SB 262 amends Title 15 of the O.C.G.A. relating to courts, to change provisions relating to when a judge, grand juror or trial juror is automatically disqualified from presiding or serving based on consanguinity or affinity to an interested party. It changes the current sixth degree of relationship standard for disqualification to a third degree standard. The bill was amended to include HB 1027 which provides that by court rule or standing order any superior court or state court may accept electronic filings and for the acceptance of payments and remittances by electronic means. In addition, it clarifies provisions related to the filing of documents by electronic means in magistrate court.
