lessees; (d) partnerships and partners; (e)
franchisors and franchisees; (f) sellers and
purchasers of a business or commercial
enterprise; or (g) two or more employers. This
would include legislative authority to grant to
courts by general law the power to “blue pencil”
or limit the duration, geographic area, and
scope of prohibited activities provided in a
contract or agreement restricting or regulating
competitive activities in order to render such
contract or agreement reasonable under the
circumstances for which it was made.
The General Assembly has enacted a law to
exercise the authority granted by the proposed
constitutional amendment. This law will
become effective only if the constitutional
amendment is ratified by the voters. This law
is published at Georgia Laws 2009, p. 231,
and was enacted by 2009 House Bill 173, Act
No. 64. Examples of contracts which would
be authorized by the law include, but are not
limited to: (1) an agreement by an employee
to refrain from competing with the employer
after termination of employment; and (2) an
agreement by a seller not to compete with the
seller’s customer or solicit business from
customers of the seller’s customer.
A copy of this entire proposed constitutional
amendment is on file in the office of the judge
of the probate court and is available for public
inspection.

Adds $10 tag fee on private passenger
vehicles to fund statewide trauma care
expansion.
Senate Resolution No. 277
Ga. L. 2010, p. 1260
“( ) YES Shall the Constitution
( ) NO of Georgia be amended so as
to impose an annual $10.00 trauma charge
on certain passenger motor vehicles in this
state for the purpose of funding trauma care?
This proposal provides for a $10.00 trauma
charge to be imposed annually on each motor
vehicle designed to carry ten or fewer persons
that is used for the transportation of persons,
including pickup trucks, motorcycles, sport
utility vehicles, and passenger vans. The
trauma charge would be collected together
with license tag and registration fees. The
proceeds of the trauma charge would be
placed in a trauma trust fund and used for
trauma care purposes specified by law.
Proceeds would not have to be placed in the
general fund of the state treasury but would
instead be placed in the trust fund; and any
amounts in the trust fund not expended at the
end of a fiscal year would not lapse to the
general fund but would rather remain in the
trust fund.

amendment is on file in the office of the judge
of the probate court and is available for public

Allows the State to execute multiyear contracts
for long term transportation projects.
Senate Resolution No. 821
Ga. L. 2010, p. 1263
“( ) YES Shall the Constitution
( ) NO of Georgia be amended so as
to allow the Georgia Department of
Transportation to enter into multiyear
construction agreements without requiring
appropriations in the current fiscal year for the
total amount of payments that would be due
under the entire agreement so as to reduce
long term construction costs paid by the state?”
This proposal provides an exception to the
general rule that prohibits a state agency from
entering into contracts with private vendors that
obligate payments beyond the funds available
to the agency within its fiscal year. It would
allow the General Assembly by statute to let
the Department of Transportation enter into
construction agreements without obligating
present funds for the full amount of the
obligation. Any such agreement would provide
for the termination of the agreement in the
event of insufficiency of funds and would limit
the payments to not more than ten fiscal years.

amendment is on file in the office of the judge
of the probate court and is available for public

Allows the State to execute multiyear contracts
for projects to improve energy efficiency and
conservation.
Senate Resolution No. 1231
Ga. L. 2010, p. 1264
“( ) YES Shall the Constitution
( ) NO be amended so as to provide for
guaranteed cost savings for the state by
authorizing a state entity to enter into multiyear
contracts which obligate state funds for energy
efficiency or conservation improvement
projects?”
This proposal provides an exception to the
general rule that prohibits a state agency from
entering into contracts with private vendors that
obligate payments beyond the funds available
to the agency within the fiscal year. It would
permit the General Assembly to authorize by
general law state governmental entities to
incur debt for the purpose of entering into
contracts extending for not more than ten years
for governmental energy efficiency or
conservation improvement projects in which
payments are guaranteed over the term of the
contract by vendors based on the realization
of specified savings or revenue gains
attributable solely to the improvements.
The General Assembly has enacted a law to
exercise the authority granted by the proposed
constitutional amendment. This law will
become effective only if the constitutional
amendment is ratified by the voters. This law
is published at Georgia Laws 2010, p. 1091,
and was enacted by 2010 Senate Bill 194, Act
No. 669.

amendment is on file in the office of the judge

Allows owners of industrial zoned property to
choose to remove the industrial designation
from their property.
House Resolution No. 136
Ga. L. 2010, p. 1259
“( ) YES Shall the Constitution
( ) NO of Georgia be amended so as
to allow the owners of real property located in
industrial areas to remove the property from
the industrial area?”
The proposal amends the provisions of the
Constitution relating to industrial areas which
exist in only two counties in the state. Under
the Georgia Constitution in effect prior to 1983
it was possible to have “local constitutional
amendments” which affected only certain
areas in the state. Under this procedure local
constitutional amendments were ratified in
1950 and 1956 creating industrial areas in
Chatham County. Ga. Laws 1950, p. 444, and
Ga. Laws 1956, p. 352. Under these
constitutional amendments property in the
industrial areas could never be annexed to any
city, but any city could provide certain services
and levy certain taxes in such areas. Under
the local constitutional amendment
procedure, the governing authorities of Jeff
Davis County and its political subdivisions were
also authorized to have a different type of
industrial area in which they could exempt new
industries from property taxes for a certain
period of time. Ga. Laws 1963, p. 674.
Under the current Georgia Constitution which
took effect in 1983, new local constitutional
amendments were prohibited, but certain prior
local constitutional amendments, including
those creating industrial areas, were continued
in effect. Any modification in such industrial
areas must now be carried out through a state
wide constitutional amendment.
The current proposal would
modify the conditions under which an owner
of property in an industrial area may choose to
remove the property from the industrial area.
By a general constitutional amendment
ratified in 1996 a property owner was
authorized to remove the property, but only if
the property was located on an island. Ga.
Laws 1996, p. 1667. The current proposed
amendment would remove the island
limitation, so that any owner of property in an
industrial area could choose to remove the
property from the industrial area. Further,
upon the filing of a removal certificate, the
property shall be irrevocably annexed into the
city which provides water services, or if none,
then into the city that provides fire services.
A copy of this entire proposed constitutional
amendment is on file in the office of the judge
of the probate court and is available for public
