(c) For purposes of this section: (1) The terms 'Tract,' 'Block,' and 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same geo-
graphical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 1990 for the State of Georgia;
(2) The term 'Precinct' is synonymous with the term 'voting precinct' and means a geographical area designated by Article 7 of Chapter 2 or 3 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A., within which all electors vote at one polling place;
(3) Precinct names and designations following VTD designations are included for convenience only; and in the event of any change in the bounds of a precinct or in the event the description of any education district contains a conflict between the geographical boundaries of any VTD and the boundaries of the following named precinct, the geographical boundary of the VTD as shown on the census maps for the United States decennial census of 1990 for the State of Georgia shall control;

(c) Members of the board of education shall be elected for terms of four years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. (d) Unless a vacancy in office occurs because a member of the board moves his or her residence from the district or for any other reason as provided by law, the members of the board of education of Coffee County shall complete the terms of office for which they were elected and serve until their successors are elected and qualified, notwithstanding the changes in education districts based on the 1990 census in this amendatory Act. The terms of members of the board shall be as follows:
(1) Effective January 1, 1993, the members representing Education Districts 1, 2, and 4 shall be the members of the board who formerly represented Education Districts 1, 2, and 4 and who were elected at the general election of 1990 in accordance with NAACP Branch of Coffee County, et aL y^ John Moore, etc., et al, Civil Action No. 577-25 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, or who were elected to fill a vacancy created by any of such members.

Section 3. Pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, it shall be the duty of the attorney of the Coffee County board of education to submit this Act to the United States Attorney General for approval. If, as of July 1, 1992, implementation of this Act is not permissible under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, then as of such date this Act shall be void and stand repealed in its entirety. If implementation of this Act is permissible under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, on or before July 1, 1992, the following shall be void: (1) the certification of political party candidates who qualified for party nomination for the office of member of the board in the general primary; (2) notices of candidacy for the office of member of the board in the general election; and (3) notices of intention of candidacy for the office of member of the board by write-in candidates.

(c) Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 as they existed on January 1, 1992, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively, but as newly described under this section on and after the date this subsection becomes effective in 1992, and members of the board serving from those former commissioner districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this section."
Section 2. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 4 and inserting in its place a new Section 4 to read as follows:
"Section 4. (a) The chairman and members of the board of commissioners in office on January 1, 1992, shall serve out the remainder of the terms to which they were elected, such terms expiring on December 31, 1992. At the general election in 1992 and every four years thereafter, the chairman and members of the board of commissioners shall be elected pursuant to this Act and shall serve for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified and shall take office on January 1 immediately following their election.
(b) All primaries and elections under this Act shall be held in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A., the 'Georgia Election Code.'"
Section 3. Pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, it shall be the duty of the county attorney of Chatham County to submit this Act to the United States Attorney General for approval. If, as of the first date upon which candidates may begin qualifying for the general primary in 1992, implementation of this Act is not permissible under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, then as of such date this Act shall be void and stand repealed in its entirety.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

ues to remain directly liable for its insurance obligations or risks under the contracts of insurance subject to the reinsurance agreement;
(2) The substitution of one insurer for another upon expiration of insurance coverage pursuant to statutory or contractual requirements and the issuance of a new contract of insurance by another insurer;

(3) 'Contract of insurance" means any written agreement between an insurer and policyholder pursuant to which the insurer, in exchange for a premium or other consideration, agrees to assume an obligation or risk of the policyholder or to make payments on behalf of or to the policyholder or its beneficiaries; it shall include all property, casualty, life, health, accident, accident and sickness, surety, title, and annuity business authorized to be written pursuant to the provisions of this title. (4) 'Notice of transfer' means the written notice to policyholders required by subsection (a) of Code section 33-52-3. (5) 'Policyholder' means any individual or entity which has the right to terminate or otherwise alter the terms of a contract of insurance. It includes any person issued a group certificate under a group insurance contract if the certificate vests in such person, separate from the rights of the group contractholder, rights against the insurer that the group contractholder may not terminate.

33-52-4. (a) Every policyholder shall have the right to reject the transfer and novation of his or her contract of insurance. Policyholders electing to reject the assumption transaction shall provide the transferring insurer with the pre-addressed, postage-paid
response card or other written notice that the assumption is rejected no later than 60 days after the date on which the transferring insurer mails the notice required under
subsection (a) of Code Section 33-52-3. If the ceding insurer does not receive written rejection within the 60 day period, it shall send a second notice in accordance with subsection (a) of Code Section 33-52-3. If the ceding insurer does not receive a rejection
within 30 days after the date of mailing, the policyholder shall be deemed to have accepted the transfer.
(b) The transferring insurer will be deemed to have received the response card or
other written notice on the date it is postmarked. A policyholder may also send its response card or other written notice by facsimile or other electronic transmission or by certified mail, express delivery, personal delivery, or courier service, in which case the
response card or other written notice shall be deemed to have been received by the assuming insurer on the date of actual receipt by the transferring insurer.
(c) If the transferring company is deemed by the Commissioner to be in hazardous condition or is under a supervision order, rehabilitation, liquidation, conservation, or receivership and the transfer of policies is in the best interest of the policyholders as
determined by the Commissioner, a transfer may be effected notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter. This may include adequate notification to the policyholder of the circumstances requiring the transfer as approved by the Commissioner.
33-52-5. If a transfer takes place pursuant to Code Section 33-52-4, there shall be a novation of the contract of insurance subject to the assumption reinsurance agreement

However, the Commissioner may permit 100 percent reinsurance without novation of these risks with the servicing of those policyholders to be done by the assuming company or may order the transfer and novation of all of the contracts of insurance under the assumption reinsurance agreement.

If for any reason any of the sums herein provided under any other provision of this Act are insufficient to make the required payments in full, there shall be taken from other funds appropriated to the department, agency or institution involved, an amount sufficient to satisfy such deficiency in full and the lease payment constitutes a first charge on all such appropriations.
Section 76. (a.) All expenditures and appropriations made and authorized under this Act shall be according to the programs and activities as specified in the Governor's recommendations contained in the Budget Report submitted to the General Assembly at the 1992 Regular Session, except as provided, however, the Director of the Budget is authorized to make internal transfers within a budget unit between objects, programs and activities subject to the conditions that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred for use in initiating or commencing any new program or activity not currently having an appropriation of State funds, nor which would require operating funds or capital outlay funds beyond the fiscal year to which this Appropriation Act applies; and provided, further, that no funds whatsoever shall be transferred between object classes without the prior approval of at least eleven members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittees in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This Section shall apply to all funds of each budget unit from whatever source derived. The State Auditor shall make an annual report to the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of all instances revealed in his audit in which the expenditures by object class of any department, bureau, board, commission, institution or other agency of this State are in violation of this Section or in violation of any amendments properly approved by the Director of the Budget.
(b.) (1.) For purposes of this section, the term "common object classes" shall include only Personal Services, Regular Operating Expenses, Travel, Motor Vehicle Equipment Purchases, Postage, Equipment Purchases, Computer Charges, Real Estate Rentals and Telecommunications.
(b.) (2.) For each Budget Unit's common object classes in this Act, the appropriations shall be as follows: Expenditures of no more than 102% of the stated amount for each common object class are authorized. However, the total expenditure for the group may not exceed the sum of the stated amounts for the separate object classes of the group.
(b.) (3.) It is the further intent of the General Assembly that this principle shall be applied as well when common object class amounts are properly amended in the administration of the annual operating budget.
Section 77. Wherever in this Act the terms "Budget Unit Object Classes" or "Combined Object Classes For Section" are used, it shall mean that the object classification following such term shall apply to the total expenditures within the Budget Unit or combination of budget units within a designated section, respectively, and shall supersede the object classification shown in the Governor's Budget Report. For budget units within the Legislative Branch, all transfers shall require prior approval of at least eight members of the Legislative Services Committee in a meeting of such Committee, except that no approval shall be required for transfers within the Senate Functional Budget or the House Functional Budget.
Section 78. There is hereby appropriated a specific sum of Federal grant funds, said specific sum being equal to the total of the Federal grant funds available in excess of the amounts of such funds appropriated in the foregoing sections of this Act, for the purpose of supplanting appropriated State funds, which State funds shall thereupon be unavailable for expenditure unless re- appropriated by the Georgia General Assembly. This provision shall not apply to project grant funds not appropriated in this Act.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Part 4 of Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the "Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970," is amended by striking in its entirety Part 4, relating to coastal marshlands, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"Part 4
12-5-280. This part shall be known and may be cited as the 'Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970.'
12-5-281. The General Assembly finds and declares that the coastal marshlands of Georgia comprise a vital natural resource system. It is recognized that the estuarine area of Georgia is the habitat of many species of marine life and wildlife and, without the food supplied by the marshlands, such marine life and wildlife cannot survive. The General Assembly further finds that intensive marine research has revealed that the estuarine marshlands of coastal Georgia are among the richest providers of nutrients in the world. Such marshlands provide a nursery for commercially and recreationally important species of shellfish and other wildlife, provide a great buffer against flooding and erosion, and help control and disseminate pollutants. Also, it is found that the coastal marshlands provide a natural recreation resource which has become vitally linked to the economy of Georgia's coastal zone and to that of the entire state. The General Assembly further finds that this coastal marshlands resource system is costly, if not impossible, to reconstruct or rehabilitate once adversely affected by man related activities and is important to conserve for the present and future use and enjoyment of all citizens and visitors to this state. The General Assembly further finds that the coastal marshlands are a vital area of the state and are essential to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of all the citizens of the state. Therefore, the General Assembly declares that the management of the coastal marshlands has more than local significance, is of equal importance to all citizens of the state, is of state-wide concern, and consequently

3300

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

is properly a matter for regulation under the police power of the state. The General Assembly further finds and declares that activities and structures in the coastal marshlands must be regulated to ensure that the values and functions of the coastal marshlands are not impaired and to fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as public trustees of the coastal marshlands for succeeding generations.

The General Assembly finds and declares that the State of Georgia became the owner of the beds of all tidewaters within the jurisdiction of the State of Georgia as successor to the Crown of England and by the common law. The State of Georgia continues to hold title to the beds of all tidewaters within the state, except where title in a private party can be traced to a valid Crown or state grant which explicitly conveyed the beds of such tidewaters. The General Assembly further finds that the State of Georgia, as sovereign, is trustee of the rights of the people of the state to use and enjoy all tidewaters which are capable of use for fishing, passage, navigation, commerce, and transportation, pursuant to the common law public trust doctrine. Therefore, the General Assembly declares that the protection of tidewaters for use by the state and its

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

citizens has more than local significance, is of equal importance to all citizens of the state, is of state-wide concern, and, consequently, is properly a matter for regulation under the police powers of the state. The General Assembly further finds and declares that structures located upon tidewaters which are used as places of habitation, dwelling, sojournment, or residence interfere with the state's proprietary interest or the public trust, or both, and must be removed to ensure the rights of the state and the people of the State of Georgia to the use and enjoyment of such tidewaters. It is declared to be a policy of this state and the intent of this article to protect the tidewaters of the state by authorizing the commissioner of natural resources to remove or require removal of certain structures from such tidewaters in accordance with the procedures and within the timetable set forth in this article.
52-1-3. As used in this article, the term:
(1) 'Board' means the Board of Natural Resources. (2) 'Commissioner' means the commissioner of natural resources.
(3) 'Structure' means any structure located upon any tidewaters of this state, whether such structure is floating upon such tidewaters and is made fast by the use of lines, cables, anchors, or pilings, or any combination thereof, or is built upon pilings embedded in the beds of such tidewaters when such structure is being or has been
used or is capable of being used as a place of habitation, dwelling, sojournment, or residence for any length of time; is not being used or is not capable of being used as a means of transportation upon such tidewaters; and is not owned, occupied, or pos-
sessed pursuant to a permit issued by the commissioner pursuant to Code Section 52-1-10. Such structures may include, but are not limited to, vessels not being used in navigation; provided, however, that structures do not include vessels which are
capable of navigation and are tied up at marinas. Structures shall also not include fishing camps, bait shops, restaurants, or other commercial establishments which do
not discharge sewage into the waters of the state and are operated in conformance with the zoning ordinances, if any, of the municipality or county in which they are
located. (4) 'Tidewaters' means the sea and all rivers and arms of the sea that are affected
by the tide, where the tide rises and falls, which are capable of use for fishing, pas-
sage, navigation, commerce, or transportation, and which are located within the juris-
diction of the State of Georgia. 52-1-4. The existence of a structure as defined in this article is declared to be a public nuisance and unlawful.
52-1-5. Whenever the commissioner determines that any structure as defined in this article exists, the commissioner may issue an order directed 'TO ALL PERSONS IN
POSSESSION OR CLAIMING OWNERSHIP OF THIS STRUCTURE.' The order shall describe the structure in reasonable detail, shall set forth the unlawful nature of the structure, and shall order that the structure be removed within a reasonable time
after the order becomes final to be prescribed in such order. Any order issued by the commissioner under this article shall be signed by the commissioner. Any such order
shall become final unless any person in possession of the structure or any person claiming ownership of or an interest in the structure requests in writing a hearing pursuant to Code Section 52-1-6. The order shall apprise the person or persons of their right to request a hearing and of the procedures necessary to obtain a hearing pursuant to Code
Section 52-1-6. The order, in all cases, shall be served by initially publishing the same once each week for two successive weeks in a newspaper printed and published in the county in which the structure is located or in a newspaper of general circulation in the
county in which the structure is located. The order shall then be served by a peace officer upon any person of suitable age and discretion found in possession of the structure or, if no such person is found in possession of the structure, the peace officer shall
securely post the order in a conspicuous place on the structure. Any order so posted must be protected from the weather by encasing same in a weatherproof, transparent
material. The date of service shall be stated within the order. The return of the service signed by the peace officer and filed in the office of the commissioner, stating that a
copy of such order was served either upon a person of suitable age and discretion in possession of the structure personally or that no such person was found in possession of the

3325

structure and that a copy of the order was posted in a conspicuous place on the structure in accordance with this Code section, shall be sufficient evidence as to the service of such person in possession; provided, however, that where the address of the person or persons claiming ownership of the structure is known, a copy of such order shall be mailed to such persons by certified mail as part of the service process during the period of time that the order is being published in the newspaper.
52-1-6. Any person in possession of the structure or any person claiming ownership of or an interest in the structure which is the subject of an order issued pursuant to Code Section 52-1-5 or Code Section 52-1-10 shall, upon petition in writing within 30 days after service of such order, have a right to a hearing before an administrative law judge appointed by the board. Such petition must be filed with the administrative law judge and must be received by the administrative law judge within such 30 day period. The hearing before the administrative law judge shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act,' and the rules and regulations adopted by the board pursuant thereto. Unless waived by the commissioner, any person seeking a hearing has the burden of going forward with evidence regarding possession or ownership of or an interest in the structure, and the administrative law judge shall take evidence and hear arguments on this issue and thereafter make a ruling on this issue before continuing with the hearing. Any decision of the administrative law judge shall constitute the final decision of the board, and any party to the hearing, including the commissioner, shall have the right of judicial review thereof in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50. The hearing and review procedure provided for the petitioner in this Code section is to the exclusion of all other means of hearing or review.
52-1-7. Whenever any order issued by the commissioner pursuant to Code Section 52-1-5 becomes final or whenever any order adverse to the owner or possessor of a structure issued by the administrative law judge pursuant to Code Section 52-1-6 becomes final by being unappealed or affirmed upon appeal, the structure shall be deemed contraband. Upon the structure becoming contraband, the commissioner or his duly authorized agents shall seize and remove said structure and may sell or dispose of such structure in such manner as the commissioner may direct; provided, however, that prior to such seizure the commissioner shall securely post a notice in a conspicuous place on the structure and, if the address of any person or persons claiming ownership of or any person or persons in possession of the structure is known, the commissioner shall mail a copy of such notice to such person or persons by certified mail informing such person or persons claiming ownership of or in possession of the structure that such structure is considered contraband as a matter of law and that unless the structure is removed within 30 days of the date of the notice, the commissioner, through his duly appointed agents, shall seize and remove said structure and may sell or dispose of such structure in such manner as the commissioner may direct. Any such notice so posted must be protected from the weather by encasing same in a weatherproof, transparent material. In the event the commissioner sells the structure or the materials of such structure, he may credit and retain the proceeds of such sale against the cost of the removal and disposal of the structure and any remaining balance shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the general fund.
52-1-8. Except as otherwise provided for in this article, any remedy provided for in this article shall be in addition to any other remedy available to the state, any littoral proprietor within this state, or any other citizen of this state.
52-1-9. In the event the commissioner determines that the seizure and removal of a structure shall result in the removal of a person or persons from a permanent residence, the commissioner may, at the end of the 30 day period set forth in Code Section 52-1-7, allow a reasonable period of time for the structure inhabitants to find a new residence prior to the removal of the structure.
52-1-10. (a) The commissioner may, after July 1, 1992, issue a permit for a maximum term of five years for the location, usage, and possession of a structure which existed on February 1, 1992, upon tidewaters of the state; provided, however, that no permit shall be issued for any structure which does not conform to and meet the requirements of rules and regulations promulgated by the board establishing minimum

3326

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

standards of sanitation, safety, and construction. No permit shall be issued for a term ending after June 30, 1997.
(b) No permit issued by the commissioner pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section shall be renewable and a permit may be revoked by the commissioner at any time during its term for failure to continue to meet the requirements of the board's rules.
ARTICLE 2
52-1-30. This article shall be known and may be cited as the 'Right of Passage Act.' 52-1-31. The General Assembly finds and declares that by the common law the citizens of this state have an inherent right to use as highways all navigable streams and rivers which are capable of transporting boats loaded with freight in the regular course of trade either for the whole or part of the year and that this right of use extends to the entire surface of the stream or river from bank to bank. The General Assembly further finds that the common law regarding such right of use has not been modified by statute nor is it incompatible with the federal or state Constitutions. Therefore, the General Assembly declares that ensuring the right of use by all the citizens of this state of navigable streams and rivers which are capable of transporting boats loaded with freight in the regular course of trade either for the whole or part of the year as highways has more than local significance, is of equal importance to all citizens of the state, is of state-wide concern, and, consequently, is properly a matter for regulation under the police powers of the state. The General Assembly further finds and declares that structures located upon navigable streams and rivers which are used as places of habitation, dwelling, sojournment, or residence interfere with the citizens' right to use the entire surface of such streams and rivers which are capable of transporting boats loaded with freight in the regular course of trade either for the whole or part of the year from bank to bank as highways and must be removed to ensure the rights of the citizens of this state to such usage. It is declared to be a policy of this state and the intent of this article to ensure such rights of the citizens of this state by authorizing the commissioner of natural resources to remove or require removal of certain structures from such streams and rivers which are capable of transporting boats loaded with freight in the regular course of trade either for the whole or part of the year in accordance with the procedures and within the timetable set forth in this article. 52-1-32.

(3) 'Navigable stream or river' means a stream or river which is capable of transporting boats loaded with freight in the regular course of trade either for the whole or a part of the year. (4) 'Structure' means any structure located upon any navigable stream or river of this state, whether such structure is floating upon such navigable stream or river and is made fast by the use of lines, cables, anchors, or pilings, or any combination thereof, or is built upon pilings embedded in the beds of such navigable stream or river when such structure is being, has been, or is capable of being used as a place of habitation, dwelling, sojournment, or residence for any length of time; is not being used or is not capable of being used as a means of transportation upon such navigable stream or river; and is not owned, occupied, or possessed pursuant to a permit issued by the commissioner pursuant to Code Section 52-1-39. Such structures may include, but are not limited to, vessels not being used in navigation; provided, however, that structures do not include vessels which are capable of navigation and are tied up at marinas. Structures shall also not include fishing camps, bait shops, restaurants, or other commercial establishments which do not discharge sewage into the waters of the state and are operated in conformance with the zoning ordinances, if any, of the municipality or county in which they are located. 52-1-33.

The order shall describe the structure in reasonable detail, shall set forth the unlawful nature of the structure, and shall order that the structure be removed within a reasonable time after the order becomes final to be prescribed in such order. Any order issued by the commissioner under this article shall be signed by the commissioner.

The order shall apprise the person or persons of their right to request a hearing and of the procedures necessary to obtain a hearing pursuant to Code Section 52-1-35. The order, in all cases, shall be served by initially publishing the same once each week for two successive weeks in a newspaper printed and published in the county in which the structure is located or in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the structure is located. The order shall then be served by a peace officer upon any person of suitable age and discretion found in possession of the structure or if no person is found in possession of the structure, the peace officer shall securely post the order in a conspicuous place on the structure. Any order so posted must be protected from the weather by encasing same in a weatherproof, transparent material. The date of service shall be stated within the order.

