Veto No. 13 - H. B. 1442 by Representatives Dover and Irvin of the llth
Tunis legislation relates to the appointment of judges of courts of municipalities to change the residence requirement for such judges. Because of a technical defect in the bill, the author has requested that this legislation be vetoed.

Veto No. 14 - S. B. 421 by Senator Timmons of the llth
This legislation provided that the Judge of the Probate Court of Calhoun County shall become the Chief Magistrate of the county. Because of a technical defect in the bill, the author has requested that this legislation be vetoed.

Veto No. 15 - H. B. 1472 by Representatives Coleman of the 118th, Buck of the 95th, and Richardson of the 52nd
This legislation relates to the jurisdiction of campus police. The author of this legislation requested that this bill be vetoed since it is very similar to the language of a senate bill. The parties affected by the legislation decided to support the senate bill.

Veto No. 16 - S. B. 385 by Senator Kidd of the 25th
This bill required the Board of Commissioners of Baldwin County to run from districts. Because of a technical defect in the legislation, the author of the bill has requested that this legislation be vetoed.

Veto No. 17 - H. B. 1373 by Representatives Rainey of the 135th, Murphy of the 18th, Burruss of the 20th, and others
This legislation would divest from counties and municipal corporations the ability to regulate the possession, ownership, transportation, carrying, transfer, sale, purchase or licensing of guns, firearms, ammunition or components of firearms and ammunition. However, this bill is flawed in that it contains an exemption for the City of Savannah from the requirements of this law so long as there is no change in its current local ordinance. I do not favor an exemption for one city in Georgia over others. Therefore, I am vetoing this legislation.

Veto No. 18 - H. B. 1205 by Representatives Caldwell of the 16th, and Childers and McKelvey of the 15th
This bill reapportions Districts 15, 16, 28 and 34 of the House of Representatives. Originally, this bill affected only the City of Rome, Georgia, and Floyd County, changing legislative Districts 15 and 16. However, an amendment was placed on this bill at the end of the session changing the configuration of House Districts 28 and 34.
While the original legislation was approved by the House Reapportionment Committee before passage by the House, the amendment was neither presented to the House Reapportionment Committee nor to the Fulton County Delegation. I have been requested by the House Reapportionment Committee, the Fulton County Delegation, and the author to veto this bill.

Veto No. 19 - H. B. 358 by Representatives Watson of the 114th, Adams of the 16th, Edwards of the 112th, and others
This legislation would limit the number of retail package liquor store licenses to a maximum of one license per 3,000 people with the exception that each city or county may issue a minimum of two licenses. The legislation grandfathers in all existing licenses issued by cities and counties to further restrict the number of licenses on a population basis.
While the expressed intent of the bill, to place a limit on the number of liquor stores in Georgia, is one with which I concur personally, nevertheless I believe the competitive market should make such a determination. Enactment of this legislation could create a monopoly for existing liquor store owners.
Local governments in Georgia have long controlled the licensing of liquor stores, and I do not feel that it is appropriate for the state to begin now to erode that authority. Therefore, I am vetoing this legislation.

Veto No. 20 - H. B. 1029 by Representatives Alien of the 127th, Triplett of the 128th, Hamilton of the 124th, and others
This legislation makes it unlawful for any parent or guardian knowingly to allow or permit a child under the age of 17 to loiter or remain in a public place between midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless he is accompanied by an adult or has "a legitimate excuse." The bill contains no definition of "a legitimate excuse," thus the measure would be completely unenforceable. Therefore, I am vetoing this legislation, but at the same time, I would like to commend the author of this bill for his well-intentioned efforts to encourage parental responsibility and provide protection for children during the hours when they are most likely to encounter harm if allowed to roam unattented.

Veto No. 21 - S. B. 246 by Senators Muggins of the 53rd, Bond of the 39th, Tate of the 38th, and others
This legislation creates a state record-keeping system to provide juvenile court judges in each county with information regarding prior convictions of a juvenile. This would supplement the voluntary system presently used by juvenile court judges.
During consideration of this measure, an amendment was added which would automatically seal the juvenile's record within six months of his eighteenth birthday, despite any previous record. In contrast, under current law, a record may be sealed two years after the juvenile is released from the system.
While it is the aim of the law to seal the record of a minor who corrects his life after a juvenile problem, it is equally apparent that the record of a juvenile who continues his life of crime after the age of majority is relevant and most informative to the legal community. This is true not only in investigating any future crimes, but also in making appropriate decisions regarding the safety and welfare of the person.
The automatic sealing of records in no way takes into account the needs of the adult systems when a juvenile continues his life of crime into adulthood. Existing law leaves to a qualified juvenile judge the decision as to whether information can be obtained by law enforcement officers. I support the current law; therefore, I must veto this legislation.

Veto No. 22 - H. B. 1067 by Representatives Barnes of the 90th, Padgett of the 86th, Cheeks of the 89th, and others
This legislation refers to purchase contracts awarded by the Department of Administrative Services. It expands the requirement that they go to the lowest bidder to provide that when comparing bids of a non-resident vendor with a resident vendor, the Department shall reduce the resident vendor's bid by the percentage equal to the percentage

22

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

reduction, if any, which the non-resident vendor's state applies to give preference to that state's resident vendor.
While this legislation is meant to protect Georgia vendors who must compete in other states against preferential treatment given to that state's residents, it is a further restriction of a normal competitive market. Additionally, the measure contains no definition of a "resident" of this state, a question with which other states with preferential laws have wrestled unsuccessfully until it was decided by the courts. Furthermore, a determination by the Department of Administrative Services as to how to apply to such preferential treatment would prove totally unmanageable. For these many reasons, I am vetoing this legislation.

Veto No. 23 - S. B. 367 by Senators McGill of the 24th, Walker of the 19th, Kennedy of the 4th, and others
This legislation would prohibit refiners, producers or manufacturers of automotive gasoline from opening or operating a retail gasoline station after July 1, 1985, unless they own the stations prior to February 20, 1984.
This bill sets a dangerous precedent in that it is an attempt to place limits on the free enterprise system and, in effect, restrict the competitive market. As a businessman myself, I am sympathetic to the needs and concerns of small businessmen who contend that major oil companies undercut the prices dealers can offer at their stations with lower prices at company-owned service stations. However, my experience as a businessman also leads me to reject any effort to set conditions on the marketplace. Signing this bill would send the wrong message to the business community, both in Georgia and across the nation.
No matter how helpful such legislation might be in the short run, in the long run, such restrictions would not be conducive to a healthy economy. In fact, the concept embodied in this measure might easily be expended to include other business products in the future with only a few changes in the wording. Georgia is known for its pro-business attitude which plays an important role in the continued investment activity and solid expansion of our economy. With these considerations in mind, I am vetoing this legislation.

Veto No. 24 - H. B. 94 by Representative Selman of the 32nd
This bill affecting the Peace Officers' Annuity and Benefit Fund allows the payment of disability benefits to peace officers who were previously members of POAB and who, upon becoming disabled, were denied disability benefits.
This bill allows one person, who has now retired, to receive benefits from the retirement fund. Since this bill does not require the person affected to perform any employment duties or make any employee contributions after its effect, the bill is unconstitutional as a gift or gratuity granted by the state. Consequently, I am vetoing this bill.

Veto No. 25 - S. R. 431 by Senator Reddish of the 6th
This resolution requested that the Department of Transportation designate the Owen G. Lee Parkway. At the request of the author, this resolution was vetoed.

Veto No. 26 - H. B. 886 by Representative Dobbs of the 74th
This bill requires all state agencies to pay all properly submitted invoices for the sale or lease of real or personal property or the sale of services within seven to 30 days of their receipt, depending upon the item purchased. Interest in the amount of one percent per month must be paid from agency funding, if payment is delayed.

As a businessman, I know the problems caused by delays in payments. We must strive, at the state level, to make prompt payments to our vendors. However, this is a matter that does not need to be addressed by legislation. State agencies, as with private businesses in our state, must be left free to deal on the open market without competitive restrictions. There are advantages and disadvantages to dealing with the state, and these are allowed for in the competitive bids of the vendors. As with bills restricting trade, I
must similarly veto this legislation.

Veto No. 27 - H. B. 464 by Representatives Ware of the 77th, Wood of the 9th, and Auten of the 156th
This bill amended certain provisions of the insurance code. Because of a technical defect, the author has requested that I veto this bill.

Veto No. 28 - H. B. 199 by Representatives Greer of the 39th, Adams of the 36th, Daugherty of the 33rd, and others
This legislation would delete the existing requirement that Supreme Court justices and Court of Appeals' judges retire at 70 years of age or else forfeit their retirement benefits. Also included in this measure are Superior Court judges who now must retire at the end of the term of office in which they reach the age of 70 or forfeit retirement benefits.
The mandatory retirement age was implemented for good cause several years ago. While many people in our society can and do maintain fruitful careers past the age of 70, age is nevertheless a limiting factor for others. I do not believe eliminating this requirement is in the best interest of the people of Georgia in the long run. I also contend that this bill is flawed in that it contains no limit on the age to which a judge or justice may continue to serve. Therefore, I must veto this legislation.

Veto No. 29 - H. B. 1163 by Representatives Thomas of the 69th, Johnson of the 70th, and Bolster of the 30th
This legislation provides for an exemption to local zoning restrictions to allow day care centers with six or fewer children to be located in residential areas. The intention of this bill is to facilitate the establishment of additional day care centers in residential areas to accommodate the multitude of children who need the service.
Although the purpose of this bill is laudable, the bill itself is unconstitutional in that it attempts to restrict city and county governmental authorities in their zoning power, authority which is not proper for the General Assembly under our State's Constitution. As a result of this fact, I am vetoing this legislation, but at the same time, I am requesting local governments to consider the intention of the General Assembly in making future decisions regarding zoning questions.

68

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

hearing an address from the Governor, was called to order by the President of the Senate, Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller.

The Resolution calling for the Joint Session was read.

Accompanied by the Committee of Escort and other distinguished guests, His Excellency, Governor Joe Frank Harris, appeared upon the floor of the House and delivered the following address:

Lieutenant Governor Miller, Speaker Murphy, members of the General Assembly, Dr. McDaniel and members of the Board of Education, Dr. Crawford and members of the Board of Regents, Dr. Breeden and members of the Vocational Education Board, members of the Governor's Education Review Commission, members of Georgians for Excellence in Education, ladies and gentlemen,
This is indeed a historic occasion, and I am humbled to be here today. Never before in the history of our State has a Governor of Georgia appeared before a joint session of the General Assembly to make an address on the topic of education.
I am here today to report on the state of education in Georgia, and I can tell you that education in Georgia is the best it has ever been and it is going to be even better...but the truth of the matter is education in Georgia is not good enough...and I will not rest until education is the best it can possibly be.
Today marks the beginning of the end of education as we have known it in the past. For too many years, we have let "minimum" or "adequate" be our standards, but after today, we will accept nothing less than "quality" as our standard and "excellence" as our goal.
On June 14, 1982, I stood in the rotunda of this capitol as a candidate for governor and announced my education platform. The centerpiece of that platform was the creation of an "Education Review Commission" which would be charged with the task of thoroughly analyzing and assessing public education.
I was convinced that our public education system was long overdue for fundamental changes, and I knew that the people of Georgia shared this belief. I also knew that the next Governor of Georgia would be judged more by what he did to improve public education than any other single issue or combination of issues.
During the first legislative session of my term, I introduced and this body approved legislation creating the Governor's Education Review Commission. When this commission was appointed in June of 1983, its membership - representing Georgians from all walks of life - set to work with a fervor and determination unequaled by any other effort I have witnessed during my 20 years of public service.
The Commission's legal charge was to define, once and for all, the components of a "quality basic education"; to determine the course of action to guarantee that quality education for every child in Georgia; and to recommend a method and plan of funding.
While the commission worked, you and I began rebuilding Georgia's education foundation. Let me recount the steps we have taken in the past two years to be ready for today.
From kindergarten to college, we have scrutinized our education system like never before. The attention of the public has been focused on education like never before. We have found things that were good,...things that were not good, and we have made basic changes and improvements throughout.
While some governors and legislative bodies in other states were designing education reform efforts to satisfy the evening news...and raising their state taxes...we in Georgia were designing a program to satisfy the needs of the next generation.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1985

We have witnessed two years of unprecedented appropriations of tax money to improve education. During these two years, you and I allocated nearly $600 million in new funds to education, and the results of the expenditure and effective management of those funds are already evident in every single area of public education.
We have made sizable gains in both the beginning teacher's salary and the average teacher's salary.
Last year, our public school teachers received the largest salary increase in over a decade, and we are now well on our way to having a salary structure that will attract the brightest college graduates to the teaching profession and monetarily reward them so that they will make a career of teaching.
For the first time in our history, our students in the fourth, eighth and tenth grades have exceeded the national norms on national achievement tests. Our students' average S.A.T. scores increased last year by two points in both the verbal and math portions of the test.
The number of students passing the high school basic skills test on their first attempt is continuing to increase, while the number of high school dropouts is decreasing.
A third grade promotion test and a tenth grade writing test are being developed, as well as a program for continuing to improve S.A.T. scores.
The State Board of Education has increased the Carnegie units for high school graduation, placing more emphasis on math, science and languages, and the State Board of Regents has mandated a rigorous pre-college curriculum.
Vocational education is benefitting from a new emphasis as a result of the creation of the Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education.
We have now addressed every major item recommended by the 1982 study committee on public higher education...and once again we have a capital expansion effort under way providing our university system with new construction and renovation on campuses throughout the state.
Our research institutions have won national recognition and acclaim, and last fiscal year, we reached a new high in research grants and contracts.
In addition to the enchancements and improvements to our educational infrastructure, there has been a new and vigorous effort devoted to expanding educational opportunities for all Georgians.
Through the various scholarship funds and programs administered by the Student Finance Commission, we have provided $120 million during the past two years to help students attend college. In fact, 26 percent of all the guaranteed loans made by the commission since 1965, have been made during my administration.
We now have a solid education foundation. We have made basic changes, we have altered our course and set our sights on higher goals.
Reaching this point has not been easy, nor has it been without controversy, but the path we have taken these past two years was absolutely necessary to prepare us for the fundamental changes which would result from a comprehensive review of our education system.
Today we are ready to accept the challenges posed by the Education Review Commission and to begin the task of implementing those recommendations.
Unlike all previous education studies...the full recommendations of the Education Review Commission are going to be considered...and they must be enacted. This education report must become reality and must not be placed on a shelf to gather dust.
I have never been more committed to any goal or more serious about any one issue in my entire life than to improving public education...and I do not believe there is anyone among

