Georgia Senate committee revives measure to limit protests
A Senate committee on Thursday, March 18, 2021, revived a proposal pushed by Robertson to declare more protests illegal and enact harsher penalties for acts including blocking highways. The Senate Public Safety Committee on Thursday voted 5-3 for the amended version of House Bill 289, which previously dealt with requiring a drug and alcohol education course for teens seeking a driver's license. Georgia lawmakers often remove old language and replace it with an unrelated proposal in the closing days of a session. The new proposal Thursday mirrors Senate Bill 171, a measure that Republican Sen. Randy Robertson of Cataula introduced earlier. โThis is based on the insurrection weโve seen happen throughout our country this past year,โ Robertson told the committee Thursday.
