AI Summary
- Repeals the constitutional amendment (originally proposed by 1979 House Resolution No. 10-35) that created the Fulton County Industrial District and prohibited the Fulton County governing authority from levying any tax for educational purposes within that district
- Requires the Fulton County election superintendent to hold a referendum on the date of the 2014 General Primary, with notice published once a week for two weeks prior in the official county organ
- Conditions the repeal's effectiveness on two requirements: approval by more than one-half of Fulton County voters casting ballots on the question, and passage and voter approval of an Act creating the City of South Fulton
- Automatically repeals the entire Act if the referendum fails, the City of South Fulton is not created and approved by voters, or the election is not properly conducted
- Election expenses are to be borne by Fulton County, with results certified by the election superintendent to the Secretary of State
