The following proclamation was read: BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA A PROCLAMATION CONVENING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA IN SPECIAL SESSION WHEREAS: Article V, Section II, Paragraph VII of the Constitution of the State of Georgia grants to the Governor the power to convene a special session of the General Assembly by proclamation, stating and thereby limiting the purposes of the special session; and WHEREAS: The Regular Session of the 2018 General Assembly adjourned sine die on March 29, 2018; and WHEREAS: The Governor has determined that certain purposes warrant the convocation of a special session; and THEREFORE: By virtue of the power and authority conferred upon me by the Constitution of Georgia, I, Nathan Deal, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby convene the General Assembly of this State in Special Session on Tuesday, November 13, 2018, for the purposes and only those purposes specified as follows: 1.

Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Georgia at the City of Atlanta, on this 9th day of November, 2018. /s/ Nathan Deal GOVERNOR ATTEST (SEAL) /s/ Chris W. Riley CHIEF OF STAFF The following communications were received: State of Georgia Office of the Governor Atlanta 30334-0900 May 8, 2018 The Honorable David Ralston Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives 332 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Dear Speaker Ralston: I have vetoed House Bills 354, 410, 441, 507, 508, 549, 550, 586, 600, 754, 795, 870, 912, 942, 995, 1039, and 1047 which passed the General Assembly during the 2018 Regular Session. Article III, Section V, Paragraph XIII of the Georgia Constitution requires that I transmit these bills to you together with the reasons for such vetoes. These bills and corresponding reasons for the vetoes are attached.

Article III, Section V, Paragraph XIII of the Georgia Constitution requires that I transmit these bills to you together with the reasons for such vetoes. These bills and corresponding reason for the vetoes are attached. Sincerely, /s/ Nathan Deal ND:cm Attachment 4 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE cc: The Honorable David Ralston, Speaker, Georgia House of Representatives The Honorable Brian Kemp, Secretary of State The Honorable Chris Carr, Attorney General Mr. David A. Cook, Secretary of the Georgia State Senate Mr. Bill Reilly, Clerk of the Georgia House of Representatives Mr. Wayne R. Allen, Legislative Counsel 2018 Session of the Georgia General Assembly Veto Messages Veto Number 1 HB 354 House Bill 354 reconstitutes the Georgia International Maritime Trade Center Authority (GIMTCA) as a public corporation and instrumentality of the state. The Authority created by HB 354 is made up of appointments by each member of the Georgia General Assembly who represent a portion of Chatham County, the County Manager of Chatham County, the City Manager of the City of Savannah, the President of the Savannah Economic Development Authority, and the President of the Savannah Area Convention and Visitors' Bureau. HB 354 also grants the Authority broad power to issue revenue bonds without any cap on the aggregate amount, unlike other authorities which are subject to aggregate limits on the amount of bonds that may be issued. Moreover, unlike many of our other state authorities, GIMTCA has no gubernatorial appointments, nor does it have a legislative oversight committee. The Authority's lack of executive and legislative oversight and theoretically unlimited bond capacity could lead to obvious negative consequences for the entire state stemming from the absence of accountability. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HB 354. Veto Number 2 HB 410 House Bill 410 provides a list of information that home owners associations, property owners associations, and condominium owners associations would be required to provide to a homeowner upon request and caps the fees the association could charge for producing and transferring that information. First, the cap provided by HB 410 is, to my knowledge, lower than that of any other state in the nation with such a cap and may not be sufficient to cover costs of providing the information required, which could result in increased costs to association members. Second, such associations often contract with private parties to provide these services so that association members need not complete the tasks personally, on behalf of the association. Consequently, it appears that HB 410 could impose burdensome responsibilities on associations and their members and, regardless, absent sufficient justification, parties should generally be left alone to dicker the terms of their private agreements without government intrusion. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HB 410. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2018 5 Veto Number 3 HB 441 House Bill 441 would allow for the creation and use of self-settled spendthrift trusts--also known as self-settled asset protection trusts. Under current law in Georgia, a spendthrift provision may be included in a trust instrument which, generally, can shield the assets in the trust from certain creditors of a beneficiary. However, a spendthrift provision is inapplicable to a beneficiary who is also a settlor or contributor, to the extent of the contribution to the trust. Self-settled asset protection trusts, as proposed in HB 441, would allow a person to create, or settle, a trust naming the settlor as a beneficiary, while shielding the trust assets from certain creditors. Such trusts have been subject to controversy and scrutiny due to the potential opportunity to shirk creditors while preserving the assets of the trust for distribution to the settlor/beneficiary. In a recent trend, many states have begun permitting self-settled asset protection trusts which were previously prohibited throughout the United States, though a majority continue to prohibit such trust instruments. I commend the authors for their willingness to seek input and adjust the bill throughout the legislative process, but am concerned of possible unintended consequences presented by a complex new estate planning tool. Though I do not dismiss the potential merit of these proposed trust instruments in comprehensive estate planning, I have not yet been convinced of the need for such trusts in Georgia. As a state, we want to ensure that the creditor-debtor relationship is an equitable one that facilitates economic prosperity and mobility, and self-settled spendthrift trusts--without proper safeguards-- have the potential to negatively impact this balance. