to fund interest payments required by this Code section. Each state agency shall during January of each year report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees the number of interest payments made by it during the preceding fiscal year and the total amount of such payments."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1984.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The operating permit shall be posted conspicuously in the car of an elevator and on or near an escalator, manlift, moving walk, or dumbwaiter.
(d) If the enforcement authority has reason to believe that any owner or lessee to whom an operating permit has been issued is not complying with the applicable rules and regulations specified in subsection (b) of Code Section 8-2-104, it shall so notify such owner or lessee and shall give notice of a date for a hearing thereon to such owner or lessee.

(e) The Commissioner shall also have the power in any particular case to grant exceptions and variations from the literal requirements of the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to subsection (c) of this Code section. Such exceptions and variations shall be granted only in any particular case where it is clearly evident that they are nec essary to prevent undue hardship or where the existing conditions prevent compliance with the literal requirements of the rules and regulations.

8-2-107.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to local gov ernment, is amended by adding at the end of Chapter 82, relating to bonds, a new Article 7 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 7
36-82-160. (a) Any downtown development authority created pursuant to Chapter 42 of this title, any development authority created pursuant to Chapter 62 of this title, any resource recovery development authority created pursuant to Chapter 63 of this title, and any other authority created by or pursuant to a local law or local constitu tional amendment for the purpose of developing or promoting trade, commerce, indus try, or employment opportunities or for other similar purposes shall file with the Department of Community Affairs a statement with respect to all bonds, notes, and other obligations which such authority issues, and such statement shall contain with respect to each such issue of bonds, notes, or other obligations:
(1) The name and address of the authority; (2) The date of the issue and the face amount of the issue; (3) The name and address of the principal user or principal users, determined based upon reasonable expectations at the time of issuance, of any facilities provided with the proceeds of the issue; and (4) A general description of the type of project financed with proceeds of the issue.

Such statement may, at the authority's option, be filed separately with respect to each issue at the time of issuance or at any time thereafter through the fif teenth day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter during

1266

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

which such bonds, notes, or other obligations were issued. The Department of Commu nity Affairs may, for cause shown, grant an extension of the time within which such fil ing is required. The requirements of this subsection shall apply to bonds, notes, and other obligations which are issued on or after July 1, 1984.
(b) The Department of Community Affairs may prescribe or designate a form on which the information required by subsection (a) of this Code section shall be filed.

(c) Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, the requirements of subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to:
(1) Any hospital authority created pursuant to Article 4 of Chapter 7 of Title 31; (2) The Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia, created pursuant to Article 3 of Chapter 3 of Title 46; or (3) The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, created pursuant to Ga. L. 1965, p. 2243, as amended. The authorities listed above are specifically excluded in order to make clear that subsec tion (a) of this Code section does not apply to them, but such specific exclusion is not intended to imply that these authorities would otherwise be covered by subsection (a) of this Code section."

"(c) Each authority shall file with the Department of Community Affairs, not later than the last day of January of each year, a statement with respect to all bonds, notes, and other obligations which it issued during the immediately preceding calendar year, and such statement shall contain with respect to each such issue of bonds, notes, or other obligations:
(1) The name and address of the authority; (2) The date of the issue and the face amount of the issue; (3) The name and address of the principal user or principal users, determined based upon reasonable expectations at the time of issuance, of any facilities provided with the proceeds of the issue; and (4) A general description of the type of project financed with proceeds of the issue. The Department of Community Affairs may, for cause shown, grant an extension of the time within which such filing is required. Such filing shall be informational only, shall not affect any action taken or to be taken by any authority, and shall be deemed to be made upon mailing to the Department of Community Affairs in Atlanta, Georgia. Such statement may, at the authority's option, be filed separately with respect to each issue at the time of issuance or any time thereafter prior to January 31 of the next year. The requirements of this subsection (c) shall apply to bonds, notes, and other obligations which are issued after November 1, 1983.", and inserting in its place the following: "(c) Reserved."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

Such permission shall not be required, however, if the person hunting or a member of his immediate family is the owner of the land, the lessee of the land, or the lessee of the game rights of the land.
(b) If the land is adequately posted and if the owner of the land, lessee of the land, or lessee of the game rights of the land has informed a law enforcement agency that per mission to hunt upon the land must be in writing, then the permission required by sub section (a) of this Code section must be in writing and must be carried on his person by the hunter.

