JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

generally, so as to authorize the Safety Fire Commissioner to grant variances to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter under certain circumstances; to authorize certain local governments to grant variances to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter under certain circumstances; to change the provisions relating to the types of buildings and structures which constitute a special hazard to property or to the life and safety of persons on account of fire or panic from fear of fire; to define certain terms; to exempt buildings or structures used exclusively for agriculture from special fire safety standards applicable to buildings which present a special hazard; to change the provisions relating to buildings or structures designated "historic property" or located within a designated "historic district"; to provide construction and fire safety standards for landmark museum buildings and historic buildings; to exempt landmark museum buildings and historic buildings from certain laws and regulations; to provide for rules and regulations; to provide for other matters relative thereto; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 2 of Title 8 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to standards and requirements for construction and alteration of buildings and other structures, is amended by adding a new Article 3 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 3
8-2-200. This article shall be known and may be cited as 'The Uniform Act for the Application of Building and Fire Related Codes to Existing Buildings.'
8-2-201. (a) It is a purpose of this article to encourage the sensitive rehabilitation, restoration, stabilization, or preservation of existing buildings throughout this state and to encourage the preservation of buildings and structures deemed to be historic in total or in part; provided, however, such rehabilitation and preservation efforts should provide for the upgrading of the safety features of the building or structure to provide a practical level of safety to the public and surrounding property. It is the further purpose of this article to provide guidance regarding acceptable alternative solutions and to stimulate enforcement authorities to utilize alternative compliance concepts wherever practical to permit the continued use of existing buildings and structures without overly restrictive financial burdens on owners or occupants.
(b) The provisions of this article shall not be applicable to new construction. 8-2-202. As used in this article, the term:
(1) 'Enforcement authority' means the Safety Fire Commissioner, the state fire marshal, local building officials, local fire marshals, or any other state or local officials responsible for the implementation, application, or enforcement of any state law or local ordinance relating to building construction, or any state or local rule or regulation relating to building construction, or any building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety or fire prevention codes, or other construction standards that apply or are intended to apply to existing buildings. The term 'enforcement authority' also means any local official designated by the local governing authority as the enforcement authority for the purposes of this article.
(2) 'Existing building or structure' means any completed building or structure which has been placed in service for a minimum of five years.
(3) 'Safety Fire Commissioner' or 'Commissioner' means the office created in Code Section 25-2-2. 8-2-203. The provisions of this article shall be mandatory and binding on the state fire marshal, the Safety Fire Commissioner, and other state officials responsible for state building code, fire code, life safety code, or other construction code enforcement. This article is not mandatory or binding on local enforcement authorities; provided, however, that any local building, fire, life safety, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or other construction code enforcement authority may apply the applicable provisions of this article to any existing building whenever the local governing authority has adopted this article by reference and whenever such local code enforcement authority determines the need to utilize compliance alternatives to any provisions of the rules, regulations, codes, or

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1984

standards he or she is empowered to interpret, apply, or enforce under authority of any state law or local ordinance. This article is a tool for use of code enforcement authorities to use as deemed appropriate in attempting to resolve problems encountered while enforcing codes and standards with regard to existing buildings and structures. Enforcement authorities should advise appropriate appeals boards of the provisions, purposes, and intent of this article.
8-2-204. The provisions of this article shall require any state code enforcement authority and shall permit any authorized local code enforcement authority to permit the repair, alteration, addition, or change of use or occupancy of existing buildings without total compliance with any state or local rule, regulation, code, or standard for new construction requirements under the following general conditions:
(1) All noted conditions hazardous to life, based on the provisions of applicable state and local standards or codes for existing buildings, shall be corrected to a reasonable and realistic degree as set forth in this article, with specific attention to Code Sections 8-2-214 through 8-2-219;
(2) The existing building becomes the minimum performance standard; and (3) The degree of compliance of the building after changes must not be below that existing before the changes. Nothing in this article will require nor prohibit compliance with requirements more stringent than those provided in this article. 8-2-205. With reference to existing buildings, authorized enforcement authorities
should give special attention to the conditions or defects described in this Code section in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 8-2-204, so as to assure any such con-
ditions or defects are identified and corrected as deemed appropriate by the enforcement authority having jurisdiction based on applicable state and local codes and through the utilization of appropriate compliance alternatives:
(1) Structural. Any building or structure or portion thereof which is in imminent
danger of collapse because of but not limited to the following factors: (A) Dilapidation, deterioration, or decay; (B) Faulty structural design or construction;
(C) The removal, movement, or instability of any portion of the ground necessary for the purpose of supporting such building; or
(D) The deterioration, decay, or inadequacy of the foundation; (2) Number of exits. Less than two approved independent, remote, and properly protected exit ways serving every story of a building, except where a single exit way
is permitted by the applicable state or local fire or building code or life safety code; (3) Capacity of exits. Any required door, aisle, passageway, stairway, or other
required means of egress which is not of sufficient capacity to provide for the popula-
tion of the portions of the building served and which is not so arranged as to provide safe and adequate means of egress to a place of safety; and
(4) Mechanical systems. Utilities and mechanical systems not in conformance with
the codes in effect at the time of construction of a building which create a serious threat of fire or threaten the safety of the occupants of the building.
8-2-206. Code Sections 8-2-207 through 8-2-211 contain generally acceptable compliance alternatives illustrating principles which shall be applied to the rehabilitation of
existing buildings by state enforcement authorities and which may be applied by authorized local enforcement authorities in Georgia. It is recognized for purposes of this article that all building systems interact with each other; therefore, any consideration of
compliance alternatives should take into account all existing and proposed conditions to determine their acceptability. The compliance alternatives are not all-inclusive and do
not preclude consideration and approval of other alternatives by any enforcement authority.
8-2-207. Compliance alternatives for an inadequate number of exits include, but are
not limited to, the following: (1) Provide connecting fire-exit balconies acceptable to the enforcement authority
between buildings; (2) Provide alternate exit or egress facilities leading to safety outside the building
or to a place of safe refuge in the building or an adjoining building as acceptable to
the enforcement authority;

1510

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(3) Provide an exterior fire escape or escapes as acceptable to the enforcement authority where the providing of enclosed interior or enclosed exterior stairs is not practical; or
(4) Install early fire warning and fire suppression systems. 8-2-208. Compliance alternatives for excessive travel distances to an approved exit include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Install an approved smoke detection system throughout the building; (2) Install an approved complete automatic fire suppression system; (3) Subdivide the exit travel route with smoke-stop doors acceptable to the enforcement authority; (4) Increase the fire resistance rating of corridor walls and doors; or (5) Provide additional approved means of escape. 8-2-209. Compliance alternatives for unenclosed or improperly enclosed exit stairways or vertical shafts include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Improve enclosure of exit stairway; (2) Add a partial fire suppression system; (3) Add a sprinkler draft curtain; or (4) Add a smoke detection system. 8-2-210. Compliance alternatives for inadequate or a total lack of fire partitions or fire separation walls shall be as set forth in Code Section 8-2-209. 8-2-211. Compliance alternatives for a lack of required protection of openings in exterior walls where a fire exposure is a risk include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Improve fire resistance of existing openings and protect them with fire-rated windows or doors as appropriate; (2) Seal the openings with fire-rated construction as approved by the enforcement authority; or (3) Install an approved fire suppression system. 8-2-212. Whenever action is taken on any existing building to repair, make alterations, or change the use or occupancy of an existing structure and, when said action proposes the use of compliance alternatives, the authorized enforcement authority shall ensure that at least one copy of the accepted compliance alternatives approved, including applicable plans, test data, or other data submitted for evaluation, be maintained on file in the office of the local enforcement authority. If said structure also falls under the jurisdiction of a state level enforcement authority, at least one copy of same material shall be maintained on file with that authority.
8-2-213. Where an existing building or structure falls within the jurisdiction of both state level and local level enforcement authorities, the final review of any part of the project which is under the jurisdiction of both such enforcement authorities shall occur with the state authority; provided, however, the local fire and building authorities must agree in writing with any compliance alternatives before such can be approved by the state authority. It is the intent of this Code section that the state enforcement authority be very liberal in the consideration and approval of compliance alternatives which have the documented support of local enforcement authorities.
8-2-214. Additions to an existing building shall comply with the applicable requirements of state and local laws, rules, regulations, codes, and standards for new construction. Such additions shall not impose loads either vertical or horizontal which would cause the existing building to be subjected to stresses exceeding those permitted under new construction. If the existing building does not comply with the standards provided in this article and the authorized enforcement authority finds that the addition adversely affects the performance of the total building, the authorized enforcement authority may require:
(1) The new addition to be separated from the existing structure by at least a twohour fire wall with openings therein properly protected; or
(2) The installation of an approved automatic fire suppression system; or
(3) Other remedies which may be deemed appropriate by the enforcement authority.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1984

1511

8-2-215. Minor alterations or repairs to an existing building which do not adversely affect the performance or safety of the building may be made with the same or like materials. Existing buildings which, in part or as a whole, exceed the requirements of any applicable construction or fire safety code, may, in the course of compliance with this article, have reduced or removed, in part or total, features not required by such code for new construction; provided, however, that such features were not a condition of prior approval. Existing buildings and structures which, in part or as a whole, do not meet the requirements of the applicable code for new construction may be altered or repaired without further compliance to any such code by utilizing the provisions of this article, provided their present degree of compliance to any applicable construction or fire safety code is not reduced. Any new mechanical systems installed in an existing building shall conform to applicable codes for new construction to the fullest extent practical as approved by the authorized enforcement authorities.
8-2-216. The legal use and occupancy of any building or structure may be continued without change, except as may be provided otherwise by this article or as may be legally provided for by any applicable state or local law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, or standard.
8-2-217. (a) A total change in the use or occupancy of an existing building which would cause a greater hazard to the public shall not be made unless such building is made to comply with the requirements of the applicable state and local rules, regulations, codes, and standards for the new use or occupancy; provided, however, the compli-
ance alternative provisions of this article may be utilized by authorized enforcement authorities where total or strict compliance with applicable state or local rules, regulations, codes, or standards is not practical.
(b) When the proposed use is of equal or lesser hazard as determined by an authorized enforcement authority, further compliance with any code for new construction is not required unless otherwise provided in this article. Alterations or repairs to an existing building or structure which do not adversely ly affect the performance of the build-
ing may be made with like materials. Any proposed change to the existing building or change in type of contents of the existing building shall not increase the fire hazard to
adjacent buildings or structures. If the fire hazard to adjacent buildings structures is increased, then requirements of applicable construction or fire safety codes for exterior walls shall apply.
8-2-218. (a) If a portion of a building is changed to a new use or occupancy and that portion is separated from the remainder of the building with vertical or horizontal
fire separations complying with applicable state or local rules, regulations, codes, or standards or with compliance alternatives, then the portion changed shall be made to
comply to the applicable requirements for the new use or occupancy to the extent noted in Code Section 8-2-217.
(b) If a portion of the building is changed to a new use or occupancy and that por-
tion is not separated from the remainder of the building as noted in subsection (a) of this Code section, then the provisions of the applicable state and local rules, regulations,
codes, and standards applying to each use or occupancy of the building shall apply to the entire building to the extent noted in Code Section 8-2-217; provided, however, if there are conflicting provisions in requirements for the various uses or occupancies, the
authorized enforcement authority shall apply the strictest requirements. 8-2-219. Any proposed change in the use or occupancy of an existing building or por-
tion thereof which could increase the floor loading should be investigated by a Georgia registered professional engineer to determine the adequacy of the existing floor system to support the increased loads. If the existing floor system is found to be inadequate,
it should be modified to support the increased loads or the proposed allowable floor loading shall be reduced by and posted by the appropriate enforcement authority.
8-2-220. The Safety Fire Commissioner shall promulgate reasonable rules and regula-
tions to implement and carry out the requirements of this article. 8-2-221. Should any person, firm, corporation, or other entity be dissatisfied with any
ruling or decision of the state fire marshal pursuant to the provisions of this article, the right is granted to appeal within ten days to the Commissioner. If the person, firm, cor-
poration, or other entity is dissatisfied with the decision of the Commissioner, appeal

is authorized to the superior court within 30 days in the manner provided under Chapter 13 of Title 50. In the event of such appeal, the person, firm, corporation, or other entity shall give a surety bond which will be conditioned upon compliance with the order and direction of the state fire marshal or the Commissioner or both. The amount of bond shall be fixed by the Commissioner in such amount as will reasonably cover the order issued by the Commissioner or the state fire marshal or both.
8-2-222. Nothing in this article shall be construed to constitute a waiver of the sovereign immunity of the state or any officer or employee thereof in carrying out the provisions of this article. Further, no action shall be maintained against the state, any municipality, county, or any duly authorized elected or appointive officer or duly authorized employee thereof, for damages sustained as a result of any fire or hazard covered by this article by reason of inspection or other action taken or not taken pursuant to this article. Nothing in this article shall be construed to relieve any property owner or lessee or person in charge thereof from any legal duty, obligation, or liability incident to the ownership, maintenance, or use of such property."
Section 2. Chapter 2 of Title 25 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the regulation of fire and other hazards to persons and property generally, is amended by striking in its entirety subsection (e) of Code Section 25-2-12, relating to adoption of state fire safety standards and enforcement with respect to certain buildings, and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (e) to read as follows:

(3) On the construction on existing buildings not under the jurisdiction of a local government for purposes of paragraph (2) of this subsection, the Commissioner may grant variances from compliance with the state minimum fire safety standards as adopted in the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter.
(4) On the construction of new buildings, the Commissioner, upon the written recommendation of the state fire marshal and the written request of the fire or building official responsible for enforcing the state minimum fire safety standards, may grant variances from compliance with the state minimum fire safety standards as adopted in the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter in jurisdictions covered under subsection (a) of this Code section and jurisdictions other than those covered under subsection (a) of this Code section.
(5) Variances granted pursuant to paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this subsection shall be as nearly equivalent as practical to the standards required in this chapter."

"(a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Capacity' 'capacity' means the maximum number of persons who may be rea-
sonably expected to be present in any building or on any floor thereof at a given time according to the use which is made of such building. The Commissioner shall determine and by rule declare the formula for determining capacity for each of the uses described in this Code section.
(2) 'Historic building or structure' means any individual building or any building which contributes to the historic character of a historic district, so designated by the State Historic Preservation Officer pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Natural Resources, or as so designated pursuant to the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 10 of Title 44, the 'Georgia Historic Preservation Act.'

Landmark museum buildings must be so designated by the State Historic Preservation Officer pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Natural Resources."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Code Section 25-2-13, relating to buildings presenting special hazards to persons or property, and inserting in lieu thereof a new paragraph (1) to read as follows:
"(1) Certain buildings and structures, because of construction or use, may constitute a special hazard to property or to the life and safety of persons on account of fire or panic from fear of fire. Buildings constructed or used in the following manner present such a special hazard:
(A) Buildings or structures more than three stories in height; provided, however, that nothing in this Code section shall apply to any individually owned residential unit within any such building;

Section 6. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end of subsection (b) of Code Section 25-2-13, relating to buildings presenting special hazards to persons or property, new paragraphs (3) and (4) to read as follows:
"(3) (A) The provisions of this paragraph relating to landmark museum buildings shall apply only to those portions of such buildings which meet all the requirements of a landmark museum building, except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph. Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph shall, unless otherwise provided in such subparagraphs, preempt all state laws, regulations, or rules governing reconstruction, alteration, repair, or maintenance of landmark museum buildings. Local governing authorities may recognize the designation of landmark museum buildings by ordinance and authorize the local enforcement authority to incorporate the provisions of subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph into their local building and fire codes. Subparagraphs (D) and (E) of this paragraph shall apply to other historic buildings or structures.
(B) A landmark museum building shall be subject to the following provisions: (i) Repairs, maintenance, and restoration shall be allowed without conformity
to any state building or fire safety related code, standard, rule, or regulation, provided the building is brought into and remains in full compliance with this paragraph;
(ii) In the case of fire or other casualty to a landmark museum building, it may be rebuilt, in total or in part, using such techniques and materials as are necessary to restore it to the condition prior to the fire or casualty and use as a totally preserved building; or
(iii) If a historic building or structure, as a result of proposed work or changes in use, would become eligible and would be so certified as a landmark museum building, and the State Historic Preservation Officer so certifies and such is submitted to the state fire and building code official with the construction or building permit application, then the work may proceed under the provisions of this paragraph. (C) All landmark museum buildings shall comply with the following requirements:
(i) Every landmark museum building shall have portable fire extinguishers as deemed appropriate by the state or local fire authority having jurisdiction based on the applicable state or local fire safety codes or regulations;
(ii) All landmark museum buildings which contain residential units shall have electrically powered smoke or products of combustion detectors installed within each living unit between living and sleeping areas. Such detectors shall be continuously powered by the building's electrical system. When activated, the detector shall initiate an alarm which is audible in sleeping rooms of that living unit. These unit detectors shall be required in addition to any other protective system that may be installed in the building;
(iii) For all landmark museum buildings, except those protected by a total automatic fire suppression system and one and two family dwellings, approved automatic fire warning protection shall be provided as follows: install at least one listed smoke or products of combustion detector for every 1,200 square feet of floor area per floor or story. In addition, all lobbies, common corridors, hallways, and ways of exit access shall be provided with listed smoke or products of combustion detectors not more than 30 feet apart. Detectors shall be so connected as to sound an alarm audible throughout the structure or building. With respect to buildings which are totally protected by an automatic fire suppression system, activation of the sprinkler system shall sound an alarm throughout the structure or building;
(iv) Smoke or products of combustion detectors shall be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory;
(v) All multistory landmark museum buildings, except one and two family dwellings, with occupancy above or below the street or grade level shall have manual fire alarm pull stations in the natural path of egress. The activation of a manual pull station shall cause the building fire warning system to sound;

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1984

1515

(vi) Approved exit signs shall be located where designated by the local or state authority having jurisdiction in accordance with the applicable state or local code, standard, rule, or regulation;
(vii) Except for one and two family dwellings, every landmark museum building occupied after daylight, or which has occupied areas subject to being totally darkened during daylight hours due to a power failure or failure of the electrical system, shall be equipped with approved emergency lighting meeting the provisions of the applicable state or local code, standard, rule, or regulation;
(viii) Occupant loading of landmark museum buildings or structures shall be limited by either the actual structural floor load capacity or by the limitations of means of egress or by a combination of factors. Actual floor load capacity shall be determined by a Georgia registered engineer or architect. Said floor load shall be posted at a conspicuous location. The building owner shall submit evidence of this certification and related computations to the enforcement authority having jurisdiction upon request. Where one or more floors of a landmark museum building have only one means of egress, the occupant load shall be computed and occupancy limited as determined by the state or local fire marshal; or
(ix) The electrical, heating, and mechanical systems of landmark museum buildings shall be inspected and any conditions that create a threat of fire or a threat to life shall be corrected in accordance with applicable standards to the extent deemed necessary by the state or local authority having jurisdiction. (D) Historic buildings not classified as landmark museum buildings shall meet the requirements of applicable state or local building and fire safety laws, ordinances, codes, standards, rules, or regulations as they pertain to existing buildings.

The expenditure object amounts displayed above represent the budget unit object totals. Provided, that none of the State funds appropriated above may be expended to initiate or commence any new program or project which would create a continuing obligation of the current funds of the State, unless such program or project has been authorized by the General Assembly. Provided, that where teaching personnel are paid in whole or in part from funds other than State-local funds, the fund source from which such salary is paid shall bear the pro rata part of the cost of employer contributions to the Teachers' Retirement System and Teachers' Health Insurance applicable to such salary. Provided, further, that for kindergarten programs, each system shall be allotted instructional units on the basis of one teacher and one aide for each 40 students or major fraction thereof in average daily attendance, except that in the case of mentally, physically or emotionally handicapped children, the ratio shall be one teacher and one aide for 24 students or major fraction thereof in average daily membership. Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to Kindergarten Transportation, funds shall initially be allotted to local school systems on the basis of projected miles for mid-day transportation. However, allotments shall not exceed actual cost of midday transportation by the local system. Provided, however, in order to permit extension of the half-day kindergarten program to a full-day program, local systems may elect to use mid-day transportation allotments to employ aides or certificated instructional personnel on a reimbursable basis to the extent that the $12,202 per unit will allow. Where the transportation allotment is used to employ additional personnel, reimbursable costs shall include salary, retirement and health insurance where eligible. Provided, that of any State Funds appropriated to local systems for classroom teacher salaries on the basis of Average Daily Attendance in grades 1 through 7, such teachers shall be used in the school where earned and shall be used only for the purpose of funding regular (general education) classroom teachers in grades where earned. Provided further that for the purpose of mid-term adjustment in grades 1 through 7 additional units shall be the difference between the total earned and total allotted in those grades.
Provided, that of the above appropriation, relative to special education $30,000 is designated and committed for payment to the Houston County Board of Education for payment to Houston County Speech and Hearing School, and $30,000 is designated and committed for payment to the Houston County Board of Education for payment to Houston County Happy Hour School.
Provided, further, of funds appropriated for Maintenance and Operation, Sick and Personal Leave and Instructional Media, for all Special Education Teachers, payments shall not be made for the allotted teaching unit prior to such unit being filled.
Furthermore, the Code Section 20-2-152 teaching units so allocated to an eligible local unit shall remain a part of that local unit's allotment until the end of the current school year in which allocated.
Provided, that of the above appropriation for APEG Grants, it is the intent of this General Assembly that funds are included for allotment of instructional units under Code Section 20-2-157 for grades 1 and 2, at a ratio of 1:20 students in average daily attendance.
Provided, that local school systems, in accordance with State Board policy, may use additional instructional units earned in grades 1 and 2 to employ either certificated or licensed instructional personnel in those grades. Funding for licensed instructional personnel shall include salaries as provided for in APEG Code Section 20-2-157(b)(2) and Code Section 20-2-160.
Provided, that of the above appropriation for $800,000 for Staff Development, $80,000 is designated and committed to fund a State level staff development program specifically for Special Education Teachers (Code Section 20-2-152) utilized in programs for

Provided, that of the above appropriations relative to APEG Code Sections 20-2-152, 20-2-153, 20-2-157, 20-2-181, and 20-2-181(d)(2) for salaries, funds may be moved between said Sections by an amendment to the annual operating budget during the final month of the State fiscal year with the prior approval of the Office of Planning and Budget.
Provided, that of the above appropriation relative to Compensatory Education, $12,113,020 is designated and committed for a compensatory education program for students in grades three through eleven and shall be used for remedial purposes only. Each local system's Compensatory Education Plan shall provide for a program of remediating those students who have failed, or are at risk of failing, the fourth or eighth grade Georgia Criterion Referenced Tests and the tenth grade Georgia Basic Skills Test. Provided, however, where a local system's Compensatory Education Plan justifies the need, the State Board of Education may approve the usage of these funds for remedial purposes in grades one and two.
Funds shall be distributed on the basis of the number of students in grades four, eight, and ten failing to achieve the minimum standard score on the statewide reading and mathematics test administered to all students enrolled at these grade levels.
Provided, that the funds appropriated herein for local school construction shall be used to complete the funding of those projects for which S.F.Y. 1985 entitlements were sufficient to cover eligible projects (pursuant to Code Section 20-2-250), based on a total state entitlement of $40 million for S.F.Y. 1985.
Provided, that of the funds appropriated for the High School Program, Comprehensive High Schools or Vocational Schools may use funds for the purpose of repairing existing equipment in lieu of purchasing new equipment without prior approval of the Department of Education.

Section 48. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Federal funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropriations Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and

If the registrar finds the applicant meets the qualifications for registration in the county, the regis-
tration card shall be placed on file in the registrar's office and the applicant's name shall

tration office. (b) In those municipalities electing to maintain their own registration system, the
registrars shall keep the completed registration cards and their other papers in the main
office of the municipal registrars, which office shall be in the city hall or other public building designated by the governing authority. If no such office exists, the registrars shall keep the completed registration cards and their other papers in the office of the
city clerk; and such office shall be deemed the main office of the board of registrars. For the purpose of taking applications for registration and for the purpose of registering electors, such number of registrars or deputy registrars as shall be designated by the
chief registrar shall be stationed at such main office where the completed registration cards are kept at such times as the office is open during regular office hours. The gov-

(b) Any person who possesses the qualifications of an elector except those concerning age shall be permitted to register to vote if such person will acquire such qualifications within six months after the day of registration; provided, however, that such person shall not be permitted to vote in a primary or election until the acquisition of such qualifications. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, any person who was qualified and registered to vote on September 1, 1968, shall not be required to reregister under the terms of this article unless such person shall have become or becomes disqualified to vote by reason of having been purged from the list of electors or for any other reason whatsoever, in which event such person shall, in order to become registered to vote, reregister under the terms of this article. (d) The governing authority of any municipality may by charter, ordinance, or resolution elect either to maintain its own registration or to provide for the city to use the county registration list, stating that any person who is a resident of the municipality and who is registered as an elector with the board of registrars of the county shall be eligible to vote in a municipal primary or election. If the municipality elects to maintain its own registration list, the municipality shall use the form of the registration card and the questions to be propounded to an applicant as prescribed in Code Section 21-2-217. The qualifications of a person seeking to vote in a municipal primary or election shall be determined by this chapter and the Constitution of Georgia. Provided, however, municipalities which are the county seats of counties having populations of not less than 32,500 and not more than 34,100 according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census shall not be authorized to maintain their own registration lists but shall use the registration list of the county and such county shall be required to furnish such list to the municipality. Provided, further, that any such counties shall be required to furnish a list of the registered voters residing within such municipalities to the governing authorities of the municipalities no later than seven days before any election or primary covered by this chapter is to be held in such municipalities.
(e) In a municipality maintaining its own registration list, any person desiring to register as an elector shall apply to a registrar or a deputy registrar and shall furnish such officer with proper identification and information which will enable him to fill in all blanks appearing on the registration card. For purposes of this Code section, proper identification may be made by exhibiting a valid driver's license, birth certificate, or any other document that will reasonably reflect the true identity of the applicant. On completion of the form, the officer shall 'administer the oath to the applicant and then have him sign it, and the officer shall attest it. Upon request of the applicant, the officer taking the application shall read or repeat the oath distinctly to the applicant; and, if the applicant cannot sign his name, the officer shall sign it for him, the applicant making his mark thereto.

(b) Registration for municipalities maintaining their own registration lists shall be as follows:
(1) If any person whose name is not on the municipal registration list desires to vote at any primary or election, he shall, at least 15 days prior to the primary or election at which he desires to vote, or at such other time as designated by charter or ordinance, apply to be registered as an elector. The registrars shall, at least 15 days but not more than 50 days prior to such primary or election, cease taking applications to qualify persons to vote in such primary or election.
(2) Any person who has registered for a general municipal primary or election, if otherwise qualified to vote at any special primary or election occurring before the next general election, shall be listed and entitled to vote at such special primary or election. At the close of the registrars" business on the fifth day (if a Sunday or a legal holiday, then on the next following business day) after the call of such special primary or election, the registrars shall cease taking applications from persons desiring to register to vote therein.
(3) The registrar shall, no later than three days prior to such primary or election, pass upon the electors" qualifications and file with the city clerk a certified list showing the names of those electors entitled to vote at such primary or election. Any person whose name appears upon such list may vote at such primary or election, subject to the limitations prescribed in the proviso contained in the first sentence of Code Section 21-3-136. Before filing such list, the registrars shall purge it of the names of all persons who will not be qualified to vote at such primary or election. 21-3-127. On completion of the application form, the officer shall administer the oath to the applicant and then have him sign it (either by signature or mark). The officer shall then attest it. 21-3-128. The failure on the part of the applicant to disclose information sought by a direct question of the registration officers in connection with the taking of the application or at subsequent proceedings, or the giving of false information, shall result in the application being rejected by the registration officers and shall also be a cause for challenge which, if sustained, shall result in the elector's name being removed from the list.
21-3-129. Any person to whom the right of registration is denied by the registration officers shall have the right to take an appeal to the superior court of the county; and any elector may enter an appeal to such court from the decision of the registration officers allowing any person to register. All appeals must be filed in writing with the chief registrar within ten days from the date of the decision complained of and shall be returned by the chief registrar to the office of the clerk of such court to be tried, de novo, as are appeals from the probate court. Pending an appeal and until the final judgment of the case, the decision of the registration officer shall remain in full force.
21-3-130. In the event an applicant is refused registration by the registration officers, the application of such person and other material and records relative thereto shall be placed on file with the other registration records of the board of registrars for at least 24 months from the date of refusal.
21-3-131. Municipalities that elect to maintain their own registration lists shall provide for absentee registration as follows:
(1) A resident of the municipality who is qualified to vote by absentee ballot may register to vote by complying with this Code section, and this person shall be referred to as an absentee applicant;
(2) Any absentee applicant or, upon satisfactory proof of relationship, his mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, or daughter or son of the age 18 or over may at any time apply to the registrar for a registration card to be mailed to such applicant. The application shall be in writing and shall contain the name and address he desires to have the card mailed to and such other information as the board of registrars may require. When appropriate, the rank, branch of service, and serial number of the applicant shall be included in the application;
(3) The registrar, upon receipt of such application, shall enter thereon the date it is received and, upon finding such absentee applicant to be unregistered, shall immediately mail to him a blank registration card accompanied by a properly addressed

1712

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

envelope. The board shall employ air mail in cases where it will facilitate voting by such applicant;
(4) Upon the return of such registration card, properly completed and executed by the absentee applicant, the registrar shall place the name of such elector upon the electors list if the registrar finds the applicant qualified under Code Section 21-3-125; and such registration shall have the same effect as a registration consummated under other provisions of this article. The date a registration card is mailed or delivered to an applicant and the date it is returned shall be entered on the application therefor; and
(5) Any qualified person may apply for a registration card or an absentee ballot by the use of a standard form furnished by the federal government, which form contains the information required by this chapter. An envelope containing a registration card or absentee ballot for transmission to such person may be prepared in such a manner as to take advantage of the free mail delivery furnished by the federal government. 21-3-132. Municipalities that elect to maintain their own registration lists shall require that:
(1) The electors who have qualified shall not thereafter be required to register or further qualify, except as provided by law;
(2) No person shall remain a qualified voter who does not vote in at least one general or special election or primary in a three-year period, unless he shall specifically request continuation of his registration as specified in subsection (b) of Code Section 21-3-133;

(4) No person shall remain an elector longer than he shall retain the qualifications under which he is registered. 21-3-133. (a) The registrar in municipalities maintaining their own registration system shall purge the list of electors as follows:
(1) At least every two years, the registrar shall examine the list of electors and remove therefrom any electors that have not voted in at least one general or special election or primary in the preceding three years or have not specifically requested a continuation of their registration. However, no elector shall be removed from the list of electors for failure to vote in the preceding three years unless the municipality has conducted at least two general elections during such preceding three-year period;
(2) At least 60 days before any general election, the registrar shall obtain from the clerk of the superior court of the county a list of persons residing in the county who appear to be disqualified from voting by reason of having been convicted of a crime since the last general election, the penalty of which is disfranchisement, unless such person has been pardoned and the right of suffrage restored to him; and any of these persons on the municipal electors list shall be removed;
(3) At least 60 days before any general election, the registrar shall obtain from the superintendent of the county a list of all persons residing in the county who appear to be disqualified from voting by reason of an adjudication of idiocy or insanity since the last general election; and any of these persons on the municipal list of electors
shall be removed; (4) At least 60 days before any general election, the registrar shall obtain from the
local registrar of vital statistics of each county a list of those persons who have died since the last general election; and any of these persons listed on the municipal list

Registrars shall furnish each elector so notified a card with the name and address of the board of registrars printed on the face thereof which may be used by the elector in notifying the registrars of the elector's desire to continue the elector's registration. Electors shall be given 20 days from removal date to request in writing a continuance of their registration. The registrars shall remove those who do not so apply within the time allotted. In municipalities lying wholly within the boundaries of counties of this state having a population of not less than 400,000 nor more than 525,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census and which maintain their own voting lists, registrars shall affix sufficient postage to such return card so as to ensure proper delivery to the board of registrars.
21-3-134. (a) The registrars in municipalities electing to maintain their own registration lists shall prepare for use in all primaries and elections true and correct lists of the electors of their municipality, placing thereon only those persons found to be qualified to vote.
(b) If the municipality elects to use the county registration list, the county board of
registrars shall deliver, upon a basis mutually agreed upon between the governing authorities of the county and the municipality, a copy of the list of electors to be used in each primary or election to the designee of the governing authority of the municipal-
ity. Such list shall be delivered at least 14 days prior to each primary or election for the purpose of permitting the designee to check the accuracy of the list and to challenge the disqualified.
(c) On July 1, 1981, all registered electors of any county of this state having a population of not less than 400,000 nor more than 525,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1970 or any future such census who reside within the corporate
boundaries of any municipality lying wholly within such county and who are not registered voters of such municipality shall be added to the voter registration list of such
municipality. Such electors shall thereafter be subject to this article in the same manner as other electors of each such municipality.
21-3-135. (a) At least three days prior to the primary or election, the registrar shall file with the city clerk a certified copy of a list containing the names, addresses, and ZIP codes of all the electors found to be qualified. The list shall be alphabetically
arranged by precincts, and it shall be the list of electors for the municipal election to be held in such year. No person whose name does not appear on such list shall vote at
such municipal election, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. This list shall be accompanied by the registrar's certification of the number of electors by race in each precinct. Such lists shall not be used by any person for commercial purposes.
(b) When requested, it shall be the duty of the registrar or the city clerk to furnish a certified copy of such list, or any part thereof, upon payment of a fee sufficient to
cover the cost of preparing such list, but in no event shall the fee exceed an amount equal to 1$ for the name of each elector appearing thereon.
21-3-136. Each elector whose name appears on the certified registration list and who
is not found to be disqualified subsequent to the filing of said list shall be entitled to vote in any primary or election held during the period subsequent to the filing of such
certified list and before the filing of the next list; provided, however, that an elector, voting in the primary or primaries held by a single party for the nomination of candi-
dates to seek municipal offices to be filled in an election, shall not vote in a primary held by any other party for the nomination of candidates to seek municipal offices to
be filled in the same such election. It shall be the duty of the registrars to consolidate the certified list and any supplemental list for any primary or election and to make certain that no person is listed more than once.
21-3-137. (a) The board of registrars of each municipality shall have the right and shall be charged with the duty of examining, from time to time, the qualifications of
each elector whose name is entered upon the list of electors; and the board shall not be limited or estopped by any action previously taken.
(b) For the purpose of determining the qualification or disqualification of applicants and electors, the board of registrars, upon at least five days' notice, may subpoena wit-
nesses and require the production of books, papers, and other material. The board may swear any witness appearing before it.

