Staff Analysis of the Legislation

HB 744 amends O.C.G.A. ยง 16-6-5.1, relating to sexual assault by persons with supervisory or disciplinary authority. The bill seeks to move the current section (b)(1) regarding assault by educational authorities such as teachers, principals, and other school administrators into a new subsection (b.1). The section would retain the current language as (b)(1) but would remove the requirement for the offender to possess supervisory or disciplinary authority.