(e) Any owner of land, lessee of land, or lessee of the game rights to land who gives permission to another person to hunt upon the land shall be entitled to the same protec tion from civil liability provided by Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Title 51 for landowners who allow the public to use their land for recreational purposes."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 12 of Title 17 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the legal defense of indigents, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Article 4 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 4
17-12-70. The General Assembly finds that counties in this state with large popula tions can best provide defense services for indigent persons accused of crimes through the office of a public defender.
17-12-71. (a) In all counties 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 in which there has been established an office of public defender for the county and in which there has been established a position of county manager, there shall be estab lished a nominating committee whose duty shall be to interview those persons licensed to practice law in this state and who are competent to counsel and defend a person charged with a crime and who have expressed an interest in filling a vacancy or antici pated vacancy of the position of public defender of said county. This committee shall be further empowered to interview persons other than those who have expressed an interest in such office but shall not nominate such other person without such person's consent.
(b) (1) This committee shall consist of a representative selected by each of the associations existing at the time this article becomes effective in such county and whose members are made up of those individuals who are licensed to practice law in this state and whose practice is primarily in the courts which have been established by this state in said county. In addition, if any one of such association's membership equals or exceeds the combined membership of the other such county associations, then the chairman of the criminal law section of that association shall also be a mem ber of this committee.
(2) The Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers shall also appoint one of its members to serve on this committee. Such appointee shall be a resident of the county and be an attorney whose practice is primarily in the courts established by the State of Georgia in such county. (c) The committee so established shall, after conducting the interviews, send to the county manager of such county the names of those three attorneys whom it deems to be the best qualified. Thereafter, this committee shall make itself available, upon the request of the person appointed as public defender, to advise and assist in any matters pertaining to the operation of the office of public defender. (d) The county manager may, in his discretion, interview the three nominees and shall appoint one of said nominees to serve as public defender for said county for a term of four years. The term of office of the initial public defender appointed pursuant to this article shall begin January 1, 1985. (e) The person so appointed must be licensed to practice law in this state. During his incumbency, the public defender may not engage in the practice of criminal law other than in the discharge of the duties of his office. (f) The public defender so appointed shall employ at the compensation authorized by the county governing authority as many assistant public defenders, clerks, investiga tors, stenographers, and other persons as may be necessary for carrying out the responsi bilities under this article. A person employed under this subsection serves at the pleasure of the public defender unless his position is under a civil service system in which he may be removed only for cause. (g) The county governing authority shall provide appropriate facilities, including office space, furniture, equipment, books, postage, supplies, and interviewing facilities in the jail, necessary for carrying out the public defender's responsibilities under this arti cle or shall grant the public defender an allowance in place of such facilities. (h) If an office of public defender is or has been established, the compensation, expenses, and allowances and the expense necessary to establish, maintain, and support

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1984

1347

the office shall be paid by the county governing authority out of public funds available for the operation of the courts in the county.
(i) This article expressly recognizes the inherent power of the court to appoint coun sel to represent indigent defendants and to order compensation, reimbursement, or advancement from county funds in individual cases as the proper administration of jus tice may require.
(j) Members of the county governing authority and administrative personnel, while acting in such capacity, shall be immune from legal actions arising from any actions in relation to the implementation and carrying out of the purposes of this article.
17-12-72. Nothing in this article shall operate to prevent any county from establish ing a local indigent defense program as provided by Article 2 of Chapter 12 of this title, 'The Georgia Indigent Defense Act.'"
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.

HB 1296.

By: Representatives Phillips of the 125th, Hooks of the 116th, Hirsch of the 96th, and Chambless of the 133rd: A BILL to amend Chapter 8 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to care and protection of indigent and elderly patients, so as to provide for legislative findings and purpose; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Chapter 8 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to care and protection of indigent and elderly patients, so as to provide for legislative find ings and purpose; to provide for definitions; to require certain hospitals to provide emer gency medical services to pregnant women in labor; to provide for transfer of such patients; to provide for determination of indigency; to require counties to pay for emer gency hospital care required to be furnished to certain pregnant women; to provide for immunity from liability; to provide for damages and other relief against certain hospitals and health care providers; to provide for actions by the Department of Human Resources; to provide for civil and criminal penalties; to provide for administrative and judicial review; to provide for rules and regulations; to provide for construction; to repeal conflict ing laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 8 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to care and protection of indigent and elderly patients, is amended by adding immediately following Article 2 thereof a new article to read as follows:

