Local government; prohibit elected officials of a county, municipal corporation, or any county-municipal consolidated government from entering into nondisclosure agreements with private entities relating to economic development

Summary

The bill stops county and city elected officials in Georgia from signing confidentiality agreements with private parties on projects like land use, tax incentives, or infrastructure. Before any such project is approved, the governing body must obtain an independent impact study covering water, traffic, power, sewage and fiscal effects. The private developer must pay for the study, and the results must be public before a vote.
