GA HB1179

Removes the $500,000 annual tax revenue threshold that previously limited which local governments must follow procedures for changing their designated tourism promotion nonprofit organization

Establishes six criteria the Hotel Motel Tax Performance Review Board must consider when approving or rejecting changes to tourism nonprofits, including whether the existing organization meets goals, tenure comparison, community involvement, and business investment relationships

Changes the Performance Review Board's meeting schedule from annually (September 1-December 1) to quarterly, with 90 days to hold hearings on any complaint received

Reduces the timeline for transmitting board findings to the Commissioner of Community Affairs from 60 to 30 calendar days

Requires noncompliance notifications to be published in the county's legal organ and on the department's website until remedied, with subjects required to publish the notification within 30 days of receipt
