Proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of Georgia will be found in Volume I beginning at page 1273. Local and Special Acts and Resolutions will be found in Volume II 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 April 1, 1998, and April 1, 1999, are printed in Volume II beginning at pages 4929 and 4991, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 1276, the last page of Volume I, and page 3501, the first page of Volume II. This allows both volumes to be printed simultaneously. In order to eliminate the need for hand stiching of thick books and to reduce costs, the index and other material is now in a separate Volume III, and 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 report of the state auditor on concurrent funding of retirement bills; and the Governor's veto message 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Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed.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 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 Bill or Senate Bill number which it was given when it was introduced in the General Assembly. The caption for each Resolution contains the Resolution Act number assigned by the Governor and the House Resolution or Senate Resolution number. 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.

Veto Number 1 This bill changes the compensation for the Clerk and Chief Deputy Clerk of the State Court of Cobb County. After the bill was introduced, a mistake was found in the effective date. At the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 547. Veto Number 2 This bill changes the compensation of the chairperson of the Board of Commissioners of Pierce County. After the bill was introduced, an error was discovered. At the request of the author, I hereby veto House Bill 991. Veto Number 3 This bill is a compilation of nine separate education bills that were put together in the last hours of the legislative session. While there are strong points to the bill, there are also some portions with good potential that require further consideration as to how they would impact education and the schools. Additionally, there are budgetary costs and priority-setting budgetary issues that need further attention before a commitment is implied through passage and signing of this bill. It is my intention to have the principal issues addressed in SB72 included as part of the work of the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission, which has been created by the General Assembly at my request for the express purpose of considering some of these very same issues. To assist in this endeavor, it is also my intention to ask several key education leaders of the House and Senate, who are also authors of portions of SB72, to serve on this Commission. For these reasons, I hereby veto Senate Bill 72. Veto Number 4 This bill provides for grievance procedures for state employees, including the institution of procedure for the grievance of annual salary increases which are the subject of Georgia Gain. Many of our state departments object to this legislation on the basis that the grievance procedures, particularly with respect to pay increases, will negate the positive effects which the state is experiencing from the institution of Georgia Gain. While I feel that it is important to establish grievance procedures, those procedures should not include the opportunity to engage in lengthy contests, at considerable cost in agency and personnel time, to dispute pay raise decisions which are based upon the Georgia Gain principle of rewarding productivity and achievement rather than simple longevity in a position. Accordingly, while I am vetoing this measure, I have issued an executive order requiring state departments to prepare and submit to me internal grievance procedures with respect to employees covered by Georgia Gain. For these reasons, I hereby veto House Bill Number 677.

Page CCCLII

Veto Number 5 This bill would require judges making custody determinations to consider the desires of children ages 12 and 13 as to the custodial parent. Present law permits the judge discretion to do so, but does not require the court to interview the child where the court feels that the best interests of a particular child would be better served by not requiring the child to face such a potentially traumatic choice. I believe that the decision as to which children of these tender years are appropriately exposed to such potentially disturbing dilemmas is best left in the discretion of the judge overseeing the proceedings. For these reasons, I hereby veto House Bill Number 407. Veto Number 6 This bill exempts the so-called Roth IRA from garnishment under Georgia law until such time as the monies therein are paid or otherwise transferred to the beneficiary. This bill attempts to address potential concerns that such accounts are preempted by federal law from garnishment under the law of this state, but the courts of this state have not ruled on that issue. Accordingly, as attempts to restrict assets reachable in garnishment threaten the legitimate and well-recognized public policy of causing debtors to be responsible to their creditors, a policy reflected in our extensive garnishment statutes, its is preferable that this issue await definitive resolution in the courts. For these reasons, I hereby veto House Bill Number 6.

