VETO NO. 5 - H.B. 906
House Bill 906 proposed the incorporation of the City of Islands in Chatham County. A county-wide referendum was provided for in the legislation. The passage of this bill was technically flawed by a procedural error, and another bill was introduced and passed providing for the same subject matter. Therefore, the author of this bill requested that this bill be vetoed.
VETO NO. 6 - H.B. 2000
House Bill 2000 provided for a new charter for the City of Statesboro. After passage of the bill, a technical error was found in the legislation. Therefore, the author of this bill requested that it be vetoed.
VETO NO. 7 - S.B. 556
Senate Bill 556 abolished the second division of the State Court of Cobb County and the office of Associate Judge of the State Court of Cobb County. Technical problems were found with the legislation after its passage, and the author requested it be vetoed.

MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1987

29

VETO NO. 8 - S.B. 406
Senate Bill 406 amends the Administrative Procedures Act as it relates to legislative override of agency rules. Specifically, in the event a standing committee files an objection to an agency or departmental rule, that rule then may be considered by the branch of the legislature whose committee has objected. Should a resolution be adopted by a % vote of the body of the General Assembly objecting to the rule, the agency or departmental rule shall be void.
Under present law, both chambers must consider a resolution to override an administrative rule, while Senate Bill 406 would authorize one house of the General Assembly to void an administrative rule of the Executive Branch. The bill is unconstitutional as an abridgement of the powers of the Executive Branch of government under the Constitution, and the procedure established exceeds the authority of the General Assembly under the Constitution. This bill, if signed, could adversely affect the rule-making power of all agencies in state government.
For these reasons, I am vetoing Senate Bill 406.
VETO NO. 9 - H.B. 2026
House Bill 2026 increased the filing fees in the State Court of Dougherty County to an amount equal to that of the Dougherty County Superior Court. This legislation was introduced at the request of the Dougherty County Commission by the local delegation. During the 1986 Session of the General Assembly, general legislation was passed increasing the filing fees for the superior courts of this State except for persons licensed by the State Board of Medical Examiners. This latter piece of legislation had the effect of increasing the local filing fees for the State Court of Dougherty County to an amount greater than that desired by the local governing authority. Because of this technical problem, the local county commission has requested, with the approval of the local delegation, that this bill be vetoed.
VETO NO. 10 - H.B. 1316
House Bill 1316 as originally introduced provided that the Board of Medical Examiners was authorized to investigate a licensee's fitness to practice medicine, if the licensee had been involved in two of more previous judgments or settlements of medical malpractice or was involved in a medical malpractice judgement or settlement in excess of $50,000. Additionally, the bill provided that a court order requiring that a judgment or agreement be sealed in a medical malpractice case would not prevent the disclosure of the information contained in the file to the Board of Medical Examiners for their investigation. A floor amendment was added in the Senate to strike Code Section 43-34-1 relating to the practice of naturopathy. This amendment has the effect of removing a provision in the law which practitioners of naturopathic medicine contend gives them the authority to practice in this state.
In 1983, similar legislation which was passed voiding this section was vetoed due to pending litigation in federal court. Since the end of that litigation, there has been no attempt to delete this section from the law until the floor amendment in the Senate. It is now the position of the State Law Department that this section does not authorize the practice of naturopathic medicine in this State. However, there still seems to be a great amount of confusion in the minds of some citizens of this State concerning the legal ramifications of the action of deleting this section. In a case such as this the provisions of this legislation should have been discussed openly in a committee of the House or Senate before this bill was passed. In vetoing this bill, I am not in any way endorsing the concept of naturopathic medicine. I do want to allow any questions to be answered fully before this section is deleted.
The original provisions of House Bill 1316 are meritorious, and I hope they will be implemented by the General Assembly during the 1987 Session. Until then, I strongly

30

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

recommend that the Board of Medical Examiners implement the legislation on a voluntary basis by making mandatory on their part the investigation of physicians who meet the requirements of the act and by seeking any legal means to make sure that sealed court records be opened to the Board, if needed in its investigations.
For these reasons, I am vetoing House Bill 1316.

"My faith in the people of Georgia is greater today than ever before because I have seen what we can achieve...
I am convinced that we can realize our full God-given potential by continuing to work together in the future."
/s/ Joe Frank Harris

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

Four short years ago on a bitterly cold January day I stood here and accepted the reins of government that you accorded me.
Today, I humbly accept the challenges for a second time and renew my vow to work even harder in serving as your Governor.
These four years have been marked by unusual experiences and matchless memories, great progress and real achievements, difficult times and tough decisions, but with your support and your prayers, Georgia has prospered.
In 1983, our state was faced with economic uncertainty, public education was crying for improvement, reserve funds were depleted, the budget had to be slashed and many Georgians were in need of jobs and increased governmental services.
I was committed to stringent and responsible management of our state's fiscal resources by getting the most service possible for every tax dollar and giving better government, not more government, and by operating within our means, with compassion, and without a tax increase.
Above all, I pledged that state government under the Harris administration would work to instill excellence in every area.
Because of your help, the General Assembly's hard work and support, and our state employees' dedication and loyalty, those dreams became reality, and gave birth to a record of great accomplishments.
Today, Georgia's reserves are filled, and we are not faced with a shortage in the existing budget. We have become a national leader in education reform with the passage and implementation of the Quality Basic Education Act. Our economic growth has been unprecedented, setting new records for capital expansion, foreign investment, and new jobs. State government is reaching out with more efficiency and effectiveness to more people than ever before.
A new businesslike approach to state government and a solid "team concept" are in place among the members of the General Assembly, constitutional officers, state agencies, and local governments.
These experiences and lessons give me tremendous hope, optimism, and excitement as I look to the future.
My faith in the people of Georgia is greater today than ever before because I have seen what we can achieve. I am convinced that we can realize our full, God-given potential by continuing to work together.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1987

71

My enthusiasm as I look toward the future is based on my belief in you. I am eager for the challenges ahead, because you continue to be the catalyst which makes great things happen.
Reflect on our achievements with earned pride, but rest not! Today, I am more concerned with the future. We cannot and must not become complacent. Georgia has yet to reach its best. Our competition is worldwide, and we must be prepared!
Being your Governor has made me acutely aware that this office will always belong to the people of Georgia. State government exists only to serve your needs and help solve your problems while seeking a better tomorrow.
Every Georgian must have the best education possible. Education is the avenue to make our youth both dreamers and doers and to reach our adults with better means of meeting a changing world.
Education is a process which begins at birth, and should never end. Those adults who missed opportunities before will be given a brighter pathway out of the darkness of illiteracy. For the first time, education will provide the chance to assume, with confidence, the rights and responsibilities as a citizen and find fulfillment in life.
Just existing is not enough, Georgians must be at their best. Having access to health and medical services will enable them to be strong and to avoid illness and problems which limit or cut short their potential.
Greater efforts must be made to prevent problems such as teenage pregnancy, infant mortality, birth defects, child abuse, alcoholism, and drug use before they occur, instead of dealing with them as crises afterwards. Stopping this demeaning, deadly cycle which links these problems is the challenge we face in restoring our citizens' hope and faith in themselves.
All Georgians must feel safe in our homes and on our streets, being protected from the criminal element and knowing that if crime occurs, justice will be done. Lawbreakers will be caught and punished.
Every Georgian should have the opportunity to work in a chosen field, hold a meaningful job, one which recognizes your contributions to the economy and pays you well enough to care for your families and plan for the future.
We must continue efforts to diversify our economy, to provide a buffer from economic uncertainties which are beyond state and local control. However, diversification does not mean abandoning support for our traditional industries, such as textiles, nor our historical economic base, agriculture, all of these are necessary for a vibrant, sustaining economy.
Georgia is blessed with a dynamic business community, from small business men and women to top corporations and foreign investors, which sends a progressive business signal across our nation and around the world.
Coming generations must have the same opportunity to build businesses, rear families and develop communities. Therefore, the responsibility is great to protect the natural resources God has given us. Our existence is linked to the future of our land, air and water. We must manage these sacred blessings with care and foresight.
A "growth strategy" for the future must be developed to ensure that improvements to our infrastructure are wise and productive. Local government officials who are closest to the stresses and strains must help to meet this economic development need.
Just as I want all of our citizens to be fully self-sufficient, I have the same goal for all of our communities across this state. Providing our cities and towns with strong assistance is vital to put them clearly in charge of their own destiny.
Today is our future and we can achieve! We are limited only by the extent of our dreams.

72

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

My dreams for all Georgia are based on what I know about our people and our land. Georgians believe in the traditional values of home, family, community, education, faith in God, hard work, and investing for the future.
We are entrepreneurs at heart; inventors, dreamers, doers, stretching to outer boundaries with our ideals. We are greater than ourselves because we are bound together; a team as partners, sharing, caring, and working.
Above all, we are a state reaching out together for God's blessings. I believe in my heart our best is yet to be. I am not afraid of tomorrow, because we have weathered yesterday, and God has given us the greatest gift of all. He has given us today!
Let us once again join together in our prayers and in our efforts to make today Georgia's best. May God bless each one of you and may God bless our state.

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

MY FELLOW GEORGIANS:
Tomorrow it will have been one month since Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager set out to do what no human beings before them had ever done.
Few believed they would get their flying phone booth off the ground, let alone pilot the Voyager nonstop around the world without refueling.
But they were propelled by a vision more powerful than the storms they encountered. And by sheer courage and uncompromising determination, they succeeded. They overcame mechanical difficulties and numbing exhaustion to make their dream a reality.
That feat and their faith serve to remind us in the most graphic way of what mankind can achieve whenever we dedicate ourselves to lofty goals and pursue them to the utmost of our mental, physical and spiritual capacities.
It is the same point that Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager made in the heavens last month that I want to make today to you who have joined with us to pay tribute to the great Governor whose second administration we inaugurate.
And that is that we Georgians, too, can set demanding goals for ourselves and realize them.
That we, too, can dream dreams which some may call impossible, and make them come true.
That we, too, do not have to be bound by the self-imposed limitations of those who are too timid to dare, or too doubting to dream.
I am confident that I speak your sentiments when I say how proud we are collectively to have in Joe Frank Harris a leader who embodies the traits of grit, guts, goals and results which Rutan and Yeager have helped restore as American virtues.
And I want you to know how proud I am personally to be on the team of this great Governor who has wrought a quiet revolution in the growth and progress of our State of which few are aware of the total dimensions.
Because of what has been accomplished during the first four Harris years and what he proposes to do during his next four, Georgia is on the move educationally, economically and ethically and things never again will be the same, either in or out of the Statehouse, because of the wheels he quietly but forever has set into motion.
And I am certain that Governor Harris would be the first to agree with me that we cannot be satisfied with merely getting by or simply being good in our programs.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1987

73

We cannot be content with just being good we must strive for excellence.
We cannot settle for just reaching to the national level we must exceed it.
We cannot be follower of trends we must be a leader in setting trends.
My friends, we can provide a quality education for every Georgia child regardless of his color, economic status or place of residence.
And we will!
We can provide health care for the elderly, the medically indigent and those beset with catastrophic illnesses.
And we will!
We can increase our per capita income to the level enjoyed by other Americans.
And we will!
We can build a system of developmental highways to bring growth and progress to all sections of our State.
And we will!
We can achieve a drug-free society by stopping drugs at the source and putting the peddlers of this poison behind bars where they belong.
And we will!
We can protect, preserve and perpetuate our water resources to insure against repetitions of the water crisis triggered by last year's drought.
And we will!
We can make certain that all Georgians enjoy a similar degree of economic prosperity and job opportunities, but without dividing our citizens or diluting the phenomenal growth which has made the metro area of Atlanta the economic miracle of this nation.
And we will!
It was my mother who, by word and deed, taught me to dream to dream always of a better future... but that you had to work and pay the price to make those dreams come true.
She would say, "Take what you want, sayeth the Lord; take it and pay for it." I've never been able to document that passage in the Bible, but it was Birdie's scripture, and it was very much a part of my motivational makeup when I was a boy growing up in the remoteness of the Georgia mountains.
And that is what my message to you today is: We must dream! We must have a vision of what Georgia in the 1990s and the 21st century can and should be. But we, the guardians and molders of that future, will have to pay a price in political courage and determination.
Speaking of dreams, I never, ever went so far as to envision that I would be inaugurated for even a first time, to say nothing of a fourth, term as Lieutenant Governor.
To have the unprecedented privilege of serving you and all Georgians again in the second highest office of our State is an honor that continues to be humbling, and, yes, continues to be challenging.
The commitment I make to you today is that I will continue to work as I have in the past to make each today better than yesterday, and to make all tomorrows the best each can possibly be.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1987

