SUBJECT: State Auditor’s Certification
Senate Bill 296 (LC 18 8562)

Dear Senator Seabaugh:

This bill would amend provisions relating to state government, so as to rename the “Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services” as the “Office of the State Treasurer.” This bill would also rename the “director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services” as the “State Treasurer.” With respect to retirement systems, this bill would change all references within Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated relating to the “Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services” and the “director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services” to conform with the proposed agency name and title.

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
State Auditor
