The Georgia Senate and House recently passed SB 63, a bill which adds “cruelty to animals,” as described in O.C.G.A. 16-12-4, to the list of crimes that will require cash bail (instead of ineffective signature bonds) to be released from custody after arrest, including misdemeanors.
Many thanks to Senator Randy Robertson (sponsor) and Senators Matt Brass, Jason Anavitarte, John Kennedy, and Frank Ginn (cosponsors).