Unless waived by the commissioner, any person seeking a hearing has the burden of going forward with evidence regarding possession or ownership of or an interest in the structure, and the administrative law judge shall take evidence and hear arguments on this issue and thereafter make a ruling on this issue before continuing with the hearing. Any decision of the administrative law judge shall constitute the final decision of the board, and any party to the hearing, including the commissioner, shall have the right of judicial review thereof in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50. The hearing and review procedure provided for the petitioner in this Code section is to the exclusion of all other means of hearing or review.
52-1-36. Whenever any order issued by the commissioner pursuant to Code Section 52-1-34 becomes final or whenever any order adverse to the owner or possessor of a structure issued by the administrative law judge pursuant to Code Section 52-1-35 becomes final by being unappealed or affirmed upon appeal, the structure shall be deemed contraband.

52-1-38. In the event the commissioner determines that the seizure and removal of a structure shall result in the removal of a person or persons from a permanent residence, the commissioner may, at the end of the 30 day period set forth in Code Section 52-1-36, allow a reasonable period of time for the structure inhabitants to find a new residence prior to the removal of the structure.

(b) A member of the Senate must be a resident of the district which such member represents and at the time of such member's election must have been a resident of the territory embraced within such district for at least one year preceding such time. Each Senator shall be elected only by the voters of such Senator's senatorial district.
(c) The first members of the Senate elected pursuant to this Code section shall be those who are elected to take office on the convening date of the regular session of the General Assembly in 1993. Until that time the membership of the Senate elected under prior law shall continue to serve and shall represent the districts from which elected; and until that time the composition of the districts from which such members were elected shall remain the same. The provisions of this Code section shall be effective, however, for the primary and general elections of 1992 for the purpose of electing members of the Senate in 1992 who are to take office in 1993. Successors to those members shall likewise be elected under the provisions of this Code section.
(d) For the purposes of this Code section: (1) The terms 'Tract,' 'Block,' and 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same geo-
graphical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 1990 for the State of Georgia.
(2) The term 'Precinct' is synonymous with the term 'voting precinct' and means a geographical area designated by Article 7 of Chapter 2 of Title 21, within which all electors vote at one polling place.
(3) Whenever the description of any senatorial district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census maps for the United States decennial census of 1990 for the State of Georgia.
(4) Precinct names and designations following VTD designations are included for convenience only; and in the event the description of any senatorial district contains a conflict between the geographical boundaries of any VTD and the boundaries of the following named precinct, the geographical boundary of the VTD as shown on the census maps for the United States decennial census of 1990 for the State of Georgia shall control. (e) Any part of the State of Georgia which is not included in any Senate district described in this Code section shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 1990 for the State of Georgia. (f) Any part of the State of Georgia which is described in this Code section as being included in a particular Senate district shall nevertheless not be included within such Senate district if such part is not contiguous to such Senate district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that Senate district contiguous to such part which

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.

The following amendatory document (AM 18 0181) was read:

"3-3-20. (a) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Code section or except as specifically authorized by law, no person knowingly and intentionally shall sell or offer to sell alcoholic beverages on Sunday.
(b) (1) As used in this subsection, the term 'day' means that period of time beginning with the opening of the polls and ending with the closing of the polls.
(2) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, no person knowingly and intentionally shall sell or offer to sell alcoholic beverages on any election day. The prohibition of this subsection shall apply only within the territorial boundaries for which the election is held but such territorial boundaries shall not include any property owned or operated by a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state for airport purposes if no person resides on such publicly owned or operated property.
(B) The local governing authority of any county in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized and the local governing authority of any municipality in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized may, by ordinance, resolution, or referendum, authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages on any election days. (3) (A) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person to sell alcoholic beverages within 250 feet of any polling place or of the outer edge of any building within which such polling place is established on primary or election days.
(B) Any person violating the provisions of this paragraph shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (c) The governing authority of any county or municipality may, by ordinance or resolution, prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages on Christmas Day. (d) (1) In all municipalities within any county having a population of 400,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1990 or any future such census in which the sale of alcoholic beverages is lawful, alcoholic beverages may be sold on Sundays between the hours of 12:30 P.M. and 12:00 Midnight at festivals.

The definition of 'festival,' as used in this paragraph, does not include events which are solely parades, foot races, or political demonstrations unless such parade, foot race, or political demonstration is proposed as an integral part of a larger 'festival,' as defined in this paragraph. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, all persons and entities selling alcoholic beverages pursuant to this subsection shall fully comply with all other applicable state and local license and permit requirements."

(2) Such comprehensive evaluations shall be conducted by certificated professional employees from other local units of administration, faculty members of colleges and universities, and citizens residing within the respective local units. The number and role of such individuals shall be prescribed by the state board; provided, however, that such individuals shall be coordinated by professional evaluators. The state board shall be authorized to require additional evaluations by the Department of Education.

of Education shall be exempt from the comprehensive evaluation required by paragraph (1) of this subsection.

Under the general order of business, established by the Committee on Rules, the following Bills of the Senate were taken up for consideration and read the third time:

SB 415. By Senators Johnson of the 47th, Deal of the 49th, Baldwin of the 29th and others:
A bill to amend Article 1 of Chapter 9 of Title 45 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to purchase of liability insurance or contracts of indemnity for public officers and employees generally, so as to repeal the provisions that nothing in such article shall constitute a waiver of the immunity of the state from any action nor shall the exercise of authority provided in such article constitute the provision of liability insurance protection.

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Chapter 21 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the waiver of sovereign immunity as to actions ex contractu, so as to provide for editorial revision and redesignation of such provisions; to provide a short title; to provide for the expression of legislative intent and purpose; to provide definitions; to provide a limited waiver of sovereign immunity; to provide exceptions and limitations; to provide a remedy for torts committed by state officers and employees; to provide immunity for state officers and employees; to provide for litigation; to provide for parties in litigation; to provide for ante litem notice of claim; to provide procedures and time limits for processing such ante litem notice and claims; to provide a statute of limitations; to provide for venue; to provide for the mode of trials; to provide limitations on the amounts and types of damages and interest recoverable; to provide for pleadings; to provide for signing pleadings; to provide for sanctions; to provide for a program of liability insurance or self-insurance; to provide for creation of a State Tort Claims Trust Fund; to provide for the possible merger of preexisting funds; to provide a limitation on fiscal year aggregate liability; to preclude execution or levy against state funds or property; to provide for settlement of claims; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 21 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the waiver of sovereign immunity as to actions ex contractu, is amended by designating the material contained in the existing chapter as Article 1 and by inserting at the end thereof a new Article 2 to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 2
50-21-20. This article shall be known and may be cited as 'The Georgia Tort Claims Act.'
50-21-21. (a) The General Assembly recognizes the inherently unfair and inequitable results which occur in the strict application of the traditional doctrine of sovereign

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1992

3611

immunity. On the other hand, the General Assembly recognizes that, while private entrepreneurs voluntarily choose the ambit of their activity and can thereby exert some control over their exposure to liability, state government does not have the same flexibility. In acting for the public good and in responding to public need, state government must provide a broad range of services and perform a broad range of functions throughout the entire state, regardless of how much exposure to liability may be involved. The exposure of the state treasury to tort liability must therefore be limited. State government should not have the duty to do everything that might be done. Consequently, it is declared to be the public policy of this state that the state shall only be liable in tort actions within the limitations of this article and in accordance with the fair and uniform principles established in this article.
(b) The General Assembly also recognizes that the proper functioning of state government requires that state officers and employees be free to act and to make decisions, in good faith, without fear of thereby exposing themselves to lawsuits and without fear
of the loss of their personal assets. Consequently, it is declared to be the public policy of this state that state officers and employees shall not be subject to lawsuit or liability
arising from the performance or nonperformance of their official duties or functions. (c) All of the provisions of this article should be construed with a view to carry out
this expression of the intent of the General Assembly. 50-21-22. As used in this article, the term:
(1) 'Claim' means any demand against the State of Georgia for money only on account of loss caused by the tort of any state officer or employee committed while
acting within the scope of his or her official duties or employment. (2) 'Discretionary function or duty' means a function or duty requiring a state offi-
cer or employee to exercise his or her policy judgment in choosing among alternate
courses of action based upon a consideration of social, political, or economic factors. (3) 'Loss' means personal injury; disease; death; damage to tangible property,
including lost wages and economic loss to the person who suffered the injury, disease,
or death; pain and suffering; mental anguish; and any other element of actual damages recoverable in actions for negligence.
(4) 'Person' means a natural person, corporation, firm, partnership, association, or other such entity.
(5) 'State' means the State of Georgia and any of its offices, agencies, authorities, departments, commissions, boards, divisions, instrumentalities, and institutions, but does not include counties, municipalities, school districts, other units of local government, hospital authorities, or housing and other local authorities.
(6) 'State government entity' means a state office, agency, authority, department, commission, board, division, instrumentality, or institution.
(7) 'State officer or employee' means any officer, employee, or agent of the state, including elected or appointed officials, law enforcement officers, and persons acting on behalf or in service of the state in any official capacity, whether with or without
compensation, but the term does not include an independent contractor doing business with the state.
50-21-23. (a) The state waives its sovereign immunity for the torts of state officers and employees while acting within the scope of their official duties or employment and shall be liable for such torts in the same manner as a private individual or entity would
be liable under like circumstances; provided, however, that the state's sovereign immunity is waived subject to all exceptions and limitations set forth in this article. The state shall have no liability for losses resulting from conduct on the part of state officers or
employees which was not within the scope of their official duties or employment. (b) The state waives its sovereign immunity only to the extent and in the manner
provided in this article and only with respect to actions brought in the courts of the State of Georgia. The state does not waive any immunity with respect to actions brought in the courts of the United States.
50-21-24. The state shall have no liability for losses resulting from: (1) An act or omission by a state officer or employee exercising due care in the
execution of a statute, regulation, rule, or ordinance, whether or not such statute, regulation, rule, or ordinance is valid;

3612

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(2) The exercise or performance of or the failure to exercise or perform a discretionary function or duty on the part of a state officer or employee, whether or not the discretion involved is abused;
(3) The assessment or collection of any tax or the detention of any goods or merchandise by any law enforcement officer;
(4) Legislative, judicial, quasi-judicial, or prosecutorial action or inaction; (5) Administrative action or inaction of a legislative, quasi-legislative, judicial, or quasi-judicial nature; (6) Civil disturbance, riot, insurrection, or rebellion or the failure to provide, or the method of providing, law enforcement, police, or fire protection; (7) Assault, battery, false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, libel, slander, or interference with contractual rights; (8) Inspection powers or functions, including failure to make an inspection or making an inadequate or negligent inspection of any property other than property owned by the state to determine whether the property complies with or violates any law, regulation, code, or ordinance or contains a hazard to health or safety; (9) Licensing powers or functions, including, but not limited to, the issuance, denial, suspension, or revocation of or the failure or refusal to issue, deny, suspend, or revoke any permit, license, certificate, approval, order, or similar authorization; (10) The plan or design for construction of or improvement to highways, roads, streets, bridges, or other public works where such plan or design is prepared in sub-
stantial compliance with generally accepted engineering or design standards in effect at the time of preparation of the plan or design;
(11) Financing regulatory activities, including, but not limited to, examinations,
inspections, audits, or other financial oversight activities; or (12) Activities of the Georgia National Guard when engaged in state or federal
training or duty, but this exception does not apply to vehicular accidents. 50-21-25. (a) This article constitutes the exclusive remedy for any tort committed by a state officer or employee. A state officer or employee who commits a tort while act-
ing within the scope of his or her official duties or employment is not subject to lawsuit or liability therefor. However, nothing in this article shall be construed to give a state
officer or employee immunity from suit and liability if it is proved that the officer's or employee's conduct was not within the scope of his or her official duties or employment.
(b) A person bringing an action against the state under the provisions of this article
must name as a party defendant only the state government entity for which the state officer or employee was acting and shall not name the state officer or employee individually. In the event that the state officer or employee is individually named for an act or
omission for which the state is liable under this article, the state government entity for which the state officer or employee was acting must be substituted as the party defendant.
(c) A settlement or judgment in an action or a settlement of a claim under this article constitutes a complete bar to any further action by the claimant against a state offi-
cer or employee or the state by reason of the same occurrence. 50-21-26. (a) No person, firm, or corporation having a tort claim against the state
under this article shall bring any action against the state upon such claim without first
giving notice of the claim as follows: (1) Notice of a claim shall be given in writing within 12 months of the date the
loss was discovered or should have been discovered; provided, however, for tort claims
and causes of action which accrued between January 1, 1991, and the effective date of this article, notice of claim shall be given in writing within 12 months after the
effective date of this article; (2) Notice of a claim shall be given in writing and shall be mailed by certified
mail, return receipt requested, or delivered personally to and a receipt obtained from the Risk Management Division of the Department of Administrative Services. In addition, a copy shall be delivered personally to or mailed by first-class mail to the state
government entity, the act or omissions of which are asserted as the basis of the claim. Each state government entity may designate an office or officer within that state gov-
ernment entity to whom a notice of claim is to be delivered or mailed;

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1992

3613

(3) No action against the state under this article shall be commenced and the courts shall have no jurisdiction thereof unless and until a written notice of claim has been timely presented to the state as provided in this subsection;
(4) Any complaint filed pursuant to this article must have a copy of the notice of claim presented to the Department of Administrative Services together with the certified mail receipt or receipt for other delivery attached as exhibits. If failure to attach such exhibits to the complaint is not cured within 30 days after the state raises such issue by motion, then the complaint shall be dismissed without prejudice; and
(5) A notice of claim under this Code section shall state, to the extent of the claimant's knowledge and belief and as may be practicable under the circumstances, the following:
(A) The name of the state government entity, the acts or omissions of which are asserted as the basis of the claim;
(B) The time of the transaction or occurrence out of which the loss arose; (C) The place of the transaction or occurrence;
(D) The nature of the loss suffered; (E) The amount of the loss claimed; and
(F) The acts or omissions which caused the loss. (b) No action may be commenced under this article following presentation of a notice of claim until either the Department of Administrative Services has denied the claim or more than 90 days have elapsed after the presentation of the notice of claim without action by the Department of Administrative Services, whichever occurs first. 50-21-27. (a) It is the specific intent of the General Assembly that this article shall
operate retroactively so as to apply to tort claims or causes of action which accrued on or after January 1, 1991. A tort claim or cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued on the date the loss was or should have been discovered. This article shall not apply
to tort claims or causes of action which accrued prior to January 1, 1991. (b) For tort claims and causes of action which accrued between January 1, 1991, and
the effective date of this article, any tort action brought pursuant to this article is forever barred unless it is commenced within two years after the effective date of this article.
(c) For tort claims and causes of action which accrue on or after the effective date of this article, any tort action brought pursuant to this article is forever barred unless it is commenced within two years after the date the loss was or should have been discovered.
(d) Statutes of ultimate repose and abrogation, as provided for elsewhere in this Code, shall apply to claims and actions brought pursuant to this article.
(e) All provisions relating to the tolling of limitations of actions, as provided elsewhere in this Code, shall apply to causes of action brought pursuant to this article.
50-21-28. All tort actions against the state under this article shall be brought in the state or superior court of the county wherein the loss occurred; provided, however, that, in any case in which an officer or employee of the state may be included as a defendant
in his individual capacity, the action may be brought in the county of residence of such officer or employee.
50-21-29. (a) Trial of tort actions against the state under this article shall be con-
ducted by a judge with a jury; provided, however, the parties may agree that the same be tried by a judge without a jury.
(b) In any action or claim for damages brought under the provisions of this article, no person shall recover a sum exceeding $1 million because of loss arising from a single occurrence, regardless of the number of state government entities involved; and the state's aggregate liability per occurrence shall not exceed $3 million. The existence of
these caps on liability shall not be disclosed or suggested to the jury during the trial of any action brought under this article.
50-21-30. No award for damages under this article shall include punitive or exem-
plary damages or interest prior to judgment. 50-21-31. In all cases where judgment is obtained under this article, the judgment
shall bear interest from the date judgment is entered at the rate of 7 percent per annum.

3614

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

50-21-32. In any claim, action, or proceeding brought under this article, the signature of an attorney or party constitutes a certificate by him or her that he or she has read the pleading, motion, or other paper; that to the best of his or her knowledge, information, and belief formed after reasonable inquiry it is well grounded in fact and is warranted by existing law or a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law; and that it is not interposed for any improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation. If a pleading, motion, or other paper is not signed, it shall be stricken unless it is signed promptly after the omission is called to the attention of the pleader or movant. If a pleading, motion, or other paper is signed in violation of this Code section, the court, upon motion or upon its own initiative, shall impose upon the person who signed it, a represented party, or both an appropriate sanction, which may include an order to pay to the other party or parties the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred because of the filing of the pleading, motion, or other paper, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
50-21-33. (a) The Department of Administrative Services shall formulate and initiate a sound program providing for liability insurance, self-insurance, or a combination of both to provide for payment of judgments and claims against the state under this article.
(b) The commissioner of administrative services shall have the authority to purchase policies of liability insurance or contracts of indemnity insuring or indemnifying the state against liabilities arising under this article. In addition or alternatively, the commissioner of administrative services may retain all moneys paid to the Department of Administrative Services by state government entities as premiums for insurance or indemnity against liabilities arising under this article, and all money specifically appropriated to the Department of Administrative Services for the payment of liabilities under this article, all moneys received as interest, and all funds received from other sources to set up and maintain a reserve fund for the payment of judgments and claims against the state under this article and for payment of the expenses necessary to properly administer a self-insurance program. The commissioner of administrative services shall invest any such moneys in the same manner as other moneys in his or her possession. State agencies which provide services or incur expenses in connection with any claim covered by this article may receive payment from the fund for such services and expenses.
(c) Any reserve fund created under this Code section shall be designated the State Tort Claims Trust Fund.
(d) The Department of Administrative Services shall establish and charge to state government entities such premiums and other payments, taking into account any direct appropriations as shall be necessary to maintain the soundness of the insurance or selfinsurance programs established under this Code section. The premiums charged to each state government entity may be established on such basis as the Department of Administrative Services shall deem appropriate and such basis may include the number of employees, the aggregate annual budget of the state government entity, and unique exposures, loss history, or claims pending against such state government entity.
(e) Each state government entity shall promptly remit from appropriations or other funds available to it the premium thus established.
(f) Where existing programs have previously been established by the Department of Administrative Services for the insurance or self-insurance of the state, state government entities, or state officers or employees, the commissioner of administrative services shall be authorized to merge all or part of those programs, including all or part of any self-insurance funds established thereunder, into the State Tort Claims Trust Fund. This shall include, but not be limited to, any funds established by Code Sections 45-9-4 and 50-5-16. In so doing, the Department of Administrative Services shall be authorized, through the State Tort Claims Trust Fund, to assume or not assume all or part of existing and potential liabilities of the prior established programs and funds.
(g) As to state government entities for which additional particular coverages are necessary, the Department of Administrative Services may provide such additional particular coverages and other terms and conditions of unique exposure particular to one or

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1992

3615

more state government entities; may provide for endorsements for contract liability; and, where necessary to the public purposes of the state government entity, may also provide for additional insureds.
(h) Nothing in this Code section or in this article shall impose or create any obligation upon other funds of the state.
(i) Funds appropriated to the Department of Administrative Services for the State Tort Claims Trust Fund shall be deemed contractually obligated funds held in trust, subject to future legislative change or revision, for the benefit of persons having claims, known or unknown, or judgments payable from the funds and shall not lapse.
50-21-34. (a) No claim or judgment against the state under this article shall be payable except from the State Tort Claims Trust Fund or from any policies of insurance or contracts of indemnity provided under this article.
(b) Nothing in this article shall be construed to authorize any execution or levy against any state property or funds. Execution or levy against state property or funds is expressly prohibited.
(c) Judgments against the state under this article shall be promptly paid by the commissioner of administrative services within 60 days after the same become final if funds are available from the State Tort Claims Trust Fund or from other policies of insurance or contracts of indemnity established under this article.
(d) The fiscal year aggregate liability of the state under this article shall never exceed the amount of funds available from the State Tort Claims Trust Fund and any other policies of insurance or contracts of indemnity established under this article. For purposes of this Code section, the term 'funds available from the State Tort Claims Trust Fund' means the cash balance in the fund less the department's operating expense allocation to the fund for the year. Any judgments obtained in excess of this limitation on annual aggregate liability will not be void. However, such excess judgments shall not be payable unless and until the General Assembly appropriates funds for the payment thereof.
50-21-35. In all civil actions brought against the state under this article, to perfect service of process the plaintiff must both: (1) cause process to be served upon the chief executive officer of the state government entity involved at his or her usual office address; and (2) cause process to be served upon the director of the Risk Management Division of the Department of Administrative Services at his or her usual office address. The time for the state to file an answer shall not begin to run until process has been served upon all required persons. A copy of the complaint, showing the date of filing, shall also be mailed to the Attorney General at his or her usual office address, by certified mail, return receipt requested and there shall be attached to the complaint a certificate that this requirement has been met.
50-21-36. The commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services, or his or her delegate, shall have the authority, within the limits provided in this article, to make settlement of claims, causes of action, and actions under this article."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1992.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

