Summary
The bill amends Georgia’s outdoor stewardship law to expire on June 30 2039 and requires the state to allocate between 40% and 60% of sales‑use tax collected from sporting‑goods stores to the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund, with a maximum of 80% that may be dedicated. It also repeals any statutes that conflict with these changes. The measure would direct more predictable funding for land‑conservation projects but was vetoed by the governor.
