PROPERTY TAX HELP IS HERE!
HR 1022
Passed all across the state!
The General Assembly passed HB581 this year and although it is a comprehensive amendment relating to revenue and taxation, the legislation changes several ad valorem tax provisions and creates a new local sales tax for property tax relief.
​
HR1022, the constitutional amendment that appeared on the November ballot passed OVERWHELMINGLY.
Municipalities who opted out by the March 2025 now have an extended time to reconsider under HB92 (2025 session).
​
Rep. Taylor supports and favors this opportunity for homeowners to save on their property taxes.

​
We are happy to report that Rockdale City, County and School Board has opted to remain in, thereby listening and heeding to the concerns of the citizens.
Safe At Home Act​
New rental laws are now enforceable!
All of the new rules are wonderful, but most beneficial is:
No landlord shall demand or receive a security deposit in an amount that exceeds the equivalent to two months' rent. This alone will bring tremendous assistance to renters.

Representative Rhonda Taylor proudly supports SB55
This bill relates to labor and industrial relations, so as to phase out the payment of subminimum wage to persons with disabilities. It repeals provisions concerning exemptions to the state minimum wage law for persons with disabilities; to provide that no employer shall utilize a certificate issued by the United States Department of Labor to pay individuals with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage.
​
This is a huge success for workers with disabilities because they can no longer be treated as sub-humans (my words). Who ever thought a company could legally pay you less because you have a disability? Shameful! I am thrilled to have supported this legislation and please that the Governor signed it.
​
There were other really good bipartisan bills passed in the 2025 legislative session not to mention the $37.7 billion 2026FY budget. To learn more about the new laws, click here.​​​​​
