AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 1 of Title 28 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which deals with general provisions for the General Assembly, specifically concerning the salary and allowances of its members and officers. The key change is that approved allowances paid to members of the General Assembly whose residences are located within 50 miles of the state capitol will now be disbursed through the legislative payroll system, which is the standard method for paying salaries and other regular compensation to legislative staff and members. This provision aims to standardize how these specific allowances are handled for a subset of legislators based on their proximity to the capitol building.
