By Representatives Meadows of the 5th, Houston of the 170th, Smith of the 131st, Hembree of the 67th, Coleman of the 97th and others: A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Article 1 of Chapter 7 of Title 19 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for parent and child relationships generally, so as to modify provisions relating to grandparent visitation rights; to provide for an opportunity to seek grandparent visitation in cases where the parent is deceased, incapacitated, or incarcerated or otherwise unable to exercise his or her discretion regarding a decision to permit grandparent visitation; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT To amend Article 1 of Chapter 7 of Title 19 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for parent and child relationships generally, so as to modify provisions relating to grandparent visitation rights; to provide for an opportunity to seek grandparent visitation in cases where the parent is deceased, incapacitated, or incarcerated or otherwise unable to exercise his or her discretion regarding a decision to WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2197 permit grandparent visitation; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. Article 1 of Chapter 7 of Title 19 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for parent and child relationships generally, is amended by revising Code Section 19-7-3, relating to "grandparent" defined, original actions for visitation rights or intervention, revocation or amendment of visitation rights, appointment of guardian ad litem, mediation, and hearing, as follows: "19-7-3. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'grandparent' means the parent of a parent of a minor child, the parent of a minor child's parent who has died, and the parent of a minor child's parent whose parental rights have been terminated. (b)(1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, any grandparent shall have the right to file an original action for visitation rights to a minor child or to intervene in and seek to obtain visitation rights in any action in which any court in this state shall have before it any question concerning the custody of a minor child, a divorce of the parents or a parent of such minor child, a termination of the parental rights of either parent of such minor child, or visitation rights concerning such minor child or whenever there has been an adoption in which the adopted child has been adopted by the child's blood relative or by a stepparent, notwithstanding the provisions of Code Section 19-8-19. (2) This subsection shall not authorize an original action where the parents of the minor child are not separated and the child is living with both of the parents. (c)(1) Upon the filing of an original action or upon intervention in an existing proceeding under subsection (b) of this Code section, the court may grant any grandparent of the child reasonable visitation rights if the court finds the health or welfare of the child would be harmed unless such visitation is granted, and if the best interests of the child would be served by such visitation. In considering whether the health or welfare of the child would be harmed without such visitation, the court shall consider and may find that harm to the child is reasonably likely to result where, prior to the original action or intervention: (A) The minor child resided with the grandparent for six months or more; (B) The grandparent provided financial support for the basic needs of the child for at least one year; (C) There was an established pattern of regular visitation or child care by the grandparent with the child; or (D) Any other circumstance exists indicating that emotional or physical harm would be reasonably likely to result if such visitation is not granted. The court shall make specific written findings of fact in support of its rulings. There shall be no presumption in favor of visitation by any grandparent. 2198 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (2) An original action requesting visitation rights shall not be filed by any grandparent more than once during any two-year period and shall not be filed during any year in which another custody action has been filed concerning the child. After visitation rights have been granted to any grandparent, the legal custodian, guardian of the person, or parent of the child may petition the court for revocation or amendment of such visitation rights, for good cause shown, which the court, in its discretion, may grant or deny; but such a petition shall not be filed more than once in any two-year period. (3) While a parent's decision regarding grandparent visitation shall be given deference by the court, the parent's decision shall not be conclusive when failure to provide grandparent contact would result in emotional harm to the child. A court may presume that a child who is denied any contact with his or her grandparent or who is not provided some minimal opportunity for contact with his or her grandparent may suffer emotional injury that is harmful to such child's health. Such presumption shall be a rebuttable presumption. (4) In no case shall the granting of visitation rights to a grandparent interfere with a child's school or regularly scheduled extracurricular activities. Visitation time awarded to a grandparent shall not be less than 24 hours in any one-month period. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section, if one of the parents of a minor child dies, is incapacitated, or is incarcerated, the court may award the parent of the deceased, incapacitated, or incarcerated parent of such minor child reasonable visitation to such child during his or her minority if the court in its discretion finds that such visitation would be in the best interests of the child. The custodial parent's judgment as to the best interests of the child regarding visitation shall be given deference by the court but shall not be conclusive. (d)(e) If the court finds that the grandparent or grandparents can bear the cost without unreasonable financial hardship, the court, at the sole expense of the petitioning grandparent or grandparents, may: (1) Appoint a guardian ad litem for the minor child; and (2) Assign the issue of visitation rights of a grandparent for mediation. (e)(f) In the event that the court does not order mediation or upon failure of the parties to reach an agreement through mediation, the court shall fix a time for the hearing of the issue of visitation rights of the grandparent or grandparents. (g) Whether or not visitation is awarded to a grandparent, the court may direct a custodial parent, by court order, to notify such grandparent of every performance of the minor child to which the public is admitted, including, but not limited to, musical concerts, graduations, recitals, and sporting events or games." SECTION 2. 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.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. Article 7 of Chapter 7 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to setoff debt collection, is amended in Code Section 48-7-161, relating to definitions relative to the setoff of debt collection, by revising paragraph (1) as follows: "(1) 'Claimant agency' means and includes, in the order of priority set forth below: (A) The Department of Human Services and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities with respect to collection of debts under Article 1 of Chapter 11 of Title 19, Code Section 49-4-15, and Chapter 9 of Title 37; (B) The Georgia Student Finance Authority with respect to the collection of debts arising under Part 3 of Article 7 of Chapter 3 of Title 20; (C) The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation with respect to the collection of debts arising under Part 2 of Article 7 of Chapter 3 of Title 20; (D) The Georgia Board for Physician Workforce with respect to the collection of debts arising under Part 6 of Article 7 of Chapter 3 of Title 20; 2516 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (E) The Department of Labor with respect to the collection of debts arising under Code Sections 34-8-254 and 34-8-255 and Article 5 of Chapter 8 of Title 34, with the exception of Code Sections 34-8-158 through 34-8-161; provided, however, that the Department of Labor establishes that the debtor has been afforded required due process rights by such Department of Labor with respect to the debt and all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted; (F) The Department of Corrections with respect to probation fees arising under Code Section 42-8-34 and restitution or reparation ordered by a court as a part of the sentence imposed on a person convicted of a crime who is in the legal custody of the department; (G) The State Board of Pardons and Paroles with respect to restitution imposed on a person convicted of a crime and subject to the jurisdiction of the board; and (H) The Department of Juvenile Justice with respect to restitution imposed on a juvenile for a delinquent act which would constitute a crime if committed by an adult; and (I) Public housing authorities with respect to the collection of debt related to occupying public housing; provided, however, that the public housing authority establishes that the debtor has been afforded required due process rights by the public housing authority with respect to the debt and all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. This subparagraph shall apply only to a debt owed by an occupant of public housing who has moved from the property." SECTION 2. Said article is further amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: "48-7-171. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Code section, all procedures and requirements of this article shall apply with respect to public housing authorities. (b) Public housing authorities may submit for collection under the procedure established by this Code section all delinquent debts which they are owed. (c) All public housing authorities, whenever possible, shall obtain the full name, social security number, address, and any other identifying information, required by regulations promulgated by the department for implementation of this Code section, from any person for whom the public housing authorities provide any service or transact any business and who the public housing authorities can foresee may become a debtor under the terms of this Code section. All public housing authorities shall send the information collected regarding debtors to the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities. The Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities shall compile the data in a format to be specified by the department and forward the data to the department according to a schedule determined by the department. (d) A debtor who protests the debt shall file a written protest with the claimant agency at the address provided in the public housing authority's notification of intention to set off. The protest must be filed within 30 days of the date of the notice of intention to set WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2517 off and must contain the debtor's name, address, and tax identification number, identify the type of debt in dispute, and give a detailed statement of all the reasons that support the protest. The requirements of this subsection are jurisdictional. (e) To recover costs incurred by the department pursuant to this subsection, an administrative fee, not to exceed $25.00, shall be added to the debt by the public housing authority. (f) Before submitting a debt to the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities, the public housing authority shall appoint a hearing officer to hear a protest of a debtor. This hearing officer is vested with the authority to decide a protest in favor of either the debtor or the public housing authority. The public housing authority shall certify to the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities, on a form prescribed by the department, that a hearing officer has been appointed and shall inform the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities of the name, address, and telephone number of the hearing officer. If this hearing officer is unable to serve at any time, the public housing authority shall appoint another hearing officer. (g) Upon receipt of a notice of protest, the public housing authority shall notify the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities that a protest has been received and shall hold an informal hearing at which the debtor may present evidence, documents, and testimony to dispute the debt. The public housing authority shall notify the debtor of the date, time, and location of the informal hearing. At the conclusion of the informal hearing the officer shall render his or her determination. Upon receipt of a sworn certification from the hearing officer that he or she held an informal hearing and ruled in favor of the public housing authority, the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities may proceed to collect the delinquent debt regardless of a subsequent appeal by the debtor. (h) A debtor may seek relief from the hearing officer's determination by requesting, within 30 days of the determination, a contested case hearing before an administrative law judge. A request for a hearing before an administrative law judge must be made in accordance with the rules of said judges. (i) If a portion of the delinquent debt is collected by the department and the determination of the hearing officer in favor of the public housing authority is later reversed or the debtor prevails in a claim for refund, the public housing authority shall refund the appropriate amount to the taxpayer, including the appropriate amount of the fee. That portion of the refund reflecting the department's fee must be paid from public housing authority funds. If the public housing authority is found to be entitled to a portion of an amount collected by set off, it is not required to refund the setoff fee retained by the department. (j) If a refund is retained in error, the public housing authority shall pay to the taxpayer interest calculated as provided in Code Section 48-2-35 from the date provided by law after which interest is paid on refunds until the appeal is final. 2518 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (k) If the public housing authority determines that money has been erroneously or illegally collected, the public housing authority, in its discretion, may issue a refund, even if the debtor does not file a protest or file a claim for refund. (l) A collection may not be contested more than one year after the date it was made. The date of collection must be conclusively determined by the department. This provision shall be construed as a statute of repose and not as a statute of limitation. (m) A debtor may make a claim for refund of an amount collected pursuant to this Code section within one year from the date the amount is collected, in the same manner as seeking relief from a hearing officer's determination pursuant to this Code section. (n) This Code section does not create a right to jury trial where one does not already exist. When a debtor otherwise is entitled to have a jury determine the issue of indebtedness, that right is preserved specifically. If a right to a jury trial already exists and the debtor wishes to exercise that right, the debtor is not required to request a contested case hearing before an administrative law judge but instead must file in the appropriate superior court and serve the pleadings on the public housing authority within 30 days from the date of the hearing officer's determination. The complaint must name the public housing authority as a defendant and the allegations of the complaint must contest the debt and any potential setoff. (o) Public housing authorities shall indemnify the department against any injuries, actions, liabilities, or proceedings arising from performance under the provisions of this Code section."

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT To amend Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to imposition, computation, and exemptions from state income tax, so as to provide for the comprehensive revision of income tax credits for business enterprises located in less developed areas, designated by tiers, for business enterprises located in less developed areas consisting of contiguous census tracts, for existing manufacturing and telecommunications facilities located in certain tier counties, and for establishing new quality jobs or relocating quality jobs; to provide for procedures, conditions, and limitations; to change certain provisions so as to correct certain cross-references; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to provide that this Act shall not abate or affect prosecutions, punishments, penalties, administrative proceedings or remedies, or civil actions related to certain violations; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to imposition, computation, and exemptions from state income tax, is amended by revising subsections (a), (e), (f), (h), and (l) of Code Section 48-7-40, relating to designation of counties as less developed areas, as follows: "(a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Broadcasting' means the transmission or licensing of audio, video, text, or other programming content to the general public, subscribers, or to third parties via radio, television, cable, satellite, or the Internet or Internet Protocol and includes motion picture and sound recording, editing, production, postproduction, and distribution.

