Local and Special Acts and Resolutions will be found in Volwne II beginning at page 3501. Home rule actions by counties and consolidated governments and by municipalities filed in the Office of the Secretary of State between May 1, 2003, and April 30, 2004, are printed in Volwne II beginning at pages 4545 and 4681, respectively. The charter of the Cusseta-Chattahoochee County consolidated government is printed in Volwne II beginning at page 4811.
There are no nwnbered pages between page 1112, the last page ofVolwne I, and page 3501, the first page of Volume II. This allows both volwnes to be printed simultaneously. Volwne II has been divided into two books because of the nwnber of pages in the volwne. Page nwnbers will run consecutively between the books in the volwne.
Indexes; lists of Acts, Bills, and Resolutions and their Georgia Laws page nwnbers; material related to courts; population charts; lists of members of the General Assembly; referendwn results; the state auditor s report on funding of retirement bills; and the Governor's veto message are printed in Volwne ill. Indexes cover material in both Volwnes I and II. The tabular indexes list matter by broad categories. The general index is a detailed alphabetical index by subject matter. When possible, general Acts have been indexed by reference to the titles of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list ofCode sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.
Each Act and Resolution is preceded by a caption written by the compilers ofthe Georgia Laws solely to assist the reader in quickly determining the subject matter of the Act or Resolution. This caption includes the Act number assigned by the Governor and the House or Senate Bill or Resolution nwnber which it was given when it was introduced in the General Assembly. These captions are not part ofthe Act or Resolution when they are enacted or adopted by the General Assembly. Each Act or Resolution which was signed by the Governor is followed by the approval date on which it was signed by the Governor.

322A
GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES
VETO NUMBER 1
House Bill183
House Bill 183 addresses the issue of who can and who
cannot "tattoo the body of any person ... within one inch of ... the eye socket of
such person." It further would increase the penalty for a second violation of the
prohibition against such tattooing to a high and aggravated misdemeanor, meaning
the potential fine for such tattooing is $5,000. Because that high a criminal fine is
out of proportion with the offense, I VETO House Billl83.
VETO NUMBER 2
House Bi11198
Among other things, House Billl98 requires "[e]ach local
board of education [to] adopt a policy providing for a code of ethics to govern
members ofthe local board ofeducation." For the second year in a row, and despite
the hard work of many reform-minded members of both the House and Senate, the
General Assembly failed to pass any ethics reform whatsoever applicable to the
General Assembly itself. I remain firmly committed to reforming the ethics laws
governing state elected officials, which, as I have so often pointed out, are among
the weakest of any state in the nation. The General Assembly, having failed to pass
ethics reform applicable to itself, has not earned the right to pass down a mandate
for ethics reform applicable to local school boards; I therefore VETO House Bill
198.
VETO NUMBER 3
House Bi11267
House Bill267lowers the maximum employee contribution
rate for the Teachers Retirement System from six percent to five percent, and the
minimum from five percent to three percent. Although I would not object to
providing flexibility to lower the contribution rate below five percent, setting the
maximum at five percent places an undue burden on the system's Board ofTrustees
and limits the system's ability to respond appropriately to adverse market
conditions. We must protect the solvency of the retirement system for teachers.
Those who served our students and our state for decades of their lives should not
have their retirement put at risk. I therefore VETO House Bill267.
VETO NUMBER 4
House Bill 502
House Bill 502 would provide for future cost of living
adjustments to the state grant appropriated for the compensation ofjuvenile court
judges. Prior to 2000, Georgia counties were almost entirely responsible for funding
the juvenile court system, including paying the salaries of juvenile court judges.
GEORGIA LAWS 2004 SESSION
323A
During the 2000 Session of the Georgia General Assembly, the Legislature significantly raised the State's fmancial commitment to juvenile justice by passing a law that required a mandatory "grant" to counties to fund a juvenile court judge in each circuit at $85,000 per year. The State's intent with the enactment ofthat bill was to provide a maximum "grant" to local governments, not to assume full responsibility for funding salaries ofjuvenile court judges. Legislators and judges believed that counties would continue to support juvenile courts and supplement. juvenile court judges' salaries.
The COLAS anticipated in House Bill 502 would be the first step toward a deviation from the maximum grant funding level the General Assembly approved in 2000. Juvenile Court judges play a vital role in our judicial system. As state policy changes increase judges' caseloads in the future, or ifthe General Assembly in a future session makes clear that it wishes to reverse the policy decision it made in 2000, I will revisit this issue. I VETO House Bill 502.
