SUMMARIES OF PROPOSED CON
STITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS
Pursuant to requirements of the Geor
gia Constitution, Attorney General
Christopher Carr, Secretary of State
Brad Raffensperger, and Legislative
Counsel Richard C. Ruskell hereby
provide the summaries of the proposed
constitutional amendments that will ap
pear on the November 3,2020, general
election ballot for consideration by the
people of Georgia (short captions are
those adopted by the Constitutional
Amendments Publication Board):
-1 -
Authorizes dedication of fees and
taxes to their intended purposes by
general state law.
House Resolution No. 164
Resolution Act No. 597
Ga. L. 2020, p. 919
"( ) YES
( )NO
Shall the Constitution of Georgia be
amended so as to authorize the Gen
eral Assembly to dedicate revenues
derived from fees or taxes to the public
purpose for which such fees or taxes
were intended?"
Summary
This proposal authorizes the Georgia
General Assembly by general law to
require that fees or taxes collected for
some specific intended public purpose
be used as so intended. It requires
any such general law to identify the
specific public purpose, name the state
agency to administer the funds, require
the agency to make annual reports of
revenues and expenses, and automati
cally end the fee or tax within ten years.
It prohibits the General Assembly
from designating funds when total
revenues so dedicated equal or
exceed one percent of the total
state revenues based on the
previous fiscal year's appropri
ated state revenues. It exempts
such general laws from certain
state constitutional restrictions.
It requires that such general
laws, including amendments, be
approved by two-thirds of each
chamber of the General Assem
bly, but allows for repeal of such
general laws by simple majority
vote. It prohibits attempts to real
locate dedicated funds through
any appropriations act or amend
ment. It provides for temporary
suspension of such general laws
by the Governor or by the General
Assembly in the event of a finan
cial emergency, subject to certain
limitations. It amends Article III,
Section IX, Paragraph VI of the
Georgia Constitution by redesig
nating the second subparagraph
(o), relating to the dedication of
the excise tax on the sale of fire
works, as subparagraph (p), by
redesignating subparagraph (p),
relating to the Georgia Outdoor
Stewardship Fund, as subpara
graph (q), and by adding a new
subparagraph (r).
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.
-2-
Waives state and local sover
eign immunity for violation of
state laws, state and federal
constitutions.
House Resolution 1023
Resolution Act No. 596
Ga. L. 2020, p. 917
"( ) YES
( ) NO
Shall the Constitution of Georgia
be amended to waive sovereign
immunity and allow the people of
Georgia to petition the superior
court for relief from governmental
acts done outside the scope of
lawful authority or which violate
the laws of this state, the Consti
tution of Georgia, or the Constitu
tion of the United States?"
Summary
This proposal waives state and
local sovereign immunity so as
to allow citizens to sue the State
of Georgia, its departments and
other agencies, and its local
governments in superior courts
and authorizes superior courts to
order state and local officers and
employees to cease violations
of the Georgia Constitution, the
laws of the State of Georgia, or
the United States Constitution,
beginning with violations occur
ring on or after January 1,2021.
It requires that such suits be
brought only against the State or
Georgia, or in the case of a local
government, against the specific
local government. It requires
superior courts to dismiss any
such lawsuit that names any
individual state or local public
officer or employee as a defen
dant. It maintains the ability of
superior courts to dismiss such
suits based on other appropriate
legal or equitable grounds or
limitation on review in superior
court. It prohibits any type of
monetary award, including at
torney's fees or costs of litigation,
unless authorized by an Act of
the Georgia General Assembly.
It does not prohibit the General
Assembly from further waiving
certain other immunities provided
for under Georgia's Constitution,
though it does not waive any im
munity provided for by the United
States Constitution. It amends
Article I, Section II, Paragraph
V of the Georgia Constitution
by rendering the current text
subparagraph (a) and adding a
new subparagraph (b).
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.
