HB 122
Would grant full legal rights and protections to fertilized eggs and embryos, effectively banning all abortions in Georgia and potentially criminalizing some forms of contraception. Stalled in House committee.
HB 147
Requires the Georgia Technology Authority to publish an annual inventory of every AI system used across state agencies, giving the public visibility into how government is deploying artificial intelligence. Advanced through Senate Science & Technology committee in March 2026.
HB 206
Repeals a 1990 War-on-Drugs law that strips financial aid eligibility from students convicted of drug offenses, disproportionately punishing low-income Georgians. Advanced through House Higher Education committee in March 2026.
HB 342
Removes advertising restrictions on licensed medical cannabis dispensaries and operators in Georgia. Withdrawn and recommitted in April 2025—still technically alive in the legislature.

The 'Providing Effective Access to Cannabis for Health' Act would substantially expand Georgia's narrow medical cannabis program to cover more conditions, more patients, and more dispensaries statewide.
HB 441
Seeks to extend state equal protection rights to fetuses, which legal experts say would criminalize abortion at any stage of pregnancy. Stalled in House Judiciary committee since February 2025.
HB 470
Forbids immigration arrests, detentions, and searches at schools, houses of worship, healthcare facilities, and other sensitive community spaces that people depend on regardless of immigration status.
HB 478
Mandates that AI-generated content include a clear disclosure notice—so voters, patients, and consumers know when they're reading or watching something created by a machine, not a person.

Bars police from using the smell of marijuana, cannabis, or hemp as the sole legal basis for stops, searches, arrests, or seizures—targeting a common pretext for unconstitutional policing.

Prohibits healthcare providers and facilities from denying organ transplants to patients based solely on their COVID-19 or other vaccine status. Advanced out of House Health committee in January 2026.

Another measure targeting transgender Georgians through restrictions tied to identity, care, athletics, or public institutional access.
HB 717

HB 804
Would encode into law a blanket pardon for Georgians previously convicted of simple marijuana possession, acknowledging decades of racially biased enforcement by the War on Drugs.

Gives Georgia residents the right to sue civil immigration enforcement officers who violate their constitutional rights during enforcement operations—creating a state-level accountability mechanism federal law does not provide.
HB 1050
Bars local schools and school districts from sharing student data with federal immigration authorities, protecting families from being targeted based on records their children's school holds.
HB 1053
Repeals existing laws requiring Georgia local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities—restoring local jurisdictions' ability to set their own policing priorities without federal coercion.
HB 1242
Limits government vaccine mandates and seeks to protect Georgians' right to refuse vaccinations without losing employment, access to public services, or other benefits. Introduced February 2026.
HB 1248
Comprehensive adult-use cannabis reform bill that would create a legal, regulated, and taxed cannabis market in Georgia—moving the state away from prohibition and into evidence-based policy.
HB 1313
Shields healthcare professionals from criminal liability when providing medically necessary treatment to pregnant women—a direct response to the chilling effect Georgia's 6-week abortion ban has had on OB-GYN care.
HB 1399
The 'Likeness, Expression, Generative AI, and Commercial Yield' Act protects Georgians from having their voice or image replicated by AI without consent—a crucial safeguard as deepfakes become weaponized in politics.
HB 1401

Creates legal liability for harmful AI-generated content. The House and Senate each passed different versions—the chambers are actively negotiating a final version as of early 2026.

Would have stripped gender-affirming healthcare coverage from Georgia state employee health plans. Withdrawn and recommitted in April 2025 but could return—a continued threat to trans Georgians' medical care.

SB 517
Imposes a two-year moratorium on new immigration detention facilities in Georgia, halting the rapid expansion of the federal detention footprint at taxpayer expense.
