ATLANTA — Lawmakers from Cherokee County say they’ve finally pushed a long-running local-government cleanup bill across the finish line.
State Sen. John Albers, R-Roswell, and state Rep. Brad Thomas, R-Holly Springs, announced that House Bill 1029 has passed the Georgia General Assembly and is headed to the governor’s desk.
If signed, HB 1029 would amend the City of Holly Springs’ charter by revising the city’s corporate boundaries and changing the makeup of the City Council to match updated district lines. Supporters say the goal is to align local governance with current maps and expectations for representation.
Albers and Thomas framed the measure as a response to constituent concerns and a push for clearer coordination among local governments and county stakeholders in Cherokee County.
The bill now awaits the Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision.