Governor's Vetoes In House Bill 143 Section 7, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, page 6, line 266: The increase of $600,000 in Contracts for Regional Planning and Development was requested by Regional Development Centers (RDCs) for operations in the area of economic development. The RDCs wanted these funds to increase their economic development presence in the regions. The $600,000 is to be allocated equally among RDCs that conform to the new state regional boundaries. Eleven regions are expected to each receive $54,500. An additional $55,000 is included in the Per Diem, Fees and Contracts line item for one RDC with a satellite office that does not conform. The purpose of these funds is not clear and the funds will not be distributed on a performance basis. Funds might be used to hire new staff for economic development, to work on specific economic development projects, or to increase current economic development efforts. By providing these funds to RDCs in this manner, the state would be paying for an unidentified program with no implementation plan or measures of success or performance. The state may also be providing funds to RDCs that duplicate the work of the state funded regional development offices staffed by the Department of Community Affairs and the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. Finally, Senate Resolution 184 was approved by the General Assembly and would establish a joint study committee on RDCs and Metropolitan Area Planning and Development Commissions. Six members of the Senate and six members of the House would study the conditions, needs, issues, and problems related to RDCs and would make recommendations. Accountability and performance are also among the topics to be discussed. It would seem appropriate to wait for the findings of this committee before increasing the funding for the state's RDCs. Section 7, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, page 7, line 275: In the F.Y. 1999 Budget, $1,000,000 was appropriated to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to assist counties and Regional Development Centers in conforming to the 12 new state service delivery regions. RDC and local government activity to conform to the regions has been slow and $247,250 would lapse if it were not shifted to another purpose. In the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget, the Legislature transferred $247,250 that remained from the $1,000,000 into a line item in DCA called Downtown Redevelopment Loan Program. However, DCA has funds for the program in F.Y. 2000 and there is limited need to initiate the program in F.Y. 1999. The full appropriation of $247,250 was scheduled by DCA to be loaned to the City of Waynesboro for a project in its downtown. This exceeds the

Page CCCLVI

DCA maximum loan amount of $200,000, which can be waived at the discretion of the DCA Commissioner. It is inappropriate to begin this loan program with the first appropriation going to one city and exceeding the funding limits just established. This program is authorized and will begin next fiscal year. In the F.Y. 2000 Budget, the Governor recommended and the Legislature approved the expanded use of $2,000,000 located in the Export Assistance Loan Program for a new Downtown Redevelopment Loan Program. The purpose of the fund to provide low interest loans to non-entitlement communities for revitalization projects in downtown commercial districts is a good one for small towns, but it should be competitive. An application period should be established and then the best loan projects selected. Section 39, pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services, page 35, lines 1608 through 1610: This language was approved in the 1996 session of the General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an 800 mega hertz system. We now believe that a limited number of communication equipment purchases need to be made for security and safety reasons that may not be compatible with an 800 mega hertz system. The Office of Planning and Budget has issued policy guidelines relative to communications equipment purchases that will address budgetary approval and technical review requirements. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 44, pertaining to the Department of Medical Assistance, page 38, lines 1701 through 1702: This language states that Medicaid formulary restrictions, including prior authorization, shall be based on the individual patient's clinical and medical criteria and on cost-effectiveness. The inclusion of the proposed language would compromise the department's ability to effectively and efficiently manage the use of pharmaceuticals by Medicaid recipients. The department already utilizes a prior authorization system that is based on the individual patient's clinical and medical criteria. In addition, the language establishes an unnecessary intrusion into the day to day operation of an executive branch agency by the legislature. Specific benefits and service limitations are determined by agency Board review and amendments to the state plan. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 44, pertaining to the Department of Medical Assistance, page 38, lines 1705 through 1706: This language states that it is the intent of the General Assembly that the Department of Medical Assistance develop an acuity based payment system for nursing homes. This language is unnecessary since the department