VETO NUMBER 5
House Bill 923
House Bill 923 addresses a number of unrelated issues
relating to the state's retirement systems. As a threshold matter, retirement bills deal
with unique issues, and as such, should be considered individually as stand-alone
bills as opposed to bills like House Bill923 that logroll several disparate provisions
together. I am particularly concerned about this bill adding yet another group of
executive branch employees-this time administrative law judges-to the Judicial
Retirement System, which was originally intended for elected judicial officials. I
therefore VETO House Bill 923.
VETO NUMBER 6
House Billl162 House Bill1162 would enact the Ignition Interlock Device Providers Act, regulating the providers ofsuch devices. No case has been made that such devices or-their providers are in need ofadditional state regulation beyond that the judicial system already provides. The bill also contains an unrelated provision establishing and regulating rotation lists for auto towing services for government use. Absent a strong case demonstrating a need for additional state regulatory authority, I am not inclined to erect additional and complex state regulatory mechanisms. I therefore VETO House Bill 1162.
VETO NUMBER 7
House Bill1394 Among other things, House Bill 1394 eliminates an exception currently in the law that exempts elementary school and high school
324A
GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES
athletic trainers from licensing requirements. The Georgia School Boards Association and the Georgia School Superintendents Association have expressed concerns that this bill would place an undue burden on school systems, particularly smaller, less wealthy, and rural systems, to pay for extensive training and licensure of everyone involved in school athletics whose functions arguably might require licensure if this exception is removed. Because we should not impose such burdensome regulation on local systems without a compelling case that such regulation is vitally needed, I VETO House Bill 1394.
VETO NUMBER 8
House Billl451 House Bill 1451 seeks to promote a laudable goal: that engaged couples seek professional premarital counseling prior to marriage. The bill increases the fee for a marriage license from $10 to $50 if the applicant couple has not completed a "qualifying marriage preparation program." Although I am wholly in support of the idea of premarital counseling, the bill seeking to codify this idea into law suffers from the following ambiguities and technical flaws. First, by specifying that for a member ofthe clergy to perform the qualified counseling, such clergy member must be "active." Retired members of the clergy should not be excluded from providing the required counseling, particularly given the many years of experience many such retired clergy members have. Second, the bill speaks to required "counseling," but requires that the "counseling shall include at least four hours of instruction." Because the term "counseling" is undefmed, it is not clear whether the required "counseling" is cumulative of the required "four hours of instruction," or whether additional "counseling," falling outside the defmition of "instruction," is also prescribed. Being unwilling to introduce uncertainty and vagueness into so fundamental a social institution as marriage, I VETO House Bill 1451.
VETO NUMBER 9
House Billl512 House Bill 1512 would grant the Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners the authority to expunge records of certain disciplinary infractions by licensed chiropractors. The entire purpose of public disciplinary records oflicensed professionals is to inform the public of infractions so that persons seeking to engage the services of professionals are apprised of any violations committed by professionals. Furthermore, it is not clear from this bill precisely what sort of infractions the Board could expunge. I therefore VETO House Bill 497.
GEORGIA LAWS 2004 SESSION
325A
VETO NUMBER 10
House Bill1652 House Bill 1652 would create a "Regional Commission on Homelessness." The functions and purposes of this Commission are duplicative of those of the Commission I have already created by Executive Order No. 02.11.04.0 1, the "Georgia Interagency Homeless Coordination Council." I therefore VETO House Bill1652.
VETO NUMBER 11
House Bill669
House Bill669 is local legislation applicable to Clay County.
The sponsor of this bill has requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO House
Bill669.
VETO NUMBER 12
House Bill739
House Bill739 would change the Probate Courts Retirement
Fund system in two ways: first, to allow a member to name a beneficiary other than
a spouse; and second, to allow a surviving spouse to name a beneficiary other than
himself or herself. The only other state retirement system allowing the first option
is the Judicial Retirement System, and the members of that system contribute an
extra 2.5 percent for spousal or other designee benefits, whereas House Bill 739
does not provide for any additional contribution by its members. It appears that no
other system allows the second option. Further review is needed before granting
these enhanced benefits to a single system. I therefore VETO House Bill 739.
VETO NUMBER 13
House Bill 960
House Bill 690 is local legislation applicable to the City of
Perry. The sponsor of this bill has requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO
House Bill 960.
VETO NUMBER 14
House Bill1754 House Bill1754 is local legislation applicable to the City of Griffin. The sponsor of this bill has requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO House Bill 1754.

House Billl831 House Billl831 is local legislation applicable to the City of Alpharetta. The sponsor of this bill has requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO House Bill 1831.
