Bill > HB849

This bill renames the Lower Chattahoochee Regional Airport Authority to the Randolph County Airport Authority, effectively rebranding the existing airport authority while maintaining its legal status and operational capabilities. The bill ensures that the newly named Randolph County Airport Authority will be a political subdivision of Georgia with the ability to contract, sue, be sued, and have perpetual existence. The authority will be the full legal successor to the previous Lower Chattahoochee Regional Airport Authority, automatically acquiring all of its assets, interests, obligations, debts, and liabilities. The bill also updates various sections of the original Act to reflect the new name, including definitions and provisions related to bond validation. Importantly, the authority retains its ability to issue and validate bonds according to Georgia's Revenue Bond Law, with provisions allowing for legal proceedings to confirm the financial arrangements and contracts associated with these bonds. The bill represents a bureaucratic restructuring that appears to align the airport authority's name more closely with the county in which it operates.