113

Twenty-three years ago I entered this hallowed chamber with a sense of awe and respect, and each year since, those same deep feelings return.
Today, I am deeply honored that the people of Georgia have allowed me to serve a second consecutive term as governor. Two days ago, in my inaugural address, I vowed to work even harder over the next four years to earn the confidence the people have placed in me.
Last week, the stock market broke the "2000 mark" for the first time in history. Today, I am presenting my annual report to the "stockholders" of the State of Georgia, the more than 6.1 million men, women and children who have a vested interest in Georgia's future, and my report is also based on "2000", because your state government is making long-term investments in our people and our natural resources so Georgia can face the year 2000 with its head up and ready to go!
You, the members of the General Assembly, constitutional officers, department heads, state employees, members of the judiciary and the people of Georgia have every reason to share the pride I feel about the great strides our state has made.
Beyond any doubt, your state government is today being managed efficiently and effectively, and your children are beginning to receive an education that will fully prepare them for the future. I want to thank you, the members of the General Assembly, for being aware of our needs, and many times working without credit in the face of criticism, to do what was best for all Georgians.
Programs will continue to be needed to assure healthier generations of Georgians, to manage growth in the prison population and to ensure a strong, diversified economy, including a long-range plan for meeting future needs in transportation, water and sewer capacity, hazardous waste disposal, air and water quality and proper use of our land.
As your Governor, I have had the opportunity to travel across the country and to points around the world, representing the state of Georgia and finalizing economic development deals. From Tokyo to Toronto, from New York to Brussels, I have found an outstanding awareness of and interest in our state.
Georgia is greatly envied and admired in many areas: from our comprehensive education reform to our special quality of life and southern hospitality, from our healthy business climate and our attraction to international investors to our fiscally responsible budget management and government stability.
We are known and respected for our successful campaigns against drunken driving and child abuse. Our corrections system, including our shock incarceration program, has won national acclaim and media recognition. The banking community of Georgia is known to be one of the strongest in the country, with no bank failures during a time when there have been many across our country.
We have every reason to feel pride in being Georgians and in living where we live. God has truly blessed us in many ways, and as a result, there are increasing numbers of people from around the country and around the world making the decision to join us, to share in the pleasures, the promise and the future that Georgia holds.
These new people eager to become Georgians mean, of course, an increased demand on government services, but it also means something else. It means that we have an expanded reservoir of talent from which to draw in seeking solutions to the challenges that will face us in the future.
This is a dilemma I find rather exciting: growth brings special problems, but also the potential to tap into new ideas, new vitality and creativity, and new solutions to continuing problems.
In seeking solutions to our problems over the past four years, we have invested your tax dollars with wisdom and foresight in improvements with long-term potential and the

114

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

promise of returns that future generations will realize, such as education reform, better transportation, expanded health services, job-creating activities and new vocational training sites, and programs to provide affordable water and sewer projects. We have also increased efforts to boost our international potential, including expanding markets for Georgia farm products, attracting new consular offices, and encouraging tourism.
Additionally, state government has looked into the crystal ball of the future, and has made professional projections of services to meet our future needs. Our projections tell us that particular efforts are imperative in certain areas, if we are to ensure for future generations the same rights, privileges, freedoms and opportunities that we have enjoyed.
We must have a proper plan that will assure the protection of our environment and orderly growth across our state; therefore, a "growth strategy" commission must be formed, and it will be a priority of my second term. Such a body will identify the roles and responsibilities of government planning agencies at all levels in providing services, setting goals for efficient use of our land, air, and water resources, protecting property values, requiring necessary infrastructure improvements to accommodate growth, and managing sensitive environmental areas.
Last year, Georgians suffered through the most devastating drought in history, but our efforts to plan for future water needs began four years ago, when I recommended and the General Assembly approved the development of a state water budget. The "water resources management strategy document" is being released today.
It identifies a plan for areas with limited water resources, and through the existing authorities and programs of the Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Facilities Authority, we can provide technical and financial assistance to local governments which will enable future water needs to be addressed.
There will be a need for the location of regional reservoirs in some areas of our state. These clean water projects can serve other purposes in the communities, including public fishing. We have an abundance of water, but it is not necessarily located in all the right places.
The time has come to address another problem with long-term impact on our future. The issue is "hazardous waste". Georgia has numerous responsible and essential industries throughout the state, including agribusiness, public utilities, and national defense contractors, which are important to our economy that produce hazardous waste.
I realize the controversial and sensitive nature of any discussion of this topic, and the misinformation that abounds; however, if Georgia is going to be competitive in the future, if we hope to expand our manufacturing sector, we must be able to safely dispose of our own wastes, not depend on others to handle our problems.
Over the past 10 years, congress has enacted legislation mandating procedures for the disposal of such waste. Technological advancements in this field provide high temperature incineration, detoxification, and solidification, which, coupled with permanent dry storage facilities, preclude the need for any landfills.
We must provide this type facility to assure protection of our vital environmental resources and protection of our jobs. The Hazardous Waste Management Authority, in coordination with the Department of Natural Resources, will initiate efforts toward this objective.
While every state except Georgia has had tax increases in the past six years and over 21 states have already announced budget cutbacks, I am recommending today that you appropriate funds totaling $5,772 billion to operate state government in fiscal year 1988, which begins July 1, again without a tax increase!
New funds available will be $456 million, or a growth of 8.6 percent. While the percentage increase is the second largest in three years, the dollar increase of $456 million is the second largest in Georgia's history, exceeded only by fiscal year 1985 receipts.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1987

115

With the nation in the midst of an economic slowdown, the 8.6 percent projection reflects strength in our economy. Our economic stability in recent years, along with conservative budgeting and the proper emphasis on the problems facing our state, has put Georgia in good fiscal condition.
The highlights of my recommendations for fiscal year 1988 address many of the needs throughout state government, but primarily in the areas of education, health, economic development, and safety. Our administration will continue to focus on helping our citizens to become self-sufficient. In so doing, we are not only improving their prospects for the future, but we are also improving the prospects for the future of our state.
Much of the credit for what has been achieved in the past four years, and what we will achieve in the next four years, is due to our hard-working and dedicated state employees. Therefore, I am recommending a 2.5 percent cost-of-living pay increase for them at a cost of $30.4 million, including selected upgradings.
We have made tremendous improvements in education in the past four years. We must be careful not to lose our momentum and let other issues or problems deflect our attention. As long as I am Governor, education will remain the top priority of state government. There is no more important state responsibility than guaranteeing quality education for our young people.
To continue implementation of the Quality Basis Education Program in our classrooms, and to provide cost-of-living increases to our teachers, I am recommending $201.3 million. In addition, I am recommending $146.7 million for local school construction. This will fund one project for every eligible school system.
Our teachers will receive a 3 percent pay raise that maintains the market-sensitive salary schedule for teachers, at a cost of $56.7 million, with the beginning salary increasing from $16,800 a year to $17,300. Teachers will also receive an increase in their longevity factor from 2.6 percent to 2.7 percent. The average teacher salary is projected to be $25,760 next year.
New funds for public schools will focus on funding the next phase of QBE including:
Implementing the QBE Program of staff development, to advance the training of our teachers and help our educators become as capable, competent and professional as they can be, I am recommending $23 million for the first year of the project.
$25.8 million for corrections to the special education formula for the five categories of special education students.
Implementing a number of pilot projects required by QBE, including special instructional assistance, in-school suspension, and the middle-school program.
With these recommendations, we will remain on target with QBE funding, as recommended by the Education Review Commission and as mandated by the General Assembly in passing this historic legislation.
In another important area of education, I am particularly proud of the Accelerated Library Construction Program during the Harris administration. Over the past four years, we have built 52 new libraries across the state, and recommended 27 more in the amended 1987 budget. With 79 new libraries, a record has been established and the quality of life has been enhanced all across Georgia.
The instruction and research in our university system is earning recognition around the world, and our 34 institutions, along with the centers of excellence funded by the research consortium have been an important factor in the state's economic development.
To operate our public colleges and universities, I am recommending an increase of $27.5 million for the university system.

116

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I am recommending $16.5 million to provide a 2.5 percent cost-of-living pay raise for all employees of the State Board of Regents.
To provide facilities needed in the university system, I am recommending a $30 million bond issue for new facilities at five state colleges based on the Regents' priorities at Augusta College, Georgia Southern College, Georgia Southwestern College, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, and Atlanta Junior College.
One of my highest priorities is to improve the job training offered by our postsecondary vocational schools, which will help us maintain and enhance Georgia's competitive position. A part of this effort is the conversion of area vocational-technical schools to state governance. Four schools were converted last year, and I am recommending $1.2 million to convert seven more schools in 1988: Augusta, Carroll, Coosa Valley, Griffin, Pickens, Swainsboro, and Troup.
To develop a program to help the estimated 750,000 illiterate Georgians become more productive, I am recommending the establishment of an Adult Literacy Task Force. This group will prepare a comprehensive plan, including public and private agencies to deal with this problem. Based on their recommendations, I will submit my proposal to you at the next session of the General Assembly. However, we must not wait for the study to begin our progress. My recommendations today include $472,500 to increase the Department of Education's adult basic education budget, focusing on those adults who have less than an eighth-grade education.
The health of our people is vital to the health of our state, and my budget requests today emphasize this responsibility.
During my second term, children will be a central focus of our efforts. Today I am requesting $6 million to expand programs dealing with child abuse, troubled children, infant mortality, juvenile offenders, child support recovery and pre-school intervention for mentally-retarded children.
I am also recommending $3.4 million in state matching funds to increase aid to families with dependent children benefits, representing a 3.6 percent increase in state funds for AFDC. To expand the Employment Service Pilot Program referred to as "Peach" in 11 counties, I am recommending $495,000, which will serve 615 additional recipients.
I am also recommending:
Two program expansions for our mentally retarded citizens, to increase residential services and family care.
Two programs to help deaf and blind citizens with communication, mobility and job training, and a comprehensive residential facility-based project.
A crisis exists in our state-operated hospitals; we must act quickly. Hospitals at Augusta and Savannah have been decertified for medicare reimbursement and several other hospitals face the possible loss of both medicare and medicaid funding, which is estimated at $69 million next year.
The problem is inadequate staffing. I am recommending $4.5 million to add 226 new staff positions that will help attain full certification for all 10 hospitals. Eighty-six additional positions were recommended in my amended budget recommendations.
Medicaid would get one of the largest budget increases of any state agency under my recommendations: $49.7 million. There are three reasons for this large increase:
A decrease in federal funding, from 66 to 63 percent, a direct result of our growth in per capita income, which leads the southeast and ranks third in the United States.
Continuation of a program recommended in the amended budget to provide eyeglasses, hearing aids, dentures, and additional dental services for all adult recipients.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1987

