ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
2007
COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE
Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous
COMPILER'S NOTE
General Acts and Resolutions of the 2007 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One, Book One beginning at page 1. The Supplementary Appropriations Act for FY 06-07 and the Appropriations Act for FY 07-08 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 1, 2006 and April 30,2007 are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4391 and 4447, respectively.
There are no numbered pages between page 776, the last page of Volume One, Book One, and page 350 I, 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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.

366A
GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES
Several bills that combine unrelated tax incentives to different organizations and sectors of the state's business sector passed the legislature this session. Tax bills deal with unique issues and should be considered individually. Disparate provisions should not be logrolled together to combine an otherwise acceptable provision with an untenable one, as such practice often results in the total bill being unacceptable. I support many of the provisions contained in the bills listed below, but other provisions within the same legislation prevent me from signing them into law. The General Assembly has long held a policy of strictly adhering to the single subject rule when proposing tax incentive bills: I fully support that practice. For these reasons, I VETO the following bills:
VETO NUMBER 1 HB 148
Sales and use tax exemptions relating to aquariums and energy use by manufacturers and processors;
VETO NUMBER 2 HB 162
Sales and use tax exemptions relating to arts centers and health clinics;
VETO NUMBER 3 HB 413
Sales and use tax exemptions relating to arts centers and nature centers;
VETONUMBER4 HB451
Tax credits related to development of tourism attractions and the development of film, video, or digital productions.
VETO NUMBER 5
HB 48
HB 48 broadens the classification of persons that would be eligible for an
indemnification award from state government. It also greatly expands the type of activity
that qualifies for indemnification awards to include nonhazardous activity. For these reasons,
and the unknown fiscal consequences associated with this legislation, I VETO HB 48.
VETO NUMBER 6
HB 69
HB 69 would limit the Department of Driver Services from charging a fee to
access driving records online. Costs are associated with maintaining driving records and
public access to those records. This legislation would require the State to make up lost funds
with general revenue provided by taxpayers. Because those who choose to use the public
resources ought to bear the cost of that use, I VETO HB 69.
GEORGIA LAWS 2007 SESSION
367A
VETO NUMBER 7
HB 76
HB 76 prohibits the use ofGeorgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA)
and the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center (GISAC) agency nomenclature
and symbols without the consent of the GEMA director. The Homeland Security Director
and not the GEMA director possesses jurisdiction over GISAC. Due to this error, I VETO
HB 76.
VETO NUMBER 8
HB 91
HB 91 requires State agencies to annually provide certain detailed financial
information to the Department of Audits and Accounts for subsequent reporting to the
General Assembly by September 30. Essentially all of the non-confidential information
requested in the bill is currently available to members of the General Assembly on-line
through their budget offices or published State reports- such as the travel, salary, per diem
and fee, and non-profit contractor reports, which are annually published through the
Department of Audits and Accounts. Other information is available through the federal
Single Audit Report, Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and the Budgetary
Compliance Report published by the State Accounting Office. In addition, both legislative
budget offices can run reports and queries from the PeopleSoft accounting system and have
access to on-line inquiries. They each have access to the State's asset management, accounts
payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, labor distribution, and budget module financial
systems. In addition, public disclosure of other information, like a listing of unduplicated
recipients of health care services or benefits, could violate the federal Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act. Because the bill is overly broad, and because members
ofthe legislature already have access to the non-confidential information sought, I VETO HB
91.
VETO NUMBER 9
HB 105 HB 105 allows the Commissioner of Agriculture to unilaterally establish licensing fees for several professions and businesses. No legislative guidance or limits are provided. Given these concerns, I VETO HB 105.
VETO NUMBER 10
HB 117 HB 117 would subject dealerships of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles to franchise regulation: dealers that are not franchisees would be prohibited from selling such vehicles in Georgia. One provision would limit franchise opportunities to established places of business. This result provides a new barrier to entry into the marketplace that I cannot support. Regrettably, another provision cleaning up language from
368A
GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES
the recreational vehicle franchise law introduced as HB 297, was tacked on to this bill. While I support the intent behind HB 297, I VETO HB 117.
VETO NUMBER 11
HB 202 HB 202 provides additional requirements related to public works and other contracts with the state. The bill would inadvertently require all public works contracts to be reviewed by the Department of Transportation to determine both the length and the cause of any delay, even if the DOT was not the contracting state entity. This is beyond the scope of the DOT's mission. I therefore VETO HB 202.
VETO NUMBER 12
HB 218 HB 218 would restrict the flexibility that the Georgia Ports Authority currently has in hiring certain personnel. Such limitations on the Authority are not needed at this time, for the Authority already generally employs personnel with the qualifications required by the bill. For these reasons, I VETO HB 218.
VETO NUMBER 13
HB 229 HB 229 relaxes the triggers that safeguard HOPE dollars for future generations. It also allows lottery winners to assign their winnings to third parties. By passing this legislation, the General Assembly chose to weaken HOPE's safeguards without addressing the possible, future financial shortfalls in the HOPE program. This concern is compounded by the General Assembly's decision not to preserve HOPE dollars for strictly educational purposes. Consequently, I VETO HB 229.
VETO NUMBER 14
HB 242 HB 242 provides tax exemptions for high-deductible health insurance plans. The exemptions would apply to individuals' personal income taxes and the State's premium tax paid by insurers. I support legislation that provides incentives for individuals to use high-deductible health insurance plans, but by adding the premium tax exemption, the General Assembly dramatically increased the cost ofthe proposal: $61 million over six years. To be sure, a more expansive review of the premium tax may be warranted, and comprehensive health care transformation is needed. This costly proposal, however, may be best reviewed as part of- and not independent from- such reform. For these reasons, I VETO HB 242.

