To amend Code Section 36-37-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to disposition of municipal property generally, so as to authorize certain transfers of property to bona fide nonprofit resource conservation and development councils; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

Code Section 36-37-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to disposition of municipal property generally, is amended by striking subsection (h) and inserting in its place a new subsection (h) to read as follows:
"(h) Notwithstanding any provision of this Code section to the contrary or any other provision of law or ordinance to the contrary, whenever any municipal corporation determines that the establishment of a facility of the state or one of its authorities or other instrumentalities or of a bona fide nonprofit resource conservation and development council would be of benefit to the municipal corporation, by way of providing activities in an area in need of redevelopment, by continuing or enhancing local employment opportunities, or by other means or in other ways, such municipal corporation may sell or grant any of its real or personal property to the state or to any of its authorities or instrumentalities or to a bona fide nonprofit resource conservation and development council and, further, may sell or grant such lesser interests, rental agreements, licenses, easements, and other dispositions as it may determine necessary or convenient. These powers shall be cumulative of other powers and shall not be deemed to limit their exercise in any way."