117

Increases in the maximum allowable fee schedule for physicians.
Within the annual grant funds for the Georgia Research Consortium, I am recommending $3.3 million to help launch Emory University's Life Sciences Center for Medical Research. It will emphasize research in molecular biology, which will have an ever-increasing impact on new vaccines, miracle drugs, revolutionary diagnostic techniques, and cures for diseases that still elude us, including cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.
A major initiative is being launched to combat the appetite of some citizens for illegal drugs and to stem drug trafficking. Included are circuitwide trial and grand juries, new sentences and higher fines, as well as a public awareness program similar to the campaign against drunk driving.
To complement our legislative initiatives attacking drug trafficking and abuse, Georgia is receiving $12 million in federal funds. These funds will be distributed evenly among our Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for Enforcement, our Department of Education for Drug Awareness and Prevention, and our Department of Human Resources for Treatment.
I am recommending that Human Resources use $1.8 million of this money to establish two adolescent alcohol and drug treatment centers, to complete the final phase of implementation of our Regional Alcohol and Drug Treatment Plan. They will be located at Griffin and Athens.
Georgia has been a national leader in economic growth in recent years, and this activity has generated revenues which have enabled us to operate without a tax increase. To continue the state's role in promoting development, I am recommending funds to expand our Industry Recruitment Advertising and Promotion Program, especially in the international marketplace.
I am also recommending $500,000 to expand the state's Tourism Advertising Program. $375,000 of this amount will be allocated to the Tourism Cooperative Advertising Program to be matched on a 50/50 basis by local tourism organizations.
Our ports have been an important factor in the globalization of Georgia's economy. To maintain their capabilities, I am recommending that we continue the spoil area reconstruction at Savannah Habor.
Transportation is also an important element of our economic development package. I am proposing $55 million to fund the second part of the $100 million a year program to construct "growth corridor" highways. My amended budget proposals included the other $45 million. Another $30 million will be set aside to continue our L.A.R.P. Program for assisting communities in local road maintenance and construction.
For natural resources, I am proposing construction of a new regional office in Brunswick that will replace the current inadequate facility and consolidate all natural resources offices in the area. During the past four years, state park visitations increased by 41 percent; from 9 to 13 million visitors per year. Revenues increased 59 percent, now $8.7 million. Because of this tremendous interest, I have recommended improvements totaling $9.3 million in the amended 1987 budget.
During my first term, we were able to control prison population and local jail backlog with our "Grid" system and alternatives to incarceration, and through the funding of over 7,000 new bedspaces. Unfortunately, our prisons and jails are again over capacity. This overcrowding is caused by more drug convictions and the impact of the habitual offender law.
In my amended budget, I recommended several actions to begin solving this problem, and today I am requesting $23.9 million to increase prison beds and fund alternatives.
Improvements include:
$1 million to add 400 beds at county workcamps.

118

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Funds to maintain 219 beds at Ware and Lowndes County Institutions when replacement prisons open.
185 new probation and parole workers to provide more opportunities for judges to use alternatives to prison.
New 50-bed diversion centers in Walton and Hart counties, and funds to open replacement facilities for the Athens, Gateway and Clayton Diversion Centers.
For our local governments, I am proposing to increase county jail subsidies from $8.50 to $10.00, and I am pledging my commitment to continue to work with state and local officials to solve our jail backlog.
Last week, I reported to the Appropriations Committee that an increase in crime, especially in drug-related cases, has caused a serious delay in the analysis of evidence by the state crime laboratories under the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. To enhance our lab capabilities, I recommended 11 positions in my amended budget, and today I am requesting 10 additional positions. We cannot effectively fight crime without a timely analysis of evidence.
In pursuit of lawbreakers, it is not uncommon for our state troopers to have to leave their cars, but with their current equipment, they must return to their cars to radio for help in dangerous situations. I am recommending that we begin to phase in the use of mobile repeater radios, with the purchase of 100 units.
To further increase the patrol's efficiency, I am also recommending that we upgrade the telecommunications system of all state operations located in the vicinity of the Atlanta headquarters of the Department of Public Safety, and initiate planning for renovation of the public safety building.
For the Department of Revenue, which collects 95 percent of state revenues, I am recommending continuation of plans to update its computer tax programs at a cost of $1.5 million.
To support arts programs throughout the state, I am recommending an increase of $250,000 to increase state arts grants to a level of $2.5 million.
I believe my recommendations today represent the mission of our state government. As I have expressed to you in the past four years, we must remain on the offensive, prepare for the future, and help our people help themselves. Together, we have succeeded in combining fiscal responsibility with attention to the needs of our citizens. Together we can take pride in what our state has accomplished.
Today Georgia is in a comfortable situation. We have stability in our budgeting, in our economy, and in our state government. But there are problems that we must continue to address, relying on both our experience and our willingness to experiment with new, progressive ideas.
I look forward to continuing our effective partnership, a partnership that is building a better Georgia. Thank you and God bless you.

On the passage of the Bill, the ayes were 151, nays 3. The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed.

The Speaker noted that at this exact moment, 11:38 A.M., one year ago, the Space Ship Challenger exploded in midair. He called for the members of the House to observe a moment of silent prayer, after which, the Reverend L. G. Gilstrap offered the following
prayer:

Father of us all;
We pause today, as we did precisely one year ago at this moment, to remember the incident which was so indelibly imprinted on our hearts and in our minds forever.
As we again remind ourselves that Jesus said "Not one sparrow can fall to the ground that our Father does not see", we are comforted by the fact that you, O God, did see, and that you do see all of us when we ceremoniously succeed and when things go wrong for us.
May today remind us to be prepared for the unexpected and may inevitable good come from this perplexity.
Bless the loved ones who remain in bereavement.
Amen.

The Speaker Pro Tern assumed the Chair.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the University System Laboratory, Equipment, Rehabilitation Technology, and Eminent Scholars Endowment Study Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the matter of the state's financial support of education is a priority and focal issue facing the General Assembly; and
WHEREAS, there are no things more important to the quality of an institution of higher education than a strong faculty and modern facilities; and
WHEREAS, the needs of disabled and handicapped citizens in particular require specialized faculty and facilities; and
WHEREAS, in December, 1980, the Georgia Institute of Technology established the Center for Rehabilitation Technology to provide a clearing-house of information and technical assistance for disabled persons and to encourage collaborative interdisciplinary efforts within the University System of Georgia to develop equipment and procedures to meet the needs of disabled and handicapped citizens; and
WHEREAS, unfortunately, all institutions of the university system, including the Center for Rehabilitation Technology, lack sufficient funding and equipment for the computer related activities, laboratories, and library research facilities which are required to support the continued technological growth of the state in meeting the needs of the handicapped and in other areas and to attract leaders in the educational and research fields.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created the University System Laboratory, Equipment, Rehabilitation Technology, and Eminent Scholars Endowment Study Committee to be composed of eight members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. One of the appointees shall be designated chairman by the Speaker. The committee shall meet upon the call of the chairman.

The committee is further authorized to study incentive programs for the funding of faculty chairs, so as to enable the universities of this state to compete more successfully for the best scholars and teachers available. The committee is authorized to seek the advice and counsel of such persons knowledgeable in the affected fields which the committee feels will be able to assist it in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities.

In the case of an elector residing temporarily out of the county or a physically disabled elector residing within the county, the application for the elector's absentee ballot may, upon satisfactory proof of relationship, be made by his mother, father, grandparent, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, spouse, son, daughter, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, of the age of 18 or over.

Except in the case of physically disabled electors residing in the county, no absentee ballot shall be mailed to an address other than the permanent or temporary out-of-county address of the elector. Relatives applying for absentee ballots for electors must also sign an oath stating that facts in the application are true. If the elector is unable to fill out or sign his own application because of illiteracy or physical disability, the elector shall make his mark, and the person filling in the rest of the application shall sign his name below it as a witness; provided, however, that one timely and proper application for an absentee ballot for use in a primary shall be sufficient to require the sending or delivery to an eligible absentee elector who lives outside the county in which the election is held and is also a member of the armed forces of the United States, a member of the merchant marine of the United States, or a spouse or dependent of a member of the armed forces or the merchant marine residing with or accompanying said member or overseas citizen an absentee ballot for such primary as well as for any runoffs resulting therefrom and for the election for which such primary shall nominate candidates. Further, such application for an absentee ballot to be used in any election shall be sufficient to require the sending and delivery of an absentee ballot for any runoffs resulting from such election. In any event, a separate and distinct application for an absentee ballot shall be required for the presidential preference primary held pursuant to Article 5 of this chapter and for any special election or special primary.
(2) A properly executed registration card submitted under the provisions of subparagraph (b)(2)(A) of Code Section 21-2-217, if submitted within 130 180 days of a primary or election in which the registrant is entitled to vote, shall be considered to be an application for an absentee ballot under this Code section, or for a special absentee ballot under Code Section 21-2-381.1, as appropriate."

HB 203. By Representatives Selman of the 32nd, Murphy of the 18th, Smith of the 16th, McKelvey of the 15th, Pannell of the 122nd and others:
A bill to amend Code Section 19-7-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to parental powers and recovery for the homicide of a child, so as to provide that a judgment in a case of the homicide of a child awarded to parents who are divorced, separated, or living apart may be equitably apportioned between such parents; to provide for a motion for equitable divi-

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:
A BILL
To amend Code Section 19-7-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to parental powers and recovery for the homicide of a child, so as to provide that a judgment in a case of the homicide of a child awarded to parents who are divorced, separated, or living apart may be apportioned fairly between such parents; to provide for a motion for apportionment of such judgment; to provide for a hearing; to provide procedures; to provide that a judge's decision may not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion; to provide an effective date and for applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 19-7-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to parental powers and recovery for the homicide of a child, is amended by striking in its entirety subsection (c) and inserting in its place a new subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) (1) In every case of the homicide of a child, minor or sui juris, there shall be some party entitled to recover the full value of the life of the child, either as provided in this Code section or as provided in Chapter 4 of Title 51.
(2) If the deceased child does not leave a spouse or child, the right of recovery shall be in the parent or parents, if any, given such a right by this paragraph.
(A) If the parents are living together and not divorced, the right shall be in the parents jointly.
(B) If either parent is deceased, the right shall be in the surviving parent. (C) If both parents are living but are divorced, separated, or living apart, the right shall be in both parents. However, if the parents are divorced, separated, or living apart and one parent refuses to proceed or cannot be located to proceed to recover for the wrongful death of a child, the other parent shall have the right to contract for representation on behalf of both parents, thereby binding both parents, and the right to proceed on behalf of both parents to recover for the homicide of the child with any ultimate recovery to be shared by the parents as if they wre net separated er living apart as provided in this subsection. Saeh Unless a motion is filed as provided in paragraph (6) of this subsection, such a judgment shall be divided equally between the parents by the judgment; and the share of an absent parent shall be held for such time, on such terms, and with such direction for payment if the absent parent is not found as the judgment directs. Payment of a judgment awarded to the parent or parents having the cause of action under this subparagraph or the execution of a release by a parent or parents having a cause of action under this subparagraph shall constitute a full and complete discharge of the judgment debtor or releasee. If, after two years from the date of any recovery, the share of an absent parent has not been paid to the absent parent, the other parent can petition the court for the funds, and the recovery, under appropriate court order, shall be paid over to the parent who initiated the recovery.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1987

