A RESOLUTION
Urging the Georgia Composite Medical Board to promulgate regulations which establish medically accepted standards of patient care in office based surgery and anesthesia for health care providers licensed by the Georgia Composite Medical Board; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the patients of Georgia rightly desire timely and convenient access to medical care of all types, including the variety of surgical procedures that may reasonably be undertaken in any environment of care; and
WHEREAS, because suitable equipment and technology are available so as to allow the individual practitioner to offer selected procedures or types of care in the practice or office environment, the number of office based surgical procedures will certainly increase; and
WHEREAS, patients reasonably expect that such care is appropriately offered and duly performed in a manner consistent with established standards of patient safety similar to those required in hospital and ambulatory surgery environments; and
WHEREAS, the American Medical Association has developed core principles of office based surgery along with the American College of Surgeons, and other national medical specialty societies have developed consensus documents representing best practices for their members; and
WHEREAS, more than 26 states have, by Act, regulation, or guideline, adopted standards of patient care for office based surgery and anesthesia; and
WHEREAS, Georgia is the only state in the Southeast without office based surgery regulations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body urges the Georgia Composite Medical Board to promulgate regulations

(c) Whenever in opening, extending, or widening any street, avenue, alley, or public place of the city a small parcel or tract of land is cut off or separated by such work from a larger tract or boundary of land owned by the city, the city council may authorize the administrator to sell and convey said cut-off or separated parcel or tract of land to an abutting or adjoining property owner or owners where such sale and conveyance facilitates the enjoyment of the highest and best use of the abutting owner's property. Included in the sales contract shall be a provision for the rights of way of said street, avenue, alley, or public place. Each abutting property owner shall be notified of the availability of the property and given the opportunity to purchase said property under such terms and conditions as set out by ordinance.

Section 52: Leases In accordance with the requirements of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph Ia of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, as amended, there is hereby appropriated payable to each department, agency, or institution of the State sums sufficient to satisfy the payments required to be made in each year, under existing lease contracts between any department, agency, or institution of the State, and any authority created and activated at the time of the effective date of the aforesaid constitutional provision, as amended, or appropriated for the State fiscal year addressed within this Act. 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 53: Budgetary Control and Interpretation The appropriations of State Funds in this Act consist of the amount stated, for each line at the lowest level of detail, associated with the statement of Program Name and Program Purpose. The appropriations of Federal Funds and of Other Funds in this Act consist of the amount stated at the highest or summary level of detail associated with the statement of Program Name and Program Purpose, and the lower levels of detail are for information only. In the preceding sentence, "Federal Funds" means any federal funding source, whether specifically identified or not specifically identified; "Other Funds" means all other fund sources except State Funds and Federal Funds, including in Other Funds without limitation all Intra-State Government Transfers. Regardless of placement on the page, both the highest or summary level of detail and the lower detail of appropriations of Intra-State Government Transfers will be deemed lower levels of detail of Other Funds, and the highest or summary amount will be deemed added to the highest or summary amount of the appropriation of Other Funds for the program.
Program Names appear as underlined captions, and Program Purpose appears immediately below as italicized text. Text within a box is not an appropriation and is for information only. The lowest level of detail for authorizations for general obligation debt in Section 50 are the authorizing paragraphs.
Section 54: Flex Notwithstanding any other statement of purpose, the purpose of each appropriation of federal funds or other funds shall be the stated purpose or any other lawful purpose consistent with the fund source and the general law powers of the budget unit.
In the preceding sentence, "Federal Funds" means any federal funding source, whether specifically identified or not specifically identified; "Other Funds" means all other fund sources except State Funds or Federal Funds, including without limitation, Intra-State Government Transfers. This paragraph does not permit an agency to include within its flex the appropriations for an agency attached to it for administrative purposes.

A BILL

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. Code Section 47-2-125 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to reexamination of persons receiving disability benefits under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, effect of refusal to undergo examination, and effect of ability to engage in gainful employment, is amended by revising subsection (a) as follows:
"(a)(1) Once each year during the first five years following the retirement of a member on a disability retirement allowance and once in every three-year period thereafter, the board of trustees may require a disability beneficiary who has not yet attained retirement age as specified in subsection (a) of Code Section 47-2-110 to undergo a medical examination, such examination to be made at the disability beneficiary's place of residence or other place mutually agreed upon, by a physician or physicians designated by the medical board. The disability beneficiary may request such an examination. Should any disability beneficiary who has not yet attained retirement age refuse to submit to such medical examination, the pension of such disability beneficiary may be discontinued by the board of trustees until the withdrawal of such refusal; and should the refusal continue for one year, all rights of the disability beneficiary in and to a pension may be revoked by the board of trustees. (2) Should the medical board report and certify to the board of trustees that a disability beneficiary is engaged in or is able to engage in a gainful occupation paying more than the difference between the disability beneficiary's retirement allowance and the earnable compensation used to calculate the disability retirement allowance at the

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 2010

time of retirement, the board of trustees may reduce the disability beneficiary's pension to an amount which, together with the disability beneficiary's annuity and the amount earnable by the disability beneficiary, equals the earnable compensation used to calculate the disability retirement allowance at the time of retirement. Should the disability beneficiary's earning capacity be later changed, the amount of the pension may be further modified, provided that the modified pension shall not exceed an amount which, together with the disability beneficiary's annuity and the amount earnable by the disability beneficiary, equals the earnable compensation used to calculate the disability retirement allowance at the time of retirement. (3) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to persons who first or again become members of this retirement system on or after September 1, 2010. For purposes of paragraph (2) of this subsection, the amount earnable by the beneficiary shall include any income payment received from workers' compensation; provided, however, that in the event of a lump sum payment, the monthly disability allowance shall be reduced on an actuarial basis as determined by the actuary of this retirement system."

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.

so as to change the name of the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority to the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority; to provide for related matters; to provide for a contingent effective date; to provide for automatic repeal under certain circumstances; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. Code Section 47-2-318 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to membership in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia of officers and employees of the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, creditable service, and contributions, is amended as follows:
"47-2-318. (a) As used in this Code section, the term:
(1) 'Georgia Environmental Facilities Finance Authority' or 'authority' means the Georgia Environmental Facilities Finance Authority established by Article 1 of Chapter 23 of Title 50, known as the 'Georgia Environmental Facilities Finance Authority Act.' (2) 'Officer or employee' means the executive director of the authority and any other full-time employee of the authority employed pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (5) of subsection (b) of Code Section 50-23-5. (3) 'Proof of prior employment' means pay records, income tax withholding records, or other records of the authority or its predecessor agency which are sufficient to establish to the satisfaction of the board of trustees the prior employment record of an officer or employee of the authority. (4) 'Predecessor agency' means the Georgia Development Authority provided for by Chapter 10 of Title 50. (b) Effective July 1, 1988, or on the date of employment, each officer or employee of the authority shall become a member of the retirement system. (c)(1) This subsection shall apply only to an officer or employee of the authority holding office or employed on July 1, 1988, who, prior to becoming such an officer or employee or an officer or employee of the predecessor agency, had 11 or more years of creditable service under the retirement system for which contributions to the retirement system have not been withdrawn. (2) An officer or employee of the authority who is subject to the provisions of this subsection shall, upon furnishing proof of prior employment to the board of trustees, be eligible to receive creditable service under this retirement system for prior employment as an officer or employee of the authority or its predecessor agency, subject to the requirements of this subsection. Any such officer or employee must pay to the board of trustees the employee contributions, plus accrued regular interest thereon, which would have been paid during the period of prior employment if the officer or employee had been a member of the retirement system during such period. The authority shall be authorized to pay from any funds available to the authority the

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

employer contributions, plus accrued regular interest thereon, which would have been paid during such period of prior employment. For a member claiming creditable service for prior employment under this subsection, the board of trustees shall determine the period of time that the payments to the board of trustees provided for under this subsection will fund as creditable service under the retirement system without creating any additional accrued liability of the retirement system. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection, the amount of creditable service so determined shall be the creditable service to which the member is entitled. (3) The authority shall be authorized to supplement, if necessary, the payments made to the board of trustees under paragraph (2) of this subsection in an amount, as determined by the board of trustees, which will fully fund as creditable service the total amount of prior employment of the officer or employee without creating any additional accrued liability of the retirement system. If such supplement is paid to the board of trustees by the authority, the officer or employee shall receive full creditable service under the retirement system for all prior employment as an officer or employee of the authority. (4) An officer or employee of the authority who is subject to the provisions of this subsection shall have the same membership status under the retirement system which the person had during the person's previous service as a member of the retirement system. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the right of an officer or employee of the authority who is subject to the provisions of this subsection to retain or reestablish creditable service for previous service as a member of the retirement system. (d) Any officer or employee of the authority who was already a member of the retirement system on July 1, 1988, and any member of the retirement system who, without any break in service, becomes an officer or employee of the authority on or after July 1, 1988, shall continue in the same membership status without any interruption in membership service and without the loss of any creditable service. (e) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this Code section, an officer or employee of the authority becoming a member of the retirement system pursuant to the provisions of this Code section shall be subject to the provisions of Code Section 47-2-334.

The authority shall deduct from the salaries payable to such members the additional employee contributions required by this chapter.

Mr. Robbie Rivers Clerk, House of Representatives Room 309 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Mr. Rivers,
As I was looking over my recent voting records, I noticed that I voted incorrectly on an amendment. My family had just called me home thinking that my Grandmother may not make it before I could get there. In my haste I pushed the wrong button. Since that day we stayed close to her and actually lost her on Monday, April 19. I am sorry that I did not catch this sooner; it has been a difficult time.
I would like to formally request a change in the House Journal relating to the vote on HB 903, on April 14, 2010. Senate Amendment #1 which incorporated, Taxation; furnishings for accommodations; authorize, into HB 903. I inadvertently voted YAY and intended to vote NAY on that amendment. I respectfully request that it be officially recorded in the House Journal that I voted NAY on Senate AM #1, which is House Vote # 834.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

school will be located. The local board must by a majority vote approve or deny a petition no later than 60 days after its submission unless the petitioner requests an extension; provided, however, that a denial of a petition by a local board shall not preclude the submission to the local board of a revised petition that addresses deficiencies cited in the denial; and provided, further, that the local board shall not act upon a petition for a conversion charter school, including, but not limited to, a conversion charter for a high school cluster, until such petition:
(1)(A) Has been freely agreed to, by secret ballot, by a majority of the faculty and instructional staff members of the petitioning local school at a public meeting called with two weeks' advance notice for the purpose of deciding whether to submit the petition to the local board for its approval; and (2)(B) Has been freely agreed to, by secret ballot, by a majority of the parents or guardians of students enrolled in the petitioning local school present at a public meeting called with two weeks' advance notice for the purpose of deciding whether to submit the petition to the local board for its approval; or (2) If for a high school cluster, has been approved by a majority of the school councils in the high school cluster and has been freely agreed to, by secret ballot, by at least 60 percent of the combined vote of the faculty and instructional staff members of the high school cluster and the parents or guardians of students who reside in the attendance zone of such high school cluster present at a public meeting called with two weeks' advance notice for the purpose of deciding whether to submit the petition to the local board for its approval. Each school council within the high school cluster shall appoint two representatives to a committee that shall conduct the vote. This subsection shall not apply to a system charter school petitioning to be a conversion charter school."

SECTION 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Chapter 1 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions pertaining to penal institutions, so as to require the Department of Corrections and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to participate in the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Rapid Removal of Eligible Parolees Accepted for Transfer (REPAT) Program or similar federal deportation program; to provide for conditions of parole; to amend Code Section 42-9-43.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to citizenship status of a prisoner and deportation, so as to authorize conditional deportation parole release; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:
A BILL
To amend Chapter 1 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions pertaining to penal institutions, so as to require the Department of Corrections and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles participate in the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Rapid Removal of Eligible Parolees Accepted for Transfer (REPAT) Program or similar federal deportation program; to provide for legislative intent; to provide for definitions; to provide for release on a reprieve; to provide for an expedited procedure for the deportation of certain alien prisoners; to provide for waiver of a violator's extradition; to amend Code Section 42-9-43.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to citizenship status of a prisoner and deportation, so as to authorize conditional deportation parole release; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. It is the intent of the General Assembly to ensure that alien prisoners subject to deportation are not released from prison into the Georgia community. It is further the intent of this legislative body to reduce the costs and expenses of operating state prisons by reducing the number of alien prisoners incarcerated in the Georgia penal system and to expedite the deportation process of such prisoners. Moreover, Georgia should support

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

3511

the rearrest and revocation of parole of any alien prisoner who reenters the United States in violation of a release on a reprieve with a detainer to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The General Assembly intends to require state agencies to take part in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Rapid Removal of Eligible Parolees Accepted for Transfer (REPAT) Program funded and operated by the United States government and take all measures to fully cooperate and communicate with state, local, and federal agencies for the implementation of such program.
SECTION 2. Chapter 1 of Title 42 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relating to penal institutions, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows:
"42-1-11.1. (a) As used in this Code section, the term:
(1) 'Alien prisoner' means a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States who is serving a sentence under the supervision of the department. (2) 'Board' means the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. (3) 'Department' means the Department of Corrections. (4) 'Release on a reprieve' means being released on a reprieve with a detainer to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (b) The department and board shall establish a process and agreements among multiple state, local, and federal agencies for the implementation of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Rapid Removal of Eligible Parolees Accepted for Transfer (REPAT) Program or similar federal program, by whatever name, for the purpose of deporting alien prisoners in the state prison system who are eligible for deportation. (c) The department shall include as a part of the intake process a procedure to identify alien prisoners eligible for deportation. The department shall coordinate with the federal authorities to determine an alien prisoner's immigration status and eligibility for removal. The identity and information regarding alien prisoners eligible for deportation shall be provided expeditiously to the board, and the board shall then consider such alien prisoner for a release on a reprieve. Alien prisoners who would otherwise be ineligible for parole shall not become eligible by reason of eligibility for a release on a reprieve. (d) Upon an alien prisoner's acceptance into the federal deportation program, the board may establish a tentative release month for the alien prisoner to be transferred into federal custody. (e) No tentative parole release month based on a release on a reprieve shall be set until the alien prisoner is otherwise eligible for parole. No tentative parole release month shall be set for any date prior to the effective date of a final deportation removal order. (f) The board shall provide notice and obtain acknowledgment in writing that notice was given to each alien prisoner who is eligible for a release on a reprieve that illegal reentry into the United States shall subject such alien prisoner to being returned to the

3512

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

custody of the department to complete the remainder of his or her court-imposed sentence. Prior to granting a release on a reprieve, the alien prisoner shall make a knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver in writing of all rights of extradition which would challenge the alien prisoner's parole revocation and return the alien prisoner to the department to complete the remainder of his or her sentence in the event such alien prisoner violates a condition of the release on a reprieve. (g) An alien prisoner shall not be eligible for a release on a reprieve if the federal authorities determine that the alien prisoner's removal is not reasonably foreseeable. (h) The department shall maintain exclusive control and responsibility for the custody and transportation of alien prisoners to and from federal facilities."
SECTION 3. Code Section 42-9-43.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to citizenship status of a prisoner and deportation, is amended as follows:
"42-9-43.1. (a) In determining whether to grant parole the board shall be authorized to make inquiry into whether the prisoner is lawfully present in the United States under federal law. (b) If the board determines that the prisoner is not lawfully present in the United States, the board shall be authorized to make inquiry into whether the prisoner would be legally subject to deportation from the United States while on parole. (c) If the board determines that the prisoner would be legally subject to deportation from the United States while on parole, the board may:
(1) Consider the interest of the state in securing certain and complete execution of its judicial sentences in criminal cases; (2) Be authorized to consider Consider the likelihood that deportation may intervene to frustrate that state interest if parole is granted; and (3) Where appropriate, be authorized to decline to grant parole in furtherance of the state interest in certain and complete execution of sentences. (d) Any grant of parole to an alien prisoner, as such term is defined in Code Section 42-1-11.1, who is subject to deportation shall be conditioned upon the deportation of such prisoner pursuant to a final removal order and a further condition that such prisoner abide by the deportation order and all immigration laws of the United States."
SECTION 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
The report of the Committee, which was favorable to the passage of the Bill, by substitute, was agreed to.

This amount shall be the basis for a temporary tax bill to be issued. Such tax bill shall be accompanied by a notice to the taxpayer that the bill is a temporary tax bill pending the outcome of the appeal process. Such notice shall also indicate that upon resolution of the appeal, there may be additional taxes due or a refund issued. (II) If the final determination of the value on appeal is less than the valuation thus used, the taxpayer shall receive a deduction in such taxpayer's taxes for the year in question. Such deduction shall be refunded to the taxpayer and shall include interest on the amount of such deduction at the same rate as specified in Code Section 48-2-35 which shall accrue from November 15 of the taxable year in question or the date the final installment of the tax was due or was paid, whichever is later.

The board must consider the study upon any such request. (9) If at any time during the appeal process to the county board of equalization and after certification by the county board of tax assessors to the county board of equalization, the county board of tax assessors and the taxpayer mutually agree in writing on the fair market value, then the county board of tax assessors, or the county

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

3527

board of equalization, as the case may be, shall enter the agreed amount in all appropriate records as the fair market value of the property under appeal, and the appeal shall be concluded.