Page CCCLVII

currently has existing authority to develop an acuity based payment system. In addition, the department has been analyzing the feasibility of developing such a system, contingent upon available resources. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 49, pertaining to the Department of Technical and Adult Education, page 39, lines 1746 through 1747: This language provides authorization for the conversion of Atlanta and Savannah Area Technical Institutes to State operated institutions. The language is no longer needed since the official conversion of Atlanta Tech and Savannah Tech to state management has already occurred. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 50, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 39, lines 1772 through 1776: This language 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 each budget function is not specified in the Governor's 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 42, lines 1871 through 1875: 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 the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund for projects for the Department of Technical and Adult Educationsee special veto message attached. DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION: The Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) is one of the most important in state government. It will be an emphasis of this administration to improve and expand the reach of technical schools in providing a trained work force to meet the modern demand of industry for the technology based workers necessary for a growing and prosperous

Page CCCLVIII

Georgia. However, this growth must be planned growth, and its management must adhere to good business practices. DTAE establishes a capital outlay list in which it recommends to the Governor and General Assembly, in priority order, new construction. Additionally, DTAE creates a renovation priority list in which major renovations and retrofitting of existing facilities also are placed in priority order. Each of these lists is attached to this message so as to better understand the action which is taken in regard to the capital outlay and renovation appropriations. During my review of the budget, I became convinced that a more thorough and orderly capital planning process was needed by DTAE. In a desire to improve and strengthen the capital planning process, I included in my budget recommendation $175,000 for this purpose. I believe as little as possible of a capital nature should be done before there is a completed review and revision of this process. In preparing for this new process I included $405,000 in my proposed budget to pre-design top priority capital budgets, but the General Assembly deleted this funding. The Appropriation Committee's own study committee report on Capital Outlay and Construction strongly suggests that agencies perform significant work in pre-planning for projects in order that the General Assembly can be confident that a proposed construction project fits into the state strategic plan and is otherwise well thought out. (p. 7 emphasis supplied) With the foregoing thoughts in mind, the General Assembly in the Amended Appropriations Act funded the following amounts. 1. $6,615,000 for critical repairs on technical institutions. 2. $3,970,000 in renovation projects at Dekalb Tech, Pickens Tech and Columbus Tech. 3. $3,084,000 for planning and design for facilities at Atlanta Tech, Griffin Tech, Macon Tech, Moultrie Tech, Flint River Tech, the Tift Area Satellite, Albany Tech, Athens Tech, Augusta Tech and Savannah Tech. $6,000 was also included for a master plan at Dekalb Tech even though it was estimated that the services would cost $75,000. In the funding which is described in this paragraph, Priority Nos. 1-5; 7-8; 18; 23; and 24 were funded for design. Priority No. 6 was funded for construction as the design had been completed. Priority no. 10, Carroll Tech was funded through construction. No reason was given by the General Assembly to overlook Priority No. 9; 11-17 and 19-22. The Tift Area Satellite is not on any priority list. 4. $3,570,000 was funded for the construction of a new building at Altamaha Tech, which as stated above is Priority No. 6. 5. $23,780,000 was funded for construction of a new campus at Carroll Tech, which is No. 10 on the Priority List.