"ARTICLE 2
37-2-30. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that the quality of services provided to citizens with mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse is vitally important to the citizens of Georgia. Mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse knows no social or economic barriers. Over 145,000 people are served in the publicly funded services system. The current public service system is composed of state operated hospitals, county board of health operated community programs contracted

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

with the Department of Human Resources, and community programs operated by private, nonprofit agencies which contract with the Department of Human Resources. This system of service delivery has demonstrated shortcomings and lack of continuity of care over a 20 year history reflective of a nation-wide problem. It has become evident that this system offers inconsistent, inequitable response to the needs of citizens of Georgia.
(b) Expanded community planning, improved continuity of care, a balance between public and private community based organizations, and a single point of accountability could lead to a more effective system. Numerous studies have pointed to the need for improved service delivery. The creation of a state commission would ensure that these recommendations and needed improvements could be realized as quickly as possible.
37-2-31. There is created a State Commission on Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Service Delivery which shall be responsible for developing a comprehensive plan for an improved service delivery system for the treatment and habilitation of people with mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse problems. This plan should include the design and implementation plan strategies for a state-wide publicly funded service system.
37-2-32. (a) The State Commission on Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Service Delivery shall consist of 18 members as follows:
(1) Three members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives;
(2) Three members of the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate; (3) The chairman of the Board of Human Resources, or his or her designee; (4) Seven members to be appointed by the Governor who shall be representative of the following:
(A) District health directors; (B) Consumers or representatives of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse programs; (C) Private service providers; (D) County commissioners; and (E) Superintendents of regional hospitals. (5) The chairman of the Governor's Advisory Council on Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse, or his or her designee; and (6) Three nonvoting ex officio members shall be the director of the Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse, the director of the Division of Public Health of the Department of Human Resources, and the commissioner of the Department of Medical Assistance. (b) The Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the President of the Senate shall appoint individuals who are specially qualified to serve on the commission by reason of their interest in and knowledge of services to citizens with mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse problems. (c) The Governor shall designate one of his appointees to serve as the chairperson of the commission. The chairman of the Board of Human Resources shall serve as vice chairman of the commission. The commission may elect other officers as deemed necessary. 37-2-33. (a) The commission may hold meetings and hearings state wide to develop a comprehensive plan for an improved state-wide public service delivery system for people with mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse problems.
(b) A quorum for transacting business shall be a majority of the members of the commission.
(c) The members of the commission may be reimbursed for expenses incurred while conducting the business of the commission from federal or private grants, devises, or bequests received by the commission.
37-2-34. (a) The commission shall have the following duties:
(1) To study and evaluate the needs, priorities, programs, and continuity of care for individuals with mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse problems;
(2) To evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the current service delivery system;

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1992

3621

(3) To develop a plan for an improved service delivery system; (4) To initiate the development of enabling legislation; and (5) To monitor the implementation of the developed plan. (b) The commission shall have the following powers: (1) To write and disseminate reports and recommendations concerning services to people with mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse problems; (2) To accept public or private grants, devises, and bequests; (3) To enter into all contracts or agreements necessary or incidental to the performance of its duties; and (4) To hold meetings and public hearings and to conduct studies, collect data, or take any other action the commission deems necessary to fulfill its responsibilities. (c) The commission shall complete its plan and make a report of its findings and recommendations including proposed legislation, if any, to the Governor and to the Board of Human Resources on or before December 1, 1992. The commission shall work with the Governor and the Board of Human Resources to monitor the implementation of policies and programs it recommended. The commission shall stand abolished on December 31, 1993."
Section 2. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.
Section 3. This Act shall stand repealed on December 31, 1993.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

requires participation in an extracurricular activity for which enrollment is on a competitive basis; a course in which the student serves as a student assistant to a teacher, in a school officej or in the media center, except when such placement is an approved work site of a recognized career or vocational program; an individual study course for which no outline of course objectives is prepared in writing prior to the beginning of the course; or any other course or activity so designated by the state board. For the purpose of this Code section, the term 'enrichment course' means a course which does not dedicate a major portion of the class time toward the development and enhancement of one or more student competencies as adopted by the state board under Code Section 20-2-140. A program shall not be indicated for a student for any one-sixth segment of the school day for which the student is not enrolled in an instructional program or has not attended a class or classes within the preceding ten days; nor shall a program be indicated for a student for any one-sixth segment of the school day for which the stu-
dent is charged tuition or fees or is required to provide materials or equipment beyond those authorized pursuant to Code Section 20-2-133. A student who is enrolled in a
regionally accredited postsecondary institution may be counted for the high school program for that portion of the day that the student is attending the postsecondary institution; provided, however, that the student is attending the high school for at least three segments that are eligible to be counted under this subsection and that the student's
postsecondary program is approved by the high school principal or the principal's designee. The state board shall adopt such regulations and criteria as necessary to ensure
objective and true counts of students in state approved instructional programs. The state board shall also establish criteria by which students shall be counted as resident or nonresident students, including specific circumstances which may include, but not be
limited to, students attending another local school system under court order or under the terms of a contract between two local school systems. If a local school system has
a justifiable reason, it may seek authority from the state board to shift full-time equivalent program counts from the designated date to a requested alternate date.
(b) The full-time equivalent (FTE) program count for each local school system shall be obtained in the following manner:
(1) Count the number of one-sixth segments of the school day for which each stu-
dent is enrolled in each program authorized under Code Section 20-2-161; and
(2) Divide the total number of segments counted for each program by six. The result is the full-time equivalent program count for each respective state recognized program.
(c) For the purpose of initially determining the amount of funds to be appropriated to finance each respective program for the ensuing fiscal year, a projection of the third second full-time equivalent program count shall be calculated as follows:
(1) Divide the second first total full-time equivalent count for the current fiscal year by the second first total full-time equivalent count for the immediately preceding fiscal year;
(2) Multiply the quotient obtained in paragraph (1) of this subsection by the third second total full-time equivalent count for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The result shall be the projected third second total full-time equivalent count for the current fiscal year;
(3) Divide the average of the local school system's three two most recent full-time
equivalent program counts by the average of the three two most recent total full-time equivalent counts; and
(4) Multiply the quotient obtained in paragraph (3) of this subsection by the product obtained in paragraph (2) of this subsection. The result shall be the projected third second full-time equivalent program count for the current fiscal year.
(d) The average of the first twe full-time equivalent program counts ad the projected tnird tun*time equivalent program count tor tnc current tiscal year count,
weighted two parts, and the projected second full-time equivalent program count, weighted one part, shall be used to initially determine the funds needed to finance the program for the ensuing fiscal year.
(e) After such time as the student information portion of the state-wide comprehensive educational information network has been implemented pursuant to Code Section

3628

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

20-2-320, and after such time as the third second full-time equivalent count for the current fiscal year can be completed prior to April 1 of the current year, the average^ as calculated pursuant to subsection (d) of this Code section, of the local school system's three two full-time equivalent program counts for the current fiscal year shall serve as the full-time equivalent count used to allot the funds needed to finance each respective program for the ensuing fiscal year. In the event that funds needed for this purpose exceed the amount appropriated for this purpose, the additional needed funds shall be drawn from an amount to be appropriated annually by the General Assembly for this purpose. Prior to the completion of the student information component of said information network, and prior to such time as the third second full-time equivalent count for the current fiscal year can be completed prior to April 1 of the current year, allotment of funds needed to finance each respective program for the ensuing fiscal year shall be based on the average2 as calculated pursuant to subsection (d) of this Code section, of the local system's first twe full-time equivalent program counts count and the projected third second full-time equivalent program count for the current fiscal year."
Section 2. Said article is further amended by striking in its entirety subsection (a) of Code Section 20-2-162, relating to the annual recalculation of certain funding, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(a) The State Board of Education shall annually recalculate the total amount needed under the Quality Basic Education Formula for the midterm adjustment for the current fiscal year using the average of the first twe full-time equivalent counts and the
second full-time equivalent counts for the current fiscal year, with the first full-time equivalent count weighted two parts and the projected second full-time equivalent count weighted one part; provided, however, that after such time as the student information portion of the state-wide comprehensive educational information network has been implemented pursuant to Code Section 20-2-320, and after such time as the third second full-time equivalent count for the current fiscal year can be completed prior to April 1 of the current year, then if the third second full-time equivalent count for the current fiscal year is lower than the projected third second count, the midterm adjustment shall be calculated using the average of the three two actual full-time equivalent counts for the current fiscal year; with the first full-time equivalent count weighted two parts and the second full-time equivalent count weighted one part. If the total amount needed by each local school system when recalculated is greater than the initial amount calculated, then the state board shall increase the total allotment for said system by the difference between the recalculation and the initial calculation. All funds allocated as the result of this recalculation to a local school system for direct instructional costs as defined in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 20-2-167 shall be applied to the direct instructional costs of any or all of the instructional programs specified in Code Section 20-2-161 which had full-time equivalent counts pursuant to this Code section that are higher than the full-time equivalent counts upon which the initial allocations were based. The balance of the funds allocated to a local school system as the result of this recalculation must be applied to items specified in Code Sections 20-2-182 through 20-2-186 for instructional programs specified in subsection (b) of Code Section 20-2-161 and shall not be expended for any program or service explicitly excluded from the fulltime equivalent count in Code Section 20-2-160. The total amount of increased funding required by the midterm adjustment shall be requested by the state board and shall demonstrate for each receiving local school system the average full-time equivalent count used in the initial calculation compared to the midterm average count for each program category system wide. If the recalculation for a local school system is less than the initial calculation, the amount of funds initially allotted to the system shall not be reduced for the current fiscal year. Local school systems which fail to provide the state board with complete full-time equivalent student counts by instructional program in the manner and by dates prescribed by the state board shall not be eligible for recalculation of their current year allotment."

(1) Upon the first conviction of any such offense, with no arrest and conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to such offense within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of sus pension shall be for 12 months. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be reinstated if such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays a restoration fee of $36.00 er $26.00 $210.00 or $200.00 when such reinstate ment is processed by mailj provided that, if such license was suspended as a result of a conviction of an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54, such license shall be rein stated if such person submits proof of completion of either a defensive driving pro gram approved by the Department of Public Safety or a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee.

For purposes of this paragraph, an accepted plea of nolo contendere to an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 by a person who is under 18 years of age at the time of arrest shall constitute a conviction. For the purposes of this paragraph only, an accepted plea of nolo coatendere by a person 18 years of age or older, with no conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a plea of nolo contend ere is accepted, shall not be considered a conviction; however, the court having juris diction shall forward, as provided in Code Section 40-6-391.1, the record of such disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety and the record of such dis position shall be kept on file for the purpose of considering and counting such

Such person shall not be eligible for early reinstatement of his driver's license as provided in this Code section or in Article 4 of this chapter and shall not be eligible for a limited driving per mit as provided in Code Section 40-5-64. For purposes of this subsection, an accepted plea of nolo contendere to homicide by vehicle in the first degree or serious injury by vehicle shall constitute a conviction."
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 40-5-64, relating to limited driving permits, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-5-64 to read as follows:
"40-5-64. (a) To whom issued. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Code Section 40-5-57, or 40-5-63, or 40-5-67.2 or any other Code sections of this chapter, any person may apply for a limited driving permit when and only when that person's driver's license has been suspended in accordance with subsection (d) of Code Section 40-5-57, ef paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-63 or paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-67.2, provided that such person has not had his driver's license suspended under Code Section 40-5-68.
(b) Application form. Applications for limited driving permits shall be made upon such forms as the commissioner may prescribe. Such forms shall require such informa tion as is necessary for the department to determine the need for such permit. All appli cations shall be signed by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths.
(c) Standards for approval. The department shall issue a limited driving permit if the application indicates that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant. For the purposes of this Code section, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot reasonably obtain other transportation, and therefore the applicant would be prohibited from:
(1) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his occu pation;
(2) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs; (3) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a student; (4) Attending regularly scheduled sessions or meetings of support organizations for persons who have addiction or abuse problems related to alcohol or other drugs, which organizations are recognized by the commissioner; or (5) Attending under court order any driver education or improvement school or alcohol or drug program or course approved by the court which entered the judgment of conviction resulting in suspension of his driver's license or by the commissioner. (d) Conditions attached. A limited driving permit shall be endorsed with such condi tions as the commissioner deems necessary to ensure that such permit will be used by the permittee only to avoid the conditions of extreme hardship. Such conditions may include the following restrictions: (1) Specific places between which the permittee may be allowed to operate a motor vehicle; (2) Routes to be followed by the permittee; (3) Times of travel; (4) The specific vehicles which the permittee may operate; and (5) Such other restrictions as the department may require. (e) Duration of permit. A permit issued pursuant to this Code section shall be $5.00 and shall be nonrenewable and shall become invalid upon the expiration of one year fol lowing the effective date of suspension of the applicant's driver's license, except that such limited driving permit shall expire upon the earlier reinstatement of the driver's license. A person convicted of such offense whose driver's license had been surrendered to the court in which such conviction was adjudged may apply to the department for a limited driving permit, immediately following such conviction. Upon the applicant's execution of an affidavit attesting to such facts and to the fact that the court had not imposed a suspension or revocation of his driver's license or driving privileges inconsist ent with the driving privileges to be conferred by the limited driving permit applied for, the department may issue such person a limited driving permit. A person convicted of such offense whose driver's license had not been surrendered to such court immediately

3670

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

following such conviction may apply to the department for a permit. Upon the appli cant's surrender to the department of his driver's license and the execution of a similar affidavit, or if he has lost his driver's license, upon execution of an additional affidavit to that effect, the department may issue such person a limited driving permit.
(f) Liability of issuing officer. No official or employee of the department shall be criminally or civilly liable or subject to being held in contempt of court for issuing a lim ited driving permit in reliance on the truth of the affidavits required by this Code sec tion.
(g) Revocation of permit. (1) Any permittee who is convicted of violating any state law or local ordinance relating to the movement of vehicles or any permittee who is convicted of violating the conditions endorsed on his permit shall have his permit revoked by the department. Any court in which such conviction is had shall require the permittee to surrender the permit to the court, and the court shall forward it to the department within ten days after the conviction, with a copy of the conviction.
(2) Any person whose limited driving permit has been revoked shall not be eligible to apply for a driver's license until six months from the date such permit was surren dered to the department. The department may impose an additional period of suspen sion for the conviction upon which revocation of the permit was based, (h) Hearings. Any person whose permit has been revoked, or who has been refused a permit by the department, may make a request in writing for a hearing to be provided by the department. Such hearing shall be provided by the department within 30 days after the receipt of such request and shall follow the procedures required by Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.'

Section 2. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 40-5-63, relating to periods of suspension and conditions of return of a license, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-5-63 to read as follows:
"40-5-63. (a) The driver's license of any person convicted of an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 or of violating Code Section 40-6-3912 unless the driver's license has been previously suspended pursuant to Code Sections 40-5-67.1 and 40-5-67.2, shall by operation of law be suspended and such suspension shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(1) Upon the first conviction of any such offense, with no arrest and conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to such offense within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of sus pension shall be for 12 months. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be reinstated if such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays a restoration fee of $86.00 er $26.00 $210.00 or $200.00 when such reinstate ment is processed by mail^ provided that, if such license was suspended as a result of a conviction of an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54, such license shall be rein stated if such person submits proof of completion of either a defensive driving pro gram approved by the Department of Public Safety or a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee. A driver's license suspended as a result of a conviction of a violation of Code Section 40-6-391 shall not become valid and shall remain sus pended until such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee. For purposes of this paragraph, an accepted plea of nolo contendere to an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 by a person who is under 18 years of age at the time of arrest shall constitute a conviction. For the purposes of this paragraph only, an accepted plea of nolo contendere by a person 18 years of age or older, with no conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a plea of nolo contend ere is accepted, shall not be considered a conviction; however, the court having juris diction shall forward, as provided in Code Section 40-6-391.1, the record of such disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety and the record of such dis position shall be kept on file for the purpose of considering and counting such accepted plea of nolo contendere as a conviction under paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection;
(2) Upon the second conviction of any such offense within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of suspension shall be for three years. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be rein stated if such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays a res toration fee of $36.00 ef $26.00 $210.00 or $200.00 when processed by mail; provided that, if such license was suspended as a result of a conviction of an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54, such license shall be reinstated if such person submits proof of completion of either a defensive driving program approved by the Department of Public Safety or a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee. For pur poses of this paragraph, a plea of nolo contendere and all previous accepted pleas of nolo contendere to an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 within such five-year
period of time shall constitute a conviction. For the purposes of this paragraph, a plea
of nolo contendere to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 and all prior

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

accepted pleas of nolo contendere within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, shall be considered and counted as convictions; or
(3) Upon the third conviction of any such offense within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, such person shall be considered a habitual violator, and his license shall be revoked as provided for in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-62. For purposes of this paragraph, a plea of nolo contendere and all previous accepted pleas of nolo contendere to an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 within such five-year period shall constitute a conviction. For the purposes of this paragraph, a plea of nolo contendere and all prior accepted pleas of nolo contendere to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, shall be considered and counted as convictions.

(d) (c) In all cases in which the department may return a license to a driver prior to the termination of the full period of suspension, the department may require such tests of driving skill and knowledge as it determines to be proper, and the department's discretion shall be guided by the driver's past driving record and performance, and the driver shall pay a the applicable restoration fee ef $36.00 er $26.00 when such rcinstato-

Such person shall not be eligible for early reinstatement of his driver's license as provided in this Code section or in Article 4 of this chapter and shall not be eligible for a limited driving per mit as provided in Code Section 40-5-64. For purposes of this subsection, an accepted plea of nolo contendere to homicide by vehicle in the first degree or serious injury by vehicle shall constitute a conviction."
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 40-5-64, relating to limited driving permits, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-5-64 to read as follows:
"40-5-64. (a) To whom issued. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Code Section 40-5-572 er 40-5-63j or 40-5-67.2 or any other Code sections of this chapter, any person may apply for a limited driving permit when and only when that person's driver's license has been suspended in accordance with subsection (d) of Code Section 40-5-57j er paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-63 or paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-67.2, provided that such person has not had his driver's license suspended under Code Section 40-5-68.
(b) Application form. Applications for limited driving permits shall be made upon such forms as the commissioner may prescribe. Such forms shall require such informa tion as is necessary for the department to determine the need for such permit. All appli cations shall be signed by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1992

3683

(c) Standards for approval. The department shall issue a limited driving permit if the application indicates that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant. For the purposes of this Code section, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot reasonably obtain other transportation, and therefore the applicant would be prohibited from:
(1) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his occu pation;
(2) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs; (3) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a student; (4) Attending regularly scheduled sessions or meetings of support organizations for persons who have addiction or abuse problems related to alcohol or other drugs, which organizations are recognized by the commissioner; or (5) Attending under court order any driver education or improvement school or alcohol or drug program or course approved by the court which entered the judgment of conviction resulting in suspension of his driver's license or by the commissioner. (d) Conditions attached. A limited driving permit shall be endorsed with such condi tions as the commissioner deems necessary to ensure that such permit will be used by the permittee only to avoid the conditions of extreme hardship. Such conditions may include the following restrictions: (1) Specific places between which the permittee may be allowed to operate a motor vehicle; (2) Routes to be followed by the permittee; (3) Times of travel; (4) The specific vehicles which the permittee may operate; and
(5) Such other restrictions as the department may require.
(e) Duration of permit. A permit issued pursuant to this Code section shall be $5.00 and shall be nonrenewable and shall become invalid upon the expiration of one year fol lowing the effective date of suspension of the applicant's driver's license, except that such limited driving permit shall expire upon the earlier reinstatement of the driver's license. A person convicted of such offense whose driver's license had been surrendered to the court in which such conviction was adjudged may apply to the department for a limited driving permit, immediately following such conviction. Upon the applicant's execution of an affidavit attesting to such facts and to the fact that the court had not imposed a suspension or revocation of his driver's license or driving privileges inconsist ent with the driving privileges to be conferred by the limited driving permit applied for, the department may issue such person a limited driving permit. A person convicted of such offense whose driver's license had not been surrendered to such court immediately following such conviction may apply to the department for a permit. Upon the appli cant's surrender to the department of his driver's license and the execution of a similar affidavit, or if he has lost his driver's license, upon execution of an additional affidavit to that effect, the department may issue such person a limited driving permit.
(f) Liability of issuing officer. No official or employee of the department shall be criminally or civilly liable or subject to being held in contempt of court for issuing a lim ited driving permit in reliance on the truth of the affidavits required by this Code sec tion.
(g) Revocation of permit. (1) Any permittee who is convicted of violating any state law or local ordinance relating to the movement of vehicles or any permittee who is convicted of violating the conditions endorsed on his permit shall have his permit revoked by the department. Any court in which such conviction is had shall require the permittee to surrender the permit to the court, and the court shall forward it to the department within ten days after the conviction, with a copy of the conviction.
(2) Any person whose limited driving permit has been revoked shall not be eligible to apply for a driver's license until six months from the date such permit was surren dered to the department. The department may impose an additional period of suspen sion for the conviction upon which revocation of the permit was based.
(h) Hearings. Any person whose permit has been revoked, or who has been refused a permit by the department, may make a request in writing for a hearing to be provided

