COMPILER'S NOTE General Acts and Resolutions of the 1996 session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume I beginning at page 1. Proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of Georgia will be found in Volume I beginning at page 1663. Local and Special Acts and Resolutions will be found in Volume II beginning at page 3501. Home rule actions by counties and municipalities filed in the Office of the Secretary of State between September 1, 1995, and March 11, 1996, are printed in Volume II beginning at pages 4573 and 4629, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 1673, the last page of Volume I, and page 3501, the first page of Volume II. This allows both volumes to be compiled and printed simultaneously. In order to eliminate the need for hand stitching of thick books and to reduce costs, type size has been reduced slightly, the index and other material is now in a separate volume, and future Volumes I or II, or both, may be divided into two or more books. Page numbers will run consecutively between books in the same volume. 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 Governor's veto message; the certificate of the state auditor concerning concurrent funding of Acts dealing with retirement and pensions enacted in 1996 are printed in Volume III. Indexes cover material in both Volumes I and II. 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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 is preceded by the Act number assigned by the Governor and the House Bill or Senate Bill number which it was given when it was introduced in the General Assembly. Each Resolution is preceded by the Resolution Act number assigned by the Governor and the House Resolution or Senate Resolution number. Each Act or Resolution which was signed by the Governor is followed by the approval date on which it was signed by the Governor.

GEORGIA LAWS 1996 SESSION STATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900 ZELL MILLER GOVERNOR April 25, 1996 Honorable Thomas B. Murphy Speaker of the House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Dear Mr. Speaker: I have vetoed House Bills 146, 148, 1118, 1200, 1222, 1343, 1403, 1507, 1598, 1724, and 1811 which were passed by the General Assembly of Georgia at the 1996 Regular Session.

ZM/mcc Attachments cc: Honorable Thomas B. Murphy, Speaker of the House of Representatives Honorable Robbie Rivers, Clerk, House of Representatives Honorable Frank Eldridge, Secretary of the Senate Honorable Sewell R. Brumby, Legislative Counsel Honorable Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General Honorable Lewis Massey, Secretary of State VETO NUMBER 15 Senate Bill 624 provides, in part, that elected constitutional officers and current and former members of the General Assembly, upon obtaining a license to carry a pistol or revolver, can carry a such a weapon concealed at any public gathering, at school functions, or on school property. O.C.G.A. 16-11-130 currently creates an exemption to permit certain law enforcement officers, prosecuting officials, and judicial personnel to carry concealed weapons without obtaining a license at such public places. The purpose of the current exemption is to allow those persons invested with the duty of law enforcement to perform their jobs and to defend themselves when necessary. I believe an extension of this exemption for elected constitutional officers and current and former members of the General Assembly is unnecessary. The public officials covered by this bill may still obtain a permit to carry a weapon in accordance with current state laws. For these reasons. I hereby veto Senate Bill 624. VETO NUMBER 16 House Bill 1343 provides for a homestead exemption for residents of the City of Roswell who are 65 years of age or older from ad valorem taxes in the amount of $20,000 of the assessed value of the homestead if the resident's gross income does not exceed $40,000 for the immediately preceding taxable year. After passage, the author of the bill discovered a defect in the bill and requested a veto. This homestead exemption was perfected in House Bill 1672, which I have signed. Therefore, at the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 1343 on technical grounds. VETO NUMBER 17 House Bill 1507 provides for staggered elections for members of the board of commissioners of Jefferson County. After passage, the author of the bill discovered a defect in the bill in that the legislation provides for a referendum when none is required and requested a veto. The change in the election of the board of commissioners was perfected in House Bill 1742, which I will sign on a later date. Therefore, at the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 1507 on technical grounds. VETO NUMBER 18 House Bill 1598 provides for a homestead exemption for residents of the City of Barnesville who are 65 years of age or older from ad valorem taxes under certain conditions. After passage, the author of the bill discovered a defect in the bill because it did not contain a referendum as required by law and requested a veto. This homestead exemption was perfected in House Bill 1780 which I have signed. Therefore, at the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 1598 on technical grounds.

