Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Prostitution penalty wording loses exception reference

The law removes wording that made an introductory prostitution penalty rule subject to an exception in another subsection. The supplied text does not explain how the two subsections now work together. It states no new penalty amount and does not establish whether penalties increase.

Property nondisclosure claims face fewer barriers

The law removes a rule blocking certain claims against property owners, real estate brokers, and affiliated licensed agents. The rule covered failures to disclose information provided, kept, or required under Georgia Code Section 42-9-44.1. People bringing these claims no longer face that specific barrier, while owners and real estate professionals face potential legal liability. The repeal does not guarantee a successful claim or set damages.

School sports discrimination remedy wording changes

The law changes wording about legal remedies for sex discrimination in school sports. It deletes language stating that the student, parent, or guardian is the winning party in the case. The supplied text does not establish whether this makes relief easier or harder to obtain. It also does not describe the other remedies available.