3684

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

by the department. Such hearing shall be provided by the department within 30 days after the receipt of such request and shall follow the procedures required by Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.' Appeal from such hearing shall be in accordance with said chapter.
(i) Rules and regulations. The board may promulgate such rules and regulations as are necessary to implement this Code section.
(j) Penalty. Any permittee who operates a motor vehicle in violation of any condition specified on the permit shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
Section 4. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-66, relating to appeals from the department, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Except as provided in subsection {e> (hj of Code Section 40-6 66 40-5-67.1 and subsection (h) of Code Section 40-5-64, any decision rendered by the department shall be final unless the aggrieved person shall desire an appeal. In such case, such person shall have the right to enter an appeal in the superior court of the county of his resi dence or in the Superior Court of Fulton County. Such appeal shall name the commis sioner as defendant and must be filed within 30 days from the date the department enters its decision or order. The person filing the appeal shall not be required to post any bond nor to pay the costs in advance."
Section 5. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 40-5-67, relating to seizure and disposition of the driver's license of a person charged with driving under the influence, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-5-67 to read as follows:
"40-5-67. (a) Whenever any resident or nonresident person is charged with violating Code Section 40-6-391, the law enforcement officer shall take the driver's license of the person so charged. The driver's license shall be attached to the court's copy of the uni form traffic citation and complaint form and shall be forwarded to the court having jurisdiction of the offense. A copy of the uniform traffic citation and complaint form shall be forwarded, within ten days of issue, to the Department of Public Safety. Taking the driver's license as required in this Code section shall not prohibit any law enforce ment officer or agency from requiring any cash bond authorized by Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 17.
(b) At the time the law enforcement officer takes the driver's license, he shall issue a temporary driving permit to the person? as follows:
(1)_If the driver refuses to submit to a test or tests to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs as required in Code Section 40-5-55, the officer shall issue a 20 day temporary driving permit;
(2) If the driver's license is required to be suspended under Code Section 40-5-67.1, the officer shall issue a 20 day temporary driving permit;
(3) If the test or tests administered pursuant to Code Section 40-5-55 indicate a blood alcohol concentration of less than the level for an administrative suspension of the license under Code Section 40-5-67.1, the officer shall issue a 180 day temporary driving permit. This temporary driving permit shall be valid until the expiration ef i80 days, for the stated period or until the person's driving privilege is suspended or revoked under any provision of this title. The Department of Public Safety, at its sole discretion, may delay the expiration date of the temporary driving permit, but in no event shall this delay extend beyond the date when such person's driving privilege is suspended or revoked under any provision of this title. The department shall by rules and regulations establish the conditions under which the expiration of the temporary permit may be delayed, (c) (1) If the person is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall, within ten days, forward the person's driver's license and the record of the disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety. At this time, the court shall also require the person to surrender the temporary driving permit issued pursuant to sub section (b) of this Code section.

Section 6. Said title is further amended by adding new Code Sections 40-5-67.1 and 40-5-67.2 to read as follows:
"40-5-67.1. (a) The test or tests required under Code Section 40-5-55 shall be administered as soon as possible at the request of a law enforcement officer having rea sonable grounds to believe that the person has been driving or was in actual physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highways or elsewhere throughout this state in violation of Code Section 40-6-391 and the officer has arrested such person for a vio lation of Code Section 40-6-391, any federal law in conformity with Code Section 40-6-391, or any local ordinance which adopts Code Section 40-6-391 by reference or the person has been involved in a traffic accident resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Subject to Code Section 40-6-392, the requesting law enforcement officer shall designate which test shall be administered, provided that the officer shall require a breath test or a blood test and may require a urine test.
(b) At the time a chemical test or tests are requested, the person shall be informed by the arresting officer that:
(1) Georgia law requires the person to submit to a test to determine if the person is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs;
(2) If the testing is refused, the person's driver's license or right to drive will be suspended for a period of one year or, if the person is under age 18, for a period of one year or until the age of 18, whichever is greater, or, if the vehicle is a commercial vehicle, the person will be disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle for a minimum period of one year;
(3) If a test is performed and the results indicate a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10 grams or more, the driver's license or right to drive may be suspended for a mini mum period of one year or, for a person under the age of 18, a blood alcohol concen tration of 0.06 grams or more, the person's driver's license or right to drive will be suspended for a minimum period of one year or until the age of 18, whichever is greater, and if the vehicle was a commercial motor vehicle and the test results indicate the presence of any alcohol, the person will be issued an out-of-service order and will be prohibited from operating a motor vehicle for 24 hours, and if the results indicate a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04 grams or more, the person will be disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle for a minimum period of one year;
(4) After submitting to the required testing, the person shall be entitled to obtain an additional test or tests at the expense of such person; and
(5) The refusal to submit to a test may be offered into evidence against the person at trial. Failure to provide any notice required under this subsection shall not invalidate the sus pension pursuant to this Code section of any driver's license. (c) If a person under arrest or a person who was involved in any traffic accident resulting in serious injuries or fatalities submits to a chemical test upon the request of a law enforcement officer and the test results indicate that a suspension or disqualifica tion is required under this Code section, the results shall be reported to the department. Upon the receipt of a sworn report of the law enforcement officer that the officer had reasonable grounds to believe the arrested person had been driving or was in actual physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highway or elsewhere throughout this state in violation of Code Section 40-6-391 or that such person had been driving or was in actual physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highways or else where throughout this state and was involved in a traffic accident involving serious inju ries or fatalities and that the person submitted to a chemical test at the request of the law enforcement officer and the test results indicate either a blood alcohol concentration

3686

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of 0.10 grams or more or, for a person under the age of 18, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.06 grams or more, the department shall suspend the person's driver's license, per mit, or nonresident operating privilege pursuant to Code Section 40-5-67.2, subject to review as provided for in this chapter. A person's license shall not be suspended for the first time pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence unless, in addition to any other requirement for that suspension, that person has been convicted of or had a plea of nolo contendere accepted within the previous five years to a charge of violating any provision of this chapter for which any test may be required under Code Section 40-5-55. Upon the receipt of a sworn report of the law enforcement officer that the arrested person had been operating or was in actual physical control of a moving com mercial motor vehicle and the test results indicate a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04 grams or more, the department shall disqualify the person from operating a motor vehi cle for a minimum period of one year.
(d) If a person under arrest or a person who was involved in any traffic accident resulting in serious injuries or fatalities refuses, upon the request of a law enforcement officer, to submit to a chemical test designated by the law enforcement officer as pro vided in subsection (a) of this Code section, no test shall be given; but the law enforce ment officer shall report the refusal to the Department of Public Safety. Upon the receipt of a sworn report of the law enforcement officer that the officer had reasonable grounds to believe the arrested person had been driving or was in actual physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highways or elsewhere throughout this state in viola tion of Code Section 40-6-391 or that such person had been driving or was in actual physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highways or elsewhere throughout this state and was involved in a traffic accident which resulted in serious injuries or fatalities and that the person had refused to submit to the test upon the request of the law enforcement officer, the department shall suspend the person's driver's license, per mit, or nonresident operating privilege for a period of one year or if the person was operating or in actual physical control of a commercial motor vehicle, the department shall disqualify the person from operating a commercial motor vehicle and shall suspend the person's driver's license, permit, or nonresident operating privilege, subject to review as provided for in this chapter.

(B) Whether the person was involved in a motor vehicle accident or collision resulting in serious injury or fatality; and

shall satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph.
(3) The hearing officer shall, within five calendar days after such hearing, forward a decision to the department to rescind or sustain the driver's license suspension or
disqualification. If no hearing is requested within the five calendar days specified above, the right to a hearing shall have been waived. The request for a hearing shall
not stay the suspension of the driver's license.
(h) If the suspension is sustained after such a hearing, the person whose license has been suspended under this Code section shall have a right to file for a judicial review
of the department's final decision, as provided for in Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act'; while such appeal is pending, the order of the depart ment shall not be stayed.

_____ ___ _ patients who are residents of other states, 'Income' means that amount determined by adding to the gross income as now or hereafter defined in Georgia income tax laws, minus deductions and personal exemptions as authorized by such income tax laws, the following items listed in this paragraph, if such items are not already included in gross income as defined above. For a patient who is a resi dent of another state, 'income' means the same as above except no deductions will be made for any deductions or personal exemptions as authorized by Georgia income tax laws. The following items are to be added, respectively:
(A) Any amounts received by or on behalf of the person liable for cost of care from accident insurance or workers' compensation for total or partial incapacity to work, plus the amount of any damages received by or on behalf of the person liable for cost of care, whether by suit or agreement, on account of such injuries or sick
ness; (B) The net income from property acquired by gift, bequest, devise, or descent; (C) Interest upon obligations of the United States government or of this state
or of a political subdivision thereof; (D) The net income from individual holdings of stock in banks and trust compa
nies incorporated under the banking laws of this state or of the United States; (E) Retirement income, social security benefits, veterans' benefits, and any other
benefits that could be applied for the support of the patient; (F) The net income from any other assets, including but not limited to personal
property, real property, or mixed property, and any other property or estate wherever located and in whatever form, inclusive of any assets sold or transferred within a period of 90 days prior to the date services were first rendered to the patient by a hospital. (4) 'Patient' means any person who is admitted to or who receives services from a state hospital. (5) 'Persons liable for cost of care' means:
(A) The patient or his estate; (B) The patient's spouse; (C) The parent or parents of any patient under 18 years of age; (D) Any fiduciary or representative payee holding assets for the patient or on his behalf, including, in his representative capacity, the guardian, trustee, executor, or administrator of any trust, estate, inheritance, or fund in which a patient has a legal or beneficial interest; -. (E) Any person, if not otherwise liable, listed as the insured member of a con tract, plan, or benefit to the extent that such contract, plan, or benefit provides payment of hospitalization, medical expenses, and other health care services for the patient as a covered beneficiary or dependent; (F) A stepparent or any other person residing with and providing support of a patient under 18 years of age who has not been legally adopted by such individual, with maximum liability limited to the amount such stepparent or other individual is authorized by Georgia income tax laws to claim as a standard deduction and per sonal exemption for the patient; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to liability pursuant to other provisions of this chapter regarding hospital, health, and other medical insurance, program, or plan benefits or subrogation rights. (6) 'State hospital' means any state hospital which now or hereafter comes under the control of the Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse of the department and any facility operated in conjunction herewith therewith."
Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 37-9-5, relating to the assessment of persons liable for cost of care generally, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 37-9-5 to read as follows:
"37-9-5. (a) The department shall determine all persons who are liable for the cost of care of a patient and notify such persons of their joint and several liability and of their assessment. Such notice shall offer opportunity for any person so notified to be heard to show cause, if there be any, why such person should not be liable for payment of the assessment.

3708

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(b) When the department determines that persons legally liable for the cost of care of a patient do not have sufficient income or assets to pay the entire cost of care, the department shall determine for each such person the amount payable toward cost of care which shall be a fair and equitable amount based on ability to pay determined in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 37-9-6. When applicable, the notice provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section shall reflect as the assessment the amount payable toward cost of care provided for in this chapter; and if a hearing is requested by any person receiving such notice, such person may question his liability for cost of care as well as the amount of his assessment. Failure of the patient or other per sons liable for cost of care to provide finnnical financial information to the department required to determine assessments on the basis of ability to pay in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 37-9-6 or failure of the patient or other persons liable for cost of care to cooperate with the department in obtaining payment of any insurance or health benefits available for a patient may result in assessment of such persons of the full cost of care of the patient. Failure of the patient or other persons liable for cost of care to cooperate with the department in applying on behalf of the patient for federal benefits and insurance, program, or plan benefits in order that a determination may be made of eligibility for such benefits may also result in assessment of such persons of the full cost of care of the patient and the burden of providing information to reduce the full cost of care is on the patient or other persons liable for cost of care.
(c) Any investigation or hearing regarding ability to pay shall not operate to deny or delay admission of a patient to a hospital or to deny or delay providing services for such patient.
(d) It shall be the duty of the department to reexamine the assessment periodically and either reduce or increase such assessment as hereinafter provided in accordance with changes in the ability to pay of the person liable for cost of care. If the department determines that the economic circumstances of a person liable for cost of care have improved to an extent justifying an increase in the assessment, any such increase shall apply only to cost of care for services rendered for the patient after the effective date of the increase in assessment and no such increase shall cause the assessment to exceed the total cost of care. The department may not increase an assessment as provided in this Code section without affording the person liable for cost of care an opportunity for a hearing on the question of the increase in the assessment. A person liable for cost of care may apply to the department for a change in the assessment when the person's eco nomic circumstances have changed sufficiently to affect adversely his future ability to pay. If an assessment for services previously rendered for a patient is being paid in accordance with a scheduled plan of payments approved by the department, then a reduction in assessment because of a change in the economic circumstances affecting adversely the ability to pay of the person liable for cost of care may apply to that por tion of the assessment for services previously rendered for the patient which remain unpaid as of the date of the reduction of the assessment as well as to the assessment for cost of services rendered after the date of the reduction. However, no such reduction shall require the refund of any payments made on an assessment prior to the date of the reduction of the assessment. After investigation and hearing, the department shall act upon the application made by the person liable for cost of care. Any redetermination of the assessment pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the requirements of Code Section 37-9-6. Notwithstanding any reexamination or corresponding adjustment of an assessment which might be afforded, each assessment shall be valid for a period of 12 months from the date of the initial assessment or any reassessment thereafter. No reduction, increase, or opportunity for hearing shall be allowed after the assessment period.

Section 3. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 37-9-6, relating to standards for determination of assessments for less than full cost of care, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 37-9-6 to read as follows:
"37-9-6. The board shall establish standards for determining assessments when such assessments are less than the full cost of care. Such standards shall be based on the income, assets, and other circumstances of the persons liable for cost of care and shall include consideration of the number of dependents, as defined under Georgia income tax law and regulations; legal rights to payment under any insurance agreement, and other evidence of ability to pay; but no assessment shall be fixed or collected on the basis of any assets exempted by subsection (b) of Code Section 37-9-8. In determining assess ments for persons liable for cost of care, the department shall develop procedures to ensure that no dependent, deduction, or personal exemption as defined by Georgia income tax law will be reflected more than once in the determination of assessments for any one patient. In establishing standards to determine such assessments, the board shall adopt criteria to be applied uniformly to all persons liable for cost of care^ except that the board may adopt separate criteria for assessing monthly benefits or funds from any source to cover cost of care, support, and treatment provided to patients who are hospitalized for longer than three months and whose current needs, as defined by the Social Security Administration, are being met. However, the board shall ensure that the assessment made each month shall allow the recipients of such benefits or funds to retain at a minimum an amount as a personal allowance equal to the amount of the per sonal needs allowance allowed beneficiaries under the state medical assistance plan. Fur ther, such Stteh standards will include special provisions for assessing mentally retarded respite care admissions under Code Section 37-4-21 or any other respite program allowed by law or duly adopted departmental regulations, where such admissions are legally lim ited to 56 days of care a year. To the extent practicable, such criteria shall ensure that persons having the same or substantially the same financial ability to pay cost of care shall have the same or substantially the same financial obligation to pay such cost of care."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 37-9-7, relating to the authority of the department to determine income and assets, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 37-9-7 to read as follows:
37-9-7. (a) The department, through its duly authorized agents, shall have the authority to investigate or otherwise determine the income and assets of the patient or his estate and when necessary the income and assets of all other persons liable for the cost of care of such patient in order to determine ability to pay cost of care. All persons liable for cost of care must provide signed consent forms necessary to authorize and con duct an investigation to determine the income and assets of such persons in order to determine ability to pay cost of care. The department shall further have the authority to contract with any person, firm, or corporation which it finds necessary to provide the information appropriate to the carrying out of its duties under this chapter.
(b) The department shall require declarations to be filed by the patient or other per sons liable for cost of care necessary to determine the assessments required by this chap ter and shall prescribe the form and content thereof. All such declarations are to be

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

regarded as essential to carrying out the public policy of this state; and any person who knowingly falsifies such declarations shall be charged as for false swearing. Failure by the patient or other persons liable for cost of care to (1) provide information required by such declarations or (2) provide signature of consent for the department to conduct an investigation authorized by subsection (a) of this Code section shall create a rebuttable presumption that the patient or other persons liable for cost of care consent to and agree with the assessment of the full cost of care, and the declaration shall contain on its face, conspicuously and in clear language, a statement to that effect.
(c) The department, through its duly authorized agents, shall have access to Georgia income tax records for the purpose of obtaining necessary information to enforce this chapter. Upon the request of the department 'or its duly authorized agents, the state rev enue commissioner and his agents or employees shall disclose such income tax informa tion contained in any report or return required under Georgia law as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of this chapter. Any tax information secured from the federal government by the Department of Revenue pursuant to express provisions of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code may not be disclosed by the Department of Revenue pursuant to this subsection. Any person receiving any tax information or tax returns under the authority of this subsection shall be considered either an officer or employee as those terms are used in subsection (a) of Code Section 48-7-60; and as such an officer or employee, any person receiving any tax information or returns under the authority of this subsection shall be subject to Code Section 48-7-61.
(d) Any evidence, records, or other information obtained by the department or its duly authorized agents pursuant to the authority of this Code section shall be confiden tial and shall be used by the department or its agents only for the purposes of enforcing this chapter and shall not be released for any purpose other than a hearing provided for by this chapter.
(e) The department shall develop procedures to ensure that persons with no other documentation or evidence may sign an affidavit attesting to their indigent financial sta tus."
Section 5. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety subsection (b) of Code Section 37-9-8, relating to use of assets other than income for determination of assessments, and inserting in lieu thereof new subsections (b), (c), and (d) to read as fol lows:
"(b) The following assets of a person liable for cost of care shall be exempt from sub section (a) of this Code section:
(1) Real property which qualifies for a homestead exemption from ad valorem tax ation; and
(2) Any other real property which constitutes the principal residence of the person liable for cost of care but which does not qualify for a homestead exemption under paragraph (1) of this subsection; and
(3)--Any ether assets p to a tetel vatee ef- $10,000.00. (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code section, as of January 1^ 1993, following six months of continuous inpatient hospitalization, the department is expressly authorized to levy an assessment for the full cost of care against the assets of all patients having assets accumulated from government benefit payments in excess of amounts allowed by the eligibility resource limit for institutionalized residents estab lished by Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act of 1935, as amended, and regula tions promulgated pursuant thereto, until said assets are reduced to a level which would establish resource eligibility under such program for the patient; provided, however, that the assets listed in subsection (b) of this Code section shall be exempt from such assess ment if said assets would also be an excluded resource under eligibility criteria of Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act. Following the effective date of this Code section, the department shall provide notice regarding the provisions of this subsection to patients and family members or other appropriate persons who may be affected by the provisions of this subsection. (d) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to supersede the provisions of Chapter 12 of Title 53, the 'Georgia Trust Act.'"

