July 1st Brings Dozens of New Georgia Laws
Monday, June 29th, 2015
July 1 brings the start of a new year for state government, and dozens of laws that go into effect for the first time.
Lawmakers can specify when bills go into effect, either when signed by a governor, at the start of a new year or a mix of both. For instance, the state's new law allowing people with certain medical conditions to sign up for a medical cannabis registry allowing them to possess oil has been up and running since mid-June.
