AN ACT To amend Part 4 of Article 6 of Chapter 3 of Title 12 and Article 1 of Chapter 16 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association and public property of state generally, respectively, so as to require such association to hold all real property obtained before January 1, 1971, in trust; to prohibit such association from selling such real property; to provide for an exception; to provide for requirements for the exceptional sale of real property by such association; to provide for applicability; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Stone Mountain Memorial Association to hold all real property it obtained before January 1, 1971, in trust for the benefit of the citizens of Georgia and prohibits the association from selling this specific real property, with a single exception: the association may sell such property if it is necessary for a public road right of way. The bill also mandates that the association maintain an inventory of its real property and that any property sold must comply with specific requirements, with the funds from any sale being remitted back to the association for purposes consistent with its mission. This change amends existing laws regarding the powers of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association and the general rules for public property held by state authorities.