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HB 441. Veto Numbers 4, 5, 6, and 7 HB 507, 508, 549 and 550 House Bills 507, 508, 549 and 550 provide governing authorities for the cities of Jonesboro, Morrow, Lovejoy and Lake City, respectively. The House sponsors of the legislation requested vetoes for HB 507, 508, 549 and 550 because the language of the bill mistakenly references 2017 dates instead of 2018 dates. The authors of the bills have also expressed the desire to have these bills vetoed so they may start over with new legislation next session. For this reason, I VETO HB 507, HB 508, HB 549, and HB 550. Veto Number 8 HB 586 House Bill 586 provides for the Charter for the City of Reynolds. The language of the bill mistakenly references 2017 dates instead of 2018 dates. The General Assembly passed, and I have signed, a separate bill during the 2018 legislative session which has the corrected dates. For this reason, I VETO HB 586. 6 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Veto Number 9 HB 600 House Bill 600 amends the Charter of the City of Stonecrest by providing term limits for the mayor of Stonecrest while expressly permitting councilmembers to remain in office for an unlimited number of terms. Additionally, the bill removes the Mayor's power to vote with the City Council, except in the case of a tie. These amendments to a city charter that has been in effect for less than two years have not, apparently, received the proper amount of discussion during the legislative session as legislators from the delegation could not reach a consensus. For this reason, I VETO HB 600. Veto Number 10 HB 754 House Bill 754 would allow insurers domiciled in Georgia to divide into two or more insurers. Any plan of division must be submitted to and approved by the Commissioner of Insurance, giving the Commissioner broad discretion to decide on a case by case basis if the company meets the requirements to divide. If a company was deemed acceptable by the Commissioner to divide and one of the resulting insurers stopped turning a profit, issues could arise as to how to distribute the liability. I am unaware of the need for the division process provided for in HB 754 and am unconvinced that the appropriate safeguards are provided for in the proposed legislation. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HB 754. Veto Number 11 HB 795 House Bill 795 would subject the State Board of Worker's Compensation to many of the requirements of the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act, from which it is explicitly exempted by current law. The Board's current rulemaking and proposed legislation process relies on a consensus of stakeholders through its advisory council. This bill would permit, and to some extent encourage, the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, the House Industry and Labor Committee, and the Senate Insurance and Labor Committee to override such consensus, effectively giving the legislature significant control over worker's compensation policy. While I do not doubt the sincere intention of the author of this amendment to HB 795, this shift seems to undermine the policy objectives behind the creation of the state's Worker's Compensation system and circumvent the largely successful advisory council process. Rather than significantly altering this process through a late amendment to an otherwise innocuous bill, I encourage the legislature to focus on providing input to the Board of Worker's Compensation through current law and Board rules. Similarly, it is imperative that the Board of Worker's Compensation continue to provide notice of proposed rules to relevant legislative committees pursuant to Board rules and to encourage appropriate comment and legislative interaction. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HB 795. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2018 7 Veto Number 12 HB 870 House Bill 870 annexes the Fulton County Industrial District ("FCID") into the City of South Fulton. The FCID is the only portion of Fulton County that remains unincorporated after the creation of the City of South Fulton in 2016. The FCID cannot be annexed by any municipality due to a local constitutional amendment to the Constitution of Georgia dating to 1979. The FCID is unique in that it consists of predominantly commercial and industrial properties, therefore only the relatively small number of residents who apparently live in the district--not the majority of property owners and users--would dictate via referendum whether to incorporate the area into the City of South Fulton. It is my belief that Fulton County citizens should first vote on repeal of the constitutional amendment before beginning discussions about annexation of this unique unincorporated, and largely non-residential, area into any city. For this reason, I VETO HB 870. Veto Number 13 HB 912 House Bill 912 allows the Spalding County State Court to impose additional fees of up to $50 on any court cost associated with a guilty or nolo contendere