Page CCCXLIII

VETO NUMBER 19 House Bill 1811 provides for a new charter for the City of Offerman. After passage, the author of the bill discovered a defect in the bill and requested a veto. The new charter was perfected in House Bill 1905 which I will sign at a future date. Therefore, at the request of the author I hereby veto House Bill 1811 on technical grounds. VETO NUMBER 20 House Bill 1403 in its original version would have permanently revised the authorization for municipalities in Georgia to impose a hotel/motel tax. Current law authorizes the governing authority of any municipality to impose such a tax upon guests staying no longer than ten consecutive days. However, the final version of this legislation would permit a municipality to impose a hotel/motel tax for stays of up to 90 consecutive days only during the period from July 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996. After this 90 day period, under the terms of this bill, the law would return to its present form which would prevent the imposition of the tax for stays over ten straight days. In effect, the bill would permit a municipality to impose a one-time extended tax during the period that includes the time in which the Olympics are being held in Georgia Such a short-term measure is unnecessary and inappropriate. Accordingly, for the above reasons, I hereby veto House Bill 1403. VETO NUMBER 21 House Bill 1724 provides for a change in the composition of the Richmond County Board of Health. After passage the author of the bill discovered a defect in the bill and requested a veto. After that time Senate Bill 783 was enacted with the proper language and was signed by me on April 4 1996. Therefore, at the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 1724 on technical grounds. VETO NUMBER 22 House Bill 1200 provides for an extension of time within which to file taxpayer appeals of assessments of intangible personal property. This bill is now unnecessary because of the repeal of the intangible personal property tax, which was accomplished by my signing of House Bill 6 on March 21, 1996. Therefore, because the intangible tax has now been repealed, I hereby veto House Bill 1200. VETO NUMBER 23 House Bill 146 provides that in the event an individual driver's license or instruction permit is lost or destroyed, that individual may obtain a replacement license or permit for the remaining period for which the original license or permit was issued for a fee of $5.00. Current law requires the obtaining of a new license or permit when the old one is lost or destroyed for a fee of $15.00. The Fiscal Year 1997 costs for House Bill 146 are estimated to be at least $710,000. This cost was not included in House Bill 1265, the Fiscal Year 1997 budget act. In addition, this bill would provide additional incentive for those individuals who obtain multiple driver's licenses for fraudulent purposes. For these reasons, 1 hereby veto House Bill 146.

Page CCCXLIV

VETO NUMBER 24 Senate Bill 584 codifies permitted and prohibited political activity for certain employees in the classified service of the State Merit System. First, the bill would create a potential for abuse and undue influence by state employees over their subordinates. Current State Personnel Board Rules and Regulations require and provide strict standards for permitted political activities. Senate Bill 584 would broaden the scope of such political activity. Second, the bill does not apply to: employees of the Secretary of State whose duties relate to elections; employees of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Department of Public Safety, and State Board of Pardons and Paroles; and administrative law judges. All of the employees exempted from the provisions of the bill would still be subject to State Personnel Board rules relating to political activity. Finally, the bill applies only to certain classified, as opposed to unclassified, employees. Because of the uneven and unequal application of the permitted and prohibited activities under this legislation, as pointed out by the Attorney General's office, the bill may in fact violate the Equal Protection Clause of the state and/or federal constitutions. I vetoed a similar bill, Senate Bill 133, enacted during the 1995 session of the General Assembly, for many of these same reasons. Consequently, I hereby veto Senate Bill 584. VETO NUMBER 25 Senate Bill 521 authorizes parents or guardians of students eligible for special education programs who are deaf to make the final determination concerning the placement of these students in the local school system, the Georgia School for the Deaf, or the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf. The federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that the educational placement of each student with a covered disability be made in accordance with a student's individualized education plan (IEP) which is developed by a placement committee after input from the local school system and the parents or guardians of the student. While parents or guardians do not have the final decision-making authority, they are required to be involved in the decision affecting the student's placement, and have the right to appeal that determination in accordance with federal and state law and regulations. Senate Bill 521 attempts to carve out an exception to this existing procedure only for a specific group of eligible students, and also limits the facilities where these students can be placed. These students, like other students covered by the IDEA, should continue to be treated equally in accordance with federal and state guidelines which are designed to allow input from health care professionals, educators, and parents or guardians. For these reasons, I hereby veto Senate Bill 521. VETO NUMBER 26 Senate Bill 710 provides that the Crossroads Alternative School Program shall utilize facilities on the Gordon and Fannin campuses of the Georgia School for the Deaf for staff development and youth leadership activities. This bill is unnecessary because it puts into law what should be and can be performed by contract. These services can be contracted for between the Georgia School for the Deaf and this or any appropriate provider. I should also mention that funds have been placed in House Bill 1265, the Fiscal Year 1997 appropriations act, for the operation of the Crossroads Program for the Georgia School for the Deaf. These funds can be used for the purpose intended by this bill without the necessity of legislation through contractual arrangement. For these reasons, I hereby veto Senate Bill 710.

