GA SB292

Domestic corporations with a principal place of business in Georgia that is separate from their registered office must be sued in the county where the principal place of business is located, not just the registered office county

In tort cases where venue is based solely on where the cause of action originated, defendants may remove the case to the county of their principal place of business within 45 days of service

Plaintiffs may challenge removal by filing a motion within 45 days, and the court may remand the case if removal is found improper

Principal place of business determinations cannot be based exclusively on the location of the corporation's registered agent's residence or business office

Effective July 1, 2025, applying to causes of action accruing on or after that date