Section 6. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 37-9-9, relating to payment of cost of care from insurance, plans, or benefits, and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 37-9-9 to read as follows:
"37-9-9. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the department shall not be required to expend public funds for the purpose of providing support, care, and treat ment covered under this chapter to any patient until such patient has exhausted his or her eligibility and receipt of benefits under all other existing or future private, public, local, state, or federal programs or plans. Before the department expends public funds for a patient's cost of care, the department may assess and recover the cost of a patient's care from the patient or other persons liable for such patient's cost of care if such patient is eligible for benefits under any other program or plan. In the event the patient is covered by an insurance contract or any other plan or benefit of any nature providing for payment of hospitalization, medical expenses, and other health care services or any combination thereof, such patient or other person liable for the cost of care of such patient shall pay or cause to have paid from such insurance, plan, or benefit without deduction, exemptions, or credits, the full cost of care of the patient, or that portion thereof covered by such insurance, plan, or benefit. The assessment for cost of care of the patient made by the department pursuant to Code Section 37-9-5 shall be for the total amount payable by such insurance, plan, or benefit up to the total cost of care or for that portion of cost of care payable by such insurance, plan, or benefit; and if the proceeds from such insurance, plan, or benefit are less than the total cost of care, such assessment shall include an assessment based on the remaining balance, except where full payment of the balance or a portion thereof is required by a health insurance pro gram or other plan or benefit, in which case the balance or at least the required portion thereof will be the assessment. Further, the department shall comply with all federally funded health and medical insurance programs which require established amounts pay able by beneficiaries and is authorized to accept amounts payable toward cost of care under any insurance program, plan, or benefit if paid according to the provisions of such programs, plans, or benefits even though the amounts payable may exceed cost of care amounts as provided by this chapter. The department shall develop procedures to apply the provisions of this chapter, specifically Code Section 37-9-5, to any amounts which remain payable by the patient or beneficiaries under a federally funded health and med ical insurance program, provided that the application of any such procedures does not invalidate payment of benefits under the program. For the purpose of carrying out this Code section, the department is authorized to accept assignment of benefits payable under such insurance, plans, or benefits; but the department shall not require the assignment of such benefits as a condition precedent to the admission of a patient to a hospital or as a condition precedent to providing services for such pt.tient. In order to collect maximum benefits payable toward cost of care, the department is authorized to contract with any insurance program, plan, or benefit to become a participating mem ber hospital if payments are not made or are made at a lesser than full coverage amount to nonparticipating members. Moreover, the department or its designated agents will have subrogation rights to the recovery of a patient's cost of care that the patient or other person liable for the patient's cost of care may have against any person, estate, organization, entity, or plan. Further, if any patient or other person liable for the cost of a patient's care receives benefits or funds in settlement, judgment, or otherwise for any health care, medical expenses, or hospitalization or other care directly related to ser vices and care provided by the department to a patient, the patient or other person lia ble for cost of care will pay or cause to have paid the full cost of care or that portion thereof recovered which is directly related to the care provided by the department. This right of subrogation is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and this right shall be available for any enforcement or collection process which is contemplated under other provisions of this chapter."
Section 7. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 37-9-12, relating to the deposit of funds collected by the department, which reads as fol

The following Committee substitute was read:

A BILL
To amend Part 2 of Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the "Shore Assistance Act of 1979," so as to define certain terms; to provide an area of operation; to provide for authority of the Department of Natural Resources; to change the name of the Shore Assistance Committee; to make certain provisions relative to the membership of such committee; to provide powers of such committee; to provide for applications for permits for certain construction; to provide procedures relative to such applications; to provide for certain grants to local governments; to make provisions relative to certain orders; to make illegal the operation of a motor vehicle over certain dunes and beaches; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia, relating to coastal waters, beaches, and sand dunes, is amended by striking in its entirety Part 2, relating to engineering, construction, and other such activity along the shorelines, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"Part 2
12-5-230. This part shall be known and may be cited as the 'Shore Assistance Protec tion Act ef WTO.'
12-5-231. The General Assembly finds and declares that coastal sand dunes, beaches, sandbars, and shoals comprise a vital natural resource system, known as the sandsharing system, which acts as a buffer to protect real and personal property and natural resources from the damaging effects of floods, winds, tides, and erosion. It is recognized that the coastal sand dunes are the most inland portion of the sand-sharing system and that because the dunes are the fragile product of shoreline evolution, they are easily dis turbed by actions harming their vegetation or inhibiting their natural development. The General Assembly further finds that offshore sandbars and shoals are the system's first line of defense against the potentially destructive energy generated by winds, tides, and storms, and help to protect the onshore segment of the system by acting as reservoirs of sand for the beaches. Removal of sand from these bars and shoals can interrupt natu ral sand flows and can have unintended, undesirable, and irreparable effects on the entire sand-sharing system, particularly when the historical patterns of sand and water flows are not considered and accommodated. Also, it is found that ocean beaches provide an unparalleled natural recreation resource which has become vitally linked to the econ omy of Georgia's coastal zone and to that of the entire state. The General Assembly fur ther finds that this natural resource system is costly, if not impossible, to reconstruct or rehabilitate once adversely affected by man-related man related activities and is important to conserve for the present and future use and enjoyment of all citizens and visitors to this state and that the sand-sharing system is an integral part of Georgia's barrier islands, providing great protection to the state's marshlands and estuaries. The General Assembly further finds that this sand-sharing system is a vital area of the state and is essential to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of all the citizens of the state. Therefore, the General Assembly declares that the management of the sand-sharing sys tem has more than local significance, is of equal importance to all citizens of the state, is of state-wide concern, and consequently is properly a matter for regulation under the police power of the state. The General Assembly further finds and declares that activi ties and structures on offshore sandbars and shoals, for all purposes except federal navigational activities, must be regulated to ensure that the values and functions of the sand-sharing system are not impaired. It is declared to be a policy of this state and the intent of this part to protect this vital natural resource system by allowing only activi ties and alterations of the eeeatt sand dunes and beaches which are considered to be in the best interest of the state and which do not substantially impair the values and func tions of the sand-sharing system and by authorizing the local units of government of the

3742

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

State of Georgia to regulate activities and alterations of the ocean sand dunes and beaches and recognizing that, if the local units of government fail to carry out the poli cies expressed in this part, it is essential that the department undertake such regulation.

k Part 4 ef this article, ef ef n existing structure or of a structure existing on July lj 1979. The landward boundary of the dynamic dune field shall be the seaward most
line connecting any such tree or structure as set forth in this part to any other such tree or structure if the distance between the two is a reasonable distance not to exceed
250 feet. In determining what is a reasonable distance for purposes of this paragraph, topography, dune stability, vegetation, lot configuration, existing structures, distance from the ordinary high-water mark, and other relevant information shall be taken into consideration in order to conserve the vital functions of the sand-sharing system. If
a real estate appraiser certified pursuant to Chapter 39A of Title 43 determines that an existing structure, shoreline engineering activity, or other alteration which forms
part of the landward boundary of the dynamic dune field has been more than 80 per cent destroyed by storm driven water or erosion, the landward boundary of the dynamic dune field shall be determined as though such structure had not been in exis
tence on July lj 1979. (9) 'Erosion' means the wearing away of land whereby materials are removed from
the sand dunes, beaches, and shore face by natural processes, including, but not lim
ited to, wave action, tidal currents, littoral currents, and wind. (10) 'Local unit of government* means a county, as defined by Code Section 36-1-1,
or an incorporated municipality, as defined by Code Section 36-40-21, or any combina
tion thereof which has been authorized by an Act of the General Assembly, any of
which has within its jurisdiction any sand dune or beach. (11) 'Ordinary high-water mark' means the position along the shore of the mean
monthly spring high tide reached during the most recent tidal epoch. This term is not
synonymous with 'mean' high-water mark. (12) 'Ordinary low-water mark' means the position along the shore of the mean
monthly spring low tide reached during the most recent tidal epoch. This term is not synonymous with 'mean' low-water mark.
(13) 'Permit-issuing authority' means the Shore Assistance Protection Committee or a local unit of government which has adopted a program of shore assistance protection
which meets the standards of this part and which has been certified by the board as
an approved program.

A resolution creating the special Study Commission on Postsecondary Tech nical and Adult Education Finance.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A RESOLUTION
Creating the special Study Commission on Postsecondary Technical and Adult Educa tion Finance; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, there are 28 technical institutes owned and operated by the State of Georgia and governed by a 15 member State Board of Technical and Adult Education; and
WHEREAS, since the inception of the agency in 1986, the State Department of Tech nical and Adult Education has effectively developed a unified system of technical and adult education resulting in a vastly improved program of service delivery for the citizens of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, enrollment in the state's technical institutes has reached record levels with virtually every institute operating at or exceeding its capacity which has resulted in denying training opportunities to hundreds of students due to inadequate space and lack of instructors; and

MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1992

3865

WHEREAS, while only 25 percent of Georgia's students receive a high school diploma and a college degree, the remaining 75 percent drop out before completing a college degree program; and
WHEREAS, most of the 75 percent of Georgia's students who drop out prior to com pletion of a college degree will need specific occupational training in order to be employ able in the workforce of the future; and
WHEREAS, through the department's Adult Literacy program, thousands of high school dropouts, as well as individuals employed by Georgia businesses, are participating in G.E.D. education renewal, basic education, occupational diploma and associate degree programs; and
WHEREAS, Georgia's ability to compete in a global economy depends primarily on providing a highly skilled technically trained workforce that meets the needs of the employers and is adaptable to a changing workplace; and
WHEREAS, an investment in the education and training of the state's workforce pro motes and enhances the economic vitality of every Georgia community; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Technical and Adult Education is the only state edu cation agency which has no formula-based funding criteria applied to its annual appropria tion and receives less than 3.5 percent of the total state budget for education; and
WHEREAS, the lack of a funding formula continues to have an adverse effect on the Department of Technical and Adult Education's ability to provide needed services due to spiraling operating costs, capital expansion required for new and expanding programs, additional instructors, maintenance, repair and renovation of existing facilities, equipment, and various other support functions; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the State of Georgia to maintain a high qual ity world class system of technical and adult education in response to the increasing train ing and educational needs of Georgia's citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that a special study commission is created to define the needs of the State Department of Technical and Adult Education for state formula funding and to determine a way of addressing these needs. The study commission will consist of 16 members as fol lows:

(2) Two members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives;
(3) Two members of the Senate appointed by the President of the Senate; and (4) Four officials or employees of the State Department of Technical and Adult Education appointed by the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the commission shall receive the expenses and allowances provided by law for legislative members of interim legislative committees. The legislative members of the commission shall receive such expenses and allowances from funds appropriated or available to the Senate and House of Representa tives. The commission shall meet upon call of the chairman and is authorized to hold meetings and conduct studies at such times and places as the commission deems advisable in carrying out its duties; provided, however, the commission shall meet for not more than five days in carrying out its duties under this resolution. Except for the payment of expenses and allowances of legislative members of the commission, the funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution shall come from funds appropriated or available to the State Board of Technical and Adult Education and from donations to the commis sion received from private business interests in Georgia. The commission shall be autho rized to accept such donations to assist in funding the costs of carrying out the provisions

3866

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(1) To obtain from the director of the division a permit to conduct surface mining operations in the specified area to be mined prior to commencing the operation of same, provided that where a change in ownership of a mining operation occurs, the new owners may continue such operation on condition that a valid application, mined mining land use plan, and bond sufficient as to form and content for final approval are placed on file with the director within 60 days from date of consummation of the ownership change. In the event the new owners fail to place on file with the director the necessary documents for permitting within said 60 day period, all activities associ ated with removal of minerals or ores from the premises shall cease. It is further pro vided that a mining operator who continues to conduct a surface mining operation under a previous owner's permit in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to having said permit revoked in the same manner and under the same conditions as a mining operator conducting a surface mining operation under his own permit. The application for a permit shall be made on a form provided by the director. The permit shall be issued on evidence satisfactory to the director of compliance with this part and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant hereto, and the permit shall be conditioned upon the permittee's compliance with the approved mined mining land use plan;
(2) To submit, with the application for a permit, a mined mining land use plan which shall be consistent with the land use in the area of the mine and shall provide for reclamation of the affected land. Once approved, the operator will be responsible for completion of the plan. However, any change affecting a new area or any other change in an approved plan must be submitted to the division for approval as an amendment to an operator's mined mining land use plan;
(3) To file a bond with the director within 60 days after the date of being fur nished approved surety bond forms by the division; provided, however, that any mining operator who desires to be exempted from the bonding requirement shall request an exemption from such bonding requirement from the director, whereupon a mining operator may be exempted from such bonding requirement at the discretion of the director. Any mining operator who has been granted an exemption from the bonding requirement and who subsequently violates any of the provisions of this part or the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder, or who defaults on his obligations under any mined mining land use plan, may be required by the director to post a bond in accordance with this paragraph. Any bond filed with the director shall be written by a surety approved by the director and authorized to transact business in this state. Such bond shall be fixed by the director in an amount not more than $2,500.00 per acre, or fraction thereof, of the area of affected land. Such bond shall further be payable to the Governor and conditioned upon the faithful performance of the requirements set forth in this part and the rules and regulations promulgated pur suant hereto. Mining operators shall have the option of posting bond, government securities, cash, or any combination thereof on each mined area. In determining the amount of bond, government securities, or cash within the above limits, the director shall take into consideration the character and nature of the land reclamation require ments as approved in the operator's mined mining land use plan. For each permit, the director shall review and reevaluate at least every five years the site operation, objec tives of the mined land use plan, and estimated cost factors for completion of the plan and shall require adjustments to bonding amounts as may be necessary to ensure ade quate funding for site reclamation. The bond, government securities, or cash shall be held by the division until the affected land or any portion thereof is satisfactorily reclaimed, in the opinion of the director, at which time the bond, government securi ties, or cash or portion thereof shall be terminated or returned to the mining operator, provided that where a mining operator fails or refuses to complete any of his responsi bilities under a mined mining land use plan and the bond, government securities, or cash are consequently recovered upon or forfeited, the director may expend as he
deems appropriate that portion of such recovered or forfeited funds as is necessary to
complete such mining operator's responsibilities under the mined mining land use

Mining by a permitted operator on an unauthorized site while holding other valid surface mining permits shall constitute prima-facie evi dence of violation of approved mined mining land use plans, and any and all surface mining permits which an operator may hold may be suspended or revoked by the direc tor or his authorized representative."
Section 5. Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety subsection (b) of Code Section 12-4-83, relating to certain civil penalties, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, whenever the director of the division has reason to believe that any mining operator has violated any provision of this part or any of the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant hereto, or has neg ligently or intentionally failed or refused to comply with any final order of the director, the director may request and shall receive a hearing before a hearing officer appointed by the Board of Natural Resources. Upon a finding that such mining operator has vio lated any provision of this part or any of the rules and regulations promulgated pursu ant hereto, or has negligently or intentionally failed or refused to comply with a final order of the director, the hearing officer shall issue his initial decision imposing such civil penalties as are provided in this Code section. Such hearing and any judicial review thereof shall be conducted in accordance with subsection (c) of Code Section 12-2-2. All civil penalties recovered by the director shall be paid into the state treasury to the credit of the general fund; provided, however, that where civil penalties are recovered by the director from a mining operator for his failing or refusing to obtain a permit in accordance with Code Section 12-4-75 or for his failing or refusing to complete any of his responsibilities under a mined mining land use plan after having been issued a per mit, the director may expend as he deems appropriate that portion of such recovered civil penalties as is necessary to provide for reclamation, reconditioning, or rehabilitation of the affected land not otherwise reclaimed, reconditioned, or rehabilitated by such mining operator."
Section 6. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (c) of Code Section 12-5-376, relating to permits to construct and operate dams, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Code section, no permit shall be required to be obtained by any person who constructs a dam, if the dam is constructed in connec tion with or incidental to 'surface mining' as defined in Part 3 of Article 2 of Chapter 4 of this title, but if the dam so constructed is classified by the director as a category I dam, the owner or operator shall, upon the completion of the mining activity in con nection with which such dam was constructed, either drain and reclaim the impound ment formed by such dam pursuant to such person's mined mining land use plan approved by the director under Part 3 of Article 2 of Chapter 4 of this title, the 'Georgia Surface Mining Act of 1968,' or stabilize such impoundment as a lake pursuant to such mieel mining land use plan. If the impoundment is reclaimed as a lake and the dam which created the impoundment remains in place as a category I dam, then, before such lake is deemed acceptable reclamation and the miner is released from his obligations under Part 3 of Article 2 of Chapter 4 of this title the miner must obtain a permit for such dam as provided by this part."

3918

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"20-3-250.10A. (a) It is the purpose of this Code section to create a trust fund from participation fees from postsecondary educational institutions to enable such institu tions, collectively, to protect students against financial loss when a postsecondary educa tional institution closes without reimbursing its students and without completing its educational obligations to its students.
(b) (1) Effective on July 1, 1992, the Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund is created. The participation fees received by the commission from postsecondary educational institu tions pursuant to the provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of this Code section shall be deposited in the state treasury in a special account designated 'Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund' and shall be held in trust by the board of trustees provided for in para graph (2) of this subsection for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Code section. The money in the fund may be invested by said board of trustees in any bonds and other securities of agencies of the government of the United States and bonds and other securities of state and local governments. The earnings from such investments shall be deposited to the credit of the Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund and shall be available for the same purposes as other money deposited in the fund.
(2) The fund shall be administered by the Board of Trustees of the Tuition Guar anty Trust Fund. The board of trustees shall consist of five members of the commis sion designated by majority vote of the commission, but one of such members shall be a representative of a proprietary school, and one of such members shall be a repre sentative of a nonprofit degree-granting college. The five members of the commission who are so designated shall serve for such terms of office as members of the board as the commission shall establish by rule or regulation. The commission shall appoint one of the members so designated as chairman of the board. The executive director shall also serve as executive director and secretary of the board. Three members of the board must vote in agreement in order for the board to take official action. The commission may by rule or regulation provide for another member of the commission to serve in the place of a member of the board who is absent from a meeting of the board.
(c) (1) All postsecondary educational institutions operating in this state, except those which are exempt from the provisions of this part under Code Section 20-3-250.3, shall participate in the tuition guaranty fund. Those postsecondary educa tional institutions specified in paragraphs (10) and (11) of Code Section 20-3-250.3 shall participate in the tuition guaranty fund.
(2) Postsecondary educational institutions which were authorized to operate in this state prior to July 1, 1990, and which have maintained continuous authorization in this state between July 1, 1990, and July 1, 1992, shall participate in the fund and shall not be required to provide surety bonds as provided in Code Section 20-3-250.10; provided, however, that any surety bond provided by an institution before July 1, 1992, shall remain in effect for one full year after the effective date of such surety bond.
(3) Postsecondary educational institutions which are authorized to operate in this state on and after July 1, 1992, and which were first authorized to operate in this state on or after July 1, 1990, shall participate in the fund and provide the surety bonds required in Code Section 20-3-250.10; provided, however, that such surety bonds shall no longer be required of such institutions after July 1, 1994. Postsecondary educational institutions which are first authorized to operate in this state after July 1, 1992, shall participate in the fund for five years of continuous authorized operation and shall provide the surety bonds required by Code Section 20-3-250.10 for two full years of continuous authorized operation at which time such surety bonds shall no longer be, required of such institutions.
(d) (1) In addition to any other fees required by this part, the commission shall by regulation establish fees to be paid annually by postsecondary educational institutions for participation in the tuition guaranty fund. The fees shall be based on gross tuition collected during a year by each postsecondary educational institution. If an institution has not operated for a full year, its participation fee shall be based initially on its pro jected gross tuition for the first full year of operation. At the conclusion of the first

MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1992

3919

year, the fee for that year shall be adjusted to reflect actual gross tuition. The annual fee established by the commission shall be sufficient, when added to the earnings of the fund, to create a balance in the fund of at least $500,000.00 by July 1, 1997. The board of trustees shall notify the commission when the fund balance exceeds $500,000.00, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, upon receiving such notification, the commission shall cease collection of participation fees from postsecondary educational institutions. The commission, upon notification from the board of trustees, shall reestablish collection of participation fees from all participating postsecondary educational institutions at any time the fund balance is less than $475,000.00. At such time, fees shall be collected from participating institu tions according to a schedule adopted by the commission based on gross tuition in amounts sufficient to raise the fund balance to $500,000.00.
(2) Each postsecondary educational institution which is first authorized to operate in this state after July 1, 1992, and is required to participate in the fund for five years of continuous authorized operation under the provisions of paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this Code section shall be required to pay participation fees for such period of time notwithstanding the amount in the tuition guaranty fund. If the balance in the fund exceeds $500,000.00, participation fees shall be collected from each such institu tion according to the fee schedule adopted by the commission pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection.
(3) If earnings from investments, participation fees required under paragraph (2) of this subsection, and claims experience ever cause the balance in the fund to exceed $1,025,000.00, the commission, upon being notified by the board of trustees, shall make a refund to participating postsecondary educational institutions so that the fund balance is reduced to $1 million. Any such refund shall be determined by the commis sion in proportion to the total participation fees paid by a postsecondary educational institution until the time of the refund; provided, however, no reimbursement shall be made to any postsecondary educational institution whose students have been reim bursed from the fund or from bond forfeiture as provided in subsection (g) of this Code section. The commission shall establish by regulation the time and other proce dures and requirements for making any such refund, but refunds shall be issued no more than once during a fiscal year.
(e) The annual cost incurred by the commission and by the board of trustees in administering the Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund, including expenses incurred in collect ing from defaulting postsecondary educational institutions the amounts paid from the fund to or on behalf of students pursuant to the provisions of subsection (g) of this Code section, shall be paid from the fund; provided, however, such annual administra tive costs shall not exceed 2.5 percent of the participation fees collected from postsecondary educational institutions during the fiscal year. The commission shall issue a report annually to each postsecondary educational institution participating in the fund. The report shall provide an evaluation of the financial condition of the fund and a summary of claims paid or other expenditures from the fund during the immediately preceding calendar year.
(f) The commission shall establish by regulation a late payment fee for the failure of a postsecondary educational institution to pay its participation fee at the time estab lished by regulation of the commission for the payment of such fees. An application for authorization to operate or for the renewal thereof may be denied under Code Section 20-3-250.12 for failure to pay participation fees. Late payment fees shall be paid into the fund. Any authorization to operate may be revoked, suspended, or made conditional under Code Section 20-3-250.13 for failure to pay participation fees.
(g) (1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, in the event a postsecondary educational institution participating in the fund goes into bank ruptcy or ceases operations without fulfilling its educational obligations to its students or without reimbursing its students, the board of trustees may reimburse from the fund valid claims of students for tuition paid to that institution in accordance with guidelines and procedures adopted by regulations of the board. If a student who attended the defaulting postsecondary educational institution received financial aid

