Greater Georgia announced on X that it promoted an event in Macon featuring President Pro Tem John F. Kennedy to discuss how Georgia's recent tort reform legislation will lower costs for families and businesses.
According to Greater Georgia, the Macon breakfast event is part of its Statewide Education Tour aimed at informing citizens about the implications of Georgia's recent tort reform legislation. The event, featuring President Pro Tem John F.

Greater Georgia emphasizes the importance of community engagement in understanding and supporting these legislative reforms.
Senate Bill 68, signed into law on April 21, 2025, introduces significant changes to Georgia's civil litigation system. According to the Governor's office, the bill aims to level the playing field in courtrooms, stabilize insurance costs, and increase transparency and fairness in legal proceedings. Key provisions include reforms to negligent security liability and the apportionment of fault in civil cases.
Senate Bill 69 complements SB 68 by addressing third-party litigation financing. As reported by the Georgia Senate Press Office, the bill requires litigation financiers to register with the state and bans foreign-affiliated financiers from operating in Georgia. These measures are designed to protect consumers from predatory practices and ensure the integrity of the state's legal system.
