HB 259 eliminates sales tax and ad valorem tax on motor vehicles. Instead, a "local title fee" of 3.51% of the fair market value of the vehicle less any trade-in value would be imposed for 2012. The local title fee would increase to 3.645% in 2013, to 3.78% in 2014, to 3.915% in 2015 and then to 4.05% for 2016.

The tag agent will distribute the money to the county, the cities and school board in an amount to offset any reduction in ad valorem tax on vehicles that each local government collected during 2011. The remaining funds collected would be distributed to each local government based upon their proportional share of the local sales taxes. ACCG is working with the author to increase the local share over a 10 year period.

This bill establishes the Georgia Racing Commission and allows horseracing and pari-mutuel wagering in Georgia.

HR 186 asks the voters to consider an amendment to the Georgia Constitution that would allow pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing in those counties that approve a referendum.  The net revenue raised from the wagering would be used to fund educational grants, scholorships and loans, pre-kindergarten programs and trauma care services.
