Lawmakers ponder changes to traffic violations
Placeholder Image
Some state lawmakers are examining Georgia’s traffic laws and penalties in an effort to make the court system more effective and efficient. A House study committee on Georgia’s code on motor vehicles and traffic has been meeting with prosecutors, judges, criminal defense lawyers and others to see where laws can be tweaked or improved. The group was formed based on the recommendations of the Criminal Justice Reform Council, which last year suggested an examination of traffic laws.
