ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE 154TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA __________ 2017 __________ COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous COMPILER'S NOTE General Acts and Resolutions of the 2017 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 2016-2017 and the Appropriations Act for FY 2017-2018 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 May 1, 2016, and May 1, 2017, are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4015 and 4087, respectively. The order of the Superior Court of Colquitt County accepting the surrender of the municipal charter of the Town of Riverside is printed in Volume Two beginning on page 4195. There are no numbered pages between page 858, the last page of Volume One, and page 3501, the first page of Volume Two. This allows both volumes to be prepared simultaneously. 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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 Georgia State Senate Mr. Bill Reilly, Clerk of the Georgia House of Representatives Mr. Wayne R. Allen, Legislative Counsel GEORGIA LAWS 2017 SESSION 381A 2017 SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY VETO MESSAGES VETO NUMBERS 1 AND 2 HB 131 and HB 132 House Bills 131 and 132 relate to repealing the constitutional amendment creating the Fulton County Industrial District (FCID) and then annexing the property into the City of South Fulton. The FCID is the only portion of Fulton County that remains unincorporated after the creation of the City of South Fulton in 2016. The FCID, however, cannot be annexed by any municipality due to a pre-existing local constitutional amendment to the Constitution of Georgia and enabling legislation. There has been continued debate between the City of Atlanta and the City of South Fulton as to which city this district should belong, the cities and property owners involved, though, need to first come to an agreement to determine the future of the FCID. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO HB 131 and HB 132. VETO NUMBER 3 HB 174 House Bill 174 expands the permissible medium of payment allowed under insurance policies. Currently, Georgia law provides that it shall be unlawful for any insurer to provide in a policy or contract of insurance that the amount of any loss or indemnity accruing thereunder shall be payable in anything other than legal tender of the United States. O.C.G.A. 33-24-43. To be clear, this statute does not prevent alternative methods of payment that are not legal tender of the United States when the insured accepts such payment as satisfaction of a claimsuch a statute would be impractical and in need of serious revisionsrather, the statute refers to forms of payments that an insured would be legally required to accept in accordance with their policy. HB 174 would expand this statute, permitting insurers to contractually require payment of claims via forms other than legal tender including general use gift cards, thereby compelling an insured to accept such a form of payment. A general use gift card is not an appropriate means of payment for most losses or indemnities which may accrue under an insurance policy as, generally, this form of payment is not deducible to cash, its value cannot be deposited into a bank account, there are no or few recourses for a lost or stolen value card, and the card may be subject to expenditure limits with retailers. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO HB 174. 382A GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES VETO NUMBER 4 HB 359 House Bill 359, while well intentioned, creates a parallel and unchecked system to our Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS), unintentionally placing children at risk. The Power of Attorney created by HB 359 allows parents and "agents" to go around the well-established confines of legal adoption and/or our child welfare system, granting a power of attorney for a child to an individual, or even a non-profit corporation, with no oversight. The state has dedicated significant resources to the Department of Family and Children Services during my time as Governor in order to improve the safety and outcomes for children in foster care. The state should consider all options that help in streamlining the process for a child to be adopted, placed into a loving home, or improved foster care environment; however, creating a parallel system in which DFCS has no oversight runs contrary to the progress the state has made in strengthening our child welfare system. In light of the fact that a comprehensive rewrite to the adoption code failed to pass this year, I encourage the Leadership of both chambers, supporters of this legislation, and the child welfare advocacy community to work together over the next year in crafting legislation that continues to strengthen our existing system and streamlines the processes of adoption so that children may reach permanency more quickly. I believe a comprehensive foster care/adoption reform legislative package is in Georgia's best interests in 2018. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO HB 359. VETO NUMBER 5 HB 425 House Bill 425 encourages the State Board of Education to implement assessment opt-out procedures and encourages the allowance of paper-and-pencil formats for such assessments. First, as I stated in my veto of SB 133 last year, local school districts currently have the flexibility to determine opt-out procedures for students who cannot, or choose not to, take these statewide assessments and I see no need to impose an additional layer of state-level procedures for these students. Additionally, encouraging the administration of assessments in paper-and-pencil format impedes the state's priorities of returning test data to districts as quickly as possible, and reducing the opportunity for cheating. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO HB 425. VETO NUMBERS 6 AND 7 HB 439 and HB 440 House Bill 439 de-annexes two parcels of land from the City of Atlanta. House Bill 440 then annexes these two parcels into the City of Sandy Springs. I do not feel that these bills received the proper amount of discussion during the legislative session and require more time for all parties to discuss the effects of these bills. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO HB 439 and HB 440. GEORGIA LAWS 2017 SESSION 383A VETO NUMBER 8 SB 125 Senate Bill 125 authorizes physicians to delegate their authority to prescribe hydrocodone compound products to physician assistants. This language would add several thousand prescribers to our healthcare system and, as a result, create the potential for hundreds of thousands more opioid prescriptions to be issued. Like many other states, Georgia is currently in the grips of an opioid abuse epidemic and this change is incongruent with the state's efforts to quell that problem. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO SB 125. VETO NUMBER 9 SB 222 Senate Bill 222 creates the Local Government 9-1-1 Authority and makes significant changes to the fee collection and disbursement process for local public service answering points. The authority created by SB 222 is a quasi-independent authority with little oversight from, or coordination with, the state. The lack of oversight could lead to obvious negative consequences stemming from the absence of accountability, and further the lack of state coordination could hamper local and state joint responses in emergency situations. Finally, the bill states that the authority, executive director, and staff would be appointed or hired after July 1, 2017, but fees collected that fund the authority would not be collected until July 1, 2019. This would result in a two year period with no funding for the authority or its staff. I do, however, believe that public service answering points are essential for the effective operation of police, firefighting, and ambulance services. In order to keep the 9-1-1 reform process moving, I plan, by executive order, to establish a Local Government 9-1-1 Authority to be housed at the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMHSA). Additionally, I will be creating and appointing the position of executive director for this authority to oversee the day-to-day operations. In order to have a better state-wide public safety communications network and 9-1-1 service it is necessary to locate this authority within GEMHSA, which handles all other aspects of emergency management for the state. I look forward to working with the General Assembly next year to codify the executive order and enact additional measures to strengthen 9-1-1 services throughout the state. For the foregoing reasons, I hereby VETO SB 222. 384A GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES Nathan Deal GOVERNOR STATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900 May 1, 2017 The Honorable Casey Cagle Lieutenant Governor 240 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334 The Honorable David Ralston Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives 332 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Dear Gentlemen: Please be advised that I have identified language to disregard for the following section in House Bill 44: Non-Binding Information Language to Disregard: Section 28, pertaining to the Department of Human Services, page 133, line 200.7.