plea. The bill also authorizes a failure to appear fee which can amount to as much as $100. I believe these additional costs are unnecessary and impose a significant burden on those appearing in the Spalding County State Court. County appropriations should be sufficient to support the expenses of this court without placing fees on individuals in addition to the substantial court costs already imposed. For this reason, I VETO HB 912. Veto Number 14 HB 942 House Bill 942 creates the Savannah Farmers Market Commission as a political subdivision of the state and public corporation. The Commission would consist of members appointed only by the Chatham County Delegation to the General Assembly and would work with the Savannah State Farmers Market to plan and execute agricultural events and programs along with other powers and duties. While I am encouraged by the local delegation's support for agricultural programs and their support of farmers using the market, I am unconvinced of the necessity for a new political subdivision of the state to support such efforts and do not want to displace the role of local government in that endeavor. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HB 942. Veto Number 15 HB 995 House Bill 995 aims to provide more transparency with respect to local government contracts with private consultants. The language contained in HB 995 was largely lifted from a standard form contract that is used by the Department of Administrative Services when state entities enter into agreements with private 8 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE consultants. However, because of this, the bill is not suitably tailored to the subject of HB 795: various local governments. While I commend the authors' attempt to protect the local government contracting process, I fear that copying contract language used by state-level entities to create legislation regulating local governments--without appropriate adaptations--will lead to varying interpretations among the state's local economic development authorities and, as a result, difficulty in fostering economic development. Moreover, the legislation contains language, seemingly unintentionally, that would apply only to state entities while the purpose of the bill is to regulate local government contracts. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO House Bill 995. Veto Number 16 HB 1039 House Bill 1039 creates the Big Canoe Water and Sewer Authority as a political subdivision of the state and public corporation. The authority's purpose would be to acquire, construct, equip, maintain, and operate an adequate water supply, water treatment facilities, and distribution facilities within the authority limits. The House sponsors of HB 1039 have requested this bill be vetoed. For this reason, I VETO HB 1039. Veto Number 17 HB 1047 House Bill 1047 permits the State Court of Washington County to collect a $15.00 fee as a surcharge to each fine paid in the court. The money collected from the fee would be earmarked to fund various technology improvements for the Washington County Sheriff's Office and disbursed at the discretion of the Sheriff. I am not convinced that the installation of a new fee is necessary for funding technology in the Sheriff's Office; such costs of modernization and technological improvement should be borne by existing or future local government appropriations, not by those appearing in court. For this reason, I VETO HB 1047. Veto Number 18 SB 315 Senate Bill 315 proposes to create the crime of unauthorized computer access. The intent of this legislation is to strengthen cyber security laws to protect national security interests and to safeguard sensitive or private information of government, citizens, and consumers. As technology continues to advance and evolve in the digital age, a robust discussion on cyber security policy that meets the needs of the public and industry stakeholders is of critical importance. Georgia's emergence as a leader in cyber technology, particularly the presence of U.S. Army Cyber Command, the state's Cyber Range, and a wide range of private tech companies and cyber research institutions, further necessitates the need for comprehensive cyber security debate, discussion, and measures. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2018 9 Under the proposed legislation, it would be a crime to intentionally access a computer or computer network with knowledge that such access is without authority. However, certain components of the legislation have led to concerns regarding national security implications and other potential ramifications. Consequently, while intending to protect against online breaches and hacks, SB 315 may inadvertently hinder the ability of government and private industries to do so. After careful review and consideration of this legislation, including feedback from other stakeholders, I have concluded more discussion is required before enacting this cyber security legislation. The work done this session by the legislation's sponsors and stakeholders provides a solid foundation for continued collaboration on this issue. It is my hope that legislators will work with the cyber security and law enforcement communities moving forward to develop a comprehensive policy that promotes national security, protects online information, and continues to advance Georgia's position as a leader in the technology industry. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SB 315. Veto Number 19 SB 338 Senate Bill 338 significantly modifies requirements for agency rule making under the Administrative Procedure Act, requiring agencies to file a notice of intent to adopt or amend a rule at least 60 days prior to the effective date of the proposed adoption, and hold a meeting on adoption at least 30 days after the issuance of the notice and at least 30 days prior to the proposed rule's effective date. Second, SB 338 gives the General Assembly more time and eases statutory requirements to override a new or amended rule; the General Assembly could take up the override of a proposed rule at any point during the legislative session and such an override would not be subject to a gubernatorial veto, moreover, in some circumstances, a bare majority of a legislative committee could hold a proposed rule in limbo until the 40th day of the next legislative session. It is my firm opinion that the current Administrative Procedure Act provides sufficient safeguards in the instances that SB 338 addresses--requiring 30 days-notice of an agency action, permitting legislative committees to object to the rule and override such rule by a simple majority subject to gubernatorial consent or by a two-thirds vote without signature of the Governor, and requiring any action taken to override a veto be completed prior to the 30th day of the legislative session. In addition to unnecessarily ceding power from the executive branch and slowing the ability of state government to respond by way of agency rulemaking, SB 338 places those who are subject to regulation of state agencies on unstable ground, possibly jeopardizing our state's business climate. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SB 338. 10 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Veto Number 20 SB 342 Senate Bill 342 would allow a vehicle owner to retain possession of his or her vehicle upon being cited for failing to have the required revalidation decal affixed upon the license plate if such an owner provides evidence to the court that he or she has attached the decal since being cited. Current law, however, already provides a mechanism by which an owner may retain possession of his or her vehicle upon a violation--that is, if the owner shows to the court that the revalidation decal had been properly applied for but had not yet been received before being cited. This legislation would diminish the deterrent enforcement of revalidation decal violations and is unnecessary given the leniency exception already provided by law. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SB 342. Veto Number 21 SB 357 Senate Bill 357, while well-intentioned, creates several unnecessary additional levels of government. The proposed director of health care policy and strategic planning along with the Health Coordination and Innovation Council and an additional advisory board would be attached to the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, yet the director of OPB would have no functional control over these newly created positions and entities. In addition to the practical management and organizational issues presented by this structure, a new Governor will be elected this November and it should be left to that individual to shape their executive team in 2019. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SB 357.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA: SECTION 1. Chapter 7 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to income taxes, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: "48-7-40.36. (a)(1) The General Assembly finds and determines that Hurricane Michael has had a catastrophic impact on the citizens and the economy of southwest Georgia, has particularly devastated the timber industry on which the citizens of southwest Georgia are heavily dependent for their livelihood, and has created both a public fire hazard and a danger of insect infestations due to the massive amounts of downed timber caused by the severity of this natural disaster. (2) The General Assembly further finds and declares that it is appropriate and advisable to provide relief to the timber industry in the form of a tax credit targeted to those taxpayers that have suffered substantial economic losses and that will have to incur significant expenses for salvaging downed timber, site clearance, and reforestation of timber over the coming years. (b) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Disaster area' means the real property encompassed by the borders of the 28 counties included in the renewal of the State of Emergency pronounced in the Executive Order of the Governor dated November 6, 2018, and filed in the official records of the office of the Governor as Executive Order 11.06.18.01. (2) 'Eligible timber property' means timber which on October 8, 2018, was being grown by a taxpayer in a disaster area as part of a trade or business or a transaction entered into for profit. (3) 'Timber' means trees grown for the primary purpose of commercial production of food or wood or wood fiber products. (4) 'Timber casualty loss' means the amount of the diminution of value included in the computation of the casualty loss deduction for such casualty losses claimed and allowed pursuant to Section 165 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as casualty losses incurred by a taxpayer between October 9, 2018, and December 31, 2018, as a result of damage to or destruction of eligible timber property caused by Hurricane Michael. (c)(1) A taxpayer shall be allowed tax credits against the tax imposed by this article in an amount equal to 100 percent of such taxpayer's timber casualty loss; provided, however, that the credit amount shall not exceed the number of the taxpayer's affected acres of eligible timber property in such disaster areas multiplied by $400.00. 