A written objection to an assessment of real property received by a county board of tax assessors stating the taxpayer's election to appeal to a hearing officer and showing the location of the real property contained in the assessment notice shall be deemed a notice of appeal by the taxpayer. (5) The county board of tax assessors may for no more than 90 days review the taxpayer's written appeal, and if changes or corrections are made by the county board of tax assessors, the board shall notify the taxpayer in writing of such changes. If within 30 days of the mailing of such notice the taxpayer notifies the county board of tax assessors in writing that such changes or corrections are not acceptable, the county board of tax assessors shall, within 30 days of the date of mailing of such taxpayer's notification, send or deliver the notice of appeal and all necessary papers to the clerk of the superior court. (6) The clerk of superior court shall randomly select from such list a hearing officer who shall have experience or expertise in hearing or appraising the type of property that is the subject of appeal to hear the appeal, unless the taxpayer and the county board of tax assessors mutually agree upon a hearing officer from such list. (7) The hearing officer shall swear in all witnesses, perform the powers, duties, and authority of a county or regional board of equalization, and determine the fair market value of the real property based upon the testimony and evidence presented during the hearing. Any issues other than fair market value and uniformity raised in the appeal shall be preserved for appeal to the superior court. The board of tax assessors shall

3528

have the burden of proving its opinion of value and the validity of its proposed assessment by a preponderance of evidence.

The provisions contained in this paragraph may be waived at any time by written consent of the taxpayer and the county board of tax assessors. (10) Each hearing officer shall be compensated by the county for time expended in considering appeals. The compensation shall be paid at a rate of not less than $25.00 per hour as determined by the county governing authority. Compensation pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid from the county treasury upon certification by the hearing officer of the hours expended in hearing of appeals. The attendance at any training required by the commissioner shall be part of the qualifications of the hearing officer, and any nominal cost of such training shall be paid by the hearing officer. If the clerk of superior court, after diligent search, cannot find a qualified hearing officer who is willing to serve, the clerk of the superior court shall notify the county board of tax assessors in writing. The county board of tax assessors shall then certify the appeal to the county or regional board of equalization. (11) The commissioner shall promulgate rules and regulations for the proper administration of this subsection, including but not limited to a uniform appeal form; qualifications; training, including an eight-hour course on Georgia property law, Georgia evidence law, preponderance of evidence, burden of proof, credibility of the witnesses, and weight of evidence; disqualification questionnaire; selection; removal; and any other matters necessary to the proper administration of this subsection.

A county board of tax assessors shall not appeal a decision of the county board of equalization or arbitrator or board of arbitration hearing officer, as applicable, other than an arbitration pursuant to paragraph (4) of subsection (f) of this Code section changing an assessment by 20 percent or less unless the board of tax assessors gives

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

3529

the county governing authority a written notice of its intention to appeal, and, within ten days of receipt of the notice, the county governing authority by majority vote does not prohibit the appeal. In the case of a joint city-county board of tax assessors, such notice shall be given to the city and county governing authorities, either of which may prohibit the appeal by majority vote within the allowed period of time. (2) An appeal by the taxpayer as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be effected by e-mailing, if the county board of tax assessors has adopted a written policy consenting to electronic service, or by mailing to or filing with the county board of tax assessors a written notice of appeal.

At the time of certification of the appeal, the county board of tax assessors shall serve the taxpayer and his or her attorney of record, if any, with a copy of the notice of appeal and with the civil action file number assigned to the appeal. Such service shall be effected in accordance with subsection (b) of Code Section 911-5. No discovery, motions, or other pleadings may be filed by the county board of tax assessors in the appeal until such service has been made. (3) The appeal shall constitute a de novo action. The board of tax assessors shall have the burden of proving their its opinions of value and the validity of their its proposed assessment by a preponderance of evidence. Upon a failure of the board of tax assessors to meet such burden of proof, the court may, upon motion or sua sponte, authorize the finding that the value asserted by the taxpayer is unreasonable and authorize the determination of the final value of the property.
(4)(A) The appeal shall be heard before a jury at the first term placed on the court's next available jury or bench trial calendar, at the taxpayer's election, following the filing of the appeal unless continued by the court upon a showing of good cause.

Such deduction shall be refunded to the taxpayer and shall include interest on the amount of such deduction at the same rate as specified in Code Section 48-2-35 which shall accrue from November 15 of the taxable year in question or the date the final installment of the tax was due or was paid, whichever is later.

(8) 'Recommending authority' means a county, independent, or area school board of education that exercises the power to cause the levying authority to levy ad valorem taxes to carry out the purposes of such board of education. (9) 'Roll-back rate' means the previous year's millage rate minus the millage equivalent of the total net assessed value added by reassessments:
(A) As calculated and certified to the commissioner by the tax commissioner for county and educational tax purposes; and (B) As calculated by the collecting officer of the municipality for municipal tax purposes. (10) 'Taxing jurisdiction' means all the real property subject to the levy of a specific levying authority or the recommended levy of a specific recommending authority. (11) 'Total net assessed value added by reassessments' means the total net assessed value added to the certified tax digest as a result of revaluation of existing real property that has not been improved since the previous tax digest year. (b) At the time of certification of the digest, the tax receiver or tax commissioner shall also certify to the recommending authority and levying authority of each taxing jurisdiction the total net assessed value added by reassessments contained in the certified tax digest for that tax digest year of the taxing jurisdiction. (c)(1) Whenever a recommending authority or levying authority shall propose to adopt a millage rate which does not exceed the roll-back rate, it shall adopt that millage rate at an advertised public meeting and at a time and place which is convenient to the taxpayers of the taxing jurisdiction, in accordance with the procedures specified under Code Section 48-5-32. (2) In those instances in which the recommending authority or levying authority proposes to establish any a general maintenance and operation millage rate which would require increases beyond the roll-back rate, the recommending authority or levying authority shall advertise its intent to do so and shall conduct at least three public hearings thereon, at least one of which shall commence between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M., inclusive, on a business weekday. The recommending authority or levying authority shall place an advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation serving the residents of the unit of local government and post such

3546

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

advertisement on the website of the recommending or levying authority, which shall read as follows:
'NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The (name of recommending authority or levying authority) has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by (percentage increase over roll-back rate) percent. All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at (place of meeting) on (date and time). Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at (place of meeting) on (date and time).
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of (proposed millage rate) mills, an increase of (millage rate increase above the roll-back rate) mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than (roll-back millage rate) mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of (average home value from previous year's digest rounded to the nearest $25,000.00) is approximately $(increase) and the proposed tax increase for nonhomestead property with a fair market value of (average nonhomestead property value from previous year's digest rounded to nearest $25,000.00) is approximately $(increase).' Simultaneously with this notice the recommending authority or levying authority shall provide a press release to the local media. (3) The advertisement shall appear at least one week prior to each hearing, and shall be prominently displayed, be not less than 30 square inches, and shall not be placed in that section of the newspaper where legal notices appear and shall be posted on the appropriate website at least one week prior to each hearing. In addition to the advertisement specified under this paragraph, the levying or recommending authority may include in the notice reasons or explanations for such tax increase. (4) No recommending authority shall recommend and no levying authority shall levy a millage rate in excess of the proposed millage rate as established pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection without beginning anew the procedures and hearings required by this Code section and those required by Code Section 48-5-32. (5) Any notice or hearing required under this Code section may be combined with any notice or hearing required under Article 1 of Chapter 81 of Title 36 or Code Section 48-5-32. (d) Nothing contained in this Code section shall serve to extend or authorize any millage rate in excess of the maximum millage rate permitted by law or to prevent the reduction of the millage rate. (e) The commissioner shall not accept for review the digest of any county which does not submit simultaneously with such digest evidence of compliance with this Code section by the levying authorities and recommending authorities with the exception of municipal governing authorities. The commissioner shall not accept a digest for review or issue an order authorizing the collection of taxes if the recommending authority or levying authority other than municipal governing authorities has established a millage

rate that is in excess of the correct rollback without complying fully with the procedures required by this Code section. In the event a digest is not accepted for review by the commissioner pursuant to this subsection, it shall be accepted for review upon satisfactory submission by such authorities of such evidence. The levies of each of the levying authorities other than the county governing authority shall be invalid and unenforceable until such time as the provisions of this Code section have been met. (f) The commissioner shall promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the administration of this Code section."
PART XI. SECTION 11-1.
Said title is further amended in Code Section 48-5-304, relating to the approval of tax digests when assessments are in arbitration or on appeal, by revising subsection (a) as follows:
"(a) The commissioner shall not be required to disapprove or withhold approval of the digest of any county solely because appeals have been filed or arbitrations demanded on the assessment of any property or number of properties in the county. In such cases Where appeals have been filed or arbitrations demanded, the assessment or assessments fixed by the board of tax assessors shall be listed together with the return value on the assessments and forwarded in a separate listing to the commissioner at the time the digest is filed for examination and approval. The commissioner shall not approve any digest when the assessed value that is in dispute for any property or properties on appeal or in arbitration exceeds 3 percent of the total assessed value of the total taxable tangible digest of the county for the same year. In any year when a complete revaluation or reappraisal program is implemented, the commissioner shall not approve a digest when 5 percent or more of the property by assessed value in dispute is in arbitration or on appeal and 5 percent or more of the number of properties is in arbitration or on appeal. When the assessed value in dispute on any one appeal or arbitration exceeds 1.5 percent of the total assessed value of the total taxable digest of the county for the same year, such appeal or arbitration may be excluded by the commissioner in making his or her determination of whether the digest may be approved under the limitations of the Code section."
PART XII SECTION 12-1.
Said title is further amended by revising Code Section 48-5-303, relating to correction of mistakes in county tax digests, as follows:
"48-5-303. (a) The county board of tax assessors shall have authority to correct factual errors in the tax digest when discovered within three years and when such corrections are of benefit to the taxpayer. Such corrections, after approval of the county board of tax

3548

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

assessors, shall be communicated to the taxpayer and notice shall be provided to the tax commissioner. (b) If a tax receiver or tax commissioner makes a mistake in his the digest which is not corrected by the county board of tax assessors or county board of equalization, the commissioner, with the sanction of the Governor, shall correct the mistake by making the necessary entries in the digest furnished the commissioner. The commissioner shall notify the county governing authority and the tax collector of the county from which the digest comes of the mistake and correction."

PART XIII SECTION 13-1.

This part and Part VI of this Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. The remaining provisions of this Act shall become effective January 1, 2011.

SECTION 13-2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Code Section 50-17-22 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the State Financing and Investment Commission, so as to provide that the construction division of the commission shall give preference to in-state materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, and laborers when such preference does not impair quality and cost considerations; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

The following Committee substitute was read:
A BILL
To amend Chapter 10 of Title 13 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to contracts for public works, so as to provide certain contractual and purchasing preferences for materials and in letting contracts to materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and laborers who reside within this state; to provide standards for construction projects; to provide a definition; to amend Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to education, so as to provide certain contractual and purchasing preferences for vendors who reside within this state; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. Chapter 10 of Title 13 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to contracts for public works, is amended by adding a new Code section to Part 1 of Article 1, relating to bonds, to read as follows:
"13-10-3. (a) For the purpose of determining residency under this Code section, a Georgia resident business shall include any business that regularly maintains a place from which business is physically conducted in Georgia for at least one year prior to any bid or proposal submitted pursuant to this Code section or a new business that is domiciled in Georgia which regularly maintains a place from which business is physically conducted in Georgia; provided, however, that a place of business shall not include a post office box, site trailer, or temporary structure. (b) Whenever the state contracts for the doing of a public work, materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and laborers resident in the State of Georgia are to be granted the same preference over materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and laborers resident in another state in the same manner, on the same basis, and to the same extent that preference is granted in awarding bids for the same goods or services by such other state to materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and laborers resident in such other state over materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and laborers resident in the State of Georgia. However, these requirements shall in no way impair the ability of the state to compare the quality of materials proposed for purchase and to compare the qualifications, character, responsibility, and fitness of materialmen, contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and laborers proposed for employment in its consideration of the purchase of materials or employment of persons. This subsection shall not apply to transportation projects for which federal aid funds are available.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

(c) All state agencies, authorities, departments, commissions, boards, and similar entities shall adhere to the policies and procedures contained in the State Construction Manual for project management and procurement of, and contracting for, design, construction, and other project related professional services for all state owned buildings in Georgia funded by state bonds or other state revenue. The State Construction Manual shall be jointly edited and posted on a state website by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission and the Board of Regents and shall be updated on a periodic basis to reflect evolving owner needs and industry best practices after consultation with other state agency and industry stakeholders."
SECTION 2. Said chapter is further amended by revising Code Section 13-10-90, relating to definitions relative to security and immigration compliance, by adding a new paragraph to read as follows:
"(2.1) 'Physical performance of services' means the building, altering, repairing, improving, or demolishing of any public structure or building or other public improvements of any kind to public real property, including the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of all or part of a public road."
SECTION 3. Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to education, is amended by revising Code Section 20-2-500, relating to promulgation of rules and regulations by the State Board of Education for contracts or purchases over $100.00, as follows:
"20-2-500. (a) The State Board of Education is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations to regulate contracts or purchases which involve the aggregate sum of $100.00 or more for or on behalf of students of any public elementary or secondary school supported in whole or in part from public funds.
(b)(1) Such rules shall provide that such contracts for or purchases of supplies, materials, equipment, or agricultural products, including but not limited to school buses but not including instructional materials or beverages for immediate consumption, for public elementary and secondary schools supported in whole or in part from public funds shall give preference as far as may be reasonable and practicable to such supplies, materials, equipment, and agricultural products as may be manufactured or produced in this state. Such preference shall not sacrifice quality. (2) Such rules shall provide that, in determining whether such a preference is reasonable in any case where the value of a contract for or purchase of such supplies, materials, equipment, or agricultural products exceeds $100,000.00, the local school district shall consider, among other factors, information submitted by the bidder which may include the bidder's estimate of the multiplier effect on gross state domestic product and the effect on public revenues of the state and the effect on public revenues of political subdivisions resulting from acceptance of a bid or offer to sell Georgia manufactured or produced goods as opposed to out-of-state manufactured

3552

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

or produced goods. Any such estimates shall be in writing. No local school district shall divide a contract or purchase which exceeds $100,000.00 for the purpose of avoiding the requirements of this paragraph. (c) Vendors resident in the State of Georgia are to be granted the same preference over vendors resident in another state in the same manner, on the same basis, and to the same extent that preference is granted in awarding bids for the same goods or services by such other state to vendors resident therein over vendors resident in the State of Georgia. (c)(d) Nothing in this Code section shall negate the requirements of Code Section 50-573."

SECTION 4. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 2010, and shall apply to all contracts which are first advertised or otherwise given public notice on or after that date.

SECTION 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

The following amendment was read:

Representative Rice of the 51st moves to amend SB 447 (LC 28 5245S) by replacing line 51 with the following:

By inserting between lines 51 and 52 the following:

SECTION 2.A Said chapter is further amended by revising subsection (b) of Code Section 13-10-91, relating to the verification of new employee eligibility, applicability, and rules and regulations, as follows:
"(b)(1) No public employer shall enter into a contract pursuant to this chapter for the physical performance of services within this state unless the contractor registers and participates in the federal work authorization program to verify information of all newly hired employees or subcontractors. Before a bid for any such service is considered by a public employer, the bid shall include a signed, notarized affidavit from the contractor attesting to the following:

3556

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(A) The affiant has registered with and is authorized to use the federal work authorization program; (B) The user identification number and date of authorization for the affiant; and (C) The affiant is using and will continue to use the federal work authorization program throughout the contract period. An affidavit required by this subsection shall be considered an open public record once a public employer has entered into a contract for physical performance of services; provided, however, that any information protected from public disclosure by federal law or by Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50 shall be redacted. Affidavits shall be maintained by the public employer for five years from the date of receipt. (2) No contractor or subcontractor who enters a contract pursuant to this chapter with a public employer or a contractor of a public employer shall enter into such a contract or subcontract in connection with the physical performance of services within this state unless the contractor or subcontractor registers and participates in the federal work authorization program to verify information of all newly hired employees. Any employee, contractor, or subcontractor of such contractor or subcontractor shall also be required to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph. (3) Upon contracting with a new subcontractor, a contractor or subcontractor shall, as a condition of any contract or subcontract entered into pursuant to this chapter, provide a public employer with notice of the identity of any and all subsequent subcontractors hired or contracted by that contractor or subcontractor. Such notice shall be provided within five business days of entering into a contract or agreement for hire with any subcontractor. Such notice shall include an affidavit from each subsequent contractor attesting to the subcontractor's name, address, user identification number, and date of authorization to use the federal work authorization program. (4) Contingent upon appropriation or approval of necessary funding and in order to verify compliance with the provisions of this subsection, each year the Commissioner shall conduct no fewer than 100 random audits of public employers and contractors. The results of the audits shall be published on the www.open.georgia.gov website and on the Georgia Department of Labor's website no later than December 31 of each year. The Georgia Department of Labor shall seek funding from the United States Secretary of Labor to the extent such funding is available. (5) Any person who knowingly and willfully makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in an affidavit submitted pursuant to this subsection shall be guilty of a violation of Code Section 16-10-20 and, upon conviction, shall be punished as provided in such Code section. Contractors and subcontractors convicted for false statements based on a violation of this subsection shall be prohibited from bidding on or entering into any public contract for 12 months following such conviction."

The following paragraphs authorizing the issuance of general obligation debt first appeared in the original appropriations act House Bill 119, Act No. 345, Ga. Laws 2009, Volume One, Book Two Appendix, commencing at Page 1 of 330. For some of these paragraphs, the authority they provide to issue debt has either been fully utilized or partially utilized. For those fully utilized, their repetition here is only to prevent an incorrect implication of their repeal by omission and does not indicate new authority. For those partially utilized there is no intent to renew the full authority but only to reflect the continuing power to utilize the remaining authority.

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 54: Flex Notwithstanding any other statement of purpose, the purpose of each appropriation of federal funds or other funds shall be the stated purpose, unless such purpose conflicts with state or federal law. lf the stated purpose conflicts with state or federal law, then the purpose statement shall be construed as any other lawful purpose consistent with the fund source and the general law powers of the budget unit.

However, if the additional authority is used, one or more of the other federal fund appropriations to that agency are reduced in the same total amount, such that the cumulative total in affected appropriations initially stated within the section is not exceeded, except that when an agency receives an appropriation from the category "Total Federal Funds" and such funds are identified "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families" (TANF), the appropriation is the amount stated and the agency may not reduce such funds below the amount stated.

