OF THE 
STATE OF GEORGIA 
__________

__________ 
COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE 
Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous 
 
 COMPILER'S NOTE 
General Acts and Resolutions of the 2011 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 2010- 2011 and the Appropriations Act for FY 2011-2012 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, 2010 and May 30, 2011 are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4167 and 4251, respectively. 
There are no numbered pages between page 944, 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES 
 
GENERAL LEGISLATION VETO NUMBER 1 
SB 19 - Coin Operated Amusement 
 
Senate Bill 19 attempts to provide much needed clarity to a statute that often leads to murky interpretations and unintended results. On close review, this legislation would expand the reward categories for those who play Class A machines and attempts to clarify the term "gift certificate" that exists in current law. In addition, this legislation attempts to clarify for prosecutors that so-called internet sweepstakes cafes are illegal and subject to prosecution for violating Georgia's prohibition on gambling. I am vetoing this legislation because I do not believe SB 19 provides sufficient clarity or enforcement powers to shut down internet cafes and I also find that the modifications to the current Class A and Class B classifications of coin operated machines could lead to unintended consequences. I look forward to signing legislation in the near future that would more forcefully address these significant concerns. Accordingly, I VETO SB 19. 
 
VETO NUMBER 2 
SB 58 - Indemnification 
Senate Bill 58 removes from the code the separate and lower levels of indemnification provided for injured or deceased state highway employees and also changes the current law on determining who qualifies as a "dependent" for purposes of determining who would be entitled to such indemnification monies. This week, I signed HB 156 which also places our state highway employees on equal footing with other public safety officers covered by O.C.G.A.  45-9-85. However, I VETO Senate Bill 58 because of the change to the current definition of "dependent" for the purpose of determining who is entitled to the indemnification payments. Changing the definition of dependent has the potential of broadening the pool of individuals who could recover from this already limited fund. The current law provides that for a person to be a "dependent of the deceased covered employee or such employees' spouse, the person must have been included as a dependent on the most recent tax return filed by the deceased covered employees or such covered employees spouse." SB 58 would remove this bright line test and, instead, leave the determination of who qualifies as a dependent to "the rules and regulations of the department subject to the approval of the commission." The original intent of this program was to provide some additional funds to the people truly dependent on the state employees' income when an injury or death interrupted the otherwise steady income stream. This bill has the potential to broaden the definition of "dependent", which departs from the original concept of state indemnification. Accordingly, I VETO SB 58. 
 
 GEORGIA LAWS 2011 SESSION 
 
369A 
 
VETO NUMBER 3 SB 86 - Qualified Local Governments/Certified Retirement Communities 
 
Senate Bill 86 attempts to address concerns of smaller cities and counties regarding the expense of developing and maintaining plans in order to obtain certification for "Qualified Local Government" status. While I am sympathetic to the desires of cities and counties to more easily attain such status, the Department of Community Affairs through the promulgation of its own internal rules and regulations, is already attempting to meet their needs. Accordingly, I do not believe this bill is necessary and therefore, I VETO SB 86. 
 
VETO NUMBER 4 
 
SB 96 - Peace Officer Standards 
 
Senate Bill 96 changes the definition of "Peace officer" in Chapter 17 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated relating to the Peace Officers' Annuity and Benefit Fund. At the request of the author, I VETO SB 96. 
 
VETO NUMBER 5 
 
SB 140 - GHEFA 
 
Senate Bill 140 removes the $200 million cap for revenue bonds and allows the Board to issue revenue bonds that they determine are self-liquidating. This legislation defines self-liquidating as revenues derived from the project itself as well as revenue allowed under O.C.G.A.  10-9-49(g) to be used as security for revenue bonds. Of note, this legislation was not requested by the Georgia World Congress Center. Removing the $200 million cap introduces operational risk and the determination of self-liquidating is, at best, ambiguous. I did favor the underlying bill that allows the Board to make the determination on the amount of revenue bonds to issue, but as amended, does not allow for sufficient Executive and Legislative branch input into that decision. Accordingly, I VETO SB 140. 
 
VETO NUMBER 6 SB 163 - Campaign Communication Disclosures 
 
Senate Bill 163 attempts to address the issue of campaign communications in campaigns for state or local office that apparently have failed to provide sufficient clarity on who paid for the communication and whether a candidate authorized such communication. The issue of campaign finance reform has been a consistent theme in Washington, DC and federal court decisions have shown that any type of limitation on the First Amendment right to engage in 
 
 370A 
 
GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES 
 
political speech will receive tough scrutiny. See Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 50 (2010). Such tough scrutiny would be especially likely where a violation of limitations on political speech would constitute a crime - as this legislation provides. It is my assessment that, while the legislation is well intended, the potential vagueness in what constitutes "general public political advertising or literature" and "any colorable imitation of the name of an existing person or organization" would constitute significant First Amendment concerns. Furthermore, as has been the case at the federal level, this legislation would likely add significant operational burdens to producing and distributing campaign messages in the variety of mediums that candidates and citizens now use to engage in political speech. Accordingly, I VETO SB 163. 
VETO NUMBER 7 
HB 226 - Council on Developmental Disabilities 
 
House Bill 226 provides for the creation of individual development accounts to be used by any person whose income is the lesser of 80 percent of the median household income for the area or whose income is less than or equal to 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The funds paid into such an account (which could not exceed $60,000) would be considered custodial accounts and would not be counted as income, assets, or resources of the account holder for the purpose of determining financial eligibility for assistance or services from any federal, federally assisted, state or municipal program based on need. The goal of this legislation is noble in that it seeks to assist those with significant needs like those with a developmental disability. However, this legislation is not narrowly tailored to actually help those with significant and distinct needs, rather it is open for use by any person who meets the income criteria. Furthermore, the criteria for what expenses these accounts may be used to pay for is overly broad and the oversight for how these accounts would be managed is inadequate. I welcome an opportunity to revisit the creation of this type of account next year and create the account in a more narrowly tailored manner that would focus more directly on the populations in Georgia who need assistance in caring for themselves in the community. Accordingly, I VETO HB 226. 
VETO NUMBER 8 
HB 489 - Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor 
 
House Bill 489 seeks to prohibit the State of Georgia from compensating any Medicaid recovery audit contractor with a percentage of the overpayment amounts collected by the contractor. Since Federal law, specifically 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(42), requires all state Medicaid programs to have a recovery audit contractor program whereby payments to the contractors "shall be made on a contingent basis for collecting overpayments," the implementation of HB 489 would result in Georgia's Medicaid program being out of 
 
 GEORGIA LAWS 2011 SESSION 
 
371A 
 
compliance with federal law, which would put at risk billions of dollars in Federal medical assistance funding to the State because Federal Medicaid funds are not available to state Medicaid programs that are out of compliance with the Federal Medicaid state plan requirements, such as the ones found in 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(42). HB 489 would also significantly impair Georgia's ability to detect and deter fraud and abuse within its Medicaid program because it would eliminate an effective option of detecting overpayments. I encourage legislators to help strengthen our capabilities to reduce the prevalence of fraud and abuse in all taxpayer-funded programs next session, and so I VETO HB 489. 
 
LOCAL LEGISLATION VETO NUMBER 9 
HB 602 - Bacon County Board of Elections 
 
House Bill 602 would reconstitute and change the composition of the board of elections and registration for Bacon County to a one member board. A one member county board of elections conflicts with O.C.G.A.  21-2-212, and thus, I VETO HB 602.
