Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Article 4 of Chapter 8 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to water and sewer projects and costs tax, so as to revise the definition of the term "municipality"; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia law concerning taxes for water and sewer projects by revising the definition of "municipality" for the purposes of this tax. Previously, a municipality qualified if it had an average wastewater flow of at least 85 million gallons per day, or if its wastewater system interconnected with such a large municipality. The bill replaces this with a broader definition that includes any "qualified municipality" as defined in another section of the law (Code Section 48-8-110) and any consolidated government formed by combining a county with one or more municipalities. This change aims to expand the types of entities that can be considered municipalities for the water and sewer projects and costs tax.