1714

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(c) If the right of any person to remain on the list of electors is questioned by the registrars, the board of registrars shall give such person written notice by first-class mail, sent to the address on the elector's registration card, stating a time and place of hearing, not less than five nor more than 30 days from the date of notice, to determine the elector's eligibility to remain on the list of electors. Failure by the elector to respond to the notice either in person or by mail by the date set for the hearing shall constitute cause for removing the elector's name from the list of electors.
21-3-138. (a) Any elector of the municipality shall be allowed to challenge the right of registration of any person whose name appears upon the electors list; and, upon a challenge as to the qualifications of the elector being filed, the registrars shall notify the elector and pass upon the challenge. Each challenge shall specify the grounds of the challenge; and, when notice is given the elector by the registrars, a copy of such challenge shall be furnished the challenged elector at least three days before passing upon the same. Any elector of the municipality shall also be allowed to challenge the qualifi-
cations of any applicant for registration. A challenge of a person's qualification to register or to vote shall be decided in every case by the board of registrars with the right of appeal therefrom to the superior court.
(b) Any elector of the municipality shall be allowed to challenge the right to vote of any person whose name appears upon the electors list by making application to the
board of registrars of the municipality at any time, including election day itself. Such challenge may be oral or written but shall distinctly set forth the grounds of challenge. The board of registrars shall immediately consider the same and unless they find proba-
ble cause to sustain such challenge shall deny it. If the registrars find probable cause to sustain such challenge, the poll officers of the challenged elector's precinct shall be notified; and, if practical, the challenged elector shall be notified and afforded an oppor-
tunity to answer. If the challenged elector presents himself at the polling place to vote, he shall be given an opportunity to appear before the registrar and answer the grounds
of challenge; and, after hearing the challenger and the challenged elector, such registrars shall determine whether probable cause to sustain such challenge exists and shall:
(1) If no probable cause exists, permit the challenged elector to vote; (2) If in doubt as to the merit of the challenge, permit the challenged elector to vote by having the word 'challenged' written across the back of the challenged
elector's ballot for later determination; or
(3) If it is determined that a challenged elector is not eligible to vote, refuse to allow the challenged elector to vote by having the words 'ineligible to vote' written on the electors list next to the challenged elector's name.
21-3-139. Only persons whose names appear on the list of electors placed in the possession of the managers in each precinct shall be allowed to deposit their ballots, accord-
ing to law, at the precinct, but not elsewhere, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
21-3-140. In the event any elector moves to a residence within the municipality which has a different address from the address contained on such person's registration
card, it shall be his duty to notify the board of registrars of such fact, and the board shall place such person's name on the proper list of electors. If the board, of its own
knowledge, knows of such move, it may make the proper changes. Any elector who moves to a residence within the municipality but into a different precinct or who moves
to a residence in the same precinct but at a different address and fails to notify the board of registrars of such fact prior to an election or primary shall vote in the precinct of his former residence for such election or primary and for any runoffs resulting there-
from. The superintendent of an election shall make available at each polling place forms which shall be completed by each such elector to reflect his present legal residence. Such forms may also be used to notify the board of registrars of a change in an elector's
name. The board of registrars shall thereafter place the elector in the proper precinct and correct the list of electors accordingly. If the elector is placed in a precinct other
than the one in which he has previously been voting, he shall be notified of his new polling place by first-class mail.
21-3-141. In determining the residence of a person desiring to register to vote, the rules as set forth in Code Section 21-2-241 shall be followed.

The county board of registrars shall deliver, upon a basis mutually agreed upon between the governing authorities of the county and the municipality, a copy of the list of electors to be used in each primary or election to the designee of the governing authority of the municipality.

Section 8. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (i) of Code Section 21-3-187, relating to form of official election ballot, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (i) to read as follows:
"(i) Each elector eligible to have voted in an election which, in accordance with this Code section, was not conducted shall be deemed to have voted in such election for the purposes set forth in Code Sections 21-2-132 21-2-231 and 21-2-231 21-2-227. When, pursuant to this Code section, no election is to be conducted, either the municipal registrars ef the county registrars shall prepare, certify, and deliver electors lists as would otherwise be required by Code Sections 21-2-233 21-2-233 and 21-3-136 21-2-234."

Section 12. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (b) of Code Section 21-3-407, relating to determination by municipal charters and ordinances of the vote required for nomination or election, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows:

HR 623. By: Representatives McKinney of the 35th, Childers of the 15th, Selman of the 32nd, Burruss of the 20th, and Clark of the 55th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Committee to Study the Creation of Separate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Divisions; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the present combination of mental health and mental retardation in one division of the Department of Human Resources has long created discontent among many of those proponents of increased mental retardation services; and
WHEREAS, these proponents maintain that such a combination results in mental retardation services not receiving a fair share of the state's programatic and financial resources; and
WHEREAS, those favoring a retention of mental retardation and mental health in the same division argue that more effective service delivery in such closely related areas can be accomplished under the present combination; and
WHEREAS, there is some evidence that creating a separate division of mental retardation might result in increased administrative costs; and
WHEREAS, although the Senate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Study Committee examined some of these same issues during the 1983 interim, a joint committee of both the House and Senate needs to explore further the desirability of creating by statute two separate divisions in order to reach a consensus upon which both houses of the General Assembly may make their decisions on this issue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Committee to Study the Creation of Separate

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1984

1719

Mental Health and Mental Retardation Divisions, to be composed of ten members, five members from the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker thereof, who shall also appoint the chairman, and five members from the Senate appointed by the President thereof, who shall also appoint the vice-chairman.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall undertake a study of the problems mentioned above and any other problems related thereto and recommend necessary steps needed to be undertaken to alleviate any such problems. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, no later than December 1, 1984, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Committee to Study the Creation of Separate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Divisions; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, proponents of increased mental retardation services believe that services for the mentally retarded could better be provided through a separate Division of Mental Retardation; and
WHEREAS, the proponents maintain that the current structure of the Department of Human Resources results in mental retardation services not receiving a fair share of the state's programmatic and financial resources; and
WHEREAS, the issue has been studied by the Department of Human Resources, which reached the conclusion that there are areas of concern that could be handled in ways that better support the mission of the Department of Human Resources but not of a sufficient magnitude to warrant the creation of a Division of Mental Retardation; and
WHEREAS, the commissioner of the Department of Human Resources is currently implementing a plan which will better handle these concerns; and
WHEREAS, the Senate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Study Committee studied the issues and determined that there should not at this time be a separate Division of Mental Retardation; and
WHEREAS, the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Subcommittee of the House Health and Ecology Committee held special hearings concerning this issue; and
WHEREAS, although many, if not most, of the questions surrounding the issue were answered, there still exist sufficient unanswered questions to warrant the creation of a joint committee to study further the issue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Committee to Study the Creation of Separate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Divisions to be composed of ten members. Five members shall be appointed from the House of Representatives by the Speaker thereof, of which four of those members shall be from the Health and Ecology Committee. The Speaker shall also appoint a chairman from among the five members from the House. Five members shall be appointed from the Senate by the President thereof, who shall also appoint the vice-chairman.

HR 644. By: Representatives Galer of the 97th and Steinberg of the 46th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Part-time State Employment Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, most agencies and departments of state government require part-time employees in order to provide greater flexibility in scheduling of work and in order to meet fluctuating workloads so as to adequately serve the citizens of the state; and
WHEREAS, each agency or department may have a need to establish differing criteria for permanent part-time positions; and
WHEREAS, part-time employment is particularly necessary in the case of certain occupations and professions in which those having specialized skills are not available for employment by the state on a full-time basis; and
WHEREAS, the state should in fairness offer to part-time employees retirement benefits which are reasonably related to the services they perform for the state; and
WHEREAS, the problem of equity to part-time employees and full-time employees is often complicated by transfer of part-time employees to full-time status; and
WHEREAS, the state currently has no uniform policy concerning these matters and no mechanism for uniformly determining retirement benefits which will be equitable to part-time and full-time employees of the state.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Part-time State Employment Study Committee to be composed of five members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House, five members of the Senate to be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, and five members appointed by the Governor. The chairman and the vice chairman of the committee shall be elected by the committee at its first meeting which shall be called by the Governor.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall undertake a study of the matters discussed in the preamble to this resolution and shall seek to determine the best possible method of meeting the state's need for part-time employees and providing equitable retirement benefits to such part-time employees while maintaining the fiscal integrity of the state's retirement systems and treating full-time employees fairly in comparison with part-time employees. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and

The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of govern-

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Code Section 10-1-451 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to injunctions against infringement of registered trademarks or service marks, so as to authorize a court to order to require that a defendant pay to the owner of a registered trademark or service mark the profits derived from wrongful manufacture, use, display, or sale of counterfeits or imitations, and all damages suffered by reason of such wrongful manufacture, use, display, or sale of counterfeits or imitations, or both profits and damages; to authorize the destruction of counterfeit goods; to provide for the disposal of such goods; to provide for seizure of counterfeit goods under certain circumstances; to provide a procedure for such seizure; to provide for liability for seizure of noncounterfeit or noninfringing goods; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 10-1-451 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to injunctions against infringement of registered trademarks or service marks, is amended by striking said Code section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 10-1-451 to read as follows:
"10-1-451. (a) Any owner of a trademark or service mark registered under this part may proceed by action to enjoin the manufacture, use, display, or sale of any counterfeits or imitations thereof; and any court of competent jurisdiction may grant injunctions to restrain such manufacture, use, display, or sale as may be by the court deemed just and reasonable and may require the defendants to pay to such owner all profits derived from such wrongful manufacture, use, display, or sale, and all damages suffered by reason of such wrongful manufacture, use, display, or sale, or both profits and damages. The enumeration of any right or remedy in this part shall not affect a registrant's right to prosecute under any penal law of this state.
(b) Every person, association, or union of working men adopting and using a trademark, trade name, label, or form of advertisement may proceed by action; and all courts having jurisdiction thereof shall grant injunctions to enjoin subsequent use by another of the same or any similar trademark, trade name, label, or form of advertisement if there exists a likelihood of injury to business reputation or of dilution of the distinctive quality of the trademark, trade name, label, or form of advertisement of the prior user, notwithstanding the absence of competition between the parties or of confusion as to the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1984

1751

source of goods or services, except that this Code section shall not deprive any party of any vested lawful rights acquired prior to March 4, 1955.
(c) If, in any action brought under this Code section, the court determines that a trademark or service mark is counterfeit, the court may order the destruction of all such trademarks or service marks and all goods, articles, or other matter bearing the trademarks or service marks, which are in the possession or control of the court or any party to the action; or, after obliteration of the counterfeit trademark or service mark, the court may order the disposal of any of those materials to the State of Georgia, j civil claimant, an eleemosynary institution, or any appropriate private person other than the person from whom the materials were obtained.
(d) (1) The court, upon motion or upon ex parte application by a plaintiff in an action to enjoin the manufacture, use, display, or sale of counterfeits, may order seizure of the counterfeit goods from persons manufacturing, displaying for sale, or selling the goods, upon a showing of good cause and a probability of success on the merits and upon the posting of bond. The amount of the bond shall be set in accordance with the probable recovery of damages and costs under subsection (e) of this Code section if it were ultimately determined that the goods seized were not counterfeit.

The proceeds of taxes so levied, less such fee to cover the costs of collection as may be specified by law, shall be transmitted by the collecting county or municipality to the governing body of the community improvement district and shall be expended by the governing body of the community improvement district only for the purposes authorized by this section.
Paragraph IV. Debt. The governing body of a community improvement district may incur debt, as authorized by law, which debt shall be backed by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the community improvement district but shall not be an obligation of the State of Georgia or any other unit of government of the State of Georgia.
Paragraph V. Cooperation with local governments. The services and facilities provided by any community improvement district shall be provided in cooperation with and coordination with the county or municipality for which the community improvement district is created.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the University System Laboratory, Equipment, and Library Services Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the decades of the eighties and nineties will witness one of the most profound revolutions in the history of modern society, one comparable in its consequences to the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century; the next twenty years or so will mark a shift from an industrially based to an informationally based society; and
WHEREAS, the transition to an informational society will be accompanied by a new type of technology, often called "high technology", and a new type of industry referred to as "high technology industry"; and
WHEREAS, Georgia is fortunately situated geographically, economically, and politically to capitalize on the high technology boom and to be a leader in the shift from an industrial society to an informational society; its university system includes a number of excellent institutions able to contribute directly to these new societal demands; and
WHEREAS, unfortunately, all institutions of the university system lack sufficient technical equipment and necessary funding for the successful and competitive operation of their laboratories and the computer related research activities which are required to support the technological growth of the state, particularly in their science and engineering instructional laboratories; and
WHEREAS, the libraries of the several institutions of the university system are the very heart of every academic and technology program offered by the system; and it is apparent that the expansion of library equipment and services in these institutions has become inadequate because of rampant inflation in the cost of books, audio-visual aids, computer equipment and related services, and other basic library materials.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created the University System Laboratory, Equipment, and Library Services Study Committee to be composed of eight members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, one of whom shall be designated as chairman. The committee is authorized to conduct a thorough and continuing study of the university system laboratory, equipment, and library service needs and, in

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1984

connection therewith, the cost of funding the purchase of adequate equipment and materials so as to enable our state to develop and attract to its maximum potential high technology industries which will provide employment to a large number of skilled and well-paid workers in Georgia. The committee is authorized to seek the advice and counsel of persons knowledgeable in the field of high technology, the chancellor of the board of regents, and other persons, groups, and organizations which the committee feels will be able to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the committee shall receive the expenses and allowances provided by law for legislative members of interim legislative committees. The committee shall meet upon the call of the chairman, and is authorized to hold meetings and conduct studies at such times and places as the committee deems advisable in carrying out its duties. The board of regents shall provide such technical assistance and engineering and other expertise to the committee as may be requested by the chairman. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for funding and for legislation, if any, no later than December 15, 1984, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if a Senate committee is appointed to study similar matters during the 1984 interim, the committee created by this resolution shall be authorized to cooperate and meet jointly with such Senate committee and to issue a joint report to both houses of the General Assembly.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the adoption of the Resolution, was agreed to.
On the adoption of the Resolution, the ayes were 102, nays 1.
The Resolution, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was adopted.

The Speaker assumed the Chair.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to public health, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Chapter 32 to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 32
31-32-1. (a) The General Assembly finds that modern medical technology has made possible the artificial prolongation of human life.
(b) The General Assembly further finds that, in the interest of protecting individual autonomy, such prolongation of life for persons with a terminal condition may cause loss

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1984

1807

of patient dignity and unnecessary pain and suffering, while providing nothing medically necessary or beneficial to the patient.
(c) The General Assembly further finds that there exists considerable uncertainty in the medical and legal professions as to the legality of terminating the use of lifesustaining procedures in certain situations.
(d) In recognition of the dignity and privacy which patients have a right to expect, the General Assembly declares that the laws of the State of Georgia shall recognize the right of a competent adult person to make a written directive, known as a living will, instructing his physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining procedures in the event of a terminal condition.
31-32-2. As used in this chapter, the term: (1) 'Attending physician' means the physician who has been selected by or
assigned to the patient and who has assumed primary responsibility for the treatment and care of the patient; provided, however, that if the physician selected by or assigned to the patient to provide such treatment and care directs another physician to assume primary responsibility for such care and treatment, the physician who has been so directed shall, upon his or her assumption of such responsibility, be the 'attending physician.'
(2) 'Competent adult' means a person of sound mind who is 18 years of age or older.
(3) 'Declarant* means a person who has executed a living will authorized by this chapter.
(4) 'Hospital' means a facility which has a valid permit or provisional permit issued under Chapter 7 of this title and which is primarily engaged in providing to inpatients, by or under the supervision of physicians, diagnostic services and therapeutic services for medical diagnosis, treatment, and care of injured, disabled, or sick persons.
(5) 'Life-sustaining procedures' means any medical procedures or interventions, which, when applied to a patient in a terminal condition, would serve only to prolong the dying process and where, in the judgment of the attending physician and a second physician, death will occur whether or not such procedures or interventions are utilized. The term 'life-sustaining procedures' shall not include the following:
(A) Nourishment; or (B) The administration of medication to alleviate pain or the performance of any medical procedure deemed necessary to alleviate pain. (6) 'Living will' means a written document voluntarily executed by the declarant in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 31-32-3 or 31-32-4. (7) 'Patient' means a person receiving care or treatment from a physician. (8) 'Physician' means a person lawfully licensed in this state to practice medicine and surgery pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 34 of Title 43.
(9) 'Skilled nursing facility' means a facility having a valid permit or provisional permit issued under Chapter 7 of this title and which provides skilled nursing care and supportive care to patients whose primary need is for availability of skilled nursing care on an extended basis.
(10) 'Terminal condition' means incurable condition caused by disease, illness, or injury which, regardless of the application of life-sustaining procedures, would produce death. The procedure for establishing a 'terminal condition' is as follows: Two physicians who, after personally examining the declarant, shall certify in writing, based upon conditions found during the course of their examination:
(A) There is no reasonable expectation for improvement in the condition of the declarant; and
(B) Death of the declarant from these conditions is imminent.
31-32-3. (a) Any competent adult may execute a document directing that, should the declarant have a terminal condition, life-sustaining procedures be withheld or withdrawn. Such living will shall be signed by the declarant in the presence of at least two competent adults who, at the time of the execution of the living will, to the best of their knowledge:

In the absence of my ability to give directions regarding the use of such lifesustaining procedures, it is my intention that this living will shall be honored by my family and physician(s) as the final expression of my legal right to refuse medical or surgical treatment and accept the consequences from such refusal; 3. This will shall have no force or effect seven years from the date I signed this document as stated above; however, I understand that, if at the end of said seven years I am incapable of communicating with the attending physician, this will shall remain in effect until such time as I am able to communicate with the physician; 4.

I understand the full import of this living will, and I am at least 18 years of age and am emotionally and mentally competent to make this living will; and 6.

Additional witness required when living will is signed in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
I hereby witness this living will and attest that I believe the declarant to be of sound mind and to have made this living will willingly and voluntarily.
Witness: Medical director of skilled nursing facility or chief of the hospital medical staff
31-32-4. A living will shall have no force or effect if the declarant is a patient in a hospital or skilled nursing facility at the time the living will is executed unless the living will is signed in the presence of the two witnesses as provided in Code Section 31-32-3 and, additionally, is signed in the presence of either the chief of the hospital medical staff, if witnessed in a hospital, or the medical director, if witnessed in a skilled nursing facility.
31-32-5. (a) A living will may be revoked at any time by the declarant, without regard to his mental state or competency, by any of the following methods:
(1) By being canceled, defaced, obliterated, burnt, torn, or otherwise destroyed by the declarant or by some person in his presence and by his direction;
(2) By the declarant or a person acting at the direction of the declarant signing and dating a written revocation expressing the intent of the declarant to revoke. Such revocation shall become effective only upon communication to the attending physician by the declarant or by a person acting at the direction of the declarant. The attending physician shall record in the patient's medical record the time and date when he received notification of the written revocation; or
(3) By any verbal or nonverbal expression by the declarant of his intent to revoke the living will. Such revocation shall become effective only upon communication to the attending physician by the declarant or by a person acting at the direction of the declarant. The attending physician shall record in the patient's medical record the time, date, and place of the revocation and the time, date, and place, if different, when he received notification of the revocation. (b) Any person who participates in the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures pursuant to a living will, as authorized by this chapter, which person has actual knowledge that such living will has been properly revoked, shall not have any civil or criminal immunity otherwise granted under this chapter for such conduct. 31-32-6. A living will shall be effective for a period of seven years from the date of execution thereof unless sooner revoked in a manner prescribed in Code Section 31-32-5. If the declarant of an unrevoked living will becomes incapable of communicating with the attending physician, the living will shall remain in effect beyond such seven-year period until such time as the declarant is able to communicate with the attending physician. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent a declarant from reexecuting a living will at any time in accordance with the formalities of Code Sections 31-32-3 and 31-32-4. If the declarant has executed more than one living will, such seven-year period shall be determined from the date of execution of the last living will known to the attending physician. 31-32-7. (a) No physician nor any person acting under his direction and no hospital, skilled nursing facility, nor any agent or employee thereof who acting in good faith in accordance with the requirements of this chapter causes the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures from a patient or who otherwise participates in good faith

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

therein shall be subject to any civil liability therefor. No physician nor any person acting under his direction and no hospital, skilled nursing facility, nor any agent or employee thereof who acting in good faith in accordance with the requirements of this chapter causes the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures from a patient or who otherwise participates in good faith therein shall be guilty of any criminal act therefor, nor shall any such person be guilty of unprofessional conduct therefor.
(b) No person who witnesses and attests a living will in good faith and in accordance with Code Section 31-32-3 shall be civilly or criminally liable or guilty of unprofessional conduct for such action.
31-32-8. (a) Prior to effecting a withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures from a patient pursuant to a living will, the attending physician:
(1) Shall determine that, to the best of his knowledge, the declarant patient is not pregnant;
(2) Shall, without delay after the diagnosis of a terminal condition of the declarant, take the necessary steps to provide for written certification by said physician of the declarant's terminal condition;
(3) Shall make a reasonable effort to determine that the living will complies with subsection (b) of Code Section 31-32-3; and
(4) Shall make the living will and the written certification of the terminal condi-
tion a part of the declarant patient's medical records. (b) The living will shall be presumed, unless revoked, to be the directions of the
declarant regarding the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures. No person shall be civilly liable for failing or refusing in good faith to effectuate the living will of the declarant patient. The attending physician who fails or refuses to comply with
the declaration of a patient pursuant to this chapter shall endeavor to advise promptly the next of kin or legal guardian of the declarant that such physician is unwilling to effectuate the living will of the declarant patient. The attending physician shall thereaf-
ter at the election of the next of kin or the legal guardian of the declarant: (1) Make a good faith attempt to effect the transfer of the qualified patient to
another physician who will effectuate the declaration of the patient; or (2) Permit the next of kin or legal guardian to obtain another physician who will
effectuate the declaration of the patient.
31-32-9. (a) The making of a living will pursuant to this chapter shall not, for any purpose, constitute a suicide.
(b) The making of a living will pursuant to this chapter shall not restrict, inhibit, or impair in any manner the sale, procurement, issuance, or enforceability of any policy
of life insurance, nor shall it be deemed to modify the terms of an existing policy of life insurance. No policy of life insurance shall be legally impaired or invalidated in any
manner by the making of a living will pursuant to this chapter or by the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures from an insured patient, nor shall the making
of such a living will or the withholding or withdrawal of such life-sustaining procedures operate to deny any additional insurance benefits for accidental death of the patient in
any case in which the terminal condition of the patient is the result of accident, notwithstanding any term of the policy to the contrary.
(c) No physician, hospital, skilled nursing facility, or other health provider and no
health care service plan, insurer issuing disability insurance, self-insured employee welfare benefit plan, or nonprofit hospital service plan shall require any person to execute
a living will as a condition for being insured for, or receiving, health care services. (d) No hospital, skilled nursing facility, or other medical or health care facility shall
prepare, offer to prepare, or otherwise provide forms for living wills.
31-32-10. Any person who willfully conceals, cancels, defaces, obliterates, alters, or damages the living will of another without such declarant's consent or who witnesses a living will knowing at the time he is not eligible to witness such living will under Code
Section 31-32-3 or who coerces or attempts to coerce a person into making a living will shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person who falsifies or forges the living will of
another or willfully conceals or withholds personal knowledge of a revocation as provided in Code Section 31-32-5 with the intent to cause a withholding or withdrawal of life-
sustaining procedures contrary to the wishes of the declarant and, thereby, because of

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1984

1811

any such act, directly causes life-sustaining procedures to be withheld or withdrawn and death thereby to be hastened shall be subject to prosecution for criminal homicide as provided in Chapter 5 of Title 16.
31-32-11. (a) Nothing in this chapter shall impair or supersede any legal right or legal responsibility which any person may have to effect the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures in any lawful manner. In such respect the provisions of this chapter are cumulative.
(b) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to condone, authorize, or approve mercy killing or to permit any affirmative or deliberate act or omission to end life other than to permit the process of dying as provided in this chapter. Furthermore, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to condone, authorize, or approve abortion.
(c) This chapter shall create no presumption concerning the intention of an individual who has not executed a declaration to consent to the use or withholding of lifesustaining procedures in the event of a terminal condition.
31-32-12. This chapter is wholly independent of the provisions of Title 53, relating to wills, trusts, and the administration of estates, and nothing in this chapter shall be construed to affect in any way the provisions of said Title 53."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1984

1833

A BILL
To amend Chapter 2 of Title 27 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to hunting license or permit denial, so as to establish legislative intent and provide administrative penalties for persons who negligently injure or kill another person or persons while engaged in hunting; to define criminal activity and penalties therefor relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 2 of Title 27 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to hunting license or permit denial, is amended by inserting after Code Section 27-2-25 a new Code Section 27-2-25.1 to read as follows:
"27-2-25.1. (a) The General Assembly has heretofore found and declared that hunting is a privilege to be exercised only in accordance with the law granting such privilege. The General Assembly now specifically finds and declares that while the act of hunting is an enjoyable and beneficial form of recreation, it can be dangerous not only to the hunter himself but also to other persons if due care is not exercised. Therefore, the General Assembly declares that all persons who refuse or fail to exercise such due care shall have their hunting licenses suspended as provided in this Code section.
(b) Any person engaged in the act of hunting who by the use of a weapon kills or injures another person or persons, whether or not such other person or persons are likewise engaged in the act of hunting, shall notify the department or any appropriate law enforcement officer who shall then notify the department immediately after such occurrence. Any person who fails so to notify the department or such law enforcement officer shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
(c) Upon notification of such a death or injury, whether by the hunter or by some other person, the department shall immediately initiate an investigation of such incident and submit a report to the commissioner. If the commissioner determines probable negligence on the part of the person causing the death or injury he shall initiate an administrative hearing before an administrative law judge (appointed by the board for a determination as to the issue of negligence and the extent of injury).
(d) Upon the issuance of the notice of hearing, the administrative law judge shall also issue an order suspending such person's hunting license until the final decision of the board. Upon receipt of such order, such person shall immediately surrender his or her hunting license to the department.

A BILL
To amend Chapter 4 of Title 26 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to pharmacists and pharmacies, so as to change certain provisions regarding the registration of pharmacists; to change the validity of pharmacy intern licenses; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

"26-4-76. (a) Every person who shall be duly licensed as a pharmacist under this part shall biennially, before engaging in any business under such license, register at the office of the joint-secretary. The registration shall be entered in a book to be kept for that purpose by the joint-secretary and shall show the registrant's name, nationality and credentials, and date thereof under which he is entitled to engage in such vocation profession at the time of filing such registration; and a certificate of registration stating the terms of the same shall be given him by the joint-secretary. The registration shall show the name and address of the registrant's employer, or, if he is the owner or proprietor of a drug store or pharmacy, it shall show the exact location thereof. Notice of any change of employment or change of business address shall be filed with the jointsecretary within ten days after such change. Each registrant shall pay a registration fee

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

in an amount established by the board to the joint-secretary. Any violation of this Code section shall be grounds for revocation or suspension of license.
(b) The board shall establish a program for the certification of pharmacists who elect to participate in prescribed courses of continuing education and who meet the minimum qualifications for such certification established by the board. No renewal certificate of continuing education certification shall be issued by the board or the joint-secretary until the applicant submits to the board satisfactory proof of his participation, during the calendar year preceding the year of his application for renewal, in not less than the required minimum number of hours of approved programs of continuing professional pharmaceutical education, as defined in this Code section. Continuing professional pharmaceutical education shall consist of educational programs providing training pertinent to the practice of pharmacy and approved by the board under this Code section. The board shall approve educational programs for persons practicing pharmacy in this state on a reasonable nondiscriminatory fee basis and may contract with institutions of higher learning, professional organizations, or qualified individuals for the providing of approved programs. The board may, consistent with the requirements of this Code section, promulgate rules and regulations to implement and administer this Code section, including the establishment of a committee to prescribe standards, approve and contract for educational programs, and set the required minimum number of hours per year.
(c) If the renewal fee for any pharmacist's continued education certificate shall remain unpaid as of the penalty date established by the joint-secretary, the holder thereof may be reinstated as a continued education certified registered pharmacist only upon the payment of a penalty fee in an amount established by the board and all lapsed fees and upon proof of compliance with this Code section and all other provisions of this chapter, which proof shall be satisfactory to the board. Actual retirement from the profession by any registered pharmacist for a period not exceeding five years shall not deprive him from the right to renew his certification upon the payment of all lapsed fees, the completion of the minimum required number of hours of continuing professional pharmaceutical education for each calendar year of retirement, and upon proof of compliance with this chapter."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 26-4-77, relating to pharmacy interns, and inserting in its place the following new Code section:
"26-4-77. Any student in, or who has been accepted for admission to, any generally recognized school or college of pharmacy, and who has completed the prepharmacy requirements, may register with the board and may be licensed as a pharmacy intern. Licenses issued under this Code section shall bear the date thereof and shall be valid for up to two five years. Licenses which shall expire by lapse of time may be renewed upon application, unless at the time of expiration there shall be pending before the board proceedings to suspend or revoke such license. A pharmacy intern may compound, mix, or dispense drugs and medicines or poisons only under the immediate supervision of a pharmacist."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"42-8-73. The community service officer shall place an offender sentenced to community service as a condition of probation with an appropriate agency. The agency and work schedule shall be approved by the court.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1984

shall schedule the community service so that it will not conflict with the offender's work schedule. This shall not be construed as requiring the community service officer to alter scheduled community service based on changes in an offender's work schedule. The community service officer shall supervise the offender for the duration of the community service sentence. Upon completion of the community service sentence, the community service officer shall prepare a written report evaluating the offender's performance which will be used to determine if the conditions of probation have been satisfied."