70

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

us who will be so selfish or so short-sighted as to participate in actions or initiate actions which will compromise these recommendations.
To do so will be to deny our children their birthright to the absolutely best education our tax dollars can provide, and will invoke the wrath of a demanding public.
The citizens of Georgia are anxious for a new approach to education and a better product from our education system. I know that you are no less committed than I am to giving them what they so rightly deserve.
I am not here today to point fingers or lay blame, but I am here today to say that two grave errors regarding public education have been made in past years.
First, we allowed education to be administered and delivered with very little accountability; and second, we let "minimum" and "adequate" programs determine our expectations.
Those days of less than best are gone. From this point forward, we are going to accept only the highest accountability and the highest standards of performance from our students.-.from our teachers...from our administrators...and from our school systems all 187 of them.
We have designed a system to achieve excellence, and we are going to fund that system so that our educators have the tools they need. It is as simple as that and as we improve public education, we will improve our whole state.
If there is anyone who has the gall to criticize significant new expenditures on education, or who will insinuate that these education expenditures diminish or prohibit efforts to enhance other areas of state government, I am calling your hand here and now: I challenge you to provide evidence that improving public education will in any way harm any other area of state government.
Improving and enhancing public education directly improves and enhances every department and area of state government...from corrections to law enforcement...from recreation to human services and from community development to industrial development.
As we begin phasing in the recommendations of the commission, one of the most fundamental changes will be in how we compensate and reward our educators and fund our programs.
We are going to implement new requirements at every level of the system - from students to teachers to administrators to schools and systems themselves. We are going to monitor performance rigorously,...we are going to reward outstanding performance and achievement,.,.and we are going to demand accountability in return.
Simply stated...there are going to be new standards...based on excellence...and these standards are going to be met no excuses accepted no exceptions allowed.
The concept of "accountability" is, admittedly, a revoluntionary concept when applied to the education system but it is a fundamental concept and a required practice in the business world where results determine rewards.
To those who would say that you cannot inject accountability into an education system...! say "watch us!"
I am fully aware that if we demand excellence, we are going to have to pay for it. And we will. After I complete my budget presentation tomorrow, I will have recommended more than $1 billion in new funds for education improvement in three years' time. There is no comparable record in Georgia's history.
Let me tell you now my plan of action for implementing the recommendations from the Education Review Commission.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1985

71

First, my floor leaders will today introduce legislation in both houses based on the final report from the commission. This legislation will replace "APEG" with what will be known as "QBE" - A "quality basic education" program which establishes "excellence" as the educational standard in Georgia.
Next, I will follow with written requests to the Board of Education, Board of Regents and Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education regarding the implementation of the commission's recommendations which do not require legislation. The majority of these recommendations will be addressed and implemented by the State Board of Education.
They include: Developing a career ladder for teaching personnel, and a
leadership/incentive responsibility program, Developing a training program for local school board members, Sharpening the focus on the role of vocational education and
strengthening its base, Beginning a professional development center for educators, Improving leadership training programs, Developing leadership performance assessment programs, Developing student writing tests in grades six and eight,
national comparison tests for students, and kindergarten assessment programs, Enacting a much improved statewide information network, Devising a quality basic education cost accounting system, Setting up a compensatory education eligibility and evaluation criteria, and developing a major revision of our public school standards.
In addition, I will ask the Board of Education to establish a program to encourage local systems to design and implement innovative projects that have the potential of improving our overall system of education if used on a statewide basis.
Funds to begin the development of every single one of these comprehensive programmatic changes are being included in my FY'86 budget recommendations.
I intend to see these initiatives developed and refined in the same thoughtful and thorough manner in which the review commission developed its recommendations - with involvement by a broad spectrum of educators and other citizens.
They will be implemented only after careful deliberation. In most cases they will have to be phased in, and, in some cases, they will be implemented only after successful testing on a pilot basis. But they must be implemented.
In addition to the legislative and board actions, tomorrow I will release my complete budget report for fiscal year 1986...which includes total spending for public schools that exceeds the Education Review Commission's first year funding recommendation of $153 million...by $78 million for a grand total of $231 million to support our first year program to achieve excellence in education.
For the third consecutive year, 60 percent or better of all new money has been allocated to education...and over 50 percent of the total state budget once again is education spending.
Now in salaries, the commission recommended $98 million in the school year starting next fall, but I am asking approval of $134,570,408 in salary increases for our public school teachers and other personnel...which will place all our educators on the same salary schedule once again.
The pay package I am recommending will provide our public school personnel with an average salary increase greater than 10 percent and will increase the average teacher salary to over $24,000!

72

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Also in our budget recommendations I am not ignoring other areas of state government. For all state employees I will also be recommending a 7 percent pay raise and for our university system personnel a 7 percent pay raise.
This financial package includes the implementation of an entirely new salary schedule for teachers. It is a bit complicated, so I want to carefully outline the proposal.
First, the Education Review Commission said that teacher salaries should be market sensitive. The commission recommended that in three years the beginning salary for teachers should be raised to $16,000...a salary level comparable to fellow graduates in other fields. I whole-heartedly agree, but we cannot wait.
I am today calling for increasing the beginning teacher's salary to $16,000...for the school year beginning this September...an increase of 11.7 percent, and the most dramatic increase in beginning teachers' salaries ever.
This is the single most important recommendation I am making directed at recruiting the best students to the field of education.
The new salary schedule I am proposing for teachers has seven experience steps and four longevity steps. Unlike the current schedule that provides smaller increases for years of service, the new schedule provides larger increases for the more experienced teachers.
The current schedule calculates a 2.5 percent increase each year against the salary index of the beginning teacher, but the new schedule provides a compounding element by computing the 2.5 percent increase against the previous year's salary similar to the schedule the merit system provides for state employees.
I am also recommending that we develop and fund at the state level a mandatory full day kindergarten in every school system in Georgia. The Education Review Commission found - and I agree - that this early childhood period is most critical in determining a child's later growth, development and learning potential.
It is the period in which the foundation is laid for the entire educational experience. Our kindergarten program will be designed to help children reap the maximum benefit from this early developmental period and to ensure that all children entering first grade have the chance to start with the same fundamental skills and abilities.
Some form of full day kindergarten is already provided on an optional basis and locally funded in 157 out of 187 school systems in Georgia. Because it is not required that all children attend kindergarten, our first graders start school with varying degrees of readiness. In effect, we have been guaranteeing the need for remedial education for some students throughout their educational career.
This recommendation by the commission is the one which has stirred the most comment and controversy controversy which is based on total misconceptions.
First, it does not mandate that a child be forced from home into a rigorous schedule at the age of five or six. The mandatory school age will remain age seven but unless a child has certain basic skills upon entering school, that child will begin the school career in kindergarten.
There is absolutely no requirement with respect to children at ages five or six. However, parents will have the right to choose public or private kindergarten for their children at these ages or to register as a home school and provide instruction in a home environment.
Second, the recommended program provides for only 4 and V4 hours of instruction per day. The remainder of the day will be spent on recreation and rest which is so important to a child's rapid growth at that age.
To prepare for the kindergarten program, I am recommending $27,321,611 to allow the hiring of 1,792 teachers and 1,792 aides for the expanded classroom load. I am also recommending $8 million to meet additional classroom needs and equipment requirements.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1985

A very important and overlooked fact is that these state funds will free up over $20 million of local effort being devoted to kindergarten in 157 school systems...$20 million that can now be devoted to other education needs locally.
Additional Review Commission recommendations in my budget proposal include $4,259,350 to increase maintenance and operation funds by 4 percent, from the current $2,150 per unit, to $2,235 per unit...and $1.4 million to implement for the first time ever an educational technology program, which includes $1 million in 3-to-l matching grants for computer equipment purchases for local systems.
I am also including $250,000 for scholarships for 250 of our top high school graduates who choose to attend one of our Georgia colleges in an effort to keep our best brains in Georgia.
Also for our public schools, I am recommending $94,175,000 in construction funds to build and equip school buildings and facilities. In addition, I am recommending to you our state's most ambitious program to improve libraries in history...$7,240,000 to construct or provide additions for 15 public libraries.
Including the increased funds to operate our public schools, the new construction funds, and the significant teacher pay raises, the total expenditure of new funds to improve the quality of our public schools is $340,665,438.
The importance of higher education in the total education spectrum has not been overlooked in my budget recommendations. In fact, I am recommending a major enhancement for our university system. Based on the regent's formula, combined new funds for our 33 colleges and universities will exceed $90 million next year, and including capital outlay, this figure approaches $150 million.
My budget recommendation includes $2,750,000 for a total of $5,500,000 in second-year funding for the effort to allow our research institutions to retain 100 percent of their research grants...$6,500,000 for new equipment purchases...and $3,500,000 for the secondyear of funding for our research consortium.
I am also asking you to approve $2,200,000 in cash to continue renovations of the Talmadge Memorial Hospital and $39,250,000 in bond proceeds to fund the Board of Regents' top 13 priorities at 12 different campuses.
These capital outlay funds, coupled with the recommendation I made to you in my amended budget of $5,425,000 for the continuing education center at the University of Georgia, and including a research announcement I will make tomorrow...provide the largest total construction funds for our university system in 21 years.
Equally significant, this recommendation fulfills the state's current desegregation commitment for capital construction on the campuses of Albany State, Fort Valley State, and Savannah State.
I am also asking your approval for $500,000 to begin an "emiment scholars program" in our university system. These funds will be used to match private donations and create a $1 million chair of microelectronics at Georgia Tech and a $1 million chair of biotechnology at the University of Georgia. I intend to expand the chairs of excellence program into other institutions in future budgets.
My recommendations to you for salary increases for educators, for new programs in education, for enhancement of existing programs, and for new construction of education facilities bring the grand total of new funds for education I have recommended in my first three budgets to over $1 billion...$l,006,548,385 to be exact.
The significance of this figure achieved without a tax increase should convince everyone that the priority of this administration is truly excellence in education.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

And as I stated earlier...for the first time, our education appropriations are being made in tandem with new and higher goals...new and higher levels of expectation...and with the new education byword accountability.
This, my friends, has been a brief review of my budget and legislative recommendations based on the report of the Education Review Commission. I cannot say enough in praise of these individuals who have given of their time and talents over the past 18 months to produce this report sacrificing time with their families and their own professions in a contribution toward the future of Georgia.
Their efforts resulted in the most comprehensive analysis of public education ever undertaken in the history of our state. The recommendations are a blueprint for the future. They are practical...timely...and balanced: practical because they are realistic and attainable;...timely, because they not only address today's deficiencies, but tomorrow's likely problems;...and balanced, because they recognize the dual role that reward and responsibility must have in enhancing the performance of students, teachers, and administrators.
But I would like to make one thing clear: all the new dollars, and all the new programs, won't make an ounce of difference without one simple but fundamental ingredient - and that is "commitment."
Commitment from parents, business people and local communities. Commitment from teachers, school principals and superintendents. Commitment from school board members and our Department of Education. Commitment from the State Board of Education and the Board of Regents.
But most of all...commitment from you and me....Without any reservation or equivocation, I want to state that there has never been a governor in the history of Georgia who has ever been more committed, more determined and more dedicated to seeing that a program passes than Joe Frank Harris is to seeing that this educational plan becomes law.
I pledge to the people of Georgia that I will use every element of persuasion, every bit of authority, and, if it takes it, every ounce of strength in my body to see that this plan is funded and implemented.
This is truly going to be the "year for education" in Georgia. Now you as members of the General Assembly have the power to make it happen. Once again, I ask you to join hands with me on behalf of the children of our great State of Georgia.
Thank You and God Bless You.

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 ?12,568 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.

nated 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 Per-
sonal 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 Gen-
eral 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); Code Section 20-2-160 and Code Section 20-2-159.
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 intellectually gifted students, and to assist in the development of a State program plan for

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, how-
ever, 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

Accompanied by the Committee of Escort and other distinguished guests, His
Excellency Governor Joe Frank Harris appeared upon the floor of the House and delivered the following address:

Lieutenant Governor Miller, Speaker Murphy, members of the General Assembly, members of the Appellate Courts, Constitutional officers, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It has been a year since I last reported on the condition of our State, and I am proud to be able to stand here today and report to you that the state of our State has never been better...and our future has never looked brighter!
As the fourth fastest growing State in the Nation, and the State with the second highest growth in per capita income, we have much to be grateful for.
Revenue growth in the first six months of this fiscal year is averaging more than 18 percent,...and our depleted revenue reserves will soon be refilled.
I recently announced that new and expanded capital investment in Georgia topped $11 billion in 1984, almost double the 1983 figures.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1985

185

We have climbed dramatically in the ranking of states with a positive climate for small business,...while home building and commercial construction in our State are outstripping the rest of the Nation.
As a result of these developments, over 140,000 jobs were created last year in the private sector, and our unemployment rate reached its lowest point in five years in November.
We have truly been blessed,...but we also have added to our success through good management, creativity, flexibility and innovation by State department and agency heads.
As you recall, I took office in a period of economic uncertainty,...and although we were looking for a projected upturn around every corner, a recession had us firmly in its grasp.
The situation required us to buckle down, trim our budgets, and find new ways to deliver services. "Teamwork" became the watchword of my administration.
For example, when new Labor Commissioner Joe Tanner took over that troubled department, one of his first actions was to set up a task force composed of representatives of 10 State agencies to review his organization...and to devise a management plan emphasizing efficiency and streamlined operations.
As a result of that task force's findings, I have introduced as part of my administrative package legislation to enact a significant reorganization of the State Labor Department.
Individually, all our State agencies and departments realized new levels of accomplishment during 1984. Today your State government is working better than ever.
For fiscal year 1986, I am recommending a budget totaling $4.838 billion - - an increase of $485,672,335 over the amended budget. This is the largest increase for any single budget in Georgia's history and is based on a projected revenue growth of 12.5 percent.
In my recommendations, I have made special efforts to enhance programs and activities which directly impact economic development.
One of my campaign commitments was to implement a sound economic development program that would produce long-term, sustainable growth to carry us through the next decade and into the 21st century.
Foremost among the tools to produce such growth is education. Yesterday I presented my recommendations for improving public education in Georgia. Enactment of these recommendations is essential, and when coupled with other economic development efforts, sustained growth will be assured.
Last year, for the first time ever, you funded a coordinated economic development package totaling $81 million. This year, I am recommending a $142 million economic development package.
This package has three primary objectives:
First, to enhance basic government services that are essential for growth;
Second, to provide State investments that will stimulate private development and create jobs.
And third, to focus our efforts on areas of slow growth and declining employment opportunities.
I am putting agriculture in the spotlight for the first time in many years. I am proposing legislation and $600,000 to create the Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority to plan and design an Agricultural Exposition Center in middle Georgia.
This center will enhance our agricultural ventures and farm economy year-round...and attract tourists from across the southeast.

