Bill > HB1442

This bill amends Georgia law to clarify that local governments, such as counties and cities, cannot apply temporary bans, known as moratoria, on issuing permits or making zoning decisions to certain properties under specific conditions. A "zoning decision" is defined as it is in existing law, generally referring to actions related to land use and development. Specifically, a moratorium will not apply if the local government has already given good-faith written approval or confirmation for a development on that property, or if the local government had previously issued permits for the development of that property that are unrelated to the subject of the moratorium. This change aims to prevent local governments from retroactively halting projects that had already received prior approval or permits.