347

(3) The intent of this subsection is to provide a right of recovery in every case of the homicide of a child who does not leave a spouse or child. If, in any case, there is no right of action in a parent or parents under the above rules, the right of recovery shall be determined by Code Section 51-4-5.
(4) In this subsection the terms 'homicide' and 'full value of the life' shall have the meaning given them in Chapter 4 of Title 51.
(5) In actions for recovery, the illegitimacy of the child shall be no bar to recovery. (6) For cases in which the parents of a deceased child are divorced, separated, or living apart, a motion may be filed by either parent prior to trial requesting the judge to apportion fairly any judgment amounts awarded in the case. Where such a motion is filed, a judgment shall not be automatically divided. A post-judgment hearing shall be conducted by the judge at which each parent shall have the opportunity to be heard and to produce evidence regarding that parent's relationship with the deceased child. The judge shall fairly determine the percentage of the judgment to be awarded to each parent. In making such a determination, the judge shall consider each parent's relationship with the deceased child, including permanent custody, control, and support, as well as any other factors found to be pertinent. The judge's decision shall not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1987, and shall apply to causes of action arising on or after such date.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by, or in the right of, the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable fef ncgligenee er misconduct i th performance of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Code section or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

in such proceeding exceeds the last firm offer made by the condemnor by 15 percent or greater. The amount of such expenses shall be decided by the judge or presiding officer or officers in such proceeding and shall be a separate entry upon the award made to the condemnee. The award of such expenses shall be filed and recorded in the manner in which the award is so filed. The amount included for attorney's fees shall not exceed 25 percent of the difference in the award and the last firm offer made by the condemnor.
(b) (1) Upon the appeal of an award of compensation, other than for expenses, by a condemnor under Chapter 2 of this title, such condemnor shall be liable for the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the condemnee in the superior court. Such expenses shall be decided by the judge and shall be a separate entry upon the final judgment of the court.
(2) If an award of compensation, other than for expenses, is appealed by a condemnee under Chapter 2 of this title, the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in the superior court may, in the exercise of the discretion of the judge, be awarded to the condemnee. The amount included for attorney's fees shall not exceed 25 percent of the excess of the amount of the verdict over the amount of the award appealed from. The judge shall decide whether such expenses are warranted after a consideration of the following:
(A) The ultimate success of the appeal by the condemnee; (B) The existence of a legitimate question regarding just and adequate compensation; (C) The existence of other issues on appeal; (D) A disparity of greater than 25 percent between the last firm offer by a condemnor and the amount awarded in the proceeding from which the appeal was taken; (E) A disparity in the proceeding from which the appeal was taken between the amount awarded to the condemnee compared with similar awards; and (F) Other circumstances which serve to indicate that an appeal was not frivolous or for the purpose of harassment or delay. (c) For any case on appeal in the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals in which a judgment is returned in favor of the condemnee, the appellate court shall award reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees in connection with the appeal, to the condemnee."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"CHAPTER 11
12-11-1. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Georgia Youth Conservation Corps Act.'

(4) The state is still benefiting from the wide range of public works accomplished by the conservation corps many years ago and that a similar program will likewise benefit future generations; and
(5) Values of hard work, public spiritedness, group achievement and cooperation, resource conservation, and environmental appreciation can and should be transmitted to society's youth through a conservation corps program. 12-11-3. As used in this chapter, the term:

By renumbering Sections 3 through 5 as Sections 4 through 6, respectively, and inserting a new Section 3 to read as follows:
"Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by adding following Code Section 33-9-21 a new Code Section 33-9-21.1 to read as follows:
'33-9-21.1. On and after the effective date of this Code section and until January 1, 1990, no insurer shall charge or collect for any policy or contract of property and casualty insurance, motor vehicle insurance, or liability insurance any premium or rate in excess of the premiums and rates lawfully charged for the same or similar coverage by such insurer on January 1, 1987. The provisions of this Code section shall not, however, apply to premiums or rates contractually agreed upon prior to the effective date of this Code section. In addition, the commissioner shall allow an insurer to charge and collect premiums and rates in excess of those otherwise authorized by this Code section if the insurer establishes in an evidentiary hearing before the commissioner that the limitation imposed by this Code section jeopardizes the solvency of the insurer; and upon such a showing the insurer may thereafter with the prior approval of the commissioner charge and collect such premiums and rates as will as nearly as possible comply with the limitation of this Code section without jeopardizing the solvency of the insurer.'"

HR 64. By Representatives Smyre of the 92nd, Mangum of the 57th, Benefield of the 72nd and Lawson of the 9th:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Governor's Task Force on Adult Literacy; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, a literate citizenry which can read, write, comprehend what is read, and do simple math is essential to the health, wealth, and quality of life for every person in the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, an alarming proportion of the adult population, age 16 or over, of the State of Georgia is illiterate; and
WHEREAS, illiteracy is a state-wide problem extending to every county and every community and thus requires a state-wide effort from many sources to find solutions and deliver services; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that in Georgia there are approximately 700,000 adults with less than an eighth grade education and approximately 1,500,000 adults with an education that stopped short of a high school diploma; and
WHEREAS, while there are conflicting estimates of adult illiterates due in part to conflicting definitions of illiteracy, there are presently less than 4 percent of the adults who lack a high school diploma who are being provided literacy services by local adult education programs, vocational training programs, the state prison system, and other state agencies; and there is an undetermined number who are being served by various private and volunteer organizations; and
WHEREAS, adult illiteracy is costly, not only to those individuals directly affected and to their families, but also to the state as a whole in terms of both quality of life and the state's economy; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that billions of dollars are lost from the state's economy each year as the result of adults being unemployed, underemployed, incarcerated, or on public assistance due to illiteracy; and
WHEREAS, in this age in which the need for manual labor is declining while the need for skilled labor is increasing, employers are demanding higher levels of education; and
WHEREAS, an illiterate work force is therefore a major threat to Georgia's continued economic development and competitive position in the marketplace; and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1987

721

WHEREAS, literate parents better prepare their children for success in school; and
WHEREAS, the identification of both illiterate adults and strategies needed to maintain their active involvement in effective instructional programs is a very complex task involving many groups.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is created the "Governor's Task Force on Adult Literacy," hereinafter referred to as the "task force." The Governor shall appoint as members of the task force such number of citizens of Georgia, with a recognized interest and expertise in the field of adult literacy, as he deems advisable. He shall also appoint two members of the House of Representatives and two members of the Senate as members of the task force. The task force shall make a report of its findings and recommendations, including proposed legislation if any, to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives on or before January 1, 1988. The Governor shall appoint a chairperson of the task force who shall preside. The task force may elect from among its membership such other officers as it deems advisable. The task force may establish such quorum, attendance, and other rules as it deems advisable. The members of the task force shall be entitled to that expense allowance and travel cost reimbursement allowed by Code Section 45-7-21 for members of boards and commissions. Any task force member who is a state employee or a member of another state agency or board will not be compensated by the task force for travel or other expenditures for which a per diem or reimbursement is made by the other state agency or board. The legislative members of the task force shall receive the compensation, per diem, expenses, and allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the task force shall conduct studies, research, investigations, and surveys into all facets of adult illiteracy. The task force shall completely analyze and assess adult illiteracy in Georgia, provide a consensus definition of what constitutes illiteracy, and define what constitutes effective adult literacy programs and services. The task force shall assess the extent of adult illiteracy in Georgia and identify the target population by demographic factors and geographic location; identify and quantify the services concurrently being provided; assess the effectiveness of current delivery systems and different instructional approaches; define the appropriate roles for volunteers as well as a mechanism for coordination of various resources; devise an effective mechanism for coordination of services by public and private providers; develop an adult literacy information base and a mechanism for regular updating; develop, where appropriate, methods for equitable and needs-based distribution of state funds to programs which are effectively serving adult illiterates; and establish priorities and an implementation schedule of short and long-range plans for addressing the adult literacy needs of the state. The task force is authorized to conduct meetings at such places and at such times as it considers expedient and to do all other things consistent with this resolution which are necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and adequately its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. Staff support for the task force shall be provided by the Office of the Governor with assistance from the Departments of Education, Labor, Corrections, and Human Resources; the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia; the Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education; the Office of Planning and Budget; and such other executive agencies which the chairperson may deem necessary. The chairperson, with the advice and consent of the task force, is also authorized to contract with consultant, research, and professional firms, institutions, or agencies for the conducting of studies and the gathering of such information as the task force may deem necessary. The task force and its duly authorized agents are empowered to inspect and study the records, books, and other documents of all involved state agencies and institutions of public education, both state and local, and at all levels thereof; and it shall be the duty of such agencies and institutions and all officials, employees, and agents thereof to assist and cooperate with the task force in the performance of its duties. The chairperson of the task force may designate and appoint committees to perform such functions as he or she may determine to be necessary. The task force

722

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

may, either by itself or through such committees, hold hearings, conduct investigations, and take any other action necessary or desirable to collect data and obtain information. The task force shall stand abolished January 1, 1988.

WHEREAS, there is no established employment policy by the state reflecting the economic and employment needs of thousands of severely disabled individuals who could become contributors within the labor force.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the State of Georgia develop a formal policy to promote the employment

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and for the purpose of

(e) All persons desiring to vote in favor of imposing the tax shall vote 'Yes' and all persons opposed to levying the tax shall vote 'No.' If more than one-half of the votes cast are in favor of imposing the tax then the tax shall be imposed as provided in this article; otherwise the tax shall not be imposed and the question of imposing the tax shall not again be submitted to the voters of the county until after 12 months immediately following the month in which the election was held. The election superintendent shall hold and conduct the election under the same rules and regulations as govern special elections. The superintendent shall canvass the returns, declare the result of the election, and certify the result to the Secretary of State and to the commissioner. The expense of the election shall be paid from county funds.
(f) (1) If the proposal includes the authority to issue general obligation debt and if more than one-half of the votes cast are in favor of the proposal, then the authority to issue such debt in accordance with Article IX, Section V, Paragraph I of the Constitution is given to the proper officers of the county; otherwise such debt shall not be issued. If the authority to issue such debt is so approved by the voters, then such debt may be issued without further approval by the voters.
(2) If the issuance of general obligation debt is included and approved as provided in this Code section, then the governing authority of the county may incur such debt either through the issuance and validation of general obligation bonds or through the execution of a promissory note or notes or other instrument or instruments. If such debt is incurred through the issuance of general obligation bonds, such bonds and their issuance and validation shall be subject to Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 82 of Title 36 except as specifically provided otherwise in this article. If such debt is incurred through the execution of a promissory note or notes or other instrument or instruments, no validation proceedings shall be necessary and such debt shall be subject to Code Sections 36-80-10 through 36-80-14 except as specifically provided otherwise in this article. In either event, such general obligation debt 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 general obligation debt shall, however, constitute a pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the county; and any liability on such debt which is not satisfied from the proceeds of the tax authorized by this article shall be satisfied from the general funds of the county. In no event shall any proceeds of a tax which is imposed pursuant to this article in whole or in part for road, street, or bridge purposes be used for payment of general obligation debt."
Section 2. Said article is further amended by striking Code Section 48-8-112, relating to imposition and termination of the tax, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"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.
(b) The tax shall cease to be imposed on the earliest of the following dates: (1) If the resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax provided for
the issuance of general obligation debt and such debt is the subject of validation proceedings, as of the end of the first calendar quarter ending more than 80 days after the date on which a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final order denying validation of such debt;
(2) On the final day of the maximum period of time specified for the imposition of the tax; or
(3) If the tax was imposed solely for purposes other than for road, street, and bridge purposes, as of the end of the calendar quarter during which the commissioner determines that the tax will have raised revenues sufficient to provide to the county

