Georgia legislature moves to supersede transportation tax referendum
February 10, 2012
ATLANTA, Georgia: On Tuesday, February 7, 2012, the Georgia House of Representatives introduced HB 938, co-sponsored by Representative Matthew Ramsey. If enacted, the bill would void the Sales Tax Increase to Fund Transportation Projects Referendum on the July ballot, and instead, place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot asking voters whether or not regional sales taxes for transportation purposes should be authorized. The bill then outlines a plan under which any two or more counties contiguous to each other could draft a transportation sales tax proposal, which would then be put to the voters in each county as a referendum.[1]
