Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 40-13-2.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to signature on citations required, effect of failure to sign, exemption for out-of-state drivers, and electronic capture of signature, so as to provide for the issuance of refusal to sign citation; to provide for penalty; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to allow a person who is issued a citation to either sign the citation or refuse to sign it. If the person refuses to sign, the officer will write "Refusal to Sign" on the citation and give it to the person. This removes the previous requirement for the person to post a cash bond if they refuse to sign the citation. The bill also repeals any conflicting laws.