"ARTICLE 5
42-8-80. The Department of Offender Rehabilitation shall be authorized to establish and operate pretrial release and diversion programs as rehabilitative measures for persons charged with misdemeanors and felonies for which bond is permissible under the law in the courts of this state prior to conviction; provided, however, that no such program shall be established in a county without the unanimous approval of the superior court judges, the district attorney, the solicitor where applicable, and the sheriff of such county. The Board of Offender Rehabilitation shall promulgate rules and regulations governing any pretrial release and diversion programs established and operated by the department and shall grant authorization for the establishment of such programs based on the availability of sufficient staff and resources.
42-8-81. The court in which a person is charged with a misdemeanor or felony for which bond is permissible under the law may, upon the application by the person so charged, at its discretion release the person prior to conviction and upon recognizance to the supervision of a pretrial release or diversion program established and operated by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation after an investigation and upon recommendation of the staff of the pretrial release or diversion program. In no case, however, shall any person be so released unless after consultation with his or her attorney or one made available to the person if he or she is indigent that person has voluntarily agreed to participate in the pretrial release or diversion program and knowingly and intelligently has waived his or her right to a speedy trial for the period of pretrial release or diversion.
42-8-82. The Department of Offender Rehabilitation may contract with the various counties of this state for the services and facilities necessary to operate pretrial release and diversion programs established under this article and both the department and the counties are authorized to enter into such contracts as are appropriate to carry out the purpose of this article.
42-8-83. The authority to establish and operate pretrial release and diversion programs granted to the Department of Offender Rehabilitation under this article shall not affect the authority of the Correctional Services Division of the Georgia Department of Labor to enter into agreements with district attorneys of the several judicial circuits of this state for the purpose of establishing and operating pretrial intervention programs in such judicial circuits."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

tax assessment to county tax officials; to provide for related matters; to provide effective dates; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the "Georgia Public Revenue Code," is amended by striking Code Section 48-2-18, relating to the State Board of Equalization, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"48-2-18. (a) There is established a board composed of the Attorney General, the commissioner, the state auditor, and the executive director of the State Properties Commission the chairman ef- the Ways and Means Committee ef the House of Representatives, and the chairman ef the Banking and Finance Committee -of -the Senate -which-is
meat; or any ta* ft far; the collection ef- which; because ef- the insolvency f the taxpayer e* the questionable legal position ef the state, is doubtful and the settlement er compro-
empowered te settle and compromise. The commissioner shall keep a record ef-all settlcments and compromises made and the reasons for each settlement and compromise.
(b) The board created by this Code section shall be designated the State Board of Equalization. The chairman and administrative officer of the board shall be the commissioner. In addition to its other duties, the board shall hear and determine all appeals by taxpayers who are required by law to return their property for taxation to the commissioner. Each year, when the digest of assessments proposed by the commissioner is complete, the commissioner shall submit the digest to the State Board of Equalization which shall carefully examine the proposed assessments of each class of taxpayers or property and the digest of proposed assessments as a whole to determine that they are reasonably apportioned between the several tax jurisdictions and reasonably uniform with the values set on other classes of property throughout the state. If the board determines that the proposed assessed values of any one or more of the classes of taxpayers or property or the digest as a whole does not reasonably conform to the values set for other property throughout the state, it shall inquire as to the reason for the lack of conformity and shall adjust and equalize the same by either adding or subtracting a fixed percentage to the class of taxpayer, to the class of property, or to the digest as a whole, as the case may be.
(c) As chairman and chief administrative officer of the board, the commissioner shall furnish to the board all necessary records and files and in this capacity may compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books and records or other documents as he is empowered to do in the administration of the tax laws. After final approval by the State Board of Equalization of the digest of proposed assessments made by the commissioner and after any adjustments by the board as authorized by this Code section are made, the commissioner shall notify within ten days each taxpayer in writing of the proposed assessment of its property and shall state in the notice that the taxpayer shall have 20 days after the date on which the notice was mailed in which to submit to the commissioner a written appeal of the proposed assessed valuation and request a hearing on the appeal.
(d) (1) If a timely appeal and request for a hearing pursuant to this Code section is not made, the proposed assessment shall become final and conclusive at the close of the twentieth day after the notice was mailed. Except as otherwise specifically provided by law for one or more of the classes of persons who return their properties to the commissioner, the due date for the payment of taxes and the accrual of interest and penalty shall be as provided by laws applicable to property taxpayers generally.
(2) If a timely appeal and request for a hearing is made, the taxpayer shall pay as they would become due in the absence of an appeal all taxes which are not disputed, based upon the values stated in the taxpayer's return and any other basis for relief authorized by state or federal law, together with any applicable interest and penalty. During the pendency of the appeal before the State Board of Equalization and any subsequent judicial review interest shall accrue at the rate provided by Code Section 48-2-40 on all unpaid amounts that are finally determined to be payable.

1860

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(3) The State Board of Equalization shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine all issues raised by the taxpayer in the appeal. The board shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law and issue an order embodying its decision.
(4) The State Board of Equalization may conduct hearings itself or it may appoint one or more hearing officers on a full or part-time basis to conduct hearings and prepare recommended dispositions for consideration by the board. The board acting through the commissioner and its hearing officers shall have authority to:
(A) Administer oaths and affirmations; (B) Sign and issue subpoenas for trial and for discovery and otherwise authorize and regulate discovery in proceedings before the board by the same methods prescribed by law for discovery in civil actions in the superior courts of this state; (C) Rule upon offers of proof; (D) Regulate the course of hearings, including their time, place, and any continuances thereof; (E) Take official notice of judicially recognizable facts; (F) Receive and consider nonprivileged matters not strictly admissible under the rules of evidence, giving them such weight as appears proper in the circumstances; and (G) Reprimand and exclude from a hearing any person for indecorous or improper conduct committed at or during a hearing. (5) If any person willfully fails or refuses to obey a subpoena issued pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection, it shall be the duty of the judge of the superior court of any county, upon application of the board or the hearing officer, to issue an attachment for such witness and compel him to attend and give his testimony upon such matters as shall be lawfully required; and said court shall have power to punish for contempt as in other cases of refusal to obey the process and order of such court and in case of a failure to make discovery by a party may impose sanctions under Code Section 9-11-37. (6) (A) In every case, the taxpayer shall be given not less than 20 days' notice of a hearing before a hearing officer, a hearing before the board, or a hearing by the board on the findings and recommendations of the hearing officer. Unless waived, a complete record of proceedings shall be made at each such hearing.
(B) In the case of a hearing before a hearing officer, the taxpayer shall be given a copy of the findings and recommendations of the hearing officer.
(C) In the case of a hearing by the board on the findings and recommendations of a hearing officer, the taxpayer may file with the board written objections and may appear before the board to argue such objections.
(D) In every case, a copy of the final decision of the board shall be delivered to the taxpayer by personal service or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.
(7) The notice and appeal procedures provided for in this Code section shall not apply to any decision of the board relating to the assessed value of motor vehicle property.
(e) The taxpayer may appeal the final decision of the board to the superior court given jurisdiction by subsection (a) of Code Section 48-2-59. Such an appeal may be initiated by an appeal filed by the taxpayer with the board within 30 days of service or receipt of the decision of the board. The board should certify the appeal and the record before the board within 30 days of receipt of the taxpayer's appeal. The review in superior court shall be on the record certified by the board and shall be limited to the issues specified in the taxpayer's appeal to the board. The decision of the board shall be taken as prima facie correct and the superior court shall affirm if the decision is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole. As used in this subsection, the term 'substantial evidence' means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.
(f) In the event any order, decision, or other action of the former State Board ^of Equalization created by former Code Section 48-2-18 and prior laws is determined or held to be or to have been null, void, or ineffective for any reason, the department, the

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1984

1861

commissioner, and the new State Board of Equalization created by this Code section shall have the authority to take all appropriate steps to effect valid orders, decisions. or other action respecting the matters involved. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, the right to take the action specified m subsections (a) through (e) of this Code section fully as though the former State Board of Equalization had never acted in regard to the matter and as though the matter had arisen in the first instance after the effective date of this Code section."
Section 2. Said title is further amended by adding a new Code Section 48-2-18.1 to read as follows:
"48-2-18.1. (a) There is established a board composed of the Attorney General, the commissioner, and the state auditor, which is authorized to settle and compromise any proposed tax assessment, any final tax assessment, or any tax fi. fa., where there is doubt as to liability or there is doubt as to collectibility, and the settlement or compromise is in the best interests of the state. A majority of the board shall be empowered to settle and compromise. The commissioner shall keep a record of all settlements and compromises made and the reasons for each settlement and compromise.
(b) The board created by this Code section shall be designated the Tax Settlement and Compromise Board. The chairman and administrative officer of the board shall be the commissioner."
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking from Code Section 48-5-311, relating to county boards of equalization, paragraph (3) of subsection (e) and inserting in its place a new paragraph (3) to read as follows:
"(3) A notice of appeal in the case of residents of the county shall be filed with the county board of tax assessors within 31 30 days from the date of mailing the notice pursuant to Code Section 48-5-306 or paragraph (2) of this subsection. A notice of appeal, in the case of a nonresident of the county, shall be filed with the county board of tax assessors within 30 days from the mailing of the notice, as provided in Code Section 48-5-306 or paragraph (2) of this subsection."
Section 4. Section 3 of this Act shall become effective September 1, 1984. The other provisions of this Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

SR 301. By: Senator Hill of the 29th: A RESOLUTION authorizing the conveyance of certain real property located in Meriwether County, Georgia; and for other purposes.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

The Committee on State Institutions and Property moves to amend SR 301 by renumbering Sections 4 and 5 on page 4 as Sections 5 and 6, respectively, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 4 to read as follows:
"Section 4. That it is the intent of the General Assembly of Georgia that this transfer further enhance the general health and welfare of all citizens within Meriwether County and it is recognized that a certain facility known as the Meriwether County Training Center provides needed services to the developmentally disabled. Since this training center is largely dependent upon funding through the Georgia Department of Human Resources, it is urged that the Georgia Department of Human Resources continue, subject to the availability of funds and subject to a continued need for the facility, a contractual relationship with the county board of health or other appropriate entity in order that there can continue to be a proper training center providing competent and professional services for the developmentally disabled or such others who may be receiving care and training at the existing Meriwether County Training Center in Warm Springs, Georgia. In order to provide services which now exist at this training center, such contractual relationship should also include, if necessary, provisions for reimbursement of customary operating expenses and reasonable overhead so that the physical environment is safe and properly maintained."

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the adoption of the Resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
On the adoption of the Resolution, as amended, the roll call was ordered and the vote was as follows:

A RESOLUTION
Establishing the House Study Committee on Rail Passenger Service in Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the development of rail passenger service can contribute to the orderly growth of the State of Georgia, the redevelopment of older central cities, the promotion of tourism, the improvement of general mobility, the evolution of a less petroleum dependent transportation system, and the concurrent diminution of the need for expensive new highways; and
WHEREAS, the development of such service is possible utilizing existing rail rights of way and would not require extensive land acquisition or new construction; and
WHEREAS, the rail mode of transportation can most easily use electricity as a motive power, making it capable of operation using American resources; and
WHEREAS, surveys of traffic and the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Augusta, and Albany indicate sufficient ridership to justify the development of rail passenger service; and
WHEREAS, the potential economic benefits to the State of Georgia from the development of this service in terms of tourism, expanded markets, enhanced local economic bases, increased employment opportunity, and a balanced transportation system justify an examination of the feasibility of financing and operation of such service by the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, state administration of a passenger rail service development program might make federal funding available for part of the costs to provide such service.

HR 523. By: Representatives Brown of the 88th, Young of the 134th, Mostiler of the 75th, Redding of the 50th, Watts of the 41st, and Barnes of the 90th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Hazardous Materials in the Workplace Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, many Georgia workers are exposed to potentially dangerous chemical substances at their place of employment; and
WHEREAS, for example, the National Institute of Health estimates that 11 million workers have been exposed to asbestos since the early 1940's and, in 1978, the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare concluded that as many as 5.6 million Americans may die of diseases resulting from workplace exposure to asbestos; and
WHEREAS, recent governmental action on both the state and federal levels has focused on awareness and prevention to lessen the risks to current and future workers who are exposed to hazardous materials; and

1920

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, several states have enacted "right-to-know" statutes which usually require employers to notify employees of potential hazards, to provide information on safe handling and emergency response for specific chemicals, and to create employee education and training programs on the risks of working with hazardous substances and how to reduce these risks; and
WHEREAS, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has recently issued rules in this area which will become effective in November, 1985, thus raising the issue of federal preemption of state action.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created the Hazardous Materials in the Workplace Study Committee, which shall be composed of five members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House. The committee shall study the need for state regulation in the area of workplace exposure to hazardous substances in light of the recent federal action in this area. The committee shall be authorized to conduct and hold meetings at such times and places as it deems advisable so as better to enable it to perform its duties under this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the expenses and allowances authorized by law for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than five days unless additional days are authorized by the Speaker of the House. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from funds appropriated or otherwise available to the legislative branch of government. The committee may make a report of its findings and recommendations by not later than December 31, 1984, on which date the committee shall stand abolished. Such report shall be accompanied by a draft of any legislation the committee may find necessary to implement its recommendations.

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the adoption of the Resolution, was agreed to.

Except as provided in this rule, every privileged resolution shall be referred to a committee. It shall not be necessary, however, to refer to a committee a privileged resolution which commends, congratulates, or extends condolences or which is of a similar nature. The presiding officer shall determine whether a resolution is privileged and shall determine whether it is to be referred to a committee.
Rule 54. No Committee of the Whole House or other committee shall deface or interline a bill, resolution, or other paper referred to the committee but shall report any amendment recommended on a separate paper, noting the section, page, or line to which the amendment relates.

Rule 55. All reports of a committee shall be in writing. The minority of a committee may make a report in writing, setting forth succinctly the reasons for its dissent. Wherever practicable, each committee shall include with its report on each general bill or resolution a brief resume of the bill. If the committee shall so order, the Clerk shall have such report printed and distributed to the members of the House.
Rule 56. In cases where the report of a committee is favorable to the passage of a bill or resolution or the bill or resolution is reported without recommendation, the same shall be passed to a third reading without question. If the report of a committee is adverse to the passage of a bill or resolution, the question shall be on agreeing to the report of the committee. However, House and Senate bills and resolutions adversely reported shall not be taken up except by request of a member of the House. Such request must be made not later than adjournment of the next legislative day following the unfavorable committee report. In such case, the motion to disagree shall be placed on the calendar. If the report of the committee is agreed to, the bill or resolution shall be lost. If the report of the committee is disagreed to, the bill or resolution shall be put on the general calendar unless the bill or resolution is recommitted.
Rule 57. If a bill or resolution has been referred to and reported by more than one committee or has been reported and recommitted to the same committee, the last committee report shall be acted on by the House. In all cases, the report of the Committee of the Whole House shall be first acted on by the House.
Rule 58. Whenever any bill or resolution has been referred to a committee and the committee has held the bill or resolution in its custody or control for ten legislative days without reporting on it, any member of the House shall have the right, immediately after the confirmation of the journal, to serve notice that at the next regular meeting day of the House he or she will submit a motion instructing such committee to report such bill or resolution back to the House. On the next regular meeting day of the House after such notice has been given, any member of the House, immediately after the confirmation of the journal, may move to instruct such committee to report such bill or resolution back to the House. If the motion is passed by two-thirds of those voting, if those voting constitute a quorum, it shall be the duty of such committee to report such bill or resolution accordingly, with or without recommendation, at the next regular meeting day. Upon failure of the committee to report such bill or resolution accordingly, it shall automatically be returned to the House for consideration. Debate on such motion to instruct the committee to report a bill or resolution back to the House shall be limited to 20 minutes unless otherwise ordered by the House. When such bill or resolution is so reported or returned to the House, it may be referred or committed as other bills or resolutions.
Any motion or resolution to set a special order or to change the order of business for any particular day which has been referred to the Committee on Rules may be held in the custody and control of such committee for only three days.

Rule 82. If any member shall be called to order for words spoken, the words excepted to shall be taken down in writing by the Clerk and read. The words excepted to shall then be admitted, denied, or explained by the member who spoke them. Thereupon, the question of order shall be decided and such other proceedings shall be conducted as the House may deem proper in regard thereto. If, at any time, the House is acting under the previous

1936

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

question, such question of order and other proceedings referred to shall not be taken up for decision until after the previous question and the main question have been disposed of or until such future time as may then be ordered by the House. No member shall be held to answer or be subject to actions by the House for words spoken in debate if any other member has spoken or other business has intervened before the exception to the words is taken.
Rule 83. Except as otherwise stated in these rules, no member shall address the House or a member of the House or interrogate a member who is speaking, except through the Speaker. Should the member speaking decline to be interrupted, the Speaker shall cause the member desiring to interrogate to be silent.
Rule 84. No member shall refer in debate to any private conversation with another member.
Rule 85. In addressing any other member, a member may designate the other member by: "Mr.," "Mrs.," or "Ms." plus the member's last name; or by the member's title, by the district he or she represents, or by the county or city of his or her residence. Examples of acceptable ways to address members are: "Mr. Jones," "Mrs. Smith," "Ms. Smith," "the Representative from the First District," "Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore," "Mr. Administration Floor Leader," "Mr. Majority Leader," "the lady from DeKalb," "the Representative from Waycross," or "the gentleman from Macon."
MOTIONS
Rule 86. When any subject is before the House for consideration or under debate, no motion shall be received except the following: (1) A motion to adjourn. (2) A motion to lay on the table. (3) A motion for the previous question. (4) A motion to adjourn to a time definite. (5) A motion to indefinitely postpone. (6) A motion to postpone to a day certain or to a time certain if postponed to a later time on the same legislative day. (7) A motion to commit. (8) A motion to amend. (9) A motion to print. Such motions shall have precedence in the order named. Any of the above motions may be withdrawn by the movant at any time prior to the vote on the motion. Such motions made by any member need not be seconded.
Rule 87. No member may make more than one motion at a time. While the motion is being put to the House, the member making the motion must resume his or her seat, and such member is not further entitled to the floor unless recognized again by the Speaker.
Rule 88. No member who has the floor shall make any motion, the effect of which is to cut off debate, without relinquishing the floor.
COMMITMENT
Rule 89. Motions to commit may be made to refer a bill, resolution, or other measure to a standing or special committee or Committee of the Whole House. On a motion to commit, no debate shall be allowed. A motion to commit may be amended by substituting another committee for the one named by the member making the motion.
Rule 90. A motion to commit to a standing committee takes precedence over a motion to commit to a special committee and shall be first voted on. However, where a motion is made that a bill, resolution, or other measure be committed to the Committee of the Whole House, this motion shall be put before either of the above-named motions.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1984

1937

Rule 91. Any proposition that has been referred to any standing or special committee may, on motion, be recommitted to the same or any other committee by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum.
TABLING
Rule 92. A motion to lay on the table may be made after the motion for the previous question has been sustained; but, after the main question has been ordered, no motion to lay on the table is in order.
Rule 93. No motion to lay an amendment on the table shall be in order.
Rule 94. Neither the motion to lay on the table nor the motion to take from the table is debatable or amendable.
Rule 95. A motion to lay on the table or to take from the table may be renewed from time to time when new business has intervened between the votes.
Rule 96. If the motion to lay on the table prevails, it removes the measure from the consideration of the House, together with all the motions attached to it at the time.
When a proposition is taken from the table, it stands before the House in the exact form, with all the motions pertaining to it, as it stood at the time the motion to lay on the table prevailed. The measure and all motions shall remain in numerical order on the general calendar; provided, however, if the measure is tabled during the last 21 days of a session and taken from the table on the same legislative day, it shall remain on that day's rules calendar and shall be treated as any other measure then on the rules calendar.
Rule 97. A majority of a quorum voting is necessary to lay a bill, resolution, or paper on the table. At any time when the House is not engaged on any other measure, a majority of a quorum voting may take from the table any bill, resolution, or paper which has been ordered to lie on the table.
INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT
Rule 98. A motion to indefinitely postpone, if decided in the affirmative by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, thereby disposes of said bill, resolution, or other measure for the session. Only one motion to indefinitely postpone any bill, resolution, or other measure shall be allowed.
Rule 99. While the motion to indefinitely postpone takes precedence over a motion to postpone to a day certain, or to commit, or to amend, a motion to indefinitely postpone cannot be applied to said motions, nor can it be applied to incidental questions, such as questions of order, reading of papers, withdrawal of a motion, and suspension of a rule.
Rule 100. The motion to indefinitely postpone lays open the whole question for debate, but the motion cannot be amended.
POSTPONEMENT
Rule 101. A motion to postpone to a day or time certain cannot be applied to subordinate or incidental questions but only to the whole measure. When the motion prevails, it carries forward the whole proposition and its motions to the day or time named.
Rule 102. On a motion to postpone a question to a day or time certain, debate on the merits of the question is not in order. Debate and amendments may be allowed, but shall be confined strictly to the proposition to postpone and to show why one day or time is preferred to another. It shall be the duty of the Speaker to hold members rigidly to these points.
Rule 103. The motion to postpone to a day or time certain may be amended by substituting one day or time for another. In this case, the time would be treated as a blank and the Speaker should treat any such amendment as the Speaker would those to fill a blank.

1938

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Rule 104. A motion to postpone to a day known to be beyond the limits of the session shall not be in order.
Rule 105. If the motion to postpone a bill, a resolution, or other measure is decided in the negative, the question is left before the House as it was before the motion was made, and a second motion to postpone cannot be made on the same day.
Rule 106. The motion to postpone a bill, resolution, or other measure to a day or time certain, when decided in the affirmative by a majority of those voting, providing the total vote constitutes a quorum, removes the subject from before the House until the day or time designated.
AMENDMENT
Rule 107. There are three ways in which a proposition may be amended: (1) By inserting or adding words, numbers, punctuation, or letters. (2) By striking out words, numbers, punctuation, or letters. (3) By striking out and inserting words, numbers, punctuation, or letters.
An amendment is subject to be amended in all three of the ways mentioned above, but it is not permissible to amend an amendment to an amendment, except by unanimous consent.
Rule 108. A substitute shall be treated as an amendment in these rules. However, for the purpose of amending a substitute, a substitute shall not be treated as an amendment.
Rule 109. All motions to amend any matter before the House must be in writing. They must plainly and distinctly set forth the amendment desired and the part or parts of the bill or resolution where the amendment shall be inserted or added.
Rule 110. Any irrelevant motion, irrelevant amendment, or amendment which is not germane to the subject under consideration shall be ruled out of order by the Speaker.
Rule 111. Where blanks occur in any proposition, they must be filled before any motion is made to amend the proposition.
Rule 112. When a bill or resolution is before the House for consideration, and amendments are pending thereto, and a substitute shall be offered for said bill or resolution, and an amendment shall be offered to said substitute, it shall be in order for the House to perfect first the original bill or resolution and then perfect the substitute. The question shall then be on agreeing to the substitute as amended, if it has been amended; and, if decided in the affirmative, the question shall be, "Shall this bill pass by substitute?" or "Shall this resolution be adopted by substitute?" as the case may be." If both a committee substitute and a floor substitute are offered for a bill or resolution, a vote shall be taken on the committee substitute first.
Rule 113. When a motion is made to amend by striking out a part of a bill or resolution, any amendment offered to perfect the part proposed to be stricken shall be put before the question is put for striking it out.
Rule 114. On all questions, whether in committee or in the House, the last amendment, the most distant day, and the largest sum shall be considered first.
Rule 115. After commitment of a bill and report thereof to the House, it may be amended before the report of the committee is agreed to by the House; but the amendments, if any, reported by the committee shall be disposed of before any other amendment is considered unless it is an amendment to a committee amendment.
Rule 116. An amendment cannot be offered after the report of the committee to which the bill or resolution under consideration was referred has been agreed to by the House, unless the action of the House in so agreeing to the report of the committee shall first be reconsidered.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1984

1939

Rule 117. When a proposition consisting of several sections or paragraphs is on a final reading and the House agrees to a motion to consider it by sections or paragraphs, the Clerk in reading it shall pause at the end of each section or paragraph. The amendments thereto shall be offered as the several sections or paragraphs are read. However, the amendments offered by the committee to which the bill or resolution was referred shall be read by the Clerk without any motion being made. When a section or paragraph has been adopted, it is not in order to recur and amend the same, unless first reconsidered.
Rule 118. The questions which arise before the House respecting amendments by the Senate to a House bill or resolution are, in order of precedence: (1) A motion to agree to the Senate amendment. (2) A motion to disagree with the Senate amendment. (3) A motion to recede from the House's disagreement or amendment. (4) A motion to insist on the House's disagreement or amendment.
When in the Speaker's opinion a Senate amendment to a House bill is not germane, the Speaker is authorized on the Speaker's own motion or upon a point of order being made to rule out such amendment. The effect of such ruling of the Speaker, if not appealed from or if appealed from and the appeal is not sustained, shall be the same as a vote of the House to disagree, and the Clerk shall so report it to the Senate. Such point of order shall take precedence over a motion to agree.
However, when any question of disagreement with the Senate arises, the following motions shall be in order at any time the movant can legally obtain the floor: 1st. a motion to insist upon the House position and 2nd. a motion to recede from the House position. Debate thereon is limited as in the case of reconsideration. These motions shall be put in the order listed, subject to disposition by the House of any amendments affecting the matter in disagreement.
Rule 119. A motion to amend an amendment made by the Senate to a House bill or resolution takes precedence over a motion to agree or disagree to the amendment.
Rule 120. When any bill or resolution which originated in the House has been amended in the Senate and is before the House for action on the Senate amendment, an amendment may be offered in the House to the Senate amendment; but the House amendment to the Senate amendment cannot be further amended. The amendment offered in the House to the Senate amendment must be agreed to or voted down before the Senate amendment, as amended by such House amendment, may be agreed to or voted down.
Rule 121. A Senate amendment to a House bill or resolution must be adopted by the vote required to pass the bill, resolution, or matter under consideration.
PREVIOUS QUESTION
Rule 122. The previous question may be called and ordered upon a single motion or an amendment, or it may be made to embrace all authorized motions or amendments and include the entire bill.
Rule 123. Any member may call for a division of the question on a subject which, in the opinion of the presiding officer, is one which may be divided. The member calling for a division must state what definite parts and how many parts the member would have the question divided into. Each part of the divided proposition must be so distinct that if taken away the remainder can stand by itself as a consistent and entire unit.
A qualifying paragraph, an exception, or a proviso, if taken from that to which it belongs, would not contain a distinct or entire proposition.
A motion to "strike out and insert" is an indivisible proposition.
Rule 124. The motion for the previous question shall be decided without debate and shall take precedence over all other motions except a motion to adjourn or to lay on the table. Neither of such motions shall be made more than once until after the previous question has been exhausted. When it is moved, the first question shall be, "Shall the motion for the previous question be sustained?" If this is decided by a majority of those voting,

1940

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, and the next question: "Shall the main question be now put?" is decided in the affirmative by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, all other motions, except one to reconsider the action in ordering the main question, will be out of order and the House cannot adjourn until the previous question is exhausted or the regular hour of adjournment arrives.
No motion to reconsider the action of the House in ordering the main question shall be in order after the Clerk has called the first name on call of the yeas and nays and the vote of any member has been given, or the Speaker has ordered the roll-call system to be unlocked for voting, or after a division of the House has been had on the vote and the vote is in process of being counted and announced. In such cases the roll call shall be completed, the vote counted, and the result finally announced.
Rule 125. When the previous question has been ordered, the House shall proceed to act on the main question without debate, except that, before the main question is put, 20 minutes shall be allocated to the chairman of the committee whose report of the bill or other measure is under consideration to close the debate. The chairman may yield the floor to such members as he or she may designate for all or any part of the 20 minutes allowed under this paragraph.
In all cases where a minority committee report has been submitted on the legislation, if the previous question has been ordered, and prior to the time allocated to the chairman, there shall be allocated 20 minutes to the first signer of the minority report to present the minority position. He or she may yield the floor to such members as he or she may designate for all or part of the time allowed under this paragraph.
Rule 126. All incidental questions of order arising after a motion is made for the previous question, and pending such motion, shall be decided without debate, whether on appeal or otherwise.
Rule 127. The effect of the order that the main question be now put is to bring the House to a vote on the pending questions.
Rule 128. After the main question has been ordered, a motion to reconsider this action will, if adopted, have the effect to repeal the ordering of both the main question and the previous question and will leave the pending measure again open to debate and amendment, and the same time limits provided for in Rule 125 shall be applicable. The motion to reconsider the ordering of the main question can be made only once and, if lost or if the main question is again subsequently ordered on the pending measure, no second motion to reconsider the ordering of the main question shall be entertained.
VOTING
Rule 129. If no specific vote is provided in these rules for the passage of any resolution, motion, or measure, which will not become a law, the vote for such passage must be by at least a majority of all members to which the House is entitled, unless enacted by unanimous consent.
Rule 130. No member shall be permitted to cast his or her vote on any motion, resolution, amendment, bill, or other question until the question is put to the House under the rules of the House by the Speaker.
Rule 131. The Speaker's method of stating a question or any motion, after the same has been read to the House by the Clerk, shall be as follows: "All in favor of the motion will say 'Aye.' Those opposed will say 'No.'" When a decision seems doubtful to the Speaker or when a division of the House is called for by any member of the House, the Speaker shall call upon the members in favor of the motion to indicate by a show of hands. After a count is had by the Clerk, the Speaker shall call upon the members to reverse their positions, and the Speaker shall announce the result.
Rule 132. When less than a quorum vote on any subject under consideration by the House, the Speaker may order the doors of the House to be closed and the roll of members called by the Clerk or by the electric roll-call system. If it is ascertained that a quorum is present, either by answering to their names or by their presence in the House, the

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1984

1941

refusal of any member present to vote, unless excused, shall be deemed a contempt of the House.
Rule 133. After the main question is ordered, any member may call for a division of the House in taking the vote or may call for the yeas and nays. If the call for the yeas and nays is sustained by one-fifth of the members voting, the vote shall be taken by the yeas and nays and so entered on the journal. A motion for the call of the yeas and nays shall be decided without debate.
Rule 134. When the question is put, every member within the chamber shall vote unless the member is immediately and particularly interested therein or unless the member is excused by the House. A motion by a member to be excused from voting must be made before the House divides or before the call of the yeas and nays is commenced, and it shall be decided without debate. The member making the motion may briefly state the reason why it should prevail. In every case where the seat of a member is being contested, the sitting member and the contestant shall both retire from the House before the vote is taken.
Rule 135. No pairing of members shall be recognized or allowed as an excuse for not voting.
Rule 136. No member or person shall vote for another member on any question or proposition. Any violation of this rule may be punished by fine, censure, or other action ordered by the House.
Rule 137. No member shall be permitted to explain his or her vote during a roll call, but such member may reduce his or her explanation to writing in not more than 200 words. If this writing is filed with the Clerk on the same day as the roll call, the writing shall be spread upon the journal.
Rule 138. During the calling or reading of yeas and nays on any question, no debate shall be allowed.
Rule 139. If the taking of yeas and nays is required by the Constitution, by House rule, or by law, the electric roll-call system shall be used, unless the Speaker orders the Clerk to take a viva voce roll call. On all other questions or propositions, the Speaker may, in the Speaker's discretion, order a division of the House, a roll call on the electric roll-call system, or a viva voce roll call.
When the House is ready to vote upon a question and the vote is to be by the electric roll-call system, the Speaker shall state: "The question is on (designating the matter to be voted upon). All in favor of such question shall vote 'Aye,' and all opposed shall vote 'No.'" The Speaker shall then have the voting machine unlocked.
When sufficient time has elapsed for each member to vote, the Speaker shall ask: "Have all members voted?"
The Speaker shall then have the machine locked and announce the results.
Rule 140. After the call of the yeas and nays, the Clerk shall verify how each member voted, and no member shall be permitted to change his or her vote unless the member declares at the time of the verification that he or she voted under a mistake of the question. When the electric roll-call system is used, this rule shall not be applicable.
Verification of a roll-call vote may be dispensed with only by unanimous consent or by a majority of a quorum. When the electric roll-call system is used, no verification of the roll-call vote is required.
Rule 141. Each member shall vote from such member's own seat when the yeas and nays are taken by the electric roll call, and during such a vote no person shall be allowed upon the floor of the House except the members and those persons provided for in these rules.
Rule 142. Whenever on any question the yeas and nays have been ordered, the Clerk shall also enter on the journal the names of those members not voting.

