SUMMARY:

            This bill would amend Article 1 of Chapter 2 of Title 45 of the O.C.G.A. to provide the General Assembly the authority to grant exemptions to the prohibition in current law for a municipal or county government to require that their employees (or a specific employee) reside within the boundaries of the municipality or county.

NOTE:

            This bill would enable local governments to petition the General Assembly to allow them to require a county manager, a school superintendent, a bookkeeper, or any other officer or employee to live within the city limits or county boundaries.