Page CCCLIX

6. $2,465,000 was funded for renovation at Coosa Valley Tech. 7. $2,200,000 was funded for an economic development building at the Polk County Satellite of Coosa Valley Tech. The Polk County Satellite is not yet open and the Economic Development Building described in this paragraph is not on any priority list. 8. $1,500,000 was funded for adult learning centers in Randolph, Liberty and Telfair Counties. These adult learning centers are not on any priority list. It can be seen that there was a total of $47,184,000 in design, construction and repairs funded in the Amended Budget. If buildings were constructed as a result of the design funds as described above, new construction of over $93,000,000 would be required in the next budget cycle. Apparently, no estimate of the recurring cost to operate these facilities has been considered. Since I will recommend that the Education Reform Study Commission consider a move toward formula funding of technical schools, it is important that the demand for new facilities be critically assessed not only with regard to up front capital expenditures, but also with regard to life time operating expenses. For several years, the General Assembly has prepared for the use of its members and the public what is commonly referred to as a Comparative Summary or tracking document. The tracking document is one illustration of the intent of the General Assembly as to the expenditure of such funds, but the actual appropriations act accompanying that document does not contain any language earmarking such funds for specific purposes or projects. For example, Item No. 13, page 52, of the tracking document, states that certain funds were appropriated to authorize $3,970,000 in 20-year bonds to fund major renovation projects at Dekalb Tech, Pickens Tech and Columbus Tech. On page 43 of HB 143, the Amended Appropriations Act, the actual appropriating language states as follows: From the appropriation designated State General Funds (new), $341,420 is specifically appropriated for the purpose of financing projects and facilities for the Department of Technical and Adult and Education, by means of the acquisition, construction, development, extension, enlargement, or improvement of land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment or facilities, both real and personal, necessary or useful in connection therewith, through the issuance of not more than $3,970,000 in principal amount of General Obligation Debt, the instruments of which shall mature in not in excess of two hundred and forty months. Funds for each of the appropriations listed above are identified by similar language in the Amended Appropriations Act, and none of the language in the actual appropriation in the Amended Appropriations Act directs expenditure of such funds for the specific projects or purposes set forth in the tracking document.

Page CCCLX

In seeking to bring order and predictability to this situation and create a procedure for the capital expenditures for technical schools, the Governor has two tools at his disposal: the line item veto of appropriations and his authority as director of the budget. The line item veto of the Governor as it applies to the appropriations act is found at Article III, Section V, Paragraph XIII(e) of the 1983 Constitution of Georgia which reads as follows: The Governor may approve any appropriation and veto any other appropriation in the same bill, and any appropriation vetoed shall not become law unless such veto is overridden in the manner herein provided. This provision has been in the Constitution of the State of Georgia since 1861. It is firmly established and the use of it by previous Governors is without dispute. The line item veto serves two purposes. First, it prevents log-rolling, i.e., the loading of good appropriations with dubious projects so as to force the Governor to sign the entire appropriations bill or to bring the operations of the State to a halt. The second purpose is to place strict control of public funds in the hands of the executive. See 1973 Opinions of the Attorney General, U 73-94. I therefore conclude that I clearly have the power to exercise a line item veto in regard to appropriations that I deem to be inadvisable. Additionally, the Governor has the duty as Director of the Budget to see that public funds are expended in a prudent and business-like fashion. O.C.G.A. 45-12-72(b) states in relevant part as follows: The Governor, through the Office of Planning and Budget, shall have such supervision of every public department, agency and institution as shall be necessary... [for the] efficient conduct of its fiscal affairs. Additionally, through the control of what is termed in the Budget Act as a budget allotment, the Governor must determine the prudent expenditure of the funds generally appropriated to each state department. Budget allotment is defined as a process of authorizing the withdrawal of the state funds from the treasury based on a determination that the budget allotment request is consistent with an approved work program. O.C.G.A. 45-12-71(5). O.C.G.A 45-12-83 states in relevant part as follows: No funds may be made available for expenditure for any budget unit, other than the units of the legislative branch and the judicial branch until such budget unit has filed a request for allotment of appropriations with the Office of Planning and Budget and the request for allotment has been approved by the Governor... (emphasis supplied)

