A pair of bills—one that would if enacted overturn a Georgia Supreme Court ruling—that would have significant impacts on child sexual abuse cases in civil and criminal court are on the frontrunner as the Georgia General Assembly nears the mid-point of its 40-day session.

Meanwhile, on Feb. 11, the state House of Representatives passed on a 99-68 vote an extension of business immunity from tort liability claims based on exposure to COVID-19.
