This afternoon HB 859 PASSED the Georgia State Senate Floor vote by a margin of 37-17.
We would like to thank the members of the Senate, the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Rules Committee and Lt. Governor Casey Cagle for taking up this bill, allowing it to be heard and vetted and put before the Senators for their consideration.
A special thanks to Senator Jesse Stone for his great work shepherding this bill through the Senate.

The bill now heads to the Governors desk to await his action to either sign the bill into law, veto the bill or do not sign the bill and allow it to become law without his signature.
