New Georgia State Laws for Alcohol and Crime | Atlanta & Douglasville DUI Accident Lawyer

There are new Georgia state laws that will be in effect beginning July 1, 2009, involving alcohol, crime, health and schools.

The new laws for alcohol include Georgia residents being able to take home unfinished bottles of wine they ordered with their meals at restaurants. Also, residents of Georgia may go online and purchase up to twelve cases of wine a year directly from the wineries, and limousine drivers may sell cocktails to their customers.

The new laws for crime state that sex offenders have new limits on where they may live, work and volunteer. If one commits his or her fourth DUI offense within a ten year period, it is considered a felony. If drivers decide to drive without a license four or more times within five years, it is considered a felony.

Later down the road, DNA collected in investigations will be allowed to be compared to databases in other states.