1942

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

RECONSIDERATION
Rule 143. Motions for reconsideration of a bill or resolution shall be in order immediately before the period for members to rise on points of personal privilege under Rule 37 and the third reading of bills and resolutions on the day succeeding the action sought to be reconsidered and such other days as provided in these rules. Before any action can be reconsidered, notice must have been given to the House of intention to so move during the legislative day during which the action sought to be reconsidered took place. The notice of a motion to reconsider shall not be withdrawn after the time has elapsed within which it might originally have been made. A motion for reconsideration takes a majority of those voting, providing the total vote constitutes a quorum.
When the action sought to be reconsidered occurs on the last legislative day of the week, the motion for reconsideration shall be in order on the following Monday. When the action sought to be reconsidered occurs on either of the last three days of the session, the same may be reconsidered only before the transaction of other business. When the action sought to be reconsidered occurs on the last day on which a bill or resolution could be transmitted to the Senate in order to comply with any Senate rule relative to the first reading of House bills and resolutions in the Senate, the same may be reconsidered only before the transaction of other business.
The action of the House upon a House amendment may be reconsidered at any time before final action upon the section, bill, or resolution to which the amendment relates. The action of the House on Senate amendments shall be in order for reconsideration immediately, and not otherwise.
Rule 144. No bill, resolution, or amendment shall be reconsidered more than once.
Rule 145. Any bill or resolution which is reconsidered shall take its place in numerical order on the general calendar and shall include any substitute and all amendments which were a part of such bill or resolution when the action of the House which is being reconsidered was taken.
COMMITTEES OF CONFERENCE
Rule 146. Whenever any member moves that a committee of conference be appointed, on disagreeing votes or other matters of the two houses, and the motion prevails, the Speaker shall appoint three members for the committee who voted in the majority on the position assumed by the House on the passage of the bill or resolution, if such vote has been recorded.
The committee of conference may consider the whole subject matter embraced in a bill, resolution, or other matter before it and may recommend recision by either house, new amendments, new bills and resolutions, or other germane changes before the members of the committee of conference are appointed.
When a committee of conference has been appointed and has begun meeting, if two Senate members of the committee and two House members of the committee shall decide that the efficiency of the committee is being impeded or that the committee is unable to make sound fiscal recommendations, as a result of public meetings, a report of this decision shall be made by the House conferees to the full House. The full House shall then vote and, if a majority of the members elected to the House vote to adopt the report, the committee of conference shall continue its deliberations in executive session. The committee of conference may establish rules for the conduct of its meetings which are not in conflict with this rule.
A report of a committee of conference must be approved by a majority vote of the entire membership of the committee before the report may be transmitted to either the Senate or the House.
After a committee of conference has been in existence for five days and has failed to make a report to the House on the question under consideration, the House, on motion and by a majority vote of all members elected to the House, may discharge the House conferees and direct the Speaker to appoint another committee of conference. However, during the last five days of the session such motions may be made and passed at any time, but not more often than every three hours.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1984

Rule 148. The Speaker shall not recognize any member at any time, except during the first thirty minutes after the confirmation of the journal, for the purpose of asking unanimous consent: (1) to read any bill or resolution the second time or any local bill or resolution or (2) to put any local bill or resolution upon its passage.

Rule 152. The motion to adjourn may be made at any time when the movant can legitimately obtain the floor.
Rule 153. A motion to adjourn may be made after the motion for the previous question has been sustained. However, when the main question has been ordered, no motion to adjourn is in order; nor shall any motion to adjourn be in order after the Clerk has called the first name of the yeas and nays and a vote of one member has been given, or after the Speaker has ordered the roll-call system unlocked for voting, or after a division of the House has been had on a vote and the vote is in process of being counted and announced. In such cases the roll call shall be completed, the vote counted, and the result finally announced before a motion to adjourn shall be in order.
Rule 154. A motion to adjourn is in no instance debatable, nor shall a motion to adjourn be made a second time until further progress has been made in the business before the House. A motion to adjourn in its simple form shall not be amended.
Rule 155. A motion to adjourn to a particular day or for a particular time, if made when the House is not actually engaged in other business, is debatable and is amendable as to the day or time proposed.
Rule 156. When a motion to adjourn in its simple form prevails, it adjourns the House to the next legislative day.

CONTESTS
Rule 159. All contests to the seating of any person elected as a member of the House of Representatives shall be filed with the Clerk of the House.

Said seven page days may be utilized on one legislative day or on separate legislative days in the discretion of the member. No one shall be eligible to serve as a page who is not at least 12 years of age. A member must make a reservation for each page at least one week prior to the date on which the member wishes such page to serve.

A BILL
To amend Article 2 of Chapter 36 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to annexation by municipal corporations pursuant to application of 60 percent of landowners and electors, so as to place a limitation on such annexation by certain municipalities; to provide for definitions in connection therewith; to provide for other matters relative thereto; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 2 of Chapter 36 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to annexation by municipal corporations pursuant to application of 60 percent of landowners and electors, is amended by adding immediately following Code Section 36-36-22 a new Code Section 36-36-22.1 to read as follows:
"36-36-22.1. (a) As used in the Code section, the term: (1) 'Assessed valuation of property per pupil in average daily attendance' means
the amount determined by dividing the number of pupils in average daily attendance of a school system into the then current equalized adjusted school property tax digest, as defined in paragraph (3) of this subsection, of the school system.
(2) 'Average daily attendance' means average daily attendance of pupils in a county or independent school system determined from official reports of attendance provided for in Code Section 20-2-226.
(3) 'Equalized adjusted school property tax digest' means 40 percent of the equalized adjusted school property tax digest for each county and independent school system prepared by the state auditor pursuant to Code Section 48-5-274.
(4) 'Municipality' means a municipality as defined in Code Section 36-36-20 which: (A) Has within its corporate boundaries an independent school system with an
average daily attendance exceeding 3,000 at the time of the adoption of an annexing ordinance as provided in Code Section 36-36-27;
(B) Is located within a county in which the county school system of such county has an average daily attendance exceeding 45,000 at the time of the adoption by the municipality of an annexing ordinance as provided in Code Section 36-36-27; and
(C) Has an assessed valuation of property per pupil in average daily attendance which exceeds by 40 percent or more the assessed valuation of property per pupil in average daily attendance of the county school system of the county wherein the municipality is located, with such calculations being based on the time of the adoption of an annexing ordinance by the municipality as provided in Code Section 36-36-27. (5) 'Residential property' means improved property used exclusively for single or multifamily dwellings and unimproved property which is zoned exclusively for either single family or multifamily dwellings. (b) Any other provisions of this article to the contrary notwithstanding, except as otherwise provided by subsection (c) of this Code section, during any calendar year, beginning with calendar year 1984, the total territory annexed by a municipality, excluding residential property, pursuant to the authority of this article shall not decrease the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of the county school system of the county wherein the municipality is located by more than 2 percent of the net increase in the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of such county school system which occurred during the immediately preceding calendar year, beginning with calendar year 1983. If there is no net increase in the equalized adjusted school property tax digest of such county school system during any calendar year, then the municipality shall not be authorized to annex any territory, other than residential property, pursuant to the authority of this article at any time during the immediately following calendar year. (c) If the value of the total territory actually annexed by a municipality during a calendar year, excluding the value of residential property annexed during the calendar year,

1970

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

is less than the value of territory which could have been annexed within the limitation provided by subsection (b) of this Code section during that calendar year, then for the immediately following calendar year only, the limitation otherwise applicable under subsection (b) of this Code section shall be increased by the difference between the value of the property which could have been annexed and the value of the property actually annexed during the calendar year."
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.

Section 1. Article VIII, Section VI of the Constitution is amended by adding three new Paragraphs at the end thereof, to be designated Paragraph IV, Paragraph V, and Paragraph VI, respectively, to read as follows:
"Paragraph IV. Special state sales and use tax. (a) There is levied beginning January 1, 1985, a special retail sales and use tax for educational and other purposes at the rate of 1 percent. Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph, the tax imposed by this Paragraph shall correspond, so far as practicable, except as to rate, with the retail sales and use tax levied by Article 1 of Chapter 8 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated or its successor law, as now or hereafter amended.

Items and transactions which are not subject to said retail sales and use tax shall not be subject to the 1 percent retail sales and use tax levied by this Paragraph, except that sales and use of motor fuel shall be subject to said tax levied by this Paragraph to the same extent that sales and use of motor fuel are subject to the second motor fuel tax imposed by Code Section 48-9-14 or its successor law. The special sales and use tax imposed by this Paragraph on motor fuel shall

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

not be appropriated for transportation purposes as provided in Paragraph VI of Section IX of Article III.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article III, Section IX, Paragraph VI, a portion of all money received by the state in each state fiscal year from the tax levied by this Paragraph, including the amount of tax levied by this Paragraph on the sale and use of motor fuels and less the amount of refunds, rebates, and collection costs authorized by this Paragraph or by law, is appropriated to the State Department of Education, or its successor agency, to be used solely in the manner and for the purposes as hereinafter set out. The portion of such money so appropriated shall be $400 million, except that:
(A) The General Assembly by general law may increase but shall not decrease below $400 million the portion so appropriated; and
(B) If in any state fiscal year the money received by the state from the tax levied by this Paragraph is less than $400 million, then the amount so appropriated shall be the amount received by the state, including the amount of tax levied by this Paragraph on the sale and use of motor fuels and less the amount of refunds, rebates, and collection costs authorized by this Paragraph or by law. (2) (A) Beginning on July 1, 1985, and annually thereafter, 50 percent of the proceeds of the funds appropriated to the State Department of Education pursuant to this Paragraph during the preceding fiscal year shall be allocated to each public school system in this state for educational purposes in such manner as shall be prescribed by the General Assembly.
(B) Beginning on July 1, 1985, and annually thereafter, 50 percent of the proceeds of the funds appropriated to the State Department of Education pursuant to this Paragraph during the preceding fiscal year shall be allocated to each public school system in this state in the same ratio as the ratio of the average daily attendance of public and private school students, grades K through 12, in the school district bears to the average daily attendance of public and private school students, grades K through 12, in the state as a whole, except that, in those instances where pupils residing in one district attend schools located within the limits of another district, the portion of the allocation representing such pupils which otherwise would have been received by the district within the limits of which the pupils are in attendance shall be allotted to the district in which the pupils reside.
(3) The money so appropriated to the State Department of Education shall be used for educational and tax relief purposes and shall be available for the purposes of this Paragraph regardless of whether the General Assembly enacts a general appropriations Act or not, but the General Assembly may appropriate funds for such educational purposes in excess of the amount of money appropriated by this Paragraph. The appropriation made by this Paragraph shall be in addition to and not in place of any funds otherwise appropriated for educational and tax relief purposes. The expenditure of the money appropriated by this Paragraph shall be subject to all the rules, regulations, and restrictions imposed on the expenditure of appropriations by provisions of the Constitution and laws of this state, unless such provisions are in conflict with the provisions of this Paragraph, except that the money so appropriated shall not be subject to budgetary reduction.
Paragraph V. Ad valorem tax adjustments, (a) Beginning with the ad valorem school tax levy for 1985, each public school system shall certify to its fiscal authority trwatoe.m' ill rates which shall be known as the 'unreduced mill rate' and the 'reduced mill
(b) The unreduced mill rate shall be fixed such that:
(1) It does not exceed the limit in effect for the school district under Section VI of this Article; and
(2) It would, when combined with other revenues reasonably expected to be received by the school system during the year other than revenues derived under Paragraph IV (b)(2)(B) of this Section, provide revenues sufficient to defray the maintenance and operation expenses of the school district for the year, not to include expenses to retire bonded indebtedness.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1984

1993

(c) The reduced mill rate shall be calculated by subtracting from the unreduced mill rate a mill rate which, if levied against the taxable tangible property within the school district other than property owned by taxpayers required to return their property to the state revenue commissioner or his successor, would produce an amount equal to the amount allocated by Paragraph IV (b)(2)(B) of this Section to the school district from sales taxes imposed during the fiscal year ending in the calendar year for which the reduced mill rate is being calculated. If the calculation required by this subparagraph (c) produces a mill rate of less than 15 mills, however, the school system may certify to its fiscal authority as its reduced mill rate any mill rate which does not exceed 15 mills.
(d) If any school system certifies to its fiscal authority a reduced mill rate which is less than six mills, all amounts which would have been allocated by Paragraph IV (b)(2)(B) of this Section to the school system for the fiscal year beginning in the calendar year for which such reduced mill rate below six mills is certified shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury. For purposes of this subparagraph, an independent school system which assesses property for ad valorem taxation at a higher percentage of fair market value than 40 percent shall be deemed to have certified a reduced mill rate of six mills or more if the reduced mill rate certified on such higher assessment basis is equivalent to a mill rate of six mills or more on that independent school system's tax digest adjusted to a 40 percent assessment basis. For purposes of this subparagraph (d), any school system in whose school district there is levied a local sales and use tax for educational purposes shall be deemed to have certified a reduced mill rate of six mills or more if the reduced mill rate actually certified by the school system plus the mill rate which, if levied against the taxable tangible property within the school district other than property owned by taxpayers required to return their property to the state revenue commissioner or his successor, would produce an amount equal to the amount produced by the local sales and use tax for educational purposes is six mills or more.
(e) Each school system's fiscal authority shall on behalf of the school system levy the unreduced mill rate certified by the school system, subject to the adjustments provided by this subparagraph. Each ad valorem taxpayer other than those ad valorem taxpayers required to return their property to the state revenue commissioner shall receive a credit against the amount of ad valorem taxes due. The amount of this credit shall be the amount by which the taxes due would be reduced if the mill rate levied were the reduced mill rate certified by the school system, except that the credit granted to each taxpayer on property in each school district shall not exceed $1,500.00 and shall not exceed the amount of school ad valorem taxes due. The amount of taxes for which each such taxpayer is billed shall be reduced by the amount of this credit, and the amount by which such credit has reduced the amount of taxes billed shall be shown on each bill.
(f) The amount allocated to each public school system from sales tax collections in each fiscal year by Paragraph IV (b)(2)(B) of this Section shall be distributed to the public school system by the Department of Education within 30 days after an appropriate certification by the school system has been made as to its entitlement to said distribution. The amount allocated shall prior to distribution be reduced by the total amount by which each credit granted in the school district would have exceeded $1,500.00 if such credits were not limited to that amount. The amount by which each school system's allocation is so reduced shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury.
Paragraph VI. Procedures. The General Assembly may from time to time provide by general law for procedures for collection, holding, and depositing at interest or for other matters of an administrative nature with respect to funds derived from the tax provided for in Paragraph IV of this section prior to the time provided for the distribution thereof except that no such provisions shall alter the use or method of allocation of such funds."
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:

HR 735. By: Representative Workman of the 51st:

2002

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A RESOLUTION

Creating the Motor Vehicle Insurance Renewal Rate Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the need for insurance, particularly motor vehicle insurance, is self-evident and is, in fact, required by law; and
WHEREAS, the cost of such insurance is extremely burdensome on everyone; and
WHEREAS, the cost of motor vehicle insurance is, to some extent, controlled by the insured's history of claims against his insurance company and the insured's number of motor vehicle accidents; and
WHEREAS, it is understandable that an individual's insurance rates will increase with a corresponding increase in claims against the carrier; however, practical experience shows that high premium rate increases are often imposed on individuals with as few as one claim against the insurance carrier; and
WHEREAS, these increases appear to have little relationship to the actual or potential financial exposure of the insurance company.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created the Motor Vehicle Insurance Renewal Rate Study Committee to be composed of five members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The committee shall make a comprehensive study of the renewal rates for motor vehicle insurance with particular emphasis on rate increases imposed as a result of claims by the insured. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, no later than December 31, 1984, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representative Workman of the 51st moves to amend HR 735 by striking on line 13, page 2, the word "ten" and inserting in its place the word "five".

The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the adoption of the Resolution, was agreed to, as amended.

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 Senate 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 findings and purpose; to provide for definitions; to require certain hospitals to provide emergency 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 emergency 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 conflicting 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:
"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 making progress in improving services and funding. However, the General Assembly is concerned 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.

2054

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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, and for services rendered by a physician in connection therewith, at the reimbursement rate currently in effect for the hospital and physician 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 governmental 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 appropriate, necessary emergency services to any pregnant woman who presents herself in active labor to the hospital, if those services are usually and customarily provided in that facility, 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. If, in the medical judgment 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
(4) Send to the receiving hospital any available information on the patient's history 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.
(b) Within 30 days after receiving the standards provided by the commissioner pursuant 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 section. 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 administrative officer of each hospital within 15 days after its adoption. The governing authority 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.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1984

2055

(c) When a patient receives health care from a hospital or physician, 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 subsection, the county of residence of the patient shall be liable for the payment of cost of care of such patient in the hospital or hospitals rendering the emergency services. In such event, the hospital, hospitals, and physicians providing the emergency 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 and physician that amount.
(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 comply with the provisions of this article. No action shall be brought under this article without 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 entitled to judicial review in accordance with Article 1 of Chapter 5 of this title. All civil 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.

When such bill or resolution is placed on the general calendar, the Clerk shall distribute a copy thereof to each member of the House. Whenever any such bill or resolution of general application shall be reported back by the committee to which it was referred with the recommendation that it do pass as amended or that it do pass by substitute, the Clerk shall cause the recommended amendment or substitute to be printed and copies thereof to be distributed to each member. No bill or resolution of general application shall be considered by the House unless copies of the same and any committee amendments or committee substitute shall have been printed and distributed to the members prior to consideration for passage. The House may at any time by a vote of a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, suspend action upon any pending bill or resolution of general application until all amendments, or substitutes, or both offered thereto on the floor shall have been printed and distributed to the members.

Rule 52. A motion to engross a bill or resolution may be made upon reading the bill or resolution the first time, and at no other time. When a motion to engross is made, no debate shall be permitted, except that the movant may speak to his or her motion not longer than five minutes and any one other member of the House may speak in opposition thereto for five minutes. No bill or resolution shall be engrossed except upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, or except by unanimous consent. In case of engrossment of any bill or resolution, the entry thereof shall be made by the Clerk and the bill or resolution shall not be amended or changed in any manner thereafter.
CONSIDERATION OF BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS IN COMMITTEE

All resolutions providing for appointment of committees of inquiry or investigation and any or all other resolutions which are not privileged, except motions for information from the executive department and any other department of the state government, shall be referred by the Speaker to the appropriate committee.
Except as provided in this rule, every privileged resolution shall be referred to a committee. It shall not be necessary, however, to refer to a committee a privileged resolution which commends, congratulates, or extends condolences or which is of a similar nature. The presiding officer shall determine whether a resolution is privileged and shall determine whether it is to be referred to a committee.
Rule 54. No Committee of the Whole House or other committee shall deface or interline a bill, resolution, or other paper referred to the committee but shall report any amendment recommended on a separate paper, noting the section, page, or line to which the amendment relates. No person shall write upon or mark upon the original bill, resolution, or other paper in any manner.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1984

Rule 55. All reports of a committee shall be in writing. The minority of a committee may make a report in writing, setting forth succinctly the reasons for its dissent. Wherever practicable, each committee shall include with its report on each general bill or resolution a brief resume of the bill. If the committee shall so order, the Clerk shall have such report printed and distributed to the members of the House.
Rule 56. In cases where the report of a committee is favorable to the passage of a bill or resolution or the bill or resolution is reported without recommendation, the same shall be passed to a third reading without question. If the report of a committee is adverse to the passage of a bill or resolution, the question shall be on agreeing to the report of the committee. However, House and Senate bills and resolutions adversely reported shall not be taken up except by request of a member of the House. Such request must be made not later than adjournment of the next legislative day following the unfavorable committee report. In such case, the motion to disagree shall be placed on the calendar. If the report of the committee is agreed to, the bill or resolution shall be lost. If the report of the committee is disagreed to, the bill or resolution shall be put on the general calendar unless the bill or resolution is recommitted.
Rule 57. If a bill or resolution has been referred to and reported by more than one committee or has been reported and recommitted to the same committee, the last committee report shall be acted on by the House. In all cases, the report of the Committee of the Whole House shall be first acted on by the House.
Rule 58. Whenever any bill or resolution has been referred to a committee and the committee has held the bill or resolution in its custody or control for ten legislative days without reporting on it, any member of the House shall have the right, immediately after the confirmation of the journal, to serve notice that at the next regular meeting day of the House he or she will submit a motion instructing such committee to report such bill or resolution back to the House. On the next regular meeting day of the House after such notice has been given, any member of the House, immediately after the confirmation of the journal, may move to instruct such committee to report such bill or resolution back to the House. If the motion is passed by two-thirds of those voting, if those voting constitute a quorum, it shall be the duty of such committee to report such bill or resolution accordingly, with or without recommendation, at the next regular meeting day. Upon failure of the committee to report such bill or resolution accordingly, it shall automatically be returned to the House for consideration. Debate on such motion to instruct the committee to report a bill or resolution back to the House shall be limited to 20 minutes unless otherwise ordered by the House. When such bill or resolution is so reported or returned to the House, it may be referred or committed as other bills or resolutions.
Any motion or resolution to set a special order or to change the order of business for any particular day which has been referred to the Committee on Rules may be held in the custody and control of such committee for only three days.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE
Rule 59. All appropriation bills shall be considered in the Committee of the Whole House.
Rule 60. The Speaker may resolve the House into a Committee of the Whole House without a motion being made therefor.
Rule 61. On motion of a member, the House may resolve itself into a Committee of the Whole House by a majority of those voting, provided that the total vote constitutes a quorum, if notice of intention to make such motion has been given during the session of the preceding day. Individual speeches on such motion shall be limited to three minutes. If such notice has not been given, the motion shall prevail if it receives the affirmative votes of two-thirds of those voting, if the two-thirds constitutes a majority of all of the members elected to the House. Whenever the House, either by its own vote or by unanimous consent, commits any bill or resolution to the Committee of the Whole House and, subsequently, a motion is made to resolve the House into a Committee of the Whole House to

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

consider such bill or resolution and such motion is lost, the motion shall not be renewed. It shall be the duty of the Speaker to require the Clerk to read the bill or resolution again at the following day's session under the order of introduction of new matter or reading of bills the first time. The Speaker shall then refer such bill or resolution to the appropriate committee unless otherwise ordered by the House. However, for the consideration of the general appropriations bill, the House may, on motion of a member, resolve itself into a Committee of the Whole by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, and no previous notice shall be necessary.
Rule 62. In forming a Committee of the Whole House, the Speaker shall appoint a chairman to preside in committee and shall leave the chair.
Rule 63. The Committee of the Whole House shall not proceed with the business before it whenever a vote on any question discloses the fact that no quorum of the House is present. Whenever it is suggested that a quorum is not present, the chairman of the committee shall determine such fact by actual count of the committee and shall report the same to the committee. If no quorum is present, the chairman shall, on his or her own motion, order that the committee immediately rise and the chairman shall report the absence of a quorum to the House.

Rule 69. A Committee of the Whole House can not punish disorderly conduct of its members but must report the same to the House for action thereon.
Rule 70. If, at any time in the Committee of the Whole House, it shall be desired to close the debate, or to limit the time allowed members for speaking, the committee may rise and report its desire to the House, and the House shall take such action thereon as it may see fit.

2077

Rule 74. When the Committee of the Whole House has disposed of bills, resolutions, or other measures before it, by motion and question, it shall rise, and the chairman shall be instructed to report the action of the committee to the House. At this point, the Speaker shall resume the chair, and the chairman shall return to the floor and shall state in substance as follows: "Mr. Speaker, the Committee of the Whole House has had under consideration (naming what) and has instructed me, as its chairman, to report the same back to the House, with the recommendation that the same ___________________"("do pass,""do pass as amended," "do pass by substitute," or "do not pass," as the case may be).
The Speaker shall receive this report and repeat the same, and the matter shall then be before the House for action, just as though reported by any other committee.
Rule 75. Amendments offered to an amendment in the Committee of the Whole House shall not be reported to the House, but the report shall contain only the result of the committee's action on the bill, resolution, or measure under its consideration.
Rule 76. Amendments proposed by the Committee of the Whole House may be amended or rejected by the House, and matters stricken out by the committee may be restored by the House.

DEBATE
Rule 78. When any member is about to speak in debate or deliver any matter to the House, such member shall rise from his or her seat and respectfully address himself or herself to "Mr. Speaker." No member shall be recognized by the Speaker unless the member is at his or her designated seat.
Rule 79. A member shall be confined to speaking on the matter in debate and shall not speak more than twice on any subject or more than once until every member choosing to speak shall have spoken.

Any time allowed under Rule 125 shall be in addition to the time provided for in this rule. Any motion to limit or extend the time of individual speeches shall be decided without debate. No such motion shall prevail unless it shall receive the affirmative votes of two-thirds of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum. Such motion may be made at any time that the movant thereof may legitimately obtain the floor.
Rule 81. If any member, in speaking or otherwise, transgresses the rules of the House, the Speaker shall call such member to order, in which case the member shall immediately sit down unless permitted to explain. If appealed to, the House shall decide whether to confirm the Speaker's action. If the transgressor refuses to submit to the decision of the House, the member shall be reprimanded for the first offense or fined in a sum not exceeding $100.00 for the second offense. If the member continues to refuse to abide by the decision of the House such member may be expelled from the House by a two-thirds' vote of the members. Such vote shall be taken by yeas and nays and recorded on the journal of the House.
Rule 82. If any member shall be called to order for words spoken, the words excepted to shall be taken down in writing by the Clerk and read.

Thereupon, the question of order shall be decided and such other proceedings shall be conducted as the House may deem proper in regard thereto. If, at any time, the House is acting under the previous

2078

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

question, such question of order and other proceedings referred to shall not be taken up for decision until after the previous question and the main question have been disposed of or until such future time as may then be ordered by the House.

Rule 83. Except as otherwise stated in these rules, no member shall address the House or a member of the House or interrogate a member who is speaking, except through the Speaker. Should the member speaking decline to be interrupted, the Speaker shall cause the member desiring to interrogate to be silent.
Rule 84. No member shall refer in debate to any private conversation with another member.
Rule 85.

Rule 86. When any subject is before the House for consideration or under debate, no motion shall be received except the following: (1) A motion to adjourn. (2) A motion to lay on the table. (3) A motion for the previous question. (4) A motion to adjourn to a time definite. (5) A motion to indefinitely postpone. (6) A motion to postpone to a day certain or to a time certain if postponed to a later time on the same legislative day. (7) A motion to commit. (8) A motion to amend. (9) A motion to print. Such motions shall have precedence in the order named. After a motion is stated by the Speaker, or read by the Clerk, it shall be deemed to be in the possession of the House, but may by unanimous consent be withdrawn at any time before the decision. Such motions made by any member need not be seconded.
Rule 87. No member may make more than one motion at a time. While the motion is being put to the House, the member making the motion must resume his or her seat, and such member is not further entitled to the floor unless recognized again by the Speaker.
Rule 88. No member who has the floor shall make any motion, the effect of which is to cut off debate, without relinquishing the floor.
COMMITMENT
Rule 89. Motions to commit may be made to refer a bill, resolution, or other measure to a standing or special committee or Committee of the Whole House. On a motion to commit, no debate shall be allowed. A motion to commit may be amended by substituting another committee for the one named by the member making the motion.
Rule 90. A motion to commit to a standing committee takes precedence over a motion to commit to a special committee and shall be first voted on. However, where a motion

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1984

2079

is made that a bill, resolution, or other measure be committed to the Committee of the Whole House, this motion shall be put before either of the above-named motions.
Rule 91. Any proposition that has been referred to any standing or special committee may, on motion, be recommitted to the same or any other committee by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum.
TABLING
Rule 92. A motion to lay on the table may be made after the motion for the previous question has been sustained; but, after the main question has been ordered, no motion to lay on the table is in order.
Rule 93. No motion to lay an amendment on the table shall be in order.
Rule 94. Neither the motion to lay on the table nor the motion to take from the table is debatable or amendable.
Rule 95. A motion to lay on the table or to take from the table may be renewed from time to time when new business has intervened between the votes.
Rule 96. If the motion to lay on the table prevails, it removes the measure from the consideration of the House, together with all the motions attached to it at the time.
When a proposition is taken from the table, it stands before the House in the exact form, with all the motions pertaining to it, as it stood at the time the motion to lay on the table prevailed. The measure and all motions shall remain in numerical order on the general calendar; provided, however, if the measure is tabled during the last 21 days of a session and taken from the table on the same legislative day, it shall remain on that day's rules calendar and shall be treated as any other measure then on the rules calendar.
Rule 97. A majority of a quorum voting is necessary to lay a bill, resolution, or paper on the table. At any time when the House is not engaged on any other measure, a majority of a quorum voting may take from the table any bill, resolution, or paper which has been ordered to lie on the table.
INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT
Rule 98. A motion to indefinitely postpone, if decided in the affirmative by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, thereby disposes of said bill, resolution, or other measure for the session. Only one motion to indefinitely postpone any bill, resolution, or other measure shall be allowed.
Rule 99. While the motion to indefinitely postpone takes precedence over a motion to postpone to a day certain, or to commit, or to amend, a motion to indefinitely postpone cannot be applied to said motions, nor can it be applied to incidental questions, such as questions of order, reading of papers, withdrawal of a motion, and suspension of a rule.
Rule 100. The motion to indefinitely postpone lays open the whole question for debate, but the motion cannot be amended.
POSTPONEMENT
Rule 101. A motion to postpone to a day or time certain cannot be applied to subordinate or incidental questions but only to the whole measure. When the motion prevails, it carries forward the whole proposition and its appendages to the day or time named.
Rule 102. On a motion to postpone a question to a day or time certain, debate on the merits of the question is not in order. Debate and amendments may be allowed, but shall be confined strictly to the proposition to postpone and to show why one day or time is preferred to another. It shall be the duty of the Speaker to hold members rigidly to these points.