186

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Although Georgia farmers are among the leaders in productivity in our Nation, international markets for our farm products have not been properly explored.
In conjunction with the Department of Agriculture's new efforts to boost the sale of Georgia products, I invited a trade mission from the People's Republic of China to come to Georgia. That trip resulted in the sale of $22 million worth of Georgia soybeans.
To continue the promotion of Georgia agricultural products, I am recommending that we establish an overseas trade office for the Georgia Department of Agriculture in Brussels.
To further develop our State's foreign trade opportunities,...! am recommending funds to set up a trade office in Seoul, Korea to be operated jointly by the Department of Industry and Trade and the Georgia Ports Authority....Georgia will thus become the first State to establish a trade office in Korea,...and I believe this will bring our State and our Nation a host of new trade opportunities.
Although Georgia's forest industry boosts our economy by $7 billion a year and provides 74,000 jobs, we must take steps to ensure the industry's future health. Currently we are harvesting more timber than we are replanting, and this trend is projected to increase.
Thus, I am requesting $391,040 to add 12 foresters across the State to encourage small landowners to replant land immediately after timber is harvested...and to use marginal crop land for timber growing.
And, finally, to let the rest of the world know of Georgia's forest products industry, I am recommending that the Department of Industry and Trade launch a special effort to promote the export of Georgia's forest products.
In my amended budget proposal, I recommended funds for several new projects to promote tourism in Georgia including a major expansion at Lake Lanier Islands.
Amicalola Falls State Park is another north Georgia facility that has great tourist potential. I am recommending $6.5 million in bonds to build a completely self-supporting resort development there.
In a related area of our natural resources, I am recommending $1,088,767 to increase State funds to offset a federal funds reduction in wildlife management areas.
To promote the use of State recreational facilities and parks, I am recommending a tourist and marketing specialist for the Department of Natural Resources.
I am further directing the Departments of Natural Resources and Industry and Trade to study the possibility of end-destination tourism facilities in other regions of the State, such as southwest Georgia.
To further encourage tourism, I am recommending a five-year ad campaign to promote Georgia as a tourist destination State, and to recruit industry. This will increase the advertising budget of the Department of Industry and Trade to $3,000,000 next year.
My budget recommendation also includes $1,667,500 for the Public Service Commission to conduct audits to evaluate plants Vogtle, Hatch and Scherer, and $686,579 to expand the staff capabilities of the commission.
A major inducement to new and expanding industry is Georgia's nationally-known quick start program. Last year, quick start supported 120 new projects representing $2.1 billion in capital investment and thousands of new jobs.
This year, I am recommending $2.8 million to continue this fine program which is projected to serve 130 companies and almost 11,000 workers.
Adequate local services also play an important role in attracting industries to our State. To help small communities build needed environmental facilities, I am asking you to

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1985

187

increase funding of a combined water/sewer/solid waste grant program to $8,000,000 next year.
I want to reemphasize my commitment to the local government water and sewer revolving loan program initiated last year through the Georgia Development Authority. Unfortunately, an impending court case and its possible impact on the $30 million authorized for the current year have delayed start-up.
Pending the supreme court decision, an alternative method of providing financial assistance for local water and sewer projects may be required and, if so, it will be presented in my 1986 amended budget proposal.
Transportation is a key to economic expansion, and two developmental highways, now partially constructed, will stimulate growth. These are the Appalachian highway in north Georgia, and Corridor Z in south Georgia.
I am recommending that the State undertake an intensified three-year program to complete these two highways. The total project will cost $165,000,000. Forty million dollars will be needed in each of the next three years for a total of $120 million. The remaining funds will come from motor fuel taxes, federal and other sources.
Although you will see these funds in my recommended FY 1986 budget, I met with your leadership last week, and I agreed to support a portion of the bond funds in my FY '85 amended budget.
Last year we consolidated several developmental efforts within the Department of Transportation into a new $30 million program to construct industrial access roads, developmental highways, four lane and passing lane improvements. In addition to the $40 million developmental effort for Appalachian and Corridor Z, I am recommending that we increase this program to $32 million for the upcoming year.
By combining federal bridge monies with State motor fuel funds, I am proposing a $40,000,000 program for local roads and bridge rehabilitation, and I have once again set an annual goal of repairing 10 percent of the State highway system with a $50,000,000 program.
Also in transportation, I am recommending $1,270,000 to continue the local airport development program and $243,000 for air traffic control projects. An additional $3 million in bond funds for maintenance of the Savannah Harbor will allow our port operations to continue the dramatic tonnage increase they saw last year.
Other parts of my economic development program include:
The expansion of small and minority business programs we initiated last year;
The further development of the commercial shellfish industry in our coastal region;
The investigation of the commercial feasibility of several valuable minerals found in various parts of the State;
And the initiation of several major economic studies to determine what industries hold the most promise for the more remote regions of the State.
The economic program I have outlined thus far includes substantial support for our existing industries - agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, forest products, transportation, and others - the backbone of our State's economy. But we also must look to the future and initiate actions that will provide jobs and a high standard of living for our future generations.
Last year, we took the first step in an aggressive campaign to capitalize on our universitylevel research and to attract high technology industry. You approved the funding for the

188

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Georgia Research Consortium which was used to make the down payment on the purchase of a $10 million super-computer for the University of Georgia's center for advanced computation. This year's budget includes the second $3.3 million payment for this project.
As our next substantive step in this campaign, I am recommending that we build and equip a $30 million microelectronics center at Georgia Tech. This total includes $15 million in State funds which will be matched dollar for dollar from private and federal funds over the next five years to complete the project.
Yesterday I also announced the creation of a $1,000,000 chair of microelectronics at Tech, and I am convinced beyond doubt that these investments will pay significant long-term dividends by encouraging the relocation of high technology companies and the creation of new firms in this field.
While reaching toward the future, we must not overlook the less fortunate among us. Therefore I am recommending several budget items to meet the needs of our disadvantaged citizens.
For the A.F.D.C. program I am recommending an increase of 7 percent at a cost of $5 million. This increase will offset the effects of inflation, and for the first time in recent memory, allow for a real increase in benefits.
Also in the area of human services, I am recommending $2,665,283 to expand the community care for the elderly act which we began last year. State funds will be matched with medicaid funds to allow us to screen 19,900 individuals and serve 6,250 older Georgians in their own homes.
The Department of Human Resources' campaign to prevent child abuse called "Its OK to Tell" has attacted State and National attention. Child abuse is a profoundly sad problem that must be dealt with in the strictest manner. To expand our capability to investigate complaints of abuse and neglect in child care facilities and to increase social services for the protection of children, I am recommending $3,323,410 in additional funds.
Included in this amount is $329,000 for the Georgia Council on Child Abuse, Inc., to set up four regional offices in Albany, Athens, Savannah, and Warner Robins. Additionally, I am recommending $1,148,389 to increase the rates paid for residential care of children currently in the custody of the State.
For the protection and care of mentally ill and retarded Georgians,...! am recommending $1,787,916 in State, federal and other funds to provide community residential placements and support services to 260 individuals.
One of the most significant proposals I am recommending to you is a new program to treat alcoholism. As you know, we have waged an aggressive public awareness campaign to focus attention on the problems caused by drunk drivers,...and we have enacted tougher penalties for DUI. As a result, there has been a 15 percent decrease in alcohol-related traffic fatalities.
But these efforts will not be effective in the long run unless services are made available to treat alcohol abusers once they are identified. Consequently, I am proposing a four-year plan to provide alcohol treatment services on a Statewide basis.
The plan will link existing hospital and community services much more effectively...and will significantly expand community programs so that those needing treatment can be served close to home, thus encouraging more support from family and friends.
For fiscal year 1986, $1,438,758 in State and federal funds are recommended to begin the first phase of the program in the southwest and northwest portions of the State.
In a recent presentation before the joint Appropriations committee, I outlined a new health program that will expand medicaid coverage to children under 18 years of age...and pregnant women in intact households who have earnings beyond the welfare level,...but do

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1985

189

not earn enough to afford adequate medical care. These people have been left out of the system for too long, and I am strongly recommending this very important program.
Also in mcdicaid, I am seeking $1,425,330 to improve health screening and preventive services for needy children, and $5,029,611 to raise rates to compensate providers for inflationary increases.
As I reported to you recently, our prison population continues to grow. To meet this demand for more prison space, you are now considering proposals to build two new prisons and complete the renovation of Georgia State prison at Reidsville.
To help relieve pressure on our State prison system and to offer greater local support, I am recommending that the county subsidy for jails be increased to $8 per day, that the popular grants for local jails program be raised to $500,000, and that grants for county work camp construction be increased to $1 million.
In a related effort to decrease the demand for prison beds, I am recommending $3,840,898 for programs related to alternatives to incarceration, including funds for community service officers to meet the mandates of legislation requiring community service for certain offenses.
Also in law enforcement, I am recommending $971,973 to fund 29 positions as the initial staff for the Georgia Public Safety Training Center. Some $33.5 million in construction is currently under way at the center which should be open January 1986, six months ahead of schedule.
A serious problem in law enforcement continues to be drug trafficking, which involves an illegal economy almost twice the size of the State budget. Our strike force on drug suppression, combining the manpower and equipment of six State agencies in the war on drugs, seized and destroyed over 125,000 marijuana plants...with a street value of over $106 million during the 1984 growing season.
To increase our efforts against drug trafficking, I am recommending an additional $881,071 to add 18 positions for the GBI.
This concludes the overview of my recommendation for the 1986 budget. It is a budget which addresses the current and future needs of our State in the most efficient and effective way possible, and it is based on a solid revenue projection for the coming year.
It builds on the meaningful improvements made in my previous two budget presentations to you...and sets in place some important new initiatives designed to prepare us for the future in high technology, exporting, agriculture, tourism, transportation and human services.
During the past two years, we have worked together to keep our State government on a sound financial footing.
Yesterday, we embarked on a course of educational reform which will restore confidence in our public schools.
Today, I ask you to continue working with me to foster development and promote the prosperity Georgians so richly deserve.
I am pleased to be able to join hands with you in pursuit of the goal of a greater Georgia - a Georgia where each and every child can obtain a quality basic education; a Georgia where a variety of job opportunities exist; a Georgia where recreation options abound; a Georgia which provides for the health and medical needs of the elderly,...the young, and the disadvantaged.
When I took office, I said that I wanted to be the Governor who would make Georgia a place where children could grow up to fulfill their parents' dreams for them. Together we are building that Georgia - you can take pride in your past accomplishments - we will be

190

condemnation shall be proceedings in rem against the property, and the property shall

For grants to counties for aid in county road construction and maintenance to be distributed and disbursed to various counties of the State by the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services in the same proportional basis to each county as the proportion of each county's total public road mileage is to the total public road mileage in the State, as such mileage information is furnished by the Department of Transportation.
Provided, further, that a member of the governing authority of the county, designated by such authority, shall submit to the State Auditor a copy of its regular annual audit not later than six months after the end of the fiscal year for which such audit is made.

To amend Chapter 3 of Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to certificates of title, security interests, and liens, so as to provide that certain trailers shall not be required to obtain a certificate of title; to provide that it shall not be necessary for certain applications for certificates of title to show the previous owner; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

even though incidentally used on the highway or used for purpose of testing or demonstration; or a vehicle used by a manufacturer solely for testing; except that all dealers acquiring new vehicles after July 1, 1962, from a manufacturer for resale shall obtain such evidence of origin of title from the manufacturer as the commissioner shall by rule and regulation prescribe;

For purposes of this paragraph, a model year begins on September 1 of each year.
(B) The owner of any vehicle which has a valid certificate of title and which becomes subject to the exclusion provided in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph may retain the certificate of title. Each subsequent transferee of any vehicle covered by subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, for which the certificate of title has been retained, may obtain a certificate of title by complying with Code Section 40-3-31. However, the failure of any subsequent transferee to comply with Code Section 40-3-31 shall preclude transferees subsequent to that transferee from obtaining a certificate of title. The Department of Revenue shall maintain such records as may be necessary to allow owners to obtain a certificate of title under this subparagraph. No certificate of title authorized to be issued under this paragraph shall be issued under Code Section 40-3-28.
(C) (i) A security interest in or lien against a vehicle which is subject to the exclusion provided for in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph and which is perfected on or before the date such vehicle becomes subject to the operation of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall lapse unless a notice of such security interest or lien is filed with the commissioner within 30 days from the date such vehicle becomes subject to the exclusion provided for in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph.
(ii) A security interest in or lien against a vehicle which is subject to the exclusion provided for in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph and which arises after such vehicle becomes subject to the operation of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph may be perfected in the same manner as such security interests and liens are perfected on vehicles required by this chapter to have certificates of title,
(iii) The transferee of any vehicle which is subject to the exclusion provided for in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, regardless of whether that vehicle has a certificate of title issued pursuant to subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, shall take such vehicle subject to any security interest or lien perfected under this paragraph;; or (15) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, a trailer with an unladen gross weight of 2,000 pounds or less. (B) The exclusion provided in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall not apply to a travel trailer or camper, regardless of its unladen gross weight."

