Staff Analysis of the Legislation

HB 759 moves to amend Article 3 of Chapter 19 of Title 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the regulation of the practice of law. The amendment would be in the revision of Code Section 15-19-52, in which the bill further specifies the term "financial institution" through Code Section 7-1-4. After the revisions, the bill will assert that "no... financial institution... whose deposits are federally insured shall be prohibited from giving any advice to its customers in matters incidental to.. providing financial services."