(2) 'Business enterprise' means any business or the headquarters of any such business which is engaged in manufacturing, including, but not limited to, the manufacturing of alternative energy products for use in solar, wind, battery, bioenergy, biofuel, and WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2535 electric vehicle enterprises, warehousing and distribution, processing, telecommunications, broadcasting, tourism, research and development industries, biomedical manufacturing, and services for the elderly and persons with disabilities. Such term shall not include retail businesses. Businesses are eligible for the tax credit provided by this Code section at an individual establishment of the business based on the classification of the individual establishment under the North American Industry Classification System. For purposes of this Code section, the term 'establishment' means an economic unit at a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. If more than one business activity is conducted at the establishment, then only those jobs engaged in the qualifying activity will be eligible for the tax credit provided by this Code section. (3) 'Competitive project' means expansion or location of some or all of a business enterprise's operations in this state having significant regional impact where the commissioner of economic development certifies that but for some or all of the tax incentives provided in this Code section, the business enterprise would have located or expanded outside this state. (4) 'Existing business enterprise' means any business or the headquarters of any such business which has operated for the immediately preceding three years a facility in this state which is engaged in manufacturing, including, but not limited to, the manufacturing of alternative energy products for use in solar, wind, battery, bioenergy, biofuel, and electric vehicle enterprises, warehousing and distribution, processing, telecommunications, broadcasting, tourism, biomedical manufacturing, or research and development industries. Such term shall not include retail businesses. Businesses are eligible for the tax credit provided by this Code section at an individual establishment of the business based on the classification of the individual establishment under the North American Industry Classification System. For purposes of this Code section, the term 'establishment' means an economic unit at a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. If more than one business activity is conducted at the establishment, then only those jobs engaged in the qualifying activity will be eligible for the tax credit provided by this Code section. (5) 'New full-time employee job' means a newly created position of employment that was not previously located in this state, requires a minimum of 35 hours a week, and pays at or above the average wage earned in the county with the lowest average wage earned in this state, as reported in the most recently available annual issue of the Georgia Employment and Wages Averages Report of the Department of Labor." "(e)(1) Business enterprises in counties designated by the commissioner of community affairs as tier 1 counties shall be allowed a tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $3,500.00 annually per eligible new full-time employee job for five years beginning with the first taxable year in which the new full-time employee job is created and for the four immediately succeeding taxable years; provided, however, that where the amount of such credit exceeds a business enterprise's liability for such taxes in a taxable year, the excess may be taken as a 2536 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 but not to exceed in any one taxable year $3,500.00 for each new full-time employee job when aggregated with the credit applied against taxes under this article. Each employee whose employer receives credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this paragraph. Credits against quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 and credits against liability under Code Section 48-7-20 established by this paragraph shall not constitute income to the taxpayer. Business enterprises in counties designated by the commissioner of community affairs as tier 2 counties shall be allowed a job tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $2,500.00 annually, business enterprises in counties designated by the commissioner of community affairs as tier 3 counties shall be allowed a job tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $1,250.00 annually, and business enterprises in counties designated by the commissioner of community affairs as tier 4 counties shall be allowed a job tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $750.00 annually for each new full-time employee job for five years beginning with the first taxable year in which the new full-time employee job is created and for the four immediately succeeding taxable years. Where a business enterprise is engaged in a competitive project located in a county designated by the commissioner of community affairs as a tier 2 county and where the amount of the credit provided in this paragraph exceeds such business enterprise's liability for taxes imposed under this article in a taxable year, or where a business enterprise is engaged in a competitive project located in a county designated by the commissioner of community affairs as a tier 3 or tier 4 county and where the amount of the credit provided in this paragraph exceeds 50 percent of such business enterprise's liability for taxes imposed under this article in a taxable year, the excess may be taken as a credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 but not to exceed in any one taxable year $2,500.00 for each new full-time employee job when aggregated with the credit applied against taxes under this article. Each employee whose employer receives credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this paragraph. Credits against quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 and credits against liability under Code Section 48-7-20 established by this paragraph shall not constitute income to the taxpayer. The number of new full-time employee jobs shall be determined by comparing the monthly average number of full-time employees subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with the corresponding period of the prior taxable year. In tier 1 counties, those business enterprises that increase employment by five two or more WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2537 shall be eligible for the credit. In tier 2 counties, only those business enterprises that increase employment by ten or more shall be eligible for the credit. In tier 3 counties, only those business enterprises that increase employment by 15 or more shall be eligible for the credit. In tier 4 counties, only those business enterprises that increase employment by 25 or more shall be eligible for the credit. The average wage of the new jobs created must be above the average wage of the county that has the lowest average wage of any county in the state to qualify as reported in the most recently available annual issue of the Georgia Employment and Wages Averages Report of the Department of Labor. To qualify for a credit under this paragraph, the employer must make health insurance coverage available to the employee filling the new full-time employee job; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require the employer to pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for such an employee in order to claim the credit provided for in this paragraph if such employer does not pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for other employees. Credit shall not be allowed during a year if the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier. In any year in which the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier, the taxpayer shall forfeit the right to the credit claimed for that taxable year. For the year that the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier, a taxpayer that forfeits such right is therefore liable for all past taxes imposed by this article for that taxable year and all past payments under Code Section 48-7-103 for that taxable year that were foregone by the state as a result of the credits provided by this Code section; provided, however, that Code Section 48-2-40 shall not apply to any such forfeiture. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed each year for net new employment fluctuations above the minimum level of the number required in such tier. (2) Existing business enterprises shall be allowed an additional tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $500.00 per eligible new full-time employee job the first year in which the new full-time employee job is created. The additional credit shall be claimed in the first taxable year in which the new full-time employee job is created. The number of new full-time employee jobs shall be determined by comparing the monthly average number of full-time employees subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with the corresponding period of the prior taxable year. In tier 1 counties, those existing business enterprises that increase employment by five or more shall be eligible for the credit. In tier 2 counties, only those existing business enterprises that increase employment by ten or more shall be eligible for the credit. In tier 3 counties, only those existing business enterprises that increase employment by 15 or more shall be eligible for the credit. In tier 4 counties, only those existing business enterprises that increase employment by 25 or more shall be eligible for the credit. The average wage of the new jobs created must be above the average wage of the county that has the lowest average wage of any county in the state to qualify as reported in the most recently available annual issue of the Georgia Employment and Wages Averages Report of the Department of Labor. To qualify for 2538 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE a credit under this paragraph, the employer must make health insurance coverage available to the employee filling the new full-time job; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require the employer to pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for such an employee in order to claim the credit provided for in this paragraph if such employer does not pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for other employees. Credit shall not be allowed during a year if the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier. Any credit generated and utilized for years prior to the year in which the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier shall not be affected. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed each year for net new employment fluctuations above the minimum level of the number required in such tier. This paragraph shall apply only to new eligible full-time jobs created in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, and ending no later than taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2011. (f) Tax credits for four five years for the taxes imposed under this article shall be awarded for additional new full-time employee jobs created by business enterprises qualified under subsection (b), (c), or (c.1) of this Code section. Additional new fulltime employee jobs shall be determined by subtracting the highest total employment of the business enterprise during years two through five, or whatever portion of years two through five which has been completed, from the total increased employment. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed in the event of employment fluctuations during the five years of credit." "(h)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, any Any credit claimed under this Code section but not used in any taxable year may be carried forward for ten years from the close of the taxable year in which the qualified jobs were established, subject to forfeiture as provided in paragraph (1) of subsection (e) of this Code section, but in tiers 3 and 4 the credit established by this Code section taken in any one taxable year shall be limited to an amount not greater than 50 percent of the taxpayer's state income tax liability which is attributable to income derived from operations in this state for that taxable year. In tier 1 and 2 counties, the credit allowed under this Code section against taxes imposed under this article in any taxable year shall be limited to an amount not greater than 100 percent of the taxpayer's state income tax liability attributable to income derived from operations in this state for such taxable year. (2) The additional credit claimed by an existing business enterprise pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of this Code section must be applied against taxes imposed for the taxable year in which such credit is available and may not be carried forward to any subsequent taxable year." "(l) Taxpayers that initially claimed the credit under this Code section for any taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009 2012, shall be governed, for purposes of all such credits claimed as well as any credits claimed in subsequent taxable years related to such initial claim, by this Code section as it was in effect for the taxable year in which the taxpayer made such initial claim." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2539 SECTION 2. Said article is further amended by revising subsections (a), (e), (f), and (j) of Code Section 48-7-40.1, relating to tax credits for business enterprises located in less developed areas, as follows: "(a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Broadcasting' means the transmission or licensing of audio, video, text, or other programming content to the general public, subscribers, or to third parties via radio, television, cable, satellite, or the Internet or Internet Protocol and includes motion picture and sound recording, editing, production, postproduction, and distribution. 'Broadcasting' is limited to establishments classified under the 2007 North American Industry Classification System Codes 515, broadcasting; 519, Internet publishing and broadcasting; 517, telecommunications; and 512, motion picture and sound recording industries. (2) 'Business enterprise' means any business or the headquarters of any such business which is engaged in manufacturing, including, but not limited to, the manufacturing of alternative energy products for use in solar, wind, battery, bioenergy, biofuel, and electric vehicle enterprises, warehousing and distribution, processing, telecommunications, broadcasting, tourism, biomedical manufacturing, and research and development industries. Such term shall not include retail businesses. Businesses are eligible for the tax credit provided by this Code section at an individual establishment of the business based on the classification of the individual establishment under the North American Industry Classification System. For purposes of this Code section, the term 'establishment' means an economic unit at a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. If more than one business activity is conducted at the establishment, then only those jobs engaged in the qualifying activity will be eligible for the tax credit provided by this Code section." "(e) Business enterprises in areas designated by the commissioner of community affairs as less developed areas shall be allowed a job tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $3,500.00 annually per eligible new full-time employee job for five years beginning with the first taxable year in which the new full-time employee job is created and for the four immediately succeeding taxable years; provided, however, that where the amount of such credit exceeds a business enterprise's liability for such taxes in a taxable year, the excess may be taken as a credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 but not to exceed in any one taxable year $3,500.00 for each new full-time employee job when aggregated with the credit applied against taxes under this article. Each employee whose employer receives credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this subsection. Credits against quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 and credits 2540 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE against liability under Code Section 48-7-20 established by this subsection shall not constitute income to the taxpayer. The number of new full-time jobs shall be determined by comparing the monthly average number of full-time employees subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with the corresponding period of the prior taxable year. Only those business enterprises that increase employment by five or more in a less developed area shall be eligible for the credit; provided, however, that within areas of pervasive poverty as designated under paragraphs (2) and (4) of subsection (c) of this Code section businesses shall only have to increase employment by two or more jobs in order to be eligible for the credit, provided that, if a business only increases employment by two jobs, the persons hired for such jobs shall not be married to one another. The average wage of the new jobs created must be above the average wage of the county that has the lowest wage of any county in the state to qualify as reported in the most recently available annual issue of the Georgia Employment and Wages Averages Report of the Department of Labor. To qualify for a credit under this subsection, the employer must make health insurance coverage available to the employee filling the new full-time job; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the employer to pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for such an employee in order to claim the credit provided for in this subsection if such employer does not pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for other employees. Credit shall not be allowed during a year if the net employment increase falls below five or two, as applicable. In any year in which the net employment increase falls below five or two, as applicable, the taxpayer shall forfeit the right to the credit claimed for that taxable year. For the year that the net employment increase falls below five or two, as applicable, a taxpayer that forfeits such right is therefore liable for all past taxes imposed by this article for that taxable year and all past payments under Code Section 48-7-103 for that taxable year that were foregone by the state as a result of the credits provided by this Code section; provided, however that Code Section 48-2-40 shall not apply to any such forfeiture. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed each year for net new employment fluctuations above the minimum level of five or two. (f) Tax credits for four five years for the taxes imposed under this article shall be awarded for additional new full-time employee jobs created by business enterprises qualified under subsection (b) or (c) of this Code section. Additional new full-time employee jobs shall be determined by subtracting the highest total employment of the business enterprise during years two through five, or whatever portion of years two through five which has been completed, from the total increased employment. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed in the event of employment fluctuations during the additional five years of credit." "(j) Taxpayers that initially claimed the credit under this Code section for any taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009 2012, shall be governed, for purposes of all such credits claimed as well as any credits claimed in subsequent taxable years related to such initial claim, by this Code section as it was in effect for the taxable year in which the taxpayer made such initial claim." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2541 SECTION 3.

Each employee whose employer receives credit against such taxpayer's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive a credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this subsection.

SECTION 5. Said article is further amended by revising Code Section 48-7-40.17, relating to establishing or relocating headquarters and tax credit, as follows: "48-7-40.17. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2545 (1) 'Average wage' means the average wage of the county in which a new quality job is located as reported in the most recently available annual issue of the Georgia Employment and Wages Averages Report of the Department of Labor. (2) 'New quality job' means employment for an individual which: (A) Is located in this state; (B) Has a regular work week of 30 hours or more; (C) Is not a job that is or was already located in Georgia regardless of which taxpayer the individual performed services for; and (D) Pays at or above 110 percent of the average wage of the county in which it is located; and (E) Has no predetermined end date. (b) A taxpayer establishing new quality jobs in this state or relocating quality jobs into this state which elects not to receive the tax credits provided for by Code Sections 48-740, 48-7-40.1, 48-7-40.2, 48-7-40.3, 48-7-40.4, 48-7-40.7, 48-7-40.8, and 48-7-40.9 for such jobs and investments created by, arising from, related to, or connected in any way with the same project and, within one year of the first date on which the taxpayer pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 48-7-101 withholds wages for employees in this state and employs at least 50 persons in new quality jobs in this state, shall be allowed a credit for taxes imposed under this article: (1) Equal to $2,500.00 annually per eligible new quality job where the job pays 110 percent or more but less than 120 percent of the average wage of the county in which the new quality job is located; (2) Equal to $3,000.00 annually per eligible new quality job where the job pays 120 percent or more but less than 150 percent of the average wage of the county in which the new quality job is located; (3) Equal to $4,000.00 annually per eligible new quality job where the job pays 150 percent or more but less than 175 percent of the average wage of the county in which the new quality job is located; (4) Equal to $4,500.00 annually per eligible new quality job where the job pays 175 percent or more but less than 200 percent of the average wage of the county in which the new quality job is located; and (5) Equal to $5,000.00 annually per eligible new quality job where the job pays 200 percent or more of the average wage of the county in which the new quality job is located; provided, however, that where the amount of such credit exceeds a taxpayer's liability for such taxes in a taxable year, the excess may be taken as a credit against such taxpayer's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 but not to exceed in any one taxable year the credit amounts in paragraphs (1) through (5) of this subsection for each new quality job when aggregated with the credit applied against taxes under this article. Each employee whose employer receives credit against such taxpayer's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive a credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such 2546 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this subsection. Credits against quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 and credits against liability under Code Section 48-7-20 established by this subsection shall not constitute income to the taxpayer. For each new quality job created, the credit established by this subsection may be taken for the first taxable year in which the new quality job is created and for the four immediately succeeding taxable years; provided, however, that such new quality jobs must be created within seven years from the close of the taxable year in which the taxpayer first becomes eligible for such credit. Credit shall not be allowed during a year if the net employment increase falls below the 50 new quality jobs required. Any credit received for years prior to the year in which the net employment increase falls below the 50 new quality jobs required shall not be affected except as provided in subsection (f) of this Code section. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed each year for net new employment fluctuations above the 50 new quality jobs required. (c) The number of new quality jobs to which this Code section shall be applicable shall be determined by comparing the monthly average of new quality jobs subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with the corresponding average for the prior taxable year. (d) Any credit claimed under this Code section but not used in any taxable year may be carried forward for ten years from the close of the taxable year in which the new quality jobs were established. (e) Notwithstanding Code Section 48-2-35, any tax credit claimed under this Code section shall be claimed within one year of the earlier of the date the original return was filed or the date such return was due as prescribed in subsection (a) of Code Section 487-56, including any approved extensions. (f) If the taxpayer has failed to maintain a new quality job in a taxable year, the taxpayer shall forfeit the right to the credit claimed for such job in that year. For each year such new quality job is not maintained, a taxpayer that forfeits such right is therefore liable for all past taxes imposed by this article for that taxable year and all past payments under Code Section 48-7-103 for that taxable year that were foregone by the state as a result of the credits provided by this Code section; provided, however, that Code Section 48-2-40 shall not apply to any such forfeiture. (g) Taxpayers that initially claimed the credit under this Code section for any taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009 2012, shall be governed, for purposes of all such credits claimed as well as any credits claimed in subsequent taxable years related to such initial claim, by this Code section as it was in effect for the taxable year in which the taxpayer made such initial claim. (h)(g) The state revenue commissioner shall promulgate any rules and regulations necessary to implement and administer this Code section." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2547 SECTION 6. (a) This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval and shall be applicable to all taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. (b) Tax, penalty, and interest liabilities and refund eligibility for prior taxable years shall not be affected by the passage of this Act and shall continue to be governed by the provisions of general law as it existed immediately prior to January 1, 2012. (c) This Act shall not abate any prosecution, punishment, penalty, administrative proceedings or remedies, or civil action related to any violation of law committed prior to January 1, 2012.

