AI Summary

  • Proposes an amendment to the Georgia Constitution (Article VIII, Section VI) to authorize the General Assembly to pass general laws allowing local boards of education to impose, levy, and collect development impact fees
  • Local boards of education may impose fees by resolution within areas of their school system experiencing new growth and development, but only after approval by a majority of qualified voters in a local referendum
  • Counties or municipalities that receive a local board of education resolution imposing a development impact fee must collect the fee as a condition of development approval
  • Fee proceeds are restricted to paying for a share of the cost of additional educational facilities to serve new growth and development in the same area where the fee is imposed
  • The proposed constitutional amendment would be submitted to Georgia voters for ratification or rejection on a ballot with a "Yes" or "No" vote
