2025 Legislative Victories

HB 123 -  Abolish the death penalty for people with intellectual disabilities (SUPPORT)

In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that executing those with intellectual disabilities was a violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments' protection against cruel and unusual punishment. The court left it up to individual states to develop standards for determining intellectual disability. Sadly, Georgia stands alone among all the states in requiring the highest standard of proof – beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result, individuals with intellectual disabilities have been executed, and others are at risk of being executed in the future. 

HB 428 - In Vitro Fertilization (SUPPORT) 

Codify the right to in vitro fertilization (IVF) for individuals.