168 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (2) To claim such tax credits, a taxpayer shall submit an application for preapproval of such credits based on timber casualty losses incurred by such taxpayer. A taxpayer shall either submit its preapproval application between January 1, 2019, and May 31, 2019, for a first round of preapprovals or between July 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, for a second round of preapprovals, if applicable. (d)(1) The commissioner shall require preapproval applications to contain such information as is necessary to substantiate a taxpayer's eligibility for tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section. (2) The commissioner is authorized to require electronic submission of preapproval applications in the manner specified by the commissioner. (3) The commissioner shall review completed preapproval applications in the order in which such applications were submitted and shall provide notice to each taxpayer that submitted an application within 30 days of receipt stating whether such taxpayer's application is complete or incomplete. (4) In no event shall the commissioner preapprove tax credits pursuant to this Code section in an amount that exceeds $200 million in aggregate. (5) In the event that properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications are submitted for an amount that exceeds the amount of funds available to fully fund the tax credits requested, the commissioner shall prorate the available funds between or among the applicants. (6) The commissioner shall approve properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications and issue a preapproval certificate to the taxpayer by June 30, 2019, certifying the amount of credits such taxpayer is eligible to claim if the taxpayer meets the conditions of this Code section. (d.1)(1) If, on July 1, 2019, the commissioner has not preapproved tax credits in the amount of $200 million in aggregate pursuant to this Code section, a second round of preapproval applications shall be reviewed by the commissioner. Preapproval applications for the second round shall be submitted on or after July 1, 2019, and on or before December 31, 2019. (2) In the event that properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications are submitted during the second round for an amount that exceeds the amount of funds available to fully fund the tax credits requested, the commissioner shall prorate the available funds between or among the applicants. (3) The commissioner shall approve all properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications during the second round and issue a preapproval certificate to the taxpayer by January 31, 2020, certifying the amount of credits such taxpayer is eligible to claim if the taxpayer meets the conditions of this Code section. (e) In no event shall the amount of the tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section exceed $200 million in aggregate. (f)(1) Tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall be eligible to be claimed only by the taxpayer to which a preapproval certificate was issued by the commissioner. Such tax credits shall only be claimed in the taxable year in which the taxpayer first completes the replanting of timber in a quantity projected to yield at maturity at least THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2018 169 90 percent of the value of the timber casualty loss claimed. Such timber shall be planted within the same county in which the eligible timber property was being grown when the timber casualty loss was incurred. Timber market conditions as of October 8, 2018, shall be used for the purposes of establishing projected value. (2) In order to claim such tax credits, a taxpayer shall attach to such taxpayer's state tax return certification from the taxpayer that the requirements of this Code section have been met and any other information required by the commissioner including information which demonstrates that it has completed the replanting of timber required pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection. (3) Any tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall be claimed on or before December 31, 2024. (g)(1) The total amount of the tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section for a taxable year may exceed the taxpayer's income tax liability. Such tax credits allowed in excess of a taxpayer's income tax liability shall be refundable to such taxpayer. (2) Tax credits claimed pursuant to 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 credits are claimed. (h)(1) A taxpayer claiming tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall be required to reimburse the department for any department initiated audits relating to the tax credits, provided that such amount shall not exceed the value of the credits claimed by the taxpayer. This paragraph shall not apply to routine tax audits of such taxpayer that may include the review of the tax credits provided in this Code section.

(a)(1) The General Assembly finds and determines that Hurricane Michael has had a catastrophic impact on the citizens and the economy of southwest Georgia, has particularly devastated the timber industry on which the citizens of southwest Georgia are heavily dependent for their livelihood, and has created both a public fire hazard and a danger of insect infestations due to the massive amounts of downed timber caused by the severity of this natural disaster. (2) The General Assembly further finds and declares that it is appropriate and advisable to provide relief to the timber industry in the form of a tax credit targeted to those taxpayers that have suffered substantial economic losses and that will have to incur significant expenses for salvaging downed timber, site clearance, and reforestation of timber over the coming years. (b) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) 'Disaster area' means the real property encompassed by the borders of the 28 counties included in the renewal of the State of Emergency pronounced in the Executive Order of the Governor dated November 6, 2018, and filed in the official records of the office of the Governor as Executive Order 11.06.18.01.