This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Georgia Tax Tribunal Act of 2012.' 50-13A-2. The General Assembly finds that there is a need for an independent specialized agency separate and apart from the Department of Revenue to resolve disputes between the department and taxpayers in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Once appointed, each initial tribunal judge shall continue in office until his or her term expires and a successor has been appointed and confirmed. Initial tribunal judges may be reappointed for successive terms, provided that each successive term shall be for four years. (c) After initial appointments are made pursuant to subsection (b) of this Code section, all appointments and reappointments of the chief tribunal judge and other tribunal judges shall be made by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate, for terms of four years.

(a) The tribunal's principal location shall be located in Fulton County, Georgia, and in a building that is separate and apart from any building in which the commissioner has an office.

(a) Actions may be commenced before the tribunal on and after January 1, 2013. Actions before the tribunal shall be commenced by filing a petition with the tribunal, naming the commissioner as respondent in his or her official capacity, within the time periods prescribed by Code Section 48-2-18, 48-2-35, 48-2-59, 48-6-7, or 48-6-76 or subparagraph (d)(2)(C) of Code Section 48-7-31, as the case may be, or as otherwise provided by law.

The commissioner and any other respondents shall serve a copy of their response on the petitioner's representative or, if the petitioner is not represented, on the petitioner, and shall file a certificate of such service with the response. If in any case a response has not been filed within the time required by this subsection, the case shall automatically become in default unless the time for filing the response has been extended by agreement of the parties, for a period not to exceed 30 days, or by the judge of the tribunal. The default may be opened as a matter of right by the filing of a response within 15 days of the day of default and payment of costs. At any time before final judgment, the judge of the tribunal, in his or her discretion, may allow the default to be opened for providential cause that prevented the filing of the response or for excusable neglect or when the tribunal judge, from all the facts, determines that a proper case has been made for the default to be opened on terms to be fixed by the tribunal judge. (c) Pleadings and proceedings before the tribunal shall be subject to the amendment and supplementation provisions of Code Section 9-11-15.

(f) The tribunal judge may remand a matter in dispute to the commissioner for further consideration upon motion by all parties to the proceeding, for good cause shown on the motion of any party, or sua sponte when the tribunal judge reasonably determines that circumstances warrant. Any such remand shall not divest the tribunal of jurisdiction, and the tribunal judge's order shall provide that any party, upon appropriate advance notice to all other parties, shall be entitled to have such matter returned to the tribunal for resolution. (g) Contested cases pending before the Office of State Administrative Hearings on and before December 31, 2012, and cases when the taxpayer made a written demand for a hearing pursuant to Code Section 50-13-12 before January 1, 2013, shall not be transferred to the tribunal. If, on and after January 1, 2013, a written petition for relief or a demand for hearing is filed with the commissioner or by the affected party directly with the Office of State Administrative Hearings in a matter falling within the tribunal's jurisdiction under subsection (a) of Code Section 50-13A-9, such matter shall be transferred to the tribunal, and the remaining provisions of this chapter shall be applicable. 50-13A-11. (a) Except as provided for in Code Section 48-2-51, involving jeopardy assessments, the filing of a petition with the tribunal shall operate as a stay of any enforcement or collection action by the commissioner with respect to any tax, penalty, interest, or any collection costs that are disputed in the petition until the tribunal decision is finalized, including appeals to the superior court pursuant to Code Section 50-13A-17 or to any appellate court.

(a) The provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 9, the 'Georgia Civil Practice Act,' governing discovery and depositions shall apply to proceedings before the tribunal; provided, 2562 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE however, that the parties to a proceeding shall make every effort to conduct discovery by informal consultation or communication. Upon motion of a party, the frequency or extent of formal discovery methods may be limited by the tribunal if it determines that the discovery is unduly burdensome or expensive when taking into account the amount in controversy, limitations on the parties' resources, and the importance of the issues at stake in the litigation. (b) The chief tribunal judge shall, by rules and regulations or by order in a particular proceeding, prescribe the period during which any discovery shall be commenced and completed. After the period for completing discovery has expired, or earlier as the parties may agree, the parties to a proceeding shall stipulate all relevant and nonprivileged matters to the fullest extent to which complete or qualified agreement can be reached or fairly should be reached. Neither the existence nor the use of the discovery mechanisms authorized by this Code section shall excuse failure to comply with this provision. (c)(1) A party shall disclose to other parties at a reasonable time prior to the hearing the identity of any person who may be called at trial to present expert testimony. (2) Except as otherwise stipulated or directed by the tribunal judge, expert witness disclosure shall, with respect to a witness who is retained or specially employed to provide expert testimony in the case or whose duties as an employee of the party regularly involve giving expert testimony, be accompanied by a written report prepared and signed by the witness if one has been prepared or will be offered at the hearing. (d) A judge or the clerk of the tribunal, on the request of any party to the proceeding, shall issue subpoenas requiring the attendance of witnesses and giving of testimony and subpoenas requiring the production of evidence or things.

(f) Any witness who is subpoenaed or whose deposition is taken shall receive the same fees and mileage as a witness in a superior court of this state. (g) In proceedings before the tribunal, if any party or an agent or employee of a party disobeys or resists any lawful order of process; neglects to produce, after having been ordered to do so, any pertinent book, paper, or document; refuses to appear after having been subpoenaed; upon appearing, refuses to take the oath or affirmation as a witness; or, after taking the oath or affirmation, refuses to testify, the tribunal judge shall have the same rights and powers given any other court under Chapter 11 of Title 9, the 'Georgia Civil Practice Act.' If any person or party refuses as specified in this subsection, the tribunal judge may certify the facts to the superior court of the county where the offense is committed for appropriate action, including a finding of contempt. 50-13A-14. (a) Trials in proceedings before the tribunal shall be de novo and without a jury. Hearings shall be open to the public, but on motion of any party, if such party shows WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2563 good cause to protect certain information from being disclosed to the public, the tribunal judge may issue a protective order or an order closing part or all of a hearing to the public. (b) The tribunal shall take evidence, and the tribunal judges shall conduct hearings and issue final judgments and interlocutory orders. (c) The tribunal judges shall apply the rules of evidence as applied in the trial of civil nonjury cases in the superior courts; provided, however, that for hearings conducted in the small claims division, the tribunal judge may, when necessary to ascertain facts not reasonably susceptible of proof under such rules, consider evidence not otherwise admissible thereunder if it is of a type commonly relied upon by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. (d) Testimony before a tribunal judge shall be given only on oath or affirmation. (e) The petition and other pleadings in the proceeding shall be deemed to conform to the proof presented at the hearing, unless a party satisfies the tribunal judge that presentation of the evidence would unfairly prejudice the party in maintaining its position on the merits or unless deeming the taxpayer's petition to conform to the proof would confer jurisdiction on the tribunal over a matter that would not otherwise come within the tribunal's jurisdiction. (f) Except for hearings conducted in the small claims division of the tribunal as provided in Code Section 50-13A-16, all hearings before the tribunal shall be recorded by means acceptable for use in courts of this state. 50-13A-15. (a) Except with regard to proceedings in the small claims division of the tribunal pursuant to Code Section 50-13A-16, the tribunal judge shall render all final judgments and interlocutory orders in writing, as appropriate, including therein a concise statement of the facts found and the conclusions of law reached. The tribunal judge's final judgment or interlocutory order shall, subject to law, grant such relief, invoke such remedies, and issue such orders as the tribunal judge deems appropriate to carry out its final judgment or interlocutory order. (b) The chief tribunal judge shall adopt rules and regulations to address confidentiality of taxpayer information and proceedings before the tribunal. (c) The tribunal judges shall adhere to the principle of stare decisis. The tribunal judge's interpretation of a tax statute subject to contest in one case shall be followed by the tribunal in subsequent cases involving the same statute, and its application of a statute to the facts of one case shall be followed by tribunal judges in subsequent cases involving similar facts, unless the tribunal judge's interpretation or application conflicts with that of an appellate court or the tribunal judge provides satisfactory reasons for departing from prior precedent. (d) Except as to a final judgment of the small claims division, all other final judgments of the tribunal shall be indexed and published in such print or electronic form as the chief tribunal judge deems best adapted for public convenience. Such publications shall be made permanently available and constitute the official reports of the tribunal. 2564 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 50-13A-16. (a) There is hereby established a small claims division of the tribunal. (b) Judges of the tribunal shall sit as the judges of the small claims division. (c) Within 90 days of filing a petition pursuant to the Code Section 50-13A-9, a taxpayer may elect to have the small claims division have jurisdiction over any proceeding with respect to which the amount of tax and penalties in controversy, exclusive of interest, is less than a threshold amount determined by the rules of the tribunal. A taxpayer may not revoke such election to proceed in the small claims division after this 90 day period. For good cause, the tribunal judge may, on his or her own motion or on the motion of a party to the case, remove a case from the small claims division. (d) In proceedings before the small claims division of the tribunal, accountants and other tax return preparers designated by the taxpayer shall be permitted to accompany and appear with the taxpayer in order to provide factual information regarding positions taken on tax returns prepared by such accountant or other tax return preparer. An accountant or tax return preparer accompanying and appearing with a taxpayer for this purpose shall not be deemed to be acting as an advocate of the taxpayer or representing the taxpayer before the tribunal. (e) At any time prior to entry of judgment, a taxpayer may dismiss a proceeding in the small claims division by notifying the clerk of the tribunal in writing. Such dismissal shall be without prejudice. (f) Hearings in the small claims division shall be conducted in a manner consistent with proceedings before magistrate courts, as specified in Article 3 of Chapter 10 of Title 15. The tribunal judge may receive such evidence as the judge deems appropriate for determination of the case. Testimony shall be given under oath or affirmation. (g) A judgment of the small claims division shall be conclusive upon all parties and may not be appealed. A judgment of the small claims division shall not be considered or cited as precedent in any other case, hearing, or proceeding. 50-13A-17. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'reviewing court' means the Superior Court of Fulton County. (b) Any party may appeal a final judgment of the tribunal, except for judgments of the small claims division, to the reviewing court. Proceedings for judicial review shall be instituted by filing a petition with the reviewing court within 30 days after the service of the tribunal's final judgment or, if a rehearing is requested, within 30 days after the decision thereon. Copies of the petition for judicial review shall be served upon the tribunal and all parties of record.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2597 The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT To amend Code Section 48-6-73 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to reports and distributions of intangible recording taxes, so as to change certain provisions relating to population brackets and the census relative to the commission on the collection of intangible recording taxes; provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. Code Section 48-6-73 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to reports and distributions of intangible recording taxes, is amended as follows: "48-6-73. Each collecting officer shall make a report to the commissioner by the tenth day of each month on forms prescribed by the commissioner of all sums collected and remitted under this article for the preceding month. The collecting officer shall retain 6 percent of the tax collected as compensation for said such officer's services in collecting the tax. All such taxes shall be deemed to have been collected by the collecting officer in said such officer's official capacity. Failure to collect and distribute the tax as provided by law shall constitute a breach of the official duty and of the official bond of the collecting officer. In each county in which the collecting officer is on a salary, the 6 percent commission allowed by this Code section shall be paid into the county treasury and shall become county property. The long-term notes secured by real property upon which this tax is based shall not be placed upon the property tax digest prepared and maintained by the tax receiver. It is the intention of the General Assembly that the 6 percent commission permitted under this article for the collection and distribution of this tax by the collecting officer shall be the only compensation permitted to any collecting officer with respect to this tax. In counties having a population of more than 650,000 at least 690,000 but not more than 700,000 and counties having a population of at least 900,000 according to the United States decennial census of 2000 2010 or any future such census, however, the commission allowed under this article as compensation to the collecting officer shall be 4 percent."

For the period beginning January 1, 2002, and ending June 30, 2002; and for each fiscal year commencing thereafter until December 31, 2008, no more than fiftyfive percent (55%) of the proceeds of the tax shall be used to subsidize the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation, amortization, and other costs and charges WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2607 as provided in this subsection; and for the period beginning January 1, 2009, and ending June 30, 2009, and each fiscal year commencing thereafter until July 1, 2032, no more than fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of the tax shall be used to subsidize the operating costs of the system, exclusive of depreciation, amortization, and other costs and charges as provided in this subsection;. Such restrictions on the use of annual proceeds from local sales and use taxes shall be suspended beginning June 2, 2010, for a period of three years. Further extensions of suspensions on restrictions described in this subsection may be granted as provided by general law. 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.

