Bill Summary · HR 97

Legislative bill overview

HR 97 authorizes the conveyance (transfer) of specified state-owned property in Georgia. The bill passed both chambers and was signed into law by the Governor on May 14, 2025, becoming Act 364. The specific properties involved and their intended recipients are not detailed in the action summary provided.

Why is this important

Property transfers by state government can have significant implications for public assets, local development, and revenue. These conveyances may affect how state land is used, who benefits from it, and whether the state receives fair market value or other consideration. Understanding which properties are involved and to whom they transfer is essential for public accountability.

Potential points of contention

  • Transparency and public notice: Whether adequate public disclosure occurred regarding which properties are being transferred and to whom
  • Valuation and consideration: Whether the state received appropriate compensation or if properties were conveyed at below-market rates to specific recipients
  • Local impact: How property transfers affect local municipalities, tax bases, and community development plans that may depend on state land
