ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE 153RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA __________ 2015 __________ COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous COMPILER'S NOTE General Acts and Resolutions of the 2015 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 2014-2015 and the Appropriations Act for FY 2015-2016 will be found in the Volume One 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 June 1, 2014, and May 1, 2015, are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4309 and 4583, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 1499, the last page of Volume One, and page 3501, the first page of Volume Two. This allows both volumes to be prepared simultaneously. Because of the number of pages in the volume, Volume One has been divided into two books plus an appendix. The only page numbers in the Volume One Appendix 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; and the Governor's veto messages 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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.

Cook, Secretary of the Senate Mr. Bill Reilly, Clerk of the House of Representatives Mr. Wayne R. Allen, Legislative Counsel GEORGIA LAWS 2015 SESSION 387A 2015 SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY GENERAL LEGISLATION - VETO MESSAGES VETO NUMBER 1 SB 76 Senate Bill 76 would allow motorcycle and bicycle operators to enter an intersection without providing a definitive regard to the traffic signal in instances where the lightweight nature of their vehicle will not activate a traffic-control device. While I am sympathetic to the concerns and causes of motorcyclists and bicyclists, this legislation does not provide an adequate solution and presents a confusing exception to motorists. Furthermore, Senate Bill 76 would eliminate the current 15-inch height restriction placed on motorcycle handlebars. Motorcycles equipped with handlebars more than fifteen inches in height pose a safety hazard due to the increased difficulty in steering and decreased control of the motorcycle's proper operation. In 2014, crashes involving motorcycles and bicycles accounted for thirteen percent of the fatalities on Georgia roads, and I do not see how this legislation will enhance the safety of the motoring and bicycling public. Therefore, in the interest of providing the necessary roadway safety Georgian's deserve, I hereby VETO Senate Bill 76. VETO NUMBER 2 HB 439 House Bill 439, the Georgia New Markets Jobs Act, contains two major tax policy initiatives that affect the Georgia insurance premium tax. It provides for $55 million in tax credits against insurance premium tax liability for certain equity investments in qualified community development entities. During the legislative process, language was added to HB 439 authorizing the Invest Georgia Fund to sell up to $55 million in tax credits against insurance premium tax liability. Each of these concepts merit serious discussion standing on their own; however, the combination of these policy initiatives into one piece of legislation and the prospect of implementing these initiatives at the same time under our current budget environment would have too much of an impact on the general fund. It is my opinion that these initiatives require further study and, thus, I hereby VETO House Bill 439. VETO NUMBER 3 HB 510 House Bill 510 sets up a separate fund of the OneGeorgia Authority to be known as the Georgia Sports Commission Fund. The bill specifies that funding shall be provided by any source allowable by law. The OneGeorgia Authority already has an existing mechanism in place which serves a similar purpose as the proposed legislation. Due to its lack of necessity, I hereby VETO House Bill 510. 388A GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES VETO NUMBER 4 HB 86 House Bill 86 seeks to transfer the Division of Aging Services (DAS) from the Department of Human Services (DHS) to create the Georgia Adult and Aging Services Agency as an attached agency to the Department of Community Health. The legislation would transfer social services such as senior employment services, elderly legal assistance, in-home services, home delivered meals and adult protective services to the Department of Community Health, an agency responsible for the planning and delivery of health care to the citizens and employees of the State of Georgia. This legislation attempts to merge two agencies with diverse missions and methods of service delivery while failing to align elderly services to the agency whose mission and scope is to deliver human services throughout the state. I welcome the opportunity to revisit the restructuring of Division of Aging Services in the future to create a more tailored alignment of services to agency mission. Accordingly, I hereby VETO House Bill 86. VETO NUMBER 5 HB 524 This legislation would create a statewide registry of business trade names to be housed and maintained by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority. This legislation would require those who have already lawfully registered their trade names in the appropriate Superior Court, and paid that Court's fee for doing so, to pay an additional fee to take advantage of the proposed online registry. I also have significant concerns about language in the bill attempting to dedicate a portion these new fees for a specific purpose. For these reasons, I hereby VETO House Bill 524. GEORGIA LAWS 2015 SESSION LOCAL LEGISLATION - VETO MESSAGES 389A VETO NUMBER 6 HB 251 House Bill 251 provides a new charter for the City of Americus. The author of the legislation has requested that HB 251 be vetoed because the bill does not achieve what the author had intended. A separate piece of legislation, HB 425, is the corrected version creating a new charter for the City of Americus. Having reviewed the legislation and considered the request of the author of this legislation, I hereby VETO House Bill 251. VETO NUMBER 7 HB 577 House Bill 577 authorizes Rockdale County to exercise all redevelopment and other powers under Article IX, Section II, Paragraph VII(b) of the Constitution and Chapter 44 of Title 36 of the O.C.G.A., the "Redevelopment Powers Law." The author of the legislation and the Rockdale County delegation of the General Assembly have requested that HB 577 be vetoed because there is an incorrect date within the language of the bill. Having reviewed the legislation and considered the request of the author and the Rockdale County delegation, I hereby VETO House Bill 577. VETO NUMBER 8 HB 580 House Bill 580 authorizes the Recorder's Court of Columbus to levy up to a $25 technology fee to each fine imposed. In 2013, I signed legislation authorizing the Recorder's Court of Columbus to levy up to a $15 technology fee. A $25 fee is excessive compared to similar court fees across the state, and I am concerned that such a fee increase would set an unacceptable precedent for other similar courts. Additionally, this legislation removes the sunset provision placed upon the technology fee. I have previously vetoed this legislation (HB 858) in 2014. For these reasons, I hereby VETO House Bill 580. VETO NUMBER 9 HB 651 House Bill 651 changes the method of filling vacancies on the board of education in Paulding County. The author of the legislation requested that House bill 651 be vetoed because the current bill does not achieve what the author intended. Having reviewed the legislation and considered the request of the author of this legislation, I hereby VETO House Bill 651. VETO NUMBER 10 SB 182 Senate Bill 182 provides for the creation of one or more community improvement districts in Newton County and in each municipality therein. The author of 390A GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES the legislation and the Newton County delegation of the General Assembly have requested that SB 182 be vetoed because there is an error within the bill. Having reviewed the legislation and considered the request of the author as well as the Newton County delegation, I hereby VETO Senate Bill 182. VETO NUMBER 11 SB 215 Senate Bill 215 creates the Schley County Utilities Authority. The author of the legislation has requested that SB 215 be vetoed because the bill does not achieve what the author intended. A separate piece of legislation, SB 220, is the corrected version that allows for the creation of the Schley County Utilities Authority. Having reviewed the legislation and considered the request of the author of this legislation, I hereby VETO Senate Bill 215.

Allen, Legislative Counsel 392A HISTORICAL LIST OF GENERAL ASSEMBLIES HB 76FY 2016 APPROPRIATIONS BILL Line-Item Vetoes by the Governor Section 50, pertaining to the Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 245, Line 355582: This language authorizes the appropriation of $809,900 in debt service to finance projects and facilities for the Department of Community Affairs, specifically for the construction of a seawall on Hutchinson Island in Savannah, through the issuance of $3,500,000 in five year taxable bonds. Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph I (c) requires that general obligation debt may only be issued to "acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state." In this instance, the state does not have ownership of the land identified for the seawall, and thus is prohibited from using general obligation debt to finance this project. Therefore, I veto this language (page 245, line 355.582) in the provisions relative to Section 50 State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund and the state general funds of $809,900.