A county in which a tax authorized by this article is in effect may, while the tax is in effect, adopt a resolution or ordinance calling for the reimposition of a tax as authorized by this article upon the termination of the tax then in effect; and a special election may be held for this purpose while the tax is in effect. Proceedings for the reimposition of a tax shall be in the same manner as proceedings for the initial imposition of the tax, but the newly authorized tax shall not be imposed until the expiration of the tax then in effect. Following the expiration of a tax under this article, a county may likewise initiate proceedings for the reimposition of a tax under this article."
Section 3. Said article is further amended by striking Code Section 48-8-121, relating to use of proceeds of the tax, and inserting in its place a new Code section to read as follows:
"48-8-121. (a) The proceeds received from the tax authorized by this article shall be used by the county exclusively for the purpose or purposes 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.
(b) If the resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax specified that the proceeds of the tax are to be used in whole or in part for road, street, and bridge purposes, then authorized uses of the tax proceeds shall include acquisition of right of way for, construction of, and renovation and improvement of, including relocation of utilities for and improvement of surface water drainage from, roads, streets, and bridges both within the unincorporated area of the county and within the incorporated areas of municipalities within the county. If the resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax specified that the proceeds of the tax are to be used in whole or in part for road, street, and bridge purposes, then no part of the proceeds of the tax shall be used to retire general obligation debt.
(c) No general obligation debt shall be issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax authorized by this article when the tax is imposed in whole or in part for road, street, and bridge purposes. If the tax is imposed solely for purposes other than road, street, and bridge purposes, then no general obligation debt shall be issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax unless the county governing authority determines that, and if the debt is to be validated it is demonstrated in the validation proceedings that, during each year in which any payment of principal or interest on the debt comes due the county will receive from the tax authorized by this article net proceeds sufficient to fully satisfy such liability. General obligation debt 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 debt, however, shall constitute a pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the county; and any liability on said debt which is not satisfied from the proceeds of the tax authorized by this article shall be satisfied from the general funds of the county.
(d) The resolution or ordinance calling for imposition of the tax authorized by this article solely for purposes {other than for road, street, and bridge purposes) may specify that all of the proceeds of the tax will be used for payment of general obligation debt issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax. If the resolution or ordinance so provides, then such proceeds shall be used solely for such purpose except as provided in subsection (g) of this Code section.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(e) (1) The resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax authorized by this article solely for purposes (other than for road, street, and bridge purposes) may specify that a part of the proceeds of the tax will be used for payment of general obligation debt issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax. If the ordinance or resolution so provides, it shall specifically state the other purposes for which the such proceeds will be used; and such other purposes shall be a part of the capital outlay project or projects 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 general obligation debt for that year have first been satisfied from the account in which the proceeds of the tax are placed.
(2) In no event shall any proceeds of general obligation debt issued pursuant to this article be used for road, street, or bridge purposes. (f) The resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax may specify that no general obligation debt is to be issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax. If the ordinance or resolution so provides, it shall specifically state the purpose or purposes for which the proceeds will be used; and such purposes shall be foad, street, nd DFiQ^e purposes Of snflll oc ft pftrt or tne cspitfll outlfly project top wincn *ne tflx is to
(g) If the proceeds of the tax are specified to be used solely for the purpose of payment of general obligation debt issued in conjunction with the imposition of the tax, then any net proceeds of the tax in excess of the amount required for final payment of such debt shall be subject to and applied as provided in this subsection. If the county receives from the tax net proceeds (other than from a tax imposed in whole or in part for road, street, and bridge purposes) in excess of the maximum cost of the project or projects stated in the resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax or in excess of the actual cost of such project or projects, 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 debt, then all net proceeds received by the county from the tax shall be excess proceeds subject to this Code section subsection. 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 4. Said article is further amended by adding at the end thereof a new Code Section 48-8-122 to read as follows:
"48-8-122. This article shall be repealed upon the date on which an Act or constitutional amendment increasing the current 3 percent state sales and use tax to a rate in excess of 3 percent becomes effective. No county shall on or after such date adopt any resolution or ordinance calling for the imposition of the tax authorized by this article. With respect to taxes imposed under this article prior to such date, and proceedings commenced prior to such date for the imposition of taxes under this article, the provisions of this article shall continue to control until such previously imposed taxes, previously commenced proceedings, and taxes resulting from such previously commenced proceedings are terminated according to the provisions of this article."
Section 5. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval.
Section 6. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

HR 98. By Representatives Robinson of the 58th, Watson of the 114th, Hamilton of the 124th, Pettit of the 19th, Green of the 106th and others:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Joint Comprehensive Energy Resources Policy Committee; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, energy in an adequate supply and at a reasonable price continues to be an important element in this state's economic vitality; and
WHEREAS, recently declining costs for some forms of energy ought not to lull this state into inattention to developing both a short-term and a long-term energy resources policy; and
WHEREAS, the rate of increase in the cost of other forms of energy may have leveled off temporarily, thus creating less public interest in such matters; and
WHEREAS, the likely inclusion of at least some of the costs of Plant Vogtle into the rate base of electricity consumers in this state will once again thrust energy issues into the forefront of public concerns; and
WHEREAS, the state needs to formulate both a short-term and a long-term energy resources policy to ensure that Georgians in the immediate and distant future will have sufficient supplies of energy at affordable prices; and
WHEREAS, such policies should include without being limited to a consideration of alternative energy developments, cogeneration, and certificates of need for additional power-generating facilities.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1987

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that members of the executive branch of government who deal with energy issues, including but not limited to the consumers' utility counsel, the director of the Office of Energy Resources, and the members of the Public Service Commission, shall cooperate with the committee in its investigations. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or advisable to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution.

Chairman

The following minority report was received and read:

MINORITY COMMITTEE REPORT ON SB 75
The undersigned members of the House Committee on Industrial Relations file this minority report on SB 75 for the following reasons:
1. Senate Bill 75 which was reported out of committee by substitute would unjustly penalize over 16,000 Georgia families who would be eligible to receive unemployment compensation benefits under existing law in order to increase benefits for other workers.
2. The committee substitute violates the basic public policy reason for the existence of the unemployment compensation system in that it attempts to identify good and bad workers for the purpose of funding an increase in benefits rather than funding such increase through additional payroll taxes.

Attached to this minority report is a substitute bill which the undersigned members presented to the committee but which was not adopted. The attached substitute represents the views of the undersigned members.

The amount included for attorney's fees shall not exceed 25 percent of the excess of the amount of the verdict over the amount of the award appealed from. The judge shall decide whether such expenses are warranted after a consideration of the following:
(A) The ultimate success of the appeal by the condemnee; (B) The existence of a legitimate question regarding just and adequate compensation; (C) The existence of other issues on appeal; (D) A disparity of greater than 25 percent between the last firm offer by a condemnor and the amount awarded in the proceeding from which the appeal was taken; (E) A disparity in the proceeding from which the appeal was taken between the amount awarded to the condemnee compared with similar awards; (F) Other circumstances which serve to indicate that an appeal was not frivolous or for the purpose of harassment or delay; and (G) Any consequential benefits immediately available to the condemnee resulting from the project. (4) For any case on appeal in the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals in which a judgment is returned in favor of the condemnee, the appellate court shall award reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees in connection with the appeal, to the condemnee."

(A) A product liability case in which the plaintiff has been unable to examine the product because the product has not been available for inspection; or
(B) Any case in which the period of limitation will expire within ten days of the date of filing and, because of such time constraints, the plaintiff has alleged that an affidavit of an expert could not be prepared. (2) In cases enumerated in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the plaintiff shall have 45 days after the filing of the complaint to supplement the pleadings with the affidavit. (c) If an affidavit is filed after the filing of a complaint, as allowed under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Code section, the defendant shall not be required to file an answer to the complaint and affidavit until 30 days after the filing of the affidavit. (d) This Code section shall not be construed to extend any applicable period of limitation."

(b) The contemporaneous filing requirement of subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to any case in which the period of limitation will expire within ten days of the date of filing and, because of such time constraints, the plaintiff has alleged that an affidavit of an expert could not be prepared. In such cases, the plaintiff shall have 45 days after the filing of the complaint to supplement the pleadings with the affidavit. The trial court may, on motion, after hearing and for good cause extend such time as it shall determine justice requires.

(d) This Code section shall not be construed to extend any applicable period of limitation."
Section 4. Chapter 1 of Title 51 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions affecting torts, is amended by inserting immediately following Code Section 51-1-29 a new Code section, to be designated Code Section 51-1-29.1, to read as follows:

(1) No health care provider licensed under Chapter 11, 26, or 34 of Title 43 who voluntarily and without the expectation or receipt of compensation provides professional services, within the scope of such health care provider's licensure, for and at the request of a hospital, public school, nonprofit organization, or an agency of the state or one of its political subdivisions or provides such professional services to a person at the request of such an organization, which organization does not expect or receive compensation with respect to such services from the recipient of such services; or

(b) This Code section shall apply only to causes of action arising on or after July 1, 1987."

Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 51-12-1, relating to types of damages, and inserting in its place a new Code Section 51-12-1 to read as follows:
"51-12-1. (a) Damages may be either general or special, direct or consequential. (b) In any civil action, whether in tort or m contract, for the recovery of damages arising from a tortious injury in which special damages are sought to be recovered or evidence of same is otherwise introduced by the plaintiff, evidence of all compensation, indemnity, insurance (other than life insurance), wage loss replacement, income replacement, or disability benefits or payments available to the injured party from any and all governmental or private sources and the cost of providing and the extent of such available benefits or payments shall be admissible for consideration by the trier of fact. The trier of fact, in its discretion, may consider such available benefits or payments and the cost thereof but shall not be directed to reduce an award of damages accordingly."
Section 4. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 51-12-5, relating to additional damages for aggravating circumstances, and inserting in its place a new Code Section 51-12-5 to read as follows:
"51-12-5. (a) In a tort action in which there are aggravating circumstances, in either the act or the intention, the jury may give additional damages to deter the wrongdoer from repeating the trespass or as compensation for the wounded feelings of the plaintiff.
(b) This Code section shall apply only to causes of action for torts arising before July 1, 1987."
Section 5. Said title is further amended by inserting immediately following Code Section 51-12-5 a new Code section, to be designated Code Section 51-12-5.1, to read as follows:
"51-12-5.1. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'punitive damages' is synonymous with the terms 'vindictive damages,' 'exemplary damages,' and other descriptions of additional damages awarded because of aggravating circumstances in order to penalize, punish, or deter a defendant.
(b) Punitive damages may be awarded only in such tort actions in which it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant's actions showed willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, oppression, or that entire want of care which would raise the presumption of conscious indifference to consequences.
(c) Punitive damages shall be awarded not as compensation to a plaintiff but solely to punish, penalize, or deter a defendant.
(d) (1) An award of punitive damages must be specifically prayed for in a complaint. In any case in which punitive damages are claimed, the trier of fact shall first resolve from the evidence produced at trial whether an award of punitive damages shall be made. This finding shall be made specially through an appropriate form of verdict, along with the other required findings.
(2) If it is found that punitive damages are to be awarded, the trial shall immediately be recommenced in order to receive such evidence as is relevant to a decision

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1987

1195

regarding what amount of damages will be sufficient to deter, penalize, or punish the defendant in light of the circumstances of the case. It shall then be the duty of the trier of fact to set the amount to be awarded according to subsection (e), (f), or (g) of this Code section, as applicable. (e) (1) In a tort case in which the cause of action arises from product liability, there shall be no limitation regarding the amount which may be awarded as punitive damages. Only one award of punitive damages may be recovered in a court in this state from a defendant for any act or omission if the cause of action arises from product liability, regardless of the number of causes of action which may arise from such act or omission.
(2) Seventy-five percent of any amounts awarded under this subsection as punitive damages, less a proportionate part of the costs of litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees, all as determined by the trial judge, shall be paid into the treasury of the state through the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services. Upon issuance of judgment in such a case, the state shall have all rights due a judgment creditor until such judgment is satisfied and shall stand on equal footing with the plaintiff of the original case in securing a recovery after payment to the plaintiff of damages awarded other than as punitive damages. A judgment debtor may remit the state's proportional share of punitive damages to the clerk of the court in which the judgment was rendered. It shall be the duty of the clerk to pay over such amounts to the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services within 60 days of receipt from the judgment debtor. This paragraph shall not be construed as making the state a party at interest and the sole right of the state is to the proceeds as provided in this paragraph. (f) In a tort case in which the cause of action does not arise from product liability, if it is found that the defendant acted, or failed to act, with the specific intent to cause harm, there shall be no limitation regarding the amount which may be awarded as punitive damages. (g) For any tort action not provided for by subsection (e) or (f) of this Code section in which the trier of fact has determined that punitive damages are to be awarded, the amount which may be awarded in the case shall be limited to a maximum of $250,000.00.
(h) This Code section shall apply only to causes of action arising on or after July 1, 1987."