In each case, such appropriation is associated with the immediately preceding program or special project name, number, and statement of program or special project purpose. The program or special project purpose is stated immediately below the program or special project name. For authorizations of general obligation debt in Section 50, the authorizing paragraphs at the end of the section are the lowest level of detail and constitute appropriations in accordance with OCGA 50-8-8(a) and Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph (III)(a)(1) of the Georgia Constitution.

Section 53: Leases In accordance with the requirements of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph Ia of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, as amended, there is hereby appropriated payable to each department, agency, or institution of the State sums sufficient to satisfy the payments required to be made in each year, under existing lease contracts between any department, agency, or institution of the State, and any authority created and activated at the time of the effective date of the aforesaid constitutional provision, as amended, or appropriated for the State fiscal year addressed within this Act. 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 54: Flex Notwithstanding any other statement of purpose, the purpose of each appropriation of federal funds or other funds shall be the stated purpose, unless such purpose conflicts with state or federal law. If the stated purpose conflicts with state or federal law, then the purpose statement shall be construed as any other lawful purpose consistent with the fund source and the general law powers of the budget unit.
When an agency receives appropriations from the category, "Total Federal Funds," for more than one program or special project, the appropriation is the amount stated, and each program or special project shall also be authorized an additional fifty percent (50%) of the stated amount. However, if the additional authority is used, one or more of the other federal fund appropriations to that agency are reduced in the same total amount, such that the cumulative total in affected appropriations initially stated within the section is not exceeded, except that when an agency receives an appropriation from the category "Total Federal Funds" and such funds are identified "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families" (TANF), the appropriation is the amount stated and the agency may not reduce such funds below the amount stated.
Where federal funds received by an agency or other funds received by an agency and not remitted to the general fund of the state treasury are not otherwise restricted by state or federal law, the agency shall use such funds to supplant appropriated state funds in the following order: first, other funds received by the agency, and second, federal funds.
"Federal Funds" means any federal funding source, whether specifically identified or not specifically identified; "Other Funds" means all other fund sources except State Funds or Federal Funds, including without limitation, Intra-State Government Transfers. This section does not permit an agency to include within its flex the appropriations for an agency attached to it for administrative purposes.

Section 55: Budgetary Control and Interpretation The appropriations in this Act consist of the amount stated in the right-most column, for each line at the lowest level of detail for the fund source categories, "Total State Funds" and "Total Federal Funds," under a caption beginning with a program or special project number that has a 100 or a higher number after the decimal and a program or special project name. In each case, such appropriation is associated with the immediately preceding program or special project name, number, and statement of program or special project purpose. The program or special project purpose is stated immediately below the program or special project name. For authorizations for general obligation debt in Section 50, the indented, bold-faced paragraphs following each Bond number are the lowest level of detail and constitute appropriations in accordance with Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph III(a)(1) of the Georgia Constitution. The caption above the Bond number, the light-faced text immediately following the Bond number before the bold-faced text, and the lightfaced after the bold-faced text are information only.
Similarly, text in a group of lines that has a number less than 100 after the decimal (01 through 99) is not part of a statement of purpose but constitutes information as to how the appropriation was derived. Amounts in the columns other than the rightmost column are for informational purposes only. The summary and lowest level of detail for the fund source categories "Total Agency Funds" and "Total Intra-State Governmental Transfers," are for informational purposes only. The blocks of text and numerals immediately following the section header and beginning with the phrases, "Section Total - Continuation" and "Section Totals - Final" are for informational purposes only. Sections 51, 52, 53, and 54 contain, constitute, or amend appropriations.

A RESOLUTION

Dedicating certain portions of the state highway system; and for other purposes.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4539

PART I WHEREAS, the Battle of Chickamauga, named after the Chickamauga Creek which flowed nearby, was fought September 19-20, 1863, and involved more than 150,000 soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies; and
WHEREAS, the landscape of the battle was one where neither army wanted to fight, and the thick forest limited visibility to 150 feet, less than the range of a rifle; cannon were useless, and often the fighting was hand-to-hand; and
WHEREAS, during the battle, soldiers were cared for in the nearby homes and adjacent buildings, with many Union doctors remaining behind to care for the wounded after the Southern victory, and many parched and wounded soldiers of both sides drank from the town's bubbling Crawfish Spring, still active today; and
WHEREAS, the corridor of the highway dedicated in this resolution follows the general route of march for the army that fought in the Battle of Chickamauga; and
WHEREAS, it is only fitting to honor the brave men who fought and died here with a lasting memorial to their sacrifice.
PART II WHEREAS, the Honorable Frank Milton Gleason served with distinction in various leadership roles in Walker and surrounding counties in Northwest Georgia; and
WHEREAS, he was instrumental in establishing several banks in the area, including the Rossville Bank; and
WHEREAS, he also served as the county attorney for Catoosa, Dade, and Walker counties; and
WHEREAS, it is only fitting and proper that Mr. Gleason's accomplishments be publicly recognized.
PART III WHEREAS, the State of Georgia lost one of its most distinguished citizens with the passing of Mr. Eli Robert "E. R." Bates, Jr., on October 28, 2008; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Bates was born in Atlanta, Georgia, a beloved son of the late Robert Bates, Sr., and Lois Hilderbrand Bates; and
WHEREAS, he served as a guardian of this nation's freedom and liberty during World War II, and upon his return home he took over his father's business, Bates Hardware Company, where he worked until his retirement in 1973; and

4540

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

WHEREAS, Mr. Bates was active in his trade, belonging to associations such as the Atlanta Retail Hardware Association and the National Retail Hardware Association, and served as president of the Northside Business Association and the Georgia-Florida Retail Hardware Association; and
WHEREAS, in honor of his 50 years of dedicated service to the hardware industry, Mr. Bates was awarded the prestigious Gold Hammer; and
WHEREAS, he was devoted to his community and served as a civic leader as a member of the Cartersville Chamber of Commerce, the Mason Lodge, the Yaraab Shrine Temple, and the Elks Lodge #1969; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Bates was united in love and marriage for 59 years to his lovely wife Wynell Hogeland Bates, and he was surrounded by the love of his daughter and son-inlaw, Linda and Chuck Walker; his adoring grandchildren, Tony, Kristy, and Christopher; and his delightful great-granddaughters, Kayla and Ashlyn; and
WHEREAS, the devotion, patience, and understanding he demonstrated provided the foundation and framework of success in which all of his family members have developed and flourished; and
WHEREAS, a compassionate and generous man, Mr. Bates will long be remembered for his love of family and friendship, and this loyal husband, father, neighbor, and friend will be missed by all who had the great fortune of knowing him and it is only fitting that a permanent memorial be established in his memory.

Such challenged ballot shall be sealed in double envelopes as provided in Code Section 21-2-384 and, after having the word 'Challenged' and the elector's name written across the back of the elector's ballot outer envelope, the ballot shall be deposited by the person casting such ballot in a secure, sealed ballot box notwithstanding the fact that the polls may have closed prior to the time the registrars make such a determination, provided that the elector proceeds to vote immediately after such determination of the registrars.

However, any elector whose name appears on the inactive list shall be eligible to sign a petition and such petition signature, if valid and regardless of the validity of the petition as a whole, shall be sufficient to return the elector to the official list of electors if the elector still resides at the address listed on the elector's registration records and shall be grounds to proceed under Code Section 21-2-234 to confirm the change of address of the elector if the elector provides a different address from the address which appears on the elector's registration records."

Except as provided in Code Section 21-2-158, each such unopposed candidate shall be deemed to have voted for himself or herself. Where feasible, the superintendent shall provide notice reasonably calculated to inform the affected electorate that no special or general election is to be conducted. The superintendent shall certify such unopposed candidate as elected in the same manner as he or she certifies other candidates as elected pursuant to Code Section 21-2-493."

A BILL
To amend Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions regarding ad valorem taxation of property, so as to revise and change certain provisions regarding ad valorem taxation of forest land conservation use property; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions regarding ad valorem taxation of property, is amended by revising Code Section 48-5-7.7, relating to ad valorem taxation of forest land conservation use property, as follows:

(b) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Contiguous' means real property within a county that abuts, joins, or touches and has the same undivided common ownership. If an applicant's tract is divided by a county boundary, public roadway, public easement, public right of way, natural boundary, land lot line, or railroad track then the applicant has, at the time of the initial application, a one-time election to declare the tract as contiguous irrespective of a county boundary, public roadway, public easement, public right of way, natural boundary, land lot line, or railroad track. (1)(2) 'Forest land conservation use property' means forest land each tract of which consists of more than 200 acres of tangible real property of an owner subject to the following qualifications:
(A) Such property must be owned by an individual or individuals or by any entity registered to do business in this state; (B) Such property excludes the entire value of any residence located on the property; (C) Such property has as its primary use the good faith subsistence or commercial production of trees, timber, or other wood and wood fiber products from or on the land. Such property may, in addition, have one or more of the following secondary uses:
(i) The promotion, preservation, or management of wildlife habitat; (ii) Carbon sequestration in accordance with the Georgia Carbon Sequestration Registry;

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4585

(iii) Mitigation and conservation banking that results in restoration or conservation of wetlands and other natural resources; or (iv) The production and maintenance of ecosystem products and services such as, but not limited to, clean air and water. 'Forest land conservation use property' may include, but not be limited to, land that has been certified as environmentally sensitive property by the Department of Natural Resources or which is managed in accordance with a recognized sustainable forestry certification program such as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Forest Stewardship Council, American Tree Farm Program, or an equivalent sustainable forestry certification program approved by the Georgia Forestry Commission. (2)(3) 'Qualified owner' means any individual or individuals or any entity registered to do business in this state. (3)(4) 'Qualified property' means forest land conservation use property as defined in this subsection. (4)(5) 'Qualifying purpose' means a use that meets the qualifications of subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1)(2) of this subsection. (c) The following additional rules shall apply to the qualification of forest land conservation use property for conservation use assessment: (1) All contiguous forest land conservation use property of an owner within a county for which forest land conservation use assessment is sought under this Code section shall be in a single covenant unless otherwise required under subsection (e) of this Code section; (2) When one-half or more of the area of a single tract of real property is used for the qualifying purpose, then the entirety of such tract shall be considered as used for such qualifying purpose unless some other type of business is being operated on the portion of the tract that is not being used for a qualifying purpose; provided, however, that such other portion must be minimally managed so that it does not contribute significantly to erosion or other environmental or conservation problems or must be used for one or more secondary purposes specified in subparagraph (b)(1)(C) (b)(2)(C) of this Code section. The lease of hunting rights or the use of the property for hunting purposes shall not constitute another type of business. The charging of admission for use of the property for fishing purposes shall not constitute another type of business. The production of pine straw shall not constitute another type of business; and (3) No otherwise qualified forest land conservation use property shall be denied conservation use assessment on the grounds that no soil map is available for the county or counties, if applicable, in which such property is located; provided, however, that if no soil map is available for the county or counties, if applicable, in which such property is located, the board of tax assessors shall use the current soil classification applicable to such property. (d) No property shall qualify for conservation use assessment under this Code section unless and until the qualified owner of such property agrees by covenant with the appropriate taxing authority to maintain the eligible property in forest land conservation

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

use for a period of 15 years beginning on the first day of January of the year in which such property qualifies for such conservation use assessment and ending on the last day of December of the final year of the covenant period. After the qualified owner has applied for and has been allowed conservation use assessment provided for in this Code section, it shall not be necessary to make application thereafter for any year in which the covenant period is in effect and conservation use assessment shall continue to be allowed such qualified owner as specified in this Code section. At least 60 days prior to the expiration date of the covenant, the county board of tax assessors where the property is located shall send by first-class mail written notification of such impending expiration. Upon the expiration of any covenant period, the property shall not qualify for further conservation use assessment under this Code section unless and until the qualified owner of the property has entered into a renewal covenant for an additional period of 15 years; provided, however, that the qualified owner may enter into a renewal contract in the fourteenth year of a covenant period so that the contract is continued without a lapse for an additional 15 years. (e) Subject to the limitations of paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Code section, a qualified owner shall be authorized to enter into more than one covenant under this Code section for forest land conservation use property. Any such qualified property may include a tract or tracts of land which are located in more than one county in which event the owner shall enter into a covenant with each county. In the event a single contiguous tract is required to have separate covenants under this subsection, the total acreage of that single contiguous tract shall be utilized for purposes of determining the 200 acre requirement of this Code section. (f) A qualified owner shall not be authorized to make application for and receive conservation use assessment under this Code section for any property which at the time of such application is receiving preferential assessment under Code Section 48-5-7.1 or current use assessment under Code Section 48-7-7.4 48-5-7.4; provided, however, that if any property is subject to a covenant under either of those Code sections, it may be changed from such covenant and placed under a covenant under this Code section if it is otherwise qualified. Any such change shall terminate the existing covenant and shall not constitute a breach thereof. No property may be changed more than once under this subsection. (g) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection Code section, no property shall maintain its eligibility for conservation use assessment under this Code section unless a valid covenant or covenants, if applicable, remain remains in effect and unless the property is continuously devoted to forest land conservation use during the entire period of the covenant or covenants, if applicable. (h) If any breach of a covenant occurs, the existing covenant shall be terminated and all qualification requirements must be met again before the property shall be eligible for conservation use assessment under this Code section.
(i)(1) If ownership of all or a part of the forest land conservation use property constituting at least 200 acres is acquired during a covenant period by another owner qualified to enter into an original forest land conservation use covenant, then the

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4587

original covenant may be continued only by both such acquiring owner and the transferor for the remainder of the term, in which event no breach of the covenant shall be deemed to have occurred even if the total size of a tract from which the transfer was made is reduced below 200 acres. Following the expiration of the original covenant, no new covenant shall be entered with respect to the tract from which the transfer was made unless such tract exceeds 200 acres. If a breach of the covenant occurs following such transfer by either such acquiring owner or the transferor, the penalty and interest shall apply to the entire tract which was the subject of the original covenant and shall be paid by either the acquiring owner or the transferor, whichever of whom breached the covenant. Following the expiration of such covenant, no new covenant shall be entered with respect to the tract from which the transfer was made unless such tract exceeds 200 acres. (2) If, following such transfer, a breach of the covenant occurs by the acquiring owner, the penalty and interest shall apply to the entire transferred tract and shall be paid by the acquiring owner who breached the covenant. In such case, the covenant shall terminate on such entire transferred tract but shall continue on such entire remaining tract from which the transfer was made and on which the breach did not occur for the remainder of the original covenant. (3) If, following such transfer, a breach of the covenant occurs by the transferring owner, the penalty and interest shall apply to the entire remaining tract from which the transfer was made and shall be paid by the transferring owner who breached the covenant. In such case, the covenant shall terminate on such entire remaining tract from which the transfer was made but shall continue on such entire transferred tract and on which the breach did not occur for the remainder of the original covenant. (j)(1) For the taxable year beginning January 1, 2009, all applications for conservation use assessment under this Code section, including the covenant agreement required under this Code section, shall be filed on or before June 1 of the tax year for which such conservation use assessment is sought, except that in the case of property which is the subject of a reassessment by the board of tax assessors an application for conservation use assessment may be filed in conjunction with or in lieu of an appeal of the reassessment. For each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2010, all applications for conservation use assessment under this Code section, including the Any forest land covenant agreement required under this Code section, shall be filed on or before the last day for filing ad valorem tax returns in the county each county in which the property is located for the tax year for which such forest land conservation use assessment is sought, except that in the case of property which is the subject of a reassessment by the board of tax assessors an application for forest land conservation use assessment may be filed in conjunction with or in lieu of an appeal of the reassessment. An application for continuation of such forest land conservation use assessment upon a change in ownership of all or a part of the qualified property shall be filed on or before the last date for filing tax returns in the year following the year in which the change in ownership occurred.