VETO NUMBER 16
Senate Bill423
Senate Bill423 constricts the appointment authority of the
Governor relating to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association in two ways: ftrst,
it requires the appointment ofa botanist; second, it replaces the current requirement
that one member "be a resident ofthe metropolitan Atlanta area" with a requirement
that one member "be a resident ofthe Stone Mountain area [undefined]." Ifpersons
interested in the work of the Association desire the appointment to the Association
of a botanist or someone living closer to Stone Mountain, I would encourage them
to submit any such names for consideration to the Office ofthe Governor. Because
the appointment power of the Governor should not be constricted in statute,
however, I VETO Senate Bill423.
VETO NUMBER 17
Senate Bill431
Among other things, Senate Bill 431 requires the
Commissioner of Community Health to make various reports concerning the State
Health Beneftt Plan. Because this information is readily available to members ofthe
General Assembly upon request, I VETO Senate Bill431.
VETO NUMBER 18
Senate Bill 449
Among other things, Senate Bill 449 enacts the "Soil
Scientists Licensing Act of 2004." No case has been made that unlicensed soil
scientists have posed a danger to the public. The Environmental Protection Division
of the Department ofNatural Resources and the Department ofHuman Resources
already regulate the soil quality issues relevant to the permitting of septic tank and
wastewater and sewer systems. Absent a compelling case, I am unwilling to erect
complex new regulatory schemes that create additional burdens. I therefore VETO
Senate Bill449.
VETO NUMBER 19
Senate Bill604
Senate Bill604 would create a presumption that every public
safety worker who is disabled by contracting hepatitis, HIV, meningococcal
meningitis, or tuberculosis has suffered such disability "in the line ofduty," thereby
GEORGIA LAWS 2004 SESSION
327A
entitling any such worker to disability benefits. If such a worker contracts one of the listed illnesses, it would be at best invasive and difficult, and at worst impossible, to rebut and disprove this presumption. The practical effect ofthis bill would be to extend disability benefits intended for injuries in the line of duty to every public safety worker who contracts one of the listed illnesses. I therefore VETO Senate Bill604.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES
VETOES - HB 1181
Section 41, pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services, page 38, lines 1625 through 1627
This language was approved in the 1996 session ofthe General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an BOOmegahertz system. All communications equipment purchases are now under the direction of the Georgia Technology Authority and this language is inconsistent with general law. Therefore, this language (lines 1625 to 1627, page 38) in the Provisions Relative to Section 4, Department ofAdministrative Services is vetoed and has been vetoed previously.
Section 42, provisions relative to Department of Community Affairs, page 38, line 1653
This line item reads, "City ofAugusta, Funding for the Augusta Mini-Theater after school program" and is funded at $50,000. Given our current budget environment, this funding should be obtained from private and local sources. Therefore this line item (line 1653, page 38) in the provisions relative to Section 7, Department of Community Affairs, is vetoed.
Section 49, pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources, page 40, lines 1734 through 1742:
Since FY 2000 state funds appropriated to the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources have been used to match federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to provide mass transit subsidies for state employees. The use of state funds for subsidies to individuals has required special authorizing language in each appropriation bill since the initiation of this program. In FY 2003, the Georgia Building Authority began providing the state employee mass transit subsidy program with non-state funds. This program has been subsequently transferred to the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority. This language is no longer necessary. Therefore, this language (lines 1734 to 1742, page 40) in the Provisions Relative to Section 24, Department ofNatural Resources is vetoed.
GEORGIA LAWS 2004 SESSION
331A
Section 53, pertaining to the Department ofTransportation, page 41, lines 1780 through 1784:
This language authorizes the Department to transfer position counts betweenbudget functions provided that the Department's total position count shall not exceed the maximum number of annual positions assigned by law. All executive branch agencies are legally authorized to amend their budgets and transfer positions between budget functions when the Office of Planning and Budget has approved a properly drawn amendment to the annual operating budget. In addition, the number of positions in each budget function is not specified in the Governor's budget recommendation to the General Assembly or in the annual Appropriations Act making this language unnecessary. Therefore, this language (lines 1780 to 1784, page 41) in the Provisions Relative to Section 36, Department of Transportation is vetoed and has been vetoed previously.
Section 53, pertaining to the Department ofTransportation, page 42, lines 1789 through 1791:
This language authorizes the Department to use available funding for right-of-way acquisition for a multi-lane road to connect the Atlanta Motor Speedway to Interstate 75 via State Road 20 and State Road 3. This project was funded in FY 2001. In addition, as a state route, this project is eligible for motor fuel funds and special language is not necessary. Therefore, this language (lines 1789 to 1791. page 42) in the Provisions Relative to Section 36, Department ofTransportation is vetoed and has been vetoed previously.
