AI Summary
- Repeals subsection (b.1) of O.C.G.A. § 36-82-1, which required counties with populations of 800,000 or more (per the 2000 U.S. Census or any future census) to hold county-wide bond elections and school bond elections only on the date of the November general election
- Removes the exception that allowed a superior court to authorize an alternative election date upon a finding that holding the bond election during the November general election would cause irreparable harm to voters
- Eliminates population-bracket-based restrictions on bond election scheduling, allowing large counties the same flexibility as other counties in selecting bond election dates
- Becomes effective immediately upon approval by the Governor or upon becoming law without such approval
- Sponsored by Representatives Clark of the 101st and Sims of the 169th; passed both the House and Senate
