Official Summary: A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Part 1 of Article 3 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to wiretapping, eavesdropping, surveillance, and related offenses, so as to prohibit the use of a device to film under or through a person's clothing under certain circumstances; to provide for definitions; to provide for exceptions; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
It is the for other purposes that really has me stumped. This passed the Georgia House by 62%.
And why is it not also "Look up your pant leg" law? I mean "the law" already can make a person strip search 'in certain circumstances" so why does anyone need this?
This is religious bigotry. WHAT????? Yes, it is true. See everyone wants to be able to look under a burka. That is all this is about and it is driven by ethnic hatred, bigotry and fear.
And there is also this mess for private college campuses.

Education: Private post secondary institutions in Georgia shall not adopt sanctuary policies; provide
Current Status: Senate Read and Referred
Official Summary: A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Article 1 of Chapter 3 of Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to definitions, so as to provide definitions; to provide that private postsecondary institutions in this state shall not adopt sanctuary policies; to provide for penalties for violations; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
Here again there is a special status for some people that others are discriminated against. This passed the Georgia House by 52%. "Hot topic."
There are words taking on very upsetting status over others. They are trigger happy political words, like sanctuary that have the purpose to place fear and hatred in the minds of Americans. There is no need for this law. Private institutions in the USA have status that is different from the public realm. This law is unconstitutional. Private schools can act in the best interests of their students and if they want their school to be a sanctuary to an ethnic group it has the right to do so. I see the most aggrieved institutions are going to be affiliated with the Catholic Church.
More gerrymandering in Georgia. It passed the Georgia House by 75%. This is not a minor change in the state's districts (click here).

State House districts; revise boundaries of a certain district
Current Status: House Committee Favorably Reported By Substitute
Official Summary: A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend an Act to provide for the composition and number of state house districts, approved August 24, 2011 (Ga. L. 2011, Ex. Sess., p. 3), as amended, particularly by an Act approved February 23, 2012 (Ga. L. 2012, p. 21), and by an Act approved May 12, 2015 (Ga. L. 2015, p. 1413), so as to revise the boundaries of a certain state house district; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
There is going to be a Georgia Senate bill that will once again try to minimize "Blue Laws" on Sunday to facilitate the sale of alcohol. Sunday is a Christian recognition of worship and is just plain religious bigotry.
There is also a Georgia Senate bill for 'upskirting.' The officials carrying out the "Look up your skirt" law should, as a public service, make referrals to plastic surgeons for treatment of cellulite. I mean, that is not a Brazilian butt, honey.
The Georgia Senate passed SB 45 with 69 percent approval. True. 69%. You can't make this stuff up.

There is that other purposes thing. See, that is a lazy legislature. With a law that will completely insult the sensibilities of the American people, the law should be very specific and not just FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
And Georgia SB 233 simply puts the frosting on the cake, or buttocks which ever one prefers. There wasn't that many enthusiastic about this bill, only 10% voted for it. Interesting.

Then there are those trigger happy gun folks in Georgia. They want guns on campuses without a need for conceal carry. Odd, no sanctuary, but, plenty of guns.