3920

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

under either a state or federal student loan program, the board shall direct payment to the financial institution or other entity who made the loan to the student, rather than directly to the student. As a condition of receiving reimbursement from the fund, the student and the financial institution or other entity which made the loan to the student shall agree to subrogate their rights of recovery against the defaulting postsecondary educational institution to the board of trustees; provided, however, that if the reimbursement from the fund is insufficient fully to cover the amount due the student or the entity making the loan to the student, then such student or entity shall retain the right of recovery against the defaulting institution for the unreimbursed amount. Payments from the fund shall be made by warrant of the director of the Fis cal Division of the Department of Administrative Services on the order of the board of trustees.
(2) Until surety bonds are no longer required of a participating postsecondary edu cational institution under the provisions of paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this Code section, the reimbursement of tuition to students or to financial institutions or other entities on behalf of students, in the event of the default of the postsecondary educational institution, shall be accomplished by bond forfeiture proceedings and not from the tuition guaranty fund unless the full amount of the bond is paid in reim bursements and such amount is insufficient to cover all reimbursements. If a student, financial institution, or other lending entity is entitled to reimbursement of tuition paid for a term which concluded before the expiration of the surety bond, the reim bursement shall be accomplished by bond forfeiture proceedings and not from the tui tion guaranty fund unless the full amount of the bond is paid in reimbursements and such amount is insufficient to cover all reimbursements.
(3) If the board of trustees pays a claim to or on behalf of a student of a default ing postsecondary educational institution or if such a claim is paid as a result of a bond forfeiture, the authorization to operate of the defaulting postsecondary educa tional institution shall be automatically revoked as of the date of such payment, if the authorization to operate has not been previously revoked by the commission pursuant to other provisions of this part. If a defaulting postsecondary educational institution reimburses the fund for any claims paid on behalf of its students, the commission shall be authorized to issue a new authorization to operate to such postsecondary edu cational institution if the commission finds that the institution is then qualified to operate as a postsecondary educational institution. For two years, such an institution shall provide the surety bond required in Code Section 20-3-250.10 and shall pay par ticipation fees to the tuition guaranty fund as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (d) of this Code section.
(4) If at any time the money available in the tuition guaranty fund is insufficient to satisfy tuition reimbursement claims then pending against the fund, the board of trustees may require each participating postsecondary educational institution to pay a special assessment to the fund. The special assessment shall be in addition to the participation fee provided for in paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of this Code section but shall not exceed either the total amount paid during the immediately preceding calendar year in participation fees or $100,000.00, whichever is greater.

It is declared to be the intention of the General Assembly in enacting this article to provide a method for annexing to municipal corporations areas which meet the legislative standards established by Code Section 86-36-44 36-36-54. This article is not intended to affect or restrict the present authority of the General Assembly

MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1992

3945

to legislate regarding the annexation of any area contiguous to any municipal corpora tion in this state, nor to limit in any way the authority of the General Assembly to pro vide alternative methods for extending municipal boundaries. This article shall not affect legislation pending on July 1, 1970.
36-36-41 36-36-51. It is declared to be the policy in this state: (1) That municipal corporations are created for the purpose of providing local gov
ernmental services and for ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of persons and the protection of property in areas being used primarily for residential, commercial, indus trial, and institutional purposes;
(2) That the orderly growth of municipal corporations, based on the need for municipal services and the ability of the municipal corporation to serve, is essential to the economic progress of the state and to the well-being of its urban citizens;
(3) That the extension of municipal boundaries to accomplish orderly growth should be in accordance with standards established by the General Assembly; and
(4) That any areas included within municipal boundaries under this article should receive all services provided by the annexing municipal corporation as soon as possible after coming within its boundaries. 36-36-42 36-36-52. As used in this article, the term:

(4) No part of the area shall, at the time notice of public hearing is given in accordance with Code Section 36-36-47 36-36-57, be receiving either water service or sewer service, or both, and also either police protection or fire protection from any unit of government other than the municipal corporation proposing annexation. This requirement may be waived by written agreement of the municipal corporation pro posing annexation and of the other unit of government affected. Where a waiver of this requirement is applicable, a copy of the agreement shall be made a part of the report required by Code Section 36 86-46 36-36-56. Where contracts exist between counties and municipal corporations, both government entities must agree by mutual consent prior to annexation.

(e) In fixing new municipal boundaries, a municipal governing body shall, wherever practical, use natural topographic features, such as ridge lines, streams, and creeks, as boundaries. If a street is used as a boundary, the governing body shall, wherever practi
cal, include within the municipal corporation land on both sides of the street; such out side boundary may not extend more than 200 feet beyond the right of way of the street, except to include all of a lot or parcel of land partially within 200 feet of the right of way.
36-36 46 36-36-55. In determining population and degree of land subdivision for pur poses of meeting the requirements of Code Section 36-36-44 36-36-54, the municipal cor poration shall use methods calculated to provide reasonably accurate results. In

A BILL
To amend Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to forest resources, so as to authorize prescribed burning as a resource pro tection and land management tool which benefits the safety of the public, Georgia's forest resources, the environment, and the economy of the state; to provide a short title; to pro vide for legislative findings and purpose; to define certain terms; to provide certain requirements in connection with prescribed burning; to limit liability in connection with prescribed burning except in cases of negligence in starting, controlling, or completing the burn; to prescribe certain duties for the State Forestry Commission; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to forest resources, is amended by adding following Part 5 a new Part 6 to read as follows:

MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1992

3959

"Part 6
12-6-145. This part shall be known and may be cited as the 'Georgia Prescribed Burning Act.'
12-6-146. (a) It is declared by the General Assembly that prescribed burning is a resource protection and land management tool which benefits the safety of the public, Georgia's forest resources, the environment, and the economy of the state. The General Assembly finds that:
(1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally occurring vegetative fuels within forested areas. Reduction of such fuels by burning reduces the risk and severity of major wildfire, thereby lessening the threat of fire and the resulting loss of life and property;
(2) Georgia's ever-increasing population situates urban development directly adja cent to fire prone forest lands. The use of prescribed fire to manage fuels in interface areas would substantially reduce the threat of wildfire in urban communities;
(3) Forest land constitutes significant economic, biological, and aesthetic resources of state-wide importance. Prescribed burning on forest land serves to reduce hazard ous accumulations of fuels, prepare sites for both natural and artificial forest regenera tion, improve wildlife habitat, control insects and disease, and perpetuate fire dependent ecosystems;
(4) State and federally owned public use lands such as state parks, state and national forests, and wildlife refuges receive resource enhancement through use of pre scribed burning;
(5) As Georgia's population continues to grow, pressures from liability issues and smoke nuisance complaints cause prescribed burn practitioners to limit prescribed burn activity, thus reducing the above-mentioned benefits to the state;
(6) Public misunderstanding of the benefit of prescribed burning to the ecological and economic welfare of the state exerts unusual pressures that prevent uninhibited use of this valuable forest resource management tool; and
(7) Fire benefits deer, turkey, quail, and dove by the increased growth and yields of herbs and legumes. It also allows openings for feeding and travel, (b) It is the purpose of this part to authorize and promote the continued use of pre scribed burning for community protection, silvicultural, environmental, and wildlife management purposes. 12-6-147. As used in this part, the term:

(g) The corporation shall bond corporation employees with access to corporation funds or lottery revenue in such an amount as provided by the board and may bond other employees as deemed necessary.
50-27-13. (a) (1) All lottery proceeds shall be the property of the corporation. (2) From its lottery proceeds the corporation shall pay the operating expenses of
the corporation. As nearly as practical, at least 45 percent of the amount of money from the actual sale of lottery tickets or shares shall be made available as prize money; provided, however, that this paragraph shall be deemed not to create any lien, entitlement, cause of action, or other private right, and any rights of holders of tickets or shares shall be determined by the corporation in setting the terms of its lottery or lotteries.
(3) As nearly as practical, for each fiscal year, net proceeds shall equal at least 35 percent of the lottery proceeds. However, for the first two full fiscal years and any partial first fiscal year of the corporation, net proceeds need only equal 30 percent of the proceeds as nearly as practical. (b) (1) On or before the fifteenth day of each quarter, the corporation shall transfer to the general fund of the state treasury, for credit to the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding quarter, the amount of all net proceeds during the preced ing quarter. The director of the Fiscal Division of the Department of Administrative Services shall separately account for net proceeds by establishing and maintaining a Lottery for Education Account within the state treasury.
(2) Upon their deposit into the state treasury, any moneys representing a deposit of net proceeds shall then become the unencumbered property of the State of Georgia and the corporation shall have no power to agree or undertake otherwise. Such mon eys shall be invested by the director in accordance with state investment practices. All earnings attributable to such investments shall likewise be the unencumbered property of the state and shall accrue to the credit of the Lottery for Education Account. (c) (1) In the budget report to the General Assembly, as a separate budget category entitled 'lottery proceeds,' the Governor shall estimate the amount of net proceeds and treasury earnings thereon to be credited to the Lottery for Education Account during the fiscal year and the amount of unappropriated surplus estimated to be accrued in the account at the beginning of the fiscal year. The sum of estimated net proceeds, treasury earnings thereon, and unappropriated surplus shall be designated lottery proceeds.
(2) In the budget report the Governor shall further make specific recommendations as to the education programs and purposes for which appropriations should be made from the Lottery for Education Account. The General Assembly shall appropriate from the Lottery for Education Account by specific reference to it, or by reference to 'lottery proceeds.' All appropriations of lottery proceeds to any particular budget unit shall be made together in a separate part entitled, identified, administered, and accounted for separately as a distinct budget unit for lottery proceeds. Such appropri ations shall otherwise be made in the manner required by law for appropriations.
(3) It is the intent of the General Assembly that appropriations from the Lottery for Education Account shall be for educational purposes and projects only.

Any contract with a vendor who does not comply with such require ments for periodically updating such disclosures during the tenure of contract as may be specified in such contract may be terminated by the corporation.

able financially to comply with the bonding, deposit of securities, or letter of credit requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection. Notwithstanding any other provi sions of this subsection, in order to assure minority participation in major procure ment contracts to the most feasible and practicable extent possible, the chief executive officer is authorized and directed to waive the bonding, deposit of securities, and let ter of credit requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection for a period of five years from the time that a minority business enters into a major procurement contract for any minority business which substantiates financial hardship pursuant to the policies and procedures established by the board.

provide that the period of probation shall not begin until the defendant has completed service of the confinement portion of the sentence. No revocation of any part of a pro

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

December 31, 1992, and each December 31 thereafter, the State Board of Education shall develop performance criteria which shall be used to evaluate proposals submitted by local schools or systems for the determination of exemplary performance at the school site. Such criteria will relate to the overall educational performance of the school in areas related to student outcomes and achievement. Such criteria shall also reflect the six national goals for education which have been adopted under Georgia 2000 and, to the extent feasible, socioeconomic or other demographic factors that may affect student achievement or other outcomes of education. Such criteria shall also reflect school level improvement on identified performance criteria, such as the numbers of remedial, SIA, and Chapter I students that achieved grade level performance.
(b) The state board shall create guidelines for the approval of local school proposals under this program and a system for weighing the various criteria in each school pro posal according to school performance. The performance evaluation system shall be designed to determine the level of improvement achieved by the school based upon those criteria adopted and approved for the school proposal. Local schools which choose to apply for pay-for-performance awards for group productivity shall submit proposals through the local board of education, which must approve the proposals, to the State Board of Education. Such proposals shall be submitted annually and shall identify which of the state-wide performance criteria will be emphasized by the local school for the determination of award eligibility.
(c) The state board shall advise each local board of education as to whether the pro posal submitted by each school applicant meets the guidelines for approval and, conse quently, whether the proposal as submitted is eligible for award consideration. Local schools shall be allowed to modify their initial proposals in order to meet guidelines.
(d) Local school boards shall be informed by the state board of whether or not each school proposal has been approved no later than May 1 of the school year preceding the one for which the proposal was created.
(e) The State Board of Education shall evaluate the performance of all schools sub mitting proposals for a given school year during the summer following that school year, according to the terms of the local school proposal as approved by the state board. The state board shall uniformly apply the criteria for weighing the proposals to the local school proposals, and those schools which are deemed eligible for an award shall be noti fied no later than September 1 of the school year after the one for which the perform ance judged exemplary occurred. The state board may appoint an advisory evaluation team from outside the Department of Education to assist in the development and appli cation of the criteria by which the proposals will be evaluated. Awards shall be made by the State Board of Education to each school through the local board for successful school projects no later than December 1 of the school year after the one for which the
performance judged exemplary occurred. The amount of the awards shall be distributed through local systems to schools judged exemplary by the State Board of Education
according to the number of successful school projects, the size of each school, and the level of funding provided by the General Assembly. The decision of the local school's
certificated personnel, in accordance with a process for decision making specified by the State Board of Education, will determine how the awards are spent or distributed at the
school site. (f) The state board shall specify guidelines to ensure the representation of all
affected school level constituencies in the award distribution process. These guidelines will ensure that the proceeds in whole or in part may be given to faculty members in
the form of bonuses or may be spent for the purpose of providing faculty sabbaticals, for instructional or other equipment, for staff development, for distribution to other
school staff in the form of bonuses, or for any other expenditure deemed appropriate
by the local school's certificated personnel. (g) The State Board of Education shall submit a proposal for funding this pay-for-
performance program for rewarding group productivity each year with its budget request. Awards made under this program are subject to appropriation by the General
Assembly."

(c) Issuance by the authority of one or more series of bonds, notes, or other obliga tions for one or more purposes shall not preclude it from issuing other bonds, notes, or other obligations in connection with the same project or with any other projects, but the proceeding wherein any subsequent bonds, notes, or other obligations shall be issued shall recognize and protect any prior loan agreement, mortgage, deed to secure debt, trust deed, security agreement, or other agreement or instrument made for any prior issue of bonds, notes, or other obligations unless in the resolution authorizing such prior issue the right is expressly reserved to the authority to issue subsequent bonds, notes, or other obligations on a parity with such prior issue.

Any resolution or resolutions authorizing notes of the authority or any issue thereof may contain any provisions which the authority is authorized to include in any resolution or resolutions authorizing bonds of the authority or any issue thereof and which the authority is authorized to include in any bonds. Validations of such bonds shall be a condition precedent to the issuance of such notes, but it shall not be required that such notes be judicially validated. Bond anticipation notes shall not be issued in an amount exceeding the par value of the bonds in anticipation of which they are to be issued.
(e) All bonds issued by the authority under this chapter shall be issued and vali dated under and in accordance with Article 3 of Chapter 82 of Title 36, the 'Revenue Bond Law,' as heretofore and hereafter amended, except as provided in this chapter, provided that notes and other obligations of the authority may be, but shall not be required to be, so validated.

The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered form or both, as the authority may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest.
(g) All bonds shall be signed by the chairman of the authority, and the official seal of the authority shall be affixed thereto and attested by the secretary of the authority, and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the signature or facsimile signature of the chairman of the authority. Any coupon may bear the facsimile signature of such person, and any bond may be signed, sealed, and attested on behalf of the authority by such person as at the actual time of the execution of such bonds shall be duly authorized to hold the proper office although at the date of such bonds such person may not have been so authorized or shall not have held such office. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear on any coupon shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature shall neverthe less be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.

(i) The authority may also provide for the replacement of any bond which becomes mutilated or which is destroyed or lost.
(j) The issuance of any bond, revenue bond, note, or other obligation or the incurring of any debt by the authority must, prior to such occurrence, be approved by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission established by Article VII, Section IV, Par agraph VII of the Constitution of the State of Georgia of 1983 or its successor.

holders of any such bonds, notes, or other obligations shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the state or any county, municipal corporation, or
political subdivision thereof nor to enforce the payment thereof against the state or any such county, municipal corporation, or political subdivision; and all such bonds shall contain recitals on their face covering substantially the foregoing provisions of this Code

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Chapter 9 of Title 34 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to workers' compensation, is amended by striking paragraph (5) of Code Section 34-9-1, relating to definitions, and inserting in its place a new paragraph (5) to read as follows:
"(5) In all cases arising under this chapter, any percentage of disability or bodily loss ratings shall be based upon 'Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment' pub lished by the American Medical Association or any other recognized medical books or

Section 2. Said chapter is further amended by adding immediately following Code Section 34-9-11, relating to the exclusively of rights and remedies granted to employees under said chapter, a new Code Section 34-9-11.1 to read as follows:
"34-9-11.1. (a) When the injury or death for which compensation is payable under this chapter is caused under circumstances creating a legal liability against some person other than the employer, the injured employee or those to whom his right of action sur vives at law may pursue the remedy by proper action in a court of competent jurisdic tion against such other persons, except as precluded by Code Section 34-9-11 or otherwise.
(b) In the event of recovery against such other person as contemplated in subsection (a) of this Code section, and the employer's liability under this chapter has been fully or partially paid, then the employer shall have a subrogation lien, not to exceed the actual amount of compensation paid pursuant to this chapter, against such recovery. The employer may intervene in any action to protect and enforce such lien. However, the employer's recovery under this Code section shall be limited to the recovery of the amount of disability benefits and medical expenses paid under this chapter.
(c) Such action against such other person by the injured employee or those to whom his right of action survives must be instituted in all cases within one year from the date of injury. Failure on the part of the injured employee or those to whom his right of action survives to bring such action within the one-year period shall operate as an assignment to the employer of any cause of action in tort which the injured employee or those to whom his right of action survives may have against any other person for such injury or death, and such employer may enforce same in its name or in the name of the injured employee or in the name or names of those to whom the right of action survives for such employer's benefit. However, the employer may not retain any amount in excess of the limit of recovery allowed under subsection (b) of this Code section, and any net recovery in excess of that limit shall be paid over to the injured employee or those to whom the right of action survives. The employer shall have one year after such assign ment within which to commence the action; provided, however, that if the cause of action described in subsection (a) of this Code section arises in a jurisdiction other than Georgia which has a statute of limitations for personal injury or wrongful death actions greater than the statute of limitations provided in this Code section, then the court hearing the cause of action shall apply the statute of limitation which provides the injured employee or those to whom his right of action survives the greatest amount of time in which to institute an action.
(d) In the event of a recovery from such other person by the injured employee or those to whom such employee's right of action survives by judgment, settlement, or oth erwise, the attorney representing such injured employee or those to whom such employee's right of action survives shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for services; pro vided, however, that if the employer has engaged another attorney to represent the employer in effecting recovery against such other person, then a court of competent jurisdiction shall upon application apportion the reasonable fee between the attorney for the injured employee and the attorney for the employer in proportion to services ren dered. The provisions of Code Sections 15-19-14 and 15-19-15 shall apply."

