Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend an Act to provide for the restructuring of the City of Macon, the City of Payne City, and Bibb County, approved April 20, 2012 (Ga.

AI Summary
This bill modifies the term limit rules for the mayor and city commissioners in Macon, Payne City, and Bibb County, Georgia. Specifically, it increases the mayor's term limit from three four-year terms to four four-year terms, effectively allowing the mayor to serve one additional term. Additionally, the bill removes any term limits for city commissioners, meaning commissioners can now serve an unlimited number of terms. The bill preserves the existing provision that an initial term of less than four years is still considered a full term for calculating term limits, and that prior service as an officer in the City of Macon or Bibb County will not be counted toward the mayor's term limit calculation. This change provides more flexibility for elected officials in these local government positions by expanding their potential time in office.
