Bill > HB271

This bill amends the Georgia state tax code by updating the definition of "agency" in Chapter 1 of Title 48. Specifically, the bill revises the existing definition to mean "any department, commission, institution, office, or officer of this state." While the change appears minor, it provides a clear and comprehensive definition of what constitutes an agency for the purposes of revenue and taxation law. The bill will become effective either upon the Governor's approval or by automatically becoming law if not explicitly vetoed. Additionally, the bill includes a standard provision that repeals any existing laws that may conflict with its provisions, which is a common practice to ensure legal clarity and prevent potential contradictions in state statutes.