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1984

1357

"ARTICLE 2A
31-8-40. The General Assembly finds that Georgia's high rates of infant mortality and morbidity are costly to the state in terms of human suffering and of expenditures for long-term institutionalization, special education, and medical care. It is well documented that appropriate care during pregnancy and delivery can prevent many of the expensive, disabling problems our children experience. The State of Georgia is mak ing progress in improving services and funding. However, the General Assembly is con cerned that some women continue to be refused service for financial reasons at hospitals when they request admission after labor has begun. It is the purpose of this article to assure that no hospital denies available, appropriate emergency services to a woman who seeks hospital care for the safe delivery of her child and to assure that counties assume a share of the responsibility in meeting this critical need for their residents who receive care.
31-8-41. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Cost of care' means the cost of services rendered by a hospital for care
required to be provided thereby under this article at the reimbursement rate currently in effect for the hospital under the medical assistance program for the needy under Title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.A. Section 1396, et seq.), as amended, but shall not include any portion of such cost which is paid by the indigent patient, by the spouse or a relative of the indigent patient, by insurance, or by any governmen tal or other public agency pursuant to any federal, state, or local program paying cost of health care for indigent patients, other than the program established by this article.
(2) 'Hospital' means a hospital which is permitted to operate by the department pursuant to Article 1 of Chapter 7 of this title.
(3) 'Indigent patient' means a patient who is a resident of this state who has been certified as an indigent pursuant to Code Section 31-8-43. 31-8-42. Any hospital which operates an emergency service shall provide the appro priate, necessary emergency services to any pregnant woman who presents herself in active labor to the hospital, which services shall be provided within the scope of gener ally accepted practice based upon the information furnished the hospital by the preg nant woman, including such information as the pregnant woman reveals concerning her prenatal care, diet, allergies, previous births, general health information, and other such information as the pregnant woman may furnish the hospital. If, in the medical judg ment of the physician responsible for the emergency service, the hospital must transfer the patient because the hospital is unable to provide appropriate treatment, the hospital where the patient has presented herself shall:
(1) Within the capabilities of the hospital provide such emergency services as the circumstances require, which services shall be provided within the scope of generally accepted practice based upon the information furnished the hospital by the pregnant woman, including such information as the pregnant woman reveals concerning her prenatal care, diet, allergies, previous births, general health information, and other such information as the pregnant woman may furnish the hospital;
(2) Contact an appropriate receiving hospital and notify such hospital that the patient is in transit;
(3) Arrange suitable transportation for the patient if necessary and establish responsibility for the patient in transit; and
(4) Send to the receiving hospital any available information on the patient's his tory and condition. The transfer shall not be authorized until the physician considers the patient sufficiently stabilized for transport. 31-8-43. (a) The commissioner of human resources shall adopt state-wide standards to determine indigency for the purposes of this article. To the extent practicable, such standards shall be based on similar standards adopted for the purpose of determining the ability to pay of patients receiving services in state hospitals as authorized by state law, as now or hereafter enacted, governing responsibility for payment of cost of care for health care services rendered by state hospitals.