Section 6. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 51-12-6, relating to the measure of damages for injury to peace, happiness, or feelings, and inserting in its place a new Code Section 51-12-6 to read as follows:
"51-12-6. In a tort action in which the entire injury is to the peace, happiness, or feelings of the plaintiff, no measure of damages can be prescribed except the enlightened consciences of impartial jurors. In such a ease; the worldly circumstances of the parties, tnc amount of Dad taitii tw trie transaction, and ttn tne attendant tacts snould Tic wcigncd! and tnc verdict 01 tnc jury snould not we disturbed unless tne court suspects bias or prejudice from tts excess or its inadequacy an action, punitive damages under Code Section 51-12-5 or Code Section 51-12-5.1 shall not be awarded."
Section 7. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 51-12-12, relating to determination of damages, and inserting in its place a new Code Section 51-12-12 to read as follows:
"51-12-12. (a) The question of damages is ordinarily one for the jury; and the court should not interfere with the jury's discretion verdict unless the damages awarded by
or undue bias clearly so inadequate or so excessive as to be inconsistent with the preponderance of the evidence in the case.
(b) If the jury's award of damages is clearly so inadequate or so excessive as to any party as to be inconsistent with the preponderance of the evidence, the trial court may order a new trial as to damages only, as to any or all parties, or may condition the grant

1196

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of such a new trial upon any party's refusal to accept an amount determined by the trial court.
(c) Only one grant of a new trial by the judge may be based upon the powers conferred by this Code section. The first grant of a new trial other than one ordered under this Code section and which order granting the new trial is not based on this Code section shall remain governed by Code Section 5-5-50."
Section 8. Said title is further amended by striking in their entirety Code Section 51-12-31, relating to the recovery against joint trespassers, and Code Section 51-12-32, relating to the right of contribution among joint trespassers and the effects of settlement, and inserting in their place new Code Sections 51-12-31, 51-12-32, and 51-12-33 to read as follows:
"51-12-31. W}ere Except as provided in Code Section 51-12-33, where an action is brought jointly against several trespassers, the plaintiff may recover damages for the greatest injury done by any of the defendants against all of them. In its verdict, the jury may specify the particular damages to be recovered of each defendant. Judgment in such a case must be entered severally.
51-12-32. (a) Where Except as provided in Code Section 51-12-33, where a tortious act does not involve moral turpitude, contribution among several trespassers may be enforced just as if an action had been brought against them jointly. Without the necessity of being charged by action or judgment, the right of a joint trespasser to contribution from another or others shall continue unabated and shall not be lost or prejudiced by compromise and settlement of a claim or claims for injury to person or property or for wrongful death and release therefrom.
(b) If judgment is entered jointly against several trespassers and is paid off by one of them, the others shall be liable to him for contribution.
(c) Without the necessity of being charged by an action or judgment, the right of indemnity, express or implied, from another or others shall continue unabated and shall not be lost or prejudiced by compromise and settlement of a claim or claims for injury to person or property or for wrongful death and release therefrom.
51-12-33. (a) Where an action is brought against more than one person for injury to person or property and the plaintiff is himself to some degree responsible for the injury or damages claimed, the trier of fact, in its determination of the total amount of damages to be awarded, if any, may apportion its award of damages among the persons who are liable and whose degree of fault is greater than that of the injured party according to the degree of fault of each person. Damages, if apportioned by the trier of fact as provided in this Code section, shall be the liability of each person against whom they are awarded, shall not be a joint liability among the persons liable, and shall not be subject to any right of contribution.
(b) Subsection (a) of this Code section shall not affect venue provisions regarding joint actions.
(c) This Code section shall apply only to causes of action arising on or after July 1^ 1987."
Section 9. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"15-11-49. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section, a juvenile traffic offense consists of a violation by a person under the age of 16 of:
(1) A law or local ordinance governing the operation of a moving motor vehicle upon the streets or highways of this state or upon the waterways within or adjoining this state; or
(2) Any other motor vehicle traffic law or local ordinance if the child is taken into custody and detained for its violation or is transferred to the juvenile court by the court hearing the charge. (b) A juvenile traffic offense is not an act of delinquency unless the case is transferred to the delinquency calendar as provided in subsection (g) of this Code section. (c) A juvenile traffic offense shall not include any offense to which Code Section 40-5-54 or Code Section 40-5-70 is applicable. (d) The summons, notice to appear, or other designation of a citation accusing a child of committing a juvenile traffic offense constitutes the commencement of the proceedings in the court of the county in which the alleged violation occurred and serves in place of a summons and petition under this article. These cases shall be filed and heard separately from other proceedings of the court. If the child is taken into custody on the charge, Code Sections 15-11-18 and 15-11-21 shall apply. If the child is, or after commencement of the proceedings becomes, a resident of another county of this state, Code Section 15-11-16 shall apply. (e) The court shall fix a time for a hearing and shall give reasonable notice thereof to the child and, if their address is known, to the parents, guardian, or custodian. If the accusation made in the summons, notice to appear, or other designation of a citation is denied, an informal hearing shall be held at which the parties shall have the right to subpoena witnesses, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and appear by counsel. The hearing shall be open to the public. (f) If the court finds on the admission of the child or upon the evidence that he committed the offense charged, it may make one or more of the following orders:
(1) Reprimand or counsel with the child and his parents; (2) Suspend the child's privilege to drive under stated conditions and limitations for a period not to exceed that authorized for an adult for the conviction of a like offense; (3) Require the child to attend a traffic school conducted by public authority for a reasonable period of time; or (4) Order the child to remit to the general fund of the county a sum not exceeding the maximum applicable to an adult for a like offense. (g) In lieu of the preceding orders, if the evidence indicates the advisability thereof, the court may transfer the case to the delinquency calendar of the court and direct the filing and service of a summons and petition in accordance with this article. The judge so ordering is disqualified, upon objection, from acting further in the case prior to an adjudication that the child committed a delinquent act.", and substituting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 15-11-49 to read as follows: "15-11-49. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Title 40 which grant jurisdiction over traffic offenses to certain courts, the juvenile court shall have exclusive original jurisdiction over juvenile traffic offenses. A juvenile traffic offense consists of a violation by a person under the age of 17 who is not a licensed driver of one or more of the following:

1228

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(1) A law or local ordinance governing the operation of a moving motor vehicle upon the streets or highways of this state or upon the waterways within or adjoining this state; or
(2) Any other motor vehicle traffic law or local ordinance if the child is taken into custody and detained for its violation or is transferred to the juvenile court by the court hearing the charge. (b) A juvenile traffic offense is not an act of delinquency unless the case is transferred to the delinquency calendar as provided in subsection (h) of this Code section. (c) The juvenile court shall comply with all applicable provisions of Title 40 when hearing juvenile traffic offenses, including such cases transferred to the delinquency calendar, to the extent such title is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Code section and this chapter. (d) The uniform traffic citation accusing a child of committing a juvenile traffic offense constitutes the commencement of the proceedings in the court of the county in which the alleged violation occurred and serves in place of a summons and petition under this chapter. These cases shall be filed and heard separately from other proceedings of the court. If the child is taken into custody on the charge, Code Sections 15-11-18 and 15-11-21 shall apply. If the child is, or after commencement of the proceedings becomes, a resident of another county of this state, Code Section 15-11-16 shall apply. (e) The court shall fix a time for a hearing and shall give reasonable notice thereof to the child and, if their address is known, to the parents, guardian, or custodian. If the accusation made in the summons, notice to appear, or other designation of a citation is denied, an informal hearing shall be held at which the parties shall have the right to subpoena witnesses, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and appear by counsel. The hearing shall be open to the public. (f) If the court finds on the admission of the child or upon the evidence that he committed the offense charged, it may make one or more of the following orders:
(1) Reprimand or counsel with the child and his parents; (2) Require the child to participate in a program of community service as specified by the court; (3) Order the child to remit to the general fund of the county a sum not exceeding the maximum applicable to an adult for a like offense; (4) Impose any sanction authorized by Title 40 to be imposed on an adult for a like offense, except that the period of actual confinement imposed shall not exceed two years; or (5) Place the child on probation subject to the conditions and limitations imposed by Title 40 on probation granted to adults for like offenses, but such probation shall be supervised by the court as provided in Code Section 15-11-35. (g) If a fine is assessed under subsection (f) of this Code section, the fine shall be subject to all additions and penalties as specified for fines under Title 40, including, but not limited to, amounts for peace officer and prosecutor training and amounts for retirement funds. (h) In lieu of the preceding orders, if the evidence indicates the advisability thereof, the court may transfer the case to the delinquency calendar of the court and direct the filing and service of a summons and petition in accordance with this chapter. The judge so ordering is disqualified, upon objection, from acting further in the case prior to an adjudication that the child committed a delinquent act. (i) Upon a finding that the child has committed a juvenile traffic offense which would be a violation of Title 40 if committed by an adult, the court shall forward, within 15 days, a report of the final adjudication and disposition of the charge to the Department of Public Safety. The Department of Public Safety shall record the adjudication and disposition of the offense. Such record shall also be available to law enforcement agencies and courts as are the permanent traffic records of adults."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL
To amend Chapter 1 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to penal institutions in general, so as to provide that if any inmate of any institution injures or contacts a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, fireman, emergency medical technician, or other person in such a manner as to present a possible threat of transmission of a communicable disease, then the warden, jailer, or other appropriate official may take all reasonable steps to determine whether the inmate has a communicable disease; to provide that such steps may include medical examination and the collection of medical specimens; to provide that upon failure of an inmate to cooperate in such procedures, the superior court may issue a warrant authorizing the use of any degree of force reasonably necessary to complete such procedures; to provide for the cost of such procedures to be borne by the jurisdiction having custody of the inmate; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 1 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to penal institutions in general, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Code Section 42-1-6 to read as follows:
"42-1-6. If any inmate of any state or county correctional institution, county or municipal jail, or other similar facility, while such inmate is in custody or in the process of being taken into custody, injures or has injured or contacts or has contacted a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, fireman, emergency medical technician, or other person in such a manner as to present a possible threat of transmission of a communicable disease to the person so injured or contacted, then the warden, jailer, or other official having charge of such inmate may take all reasonable steps to determine whether the inmate has a communicable disease capable of being transmitted by the injury or contact involved. Such steps may include, but shall not be limited to, any appropriate medical examination of or collection of medical specimens from the inmate. In the event an inmate refuses to cooperate in any such procedures, the warden, jailer, or other official may apply to the superior court of the county for an order authorizing the use of any degree of force reasonably necessary to complete such procedures. Upon a showing of probable cause that the injury presents the threat of transmission of a communicable disease, the court shall issue an order authorizing the petitioner to use reasonable measures to perform any medical procedures reasonably necessary to ascertain whether a communicable disease has been transmitted. In addition to any other grounds sufficient to show probable cause for the issuance of such an order, such probable cause may be conclusively established by evidence of the injury or contact in question and a statement by a licensed physician that the nature of the injury or contact is such as to present a threat of transmission of a communicable disease if the inmate has such a disease. The cost of any procedures carried out under this Code section shall be borne by the jurisdiction having custody of the inmate."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"Section 2. There is hereby created in each county in which this Act is applicable a body corporate and politic to be known as the County Building Authority of such county which shall be deemed to be an instrumentality of the State of Georgia and a public corporation, and by that name, style, and title, said body may contract and be contracted with, sue and be sued, implead and be impleaded, and complain and defend in all courts of law and equity. The Authority shall consist of the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, the County Manager, and the Director of Finance of such county or, in the event that such offices shall not exist in such county, the elected official who shall be the sole executive authority or the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, the nonelected official who shall be the chief administrative officer of such county, and the individual who shall be or perform the functions of the County Treasurer.

