Current state statute authorizes counties to display the Foundations of American Law and Government in judicial buildings. HB 766 would expand this statute to authorize said display in any public building. Examples of the Foundations of American Law include the Ten Commandments, Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, Magna Carta and Bill of Rights.

This bill increases, from $5,000 to $25,000, the amount that state agencies do not have to put out for competitive bid.  It also redefines and revises the definitions relative to small business assistance to include a "Georgia Resident Business". 

This bill prohibits the state or local governments from limiting the carry of firearms, from those legally licensed to do so, during official states of emergency or any other time.  Those aggrieved may bring civil action to have their firearm returned and, should they prevail, be awarded reasonable attorney fees.
