| This legislation is intended to provide clarity on several provisions of Georgia's weapons carry law, including: the prohibition on carrying of weapons near polling places only applies when locations are being used as polling places; what constitutes a renewal license (if license has 90 or fewer days remaining or has expired within the last 30 days, regardless of county of issuance) and how to address fingerprinting on renewals; proof of serving in the Armed Forces for those between the ages of 18 and 21 who seek a license; how judges report the revocation of licenses and check for license verification; and authorizing counties to prohibit unpaid volunteers from carrying weapons during volunteer functions. |

| This legislation allows the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to create local mental health, developmental disabilities, and addictive disease offices, rather than requiring the Department to create regional offices. This bill also changes the regional boards to advisory councils. This legislation requires the county governing authority with a population of 50,000 or less shall appoint one person to the newly created advisory council and one additional person for every 50,000 of population, by July 1. |

| This legislation changes the requirements for the filing of maps and plats with the superior court clerk. Under current law, all maps and plats are filed and recorded in the superior court clerk's office. HB 1004 no longer requires that physical maps and plats be maintained in the superior court clerk's office. Instead, digital images will be maintained by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). The superior court clerk is required to keep a public computer terminal to provide access to the maps and plats. |

| This is the General Assembly's 2016 omnibus gun carry legislation, making many revisions to current statute. Among its provisions, the bill addresses fairness in financial transactions with firearms dealers; honors out-of-state gun licenses in Georgia for 90 days for those that move here; allows hunters and fishermen to carry knives; revises school safety zone carry; allows probate courts to distribute gun safety information; addresses the suspension of a carry application; renewing licenses; exempting certain law enforcement officers from license requirements and allowing carry in a courthouse; carrying weapons at a commercial service airport; and appealing the denial of a license to those declared mentally incompetent. The provision which would have made it impossible to prohibit weapons in government buildings leased to third parties (e.g. arenas, football domes, baseball fields, concert halls, etc.) was removed from the bill. |
