Bill > HB224

This bill amends Georgia state law to allow the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) to construct or maintain private roads on military bases or installations under specific conditions. Currently, the law prohibits government officials from authorizing construction or maintenance of private roads, but this bill creates an exception when the United States Department of Defense (DOD) or another federal entity provides full funding for the project. Specifically, the DOT can now work on roads within military bases or installations if the DOD or another federal entity pays for the entire cost of construction or maintenance. This change provides flexibility for road infrastructure improvements on military properties, ensuring that such work can be done legally when funded by federal defense-related entities. The bill maintains the original restriction on using state or local government funds for private road construction, but creates a clear pathway for road work on military installations when fully funded by federal sources.
