|
| As amended in Senate Committee, this legislation applies any "allowance" made to a city participating in an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for sewer operation to all cities participating in the same IGA related to any metropolitan sewer operation. While that language is unclear, the bill originally only applied with respect to a city levying a Municipal Option Sales Tax (which presently is only Atlanta) and would allow other cities to levy a MOST if those cities are parties to an IGA with the city that currently levies a MOST. |