2080

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Rule 103. The motion to postpone to a day or time certain may be amended by substituting one day or time for another. In this case, the time would be treated as a blank and the Speaker should treat any such amendment as the Speaker would those to fill a blank.
Rule 104. A motion to postpone to a day known to be beyond the limits of the session shall not be in order.
Rule 105. If the motion to postpone a bill, a resolution, or other measure is decided in the negative, the question is left before the House as it was before the motion was made, and a second motion to postpone cannot be made on the same day.
Rule 106. The motion to postpone a bill, resolution, or other measure to a day or time certain, when decided in the affirmative by a majority of those voting, providing the total vote constitutes a quorum, removes the subject from before the House until the day or time designated.

An amendment is subject to be amended in all three of the ways mentioned above, but it is not permissible to amend an amendment to an amendment, except by unanimous consent.
Rule 108. A substitute shall be treated as an amendment in these rules. However, for the purpose of amending a substitute, a substitute shall not be treated as an amendment.
Rule 109. All motions to amend any matter before the House must be in writing. They must plainly and distinctly set forth the amendment desired and the part or parts of the bill or resolution where the amendment shall be inserted or added.
Rule 110. Any irrelevant motion, irrelevant amendment, or amendment which is not germane to the subject under consideration shall be ruled out of order by the Speaker.
Rule 111. Where blanks occur in any proposition, they must be filled before any motion is made to amend the proposition.
Rule 112. When a bill or resolution is before the House for consideration, and amendments are pending thereto, and a substitute shall be offered for said bill or resolution, and an amendment shall be offered to said substitute, it shall be in order for the House to perfect first the original bill or resolution and then perfect the substitute. The question shall then be on agreeing to the substitute as amended, if it has been amended; and, if decided in the affirmative, the question shall be, "Shall this bill pass by substitute?" or "Shall this resolution be adopted by substitute?" as the case may be." If both a committee substitute and a floor substitute are offered for a bill or resolution, a vote shall be taken on the committee substitute first.
Rule 113. When a motion is made to amend by striking out a part of a bill or resolution, any amendment offered to perfect the part proposed to be stricken shall be put before the question is put for striking it out.
Rule 114. On all questions, whether in committee or in the House, the last amendment, the most distant day, and the largest sum shall be considered first.
Rule 115. After commitment of a bill and report thereof to the House, it may be amended before the report of the committee is agreed to by the House; but the amendments, if any, reported by the committee shall be disposed of before any other amendment is considered unless it is an amendment to a committee amendment.
Rule 116. An amendment cannot be offered after the report of the committee to which the bill or resolution under consideration was referred has been agreed to by the House,

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1984

2081

unless the action of the House in so agreeing to the report of the committee shall first be reconsidered.
Rule 117. When a proposition consisting of several sections or paragraphs is on a final reading and the House agrees to a motion to consider it by sections or paragraphs, the Clerk in reading it shall pause at the end of each section or paragraph. The amendments thereto shall be offered as the several sections or paragraphs are read. However, the amendments offered by the committee to which the bill or resolution was referred shall be read by the Clerk without any motion being made. When a section or paragraph has been adopted, it is not in order to recur and amend the same, unless first reconsidered.
Rule 118. The questions which arise before the House respecting amendments by the Senate to a House bill or resolution are, in order of precedence: (1) A motion to agree to the Senate amendment. (2) A motion to disagree with the Senate amendment. (3) A motion to recede from the House's disagreement or amendment. (4) A motion to insist on the House's disagreement or amendment.
When in the Speaker's opinion a Senate amendment to a House bill is not germane, the Speaker is authorized on the Speaker's own motion or upon a point of order being made to rule out such amendment. The effect of such ruling of the Speaker, if not appealed from or if appealed from and the appeal is not sustained, shall be the same as a vote of the House to disagree, and the Clerk shall so report it to the Senate. Such point of order shall take precedence over a motion to agree.
However, when any question of disagreement with the Senate arises, the following motions shall be in order at any time the movant can legally obtain the floor: 1st. a motion to insist upon the House position and 2nd. a motion to recede from the House position. Debate thereon is limited as in the case of reconsideration. These motions shall be put in the order listed, subject to disposition by the House of any amendments affecting the matter in disagreement.
Rule 119. A motion to amend an amendment made by the Senate to a House bill or resolution takes precedence over a motion to agree or disagree to the amendment.
Rule 120. When any bill or resolution which originated in the House has been amended in the Senate and is before the House for action on the Senate amendment, an amendment may be offered in the House to the Senate amendment; but the House amendment to the Senate amendment cannot be further amended. The amendment offered in the House to the Senate amendment must be agreed to or voted down before the Senate amendment, as amended by such House amendment, may be agreed to or voted down.
Rule 121. A Senate amendment to a House bill or resolution must be adopted by the vote required to pass the bill, resolution, or matter under consideration.
PREVIOUS QUESTION
Rule 122. The previous question may be called and ordered upon a single motion or an amendment, or it may be made to embrace all authorized motions or amendments and include the entire bill.
Rule 123. Any member may call for a division of the question on a subject which, in the opinion of the presiding officer, is one which may be divided. The member calling for a division must state what definite parts and how many parts the member would have the question divided into. Each part of the divided proposition must be so distinct that if taken away the remainder can stand by itself as a consistent and entire unit.
A qualifying paragraph, an exception, or a proviso, if taken from that to which it belongs, would not contain a distinct or entire proposition.
A motion to "strike out and insert" is an indivisible proposition.
Rule 124. The motion for the previous question shall be decided without debate and shall take precedence over all other motions except a motion to adjourn or to lay on the

2082

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

table. Neither of such motions shall be made more than once until after the previous question has been exhausted. When it is moved, the first question shall be, "Shall the motion for the previous question be sustained?" If this is decided by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, and the next question: "Shall the main question be now put?" is decided in the affirmative by a majority of those voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, all other motions, except one to reconsider the action in ordering the main question, will be out of order and the House cannot adjourn until the previous question is exhausted or the regular hour of adjournment arrives.
No motion to reconsider the action of the House in ordering the main question shall be in order after the Clerk has called the first name on call of the yeas and nays and the vote of any member has been given, or the Speaker has ordered the roll-call system to be unlocked for voting, or after a division of the House has been had on the vote and the vote is in process of being counted and announced. In such cases the roll call shall be completed, the vote counted, and the result finally announced.
Rule 125. When the previous question has been ordered, the House shall proceed to act on the main question without debate, except that, before the main question is put, 20 minutes shall be allocated to the chairman of the committee whose report of the bill or other measure is under consideration to close the debate. The chairman may yield the floor to such members as he or she may designate for all or any part of the 20 minutes allowed under this paragraph.
In all cases where a minority committee report has been submitted on the legislation, if the previous question has been ordered, and prior to the time allocated to the chairman, there shall be allocated 20 minutes to the first signer of the minority report to present the minority position. He or she may yield the floor to such members as he or she may designate for all or part of the time allowed under this paragraph.
Rule 126. All incidental questions of order arising after a motion is made for the previous question, and pending such motion, shall be decided without debate, whether on appeal or otherwise.
Rule 127. The effect of the order that the main question be now put is to bring the House to a vote on the pending questions.
Rule 128. After the main question has been ordered, a motion to reconsider this action will, if adopted, have the effect to repeal the ordering of both the main question and the previous question and will leave the pending measure again open to debate and amendment, and the same time limits provided for in Rule 125 shall be applicable. The motion to reconsider the ordering of the main question can be made only once and, if lost or if the main question is again subsequently ordered on the pending measure, no second motion to reconsider the ordering of the main question shall be entertained.
VOTING
Rule 129. If no specific vote is provided in these rules for the passage of any resolution, motion, or measure, which will not become a law, the vote for such passage must be by at least a majority of all members to which the House is entitled, unless enacted by unanimous consent.
Rule 130. No member shall be permitted to cast his or her vote on any motion, resolution, amendment, bill, or other question until the question is put to the House under the rules of the House by the Speaker.
Rule 131. The Speaker's method of stating a question or any motion, after the same has been read to the House by the Clerk, shall be as follows: "All in favor of the motion will say 'Aye.' Those opposed will say 'No.'" When a decision seems doubtful to the Speaker or when a division of the House is called for by any member of the House, the Speaker shall call upon the members in favor of the motion to indicate by a show of hands. After a count is had by the Clerk, the Speaker shall call upon the members to reverse their positions, and the Speaker shall announce the result.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1984

2083

Rule 132. When less than a quorum vote on any subject under consideration by the House, the Speaker may order the doors of the House to be closed and the roll of members called by the Clerk or by the electric roll-call system. If it is ascertained that a quorum is present, either by answering to their names or by their presence in the House, the refusal of any member present to vote, unless excused, shall be deemed a contempt of the House.
Rule 133. After the main question is ordered, any member may call for a division of the House in taking the vote or may call for the yeas and nays. If the call for the yeas and nays is sustained by one-fifth of the members voting, the vote shall be taken by the yeas and nays and so entered on the journal. A motion for the call of the yeas and nays shall be decided without debate.
Rule 134. When the question is put, every member within the chamber shall vote unless the member is immediately and particularly interested therein or unless the member is excused by the House. A motion by a member to be excused from voting must be made before the House divides or before the call of the yeas and nays is commenced, and it shall be decided without debate. The member making the motion may briefly state the reason why it should prevail. In every case where the seat of a member is being contested, the sitting member and the contestant shall both retire from the House before the vote is taken.
Rule 135. No pairing of members shall be recognized or allowed as an excuse for not voting.
Rule 136. No member or person shall vote for another member on any question or proposition. Any violation of this rule may be punished by fine, censure, or other action ordered by the House.
Rule 137. No member shall be permitted to explain his or her vote during a roll call, but such member may reduce his or her explanation to writing in not more than 200 words. If this writing is filed with the Clerk on the same day as the roll call, the writing shall be spread upon the journal.
Rule 138. During the calling or reading of yeas and nays on any question, no debate shall be allowed.
Rule 139. If the taking of yeas and nays is required by the Constitution, by House rule, or by law, the electric roll-call system shall be used, unless the Speaker orders the Clerk to take a viva voce roll call. On all other questions or propositions, the Speaker may, in the Speaker's discretion, order a division of the House, a roll call on the electric roll-call system, or a viva voce roll call.
When the House is ready to vote upon a question and the vote is to be by the electric roll-call system, the Speaker shall state: "The question is on (designating the matter to be voted upon). All in favor of such question shall vote 'Aye,' and all opposed shall vote 'No.'" The Speaker shall then have the voting machine unlocked.
When sufficient time has elapsed for each member to vote, the Speaker shall ask: "Have all members voted?"
The Speaker shall then have the machine locked and announce the results.
Rule 140. After the call of the yeas and nays, the Clerk shall verify how each member voted, and no member shall be permitted to change his or her vote unless the member declares at the time of the verification that he or she voted under a mistake of the question. When the electric roll-call system is used, this rule shall not be applicable.
Verification of a roll-call vote may be dispensed with only by unanimous consent or by a majority of a quorum. When the electric roll-call system is used, no verification of the roll-call vote is required.
Rule 141. Each member shall vote from such member's own seat when the yeas and nays are taken by the electric roll call, and during such a vote no person shall be allowed

2084

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

upon the floor of the House except the members and those persons provided for in these rules.
Rule 142. Whenever on any question the yeas and nays have been ordered, the Clerk shall also enter on the journal the names of those members not voting.
RECONSIDERATION
Rule 143. Motions for reconsideration of a bill or resolution shall be in order immediately before the period for members to rise on points of personal privilege under Rule 37 and the third reading of bills and resolutions on the day succeeding the action sought to be reconsidered and such other days as provided in these rules. Before any action can be reconsidered, notice must have been given to the House of intention to so move during the legislative day during which the action sought to be reconsidered took place. The notice of a motion to reconsider shall not be withdrawn after the time has elapsed within which it might originally have been made. A motion for reconsideration takes a majority of those voting, providing the total vote constitutes a quorum.
When the action sought to be reconsidered occurs on the last legislative day of the week, the motion for reconsideration shall be in order on the following Monday or the next legislative day if the House is not in session. When the action sought to be reconsidered occurs on either of the last three days of the session, the same may be reconsidered only before the transaction of other business. When the action sought to be reconsidered occurs on the last day on which a bill or resolution could be transmitted to the Senate in order to comply with any Senate rule relative to the first reading of House bills and resolutions in the Senate, the same may be reconsidered only before the transaction of other business.
The action of the House upon a House amendment may be reconsidered at any time before final action upon the section, bill, or resolution to which the amendment relates. The action of the House on Senate amendments shall be in order for reconsideration immediately, and not otherwise.
Rule 144. No bill, resolution, or amendment shall be reconsidered more than once.
Rule 145. Any bill or resolution which is reconsidered shall take its place in numerical order on the general calendar and shall include any substitute and all amendments which were a part of such bill or resolution when the action of the House which is being reconsidered was taken.
COMMITTEES OF CONFERENCE
Rule 146. Whenever any member moves that a committee of conference be appointed, on disagreeing votes or other matters of the two houses, and the motion prevails, the Speaker shall appoint three members for the committee who voted in the majority on the position assumed by the House on the passage of the bill or resolution, if such vote has been recorded.
The committee of conference, once appointed, may consider the whole subject matter embraced in a bill, resolution, or other matter before it and may recommend recision by either house, new amendments, new bills and resolutions, or other germane changes.
When a committee of conference has been appointed and has begun meeting, if two Senate members of the committee and two House members of the committee shall decide that the efficiency of the committee is being impeded or that the committee is unable to make sound fiscal recommendations, as a result of public meetings, a report of this decision shall be made by the House conferees to the full House. The full House shall then vote and, if a majority of the members elected to the House vote to adopt the report, the committee of conference shall continue its deliberations in executive session. The committee of conference may establish rules for the conduct of its meetings which are not in conflict with this rule.
A report of a committee of conference must be approved by a majority vote of the entire membership of the committee before the report may be transmitted to either the Senate or the House.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1984

2085

After a committee of conference has been in existence for five days and has failed to make a report to the House on the question under consideration, the House, on motion and by a majority vote of all members elected to the House, may discharge the House conferees and direct the Speaker to appoint another committee of conference. However, during the last five days of the session such motions may be made and passed at any time, but not more often than every three hours.
All reports of committees of conference shall be printed and distributed to the Representatives prior to consideration of the same unless the printing of the same is dispensed with by a majority vote of all members elected to the House.
All reports of committees of conference must be adopted by the vote required to pass the bill, resolution, or matter under consideration.
ENACTMENT
Rule 147. The Speaker may recognize any member at any time for the purpose of asking unanimous consent: (1) to introduce new matter, (2) to recommit a bill or resolution, or (3) to withdraw a bill or resolution from one committee and recommit it to another.
Rule 148. The Speaker shall not recognize any member at any time, except during the first thirty minutes after the confirmation of the journal, for the purpose of asking unanimous consent: (1) to read any bill or resolution the second time or any local bill or resolution or (2) to put any local bill or resolution upon its passage.
The Speaker shall not recognize any member at any time for the purpose of asking unanimous consent to put any general bill or resolution upon its passage or to read such bill or resolution and recommit it.
The Speaker shall not recognize any member at any time for the purpose of asking unanimous consent to cast such member's vote on any motion, resolution, amendment, bill, or other question.
The Speaker shall entertain only one unanimous consent at any one time.
Rule 149. Any bill or resolution may be withdrawn at any time by unanimous consent of the House or by a majority vote of all the members to which the House is entitled.
Rule 150. No bill or resolution shall be transmitted to the Senate on the day of the passage thereof except by unanimous consent or unless two-thirds of the members voting, provided the total vote constitutes a quorum, shall so order. However, any bill or resolution which requires action by the Senate, on the last day the Senate will accept a House bill and during the last three legislative days, shall be immediately transmitted by the Clerk to the Senate after the period for reconsideration has expired.
Rule 151. All Acts and joint resolutions shall be signed by the Speaker and Clerk, and all writs, warrants, and subpoenas issued by order of the House shall be signed by the Speaker and attested by the Clerk.
ADJOURNMENT
Rule 152. The motion to adjourn may be made at any time when the movant can legitimately obtain the floor.
Rule 153. A motion to adjourn may be made after the motion for the previous question has been sustained. However, when the main question has been ordered, no motion to adjourn is in order; nor shall any motion to adjourn be in order after the Clerk has called the first name of the yeas and nays and a vote of one member has been given, or after the Speaker has ordered the roll-call system unlocked for voting, or after a division of the House has been had on a vote and the vote is in process of being counted and announced. In such cases the roll call shall be completed, the vote counted, and the result finally announced before a motion to adjourn shall be in order.
Rule 154. A motion to adjourn is in no instance debatable, nor shall a motion to adjourn be made a second time until further progress has been made in the business before the House. A motion to adjourn in its simple form shall not be amended.

HR 794. By: Representatives Lee of the 72nd, Burruss of the 20th, Connell of the 87th, Ware of the 77th, Walker of the 115th, and others:

A RESOLUTION
Revising and adopting the Rules for the Government of the General Assembly When in Joint Session; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the following rules are adopted as the Rules for the Government of the General Assembly When in Joint Session effective at one minute prior to adjournment sine die of the 1984 regular session of the General Assembly of Georgia:
Rules for the Government of the General Assembly When in Joint Session
1. The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in joint session in the chamber of the House of Representatives as soon as possible after the start of the session, at such time as may be fixed by joint resolution of both houses, for the purpose of electing such officers of the state as may be required to be elected by the General Assembly. Such joint session shall continue in morning and afternoon sessions from day to day until all of such officers are elected.
2. The time of the meeting of the two houses in joint session shall be determined otherwise by concurrent resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives, except where provided by law.
When the Senate and the House of Representatives unite for the purpose of elections, they shall meet in the chamber of the House of Representatives at the hour determined by the concurrent resolution, and the President of the Senate shall preside and declare the result.
3. The President of the Senate shall preside, announce that the General Assembly is in joint session, and cause to be read the resolution convening the same. The President of the Senate shall put all questions to the body and decide all questions of order. An appeal may be taken from any of the President's decisions to the whole General Assembly.
In the absence of the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House shall preside; in the absence of both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate shall preside; in the absence of the three last named, the Speaker Pro Tempore of the House shall preside.
4. A majority of each house shall be necessary to constitute a quorum of the joint session.
5. After a person is nominated for any office in joint session of the General Assembly, it shall not be in order to second such nomination. When the nomination is declared closed, the President shall forthwith order the roll call, and each member, when called, shall rise in his or her seat and respond promptly, announcing distinctly his or her choice for such office.
6. No debate shall be in order, except as to questions of order.
7. The election in joint session shall be by recorded vote, and the vote shall appear on the journal of the House of Representatives. The votes are to be taken for but one election at one time, and a majority of the whole number of members to which the General Assembly is entitled is necessary for a choice.
8. In elections by the General Assembly, no member, after having voted, shall be allowed to change his or her vote unless the member rises and states in his or her place that he or she voted by mistake or that his or her vote has been recorded by mistake.

SR 278. By: Senator Scott of the 43rd:

A RESOLUTION
Creating a Joint Urban County and Municipal Study Committee; and for other purposes.

2098

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, under the provisions of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, counties are granted self-executing authority to provide the full range of municipal type services which historically have been provided by municipal governments in Georgia; and
WHEREAS, because of the population growth and rapid urbanization of our state's metropolitan counties and limitations on the expansion of municipal boundaries, a number of such counties provide municipal services to their unincorporated areas which have, in fact, become municipal in character; and
WHEREAS, the provision of such municipal services by counties has, in some areas of our state, blurred the traditional distinction between cities and counties and has led to conflict, duplication, fragmentation, and disparities in financing the provision of municipal type services; and
WHEREAS, there is a compelling need to study and sort out the roles, functions, relationships, and powers of Georgia's urban counties and of their counterpart municipal governments, and to explore alternative methods of intergovernmental cooperation and organization that may increase and enhance local government efficiency and effectiveness.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Urban County and Municipal Study Committee to be composed of 18 members. Nine members shall be appointed by the President of the Senate, and nine members shall appointed by the Speaker of the House. Of the nine members appointed by the President of the Senate, no more than five shall be members of the Senate, at least two shall be mayors of municipalities, and at least one shall be a chairman of a county board of commissioners. Of the nine members appointed by the Speaker of the House, no more than five shall be members of the House of Representatives, at least two shall be chairmen of county boards of commissioners, and at least one shall be a mayor of a municipality. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House shall each designate a cochairman of the committee at the time of appointing the membership of the committee. The committee shall conduct a comprehensive study of the legal basis, rules, functions, power, and financing of Georgia's urban counties and of the municipal governments located within such counties, and may consider alternative methods of intergovernmental cooperation and organization which would increase and enhance government efficiency and effectiveness. The committee may seek the cooperation and assistance of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government of the University of Georgia in carrying out its duties under this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the legislative members of the committee shall receive the expenses and allowances provided by law for members of legislative interim committees for attending meetings of the committee. Members of the committee who are not members of the General Assembly shall not be compensated or reimbursed for expenses from state funds for service on the committee. The members of the committee shall be authorized to meet for not more than 15 days to carry out their duties under this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee will make a report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and to the General Assembly by not later than the date the General Assembly convenes in regular session in January, 1985, and on that date the committee shall stand abolished.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, because of the population growth and rapid urbanization of our state's metropolitan counties and limitations on the expansion of municipal boundaries, a number of such counties provide municipal services to their unincorporated areas which have, in fact, become municipal in character; and
WHEREAS, the provision of such municipal services by counties has, in some areas of our state, blurred the traditional distinction between cities and counties and has led to conflict, duplication, fragmentation, and disparities in financing the provision of municipal type services; and
WHEREAS, there is a compelling need to study and sort out the roles, functions, relationships, and powers of Georgia's urban counties and of their counterpart municipal governments, and to explore alternative methods of intergovernmental cooperation and organization that may increase and enhance local government efficiency and effectiveness.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Urban County and Municipal Study Committee to be composed of 16 members. Eight members shall be appointed by the President of the Senate, and eight members shall appointed by the Speaker of the House. Of the eight members appointed by the President of the Senate, no more than four shall be members of the Senate, at least two shall be mayors of municipalities, and at least one shall be a chairman of a county board of commissioners. Of the eight members appointed by the Speaker of the House, no more than four shall be members of the House of Representatives, at least two shall be chairmen of county boards of commissioners, and at least one shall be a mayor of a municipality. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House shall each designate a cochairman of the committee at the time of appointing the membership of the committee. The committee shall conduct a comprehensive study of the legal basis, rules, functions, power, and financing of Georgia's urban counties and of the municipal governments located within such counties, and may consider alternative methods of intergovernmental cooperation and organization which would increase and enhance government efficiency and effectiveness. The committee may seek the cooperation and assistance of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government of the University of Georgia in carrying out its duties under this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the legislative members of the committee shall receive the expenses and allowances provided by law for members of legislative interim committees for attending meetings of the committee.

In those cases in which the aforesaid Budget Report contains no recommendation by the Governor of expenditures as to objects, the Director of the Budget, except as to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Government, is authorized to allocate as to object such funds as he deems proper, but he shall not approve any operating budget containing any such allocation until such shall be submitted and approved in the same manner and under the same conditions provided hereinbefore for transfers.

Section 55. Wherever in this Act the term "Budget Unit Object Classes" is used, it shall mean that the object classification following such term shall apply to the total expenditures within the Budget Unit, and shall supersede the object classification shown in the Governor's Budget Report.

Section 56. It is the intent of the General Assembly that for the purposes of this Act, (1) Authorized motor vehicles are defined as sedans, pick-up trucks, vans, station
wagons and any other such vehicles for street and highway use, and (2) The number of authorized motor vehicles indicated for each budget unit shall
include leased vehicles and State-owned vehicles, and (3) The Departments are not authorized to accept vehicles from surplus property to
increase the number authorized in this Act unless specifically approved by this General Assembly.

Section 57. The Office of Planning and Budget is hereby directed to economize wherever possible and in the event any part of the appropriations provided in the foregoing Sections of this Act shall be in excess of the actual approved budget allotments for the fiscal year, the amounts so in excess, as determined by the Office of Planning and Budget, shall cease to be an obligation of the State.

Section 58. It is the intent of this General Assembly that cost-of-living increases effective July 1, 1984 and January 1, 1985 for retirees in the Employees Retirement System and for retirees in the Teachers Retirement System be limited to a maximum of $25.00 per month per retiree. In the event the Governor determines that the cost-of-living increases for retirees in either system cannot legally be so limited, this $25.00 per month limitation shall not apply to either system.

Section 59. TOTAL STATE FUND APPROPRIATIONS
State F.Y. 1985...................................................................................................$ 4,297,000,000.

2192

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, numerous technological innovations have been made in telephone equipment over the past few years, including the development of automatic dialing and recorded message players which can place hundreds of simultaneous telephone calls; and
WHEREAS, there is evidence that these devices and other solicitation practices have been used by certain unscrupulous individuals and organizations to harass the public or to commit deceptive business practices; and
WHEREAS, Virginia has adopted the Virginia Telephone Solicitation Code of Ethics, which represents a comprehensive nonlegislative approach to the problem of controlling unsolicited commercial telephone calls, while 15 states now have laws concerning this issue; and
WHEREAS, a thorough study is needed of all relevant issues concerning unsolicited or harassing telephone calls so that the members of this body may be fully informed on this subject.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created the Telephone Harassment Study Committee to consist of five members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House. The committee shall make a study of telephone solicitations, harassing telephone calls, automatic dialing and recorded message players, the needs of responsible businesses and charitable organizations, and other topics of concern relative to the use of the telecommunications system within the State of Georgia.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the committee shall receive the expenses and allowances provided by law for attending meetings of the committee but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and to the General Assembly by not later than the date the General Assembly convenes in regular session in January, 1985, on which date the committee shall stand abolished.

Creating the Zoning Procedures Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, under the Constitution of 1983 the General Assembly is authorized to provide by general law procedures for the exercise of the zoning power by counties and municipalities; and
WHEREAS, this authority was included in the Constitution so that the General Assembly could assist counties and municipalities by providing certain uniform procedures applicable to the exercise of zoning powers in order to discourage judicial intervention in the zoning process; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall consult with representatives of local governments, planning and zoning professionals, and such other persons or organizations as it deems appropriate to develop a proposed general law implementing the constitutional authority of the General Assembly to provide procedures for the exercise of the zoning power by counties and municipalities.

(c) Where an applicant or licensee has made a false statement of material fact on his application or caused to be submitted or been a party to preparing or submitting any falsified application to the commission, such action may, in itself, be a sufficient ground for the refusal, suspension, or revocation of the license.

In the event a majority of the persons voting in the election vote in favor of the public library, then the governing authority of the municipality or county shall establish a public library as provided in this part. Otherwise, the governing authority shall have no authority to do so. Following the expiration of two years after any election is held which results in disapproval of a public library, as provided in this part, another election on this question shall be held if another petition, as provided in this paragraph, is filed with the appropriate governing authority; or

20-5-48. (a) A clear title in fee simple to an approved site on which a library facility is to be located shall be held by either the library board of trustees or the county or municipality. Title to property used for library purposes shall be vested in the library board of trustees or in that local agency which makes the major financial contribution toward construction costs. Notwithstanding any provision in this part to the contrary, any facility, the title to which currently is held by a nonprofit organization and which is now being operated by a public library board of trustees, may continue to be operated by that library board of trustees if the operation of that facility by the board of trustees meets the standards of the Division of Public Library Services of the Georgia Department of Education; and the title to that facility may remain in the hands of that nonprofit organization. When the composition of a library system is changed or when the library system is dissolved and the title is vested in the library board of trustees, the Division of Public Library Services of the Department of Education shall serve as mediator in determining ownership of property.
(b) Other property including, but not limited to, equipment and materials that was purchased with state, federal, or contract funds coming through the system budget shall be owned by the system board of trustees and shall be placed or transferred where it is most useful.

(1) Failure of the county to maintain the agreed level of support to the regional system as in the most recent system-participating agreement; or
(2) Failure of the county to meet criteria which may jeopardize the system's eligibility for state or federal funds.
(e) If the system's constitution and bylaws or participating agreement fails to describe a notice period for expulsion, the proper notice shall be sent not less than six months prior to the end of the state fiscal year. This notice must be sent to the chairman of the county board of trustees, all funding agencies party to the participating agreement, the system library director, and the Division of Public Library Services of the Department of Education.

20-5-54. Any person who, without authority and with the intention of depriving the public library of the ownership of such property, willfully conceals a book or other public library property, while still on the premises of such public library, or willfully or without authority removes any book or other property from any public library shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, however, that, if the replacement cost of the public public library property is less than $25.00, the punishment shall be a fine of not more than $250.00. Proof of the willful concealment of any book or other public library property while still on the premises of such public library shall be prima-facie evidence of intent to violate this Code section.

20-5-56. All persons holding professional positions with the title of librarian must be certified by the State Board for the Certification of Librarians.

