| This legislation directs the State of Georgia to ignore any federal statute, rule or executive order; federal or state judicial order; or judicial findings that would prohibit someone from having a firearm, or from confiscating their firearm, without due process. Furthermore, local governments will be prohibited from accepting any federal grants to implement any federal statutes or rules that would prohibit firearm ownership or would confiscate a firearm and will charge anyone, including law enforcement officers, who violate these provisions with a felony. |

| Georgia currently has weapons carry permit reciprocity agreements with many states, meaning gun licenses from those other states will be honored here and Georgia permits will be honored in those states. This bill states that anyone licensed to carry a weapon in "any" other state is authorized to carry in Georgia. It also requires the Attorney General to enter into an agreement with any state that requires an agreement to give effect to this expanded reciprocity. |

|
| This bill requires probate judges, at county expense, to send a notice to weapons carry license holders to let them know when their license is about to expire. The notice can be sent via mail or e-mail and must be sent no more than 90 days, but no fewer than 30 says, before the expiration date of a person's license. While this may be a good idea for a county to consider, there will be additional costs, your licensing system may not have this capability, and failure to adhere to this mandate will likely subject the county to litigation. Lastly, if this is such a good idea, state law should require that notices be sent to the public whenever a driver's licenses or any other state license/permit is about to expire. ACCG asks you to please contact your probate judge and let us know if this requirement is feasible, and at what cost to the county. We welcome any other input you may have. |

| This bill provides that counties cannot charge the $30 fee from applicants renewing their Georgia Weapons Carry Permit. The county still has to produce the renewal license to meet state-mandated specifications; however, other taxpayers must bear the cost of its production. ACCG has no issues if the state wishes to take over and fund this service from counties, and then charge however much or little as the state deems appropriate. |