VETO NUMBER 27 Senate Resolution 535 creates the Select Oversight Committee on Medicaid composed of 14 members of the General Assembly. The joint resolution would provide for this committee to review all proposed expenditures for Medicaid and any legislation which has a potential impact upon the program. In addition the resolution would invest this committee with the responsibility of reviewing, among other things: Medicaid eligibility and enrollment standards; provisions of services, facilities, and programs by Medicaid providers; planning, budgeting, information systems, organizational structure, and rules and regulations of the Department of Medical Assistance; and compliance by the department with provisions of any Medicaid federal waiver. The Department of Medical Assistance is an agency of the executive branch which is governed by the Board of Medical Assistance. That board is created by statute and empowered to establish the general policy to be followed by the department. This resolution would create the equivalent of a legislative board to review the policies as set forth by the statutory executive branch board. In addition, the proposed committee and the powers invested in it may violate the separation of powers provision contained in the Georgia Constitution. It should be noted that the General Assembly always has the authority through the enactment of the appropriations act to monitor an agency's programs and personnel by review of that agency's expenditures. For these reasons, I hereby veto Senate Resolution 535. VETO NUMBER 28 Senate Bill 674 creates the Georgia Land Trust, which requires that proceeds from the sale or disposition of unserviceable public property and all proceeds from the sale or lease of public real property be paid into the Trust and not the state treasury. The Attorney General's office has advised that the capture of proceeds for the Georgia Land Trust may violate the anti-earmarking prohibition of the Georgia Constitution. No constitutional amendment was approved by the General Assembly to exempt the proceeds of property sales from the constitutional proscription against earmarking of funds. Accordingly, for these reasons, I hereby veto Senate Bill 674. VETO NUMBER 29 House Bill 1222 provides a comprehensive revision of the law relating to the establishment of residential community development districts. Section 5 of the bill provides that it shall become effective only upon adoption by the General Assembly of Senate Resolution 497, which proposed an amendment to the Georgia Constitution. Senate Resolution 497 was not enacted during the 1996 session. Consequently, House Bill 1222 cannot become effective. The sponsor of this bill has agreed that without the passage of Senate Resolution 497 the bill is ineffective and should be vetoed. Therefore, because of the failure of the General Assembly to enact Senate Resolution 497 and at the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 1222. VETO NUMBER 30 House Bill 148 provides, in part, that no permit shall be issued for a solid waste disposal facility or a solid waste handling facility located within the boundaries of any municipality having a population of 1,500 or less which is not included in the same regional solid waste plan or multijurisdictional solid waste plan developed in accordance with Code Section 12-8-31.1 without the express approval of the governing authority of the county encompassing any part of the boundary of the municipality in which the facility is to be located. In addition, the relevant county is authorized to consider without limitation certain specified factors in deciding whether to approve such a facility in a municipality having a population of 1,500 or less. These provisions apply to all permit applications pending on the date the bill is signed

Page CCCXLVI

or any permits issued prior to that date which are the subject of an appeal or judicial review. In applying this provision retroactively to all pending applications for a solid waste disposal facility and permits awaiting judicial review, this law raises serious constitutional questions. In Recycle and Recover, Inc. v. Georgia Board of Natural Resources, 266 Ga. 253 (1996), the Georgia Supreme Court held just three months ago that the filing of an application for a permit for the operation and construction of a solid waste handling facility where the applicant has made substantial expenditures in reliance on an existing statute created a vested right that would bar a retroactive modification of that statute resulting in the denial of the same application. The Attorney General's office has indicated that this recent appellate court decision calls the constitutionality of HB 148 into serious question. I have been informed that the purpose of these new provisions impacting upon pending solid waste disposal and handling facility applications only in those municipalities of 1,500 people or less is to prevent the permitting of a proposed landfill in one particular city. It is also my understanding that an application has been made for the operation of a landfill in that city based upon the current law but such application has not yet been acted upon by the Department of Natural Resources. The time has now come for the state to stay out of local zoning decisions. The issue of the need or desirability of a landfill in a particular area of this state, like any other zoning matter, is best left to local communities in accordance with the dictates of current law. It is not only unfair but now unconstitutional to change a law respecting the permitting of solid waste facilities so as to adversely affect an applicant who has substantially relied upon an existing procedure. Once the procedure is in place and an application has been made, it is the decision of the Department of Natural Resources as to whether a particular permit should be granted or denied based upon statutory and regulatory directives. Instead of allowing the process to proceed in an orderly and legal fashion, House Bill 148 changes the rules of play in the middle of the game. I do recognize that there are other provisions of this bill which offer good and needed amendments to Georgia's Solid Waste Management Act. Unfortunately, those provisions fall victim to the retroactive provision concerning pending solid waste disposal and handling facility applications likely to be held unconstitutional. For these reasons, I hereby veto House Bill 148. VETO NUMBER 31 Senate Bill 779 is local legislation to amend the charter of the City of Arcade to effectively exclude or deannex certain identified property from its corporate limits. I understand that the property to be deannexed includes property upon which the construction of a solid waste disposal facility has been proposed and an application for the building of such a facility has previously been filed with the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources. I am this day vetoing House Bill 148 because that bill contains a provision to retroactively and negatively affect an application for a solid waste disposal permit in this same location, and the Georgia Supreme Court has held that a similar type of retroactive legislative action when an applicant has made substantial expenditures upon reliance on a preexisting statute is unconstitutional. Therefore, I incorporate the language from my veto message of House Bill 148 into this veto message. It would be inconsistent for me to veto House Bill 148 and, at the same time, sign Senate Bill 779 when the purpose of these bills is the same. While I regret vetoing local legislation, I have no choice but to do so when its effect is the same as that of another general bill enacted at the same session which has serious constitutional questions. For these reasons, I hereby veto Senate Bill 779.