In adopting its annual budget, the Board of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority shall be authorized to rely upon estimates of all revenues, operating costs, patronage, and other factors which may affect the amount of the fare required to limit the operating subsidy herein provided for. If the results of any year's operations reflect that the proceeds of the tax were used to subsidize operations to an extent greater than herein provided, the Board shall adjust fares in order to make up the deficit in operations during a period of not to exceed three (3) succeeding years. If the results of operations in the Authority's fiscal year commencing July 1, 1980, or in any subsequent fiscal year reflect that the proceeds of the tax were not used to subsidize operations to 2608 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE the maximum extent herein provided, the Board shall reserve any amounts that could have been used to subsidize operations in that fiscal year and later use said reserved amounts and any interest earned on said reserved amounts to provide an additional subsidy for operations in any future fiscal year or years. The words 'operating costs of the system' for purposes of this subsection 25(i) are defined to include all of the costs of that division of the Authority directly involved and that portion of the nonoperating administrative costs of those divisions of the Authority indirectly involved, through the provision of support services, in providing mass transportation services for the metropolitan area, but exclusive of the costs of the division or divisions directly involved and that portion of the nonoperating administrative costs of those divisions indirectly involved, in the planning, design, acquisition, construction, and improvement of the rapid transit system, according to accepted principles of accounting, and also exclusive of the following costs: (1) Nonrecurring costs and charges incurred in order to comply with any statute or regulation concerning either the protection or cleaning up of the environment, or accessibility by handicapped or disabled persons, or occupational health or safety, or compliance with any national or state emergencies, or with any judgment, decree, or order of any court or regulatory agency in implementation of any such statute or regulation; and (2) In the case of leases of equipment or facilities that, according to generally accepted principles of accounting, would not be classified as capital leases, payments of rent, and other payments for the property subject to such leases or for the use thereof; provided that any costs for regular maintenance or repair of such equipment or facilities shall not be excluded. If any proceeds of the tax levied pursuant to this Act are held for the purpose of planning, designing, acquiring, or constructing additional facilities or equipment for or improvements to the rapid transit system and are invested, then all interest earned from such investments shall be used only for such purposes or for paying the principal of or interest on bonds or certificates issued for such purposes. Commencing July 1, 1988, and until June 30, 2008, and only if expressly authorized by the board, interest earned on reserve funds set aside for rebuilding, repairing, or renovating facilities of the rapid transit system; for replacing, repairing, or renovating equipment or other capital assets thereof; or from the sale or other disposition of real property, may, without regard to the original source of the funds so reserved, be used to pay the operating costs of the system as such costs are defined in this subsection."

Under the general order of business, established by the Committee on Rules, the following Bill of the House was taken up for consideration and read the third time: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2611 HB 861. By Representatives Harden of the 28th, Ramsey of the 72nd, Allison of the 8th, Dempsey of the 13th, McBrayer of the 153rd and others: A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Chapter 1 of Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to law enforcement officers, so as to require law enforcement agencies to report drug related arrests to the Department of Human Services; to amend Article 1 of Chapter 4 of Title 49 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for public assistance, so as to require drug testing for applicants and recipients of state administered TANF benefits; to provide for legislative intent; to provide for related matters; to provide for severability; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT To amend Article 1 of Chapter 4 of Title 49 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for public assistance, so as to require drug testing for applicants and recipients of state administered TANF benefits; to provide for legislative intent; to provide for related matters; to provide for severability; 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. WHEREAS, the citizens of this state have a great concern for the abuse of illegal substances by recipients of public benefits not only because such benefits are paid with limited public funds that are potentially wasted on illegal drug users, but also because of the need to identify and provide help to those who are caught in the trap of drug addiction; and WHEREAS, the Georgia General Assembly recognizes the importance of encouraging a drug-free lifestyle and believes that the state should discourage rather than support the abuse of illegal substances; and WHEREAS, the use of illegal drugs by those on the lower end of the economic scale makes it more likely that such persons will remain in poverty and commit other criminal offenses; and 2612 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE WHEREAS, serious drug abuse by lower income parents is more likely to result in the children of impoverished families failing in school, developing emotional or behavior problems, and being neglected or abused; and WHEREAS, if the state is to take responsibility for breaking the tragic cycle of the interrelated conditions of poverty, crime, and drug abuse, then it is necessary and proper for the state to adopt a practice that will identify those substance abusers who receive state benefits rather than continuing to allow government tax dollars to support these selfdestructive behaviors. Therefore, the Georgia General Assembly by this Act adopts a just and effective means of identifying illegal drug users receiving public benefits. SECTION 2. Article 1 of Chapter 4 of Title 49 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relating to public assistance, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: "49-4-3.1. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Applicant' means any person applying or reapplying for TANF benefits with the Department of Human Services or any public or private entity working on behalf of the department in the administration of TANF benefits. (2) 'Drug test' means the collection and testing of bodily fluids or other matter for the presence of marijuana or controlled substances administered in a manner equivalent to that required by the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (HHS Regulations 53 C.F.R. 11979, et seq., as amended) or other professionally valid procedures approved and adopted by the department. The term 'drug test' shall include any initial test or tests and any follow-up test required to meet or exceed federal or other professional standards for ensuring the accuracy of the testing process. (3) 'Failing a drug test' means test results indicating the presence of marijuana or a controlled substance in a person's system; provided, however, that where a person has a valid medical prescription for a controlled substance for which he or she tested positive, he or she shall not be considered to have failed a drug test for such substance. (4) 'Recipient' means a person currently receiving TANF benefits from or through the Department of Human Services. (5) 'TANF benefits' means state administered federal benefits under the Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (TANF) program but shall not include any public assistance related to the provision of medical care. (b) Not later than July 1, 2013, the Department of Human Services shall institute a drug testing program for applicants of TANF benefits who are 18 years of age or older. The drug testing program for TANF benefits shall require that a drug test be WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2613 administered to each applicant for TANF benefits prior to the receipt of any such benefits. (c) Contingent upon available funding, in addition to administering a drug test to applicants for TANF benefits, the department shall institute a random drug testing program for recipients of TANF benefits. A recipient of TANF benefits shall submit, not less than once every two years, to the department's random drug testing program as a requirement for continued receipt of such benefits. The department shall be responsible for ensuring that recipients chosen for drug testing are selected at random and not by any other criteria. (d) The department shall deny TANF benefits to an applicant for or recipient of TANF benefits if the applicant or recipient fails a drug test. (e) Failure of an applicant or recipient to comply with the drug testing requirements of this Code section or the rules and regulations of the department for the administration of such test shall be deemed to be equivalent to failing a drug test, and the applicant or recipient shall be denied or deemed ineligible to receive TANF benefits. (f) A person denied TANF benefits for failing a drug test pursuant to this Code section may reapply for such benefits but shall be required to pass a drug test in the same manner as an original applicant for such benefits. Any person failing a second drug test administered under the provisions of this Code section shall not be permitted to reapply for TANF benefits for a period of two years following the results of such test. Any person failing a third drug test administered under the provisions of this Code section shall be indefinitely prohibited from reapplying for TANF benefits. (g) The department shall be responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of any and all drug test results administered as part of the program. Random drug test results shall be used only for the purpose of denying or determining eligibility for continued receipt of state public assistance, state administered federal public assistance, or both. At no time shall drug test results be released to any public or private person or entity except as requested by the person tested. (h) If a parent is deemed ineligible for TANF benefits as a result of failing a drug test conducted under this Code section, the dependent child's eligibility for TANF benefits shall not be affected. An appropriate protective payee shall be designated and approved by the department to receive benefits on behalf of the child. The parent may recommend another individual to receive benefits for the parent's minor child. The recommended individual must be an immediate family member. If an immediate family member is not available or the family member declines the option, another individual shall be designated and approved by the department. The designated individual shall also undergo drug testing before being approved to receive benefits on behalf of the child. If the designated individual fails a drug test, he or she shall be ineligible to receive benefits on behalf of the child. (i) The department shall provide for an administrative hearing and interdepartmental appeal for review of the findings of the department to the commissioner or his or her designee. A decision by the commissioner or his or her designee shall be considered a final agency decision. A review of the final agency decision may be conducted by 2614 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE appeal to the superior court of the county where the applicant or recipient resides. An appeal of a final agency decision shall be filed within 30 days of the decision and such decision shall be affirmed provided there is any evidence to support the findings of the department. The administrative appeal proceedings authorized under this subsection shall be conducted by the department and shall not be conducted by the Office of Administrative Hearings or any other agency outside of the department. (j) The administrative costs of the drug test administered pursuant to this Code section shall be paid by the recipient of TANF benefits by deducting such costs from the benefits over a period of 12 months; provided, however, that a recipient of public benefits shall not be charged more than a total of $40.00 per drug test nor be required to pay for more than two tests in a two-year period. (k) The results of any drug test done according to this Code section shall not be subject to disclosure under Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50, relating to inspection of public records. Such results shall not be used as a part of a criminal investigation or criminal prosecution. Such results may not be used in a civil action or otherwise disclosed to any person or entity without the express written consent of the person tested or his or her heirs or legal representative. All such records shall be destroyed five years after the date of the test. (l) The department shall adopt rules and regulations for the administration of a drug testing program in accordance with the provisions of this Code section." SECTION 3. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION 4. This Act shall become effective on January 1, 2013, and shall apply to applicants or recipients of TANF benefits on or after July 1, 2013. SECTION 5.

(4) Before the expiration of the 60 day period or any extensions obtained under paragraph (3) of this subsection, the state or local government shall: (A) Proceed with the civil action, in which case the civil action shall be conducted by the state or local government; or (B) Notify the court that it declines to take over the civil action, in which case the person bringing the civil action shall have the right to proceed with the civil action. (5) When a person brings a civil action under this subsection, no person other than the state or, if delegated the authority by the Attorney General, the local government may intervene or bring a related civil action based on the facts underlying the pending civil action. (6) Any evidence and information provided to the Attorney General or his or her designee, including any district attorney or local government, by a private person in WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2657 connection with an action under this Code section shall not constitute public records and shall be exempt from disclosure under Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50. Any such evidence also shall be protected by the common interest privilege and work product doctrine. To effectuate the law enforcement purposes of this article in combating fraud and false claims directed at the public's funds, it is the public policy of this state that private persons be authorized to take actions to provide to the Attorney General or local government such information and evidence. (c)(1) If the state or local government elects to intervene and proceeds with the civil action, it shall have the primary responsibility for prosecuting the civil action and shall not be bound by an act of the person bringing such civil action. Such person shall have the right to continue as a party to the civil action, subject to the limitations set forth in this subsection. (2) If the Attorney General has consented to a dismissal or elected not to proceed with a civil action, a local government may dismiss the civil action, notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating the civil action, if the person has been notified by the local government of the filing of the motion and the court has provided the person with an opportunity for a hearing on the motion. (3) The state or local government may settle the civil action with the defendant, notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating the civil action, if the court determines, after a hearing, that the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable under all the circumstances. Upon a showing of good cause, such hearing may be held in camera. (4) Upon a showing by the state or local government that unrestricted participation during the course of the litigation by the person initiating the civil action would interfere with or unduly delay the state or local government's litigation of the case, or would be repetitious, irrelevant, or for purposes of harassment, the court may, in its discretion, impose limitations on the person's participation, such as: (A) Limiting the number of witnesses the person may call; (B) Limiting the length of the testimony of such witnesses; (C) Limiting the person's cross-examination of witnesses; or (D) Otherwise limiting the participation of the person in the litigation. (d) Upon a showing by the defendant that unrestricted participation during the course of the litigation by the person initiating the civil action would be for purposes of harassment or would cause the defendant undue burden or unnecessary expense, the court may limit the participation of the person in the litigation. (e) If the state or local government elects not to proceed with the civil action, the person who initiated the civil action shall have the right to conduct the civil action. If the state or local government so requests, it shall be served with copies of all pleadings filed in the civil action and shall be supplied, without cost, with copies of all deposition transcripts. When a person proceeds with the civil action, the court may nevertheless permit the state or local government to intervene at a later date upon a showing of good cause. 2658 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (f) Whether or not the state or local government proceeds with the civil action, upon a showing by the state or local government that certain actions of discovery by the person initiating the civil action would interfere with the state or local government's investigation or prosecution of a criminal or civil matter arising out of the same facts, the court may stay such discovery for a period of not more than 60 days. Such a showing shall be conducted in camera. The court may extend the 60 day period upon a further showing in camera that the state or local government has pursued the criminal or civil investigation or proceedings with reasonable diligence, and any proposed discovery in the civil action will interfere with the ongoing criminal or civil investigation or proceedings. (g) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this Code section, the state or local government may elect to pursue its claim through any alternate remedy available to the state or local government, including any administrative proceeding to determine a civil money penalty. If any such alternate remedy is pursued in another proceeding, the person initiating the civil action shall have the same rights in such proceeding as such person would have had if the civil action had continued under this Code section. Any finding of fact or conclusion of law made in such other proceeding that becomes final shall be conclusive on all parties to a civil action under this Code section. For purposes of this subsection, a finding or conclusion shall be deemed final if it has been finally determined on appeal to the appropriate court, if all time for filing such an appeal with respect to the finding or conclusion has expired, or if the finding or conclusion is not subject to judicial review. (h)(1) If the state or local government proceeds with a civil action brought by a private person under subsection (b) of this Code section, such person shall, subject to the second sentence of this paragraph, receive at least 15 percent but not more than 25 percent of the proceeds of the civil action or settlement of the claim, depending upon the extent to which the person substantially contributed to the prosecution of the civil action. Where the civil action is one which the court finds to be based primarily on disclosures of specific information, other than information provided by the person bringing the civil action, relating to allegations or transactions in a criminal, civil, or administrative hearing; in a legislative, administrative, or State Accounting Office report, hearing, audit, or investigation; or from the news media, the court may award such sums as it considers appropriate, but in no case more than 10 percent of the proceeds, taking into account the significance of the information and the role of the person bringing such civil action in advancing the case to litigation. Any payment to a person under the first or second sentence of this paragraph shall be made from the proceeds. Any such person shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be awarded against the defendant. (2) If the state or local government does not proceed with a civil action under this Code section, the person bringing the civil action or settling the claim shall receive an amount which the court decides is reasonable for collecting the civil penalty and WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 2659 damages. Such amount shall be not less than 25 percent and not more than 30 percent of the proceeds of the civil action or settlement and shall be paid out of such proceeds. Such person shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be awarded against the defendant. (3) Whether or not the state or local government proceeds with the civil action, if the court finds that the civil action was brought by a person who planned and initiated the violation of this article upon which the civil action was brought, then the court may, to the extent the court considers appropriate, reduce the share of the proceeds of the civil action which the person would otherwise receive under paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection, taking into account the role of that person in advancing the case to litigation and any relevant circumstances pertaining to the violation. If the person bringing the civil action is convicted of criminal conduct arising from his or her role in the violation of this article, such person shall be dismissed from the civil action and shall not receive any share of the proceeds of the civil action. Such dismissal shall not prejudice the right of the State of Georgia to continue the civil action, represented by the Attorney General or local government attorney to whom the Attorney General has delegated authority. (4) If the state or local government does not proceed with the civil action and the person bringing the civil action conducts the civil action, the court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorney's fees and expenses against the person bringing the civil action if the defendant prevails in the civil action and the court finds that the claim of the person bringing the civil action was clearly frivolous, clearly vexatious, or brought primarily for purposes of harassment. (i) For purposes of this subsection, the term 'public employee,' 'public official,' and 'public employment' shall include federal, state, and local employees and officials. No civil action shall be brought under this article by a person who is or was a public employee or public official if the allegations of such action are substantially based upon: (1) Allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct which such person had a duty or obligation to report or investigate within the scope of his or her public employment or office; or (2) Information or records to which such person had access as a result of his or her public employment or office. (j)(1) No court shall have jurisdiction over a civil action brought under subsection (b) of this Code section against a member of the General Assembly or a member of the judiciary if the civil action is based on evidence or information known to the state when the civil action was brought. (2) In no event may a person bring a civil action under subsection (b) of this Code section which is based upon allegations or transactions which are the subject of a civil or administrative proceeding to which the State of Georgia is already party. 2660 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (3) The court shall dismiss a civil action or claim under this Code section, unless opposed by the state or local government, if substantially the same allegations or transactions as alleged in the action or claim were publicly disclosed: (A) In a state criminal, civil, or administrative hearing in which the state or local government or its agent is a party; (B) In a state or local government legislative or other state or local government report, hearing, audit, or investigation that is made on the public record or disseminated broadly to the general public; provided that such information shall not be deemed publicly disclosed in a report or investigation because it was disclosed or provided pursuant to Article 4 of Chapter 18 of Title 50, the federal Freedom of Information Act, or under any other federal, state, or local law, rule, or program enabling the public to request, receive, or view documents or information in the possession of public officials or public agencies; or (C) From the news media, provided that such allegations or transactions are not publicly disclosed in the news media merely because information of allegations or transactions have been posted on the Internet or on a computer network, unless the action is brought by the Attorney General or local government, or the person bringing the action is an original source of the information. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term 'original source' means a person who: (i) Prior to a public disclosure under this paragraph, has voluntarily disclosed to the state or a local government the information on which allegations or transactions in a claim are based; or (ii) Has knowledge that is independent of and materially adds to the publicly disclosed allegations or transactions and who has voluntarily provided the information to the state or a local government before filing a civil action under this Code section. (k) The state or local government shall not be liable for expenses which a private person incurs in bringing a civil action under this article. (l)(1) Any employee, contractor, or agent shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make that employee, contractor, or agent whole if that employee, contractor, or agent is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment because of lawful acts done by the employee, contractor, agent, or associated others in furtherance of a civil action under this Code section or other efforts to stop one or more violations of this article. (2) Relief under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall include reinstatement with the same seniority status that the employee, contractor, or agent would have had but for the discrimination, two times the amount of back pay, interest on the back pay, and compensation for any special damages sustained as a result of the discrimination, including litigation costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

