Chamber Passed·3/4/26

Georgia HB1129 amends enterprise zone criteria, exempts local sales tax for redevelopment projects, and limits urban zones.

Georgia HB1129 modifies the criteria for designating enterprise zones, allowing local sales and use tax exemptions for redevelopment projects. It prohibits state sales tax exemptions unless approved by the Governor. The bill limits the number of enterprise zones in urban areas to four and prohibits casino-related projects. It also allows local governments to collect fees from retailers within designated zones and use the revenue for infrastructure development. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026, and any conflicting laws are repealed.