The clerk of the superior court shall file and index such application covenant in the real property records maintained in the clerk's office. If the application covenant is not so recorded in the real property records, a transferee of the property affected shall not be bound by the covenant or subject to any penalty for its breach. The fee of the clerk of the superior court for recording such applications covenants shall be paid by the qualified owner of the eligible property with the application for forest land conservation use assessment under this Code section and shall be paid to the clerk by the board of tax assessors when the application is filed with the clerk. If the application is denied, the board of tax assessors shall notify the applicant in the same manner that notices of assessment are given pursuant to Code Section 48-5-306 and shall return any filing fees advanced by the owner. Appeals from the denial of an application or covenant by the board of tax assessors shall be made in the same manner that other property tax appeals are made pursuant to Code Section 48-5-311. (2) In the event such application is approved, the qualified owner shall continue to receive annual notification of any change in the forest land fair market value of such property and any appeals with respect to such valuation shall be made in the same manner as other property tax appeals are made pursuant to Code Section 48-5-311. (k) The commissioner shall by regulation provide uniform application and covenant forms to be used in making application for conservation use assessment under this Code section. (l) In the case of an alleged breach of the covenant, the qualified owner shall be notified in writing by the board of tax assessors. The qualified owner shall have a period of 30 days from the date of such notice to cease and desist the activity alleged in the notice to be in breach of the covenant or to remediate or correct the condition or conditions alleged in the notice to be in breach of the covenant. Following a physical inspection of property, the board of tax assessors shall notify the qualified owner that such activity or activities have or have not properly ceased or that the condition or conditions have or have not been remediated or corrected. The qualified owner shall be entitled to appeal the decision of the board of tax assessors and file an appeal disputing the findings of the board of tax assessors. Such appeal shall be conducted in the same manner that other property tax appeals are made pursuant to Code Section 48-5-311.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4589

total amount of taxes which would otherwise have been due under this chapter for each completed or partially completed year of the covenant period; (B) If breached during years six through ten, shall for each covenant year beginning with year one be 2.5 two and one-half times the difference between the total amount of tax paid pursuant to conservation use assessment under this Code section and the total amount of taxes which would otherwise have been due under this chapter for each year or partially completed year of the covenant period; and (C) If breached during years 11 through 15, shall for each covenant year beginning with year one be twice the difference between the total amount of tax paid pursuant to conservation use assessment under this Code section and the total amount of taxes which would otherwise have been due under this chapter for each completed year or partially completed year of the covenant period. (3) Any such penalty shall bear interest at the rate specified in Code Section 48-2-40 from the date the covenant is breached. (4) If ownership of a portion of the land subject to the original covenant constituting at least 200 acres is transferred to another owner qualified to enter into an original forest land conservation use covenant in a bona fide arm's length transaction and breach subsequently occurs, then the penalty shall either be assessed against the entire remaining tract from which the transfer was made or the entire transferred tract, on whichever the breach occurred. The calculation of penalties in paragraph (2) of this subsection shall be used except that the penalty amount resulting from such calculation shall be multiplied by the percentage which represents the acreage of such tract on which the breach occurs to the original covenant acreage. The resulting amount shall be the penalty amount owed by the owner of such tract of land on which the breach occurred. (n) In any case of a breach of the covenant where a penalty under subsection (m) of this Code section is imposed, an amount equal to the amount of reimbursement to each county, municipality, and board of education in each year of the covenant shall be collected under subsection (o) of this Code section and paid over to the commissioner who shall deposit such amount in the general fund. (o) Penalties and interest imposed under this Code section shall constitute a lien against that portion of the property to which the penalty has been applied under subsection (m) of this Code section and shall be collected in the same manner as unpaid ad valorem taxes are collected. Except as provided in subsection (n) of this Code section, such penalties and interest shall be distributed pro rata to each taxing jurisdiction wherein conservation use assessment under this Code section has been granted based upon the total amount by which such conservation use assessment has reduced taxes for each such taxing jurisdiction on the property in question as provided in this Code section. (p) The penalty imposed by subsection (m) of this Code section shall not apply in any case where a covenant is breached solely as a result of: (1) The acquisition of part or all of the property under the power of eminent domain; (2) The sale of part or all of the property to a public or private entity which would have had the authority to acquire the property under the power of eminent domain; or

4590

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(3) The death of an individual qualified owner who was a party to the covenant. (q) The following shall not constitute a breach of a covenant:
(1) Mineral exploration of the property subject to the covenant or the leasing of the property subject to the covenant for purposes of mineral exploration if the primary use of the property continues to be the good faith production from or on the land of timber; (2) Allowing all or part of the property subject to the covenant to lie fallow or idle for purposes of any forestry conservation program, for purposes of any federal agricultural assistance program, or for other agricultural management purposes; (3) Allowing all or part of the property subject to the covenant to lie fallow or idle due to economic or financial hardship if the qualified owner notifies the board of tax assessors on or before the last day for filing a tax return in the county where the land lying fallow or idle is located and if such qualified owner does not allow the land to lie fallow or idle for more than two years of any five-year period;
(4)(A) Any property which is subject to a covenant for forest land conservation use being transferred to a place of religious worship or burial or an institution of purely public charity if such place or institution is qualified to receive the exemption from ad valorem taxation provided for under subsection (a) of Code Section 48-5-41. No qualified owner shall be entitled to transfer more than 25 acres of such person's property in the aggregate under this paragraph. (B) Any property transferred under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall not be used by the transferee for any purpose other than for a purpose which would entitle such property to the applicable exemption from ad valorem taxation provided for under subsection (a) of Code Section 48-5-41 or subsequently transferred until the expiration of the term of the covenant period. Any such use or transfer shall constitute a breach of the covenant; or (5) Leasing a portion of the property subject to the covenant, but in no event more than six acres of every unit of 2,000 acres, for the purpose of placing thereon a cellular telephone transmission tower. Any such portion of such property shall cease to be subject to the covenant as of the date of execution of such lease and shall be subject to ad valorem taxation at fair market value. (r) In the following cases, the penalty specified by subsection (m) of this Code section shall not apply and the penalty imposed shall be the amount by which conservation use assessment has reduced taxes otherwise due for the year in which the covenant is breached, such penalty to bear interest at the rate specified in Code Section 48-2-40 from the date of the breach: (1) Any case in which a covenant is breached solely as a result of the foreclosure of a deed to secure debt or the property is conveyed to the lienholder without compensation and in lieu of foreclosure, if: (A) The deed to secure debt was executed as a part of a bona fide commercial loan transaction in which the grantor of the deed to secure debt received consideration equal in value to the principal amount of the debt secured by the deed to secure debt;

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4591

(B) The loan was made by a person or financial institution who or which is regularly engaged in the business of making loans; and (C) The deed to secure debt was intended by the parties as security for the loan and was not intended for the purpose of carrying out a transfer which would otherwise be subject to the penalty specified by subsection (m) of this Code section; (2) Any case in which a covenant is breached solely as a result of a medically demonstrable illness or disability which renders the qualified owner of the real property physically unable to continue the property in the qualifying use, provided that the board of tax assessors or boards of assessors, if applicable, shall require satisfactory evidence which clearly demonstrates that the breach is the result of a medically demonstrable illness or disability; (3) Any case in which a covenant is breached solely as a result of a qualified owner electing to discontinue the property in its qualifying use, provided such qualified owner has renewed without an intervening lapse at least once the covenant for land conservation use, has reached the age of 65 or older, and has kept the property in the qualifying use under the renewal covenant for at least three years. Such election shall be in writing and shall not become effective until filed with the county board of tax assessors or boards of assessors, if applicable; or (4) Any case in which a covenant is breached solely as a result of a qualified owner electing to discontinue the property in its qualifying use, provided such qualified owner entered into the covenant for forest land conservation use for the first time after reaching the age of 67 and has either owned the property for at least 15 years or inherited the property and has kept the property in the qualifying use under the covenant for at least three years. Such election shall be in writing and shall not become effective until filed with the county board of tax assessors where the property is located. (s) Property which is subject to forest land conservation use assessment under this Code section shall be separately classified from all other property on the tax digest; and such separate classification shall be such as will enable any person examining the tax digest to ascertain readily that the property is subject to conservation use assessment under this Code section. Covenants shall be public records and shall be indexed and maintained in such manner as will allow members of the public to locate readily the covenant affecting any particular property subject to conservation use assessment under this Code section. Based on information submitted by the county boards of tax assessors, the commissioner shall maintain a central registry of conservation use property, indexed by qualified owners. (t) The commissioner shall annually submit a report to the Governor, the Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Agricultural Statistical Service, the Georgia Forestry Commission, the Department of Natural Resources, and the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service and the House Ways and Means, Natural Resources and Environment, and Agriculture and Consumer Affairs committees and the Senate Finance, Natural Resources and Environment, and Agriculture and Consumer Affairs committees and shall make such report available to other members of the General

The report shall also include any other data or facts which the commissioner deems relevant. (u) A public notice containing a brief, factual summary of the provisions of this Code section shall be posted in a prominent location readily viewable by the public in the office of the board of tax assessors and in the office of the tax commissioner of each county in this state. (v) At such time as the property ceases to be eligible for forest land conservation use assessment or when any 15 year covenant period expires and the property does not qualify for further forest land conservation use assessment, the qualified owner of the property shall file an application for release of forest land conservation use treatment with the county board of tax assessors where the property is located who shall approve the release upon verification that all taxes and penalties with respect to the property have been satisfied. After the application for release has been approved by the such board of tax assessors, the board shall file the release in the office of the clerk of the superior court in the county in which the original covenant was filed. The clerk of the superior court shall file and index such release in the real property records maintained in the clerk's office. No fee shall be paid to the clerk of the superior court for recording such release. The commissioner shall by regulation provide uniform release forms. (w) The commissioner shall have the power to make and publish reasonable rules and regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this Code section. Without limiting the commissioner's authority with respect to any other such matters, the commissioner may prescribe soil maps and other appropriate sources of information for documenting eligibility as a forest land conservation use property. The commissioner also may provide that advance notice be given to a qualified owner of the intent of a board of tax assessors to deem a change in use as a breach of a covenant."
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.

/s/ Bobby Franklin Representative, District 43

The following message was received from the Senate through Mr. Ewing, the Secretary thereof:

Mr. Speaker:

The Senate has passed by substitute, by the requisite constitutional majority, the following bill of the House:

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4603

HB 1198. By Representative Manning of the 32nd:

The following Senate substitute was read:
A BILL
To amend Article 6 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the "Quality Basic Education Act," so as to temporarily waive certain expenditure controls relating to funds earned for direct instructional costs, media center costs, staff and professional development costs, and additional days of instruction; to provide for automatic repeal; to temporarily provide for system average maximum class sizes in kindergarten through grade 8; to provide for blanket waivers or variances of class size requirements; to provide for related matters; 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. Article 6 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the "Quality Basic Education Act," is amended by revising Code Section 20-2-167, relating to funding for direct instructional, media center, and staff development costs, by adding a new subsection to read as follows:

4604

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

"(f)(1) For school years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013 only, the expenditure controls contained in subsection (a) of this Code section relating to direct instructional costs, media center costs, and staff and professional development costs shall be waived and shall not apply to nor be enforceable against a local school system. (2) Each local school system shall report to the Department of Education its budgets and expenditures of the funds received pursuant to this Code section as a part of its report in October for the FTE count and on March 15. (3) No penalty shall be applied to a local school system for failure to comply with expenditure controls set out in subsection (a) of this Code section, notwithstanding any law to the contrary, as long as such local school system complies with this subsection. (4) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to repeal any other provision of this Code section or this chapter. (5) This subsection shall be automatically repealed on July 1, 2013."
SECTION 2. Reserved.
SECTION 3. Said article is further amended by revising subsection (i) of Code Section 20-2-182, relating to maximum class size, as follows:
"(i)(1) It is the intent of this paragraph to provide a clear expectation to parents and guardians as to the maximum number of students that may be in their child's classroom in kindergarten through eighth grade. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, for the following regular education programs, the maximum individual class size for mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts classes shall be:
(A) Kindergarten program (without full-time aide)....................................18 (B) Kindergarten program (with full-time aide) .........................................20 (C) Primary grades program (1-3) ..............................................................21 (D) Upper elementary grades program (4-5) .............................................28 (E) Middle grades program (6-8) and middle school program (6-8) as defined in Code Section 20-2-290 ...............................................................28 For school years 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013 only, the system average maximum class size for each instructional program covered under this paragraph shall be the same as the maximum individual class size for each such program, and local boards of education shall be considered in compliance with this paragraph as long as the system average maximum class size is not exceeded; provided, however, that if the State Board of Education approves a blanket waiver or variance pursuant to subsection (h) of Code Section 20-2-244, such maximum individual class sizes shall be the system average maximum class sizes for purposes of this paragraph. (2) The State Board of Education shall adopt for each instructional program authorized pursuant to Part 3 of this article except those programs included in

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4605

paragraph (1) of this subsection the maximum number of students which may be taught by a teacher in an instructional period. For the remedial education, vocational laboratory, alternative education, and early intervention programs, the State Board of Education shall provide for a system average maximum class size that shall not exceed the funding class size by more than 20 percent, unless specifically authorized by the State Board of Education; provided, however, that the system average maximum class size for special education, gifted, and English for speakers of other languages classes shall be set by the State Board of Education. For each instructional program covered under this paragraph, the maximum number of students who may be taught by a teacher in an instructional period shall not exceed the system average maximum class size for the program by more than two students; provided, however, that a system average maximum class size which results in a fractional full-time equivalent shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to general education programs in mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts for grades 9 through 12. Beginning with the 20072008 school year, each local board of education shall be allowed to exceed maximum class sizes set by the state board pursuant to this paragraph for general education programs in mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts for grades 9 through 12 and may establish such maximum class sizes that shall not exceed the funding class size by more than 39 percent and shall annually report to the state board and to each school council in its school system such class sizes established. For a period not to exceed seven years, beginning with the 2000-2001 school year, local school systems shall be allowed to exceed the maximum class sizes set forth in this subsection in a manner consistent with State Board of Education rules and subsection (k) of this Code section, except for those programs included in paragraph (1) of this subsection beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. The State Board of Education shall lower the current maximum class sizes set by state board rules in effect for the 1999-2000 school year, beginning with the 2000-2001 school year, by an amount so that, beginning with the 2007-2008 school year, State Board of Education rules are in compliance with this subsection; provided, however, that this shall not apply to the programs included in paragraph (1) of this subsection beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. (3) The maximum individual class size for the kindergarten and primary grades programs is defined as the number of students in a physical classroom. The maximum individual class size for all other purposes shall be defined as the maximum number of students that may be taught by a teacher in a class segment. Maximum class sizes for the programs covered in paragraph (2) of this subsection that result in a fractional full-time equivalent shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number as needed. (4) The number of students taught by a teacher at any time after the first 15 school days of a school year may not exceed the maximum such number unless authorization for a specific larger number is requested of the state board after the first FTE count of a school year as required in subsection (a) of Code Section 20-2-160. The state board

4606

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

may approve said request only in the limited circumstance where educationally justified and where an act of God or other unforeseen event led to the precipitous rise in enrollment within that school system or led to another occurrence which resulted in the local board's inability to comply with this subsection. The state board shall not reduce class sizes without the authorization of the General Assembly if this reduction necessitates added costs for facilities, personnel, and other program needs. Local boards of education may reduce class sizes, build additional facilities, and provide other resources at local cost if such actions are in the best interest of the local school systems' programs as determined by the local boards of education."
SECTION 4. Said article is further amended by revising Code Section 20-2-184.1, relating to funding for additional days of instruction, as follows:
"20-2-184.1. (a) The program weights for the kindergarten, kindergarten early intervention, primary, primary grades early intervention, upper elementary, upper elementary grades early intervention, middle grades, middle school, and remedial programs and the program weights for the high school programs authorized pursuant to paragraph (4) of subsection (b) of Code Section 20-2-151, when multiplied by the base amount, shall reflect sufficient funds to pay the beginning salaries for instructors needed to provide 20 additional days of instruction for 10 percent of the full-time equivalent count of the respective program. Such funds shall be used for addressing the academic needs of low-performing students with programs including, but not limited to, instructional opportunities for students beyond the regular school day, Saturday classes, intersession classes, and summer school classes. Following the midterm adjustment, the state board shall issue allotment sheets for each local school system. Each local school system shall spend 100 percent of the funds designated for additional days of instruction for such costs at the system level. Up to 15 percent of funds designated for additional days of instruction may be spent for transportation costs incurred for transporting students who are attending the additional classes funded by these designated funds.
(b)(1) For school years 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013 only, the expenditure controls contained in subsection (a) of this Code section relating to additional days of instruction shall be waived and shall not apply to nor be enforceable against a local school system. (2) Each local school system shall report to the Department of Education its budgets and expenditures of the funds received pursuant to this Code section as a part of its report in October for the FTE count and its report on March 15. (3) No penalty shall be applied to a local school system for failure to comply with expenditure controls set out in subsection (a) of this Code section, notwithstanding any law to the contrary, as long as such local school system complies with this subsection.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4607

(4) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to repeal any other provision of this Code section or this chapter. (5) This subsection shall be automatically repealed on July 1, 2013."
SECTION 5. Said article is further amended by revising subsection (g) and adding a new subsection to Code Section 20-2-244, relating to maximum class size, as follows:
"(g) On and after July 1, 2008, except as provided for in subsection (h) of this Code section, the State Board of Education shall not authorize any waivers or variances pursuant to this Code section to any local school system for the following:
(1) Class size requirements in Code Section 20-2-182; provided, however, that the state board shall be authorized to waive class size requirements pursuant to this Code section on and after July 1, 2008, in the event that a local school system can demonstrate a hardship pursuant to a waiver request; (2) Expenditure controls in Code Section 20-2-171 and categorical allotment requirements in Article 6 of this chapter; (3) Certification requirements in Code Section 20-2-200; or (4) Salary schedule requirements in Code Section 20-2-212. A local school system which has received a waiver or variance pursuant to this Code section prior to entering into a contract pursuant to Article 4 of this chapter shall be required to include such waiver or variance in such contract. (h) The State Board of Education shall be authorized to provide a blanket waiver or variance of the class size requirements in Code Section 20-2-182 for all local school systems for a specified school year in the event that a condition of financial exigency occurs, as determined by the state board. For purposes of this subsection, 'financial exigency' means circumstances which cause a shortfall in state appropriations and local revenue for operation of local school systems as compared with projected expenditures over the same period and such shortfall would have a material adverse effect on the operation of public schools. Subsections (c) and (f) of this Code section shall not apply to blanket waivers or variances issued pursuant to this subsection."
SECTION 6. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.
SECTION 7. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
Representative Coleman of the 97th moved that the House agree to the Senate substitute to HB 908.

(1) The allegedly delinquent child, in conduct which would constitute a felony if committed by an adult, caused physical, psychological, or economic injury to the victim; or (2) The allegedly delinquent child, in conduct which would constitute a misdemeanor if committed by an adult, caused serious physical injury or death to the victim. (b) The provisions of subsection (e) of Code Section 17-10-1.1 shall apply to the use and disclosure of the victim impact form. A victim impact statement submitted by a victim shall be attached to the case file and may be used by the district attorney or the

4612

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

judge during any stage of the proceedings against the child involving predisposition, disposition, or determination of restitution. (c) A victim impact statement shall:
(1) Identify the victim of the offense and the perpetrator; (2) Itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of the offense; (3) Identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a result of the offense along with its seriousness and permanence; (4) Describe any change in the victim's personal welfare or familial relationships as a result of the offense; (5) Identify any request for psychological services initiated by the victim or the victim's family as a result of the offense; and (6) Contain any other information related to the impact of the offense upon the victim that the court requires. (d)(c) The victim may complete the victim impact statement form and submit such form to the juvenile court. If the victim is unable to do so because of such victim's mental, emotional, or physical incapacity, or because of such victim's age, the victim's attorney or a family member may complete the victim impact statement form on behalf of the victim. (e)(d) Prior to the imposition of a dispositional order for an allegedly delinquent child, the juvenile court shall permit the victim to address the juvenile court and present any information or opinions that concern the victim or the victim's family, including the impact of the delinquent act on the victim, the harm caused by the allegedly delinquent child and the delinquent act, the need for restitution, or the terms of the disposition order.

