Committee approves rule substitute for HB 521; Paulding County deannexation language included
Summary
A rule substitute to House Bill 521 that retains deannexation language and adds a Paulding County–specific provision requiring consent for annexations passed on a motion in committee and was placed on the supplemental calendar.
A rule substitute for House Bill 521 was presented to a Georgia House committee and approved on a motion and second. The presenter said the substitute retains Chairman Anderson’s original language on deannexation and adds a new Section 2 provision that would require both county and city consent for annexations in Paulding County only.
The presenter asked the committee for "favorable consideration" and said the substitute had the support of Chairman Gullett. A motion and second were recorded; committee members voiced no opposition in the provided transcript and the chair said, "It passes."
Following the approval, the committee placed the bill on the supplemental calendar for consideration according to the meeting record. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or a vote tally for the committee action; the motion and second and chair's announcement that it passed are the recorded steps in the provided excerpt.
The substitute explicitly limits the Paulding County consent requirement to that county, according to the presenter. The transcript does not provide the substitute’s full statutory text, the exact LC number beyond the rule substitute reference, or implementation dates.
Committee members then proceeded to set the supplemental calendar, adding HB 521 and multiple other bills for further consideration.
