ATLANTA (August 6, 2020) | Yesterday, Sen. Chuck Payne (R – Dalton) joined Governor Brian P. Kemp for the signing of two bills: Senate Bill 43 and Senate Bill 104. Both sponsored by Sen. Payne, SB 43 and SB 104 respectively address the regulation of certain government activities, as well as several sunset provisions for sales and use taxes.
“It was an honor to stand beside Gov. Kemp, as he signed into law two bills that will have a tremendous impact on our state,” said Sen. Payne. “SB 43 and SB 104 not only represent years of hard work, listening to the concerns of constituents, but they also reflect a future of growth. By taking the initiative to support our local businesses and key industries, we are able to ensure that Georgia remains a great place to live, work and raise a family for years to come. I want to thank my colleagues in both the House and the Senate for reaching an agreement, Rep. Kasey Carpenter (R – Dalton) for carrying these bills in the House and for Gov. Kemp’s support throughout. I look forward to all of the progress that will come.”
Under the provisions of SB 43, government bodies with electric utility assets of $300 million or lower will be exempt from majority voting requirements associated with revenue bonds under certain conditions. Under SB 104, sunset provisions for multiple sales and use tax exemptions will be removed.
