AI Summary
- Amends O.C.G.A. § 36-44-21 to narrow the prohibition on public employees holding financial interests in redevelopment areas or related contracts by limiting it to only those employees whose primary job responsibilities involve the creation or administration of redevelopment areas or activities
- Elected and appointed officials of political subdivisions, boards, commissions, and redevelopment agencies remain fully subject to the existing prohibition regardless of their job duties
- Employees and officials who involuntarily acquire an interest in a redevelopment area must still immediately disclose it in writing to the local legislative body and the redevelopment agency
- Interests acquired within two years prior to a redevelopment plan's submission must be disclosed at least 30 days before the plan's adoption, and the holder may not participate in any government action affecting that property
- Contracts or transactions violating these provisions remain voidable by the local legislative body, and noncompliance still constitutes misconduct in office
