Chairman Martin moves HP 560 back to original form; committee advances bill
Summary
HP 560 was returned to its original text during the committee; Chairman Martin said staff and associations will continue negotiations, and the committee approved advancing the bill by voice vote.
Chairman Martin (speaker 8) told the committee that HP 560 returns the legislation to its original form after last year's committee changes and that staff will continue to work with the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) and the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) to finalize details.
"This bill seeks to make sure that [an item] doesn't get involuntarily stopped when cities and counties can't agree," Chairman Martin said, asking the committee to move the measure forward while negotiations continue.
Committee members asked no substantive procedural questions; a motion to "do pass" was made and seconded, and the measure passed on a voice vote as recorded in the hearing transcript.
