Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 48-5-380 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to refunds of taxes and license fees by counties and municipalities, time and manner of filing claims and actions for refund, and authority to approve or disapprove claims, so as to prohibit class action suits; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Georgia law concerning refunds of taxes and license fees collected by counties and municipalities, specifically by adding a new provision that prohibits taxpayers from filing a claim for a refund on behalf of a group of other taxpayers who are similarly situated, meaning individuals can no longer initiate a class action lawsuit to seek refunds for a larger group.