(b) A subpoena requiring the attendance of a witness at a trial or hearing conducted under Code Section 23-3-122 may be served at any place in this state. (c) For purposes of applying subsection (b) of Code Section 9-11-9, in pleading a civil action brought under this article, the qui tam plaintiff shall not be required to identify specific claims that result from an alleged course of misconduct or any specific records or statements used if the facts alleged in the complaint, if ultimately proven true, would provide a reasonable indication that one or more violations of Code Section 23-3-121 are likely to have occurred and if the allegations in the pleading provide adequate notice of the specific nature of the alleged misconduct to permit the state or a local government to investigate effectively and defendants to defend fairly the allegations made. (d) If the state or local government elects to intervene and proceed with a civil action brought under subsection (b) of Code Section 23-3-122, the state or local government may file its own complaint or amend the complaint of a person who has brought an action under such subsection to clarify or add detail to the claims in which the state or local government is intervening and to add any additional claims with respect to which the state or local government contends it is entitled to relief. For statute of limitations purposes, any such state or local government pleading shall relate back to the filing date of the complaint of the person who originally brought the action, to the extent that the claim of the state or local government arises out of the conduct, transactions, or occurrences set forth, or attempted to be set forth, in the prior complaint of that person. (e) In any action brought under Code Section 23-3-122, the plaintiff shall be required to prove all essential elements of the cause of action, including damages, by a preponderance of the evidence. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a final judgment rendered in favor of the state or local government or the United States in any criminal proceeding charging fraud or false statements, whether upon a verdict after trial or upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, shall estop the defendant from denying the essential elements of the offense in any civil action which involves the same transaction as in the criminal proceeding and which is brought under subsection (a) or (b) of Code Section 23-3-122. 2662 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 23-3-124.

(g) Whether or not the Attorney General proceeds with the civil action, upon a showing by the Attorney General that certain actions of discovery by the person initiating the civil action would interfere with the Attorney General's investigation or prosecution of a criminal or civil matter arising out of the same facts, the court may stay such discovery for a period of not more than 60 days. Such a showing shall be conducted in camera.

Any payment to a person under the first or second sentence of this paragraph shall be made from the proceeds. The remaining proceeds shall be payable to the Indigent Care Trust Fund to be used for the purposes set forth in Code Section 31-8-154 State of Georgia, by and through the Georgia Department of Community Health, for the purposes of operating, sustaining, protecting, and administering the Georgia Medicaid program.

The remaining proceeds shall be payable to the Indigent Care Trust Fund to be used for the purposes set forth in Code Section 31-8-154 State of Georgia, by and through the Georgia Department of Community Health, for the purposes of operating, sustaining, protecting, and administering the Georgia Medicaid program. Such person shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be awarded against the defendant. (3) Whether or not the Attorney General proceeds with the civil action, if the court finds that the civil action was brought by a person who planned and initiated the violation of Code Section 49-4-168.1 upon which the civil action was brought, then the court may, to the extent the court considers appropriate, reduce the share of the proceeds of the civil action which the person would otherwise receive under paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection, taking into account the role of that person in advancing the case to litigation and any relevant circumstances pertaining to the violation. If the person bringing the civil action is convicted of criminal conduct 2678 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE arising from his or her role in the violation of Code Section 49-4-168.1, such person shall be dismissed from the civil action and shall not receive any share of the proceeds of the civil action. Such dismissal shall not prejudice the right of the State of Georgia to continue the civil action, represented by the Attorney General. (4) If the Attorney General does not proceed with the civil action and the person bringing the civil action conducts the civil action, the court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorney's fees and expenses against the person bringing the civil action if the defendant prevails in the civil action and the court finds that the claim of the person bringing the civil action was clearly frivolous, clearly vexatious, or brought primarily for purposes of harassment.

For purposes of this paragraph, 'original source' means an individual who has direct and independent knowledge of the information on which the allegations are based and has voluntarily provided the information to this state before filing a civil action under this Code section based on such information. (3) In no event may a person bring a civil action under this article which is based upon allegations or transactions which are the subject of a civil or administrative proceeding to which the State of Georgia is already party. (k)(4) No civil action may be brought under this article with respect to any claim relating to the assessment, payment, nonpayment, refund, or collection of taxes pursuant to any provisions of Title 48.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this article, all civil actions brought under this article shall be governed by the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 9, the 'Georgia Civil Practice Act.' (c) If the Attorney General elects to intervene and proceed with a civil action brought pursuant to this article, the Attorney General may file his or her own complaint or amend the complaint of a person who has brought a civil action under this article to clarify or add detail to the claims in which the Attorney General is intervening and to add any additional claims with respect to which the State of Georgia contends it is entitled to relief. For purposes of the statute of limitations, any such pleading by the Attorney General shall relate back to the filing date of the complaint of the person who originally brought the civil action, to the extent that the claim of the State of Georgia arises out of the conduct, transactions, or occurrences set forth, or attempted to be set forth, in the original complaint by such person. 49-4-168.4. Any employee who is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment by his or her employer because of lawful acts done by the employee, on behalf of the employee or others, in furtherance of a civil action under this article, including investigation for, initiation of, testimony for, or assistance in a civil action filed or to be filed under this article, shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole.

The articles of bedding manufactured or sold by such person shall not thereafter be sold in this state until such person has paid a special inspection fee of $1,000.00 and the Department of Agriculture has determined that such person is complying with this chapter, whereupon the Department of Agriculture shall reinstate or reissue the certificate of registration to such person. 31-25-12. The possession of one or more articles covered by this chapter, when found in any store, warehouse, or place of business other than a private home, hotel, or other place where such articles are ordinarily used, shall constitute prima-facie evidence that the article or articles so possessed are possessed with intent to sell or process the same for sale. 2730 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 31-25-13.

(a) There is hereby created a new Board of Education of Jenkins County which shall be composed of one member from each of five education districts provided for in subsection (b) of this section. Each member shall be a resident of the education district he or she represents. All members of the board of education shall be registered electors entitled to vote for members of the General Assembly of Georgia. (b) For the purpose of electing members of the Board of Education of Jenkins County, the Jenkins County School District shall be divided into five education districts. The districts shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: jenkinsccsbR2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: jenkins User: Gina'.

(d) Any part of Jenkins County which is not included in any such district described in subsection (b) of this section shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (e) Any part of Jenkins County which is described in subsection (b) of this section as being in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (f) All elections for members of the Board of Education of Jenkins County shall be nonpartisan elections as provided for in Code Section 21-2-139 of the O.C.G.A. Such nonpartisan elections shall be held in conjunction with the November general election 2756 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE immediately preceding expiration of the term of office and conducted as provided in Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A., the 'Georgia Election Code.'" SECTION 2. Said Act is further amended by revising Section 2 as follows: "SECTION 2. (a) The members of the board of education who were elected at the general election in November 2008 shall continue in office for the terms to which they were elected and until successors are elected and qualified as provided in this Act. The members of the board of education who were elected at the general election in November 2010 shall continue in office for the terms to which they were elected and until successors are elected and qualified as provided in this Act. (b) The first members of the reconstituted Board of Education of Jenkins County from Education Districts 1, 3, and 4 shall be elected at the state-wide general election in 2012. Such members shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified. (c) The first members of the reconstituted Board of Education of Jenkins County from Education Districts 2 and 5 shall be elected at the state-wide general election in 2014. Such members shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified. (d) Successors to members elected under subsections (b) and (c) of this section shall be elected at the state-wide general election next preceding the expiration of such terms of office and shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified. (e) Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as they existed on January 1, 2012, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and, on and after the effective date of this Act, such members of the board serving from those former education districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act." SECTION 3. The Board of Education of Jenkins County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, no later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval. SECTION 4. The provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of Education of Jenkins County shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming effective without such approval; and this Act shall otherwise become effective January 1, 2013.

An Act relating to the Board of Education of Stewart County and providing for the election of the members thereof, approved March 21, 1969 (Ga.

(a) The Board of Education of Stewart County shall be composed of five members who shall be elected as provided in this section from education districts as provided in this section. (b) For purposes of electing members of the board of education, the Stewart County School District is divided into five education districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The five education districts shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: stewartccsbR-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Stewart User: Gina'. (c)(1) When used in such attachment, the term 'VTD' (voting tabulation district) shall mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (2) The separate numeric designations in a district description which are underneath a VTD heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of the Stewart County School District which is not included in any such district described in that attachment shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (3) Any part of the Stewart County School District which is described in that attachment as being in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within 2764 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (4) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any education district, whenever the description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (d) Those members of the Board of Education of Stewart County who are serving as such on December 31, 2012, and any person selected to fill a vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. (e) At the general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday in November 2014, members of the board shall be elected from Education Districts 2 and 3, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for initial terms of office which expire on December 31, 2018, and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. At the general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday in November 2012, members of the board shall be elected from Education Districts 1, 4, and 5, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for initial terms of office which expire on December 31, 2016, and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. Those and all future successors to members of the board whose terms of office are to expire shall be elected at the time of the state-wide general election immediately preceding the expiration of such terms, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for terms of office of four years each. Members of the board shall serve for the terms of office specified therefor in this subsection and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as they exist on December 31, 2012, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after January 1, 2013, such members of the board serving from those former education districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act. (f) All members of the board of education who are elected thereto shall be nominated and elected in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the 'Georgia Election Code,' in nonpartisan primaries and elections as provided in Code Section 21-2-139 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated." SECTION 2. The Board of Education of Stewart County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; and such submission shall be made to the United States Department of Justice or filed with the appropriate court no later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval.

