there may or may not be a better way to keep bots off the site (that is not my dept), but calling it "protecting our community" is misuse of the word protect
u have to sign in to watch youtube now, "This helps protect our community"? lol

this is considered slick and smart by those who do it
a bill is supposed to pass one chamber or another by last friday or it's dead for the year
but they're not defining that by the content of the bill, only its number
so if you have a live number, you can stuff any language you want in it and that language counts as alive
it's called a "vehicle" because legislators are pulling contents out of it and substituting their own contents as the bill keeps rolling down the road
it's to get around the crossover day deadline. A live vehicle can have contents of a dead bill put into it
HB 165 is "a vehicle." the intro is about repealing a tax credit on leased vehicles. It never was that, but did waive taxes on some stuff for affordable housing
then it became something about disaster losses
it'ss now a tax break on manufactured homes

it always amazes me when the georgia legislature or candidates say they're doing some new law to crack down on sex trafficking
has the state previously been soft on sex trafficking? or is this campaigning ?? π€π§