HB 327 HB 327 would allow local housing authorities to apply to the Department of Revenue to receive reimbursement on debts incurred through an individual debtor's income tax return. Compounded with the numerous logistical challenges of implementing this program, I believe that it is a local entity's - not the Department of Revenue's responsibility to collect the debt it incurs. I therefore VETO HB 327.
VETO NUMBER 16
HB 363 HB 363 affects the Georgia Military College and the HOPE Grant program. For the purposes of receiving State financial aid, the Georgia Military College is considered a private institution. The institution currently receives the Tuition Equalization Grant and the private HOPE Scholarship award. The HOPE Grant is limited to public institutions under the University System of Georgia and the Department of Technical and Adult Education. Therefore, Georgia Military College receiving state financial aid as a public and private institution is not warranted. Because this bill would effectively abolish this well-founded condition on the receipt of HOPE grant funds, I VETO HB 363.
VETO NUMBER 17
HB374 HB 374 would revise certain sections of the hotel motel tax Article in the Official Code of Georgia. I do not believe that these revisions achieve the intended goal of the bill to more standardize this Article, as certain definitions added in the Article remain defined elsewhere in the Article. The result would likely cause confusion in interpreting the Article. I therefore VETO HB 374.
VETO NUMBER 18
HB 386 HB 386 clarifies provisions for superior court clerks regarding fees and cross-indexing. It also extends the sunset date for superior court clerks real estate and personal property filing fees from July 1, 2012 to July 1, 2014. I believe that sunset provisions should carry meaning. Extending a program that is not set to expire for another five years even further into the future undermines the concept of a legislative sunset. I therefore VETO HB 386.
VETO NUMBER 19
HB 430 HB 430 greatly expands the power ofrailroad companies in Georgia by making their properties immune from adverse possession. Currently, only the State and the disabled are protected in such a manner. Moreover, a provision of this bill would negatively affect

VETO NUMBER 20
HB 441 HB 441 would eliminate the interest expense offset against certain tax-exempt interest income that a taxpayer may have. The effect of this bill would be to eliminate 2005 legislative changes meant to clarify the process and bring the state into conformity with the vast majority of other states and the federal approach to expense offsets for certain tax-exempt obligations. I have asked the Department of Revenue to look into the concerns to be addressed in HB 441, and the Department has assured me that it is committed to clarifying the current formula through rule and regulation such that taxpayers will receive the most positive treatment possible under the original intent of the 2005 legislation. The Department plans to complete this regulation promulgation process by September 30, 2007. For the foregoing reasons and the planned efforts by the Department, I VETO HB 441.
VETO NUMBER 21
HB 467 HB 467 mandates that university system institutions give a certain number of credit hours for those students that successfully complete the challenging International Baccalaureate (IB) program. I am firmly committed to increasing the rigor of the academic study for Georgia's students; however, usurping the University System of Georgia's constitutional authority by mandating the amount of credit to be awarded by a university system institution is unwarranted. Instead, I am requesting that the University System of Georgia to determine the proper amount of credit hours to be given by system institutions that will appropriately encourage enrollment in and recognize the rigor of the IB program. For these reasons, I therefore VETO HB 467.

