By Cathy S. Dolman SUft Wrilw In one of the less controversial pension reform moves this year, Georgia legislators have approved a bill that will cut down on abuse of the state Teachers Retirement System. The legislation, initiated by the House and passed unanimously by the Senate Monday, will prevent employees of such private organizations as the Georgia Association of Educators and the Georgia School Boards Association from retiring under the system as of June 30, 1984. It also outlaws a pension-boosting practice that enabled Sen. Horace Tate (D-Atlanta) to increase his annual benefits by nearly $12,000 to $48,000 per year.

Specifically, Tate, the former execu "involuntary separation" pensions. Current law grants such pensions unless a person is found guilty of stealing public funds. The new bills outline other circumstances insubordination, irresponsible performance of duties, frequent absences, etc. under which a person could lose his job and still not qualify for an immediate pension. Where the two houses have differed is over so-called projected service.

The Senate version would prevent the retirement system from awarding benefits based on years an employee might have worked for the state had he not lost his job. By Prentice Palmer Staff Wrilw Georgia House, looking to by-', pass a Senate roadblock, took, a pecessary first step Monday toward passing its own version of a controversial pension reform bill. r.The lower chamber, without a dis- senting vote, agreed to return Senate Bill 354 to the House Retirement Committee where it will likely be rewritten and passed by the full House. State Rep. Rudolph Johnson, chairman of the House Retirement Committee, asked that the bill be sent back to committee so it could be uncoupled from a proposed constitutional amendment that also deals with retirement issues.

The House move is an effort to get around a hang-up over the constitutional amendment. Both houses have passed different versions of the proposed amendment and efforts at reaching a compromise have failed. The bill that was sent back to committee redefines circumstances under which longtime state employees who involuntarily lose their jobs can receive a full and lifetime state pension. Both versions of the bill, the one that passed the Senate and a different version that Johnson's committee came up with, would make it more difficult for employees to qualify for by an employee, "sudden salary were being used to give people windfall benefits," said Sen. Loyce Turner Valdosta), chairman of the Senate Retire-" ment Committee.

"It's something that needed to be' done," Turner said of the bill. Tate has defended the pension, saying that he was given what was owed him-, under Georgia law. But state Attorney General Michael Bowers said last week that Tate is receiving about $1,000 a month too much under the Teachers Re--' tirement System.

The Senate's Public Safety Committee Monday put the brakes on a House bill that would have rescinded Georgia's mandatory helmet law for motocyclists over the age of 21. The committee voted 5-1 without discussion to refer the bill to a study panel where it will languish for the remainder of the session. The bill became an issue after the House voted 116-39 last week to give motorcycle riders over 21 the choice of not wearing protective headgear. Proponents argued that some 30 states already have repealed similar helmet laws with no major However, opponents contended that the House passed the proposal only after considerable lobbying from the state's motorcyclists. Rescinding the law, they said, would result in more injuries and eventually lead to higher medical bills paid by taxpayers.
