AI Summary

  • Amends Georgia Code Section 36-71-4 to allow municipalities and counties to waive the requirement that an exempt affordable housing project's proportionate share of system improvements be funded through an alternative revenue source
  • Affordable housing projects may receive a full waiver of the alternative-funding requirement provided the exemption policy is included in the local government's comprehensive plan
  • Prohibits municipalities and counties from increasing development impact fees on other projects solely to offset the lost revenue from an exempted affordable housing project
  • Existing law already permitted development impact fee exemptions for projects creating extraordinary economic development, employment growth, or affordable housing; this bill eases the conditions specifically for affordable housing projects