"40-3-22. (a) The application for the first certificate of title of a vehicle in this state shall be made by the owner to the commissioner on the form he prescribes. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section, the application must be submitted to the commissioner or his appropriate authorized county tag agent by the owner of the vehicle within 90 days from the date of purchase of the vehicle or from the date the owner is otherwise required by law to register the vehicle in this state. If he does not submit his application within that time, the owner of the vehicle shall be required to pay a penalty of $10.00 in addition to the ordinary title fee provided for by this chapter. If the documents submitted in support of the title application are rejected, the party submitting the documents shall have 60 days from the date of rejection to resubmit the documents required by the commissioner for the issuance of a certificate of title. Should the documents not be properly resubmitted within the 60 day period, there shall be an

Such application shall contain:
(1) The name, residence, and mailing address of the owner; (2) A description of the vehicle, including, so far as the following data exists: its make, model, identifying number, type of body, the number of cylinders, and whether new or used; (3) The date of purchase by the applicant and, except as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Code section, the name and address of the person from whom the vehicle was acquired^ and the names and addresses of the holders of all security interests and liens in order of their priority and the date thereof; and (4) Any further information the commissioner reasonably requires to identify the vehicle and to enable him to determine whether the owner is entitled to a certificate of title and the existence or nonexistence of security interests in the vehicle and liens on the vehicle. (b) If the application refers to a vehicle purchased from a dealer, it shall contain the name and address of the holder of any security interest created or reserved at the time of the sale by the dealer and the date of his security agreement. The application shall be signed by the dealer as well as the owner, and the dealer shall promptly mail or deliver it to the commissioner or his appropriate authorized county tag agent so as to have the application submitted to the commissioner or his appropriate authorized county tag agent within 90 days from the date of the sale of the vehicle. If the application is not submitted within that time, the dealer, or in nondealer sales the transferee, shall be required to pay a penalty of $10.00 in addition to the ordinary title fee paid by the transferee provided for in this chapter. If the documents submitted in support of the title application are rejected, the dealer submitting the documents shall have 60 days from the date of initial rejection to resubmit the documents required by the commissioner for the issuance of a certificate of title. Should the documents not be properly resubmitted within 60 days, there shall be an additional penalty of $10.00 assessed against the dealer. The willful failure of a dealer to obtain a certificate of title for a purchaser shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of the dealer's state issued license and registration for the sale of motor vehicles. (c) (1) If the application refers to a vehicle last previously registered in another state or country, the application shall contain or be accompanied by:
{1} (A) Any certificate of title issued by the other state or country; and {2} (B) Any other information and documents the commissioner reasonably requires to establish the ownership of the vehicle and the existence or nonexistence of security interests in it and liens against it. (2) If the application refers to a vehicle last previously registered in another state and if the applicant is the last previously registered owner in such state, the application need not contain the name and address of the person from whom the vehicle was acquired."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

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

434

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

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 be 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. 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 ten 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, 1986, and on that date the committee shall stand abolished.

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 103, nays 2.
The Resolution, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was adopted.

The board of registrars, in addition to the main office, shall designate other fixed places throughout the county as would be reasonably necessary to receive applications for registration and for the registration of electors. In any county having a population of more than 100,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1960 or any such future census, the chief registrar in each even-numbered year shall designate and staff, on a full or part-time basis, additional voter registration places within the county at least six months prior to the voter registration deadline for the November election in that year. These additional offices for registration will have fixed hours of operation.

The registrar shall determine and place on the official electors list each elector's proper congressional district, state Senate district, state House district, county commissioner district, if any, and county board of education district, if any, and, if the county maintains the electors list for municipalities within the county, the registrar shall also determine the proper city commission, city council, or other such municipal district for all electors residing in such municipalities. Any person whose name appears on 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 21-2-235. The registrar shall purge such list before filing the names of all persons who will not be qualified to vote at such primary or election. All electors on such list shall have the same rights as to the primaries and elections held subsequent to primaries or elections as persons on the list for the preceding November election."
Section 10. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 21-2-228, relating to registration of persons to vote in special primaries and elections, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 21-2-228 to read as follows:

A certified list so prepared, arranged alphabetically, and divided according to precincts as in the case of November election lists shall be filed with the clerk of the superior court and the Secretary of State within ten days after the call of such special primary or election. The registrars shall determine and place on the official electors list each elector's proper congressional district, state Senate district, state House district, county commissioner district, if any, and county school board district, if any, and, if the county maintains the electors list for municipalities within the county, the registrar shall also determine the proper city commission, city council, or other such municipal district for all electors residing in such

municipalities. It shall be the duty of the registrars upon the call of a special primary or election to purge the list of electors prepared for the last November election of any names subsequently disqualified for any reason and to furnish the poll officers of such special primary or election two lists, one composed of the names of electors entitled to vote by reason of their registration for the last November election and the other made up of the names of those entitled to vote by reason of their subsequent registration as provided in Code Section 21-2-227, subject to the limitations prescribed in the proviso contained in the first sentence of Code Section 21-2-235.

"21-2-233. The registrars, not later than the voter registration deadline for the November election in each even-numbered year, shall begin the work of perfecting a true and correct list of the electors of their county for use in such election. They shall place on such list only those persons they have found to be prima facie qualified to vote and those persons whom they shall subsequently find to be prima facie qualified to vote. In preparing such list, they shall examine the lists of disqualified persons furnished them and, if any applicant's or elector's name is found thereon, they shall not place his name on the electors list. If the information comes to them after the preparation and filing of the list, they shall call upon him to show cause why it should not be removed from the list. They shall also indicate on such list the names of those electors who are eligible to receive assistance in voting and who have notified the registrars of such eligibility. The registrars shall determine and place on the official electors list each elector's proper congressional district, state Senate district, state House district, county commissioner district, if any, and county school board district, if any, and, if the county maintains the electors list for municipalities within the county, the registrar shall also determine the proper city commission, city council, or other such municipal district for all electors residing in such municipalities. The registrars shall proceed with their work of perfecting such list of electors and shall complete the same as soon as practicable but in no event later than five days prior to the November election. On July 1, 1981, all registered electors of any municipality of this state lying wholly within the boundaries 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 are not registered voters of such county, shall be added to the voter registration list of such county.

This repayment shall be in addition to the balance due on bonds that have already been issued for advance construction of the Interstate System.
It is understood by the General Assembly that the amount to be repaid to the State by the Department of Transportation in any form shall be limited to the amount received from the Federal Government arising from Federal participation on the Interstate Advance Construction Projects.
Appropriation of State funds in the foregoing Department of Transportation budgets shall be in conformity with and pursuant to Article III, Section IX, Paragraph VI, subsection (b) of the State Constitution, and shall be in an amount at least equal to all money derived from motor fuel taxes received by the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services in the immediately preceding year, less the amount of refunds, rebate and collection costs authorized by law. The fiscal officers of the State are hereby directed, as of July 1 of each fiscal year, to determine the net collection of motor fuel tax received by the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services in the immediately preceding fiscal year and enter the full amount so determined on the records of the State as being the appropriation payable in lieu of the amount appropriated herein.
Provided, however, that objects for Activities financed by Motor Fuel Tax including Planning and Construction, Maintenance and Betterments, Authority Lease Rentals, General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund Payments, Administration, and Grants to Counties, may be adjusted for any additional appropriations and/or balances appropriated and brought forward from previous years as requested by the Department of Transportation and approved by the Office of Planning and Budget.

For the cost of road and bridge construction and surveys, maintenance and improving the State Highway System of roads and bridges, and the costs incident thereto provided all expenditures for county contracts shall be in accordance with and on the basis of average prices authorized by law. Provided, however, that funds shall be allocated to matching all Federal aid funds prior to the allocation of any funds for other works, and the Department of Transportation may add, delete and substitute Federal aid projects to secure the full benefit of the Federal aid program. Provided, further, that in order to meet the requirements of the Interstate System, the Office of Planning and Budget is hereby authorized and directed to give advanced budgetary authorization for the letting and execution of highway contracts essential to and included in such Interstate Program not to exceed the amount of State Motor Fuel Tax Revenues actually paid into the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services and constitutionally appropriated to the Department of Transportation.
For lease rental obligations of the Department of Transportation to the Georgia Highway Authority and the Georgia Building Authority in accordance with lease rental contracts now in existence and for appropriations to the 'State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund' for the specific purpose of paying annual debt service requirements on new General Obligation debt to finance the construction or reconstruction of public roads and bridges approved by the Department of Transportation.
For grants to counties for aid in county road construction and maintenance to be distributed and disbursed to various counties of the State by the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services in the same proportional basis to each county as the proportion of each county's total public road mileage is to the total public road mileage in the State, as such mileage information is furnished by the Department of Transportation.

(f) A person professing to practice chiropractic for compensation must bring to the exercise of that person's profession a reasonable degree of care and skill.

"40-5-55. (a) The State of Georgia considers that the persons who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs while operating a motor vehicle or who have a blood alcohol content of 0.12 percent or greater while operating a motor vehicle constitute a direct and immediate threat to the welfare and safety of the general public. Therefore, any person who operates a motor vehicle upon the highways ef or elsewhere throughout this state shall be deemed to have given consent, subject to Code Section 40-6-392, to a chemical test or tests of his blood, breath, or urine or other bodily substances, for the purpose of determining the alcoholic or drug content of his blood if arrested for any offense arising out of acts alleged to have been committed in violation of Code Section 40-6-391. The test or tests shall be administered at the request of a law enforcement officer having reasonable grounds to believe that the person has been driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon the highways ef or elsewhere throughout this state in violation of Code Section 40-6-391. Subject to Code Section 40-6-392, the requesting law enforcement officer shall designate which of the aforesaid tests shall be administered.
(b) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or otherwise in a condition rendering him incapable of refusal shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection (a) of this Code section, and the test or tests may be administered, subject to Code Section 40-6-392.
(c) If a person under arrest refuses, upon the request of a law enforcement officer, to submit to a chemical test designated by the law enforcement officer as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section, no test shall be given; but the department, upon the receipt of a sworn report of the law enforcement officer that he had reasonable grounds to believe the arrested person had been driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon the highways ef or elsewhere throughout this state in violation of Code Section 40-6-391 and that the person had refused to submit to the test upon the request of the law enforcement officer, shall in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act,' and except as otherwise provided in this Code section, notify the person that his license is to be suspended, subject to review as
provided for in this chapter.

616

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(d) The person so notified may request a hearing within ten days from the date of receipt of notice sent by certified mail. Within 30 days after receiving a written request for a hearing, the department shall hold a hearing as is provided in Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.' After such hearing, the department shall sustain its order of suspension or rescind such order. If no hearing is requested within the ten days specified above, the right to a hearing shall have been waived and the license of the driver shall be suspended.
(e) If the suspension is sustained after such a hearing, the person whose license has been suspended under this Code section shall have a right to file for a judicial review of the department's final decision, as provided for in Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'; while such appeal is pending, the order of the department shall not be stayed."
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking subparagraph (c)(l)(B) of Code Section 40-5-57, relating to suspension and revocation of licenses, and inserting in lieu thereof a new subparagraph (B) to read as follows:
"(B) The commissioner shall suspend the driver's license of any person who has accumulated a violation point count of 15 or more points in any consecutive 24 month periodj as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained. A second or subsequent plea of nolo contendere, within the preceding five years2 as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the most current arrest for which a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, to a charge of committing an offense listed in this subsection shall be considered a conviction for the purposes of this Code section. At the end of the period of suspension, the violation point count shall be reduced to zero points."
Section 4. Said title is further amended by adding between Code Section 40-5-57 and Code Section 40-5-58 a new Code Section 40-5-57.1 to read as follows:
"40-5-57.1. (a) Any person who has such points assessed against him as to require the suspension of his license pursuant to Code Section 40-5-57 shall have his license suspended as follows:
(1) Upon a first assessment of the requisite points, the period of suspension shall be one year, provided that at any time after 60 days of suspension, such person may apply to the department for the return of his license;
(2) For a second assessment of the requisite points within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of suspension shall be three years, provided that at any time after 90 days of suspension, such person may apply to the department for the return of his license; and
(3) For a third assessment of requisite points within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, such person shall be considered a habitual violator, and his license shall be revoked as provided for in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-62.

determine whether the sale of alcoholic beverages in the unincorporated areas of the county or in a municipality shall be prohibited on election days; to provide for the requirements and procedures for holding the referendum election; to provide for county or municipal ordinances or resolutions prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days in certain situations; to provide for subsequent referendum elections; to provide for other matters relative thereto; to repeal Code Section 21-3-476 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to selling or buying alcoholic beverages on primary or election days; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 3-3-20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to sales of alcoholic beverages on certain days, Is amended by striking subsection (b) which reads as follows:
"(b) (1) As used in this subsection, the term: (A) 'Day' means that period of time beginning with the opening of the polls and
ending with the closing of the polls. (B) 'Local election" means any election which is not a state-wide primary or
state-wide general election or a runoff held for such primary or general election. (2) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, no person knowingly and intentionally shall sell or offer to sell alcoholic beverages on any election day. The prohibition of this subsection shall apply only within the territorial boundaries for which the election is held but such territorial boundaries shall not include any property owned or operated by a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state for airport purposes if no person resides on such publicly owned or operated property.
(B) The local governing authority of any county in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized and the local governing authority of any municipality in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized may, by ordinance, resolution, or referendum, authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages on local election days.", and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows: "(b) (1) Upon a written petition containing the signatures of at least 15 percent of the registered and qualified voters in the unincorporated area of any county being filed with the election superintendent of the county or upon a written petition containing the signatures of at least 15 percent of the registered and qualified voters in any municipality being filed with the election superintendent of the municipality, such superintendent, upon validation of the petition, shall be required to call and hold a referendum election for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters of the unincorporated area of the county or of the municipality, as the case may be, the question of whether the sale of alcoholic beverages shall be prohibited on election days. The petition shall state whether the prohibition is to apply to local elections or state-wide elections, or both. Such petition shall not be amended, supplemented, or returned after its presentation to the appropriate authority. Validation shall, for the purposes of this subsection, be the procedure in which the election superintendent determines whether each signature on the petition is the name of a registered and qualified voter. (2) For the purposes of this subsection, the required number of signatures of registered voters shall be computed based on the number of voters qualified to vote at the general election immediately preceding the presentation of the petition. Actual signers of the petition shall be registered and qualified to vote in the referendum election sought by the petition. Upon determining that the petition contains a sufficient number of valid signatures, the election superintendent shall set the date of the referendum election for not less than 30 nor more than 60 days after the call. The referendum may be held as a special referendum election or may be held at the time of holding any other primary or election in such county or municipality if such other primary or election is to be held not more than 60 days after the call. (3) Notice of the call for the referendum shall be published by the election superintendent in the official organ of the county or, in the case of a municipality, in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. The election superintendent shall

628

(4) (A) The ballot shall have printed thereon the following:

'( ) YES ( ) NO

Shall the governing authority of ________ (county or municipality, as the case may be) prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days?'

