Path to the ballot
Per Article VII, Section II, Paragraph II(a) of the Georgia Constitution, legislation for property tax exemptions requires a two-thirds vote of each chamber of the Georgia State Legislature, the governor's signature, and voter approval.
- March 6, 2025: The House passed the bill in a vote of 171-0 with nine members absent or not voting.[1]
- April 4, 2025: The legislature adjourned its 2025 legislative session. The measure was not passed in the second chamber before the session adjourned, and therefore was not certified for the 2026 ballot.