VETO NUMBER 32 House Bill 1118 reenacts the current prohibition on the issuance of a permit for a municipal solid waste landfill within two miles of a federally restricted military airspace used for a bombing range. However, this bill also specifically provides that the prohibition is to apply even in those cases where the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources already has issued a letter of site suitability to the permit applicant. In applying this provision retroactively to all pending applications for a solid waste landfill permit, this law raises serious constitutional questions. In Recycle and Recover, Inc. v. Georgia Board of Natural Resources, 266 Ga. 253 (1996), the Georgia Supreme Court held just three months ago that the filing of an application for a permit for the operation and construction of a solid waste handling facility where the applicant has made substantial expenditures in reliance on an existing statute created a vested right that would bar a retroactive modification of that statute which would cause the same permit application to be denied. The attorney General's office has indicated that this recent appellate court decision calls the constitutionality of HB 1118 into serious question. As I have indicated in a previous veto message, the issue of the need or desirability of a landfill in a particular area of this state is a matter best left to local communities in accordance with the dictates of current law. It is not only unfair but now unconstitutional to change a law respecting the permitting of solid waste facilities so as to adversely affect an applicant who has substantially relied upon an existing procedure. Once the procedure is in place and an application has been made, it is the decision of the Department of Natural Resources as to whether a particular permit should be granted or denied based upon statutory and regulatory directives. Instead of allowing the process to proceed in an orderly and legal fashion, House Bill 1118 changes the rules of play in the middle of the game. For these reasons, I hereby veto House Bill 1118. STATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ATLANTA 30334-0900 ZELL MILLER GOVERNOR Mark H. Cohen EXECUTIVE COUNSEL MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Pierre Howard Honorable Thomas B. Murphy FROM: Mark H. Cohen DATE: April 25, 1996 RE: Line Item Vetoes in House Bill 1265 Please be advised that Governor Miller has line item vetoed the following Sections in House Bill 1265: Section 5, Page 6, Payments to Georgia Development Authority Section 44, Page 43, third paragraph Section 44, Page 43, fourth paragraph

Section 49, Page 44, subparagraph (g) of first full paragraph Section 49, Page 44, second full paragraph beginning, In order to aid the Department... Section 59, Page 47 Section 60, Page 49, last paragraph MHC:mc cc: Honorable Frank Eldridge, Secretary of the Senate Honorable Robert E. Rivers, Jr., Clerk. House of Representatives Honorable Sewell R. Brumby, Legislative Counsel Honorable Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General Honorable Lewis Massey, Secretary of State GOVERNOR VETOES IN HOUSE BILL 1265 Section 5 pertaining to the Department of Agriculture, page 6, line 220: This line represents payments to the Georgia Development Authority for the Emerging Crop Fund loan program. The General Assembly appropriated $250,000 for this program in both F.Y. 1995 and F.Y. 1996. Despite a present balance exceeding $500,000, no loans have been made to date because of the failure of any applicant to meet the prerequisites of O.C.G.A. 2-8A-6 and the regulations adopted by the Georgia Development Authority, which require a security or lien as a condition for making an interest loan. Since there exists more than an adequate amount of $500,000 still available for these loans, I am vetoing this $250,000 appropriation. Section 44 pertaining to the Department of Medical Assistance, page 43, lines 1923 through 1924: This language excludes pharmacy services from the department's HMO pilot and allows acute care hospitals to contract with the department on a non-risk capitated rate. Pharmacy benefits are an essential part of the primary care for which HMOs assume risk. Appropriate drug therapy is an integral part of medical treatment. In order to manage the cost of care for recipients within the capitation rates, the HMOs must be able to manage pharmacy benefits. Therefore, the exclusion of pharmacy services from the HMO pilot may jeopardize the viability of the Medicaid HMO program by making that program unattractive to prospective HMOs. The exclusion of pharmacy services from the HMO pilot program may compromise the ability of the Department of Medical Assistance to achieve savings in state funds. Moreover, most HMOs in both the public and private sector do not exclude pharmacy services. An analysis of other state managed care programs found that 27 out of the 30 states had pharmacy services included in the managed care contract, and two of the three that do not currently include