HB 529 HB 529 changes certain functions relating to the State's budget and reporting processes. The bill however does not change various budgeting terms such as "object classes" and "budget units," which have not been used in years and were positive changes previously included in SB 254. Neither term is germane to program budgeting, therefore, I VETO HB 529.
VETO NUMBER 26
HB 549 HB 549 seeks to amend prior authorization requirements for recipients of Medicaid funded services. The proposed changes inadvertently conflict with federal mandates on Medicaid services. Specifically, HB 549 would restrict the State's ability to conduct appropriate prior authorization review as required by federal regulations (CFR 433.15(b)(7)). Federal regulators have also indicated an objection to the establishment of different standards for recipients based on a general categorization of their condition rather than based on an individual's specific medical needs and likely rehabilitation and recovery (CFR 440.240). For these reasons, federal approval of the changes mandated by HB 549 is not expected. The timeliness of these services, particularly to this constituency is important. I am, therefore, directing the Department of Community Health to continue its efforts to provide for a more streamlined preauthorization process so as not to unduly burden the practitioners and patients this bill seeks to assist. I therefore VETO HB 549.
VETO NUMBER 27
HB 559 HB 559 provides that teachers and employees of charter schools are to be considered employees for purposes of participating in the State Health Benefit Plan. Presently, teachers and employees of charter schools may participate in the State Health Benefit Plan pursuant to Department of Community Health Rule 111-4-1-.01 (17). This bill, however, fails to require that charter schools make an election at the time of the charter's inception. To allow a charter school to elect to participate in the State Health Benefit Plan at any time could allow adverse selection and be detrimental to the continued viability and financial stability of the State Health Benefit Plan. Therefore, I VETO HB 559.

HB 807 HB 807 is local legislation applicable to the City of Auburn in Barrow County. This legislation removes from the municipal limits of the City of Auburn several parcels of property that the city had previously annexed. The deannexation contemplated by this legislation would create unincorporated islands within the City of Auburn. This result is contrary to the letter and policy ofstate law regarding annexation and unincorporated islands, see O.C.G.A. 36-36-4 and 36-36-92. For these reasons, I VETO HB 807.

SB 14 extends the sunset date for superior court clerks real estate and personal
property filing fees from July I, 2012 to July I, 2014. I believe that sunset provisions should

VETO NUMBER 32
SB 15
SB 15 seeks to increase the penalties for driving without a valid license. In
addition to other punishments, it provides that a first offense would result in a misdemeanor
to be punished by imprisonment of at least two days and not more than twelve days. It also
authorizes a $500 to $1,000 fine for first offenses. This broad provision would catch not only
those who willfully drive without any valid license, but also persons who move into the State
with a valid out-of-state driver's license that have not obtained a Georgia driver's license
within 30 days of establishing residency. Though judges may suspend the period of
imprisonment ifthe new resident had a valid driver's license from another state and had good
cause for not yet obtaining a Georgia one, SB 15 does not prevent that new resident from
being booked and fingerprinted. I fear an unintended consequence of this legislation, as
drafted, would subject persons with valid out-of-state driver's licenses to stout criminal

penalties even absent the commission of a willful act. Thus, although I support the intent of tracking persons that possess no valid driver's license, the potential harms of this legislation cause me to VETO SB 15.
VETO NUMBER 33
SB 100 SB 100 increases all identity document fraud crimes to a felony for those over 21 years of age and decreases from a felony to a misdemeanor certain identity document fraud crimes by persons younger than 21 years of age. I agree with the legislative intent of preventing document fraud, but the reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor for those under age 21 who are trafficking false documents is too broad. For this reason, I VETO SB 100.
VETO NUMBER 34
SB 135 SB 135 would increase the minimum financial penalties for the unlawful reproduction, transfer, sale, distribution and circulation of recorded material. It would also allow a trade association representing victims of such unlawful acts to receive restitution and investigation costs associated with bringing an enforcement action in court. Permitting trade associations to recover funds that are owed to a victim statutorily expands the types of recovery - both in terms of amount and scope of recipients - allowed in criminal prosecutions. This sets a dangerous statutory precedent, and I am concerned about the potential proliferation of trade association-solicited lawsuits of any kind. Consequently, I VETO SB 135.
VETO NUMBER 35
SB 193 SB 193 mandates that counties providing health insurance benefits to employees also provide benefits to certain county officers. A decision regarding health insurance benefits in these counties is a local matter; it should be determined at the local level and not by an unfunded mandate from the General Assembly. I therefore VETO SB 193.
VETO NUMBER 36
SB 224 SB 224 would, among other things, extend the exemption from entry into the Georgia Electronic Insurance Compliance System (GEICS) to include all commercial auto insurance policies. This would, in effect, reduce the number of vehicles that are included into the GEICS system by an unknown quantity and would limit the state's ability to ensure that drivers are insured. Because of these unintended consequences, I therefore VETO SB 224.

