- House Bill 767, which allows for the purchase of creditable service by temporary, full-time state employees, was signed into law by Governor Barnes in July 2000. This law allows state employees to obtain up to two years creditable service in determining retirement benefits for prior service as a temporary full-time employee.
- Senate Bill 61 provides an indemnification program for Georgia DOT employees killed or permanently injured in the line of duty. This would provide a $150,000 benefit in addition to any existing life insurance the employee may have. (Read the entire bill: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/Legis/2001_02/fulltext/sb61.htm)
