Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous

COMPILER'S NOTE
General and Local Acts and Resolutions ofthe 2005 Extraordinary Session ofthe General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One, Book One beginning at page ES3. The Extraordinary Session convened on September 6, 2005, and adjourned sine die on September 10, 2005. The proclamation of the Governor convening the General Assembly of Georgia in Special Session will be found on page ESI.
General Acts and Resolutions of the 2006 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One, Book One beginning at page I. The Supplementary Appropriations Act for FY 05-06 and the Appropriations Act for FY 06-07 will be found in the Volume One, Book Two Appendix. These two Acts have been separately placed in the Appendix in order to maintain the special formatting and unique characteristics of the underlying bills. Local and Special Acts and Resolutions will be found in Volume Two 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 I, 2005, and April 30, 2006, are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4687 and 4 707, respectively.
There are no numbered pages between page 1113, the last page of Volume One, Book One, and page 3501, the first page of Volume Two. This allows both volumes to be prepared simultaneously. Volume One has been divided into two books because of the number of pages in the volume. The only page numbers in Volume One, Book Two will be those appearing in the underlying bills.
Indexes; lists of Acts, Bills, and Resolutions and their Georgia Laws page numbers; material related to courts; population charts; lists of members of the General Assembly; referendum results; the state auditor's report on funding of retirement bills; and the Governor's veto message are printed in Volume Three. Indexes cover material in both Volumes One and Two. 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.
Each Act and Resolution is preceded by a caption written by the compilers of the 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 number which it was given when it was introduced in the General Assembly. These captions are not part of the 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.

GEORGIA LAWS 2006 SESSION

313A

VETO NUMBER 1

HB 491 HB 491 is local legislation applicable to Towns County. The sponsor of the bill and the Towns County Commissioner have requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO HB 491.
VETO NUMBER 2

HB 809 HB 809 would affect the Superior Court Clerks' Retirement System and would allow a member to change his or her retirement benefits election retroactively. In order to maintain the integrity and actuarial soundness of our retirement plans, these elections must be irrevocable. Due to the wide-ranging ramifications to this and other retirement systems, signing this bill would not be fiscally sound policy for our retirement systems. I therefore VETO HB 809.

VETO NUMBER 3
HB 1164 HB 1164 requires that the state budget for the anticipated expenditures for pending judicial decrees or settlements, attorneys' fees and costs, and the costs of special masters, monitors, auditors, and accountability agents. Disclosure of anticipated costs and fees during the pendancy of contested matters in which the State is a party or anticipates becoming a party would have the unintended effect of compromising the State's legal position in the defense or prosecution of those matters and could result in further costs to the taxpayers of the State. I therefore VETO HB 1164.
VETO NUMBER 4

HB 1168 HB 1168 allows wineries to obtain a floating license, in addition to four other licenses issued for specific locations, for use at different festivals. In addition, this bill allows wineries to sell beer and liquor at tasting rooms and festivals. Traditionally, alcohol licenses are attached to the location where the alcohol is sold, not the person seeking to sell the alcohol. Attaching the license to the person would inhibit the ability to enforce the lawful sales of alcohol. I therefore VETO HB 1168.

VETO NUMBER 5
HB 1182 House Bill 1182 provides a time-limited sales and use tax exemption to a qualifying hall of fame. Because the original purpose for which this bill was passed is no longer a viable state economic development option, I VETO HB 1182.

VETO NUMBER 6
HB 1259 The existing definition of"private detective business," continued in this bill, in conjunction with the applicable exemptions in the law, fails to exclude from the private investigator licensing requirement many professions that collect information or may be called as expert witnesses in court proceedings. To expand the penalty from a misdemeanor to a felony without revision of the existing definitions in the law could result in unintended consequences; I therefore VETO HB 1259.

VETO NUMBER 7
HB 1272 This bill amends the sales and use tax exemption applicable to nonprofit hospitals to include nonprofit licensed nursing homes among other nonprofit health clinics and treatment facilities. The bill contains a sunset provision of June 30, 2008. Because of the unintended consequence of providing a sunset provision applicable to the entities that presently receive this sales and use tax exemption, I VETO HB 1272.

