The Georgia Conflict of Interest in Zoning Action Statue (O.C.G.A. §§ 36-67A-1 et seq.) requires disclosure of certain
campaign contributions made by applicants for rezoning actions and by opponents of rezoning application. A rezoning
applicant or opponent of a rezoning application must disclose contributions or gifts which in aggregate total $250.00 or
more if made within the last two years to a current member of Effingham County Planning Board, Board of Commissioners,
or other Effingham County official who will consider the application. The campaign contribution disclosure requirement
applies to an opponent of a rezoning application who publishes his or her opposition by appearance before the Planning
Board or Board of Commissioners or by any other oral or written communication to a member or members of the Planning
Board or Board of Commissioners. Disclosure must be reported to the Board of Commissioners by applicants within ten
(10) days after the rezoning application is filed and by opponents at least five (5) days prior to the first hearing by the
Planning Board. Any person knowing failing to comply with these requirements shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
