| This legislation changes probate courts' jurisdiction over game and fish code violations. Under current law, probate judges have jurisdiction over violations of the game and fish code except for a first violation of hunting deer at night with the aid of a light and violation of any laws considered to be a high and aggravated nature. This legislation removes these exceptions.This legislation may increase the caseload in probate court, especially in the rural areas. |
| This legislation prohibits cities and counties from enacting any regulation on the use, disposition, sale, prohibition, restriction, fee imposition or taxation whatsoever on "auxiliary containers". These containers include plastic grocery bags, Styrofoam cups, glass or plastic bottles and boxes, made out of any materials, that transport food and beverages. While concerned with the overall preemption, ACCG is working to ensure that local drop-off, curbside and commercial recycling programs, as well as government properties, are exempted from the bill. |
