COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE
Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous

COMPILER'S NOTE
General Acts and Resolutions of the 2020 Extraordinary Session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One beginning at page ES3. The Extraordinary Session was held on March 16, 2020. The proclamation of the Governor convening the General Assembly in Special Session will be found on page ES1.
General Acts and Resolutions of the 2020 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One beginning at page 1. The Supplementary Appropriations Act for FY 2019-2020 and the Appropriations Act for FY 2020-2021 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, 2019, and May 1, 2020, are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 4159 and 4209, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 921, 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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. Except as otherwise noted in the volume, 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 BRIAN P. KEMP 2020 SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
VETO MESSAGES & SIGNING STATEMENTS

Veto 1
House Bill 935 would create the Recorder's Court of Gwinnett County. At the request of the bill's sponsor, I VETO HOUSE BILL 935.
Veto 2
House Bill 991 creates the Healthcare Transparency and Accountability Oversight Committee which would "have the authority to review the performance and conduct of all state healthcare plan contractors and their subcontractors." The Committee would be comprised of nine members: one physician, one pharmacist, and one consumer member who is a member of the State Health Benefit Plan. The other six members would be members of the General Assembly, with two appointments by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker respectively. The Committee would be vested with the authority to request and review records relating to state healthcare plan contractors and their subcontractors, submit written questions and compel responses from the Department of Community Health and other entities, prepare recommendations on contracting, prepare recommendations on legislative initiatives, retain third-party consultants, and request an audit of any contractor or subcontractor with the Department of Audits and Accounts. The bill would further require contractors and subcontractors to make their records available to the Committee within thirty days of the request and provide an annual report to the Committee for reports and statements relative to their performance of the state contract.
The Georgia Constitution provides that "[t]he legislative, judicial, and executive powers shall forever remain separate and distinct; and no person discharging the duties of one shall at the same time exercise the functions of either of the others except as herein provided." GA. CONST. art. I, 2, III. Further, Code Section 16-10-9 makes it unlawful for members of the General Assembly to hold office "... in the executive branch of the state government or any agency thereof..." O.C.G.A. 16-10-9(a)(1). A violation of such law is punishable as a misdemeanor. O.C.G.A. 16-10-9(b).
As the Georgia Supreme Court has warned, the doctrine of the separation of powers "is the means by which `democracy undertakes to preserve the liberties of the people from excessive concentrations of authority.'" Galer v. Bd. of Regents of the Univ. Sys., 239 Ga. 268, 270 (1977) (quoting United Public Workers v. Mitchell, 330 U.S. 75 at 91 (1947)). Despite the bill enumerating that "[n]othing in this Code section shall be construed to enable the oversight committee to act on its own to, or otherwise prevent the department

GEORGIA LAWS 2020 SESSION

377A

or any other state agency from, entering into, renewing, or terminating a contract with a contractor for a state healthcare plan," 2020 Ga. H.B. 991 at 75-78, this statement is largely pretextual. Two-thirds of the proposed committee's members would be members of the General Assembly. Further, the powers prescribed to the proposed committee largely supplant the planning, policymaking, and oversight powers exercised by the Board of Public Health. See O.C.G.A. 31-2-4. Since such boards are considered creatures of the executive branch of state government, it is possible that service by members of the General Assembly on the Healthcare Transparency and Accountability Oversight Committee could violate the separation of powers. See Murphy et al. v. Georgia, 233 Ga. 681 (1975); Dep't of Transp. v. Atlanta, 260 Ga. 699 (1990); Albany Surgical, P.C. v. Dep't of Cmty. Health, 257 Ga. App. 636 (2002) (discussing the Department of Community Health as an executive branch agency of state government); see also O.C.G.A. 50-4-1, et seq.
Therefore, to ensure that members appointed to the Healthcare Transparency and Accountability Oversight Committee do not violate the separation of powers as delineated by the Constitution and laws of this state, I VETO HOUSE BILL 991.