A workers' compensation insurer shall not be authorized to settle a claim on behalf of its insured employer without giving prior notice to such employer of the terms of the settlement agreement. A copy of any such settlement agreement shall be filed by the employer with the board, and no such settlement shall be binding until approved by the board. Whenever it shall appear to the board, by stip ulation of the parties or otherwise, that there is a bona fide dispute as to facts, the determination of which will materially affect the right of the employee or dependent to recover compensation or the amount of compensation to be recovered, or that there is a genuine dispute as to the applicability of this chapter, and it further appears that the parties have agreed upon a settlement between themselves, which settlement gives due regard and weight to the conflicting evidence available relating to the disputed facts or to the questions as to the applicability of this chapter, then, upon such determination, the board shall approve the settlement and enter an award conforming to the terms thereof even though such settlement may provide for the payment of compensation in a sum or sums less than would be payable if there were no conflict as to the employee's right to recover compensation. When such settlement has been agreed upon and approved by the board, it shall constitute a complete and final disposition of all claims on account of the incident, injury, or injuries referred to therein, and the board shall not be authorized to enter upon any award subsequent to such board approval amend ing, modifying, or changing in any manner the settlement, nor shall the settlement be subject to review by the board under Code Section 34-9-104."
Section 4. Said chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 34-9-16, relating to questions to be settled by the members of the board, in its entirety and inserting in its place a new Code Section 34-9-16 to read as follows:
"34-9-16. All questions arising under this chapter shall be determined by the trial division and the appellate division of the board if the interested parties cannot reach an agreement which is approved by the board."
Section 5. Said chapter is further amended by striking Code Section 34-9-18, relating to the assessment of civil penalties by the board, in its entirety and inserting in its place a new Code Section 34-9-18 to read as follows:

of office. The Lieutenant Governor shall appoint three members of the Senate to serve on the advisory council for terms running concurrently with their terms of office. The chairman of the State Board of Workers' Compensation shall serve as an ex officio mem ber of the advisory council.
(b) The members of the advisory council shall elect a member other than the chair man of the State Board of Workers' Compensation to serve as chairman of the council. The advisory council shall aid the members of the State Board of Workers' Compensa tion in formulating policies and discussing problems related to the administration and operation of this chapter.
(c) The members of the advisory council shall serve without compensation."
Section 7. Said chapter is further amended by striking in its entirety Code Section 34-9-47, relating to appointment and powers of administrative law judges, which reads as follows:
"34-9-47. The board may appoint administrative law judges from time to time as needed to carry out all duties assigned by the board. Administrative law judges shall serve as hearing officers and exercise judicial functions in implementing this chapter and shall have the power to subpoena witnesses and administer oaths and may take testi mony in such cases as the board may deem proper. An administrative law judge so hear ing a case shall make the award just as would a member of the board as provided elsewhere in this chapter, such award to be subject to review and appeal as is the award of a single member of the board. The members of the board or administrative law judges or any one of them may hold such sessions as may be deemed necessary at any place within the state, subject to the other provisions of this chapter. Administrative law judges may be appointed by the board to serve as a member of the board to review cases on appeal; however, not more than one administrative law judge shall serve as a member of the board on any case.

(d) The appellate division and trial division of the board may hold such sessions as may be deemed necessary at any place within the state, subject to other provisions of this chapter."

Not withstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, when requested by the employer any physician who has examined, treated, or tested the employee or consulted about the employee shall provide within a reasonable time and for a reasonable charge all information and records related to the examination, treatment, testing, or consulta tion concerning the employee.

The employer funded portion of the benefits vested under the plan shall be based upon the ratio of the employer's contributions to the total contributions made to the plan. Once the employer funded portion of the plan is established, this sum shall be offset and credited against benefits provided under Code Section 34-9-261 or 34-9-262, provided the plan was funded in part by the same employer from whom such benefits are claimed; and
(5) The full amount of any unemployment benefits the employee has received or is receiving during any period in which benefits under Code Section 34-9-261 or Code Section 34-9-262 are claimed; however, the employer shall place the employment secu rity agency on notice of the employee's workers' compensation claim, and, in the event it is determined that the employee received an overpayment of benefits under the Employment Security Act, then the employment security agency may seek reimburse ment directly from the employer to the extent of the credit taken by the employer under this subsection. (c) The credit or reduction of benefits provided in subsection (b) of this Code section shall only be made for those amounts which the employee is entitled to, has received, or is receiving during any period in which benefits under Code Section 34-9-261 or 34-9-262 are claimed.

(1) An application for a certificate of title for a motor vehicle for which a current Georgia certificate of title is marked 'salvage' pursuant to subsection (e) of Code Sec tion 40-3-36 and which has been repaired;
(2) An application for a certificate of title for a motor vehicle for which a current out-of-state certificate of title is marked 'salvage,' 'rebuilt,' or 'restored,' or any similar such phrase; or
(3) An application for a certificate of title for a motor vehicle for which a current Georgia certificate of title is marked 'salvage' pursuant to subsection (e) of Code Sec tion 40-3-36 and for which the transferee is anyone other than a licensed dealer as defined in Code Section 43-48-2. (b) (1) Upon receipt of an application for a certificate of title on a salvaged or rebuilt motor vehicle, the commissioner shall promptly conduct an initial inspection on each such motor vehicle prior to the issuance of a certificate of title for the motor vehicle. The initial inspection shall include, but shall not be limited to, verification of the vehicle identification number, verification of the bills of sale or title for the major components, verification that the word 'rebuilt' is permanently affixed as required by subsection (d) of this Code section, verification that the vehicle was rebuilt in the State of Georgia, and, if the vehicle has been repaired, verification that the motor vehicle conforms to all safety equipment standards required by law. The commissioner shall be authorized to charge a fee of $50.00 for each initial inspection of each motor vehicle inspected. In the event a third or subsequent reinspection is required for any one motor vehicle under this Code section, the commissioner shall be authorized to charge a fee of $50.00 for the third and each subsequent reinspection. The commis sioner may conduct any such initial inspection and any required reinspections even though the motor vehicle may have been previously inspected under this Code section.
(2) If, upon inspection under paragraph (1) of this subsection, it is determined that the motor vehicle is not in full compliance with the law, the commissioner shall refuse to issue a certificate of title until compliance is reached. (c) All applications submitted pursuant to this Code section shall be accompanied by one or more photographs of the motor vehicle in its wrecked salvaged condition before any repairs have been made to such vehicle, which photographs shall be used by the commissioner in his inspections of the vehicle pursuant to this Code section. (d) (1) (A) Upon inspection under subsection (b) of this Code section, if it is
determined that the motor vehicle has been restored to an operable condition by the replacement of two or more major component parts, a certificate of title may be issued for such motor vehicle which shall contain the word 'rebuilt' on its face in such manner as the commissioner shall prescribe. This requirement will indicate to all subsequent owners of the motor vehicle that such is a rebuilt motor vehicle. If any such inspection determines that the motor vehicle shall require the replacement of two or more major component parts in order to restore the motor vehicle to an operable condition, a certificate of title may be issued for such motor vehicle which shall contain the word 'salvage' on its face in such manner as the commissioner shall prescribe. This requirement will indicate to all subsequent owners of the motor vehicle that such is a salvage motor vehicle.

The word 'rebuilt' shall be affixed in a clear and conspicuous manner to the door post or such other location as the commissioner may prescribe. The word 'rebuilt' shall be stamped on the motor vehicle or shall be stamped on a metal plate which shall be riveted to the motor vehicle or shall be permanently affixed to the motor vehicle in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe. The requirement of this subparagraph shall only apply to motor vehicles restored after November 1, 1982. (2) Upon inspection by the commissioner and compliance with paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Code section, if it is determined that the motor vehicle does not require the replacement of two or more major components or has not had two or more major components changed, a certificate of title may be issued. (e) Any person, firm, or corporation who rebuilds or repairs a motor vehicle whose current certificate of title is marked 'salvage' shall make application for and obtain a certificate of title as provided in this Code section prior to the sale or transfer of said motor vehicle.

"(c) Except for liens and security interests listed on certificates of title for mobile homes, cranes, or vehicles which weigh more than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, which shall be satisfied only in conformity with subsections (a) and (b) of this Code sec tion, any lien or security interest shall be considered satisfied and release shall not be required after ten years from the date of issuance of a title on which such lien or secu rity interest is listed. None of the provisions of this Code section shall preclude the per fection of a new lien or security agreement, or the perfection of an extension of a lien or security agreement beyond a period of ten years, by application for a new certificate of title on which such lien or security agreement is listed. In order to provide for the continuous perfection of a lien or security interest originally entered into for a period of more than ten years for a vehicle other than a motor home, crane, or vehicle which weighs more than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, an application for a second title on which the lien or security interest is listed must be submitted to the commissioner before ten years from the date of the original title on which such lien or security interest is listed. Otherwise the lien or security interest shall be perfected as of the date of receipt of the application by the commissioner."

Such determi nation as to the condition or treatment of the equine shall be made by a licensed vet erinarian employed by the state or federal government following an examination conducted at the request of the Commissioner or his designated agent or any sheriff, deputy sheriff, or other law enforcement officer.
4-13-5. (a) It shall be the duty of any person designated for impounding an equine under Code Section 4-13-4 to make reasonable and proper arrangements to provide the impounded equine with adequate and necessary shelter, food, water, veter inary services, and humane care and to take such actions as to ensure the survival of the equine or the humane euthanasia of the equine and disposal thereof if such actions are necessary. Such arrangements may include, but shall not be limited to, providing shelter and care for the equine at any state, federal, county, municipal, or governmental facility or shelter, contracting with a private individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other entity to provide shelter, food, water, veterinary ser vices, and humane care for a reasonable fee, or allowing a private individual, partner ship, corporation, association, or other entity to provide shelter, food, water, veterinary services, and humane care as a volunteer and at no cost. Any person impounding an equine under this chapter or providing care for an impounded equine shall have a lien on such equine for the reasonable costs of caring for such equine.
(b) The lien acquired under subsection (a) of this Code section may be foreclosed in any court which is competent to hear civil cases, including, but not limited to, mag istrate courts. Liens shall be foreclosed in magistrate courts only when the amount of the lien does not exceed the jurisdictional limits established by law for such courts.
(c) Any person impounding an equine under this chapter is authorized to return the equine to its owner upon payment by the owner of all costs of impoundment and care and upon the entry of a consent order or receiving written assurances:
(1) That such equine will be given humane care, adequate food and water, ade quate shelter, and veterinary services;
(2) That such equine will not be subjected to cruelty; and
(3) That the owner will comply with this chapter.

Such notice shall state the name and address of the person impounding the equine, the location where the equine is being held, and a description of the equine. If the owner of such equine is unknown or cannot be found, service of the notice on the owner shall be obtained by publishing a notice once in a newspaper of general circulation where the equine is impounded.
4-13-7. If the owner of the equine cannot be found, if the owner refuses to enter into a consent order or to provide a written assurance that such equine will be given humane care and adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care, or if the owner fails to comply with this chapter after having entered into a consent order or having given a written assurance on a previous occasion, the Commissioner or his designated agent, the sheriff, any deputy sheriff, or any other law enforcement officer may dis pose of the equine through sale at a public auction or by sealed bids or, if such equine is in a physical condition such that euthanasia is the only reasonable course of action, by humanely disposing of the equine. Prior to disposing of an equine through sale or euthanasia, the Commissioner or his designated agent, the sheriff, any deputy sheriff, or any other law enforcement officer shall make a reasonable effort to locate the owner and, if the owner cannot be located after reasonable effort, the sale or euthanasia may proceed. Any proceeds from the sale of such equine shall be used first to pay the costs of care given the equine and any funds remaining shall be paid into the state treasury if the equine was impounded by the Commissioner or his designated agent or into the county treasury if the equine was impounded by the sheriff, a dep uty sheriff, or other law enforcement officer.

4402

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

4-13-8. In addition to the remedies provided in this chapter or elsewhere in the laws of this state and notwithstanding the existence of an adequate remedy at law, the Commissioner is authorized to apply to the superior courts for an injunction or restraining order. Such courts shall have jurisdiction and for good cause shown shall grant a temporary or permanent injunction or an ex parte or restraining order restraining or enjoining any person, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity from violating and continuing to violate this chapter or any rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter. Such injunction or restraining order shall be issued without bond and may be granted notwithstanding the fact that the violation consti tutes a criminal act and notwithstanding the pendency of any criminal prosecution for the same violation.
4-13-9. The Commissioner is authorized to promulgate and adopt rules and regula tions necessary or appropriate to carry out this chapter.
4-13-10. Any person, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.'".

A BILL
To amend Article 4 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to dangerous instrumentalities and practices, so as to provide for the offense

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1992

4425

of criminal storage of a firearm; to provide for legislative findings and intent; to provide for a short title; to provide definitions; to provide penalties for keeping a loaded firearm within accessibility of a minor who obtains such firearm and causes death or bodily injury; to provide for exceptions; to provide for mitigating factors relative to prosecution; to require a specific warning when firearms are sold or transferred; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 4 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to dangerous instrumentalities and practices, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Part 5 to read as follows:
"Part 5
16-11-170. This part shall be known and may be cited as the 'Firearms Protection for Minors Act.'
16-11-171. (a) The General Assembly finds that a tragically large number of chil dren in Georgia have been accidentally killed or seriously injured by negligently stored firearms. The General Assembly further finds that placing firearms within the reach or easy access of children is dangerously irresponsible, encourages such accidents, and should be prohibited. Therefore, it is the intent of the General Assembly to take legisla tive action that is necessary to protect the safety of our children.
(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that adult citizens of this state retain their constitutional right to keep and bear firearms for hunting and sporting activities, for defense of self, family, home, and business, and as collectibles. Nothing in this part shall be construed to reduce or limit any existing right to purchase and own firearms or to provide authority to any state or local agency to infringe upon the privacy of any family, home, or business, except by lawful warrant.
16-11-172. As used in this part, the term: (1) 'Loaded firearm' means a firearm in which there is an unexpended cartridge
or shell, consisting of a case which holds a charge of powder and a bullet or shot, in or attached in any manner to the firearm, including but not limited to in the firing chamber, magazine, or clip attached to the firearm; except that a muzzleloader shall be deemed to be loaded when it is capped or primed and has a powder charge and ball or shot in the barrel or cylinder.
(2) 'Locked container' means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key, lock, combination lock, or similar locking device; such term shall include the locked utility or glove compartment of a motor vehicle.
(3) 'Locking device' means a device which temporarily prevents a firearm from functioning including, but not limited to, a factory-installed safety mechanism or device.
(4) 'Minor' means any person under the age of 12 years. 16-11-173. Except as provided in Code Section 16-11-174, a person commits the offense of criminal storage of a firearm if he or she intentionally keeps any loaded fire arm on any premise which is under his or her custody or control and he or she knows or that a minor is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of an adult and the minor obtains access to the firearm and thereby causes death or great bodily injury to himself, herself, or any other person. Violation of this subsection shall be pun ishable as a midemeanor. 16-11-174. The provisions of Code Section 16-11-173 shall not apply whenever any of the following occur:
(1) The minor obtains the firearm as a result of an illegal entry to any premises by any person;
(2) The firearm is kept in a locked container or in a location which a reasonable person would believe to be secure;
(3) The firearm is carried on the person or within such a close proximity thereto so that the individual can readily retrieve and use the firearm as if carried on the per son;

4426

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(4) The firearm is equipped with a locking device, which is properly engaged when access thereto is gained by the minor;
(5) The person is a peace officer or a member of the armed forces or National Guard and the minor obtains the firearm during or incidental to the performance of the person's duties;
(6) The minor obtains or obtains and discharges the firearm in a lawful act of selfdefense or defense of another person or persons;
(7) A person who keeps a loaded firearm on any premise which is under his or her custody or control has no reasonable expectation, based on objective facts and circum stances, that a minor is likely to be present on the premise; and
(8) The firearm was obtained by the child from a place where there was no reason able expectation, based on objective facts and circumstances, that a child would have access.
16-11-175. (a) If the person who allegedly violated Code Section 16-11-173 is the parent or guardian of a child who is injured or who dies as the result of an accidental shooting, the district attorney, solicitor or other prosecutor shall consider, among other factors, the impact of the injury or death on the person alleged to have violated Code Section 16-11-173 when deciding whether to prosecute an alleged violation. It is the General Assembly's intent that a parent or guardian of a minor who is injured or who
dies as the result of an accidental shooting shall be prosecuted only in those instances in which the parent or guardian behaved in a grossly negligent manner or where simi larly egregious circumstances exist. This subsection shall not otherwise restrict, in any
manner, the factors that a district attorney, solicitor or other prosecutor may consider when deciding whether to prosecute alleged violations of Code Section 16-11-173.
(b) If the person who allegedly violated Code Section 16-11-173 is the parent or guardian of a minor who is injured or who dies as the result of an accidental shooting,
no arrest of the person for the alleged violation of said Code section shall occur until at least seven days after the date upon which the accidental shooting occurred. In addi
tion to the limitation contained in this subsection, a law enforcement officer shall con
sider the health status of a minor who suffers great bodily injury as the result of an accidental shooting prior to arresting a person for a violation of Code Section 16-11-173
if the person to be arrested is the parent or guardian of the injured minor. The intent of this subsection is to encourage law enforcement officials to delay the arrest of a par
ent or guardian of a seriously injured child while the child remains on life-support equipment or is in a similarly critical medical condition.
(c) (1) The fact that a person who allegedly violated Code Section 16-11-173
attended a firearm safety training course prior to the purchase of the firearm that is obtained by a minor in violation of said Code section shall be considered a mitigating
factor by a district attorney, solicitor or other prosecutor when he or she is deciding whether to prosecute the alleged violation.
(2) In any action or trial commenced under this part, the fact that a person who
allegedly violated this part attended a firearm safety training course prior to the pur chase of the firearm that is obtained by a minor in violation of this part shall be admissible.
16-11-176. (a) Upon the retail commercial sale or retail transfer of any firearm, the seller or transferor shall deliver a written warning to the purchaser or transferee, which
warning shall state, in block letters not less than one-fourth inch in height:
'IF YOU LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR, YOU MAY BE FINED OR IMPRISONED, OR BOTH, IF THE MINOR GAINS ACCESS TO AND IMPROPERLY USES THE FIREARM;
(b) Any retail or wholesale store, shop, or sales outlet which sells firearms shall con spicuously post within the premises the following warning in block letters not less than
three inches in height: 'IF YOU LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY
ACCESS OF A MINOR, YOU MAY BE FINED OR IMPRISONED, OR BOTH, IF THE MINOR GAINS ACCESS TO AND IMPROPERLY USES THE FIREARM.'"

"Section 1. Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to motor vehicles, is amended by striking Code Section 40-2-65, relating to special license plates for members of active reserve components of the United States, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-2-65 to read as follows:

Such license plates shall be issued in compliance with the state motor vehicle laws relating to registration and licensing of motor vehicles as pre scribed in Article 2 of this chapter. No person shall be entitled to more than one free motor vehicle license plate for any calendar year; provided, however, that, upon pay ment of the regular license fee provided for in Code Section 48-10-2 and a manufac turing fee of $25.00, a reservist shall be entitled to receive one additional such license plate. Additional words or symbols in addition to numbers and letters prescribed by law shall be inscribed upon such license plates so as to identify distinctively the owner as a member of the "United States military reserve." The major commanders of each active reserve component program shall furnish to the commissioner each year prior to the date that license plates are issued a list of the members of their command assigned or attached to troop program units who reside in Georgia.

