www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com State Rep. Shelly Hutchinson, D-Snellville, has authored House Bill 1212, which would prohibit confederate monuments, as well as statues of individuals who advocated for slavery, from being displayed on public property — except in Civil War battlefields and museums.
The bill's filing comes one year after the Georgia General Assembly passed legislation to protect those same monuments.
"These statues are not relics that the General Assembly has forgotten about — there is a statue to a Ku Klux Klan leader right outside the Gold Dome," Hutchinson said in a statement. "Just last year, Senate Bill 77 passed into law, providing confederate monuments with even more protections than they had already. Georgia has done a better job protecting these racist statues than it has protecting the lives of its citizens."