1358

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(b) Within 30 days after receiving the standards provided by the commissioner pur suant to subsection (a) of this Code section, the governing authority of each county, by resolution, shall designate a person, to be known as the health care advisory officer of the county, to make a determination of indigency for the residents of the county in accordance with the standards promulgated pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code sec tion. The health care advisory officer shall carry out such additional duties as may be assigned to him by the governing authority of the county. It shall be the duty of the governing authority of each county to mail a copy of such resolution to the chief admin istrative officer of each hospital within 15 days after its adoption. The governing author ity of any county may change the person designated as the health care advisory officer, but any such change shall be accomplished by resolution of the governing authority, and a copy of the resolution making such change shall be mailed to the chief administrative officer of each hospital within 15 days after its adoption.
(c) When a patient receives health care from a hospital, which care that hospital is required to provide the patient under Code Section 31-8-42, and when such patient claims inability to pay cost of care because of indigency, the chief administrative officer of the hospital shall notify, in writing, the health care advisory officer of the county of residence of the patient. Such notification shall request a determination of indigency of the patient. As soon as practicable after receiving such notification but not later than 30 days thereafter, the health care advisory officer of the county shall notify the chief administrative officer of the hospital of his determination. If the health care advisory officer determines that the patient is indigent or if the health care advisory officer of a county fails to respond to a request for a determination of indigency from a hospital providing health care for such patient within the time limitation provided by this sub section, the county of residence of the patient shall be liable for the payment of cost of care of such patient in the hospital rendering the emergency service. In such event, the hospital providing health care for the patient may bill the county of residence of the patient for the amount of the patient's cost of care, and it shall be the duty of the governing authority of such county to pay the hospital the amount billed.
(d) To the end that the certifications of indigency required by subsection (c) of this Code section may be expedited, it shall be the duty of each county health care advisory officer to establish and maintain files showing the names of county residents determined to be indigent.
(e) It shall be the duty of the commissioner to devise such standard forms as may be necessary or desirable to administer this Code section uniformly. It shall be the duty of counties, health care advisory officers, and hospitals to use the forms promulgated by the commissioner pursuant to this subsection.
31-8-44. No physician, nurse, or other such medical assistant, nor the hospital or any of its agents or employees shall be guilty of malpractice or civilly liable therefor unless the physician, nurse, or other medical assistant, or the hospital, its agent, or employee has been grossly negligent in the provision of such services or has willfully failed to com ply with the provisions of this article. No action shall be brought under this article with out a specific allegation of gross negligence.
31-8-45. If a hospital fails or refuses to provide treatment or services pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 31-8-42, a person aggrieved by such failure or refusal shall have a cause of action against the hospital for damages and for such other relief as the court having jurisdiction of the action deems proper. No person shall be prohibited from maintaining such an action for failure to exhaust any rights to administrative relief.
31-8-46. (a) If the department receives notice that a violation by a hospital of Code Section 31-8-42 is in progress, the department shall immediately order an investigation to determine whether or not there has been a violation and upon finding that a violation has occurred shall immediately order the hospital to comply with that Code section.
(b) If a hospital violates Code Section 31-8-42, the department shall assess a civil penalty of $500.00 for each such violation. Any such civil penalty shall be imposed by the department only after notice and hearing as provided in Article 1 of Chapter 5 of this title. Any person or facility subject to a civil penalty under this Code section is enti tled to judicial review in accordance with Article 1 of Chapter 5 of this title. All civil

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1984

1359

penalties recovered by the department under this Code section shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury.
(c) Any hospital held to be in violation of Code Section 31-8-42 more than three times within any 12 month period shall be subject to suspension or revocation of license by the Department of Human Resources.
(d) The Department of Human Resources is authorized and directed to promulgate appropriate rules and regulations for the enforcement of this article.
(e) Nothing in this article shall be construed to preempt any other law or to deny to any individual any rights or remedies which are provided by or under any other law."
Section 2. 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 1296 by striking lines 26 through 32 of page 5 and inserting in their place the following:
"for the payment of cost of care of such patient in the hospital or hospitals rendering the emergency services.

The Committee substitute, as amended, was adopted.

Section 2. Chapter 7 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the Georgia Firemen's Pension Fund, is amended by designating subsection (a) of Code Section 47-7-40, relating to eligibility to make application for membership in the fund, as paragraph (1) of subsection (a) and adding at the end of subsection (a) a new paragraph (2) to read as follows:

(A) At the time of making application the applicant acquires credit for at least that number of years of the applicant's prior eligible service, as defined in this para graph, which when added to the service for which the applicant may thereafter receive credit by service as a fireman or volunteer fireman prior to normal retirement age of 55, will provide the applicant with not less than 20 years of creditable service prior to normal retirement age of 55;
(B) The applicant acquires credit for prior eligible service, as defined in this para graph, but not in excess of eight years, by the payment to the fund at the time of making application of an amount equal to that amount that would have been paid had contributions been made during such period of prior eligible service, at the monthly rate which is in effect at the time of application, for each month for which credit is sought, together with simple interest on that amount at the rate per annum specified in this paragraph from the date on which such contributions would have been made until paid; and

(C) The applicant makes application for membership in the fund not earlier than September 1, 1984, and not later than November 1, 1984. 'Prior eligible service' means service rendered by an applicant after January 1, 1974, but before September 1, 1984, as a fireman or volunteer fireman, without interruption prior to the date of application, after the applicant reached the age of 30 years, and for which the applicant would have been otherwise eligible for credit had the applicant been a member of the fund at the time the service was rendered. Interest shall be calculated at a rate rounded to the nearest one-fourth of 1 percent which is equal to 2 Vz percent age points plus the monthly index, expressed in terms of percentage interest per annum, of the monthly average of the daily yields on all outstanding United States Treasury Bonds issued except such bonds as are redeemable at par for payment of federal estate taxes, with 30 years remaining to final maturity as compiled by the United State Trea sury Department and as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the monthly Federal Reserve Bulletin for the month of July, 1984, but not in any event less than 8 percent per annum."

(b) Effective July 1^ 1988, the dues required each month under subsection (a) of this Code section shall be increased to the sum of $15.00 each month."

Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 48-5-47, relating to applications for homestead exemptions by certain individuals 65 years of age or over, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"48-5-47.

One such exemption is the homestead exemption granted to certain individuals 65 years of age or over by the seventh unnumbered subparagraph of Article VII, Section Ji Paragraph IV of the Constitution which reads as follows:
'Each person who is sixty-five (65) years of age or over is hereby granted an exemp tion from all State and county ad valorem taxes in the amount of $4,000.00 on a homestead owned and occupied by him as a residence if his net income, together with the net income of his spouse who also occupies and resides at such homestead, as net income is defined by Georgia law, from all sources, except as hereinafter provided, does not exceed $8,000.00 for the immediately preceding taxable year for income tax purposes. For the purposes of this paragraph, net income shall not include income received as retirement, survivor or disability benefits under the Federal Social Secu rity Act or under any other public or private retirement, disability or pension system, except such income which is in excess of the maximum amount authorized to be paid to an individual and his spouse under the Federal Social Security Act, and income from such sources in excess of such maximum amount shall be included as net income for the purposes of this paragraph. The value of the residence in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. Any such owner shall not receive the benefits of such homestead exemption unless he, or through his agent, files an affidavit with the tax commissioner or tax receiver of the county in which he resides, giving his age and the amount of income which he and his spouse received during the last taxable year for income tax purposes, and such additional information relative to receiving the benefits of such exemption as will enable the tax commissioner or tax receiver to make a determination as to whether such owner is entitled to such exemp tion. The tax commissioner or tax receiver shall provide affidavit forms for this pur pose. Such applications shall be processed in the same manner as other applications for homestead exemption, and the provisions of law applicable to the processing of homestead exemptions, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, shall

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

apply thereto. Provided, that after any such owner has filed the proper affidavit, as provided above, and has been allowed the exemption provided herein, it shall not be necessary that he make application and file the said affidavit thereafter for any year and the said exemption shall continue to be allowed to such owner. It shall be the duty of any such owner, however, to notify the tax commissioner or tax receiver jn the event he becomes ineligible for any reason for the exemption provided in this par agraph. The General Assembly may provide by law for the proper administration of this exemption including penalties necessary therefor. The increased exemption pro vided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980.' Said provisions of the Constitution of 1976 shall continue in effect as statutory law until otherwise provided for by law. (b) The application for the homestead exemption of individuals 65 years of age or older provided for by subsection (a) of this Code section shall be in the form prescribed by the commissioner. The application shall require the applicant's social security num ber. The tax commissioner or tax receiver shall be authorized to have the statement of income of any claimant verified by the department upon sending the social security number of a claimant to the department."

One such exemption is the homestead exemption granted, subject to the other provisions of this Code section, to disabled veterans and their surviving spouses and minor children by the sixth unnumbered subparagraph of Article VII, Section I, Paragraph IV of the Constitu tion of 1976 which reads as follows:
'Each disabled veteran, as hereinafter defined, who is a citizen and resident of Geor gia, is hereby granted an exemption of $25,000.00 on his homestead, which he owns and which he actually occupies as a residence and homestead, such exemption being from all ad valorem taxation for State, county, municipal and school purposes. The value of all property in excess of the above exempted amount shall remain subject to taxation. The term "disabled veteran", as used herein, means a disabled American vet eran of any war or armed conflict in which any branch of the armed forces of the United States engaged, whether under United States command or otherwise, and who is disabled due to loss, or loss of use, of both lower extremities, such as to preclude locomotion without the aid of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair, or blindness in both eyes, having only light perception, plus loss, or loss of use, of one lower extremity, or due to the loss, or loss of use, of one lower extremity together with residuals of organic disease or injury which so affect the functions of balance or pro pulsion as to preclude locomotion without resort to a wheelchair. The unremarried widow or minor children of any such disabled veteran, as defined herein, shall also be entitled to an exemption of $25,000.00 on the homestead so long as the unremarried widow or minor children continue to actually occupy the home as a residence and homestead, such exemption being from all ad valorem taxation for State, county, municipal and school purposes. The value of all property in excess of the exemption granted herein to the veteran, his unremarried widow or minor children shall remain subject to taxation. The State Revenue Commissioner is hereby authorized and directed to notify each tax collector, tax receiver and tax commissioner in this State in the event this amendment to the Constitution is ratified by the electorate. The exemption provided for herein shall apply to all taxable years beginning after Decem ber 31, 1978.' Said provisions of the Constitution of 1976 shall continue in effect as statutory law until otherwise provided for by law."