(B) All persons desiring to vote in favor shall vote 'Yes,' and those persons opposed shall vote 'No.' If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are in favor of prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days, the governing authority of the county or municipality, as the case may be, shall by ordinance or resolution, prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in the unincorporated area of the county or in the municipality, as the case may be, on election days. If held as a special election, it shall be the duty of the election superintendent to hold and conduct such election under the same rules that govern special elections as provided in Title 21. It shall be his further duty to canvass the returns and declare and certify the results of the election to the Secretary of State. The expense for the election shall be borne by the county or municipality conducting the election. (5) Following the expiration of two years after any referendum election is held, a referendum election may be held for the purpose of reversing the results of the previous referendum election. The requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this subsection shall be met prior to holding such referendum election. (6) No county or municipality shall prohibit, by ordinance or resolution, the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days unless such prohibition has been approved in a referendum election as provided in this subsection, and no county or municipality shall repeal an ordinance or resolution which prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days unless such repeal has been approved in a referendum election as provided in this subsection."
Section 2. Code Section 21-3-476 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to selling or buying alcoholic beverages on primary or election days, which reads as follows:
"21-3-476. Except as otherwise provided by law, any person who shall sell or buy or offer for sale any alcoholic beverages on primary or election days shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." is repealed in its entirety.

To amend Chapter 8 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to sales and use taxation, so as to authorize the imposition of a special county 1 percent sales and use tax for road, street, and bridge purposes; to provide that the imposition of any such tax must be approved by the voters of the county; to provide for the manner of imposition of the tax and the duration of the tax; to provide for administration and collection of the tax by the state revenue commissioner; to provide that the proceeds to the county from the tax shall be used exclusively for road, street, and bridge purposes in unincorporated and incorporated areas of the county; to provide credits for local sales and use taxes levied in other jurisdictions against said county sales and use tax and against the joint county and municipal sales and use taxes; to provide for all matters related to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

The expense of the election shall be paid from county funds.
48-8-112. (a) If the imposition of the tax is approved at the special election, the tax shall be imposed on the first day of the next succeeding calendar quarter which begins more than 80 days after the date of the election at which the tax was approved by the voters. With respect to services which are regularly billed on a monthly basis, however, the resolution shall become effective with respect to and the tax shall apply to services billed on or after the effective date specified in the previous sentence.

48-8-113. The tax levied pursuant to this article shall be exclusively administered and collected by the commissioner for the use and benefit of the county imposing the tax. Such administration and collection shall be accomplished in the same manner and subject to the same applicable provisions, procedures, and penalties provided in Article 1 of this chapter; provided, however, that all moneys collected from each taxpayer by the commissioner shall be applied first to such taxpayer's liability for taxes owed the state. Dealers shall be allowed a percentage of the amount of the tax due and accounted for and shall be reimbursed in the form of a deduction in submitting, reporting, and paying the amount due if such amount is not delinquent at the time of payment. The rate of the deduction shall be the same rate authorized for deductions from the state tax imposed by Article 1 of this chapter.
48-8-114. Each sales tax return remitting taxes collected under this article shall separately identify the location of each retail establishment at which any of the taxes remitted were collected and shall specify the amount of sales and the amount of taxes collected at each establishment for the period covered by the return in order to facilitate the determination by the commissioner that all taxes imposed by this article are collected and distributed according to situs of sale.

Where a local sales or use tax has been paid with respect to tangible personal property by the purchaser either in another local tax jurisdiction within the state or in a tax jurisdiction outside the state, the tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by this article upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due under this article, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in the other tax jurisdiction and the amount due under this article. The commissioner may require such proof of payment in another local tax jurisdiction as he deems necessary and proper. No credit shall be granted, however, against the tax imposed under this article for tax paid in another jurisdiction if the tax paid in such other jurisdiction is used to obtain a credit against any other local sales and use tax levied in the county or in

632

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

a special district which includes the county; and taxes so paid in another jurisdiction shall be credited first against the tax levied under Article 2 of this chapter, if applicable, and then against the tax levied under this article.
48-8-117. No tax provided for in this article shall be imposed upon the sale of tangible personal property which is ordered by and delivered to the purchaser at a point outside the geographical area of the county in which the joint tax is imposed regardless of the point at which title passes, if the delivery is made by the seller's vehicle, United States mail, or common carrier or by private or contract carrier licensed by the Interstate Commerce Commission or the Georgia Public Service Commission.

(b) No tax provided for in this article shall be imposed upon the sale or use of building and construction materials when the contract pursuant to which the materials are purchased or used was advertised for bid prior to the voters' approval of the levy of the tax and the contract was entered into as a result of a bid actually submitted in response to the advertisement prior to approval of the levy of the tax.
48-8-119. The commissioner shall have the power and authority to promulgate such rules and regulations as shall be necessary for the effective and efficient administration and enforcement of the collection of the tax authorized to be imposed by this article.
48-8-120. The tax authorized by this article shall be in addition to any other local sales and use tax. The imposition of any other local sales and use tax within a county shall not affect the authority of a county to impose the tax authorized by this article; and the imposition of the tax authorized by this article shall not affect the imposition of any otherwise authorized local sales and use tax within the county.
48-8-121. The proceeds received from the tax authorized by this article shall be used by the county exclusively for road, street, and bridge purposes. Authorized road, street, and bridge purposes shall include acquisition of right of way for, construction of, and renovation and improvement of roads, streets, and bridges both within the unincorporated area of the county and within the incorporated areas of municipalities within the county. The proceeds received from the tax authorized by this article shall be kept in a separate account from other funds of the county and shall not in any manner be commingled with other funds of the county prior to expenditure."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking code Section 48-8-90, relating to credits against the joint county and municipal sales and use tax for other local sales and use taxes, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"48-8-90. Where a local sales or use tax has been paid with respect to tangible personal property by the purchaser either in another local tax jurisdiction within the state or in a tax jurisdiction outside the state and seh tax is similar in purpose and intent te the ta* authorized te be imposed by this article, the tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by this article upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due under this article, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in the other tax jurisdiction and the amount due under this article. The commissioner may require such proof of payment in another local tax jurisdiction as he deems necessary and proper. No credit shall be granted, however, against the tax imposed under this article for tax paid in another jurisdiction if the tax paid in such other jurisdiction is used to obtain a credit against any other local sales and use tax levied in the special district or in the county which is coterminous with the special district; and taxes so paid in another jurisdiction shall be credited first against the tax levied under this article and then against the tax levied under Article 3 of this chapter, if applicable."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or
upon its becoming law without his approval.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 36 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to annexation by municipal corporations, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Article 5 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 5
36-36-90. As used in this article, the term 'municipal corporation' means a municipal corporation which has a population of 200 or more persons according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census and which has 'unincorporated islands' as that term is defined in subsection (a) of Code Section 36-36-91 on January 1, 1985.
36-36-91. (a) As used in this article, the term 'unincorporated island' means any area whose aggregate external boundary, on January 1, 1985, directly abuts the municipal boundary. Any area shall be considered an 'unincorporated island' if the aggregate external boundary would directly abut the municipal boundary if not otherwise separated, in whole or in part, from the municipal boundary by lands owned by the municipal corporation, by lands owned by a county, or by lands owned by this state or by the definite width of (1) any street or street right of way, (2) any creek or river, or (3) any right of way of a railroad or other public service corporation.
(b) For purposes of determining the area's aggregate external boundaries, all real property in the area to be annexed which, on January 1, 1985, (1) is unincorporated and (2) is in the same county as the annexing municipal corporation shall have its area included in determining the aggregate external boundary.
36-36-92. Authority is granted to the governing body of each municipal corporation of this state to annex to the existing corporate limits thereof unincorporated islands which are contiguous to the existing limits at the time of such annexation upon compliance with procedures set forth in this article.
36-36-93. (a) Any municipal governing body desiring to annex territory pursuant to this article shall first pass a resolution stating the intent of the municipal corporation to consider annexation. The resolution shall describe the boundaries of the area under consideration and fix a date for a public hearing on the question of annexation. The date for the public hearing shall not be less than 30 days and not more than 60 days following passage of the resolution. The notice of the hearing shall (1) fix the date, hour,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and place of a public hearing, (2) describe clearly the boundaries of the area under consideration, and (3) state that the report required in Code Section 36-36-94 will be available at the office of the municipal clerk at least 14 days prior to the date of the public hearing. The notice shall be given by publication in a newspaper having general circulation in the municipal corporation once a week for three successive weeks prior to the date of the hearing. The date of the last publication shall be not more than seven days preceding the date of public hearing. If there is no such newspaper, the municipal corporation shall post the notice for 30 days prior to the date of public hearing in at least three public places within the municipal corporation and in at least three public places in the area to be annexed.
(b) Within 48 hours of the passage of such resolution, the municipal governing authority shall forward by certified mail a copy of the resolution to the governing body of the county in which the property proposed to be annexed is located. The county governing body shall have 30 days from the date of passage of the resolution to object to the annexation. Such objection shall be in writing and delivered to the municipal governing body by certified mail. If an objection is entered, then all efforts to annex under that resolution shall cease. Any other attempts to annex must be under a new resolution.
(c) Within 14 days of the passage of the resolution, the clerk shall notify by regular mail each owner of property proposed to be annexed at their last recorded address. This notice shall include a copy of the resolution, the date, time, and place of the public hearing, and information concerning the availability of the report provided for in Code Section 36-36-94.
(d) At least 21 days before the date of the public hearing, the chief of police, under the direction of the governing body, shall post on a conspicuous place of each property proposed to be annexed, a sign or signs containing information as to the resolution and the date, time, and place of the public hearing. This sign shall be located within ten feet of the right of way of a public street or road or, if there is no road frontage, at least ten feet from the property line nearest a public street or road. The signs shall be placed on each property in intervals at a distance not to exceed 500 feet. The sign format shall be as follows:
NOTICE TO ANNEX PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION NO. __ Name of property owner: Address of property: Date, time, and place of public hearing: For additional information call: (e) At least 14 days before the date of the public hearing, the governing body shall approve the report provided for in Code Section 36-36-94 and shall make it available to the public at the office of the municipal clerk. In addition, the municipal corporation may prepare a summary of the full report for public distribution. (f) At the public hearing, a representative of the municipal corporation shall first make an explanation of the report required in Code Section 36-36-94. Following such explanation, all persons resident or owning property in the territory described in the notice of public hearing and all residents of the municipality shall be given an opportunity to be heard. 36-36-94. (a) A municipal corporation exercising authority under this article shall make plans for the extension of services to the area proposed to be annexed and, prior to the public hearing provided for in Code Section 36-36-93, shall prepare a report setting forth its plans to provide services to such area. (b) The report required in subsection (a) of this Code section shall include: (1) A map or maps of the municipal corporation and adjacent territory showing the present and proposed boundaries of the municipal corporation, the present major trunk water mains and sewer interceptors and outfalls, the proposed extensions of such mains and outfalls as required in paragraph (3) of this subsection, and the general land use pattern in the area to be annexed; (2) A statement showing that the area to be annexed meets the requirements of Code Section 36-36-91; and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1985

681

(3) A statement setting forth the plans of the municipal corporation for extending to the area to be annexed each major municipal service performed within the municipal corporation at the time of annexation. (c) The plans required in subsection (a) of this Code section shall:
(1) Provide for extending police protection, fire protection, garbage collection, and street maintenance services to the area to be annexed on the date of annexation on substantially the same basis and in the same manner as such services are provided within the rest of the municipality prior to annexation. If a water distribution system is not available in the area to be annexed, the plans must call for reasonable, effective fire protection services until such time as water lines are made available in such area under existing municipal policies for the extension of water lines;
(2) Provide for extension of major trunk water mains and sewer outfall lines into the area to be annexed so that when such lines are constructed property owners in the area to be annexed will be able to secure public water and sewer service, according to the policies in effect in such municipality for extending water and sewer lines to individual lots or subdivisions;
(3) If extensions of major trunk water mains and sewer outfall lines into the area to be annexed are necessary, set forth a proposed timetable for construction of such mains and outfalls as soon as possible following the effective date of annexation. In any event, the plans shall call for contracts to be let and construction to begin within 18 months following the effective date of annexation; and
(4) Set forth the methods under which the municipal corporation plans to finance extension of services into the area to be annexed. (c) Nothing within this article shall prohibit the municipal corporation from requiring the residents of the newly annexed area to use utilities owned by the municipal corporation when they are available. 36-36-95. Subsequent to the public hearing and compliance with the requirements of this article, the governing authority may annex by ordinance the property proposed in the resolution. It shall be the duty of the mayor of the municipal corporation to cause an accurate map and a duly certified copy of the ordinance to be recorded in the office of the registrar of deeds of the county or counties in which the territory is situated and in the office of the Secretary of State. 36-36-96. Any municipal corporation initiating any annexation under this article is authorized to make expenditures for surveys required to describe the property under consideration or for any other purpose necessary to plan for the study and annexation of unincorporated territory adjacent to the municipal corporation. In addition, following final passage of the annexation ordinance, the annexing municipal corporation shall have authority to proceed with expenditures for construction of water and sewer lines and other capital facilities and for any other purpose calculated to bring services into the annexed area in an effective and expeditious manner prior to the effective date of annexation."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to local govern ment, so as to specify certain zoning procedures to be followed in counties having a popu lation of 400,000 or more and in certain municipalities wholly or partially located within such counties; to state legislative intent; to provide that in each such county or municipal ity which has established a planning department or similar agency the planning depart ment or similar agency shall make an investigation and recommendation with respect to certain matters; to provide that in each such county or municipality which has established a planning commission or similar body the planning commission or similar body shall make an investigation and recommendation with respect to such matters; to provide that there shall be a written public record of such investigations and recommendations; to require persons initiating zoning proposals to make certain analyses of impact of proposed zonings; to provide that such investigations and recommendations shall be reviewed at hearings and meetings on zoning proposals; to provide for other related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to local government, is amended by adding a new Chapter 66 to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 66 ARTICLE 1
36-66-1. This article shall apply only to those counties which have a population of 400,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census and to those municipalities wholly or partially located within such counties which have a population of 100,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census. As used in this article, the term 'local govern ment' means those counties and municipalities subject to this article; and the term 'gov erning authority' means the governing authority of each such county and municipality.
36-66-2. The General Assembly finds that the increasing urbanization of those local governments subject to this article requires that such local governments should use zoning procedures which may not be necessary in other less urbanized areas. The Gen eral Assembly finds that the procedures required by this article will help to ensure that

