GA SB204

District attorneys may charge most felonies by accusation rather than grand jury indictment, except for serious violent felonies, sexual felonies, and violations of RICO, criminal street gang, or firearms preemption laws

Lawful weapons carriers may sue government entities that violate state firearms preemption laws, recovering either actual damages or $25,000 (whichever is greater) plus attorney's fees, or liquidated damages of three times litigation expenses

Local governments remain prohibited from regulating gun shows, firearms possession, ownership, transport, carrying, transfer, sale, purchase, licensing, storage, or registration

Actions challenging local weapons regulations must be filed within one year of enforcement in the superior court of the county where the violation occurred

Counties and municipalities may still regulate firearms discharge within their boundaries and regulate weapons possession by their own employees and volunteers
