The new legislation introduced today by Georgia State Sen. Bill Hamrick (R-Carrollton) as the Child Protection and Public Safety Act (SB 292) recommends that the state adopt a revised juvenile code for delinquent and deprived children.
This could prove to be a landmark bill, modernizing a set of laws that were first set in place during the early 1970’s and amended haphazardly over the decades.
The actual bill hasn’t been posted to the Georgia General Assembly website yet, but you can learn more about SB 292 in a press release posted on the JUSTGeorgia website.
