This legislation, one of ACCG's top priorities, seeks to halt the now-common state practice of redirecting fees from their designated purposes to the state's general fund for other uses.  If fees for the Solid Waste Trust Fund, Hazardous Waste Trust Fund, Indigent Defense, Peace Officers and Prosecutors Training Fund and teen driver's education are not appropriated for their intended use, the fees will be reduced or eliminated, proportionate to the amount that is redirected. 
 
While the Senate once again halted this legislation, HB 276 did pass both chambers, applying the above fee-reduction mechanism to the Hazardous and Solid Waste Trust Funds.

This resolution, if ratified by Georgia voters, would allow the General Assembly, by a two-thirds vote, to establish trust funds that have truly dedicated fees (e.g. Hazardous Waste and Solid Waste Trust Funds). The fees could be diverted in a declared financial emergency and majority vote of the General Assembly, or if the General Assembly votes (two-thirds) to do so.
