Overhauling Georgia’s civil litigation system was a top priority for the governor this past legislative session.
The Metro Atlanta Chamber applauds Governor Brian Kemp for signing Georgia’s tort reform package into law – a milestone that marks a decisive step towards a more balanced legal system that supports innovation, job creation and economic growth. Georgia is in a new era of opportunity and fairness for our state’s business community.
Signing these bills into law supports the full spectrum of Georgia’s business community – from local entrepreneurs to globally recognized brands. Certainty and predictability are essential pillars of a thriving business environment, and this action reaffirms Georgia’s commitment to pro-growth leadership and our position as the No. 1 state for business.
The Metro Atlanta Chamber stands ready to work with our investors, partners and policy makers to ensure smooth implementation as this legislation takes effect. These important measures will keep Georgia at the forefront of business excellence and opportunity.
We extend our gratitude to Governor Brian Kemp, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Speaker Jon Burns, Senate President Pro Tem John Kennedy, Majority Caucus Whip James Burchett, and all members of the Georgia General Assembly who worked tirelessly to advance this landmark legislation. We also thank our business community, coalition partners, and advocates whose persistent support and collaboration were instrumental in making this achievement possible. This signing sends a clear message: Georgia is taking decisive steps to ensure that we remain the top state for business, and that we remain committed to being a global center for growth and innovation.
