HR 1371 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House Study Committee on Code Revisions for Autonomous Vehicles; create

This resolution creates a seven-member House committee to study how Georgia's vehicle laws apply to self-driving cars. The committee, appointed by the Speaker with input from specific committee chairs, will examine current traffic rules, safety standards, and liability issues related to autonomous vehicles, and recommend code revisions. It must complete its work and submit findings by December 2026, but cannot pass new laws itself. This affects future legislative decisions on autonomous vehicle regulations, not the public directly. The committee's role is strictly advisory, focusing on updating legal frameworks to ensure safety as self-driving technology advances.