726

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

governing authorities will make zoning decisions consistently and wisely and in keeping with the long-range requirements of the public health, safety, and welfare. The General Assembly further finds that the procedures required by this article will help to ensure that zoning decisions are made on the basis of a record which will contain matters neces sary to the consistent and wise decision of zoning matters in highly urban areas. The General Assembly further finds that the procedures required by this article will help citizens of the affected local governments in presenting and articulating their viewpoints on zoning matters. The General Assembly further finds that the procedures required by this article will help to ensure that court decisions, when courts are required to inter vene in zoning matters, will be made on the basis of a record which will contain matters necessary to the consistent and wise judicial decision of such zoning matters.
36-66-3. In any local government which has established a planning department or other similar agency charged with the duty of reviewing zoning proposals, such planning department or other agency shall with respect to each zoning proposal investigate and make a recommendation with respect to each of the matters enumerated in this Code section, as well as carrying out any other duties with which the planning department or agency is charged by the local government. The planning department or other agency shall make a written record of its investigation and recommendations, and this record shall be a public record. The matters with which the planning department or agency shall be required to make such investigation and recommendation shall be:
(1) Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property;
(2) Whether the zoning proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property;
(3) Whether the property to be affected by the zoning proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned;
(4) Whether the zoning proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools;
(5) If the local government has an adopted land use plan, whether the zoning pro posal is in conformity with the policy and intent of the land use plan; and
(6) Whether there are other existing or changing conditions affecting the use and development of the property which give supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the zoning proposal. 36-66-4. In any local government which has established a planning commission or other similar body charged with the duty of making recommendations with respect to zoning proposals, such planning commission or other body shall with respect to each zoning proposal investigate and make a recommendation with respect to each of the matters enumerated in code Section 36-66-3, as well as carrying out any other duties with which such planning commission or other body is charged by the local government. The planning commission or other body shall make a written record of its investigation and recommendations, and this record shall be a public record. 36-66-5. If a zoning proposal is initiated by a party other than the local government, the initiating party shall be required to file a written, documented analysis of the impact of the proposed zoning with respect to each of the matters enumerated in Code Section 36-66-3, as well as any other supporting materials required by the local governing authority. The time at which such analysis is required to be filed shall be specified by each local governing authority, but the required time for filing shall not be less than seven days before any hearing or meeting of the governing authority at which the zoning proposal will be under consideration by the governing authority. Such a zoning proposal and analysis shall be a public record. 36-66-6. At any hearing or meeting at which a governing authority has under consider ation a zoning proposal, the analysis submitted by the initiating party, if any, shall be reviewed. At any hearing or meeting at which a governing authority has under consider ation a zoning proposal, the record prepared by the planning department or other agency, if any, shall be reviewed. At any hearing or meeting at which a governing authority has under consideration a zoning proposal, the record prepared by the plan ning commission or other group, if any, shall be reviewed. The review of such analysis

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1985

727

and records at such hearing or meeting shall consist, as a minimum, of an oral statement of the findings with respect to each matter enumerated in Code Section 36-66-3 or the written presentation of such findings to the members of the governing authority together with a limited supply of copies of such findings to be available at the hearing or meeting and available on request to interested members of the public."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

A RESOLUTION
Urging the President and Congress to take action necessary to moderate the growth of textile and apparel imports; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the textile and apparel industry is Georgia's largest manufacturing employer, providing employment for more than 174,000 Georgians; and
WHEREAS, principally because of imports, employment in the textile and apparel industry in Georgia and throughout the United States has declined by 279,000 taxpaying Americans over the past five years; and
WHEREAS, the American textile and apparel industry has spent well in excess of $1 billion annually on state-of-the-art high technology equipment to retain its preeminence in productivity and quality; and
WHEREAS, trade in textiles and apparel is totally distorted by foreign government subsidies, dumping, and the protection of home markets by most foreign governments; and
WHEREAS, United States trade laws have been ineffective in moderating the growth of textile and apparel imports and in preventing fraudulent trade in textiles and apparel; and
WHEREAS, imports of textiles and apparel products increased by 32 percent during 1984 over 1983's record import levels and captured one-third of the United States market; and
WHEREAS, in 1984 the textile and apparel industry's share of the total, record $123 billion United States merchandise trade deficit was an alarming $16 billion; and
WHEREAS, state and national economic interests and national security interests require a strong American textile and apparel industry.

Chapter 4 of Title 51 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to actions for wrongful death, is amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 51-4-2, relating to persons entitled to bring an action for the wrongful death of a husband or father, and inserting in its place a new Code Section 51-4-2 to read as follows:
"51-4-2. (a) The widow surviving spouse or, if there is no widow surviving spouse, a child or children, either minor or sui juris, may recover for the homicide of the heseaftd spouse or father parent the full value of the life of the decedent, as shown by the evidence.
(b) (1) If an action for wrongful death is brought by a widow surviving spouse under subsection (a) of this Code section and the widow surviving spouse dies pending the action, the action shall survive to the child or children of the decedent.
(2) If an action for wrongful death is brought by a child or children under subsec tion (a) of this Code section and one of the children dies pending the action, the action shall survive to the surviving child or children. (c) The widow surviving spouse may release the alleged wrongdoer without the concurrence of the child or children or any representative thereof and without any order of court, provided that she such spouse shall hold the consideration for such relief release subject to subsection (d) of this Code section. (d) The widow surviving spouse shall hold any amount recovered under subsection (a) of this Code section subject to the law of descents, as if it were personal property descending from the decedent to her the surviving spouse and to to the children 2 pro vided that such recovery shall be equally divided, share and share alike, between the surviving spouse and the children per capita, and the descendants of children shall take per stirpes. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the surviving spouse shall receive no less than one-fourth of such recovery as such spouse's share. (e) No recovery had under subsection (a) of this Code section shall be subject to any debt or liability of the decedent. (f) In actions for recovery under this Code section, the illegitimacy of a child shall be no bar to recovery."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by repealing in its entirety Code Section 51-4-3, relating to persons entitled to bring an action for the wrongful death of a wife or mother, which reads as follows:
"51-4-3. (a) The husband and the legitimate and illegitimate child or children may recover for the homicide of the wife or mother. They shall have the right to recover the full value of the life of the decedent, as shown by the evidence.
(b) (1) The husband and legitimate and illegitimate child or children who are alive at the time the action is brought shall bring an action jointly and not separately, with the right of survivorship if any of the parties die pending the action.
(2) If any one or more of the husband and legitimate and illegitimate child or chil dren desire to bring an action under subsection (a) of this Code section, he or they may file the action and cause a copy thereof to be served personally upon the remain ing individuals comprising the husband and children or, if one or more of the persons is a minor, then upon the guardian of the minor and a guardian ad litem appointed as provided by law or, if any one or more of the persons is a nonresident, then in the manner provided by law for service on a nonresident. Any of such persons may inter vene in the case as an additional plaintiff at any time before final judgment. After final judgment, any of such persons not a party plaintiff shall have no further right

of action against the alleged tort-feasor. However, any of such persons not duly served as provided in this paragraph shall have a right against the parties plaintiff for his or their proportionate part of the recovery in the action.", and inserting in its place the following: "51-4-3. Reserved."
Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety subsection (a) of Code Section 51-4-5, relating to the recovery by a personal representative for wrongful death of a decedent and for certain expenses, and inserting in its place a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) When there is no person entitled to bring an action for the wrongful death of a decedent under Code Section 51-4-2; 61-4-3, or 51-4-4, the administrator or executor of the decedent may bring an action for and may recover and hold the amount recovered for the benefit of the next of kin. In any such case the amount of the recovery shall be the full value of the life of the decedent."
Section 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.

(c) Issuance by the authority of one or more series of bonds, notes, or other obli gations for one or more purposes shall not preclude it from issuing other bonds, notes, or other obligations in connection with the same project or with any other projects, but the proceeding wherein any subsequent bonds, notes, or other obligations shall be issued shall recognize and protect any prior loan agreement, mortgage, deed to secure debt, trust deed, security agreement, or other agreement or instrument made for any prior issue of bonds, notes, or other obligations unless in the resolution authorizing such prior issue the right is expressly reserved to the authority to issue subsequent bonds, notes, or other obligations on a parity with such prior issue.
(d) The authority shall have the power and is authorized, whenever bonds of the authority shall have been validated as provided in this article, to issue from time to time its notes in anticipation of such bonds as validated and to renew from time to time any such notes by the issuance of new notes, whether the notes to be renewed have or have not matured.

evidence of the fact of judgment and shall be received as original evidence in any court in this state.
(h) In lieu of specifying the rate or rates of interest which bonds to be issued by an authority are to bear, the notice to the district attorney or Attorney General, the notice to the public of the time, place, and date of the validation hearing, and the petition and complaint for validation may state that the bonds when issued will bear interest at a rate not exceeding a maximum per annum rate of interest, which may be fixed or may fluctuate or otherwise change from time to time, specified in such notices and petition and complaint or that, in the event the bonds are to bear different rates of interest for different maturity dates, that note of such rates will exceed the maximum rate which may be fixed or may fluctuate or otherwise change from time to time so specified; pro vided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting or restricting the right of the authority to sell such bonds at a discount, even if in doing so the effective interest cost resulting therefrom would exceed the maximum per annum interest rate specified in such notices and in the petition and complaint.
(i) The terms 'cost of the project' or 'cost of any project" shall have the meaning pre scribed in this article whenever referred to in bond resolutions of the authority, in bonds, notes, or other obligations of the authority, or in notices or proceedings to vali date such bonds, notes, or other obligations of the authority.

Any defendant seeking a review of such sentence or sentences shall make application therefor within 30 days of the date on which the sentence was imposed by a judge of the superior court or after the remittitur from the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court affirming the conviction is made the judgment of the sentencing court, whichever occurs last.

WHEREAS, persons convicted of capital felonies and given a death sentence have, regardless of individual pronouncements maintaining their guilt or innocence, engaged in years of dilatory and needless appeals; and
WHEREAS, no person is convicted except under the rule of law and only by a jury of 12 of his peers; and
WHEREAS, the State of Georgia has spent millions of dollars for defense lawyers, for prisons, for food and shelter for these persons who have already been convicted, and for continuous courtroom proceedings involving death row inmates; and
WHEREAS, the work of district attorneys, the Attorney General, and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles is unduly increased because of frivolous delaying tactics filed by attorneys of the convicted persons; and
WHEREAS, both state and federal judges have an escalated and inflated workload because of the repetitious proceedings involving mountains of records, transcripts, and testimony; and
WHEREAS, in order for punishment to be an effective deterrent, both generally and specifically, it must be swift, sure, and certain; and
WHEREAS, after committing savage, inhumane, violent acts, convicted offenders on death row are making a mockery of the entire criminal justice system by avoiding the imposition of their legal sentence and thereby showing the ineffectiveness of the letter of the law.

such next regular session of- the General Assembly;"
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by adding following Code Section 31-6-21 a new Code section to read as follows:
"31-6-21.1. (a) Rules of the planning agency shall be adopted, promulgated, and implemented as provided in this Code section and in Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act,' except that the agency shall not be required to comply with subsections (c) through (g) of Code Section 50-13-4.
(b) The planning agency shall transmit three copies of the notice provided for in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13-4 to the legislative counsel. The copies shall be transmitted at least 30 days prior to that agency's intended action. Within five days after receipt of the copies, if possible, the legislative counsel shall fur nish the presiding officer of each house with a copy of the notice and mail a copy of the notice to each member of the Human Resources Committee of the Senate and each member of the Health and Ecology Committee of the House of Representatives. Each such rule and any part thereof shall be subject to the making of an objection by either such committee. Any rule or part thereof to which no objection is made by both such committees may become adopted by the planning agency at the end of such 30 day period. The planning agency may not adopt any such rule or part thereof which has been changed since having been submitted to those committees, except for changes to correct typographical errors and changes approved in writing by both committees after having been so submitted, unless that change has been again submitted and subjected to committee objection as provided in this subsection; but a change so resubmitted shall not be subject to the public notice and hearing requirements of subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13-4. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit the planning agency from adopting any rule or part thereof without adopting all of the rules submitted to the committees if the rule or part so adopted has not been changed since having been sub mitted to the committees and objection thereto was not made by both committees.
(c) Any rule or part thereof to which an objection is made by both committees within the 30 day objection period under subsection (b) of this Code section shall not be adopted by the planning agency and shall be invalid if so adopted. A rule or part thereof thus prohibited from being adopted shall be deemed to have been withdrawn by the planning agency unless the agency, within the first 15 days of the next regular session of the General Assembly, transmits written notification to each member of the objecting committees that the agency does not intend to withdraw that rule or part thereof but intends to adopt the specified rule or part effective the day following adjournment sine die of that regular session. A resolution objecting to such intended adoption may be introduced in either branch of the General Assembly after the fifteenth day but before the thirtieth day of the session in which occurs the notification of intent not to withdraw a rule or part thereof. In the event the resolution is adopted by the branch of the General Assembly in which the resolution was introduced, it shall be immediately transmitted to the other branch of the General Assembly. It shall be the duty of the presiding officer of the other branch to have that branch, within five days after receipt of the resolution, consider the resolution for purposes of objecting to the intended adoption of the rule or part thereof. Upon such resolution being adopted by two-thirds of the vote of each branch of the General Assembly, the rule or part thereof objected to in that resolution shall be disapproved and not adopted by the planning agency. If the resolution is adopted by a majority but by less than two-thirds of the vote of each such branch, the resolution shall be submitted to the Governor for his approval or veto. In the event of his veto, or if no resolution is introduced objecting to the rule, or if the resolution introduced is not approved by at least a majority of the vote of each such branch, the rule shall automatically become adopted the day following adjournment sine die of that regular session. In the event of the Governor's approval of the resolution, the rule shall be disapproved and not adopted by the planning agency.
(d) Any rule or part thereof which is objected to by only one committee under sub section (b) of this Code section and which is adopted by the planning agency may be considered by the branch of the General Assembly whose committee objected to its