SB 225 SB 225 limits requires local government officials and members of school boards to attend training on Tax Allocation Districts (TADs). Other sections of the legislation limit the discretion of school boards to evaluate property subject to TAD and prohibit boards from considering potential appreciation of property values within the TAD absent the proposed redevelopment. The training requirements have significant merit; I support them wholeheartedly. The other provisions appear to have been motivated by a unique, local issue. The legislation would inappropriately, however, apply statewide. In addition to this concern, the latter provisions appear to impede the collaborative consideration of TADs by cities, counties and school boards. I therefore VETO SB 225.
VETO NUMBER 38
SB 251 SB 251 requires that the Department of Revenue establish and maintain a website that will include the license plate numbers and vehicle identification numbers of vehicles that have been reported as stolen and vehicles that have been towed without the knowledge or consent of the owner. This bill also sets up penalties for tow companies and others that must submit information for the website. As drafted, SB 251 would require the Department of Revenue~ through general revenue funds paid by all taxpayers~ to support the creation and maintenance of such a website and the resulting enforcement. As the requirements in this bill would not be funded through the beneficiaries of the service created, I VETO SB 251.
VETO NUMBER 39
SB 310 SB 310 is legislation applicable only to Jefferson County. The County Commission was not consulted before this .legislation was introduced, but the County Commission must provide for the unfunded mandate contained in SB 310 through taxpayer funded general revenue.

Section 16, pertaining to the Department ofCommunity Affairs, page 43, items 60.2 and 60.3:
The General Assembly appropriates funds for specific projects through the Department of Community Affairs' Local Assistance Grants. Such grants are intended to be small but meaningful grants to local communities for certain projects. Such grants are not the appropriate method to include large grants to local communities. As the identified grants are significantly larger than the numerous other small but meaningful grants, I veto these items.
Section 21, pertaining to the Department of Early Care and Learning, page 90, line 106.7 and part of line 106:
The General Assembly appropriated $900,000 in state general funds to the Pre-Kindergarten program in order to provide funds to the Ferst Foundation for distribution of one book per month to children ages 0 to 5 years in participating counties. While reading to children is important, due to the failure to provide sufficient funding available to implement the program on a statewide basis and no consideration of need, I veto the state general funds of $900,000 in the Pre-Kindergarten program.
Section 22, pertaining to the Department of Economic Development, page 95, lines 116, 116.1, 116.2, and 116.99:
The General Assembly appropriated $633,685 state general funds for the purpose of providing operating funds for the Golf Hall of Fame. The Conference Committee agreed to provide $500,000 for operations and $75,000 for a feasibility study for a private/public partnership. These funds are in addition to $58,685 currently provided for operating support. The amount appropriated represents an increase of over 980% and seems excessive given other needs in the state budget. Therefore, I veto this program and the associated appropriation.
Section 34, pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources, page 192, lines 274 and 274.2:
The General Assembly appropriated $250,000 in state general funds for the Georgia State Games Commission. State funding for this program is not justified, as the intention of this funding is not consistent with the mission of the program. Therefore, I veto this appropriation.

Section 46, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 251, line 381.10 and part of line 381:
The General Assembly appropriated $5,000,000 in state general funds for Local Road Assistance, specifically for the LARP program. Under my administration, LARP has been funded at record levels. In Fiscal Year 2006 funding for LARP increased by 58% over funding in Fiscal Year 2005. Even without the $5,000,000 in state general funds, LARP will be funded at the second highest annual appropriation since 1990 ($60,000,000 in motor fuel funds). The utilization ofstate general funds for LARP contradicts current policy. Therefore, I veto the appropriation of state general funds of $5,000,000.
Section 49, pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 262, line 397.108:
This language authorizes the appropriation of $387,600 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Department of Public Safety specifically for the repair of the burn building and to build a new apparatus for students at the Georgia Fire Academy through the issuance of$1 ,700,000 in 5-year bonds. In consideration of other priority items as expressed by the General Assembly and limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan, this project is not warranted. Therefore, I veto this language (page 262, line 397.1 08) in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $387,600.

Financing for this project should not be considered until a decision has been made regarding the viability of a research park and suitability of this location for economic development. Due to limitations on additional debt contained in the state's debt management plan and the reasons stated above, I veto this language (page 263, line 397 .206) in the provisions relative to Section 49 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $427,150.

In order to issue bonds on a project, the state must have the property rights to the road. The projects identified are not on state routes and therefore cannot be funded using this method.
