HB 424 moves to amend Code Section 16-15-3 and Title 24 of the O.C.G.A to include human sex trafficking, prostitution, pimping and pandering into the definition of criminal gang activity. The legislation revises the rules pertaining to the admissibility of evidence of a complainant’s past sexual behavior in prosecutions for offenses of alleged sexual misconduct. Additionally, the bill repeals the penalty of
battery and redefines the term “exploit” against a person 65 years of age or
older. The bill also allows
Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training certified investigators to conduct
inspections of unlicensed personal care homes, and it further amends the
punishment of improper licensing and crimes against elder persons. |