It shall be the duty of the juvenile court to advise the victim of the right to address the court prior to the entry of a dispositional order for a delinquent child. The victim shall have the discretion to exercise the right to be present and be heard at the dispositional hearing. If the victim is voluntarily absent from the dispositional hearing, such absence shall constitute a waiver of the rights provided by this subsection. The court shall, in the manner prescribed by rule of court, provide the child with a copy of the victim impact statement within a reasonable time prior to any hearing at which it is to be considered and allow the child to have the opportunity to rebut the victim's written statements. (f)(e) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Code section, no No disposition of the child shall be invalidated because of failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection Code section. This subsection Code section shall not be construed to create any cause of action or any right of appeal on behalf of any person the victim, the state, or the accused; provided, however, that if the court intentionally fails to comply with this Code section, the victim may file a complaint with the Judicial Qualifications Commission."

It shall be the financial responsibility of the correctional institution to provide for the picking up and transportation, under guard, of the inmate to his the inmate's assigned place of detention.

A BILL
To provide for a short title; to amend Code Section 26-2-27.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to testing of specimens from food processing centers, so as to provide the Commissioner of Agriculture with certain authority regarding food safety plans; to mandate certain written safety plans; to provide for civil and criminal penalties; to provide for review of civil penalties; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Sanitary Activity for Food-processing Enterprises (SAFE) Act."
SECTION 2. Code Section 26-2-27.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to written food safety plans, is amended by revising subsection (b) as follows:
"(b)(1)(A) In order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and ensure compliance with this article, the Commissioner shall by rule or regulation establish requirements for regular testing of samples or specimens of foods and ingredients by food processing plants for the presence of poisonous or deleterious substances or other contaminants rendering such foods or ingredients injurious to health. Such rules or regulations shall identify the specific classes or types of food processing plants, foods, ingredients, and poisonous or deleterious substances or other contaminants that shall be subject to such testing requirements and the frequency with which such tests shall be performed by food processing plants. (B) The Commissioner shall also promulgate rules and regulations establishing minimum standards and requirements for a written food safety plan, such as a hazard analysis critical control point plan, that may be submitted by an operator of a food processing plant to document and describe the procedures used at such plant to prevent the presence of hazards such as poisonous or deleterious substances or other contaminants that would render finished foods or finished ingredients as manufactured at such plant injurious to health, including preventive controls,

monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of such controls, and records of corrective actions, including actions taken in response to the presence of known hazards. If an operator of a food processing plant, in its discretion, submits to the department a written food safety plan for such plant and such plan conforms to rules and regulations promulgated for purposes of this subparagraph, then such food processing plant shall comply with the requirements of such written food safety plan, including, but not limited to, any test regimen provided by such plan, in lieu of complying with a test regimen established by rules or regulations promulgated by the Commissioner pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this paragraph.
(C)(i) The Commissioner shall impose a civil penalty for a violation of this subsection. (ii) The department shall adopt rules and regulations establishing a schedule of civil penalties that shall be imposed under this subsection. Civil penalties imposed pursuant to this subsection shall not exceed $5,000.00 for each violation; provided, however, that a food processing plant that knowingly fails to comply with the provisions of subparagraph (B) of this paragraph shall be punished by the imposition of a $7,500.00 civil penalty. In addition to such civil penalty, within 30 days of the determination by the Commissioner that such violation has occurred, such food processing plant shall submit to the Commissioner a written plan pursuant to subparagraph (B) of this paragraph. (iii) For purposes of this subsection, each day a violation continues after the period established for compliance by the Commissioner shall be considered a separate violation. (iv) When a civil penalty is imposed under this subsection, such penalty shall be subject to review in the manner prescribed by Article 1 of Chapter 13 of Title 50, known as the 'Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.' (2) In addition to any regular tests required pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Commissioner may order any food processing plant to have samples or specimens of its foods and ingredients tested for the presence of any poisonous or deleterious substances or other contaminants whenever in his or her determination there are reasonable grounds to suspect that such foods or ingredients may be injurious to health."
SECTION 3. Said Code section is further amended by revising subsections (e) and (f) as follows:
"(e)(1) Whenever any person or firm that operates a food processing plant in this state obtains information from testing of samples or specimens of finished foods or finished food ingredients as manufactured at such food processing plant which, based on a confirmed positive test result, indicates the presence of a substance that would cause a manufactured food bearing or containing the same to be adulterated within the meaning of paragraph (1) of Code Section 26-2-26, such person or firm shall report such test result to the department within 24 hours after obtaining such information.

4630

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(2) Any person who knowingly fails to make the report required by paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The punishment provided for in this subsection shall be supplemental to any other applicable provisions of law. (f) Records of the results of any tests required pursuant to this Code section shall be kept by a food processing plant and made available to the department for inspection for a period of not less than two years from the date the results were reported by the laboratory. Any person who knowingly violates this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The punishment provided for in this subsection shall be supplemental to any other applicable provisions of law."

SECTION 4. Said Code section is further amended by adding a new subsection to read as follows:
"(h) Any person who knowingly introduces into commerce finished foods or finished food ingredients as manufactured at a food processing plant knowing that it contains a substance that would cause a manufactured food bearing or containing the same to be adulterated within the meaning of paragraph (1) of Code Section 26-2-26 shall be guilty of a felony, and, upon conviction, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 20 years, a fine not to exceed $20,000.00, or both. The punishment provided for in this subsection shall be supplemental to any other applicable provisions of law."

SECTION 5. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 6. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

4633

"(8.1) 'Line-make' is a collection of models, series, or groups of motor vehicles manufactured by or for a particular manufacturer, distributor, or importer that are offered for sale, lease, or distribution pursuant to a common brand name or mark; provided, however:
(A) Multiple brand names or marks may constitute a single line-make, but only when included in a common dealer agreement and the manufacturer, distributor, or importer offers such vehicles bearing the multiple names or marks together only, and not separately, to its authorized dealers; and (B) Motor vehicles bearing a common brand name or mark may constitute separate line-makes when pertaining to motor vehicles subject to separate dealer agreements or when such vehicles are intended for different types of use."

"(c) Any provision of any franchise, agreement, waiver, novation, or any other written instrument executed, modified, extended, or renewed after July 1, 1983, which is in violation of any Code section of this article, and any amendments thereto, shall be deemed null and void and without force and effect."

(b) Notwithstanding the terms, provisions, or conditions of any franchise or the terms or provisions of any waiver, good cause shall exist for the purposes of a termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal when there is a failure by the dealer to comply with a provision of the franchise which is both reasonable and of material significance to the franchise relationship, provided the dealer has been notified in writing of the failure within 180 days after the franchisor first acquired knowledge of such failure or after the dealer is given a reasonable opportunity to correct such failure for a period of not less than 180 days. (c) If the failure by the dealer, as defined in subsection (b) of this Code section, relates to the performance of the dealer in sales or service, then good cause shall be defined as the failure of the dealer to comply with reasonable performance criteria established by the franchisor if: in light of existing circumstances, including but not limited to current and forecasted economic conditions, provided the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The dealer was notified by the franchisor in writing of such failure; (2) Said notification stated that notice was provided of failure of performance pursuant to this Code section; and (3) The dealer was afforded a reasonable opportunity, for a period of not less than six months, to comply with such criteria.

(f)(1)(A) Upon the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal of any franchise by the franchisor, the franchisor shall repurchase from the dealer any new and unused undamaged motor vehicles of the current and one year prior model year and any new and unused motor vehicles acquired by the dealer within 12 months of the date of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal so long as such motor vehicles have been acquired from the franchisor or from another dealer of the franchisor same line make in the ordinary course of business prior to receipt of the notice of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal and so long as such motor vehicles have not been altered, damaged, or materially changed while in the dealer's possession. Any new and unused motor vehicle repurchased by the franchisor shall be repurchased at the

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

net cost to the dealer. For purposes of this subparagraph, a motor vehicle shall be considered new and unused if it has less than 500 miles on the odometer and has not been issued a certificate of title. (B) In addition to the motor vehicles repurchased under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the franchisor shall repurchase demonstration motor vehicles of the current model year and demonstration motor vehicles acquired by the dealer within 12 months of the date of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal so long as such motor vehicles have been acquired from the franchisor or from another dealer of the franchisor prior to receipt of the notice of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal and so long as such motor vehicles have not been altered, damaged, or materially changed and so long as such motor vehicles do not have more than 6,000 miles each on their odometers. Any such demonstration motor vehicle shall be repurchased at the net cost to the dealer less an allowance for use equal to the net cost to the dealer times the current mileage divided by 100,000. The franchisor shall repurchase a number of demonstration motor vehicles equal to 10 percent of the number of motor vehicles repurchased under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; however, in no event shall the number of demonstration motor vehicles which the franchisor is required to repurchase ever be less than two or more than 15 motor vehicles. (C) For purposes of this paragraph, a motor vehicle shall not be deemed to have been altered, damaged, or materially changed if it has been provided with original equipment or with nonoriginal equipment which does not alter, damage, or materially change the motor vehicle, such as undercoating, pinstriping, interior conditioning, or paint sealant. (2) Upon the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal of any franchise by the dealer, the franchisor shall repurchase from the dealer any new and unused undamaged motor vehicles, except motorcycles as defined in paragraph (29) of Code Section 40-1-1 and except motor homes as defined in paragraph (31) of Code Section 40-1-1 and except school buses as defined in paragraph (55) of Code Section 40-1-1, of the current and prior model year acquired by the dealer within 12 months prior to the effective date of the termination so long as such motor vehicles have been acquired from the franchisor or from another dealer of the franchisor of the same line-make and in the normal course of business and so long as such motor vehicles have not been altered, damaged, or materially changed while in the dealer's possession. Any new and unused motor vehicle repurchased by the franchisor shall be repurchased at the net cost to the dealer. For purposes of this paragraph, a motor vehicle shall be considered new and unused if it has less than 500 miles on the odometer and has not been issued a certificate of title.

(3)(A) Upon the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal of any franchise by the franchisor or upon the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal of any franchise by

the franchisee, the franchisor shall repurchase, at fair and reasonable compensation, from the dealer the following:
(i) Any unused, undamaged, and unsold parts which have been acquired from the franchisor, provided such parts are currently offered for sale by the franchisor in its current parts catalog and are in salable condition. Such parts shall be repurchased by the franchisor at the current catalog price, less any applicable discount; (ii) Any supplies, equipment, and furnishings, including manufacturer or linemake signs, purchased from the franchisor or its approved source within three years of the date of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal; and (iii) Any special tools purchased from the franchisor within three years of the date of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal or any special tools or other equipment which the franchisor required the dealer to purchase regardless of the time purchased. (B) Except as provided in division (i) of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, fair and reasonable compensation shall be the net acquisition price if the item was acquired in the 12 months preceding the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal; 75 percent of the net acquisition price if the item was acquired between 13 and 24 months preceding the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal; 50 percent of the net acquisition price if the item was acquired between 25 and 36 months preceding the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal; 25 percent of the net acquisition price if the item was acquired between 37 and 60 months preceding the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal; or fair market value if the item was acquired more than 60 months preceding the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal. (4) The repurchase of any item under this subsection shall be accomplished within 60 days of the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal or within 60 days of the receipt of the item by the franchisor, whichever is later in time, provided the dealer has clear title to the inventory and other items or is able to convey such title to the franchisor and does convey or transfer title and possession of the inventory and other items to the franchisor. (5) In the event the franchisor does not pay the dealer the amounts due under this subsection or subsection (g) (h) of this Code section within the time period set forth in this subsection, the franchisor shall, in addition to any amounts due, pay the dealer interest on such amount. This interest shall not begin to accrue until the time for payment has expired. The interest shall be computed monthly on any balance due and the monthly interest rate shall be one-twelfth of the sum of the then current Wall Street Journal Prime Interest Rate and 1 percentage point. (g) If a termination or nonrenewal of a franchise is the result of a bankruptcy filing or reorganization of a franchisor or the sale or other change in the business operation of the franchisor, the franchisor shall be required to pay the fair market value of the franchise as of the date of the notice of termination or nonrenewal or 12 months prior to

4638

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

the date of notice of termination or nonrenewal, whichever is greater. Fair market value shall be the goodwill value of the dealer's franchise in the dealer's community or territory. In addition, if a termination or nonrenewal of a franchise is the result of a bankruptcy filing or reorganization of a franchise or the sale or other change in the business operation of the franchisor, the franchisor shall also be required to reimburse the dealer for the cost of facility upgrades and renovations required by the franchisor within two years prior to termination or nonrenewal. Termination assistance provided for in this subsection shall be in addition to repurchase obligations otherwise set forth in this Code section. (g)(h) Within 60 days of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal of any franchise by the franchisor, the franchisor shall commence to reimburse the dealer for one year of the dealer's reasonable cost to rent or lease the dealership's facility or location or for the unexpired term of the lease or rental period, whichever is less, or, if the dealer owns the facility or location, for the equivalent of one year of the reasonable rental value of the facilities or location. If more than one franchise is being terminated, canceled, or not renewed, the reimbursement shall be prorated equally among the different franchisors. However, if a franchise is terminated, canceled, or not renewed but the dealer continues in business at the same location under a different franchise agreement, the reimbursement required by this subsection shall not be required to be paid. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply if the dealer is convicted of any criminal offense which conviction is cause of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal. In addition, any reimbursement due under this subsection shall be reduced by any amount received by the dealer by virtue of the dealer leasing, subleasing, or selling the facilities or location during the year immediately following the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal. If reimbursement is made under this subsection, the franchisor is entitled to possession and use of the facilities or location for the period covered by such reimbursement. (h)(i) If, in an action for damages under this Code section, the franchisor fails to prove that there was good cause for the franchise termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, then the franchisor may pay the dealer an amount equal to the value of the dealership as an ongoing business, at which time the franchisor shall receive any title to the dealership facilities which the dealer may have and the franchisee shall surrender his franchise agreement to the franchisor. If the dealer receives an amount equal to the value as an ongoing business, the dealer shall have no other recovery from the franchisor absent a showing such as would warrant punitive damages under Code Section 10-1-623. (i)(j) Without limitation as to factors which may constitute or indicate a lack of good cause, no termination shall be considered to be for good cause:
(1) If such termination relates to the death or disability of an owner and the franchisor has not complied with Code Section 10-1-652; or (2) If such termination relates to a change in ownership or management and the franchisor has not complied with Code Section 10-1-653.

(j)(k) All procedures, protections, and remedies afforded to a motor vehicle dealer under this Code section shall be available to a motor vehicle distributor whose distributor agreement is terminated, canceled, not renewed, modified, or replaced by a manufacturer or an importer."
SECTION 8. Said article is further amended by revising Code Section 10-1-661, relating to delivery of motor vehicles and modification of dealership facilities, as follows:
"10-1-661. (a) For purposes of this Code section, the term 'coerce' means to compel or attempt to compel by threat or use of force or to fail to act in good faith in performing or complying with any term or provision of a franchise or dealer agreement. (a)(b) No franchisor shall require, attempt to require, coerce, or attempt to coerce any dealer in this state:
(1) To order or accept delivery of any new motor vehicle, part, or accessory thereof, equipment, or any other commodity not required by law which shall not have been voluntarily ordered by the dealer, except that this paragraph does not affect any terms or provisions of a franchise requiring dealers to market a representative line of those motor vehicles which the franchisor is publicly advertising; (2) To order or accept delivery of any new motor vehicle with special features, accessories, or equipment not included in the list price of such new motor vehicle as publicly advertised by the franchisor; (3) To refrain from participation in the management of, investment in, or the acquisition of any other line of new motor vehicle or related products. However, this paragraph does not apply unless the dealer maintains a reasonable line of credit for each make or line of new motor vehicle, the dealer remains in compliance with any reasonable facilities requirements of the franchisor, the dealer provides acceptable sales performance, and no change is made in the principal management of the dealer; (4) To expand, construct, or significantly modify facilities without assurances that the franchisor will provide a reasonable supply of new motor vehicles within a reasonable time so as to justify such an expansion in light of the market and economic conditions; (5) To sell, assign, or transfer any retail installment sales contract obtained by such dealer in connection with the sale by such dealer in this state of new motor vehicles to a specified finance company or class of such companies or to any other specified persons; (6) To provide warranty or other services for the account of franchisor, except as provided in Part 3 of this article, the 'Motor Vehicle Warranty Practices Act'; or (7) To acquire any line make of motor vehicle or to give up, sell, or transfer any line make of motor vehicle which has been acquired in accordance with this article once such dealer has notified the franchisor that it does not desire to acquire, give up, sell, or transfer such line make or to retaliate or take any adverse action against a dealer based on such desire; or

