GA HB1159

Codifies Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (Insurrection Clause) into Georgia state law, barring from nomination or election any person who previously took an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and subsequently engaged in insurrection or rebellion, unless Congress has removed the disability by a two-thirds vote of each chamber.

Prohibits election superintendents, political parties, and political bodies from qualifying as a candidate or listing on any ballot any person disqualified under the Insurrection Clause.

Bars from nomination or election any person who participated in or certified documentation relating to the selection or casting of votes by presidential electors in violation of Georgia election law or federal law (Chapter 1 of Title 3, U.S. Code).

Adds two new grounds for automatic vacation of state office: disqualification under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, or engaging in activities that could result in being defined as a "subversive person" under Georgia's Sedition and Subversive Activities Act of 1953.

Officially titled the "Oath Act," sponsored by Representatives Jackson, Bruce, Holly, Clark, and Reese, and amends both Chapter 2 of Title 21 (elections) and Chapter 5 of Title 45 (vacation of office) of the Official Code of Georgia.
