A bill introduced last week in the Georgia General Assembly would add a fifth Superior Court judge to the circuit covering Hall and Dawson counties. Rep. Lee Hawkins, R-Gainesville, is sponsoring House Bill 138 along with other members from the Hall and Dawson delegations in the state House of Representatives.
