Staff Analysis of the Legislation
HB 534 amends O.C.G.A. Code Section 16-6-22, relating to incest, by changing the offense to include half-blood relationships between grandparents and grandchildren, and aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews. Current law only prohibits sexual intercourse and sodomy between grandparents and grandchildren of the whole blood, and aunt/uncles and nieces/nephews of the whole blood.
