www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick has prompted state Rep. Chuck Efstration, R-Dacula, to reiterate calls for the Georgia Senate to pass a hate crimes bill previously passed by the Georgia House of Representatives.
Efstration, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee, said the Senate should quickly take up House Bill 426 when the Georgia General Assembly reconvenes this summer. The bill, also known as the Georgia Hate Crimes Act, was passed by the Georgia House last year, but it is still sitting in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“For two years, I have been working to pass a hate crimes law in Georgia,” said Chairman Efstration. “Speaker David Ralston made this bipartisan bill a priority in the Georgia House of Representatives last year, and I am calling on the State Senate to pass House Bill 426 as soon as possible.”