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, except where it appears in Code Section 15-11-1 and in the introductory phrase to Code Section 15-11-2, 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.",

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2253

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 parent is not thereafter entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the child 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 general 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.",

2254

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and inserting in their place new Code Sections 15-11-51 through 15-11-54 to read as follows:
"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 Article 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 manifestly unfit because the conduct or condition of the parent is such as to render the parent unable or unwilling to care properly for the child; such conduct or condition is unlikely to change or is likely to recur in the forseeable future; and, by reason thereof, the child has suffered, is suffering, or is likely to suffer serious physical, mental, moral, or emotional harm.
(A) In determining unfitness of a parent under this paragraph, the court shall consider, without being limited to, the following:
(i) Emotional illness, mental illness, mental retardation, or mental 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) Egregious conduct toward a child of a physically, emotionally, or sexually cruel or abusive nature;
(iii) Excessive use of or history of chronic unrehabilitated abuse of intoxicating liquors, narcotic or dangerous drugs, marijuana, or controlled substances;
(iv) Physical, mental, or emotional neglect of the child; (v) Conviction of a felony and imprisonment therefor which has a demonstrable negative effect on the quality of the parent-child relationship; and (vi) Unexplained injury or death of a sibling under circumstances where the parent should have known the cause of the injury or death. (B) In addition to the considerations in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, where a child is not in the physical custody of the parent, in determining unfitness of a parent under this paragraph, the court shall consider, without being limited to, the following, where the parent without justifiable cause fails to: (i) Provide care or to pay a reasonable portion of substitute physical care and maintenance where custody is lodged with others; (ii) Maintain regular visitation or other contact with the child as designed in a court approved plan to reunite the child with the parent; (iii) Maintain consistent contact, communication, or both with the child; and

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2255

(iv) Adjust his circumstances, 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 interest 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.
(d) The petition shall state clearly that an order for termination of parental rights is requested and that the effect thereof will be as stated in Code Section 15-11-80, and shall set forth in ordinary and concise language the facts required by Code Section 15-11-25.
15-11-83. (a) Upon filing of the petition, summons shall be issued forthwith on the child's parents, guardian, lawful custodian, and person presently having physical custody of the child.
(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 the child's parents, guardian, lawful custodian, and person presently having physical custody of the child. All summons shall contain a statement to the effect that the hearing is for the purpose of terminating parental rights.
(c) The summons shall require the person who has physical custody of the child to appear personally and to bring the child before the court at the time and place stated in the summons. Where, at the court's discretion, it is deemed in the interest of the child that the child need not be brought before the court, the court may so indicate. The summons shall be served at least 30 days before the time set for the hearing and a copy of the petition shall be served together with the summons and shall be made in the manner provided in Code Section 9-11-4, relating to service in civil practice.
(d) 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 article. 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. If the identity of the putative father is unknown, the court may require the mother to execute an affidavit 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 proceedings 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

2256

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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 identification 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 legitimate 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, consent, 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 rule nisi against such person, directing that that person appear before the court to show cause why such person should not be held
in contempt of 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 shall appoint an attorney to represent the child as his counsel and may appoint a separate guardian ad litem or 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. 15-11-87. The court may require a physical or mental evaluation of any parent, step-
parent, guardian, or child involved in a proceeding under this article. 15-11-88. The record of the testimony of the parties adduced in any proceeding under
this article shall not be admissible in any civil, criminal, or any other cause or proceed-
ings in any court against a person named as respondent for any purpose whatsoever, except in subsequent deprivation or termination proceedings involving the same child or
deprivation or termination proceedings involving the same respondent under this article. 15-11-89. The court shall conduct hearings, where appropriate, in accordance with
Code Section 15-11-29. 15-11-90. (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 make any of the follow-
ing dispositions: 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.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2257

(c) If a petition seeking the adoption of the child is not filed within one year after the date of the disposition order, the court shall then, and at least yearly thereafter as long as the child remains unadopted, review the circumstances of the child to determine what efforts have been made to assure that the child will be adopted. The court may then enter such orders as it deems necessary to further the adoption, including but not limited to another placement.
15-11-91. In a proceeding under this article, the provisions of Article 1 of this chapter shall apply unless in conflict with this article."
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE REPORT ON HB 1150

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL
To amend Article 3 of Chapter 4 of Title 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to local authorization and regulation of distilled spirits, so as to limit the number of retail dealer licenses which may be issued by the governing authority of any political subdivision; to provide for exceptions; to provide that local governments may continue to further restrict the number of licenses; to provide for the transfer of certain licenses; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide for purposes and policies; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 3 of Chapter 4 of Title 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to local authorization and regulation of distilled spirits, is amended by designating the current Code sections as Part 1 and by adding at the end thereof, immediately following Code Section 3-4-50, a new Part 2 to read as follows:
"Part 2
3-4-51. (a) (1) (A) The number of retail dealer licenses which may be issued by the governing authority of any county in which the retail sale of distilled spirits is authorized shall be limited to a maximum of one license per 3,000 persons, or major fraction thereof, who reside within the unincorporated area of the county. (B) The number of retail dealer licenses which may be issued by the governing authority of any municipality in which the retail sale of distilled spirits is authorized shall be limited to a maximum of one license per 3,000 persons, or major fraction thereof, who reside within the municipality. (2) Population figures shall be based on the population of the political subdivision
as shown in the most recent official United States decennial census or as shown by satisfactory evidence presented by the applicant which evidence demonstrates to the governing authority that such census does not reflect the actual population of the political subdivision.
(3) Notwithstanding the population of the unincorporated area of any county or of any municipality, the unincorporated area of each county and each municipality in which the retail sale of distilled spirits is authorized shall be authorized to issue two retail dealer licenses.
(4) Nothing in this part shall be deemed or construed as prohibiting counties or municipalities from further limiting, based on population, the number of retail dealer licenses which shall be issued by such political subdivision. (b) (1) The limitation upon the number of retail dealer licenses to be issued as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to licenses issued prior to July 1, 1984, or to the renewal or transfer thereof. The limitation upon the number of retail dealer licenses to be issued as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to licenses issued after July 1, 1984, or to the renewal or transfer thereof, if, at the time the license was initially issued, such initial issue was in accordance with the limitations provided in subsection (a) of this Code section.
(2) Upon the revocation of any license, no renewal thereof or new license therefor shall be issued contrary to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Code section. (c) When additional retail dealer licenses become available by reason of an increase in population or by reason of a county or municipality initially permitting the sale of distilled spirits, no current retail dealer licensee or any person who has held a direct or indirect interest in a retail dealer license during the immediately preceding 12 months shall be entitled to apply for and receive more than one such newly available license in any political subdivision. (d) A retail dealer licensee shall be entitled to apply for a renewal of an annual license from year to year. If the retail dealer licensee complies with requirements adopted by the governing authority of the licensing political subdivision and pays the annual license fee, the governing authority shall grant a renewal of the annual license. Such license may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 3-4-52.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2261

3-4-52. (a) (1) In cases where a retail licensee moves his package sales business from one location in the unincorporated area of a county to another location in the unincorporated area of such county, he shall be authorized to apply to the appropriate licensing authority to have the license for the location previously occupied apply to the new location. If the retail licensee complies with all requirements of state laws or local ordinances and pays a transfer fee not to exceed $100.00, the governing authority of the county shall authorize the existing license to apply to the new location.
(2) In cases where a retail licensee moves his package sales business from one location in a municipality to another location within such municipality, he shall be authorized to apply to the appropriate licensing authority to have the license for the location previously occupied apply to the new location. If the retail licensee complies with all requirements of state laws or local ordinances and pays a transfer fee not to exceed $100.00, the governing authority of the municipality shall authorize the existing license to apply to the new location. (b) In cases where a retail licensee has made a bona fide sale of the retail dealer licensed establishment, he may make application for a transfer of such license to the purchaser of said retail dealer licensed establishment. If the transferee is otherwise qualified to hold a retail dealer license under state law and local ordinances and otherwise meets all the qualifications and requirements imposed on individuals making an initial application for a retail dealer license, the governing authority of the political subdivision shall transfer the license to the purchaser. The governing authority may charge a transfer fee not to exceed the annual retail dealer license fee levied by the governing authority. (c) If a retail dealer license is transferred under the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section, the licensee may make application to the state for a like transfer of the corresponding state license. The state may issue a state retail dealers license provided all the qualifications and requirements imposed for such license are met and payment of all license and investigation fees are paid. 3-4-53. The General Assembly declares that this part is enacted pursuant to the authority granted to the state under the provisions of the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution and specifically for the following purposes and policies:
(1) To prohibit illegal or unfair business practices and to seek retardation of sales abuse practices, especially to minors;
(2) To foster greater control of enforcement through the process of license limitation;
(3) To provide for equality and an orderly three-tier system for the distribution and retail sale of package distilled spirits in the State of Georgia;
(4) To promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the people of the State of Georgia; and
(5) To provide for a retail distilled spirits system that will facilitate the accountability by retail dealers of state laws and regulations."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1984.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

(b) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, in facilitation of a purchase of assets and assumption of liabilities as described in subsection (a) of this Code section, all or any part of the assets may be sold to the deposit insurer for the financial institution in liquidation notwithstanding such insurer's capacity as receiver or deputy receiver of the financial institution. Such insurer as receiver or deputy receiver may also borrow from itself in its corporate capacity any amounts necessary to facilitate the assumption of deposit liabilities by an existing financial institution or a newly chartered financial institution, assigning any part or all of the assets of the closed bank as security for such loan."
Section 5. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 7-1-491, relating to financing involving directors or officers, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:

2316

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(d) When the board finds that any person is unqualified to be granted a license or finds that any person should be disciplined pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section or the laws, rules, or regulations relating to a specialty, the board may take any one or more of the following actions:
(1) Refuse to grant or renew a license to an applicant; (2) Administer a public or private reprimand, but a private reprimand shall not be disclosed to any person except the licensee; (3) Suspend any license for a definite period or for an indefinite period in connection with any condition which may be attached to the restoration of said license; (4) Limit or restrict any license as the board deems necessary for the protection of the public; (5) Revoke any license;
(6) Condition the penalty upon, or withhold formal disposition pending, the applicant's or licensee's submission to such care, counseling, or treatment as the board may direct; or
(7) Impose a fine not to exceed $500.00 for each violation of a law, rule, or regulation relating to the specialty.
(e) In addition to and in conjunction with the actions described in subsection (d) of this Code section, the board may make a finding adverse to the licensee or applicant but withhold imposition of judgment and penalty; or it may impose the judgment and penalty but suspend enforcement thereof and place the licensee on probation, which probation may be vacated upon noncompliance with such reasonable terms as the board
may impose. (f) Initial judicial review of a final decision of the board shall be had solely in the
superior court of the county of domicile of the board. (g) In its discretion, the board may reinstate a license which has been revoked or
issue a license which has been denied or refused, following such procedures as the board may prescribe by rule; and, as a condition thereof, it may impose any disciplinary or cor-
rective method provided in this Code section. (h) (1) The joint-secretary of the state examining boards is vested with the power and authority to make, or cause to be made through employees or agents of the board,
such investigations as he or the board may deem necessary or proper for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter. Any person properly conducting an investigation on behalf of the board shall have access to and may examine any writing,
document, or other material relating to the fitness of any licensee or applicant. The joint-secretary or his appointed representative may issue subpoenas to compel such
access upon a determination that reasonable grounds exist for the belief that a violation of this chapter may have taken place.
(2) The results of all investigations initiated by the board shall be reported solely to the board, and the records of such investigations shall be kept for the board by the joint-secretary, with the board retaining the right to have access at any time to
such records. No part of any such records shall be released, except to the board, for any purpose other than a hearing before the board, nor shall such records be subject
to subpoena; provided, however, that the board shall be authorized to release such records to another enforcement agency or lawful licensing authority.
(3) If a licensee is the subject of a board inquiry, all records relating to any person
who receives services rendered by that licensee in his capacity as licensee shall be admissible at any hearing held to determine whether a violation of this chapter has taken place, regardless of any statutory privilege; provided, however, that any docu-
mentary evidence relating to a person who received those services shall be reviewed in camera and shall not be disclosed to the public.
(4) The board shall have the authority to exclude all persons during its delibera-
tions on disciplinary proceedings and to discuss any disciplinary matter in private with a licensee or applicant and the legal counsel of that licensee or applicant, (i) A person, firm, corporation, association, authority, or other entity shall be
immune from civil and criminal liability for reporting or investigating the acts or omissions of a licensee or applicant which violate the provisions of this chapter or for initiat-
ing or conducting proceedings against such licensee or applicant, if such report is made

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

or action is taken in good faith, without fraud or malice. Any person who testifies or who makes a recommendation to the board in the nature of peer review, in good faith, without fraud or malice, before the board in any proceeding involving the provisions of subsection (a) of this Code section shall be immune from civil and criminal liability for so testifying.
(j) Neither the issuance of a private reprimand nor the denial of a license by reciprocity nor the denial of a request for reinstatement of a revoked license nor the refusal to issue a previously denied license shall be considered to be a contested case within the meaning of Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'; notice and hearing within the meaning of said Act shall not be required, but the applicant or licensee shall be allowed to appear before the board if he so requests.
(k) If any licensee or applicant after reasonable notice fails to appear at any hearing of the board, the board may proceed to hear the evidence against such licensee or applicant and take action as if such licensee or applicant had been present. A notice of hearing, initial or recommended decision, or final decision of the board in a disciplinary proceeding shall be served upon the licensee or applicant by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of record with the board. If such material is returned marked 'unclaimed' or 'refused' or is otherwise undeliverable and if the licensee or applicant cannot, after diligent effort, be located, the joint-secretary shall be deemed to be the agent for service for such licensee or applicant for purposes of this Code section, and service upon the joint-secretary shall be deemed to be service upon the licensee or applicant.
(1) The voluntary surrender of a license or the failure to renew a license by the end of an established penalty period shall have the same effect as a revocation of said license, subject to reinstatement in the discretion of the board. The board may restore and reissue a license to practice a specialty and, as a condition thereof, may impose any disciplinary sanction provided by this Code section.
(m) This Code section shall apply equally to all licensees or applicants whether individuals, partners, or members of any other incorporated or unincorporated associations, corporations, or other associations of any kind whatsoever.
(n) Regulation by the board of a specialty shall not exempt licensees under this chapter from regulation pursuant to any other applicable law, including but not limited to Part 2 of Article 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 10, the 'Fair Business Practices Act of 1975.'
43-7A-18. Whenever it shall appear to the board that any person is or has been violating any provisions of this chapter or any of the lawful rules, regulations, or orders of the board, the board, the joint-secretary, or the appropriate district attorney may file a petition for injunction in the proper superior court of this state against such person
for the purpose of enjoining any such violation. It shall not be necessary to allege or
prove that there is no adequate remedy at law. The right of injunction provided for in
this Code section shall be in addition to any other legal remedy available, including but
not limited to any right of criminal prosecution provided by law.
43-7A-19. It shall be unlawful for a person to obtain or attempt to obtain a license
under this chapter by fraudulent representation.
43-7A-20. Any person violating Code Section 43-7A-19 or Code Section 43-7A-7 shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine
of not less than $100.00 nor more than $1,000.00 for each offense and, in addition, may
be imprisoned for a term not to exceed 12 months.
43-7A-21. (a) No corporation, partnership, association, or other business entity
may use in its corporate, partnership, association, or business name any term or title
restricted under subsection (a) of Code Section 43-7A-7 or the term 'professional coun-
seling,' 'social work,' or 'marriage and family therapy,' or any words, letters, titles, or fig-
ures indicating or implying that such entity or any of its employees, officers, or agents
are practicing a specialty regulated under this Act, unless each person practicing a spe-
cialty in that entity, except those persons exempt under paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (9)
of subsection (b) of Code Section 43-7A-7, is licensed under this chapter.
(b) Any corporation, partnership, association, or other business entity which violates
subsection (a) of this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon convic-
tion thereof, shall be punished by a fine not less than $500.00 nor more than $1,000.00
for each offense.

short title; to provide for definitions; to provide for interpretation and rules of construction; to provide for the creation, existence, operation, rights, obligations, powers, duties, property, agents, liabilities, books, records, practices, procedures, terms, interests, dissolution, termination, and winding up of partnerships, partners, purported partners, and agents thereof; to provide for actions; to provide for distributions; to provide for other matters relative to partnerships; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 14 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to corporations, partnerships, and associations, is amended by striking Chapter 8, relating to partnerships generally, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Chapter 8 to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 8
14-8-1. This chapter may be cited as the 'Uniform Partnership Act.' 14-8-2. As used in this chapter, the term:
(1) 'Bankrupt' means a person who is the subject of: (A) The entry of an order for relief under Section 303(h) of the Bankruptcy
Code (11 U.S.C. Section 303(h)) or the filing of a petition for voluntary bankruptcy under Section 301 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 301) as these provisions may be now or hereafter amended; or
(B) An equivalent order or petition under any successor statute or code of general application; or
(C) An equivalent order or petition under any state insolvency Act. (2) 'Business' includes every trade, occupation, or profession. (3) 'Conveyance' includes every assignment, deed, transfer, lease (including the creation of a usufruct), mortgage or pledge of tangible, intangible or real property, and also the creation or cancellation of any lien, encumbrance, or security title. (4) 'Court' includes every court and judge having jurisdiction in the case. (5) 'Interest' means interest at the legal rate which applies where the rate percent is not named in the contract as provided by Code Section 7-4-2 or any successor statute. (6) 'Person' includes a natural person, partnership, limited partnership (domestic or foreign), trust, estate, association or corporation. Any person may be a partner unless the person lacks capacity apart from this chapter. (7) 'Real property' includes any estate or interest, including usufructory interests, in, over or under land, including minerals, structures, fixtures and other things which by custom, usage, or law pass with a conveyance of land though not described or mentioned in an instrument of conveyance or in a contract to make such a conveyance. 14-8-3. (a) A person has 'knowledge' of a fact within the meaning of this chapter not only when such person has actual knowledge thereof, but also when he has knowledge of such other facts as in the circumstances shows bad faith. (b) A person has 'notice' of a fact within the meaning of this chapter when the person who claims the benefit of the notice: (1) States the fact to such person; or (2) Delivers through the mail, or by other means of communication, a written statement of the fact to such person or to a proper person at his place of business or residence. 14-8-4. (a) The rule that statutes in derogation of the common law are to be strictly construed shall have no application to this chapter. (b) The law of estoppel shall apply under this chapter. (c) The law of agency shall apply under this chapter. (d) This chapter shall be so interpreted and construed as to effect its general purpose to make uniform the law of those states which enact it. (e) This chapter shall not be construed so as to impair the obligations of any contract existing when this chapter goes into effect, nor to affect any action or proceedings begun or right accrued before this chapter takes effect.

2324

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(f) This chapter being a general act intended as a unified coverage of its subject matter, no part of it shall be deemed to be impliedly repealed by subsequent legislation if that construction can reasonably be avoided.
(g) The validity of an instrument executed on behalf of the partnership by a partner shall not be affected by the formality with which the partnership contract was executed.
14-8-5. In any case not provided for in this chapter, the other provisions of this Code and the rules of common law and equity shall govern.
14-8-6. (a) A partnership is an association of two or more persons to carry on as co-owners a business for profit.
(b) But any association formed under any other statute of this state, or any statute adopted by authority, other than the authority of this state, is not a partnership under this chapter, unless such association would have been a partnership in this state prior to the adoption of this chapter; but this chapter shall apply to limited partnerships except insofar as the statutes relating to such partnerships are inconsistent with this chapter.
14-8-7. In determining whether a partnership exists, the following rules shall apply: (1) Except as provided by Code Section 14-8-16 persons who are not partners as
to each other are not partners as to third persons; (2) Joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entireties, joint property,
common property, or part ownership does not of itself establish a partnership, whether such co-owners do or do not share any profits made by the use of the property;
(3) The sharing of gross returns does not of itself establish a partnership, whether or not the persons sharing them have a joint or common right or interest in any property from which the returns are derived;
(4) The receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that he is a partner in the business; provided, however, that no such inference shall be drawn if profits were received in payment of the following, even though the amount of payment varies with the profits of the business:
(A) A debt, whether by installments or otherwise; (B) Wages, salary, or other compensation to an employee or independent contractor; (C) Rent to a landlord; (D) An annuity or other payment to a surviving spouse or representative of a deceased partner; (E) Interest or other payment or charge on a loan; (F) Consideration for the sale of good will of a business or other property, whether by installments or otherwise. 14-8-8. (a) Subject to subsection (d) of this Code section, property, whether real or personal, is presumed to be partnership property where:
(1) It is included as such in the agreement of partnership or described in any recorded statement of partnership under Code Section 14-8-10A; or
(2) It is acquired in the partnership name.
(b) Subject to subsection (d) of this Code section, property is presumed to be partnership property if it is purchased with partnership funds even though the title or other interest is acquired in the name of an individual partner or partners.
(c) Subject to paragraph (1) of subsection (a) and subsection (d) of this Code section, where property is acquired in the name of an individual partner or partners without use of partnership funds the property shall be presumed to be the separate property of that individual partner or partners even though the property was used for partnership purposes.
(d) Real property and other property held of public record otherwise than in the partnership name, the ownership of which is customarily publicly recorded, shall not be deemed to be partnership property to the prejudice of a person who is not a partner and who did not have actual knowledge to the contrary.
(e) Where property was partnership property under a predecessor partnership, the business of which was continued under a new or reconstituted partnership, the presumption of subsection (c) of this Code section shall not be applicable and whether such

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2325

property is to be considered partnership property of the new partnership or the separate property of the surviving members of the predecessor partnership shall be determined on the basis of the intention of the parties.
(f) Any estate in real property may be acquired in the partnership name and title to any estate so acquired shall vest in the partnership itself rather than in the partners individually. Title may be conveyed in accordance with Code Section 14-8-10.
(g) A conveyance to a partnership in the partnership name, though without words of inheritance, passes the entire estate of the grantor unless a contrary intent appears.
14-8-9. Subject to the provisions of Code Section 14-8-10A: (1) Every partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business,
and the act of every partner, including the execution in the partnership name of any instrument, for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business of the partnership of which he is a member binds the partnership, unless the partner so acting has in fact no authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter, and the person with whom he is dealing has knowledge of the fact that he has no such authority;
(2) An act of a partner which is not apparently for the carrying on of the business of the partnership in the usual way does not bind the partnership unless authorized by the other partners in the partnership agreement, at the time of the transaction or at any other time;
(3) Unless authorized by the other partners or unless they have abandoned the business, one or more but less than all the partners have no authority to:
(A) Assign the partnership property in trust for creditors or on the assignee's promise to pay the debts of the partnership;
(B) Dispose of the good-will of the business; (C) Do any other act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of a partnership; (D) Confess a judgment; (E) Submit a partnership claim or liability to arbitration or reference;
(4) No act of a partner in contravention of a restriction on authority shall bind the partnership to persons having knowledge of the restriction.
14-8-10. (a) Where title to real property is in the partnership name, any partner may convey title to such property by a conveyance executed in the partnership name; but the partnership may recover such property if the partnership proves that the partner's act did not bind the partnership under the provisions of Code Section 14-8-9, unless such property has been conveyed by the grantee or a person claiming through such grantee to a holder for value without knowledge that the partner, in making the conveyance, has exceeded his authority.
(b) Where title to real property is in the name of one or more but not all the partners, and the record does not disclose the right of the partnership, the partners in whose name the title stands may convey title to such property, but the partnership may recover such property if the partnership proves that the partners' act did not bind the partnership under the provisions of Code Section 14-8-9, unless the purchaser or his assignee is a holder for value without knowledge.
(c) Where title to real property is in the name of one or more or all the partners, or in a third person in trust for the partnership, a conveyance executed by a partner in the partnership name, or in his own name, passes the equitable interest of the partnership unless the partnership proves that the act was not one within the authority of the partner under the provisions of Code Section 14-8-9.
(d) Where the title to real property is in the names of all the partners a conveyance executed by all the partners passes all their rights in such property.
14-8-10A. (a) A statement of partnership in the name of the partnership, signed by all of the partners or by any partner who is authorized in the partnership agreement to do so on behalf of the partnership, and witnessed and notarized, may be recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court of any county and shall be recorded by such clerk in a book to be kept for that purpose and open to public inspection. If the partnership shall desire to file such a statement in more than one county, a transcript of the statement, duly certified by the clerk in whose office it was originally filed, under such

2326

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

clerk's official seal, shall be filed and recorded in like manner in the office of the clerk of the superior court in every such county. As a prerequisite to such filing, the clerk of each such registry may collect a fee in the amount of the fee then allowed for the filing of certificates of limited partnerships.
(b) A statement of partnership shall state: (1) The name of the partnership; (2) The location of the principal place of business of the partnership, if any; (3) The names and places of residence of all of the partners; (4) The term for which the partnership is to exist, or that it is to exist until termi-
nated by law or according to its provisions; (5) Any limitations on the authority of one or more partners to act on behalf of
the other partners or the partnership, beyond that authority defined in this chapter, which the partnership desires to disclose;
(6) Any authority beyond that defined in this chapter on the part of one or more partners to act on behalf of the other partners or the partnership which the partnership desires to disclose;
(7) Any property (including real property) belonging to the partnership, even if not titled in the name of the partnership, which the partnership desires to disclose; provided that, with respect to real property, the statement shall specifically refer by both book and page to the place wherein the instrument last conveying such real property is recorded and all clerks of the superior courts filing such statement shall make appropriate cross-references in the appropriate indices between such statement and such instrument. Title to all real property so described and cross-referenced shall be deemed to be held in the partnership name from the date of the filing of such statement without the necessity for any separate instrument of conveyance;
(8) If the partnership or the partnership business has been continued despite the death or withdrawal of any partner by reason of an agreement provided for in Code Section 14-8-31 or 14-8-38, the statement or any amendment thereto may state the name and date of death or withdrawal of such deceased or withdrawing (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, according to the terms of the agreement) partner and that the partnership or the partnership business was continued despite such death or withdrawal because of the existence of such agreement. (c) A statement of partnership may state such other matters as the partnership may desire to disclose. (d) The information referred to in subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section may be provided in whole or in part by recording a partnership agreement as the statement of partnership.
(e) A statement of partnership may be amended at any time and for any proper purpose the partners may determine by instrument executed and recorded in the same manner as such statement. Such instrument shall set forth:
(1) The name of the partnership;
(2) The date or dates of filing of the statement of partnership and any prior amendments thereto;
(3) The place or places (by reference to book and page) wherein the statement of partnership and any prior amendments thereto are recorded; and
(4) The amendment to the statement of partnership.
(f) It shall be conclusively presumed against the partnership that the persons named as partners in a statement of partnership are members of the partnership named, that they are all of the members of the partnership, that the partners have the authority disclosed by this statement, that there are no limitations on this authority beyond those contained in this chapter other than those disclosed in this statement, that any partner stated to be dead is deceased, that any partner stated to have withdrawn has withdrawn from the partnership and that the partnership was not dissolved by reason of such death or withdrawal, unless there is recorded by anyone claiming to be a partner, or a personal representative, whether executor, administrator, guardian, or conservator, of such partner, a statement of partnership, verified and acknowledged by the person executing it, which shall set forth the name of the partnership, a statement that such person claims

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2327

to be a member of such partnership, or a personal representative of such member, or a statement that any of the persons named in a previously recorded statement of partnership are not members of such partnership, or a statement that any of the other facts stated in a previously recorded statement of partnership are not true.
(g) The existence of the facts described in subsection (f) of this Code section shall be conclusively presumed in favor of the partnership and against a grantee from the partnership of partnership real property located in a county in which a statement of partnership or a certified copy thereof has been recorded. It shall also be conclusively presumed in favor of the partnership and against such a grantee that a partner's authority to act for the partnership is limited as provided in a statement of partnership.
14-8-11. An admission or representation made by any partner concerning partnership affairs within the scope of his authority is evidence against the partnership.
14-8-12. Notice to any partner of any matter relating to partnership affairs, and the knowledge of the partner acting in the particular matter, acquired while a partner or then present to his mind, and the knowledge of any other partner who reasonably could and should have communicated it to the acting partner operate as notice to or knowledge of the partnership, except in the case of a fraud on the partnership committed by
or with the consent of that partner. 14-8-13. Where, by any wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the ordi-
nary course of the business of the partnership or with the authority of his copartners,
loss or injury is caused to any person, not being a partner in the partnership, or any penalty is incurred, the partnership is liable therefor to the same extent as the partner
so acting or omitting to act. 14-8-14. The partnership is bound to make good the loss: (1) Where one partner acting within the scope of his apparent authority receives
money or property of a third person and misapplies it; and (2) Where the partnership in the course of its business receives money or property
of a third person and the money or property so received is misapplied by any partner while it is in the custody of the partnership. 14-8-15. All partners are jointly and severally liable for all debts and obligations of
the partnership. 14-8-16. (a) When a person, by words spoken or written or by conduct, represents
himself, or consents to another representing him to any one, as a partner in an existing partnership or with one or more persons not actual partners, he is liable to any such person to whom such representation has been made, who has, on the faith of such repre-
sentation, given credit to the actual or apparent partnership, and if he has made such representation or consented to its being made in a public manner he is liable to such person, whether the representation has or has not been made or communicated to such
person so giving credit by or with the knowledge of the apparent partner making the representation or consenting to its being made.
(1) When a partnership liability results, he is liable as though he were an actual member of the partnership.
(2) When no partnership liability results, he is liable jointly with the other per-
sons, if any, so consenting to the contract or representation as to incur liability, other-
wise separately. (b) When a person has been thus represented to be a partner in an existing partner-
ship, or with one or more persons not actual partners, he is an agent of the persons consenting to such representation to bind them to the same extent and in the same manner
as though he were a partner in fact, with respect to persons who rely upon the representation. Where all the members of the existing partnership consent to the representation, a partnership act or obligation results; but in all other cases it is the joint act or obliga-
tion of the person acting and the persons consenting to the representation. 14-8-17. A person admitted as a partner into an existing partnership is liable for all
the obligations of the partnership arising before his admission as though he had been a partner when such obligations were incurred, except that this liability shall be satisfied
only out of partnership property. 14-8-18. The rights and duties of the partners in relation to the partnership shall be
determined, subject to any agreement between them, by the following rules:

2328

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(1) Each partner shall be repaid his contributions, whether by way of capital or advances to the partnership property and share equally in the profits and surplus remaining after all liabilities, including those to partners, are satisfied; and must contribute towards the losses, whether of capital or otherwise, sustained by the partnership according to his share in the profits;
(2) The partnership must indemnify every partner in respect of payments made and personal liabilities reasonably incurred by him in the ordinary and proper conduct of its business, or for the preservation of its business or property;
(3) A partner, who in aid of the partnership makes any payment or advance beyond the amount of capital which he agreed to contribute, shall be paid interest from the date of the payment or advance;
(4) A partner shall receive interest on the capital contributed by him only from the date when repayment should be made;
(5) All partners have equal rights in the management and conduct of the partnership business;
(6) No partner is entitled to remuneration for acting in the partnership business, except that a surviving partner is entitled to reasonable compensation for his services in winding up the partnership affairs;
(7) No person can become a member of a partnership without the consent of all the partners;
(8) Any difference arising as to ordinary matters connected with the partnership business may be decided by a majority of the partners; but no act in contravention of any agreement between the partners may be done rightfully without the consent of all the partners. 14-8-19. The partnership books shall be kept, subject to any agreement between the partners, at the principal place of business of the partnership, and every partner shall at all times have access to and may inspect and copy any of them. 14-8-20. Partners shall render, to the extent the circumstances render it just and reasonable, true and full information of all things affecting the partners to any partner and to the legal representative of any deceased partner or of any partner under legal disability. 14-8-21. (a) Every partner must account to the partnership for any benefit, and hold as trustee for it any profits derived by him without the consent of the other partners from any transaction connected with the formation, conduct, or liquidation of the partnership or from any use by him of its property. (b) This Code section applies also to the representatives of a deceased partner engaged in the liquidation of the affairs of the partnership as the personal representatives of the last surviving partner. 14-8-22. In addition to the remedies or methods of dispute resolution provided for in the partnership agreement, any partner shall have the right to a formal accounting as to partnership affairs:
(1) If he is wrongfully excluded from the partnership business or possession of its property by his copartners;
(2) If the right exists under the terms of any agreement; (3) If the right exists under Code Section 14-8-21; or (4) Whenever other circumstances render it just and reasonable. 14-8-23. (a) When a partnership for a fixed term or particular undertaking is continued after the termination of such term or particular undertaking without any express agreement, the rights and duties of the partners remain the same as they were at such termination, so far as is consistent with a partnership at will.
(b) A continuation of the business by the partners or such of them as habitually acted therein during the term, without any settlement or liquidation of the partnership affairs, is prima facie evidence of a continuation of the partnership.
14-8-24. The property rights of a partner are:
(1) His rights in specific partnership property;
(2) His interest in the partnership; and
(3) His right to participate in the management.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1984

2329

14-8-25. (a) A partner is co-owner with his partners of specific partnership property holding as a tenant in partnership.
(b) The incidents of the tenancy are such that: (1) A partner, subject to the provisions of this chapter and to any agreement
between the partners, has an equal right with his partners to possess specific partnership property for partnership purposes; but he has no right to possess such property for any other purpose without the consent of his partners;
(2) A partner's right in specific partnership property is not assignable except in connection with the assignment of rights of all the partners in the same property;
(3) A partner's right in specific partnership property is not subject to attachment, judgment lien, execution, or other enforcement of a claim except on a claim against the partnership. When partnership property is attached for a partnership debt the partners, or any of them, or the representatives of a deceased partner, cannot claim any right under the homestead or exemption laws;
(4) On the death of a partner his right in specific partnership property vests in the surviving partner or partners, except where the deceased was the last surviving partner, when his right in such property vests in his legal representative. Such surviving partner or partners, or the legal representative of the last surviving partner, has no right to possess the partnership property for any but a partnership purpose;
(5) A partner's right in specific partnership property is not subject to the year's support provided for in Code Sections 53-5-1 and 53-5-2. (c) Nothing in Code Section 14-8-24 and this Code section shall modify, affect, or act in derogation of any portion of this chapter concerning the manner of vesting title to property (including, without limitation, real property) in the name of the partnership or the ownership of such property by the partnership. 14-8-26. A partner's interest in the partnership is his share of the profits and surplus, and the same is personal property. 14-8-27. (a) Except as provided in the partnership agreement, a partnership interest is assignable in whole or in part. (b) A conveyance by a partner of his interest in the partnership does not of itself dissolve the partnership, nor, as against the other partners in the absence of agreement, entitle the assignee, during the continuance of the partnership, to interfere in the management or administration of the partnership business or affairs, or to require any information or account of partnership transactions, or to inspect the partnership books; but it merely entitles the assignee to receive in accordance with his contract the profits to which the assigning partner would otherwise be entitled. (c) In case of a dissolution of the partnership, the assignee is entitled to receive his assignor's interest and may require an account pursuant to Code Section 14-8-43 from the date only of the last account agreed to by all the partners. 14-8-28. (a) On due application to a competent court by any judgment creditor of a partner or of any assignee of an interest in the partnership, the court which entered the judgment, order, or decree, or any other court, may charge the interest of the debtor partner or such assignee with payment of the unsatisfied amount of such judgment debt with interest thereon and may then or later appoint a receiver of his share of the profits, and of any other money or other assets due or to fall due to him in respect of the partnership, and, subject to subsection (b) of this Code section, make all other orders, directions, accounts, and inquiries which the debtor partner or such assignee might have made, or which the circumstances of the case may require.
(b) An interest charged pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section is not liable to be seized and sold by the judgment creditor under execution.
(c) The interest charged may be redeemed or purchased without thereby causing a dissolution:
(1) With separate property, by any one or more of the partners; or
(2) With the partnership property, by any one or more of the partners with the consent of all the partners whose interests are not so charged or sold.
(d) Nothing in this chapter shall be held to deprive a partner of his right, if any, under the exemption law, as regards his interest in the partnership.

