AI Summary

  • Proposes a constitutional amendment to Article IX allowing the General Assembly to authorize "workforce and residential infrastructure districts" through general law

  • Districts can only be created with approval from the governing authority of each county (for unincorporated areas) and each municipality where any portion would be located

  • District governing bodies may levy taxes, fees, and assessments, and may incur debt backed by the district's full faith and credit, but debt cannot obligate the State of Georgia or other government units

  • Districts are explicitly prohibited from exercising eminent domain power, and existing county/municipal authority over services and facilities within district boundaries is preserved

  • Amendment would be submitted to Georgia voters for ratification, with the General Assembly retaining authority to regulate or restrict district creation, including by population limits
