House Bill 533.

This bill is much like H.B. 691. The text is below and you can click here to see it on the GA General assembly website. It was read a second time in the House back in February of 2001, but there has been no action on it since then - it is probably dead.

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT

To amend Code Section 16-11-129 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to licenses to carry pistols or revolvers and temporary renewal permits, so as to redefine "convicted" for purposes of certain licensing exceptions; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
