Bill > HB661

This bill enhances penalties related to voter qualifications and registration in Georgia by amending Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the Official Code of Georgia. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to Code Section 21-2-216 that makes violations of voter qualification rules a felony offense. By referencing Code Section 21-2-600, the bill indicates that individuals who violate voter qualification regulations can be criminally prosecuted and punished as a felony, though the specific punishment details are not provided in this bill text. The bill appears to be aimed at strengthening legal consequences for individuals who potentially misrepresent their voter eligibility or improperly register to vote, with the intent of maintaining the integrity of Georgia's electoral process. The legislation follows standard legislative procedure by including a clause that repeals any conflicting laws, which is a common practice to ensure the new law can be implemented without legal contradictions.
