Governor Kemp announces Legislation to combat Reckless Street Racing

On Friday, February 19, 2021, Governor Kemp announced his administration’s introduction of H.B 534, a bill to combat dangerous street racing in Georgia. Governor Kemp was joined by law enforcement officers along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers in support of the legislation.  “In recent months, we have watched in horror as crime has skyrocketed in our capital city. Our brave law enforcement officers have worked tirelessly to contain the lawlessness, protect the communities they serve and keep Georgians safe,” said Governor Kemp. “Today, I am proposing legislation to crack down on street racing by toughening penalties for offenders and holding those who promote these criminal activities responsible. In Georgia, we will not tolerate this reckless, illegal behavior.”
