Abstract

These acts expand Georgia's drug legislation. SB 593 criminalizes the use of a minor for any drug related activity. HB 1779 criminalizes the possession, distribution, or manufacturing of controlled substances within 1000 feet of certain designated areas, such as playgrounds and housing projects. SB 834 provides a penalty for trafficking in methamphetamine. HB 601 amends Code section 21-2-140 to provide reimbursement to candidates for state office for the cost of required drug tests.
