GCO Sues Code Revision Commission, Governor Over HB 826

GCO has filed a lawsuit against the Code Revision Commission, its members, and the Governor for their failure to implement, publish, and give effect to the bulk of House Bill 826, which decriminalized carrying firearms in “school safety zones” for GWL holders. The suit seeks a writ of mandamus against the Code Revision Commission and its members, requiring them to publish in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated the complete enactment of the General Assembly in HB 826. It also seeks a declaration against the governor that it is not a crime for a GWL holder to carry a firearm within a school safety zone. A copy of the complaint may be found here.
