Why it matters: New laws affecting oral health, courtroom transcripts and politicians behaving badly are now in effect.
Here are a few:
🌪️ Disaster recovery: Georgians can now put cash into a special savings account to pay for repairs and recovery after natural disasters.
🕵️♀️ Politics and ethics: The Georgia Ethics Commission can not initiate an investigation against candidates or campaigns within 60 days of an election.
The changes also allow the subject of the complaint to have an opportunity to review the claims before the accusation is made public.
🇺🇸 License plates: Georgians can now apply for "America First" license plates.
🦷 Teledentistry: Dentists can now consult with patients virtually instead of in-person.
The practice, which insurance companies can also now cover, according to the law, could make dental care more accessible for people in rural areas.