Page CCCLXI

Finally, O.C.G.A. 45-12-85(b) states in relevant part as follows: The Governor, through the Office of Planning and Budget shall seek to effect economy, efficiency, decentralization of state government, and sound fiscal management in reviewing budget allotment requests and may make such changes to budget allotment requests to meet these goals and objectives and which are consistent with and subject to the method and provisions contained in the General Appropriations Act... (emphasis supplied) Therefore, where funds are not specifically appropriated for a particular and identified purpose in the Appropriations Act, the Governor through the control of the budget allotment process has the duty to direct the expenditure of such funds for the general purposes stated in the Appropriations Act. This brings us to the question as to what effect, if any, the intent language of the General Assembly as contained in the tracking document has on the Governor's authority and duty to control the fiscal affairs of the State. The tracking document illustrates the intent of the General Assembly in appropriating the funds, but it is not a binding expression of legislative intent. The Governor should undertake the due consideration of the intent of the General Assembly, but because the language in the tracking document is not contained in a specific appropriation line item of the Appropriations Act, he is not bound thereby and indeed, O.C.G.A. 45-12-85(b) requires that the Governor exercise such consideration not with reference to the tracking document, but specifically with reference to the General Appropriation Act. The General Assembly always has the power to appropriate for a specific purpose in a line item appropriation. Under such circumstances, the Governor can exercise his authority to line item veto or approve such appropriation. See 1973 Opinions of the Attorney General, 73-132. What the General Assembly cannot do is to control the purpose of an appropriation without placing a line item stating that purpose in the appropriation act. As stated by the Attorney General in 1974 Opinions of the Attorney General, U 74-36, p. 386-387, the overriding theory underlying the constitutional grant of the appropriations veto power is inconsistent with the theory that by the tactical device of a particular form, an amendment to an existing appropriation, whether increasing or decreasing it, is shielded by the constitutionally expected determination by the Governor of whether the amendment is sound. In fact, this exact issue has been opined upon in an official opinion of the Attorney General found at 1993 Opinions of the Attorney General, 93-19. In that opinion the Attorney General stated as follows: The Comparative Summary is prepared by employees of the legislative branch as a means of tracking appropriations during the session of the General Assembly. The summary does not have the force

Page CCCLXII

of law and is not a binding expression of legislative intent... To restrict grant program eligibility to recipients listed in a housekeeping document of the legislative branch, without any further and independent determination of basis by DCA, would violate the separation of powers doctrine of the Georgia Constitution... In exercising this duty, I will always be mindful of such expressions of the will of the General Assembly and seek to carry out their intent where it does not conflict with established state policy or good business practices. Based upon the foregoing discussion and seeking to enforce an orderly expenditure of capital expenditure funds within DTAE which expenditures follow an approved priority list as established by the department, I take the following actions: 1. In regard to the appropriation of $6,615,000 for critical repairs on technical institutions, I APPROVE such appropriation. 2. In regard to the appropriation of $3,970,000 for renovation projects at Dekalb Tech, Pickens Tech and Columbus Tech, I APPROVE such appropriation, but direct that the Office of Planning and Budget coordinate the preparation of a resolution by the Department of Technical and Adult Education that allocates these funds in accordance with the attached renovation priority list, regardless of the language in the tracking document or the Budget Report. Upon certification to me by the Office of Planning and Budget that this has been properly completed, I will recommend to the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission that the bonds be issued. Otherwise I will not so recommend. 3. In regard to the $3,084,000 appropriation for planning and design for facilities at Atlanta Tech, Griffin Tech, Macon Tech, Moultrie Tech, Flint River Tech, Tift Area Satellite, Albany Tech, Athens Tech, Augusta Tech, and Savannah Tech and the $6,000 for the master plan at Dekalb Tech, I APPROVE such appropriation. I direct the Office of Planning and Budget, however, to coordinate the preparation of a resolution by the Department of Technical and Adult Education allocating these funds in accordance with the attached priority list regardless of the language in the tracking document. Since the Tift Area Satellite is not on any priority list, I direct that no allocation be made for such capital expenditure. Upon certification to me by the Office of Planning and Budget that this has been properly completed, I will recommend to the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission that these bonds be issued, otherwise I will not so recommend.