4640

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(8) To construct, renovate, or maintain exclusive facilities, personnel, or showroom area dedicated to a particular line make if the imposition of such a requirement would be unreasonable in light of the existing circumstances, including the franchisor's reasonable business considerations, present economic and market conditions, and forecasts for future economic and market conditions in the dealer's retail territory. The franchisor shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that its demand for exclusivity is justified by reasonable business considerations and reasonable in light of the dealer's circumstances, but this provision shall not apply to a voluntary agreement when separate and adequate consideration was offered and accepted, provided that the renewal of a franchise agreement shall not by itself constitute separate and adequate consideration. The franchisor shall have the burden of proof to show that the dealer has entered into a voluntary, noncoerced agreement regarding exclusivity. (b) No action shall in any way be based on this Code section with respect to acts occurring prior to July 1, 1983."
SECTION 9. Said article is further amended by revising Code Section 10-1-662, relating to unlawful activities of motor vehicle franchisors, as follows:
"10-1-662. (a) It shall be unlawful for any franchisor:
(1) To delay, refuse, or fail to deliver new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle parts or accessories in a reasonable time and in reasonable quantity if such vehicles, parts, or accessories are publicly advertised as being available for immediate delivery. This paragraph is not violated, however, if such failure is caused by acts or causes beyond the control of the franchisor; (2) To obtain money, goods, services, or any other benefit from any other person with whom the dealer does business, on account of, or in relation to, the transaction between the dealer and such other person, other than as compensation for services rendered, unless such benefit is promptly accounted for and transmitted to the dealer; (3) To release to any outside party, except under subpoena or as otherwise required by law or in an administrative, judicial, or arbitration proceeding involving the franchisor or dealer, any business, financial, or personal information which may be from time to time provided by the dealer to the franchisor, without the express written consent of the dealer; (4) To resort to or to use any false or intentionally deceptive advertisement in the conduct of business as a franchisor in this state; (5) To make any false or intentionally deceptive statement, either directly or through any agent or employee, in order to induce any dealer to enter into any agreement or franchise or to take any action which is prejudicial to that dealer or that dealer's business; (6) To require any dealer to assent prospectively to a release, assignment, novation, waiver, or estoppel which would relieve any person from liability to be imposed by

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4641

law or to require any controversy between a dealer and a franchisor to be referred to any person other than the duly constituted courts of the state or the United States if such referral would be binding upon the dealer, provided that this Code section shall not prevent any dealer from entering into a valid release agreement with the franchisor; (7) To fail to observe good faith in any aspect of dealings between the franchisor and the dealer; (8) To deny any dealer the right of free association with any other dealer for any lawful purposes; (9) To engage in any predatory practice or discrimination against any dealer; (10) To propose or make any material change in any franchise agreement without giving the dealer written notice by certified mail or statutory overnight delivery of such change at least 60 days prior to the effective date of such change; (11) To cancel a franchise or to take any adverse action against a dealer based in whole or in part on the failure of the dealer to meet the reasonable performance goals of the manufacturer criteria established by the franchisor in light of existing circumstances, including but not limited to current and forecasted economic conditions, or when that failure is due to the failure of the franchisor to supply, within a reasonable period of time, new motor vehicles ordered by or allocated to the dealer; (12) To offer to sell or lease or to sell or lease any new motor vehicle or accessory to any dealer at a lower actual price therefor than the actual price offered to any other dealer for the same model vehicle similarly equipped or same accessory or to use any device, including but not limited to an incentive, sales promotion plan, or other similar program, which results in a lower actual price of a vehicle or accessory being offered to one dealer and which is not offered to other dealers of vehicles of the same line make or the same accessory; (13) To conduct an audit, investigation, or inquiry of any dealer or dealership as to any activity, transaction, conduct, or other occurrence which took place or as to any promotion or special event which ends more than one year prior to such audit, investigation, or inquiry or to base any decision adverse to the dealer or dealership on any activity, transaction, conduct, or other occurrence which took place or as to any promotion or special event which ends more than one year prior to such decision or which took place any time prior to the period of time covered by such audit, investigation, or inquiry or to apply the results of an audit, investigation, or inquiry to any activity, transaction, conduct, or other occurrence which took place any time prior to the time covered by such audit, investigation, or inquiry; (14) To charge back to, deduct from, or reduce any account of a dealer or any amount of money owed to a dealer by a franchisor any amount of money the franchisor alleges is owed to such franchisor by such dealer as a result of an audit, investigation, or inquiry of such dealer or based upon information obtained by the franchisor through other resources which relates to any transaction that occurred more than 12 months prior to notice to the dealer of the charge back or deduction, but rather if a franchisor alleges that a dealer owes such franchisor any amount of money as a result

4642

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

of an audit, investigation, or inquiry, such franchisor shall send a notice to such dealer for such amount and the dealer shall have not less than 30 days to contest such amount or remit payment; (15) To deny, delay payment for, restrict, or bill back a claim by a dealer for payment or reimbursement for warranty service or parts, incentives, hold-backs, special program money, or any other amount owed to such dealer unless such denial, delay, restriction, or bill back is the direct result of a material defect in the claim which affects the validity of the claim; (16) To engage in business as a dealer or to manage, control, or operate, or own any interest in a dealership either directly or indirectly, if the primary business of such dealer or dealership is to perform repair services on motor vehicles, except motor homes, pursuant to a manufacturer's or franchisor's warranty; or (17) To refuse to allow, to limit, or to restrict a dealer from maintaining, acquiring, or adding a sales or service operation for another line make of motor vehicles at the same or expanded facility at which the dealer currently operates a dealership unless the franchisor can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that such maintenance, acquisition, or addition will substantially impair the dealer's ability to adequately sell or service such franchisor's motor vehicles; (18) To directly or indirectly condition a franchise agreement or renewal of a franchise agreement, addition of a line make, approval of relocation, or approval of a sale or transfer on the dealer's or prospective dealer's willingness to enter into a site control agreement; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to a voluntary agreement when separate and adequate consideration is paid to the dealer. The franchisor shall have the burden of proof to show the voluntary, noncoerced acceptance of the site control agreement by the dealer; or (19) To charge back, withhold payment, deny vehicle allocation, or take other adverse action against a dealer when a new vehicle sold by the dealer has been exported to a foreign country unless the franchisor can demonstrate that the dealer knew or reasonably should have known that the customer intended to export or resell the new vehicle. There shall be a rebuttable presumption that the dealer had no such knowledge if the vehicle is titled or registered in any state in this country. (b) No action shall in any way be based on this Code section with respect to acts occurring prior to July 1, 1983."
SECTION 10. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.
SECTION 11. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
Representative Stephens of the 164th moved that the House agree to the Senate substitute to HB 1072.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the "Transportation Investment Act of 2010."

SECTION 1.1. Title 32 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to highways, bridges, and ferries, is amended by revising subsection (a) of Code Section 32-2-41, relating to the powers and duties of the commissioner of transportation, as follows:

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4651

"(a) As the chief executive officer of the department, the commissioner shall have direct and full control of the department. He or she shall possess, exercise, and perform all the duties, powers, and authority which may be vested in the department by law, except those duties, powers, and authority which are expressly reserved by law to the board or the director of planning. The commissioner's principal responsibility shall be the faithful implementation of transportation plans produced by the director of planning and approved by the Governor and the State Transportation Board, subject to the terms of such appropriations Acts as may be adopted from time to time. The commissioner shall also be responsible for the duties and activities assigned to the commissioner in Article 5 of Chapter 8 of Title 48. When the board is not in regular or called session, the commissioner shall perform, exercise, and possess all duties, powers, and authority of the board except:
(1) Approval of the advertising of nonnegotiated construction contracts; and (2) Approval of authority lease agreements. The commissioner shall also have the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain and to execute all contracts, authority lease agreements, and all other functions except those that cannot legally be delegated to him or her by the board."
SECTION 2. Said title is further amended by revising Code Section 32-2-43, relating to the responsibilities of the director of planning, as follows:
"32-2-43. (a) There shall be a director of planning appointed by the Governor subject to approval by a majority vote of both the House Transportation Committee and the Senate Transportation Committee. The director shall serve during the term of the Governor by whom he or she is appointed and at the pleasure of the Governor. Before assuming the duties of his or her office, the director shall qualify by giving bond with a corporate surety licensed to do business in this state, such bond to be in the amount of $500,000.00 and payable to the Governor and his or her successors in office. The bond shall be subject to the approval of the Governor and shall be conditioned on the faithful discharge of the duties of the office. The premium for the bond shall be paid out of the funds of the department. (b) The director of planning's principal responsibility shall be the development of transportation plans, including the development of the state-wide strategic transportation plan and state-wide transportation improvement program and other comprehensive plans pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 32-2-3 and Code Section 32-2-22, strategic transportation plans pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 32-2-41.1, and benchmarks and value engineering studies pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 32-2-41.2, in consultation with the board, the Governor, and the commissioner. The director shall also be responsible for the duties and activities assigned to the director in Article 5 of Chapter 8 of Title 48. The director shall be the director of the Planning Division of the department and shall possess, exercise, and perform all the duties, powers, and authority which may be vested in such division by

4652

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

law and are necessary or appropriate for such purpose, except those duties, powers, and authority which are expressly reserved by law to the board or the commissioner."
SECTION 3. Said title is further amended by adding new Code sections immediately following Code Section 32-9-12 to read as follows:
"32-9-13. Provisions in all laws, whether general or local, including but not limited to the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965 approved March 10, 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 2243), as amended, that set forth restrictions on the use by public transit authorities of annual proceeds from local sales and use taxes shall be suspended for the period beginning on the effective date of this Code section and continuing for three years. The greater discretion over such funds shall not abrogate the obligation of the public transit authority to comply with federal and state safety regulations and guidelines. Newly unrestricted funds shall be utilized, subject to total funding, to maintain the level of service for the transit system as it existed on January 1, 2010. Furthermore, except as had been previously contracted to by the public transit authority prior to January 1, 2010, no funds newly unrestricted during this suspended period shall be used by a public transit authority to benefit any person or other entity for any of the following: annual cost-of-living or merit based salary raises or increases in hourly wages; increased overtime due to such wage increases; payment of bonuses; or to increase the level of benefits of any kind.
32-9-14. (a) Any provisions to the contrary in the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965, approved March 10, 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 2243), as amended, notwithstanding, the terms of all members of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority shall terminate on December 31, 2010, and the board shall be reconstituted according to the provisions of this Code section. (b) Effective January 1, 2011, the board of directors of the authority shall be composed of 11 voting members and one nonvoting member. Of the voting members: three members shall be residents of the City of Atlanta to be nominated by the mayor and elected by the city council; four members shall be residents of DeKalb County to be appointed by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners and at least one of such appointees shall be a resident of that portion of DeKalb County lying south of the southernmost corporate boundaries of the City of Decatur and at least one of such appointees shall be a resident of that portion of DeKalb County lying north of the southernmost corporate boundaries of the City of Decatur; three members shall be residents of Fulton County to be appointed by the local governing body thereof, and one of such appointees shall be a resident of that portion of Fulton County lying south of the corporate limits of the City of Atlanta and two of such appointees shall be residents of that portion of Fulton County lying north of the corporate limits of the City of Atlanta. The commissioner of transportation shall be a voting member of the board

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4653

and the executive director of the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority shall be a nonvoting member of the board. The governing body that appoints a member shall appoint successors thereto for terms of office of four years in the same manner that such governing body makes its other appointments to the board. (c) All appointments shall be for terms of four years except that a vacancy caused otherwise than by expiration of term shall be filled for the unexpired portion thereof by the local governing body that made the original appointment to the vacant position, or its successor in office. A member of the board may be appointed to succeed himself or herself for one four-year term. Appointments to fill expiring terms shall be made by the local governing body prior to the expiration of the term, but such appointments shall not be made more than 30 days prior to the expiration of the term. Members appointed to the board shall serve for the terms of office specified in this Code section and until their respective successors are appointed and qualified. (d) The local governing bodies of Clayton, Cobb, and Gwinnett Counties may, any other provision of this Code section to the contrary notwithstanding, negotiate, enter into, and submit to the qualified voters of their respective counties the question of approval of a rapid transit contract between the county submitting the question and the authority. The local governing bodies of these counties shall be authorized to execute such rapid transit contracts prior to the holding of a referendum provided for in Section 24 of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Act of 1965, approved March 10, 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 2243), as amended; provided, however, that any such rapid transit contract shall not become valid and binding unless the same is approved by a majority of those voting in said referendum, which approval shall also be deemed approval of further participation in the authority. Upon approval of such rapid transit contract, the county entering into such contract shall be a participant in the authority, and its rights and responsibilities shall, insofar as possible, be the same as those belonging to Fulton and DeKalb Counties, and the local governing body of the county may then appoint two residents of the county to the board of directors of the authority, to serve a term ending on the thirty-first day of December in the fourth full year after the year in which the referendum approving said rapid transit contract was held, in which event the board of directors of the authority shall, be composed also of such additional members. (e) No person shall be appointed as a member of the board who holds any other public office or public employment except an office in the reserves of the armed forces of the United States or the National Guard; any member who accepts or enters upon any other public office or public employment shall be disqualified thereby to serve as a member. (f) A local governing body may remove any member of the board appointed by it for cause. No member shall be thus removed unless the member has been given a copy of the allegations against him or her and an opportunity to be publicly heard in his or her own defense in person with or by counsel with at least ten days' written notice to the member. A member thus removed from office shall have the right to a judicial review of the member's removal by an appeal to the superior court of the county of the local governing body which appointed the member, but only on the ground of error of law or

4654

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

abuse of discretion. In case of abandonment of the member's office, conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude or a plea of nolo contendere thereto, removal from office, or disqualification under subsection (e) of this Code section, the office of a member shall be vacant upon the declaration of the board. A member shall be deemed to have abandoned the member's office upon failure to attend any regular or special meeting of the board for a period of four months without excuse approved by a resolution of the board, or upon removal of the member's residence from the territory of the local governing body that appointed the member. (g) Each appointed member of the board, except the chairperson, shall be paid by the authority a per diem allowance, in an amount equal to that provided by Code Section 45-7-21 for each day on which that member attends an official meeting of the board, of any committee of the board, or of the authority's Pension Committee, Board of Ethics, or Arts Council; provided, however, that said per diem allowance shall not be paid to any such member for more than 130 days in any one calendar year. If the chairperson of the board is an appointed member of the board, the chairperson shall be paid by the authority a per diem allowance in the same amount for each day in which the chairperson engages in official business of the authority, including but not limited to, attendance of any of the aforesaid meetings. A member of the board shall also be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred by that member in the performance of that member's duties as authorized by the board. A board member shall not be allowed employee benefits. (h) The board shall elect one of its members as chairperson and another as vice chairperson for terms to expire on December 31 of each year to preside at meetings and perform such other duties as the board may prescribe. The presiding officer of the board may continue to vote as any other member, notwithstanding the member's duties as presiding officer, if the member so desires. The board shall also elect from its membership a secretary and a treasurer who shall serve terms expiring on December 31 of each year. A member of the board may hold only one office on the board at any one time. (i) The board shall hold at least one meeting each month. The secretary of the board shall give written notice to each member of the board at least two days prior to any called meeting that may be scheduled, and said secretary shall be informed of the call of such meeting sufficiently in advance so as to provide for the giving of notice as above. A majority of the total membership of the board, as it may exist at the time, shall constitute a quorum. On any question presented, the number of members present shall be recorded. By affirmative vote of a majority of the members present, the board may exercise all the powers and perform all the duties of the board, except as otherwise hereinafter provided or as limited by its bylaws, and no vacancy on the original membership of the board, or thereafter, shall impair the power of the board to act. All meetings of the board, its executive committee, or any committee appointed by the board shall be subject to Chapter 14 of Title 50.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4655

(j) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code section, the following actions by the board shall require the affirmative vote of one more than a majority of the total membership of the board as it may exist at the time:
(1) The issuance and sale of revenue bonds or equipment trust certificates; (2) The purchase or lease of any privately owned system of transportation of passengers for hire in its entirety, or any substantial part thereof. Prior to the purchase or lease of any such privately owned system a public hearing pertaining thereto shall have been held and notice of such public hearing shall have been advertised; provided, however, that no sum shall be paid for such privately owned system of transportation in excess of the fair market value thereof determined by a minimum of two appraisers qualified to appraise privately owned systems of transportation and approved by a majority of the local governments participating in the financing of such purchase; (3) The award of any contract involving $100,000.00 or more for construction, alterations, supplies, equipment, repairs, maintenance, or services other than professional services or for the purchase, sale, or lease of any property. The board by appropriate resolution may delegate to the general manager the general or specific authority to enter into contracts involving less than $100,000.00; (4) The grant of any concession; and (5) The award of any contract for the management of any authority owned property or facility. (k) The board shall appoint and employ, as needed, a general manager and a general counsel, none of whom may be members of the board or a relative of a member of the board, and delegate to them such authority as it may deem appropriate. It may make such bylaws or rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for its own government, not inconsistent with this Code section, including the establishment of an executive committee to exercise such authority as its bylaws may prescribe. (l) The treasurer of the authority and such other members of the board and such other officers and employees of the authority as the board may determine shall execute corporate surety bonds, conditioned upon the faithful performance of their respective duties. A blanket form of surety bond may be used for this purpose. Neither the obligation of the principal or the surety shall extend to any loss sustained by the insolvency, failure, or closing of any depository which has been approved as a depository for public funds. (m)(1) In addition to the requirements of subsection (i) of this Code section, each member of the board shall hold a meeting once each 12 months with the local governing body that appointed such member. The secretary of the board shall give written notice to each member of the board, to each local governing body, and to the governing authority of each municipality in the county in which there is an existing or proposed rail line at least two days prior to any meeting that may be scheduled, and said secretary shall be informed of the call of such meeting sufficiently in advance so as to provide for giving such notice. These meetings shall be for the purpose of reporting to the local governing bodies on the operations of the authority and on the

4656

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

activities of the board and making such information available to the general public. No activity that requires action by the board shall be initiated or undertaken at any meeting conducted under this subsection. (2) The board shall submit once each three months a written report on the operations of the authority and on the activities of the board to each local governing body that appoints a member of the board."
SECTION 4. Said title is further amended by adding a new chapter to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 12
32-12-1. The General Assembly finds that there exist a number of programs designed to provide rural and human services transportation and that frequently these services are provided over large geographic areas through various funding sources which are frequently targeted to narrowly defined client bases. The sheer number of such programs lends itself to a need for coordination among the programs and agencies which implement them so as to best assist economies in purchasing equipment and operating these many programs, to better serve the taxpayers of the state in ensuring the most cost-effective delivery of these services, and to best serve the clients utilizing the transportation services provided through these programs.
32-12-2. There is created the Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation of the Governor's Development Council.
32-12-3. The Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation and its advisory subcommittees shall meet not less often than quarterly. Administrative expenses of the committee shall be borne by the Governor's Development Council. The members of the committee shall receive no extra compensation or reimbursement of expenses from the state for their services as members of the committee.
32-12-4. The Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation shall establish the State Advisory Subcommittee for Rural and Human Services Transportation which shall consist of the State School Superintendent and the commissioners of the Department of Transportation, Department of Human Services, Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Department of Community Health, Department of Labor, the Governor's Development Council, and the Department of Community Affairs or their respective designees. The commissioner of transportation or his or her designee shall serve as chairperson of the State Advisory