shall also consist of two members of the Board of Commissioners who shall be elected by the Board of Commissioners within 30 days after the effective date of this Act and every four years thereafter at the first meeting of the Board of Commissioners held in January following their election. If the Board of Commissioners consists of less than three members, all of the members of the Board of Commissioners shall also be members of the Authority. Immediately upon the passage and approval of this Act, the members of the Authority shall enter upon their duties. The Authority shall elect one of its members as chairman and shall elect a secretary and treasurer who need not necessarily be a member of the Authority. No vacancy on the Authority shall impair the right of the quorum to exercise all the rights and perform all the duties of the Authority. The members of the Authority shall not be entitled to compensation for their services but shall be entitled to and shall be reimbursed for their actual expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties. The Authority shall make rules and regulations for its own government. It shall have perpetual existence. Any change in name or composition of the Authority shall in no way affect the vested rights of any person under the provisions of this Act or impair the obligations of any contracts existing under this Act."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 5 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 5 to read as follows:
"Section 5. (a) The Authority, or any Authority or body which has or which may in the future succeed to the powers, duties, and liabilities vested in the Authority created hereby, is authorized to provide by resolution for the issuance of negotiable revenue bonds in an amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $75,000,000.00 for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost as herein defined of any one or combination of projects.
(b) In addition to the authorization under subsection (a) of this section, the Authority, or any Authority or body which may in the future succeed to the powers, duties, and liabilities vested in the Authority created hereby, is authorized to provide by resolution on or prior to January 1, 1989, for the issuance of negotiable revenue bonds in an amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $75,000,000.00 to be allocated solely for a project comprised of judicial facilities and facilities related thereto. Bonds issued pursuant to this subsection shall be refundable as otherwise provided in this Act.
(c) The principal and interest of such revenue bonds shall be payable solely from the special fund herein provided for such payment. The bonds of each issue shall be dated and shall be payable in such medium of payment as to both principal and interest as may be determined by the Authority and may be made redeemable before maturity, at the option of the Authority, at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the Authority in the resolution providing for the issuance of the bonds. The interest rate on or rates to be borne by any bonds, notes, or other obligations issued by the Authority shall be fixed by resolution of the Authority, and any limitations with respect to interest rates found in the Revenue Bond Law or the usury laws of the State of Georgia shall not apply to Authority obligations."
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

A RESOLUTION
Creating the Study Committee on Perinatal Services in County Health Departments; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives continues to be concerned about Georgia's high rates of infant mortality and low birth weight; and
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives recognizes that adequate prenatal and postnatal care help to reduce infant mortality and low birth weight and desires that every mother and child have access to these services; and
WHEREAS, many low-income Georgia mothers rely on county health departments for this perinatal care; and
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives recognizes also that health department resources, services, and operating procedures vary widely among counties and that women in some counties are unable to receive adequate services within their counties of residence; and
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives desires information on the adequacy of services in each county and the degree to which adequate services can be developed within counties or through sharing services among counties so that county lines do not constitute a barrier to adequate care.

(1) Five members of the House of Representatives; (2) A representative of the Division of Public Health of the Department of Human Resources; (3) Two representatives of organizations working to improve health care for Georgia's mothers and children; and (4) Two representatives of county boards of health.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall study the adequacy of perinatal services available in county health departments and shall examine ways in which adequate services can be developed either within individual counties or through sharing arrangements so that county lines do not constitute a barrier to the receipt of appropriate services by Georgia mothers and children. The committee shall undertake a study of the problems mentioned above and any other problems related thereto and recommend necessary steps needed to be undertaken to alleviate any such problems. The committee may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The members of the committee, except for the member representing the Department of Human Resources, shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than eight days.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Article 2 of Chapter 8 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, known as the "State-wide Probation Act," so as to provide for state participation in the cost of funding certain county probation systems under certain conditions; to provide that county probation systems, including state court adult probation systems, of each county having a population of more than 100,000 in any metropolitan statistical area having a population of not less than 200,000 nor more than 230,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census shall become a part of the statewide probation system on a certain date; to provide that employees of each such county probation system shall, at their option, become employees of the Department of Corrections and be subject to the salary schedules and other personnel policies of the department, except that the salaries of such employees shall not be reduced; to provide that when an employee of each such county probation system becomes an employee of the Department of Corrections at the same or a greater salary, the change in employment shall not constitute involuntary separation or termination from employment within the meaning of any local retirement or pension system of which the employee was a member at the time of such change in employment and that the change in employment shall not entitle the employee to begin receiving any retirement or pension benefit whatsoever under any such local retirement or pension system; to provide that leave time accrued by an employee of such county probation system shall not be transferable; to provide for other matters relative to the foregoing; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 2 of Chapter 8 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, known as the "State-wide Probation Act," is amended by adding between Code Sections 42-8-43.1 and 42-8-44 a new Code Section 42-8-43.2 to read as follows:
"42-8-43.2. (a) This Code section shall apply to county probation systems, including state court adult probation systems, of each county having a population of more than 100,000 in any metropolitan statistical area having a population of not less than 200,000 nor more than 230,000 according to the United States decennial census of 1980 or any future such census, any provision of Code Section 42-8-43 to the contrary notwithstanding. The department shall participate in the cost of the county probation systems subject to this Code section for fiscal year 1987-88. The department shall compute the state cost per probationer on a state-wide basis for such fiscal year pursuant to the formula used by the Office of Planning and Budget to determine the state cost for probation for budgetary purposes. For said fiscal year, the department shall pay to the governing authority of each county maintaining a county probation system subject to this Code section 10 percent of the state-wide cost per probationer for each probationer being supervised under the respective county probation system as of the first day of said

1472

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

fiscal year. The funds necessary to participate in the cost of county probation systems under this subsection shall come from funds appropriated to the department for the purposes of providing state participation in the cost of county probation systems. The payments to counties provided for in this subsection shall be made by, or pursuant to the order of, the department in single lump sum payment for fiscal year 1987-88, with the payment being made by May 1, 1988. As a condition necessary for a county to qualify for department participation in the cost of the county's probation system, the county shall cause to be made an independent audit of the financial affairs and transactions of all funds and activities of the county probation system and agree to be responsible for any discrepancies, obligations, debts, or liabilities of such county probation system which may exist prior to the department's participation in the cost of the county's probation system. As a further condition necessary for a county to qualify for department participation in the cost of the county's probation system, the employees of such county probation systems shall be subject to the supervision, control, and direction of the department.
(b) The county probation system of any such county shall become a part of the state-wide probation system provided for by this article effective July 1, 1988, and shall be fully funded from state funds as part of the state-wide probation system beginning with fiscal year 1988-89. The employees of such county probation system, at their option, shall become employees of the department on the date said county system becomes a part of the state-wide probation system and, on or after said date, said employees shall be subject to the salary schedules and other personnel policies of the department, except that the salaries of such employees shall not be reduced as a result of becoming employees of the department.
(c) When an employee of a county probation system becomes an employee of the department pursuant to subsection (b) of this Code section at the same or a greater salary, the change in employment shall not constitute involuntary separation from service or termination of employment within the meaning of any local retirement or pension system of which the employee was a member at the time of such change in employment, and the change in employment shall not entitle the employee to begin receiving any retirement or pension benefit whatsoever under any such local retirement or pension system.
(d) No leave time accrued by an employee of a county probation system shall be transferred when the employee becomes a state employee. Any leave time accrued by an employee of such county probation system shall be satisfied as a debt owed to the employee by the county."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval; provided, however, that state funding under this Act shall not commence until fiscal year 1987-88.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 2 of Article 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, known as the "Fair Business Practices Act of 1975," is amended by adding at the end of Code Section 10-1-393, relating to unfair or deceptive practices in consumer transactions, a new subsection (d) to read as follows:
"(d) (1) As used in this subsection, the term 'ADAD equipment' means any device or system of devices which is used, whether alone or in conjunction with other equipment, for the purpose of automatically selecting or dialing telephone numbers and disseminating prerecorded messages to the numbers so selected or dialed.
(2) It shall be an unfair act or practice in the conduct of consumer transactions and unlawful for any person to use, to employ or direct another person to use, or to contract for the use of ADAD equipment for the purpose of advertising or offering for sale, lease, rental, or as a gift any goods, services, or property, either real or personal, primarily for personal, family, or household use or for the purpose of conducting polls or soliciting information where:
(A) Consent is not received prior to the initiation of the calls as specified in paragraph (3) of this subsection;
(B) Except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, such use is other than between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. on Monday through Friday or other than between the hours of 12:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. on Saturday or Sunday;
(C) Such use is on a holiday; (D) The ADAD equipment is not so designed and equipped with an automatic clock and calendar device or will not operate unattended, even in the event of power failures, to prevent unattended operation in violation of subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph; (E) Such use involves either the random or sequential dialing of telephone numbers; (F) Such use involves calls to telephone numbers which at the request of the customer have been omitted from the telephone directory published by the local exchange company serving the customer or involves calls to hospitals, nursing homes, fire protection agencies, or law enforcement agencies; (G) The automatic dialing and recorded message player does not automatically and immediately terminate its connection with any telephone call after the person called fails to give consent for the playing of a recorded message or hangs up his or her telephone; (H) The recorded message fails to state clearly the name and telephone number of the person or organization initiating the call within the first 25 seconds of the call and at the conclusion of the call; or (I) The telephone number required to be stated in subparagraph (H) of this paragraph is not one which during normal business hours is promptly answered in person by a person who is an agent of the person on whose behalf the automatic calls are made and who is willing and able to provide information concerning the automatic calls. (3) (A) A person may give consent to a call made with ADAD equipment when a line operator introduces the call and intent to play a recorded message. Any such consent shall apply only to one particular call and shall not constitute prior consent to receive further calls through the use of such ADAD equipment.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1987

1475

(B) Any person wishing to receive telephone calls through the use of ADAD equipment shall give his or her written consent to the person using, employing or directing another person to use, or contracting for the use of such ADAD equipment. A record of such written consent shall be maintained by the person to whom consent is given and shall be made available to the administrator or his authorized representative, without further action, during normal business hours and following reasonable notice. Such consent shall, unless withdrawn, be valid for a period of two years from the date on which it is executed; and such record of written consent shall be maintained by the person to whom consent is given for at least the same period of time. Any consent to receive telephone calls through the use of ADAD equipment shall be void and withdrawn on the fifteenth day following the receipt of a letter withdrawing such consent. It shall be unlawful for any person to whom written consent is given to fail to maintain the record of such written consent for the time period required by this paragraph or to prevent or hinder the administrator or his authorized representative from inspecting any such record of written consent. (4) It shall be an unfair act or practice in the conduct of consumer transactions and unlawful for any person to connect any ADAD equipment to any telephone line in this state for the purpose of making telephone calls to persons in this state through the use of ADAD equipment unless a permit has been issued for such ADAD equipment by the administrator. Any person desiring to use ADAD equipment in this state shall make application for a permit to the administrator on forms prescribed by the administrator and shall pay a fee as prescribed by the administrator for such permit. Permits shall be renewed biennially as prescribed by the administrator and upon payment of a renewal fee. The fees charged shall cover the administrative cost for the issuance of such permits. (5) The provisions of this subsection shall supersede any prior rule, regulation, or order of the Public Service Commission governing the use of ADAD equipment but shall not prohibit or supersede any future rule, regulation, or order of the Public Service Commission governing the use of ADAD equipment except to the extent that any such rule, regulation, or order directly conflicts with this subsection. The Public Service Commission and the administrator are charged with the responsibility of enforcing this subsection; and the Public Service Commission shall require local exchange companies to file with the Public Service Commission appropriate tariff revisions to implement this subsection. Any person who operates or utilizes ADAD equipment in violation of the provisions of this subsection shall be subject to disconnection of telephone service if the violation does not cease within ten days from the date of notification to such person by the local exchange company; and the tariff revisions filed by local exchange companies shall provide for the giving of such notification by local exchange companies and for such disconnection of service. (6) This subsection shall not prohibit the use of ADAD equipment:
(A) When calls are made with ADAD equipment by a nonprofit organization, or by an individual using such calls other than for commercial profit-making purposes, and the calls do not involve the advertisement or offering for sale, lease, or rental of goods, services, or property;
(B) When calls made with ADAD equipment relate solely to payment for, service of, or warranty coverage of previously ordered or purchased goods or services; or
(C) When calls made with ADAD equipment relate solely to collection of lawful debts. (7) Any person who violates any provision of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

Representative Steinberg of the 46th moved that the House disagree to the Senate substitute to HB 43.
The motion prevailed.