L. 1996, p. 4028), as amended, so as to change the description of the commissioner districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for election and terms of office of 2768 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE subsequent members; to provide for submission of this Act for approval under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for effective dates; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. An Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Stewart County, approved April 4, 1996 (Ga. L. 1996, p. 4028), as amended, is amended by striking Section 2 of said Act and inserting in its place the following: "SECTION 2. (a) The Board of Commissioners of Stewart County shall consist of five commissioners. Each commissioner shall be a resident of his or her respective commissioner district described in subsection (b) of this section and shall be elected by the electors of such district as provided in Section 3 of this Act. (b) For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Stewart County is divided into five commissioner districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The five commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: stewartccsbR-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Stewart User: Gina'. (c)(1) When used in such attachment, the term 'VTD' (voting tabulation district) shall mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (2) The separate numeric designations in a district description which are underneath a VTD heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Stewart County which is not included in any such district described in that attachment shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (3) Any part of Stewart County which is described in that attachment as being in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. (4) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any commissioner district, whenever the description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia." MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012 2769 SECTION 2. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 4 of said Act and inserting in its place the following: "SECTION 4. (a) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Stewart County who are serving as such on December 31, 2012, and any person selected to fill a vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. (b) At the general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday in November 2014, members of the board shall be elected from Commissioner Districts 2 and 4, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for initial terms of office which expire on December 31, 2018, and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. At the general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday in November 2012, members of the board shall be elected from Commissioner Districts 1, 3, and 5, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for initial terms of office which expire on December 31, 2016, and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. Those and all future successors to members of the board whose terms of office are to expire shall be elected at the time of the state-wide general election immediately preceding the expiration of such terms, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for terms of office of four years each. Members of the board shall serve for the terms of office specified therefor in this subsection and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as they exist immediately prior to January 1, 2013, shall continue to be designated as Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after such date, such members of the board serving from those former commissioner districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act. (c) All members of the board who are elected thereto shall be nominated and elected in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A., the 'Georgia Election Code.'" SECTION 3. The Board of Commissioners of Stewart County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; and such submission shall be made to the United States Department of Justice or filed with the appropriate court no later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval. 2770 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE SECTION 4.

L. 1937, p. 1294), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 15, 1994 (Ga. L. 1994, p. 3663), and an Act approved October 25, 2001 (Ga. L. 2001, Ex. Sess., p. 747), is amended by striking Sections 1 and 2 and inserting in lieu thereof the following: "SECTION 1. The Board of Commissioners of Coffee County which existed on December 31, 2011, is continued in existence but on and after the effective date of this Act, shall be constituted as provided in this Act. The Board of Commissioners of Coffee County so continued and 2774 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE constituted, sometimes referred to in this Act as the 'board,' shall continue to have the powers, duties, rights, obligations, and liabilities of that board as it existed immediately prior to January 1, 2012. SECTION 2. (a) Those members of the Board of Commissioners of Coffee County who are serving as such on December 31, 2011, and any person selected to fill a vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. On and after the effective date of this Act, the Board of Commissioners of Coffee County shall consist of five members all of whom shall be elected from commissioner districts described in subsection (b) of this section. (b) For purposes of electing members of the board of commissioners, Coffee County is divided into five commissioner districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The five commissioner districts shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: coffeeccsb-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: coffee User: bak'. (c) When used in such attachment, the terms 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. The separate numeric designations in a district description which are underneath a 'VTD' heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Coffee County which is not included in any such district described in that attachment shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of Coffee County which is described in that attachment as being in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Except as otherwise provided in the description of any commissioner district, whenever the description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia." SECTION 2. The Board of Commissioners of Coffee County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; and such submission shall be made to the United States Department of Justice or filed with the appropriate court no later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval. MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012 2775 SECTION 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. SECTION 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.

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.

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 51, the indented, bold-faced paragraphs following each Bond number are the lowest level of detail and constitute appropriations in accordance with Article VII, Section III, Paragraph I(a) of the Georgia Constitution. The caption above the Bond number, the light-faced text MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012 3623 immediately following the Bond number before the bold-faced text, and the light-faced 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. Except for the prior year motor fuel funds re-allocated according to the legal text at the end of Section 48, 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 52, 53, and 54 contain, constitute, or amend appropriations. Section 56: Flex Except for the prior year motor fuel funds re-allocated according to the legal text at the end of Section 48, (notwithstanding their fund source character), and otherwise 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. This paragraph applies to and only to the appropriations for the "Medicaid: Low-Income Medicaid" and "Medicaid: Aged, Blind, and Disabled" programs of the Department of Community Health. The appropriation of a particular State fund source for each program is the amount stated, and each program shall also be authorized up to an additional amount of 2 percent (2%) of the amount stated. However, if the additional authority is used, the appropriation of the same State fund source for the other program to that agency is reduced in the same amount, such that the stated total in program appropriations from that State fund source for the two programs is not exceeded. However, the additional amount must be from a State fund source which is lawfully available for the program to which it is added. Part II: Effective Date This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without his approval. 3624 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Part III: Repeal Conflicting Laws All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act are repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. Part 1 of Article 2 of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to ad valorem tax exemptions, is amended by revising Code Section 48-5-48.1, relating to freeport exemption applications, waivers, denials, and renewals, as follows: "48-5-48.1. (a) Any person, firm, or corporation seeking an a level 1 freeport exemption from ad valorem taxation of certain tangible personal property inventory when such exemption has been authorized by the governing authority of any county or municipality after approval of the electors of such county or municipality pursuant to the authority of the Constitution of Georgia or Code Section 48-5-48.2 shall file a written application and schedule of property with the county board of tax assessors on forms furnished by such board. Such application shall be filed in the year in which exemption from taxation is sought no later than the date on which the tax receiver or tax commissioner of the county in which the property is located closes his the books for the return of taxes. (b) The application for the tangible personal property inventory level 1 freeport exemption shall provide for: (1) A schedule of the inventory of goods in the process of manufacture or production which shall include all partly finished goods and raw materials held for direct use or consumption in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's manufacturing or production business in the State of Georgia; (2) A schedule of the inventory of finished goods manufactured or produced within the State of Georgia in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's manufacturing or production business when held by the original manufacturer or producer of such finished goods; and 3714 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (3) A schedule of the inventory of finished goods which on January 1 are stored in a warehouse, dock, or wharf, whether public or private, and which are destined for shipment outside the State of Georgia and the inventory of finished goods which are shipped into the State of Georgia from outside this state and which are stored for transshipment to a final destination outside this state. The information required by Code Section 48-5-48.2 to be contained in the official books and records of the warehouse, dock, or wharf where such property is being stored, which official books and records are required to be open to the inspection of taxing authorities of this state and political subdivisions thereof, shall not be required to be included as a part of or to accompany the application for such exemption. (c)(1) For purposes of this subsection, the term 'file properly' shall mean and include the timely filing of the application and complete schedule of the inventory for which exemption is sought on or before the due date specified in subsection (a) of this Code section. (2) The failure to file properly the application and schedule shall constitute a waiver of the exemption on the part of the person, firm, or corporation failing to make the application for such exemption for that year as follows: (A) The failure to report any inventory for which such exemption is sought in the schedule provided for in the application shall constitute a waiver of the exemption on the part of the person, firm, or corporation failing to so report for that taxable year in an amount equal to the difference between fair market value of the inventory as reported and the fair market value finally determined to be applicable to the inventory for which the exemption is sought; and (B) The failure to file timely such application and schedule shall constitute a waiver of the exemption until the first day of the month following the month such application and schedule are filed properly with the county tax assessor; provided, however, that unless the application and schedule are filed on or before June 1 of such year, the exemption shall be waived for that entire year. (d) Upon receiving the application required by this Code section, the county board of tax assessors shall determine the eligibility of all types of tangible personal property listed on the application. If any property has been listed which the board believes is not eligible for the exemption, the board shall issue a letter notifying the applicant that all or a portion of the application has been denied. The denial letter shall list the type and total fair market value of all property listed on the application for which the exemption has been approved and the type and total fair market value of all property listed on the application for which the exemption has been denied. The applicant shall have the right to appeal from the denial of the exemption for any property listed and such appeal shall proceed as provided in Code Section 48-5-311. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (c)(2)(A) of this Code section, the county board of assessors shall not send a second letter of notification denying the exemption of all or a portion of such property listed on the application on new grounds that could and should have been discerned at the time the initial denial letter was issued. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2012 3715 (e) If the tangible personal property inventory level 1 freeport exemption has been granted to a taxpayer for a taxable year, the county board of tax assessors shall issue a notice of renewal to the taxpayer for the immediately following taxable year. Such notice of renewal shall be issued not later than January 15 of such immediately following taxable year to facilitate the filing of a timely application and schedule by the taxpayer for such taxable year." SECTION 2. Said part is further amended by revising Code Section 48-5-48.2, relating to the freeport exemption, as follows: "48-5-48.2. (a) This Code section shall be known and may be cited as the 'Level 1 Freeport Exemption.' (b) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Destined for shipment to a final destination outside this state' includes means, for purposes of a level 1 freeport exemption, that portion or percentage of an inventory of finished goods which the taxpayer can establish, through a historical sales or shipment analysis, either of which utilizes information from the preceding calendar year, or other reasonable, documented method, is reasonably anticipated to be shipped to a final destination outside this state. Such other reasonable, documented method may only be utilized in the case of a new business, in the case of a substantial change in scope of an existing business, or in other unusual situations where a historical sales or shipment analysis does not adequately reflect future anticipated shipments to a final destination outside this state. It is not necessary that the actual final destination be known as of January 1 in order to qualify for the exemption.

Such application shall be filed in the year in which exemption from taxation is sought no later than the date on which the tax receiver or tax commissioner of the county in which the property is located closes the books for the return of taxes. (b) The application for the level 2 freeport exemption shall provide for a schedule of the inventory of finished goods held by one in the business of making sales of such goods in this state. (c)(1) For purposes of this subsection, the term 'file properly' shall mean and include the timely filing of the application and complete schedule of the inventory for which exemption is sought on or before the due date specified in subsection (a) of this Code section. (2) The failure to file properly the application and schedule shall constitute a waiver of the exemption on the part of the person, firm, or corporation failing to make the application for such exemption for that year as follows: (A) The failure to report any inventory for which such exemption is sought in the schedule provided for in the application shall constitute a waiver of the exemption on the part of the person, firm, or corporation failing to so report for that taxable year in an amount equal to the difference between fair market value of the inventory as reported and the fair market value finally determined to be applicable to the inventory for which the exemption is sought; and (B) The failure to file timely such application and schedule shall constitute a waiver of the exemption until the first day of the month following the month such application and schedule are filed properly with the county tax assessor; provided, however, that unless the application and schedule are filed on or before June 1 of such year, the exemption shall be waived for that entire year. (d) Upon receiving the application required by this Code section, the county board of tax assessors shall determine the eligibility of all types of tangible personal property listed on the application. If any property has been listed which the board believes is not eligible for the exemption, the board shall issue a letter notifying the applicant that all or a portion of the application has been denied. The denial letter shall list the type and total fair market value of all property listed on the application for which the exemption has been approved and the type and total fair market value of all property listed on the application for which the exemption has been denied. The applicant shall have the right to appeal from the denial of the exemption for any property listed, and such appeal shall proceed as provided in Code Section 48-5-311. Except as otherwise provided in WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2012 3719 subparagraph (c)(2)(A) of this Code section, the county board of assessors shall not send a second letter of notification denying the exemption of all or a portion of such property listed on the application on new grounds that could and should have been discerned at the time the initial denial letter was issued. (e) If the level 2 freeport exemption has been granted to a taxpayer for a taxable year, the county board of tax assessors shall issue a notice of renewal to the taxpayer for the immediately following taxable year. Such notice of renewal shall be issued not later than January 15 of such immediately following taxable year to facilitate the filing of a timely application and schedule by the taxpayer for such taxable year. 48-5-48.6. (a) This Code section shall be known and may be cited as the 'Level 2 Freeport Exemption.' (b) As used in this Code section, the term 'finished goods' means, for purposes of a level 2 freeport exemption, goods, wares, and merchandise of every character and kind constituting a business's inventory which would not otherwise qualify for a level 1 freeport exemption. (c) The governing authority of any county or municipality may, subject to the approval of the electors of such political subdivision, exempt from ad valorem taxation, including all such taxes levied for educational purposes and for state purposes, inventory of finished goods. (d) Whenever the governing authority of any county or municipality wishes to exempt such tangible property from ad valorem taxation, as provided in this Code section, the governing authority thereof shall notify the election superintendent of such political subdivision, and it shall be the duty of said election superintendent to issue the call for an election for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the political subdivision the question of whether such exemption shall be granted. The referendum ballot shall specify retail business inventory as the types of property as defined in this Code section which are being proposed to be exempted from taxation. The election superintendent shall issue the call and shall conduct the election on a date and in the manner authorized under Code Section 21-2-540. (e) The governing authority of any county or municipality wherein an exemption has been approved by the voters as provided in this Code section may, by appropriate resolution, a copy of which shall be immediately transmitted to the state revenue commissioner, exempt from taxation 20 percent, 40 percent, 60 percent, 80 percent, or all of the value of such tangible personal property as defined in this Code section; provided, however, that once an exemption has been granted, no reduction in the percent of the value of such property to be exempted may be made until and unless such exemption is revoked or repealed as provided in this Code section. An increase in the percent of the value of the property to be exempted may be accomplished by appropriate resolution of the governing authority of such county or municipality, and a copy thereof shall be immediately transmitted to the state revenue commissioner, provided that such increase shall be in increments of 20 percent, 40 percent, 60 percent, 3720 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE or 80 percent of the value of such tangible personal property as defined in this Code section, within the discretion of such governing authority. (f)(1) If more than one-half of the votes cast on such question are in favor of such exemption, then such exemption may be granted by the governing authority commencing on the first day of any ensuing calendar year; otherwise, such exemption may not be granted. This paragraph is intended to clearly provide that following approval of such exemption in such referendum, such exemption may be granted on the first day of any calendar year following the year in which such referendum was conducted. This paragraph shall not be construed to imply that the granting of such exemption could not previously be delayed to any such calendar year. (2) Exemptions may only be revoked by a referendum election called and conducted as provided in this Code section, provided that the call for such referendum shall not be issued within five years from the date such exemptions were first granted and, if the results of said election are in favor of the revocation of such exemptions, then such revocation shall be effective only at the end of a five-year period from the date of such referendum. (g) Level 2 freeport exemptions effected pursuant to this Code section may be granted either in lieu of or in addition to level 1 freeport exemptions under Code Section 48-548.2. (h) The commissioner shall by regulation adopt uniform procedures and forms for the use of local officials in the administration of this Code section." SECTION 4. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. SECTION 5. If any one or more provisions, Code sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or words of this Act is found to be unconstitutional, the same is declared to be severable, and the balance of this Act shall remain effective notwithstanding such unconstitutionality. The General Assembly declares that it would have enacted this Act and each Code section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more provisions, Code sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or words would be declared unconstitutional.