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4657

Subcommittee for Rural and Human Services Transportation. The Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation may also establish such additional advisory subcommittees as it deems appropriate to fulfill its mission which shall consist of a representative of each metropolitan planning organization and representatives from each regional commission in this state and may include other local government representatives; private and public sector transportation providers, both for profit and nonprofit; voluntary transportation programs representatives; public transit system representatives, both rural and urban; and representatives of the clients served by the various programs administered by the agencies represented on the State Advisory Subcommittee for Rural and Human Services Transportation. Members of advisory committees shall be responsible for their own expenses and shall receive no compensation or reimbursement of expenses from the Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation, the State Advisory Subcommittee for Rural and Human Services Transportation, or the state for their services as members of an advisory committee.
32-12-5. The Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation shall examine the manner in which transportation services are provided by the participating agencies represented on the committee. Such examination shall include but not be limited to:
(1) An analysis of all programs administered by participating agencies, including capital and operating costs, and overlapping or duplication of services among such programs, with emphasis on how to overcome such overlapping or duplication; (2) The means by which transportation services are coordinated among state, local, and federal funding source programs; (3) The means by which both capital and operating costs for transportation could be combined or shared among agencies, including at a minimum shared purchase of vehicles and maintenance of such vehicles; (4) An analysis of those areas which might appropriately be consolidated to lower the costs of program delivery without sacrificing program quality to clients, including shared use of vehicles for client trips regardless of the funding source which pays for their trips; (5) An analysis of state of the art efforts to coordinate rural and human services transportation elsewhere in the nation, including at a minimum route scheduling so as to avoid duplicative trips in a given locality; (6) A review of any limitations which may be imposed by various federally funded programs and how the state can manage within those limitations as it reviews possible sharing opportunities; (7) An analysis of how agency programs interact with and impact state, local, or regional transportation services performed on behalf of the general public through state, local, or regional transit systems;

4658

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(8) An evaluation of potential cost sharing opportunities available for clients served by committee agencies so as to maximize service delivery efficiencies and to obtain the maximum benefit on their behalf with the limited amount of funds available; and (9) An analysis of possible methods to reduce costs, including, but not limited to, greater use of privatization.
32-12-6. No later than July 1 of each year, the Governor's Development Council shall submit the preliminary report of the Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation to the members of the State Advisory Subcommittee for Rural and Human Services Transportation. Comments and recommendations may be submitted to the Governor's Development Council for a period of 30 days. No later than September 1 of each year, the Governor's Development Council shall submit a final report to the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget for review and consideration. The report shall address each of the specific duties enumerated in Code Section 32-12-5 and such other subject areas within its purview as the Governor's Development Council shall deem appropriate. Each report shall focus on existing conditions in coordination of rural and human services transportation within the state and shall make specific recommendations for means to improve such current practices. Such recommendations shall address at a minimum both their cost implications and impact on client service. No later than January 15 of each year, the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget shall submit the final report of the Governor's Development Council and any affiliated budget recommendations to the presiding officers of the General Assembly, with copies of said report sent to the chairpersons of the transportation committees, the appropriations committees, and the health and human services committees of each chamber of the General Assembly."
SECTION 5. Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to revenue and taxation, is amended by revising subsection (b) of Code Section 48-8-6, relating to limitations on local imposition of certain taxes, as follows:
"(b) There shall not be imposed in any jurisdiction in this state or on any transaction in this state local sales taxes, local use taxes, or local sales and use taxes in excess of 2 percent. For purposes of this prohibition, the taxes affected are any sales tax, use tax, or sales and use tax which is levied in an area consisting of less than the entire state, however authorized, including such taxes authorized by or pursuant to constitutional amendment, except that the following taxes shall not count toward or be subject to such 2 percent limitation:
(1) A sales and use tax for educational purposes exempted from such limitation under Article VIII, Section VI, Paragraph IV of the Constitution; (2) Any tax levied for purposes of a metropolitan area system of public transportation, as authorized by the amendment to the Constitution set out at Georgia Laws, 1964, page 1008; the continuation of such amendment under Article XI,

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4659

Section I, Paragraph IV(d) of the Constitution; and the laws enacted pursuant to such constitutional amendment; provided, however, that the exception provided for under this paragraph shall only apply in:
(A) In a county in which a tax is being imposed under subparagraph (a)(1)(D) of Code Section 48-8-111 in whole or in part for the purpose or purposes of a water capital outlay project or projects, a sewer capital outlay project or projects, a water and sewer capital outlay project or projects, water and sewer projects and costs as defined under paragraph (3)(4) of Code Section 48-8-200, or any combination thereof and with respect to which the county has entered into an intergovernmental contract with a municipality, in which the average waste-water system flow of such municipality is not less than 85 million gallons per day, allocating proceeds to such municipality to be used solely for water and sewer projects and costs as defined under paragraph (3)(4) of Code Section 48-8-200. The exception provided for under this paragraph subparagraph shall apply only during the period the tax under said subparagraph (a)(1)(D) is in effect. The exception provided for under this paragraph subparagraph shall not apply in any county in which a tax is being imposed under Article 2A of this chapter; or (B) In a county in which the tax levied for purposes of a metropolitan area system of public transportation is first levied after January 1, 2010, and before November 1, 2012. Such tax shall not apply to the following:
(i) The sale or use of jet fuel to or by a qualifying airline at a qualifying airport. For purposes of this division, a 'qualifying airline' means any person which is authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration or another appropriate agency of the United States to operate as an air carrier under an air carrier operating certificate and which provides regularly scheduled flights for the transportation of passengers or cargo for hire. For purposes of this division, a 'qualifying airport' means any airport in the state that has had more than 750,000 takeoffs and landings during a calendar year; and (ii) The sale of motor vehicles; (3) In the event of a rate increase imposed pursuant to Code Section 48-8-96, only the amount in excess of the initial 1 percent sales and use tax and in the event of a newly imposed tax pursuant to Code Section 48-8-96, only the amount in excess of a 1 percent sales and use tax; and (4) A sales and use tax levied under Article 4 of this chapter; and (5) A sales and use tax levied under Article 5 of this chapter. If the imposition of any otherwise authorized local sales tax, local use tax, or local sales and use tax would result in a tax rate in excess of that authorized by this subsection, then such otherwise authorized tax may not be imposed."
SECTION 6. Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to revenue and taxation, is amended by adding a new article in Chapter 8 to read as follows:

4660

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

"ARTICLE 5 Part 1
48-8-240. The local governments of the State of Georgia are of vital importance to the state and its citizens. The state has an essential public interest in promoting, developing, sustaining, and assisting local governments. The General Assembly finds that the design and construction of transportation projects is a critical local government service for which adequate funding is not presently available. Many transportation projects cross multiple jurisdictional boundaries and must be coordinated in their design and construction. The General Assembly finds that the most efficient means to coordinate and fund such projects is through the creation of special districts that correspond with the boundaries of existing regional commissions. The purpose of this article is to provide for special districts that will enable the coordinated design and construction of transportation projects that will develop and promote the essential public interests of the state and its citizens at the state, regional, and local levels. The General Assembly intends through the creation of such special districts to enable the citizens within each district to decide in an election whether to authorize the imposition of a special district transportation sales and use tax to fund the projects on an investment list collaboratively developed by the affected local governments and the state. This article shall be construed liberally to achieve its purpose.
48-8-241. (a) There are created within this state 12 special districts. The geographical boundary of each special district shall correspond with and shall be coterminous with the geographical boundary of the applicable region of the 12 regional commissions provided for in subsection (f) of Code Section 50-8-4. (b) When the imposition of a special district sales and use tax is authorized according to the procedures provided in this article within a special district, subject to the requirement of referendum approval and the other requirements of this article, a special sales and use tax shall be imposed within the special district for a period of ten years which tax shall be known as the special district transportation sales and use tax. (c) Nothing in this article shall be construed as limiting the establishment of a fund or funds which would provide at least 20 years of maintenance and operation costs from proceeds of the special district transportation sales and use tax used to construct, finance, or otherwise develop transit capital projects; provided, however, that the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, created by an Act approved March 10, 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 2243), as amended, shall not be authorized to use any proceeds from the special district transportation sales and use tax for expenses of maintenance and operation of such portions of the transportation system of such authority in existence on January1, 2011. (d) Any tax imposed under this article shall be at the rate of 1 percent. Except as to rate, a tax imposed under this article shall correspond to the tax imposed by Article 1 of

The question of levying the tax shall not be submitted to the voters of the special district until after 24 months immediately following the month in which the special district gridlock was reached. (c) In the event a special district gridlock is declared, the local governments in such special district shall be required to provide a 50 percent match for any local maintenance and improvement grants by the Department of Transportation. Such 50 percent match requirement shall remain in place until the special district roundtable approves an investment list meeting the special district's investment criteria and an election is held within the special district on the levy of the special district transportation sales and use tax.

An annual audit shall be paid for by each special district and conducted by an independent auditing firm as selected by the commission. Such audit shall include a schedule which shows for each such project the original estimated cost, the current estimated cost if it is not the original estimated cost, amounts expended in prior years, and amounts expended in the current year. Such audit shall verify and test expenditures sufficient to provide assurances that the schedule is fairly presented in relation to the financial statements. The audit report on the financial statements shall include an opinion, or disclaimer of opinion, as to whether the schedule is presented fairly in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. (e) Twenty-five percent of the proceeds received from the tax authorized by this article shall be distributed to the local governments within the special district in which the tax is imposed if such special district's boundaries are not coterminous with an MPO. Fifteen percent of the proceeds received from the tax authorized by this article shall be distributed to the local governments within the special district in which the tax is imposed if such special district's boundaries are wholly contained within a single MPO. Such percentages shall be allocated to each local government by multiplying the LARP factor of each local government by the total amount of funds to be distributed to all the local governments in the special district. Proceeds described in this subsection shall be distributed to the local governments on an ongoing basis as they are received by the commission. Such proceeds shall be used by the local governments only for transportation projects as defined in paragraph (10) of Code Section 48-8-242 and may also serve as the local match as required for state transportation projects and grants. If a special district receives from the tax net proceeds in excess of the investment list approved by the roundtable for the imposition of the tax or in excess of the actual cost of the project or projects on such investment list, then such excess proceeds shall be distributed among the local governments within the special district in accordance with this subsection.

48-8-252. Where a special district transportation sales and use tax under this article has been paid with respect to tangible personal property by the purchaser either in another special district within the state or in a tax jurisdiction outside the state, the tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by this article upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due under this article, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in the other tax jurisdiction and the amount due under this article. The state revenue commissioner may require such proof of payment in another local tax jurisdiction as he or she deems necessary and proper. No credit shall be granted, however, against the tax imposed under this article for tax paid in another jurisdiction if the tax paid in such other jurisdiction is used to obtain a credit against any other sales and use tax levied in the special district.
48-8-253. No tax provided for in this article shall be imposed upon the sale of tangible personal property which is ordered by and delivered to the purchaser at a point outside the geographical area of the special district in which the tax is imposed regardless of the point at which title passes, if the delivery is made by the seller's vehicle, United States mail, or common carrier or by private or contract carrier licensed by the Surface Transportation Board or the Georgia Public Service Commission.

combination of such items, and any other leased or purchased articles when the materials, supplies, fixtures, equipment, or articles are to be utilized or consumed during construction or are to be incorporated into construction work pursuant to a bona fide written construction contract. (b) No tax provided for in this article shall be imposed upon the sale or use of building and construction materials when the contract pursuant to which the materials are purchased or used was advertised for bid prior to the voters' approval of the levy of the tax and the contract was entered into as a result of a bid actually submitted in response to the advertisement prior to approval of the levy of the tax.
48-8-255. Subject to the approval of the House and Senate Transportation Committees, the state revenue commissioner shall have the power and authority to promulgate such rules and regulations as shall be necessary for the effective and efficient administration and enforcement of the collection of the special district transportation sales and use tax authorized by this article.
48-8-256. The tax authorized by this article shall not be subject to any allocation or balancing of state and federal funds provided for by general law, nor may such proceeds be considered or taken into account in any such allocation or balancing."
SECTION 7. Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state government, is amended by adding a new Code section as follows:
"50-32-5. (a) The State of Georgia, particularly the metropolitan Atlanta region, faces a number of critical issues relating to its transportation system and ever-increasing traffic congestion. In light of the dwindling resources available to help solve the problems, it is imperative that all available resources be used to maximum efficiency in order to alleviate the gridlock in and around the metropolitan Atlanta region. There exists a need for a thorough examination of our current transportation system and the methodical development of legislative proposals for a regional transit governing authority in Georgia. (b) In order to find practical, workable solutions to these problems, there is created the Transit Governance Study Commission to be composed of: four Senators from the Atlanta Regional Commission area to be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, four Representatives from the Atlanta Regional Commission area to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the chairperson of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Oversight Committee, the chairperson of the Atlanta Regional Commission, the chairperson of the Regional Transit Committee of the Atlanta Regional Commission, one staff member from the Atlanta Regional Commission to be selected by the chairperson of the Atlanta Regional Commission, the executive director

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

of the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, the general manager of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, and the directors of any other county transit systems operating in the Atlanta Regional Commission area. (c) The commission shall elect, by a majority vote, one of its legislative members to serve as chairperson of the commission and such other officers as the commission deems appropriate. The commission shall meet at least quarterly at the call of the chairperson. The commission may conduct such meetings and hearings at such places and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish its objectives and purposes as contained in this Code section. (d) All officers and agencies of the three branches of state government are directed to provide all appropriate information and assistance as requested by the commission. (e) The commission shall undertake a study of the issues described in this Code section and recommend specific legislation which the commission deems necessary or appropriate. Specifically, the commission shall prepare a preliminary report on the feasibility of combining all of the regional public transportation entities into an integrated regional transit body. This preliminary report shall be completed on or before December 31, 2010, and be delivered to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The commission shall make a final report of its findings and recommendations, with specific language for proposed legislation, if any, on or before August 1, 2011, to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The commission shall stand abolished on August 1, 2011, unless extended by subsequent Act of the General Assembly. (f) The Atlanta Regional Commission in conjunction with the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority and the department's director of planning shall utilize federal and state planning funds to continue the development of the Atlanta region's Concept 3 transit proposal, including assessment of potential economic benefit to the region and the state, prioritization of corridors based on highest potential economic benefit and lowest environmental impact, and completion of environmental permitting. Any new transit management instrumentality created as a result of the Transit Governance Study Commission created pursuant to this Code section shall participate in the Concept 3 development activities that remain incomplete at the time of the creation of the new regional transit body."
SECTION 8. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval, except that Part 2 of Article 5 of Chapter 8 of Title 48 as set forth in Section 6 of this Act shall become effective January 1, 2011.
SECTION 9. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. Chapter 8 of Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the employment and training of peace officers, is amended by revising Code Section 35-8-8, relating to the requirements for appointment or certification of persons as peace officers and pre-employment attendance at a basic training course, as follows:
"35-8-8. (a) Any person employed or certified as a peace officer shall:
(1) Be at least 18 years of age; (2) Be a citizen of the United States; (3) Have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent; (4) Not have been convicted by any state or by the federal government of any crime the punishment for which could have been imprisonment in the federal or state prison or institution nor have been convicted of sufficient misdemeanors to establish a pattern of disregard for the law, provided that, for the purposes of this paragraph, violations of traffic laws and other offenses involving the operation of motor vehicles when the applicant has received a pardon shall not be considered; (5) Be fingerprinted for the purpose of conducting a fingerprint based search at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine the existence of any criminal record; (6) Possess good moral character as determined by investigation under procedure established by the council and fully cooperate during the course of such investigation; (7) Be found, after examination by a licensed physician or surgeon, to be free from any physical, emotional, or mental conditions which might adversely affect his or her exercising exercise of the powers or duties of a peace officer; and (8) Successfully complete a job related academy entrance examination provided for and administered by the council in conformity with state and federal law. Such examination shall be administered prior to entrance to the basic course provided for in Code Sections 35-8-9 and 35-8-11. The council may change or modify such examination and shall establish the criteria for determining satisfactory performance on such examination. Peace officers who do not perform satisfactorily on the examination shall be ineligible to retake such examination for a period of six months after an unsuccessful attempt. The provisions of this paragraph establish only the minimum requirements of academy entrance examinations for peace officer candidates in this state; each law enforcement unit is encouraged to provide such additional requirements and any preemployment examination as it deems necessary and appropriate. (b) Any person authorized to attend the basic training course prior to employment as a peace officer shall meet the requirements of subsection (a) of this Code section. (c)(1) For purposes of this subsection, the term 'employment related information' means written information contained in a prior employer's records or personnel files that relates to an applicant's, candidate's, or peace officer's performance or behavior

4684

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

while employed by such prior employer, including performance evaluations, records of disciplinary actions, and eligibility for rehire. Such term shall not include information prohibited from disclosure by federal law or any document not in the possession of the employer at the time a request for such information is received. (2) Where an investigation is conducted for the purpose of hiring, certifying, or continuing the certification of a peace officer, an employer shall disclose employment related information to the investigating law enforcement agency upon receiving a written request from such agency. Disclosure shall only be required under this subsection if the law enforcement agency's request is accompanied by a copy of a signed, notarized statement from the applicant, candidate, or peace officer releasing and holding harmless such employer from any and all liability for disclosing complete and accurate information to the law enforcement agency. (3) An employer may charge a reasonable fee to cover actual costs incurred in copying and furnishing documents to a requesting law enforcement agency, including retrieving and redacting costs, provided such amount shall not exceed $25.00 or $0.25 per page, whichever is greater. No employer shall be required to prepare or create any document not already in the employer's possession at the time a request for employment related information is received. Any employment related information provided pursuant to this subsection that is not subject to public disclosure while in the possession of a prior employer shall continue to be privileged and protected from public disclosure as a record of the requesting law enforcement agency. (4) No employer or law enforcement agency shall be subject to any civil liability for any cause of action by virtue of disclosing complete and accurate information to a law enforcement agency in good faith and without malice pursuant to this subsection. In any such cause of action malice or bad faith shall only be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence. Nothing contained in this subsection shall be construed so as to affect or limit rights or remedies provided by federal law. (5) Before taking final action on an application for employment based, in whole or in part, on any unfavorable employment related information received from a previous employer, a law enforcement agency shall inform the applicant, candidate, or peace officer that it has received such employment related information, and that the applicant, candidate, or peace officer may inspect and respond in writing to such information. Upon the applicant's, candidate's, or peace officer's request, the law enforcement agency shall allow him or her to inspect the employment related information and to submit a written response to such information. The request for inspection shall be made within five business days from the date that the applicant, candidate, or peace officer is notified of the law enforcement agency's receipt of such employment related information. The inspection shall occur not later than ten business days after said notification. Any response to the employment related information shall be made by the applicant, candidate, or peace officer not later than three business days after his or her inspection."