HB 263. By Representative Watson of the 114th:
A bill to amend Chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to selling and other trade practices, so as to require a franchisor to honor the transfer of a dealership by or through sale, a gift, a will, or the laws of descent and distribution, provided that the purchaser or successor meets the usual and customary conditions and requirements of a dealer as prescribed in writing by the franchisor.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL
To amend Chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to selling and other trade practices, so as to authorize a dealer engaged in the retail sale of petroleum products, upon his death or retirement, to designate a certain family member who shall be offered a trial franchise by the producer or redistributor; to define certain terms; to provide for the designation of the family member entitled to the trial franchise; to provide certain standards and conditions applicable to the trial franchise; to provide for a change in the family member entitled to a trial franchise under certain conditions; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to selling and other trade practices, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Article 25 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 25
10-1-720. As used in this article, the term: (1) 'Adult' means any person who is not a minor. (2) 'Dealer' means any person, other than an agent or employee of a producer or
redistributor, who is engaged in the retail sale of petroleum products under a franchise agreement as defined in paragraph (4) of this Code section.
(3) 'Designated family member' means the adult spouse, the adult child of the dealer, or the spouse of an adult child of the dealer who has experience in the service station business and who, in the case of the dealer's death or retirement, is designated by the dealer as entitled to be offered a trial franchise as such term is defined in the federal Petroleum Marketing Practices Act (15 U.S.C., paragraph 2801, et seq.).
(4) 'Franchise' or 'franchise agreement' means an agreement between a producer and a dealer or a redistributor and a dealer under which the dealer is granted the right to:
(A) Use a trademark, trade name, service mark, or other identifying symbol or name owned by the producer or redistributor; or
(B) Occupy a service station owned, leased, or controlled by the producer or redistributor for the purpose of engaging in the retail sale of petroleum products of the producer or redistributor.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1987

1495

(5) 'Producer' means every person who produces, refines, manufactures, processes, blends, or otherwise alters any motor fuel and other petroleum products for sale or use in this state and every person who distributes any motor fuel and other petroleum products for resale in this state.
(6) 'Redistributor' means any person who sells petroleum products for resale at retail.
(7) 'Service station' means any filling station, store, garage, or other place of business in this state engaging in the retail sale of motor fuel and other petroleum products. 10-1-721. (a) Effective January 1, 1988, no franchise agreement entered into between a producer and a dealer or a redistributor and a dealer shall deny a dealer the rights provided in this Code section. (b) A dealer shall have the right, effective upon his death or retirement, to have the producer or redistributor offer a trial franchise to the designated family member who has been approved by the producer or redistributor in accordance with the producer's or redistributor's reasonable standard for personal and financial condition unless the producer or redistributor shows that the designated family member no longer meets the reasonable standards set at the time of the previous approval. The foregoing shall not prohibit a producer or redistributor from requiring that the designated family member accept the trial franchise within 30 days of the dealer's death or retirement and that the designated family member attend a training program offered by the producer or redistributor. As used in this Code section, the term 'trial franchise' shall have the same meaning as provided in the federal Petroleum Marketing Practices Act (15 U.S.C., paragraph 2801, et seq.). (c) A dealer and a producer or a dealer and a redistributor may mutually agree to change the family member designated. The designated family member shall provide, upon the request of the producer or redistributor, personal and financial data that are reasonably necessary to determine whether he or she meets the producer's or redistributor's reasonable standards. The producer or redistributor shall not be obligated to accept a designated family member under this subsection who does not meet the producer's or redistributor's reasonable standards but any refusal to accept the designated family member shall be given by the producer or redistributor in writing to the dealer and shall fairly state the reason therefor."
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by, or in the right of, the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable fof negligence df misconduct in the performance ef- his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Code section or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this Code section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made:
(1) By the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding;
(2) If such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
(3) By the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon.

The following Senate substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Chapter 9 of Title 33 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the regulation of insurance rates and rate making, so as to authorize the Commissioner of Insurance to approve property or casualty insurance rates, policies, or contracts prior to their use upon a determination that a lack of competition or availability exists; to authorize the Commissioner to implement by order a plan to provide insurance coverages to citizens of this state by equitable apportionment among all property and casualty insurers licensed to transact those types of insurance; to provide that insurance rates, rating plans, rating systems, and underwriting rules must be filed with the Commissioner at least 45 days prior to any indicated effective date and will not become effective unless so filed; to require the Commissioner to order an examination to determine the accuracy of claim reserves and claim reserve practices of an insurer when a rate filing results in any overall rate increase of 25 percent or more in any 12 month period; to authorize examinations in other rate filings; to prohibit the use of such rate until the examination is completed; to provide a time limit for review and certification of such examination; to provide for assessments against the parties of costs incurred by the Commissioner in conducting hearings; to authorize the Commissioner to prepare a study evaluating the impact of certain changes in the civil law and to contract with parties to aid in the preparation of such study; to provide that insurers shall furnish data required for such study; to provide that the results of such study shall be furnished to the General Assembly; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 9 of Title 33 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the regulation of insurance rates and rate making, is amended by redesignating subsection (e) of Code Section 33-9-8, relating to the requirement of agreements among admitted insurers for the apportionment of property and casualty insurance, as subsection (f) and inserting a new subsection (e) to read as follows:

1518

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"(e) Whenever the Commissioner determines that a lack of competition or a lack of availability exists in this state in either property or casualty insurance, the Commissioner is authorized to protect the health, property, and welfare of the citizens of this state by exercising the following authority:
(1) The Commissioner shall approve all rates contemplated to be used under this Code section prior to their use;
(2) The Commissioner shall approve any policies or contracts used pursuant to any agreement or plan established under this Code section and such policies or contracts shall be used exclusively in this state for those kinds of insurance. The use by any person of any policies or contracts which are different from those established in accordance with this Code section shall be prohibited; and
(3) The Commissioner may by order implement a plan or program to provide the necessary insurance coverages to the citizens of this state by equitable apportionment among all property and casualty insurers licensed to transact those kinds of insurance in this state."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 33-9-21, relating to the filing of rates, rating plans, rating systems, underwriting rules, and policy and bond forms by insurers, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 33-9-21 to read as follows:
"33-9-21. (a) Every insurer shall maintain with the Commissioner copies of the rates, rating plans, rating systems, underwriting rules, and policy or bond forms used by it. The maintenance of rates, rating plans, rating systems, underwriting rules, and policy or bond forms with the Commissioner by a licensed rating organization of which an insurer is a member or subscriber will be sufficient compliance with this Code section for any insurer maintaining membership or subscriberships in such organization, to the extent that the insurer uses the rates, rating plans, rating systems, underwriting rules, and policy or bond forms of such organization; provided, however, the Commissioner may when he deems it necessary, without compliance with the rule-making procedures of this title or Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act':
(1) Require any domestic, foreign, and alien insurer to file the required rates, rating plans, rating systems, underwriting rules, and policy or bond forms used independent of any filing made on its behalf or as a member of a licensed rating organization, as he shall deem to be necessary to ensure compliance with the standards of this chapter and Code Section 34-9-130 and for the best interests of the citizens of this state; and
(2) Require any domestic, foreign, and alien insurer, writing or authorized to write workers' compensation insurance in this state, to file such insurer's own individual rate filing for premium rates to be charged for workers' compensation insurance coverage written in this state. Such premium rates shall be developed and established based upon each individual insurer's experience in the State of Georgia to the extent actuarially credible. The experience filed shall include the loss ratios, reserves, reserve development information, expenses including commissions paid and dividends paid, investment income, pure premium data adjusted for loss development and loss trending, profits, and all other data and information used by that insurer in formulating its workers' compensation premium rates which are used in this state and any other information or data required by the Commissioner. The Commissioner is authorized to accept such rate classifications as are reasonable and necessary for compliance with this chapter. (b) Any domestic, foreign, or alien insurer that is authorized to write insurance in this state must file with the Commissioner any rate, rating plan, rating system, or underwriting rule at least 45 days prior to any indicated effective date. No rate, rating plan, rating system, or underwriting rule will become effective, nor may any premium be collected by any insurer thereunder, unless the filing has been received by the Commissioner in his office not less than 45 days prior to its effective date. (c) When a rate filing of an insurer required in this Code section results in any overall rate increase of 25 percent or more within any 12 month period, the Commissioner shall order an examination of that insurer to determine the accuracy of the claim

reserves, the applicability of the claim reserve practices for the loss data used in support of such filing, and any other component of the rate filing. In all other rate filings required in this Code section, the Commissioner may order an examination of that insurer as provided in this subsection. Such examination shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2 of this title. Upon notification by the Commissioner of his intent to conduct such examination, the insurer shall be prohibited from placing the rates so filed in effect until such examination has been reviewed and certified by the Commissioner as being complete. Such examination, if conducted by the Commissioner, shall be reviewed and certified within 90 days of the date such rate, rating plan, rating system, or underwriting rule is filed; provided, however, if the Commissioner makes an affirmative finding that the examination may not be completed within the 90 day period, he may extend said time for an additional 60 days."
Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by adding immediately following Code Section 33-9-28, relating to hearings by the Commissioner upon failure of an insurer to correct noncompliance, a new Code Section 33-9-28.1 to read as follows:
"33-9-28.1. The costs incurred by the Commissioner in conducting any hearing under this chapter may be assessed against the parties to the hearing in such proportion as the Commissioner may determine upon consideration of all relevant circumstances including, but not limited to, the nature of the hearing; whether the hearing was instigated by or for the benefit of a particular party or parties; whether there is a successful party on the merits of the proceeding; and the relative levels of participation by the parties. For purposes of this Code section, costs incurred shall include payments made by the Commissioner to obtain the services of independent contractors or outside experts and travel expenses of such contractors or experts. The Commissioner shall make the assessment of costs incurred as part of the final order or decision arising out of the proceeding; provided, however, that any order or decision shall include findings and conclusions of the Commissioner or his designee to support the assessment of costs."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by adding a new Code Section 33-9-41 to read as follows:
"33-9-41. (a) Any legislative changes enacted by the General Assembly in 1987 regarding modifications in Georgia civil law may have a prospective effect upon the loss experience of insurers subject to this title and the Commissioner is authorized to prepare a study evaluating the effects such civil law change may have based on claims data for the previous two years.
(b) The Commissioner is authorized to enter into any agreement with any corporation, association, or other entity, as deemed appropriate, to undertake the process described in subsection (a) of this Code section for the compilation and analysis of the data collected by the department.
(c) The Commissioner shall require and all insurers licensed in this state shall furnish such information or data to the Insurance Department as required to complete this study.
(d) The Commissioner shall furnish the results of the study authorized by this Code section to the General Assembly."
Section 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
