Staff Analysis of the Legislation
SB 285 revises O.C.G.A. § 17-6-1, relating to bailable offenses, allowing for judges to include as a condition of bail the prohibition from operating a motor vehicle, if the offense involves violations of O.C.G.A. § 40-6-393, relating to homicide by vehicle. When a court of inquiry imposes this condition of bail, it shall submit such restriction to the Department of Driver Services and the Georgia Crime Information Center. SB 285 also requires the GCIC to receive and store this information, and make it available to criminal justice agenices and the DDS.