Section 62, pertaining to Federal Funds, page 44, lines 1891 through 1895:
This language essentially provides a pool of federal money to be available only to supplant state funds. It prohibits an amendment offederal funds above the amount appropriated in the Appropriations Act for purposes other than to supplant state appropriations for the pertinent programs. This language limits the state's ability to accept additional federal funds as they become available throughout the fiscal year. Therefore, this language (lines 1891 to 1895, page 47) in Section 62 is vetoed and has been vetoed previously.
Section 63, pertaining to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 5152, lines 2189 through line 2195
This language authorizes the appropriation of $41,760 to finance projects and facilities of the Board ofRegents of the University System ofGeorgia, specifically to plan and design renovations for an administrative/classroom building and a
332A
GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES
dormitory for post-secondary education and public safety use, through the issuance of $480,000 in principal amount of General Obligation Debt for 20 years. This project should not be considered for funding until a decision has been made as to the primary use of the facility. Therefore. this language (line 2189 through line 2195) in the Provisions relative to Section 39, General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund is vetoed.
Section 63, pertaining to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 52. lines 2201 through line 2205
This language authorizes the appropriation of $43,500 to finance projects and facilities of the Board ofRegents of the University System of Georgia, to provide public library facilities by grant to the governing board of the Wheeler County Public Library for that library, through the issuance of $500,000 in principal amount of General Obligation Debt for 20 years. This project does not appear on any priority list of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Therefore, this language (line 2201 through line 2205) in the Provisions relative to Section 39. General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund is vetoed.
Section 63, pertaining to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 52, lines 2220 through 2226
This language authorizes the appropriation of $97,875 to fmance projects and facilities ofthe Board ofRegents of the University System ofGeorgia, specifically a student center at Georgia Perimeter College, through the issuance of$1,125,000 in principal amount ofGeneral Obligation Debt for 20 years. The Georgia Perimeter College project is included in the amount appropriated ($97,155,000) in lines 1913 to 1919 on page 45. Lines 2220 to 2226 funds the Georgia Perimeter College project a second time at an excess cost of$1,125,000. Therefore, this language (lines 2220 to 2226. page 52) in the Provisions Relative to Section 39, State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund is vetoed.

State Auditor's Report Concurrent Funding of Fiscal Retirement Bills Enacted During the 2004 Legislative Session
The Honorable Cathy Cox Secretary ofState 214 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Ms. Cox:
As required by Section 47-20-50.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the following report is submitted for printing in the annual session laws of the State of Georgia. This report covers all fiscal retirement bills that had actuarial evaluations and were enacted during the 2004 legislative session. The report is organized in numerical order by House or Senate bill number and indicates whether or not provision has been made for the concurrent fimding of the bill in accordance with the applicable requirements ofCode Section 47-20-50.
Any fiscal retirement bill that is enacted by the General Assembly and is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law shall become effective on the first day of July immediately following the regular session during which it was enacted, but only if the enacted bill is concurrently fimded as provided by Code Section
334A
STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
Report to Cathy Cox, Secretary of State Concurrent Funding of Enacted Fiscal Retirement Bills May27, 2004 Page2 of3
47-20-50. If an enacted bill, including one approved by the Governor, is not concurrently fimded as required, then that bill may not become effective as law and shall be null, void, and of no force and effect and shall stand repealed in its entirety on the first day ofJuly immediately following its enactment.
Following the close of each regular legislative session during which fiscal retirement bills may be enacted, the State Auditor is required to determine whether or not provision has been made for concurrent fimding of each bill enacted which is not vetoed by the Governor. This determination is based upon the cost of the bill as reported to the General Assembly during the legislative session. This report complies with this requirement.
It should be noted that one House bill was passed that affects the Fulton County School Employees Pension Fund (House Bill 975). Presently, we are unable to make a final determination regarding the concurrent fimding of this bill. The fiscal year 2005 budget for the Fulton County Board of Education will not be finalized until June 10, 2004, which is after the deadline for this report. Upon final approval of the Fulton County Board of Education budget, we will promptly issue an amended concurrent fimding report.
Respectfully,

Enacted During the 2004 Legislative Session
The Honorable Cathy Cox Secretary of State 214 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Ms. Cox:
Following the close of each regular legislative session during which fiscal retirement bills may be enacted, the State Auditor is required to determine whether or not provision has been made for the concurrent funding of each bill that was enacted and was not vetoed by the Governor. On May 27, 2004, our office issued this report to comply with that requirement.
In this report, we noted that we were unable to make a final determination regarding the concurrent funding of House Bill 975, which affects the Fulton County School Employees Pension Fund. A determination could not be made since the Fulton County Board of Education had not yet approved the budget for fiscal year 2005.
The Fulton County Board of Education has now approved its budget for fiscal year 2005. This amendment is to notifY you ofthe funding status for this legislation.
