AI Summary
This bill, the "Tax Expenditures Transparency Act of 2024," aims to improve the transparency and oversight of tax expenditures (such as tax credits, deductions, and exemptions) in Georgia. Key provisions include: requiring the Governor's budget report to provide a summary of all tax expenditures, including their cost and statutory authority; mandating the Department of Audits and Accounts to conduct at least 12 economic analyses each year on select tax expenditures that are set to expire; and requiring the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee to meet annually to review the completed economic analyses. The bill also adjusts the timeline for the legislative review of taxation, moving it to an annual process rather than a one-time review. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the transparency and legislative oversight of Georgia's tax expenditures.
