Whitfield County has participated in the 287(g) program since 2009, enabling local sheriffs to act as immigration enforcement agents. The passage of HB 1105 last year effectively turned the entire state into a 287(g) jurisdiction.

HB 399 would require that certain information regarding the property managers of certain properties is provided upon request of a code enforcement officer. The bill would also require certain residential landlords to have in-state staff to manage tenant communications related to such properties. #gapol #gasenate

Glad to see some $$ for housing added back into the FY 2026 state budget:
- $175K to address homelessness in Atlanta
- $750K for Georgia Stable Housing Accountability Program
- $2M in one-time funds for the State Housing Trust Fund
- $500K for special housing assistance programs

The state budget just got out of conference committee, and we are celebrating a few things, like an opportunity weight that is currently back in the budget, and wary of a few things, like vouchers that take money away from public schools. tiktok.com/@gabudget/video/7…
