The Refunds Class Bill
Georgia bill blocks tax refunds class actions by taxpayers
Ad Valorem Tax; class action suits by taxpayers for refunds; prohibit
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, Georgia would stop people from filing class lawsuits to get back property tax overcharges, so they could not sue the state for refunds.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens lose a powerful tool to get money back from mistaken tax bills, while the state keeps the cash and avoids paying large refunds.
