Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 1 of Title 35 of the Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions regarding law enforcement officers and agencies, so as to provide for certain federal agents to clearly identify themselves while in the performance of their duties; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires federal agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to clearly identify themselves while performing their official duties. Specifically, these agents must wear a name badge, patch, or other visible insignia that personally identifies them, and they must wear a uniform that clearly shows which agency they represent. Additionally, any vehicle used by these agents during their official duties must be marked in a way that clearly indicates the agency affiliation. The purpose of this legislation appears to be increasing transparency and accountability for federal law enforcement agents operating in Georgia, by ensuring that they are easily identifiable to the public during the performance of their jobs. The bill will amend the Georgia Code by adding a new section that mandates these identification requirements for the specified federal agencies.
