Last week, the Georgia Senate granted final passage to Senate Bill 10, which introduces measures to establish an offense for knowingly attending and facilitating illegal drag races and to heighten penalties for reckless driving.
“I am extremely pleased to witness the successful advancement of this pivotal legislation through both chambers of the Georgia General Assembly,” Sen. Emanuel Jones, D–Decatur, said in a statement. “With over three decades of experience in the automotive industry, this measure holds immense significance for me.
“It represents a crucial step towards combatting illegal drag racing and reckless stunt driving, thus contributing to enhanced road safety for all Georgians,” Jones added. “I extend my gratitude to my colleagues in both the Senate and the House for their support in passing this bill, which marks significant progress in Georgia’s ongoing efforts to safeguard our roads.”
The bill now awaits to be signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp.
