    House of Representatives JON BURNS MAJORITY LEADER ROOM 338, STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30334 December 4, 2020 SENT VIA EMAIL: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Chairperson of the State Election Board Mrs. Rebecca N. Sullivan Vice-Chairperson of the State Election Board Dear Secretary Raffensperger and Mrs. Sullivan, As I am sure you have seen over the past month, many Georgians, including my colleagues who have signed this correspondence, have serious concerns about Georgia’s elections. As we approach a critical election on January 5, 2021, it is clear that Georgia voters must have confidence in the election process going forward. To that end, below you will find two common-sense suggestions: a rule that should be promulgated by the State Election Board (the “SEB”) and additional resources of which the Office of the Secretary of State (the “SOS”) or the SEB could take advantage. I. Absentee Ballot Application and Mail-In Absentee Ballot Signature Review Process. As the process currently stands, when a voter wishes to vote early by mail, they submit an Absentee Ballot Application (“Application”) either through the mail or online. When a local Board of Registrars (the “BOR”) receives a paper Application, typically, a single employee of the BOR is responsible for the initial review of a signature on a paper Application. If that paper Application is accepted, the BOR mails an Absentee Ballot to the voter. The process for reviewing signatures on the external envelope of a returned Absentee Ballot is the same – a single employee of the BOR is allowed to “approve” a signature without oversight by other employees or independent observers.

Please contact the principals above to learn more about the services of the firm. Weekly Legislative Report # 7 Week Ending February 28, 2020 Seniors Protection Bill Clears House Following a series of horror-ridden experiences detailed in an expansive series of stories by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a bill to tighten state oversight of senior care facilities in Georgia passed the full House last week. HB 918 (Sharon Cooper-R) required some wrangling in the early going, but sailed through once the details were ironed out. The bill requires numerous changes including: 1) Higher staff-to-resident ratio required in Personal Care Homes; 2) RNs or LPNs required in assisted living communities for a minimum number of hours weekly; 3) Increased fines for neglect, abuse and death from poor care; 4) Administrators must pass a test and be licensed; 5) Disclosure of financial information and notification if a facility is facing ownership change or bankruptcy. In a related development, Gov. Brian Kemp has directed Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) programs at Georgia colleges be added to the list that offer free tuition because of the shortage of such skilled workers available for employment. Breast Milk/Nursing Privacy The Senate Labor and Insurance Committee approved SB 327 (Zahra Karinshak-D) that modifies the requirement for businesses to provide break time and a private location for an employee who needs to express milk for her nursing child.

Please contact the principals above to learn more about the services of the firm. Weekly Legislative Report # 8 Week Ending March 6, 2020 No Silver Bullet -- Tort Reform Battle Complex issues such as tort reform can seldom be resolved with a single bullet. At the behest of business interests and insurance companies, numerous legislative shots are being fired in an effort to curb huge jury awards in civil cases. Ironically, plaintiffs’ attorneys have recently found themselves having to play defense during legislative debates. The Senate Insurance and Labor Cmte has approved SB 415 by Sen. Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega) that addresses liability, trucking lawsuits, seat belt use admissibility in civil cases, asbestos litigation and truth in medical damages. Gooch also sponsored SB 390, a similar bill, but it’s stuck in the decidedly unfriendly Judiciary Cmte. The full Senate has passed SB 374 by John Kennedy (R-Macon) that deals with reasonable parameters for settlement demand letters. Rep. Tom McCall (R-Elberton) dropped HB 1089 in the hopper last week. Along with allowing defense attorneys to introduce evidence that a plaintiff who was not wearing a seat belt contributed to the severity of their own injuries, this bill would require separate trials to determine guilt and assess damages in cases seeking more than $150,000. Speaker David Ralston (R-Blueridge) has created the Special Committee on Access to the Civil Justice System chaired by Rep.