2330

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(e) Subject to subsection (b) of this Code section, the remedies conferred by subsection (a) of this Code section shall not be deemed exclusive of others which may exist, including, without limitation, the right of a judgment creditor to reach the interest of a partner in the partnership by process of garnishment served on the partnership.
14-8-29. Upon dissolution of a partnership the partners cease to be associated in the carrying on of the partnership. The partnership shall continue until termination pursuant to Code Section 14-8-30 and until termination the partners shall be associated in the winding up of the partnership.
14-8-30. On dissolution the partnership is not terminated, but continues until the winding up of the partnership affairs is completed.
14-8-31. (a) Dissolution is caused: (1) By the termination of the definite term or particular undertaking specified in
the agreement; (2) By the express will or withdrawal of any partner; (3) By the expulsion of any partner from the business in accordance with the
terms of the agreement between the partners; (4) By any event which makes it unlawful for the business of the partnership to
be carried on or for the members to carry it on in partnership; (5) By the death of any partner, unless there is a written agreement between the
partners expressly providing otherwise; (6) By decree of court under Code Section 14-8-32; (7) In other circumstances as provided in the agreement between the partners.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, dissolution is not caused solely by admission of a new partner.
14-8-32. (a) On application by or for a partner the court shall decree a dissolution
whenever: (1) A partner has been declared mentally incapacitated in any judicial proceeding
or is shown to be of unsound mind; (2) A partner becomes in any other way incapable of performing his part of the
partnership contract; (3) A partner has been guilty of such conduct as tends to affect prejudicially the
carrying on of the business; (4) A partner wilfully or persistently commits a breach of the partnership agree-
ment or otherwise so conducts himself in matters relating to the partnership business that it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in partnership with him;
(5) Other circumstances render a dissolution equitable. (b) On the application of the purchaser of a partner's interest under Code Section
14-8-27, the court shall decree a dissolution: (1) After the termination of the specified term or particular undertaking; (2) At any time if the partnership was a partnership at will when the interest was
assigned. 14-8-33. Except so far as may be necessary to wind up partnership affairs or to complete transactions begun but not then finished, dissolution terminates all authority of
any partner to act for the partnership:
(1) With respect to the partners: (A) When the dissolution is not by the act or death of a partner; or (B) When the dissolution is by such act or death of a partner, in cases where
Code Section 14-8-34 so requires; (2) With respect to persons not partners, as declared in Code Section 14-8-35. 14-8-34. Subject to contrary agreement of the partners, where the dissolution is
caused by the act or death of a partner, each partner is liable to his copartners for his share of any liability created by any partner acting for the partnership as if the partner-
ship had not been dissolved; provided, however, that a partner shall not be liable to the
partner acting for the partnership where: (1) The dissolution being by act of any partner, the partner acting for the partner-
ship had knowledge of the dissolution; or (2) The dissolution being by the death of a partner, the partner acting for the
partnership had knowledge or notice of the death.

14-8-35. (a) After dissolution a partner can bind the partnership except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section:
(1) By any act appropriate for winding up partnership affairs or completing transactions unfinished at dissolution;
(2) By any transaction which would bind the partnership if dissolution had not taken place, provided the other party to the transaction:
(A) Was a creditor of the partnership at the time of dissolution or had extended credit to the partnership within two years prior to dissolution and, in either case, had no knowledge or notice of such partner's want of authority;
(B) Though he had not so extended credit, had nevertheless known of the partnership prior to dissolution, and, having no knowledge or notice of dissolution, the fact of dissolution had not been advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the place (or in each place if more than one) at which the partnership business was regularly carried on. (b) The liability of a partner under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Code section shall be satisfied out of partnership assets alone when such partner had been prior to dissolution: (1) Unknown as a partner to the person with whom the contract is made; and (2) So far unknown and inactive in partnership affairs that the business reputation of the partnership could not be said to have been in any degree due to his connection with it. (c) The partnership is in no case bound by any act of a partner after dissolution: (1) Where the partnership is dissolved because it is unlawful to carry on the business, unless the act is appropriate for winding up partnership affairs; (2) Where the partner has become bankrupt; or (3) Where the partner has no authority to wind up partnership affairs; except by a transaction with one who:
(A) Was a creditor of the partnership at the time of dissolution or had extended credit to the partnership within two years prior to dissolution and, in either case, had no knowledge or notice of such partner's want of authority;
(B) Had not extended credit to the partnership prior to dissolution, and, having no knowledge or notice of such partner's want of authority, the fact of such partner's want of authority had not been advertised in the manner provided for advertising the fact of dissolution in subparagraph (a)(2)(B) of this Code section. (d) Nothing in this Code section shall affect the liability under Code Section 14-8-16 of any person who after dissolution represents himself or consents to another representing him as a partner in a partnership engaged in carrying on business.
14-8-36. (a) The dissolution of the partnership does not of itself discharge the existing liability of any partner.
(b) A partner is discharged from any existing liability upon dissolution of the partnership by an agreement to that effect between himself, the partnership creditor, and the person or partnership continuing the business; and such agreement may be inferred from the course of dealing between the creditor having knowledge of the dissolution and the person or partnership continuing the business.
(c) Where a person agrees to assume the existing obligations of a dissolved partnership, the partners whose obligations have been assumed shall be discharged from any liability to any creditor of the partnership who knowing of the agreement, and without the consent of the partners whose obligations have been assumed, consents to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of such obligations.
(d) The individual property of a deceased partner shall be liable for all obligations of the partnership incurred while he was a partner but subject to the prior payment of his separate debts.
14-8-37. Unless otherwise agreed, the partners who have not wrongfully dissolved the partnership or the legal representative of the last surviving partner, not bankrupt, has the right to wind up the partnership affairs, including the right to convey any real property of the partnership; provided, however, that any partner, his legal representative, or his assignee, upon cause shown, may obtain winding up by the court.

(d) When all the partners or their representatives assign their rights in partnership property to one or more third persons who promise to pay the debts and who continue the business of the dissolved partnership, creditors of the dissolved partnership are also creditors of the person or partnership continuing the business.
(e) When any partner wrongfully causes a dissolution and the remaining partners continue the business under the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Code Section 14-8-38, either alone or with others, and without liquidation of the partnership affairs, creditors of the dissolved partnership are also creditors of the person or partnership continuing the business.

2334

(i) Nothing in this Code section shall be held to modify any right of creditors to set aside any assignment on the ground of fraud.
(j) The use by the person or partnership continuing the business of the partnership name, or the name of a deceased partner as part thereof, shall not of itself make the individual property of the deceased partner liable for any debts contracted by such person or partnership.

Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end of Article 1, relating to general provisions, two new Code sections to be designated Code Sections 47-2-2 and 47-2-3 to read as follows:
"47-2-2. (a) The provisions of this Code section are supplemental to, and not in lieu of, the provisions of paragraphs (20) and (21) of Code Section 47-2-1 defining 'involuntary separation from employment without prejudice' and 'involuntary separation from employment with prejudice.'
(b) The word 'employee' as defined in paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Code section shall include any such employee in the classified or unclassified service of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration provided for by Chapter 20 of Title 45. The provisions of that law or any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto relative to the dismissal of employees from employment shall not be applicable to the discharge of an employee from employment pursuant to the provisions of this Code section. Any such employee who is otherwise subject to that law and rules or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto shall continue to be subject thereto for the purpose of any adverse personnel action other than discharge from employment or suspension pursuant to this Code section, but for the purposes of such discharge from employment or suspension, the provisions of this Code section shall be exclusive.
(c) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Duties' means duties and responsibilities assigned by an employer to an
employee which are reasonably related to the lawful objectives and responsibilities of the employer and which are reasonably related to the position of employment held by the employee for which the employee is compensated.
(2) 'Employee' means an employee, other than an elected public official, a public official selected by a vote of a board to serve at the pleasure of the board, or a public official appointed pursuant to law for a specific term of office, as defined in paragraph (16) of Code Section 47-2-1 who was a member of the retirement system prior to April 1, 1972, and who, if involuntarily separated from employment without prejudice, has sufficient membership service under the retirement system to qualify for a retirement allowance because of such involuntary separation from employment.
(3) 'Employer' means any person or group of persons authorized by law or having authority delegated by law to discharge an employee.
(4) 'Insubordination' means the refusal by an employee to carry out the employee's duties when instructed to do so by the employer or by the employee's supervisor upon the instructions or under the authority of the employer.
(5) 'Irresponsible performance of duties' means the performance of any duties by an employee or the use of an employee's position of employment for any one or more of the following purposes:
(A) To make a financial gain or receive materials or services having financial value, except compensation received as an employee, under circumstances which would lead a reasonable person to believe that the financial gain or the receipt of materials or services was improperly related to the performance of duties by the employee;
(B) To purchase or authorize the purchase of materials or services from public funds when the employee knows or reasonably could be expected to know that the amount paid for such materials or services unreasonably exceeds the amount for

2390

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

which substantially equivalent materials or services could be purchased without excessive delay or inconvenience;
(C) To use publicly owned real or personal property or publicly supplied services for personal use when the employee knows or reasonably could be expected to know that such personal use of public property or services is unauthorized or improper; or
(D) To expend or authorize the expenditure of public funds in a manner which would lead a reasonable person to believe the employee shows a reckless disregard for the obligation to taxpayers to expend public funds in a prudent and efficient manner.
(6) 'Malingering' means frequent absences from work or the failure to perform duties during working hours because of claims of illness which are unsubstantiated as determined pursuant to subsection (e) of this Code section.
(7) 'Neglect of duty' means the repeated failure by an employee to carry out the employee's duties, either because of excessive unexcused absences from work or a failure to perform or the unsatisfactory performance of duties while at work or a combination thereof.
(8) 'Proof of illness' means a written opinion by one or more physicians designated by the medical board provided for by Code Section 47-2-24 stating that an employee's absences from work or unsatisfactory performance of duties are reasonably related to an illness suffered by the employee and describing the nature of such illness.
(9) 'Unsatisfactory performance of duties in a willful manner' means the unsatisfactory performance of duties by an employee when the past satisfactory performance of duties by the employee indicates the employee's unsatisfactory performance is willful as determined pursuant to subsection (f) of this Code section. (d) An employee may be discharged from employment pursuant to the requirements of this Code section for insubordination, irresponsible performance of duties, malingering, neglect of duty, or unsatisfactory performance of duties in a willful manner, or for any combination of such reasons. Any employee so discharged from employment shall not be entitled to and shall not receive a retirement benefit based on involuntary separation from employment without prejudice pursuant to Code Section 47-2-123. (e) An employer shall have a reasonable basis for believing an employee is malingering when:
(1) The employee has a pattern of absences from work because of illness or unsatisfactory performance of duties because of illness or a pattern of absences from work and unsatisfactory performance of duties because of illness;
(2) The employer has requested the employee, in writing, to provide proof of illness and the employee has been given a reasonable opportunity, which shall not be less than 30 days after the date of the request made by the employer, to respond to the employer's request; and
(3) The employee has provided no or unsatisfactory proof of illness to the employer in response to the request made pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection. (f) An employer shall have a reasonable basis for believing an employee is engaging in unsatisfactory performance of duties in a willful manner when:
(1) The past work history of the employee indicates the employee is capable of satisfactory performance of duties;
(2) The unsatisfactory performance of duties became increasingly apparent after the employee qualified for a retirement benefit based on involuntary separation from employment without prejudice; and
(3) The employee does not claim illness as a basis for unsatisfactory performance of duties and has offered no proof of illness to the employer.

(1) An explanation of the conduct or deficiencies of the employee which forms the basis for the employer's considering the discharge of the employee;

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1984

2391

(2) A statement that such conduct may result in the employee's discharge from employment on a specified date, which shall not be earlier than the tenth day following the date of the notice in the case of insubordination or irresponsible performance of duties and not earlier than the thirtieth day following the date of the notice if the basis for considering the discharge of the employee is for a reason or reasons other than insubordination or irresponsible performance of duties;
(3) A statement that the employee's discharge from employment for the reasons specified in the notice shall not constitute involuntary separation from employment without prejudice within the meaning of the applicable provisions of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia and that if discharged, the employee shall not be entitled to receive and shall not receive a retirement benefit based on involuntary separation from employment without prejudice;
(4) A statement that the employee has a right to a hearing before the employer on a specified date, which shall be at least five days prior to the date specified for the employee's discharge from employment; and
(5) A statement that at the hearing before the employer, the employee shall be given an opportunity to offer explanations for the employee's conduct or deficiencies and to present evidence on the employee's behalf. (h) An employee being considered for discharge from employment because of insubordination or irresponsible performance of duties may be suspended without pay, except to the extent the employee has accumulated annual leave, pending the completion of the procedures provided for in subsections (g) and (i) of this Code section. If the employer's final decision is not to discharge the employee or if the employee's discharge is not upheld by the court upon judicial review provided for in Code Section 47-2-3, the compensation denied to the employee during suspension shall be reimbursed to the employee and, if applicable, accumulated leave used during the suspension shall be reinstated. (i) If an employee subject to the provisions of subsection (g) of this Code section fails to respond to the notice sent to the employee pursuant to said Code section or if the employer is not satisfied with the explanation made by the employee for the conduct or deficiencies specified in said notice and is not satisfied with the evidence presented in the employee's behalf, the employee may be discharged from employment on the date specified in said notice or on such later date as shall be specified in writing by the employer to the employee. The employee shall be notified, in writing, of the final decision of the employer and such notice shall provide an explanation for the employer's decision.
(j) An employer discharging an employee pursuant to this Code section shall prepare a written report to the board of trustees on the discharge of the employee. Any notices or other written communications to the employee which relate to the employer's decision to discharge the employee shall be attached to and made a part of the employer's report to the board of trustees.
(k) It shall be the duty of any employer considering the discharge of an employee for any reason or combination of reasons specified in subsection (d) of this Code section to follow the procedures specified in this Code section as a condition precedent to the discharge of such employee.
47-2-3. (a) As used in this Code section, the term:
(1) 'Employee' means an employee subject to the provisions of Code Section 47-2-2 who is discharged from employment pursuant to that Code section and who is aggrieved by such discharge from employment.
(2) 'Employer' shall have the same meaning as the definition of that word provided in paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of Code Section 47-2-2.
(b) An employee shall have the right to judicial review of the employee's discharge from employment pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 47-2-2. Proceedings for judicial review may be instituted by filing a petition within 30 days after the date the employee's discharge from employment becomes final as specified in the notice sent to the employee pursuant to subsection (i) of Code Section 47-2-2. The petition may be filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County or in the superior court of the county of

2392

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

residence of the employee. The petition shall state the nature of the employee's interest and the grounds as specified in subsection (f) of this Code section upon which the employee contends that the employee's discharge from employment should be reversed or modified. The petition may be amended by leave of the court. The filing of the petition does not itself stay the enforcement of the employer's decision to discharge the employee, but the reviewing court may order a stay upon appropriate terms for good cause shown.
(c) Within 30 days after service of the petition or within further time allowed by the court, the employer shall transmit to the reviewing court the original or a certified copy of the entire record, which shall include the report prepared by the employer pursuant to subsection (j) of Code Section 47-2-2, of the proceedings under review. The court may require or permit subsequent corrections or additions to the record.
(d) If, before the date set for hearing, application is made to the court for leave to present additional evidence and it is shown to the satisfaction of the court that the additional evidence is material and there were good reasons for failure to present it in the hearing before the employer, the court may order that the additional evidence be taken before the employer upon conditions determined by the court. The employer may modify the employer's findings and decision to discharge the employee by reason of the additional evidence and shall file that evidence and any modifications, new findings, or decisions with the reviewing court.
(e) The review shall be conducted by the court without a jury and shall be confined to the record. In cases of alleged irregularities in procedure before the employer, not shown in the record, proof thereon may be taken in the court. The court, upon request, shall hear oral argument and receive written briefs.
(f) The court shall not substitute its judgment for that of the employer as to the weight of the evidence on questions of fact. The court may affirm the decision of the employer or remand the case for further proceedings. The court may reverse or modify the decision of the employer to discharge the employee if substantial rights of the employee have been prejudiced because the administrative findings, inferences, conclusions, or decision of the employer were:
(1) In violation of constitutional or statutory provisions; (2) In excess of statutory authority of the employer; (3) Affected by other error of law; (4) Clearly erroneous in view of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence on the whole record; or (5) Arbitrary or capricious or characterized by abuse of discretion or clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion. (g) If the employee or the employer is aggrieved by a final judgment of the superior court under this Code section, either such party may obtain review of such final judgment pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 5-6-35."
Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by adding at the end of Code Section 47-2-123, relating to allowances payable upon death, disability, or involuntary separation from employment, two new subsections (g) and (h) to read as follows:
"(g) From and after January 1, 1985, no employing unit within the government of the State of Georgia, including every department, commission, board, bureau, agency, branch of government, or any other employing unit by whatever name called, which has the authority and power to appoint, employ, release, separate, or fail to reappoint public officials or employees shall release or separate from state service, or fail to reappoint to continued state service, any public official or employee who is entitled to coverage under the involuntary separation retirement benefits provisions of this Code section. A release, separation, or failure to reappoint in violation of the provisions of this subsection shall be illegal, unlawful, and void. However, such releases or separations from state service or failures to reappoint to continued state service shall not be subject to the provisions of this subsection if such releases or separations from service or failures to reappoint occur under any of the following circumstances:
(1) Separation or release from service of an official or employee pursuant to Code Section 47-2-2;

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1984

2393

(2) Separation or release from service of an official or employee for any reason which would constitute cause as defined in the rules and regulations of the State Personnel Board if such separation or release from service is not pursuant to Code Section 47-2-2;
(3) Separation or release from service of an official or employee for criminal conduct under the laws of this state, any other state, or the United States; or
(4) A 'discretionary termination' which means any one of the following:
(A) Separation or release from service of an official or employee under circumstances in which an official or employee is released or separated or any official's or employee's position or joh is abolished through a valid reduction-in-force plan approved -by the State Merit System of Personnel Administration;
(B) Separation or release from service of any official or employee by reason of a bona fide reorganization of any employing unit, with respect to which reorganization any such separations or releases have been approved in advance by the Governor; or
(C) Separation or release from service of an official or employee, or failure of reappointment of an official or employee, who holds a confidential position to an appointed or elected public official, or a group of appointed or elected public offi-
cials, incurred as a result of a change of administration in the office of such appointed or elected public official, or group of appointed or elected public officials, (h) (1) Except where termination is required by a sudden and unexpected loss of federal or state funds, an employer intending the discretionary termination of an offi-
cial or employee shall notify the commissioner of personnel administration at least 60 but not more than 120 days prior to the effective date of the discretionary termination
of such official or employee. If termination is required by a sudden and unexpected loss of federal or state funds, the employer shall notify the commissioner of personnel administration as soon as the employer becomes aware of the loss of funds and the
termination shall be delayed until the completion of the procedures required by this subsection. Pending the completion of such procedures, the employee or official pro-
posed for termination because of a sudden and unexpected loss of federal or state funds shall be compensated from any funds appropriated or available to the employer
which may be used for such purpose. The notice shall be in writing and a copy thereof shall be forwarded to the board of trustees at the same time it is forwarded to the commissioner of personnel administration. The notice shall include the following information:
(A) The name and current annual compensation of the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination;
(B) The age, length of service, current job description, and summary of the work experience of the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination;
(C) The educational qualifications of the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination; and
(D) An explanation of the reasons for the proposed discretionary termination of the official or employee.
(2) After receipt of the notice provided for in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the commissioner of personnel administration shall schedule an interview with the official
or employee proposed for discretionary termination. The interview shall be held within 15 days after receipt of the notice. Based on the interview with the official or
employee proposed for discretionary termination and the information provided by the notice received by the commissioner pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
commissioner of personnel administration shall contact appropriate state departments, boards, bureaus, and other agencies of the state government for the purpose of seeking
continued employment for the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination. Any position for continued employment of the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination which is obtained by the commissioner of personnel admin-
istration shall meet the following requirements: (A) The annual compensation for such position shall be the same or greater than
the current annual compensation of the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination;

2394

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(B) The duties for such position shall be reasonably compatible with the previous work experience and educational qualifications of the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination;
(C) The position shall be one which includes the holder thereof as a member of the retirement system provided for by this chapter; and
(D) The position must be available for acceptance by the official or employee proposed for discretionary termination at least one day prior to the effective date of such termination and an offer of the position to the official or employee must be made, in writing, by not later than the day immediately preceding the effective date of the discretionary termination. (3) Any official or employee proposed for discretionary termination who is offered a position of continued employment in conformity with the requirements of paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be deemed to have resigned from service at his or her own choice upon the failure of such official or employee to accept the position of continued employment, and no such official or employee so resigning from service shall qualify for retirement benefits based upon involuntary separation from employment without prejudice as authorized by this Code section. (4) If the commissioner of personnel administration fails to obtain a position of continued employment in conformity with the requirements of paragraph (2) of this subsection for an official or employee proposed for discretionary termination, then, on the effective date of the discretionary termination, the official or employee may be considered involuntarily separated from employment without prejudice for the purposes of this Code section. (5) The commissioner of personnel administration shall notify the board of trustees in writing of the action taken by the commissioner pursuant to this subsection and of any position of continued employment which is offered to and accepted or refused by an official or employee proposed for discretionary termination. (6) It is the intention of this subsection to provide procedures to secure the continued employment of officials and employees who may become subject to discretionary termination, and the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to create any right to continue in a position of employment when that right does not exist independently of this subsection."
Section 4. Subject to the requirements of Section 5 of this Act, effective January 1, 1985, Code Section 47-2-123.1, relating to procedures and requirements applicable to the discretionary termination of certain employee members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, shall stand repealed in its entirety.
Section 5. This Act shall become effective on January 1, 1985, only if a proposed amendment to the Constitution authorizing the General Assembly to revise provisions of public retirement or pension systems relating to involuntary separation from employment is ratified at the 1984 general election. In the event such proposed constitutional amendment is not so ratified this Act shall be null, void, and of no force and effect and shall stand repealed in its entirety on January 1, 1985.
Section 6. Pursuant to the authority of the proposed constitutional amendment described in Section 5 of this Act and being contingent for its effectiveness on January 1, 1985, upon the ratification of such proposed constitutional amendment, this Act is exempt from the provisions of Chapter 20 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated known as the "Public Retirement Systems Standards Law."
Section 7. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

in this chapter shall be construed as repealing or altering any such law or statute. Any reference to any employee who has been injured shall, if the employee dies, include his legal representatives, dependents, and other persons to whom compensation may be payable pursuant to this chapter. All firemen and policemen whose compensation is paid by the state or any county or municipality, regardless of the method of appointment, and all full-time county employees and employees of elected salaried county officials are specifically included in this definition. There shall also be included within such term any volunteer firefighter of any county or municipality of this state, but only for volunteer fire-fighting services rendered to such county or municipality and only if the governing authority of the county or municipality for which such services are rendered shall provide by appropriate resolution for inclusion of such volunteer firefighters. There shall also be included within such term any volunteer law enforcement personnel of any county or municipality of this state who are certified by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, but only for volunteer law enforcement services rendered to such county or municipality and only if the governing authority of the county or municipality for which such services are rendered shall provide by appropriate resolution for inclusion of such volunteer law enforcement personnel.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the Governor's Judicial Process Review Commission is requested to undertake an investigation of the advisability and feasibility of the adoption of court rules by the Supreme Court of Georgia and record-keeping rules by the Supreme Court of Georgia which would establish a system for the reporting of judges' caseloads in the superior couts of this state and which would establish a system of random assignment of similar numbers of cases to each judge in the multijudge superior court judicial circuits of this state.

"To amend Chapter 7 of Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to regulation and construction of hospitals,".
By adding on line 7 of page 1 after the following:

By adding between lines 21 and 22 of page 2 the following:
"Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 31-7-95 thereof, providing funding for medical education provided by hospital authorities, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
'31-7-95. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (.1) 'Designated teaching hospital' means a teaching hospital operated by other
than a hospital authority, which hospital agrees to contract with the state to offer or continue to offer a residency program approved by the American Medical Association, which program has at least 35 residents and which hospital operates a 24 hour, seven-day-per-week emergency room open to the public.
(1) 'Hospital authority' means a hospital authority operating a teaching hospital which offers a residency program approved by the American Medical Association.
(2) 'Resident' means a physician receiving medical education and training through a teaching hospital operated by a hospital authority or designated teaching hospital. (b) The General Assembly finds that the major hospital authorities and designated teaching hospitals in this state provide a valuable service benefiting the entire state by operating teaching hospitals which provide necessary medical education and training for physicians; this service is provided through residency programs offered by these teaching hospitals. By the provision of residency programs operated by state teaching hospitals, the state has recognized its responsibility to fund the cost of training physicians; and it is the purpose of this Code section to recognize that the state

2468

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

has a similar responsibility when the medical education and training are provided by teaching hospitals operated by hospital authorities or by designated teaching hospitals.
(c) For each resident receiving medical education and training through a teaching hospital operated by a hospital authority or designated teaching hospital, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia shall pay $10,000.00 per annum to the hospital authority or designated teaching hospital. Such payments shall be made based upon certifications by the hospital authorities or designated teaching hospitals to the board of regents. The board of regents is authorized to designate the Joint Advisory Board of Family Practice to promulgate rules and regulations specifying procedures for making the certifications provided for in this Code section and to establish a procedure for making payments to hospital authorities and designated teaching hospitals as provided herein.
(d) The funds necessary to carry out this Code section shall derive from funds appropriated for such purpose to the board of regents. In the event the funds appropriated by the General Assembly are insufficient to fund the full amount payable to hospital authorities or designated teaching hospitals under subsection (c) of this Code section, the amount otherwise payable thereunder shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with the funds actually appropriated for such purpose. The local government or governments responsible for the governance or the financial support of the hospital authority or authorities shall provide a certified audit to the board of regents by September 29, 1980, and on the same date yearly thereafter, which shows clearly the exact amount of local funds contributed to the authority during the most recent full fiscal year of operation of the authority or authorities. No funds provided for in this Code section shall be^ distributed to any hospital or hospital authority if the local government's contribution in any year hereafter falls below the previous year's contribution as shown in the-certified audit. The board of regents shall have the authority to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this Code section. As used in this subsection, the term "local funds" means in kind or cash contributions. The provisions of this subsection requiring certified audits of local fund contributions and prohibiting reduction in such contributions shall not apply to any designated teaching hospital.
(e) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to amend, modify, supersede, or repeal Chapter 10 of Title 49.'"

The bond shall be payable to the judge for the benefit of all concerned, shall be attested by him or his clerk, and shall be conditioned for the faithful discharge of the administrator's duty as such, as required by law. A substantial compliance with these requisites for the bond shall be deemed sufficient; and no administrator's bond shall be declared invalid by reason of any variation therefrom as to payee, amount, or condition, where the manifest intention was to give bond as administrator and a breach of his duty as such has been proved.
(b) The rules of law governing the bond of an executor shall be applicable in the case of an administrator with the will annexed.", and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:

A substantial compliance with these requisites for the bond shall be deemed sufficient; and no bond shall be declared invalid by reason of any variation therefrom as to payee, amount, or condition, where the manifest intention was to give bond as administrator or executor and a breach of duty as such has been proved.
(b) In any case in which an administrator or executor is required to give bond, the amount of the bond shall be equal to double the amount of the estate except where a reduction in the amount of the bond is authorized by Code Section 53-7-34, 53-7-35, or 53-7-36 or by some other provision of law."