Credit shall not be allowed during a year if the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier. Any credit generated and utilized for years prior to the year in which the net employment increase falls below the number required in such tier shall not be affected. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed each year for net new employment fluctuations above the minimum level of the number required in 3790 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE such tier.

The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed in the event of employment fluctuations during the five years of credit." "(h)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, any Any credit claimed under this Code section but not used in any taxable year may be carried forward for ten years from the close of the taxable year in which the qualified jobs were established, subject to forfeiture as provided in paragraph (1) of subsection (e) of this Code section, but in tiers 3 and 4 the credit established by this Code section taken in any one taxable year shall be limited to an amount not greater than 50 percent of the taxpayer's state income tax liability which is attributable to income derived from operations in this state for that taxable year. In tier 1 and 2 counties, the credit allowed under this Code section against taxes imposed under this article in any taxable year shall be limited to an amount not greater than 100 percent of the taxpayer's state income tax liability attributable to income derived from operations in this state for such taxable year. (2) The additional credit claimed by an existing business enterprise pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of this Code section must be applied against taxes imposed for the taxable year in which such credit is available and may not be carried forward to any subsequent taxable year." "(l) Taxpayers that initially claimed the credit under this Code section for any taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009 2012, shall be governed, for purposes of all such credits claimed as well as any credits claimed in subsequent taxable years related to such initial claim, by this Code section as it was in effect for the taxable year in which the taxpayer made such initial claim."

The number of new full-time jobs shall be determined by comparing the monthly average number of full-time employees subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with the corresponding period of the prior taxable year.

The average wage of the new jobs created must be above the average wage of the county that has the lowest wage of any county in the state to qualify as reported in the most recently available annual issue of the Georgia Employment and Wages Averages Report of the Department of Labor. To qualify for a credit under this subsection, the employer must make health insurance coverage available to the employee filling the new full-time job; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the employer to pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for such an employee in order to claim the credit provided for in this subsection if such employer does not pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for other employees. Credit shall not be allowed during a year if the net employment increase falls below five or two, as applicable. In any year in which the net employment increase falls below five or two, as applicable, the taxpayer shall forfeit the right to the credit claimed for that taxable year. For the year that the net employment increase falls below five or two, as applicable, a taxpayer that forfeits such right is therefore liable for all past taxes imposed by this article for that taxable year and all past payments under Code Section 48-7-103 for that taxable year that were foregone by the state as a result of the credits provided by this Code section; provided, however that Code Section 48-2-40 shall not apply to any such forfeiture. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed each year for net new employment fluctuations above the minimum level of five or two. (f) Tax credits for four five years for the taxes imposed under this article shall be awarded for additional new full-time employee jobs created by business enterprises qualified under subsection (b) or (c) of this Code section. Additional new full-time employee jobs shall be determined by subtracting the highest total employment of the business enterprise during years two through five, or whatever portion of years two through five which has been completed, from the total increased employment. The state revenue commissioner shall adjust the credit allowed in the event of employment fluctuations during the additional five years of credit." "(j) Taxpayers that initially claimed the credit under this Code section for any taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009 2012, shall be governed, for purposes of all such credits claimed as well as any credits claimed in subsequent taxable years related to such initial claim, by this Code section as it was in effect for the taxable year in which the taxpayer made such initial claim."

Each employee whose employer receives credit TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 3793 against such taxpayer's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive a credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this subsection.

(11) 'Qualified project' means a project which meets the job creation requirement and either the payroll requirement or qualified investment property requirement. If the taxpayer selects the qualified investment property requirement as one of the TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 3801 conditions for its project, the property shall involve the construction of one or more new facilities in this state or the expansion of one or more existing facilities in this state. For purposes of this paragraph, the term 'facilities' means all facilities comprising a single project, including noncontiguous parcels of land, improvements to such land, buildings, building improvements, and any personal property that is used in the facility or facilities. (12) 'Recapture period' means the period of five consecutive taxable years that commences after the first taxable year in which a business enterprise has satisfied the job creation requirement and either the payroll requirement or the qualified investment property requirement, as selected by the taxpayer. (13) 'Withholding start date' means the date on which the business enterprise begins to withhold Georgia income tax from the wages of its employees located at the site or sites of a qualified project. (b) A business enterprise that is planning a qualified project shall be allowed to take the job tax credit provided by this Code section under the following conditions: (1) An application is filed with the commissioner that: (A) Describes the qualified project to be undertaken by the business enterprise, including when such project will commence and the expected withholding start date; (B) Certifies that such project will meet the job creation requirement and either the payroll requirement or the qualified investment property requirement prescribed by this Code section; and (C) Certifies that during the recapture period applicable to such project the business enterprise will meet the job maintenance requirement and, if applicable, the payroll maintenance requirement prescribed by this Code section; (2) Following the commissioner's referral of the application to a panel composed of the commissioner of community affairs, the commissioner of economic development, and the director of the Office of Planning and Budget, said the panel, after reviewing the application, certifies that the new or expanded facility or facilities will have a significant beneficial economic effect on the region for which they are planned. The panel shall make its determination within 30 days after receipt from the commissioner of the taxpayer's application and any necessary supporting documentation. Although the panel's certification may be based upon other criteria, a project that meets the minimum job creation requirement and either the payroll requirement or qualified investment property requirement, as applicable, specified in paragraph (1) of this subsection will have a significant beneficial economic effect on the region for which it is planned if one of the following additional criteria is met: (A) The project will create new full-time employee jobs with average wages that are, as determined by the Department of Labor, for all jobs for the county in question: (i) Twenty percent above such average wage for projects located in tier 1 counties; (ii) Ten percent above such average wage for projects located in tier 2 counties; or 3802 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (iii) Five percent above such average wage for projects located in tier 3 or tier 4 counties; or (B) The project demonstrates high growth potential based upon the prior year's Georgia net taxable income growth of over 20 percent from the previous year, if the taxpayer's Georgia net taxable income in each of the two preceding years also grew by 20 percent or more. (c) Any lease for a period of five years or longer of any real or personal property used in a new or expanded facility or facilities which would otherwise constitute qualified investment property shall be treated as the purchase or acquisition thereof by the lessee. The taxpayer may treat the full value of the leased property as qualified investment property in the year in which the lease becomes binding on the lessor and the taxpayer. (d) A business enterprise whose application is approved shall be allowed a tax credit for taxes imposed under this article equal to $5,250.00 annually per new eligible fulltime employee job for five years beginning with the year in which such job is created through year five after such creation; provided, however, that where the amount of such credit exceeds a business enterprise's liability for such taxes in a taxable year, the excess may be taken as a credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103. The taxpayer may file an election with the commissioner to take such credit against quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 that become due before the due date of the income tax return on which such credit may be claimed. In the event of such an election, the commissioner shall confirm with the taxpayer a date, which shall not be later than 30 days after receipt of the taxpayer's election, when the taxpayer may begin to take the credit against such quarterly or monthly payments. For any one taxable year the amounts taken as a credit against taxes imposed under this article and against the business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 may not in the aggregate exceed $5,250.00 per eligible full-time employee job. Each employee whose employer receives credit against such business enterprise's quarterly or monthly payment under Code Section 48-7-103 shall receive a credit against his or her income tax liability under Code Section 48-7-20 for the corresponding taxable year for the full amount which would be credited against such liability prior to the application of the credit provided for in this subsection. Credits against quarterly or monthly payments under Code Section 48-7-103 and credits against liability under Code Section 48-7-20 established by this subsection shall not constitute income to the taxpayer. To qualify for a credit under this subsection, the employer must make health insurance coverage available to the employee filling the new full-time job; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the employer to pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for such an employee in order to claim the credit provided for in this subsection if such employer does not pay for all or any part of health insurance coverage for other employees. (e) The number of new full-time jobs to which this Code section shall be applicable shall be determined by comparing the monthly average number of eligible full-time TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 3803 employees subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with the corresponding period for the prior taxable year. (f) The Subject to the requirements of division (a)(4)(B)(iii) of this Code section, the sale, merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy of any business enterprise shall not create new eligibility in any succeeding business entity, but any unused job tax credit may be transferred and continued by any transferee of the business enterprise. (g) To qualify for the credit provided by this Code section, a new full-time job must be created by the close of the seventh taxable year following the business enterprise's withholding start date, unless the purchase or acquisition of qualified investment property is made as provided in paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this Code section, in which case a new full-time job must be created by the close of the eighth taxable year following the business enterprise's withholding start date based on a $600 million qualified investment or the end of the tenth taxable year based on an $800 million qualified investment. In no event may a credit be claimed under this Code section for more than 4,500 new full-time employee jobs created by any one project; provided, however, that the taxpayer may claim the credits provided by Code Sections 48-7-40 and 48-7-40.1 for any such additional jobs if the taxpayer meets the terms and conditions thereof. (h) Any credit claimed under this Code section but not fully used in the manner prescribed in subsection (d) of this Code section may be carried forward for ten years from the close of the taxable year in which the qualified job was established. (i) Except as provided in subsection (g) of this Code section, a taxpayer who is entitled to and takes credits provided by this Code section for a qualified project shall not be allowed to take any of the credits authorized by Code Section 48-7-40, 48-7-40.1, 48-740.2, 48-7-40.3, 48-7-40.4, 48-7-40.6, 48-7-40.7, 48-7-40.8, 48-7-40.9, 48-7-40.10, 487-40.11, 48-7-40.15, 48-7-40.17, or 48-7-40.18 for jobs, investments, child care, or ground-water usage shifts created by, arising from, related to, or connected in any way with the same project. Provided such taxpayer otherwise qualifies, such taxpayer may take any credit authorized by Code Section 48-7-40.5 for the costs of retraining an employee located at the site or sites of such project or the facility or facilities resulting therefrom, but only for costs incurred more than five years after the date the facility or facilities first become operational. (j) Except under those circumstances described in subsection (k) of this Code section, the taxpayer shall, not more than 60 days after the close of the sixth taxable year following its withholding start date, file a report with the commissioner concerning the number of eligible full-time employee jobs created by such project; the wages of such jobs; the qualified investment property purchased or acquired by the taxpayer for the project; and any other information that the commissioner may reasonably require in order to determine whether the taxpayer has met the job creation requirement and either the payroll requirement or the qualified investment property requirement, as selected by the taxpayer, for such project. If the taxpayer has failed to meet any applicable job creation, payroll, or qualified investment property requirement, the taxpayer will shall forfeit the right to claim any credits provided by this Code section for such project. A 3804 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE taxpayer that forfeits the right to claim such credits is liable for all past taxes imposed by this article and all past payments under Code Section 48-7-103 that were foregone by the state as a result of the credits, plus interest at the rate established by Code Section 48-2-40 computed from the date such taxes or payments would have been due if the credits had not been taken. No later than 90 days after notification from the commissioner that any applicable job creation, payroll, or qualified investment property requirement was not met, the taxpayer shall file amended income tax and withholding tax returns for all affected periods that recalculate those liabilities without regard to the forfeited credits and shall pay any additional amounts shown on such returns, with interest as provided herein by Code Section 48-2-40. On such amended returns the taxpayer may claim any credit to which it would have been entitled under this article but for having taken the credit provided by this Code section. (k) If the recapture period applicable to a qualified project begins with or before the sixth taxable year following the taxpayer's withholding start date, or with or before the eighth taxable year following the taxpayer's withholding start date if the project falls within the $600 million in qualified investment property category, or within the tenth taxable year following the taxpayer's withholding start date if the project falls within the $800 million in qualified investment property category, the taxpayer shall, not later than 60 days after the close of the taxable year immediately preceding the recapture period, file a report with the commissioner concerning the number of eligible full-time employee jobs created by such project; the wages of such jobs; the qualified investment property purchased or acquired by the taxpayer for the project; and any other information that the commissioner may reasonably require in order to verify that the taxpayer met the job creation requirement and either the payroll requirement or the qualified investment property requirement in such preceding year. (l) Not more than 60 days after the close of each taxable year within the recapture period, the taxpayer shall file a report, using such form and providing such information as the commissioner may reasonably require, concerning whether it met the job maintenance requirement and, if applicable, the payroll maintenance requirement for such year. For purposes of this subsection, whether such job maintenance requirement has been satisfied shall be determined by comparing the monthly average number of eligible full-time employees subject to Georgia income tax withholding for the taxable year with 1,800. For purposes of this subsection, whether such payroll maintenance requirement has been satisfied shall be determined by comparing the total annual Georgia W-2 reported payroll with respect to a qualified project for the taxable year with $150 million. If the taxpayer has failed to meet the job maintenance requirement or payroll maintenance requirement, or both, for such year, the taxpayer will shall forfeit the right to 20 percent of all credits provided by this Code section for such project. A taxpayer that forfeits such right is liable for 20 percent of all past taxes imposed by this article and all past payments under Code Section 48-7-103 that were foregone by the state as a result of the credits provided by this Code section, plus interest at the rate established by Code Section 48-2-40 computed from the date such taxes or payments would have been due if the credits had not been taken. No later than TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 3805 90 days after notification by the commissioner that the taxpayer has failed to meet the job maintenance requirement or payroll maintenance requirement, or both, for such year, the taxpayer shall file amended income tax and withholding tax returns for all affected periods that recalculate those liabilities without regard to the forfeited credits and shall pay any additional amounts shown on such returns, with interest as provided herein by Code Section 48-2-40. (m) A taxpayer who that fails to meet the job maintenance requirement or payroll maintenance requirement, or both, for any taxable year within the recapture period because of force majeure may petition the commissioner for relief from such requirement. Such a petition must be made with and at the same time as the report required by subsection (l) of this Code section. If the commissioner determines that force majeure materially affected the taxpayer's ability to meet the job maintenance requirement or payroll maintenance requirement, or both, for such year, but that the portion of the year so affected was six months or less, for purposes of the job maintenance requirement the commissioner shall calculate the taxpayer's monthly average number of eligible full-time employees for purposes of subsection (l) of this Code section by disregarding the affected months and for purposes of the payroll maintenance requirement the commissioner shall annualize the total Georgia W-2 reported payroll with respect to a qualified project for the portion of the year not so affected. If the commissioner determines that the affected portion of the year was more than six months, the taxable year shall be disregarded in its entirety for purposes of the job maintenance requirement or payroll maintenance requirement, or both, and the recapture period applicable to the qualified project shall be extended for an additional year. (n) Unless more time is allowed therefor by Code Section 48-7-82 or 48-2-49, the commissioner may make any assessment attributable to the forfeiture of credits claimed under this Code section for the periods covered by any amended returns filed by a taxpayer pursuant to subsection (j) or (l) of this Code section within one year from the date such returns are filed. If the taxpayer fails to file the reports or any amended return required by subsection (j) or (l) of this Code Section, the commissioner may assess additional tax or other amounts attributable to the forfeiture of credits claimed under this Code section at any time. (o) Projects certified by the panel pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Code section before January 1, 2009, shall be governed by this Code section as it was in effect for the taxable year the project was certified. (p) The commissioner shall promulgate any rules and regulations necessary to implement and administer this Code section." SECTION 7. (a) This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval and shall be applicable to all taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. 3806 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (b) Tax, penalty, and interest liabilities and refund eligibility for prior taxable years shall not be affected by the passage of this Act and shall continue to be governed by the provisions of general law as it existed immediately prior to January 1, 2012.