"Part 6
12-5-200. The General Assembly finds that:
(1) Water is an essential resource, the continued provision of which is necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the State of Georgia; and (2) It is in the best interests of the State of Georgia for public water systems in the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District to evaluate their withdrawal, treatment, and distribution systems and to take proactive measures to reduce the risk of catastrophic interruptions of water service during emergencies.
12-5-201. As used in this part, the term:
(1) 'Authority' means the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority created by Code Section 50-23-3. (2) 'District' means the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District created by Code Section 12-5-572. (3) 'Emergency plan' means the written emergency water supply plan developed as provided in Code Section 12-5-202. (4) 'Essential water needs' means the minimum amount of water needed for residential and commercial means for food processing, drinking, toilet flushing, fire fighting, hospital use, and critical asset use and a portion of the system's unaccounted for water. (5) 'Qualified system' means any public water system owned and operated by a city, county, or water authority in the district.
12-5-202. (a) Subject to authorization as provided in subsection (c) of Code Section 12-5-203, not later than September 1, 2010, the authority shall issue a request for proposal for a thorough and detailed engineering study developing a district-wide emergency plan covering every qualified system. Such plan shall identify sufficient emergency water supply sources and detailed steps required to modify a qualified system's operations to accept or share water with adjacent water providers within the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District during emergencies to supply essential water needs. (b) The emergency plan shall evaluate risks and, where feasible, plan for a districtwide interconnection reliability target for immediate implementation of approximately 35 percent of the annual average daily demand and a long-range district-wide interconnection reliability planning goal of approximately 65 percent of the annual average daily demand. (c) Such plan shall be based initially on the 2035 water demand forecasted by the district in 2009 and updated by a revised forecast every five years thereafter and shall include or be based upon:

4688

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(1) An evaluation of factors affecting water system reliability, including raw and finished water storage, infrastructure conditions, equipment redundancy, and existing interconnection capability; (2) Detailed hydraulic studies to determine overall distribution system improvements required to meet projected demands; (3) A consideration of various emergency situations, including, without limitation:
(A) The failure of the largest water treatment facility of a qualified system; (B) The full unavailability of major raw water sources due to federal or state government actions; (C) The limited or reduced availability of major raw water sources due to federal or state government actions; (D) The short-term catastrophic failure of a water distribution system; (E) The short-term contamination of a water supply system; and (F) The short-term contamination of a raw water source making it unsuitable for use; provided, however, that the results of poor planning or inadequate infrastructure investments by a qualified system shall not constitute an emergency situation. (4) An evaluation of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of providing multidirectional flows at existing and future interconnections with a pipe diameter equal to or greater than 12 inches; (5) A continuously updated inventory of distribution system components, including good system maps; (6) Steps that need to be taken to receive water from an adjacent utility within the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District or to provide water to another utility within the district, including required new infrastructure and the location of such infrastructure for both the interconnection reliability target for immediate implementation and the long-range interconnection planning goal; (7) Consideration of chemical compatibility, treatment requirements, water quality, operating pressure, and impact on water withdrawal permits; (8) A detailed estimate of the costs of implementation for both the interconnection reliability target for immediate implementation and the long-range interconnection planning goal; (9) A model intergovernmental agreement for sharing and pricing of water during emergency situations; and (10) Creative financing options for implementation of recommended interconnection projects. (d) Each qualified system shall coordinate with and assist the authority in the development of the emergency plan. (e) The authority and its consultant shall meet at least once every three months with the district water supply technical coordinating committee to review the progress of the plan. The authority and its consultants shall receive and may incorporate the comments of the committee into the plan.

(c) The authority shall submit by July 15, 2010, the preliminary scope of work statement to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to receive authorization to issue a request for proposals based on such preliminary scope of work statement not later than September 1, 2010. (d) The authority shall modify the preliminary scope of work statement or the preparation of the emergency plan if specific water allocations are provided by final federal courts rulings, state compacts, or other mechanisms. The plan shall be based on such allocations.
12-5-204. (a) The authority shall ensure the completion of the emergency plan not later than September 1, 2011, and shall submit the emergency plan to the director of the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources, the director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and chairpersons of the Senate and House Committees on Natural Resources and Environment and of the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations not later than September 15, 2011.

SB 488. By Senators Cowsert of the 46th, Harp of the 29th and Hamrick of the 30th:

A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Article 5 of Chapter 12 of Title 9 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the "Georgia Foreign Money Judgments Recognition Act," so as to not recognize foreign judgments in defamation actions unless such jurisdiction's laws provide sufficiently similar constitutional protections as provided by courts in this state; to provide for related matters; to provide for applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted:

A BILL

To amend Title 9 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to civil practice, so as to change provisions relating to the tolling of limitations for tort actions while certain criminal prosecutions are pending; to provide a definition; to not recognize foreign

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

judgments in actions for defamation or injury to reputation unless such jurisdiction's laws provide sufficiently similar constitutional protections as provided by courts in this state; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1. Title 9 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to civil practice, is amended by revising Code Section 9-3-99, relating to tolling of limitations for tort actions while criminal prosecution is pending, as follows:
"9-3-99. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'crime' means:
(1) A felony; (2) Any violation of Article 15 of Chapter 6 of Title 40; or (3) A misdemeanor violation of the Code that results in another person's:
(A) Death; or (B) Bodily harm by depriving him or her of a member of his or her body, rendering a member of his or her body useless, seriously disfiguring his or her body or a member thereof, or by causing organic brain damage which renders his or her body or any member thereof useless. (b) The running of the period of limitations with respect to any cause of action in tort against any party that may be brought by the victim of an alleged crime which arises out of the facts and circumstances relating to the commission of such alleged crime committed in this state shall be tolled from the date of the commission of the alleged crime or the act giving rise to such action in tort until the prosecution of such crime or act has become final or otherwise terminated, provided that such time does not exceed six years."
SECTION 2. Said title is further amended by revising Code Section 9-12-114, relating to when a foreign judgment is not recognized, as follows:
"9-12-114. A foreign judgment shall not be recognized if:
(1) The judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law; (2) The foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant; (3) The foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter; (4) The defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him or her to defend; (5) The judgment was obtained by fraud; (6) The cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of this state;

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010

4693

(7) The judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment; (8) The proceedings in the foreign court were contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in that court; (9) In the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action; or (10) The party seeking to enforce the judgment fails to demonstrate that judgments of courts of the United States and of states thereof of the same type and based on substantially similar jurisdictional grounds are recognized and enforced in the courts of the foreign state.; or
(11)(A) The judgment was based on a cause of action for defamation or injury to reputation, unless a court sitting in this state before which the matter is brought first determines that the law which applied in the foreign state's court's adjudication provided at least as much protection for freedom of speech and press as would be provided by the United States Constitution and the Georgia Constitution. (B) For the purposes of rendering declaratory relief with respect to a person's liability under this paragraph, the courts of this state shall have personal jurisdiction over any person who is subject to the jurisdiction of this state by virtue of bringing a proceeding in this state to domesticate or enforce a foreign judgment, is subject to the general jurisdiction of this state, or is subject to the jurisdiction of this state pursuant to Article 4 of Chapter 10 of this title, and who obtains a foreign judgment in a proceeding for defamation or injury to reputation against any person who:
(i) Is a resident of this state; (ii) Is a person or entity amenable to the jurisdiction of this state; (iii) Has assets in this state; or (iv) May have to take action in this state to comply with such judgment. (C) This paragraph shall apply to foreign judgments rendered on or after July 1, 2010, in proceedings for defamation or injury to reputation."

SECTION 3. This Act shall become effective on July 1, 2010, and Section 1 of this Act shall apply to any civil action which arises on or after July 1, 2010.

SECTION 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
PART I SECTION 1-1. Article 1 of Chapter 16 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relative to public property, is amended by revising subsection (b) of Code Section 50-16-18, relating to writing off small amounts due to the state, as follows: "(b)(1) All state agencies and departments, in order to preserve public funds, shall be authorized to develop appropriate standards that comply with the policies prescribed by the state accounting officer which will provide a mechanism to consider administratively discharging any obligation or charge in favor of such agency or department when such obligation or charge is $100.00 or any lesser amount unless the agency or department belongs to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia or the Technical College System of Georgia in which case the obligation or charge in favor of the institution under the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia or the institution of the Technical College System of Georgia may be $3,000.00 or any lesser amount. This procedure shall not be available to such agency or department in those instances where the obligor has more than one such debt or obligation in any given fiscal year, and this provision shall be construed in favor of the state agency or department so as not to alter the unquestioned ability of such state agency or department to pursue any debt, obligation, or claim in any amount whatsoever. In those instances where a debt or obligation of $100.00 or less, or $3,000.00 or less for the institutions of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia or the Technical College System of Georgia, has been deemed to be uncollectable, the proper individual making such determination shall transmit a recapitulation of the efforts made to collect the debt together with all other appropriate information, which shall include a reasonable estimate of the cost to pursue administratively or judicially the account, together with a recommendation to the commissioner of such state agency or department. In those instances where the commissioner makes a determination that further collection efforts would be detrimental to the public's financial interest, a certificate reflecting this determination shall be executed, and this certificate shall serve as the authority to remove such uncollectable accounts from the financial records of such state agency or department. Such certificates shall be forwarded to the state accounting officer in a manner and at such times as are reflected in the standards developed by the state accounting officer and the state agency or department. This paragraph shall stand repealed and reserved effective July 1, 2010 2013.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(2) On and after July 1, 2010 2013, all state agencies and departments, in order to preserve public funds, shall be authorized to develop appropriate standards that comply with the policies prescribed by the state accounting officer which will provide a mechanism to consider administratively discharging any obligation or charge in favor of such agency or department when such obligation or charge is $100.00 or any lesser amount. This procedure shall not be available to such agency or department in those instances where the obligor has more than one such debt or obligation in any given fiscal year, and this provision shall be construed in favor of the state agency or department so as not to alter the unquestioned ability of such state agency or department to pursue any debt, obligation, or claim in any amount whatsoever.

In those instances where the commissioner makes a determination that further collection efforts would be detrimental to the public's financial interest, a certificate reflecting this determination shall be executed, and this certificate shall serve as the authority to remove such uncollectable accounts from the financial records of such state agency or department. Such certificates shall be forwarded to the state accounting officer in a manner and at such times as are reflected in the standards developed by the state accounting officer and the state agency or department."

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, whenever a municipality elects to purchase any such parks, the governing authority of the municipality shall provide written notice to the governing authority of the county specifying the parks to be purchased and the date or dates the municipality will assume ownership of such parks; the purchase price for such parks shall be

$100.00 per acre. Such notice shall be provided for each such park no less than 30 days prior to the date the municipality intends to assume ownership. (g) Upon the payment of the purchase price, all of the county's right, title, and interest in the parks that the municipality elects to purchase shall be transferred to the governing authority of the municipality. Such transfer shall be effective on the date the municipality intends to assume ownership of such parks and as stated in the notice given pursuant to subsection (f) of this Code section. The governing authority of the county shall transfer, execute, and deliver to the governing authority of the municipality such instruments as may be necessary to record the transfer of such right, title, and interest. Notwithstanding any provision in any property deed or law to the contrary, a municipality may purchase a park from the county without permission of the state and may use such park for all purposes for which the county was authorized under such deed or law. (h) In the event a park is transferred by a county to a municipality under this Code section, the municipality shall be prohibited from imposing or collecting user fees from residents of the county in excess of the amount of such fees imposed or collected from residents of the municipality. (i) Where residents of a municipality are required pursuant to Code Section 36-31-11 to continue to pay taxes for the purpose of retiring any special district debt created by the issuance of bonds by the county on behalf of the special district for the purpose of improving parks and the municipality elects to purchase any such park pursuant to this Code section, the county shall transfer to the municipality as an agent of the special district the portion of the bond proceeds that the county planned to spend on such park at the time of the referendum on the bonds, based upon any statements of intention or representations concerning use of the bond proceeds by the governing authority of the county. Such amount shall be determined based on county resolutions and any attachments thereto, staff recommendations, or similar documents presented at the time of passage of a resolution, county records, and any public statements or representations made by county managers, representatives, officials, or their agents as to the amount that would be spent on such park in order to solicit voter support for the referendum; provided, however, that the amount to be transferred by the county to the municipality shall be reduced by any amount spent by the county to improve such park prior to the date of the municipality's notice of its election to purchase the park as provided in subsection (f) of this Code section. The transfer shall be due within 30 days after the municipality assumes ownership of any such park. The municipality shall be required to expend any such funds for and on behalf of the special district in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of the issuance of the bonds. (j) A qualified municipality may elect to purchase one or more fire stations from the county in which it is located. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, whenever a qualified municipality elects to purchase a fire station from the county, the governing authority of the qualified municipality shall provide written notice to the governing authority of the county specifying the fire station to be purchased and the date or dates the qualified municipality will assume ownership of such fire station. Such notice shall

4776

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

be provided with respect to each such property no less than 30 days prior to the date the qualified municipality intends to assume ownership of the fire station.
(k)(1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, if a qualified municipality elects to purchase a fire station that serves only territory wholly within the qualified municipality, the purchase price shall be $5,000.00 for each such fire station. (2) If the county uses a fire station to serve an area located outside the qualified municipality, the purchase price for each such fire station shall be $5,000.00 plus an additional amount determined as provided in this paragraph. Such additional amount shall be the product of the fair market value of such fire station multiplied by the percentage of the total service area of such fire station which is located outside of the corporate limits of the qualified municipality. If the portion served outside the qualified municipality exceeds 20 percent of the total service area, then from the date the qualified municipality assumes ownership of such fire station, the qualified municipality shall be obligated to offer to lease the fire station back to the county for a period not to exceed two years for an amount of $10.00 for the lease period. (l) If a county and municipality fail to reach an agreement on the amount to be paid or any related matter under this Code section, either the county or the municipality may petition the superior court to seek resolution of the items in dispute. Such petition shall be assigned to a judge, pursuant to Code Section 15-1-9.1 or 15-6-13, who is not a judge in the circuit in which the county is located. The judge selected may also be a senior judge pursuant to Code Section 15-1-9.2 who resides in another circuit. The visiting or senior judge shall conduct an evidentiary hearing or hearings as such judge deems necessary and render a decision with regard to the disputed items."
SECTION 2. Said title is further amended by revising Code Section 36-75-11, relating to resolutions and referendums required prior to issuance of bonded indebtedness for new projects, as follows:
"36-75-11. (a) On and after May 24, 2007, no public safety and judicial facilities authority created and activated by a single county pursuant to this chapter shall be authorized to issue bonded indebtedness bonds for new projects unless a resolution approving such projects passed by a majority vote of the governing authority of the county that created and activated such authority was ratified by the electors of the county in a referendum. (b) If The proceeds of bonds issued by a public safety and judicial facilities authority created and activated by a single county pursuant to this chapter desires to fund multiple projects in a bond issue, such projects and any interest on such proceeds shall be ranked in the order they will be funded after approval by the governing authority and ratification by the electors under this Code section used only for the projects set forth in the resolution approving the issuance of such bonds or for debt service on such bonds. Such order of funding shall be binding on the public safety and judicial facilities

authority and such projects shall be funded in the order approved unless a different order is submitted to the governing authority for approval and electors for ratification. (c) Any authority other than the type of authority defined in paragraph (1) of Code Section 36-75-3:
(1) Which is authorized by general or local Act to operate and incur bonded indebtedness issue bonds in a single county that has activated or that activates a public safety and judicial facilities authority pursuant to this chapter; and (2) Which constructs or operates buildings or facilities for use by any department, agency, division, or commission of any county that has activated or that activates a public safety and judicial facilities authority pursuant to this chapter shall obtain approval by resolution and referendum as provided in this Code section prior to issuing bonds for any new buildings, or facilities, or real property or improvements to existing buildings, or facilities, or real property and shall be bound to such resolution as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section. (d) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Code section shall apply only to the issuance of bonds the principal and interest of which will be repaid, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, through funds of the county by agreement between the county and: (1) A public safety and judicial facilities authority created and activated pursuant to this chapter; or (2) Any authority other than the type of authority defined in paragraph (1) of Code Section 36-75-3 that meets the conditions set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (c) of this Code section.
