Editor's notes
Ga. L. 2024, p. 888, § 4-1(a)/HB 1267, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that the 2024 amendments to this Code section shall only become effective on July 1, 2026, upon the ratification of a resolution at the November, 2024, state-wide general election that amends the Constitution so as to authorize the General Assembly to provide by general law for the establishment of the Georgia Tax Court with state-wide jurisdiction. If such a resolution is not so ratified, then the amendments to this Code section shall not become effective and shall stand repealed on January 1, 2025. The constitutional amendment proposed in Ga. L. 2024, p. 1189, authorizing the establishment of the state-wide Georgia Tax Court, was approved by a majority of the qualified voters voting at the general election held on November 5, 2024.