(c)(1) A taxpayer shall be allowed tax credits against the tax imposed by this article in an amount equal to 100 percent of such taxpayer's timber casualty loss; provided, however, that the credit amount shall not exceed the number of the taxpayer's affected acres of eligible timber property in such disaster areas multiplied by $400.00. (2) To claim such tax credits, a taxpayer shall submit an application for preapproval of such credits based on timber casualty losses incurred by such taxpayer. A taxpayer shall either submit its preapproval application between January 1, 2019, and May 31, 2019, for a first round of preapprovals or between July 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, for a second round of preapprovals, if applicable.

(6) The commissioner shall approve properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications and issue a preapproval certificate to the taxpayer by June 30, 2019, certifying the amount of credits such taxpayer is eligible to claim if the taxpayer meets the conditions of this Code section. (d.1)(1) If, on July 1, 2019, the commissioner has not preapproved tax credits in the amount of $200 million in aggregate pursuant to this Code section, a second round of preapproval applications shall be reviewed by the commissioner. Preapproval applications for the second round shall be submitted on or after July 1, 2019, and on or before December 31, 2019. (2) In the event that properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications are submitted during the second round for an amount that exceeds the amount of funds available to fully fund the tax credits requested, the commissioner shall prorate the available funds between or among the applicants. (3) The commissioner shall approve all properly completed and timely submitted preapproval applications during the second round and issue a preapproval certificate to the taxpayer by January 31, 2020, certifying the amount of credits such taxpayer is eligible to claim if the taxpayer meets the conditions of this Code section. 172 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE (e) In no event shall the amount of the tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section exceed $200 million in aggregate.

(3) Any tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall be claimed on or before December 31, 2024. (g)(1) The total amount of the tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section for a taxable year may exceed the taxpayer's income tax liability. Such tax credits allowed in excess of a taxpayer's income tax liability shall be refundable to such taxpayer. (2) Tax credits claimed pursuant to 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 credits are claimed. (h) Tax credits claimed pursuant to this Code section but not used by the taxpayer against its income tax or refunded may be transferred or sold one time to a single other Georgia taxpayer, subject to the following conditions: (1) Only the taxpayer that claimed tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall make the transfer or sale of such tax credits; (2) The taxpayer that claimed the tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall submit to the commissioner written notification of any transfer or sale of tax credits within 30 days after the transfer or sale of such tax credits.

The carry-forward period for tax credits that are transferred or sold shall begin on the date on which such tax credits were originally claimed; (5) A transferee shall have only such rights to claim and use the tax credits that were available to the transferor at the time of the transfer. To the extent that the transferor did not have rights to claim or use the tax credits at the time of the transfer, the commissioner shall disallow the tax credits claimed by the transferee or recapture the tax credits from the transferee or transferor. The transferee's recourse shall not be against the commissioner; and (6) The transferee must acquire the tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section for a minimum of 60 percent of the amount of the tax credits so transferred. (i)(1) A taxpayer claiming, transferring, or selling tax credits allowed pursuant to this Code section shall be required to reimburse the department for any department initiated audits relating to the tax credits, provided that such amount shall not exceed the value of the credits claimed by the taxpayer. This paragraph shall not apply to routine tax audits of such taxpayer that may include the review of the tax credits provided in this Code section. (2) The commissioner shall have access to timber property for the purpose of determining eligibility for both the preapproval and claiming of tax credits allowed and conducting audits pursuant to this Code section, provided that prior notice is given to any taxpayer that submitted an application for the preapproval of tax credits or that transferred or claimed such tax credits and the owner of the underlying real property. (3) The commissioner may pursue all remedies available by law as necessary to recapture tax credits wrongfully preapproved, allowed, or claimed by a taxpayer or a taxpayer's transferee. (4) The commissioner shall be authorized to consult with the Georgia Forestry Commission as necessary to administer and enforce this Code section. (j) The commissioner shall be authorized to promulgate any rules and regulations necessary to implement and administer this Code section." SECTION 2.