VETO NUMBER 8
HB 1350 HB 1350 is local legislation applicable to Oconee County. The sponsor of the bill and the Oconee County Board of Commissioners have requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO HB 1350.

VETO NUMBER 9

HB 1436 Because HB 1436 allows for transport of single, partially consumed bottles of wine in a latched, but unlocked, compartment of a vehicle, this legislation would put Georgia in noncompliance with federal open container regulations, causing up to 3% of the state's highway construction funds to be at risk. I therefore VETO HB 1436.

VETO NUMBER 10

HB 1469 HB 1469 is local legislation applicable to Town ofWillacoochee. Members of the General Assembly have requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO HB 1469.

VETO NUMBER 11

HB 1544 HB 1544 is local legislation applicable to Rockdale County. This legislation is not consistent with statewide law. I therefore VETO HB 1544.

VETO NUMBER 12

HB 1646 HB 1646 is local legislation applicable to Dodge County. A member of the Dodge County legislative delegation and the Dodge County Board of Commissioners have requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO HB 1646.

VETO NUMBER 13

SB 27 SB 27 exempts private historical military vehicles from the requirement to display a license plate on the vehicle. License plates are a necessary and effective public safety tool for law enforcement. Providing exceptions to this requirement based on the type of vehicle driven on our state highways is contrary to the state's responsibility to provide for the public's safety. I therefore VETO SB 27.

VETO NUMBER 14

SB 95 Among other things, SB 95 creates a licensure board for soil scientists. The Environmental Protection Division of the Department ofNatural Resources and the Department of Human Resources already regulate soil quality issues relevant to the permitting of septic tank and wastewater and sewer systems. I am unwilling to erect complex new regulatory schemes that create additional burdens and expenses to Georgia citizens. I therefore VETO SB 95.

VETO NUMBER 15

SB 236 SB 23 6 provides health care coverage to currently ineligible individuals. Pursuant to this bill, these non-employee recipients will subject the taxpayers of this state to the liability for the employers' contribution without the reciprocal benefit of the services of that employee. Such a tradeoff is detrimental to the continued viability and financial stability of the State Health Benefit Plan. I therefore VETO SB 236.

VETO NUMBER 16

SB 533 SB 533 seeks to clarify current living will provisions relative to those conditions for which a person may request that life sustaining measures be withheld or withdrawn. The sponsor, however, has requested that the bill be vetoed because of the unintended consequences of language in the bill. I therefore VETO SB 533.

VETO NUMBER 17

SB 578 SB 578 attempts to remedy double inspections currently required of waste tank trucks that haul both septic and commercial wastes. I agree with the intent of the legislation; however, there are unintended consequences to the way the

316A

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES

legislation was drafted that will financially burden local governments with an unfunded mandate. This problem can be addressed administratively. I therefore VETO SB 578.

VETO NUMBER 18

SB 670 SB 670 is local legislation applicable to Clayton County. Members of the Clayton County legislative delegation and the Clayton County Board of Commissioners have requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO SB 670.

VETO NUMBER 19

SB 675 SB 675 is local legislation applicable to Clayton County. Members of the Clayton County legislative delegation and the Clayton County Board of Commissioners have requested that it be vetoed. I therefore VETO SB 675.

State Auditor's Report Concurrent Funding of Fiscal Retirement Bills
Enacted During the 2004 Legislative Session

The Honorable Cathy Cox Secretary of State 214 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Ms. Cox:
As required by Section 47-20-5 0.1 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 2006 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 funding of the bill in accordance with the applicable requirements of Code 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 funded as provided by Code Section 47-20-50. If an enacted bill, including one approved by the Governor, is not concurrently funded 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 of July immediately following its enactment.

318A

STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT

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 funding 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.
Respectfully,

RWH/cs
