Public Records Request by Tech Watchdog Group Tech Herron, Robin From: graham thompson <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 1, 2021 9:59 AM To: Curry, Lauren;Brantley, Bert Subject: Two issues for discussion: app store reforms and possible extension of HTDC sales tax exemption Attachments: Switch Georgia Economic Development Report Summary.pptx; 21-01 SW_Georgia Map v2.pdf; LC364553.DRAFT.pdf CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I hope you had a great weekend. The app store reform issue will be dropped today in the State Senate and tomorrow in the State House. Please find the draft legislation focused on the IAP (in app purchasing) issue for initial debate, and possible expanded proposals to come later in the week (self-preferencing, app developers being able to directly communicate with customers, etc). Also, Switch had a very positive meeting with Gov. Kemp and Trey pre-session. At that meeting, it was shared that CBRE recently named metro Atlanta a top 5 US market for new data center space leasing. This is tremendous news and we want to build on this success. Switch is telling me HTDC clients are signing 10-year, not 3-year lease agreements as clients look to make longer term investments and decisions for data storage. Given this trend, we would like to start a discussion with your office about possibly extending the current sunset of 2028 for the HTDC sales tax exemption on client computer equipment to 2038, and I have attached two documents for review and discussion. One shows the incredible economic impact of the Switch project (now in phase 3) and other new investments that have been the result of the 2018 adopted incentive. Additionally, we are sharing a state-by-state map detailing how states we compete with are extending sunsets (if a sunset even exists) to encourage long-term investment in individual state's data infrastructure. As you know, Virginia is our number 1 competitor. Sorry for the long email, but I look forward to catching up this week if possible. Thanks, OGT -- O.

    House of Representatives JON BURNS MAJORITY LEADER ROOM 338, STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30334 December 4, 2020 SENT VIA EMAIL: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Chairperson of the State Election Board Mrs. Rebecca N. Sullivan Vice-Chairperson of the State Election Board Dear Secretary Raffensperger and Mrs. Sullivan, As I am sure you have seen over the past month, many Georgians, including my colleagues who have signed this correspondence, have serious concerns about Georgia’s elections. As we approach a critical election on January 5, 2021, it is clear that Georgia voters must have confidence in the election process going forward. To that end, below you will find two common-sense suggestions: a rule that should be promulgated by the State Election Board (the “SEB”) and additional resources of which the Office of the Secretary of State (the “SOS”) or the SEB could take advantage. I. Absentee Ballot Application and Mail-In Absentee Ballot Signature Review Process. As the process currently stands, when a voter wishes to vote early by mail, they submit an Absentee Ballot Application (“Application”) either through the mail or online. When a local Board of Registrars (the “BOR”) receives a paper Application, typically, a single employee of the BOR is responsible for the initial review of a signature on a paper Application. If that paper Application is accepted, the BOR mails an Absentee Ballot to the voter. The process for reviewing signatures on the external envelope of a returned Absentee Ballot is the same – a single employee of the BOR is allowed to “approve” a signature without oversight by other employees or independent observers.

Wigton, Director (404) 656-5050 Christine Murdock, Deputy Director 2021 Session Report HB 32 Income tax; credit for teacher recruitment and retention program; provide By: Rep. D. C. Belton (112th) Through the Ways & Means Committee Final Bill Summary: House Bill 32 amends O.C.G.A. 20-2-251 to create a refundable income tax credit for a teacher recruitment and retention program managed by the State Board of Education. Eligible teachers include those with a bachelor's degree in education from a postsecondary institution in Georgia that has a teacher certification program certified by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Additionally, a teacher must accept their first school-year contract in the 2021-2022 school year in a high-need subject area in a rural school or a school that performed in the lowest five percent of schools in this state and must hold a valid five- year induction or professional certificate from the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Regional Education Service Agencies determine which three content areas are considered a high-need subject area. Eligible teachers must submit an application to the Department of Education to participate. The department will identify no more than 100 rural and low-performing schools, and the recruitment and retention program is limited to 1,000 participating teachers. Participating teachers are eligible for a non- refundable tax credit of $3,000 per each school year for no more than five years. The tax credit earned may be carried forward for up to three years.

  • Session Report
    Georgia House of Representatives SESSION REPORT House Budget & Research Office Martha R. Wigton, Director (404) 656-5050 Christine Murdock, Deputy Director 2021 Session Report HB 32 Income tax; credit for teacher recruitment and retention program; provide By: Rep. D. C. Belton (112th) Through the Ways & Means Committee Final Bill Summary: House Bill 32 amends O.C.G.A. 20-2-251 to create an income tax credit for a teacher recruitment and retention program managed by the State Board of Education. Eligible teachers include those with a bachelor's degree in education from a postsecondary institution in Georgia that has a teacher certification program certified by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Additionally, a teacher must accept their first school-year contract in the 2021-2022 school year in a high-need subject area in a rural school or a school that performed in the lowest five percent of schools in this state and must hold a valid five- year induction or professional certificate from the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Regional Education Service Agencies determine which three content areas are considered a high-need subject area. Eligible teachers must submit an application to the Department of Education to participate. The department will identify no more than 100 rural and low-performing schools, and the recruitment and retention program is limited to 1,000 participating teachers. Participating teachers are eligible for a non- refundable tax credit of $3,000 per each school year for no more than five years. The tax credit earned may be carried forward for up to three years.
