State Representatives Mike Cheokas and Matt Reeves are set to hold a press conference to discuss three statewide tax referendums. The event will take place on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 1 p.m. It will be held both in-person at One Sugarloaf Centre in Duluth, Georgia, and virtually via Zoom.
Rep. Mike Cheokas, who serves as the chairman of the House Small Business Development Committee, sponsored House Bill 808 during the 2023–2024 legislative term. This bill proposes an increase in the exemption from property tax for all tangible personal property from $7,500 to $20,000. The legislation was signed by Governor Brian Kemp after the adjournment of the 2024 legislative session and is scheduled to appear on the ballot on November 5, 2024.
Rep. Matt Reeves, vice-chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, collaborated with Rep. Cheokas on this legislation along with other measures aimed at benefiting taxpayers during their term.
The press conference provides an opportunity for interested parties to learn more about these tax referendums ahead of their appearance on the ballot.
