Staff Analysis of the Legislation
SB 163 amends Part 3 of Article 4 of Chapter 11 of Title 16 of the OCGA. Section 1 states that no one should create or maintain a multijurisdictional data base of information regarding weapon license carriers. In addition, when the Probate court renews or issues a weapons carry license they should submit the application to the Georgia Crime Information Center. They should then match the application with motor vehicle and driver licenses in their databases. This information will only be available to criminal justice agencies for law enforcement or criminal investigative purposes.
