HR 449 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House Study Committee on Modernization of the Traffic Violations Bureau; create

This resolution creates a House Study Committee to examine the state's Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) system. The committee will study concerns that the current TVB system - allowing drivers to pay fines without court appearances - may let dangerous offenders avoid accountability, deny victims the right to make impact statements, and potentially be unconstitutional due to outdated procedures. The committee, composed of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement, and court officials, will assess these issues and recommend modernization changes. The committee will operate until December 1, 2025, but the resolution itself does not change any laws.
