:: Special Council on Tax Reform and Fairness
blank space

The Special Council on Tax Fairness for Georgians was established pursuant to OCGA 28-12-2 (HB1405) to "conduct a thorough study of the state's current revenue structure and make a report of its findings and recommendations for legislation to the Speaker of the House and the Lieutenant Governor no later than January 10, 2011.

The work of this Council will be used to draft legislation that will be subject to primarily technical amendments by a special Joint Committee of the House and Senate during the 2011 session.  Legislation produced by this Committee will receive a vote from both chambers.

I strongly encourage everyone to participate in the work of this Council.  It will shape tax policy for decades to come, and every citizen should be aware of their work.  To follow the Council or to learn more:  http://fiscalresearch.gsu.edu/taxcouncil/