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1985

1055

adoption by the introduction of a resolution for the purpose of overriding the rule at any time within the first 30 days of the next regular session of the General Assembly. It shall be the duty of the planning agency in adopting a proposed rule over such objec tion so to notify the chairmen of the Human Resources Committee of the Senate and the Health and Ecology Committee of the House within ten days after the adoption of the rule. In the event the resolution is adopted by such branch of the General Assembly, it shall be immediately transmitted to the other branch of the General Assembly. It shall be the duty of the presiding officer of the other branch of the General Assembly to have such branch, within five days after the receipt of the resolution, consider the resolution for the purpose of overriding the rule. In the event the resolution is adopted by two-thirds of the votes of each branch of the General Assembly, the rule shall be void on the day after the adoption of the resolution by the second branch of the General Assembly. In the event the resolution is ratified by a majority but by less than twothirds of the votes of either branch, the resolution shall be submitted to the Governor for his approval or veto. In the event of his veto, the rule shall remain in effect. In the event of his approval, the rule shall be void on the day after the date of his approval.
(e) Except for emergency rules, no rule or part thereof adopted by the planning agency after this Code section becomes effective shall be valid unless adopted in compli ance with subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this Code section and subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13-4.
(f) Emergency rules shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Code section but shall be subject to the requirements of subsection (b) of Code Section 50-13-4. Upon the first expiration of any planning agency emergency rules, where those emergency rules are intended to cover matters which had been dealt with by the agency's nonemergency rules but such nonemergency rules have been objected to by both legislative committees under this Code section, the emergency rules concerning those matters may not again be adopted except for one 120 day period. No emergency rule or part thereof which is adopted by the planning agency shall be valid unless adopted in compliance with this subsection.
(g) Any proceeding to contest any rule on the ground of noncompliance with this Code section must be commenced within two years from the effective date of the rule,
(h) For purposes of this Code section, 'rules' shall mean rules and regulations."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following amendment was read and adopted:

Representatives Childers of the 15th and Burruss of the 20th move to amend the Committee Substitute to HB 484 by striking in their entirety lines 14 through 23 of page 3 and inserting in their place the following:
"period. The planning agency may not adopt any such rule or part thereof which has been changed since having been submitted to those committees unless:
(1) That change is to correct only typographical errors; (2) That change is approved in writing by both committees and that approval expressly exempts that change from being subject to the public notice and hearing requirements of subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13-4; (3) That change is approved in writing by both committees and is again subject to the public notice and hearing requirements of subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13-4; or (4) That change is again subject to the public notice and hearing requirements of subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13-4 and the change is submitted and again subject to committee objection as provided in this subsection. Nothing in this".

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Tandem Trailer Access to Public Roads Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, there is an historic link between an efficient transportation system and economic vitality; and
WHEREAS, several areas in the State of Georgia are at a competitive disadvantage due to the lack of access by tandem trailers; and
WHEREAS, any businesses seeking locations for new plants, warehousing, distribution centers, corporate headquarters, and other facilities will continue to focus their attention on the south and in Georgia in those areas that have adequate transportation facilities; and
WHEREAS, the use of tandem trailers is becoming more widespread throughout the nation and in parts of Georgia; however, such use is presently limited to certain designated public roads; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best economic interest of this state to study whether the use of tandem trailers should be authorized on more of the state's public roads.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Tandem Trailer Access to Public Roads Study Committee to be composed of two members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House, two members of the Senate appointed by the President of the Senate, one representative of the Department of Transportation appointed by the commis sioner of transportation, and one member of the Department of Industry and Trade appointed by the commissioner of industry and trade. The chairman and the vice-chair man shall be elected by the committee at its first meeting which shall be called by the Speaker of the House.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall study the use of tandem trailers on the public roads of this state to determine whether tandem trailers should be authorized to operate on more public roads in this state. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places 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 objec tives and purposes of this resolution. The legislative members of the committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees. Other members of the committee shall receive travel cost reimbursement allowed by Code Section 45-7-21 for members of boards and commissions and reimbursement for actual expenses incurred as a result of serving on the committee from the respective agency which employs the member.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Article 1 of Chapter 9 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to motor fuel taxation, so as to remove current provisions relating to liabil ity for taxes on fuel sold to ultimate consumers who have both highway and nonhighway

1126

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

uses for such fuel; to make new provisions for liability for taxes on fuel delivered to pur chasers who have storage receptacles with certain withdrawal outlets; to authorize the state revenue commissioner to waive record keeping requirements for certain distributors with respect to fuel sales which do not exceed a certain volume; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 1 of Chapter 9 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to motor fuel taxation, is amended by striking subparagraph (b) (7) (B) of Code Section 48-9-3, relating to levying of motor fuel taxes, which reads as follows:
"(B) In instances where a sale of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas, or special fuel has been made to an ultimate consumer who has both highway and nonhighway use of that type of motor fuel and no tax has been paid by the distributor on the sale, the consumer shall become licensed as a consumer distributor of that type of motor fuel. After the consumer is licensed as a consumer distributor and if it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the commissioner that the motor fuel purchased prior to the licensee's becoming licensed as a consumer distributor was used for nonhighway purposes, such sales shall be exempt from the tax imposed by this article; provided, however, that, if at the time of demonstration the ultimate consumer does not have both highway and nonhighway use of such fuel but it can be demonstrated by the distributor to the satis faction of the commissioner that the motor fuel was used for nonhighway purposes, the sales shall be exempt from the tax imposed by this article; or", and inserting in its place a new subparagraph to read as follows:
"(B) (i) Any fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas, or special fuel sold by a distribu tor to a purchaser who has a storage receptacle which has a connection to a with drawal outlet that may be used to place motor fuel other than gasoline in the running tank or power cell of a motor vehicle designed for use on the public highways or in equipment used on or for the purpose of construction, reconstruction, maintenance, or repair of a public highway is not exempt from the taxes imposed by this article unless the purchaser is at the time of sale a valid licensed distributor of that type of motor fuel or an affidavit has been obtained from the purchaser on forms furnished by the Department of Revenue showing that the purchaser has no highway use of such fuels or is a reseller of such fuels. Each affidavit shall be valid for a period of not more than one year from the date of execution and a copy of the affidavit must be received by the Department of Revenue within ten working days from the date of execution. It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to notify the distributor when he is no longer qualified for the nonhighway exemption. It shall be the duty of the distributor to rescind, by a writing directed to the commissioner, any affidavit submitted if at any time the purchaser notifies the distributor that he is not qualified for the nonhighway exemption or the distributor becomes aware that the purchaser is no longer so quali fied. All applicable taxes must be charged the purchaser until the purchaser is granted a valid distributor's license for that type of motor fuel.
(ii) Any such purchaser granted an exemption who falsely claims the exemption or fails to rescind his affidavit to his distributor in writing when he is no longer eligible for the exemption shall be deemed a distributor for purposes of taxation and is subject to all provisions of this article relating to distributors. This subparagraph in no way shall restrict the option of the purchaser to become licensed as a distributor. If the distributor sells to a purchaser who has a storage receptacle which has a connec tion to a withdrawal outlet that may be used to place motor fuel other than gasoline in the running tank or power cell of a motor vehicle designed for use on the public highways or in equipment used on or for the purpose of construction, reconstruction, maintenance, or repair of a public highway and the purchaser is not a valid licensed distributor and has not executed a valid signed affidavit, the taxes imposed by this article are due from the distributor and not the purchaser on all sales of that type of fuel to that purchaser;"
Section 2. Said article is further amended by striking paragraph (8) of subsection (a)
of Code Section 48-9-12, relating to powers of the state revenue commissioner with respect
to motor fuel taxation, and inserting in its place a new paragraph to read as follows:

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1985

1127

"(8) Waive the bond and the report required of a licensed distributor of fuel oils, compressed petroleum gas, or special fuel if the distributor has no taxable sales of the fuel and his receipts do not exceed 12,000 gallons per year and with respect to such dis tributors waive requirements for record keeping on sales that do not exceed 25 gallons in one transaction;".
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

In the event that court issues neither such order by the forty-sixth day after filing the petition for temporary rates, the utility may put any or all of the rates requested in its schedule into effect under bond only during the appeal and until final disposition of the case. Such bond shall be fixed by the court in an amount not to exceed $250,000.00, with sureties approved by the court, conditioned upon the refund, in a manner to be prescribed by order of the court, to those persons, corporations, municipalities, and other entities enti tled to the amount of the excess if the rate or rates put into effect are finally deter mined to be excessive. There may be substituted for the bond other arrangements satisfactory to the court for the protection of parties interested. The bond shall be pay able to the Governor and shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of the requirements of any refund order entered by the court. During any period in which a utility shall charge increased rates under bond, it shall provide, as ordered by the court, records or other evidence of payments made by its subscribers or patrons under the rate or rates which the utility has put into operation in excess of the rate or rates in effect immediately prior to the filing of the schedule. All increases in rates put into effect under the provisions of this subsection which are not approved and for which a refund is required shall bear interest at the maximum legal rate. The interest shall commence on the date the disallowed increase is paid and continue until the date the refund is made. In all cases in which a refund is due, the court shall order a total refund of the difference between the amount collected under bond and the amount finally approved. This subsection shall not apply to rates involving a nuclear electric power generating facility rate base phase-in.

(c) The garnishee shall file additional answers until the original arrearage is retired and all periodic support payments are current.
(d) Upon the termination of employment of the defendant by the garnishee, the gar
nishee shall be required to file a final answer stating the date and reason for the defendant's termination from employment and stating, to the best of the garnishee's
information, the defendant's present residential address and employer. 18-4-135. The writ of garnishment described in this article shall attach for so long

(B) 'Local election' means any election which is not a state-wide primary or state-wide general election or a runoff held for such primary or general election. (2) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, no person knowingly and intentionally shall sell or offer to sell alcoholic beverages on any elec tion day. The prohibition of this subsection shall apply only within the territorial boundaries for which the election is held but such territorial boundaries shall not include any property owned or operated by a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state for airport purposes if no person resides on such publicly owned or operated property.
(B) The local governing authority of any county in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized and the local governing authority of any municipality in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized may, by ordinance, resolution, or referendum, authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages on local election days.", and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (b) to read as follows: "(b) (1) Upon a written petition containing the signatures of at least 15 percent of the registered and qualified voters in the unincorporated area of any county being filed with the election superintendent of the county or upon a written petition con taining the signatures of at least 15 percent of the registered and qualified voters in any municipality being filed with the election superintendent of the municipality, such superintendent, upon validation of the petition, shall be required to call and hold a referendum election for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters of the unin corporated area of the county or of the municipality, as the case may be, the question of whether the sale of alcoholic beverages shall be prohibited on election days. The petition shall state whether the prohibition is to apply to local elections or state-wide elections, or both. Such petition shall not be amended, supplemented, or returned after its presentation to the appropriate authority. Validation shall, for the purposes of this subsection, be the procedure in which the election superintendent determines whether each signature on the petition is the name of a registered and qualified voter. (2) For the purposes of this subsection, the required number of signatures of regis tered voters shall be computed based on the number of voters qualified to vote at the general election immediately preceding the presentation of the petition. Actual signers of the petition shall be registered and qualified to vote in the referendum election sought by the petition. Upon determining that the petition contains a sufficient number of valid signatures, the election superintendent shall set the date of the refer endum election for not less than 30 nor more than 60 days after the call. The refer endum may be held as a special referendum election or may be held at the time of holding any other primary or election in such county or municipality if such other pri mary or election is to be held not more than 60 days after the call. (3) Notice of the call for the referendum shall be published by the election super intendent in the official organ of the county or, in the case of a municipality, in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality.

(4) (A) The ballot shall have printed thereon the following:

'( ) YES ( ) NO

Shall the governing authority of _________ (county or municipality, as the case may be) prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days?'

(B) All persons desiring to vote in favor shall vote 'Yes,' and those persons opposed shall vote 'No.' If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are in favor of prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days, the gov erning authority of the county or municipality, as the case may be, shall by ordi nance or resolution, prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in the unincorporated

It shall be his further duty to canvass the returns and declare and certify the results of the election to the Secretary of State. The expense for the elec tion shall be borne by the county or municipality conducting the election. (5) Following the expiration of two years after any referendum election is held, a referendum election may be held for the purpose of reversing the results of the pre vious referendum election. The requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this subsection shall be met prior to holding such referendum election. (6) No county or municipality shall prohibit, by ordinance or resolution, the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days unless such prohibition has been approved in a referendum election as provided in this subsection, and no county or municipality shall repeal an ordinance or resolution which prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages on election days unless such repeal has been approved in a referendum election as provided in this subsection."

48-8-119. The commissioner shall have the power and authority to promulgate such rules and regulations as shall be necessary for the effective and efficient administration and enforcement of the collection of the tax authorized to be imposed by this article.

48-8-121. (a) The proceeds received from the tax authorized by this article shall be used by the county exclusively for the purpose specified in the resolution or ordinance calling for imposition of the tax. Such proceeds shall be kept in a separate account from other funds of the county and shall not in any manner be commingled with other funds of the county prior to expenditure.

