Summary

The bill adds new eligibility rules that prevent anyone who owns or controls a significant stake in a business that does business with the state from serving as Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State School Superintendent, or the Commissioners of Agriculture, Labor, and Insurance. It also bans those officials and their families from buying, selling, or leasing property or services for the state, with limited exceptions for competitive bids and low‑value transactions. The goal is to reduce conflicts of interest in Georgia’s highest‑level government positions.