No transfer or cancellation fee shall be charged for the transfer of free reservist license plates. There shall be a transfer and cancel lation fee of $1.00 for the transfer of any other reservist license plate.
(2) Should an active reservist who has been issued a free license plate be dis charged or otherwise separated from his reserve unit, the immediate commanding officer of such active reservist shall obtain the discharged member's free license plate at the time of the discharge and shall forward same to the commissioner along with a certificate to the effect that such person has been discharged, and thereupon the commissioner shall issue a regular license plate, at no additional charge, to such former reservist to replace the reservist plate. Should an active reservist enlist or be commissioned after he has purchased a regular license plate for the current year, the commanding officer of the unit in which such person enlists or is commissioned shall likewise secure the regular license plate of such person and return same to the commissioner, along with a certificate to the effect that such person has been

Therefore, any person who operates a motor vehicle upon the highways or elsewhere throughout this state shall be deemed to have given consent, subject to Code Section 40-6-392, to a chemical test or tests of his blood, breath, er urine2 or other bodily substances; for the purpose of determining the alcoholic er drug content ef his blood presence of alcohol or any other drug, if arrested for any offense arising out of acts alleged to have been committed in violation of Code Section 40-6-391 or if such person is involved in any traffic accident resulting in serious injuries or fatali ties. The test or tests shall be administered at the request of a law enforcement officer having reasonable grounds to believe that the person has been driving or was in actual physical control of a moving motor vehicle upon the highways or elsewhere throughout this state in violation of Code Section 40-6-391. The test or tests shall be administered as soon as possible to any person who operates a motor vehicle upon the highways or elsewhere throughout this state who is involved in any traffic accident resulting in seri ous injuries or fatalities. Subject to Code Section 40-6-392, the requesting law enforce ment officer shall designate which of the aforesaid test or tests shall be administered, provided that both a blood ad urine test with drug screen shall be administered to any person operating a motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident resulting in serious inju ries or fatalities.

has been previously suspended pursuant to Code Sections 40-5-67.1 and 40-5-67.2, shall by operation of law be suspended and such suspension shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(1) Upon the first conviction of any such offense, with no arrest and conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to such offense within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of sus pension shall be for 12 months. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be reinstated if such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays a restoration fee of $86.00 or $26.00 $210.00 or $200.00 when such reinstate ment is processed by mai!2 provided that, if such license was suspended as a result of a conviction of an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54, such license shall be rein
stated if such person submits proof of completion of either a defensive driving pro gram approved by the Department of Public Safety or a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use
Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee. A driver's license suspended as a result of a conviction
of a violation of Code Section 40-6-391 shall not become valid and shall remain sus pended until such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use
Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee. For purposes of this paragraph, an accepted plea of
nolo contendere to an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 by a person who is under 18 years of age at the time of arrest shall constitute a conviction. For the purposes
of this paragraph only, an accepted plea of nolo contendere by a person 18 years of age or older, with no conviction of and no plea of nolo contendere accepted to a
charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo
contendere accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a plea of nolo contend ere is accepted, shall not be considered a conviction; however, the court having juris diction shall forward, as provided in Code Section 40-6-391.1, the record of such
disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety and the record of such dis position shall be kept on file for the purpose of considering and counting such
accepted plea of nolo contendere as a conviction under paragraphs (2) and (3) of this
subsection; (2) Upon the second conviction of any such offense within five years, as measured
from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of suspension shall
be for three years. At the end of 120 days, the person may apply to the Department of Public Safety for reinstatement of his driver's license. Such license shall be rein
stated if such person submits proof of completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays a res toration fee of $36.00 er $26.00 $210.00 or $200.00 when processed by mail, provided

completion of either a defensive driving program approved by the Department of Pub lic Safety or a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program approved by the Department of Human Resources and pays the prescribed restoration fee. For pur
poses of this paragraph, a plea of nolo contendere and all previous accepted pleas of nolo contendere to an offense listed in Code Section 40-5-54 within such five-year
period of time shall constitute a conviction. For the purposes of this paragraph, a plea of nolo contendere to a charge of violating Code Section 40-6-391 and all prior accepted pleas of nolo contendere within five years, as measured from the dates of
previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a plea of nolo contendere is

Such person shall not be eligible for early reinstatement of his driver's license as provided in this Code section or in Article 4 of this chapter and shall not be eligible for a limited driving per mit as provided in Code Section 40-5-64. For purposes of this subsection, an accepted plea of nolo contendere to homicide by vehicle in the first degree or serious injury by vehicle shall constitute a conviction."
Section 3. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 40-5-64, relating to limited driving permits, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-5-64 to read as follows:
"40-5-64. (a) To whom issued. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Code Section 40-5-57 or 40-5-63 or any other Code sections of this chapter, any person may apply for a limited driving permit when and only when that person's driver's license has been suspended in accordance with subsection (d) of Code Section 40-5-57 or paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-63, provided that such person has not had his driver's license suspended under Code Section 40-5-68.
(b) Application form. Applications for limited driving permits shall be made upon such forms as the commissioner may prescribe. Such forms shall require such informa tion as is necessary for the department to determine the need for such permit. All appli cations shall be signed by the applicant before a person authorized to administer oaths.
(c) Standards for approval. The department shall issue a limited driving permit if the application indicates that refusal to issue such permit would cause extreme hardship to the applicant. For the purposes of this Code section, 'extreme hardship' means that the applicant cannot reasonably obtain other transportation, and therefore the applicant would be prohibited from:

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1992

4463

(1) Going to his place of employment or performing the normal duties of his occu pation;
(2) Receiving scheduled medical care or obtaining prescription drugs; (3) Attending a college or school at which he is regularly enrolled as a student; (4) Attending regularly scheduled sessions or meetings of support organizations for persons who have addiction or abuse problems related to alcohol or other drugs, which organizations are recognized by the commissioner; or (5) Attending under court order any driver education or improvement school or alcohol or drug program or course approved by the court which entered the judgment of conviction resulting in suspension of his driver's license or by the commissioner.
(d) Conditions attached. A limited driving permit shall be endorsed with such condi tions as the commissioner deems necessary to ensure that such permit will be used by the permittee only to avoid the conditions of extreme hardship. Such conditions may include the following restrictions:
(1) Specific places between which the permittee may be allowed to operate a motor vehicle;
(2) Routes to be followed by the permittee; (3) Times of travel; (4) The specific vehicles which the permittee may operate; and
(5) Such other restrictions as the department may require. (e) Duration of permit. A permit issued pursuant to this Code section shall be $25.00 and shall be nonrenewable and shall become invalid upon the expiration of one year fol lowing the effective date of suspension of the applicant's driver's license, except that such limited driving permit shall expire upon the earlier reinstatement of the driver's
license. A person convicted of such offense whose driver's license had been surrendered to the court in which such conviction was adjudged may apply to the department for a limited driving permit, immediately following such conviction. Upon the applicant's
execution of an affidavit attesting to such facts and to the fact that the court had not imposed a suspension or revocation of his driver's license or driving privileges inconsist ent with the driving privileges to be conferred by the limited driving permit applied for,
the department may issue such person a limited driving permit. A person convicted of such offense whose driver's license had not been surrendered to such court immediately
following such conviction may apply to the department for a permit. Upon the appli cant's surrender to the department of his driver's license and the execution of a similar affidavit, or if he has lost his driver's license, upon execution of an additional affidavit
to that effect, the department may issue such person a limited driving permit. (f) Liability of issuing officer. No official or employee of the department shall be
criminally or civilly liable or subject to being held in contempt of court for issuing a lim ited driving permit in reliance on the truth of the affidavits required by this Code sec
tion. (g) Revocation of permit. (1) Any permittee who is convicted of violating any
state law or local ordinance relating to the movement of vehicles or any permittee who is convicted of violating the conditions endorsed on his permit shall have his permit
revoked by the department. Any court in which such conviction is had shall require the permittee to surrender the permit to the court, and the court shall forward it to
the department within ten days after the conviction, with a copy of the conviction. (2) Any person whose limited driving permit has been revoked shall not be eligible
to apply for a driver's license until six months from the date such permit was surren dered to the department. The department may impose an additional period of suspen
sion for the conviction upon which revocation of the permit was based, (h) Hearings. Any person whose permit has been revoked, or who has been refused
a permit by the department, may make a request in writing for a hearing to be provided by the department. Such hearing shall be provided by the department within 30 days
after the receipt of such request and shall follow the procedures required by Chapter 13 of Title 50, the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.' Appeal from such hearing
shall be in accordance with said chapter. (i) Rules and regulations. The board may promulgate such rules and regulations as
are necessary to implement this Code section.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(j) Penalty. Any permittee who operates a motor vehicle in violation of any condition specified on the permit shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
Section 4. Said title is further amended by striking subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-66, relating to appeals from the department, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Except as provided in subsection {e} (h) of Code Section 40-6-66 40-5-67.1 and subsection (h) of Code Section 40-5-64, any decision rendered by the department shall be final unless the aggrieved person shall desire an appeal. In such case, such person shall have the right to enter an appeal in the superior court of the county of his resi dence or in the Superior Court of Fulton County. Such appeal shall name the commis sioner as defendant and must be filed within 30 days from the date the department enters its decision or order. The person filing the appeal shall not be required to post any bond nor to pay the costs in advance."
Section 5. Said title is further amended by striking Code Section 40-5-67, relating to seizure and disposition of the driver's license of a person charged with driving under the influence, in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new Code Section 40-5-67 to read as follows:
"40-5-67. (a) Whenever any resident or nonresident person is charged with violating Code Section 40-6-391, the law enforcement officer shall take the driver's license of the person so charged. The driver's license shall be attached to the court's copy of the uni form traffic citation and complaint form and shall be forwarded to the court having jurisdiction of the offense. A copy of the uniform traffic citation and complaint form shall be forwarded, within ten days of issue, to the Department of Public Safety. Taking the driver's license as required in this Code section shall not prohibit any law enforce ment officer or agency from requiring any cash bond authorized by Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 17.
(b) At the time the law enforcement officer takes the driver's license, he shall issue a temporary driving permit to the person; as follows:
(1) If the driver refuses to submit to a test or tests to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs as required in Code Section 40-5-55, the officer shall issue a 20 day temporary driving permit;
(2) If the driver's license is required to be suspended under Code Section 40-5-67.1, the officer shall issue a 20 day temporary driving permit;
(3) If the test or tests administered pursuant to Code Section 40-5-55 indicate a blood alcohol concentration in violation of Code Section 40-6-391 but less than the level for an administrative suspension of the license under subsection (c) of Code Sec tion 40-5-67.1, or if the review of the driver's prior driving record indicates that the driver's license has not been suspended within the previous five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which a suspension was obtained to the date of the current arrest, the officer shall issue a 180 day temporary driving permit. This temporary driving permit shall be valid until the expiration ef 189 days, for the stated period or until the person's driving privilege is suspended or revoked under any provision of this title. The Department of Public Safety, at its sole discretion, may delay the expiration date of the temporary driving permit, but in no event shall this delay extend beyond the date when such person's driving privilege is suspended or revoked under any provision of this title. The department shall by rules and regulations establish the conditions under which the expiration of the temporary permit may be delayed. (c) (1) If the person is convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, the court shall, within ten days, forward the person's driver's license and the record of the disposition of the case to the Department of Public Safety. At this time, the court shall also require the person to surrender the temporary driving permit issued pursuant to sub section (b) of this Code section.
(2) If the person is not convicted of violating Code Section 40-6-391, and the court is in possession of the driver's license, the court shall return the driver's license to the person^ unless WIG person rciiisca TO sutvrifiix to ft Diood flicotioi test tts rGQUipftu uy

(2) If the testing is refused, the person's driver's license or right to drive will be suspended for a period of one year or, if the person is under age 18, for a period of one year or until the age of 18, whichever is greater, or, if the vehicle is a commercial vehicle, the person will be disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle for a minimum period of one year;

The failure of the officer to transmit the sworn report required by this Code section within ten calendar days shall not prevent the Department of Public Safety
from accepting such report and utilizing it in the suspension of a driver's license as
provided in this Code section.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

relating to street gang activity; to provide for construction; to provide for severability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to crimes and offenses, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Chapter 15 to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 15
16-15-1. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.'
16-15-2. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that it is the right of every person regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, or handicap to be secure and protected from fear, intimidation, and physical harm caused by the activi ties of violent groups and individuals. It is not the intent of this chapter to interfere with the exercise of the constitutionally protected rights of freedom of expression and association. The General Assembly recognizes the constitutional right of every citizen to harbor and express beliefs on any lawful subject whatsoever, to associate lawfully with others who share similar beliefs, to petition lawfully constituted authority for a redress of perceived grievances, and to participate in the electoral process.
(b) The General Assembly, however, further finds that the State of Georgia is in a state of crisis which has been caused by violent street gangs whose members threaten, terrorize, and commit a multitude of crimes against the peaceful citizens of their neigh borhoods. These activities, both individually and collectively, present a clear and present danger to public order and safety and are not constitutionally protected.
(c) The General Assembly finds that there are criminal street gangs operating in Georgia and that the number of gang-related murders is increasing. It is the intent of the General Assembly in enacting this chapter to seek the eradication of criminal activ ity by street gangs by focusing upon patterns of criminal gang activity and upon the organized nature of street gangs which together are the chief source of terror created by street gangs.
(d) The General Assembly further finds that an effective means of punishing and deterring the criminal activities of street gangs is through forfeiture of the profits, pro ceeds, and instrumentalities acquired, accumulated, or used by street gangs.
16-15-3. As used in this chapter, the term: (1) 'Criminal street gang' means any ongoing organization, association, or group of
three or more persons, whether formal or informal, having as one of its primary activi ties the commission of one or more of the criminal acts enumerated in subparagraphs (A) through (K) of paragraph (2) of this Code section and which has a common name or common identifying sign or symbol and the members of which, individually or col lectively, engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity.
(2) 'Pattern of criminal gang activity' means the commission, attempted commis sion, or solicitation of two or more of the following offenses, provided at least one of those offenses occurred after July 1, 1992, the last of those offenses occurred within three years after a prior offense, and the offenses are committed on separate occasions or by two or more persons:
(A) Aggravated assault, as defined in Code Section 16-5-21; (B) Aggravated battery, as defined in Code Section 16-5-24; (C) Robbery, as defined in Code Section 16-8-40; (D) Armed robbery, as defined in Code Section 16-8-41; (E) Murder or felony murder, as defined in Code Section 16-5-1; (F) Voluntary manslaughter, as defined in Code Section 16-5-2; (G) Involuntary manslaughter, as defined in Code Section 16-5-3; (H) The unlawful sale, possession for sale, transportation, manufacture, offer for sale, or offer to manufacture a controlled substance in violation of any provision of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of this title, the 'Georgia Controlled Substances Act'; (I) Terroristic threats and acts, as defined in Code Section 16-11-37;

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1992

4553

(J) Arson in the first degree, second degree, or third degree, as defined in Code Section 16-7-60, 16-7-61, or 16-7-62; or
(K) Influencing witnesses, as defined in Code Section 16-10-93. 16-15-4. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section, any person who actively participates in any criminal street gang with knowledge that its members engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity and who willfully promotes, furthers, or assists in any felonious criminal conduct by mem bers of that gang shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection or subsection (c) of this Code section, any person who is convicted of a felony which is committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with any criminal street gang with the specific intent to promote, further, or assist in any criminal conduct by gang members shall, upon conviction of that felony, in addition and consecutive to the punishment prescribed for the felony or attempted felony of which he or she has been convicted, be punished by an additional term of one, two, or three years at the court's discretion. The court shall order the imposition of the middle term of the sentence enhancement unless there are circumstances in aggravation or mitigation. The court shall state the reasons for its choice of sentence enhancements on the record at the time of the sen tencing.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court may strike the additional punishment for the enhancements provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection in an unusual case where the interest of justice would best be served if the court specifies on the record the circumstances indicating that the interest of justice would best be served by such disposition. (c) Any person who violates subsection (b) of this Code section in the commission of a felony punishable by imprisonment for life shall not have the sentence suspended, probated, deferred, or withheld prior to such person serving a minimum of 15 years. 16-15-5. (a) Any person who is convicted of a public offense punishable as a misde meanor which is committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with any criminal street gang shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year, provided that the person's sentence shall not be sus pended, probated, deferred, or withheld prior to such person serving a minimum of 180 days. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court may refuse to impose the minimum jail sentence for misdemeanors as provided in subsection (a) of this Code sec tion in an unusual case where the interests of justice would best be served if the court specifies on the record and circumstances indicating that the interests of justice would best be served by such disposition. 16-15-6. This chapter does not apply to employees engaged in concerted activities for their mutual aid and protection or to the activities of a labor organization or its mem bers or agents. 16-15-7. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent a local governing body from adopting and enforcing ordinances relating to gangs and gang violence which are consistent with this chapter. Where local laws duplicate or supplement the provisions of this chapter, this chapter shall be construed as providing alternative remedies and not as preempting the field."
Section 2. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

/s/ Wayne Garner Senator, 30th District

/s/ Henry Bostick Representative, 138th District

/s/ Ralph David Abernathy, III Representative, 39th District

A BILL
To amend Article 4 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to dangerous instrumentalities and practices, so as to provide for the offense of criminal storage of a firearm; to provide for legislative findings and intent; to provide for a short title; to provide definitions; to provide penalties for keeping a loaded firearm within accessibility of a minor who obtains such firearm and causes death or bodily injury; to provide for exceptions; to provide for mitigating factors relative to prosecution; to require a specific warning when firearms are sold or transferred; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Article 4 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Anno tated, relating to dangerous instrumentalities and practices, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Part 5 to read as follows:
"Part 5
16-11-170. This part shall be known and may be cited as the 'Firearms Protection for Minors Act.'
16-11-171. (a) The General Assembly finds that a tragically large number of chil dren in Georgia have been accidentally killed or seriously injured by negligently stored

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1992

4579

firearms. The General Assembly further finds that placing firearms within the reach or easy access of children is dangerously irresponsible, encourages such accidents, and should be prohibited. Therefore, it is the intent of the General Assembly to take legisla tive action that is necessary to protect the safety of our children.
(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that adult citizens of this state retain their constitutional right to keep and bear firearms for hunting and sporting activities, for defense of self, family, home, and business, and as collectibles. Nothing in this part shall be construed to reduce or limit any existing right to purchase and own firearms or to provide authority to any state or local agency to infringe upon the privacy of any family, home, or business, except by lawful warrant.
16-11-172. As used in this part, the term: (1) 'Loaded firearm' means a firearm in which there is an unexpended cartridge
or shell, consisting of a case which holds a charge of powder and a bullet or shot, in or attached in any manner to the firearm, including but not limited to in the firing chamber, magazine, or clip attached to the firearm; except that a muzzleloader shall be deemed to be loaded when it is capped or primed and has a powder charge and ball or shot in the barrel or cylinder.
(2) 'Locked container' means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key, lock, combination lock, or similar locking device; such term shall include the locked utility or glove compartment of a motor vehicle.
(3) 'Locking device' means a device which temporarily prevents a firearm from functioning including, but not limited to, a factory-installed safety mechanism or device.
(4) 'Minor' means any person under the age of 12 years. 16-11-173. Except as provided in Code Section 16-11-174, a person commits the offense of criminal storage of a firearm if he or she intentionally keeps any loaded fire arm on any premise which is under his or her custody or control and he or she knows or that a minor is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of an adult and the minor obtains access to the firearm and thereby causes death or great bodily injury to himself, herself, or any other person. Violation of this subsection shall be pun ishable as a midemeanor. 16-11-174. The provisions of Code Section 16-11-173 shall not apply whenever any of the following occur:
(1) The minor obtains the firearm as a result of an illegal entry to any premises by any person;
(2) The firearm is kept in a locked container or in a location which a reasonable person would believe to be secure;
(3) The firearm is carried on the person or within such a close proximity thereto so that the individual can readily retrieve and use the firearm as if carried on the per son;
(4) The firearm is equipped with a locking device, which is properly engaged when access thereto is gained by the minor;
(5) The person is a peace officer or a member of the armed forces or National Guard and the minor obtains the firearm during or incidental to the performance of the person's duties;
(6) The minor obtains or obtains and discharges the firearm in a lawful act of selfdefense or defense of another person or persons;
(7) A person who keeps a loaded firearm on any premise which is under his or her custody or control has no reasonable expectation, based on objective facts and circum stances, that a minor is likely to be present on the premise; and
(8) The firearm was obtained by the child from a place where there was no reason able expectation, based on objective facts and circumstances, that a child would have access.
16-11-175. (a) If the person who allegedly violated Code Section 16-11-173 is the parent or guardian of a child who is injured or who dies as the result of an accidental shooting, the district attorney, solicitor or other prosecutor shall consider, among other factors, the impact of the injury or death on the person alleged to have violated Code

4580

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 16-11-173 when deciding whether to prosecute an alleged violation. It is the General Assembly's intent that a parent or guardian of a minor who is injured or who dies as the result of an accidental shooting shall be prosecuted only in those instances in which the parent or guardian behaved in a grossly negligent manner or where simi larly egregious circumstances exist. This subsection shall not otherwise restrict, in any manner, the factors that a district attorney, solicitor or other prosecutor may consider when deciding whether to prosecute alleged violations of Code Section 16-11-173.
(b) If the person who allegedly violated Code Section 16-11-173 is the parent or guardian of a minor who is injured or who dies as the result of an accidental shooting, no arrest of the person for the alleged violation of said Code section shall occur until at least seven days after the date upon which the accidental shooting occurred. In addi tion to the limitation contained in this subsection, a law enforcement officer shall con sider the health status of a minor who suffers great bodily injury as the result of an accidental shooting prior to arresting a person for a violation of Code Section 16-11-173 if the person to be arrested is the parent or guardian of the injured minor. The intent of this subsection is to encourage law enforcement officials to delay the arrest of a par ent or guardian of a seriously injured child while the child remains on life-support equipment or is in a similarly critical medical condition.
(c) (1) The fact that a person who allegedly violated Code Section 16-11-173 attended a firearm safety training course prior to the purchase of the firearm that is obtained by a minor in violation of said Code section shall be considered a mitigating factor by a district attorney, solicitor or other prosecutor when he or she is deciding whether to prosecute the alleged violation.
(2) In any action or trial commenced under this part, the fact that a person who allegedly violated this part attended a firearm safety training course prior to the pur chase of the firearm that is obtained by a minor in violation of this part shall be admissible. 16-11-176. (a) Upon the retail commercial sale or retail transfer of any firearm, the seller or transferor shall deliver a written warning to the purchaser or transferee, which warning shall state, in block letters not less than one-fourth inch in height:
'IF YOU LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR, YOU MAY BE FINED OR IMPRISONED, OR BOTH, IF THE MINOR GAINS ACCESS TO AND IMPROPERLY USES THE FIREARM;
(b) Any retail or wholesale store, shop, or sales outlet which sells firearms shall con spicuously post within the premises the following warning in block letters not less than three inches in height:
'IF YOU LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR, YOU MAY BE FINED OR IMPRISONED, OR BOTH, IF THE MINOR GAINS ACCESS TO AND IMPROPERLY USES THE FIREARM.'"
Section 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
