County manager briefs commissioners on three state bills affecting local government
Summary
County Manager Douglas Jamieson summarized three bills: HB 646 (raises coroner pay and deputy coroner per diem), HB 90 (raises CUVA acreage cap from 2,000 to 4,000 acres) and SB 129 (creates or increases certain homestead exemptions for disabled veterans and first responders).
County Manager Douglas Jamieson told the Schley County Board of Commissioners that three pieces of state legislation have passed in their respective chambers and may affect county operations.
He described HB 646, which would increase coroner pay to $17,700 and require payment of $100 per day, up to 90 days, for deputy coroners when they are not working calls; HB 90, which would increase the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) acreage maximum from 2,000 to 4,000 acres; and SB 129, which proposes to expand state homestead exemptions for certain totally and partially disabled veterans and some first responders.
Jamieson presented the update as informational; the minutes do not record any formal board position or vote on the bills.
