LC 45 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise venue laws for cases challenging constitutionality of recent laws

This bill changes where legal cases can be filed when someone claims a recently passed law is unconstitutional. It requires that such cases be heard in the county where the primary sponsor of the challenged law represents, rather than following standard venue rules. The law applies to lawsuits filed within two years of when the statute was enacted or amended. This change affects individuals and organizations challenging state laws, as well as courts determining the proper location for these trials.