General obligation bonds issued under this article shall be payable first from the separate account in which are placed the proceeds received by the county from the tax authorized by this article. Such bonds, however, shall constitute a pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the county; and any liability on said bonds which is not satisfied from the proceeds of the tax authorized by this article shall be satisfied from the general funds of the county.
(c) The resolution or ordinance calling for imposition of the tax authorized by this article may specify that all of the proceeds of the tax will be used for payment of gen eral obligation bonds issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax. If the resolu tion or ordinance so provides, then such proceeds shall be used solely for such purpose except as provided in subsection (e) of this Code section.
(d) The resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax authorized by this article may specify that only a part of the proceeds of the tax will be used for pay ment of general obligation bonds issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1985

1177

If the ordinance or resolution so provides, it shall specifically state the other purposes for which the proceeds will be used; and such other purposes shall be a part of the capi tal outlay project for which the tax is to be imposed. In such a case no part of the net proceeds from the tax received in any year shall be used for such other purposes until all debt service requirements of the bonds for that year have first been satisfied from the account in which the proceeds of the tax are placed.
(e) The resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax may specify that no general obligation bonds are to be issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax. If the ordinance or resolution so provides, it shall specifically state the purposes for which the proceeds will be used; and such purposes shall be a part of the capital outlay project for which the tax is to be imposed.
(f) If the proceeds of the tax are specified to be used solely for the purpose of pay ment of general obligation bonds issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax, then any net proceeds of the tax in excess of the amount required for payment of such bonds shall be subject to and applied as provided in this subsection. If the county receives from the tax net proceeds in excess of the maximum cost of the project stated in the resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax or in excess of the actual cost of such project, then such excess proceeds shall be subject to and applied as provided in this subsection. If the tax is terminated under paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Code Section 48-8-112 by reason of denial of validation of bonds, then all net pro ceeds received by the county from the tax shall be excess proceeds subject to this Code section. Excess proceeds subject to this subsection shall be used solely for the purpose of reducing any indebtedness of the county other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to this article. If there is no such other indebtedness or, if the excess proceeds exceed the amount of any such other indebtedness, then the excess proceeds shall next be paid into the general fund of the county, it being the intent that any funds so paid into the general fund of the county be used for the purpose of reducing ad valorem taxes."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking code Section 48-8-90, relating to credits against the joint county and municipal sales and use tax for other local sales and use taxes, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:

If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due under this article, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in the other tax jurisdiction and the amount due under this article. The commissioner may require such proof of payment in another local tax jurisdiction as he deems necessary and proper. No credit shall be granted, however, against the tax imposed under this arti cle for tax paid in another jurisdiction if the tax paid in such other jurisdiction is used to obtain a credit against any other local sales and use tax levied in the special district or in the county which is coterminous with the special district; and taxes so paid in another jurisdiction shall be credited first against the tax levied under this article and then against the tax levied under Article 3 of this chapter, if applicable."

A BILL
To amend Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to retirement, so as to provide procedures and requirements relative to the adoption of rules and regula tions by boards of trustees of state retirement or pension systems; to revise the provisions of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia relating to creditable service for accumu lated sick and annual leave; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to pro vide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to retirement, is amended by adding at the end of Chapter 1, relating to general provisions applicable to public retirement, a new Code Section 47-1-10 to read as follows:

or agency charged with the duty of administering any public retirement or pension

(2) 'Employer' means a state department, official, or agency of the state or a local board of education, local elected official, or a local political subdivision which employs members.
(3) 'Member' means a member of a public retirement or pension system created by this title.
(4) 'Member organization' means any association of public employees or officials whose membership consists primarily of members of a public retirement or pension system created by this title.
(5) 'Rule' means any rule or regulation adopted by a board of trustees for the administration or to aid in the administration of a public retirement or pension system created by this title.
(6) 'Small retirement system' means any public retirement or pension system created by this title which has less than 200 members.
(b) Prior to the adoption, amendment, or repeal of any rule, a board of trustees shall:
(1) Give at least 30 days' notice of the intended action. The notice shall include an exact copy of the proposed rule, the date on which the board of trustees will con sider the adoption of the rule, and the time and place where the board of trustees shall meet for such purpose. The notice shall also contain a citation of the authority pursuant to which the rule is proposed for adoption and, if the proposal is an amend ment to or repeal of an existing rule, the existing rule shall be clearly identified. The notice shall be mailed to all members of the respective retirement or pension system who have requested in writing to the board of trustees to be placed on a mailing list for proposed rules, provided that such mailing list shall not exceed 200 such members. If more than 200 members request to be placed on such mailing list, the board of trustees shall confine the list to the first 200 members making written request to the board of trustees to be placed on the mailing list. The board of trustees of any small retirement system may, at its discretion, mail the notice to all members. The notice shall also be mailed to employers and to member organizations of the respective public retirement or pension systems. Employers shall post such notices on bulletin boards for their respective employees and shall otherwise take reasonable steps to assure that members of the respective retirement or pension systems are made aware of the notice; and
(2) Afford members of the retirement or pension system affected by the proposed rule a reasonable opportunity to submit to the board of trustees, in writing, data, views, or arguments relative to the proposed rule. Any such submissions received by the board of trustees prior to the adoption of the proposed rule shall be considered by the board of trustees.
(c) At the time of the distribution of the notices required by paragraph (1) of subsec tion (b) of this Code section, the respective boards of trustees shall transmit a copy of such notices to each member of the House and Senate standing committees on retire ment for review by such committees. If, prior to the adoption of the rule by the respec tive board of trustees, the chairman of either such committee notifies such board of trustees that the committee objects to the adoption of the rule or has questions concern ing the purpose, nature, or necessity of the rule, it shall be the duty of such board of trustees to consult with the committee prior to the adoption of the rule.
(d) If a board of trustees finds that the immediate adoption of a rule is necessary to secure or protect the interests of the members of its respective public retirement or pension system, such rule may be adopted on an emergency basis without following the procedures required by this Code section. In that event, the board of trustees shall adopt a resolution declaring the existence of an emergency and explaining the basis for such declaration as a condition necessary to adopt a rule on an emergency basis. Any rule adopted pursuant to the authority of this subsection shall expire in not more than 120 days immediately following its adoption, but the adoption of an identical rule pur suant to the requirements of this Code section is not precluded.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1985

1211

(e) By not later than August 1, 1985, each board of trustees shall file with the Secre tary of State a certified copy of all rules which were adopted by the board of trustees prior to July 1, 1985, and which are of force and effect on July 1, 1985, or which were adopted prior to July 1, 1985, to become effective after that date. Any rule adopted by a board of trustees prior to July 1, 1985, which is not filed with the Secretary of State by August 1, 1985, shall be void and of no force and effect after August 1, 1985. Except pursuant to the authority of subsection (d) of this Code section, each rule adopted by a board of trustees on or after July 1, 1985, shall not become effective until the expira tion of at least 20 days after an original and two copies of the rule are filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Rules adopted prior to July 1, 1985, and those adopted on and after that date which are filed with the Secretary of State as required by this subsection shall contain a citation of the authority pursuant to which the rules were adopted and, when existing rules are amended, the filings required by this subsection shall clearly identify the existing rules. The Secretary of State shall "endorse on each filing required by this subsection the time and date of the filing and shall maintain a file of the rules for public inspection. The provisions of this subsection relative to rules adopted on or after July 1, 1985, shall not be construed to require a rule to go into effect 20 days after filing with the Secretary of State if the rule, by its own terms, provides for a later effec tive date. Rules filed with the Secretary of State pursuant to this subsection shall be published by the Secretary of State as a part of the rules of state agencies published by the Secretary of State pursuant to Code Section 50-13-7."
Section 2. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 47-2-91, relating to credit for accumulation of sick and annual leave under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 47-2-91 to read as follows:
"47-2-91. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Classified member' means a member of the retirement system who is in the
classified service of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration provided for by Chapter 20 of Title 45.
(2) 'Commissioner' means the commissioner of personnel administration provided for in Code Section 45-20-4.
(3) 'Compensatory time' means time off from work which is used in lieu of annual or sick leave to offset overtime service rendered by an employee when the employee is compensated by a fixed salary and is not financially compensated for such overtime service.
(4) 'Elected state official' means the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, each member of the Public Service Commission, the Secretary of State, Attorney General, State School Superintendent, Commissioner of Insurance, Commissioner of Labor, Commis sioner of Agriculture, each Justice of the Supreme Court, and each Judge of the Court
(5) 'Unclassified member' means any member of the retirement system who is in the unclassified service of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration pro vided for by Chapter 20 of Title 45 or who is otherwise not covered by the rules and regulations of the State Personnel Board, including elected state officials. {ft} (b) (1) Accumulated days of forfeited annual and sick leave for which a member has not been paid shall constitute creditable service if such member has at least six months of such forfeited leave at the time of his the member's retirement. The member shall be given one month of creditable service for each 20 days of for feited annual and sick leave. Upon retirement of the a classified member, the employer shall certify to the retirement system board of trustees the total amount of that member's forfeited annual and sick leave and based on leave records for periods of service where employers have maintained adequate leave records. For periods of service where no leave records are available for classified members, forfeited leave for an undocumented period may be computed as provided in subsection (i) of this Code section. The determination of accumulated days of forfeited annual and sick leave for unclassified members shall be based on leave records for periods of service where employers have maintained adequate leave records. For periods of service where no

1212

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

l leave records are available, forfeited leave for unclassified employees shall be com puted as follows:
(A) When 15 years or more of leave records are available for an unclassified member, the determination of forfeited leave for undocumented periods shall be computed as provided in subsection (i) of this Code section; or
(B) When less than 15 years of leave records are available for an unclassified member, the determination of forfeited leave for undocumented periods shall be based on the one-year average amount of forfeited annual and sick leave calculated by the commissioner pursuant to subsection (f) of this Code section and as provided in subsection (g) of this Code section, subject to the limitation in subsection (j) of this Code section.
(2) For both classified and unclassified members, each employer shall contribute the same amount as would have been contributed by the employer had the member obtaining creditable service for forfeited annual and sick leave remained in state employment without change in compensation for a period of time equal to the amount of such forfeited annual and sick leave for which creditable service is obtained.

(d) For the purposes of this Code section, compensatory time shall not be applicable to elected state officials and no elected state official may offset any annual or sick leave taken by any such official by any compensatory time which might otherwise be appli cable to such official.
(e) When accumulated forfeited annual and sick leave is claimed for the purposes of this Code section by an elected state official based on records maintained by or pursuant to the order or supervision of the elected state official, any such accumulated annual and sick leave accepted by the board of trustees shall, in addition to such records, be based on the elected state official's sworn statement that the amount of accumulated forfeited annual and sick leave claimed by the elected state official is true and correct.
(f) The commissioner shall select a random representative sample of the total membership of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia who were in the classified service of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration for each of the calendar years 1979, 1980, and 1981. From an examination of the personnel records of the mem bers in each such sample, the commissioner shall calculate for each of the calendar years the average number of days of annual leave and the average number of days of sick leave taken by the members of each such sample. From the averages for each of the three calendar years, the commissioner shall then calculate a one-year average of annual leave taken and sick leave taken by the members included in the three random repre sentative samples. The average days for annual leave taken and the average days for sick leave taken shall then each be deducted, respectively, from the maximum number of days of annual leave and the maximum number of days of sick leave which may be accu mulated in one year under rules and regulations of the State Personnel Board by an employee in the classified service of the state merit system. The two figures resulting after making such reductions shall be added together and the resulting figure shall be forfeited annual and sick leave for each year of membership service for the purposes of subsection (g) of this Code section, subject to the limitation in subsection (j) of this Code section.
(g) The one-year average amount of forfeited annual and sick leave calculated by the commissioner pursuant to subsection (f) of this Code section shall be supplied by that officer to all employers. When less than 15 years of leave records are available, the determination of forfeited annual and sick leave for unclassified employees with

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1985

1213

undocumented periods may be certified by the employer based on the one-year average amount of forfeited annual and sick leave supplied by the commissioner. The amount which may be so certified shall be calculated by multiplying the figure representing the one-year average of forfeited annual and sick leave by the number of years of member ship service for which leave records were not available at the time of retirement, subject to the limitation in subsection (j) of this Code section.
(h) For any member whose membership service includes service as both a classified and unclassified member, both classified and unclassified service may be considered in qualifying for undocumented forfeited annual and sick leave calculations based on 15 or' more years where employers have maintained adequate records of annual and sick leave taken by members. When 15 or more years of leave records are available through a combination of both classified and unclassified service, forfeited annual and sick leave for an undocumented period may be computed as provided in subsection (i) of this Code section. When less than 15 years of leave records are available through a combination of both classified and unclassified service for a member, then the undocumented for feited leave for the unclassified service shall be calculated pursuant to subsection (g) of this Code section and undocumented forfeited leave for classified service shall be calcu lated pursuant to subsection (i) of this Code section, subject to the limitation in subsec tion (j) of this Code section. The two calculations shall then be added together to determine the total amount of forfeited leave for the undocumented period.
(i) The formula provided by this subsection may be utilized for computation of for feited annual and sick leave during the undocumented periods of service described in paragraph (1) and subparagraph (A) of said paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of this Code section. The formula is as follows:
(1) Compute the maximum earnable sick and annual leave for the undocumented period;
(2) Compute the total sick and annual leave taken for all periods in which documentation is available:
(3) Compute the average sick and annual leave taken per month by dividing the answer under paragraph (2) of this subsection by the total number of documented months;
(4) Multiply the answer under paragraph (3) of this subsection by the total number of months in the undocumented period; and
(5) Subtract the answer under paragraph (4) of this subsection from the answer under paragraph (1) of this subsection to determine total leave earned and not taken during the undocumented period. (j) For unclassified employees with less than 15 years of service, the determination of forfeited annual and sick leave shall be limited to the lesser of the amount calculated pursuant to subsections (f) and (g) of this Code section or the average of actual forfeited annual and sick leave for which leave records are available, whichever is less. (k) The board of trustees may adopt rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Code section, to aid in administering and carrying out the provisions of this Code section."
Section 3. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1985.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

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

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 1985 regular session, except as otherwise specified in this Act; provided, however, the Director of the Budget is authorized to make internal transfers within a budget unit between objects, pro grams, and activities subject to the conditions that no funds whatsoever shall be trans ferred 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 pro vided, 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.

In those cases in which the aforesaid Budget Report contains no recommenda tion 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.
