Dear Senator Smith:
State Senator
Coverdell Legislative Office Building, Room 301-A
Atlanta, Georgia 30334
SUBJECT: State Auditor’s Certification
Senate Bill (LC 21 0240)
Dear Senator Smith:
This
bill would amend provisions relating to membership for particular groups of
employees covered under the Employees’ Retirement System. Specifically,
this bill would change all references to the ‘Georgia Public Defender
Standards Council’ to the ‘Georgia Public Defender Agency.’
Within this Code Section, the ‘Georgia Public Defender Agency’ would
now be referred to as ‘Agency.’ This legislation would become
effective on July 1, 2009 provided an Act is passed to change the name of the
Georgia Public Defender Standards Council. If such Act is not passed, this
legislation shall stand repealed effective July 1, 2009.
This
is to certify that this bill is a nonfiscal retirement bill as defined in the
Public Retirement Systems Standards Law.
Respectfully,
/s/
Russell W. Hinton