Page CCCLXIII

4. In regard to the appropriation for the $3,570,000 for construction at Altamaha Tech, since this is contained in the current priority list and has been designed, I APPROVE such appropriation. 5. In regard to the $23,780,000 appropriation for construction of a new campus for Carroll Tech, since this facility is No. 10 on the priority list and since by the actions I take herein the other priorities will be funded in order either in construction or planning and design, I APPROVE such appropriation. 6. In regard to the $2,465,000 for renovation at Coosa Valley Tech, I APPROVE such appropriation as the same is No. 3 on the approved renovation priority list. I note, however, that the cost of this renovation is $63.00 per square foot. I direct that the Office of Planning and Budget determine whether it is more economically feasible for the construction of a new building rather than the renovation of an existing building. Upon completion of this review and consideration of its findings, I will determine whether or not it is appropriate for me, as chairman of the Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission, to recommend that these bonds be issued. 7. In regard to the $2,200,000 appropriation for an economic development building at the Polk County Satellite found on page 49, lines 2157-2163, since this project is not on any priority list, I VETO such appropriation. 8. In regard to the $1,500,000 appropriation for the adult learning centers in Randolph, Liberty and Telfair Counties found on page 47, line 2112-2118, since these projects are not on any priority list, I VETO such appropriation. In the future, I intend to follow the above described procedure as to the funding of capital expenditures within DTAE on a priority list basis and to require pre-design, planning and design. I am willing to discuss with the General Assembly a method in setting priorities for capital outlay, but until such process is complete, I will follow the priority list as set by DTAE. No department head should commit funds that are appropriated but whose purpose is listed solely in the tracking document until they have discussed the matter with the Office of Planning and Budget and a determination has been made that the intent in the tracking document is consistent with established policy and good business practices as required by law. This 12th day of April, 1999. Roy E. Barnes Governor

Murphy FROM: Penny Brown Reynolds Executive Counsel DATE: May 3, 1999 RE: Line Item Vetoes in House Bill 144 Please be advised that Governor Barnes has line item vetoed the following Sections in House Bill 144: Section 39, Page 35, Pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services Section 40, Page 59, Pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs Section 49, Page 62, Pertaining to the Department of Transportation Section 58, Page 65, Pertaining to Federal Funds Page 7, Line 274, Pertaining to the Local Development Fund Page 7, Line 282, Pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs The veto messages are attached for each item referenced above.

GOVERNOR'S VETOES IN HOUSE BILL 144 Section 39, Pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services, page 35, lines 1614 through 1616: This language was approved in the 1996 session of the General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an 800 mega hertz system. We now believe that a limited number of communication equipment purchases need to be made for security and safety reasons that may not be compatible with an 800 mega hertz system. The Office of Planning and Budget has issued policy guidelines relative to communications equipment purchases that will address budgetary approval and technical review requirements. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 40, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, page 59, lines 2684 through 2692: This language is designed to allow a change in Local Assistance Grants recipients and purposes if a grant identifies the wrong recipient or an ineligible purpose. The need for this language is necessitated by the fact that the General Assembly, most likely due to time constraints, is limited in screening these grants for accuracy and legality before listing them in the budget. The effect of vetoing this language will be that the intent and purpose for which these funds are appropriated will have to be corrected in the Amended Budget. I think this is a more appropriate way to handle this issue. Section 49, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 62, lines 2800 through 2804: This language 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 each budget function is not specified in the Governor's budget recommendation to the General Assembly or in the annual Appropriations Act. Therefore, this language is unnecessary. This language has been vetoed previously. Section 58, pertaining to Federal Funds, page 65, lines 2899 through 2903: 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