Page CCCXLIX

such services will be modifying their managed care plans to place pharmacy services back in the plans in order to provide higher quality patient care. An analysis of private sector health benefit initiatives indicates a significant trend towards complete managed care contracting for all covered services, including pharmacy services. For these reasons, I am vetoing the cited language. Section 44 pertaining to the Department of Medical Assistance, page 43, lines 1925 through 1926: This language requires that the Department implement a clinically based, automated prospective drug utilization review (DUR) program. The Department should retain the authority to identify the most effective and efficient system for controlling inappropriate utilization of pharmacy services. It is not appropriate to limit the Department's ability to achieve its prospective savings in the pharmacy program. The available data is insufficient to support the projected savings that might occur from a prospective automated DUR program. The August, 1994, report of the General Accounting Office (GAO) was unable to quantify potential savings from a pro-DUR program. Further, the GAO Report indicated that any such savings would be offset whenever a pro-DUR cancelled prescription was subsequently filled or replaced with a substitute prescription. In order to permit the Department to maintain the flexibility to identify the most effective and efficient cost savings measures within the pharmacy program, I am vetoing the cited language. Section 49 pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 44, lines 1981 through 1982: This provision allows the Department of Transportation to retain income derived from the sale of intermodal aircraft to finance the expansion of the state aircraft facility at Charlie Brown Airport. This provision was originally inserted several years ago when the Department moved the state aircraft facility from DeKalb-Peachtree Airport to Charlie Brown Airport. Funds are no longer required for expansion purposes and this language is unnecessary. Section 49 pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 44, lines 1983 through 1986: HB 1265 authorizes the Department to transfer position counts between budget functions provided that the Department's total position count shall not exceed the maximum number of annual positions assigned by law. All executive branch agencies are legally authorized to amend their budgets and transfer positions between budget functions when a properly drawn amendment to the annual operating budget has been approved by the Office of Planning and Budget. In addition, the number of positions in

Page CCCL

each budget function is not specified in the Governors budget recommendations to the General Assembly or in the annual Appropriations Act. Therefore, this language is unnecessary. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 59 pertaining to federal funds, page 47. lines 2086 through 2091: This language essentially provides a pool of federal money to be available only to supplant state funds. It prohibits an amendment of federal funds above the amount appropriated in the Appropriations Act for purposes other than to supplant state appropriations for the pertinent programs. This language limits the state's ability to accept additional federal funds as they become available throughout the fiscal year. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 60 pertaining to General Obligation Bonds for renovations to the Old State Capitol Building, page 49, lines 2161 through 2167: I supported this project with a recommendation of $7,826,611 to fully fund it in F.Y. 1996. The General Assembly only appropriated $3,500,000 of the total needed to complete the renovations. Of the funds appropriated in F.Y. 1996, $459,955 was released to the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission for planning and design costs of a $7.8 million project, and $200,000 was released to Georgia Military College for approved relocation costs. The College requested the balance of funds in F.Y. 1997 so that renovations could begin. My priorities for funding this year did not include the Old Capitol Building project. Georgia Military College officials have indicated that they could not scale the project back to a level below $7.8 million without starting over again and completely redesigning the entire project. An additional $1,000,000 will not provide the level of support necessary to go forward with the existing funding level requirement.

VICKERS STATE AUDITOR (404) 656 2174 May 6, 1996 State Auditor's Report Concurrent Funding of Fiscal Retirement Bills Enacted During the 1996 Legislative Session The Honorable Lewis Massey Secretary of State State Capitol, Room 214 Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Dear Mr. Massey: As required by Code Section 47-20-50.1, 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 1996 legislative session. The report is organized in numerical order by house or senate bill number and 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 which 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 such 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 report complies with this requirement. Sincerely, Claude L. Vickers State Auditor CLV/cs
