Members of the committee, uh, at this late hour, I bring you House Bill 1360, and I'm gonna turn it over to Aaron Kapler to explain what's going on. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, thank you very much. My name is Aaron Kapler. I represent Sumter County. I'm the county attorney for Bryan County, and I also represent several other jurisdictions in the defense of class action tax refund cases. Uh, we are working off of Substitute LC59-0396S with a slight amendment that was introduced this morning to add subsection H, that Chairman Cheokas, I believe, … cite: meeting:2026-03-04/house-judiciary@r4c07f852f428#36757-38584 | https://georgiacommons.org/meetings/2026-03-04/house-judiciary?t=3844 > There are essentially two tax refund statutes. There's 48-2-35, which is the state, and again, it already precludes class actions for tax refunds against the state. And there's 48-5-380, which is the tax refund statute for counties and cities. What was the first statute? I'm sorry. Yes, ma'am. The first statute is 48-2-35. The language in the amendment of subsection H essentially mirrors the same language that is in 48-2-35. So we're really seeking to extend that same wisdom to counties and cities. Let me explain to you why I think it was so wise to preclude cla- sa- class actions against the … cite: meeting:2026-03-04/house-judiciary@r4c07f852f428#38586-40373 | https://georgiacommons.org/meetings/2026-03-04/house-judiciary?t=3981 3.

Members objected to add > So we're just, uh, kind of fixing that, removing that, um, uh, geographical restriction. And then the other bill is House Bill 1364. Um, that's toward the top of page seven. They're both actually third from the top on each page. Uh, but 1364 just removes a process that we added, I think, two years ago and a year ago to provide for foreclosure of, um, timeshare interests. Um, and the, the, the two kind of processes we added have not been used, didn't turn out to be quite as, uh, beneficial as we thought we would, so we're just cleaning the code up by taking them out. cite: meeting:2026-02-25/house-rules@r2d436f08ad84#60259-60831 | https://georgiacommons.org/meetings/2026-02-25/house-rules?t=5470 > Uh, and as Representative, uh, or Chair, Vice Chairman Kelley noted, uh, you all get a, a, a free three-day trip for listening to my presentation of that bill.
