Staff Analysis of the Legislation

|
This legislation enacts the Georgia Jobs Matter Act, which requires counties and cities to give preference to Georgia businesses. All bids submitted to counties and cities will be required to include an employment impact statement addressing the number of jobs expected to be created or retained in the state by the bidder if the bid is awarded to the bidder; the number of jobs expected to be created or retained in the state by any subcontractors used by the bidder if the contract is awarded to the bidder; and a guarantee that the bidder will not move any jobs created or retained in Georgia to another state during the duration of the contract. |
