Russell W. Hinton
State Auditor
(404) 656-2174

The Honorable Bill Heath
State Senator
State Capitol, Room 109
Atlanta, Georgia 30334
SUBJECT: State Auditor’s Certification
Substitute to House Bill 320
(LC 21 0584S)

Dear Senator Heath:

This substitute bill would amend provisions relating to membership and creditable service under the Employees’ Retirement System. Specifically, this bill would change all references to the ‘Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority’ to the ‘Georgia Environmental Finance Authority.’ This legislation would become effective on July 1, 2010 provided an Act is passed to change the name of the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority. If such Act is not passed, this legislation shall stand repealed effective July 1, 2010.

This is to certify that this substitute bill is a nonfiscal retirement bill as defined in the Public Retirement Systems Standards Law.

Respectfully,

/s/ Russell W. Hinton
State Auditor
