All updates are current as of the writing of the blog.
 
Floor Updates
 
H.B. 334 Remote Online Notary by Rep. Joseph Gullett (R), Dallas.  On Tuesday, the Senate appointed their conferees to a conference committee to resolve differences between the two chambers’ versions of HB 334.  Preliminary compromise language has been circulating and CBA will continue to stay engaged as we review any future versions of this bill for potential impact and/or benefit.  Both CBA and ICBA provided letters of support for the concept of Remote Online Notary to the author of the bill. 
 
S.B. 331 Employee Work Hours by Sen. John Albers (R), Roswell.  The House adopted the bill 99-67, largely along party lines.  Democrats motioned to reconsider the bill, but the motion failed with a vote of 67-95.  The bill is now eligible for the Governor’s signature.
 
S.B. 493 Nonjudicial Foreclosure for Time-Shares Estates by Rep. Jeff Mullis (R), Chickamauga.  The bill was passed by the House with a vote of 159-2.  The bill is now eligible for the Governor’s signature.  Identical legislation (HB 1088) is pending in the Senate Rules Committee and may now become an attractive vehicle for an unrelated measure.
 
Committee Actions
 
H.B. 586 Georgia Economic Renewal Act of 2021 by Rep. Sam Watson (R), Moultrie.  The bill was passed as a substitute by the Senate Finance Committee.
 
H.B. 620 Settlements Involving Claims of Minors by Rep. Rob Leverett (R), Elberton.  The bill was passed as a substitute by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 
H.B. 733 Guaranteed Asset Protection Waiver by Rep. Tyler Paul Smith (R), Bremen.  The bill was passed by the Senate Insurance and Labor Committee. 
 
H.B. 997 Ad Valorem Timber Exemption by Rep. Sam Watson (R), Moultrie. The bill was passed by the Senate Finance Committee.
 
H.B. 1294  Dereliction Notices for Abandoned Mobile Homes by Rep. John Corbett (R), Lake Park.  The bill was passed by the Senate Special Judiciary Committee.
 
H.B. 1350 Notices to Beneficiaries Regarding Probate Wills by Rep. Will Wade (R), Dawsonville.  The bill was passed as a substitute by the Senate Special Judiciary Committee.  On line 51 of the bill, the words “bank or trust company” were changed to say “financial institution as defined in O.C.G.A. 7-1-911”.
 
S.B. 332 Inform Consumers Act by Sen. John Albers (R), Roswell.  The bill was passed as a substitute by the House Judiciary Committee. 
 
S.B. 345 Prohibit Vaccine Passports by Sen. Jeff Mullis (R), Chickamauga.  The bill was passed by the House Health & Human Services Committee. 
 
S.B. 363 Solicitations for Corporate Filings or Employment or Labor Posters by Sen. Blake Tillery (R), Vidalia.  The bill was passed by the House Judiciary Committee. 
 
Hearings Only
 
H.B. 1352 Disposition of Unclaimed Property and Certain Wills by Rep. Vance Smith, Jr. (R), Pine Mountain.  The bill was presented to the Senate Special Judiciary Committee.  There were numerous questions about the bill as it relates to the Department of Revenue and the implementation of the program.
 
S.B. 227 Blighted Properties by Sen. Harold Jones II (D), Augusta.  The bill was presented to the House Governmental Affairs Subcommittee.
 
S.B. 364 Telephone Solicitations by Sen. Blake Tillery (R), Vidalia.  The bill was presented to the House Judiciary Committee. 
 
S.B. 374 Data Analytic Center by Sen. Blake Tillery (R), Vidalia.  The bill was presented to the House Judiciary Committee.
