Rep. Williamson recognized for legislative service by Association County Commissioners of Georgia

WALTON COUNTY, GA (Sept. 1, 2026) At a meeting in Walton County last month, Georgia State Rep. Bruce Williamson (R-Monroe) received a 2026 Legislative Service Award for his work during the 2026 legislative session on Senate Bill 566. The award was presented by the Association County Commissioners of Georgia.

“I would like to thank ACCG for this award,” Rep. Williamson said in a press release from the Georgia House of Representatives. “It was a pleasure to collaborate with them on SB 566 and the associated reforms to the notice of assessment. The changes will make it easier for my constituents and all Georgians to see and understand how their property is being assessed.”

According to the press release, Williamson led one of ACCG’s top legislative priorities in 2026 by championing reforms to the notice of assessment and property tax administration process. As sponsor of HB 275 and House sponsor of SB 566, ACCG noted that Williamson helped modernize and simplify the property tax notice and tax bill format.

“For more than a decade, ACCG has honored members of the General Assembly through our Legislative Service Awards program,” said Executive Director Dave Wills. “This awards program serves as a way for us to express our gratitude to legislators for their efforts during the session, while emphasizing the importance of collaboration between state and local officials.”

ACCG is Georgia’s county association and works on behalf of county officials and their communities by providing public policy and legislative advocacy, leadership development, civic and community engagement initiatives, insurance and retirement programs that specialize in local government needs and other cost-saving programs.  Formed in 1914 when county officials came together to help fund the state’s first highway department, ACCG today serves as a catalyst for advancing Georgia’s counties.  For more information, please visit www.accg.org.
