Report Link The Impact of the Georgia Whistleblower Act.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - February 09, 2009 The Georgia Whistleblower Act was enacted in 1993 for the purpose of preventing “fraud, waste, and abuse” in State programs by protecting public employees who make complaints or disclosures of such information from reprisals by their employers. It applied only to the State of Georgia and its agencies, departments, etc. and, as such, was not a source of potential liability for local government employers for more than a decade. Report Link New GA Gun Law Will Impact Employers.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - June 03, 2008 On May 14, 2008, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue signed into law the “Business Security and Employee Privacy Act.” The Act, which becomes effective July 1, 2008, amends existing law regarding the carrying of firearms at public gatherings, and imposes new restrictions on employers regarding the conditioning of employment based upon the possession of a firearm. The Act appears to provide civil remedies for individuals and certain immunities for employers, although the extent of both of these is less than clear. Report Link Georgia Enacts New Gun Law: All Employers Affected.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - May 21, 2008 After years of lobbying by gun rights groups in its favor, and by business associations in opposition, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue signed the "Business Security and Employee Privacy Act" on May 14. This Act expands the areas in which holders of firearm licenses may legally carry concealed weapons – and places some limitations on employers’ rights. Report Link Georgia's New "Parking Lot Law" Permits Employees to Bring Concealed Weapons to the Workplace.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 21, 2008 Over heavy opposition from Georgia employers and advocacy groups, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue has signed into law a bill that allows individuals who lawfully possess a concealed weapon to store it in a locked vehicle in their employer's parking lot. The law, approved on May 14, 2008, dubbed the "parking lot bill," prohibits employers from maintaining or enforcing a policy that bans concealed weapons from company property and significantly limits an employer's right to search private vehicles of employees or invited guests. Report Link Georgia Department of Labor Issues Rules for Compliance with Georgia Immigration Law.Ford & Harrison LLP - December 20, 2007 The Georgia Department of Labor (“DOL”) has issued rules relating to compliance with the requirements of the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act of 2006, O.C.G. A. 13-10-91. As noted in the April 2007 edition of Management Update, this law requires contractors and subcontractors who have contracts with the state of Georgia or any of its agencies to verify the employment eligibility of their employees through a federal work authorization program. Report Link Georgia Implements State-Enforced Immigration Compliance Bill.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - June 26, 2007 On April 17, 2006, the State of Georgia joined the national trend of states passing immigration compliance statues by passing Senate Bill 529, the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act of 2006. SB529 becomes effective July 1, 2007, even though there are many unanswered questions regarding which employers are required to comply with the law. Georgia's law also continues the national trend of confusion around complying with the various state statutes. Employers now have to navigate not only federal law in regards to immigration compliance, but also state statutes that vary from state to state. This additional burden comes on the heels of a new environment of criminal persecution by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
