This legislation revises current Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) law by providing that each SDS agreement be reviewed and updated by January 1st of the third year after the census, along with other, new renegotiation triggers. It also allows any city to trigger renegotiations unilaterally. In addition to losing state grants, loans and permits, local governments failing to submit or implement a service delivery strategy within 180 days of being required to do so will have 10 percent of all SPLOST, LOST, HOST or other local tax proceeds held until an SDS agreement is reached.
