Bill > HB1004

This bill expands the authority of the Commissioner of Public Safety to provide security guards to protect certain legislative leaders and their families, similar to the existing protections for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House. Specifically, the bill authorizes the commissioner to provide security guards for the majority and minority leaders of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and their immediate families. Additionally, it allows for security protection for any member of the General Assembly and their immediate family if the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) determines they are facing a credible threat to their safety or security. The bill also clarifies that family members of these protected individuals may be transported at state expense when traveling with them on state-related business or when security considerations warrant it.
