To amend Code Section 50-5-60 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to preference to supplies, equipment, materials, and agricultural products produced in Georgia, so as to require this state to reciprocate the preferences granted by out-of-state local governments for vendors within their own states when giving preference to resident vendors of this state; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
