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 2022 Regular Session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume One beginning at page 1. The Supplementary Appropriations Act for FY 2021-2022 and the Appropriations Act for FY 2022-2023 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, 2021, and May 1, 2022, are printed in Volume Two beginning at pages 6119 and 6145, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 838, 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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'S PROCLAMATIONS AND VETOES

GOVERNOR BRIAN P. KEMP 2022 SESSION OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
VETO MESSAGES & SIGNING STATEMENTS
VETO 1
Senate Bill 473 would reapportion the districts for the Sumter County Board of Education.
At the request of the sponsor, I VETO SENATE BILL 473.
VETO 2
House Bill 1538 would annex parcels of land into the City of Smyrna from unincorporated Cobb County. Several of these parcels are currently zoned for a land use designation that is not recognized by the City of Smyrna Zoning Ordinance (the "Smyrna Ordinance"). Per the Smyrna Ordinance, upon annexation, these parcels would be rezoned to the land use designation which is most like their Cobb County land use designation.
Since these parcels' current land use designation is not recognized by the Smyrna Ordinance, these parcels would be rezoned to a less-intense land use designation than how they are currently zoned. This rezoning would cause these property owners to suffer a significant detriment in their property values and would amount to a violation of their due process rights.
For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HOUSE BILL 1538.
VETO 3
Senate Bill 616 would change the compensation of the solicitor-general of the State Court of Chattooga County.
At the request of the sponsor, I VETO SENATE BILL 616.
Statement on House Bill 476
House Bill 476 removes the Georgia Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors ("PELS") Board from the jurisdiction of the Professional Licensing Board Division ("PLB") of the Secretary of State's Office. Though I firmly believe in the efficiency afforded by PLB, and the concept of a centralized, uniform process for occupational licensure and regulation, I recognize there are rare instances where the independence of a licensing board better protects public health, provides better service for industry needs, and promotes efficiency in government.

GEORGIA LAWS 2022 SESSION

401A

In reviewing House Bill 476, the Georgia Occupational Regulation Review Council ("GORRC") found the current operation of the PELS Board presents a potential for harm, specifically noting delays in enforcement for violations presenting a threat to public health and safety. While I strongly support the policy of consolidating administrative functions to find efficiencies in government, I believe in this specific instance the current threat to public health and safety outweighs potential issues raised regarding the Board's independence.
Most engineering firms are small businesses, with far fewer than 50 employees and many operations include only one or two individuals. Insufficient communication and lack of enforcement by PLB is hindering the ability of these small businesses to respond to industry demands at a time when our state needs their timely services.
For the foregoing reasons, I SIGN HOUSE BILL 476.

State funds should not be used to subsidize federal activities and using these funds for federal employees could create future supplantation concerns. Therefore, the agency is directed to disregard the language included in line 2296 and utilize the funds for construction of additional warehouse space for emergency response equipment and supplies on the Macon Farmers Market property.
Section 27, pertaining to the Office of the Governor, page So, line 2361: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $271,308 in state general funds to the Office of the Governor for the Office of the State Inspector General program for costs associated with POST Certification in accordance with HB 960 (2022 Session). HB 960 was not passed by the General Assembly during the 2022 session and these funds will not be necessary. Therefore, the office is directed to disregard the language included in line 2361.
Section 30, pertaining to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, page 95, line 2833: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $375,000 in state general funds to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council program for local first responder grants.

Section 34, pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources, page 104, line 3084: The General Assembly seeks to appropriate $500,000 in state general funds to the Department of Natural Resources for the Environmental Protection program for operations. The department is authorized to utilize the funds for regular operating expenses but may not use these funds for personal services for employees currently funded by federal grants. State funds should not be used to subsidize federal activities and using these funds for federal employees could create future supplantation concerns.

The purpose of the program is to provide general grant-in-aid to county boards of health.

This project was identified as a lower priority by the Technical College System of Georgia and the total cost of the project over the next three years would exceed the annual capital planning amount for the System.

State Auditor's Report Concurrent Funding of Fiscal Retirement Bills Enacted During the 2022 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 2022 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 four of the fiscal retirement bills signed into law by the Governor.

Respectfully,

GSG/cs

s/Greg S. Griffin Greg S. Griffin State Auditor