The following Committee substitute was read and adopted: TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 3827 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT To amend Part 1 of Article 1 of Chapter 18 of Title 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relative to funeral directors and establishments, embalmers, and crematories, so as to provide for a determination as to whether a dead body that has been submitted to a funeral director is that of a deceased veteran; to provide a short title; to provide for certain notifications; to allow access to certain veterans' organizations under certain circumstances to information about a deceased; to allow certain veterans' organizations under certain circumstances to make arrangements for the disposition of the cremated remains of a deceased veteran; to provide for immunity; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

Part 1 of Article 1 of Chapter 18 of Title 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relative to funeral directors and establishments, embalmers, and crematories, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: "43-18-9. (a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Veteran' means a resident of this state who qualifies as a veteran under the rules of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and who was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. (2) 'Veterans' organization' means the Department of Veterans Service, the National Cemetery Administration's National Cemetery Scheduling Office, or any association or other entity organized for the benefit of veterans that has been recognized or chartered by the United States Congress, such as the American Legion, the Legion of Honor, the Patriot Guard, the Missing in America Project, and the Vietnam Veterans of America. (b) The funeral director shall make a reasonable effort to determine whether any dead body submitted for final disposition by cremation is that of a deceased veteran. (c) The funeral director shall, at the time the cremation authorization form is signed: (1) Inquire as to whether the legally authorized person has information or belief as to whether the deceased is a veteran; and (2) Notify the legally authorized person of the responsibilities of the funeral director under this Code section. 3828 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (d) If the funeral director is unable to determine with certainty whether the deceased was a veteran through an inquiry with the legally authorized agent, then any veterans' organization shall be allowed access to all information available from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs regarding the deceased in the possession of the funeral director in charge of the crematory so that any veterans' organization may attempt to determine whether the deceased is a veteran. If any veterans' organization that is allowed access to information pursuant to this Code section discovers that the deceased is a veteran, the veterans' organization shall notify the funeral director. (e)(1) If the funeral director determines that the deceased is a veteran from information provided by the legally authorized person, any veterans' organization, or otherwise, then such funeral director shall immediately notify the legally authorized person of such finding and shall advise that the deceased person may be eligible to be interred at an appropriate veterans' cemetery. (2) If the funeral director determines that the deceased is a veteran from information provided by the legally authorized person, any veterans' organization, or otherwise, and the cremated remains are not claimed by a legally authorized person, then the funeral director shall hold any such cremated remains for at least 60 days. After 60 days, the funeral director shall send written notice to the legally authorized person who signed the cremation authorization form requesting disposition instructions. If the funeral director does not receive a written response from the legally authorized person within 30 days of sending a written notice, then the funeral director shall contact a veterans' organization so that arrangements for the disposition of the cremated remains of the veteran may be made in a state or national veterans' cemetery. (f) Nothing in this Code section shall delay the authorized cremation of a deceased's remains. (g)(1) A funeral director complying with this Code section shall be immune from any criminal or civil liability regarding: (A) The determination of a deceased's status as a veteran; (B) The release of information relating to the determination of a deceased's status as a veteran; (C) The availability of interment or inurnment for a deceased veteran; or (D) The release of cremated remains to a veterans' cemetery. (2) A funeral director shall be immune from civil liability for any act or omission under this Code section except for willful or wanton misconduct. (h) A veterans' organization shall be immune from civil liability for any act or omission related to the disposition of cremated remains under this Code section except for willful or wanton misconduct." SECTION 3. This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2012 3829 SECTION 4.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2012 3899 SECTION 1. An Act providing in Fulton County a system for pension and retirement pay to teachers and employees of the Board of Education of Fulton County, approved February 2, 1945 (Ga. L. 1945, p. 528), as amended, particularly by an Act approved May 19, 2009 (Ga. L. 2009, p. 4004), is amended by revising paragraph (17) of Section 1.01 as follows: "(17) 'Employee contribution' means the amounts paid to the plan by an employee, as set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.07 of this Act." SECTION 2. Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (a) of Section 2.02 as follows: "(a) Except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 4.02 of this Act, in calculating a participant's years of creditable service, all complete months of service with the employer shall be aggregated." SECTION 3. Said Act is further amended by revising paragraph (6) of subsection (b) of Section 2.03 as follows: "(6) The cost of service shall be calculated by determining the amount an eligible employee would have paid had he or she been a participant in the plan during the period of such prior service, provided that the cost shall be calculated on the basis of the period of service that results in the lowest total cost to the participant. The cost of service may include the amount of matching contributions as set out in subsection (c) of this section. The calculation shall be based on the compensation assumptions and interest rates set out in subsection (c) of this section. The calculation shall also include any contributions that would be required to opt in to an alternate plan, as described in subsection (c) of Section 4.02 of this Act." SECTION 4. Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (b) of Section 2.07 as follows: "(b) If a participant does not make the additional employee contributions for survivor benefits when he or she begins participation in the plan, he or she may elect to provide survivor benefits at a later time, subject to the following: A participant may request to purchase survivor benefits for prior periods of participation in the plan at any time during his or her employment with the employer. The cost of such service may be paid in a lump sum or, at the discretion of the pension board, in installments for up to 60 months or such other period permitted by the pension board. The obligation to make such payments shall be secured in such manner as prescribed by the pension board. The cost of such benefits shall be calculated by determining the amount the participant would have paid for survivor benefit coverage during all his or her years of creditable service, including those periods of service credited under Section 2.03 of this Act. The calculation shall be based on the participant's actual compensation during each such year of creditable service or, for periods of prior service calculated under Section 2.03 of this Act, under the compensation assumptions applicable to such service, with an 3900 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE annual simple interest rate of 3 percent. If the participant pays such cost in installment payments, payments shall be amortized at an annual rate of 3 percent. The calculation shall also include any contributions that would be required for survivor benefits under an applicable alternate plan, as described in Section 4.02 of this Act." SECTION 5. Said Act is further amended by revising Section 4.03 as follows: "SECTION 4.03. Minimum retirement benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.02 of this Act, a participant who becomes entitled to a normal retirement benefit or a deferred vested benefit shall receive a monthly benefit of not less than $17.00 multiplied by such participant's years of creditable service, not to exceed 40 years; provided, however, that this section shall not apply to any participant who receives a benefit under the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. Any cost of living adjustments due to any participant or beneficiary shall be based on the pension he or she would be entitled to receive under this plan without regard to the provisions of this section, and no such increase shall operate to increase the minimum pension guaranteed by this section." SECTION 6. Said Act is further amended by revising Section 5.03 as follows: "SECTION 5.02. Amount of benefits. Upon attaining early retirement age, a participant shall be entitled to receive the normal retirement benefit calculated and payable as provided in Section 4.02 of this Act. The early retirement benefit of a safety net participant shall be reduced as set forth in subsection (b) of Section 4.02 of this Act. An early retirement benefit shall be unreduced for early commencement except for a participant who retires prior to age 60 or with less than 30 years of creditable service, for whom such normal retirement benefit amount shall be reduced by 1/12 of 2 percent per month for each month by which his or her age is less than 60; provided, however, that this reduction shall not apply to: (1) A participant who retires under the Alternate Plan of 1959; (2) A participant who retires under the terms of subsection (d) of Section 5.01 of this Act; or (3) A nonteacher participant who retires under the terms of subsection (e) of Section 5.01 of this Act." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2012 3901 SECTION 7. Said Act is further amended by revising Section 7.03 as follows: "SECTION 7.03. Recovery of mistaken payments. In the event any benefit is mistakenly paid to a participant, joint annuitant, or beneficiary in an amount which is greater than the amount payable under the terms of this Act, the plan shall recover such excess benefit amount by eliminating or reducing the participant's or beneficiary's future benefit payments; provided, however, that, in addition to any other remedy set forth in this section, the pension board also shall be authorized to recover, collect, and settle any such overpayment amounts in accordance with the procedures set forth by law, including any governmental correction program." SECTION 8. Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (a) of Section 8.01 as follows: "(a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, if a participant has made the required employer contributions for survivor benefits and has a vested interest in all or any portion of his or her accrued benefit, survivor benefits shall be payable on his or her behalf to his or her surviving spouse, if any, or if none, to his or her minor children, if any. If a participant is not married and has no minor children on the date of death, no death benefits shall be payable under the plan, except as provided in Section 8.02 of this Act. Survivor benefits shall be payable to his or her beneficiaries in an amount equal to 70 percent of the benefit which shall be determined under paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection; provided, however, that, for a participant who would have retired under the Alternate Plan of 1959 but for his or her death, survivor benefits shall be payable to the participant's beneficiaries in an amount equal to 75 percent of the benefit which shall be calculated as follows: (1) For survivor benefits payable prior to the participant's benefit commencement date, the amount which would have been payable under Section 6.01 of this Act if the participant had become disabled on the date of his or her death; and (2) For survivor benefits payable on or after the participant's benefit commencement date, the amounts which are payable under subsection (a) of Section 4.02 of this Act, as increased by any cost of living adjustments in effect on the date of his or her death; provided, however, that survivor benefits shall be reduced if the participant's surviving spouse is more than five years younger than the participant in accordance with the following schedule: (3) If the spouse was married to the participant for less than ten years while the participant was in active service with the board, the spouse's benefit shall be reduced by 1/12 of 2 percent per month for each month the spouse was more than five years younger than the participant; (4) If the spouse was married to the participant for ten years or more but less than 15 years while the participant was in active service with the board, the spouse's benefit 3902 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE shall be reduced by 1/12 of 1 percent per month for each month the spouse was more than five years younger than the participant; (5) If the spouse was married to the participant for 15 years or more while the participant was in the active service of the board, or if the spouse is 60 years of age at the time of becoming eligible for benefits, there shall be no reduction in benefits. Survivor benefits to a participant's spouse shall continue for the life of such spouse without regard to his or her remarriage." SECTION 9. Said Act is further amended by revising Section 10.04 as follows: "SECTION 10.04. The Uniformed Services Employment And Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA). (a) As used in this section, the term: (1) 'Qualified military service' means any service in the uniformed services by an individual if he or she is entitled to reemployment rights under federal law with respect to such service. (2) 'Veteran participant' means an employee who: (A) Enters qualified military service; (B) Is reemployed by the employer within such period of time as his or her reemployment rights are guaranteed under Chapter 43 of Title 38 of the United States Code; and (C) Already was or became a participant in the plan at the time of reemployment.

(c) Reemployment Rights. A veteran participant shall not be treated as having incurred a break in service by reason of qualified military service. Each period of qualified military service shall be taken into account in determining the years of creditable service used in calculating the veteran participant's accrued benefits under the plan. (d) Death During Qualified Military Service. If a participant dies on or after January 1, 2007, while performing qualified military service but prior to becoming a veteran participant, the participant's beneficiaries shall be entitled to any additional benefits, other than benefit accruals related to the period of qualified military service, provided under the plan as if the deceased participant had resumed employment with the employer and then severed employment on account of death. Moreover, the plan will credit such participant's qualified military service as service for vesting purposes, as though the participant had resumed employment immediately prior to the participant's death." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2012 3903 SECTION 10. Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (c) of Section 12.01 as follows: "(c) The pension board shall elect its own chairperson and secretary and shall hold a regular public meeting at least once a month at a time and place to be fixed by the pension board. The members of the pension board shall serve without pay. The pension board may employ an executive director and other personnel who shall serve at the will of the pension board at salaries to be designated by the pension board. With the consent of the board of education, such executive director shall be treated as an employee of the Fulton County Board of Education for benefits and tax reporting purposes." SECTION 11. Said Act is further amended by adding a new Section to read as follows: "SECTION 15.08. Amendment. The employer reserves the right to amend the plan at any time by a vote of the majority of the pension board members; provided, however, that an amendment that constitutes a "retirement bill having a fiscal impact," as such term is defined in O.C.G.A. Section 4720-30(6), also shall be approved by a vote of the majority of the board members' provided, further, that a plan amendment shall not go into effect until the General Assembly of Georgia enacts it."