(c) The order requiring the administrator to give bond and security shall afford him not less than five nor more than 15 days within which to give such bond and security. If, at the expiration of the time given, the bond and security is not given, the judge of the probate court shall vest the administration in the person offered for that purpose.", and inserting in its place the following:

less frequently than quarterly; (2) Exercise responsibility and authority in all matters within the county pertain-
ing to health unless the responsibility for enforcement of such is by law that of another agency;
(3) Take such steps as may be necessary to prevent and suppress disease and conditions deleterious to health and to determine compliance with health laws and rules, regulations, and standards adopted thereunder;

No person shall be denied services on the basis of his inability to pay. The scope of services, operating details, contracts, and fees approved by the county board of health shall also be approved by the district director of health. No fees for environmental health services may be charged unless the schedule of fees for such services has been approved by the county governing authority; and
(7) Contract with the Department of Human Resources or other agencies for assistance in the performance of its functions and the exercise of its powers and for supplying services which are within its purview to perform, provided that such contracts and amendments thereto shall have first been approved by the department. In entering into any contracts to perform its functions and to exercise its powers, and for supplying services which are within its purview to perform, any county board of health or any health district created under the authority of Code Section 31-3-15 shall be considered an agency and such agency shall have the authority to contract with any other county board of health; combination of county boards of health; any other health district; public or private hospitals; hospital authorities; medical schools; training and educational institutions; departments and agencies of the state; county or municipal governments; persons, partnerships, corporations, and associations, public or private; the United States government or the government of any other state; or any other legal entity. (b) The provisions of paragraph (6) of subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to any consolidated city-county government."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 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, except where it appears in Code Section 15-11-1 and in the introductory phrase to Code Section 15-11-2, and inserting in its place "article."

2490

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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 parent is not thereafter entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the child 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.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1984

2491

(c) If the child is not adopted within two years after the date of the order and a general 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 follows:
"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 Article 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 manifestly unfit because the conduct or condition of the parent is such as to render the parent unable or unwilling to care properly for the child; such conduct or condition is unlikely to change or is likely to recur in the forseeable future; and, by reason thereof, the child has suffered, is suffering, or is likely to suffer serious physical, mental, moral, or emotional harm.
(A) In determining unfitness of a parent under this paragraph, the court shall consider, without being limited to, the following:
(i) Emotional illness, mental illness, mental retardation, or mental 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) Egregious conduct toward a child of a physically, emotionally, or sexually cruel or abusive nature;
(iii) Excessive use of or history of chronic unrehabilitated abuse of intoxicating liquors, narcotic or dangerous drugs, marijuana, or controlled substances;
(iv) Physical, mental, or emotional neglect of the child; (v) Conviction of a felony and imprisonment therefor which has a demonstrable negative effect on the quality of the parent-child relationship; and (vi) Unexplained injury or death of a sibling under circumstances where the parent should have known the cause of the injury or death. (B) In addition to the considerations in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, where a child is not in the physical custody of the parent, in determining unfitness of a parent under this paragraph, the court shall consider, without being limited to, the following, where the parent without justifiable cause fails to: (i) Provide care or to pay a reasonable portion of substitute physical care and maintenance where custody is lodged with others;

2492

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(ii) Maintain regular visitation or other contact with the child as designed in a court approved plan to reunite the child with the parent;
(iii) Maintain consistent contact, communication, or both with the child; and (iv) Adjust his circumstances, 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 interest 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.
(d) The petition shall state clearly that an order for termination of parental rights is requested and that the effect thereof will be as stated in Code Section 15-11-80, and shall set forth in ordinary and concise language the facts required by Code Section 15-11-25.
15-11-83. (a) Upon filing of the petition, summons shall be issued forthwith on the child's parents, guardian, lawful custodian, and person presently having physical custody of the child.
(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 the child's parents, guardian, lawful custodian, and person presently having physical custody of the child. All summons shall contain a statement to the effect that the hearing is for the purpose of terminating parental rights.
(c) The summons shall require the person who has physical custody of the child to appear personally and to bring the child before the court at the time and place stated in the summons. Where, at the court's discretion, it is deemed in the interest of the child that the child need not be brought before the court, the court may so indicate. The summons shall be served at least 30 days before the time set for the hearing and a copy of the petition shall be served together with the summons and shall be made in the manner provided in Code Section 9-11-4, relating to service in civil practice.
(d) 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 article. 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. If the identity of the putative father is unknown, the court may require the mother to execute an affidavit 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 proceedings 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

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1984

2493

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 identification 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 legitimate 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, consent, 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 without reasonable cause fail to appear or, when directed in the summons, to bring the child before the court, then the court may issue a rule nisi against such person, directing that
that person appear before the court to show cause why such person should not be held in contempt of 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 shall appoint an attorney to represent the child as his counsel
and may appoint a separate guardian ad litem or 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.
15-11-87. The court may require a physical or mental evaluation of any parent, stepparent, guardian, or child involved in a proceeding under this article.
15-11-88. The record of the testimony of the parties adduced in any proceeding under
this article shall not be admissible in any civil, criminal, or any other cause or proceedings in any court against a person named as respondent for any purpose whatsoever,
except in subsequent deprivation or termination proceedings involving the same child or deprivation or termination proceedings involving the same respondent under this article.
15-11-89. The court shall conduct hearings, where appropriate, in accordance with Code Section 15-11-29.
15-11-90. (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 make any of the following dispositions: 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.

2494

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(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 a petition seeking the adoption of the child is not filed within one year after the date of the disposition order, the court shall then, and at least yearly thereafter as long as the child remains unadopted, review the circumstances of the child to determine what efforts have been made to assure that the child will be adopted. The court may then enter such orders as it deems necessary to further the adoption, including but not limited to another placement.
15-11-91. In a proceeding under this article, the provisions of Article 1 of this chapter shall apply unless in conflict with this article.
15-11-92. In a proceeding to terminate parental rights unless the court has jurisdiction of the child pursuant to Code Section 15-11-5 the venue of such proceeding shall be brought in the county of this state of the residence of the parent whose rights are sought to be terminated."
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The registration shall show the name and address of the registrant's employer, or, if he is the owner or proprietor of a drug store or pharmacy, it shall show the exact location thereof. Notice of any change of employment or change of business address shall be filed with the jointsecretary within ten days after such change.

"31-7-11. (a) Whenever any person dies in a hospital licensed pursuant to Chapter 7 of this title, in any federal hospital operating within this state, or any nursing home operated within this state, such hospital or nursing home shall be authorized but shall not be required to transfer possession of any property, tangible or intangible, of such patient which is in the possession of the hospital or nursing home, to the following persons:
(1) To the person designated by the patient in writing upon admission to the hospital or nursing home, if any;
(2) To the surviving spouse of the patient, if any; (3) If no surviving spouse, to any adult child of the patient, and if no such adult child, to any person acting in loco parentis of any minor child; (4) If no surviving spouse or surviving children, to either parent of the patient; (5) If none of the above, then to any brother or sister of the patient; or (6) If none of the above, to the person assuming responsibility for burial of the patient. (b) The transfer of possession to the surviving spouse or any of the other family members or persons listed in subsection (a) of this Code section shall operate as a complete acquittal and discharge to the hospital or nursing home of liability from any suit, claim, or demand of whatever nature by any heir, distributee, or creditor of the patient, or any other person as relates to the property transferred. Such distribution is authorized to be made as provided in this Code section without the necessity of administration of the estate of the patient and without the necessity of obtaining an order that no administration of such estate is necessary. (c) The transfer of possession provided for in this Code section shall in no way affect the legal ownership or title to any property so transferred. (d) The provisions of any law of descent or distribution or any will or other instrument providing for disposition of property shall not be impaired by this Code section, and any person to whom property is transferred pursuant to this Code section may be required to transfer that property in conformity with the disposition of property required by such laws of descent or distribution or such will or other instrument."

"31-7-96. This article, being necessary for the welfare of the citizens of the state, shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes hereof; and insofar as this article may be inconsistent with any other law, whether by charter of any political subdivision of the state or otherwise, this article shall be controlling. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Chapter 14 of Title 50 or Chapter 80 of Title 36. a hospital authority shall be deemed subject to such chapters only for those meetings of the full authority at which final action is taken regarding the budget allocation of public moneys received by such authority from the county or municipal corporation of such authority's area of operation. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50. only those records of a hospital authority which reflect final action taken by the full authority regarding the budget allocation of public moneys received by such authority from the county or municipal corporation of such authority's area of operation shall be subject to Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50. Local governing authorities which provide funding for the operation of a hospital authority shall be entitled to disclosure of all

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

financial records and contracts of such hospital authority, and all financial records furnished to a governing authority under this Code section shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties."

A RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to authorize the creation of community improvement districts for the purpose of providing governmental services; to provide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article IX of the Constitution is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Section VII to read as follows:
"SECTION VII COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
Paragraph I. Creation. The General Assembly may by local law create one or more community improvement districts for any county or municipality or provide for the creation of one or more community improvement districts by any county or municipality.
Paragraph II. Purposes. The purpose of a community improvement district shall be the provision of any one or more of the following governmental services and facilities:
(1) Street and road construction and maintenance, including curbs, sidewalks, street lights, and devices to control the flow of traffic on streets and roads.
(2) Parks and recreational areas and facilities. (3) Storm water and sewage collection and disposal systems. (4) Development, storage, treatment, purification, and distribution of water. (5) Public transportation. (6) Terminal and dock facilities and parking facilities. (7) Such other services and facilities as may be provided for by general law. Paragraph III. Administration, (a) Any law creating or providing for the creation of a community improvement district shall designate the governing authority of the municipality or county for which the community improvement district is created as the administrative body or otherwise shall provide for the establishment and membership of an administrative body for the community improvement district. Any such law creating or providing for the creation of an administrative body for the community improvement district other than the municipal or county governing authority shall provide for representation of the governing authority of each county and municipality within which the community improvement district is wholly or partially located on the administrative body of the community improvement district. (b) Any law creating or providing for the creation of a community improvement district shall provide that the creation of the community improvement district shall be conditioned upon: (1) The adoption of a resolution consenting to the creation of the community improvement district by:
(A) The governing authority of the county if the community improvement district is located wholly within the unincorporated area of a county;
(B) The governing authority of the municipality if the community improvement district is located wholly within the incorporated area of a municipality; or
(C) The governing authorities of the county and the municipality if the community improvement district is located partially within the unincorporated area of a county and partially within the incorporated area of a municipality; and (2) Written consent to the creation of the community improvement district by:
(A) A majority of the owners of real property within the community improvement district which will be subject to taxes, fees, and assessments levied by the administrative body of the community improvement district; and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1984

2641

(B) The owners of real property within the community improvement district which constitutes at least 75 percent by value of all real property within the community improvement district which will be subject to taxes, fees, and assessments levied by the administrative body of the community improvement district; and for this purpose value shall be determined by the most recent approved county ad valorem tax digest. (c) The administrative body of each community improvement district may be authorized to levy taxes, fees, and assessments within the community improvement district only on real property used nonresidentially, specifically excluding all property used for residential, agricultural, or forestry purposes and specifically excluding tangible personal property and intangible property. Any tax, fee, or assessment so levied shall not exceed 2 '/2 percent of the assessed value of the real property or such lower limit as may be established by law. The law creating or providing for the creation of a community improvement district shall provide that taxes, fees, and assessments levied by the administrative body of the community improvement district shall be equitably apportioned among the properties subject to such taxes, fees, and assessments according to the need for governmental services and facilities created by the degree of density of development of each such property. The law creating or providing for the creation of a community improvement district shall provide that the proceeds of taxes, fees, and assessments levied by the administrative body of the community improvement district shall be used only for the purpose of providing governmental services and facilities which are specially required by the degree of density of development within the community improvement district and not for the purpose of providing those governmental services and facilities provided to the county or municipality as a whole. Any tax, fee, or assessment so levied shall be collected by the county or municipality for which the community improvement district is created in the same manner as taxes, fees, and assessments levied by such county or municipality. The proceeds of taxes, fees, and assessments so levied, less such fee to cover the costs of collection as may be specified by law, shall be transmitted by the collecting county or municipality to the administrative body of the community improvement district and shall be expended by the administrative body of the community improvement district only for the purposes authorized by this Section. Paragraph IV. Debt. The administrative body of a community improvement district may incur debt, as authorized by law, without regard to the requirements of Section V of this Article, which debt shall be backed by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the community improvement district but shall not be an obligation of the State of Georgia or any other unit of government of the State of Georgia other than the community improvement district. Paragraph V. Cooperation with local governments. The services and facilities provided pursuant to this Section shall be provided for in a cooperation agreement executed jointly by the administrative body and the governing authority of the county or municipality for which the community improvement district is created. The provisions of this section shall in no way limit the authority of any county or municipality to provide services or facilities within any community improvement district; and any county or municipality shall retain full and complete authority and control over any of its facilities located within a community improvement district. Said control shall include but not be limited to the modification of, access to, and degree and type of services provided through or by facilities of the municipality or county. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit or preempt the application of any governmental laws, ordinances, resolutions, or regulations to any community improvement district or the services or facilities provided therein. Paragraph VI. Regulation by general law. The General Assembly by general law may regulate, restrict, and limit the creation of community improvement districts and the exercise of the powers of administrative bodies of community improvement districts."
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.

"31-7-11. (a) Whenever any person dies in a hospital licensed pursuant to Chapter 7 of this title, in any federal hospital operating within this state, or any nursing home operated within this state, such hospital or nursing home shall be authorized but shall not be required to transfer possession of any property, tangible or intangible, of such patient which is in the possession of the hospital or nursing home, to the following persons:
(1) To the person designated by the patient in writing upon admission to the hospital or nursing home, if any;

Such distribution is authorized to be made as provided in this Code section without the necessity of administration of the estate of the patient and without the necessity of obtaining an order that no administration of such estate is necessary. (c) The transfer of possession provided for in this Code section shall in no way affect the legal ownership or title to any property so transferred. (d) The provisions of any law of descent or distribution or any will or other instrument providing for disposition of property shall not be impaired by this Code section,

2646

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and any person to whom property is transferred pursuant to this Code section may be required to transfer that property in conformity with the disposition of property required by such laws of descent or distribution or such will or other instrument."

Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Chapter 14 of Title 50 or Chapter 80 of Title 36, a hospital authority shall be deemed subject to such chapters only for those meetings of the full authority at which final action is taken regarding the budget allocation of public moneys received by such authority from the county or municipal corporation of such authority's area of operation. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50, only those records of a hospital authority which reflect final action taken by the full authority regarding the budget allocation of public moneys received bv such authority from the county or municipal corporation of such authority's area of operation shall be subject to Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50. Local governing authorities which provide funding for the operation of a hospital authority shall be entitled to disclosure of all financial records and contracts of such hospital authority, and all financial records furnished to a governing authority under this Code section shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties."
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.

Section 46. It is the intent of this General Assembly that appropriations to the object class "Authority Lease Rentals" shall be used entirely for payment to debt-sinking funds, and that no funds be withdrawn from debt-sinking funds except for the purpose of paying principal, interest and trustees fees, or for transfer to another sinking fund.

Section 47. It is the intent of this General Assembly that each State agency utilizing xerographic reproducing equipment maintain a log for each unit of equipment indicating the date, number of copies and such other data determined to be appropriate to control the utilization of such equipment. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that each State agency implement procedures to control usage of long-distance, GIST and credit card telephone calls, in order to mitigate the State's cost therefor.

Section 48.

The State auditor shall make the utilization of State motor vehicles a matter of special interest in future audits to insure strict compliance with the intent of this General Assembly.

Section 49. It is the intent of this General Assembly that to the extent to which Federal funds become available in amounts in excess of those contemplated in this Appropriations Act, such excess Federal funds shall be applied as follows, whenever feasible:
First, to supplant State funds which have been appropriated to supplant Federal funds, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets; and
Second, to further supplant State funds to the extent necessary to maintain the effective matching ratio experienced in the immediately preceding fiscal year, which such supplanted State funds shall thereupon be removed from the annual operating budgets. It is the further intent of this General Assembly that the Office of Planning and Budget utilize its budgetary and fiscal authority so as to accomplish the above-stated intent to the greatest degree feasible; and that at the end of this fiscal year, said Office of Planning and Budget provide written notice to the members of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the instances of noncompliance with the stated intent of this Section.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

enable the State Auditor to readily determine by Object Class the expenditures of each activity contained in this Appropriations Act.

Section 51. In addition to all other appropriations, there is hereby appropriated as needed, a specific sum of money equal to each refund authorized by law, which is required to make refund of taxes and other monies collected in error, farmer gasoline tax refund and any other refunds specifically authorized by law.

Section 52. No State appropriations authorized under this Act shall be used to continue programs currently funded by 100% Federal funds.

Section 53. Provided further that no State funds in this appropriation shall be paid to or on behalf of Georgia Indigent Legal Services or its affiliates, nor shall any State facilities be made available for their use, including but not limited to the Georgia Interactive Statewide Telecommunications Network either directly or indirectly.

Section 54. In accordance with the requirements of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph la of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, as amended, there is hereby appropriated payable to each department, agency, or institution of the State sums sufficient to satisfy the payments required to be made in each year, under lease contracts now in existence or as provided for in this Appropriations Act between any department, agency, or institution of the State, and any authority created and activated at the time of the effective date of the aforesaid constitutional provision, as amended, or appropriated for the State fiscal year addressed within this Act, and for each and every fiscal year thereafter, until all payments required under lease contracts have been paid in full, and if for any reason any of the sums herein provided under any other provision of this Act are insufficient in any year to make the required payments in full, there shall be taken from other funds appropriated to the department, agency or institution involved, an amount sufficient to satisfy such deficiency in full and the lease payment constitutes a first charge on all such appropriations.
The General Assembly declares that the sums hereby appropriated for lease rentals are to pay the general obligations of the State incurred under valid lease contracts and such appropriations are to be paid from the general funds of the State as a first charge upon General Funds.

Section 55. All expenditures and appropriations made and authorized under this Act shall be according to the programs and activities as specified in the Governor's recommendations contained in the Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1984 regular session, as amended by the Governor's Amended Budget Report, except as otherwise specified in this Act; provided, however, the Director of the Budget is authorized to make internal transfers within a budget unit between objects, programs, and activities subject to the conditions that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred for use in initiating or commencing any new program or activity not currently having an appropriation of State funds, nor which would require operating funds or capital outlay funds beyond the fiscal year to which this Appropriations Act applies, and provided, further, that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred between objects without the prior approval of at least eleven (11) members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittees in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This Section shall apply to all funds of each budget unit from whatever source derived. The State Auditor shall make an annual report to the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of all instances revealed in his audit in which the expenditures by object class of any department, bureau, board, commission, institution or other agency of this State are in violation of this Section or in violation of any amendments properly approved by the Director of the Budget. In those cases in which the aforesaid Budget Report contains no recommendation by the Governor of expenditures as to objects, the Director of the Budget, except as to the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Government, is authorized to allocate as to object such funds as he deems proper, but

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29,1984

2735

he shall not approve any operating budget containing any such allocation until such shall be submitted and approved in the same manner and under the same conditions provided hereinbefore for transfers.
Section 56. Wherever in this Act the term "Budget Unit Object Classes" is used, it shall mean that the object classification following such term shall apply to the total expenditures within the Budget Unit, and shall supersede the object classification shown in the Governor's Budget Report.
Section 57. It is the intent of the General Assembly that for the purposes of this Act, (1) Authorized motor vehicles are defined as sedans, pick-up trucks, vans, station
wagons and any other such vehicles for street and highway use, and (2) The number of authorized motor vehicles indicated for each budget unit shall
include leased vehicles and State-owned vehicles, and (3) The Departments are not authorized to accept vehicles from surplus property to
increase the number authorized in this Act unless specifically approved by this General Assembly.
Section 58. There is hereby appropriated a specific sum of Federal grant funds, said specific sum being equal to the total of the Federal grant funds available in excess of the amounts of such funds appropriated in the foregoing sections of this Act, for the purpose of supplanting appropriated State funds, which State funds shall thereupon be unavailable for expenditure unless re-appropriated by the Georgia General Assembly. This provision shall not apply to project grant funds not appropriated in this Act.

Section 59. The Office of Planning and Budget is hereby directed to economize
wherever possible and in the event any part of the appropriations provided in the foregoing Sections of this Act shall be in excess of the actual approved budget allotments for
the fiscal year, the amounts so in excess, as determined by the Office of Planning and Budget, shall cease to be an obligation of the State.

Section 60. It is the intent of this General Assembly that cost-of-living increases effective July 1, 1984 and January 1, 1985 for retirees in the Employees Retirement System and for retirees in the Teachers Retirement System be limited to a maximum of $25.00 per month per retiree. In the event the Governor determines that the cost-of-living increases for retirees in either system cannot legally be so limited, this $25.00 per month limitation shall not apply to either system.
Section 61. TOTAL STATE FUND APPROPRIATIONS
State F.Y. 1985...................................................................................................$ 4.302.000,000.

(j) The county or counties comprising a judicial circuit may supplement the salary of any attorney appointed by a district attorney pursuant to this Code section, (k) (1) Each district attorney shall fix the compensation to be paid to each attorney appointed pursuant to this Code section in accordance with the class to which the attorney is appointed and the appropriate step of the salary schedule.

HR 696. By: Representatives Wilson of the 20th, Thompson of the 20th, Cooper of the 20th, Atkins of the 21st, Johnson of the 21st, and others: A RESOLUTION authorizing and directing the Department of Transportation to designate Interstate Highway 75 from the Chattahoochee River northward to the Georgia-Tennessee boundary line as the Lawrence Patton McDonald Memo-
rial Highway; and for other purposes.

The following Senate substitute was read:

2748

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A RESOLUTION
Authorizing and directing the Department of Transportation to designate Interstate Highway 75 from the Chattahoochee River northward to the Cobb County boundary line as the Larry McDonald Memorial Highway; designating the developmental highway, known as "Corridor Z," as the "Sun Belt Parkway"; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the Honorable Larry McDonald was born in DeKalb County, Georgia, on April 1, 1935; and
WHEREAS, he was educated in Georgia schools, received a doctorate in medicine from Emory University in 1957, and served his residency at Grady Memorial Hospital; and
WHEREAS, he served in his country's armed forces as a navy overseas flight surgeon from 1959 to 1961; and
WHEREAS, for many years he made his home in Cobb County, practicing medicine and serving in positions of honor and trust, which included membership on the State Medical Education Board, the National Historical Society, and the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce; and
WHEREAS, from January 1, 1975, until his untimely death aboard Korean Airlines Flight 007 on September 1, 1983, Larry McDonald served as a Representative from the Seventh United States Congressional District and as such he eloquently articulated the concerns of his fellow citizens; and
WHEREAS, Representative McDonald's tragic death as the result of a despicable, indefensible act of barbarism by a totalitarian regime has deprived the State of Georgia of one of its most outstanding native sons; and
WHEREAS, the State of Georgia wishes to preserve the memory of the sacrifice and service of this able and outstanding Georgian and it is only appropriate that the State of Georgia honor posthumously Larry McDonald by naming a portion of an interstate highway system in his memory; and
WHEREAS, the economic development of any community or geographic area is in great measure dependent upon the quality of the surface transportation facilities serving the community or area; and
WHEREAS, professional developers have determined that convenient access to the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways is among the most important of all locational determinants considered by those who make major investment decisions; and
WHEREAS, the economies of many South Georgia communities have been adversely affected by the fact that those communities are distant from the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways and have no convenient access to said system; and
WHEREAS, the economies of many South Georgia communities have also been adversely affected by the lack of adequate East-West surface transportation facilities as all such major facilities have a North-South orientation; and
WHEREAS, the members and the Board of the Georgia Department of Transportation, in an effort to relieve the adverse economic impacts attributable to the lack of a major East-West transportation corridor in South Georgia, have approved a route from Columbus, Georgia, to Brunswick, Georgia, as a developmental highway known as "Corridor Z"; and
WHEREAS, Governor Joe Frank Harris and the General Assembly have recognized the obvious merit of the Corridor Z project and its ultimate beneficial impact on the economies of communities of South Georgia and, thus, on the economy of the entire state, including Georgia's ports at Brunswick and Savannah, and have encouraged the Department of Transportation to persevere in its efforts to complete construction of the project as soon as possible; and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1984

2749

WHEREAS, the developmental highway, when completed, will include improved segments of several federal and state highways and, thus, unlike interstate highways, will not be known by the same name or route number from end to end; and
WHEREAS, this lack of a universal designation along the entire length of the developmental highway will diminish awareness of investors of its major significance; and
WHEREAS, such an action would have many benefits in that highway users, especially industrial and commercial users, would recognize the value of the highway in serving the entire southern portion of Georgia and would, thus, be more inclined to make investments in communities on or near the route; and
WHEREAS, it has been suggested to members of this body that it would be appropriate to name the highway the "Sun Belt Parkway."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to designate Interstate Highway 75 from the Chattahoochee River northward to the Cobb County boundary line as the Larry McDonald Memorial Highway.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to erect appropriate signs at appropriate locations to reflect the designation provided in this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the developmental highway from Columbus, Georgia, to Brunswick, Georgia, known as "Corridor Z," is designated as the "Sun Belt Parkway."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to place appropriate markers and signs designating the developmental highway, known as "Corridor Z," as the "Sun Belt Parkway," effective July 1, 1986.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the commissioner of transportation.

Representative Wilson of the 20th moved that the House agree to the Senate substitute to HR 696.

The following Senate substitute was read:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Committee to Study the Creation of Separate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Divisions; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, proponents of increased mental retardation services believe that services for the mentally retarded could better be provided through a separate Division of Mental Retardation; and
WHEREAS, the opponents maintain that the current structure of the Department of Human Resources results in both mental retardation services and mental health services receiving a fair share of the state's programmatic and financial resources; and
WHEREAS, the issue has been studied by the Department of Human Resources, which reached the conclusion that there are areas of concern that could be handled in

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1984

2767

ways that better support the mission of the Department of Human Resources but not of a sufficient magnitude to warrant the creation of a Division of Mental Retardation; and
WHEREAS, the commissioner of the Department of Human Resources is currently implementing a plan which will better handle these concerns; and
WHEREAS, the Senate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Study Committee studied the issues and determined that there should not at this time be a separate Division of Mental Retardation; and
WHEREAS, the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Subcommittee of the House Health and Ecology Committee held special hearings concerning this issue; and
WHEREAS, although many, if not most, of the questions surrounding the issue were answered, there still exist sufficient unanswered questions to warrant the creation of a joint committee to study further the issue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Committee to Study the Creation of Separate Mental Health and Mental Retardation Divisions to be composed of ten members. Five members shall be appointed from the House of Representatives by the Speaker thereof. Five members shall be appointed from the Senate by the President thereof.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall undertake a study of the problems mentioned above and any other problems related thereto and recommend necessary steps needed to be undertaken to alleviate any such problems. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than ten days. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of government. The committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, no later than January 1, 1985, at which time the committee shall stand abolished.

A RESOLUTION
Creating a study committee for a university system eminent scholars endowment trust fund; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the growth of the economy and the quality of life in the State of Georgia is dependent upon the improvement and advancement of the state's educational system; and
WHEREAS, the matter of the state's financial support of education has become a priority and focal issue of the 1984 General Assembly; and
WHEREAS, there is nothing more important to the quality of an institution of higher education than a strong faculty, a faculty which provides the creative spark that ignites all the other elements within the university to strive for excellence; and
WHEREAS, keen competition exists for outstanding scholars and teachers among the leading universities throughout the nation, such that the ablest people are attracted and retained by specially funded chairs; and
WHEREAS, the final report of the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance recommended that a plan for additional funding for quality improvement, above and beyond the instructional and research formula, be developed by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and that such a plan include the funding of chairs for distinguished faculty; and
WHEREAS, the states of Florida and Virginia have enacted successful incentive programs that encourage private financial support of chairs for eminent scholars in their state university systems, such programs providing state matching funds for private gifts and thereby creating attractive inducements for private donors to join the states in "partnerships for excellence" in higher education; and
WHEREAS, the design of such an incentive partnership program in Georgia would help meet the objective of enhancing the quality of higher education in the state by attracting increased amounts of private funds for the direct support of eminent faculty members.

body. The number of members of any hospital authority as of March 1^ 1984, may be increased by not more than two additional members by jthe adoption of a resolution of the members of the hospital authority, and such additional members shall be appointed through the same process used for filling vacancies which was m effect for such hospital authority on January 1^ 1984.

Copies of a resolution so adopted and any resolution adopted by the governing body providing for filling vacancies in the membership of the authority or making any changes in membership shall be filed with the department."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 31-7-95 thereof, providing funding for medical education provided by hospital authorities, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"31-7-95. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (.1) 'Designated teaching hospital' means a teaching hospital operated by other
than a hospital authority, which hospital agrees to contract with the state to offer or continue to offer a residency program approved by the American Medical Association, which program has at least 50 residents and which hospital operates a 24 hour, sevenday-per-week emergency room open to the public and which hospital files a semiannual statistical report consistent with those filed by other state-funded tertiary, neonatal, obstetrical centers with the Family Health Section of the Department of Human Resources.
(1) 'Hospital authority' means a hospital authority operating a teaching hospital which offers a residency program approved by the American Medical Association.
(2) 'Resident' means a physician receiving medical education and training through a teaching hospital operated by a hospital authority or designated teaching hospital. (b) The General Assembly finds that the major hospital authorities and designated teaching hospitals in this state provide a valuable service benefiting the entire state by operating teaching hospitals which provide necessary medical education and training for physicians; this service is provided through residency programs offered by these teaching hospitals. By the provision of residency programs operated by state teaching hospitals, the state has recognized its responsibility to fund the cost of training physicians; and it is the purpose of this Code section to recognize that the state has a similar responsibility when the medical education and training are provided by teaching hospitals operated by hospital authorities or by designated teaching hospitals. (c) For each resident receiving medical education and training through a teaching hospital operated by a hospital authority or designated teaching hospital, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia shall pay $10,000.00 per annum to the hospital authority or designated teaching hospital. Such payments shall be made based upon certifications by the hospital authorities or designated teaching hospitals to the board of regents. The board of regents is authorized to designate the Joint Advisory Board of Family Practice to promulgate rules and regulations specifying procedures for making the certifications provided for in this Code section and to establish a procedure for making payments to hospital authorities and designated teaching hospitals as provided herein. (d) The funds necessary to carry out this Code section shall derive from funds appropriated for such purpose to the board of regents. In the event the funds appropriated by the General Assembly are insufficient to fund the full amount payable to hospital authorities or designated teaching hospitals under subsection (c) of this Code section, the amount otherwise payable thereunder shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with the funds actually appropriated for such purpose. The local government or governments

2780

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

responsible for the governance or the financial support of the hospital authority or authorities shall provide a certified audit to the board of regents by September 29, 1980, and on the same date yearly thereafter, which shows clearly the exact amount of local funds contributed to the authority during the most recent full fiscal year of operation of the authority or authorities. No funds provided for in this Code section shall be distributed to any hospital or hospital authority if the local government's contribution in any year hereafter falls below the previous year's contribution as shown in the certified audit. The board of regents shall have the authority to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this Code section. As used in this subsection, the term "local funds" means in kind or cash contributions. The provisions of this subsection requiring certified audits of local fund contributions and prohibiting reduction in such contributions shall not apply to any designated teaching hospital. No additional teaching hospitals will be added until such funds have been made available for any additional teaching hospitals.
(e) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to amend, modify, supersede, or repeal Chapter 10 of Title 49."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without the Governor's approval, except that Section 2 of this Act shall become effective January 1, 1985.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
