Overview
This bill changes how local governments in Georgia can abolish a police force. Currently, a local government can disband a police department with a simple vote. This legislation requires the local government to first pass a resolution or ordinance and then hold a voter referendum before a police force created through a specific process can be dissolved. This aims to provide greater public input and oversight in decisions about local law enforcement.
