| This bill makes several changes to equalized HOST: 1) if it is in effect, then future MARTA rate increases are prohibited; and 2) items such as food and food ingredients sold to students and school employees, prescription drugs, food bank sales food donations following a disaster, and other items, are exempt from the tax. The bill also changes SPLOST so that when EHOST is approved by the voters, then the only authorized use of SPLOST proceeds is transportation purposes. |

| This bill changes the standard for recovering costs of litigation and attorney's fees on ad valorem tax valuations. Under O.C.G.A. 48-5-311(g)(4)(B)(ii)(III), the current standard is if the final determination of value is 85 percent or less than the valuation set by the board of equalization, hearing officer, or arbitrator, then the taxpayer can recover the costs. The bill changes this standard to 85 percent or less of the value set by the county board of tax assessors. |
