HB 495 amends Chapter 7 of Title 50 of the OCGA by adding
Article 10. Article defines employer, and then states that if an employer
intends to relocate a call center that consists of 30% of more of the total
volume of calls, he or she must notify the commissioner at least 120 days in
advanced. The penalty for not doing so will be enforced by the Attorney General
and will be a civil penalty up to $10,000. In addition, on July 1, 2017 the
commissioner will be required to generate a list of employers who relocate
their call centers, because those on the list will not be eligible to receive
grants, loans, or tax credits from the state for five years. As of July 1, 2019
every individual who works call centers for the state must work within that
state. |
