GA HB1407

Amends Georgia's Civil Practice Act to require civil cases (excluding divorce/domestic relations) to have all dispositive motions ruled on or deadlines passed before appearing on a trial calendar

Limits trial calendars to maximum 30 actions and three-week trial periods, with calendars filed and served at least 120 days before the court session

Requires pretrial conferences at least 14 days before trial if requested by any party, with automatic continuance if the judge has not ruled on all pretrial motions by that time

Mandates parties file a joint report within 14 days of receiving the trial calendar detailing witness locations, case complexity, estimated trial length, and settlement likelihood

Provides automatic continuances when all parties consent (filed at least 14 days before trial) or when an attorney has multiple actions on the same or overlapping trial calendars
