AI Summary
- Amends Georgia's special district mass transportation sales and use tax so that when a county and municipality have entered into an intergovernmental agreement, the maximum net proceeds to be raised correspond to the full time period of the tax rather than a fixed dollar cap
- Changes the ballot language for transportation tax referenda from specifying "not more than" a maximum dollar amount to listing an "estimated amount," removing the hard revenue ceiling when an intergovernmental agreement is in place
- When an intergovernmental agreement exists, the tax runs for the full maximum time period specified in the resolution (up to 5 years) rather than terminating early upon reaching a revenue threshold
- Restricts transportation tax referenda, effective July 1, 2022, to specific election dates: the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in odd-numbered years, and in even-numbered years only on the presidential preference primary date, the general primary date, or the November general election date
- Takes effect upon the Governor's approval and applies to taxes imposed under resolutions or ordinances adopted on or after that date