Page CCCLXIX

they become available throughout the fiscal year. This language has been vetoed previously. There are two items contained in the budget of the Department of Community Affairs that require some adjustment although not an outright veto. Because the programs are beneficial to the state and because I do not wish to completely veto the item, I have decided to veto a portion of the appropriation and retain the balance. On page 7, line 274 of HB 144, there is an appropriation in the amount of $650,000 for Local Development Fund. In the department's redirection request and in my recommendations to the General Assembly, the amount of funding for the Local Development Fund was reduced by $32,500 from $650,000 to $617,500. That reduction was sustained through the House, Senate and Conference Committee versions of the appropriations bill. However, the as passed version of HB 144 shows the line item for the Local Development Fund at $650,000 reversing the reduction that was agreed to throughout the process. Thus, a change was made in the appropriations bill with no reference shown in the tracking document and no discussion by the conference committee. There was no opportunity for debate or discussion on reversing a reduction that I proposed and the House and Senate agreed to in their versions of the bill. Likewise, on page 7, line 282, of HB 144, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs there is an amount appropriated for Regional Economic Development Grants in the amount of $1,187,500. In the department's redirection request and in my recommendations to the General Assembly, the amount of funding for the Regional Economic Development Grants was reduced by $59,375 from $1,187,500 to $1,128,125. That reduction was sustained through the House, Senate and Conference Committee versions of the appropriations bill. However, the as passed version of HB 144 shows the line item for the Regional Economic Development Grants at $1,187,500 reversing the reduction that was agreed to throughout the process. Thus, a change was made in the appropriations bill with no reference shown in the tracking document and no discussion by the conference committee. There was no opportunity for debate or discussion on reversing a reduction I proposed and the House and Senate agreed to in their versions of the bill. The question arises as to whether the Governor can veto a partial amount in an appropriation while allowing the balance of the funds to be spent. Since both of the programs described above are desirable ones for the State of Georgia, I have decided that under the constitutional provisions and discussion to be contained herein that I have the power to partially veto an amount in an appropriation. Ga. Const., Art. III, 5, 13(e), states as follows: The Governor may approve any appropriation and veto any other appropriation in the same bill, and any appropriation vetoed shall not

Page CCCLXX

become law unless such a veto is overridden in the manner herein provided. This constitutional provision by its very nature allows a Governor to exercise a veto to a portion of an amount appropriated. This necessarily follows as the right to exercise the whole power must by its very nature include the parts that make up the whole. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in considering a very similar provision in the Pennsylvania Constitution found that the Governor did have the power to veto a portion of an amount appropriated. 1 1 The provision in the Pennsylvania Constitution granted to the Governor the power to disapprove of any item or items of any bill making appropriations of money, embracing distinct items, and the part or parts of the bill approved shall be the law and the item or items of the appropriation disapproved shall be void, unless repassed according to the rules and limitations prescribed for the passage of other bills over the executive veto. In the case of Commonwealth ex rel. Attorney Gen. v. Barnett, 48 A. 976 (Pa. 1901), the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania examined the exact issue regarding partial vetoes. In finding that the Governor possessed the power of partial veto, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania stated as follows: [E]very appropriation, though it be for a single purpose necessarily presents two considerations almost equally material, namely, the subject and the amount. The subject may be approved on its merits, and yet the amount disapproved, as out of the proportion to the requirements of the case, or as beyond the prudent use of the [S]tate's income. The legislature had full control of the appropriation in both its aspects and the plain intent of [section 16] was to give the governor the same control, as to disapproval, over each subject and each amount. A contrary construction would destroy the usefulness of the constitutional provision: If the legislature, by putting purpose, subject, and amount inseparable together, and calling them an item can coerce the governor to approve the whole or none, then the old evil is revived which [section 16] was intended to destroy... [The governor] was entitled to approve as to the object, and to disapprove as to a portion of the amount. That is what he has done in the present case, and his action was within his constitutional powers. 48 A. at 978 (emphasis added). This issue has never been directly decided by the courts in Georgia, but the Attorney General has opined that a governor may exercise his right to veto in an amended appropriations bill so as to reduce the amount to the General appropriation level, and that such action is clearly within his power as Governor. See Opinions of Attorney General, U73-94 and U74-36. Based upon the above and wishing to preserve the appropriation for the Local Development Fund and for Regional Economic Development

Page CCCLXXI

Grants, in regard to page 7, line 274 pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, I hereby APPROVE the appropriation in the amount of $617,500 and VETO any amounts above the said $617,500. Specifically, I VETO the amount of $32,500 from the total amount appropriated. In regard to page 7, line 282, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs in regard to Regional Economic Development Grants, I APPROVE the appropriation in the amount of $1,128,125 and VETO any amount above said sum, specifically, I VETO the amount of $59,375 from the total amount appropriated.
