Were there any changes to the Georgia DUI laws in 2005? Have you heard any news about new laws in 2006?

Answer: The judiciary committee is currently working on new DUI legislation for 2006, and we do not have a final bill yet. They want the cops to be able to draw blood rather than requiring a nurse or medical personnel to draw blood.  In other states where the cops were allowed to draw blood, there are cases where the proper blood drawing procedure was not followed and the accused got aids or hepatitis c from contaminated needles.  Let your representative know that you oppose blood drawing by cops rather than medical personnel.  I will update this answer if the legislature passes the new legislation.