Veto 3
Senate Bill 306 would enact the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (hereinafter, the "Compact") in Georgia and in doing so, would enter Georgia into the Compact. This legislation would also grant the State Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology the power to conduct fingerprint-based national background checks and add a new requirement for speech-language pathologist or audiologist licensure that applicants must receive satisfactory results from a fingerprint record check conducted by the Georgia Crime Information Center and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1986, the Georgia General Assembly established the Georgia Occupational Regulation Review Council (hereinafter, "GORRC") to weigh the necessity of new and ongoing occupational regulation by the State. Under Georgia law, GORRC must consider the following factors if the State is considering new occupational regulation: (i) whether the unregulated practice of an occupation may harm or endanger the health, safety, and welfare of citizens of this state and whether the potential for harm is recognizable and not remote; (ii) whether the practice of the occupation requires specialized skill or training and whether the public needs and will benefit by assurances of initial and continuing occupational ability; (iii) whether the citizens of this state are or may be effectively protected by other means; (iv) whether the overall cost effectiveness and economic impact would be positive for citizens of this state; and (v) whether there are means other than state regulation to protect the interests of the state. GORRC was created to protect the citizens of Georgia by reviewing state regulation and determining whether government regulation positively impacts our citizens. This legislation did not receive statutorily mandated review and approval through GORRC. See O.C.G.A. 43-1A-1, et seq. The Compact will also only come into effect on the date when the Compact statute is enacted into law in the tenth member state. If Georgia were to enact this legislation now, it would be the sixth member state, and no other states have legislation pending to join the Compact this year. Further,

378A

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES

this legislation received no fiscal analysis to determine the costs associated with the additional licensure requirement or Georgia's entrance into and participation in the Compact.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO SENATE BILL 306.

Veto 4
Senate Bill 504 would create a nonbinding advisory referendum for the purpose of ascertaining whether the electors of Glynn County desire the Glynn County Board of Commissioners to abolish the Glynn County Police Department. Senate Bill 509, which I signed, creates a similar, binding ballot referendum to be held on the same date for the same jurisdiction. If approved, the binding referendum in Senate Bill 509 would automatically abolish the Glynn County Police Department and transfer the functions and assets of the department to the Sheriff of Glynn County. Because the presence of two similar ballot questions could lead to voter confusion, I VETO SENATE BILL 504.

Statement on House Bill 105:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Michael from 2018, Georgians continue to suffer from the storm's widespread devastation, which caused generational damage to the agriculture industry and catastrophic harm for farm families. Although the inflicted damage remains substantial, federal relief has begun to arrive, offering a desperately needed reprieve and new opportunities to rebuild for those in need.
Acting on the pleas of our constituents, the Georgia General Assembly recently passed House Bill 105 to create a tax exemption for income received as payments from a federal disaster relief or assistance grant program administered by this state or the U.S. Department of Agriculture for agricultural losses due to the hurricane. This legislation was a top priority for House leadership and, as a result, became a vehicle for additional, tax-related subject matter, including an excise tax for for-hire ground transport service providers and a narrowed scope of appropriation authority for specific tax proceeds in the State of Georgia.
Following sine die of the legislative session, legitimate questions arose as to whether this legislation ultimately passed both chambers of the General Assembly. The Georgia Constitution requires that a bill receive a majority of votes in each chamber to receive final passage. See GA. CONST. art. 3, 5, V. When House Bill 105 was amended, it appears an incorrect legislative counsel number (i.e., tracking number) was assigned to the draft. Whereas this error is not necessarily a fatal flaw, this bill is far too important to our state to leave room for a legal challenge on its legitimacy.

GEORGIA LAWS 2020 SESSION

379A

Although I will sign House Bill 105 today, I do so with serious concern that if the bill is ever challenged, the measure may not withstand judicial scrutiny, resulting in the unraveling of the tax structures it created. Our farmers, especially, cannot afford further economic hardship.
In the coming weeks, I will issue a proclamation calling for a special session of the General Assembly to pass the Hurricane Michael tax exemption and other relevant portions of House Bill 105 again to ensure our farm families are protected. Such special session may also be timely to address other budgetary and oversight issues.
For the foregoing reasons, I SIGN HOUSE BILL 105.

State Auditor's Report Concurrent Funding of Fiscal Retirement Bills Enacted During the 2020 Legislative Session

The Honorable Brad Raffensperger Secretary of State 214 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334

Dear Mr. Raffensperger:

As required by Section 47-20-50.1 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 2020 legislative session. The report 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.

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. As noted in the schedule on the following page, provisions have been made to concurrently fund all seven of fiscal retirement bills signed into law by Governor.

GEORGIA LAWS 2020 SESSION
Report to The Honorable Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State Concurrent Funding of Enacted Fiscal Retirement Bills August 18, 2020 Page 2 of 3

381A

Although the 2020 Session of the General Assembly ended prior to July 1, 2020, the 40-day period for the Governor to review and sign legislation extended beyond July 1, 2020, which marks the date most enacted fiscal retirement bills go into effect. Six of the seven fiscal retirement bills were signed into law prior to July 1, 2020 and therefore became effective on that date. However, Senate Bill 249 was not signed into law until August 3, 2020. Therefore, it is unclear as to the effective date of this bill. Based on the information received by the Fund's actuary, Senate Bill 249 met the provisions for concurrent funding had it become effective on July 1, 2020.

Respectfully,

GSG/cs
