                        A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                               AN ACT


  1- 1  To amend Code Section 50-27-13 of the Official Code of
  1- 2  Georgia Annotated, relating to the disposition of lottery
  1- 3  proceeds, so as to provide for the distribution of
  1- 4  appropriations for certain capital outlay projects; to
  1- 5  repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

  1- 6       BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

                         SECTION 1.

  1- 7  Code Section 50-27-13 of the Official Code of Georgia
  1- 8  Annotated, relating to the disposition of lottery proceeds,
  1- 9  is amended by striking paragraph (2) of subsection (c)
  1-10  thereof and inserting in its place the following:

  1-11      "(2) In the budget report the Governor shall further
  1-12      make specific recommendations as to the education
  1-13      programs and purposes for which appropriations should be
  1-14      made from the Lottery for Education Account.  The
  1-15      General Assembly shall appropriate from the Lottery for
  1-16      Education Account by specific reference to it, or by
  1-17      reference to 'lottery proceeds.'  All appropriations of
  1-18      lottery proceeds to any particular budget unit shall be
  1-19      made together in a separate part entitled, identified,
  1-20      administered, and accounted for separately as a distinct
  1-21      budget unit for lottery proceeds.  Appropriations for
  1-22      capital outlay projects for educational facilities shall
  1-23      be distributed to each local school system in the same
  1-24      proportion which that system's most recent average
  1-25      weighted full-time equivalent count bears to the most
  1-26      recent average weighted full-time equivalent count, as
  1-27      those counts are defined in Code Section 20-2-165, for
  1-28      all such school systems in the state.  Such
  1-29      appropriations shall otherwise be made in the manner
  1-30      required by law for appropriations."

                         SECTION 2.

  1-31  All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are
  1-32  repealed.
