Bill Summary
A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Chapter 11 of Title 45 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to miscellaneous offenses concerning public officers and employees, so as to revise the prohibition of persons engaged in the bail bond business from serving in certain elected offices; to provide for a definition; to permit persons engaged in the bail bond business to serve in elected offices other than county and municipal offices; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's law on public officers and employees to revise the prohibition on persons engaged in the bail bond business from serving in certain elected offices. It provides a definition of "local elected official" to exclude elected members of local school boards. The bill permits persons engaged in the bail bond business to serve in elected offices other than county and municipal offices, which were previously prohibited. This change allows bail bond businesses to participate in a broader range of elected positions, while maintaining the restriction on serving in county and municipal elected offices.
