Current legislation in the works

Currently, Emory is working on a Constitutional Carry Bill, Fair Tax Bill, and a bill that would guide insurance companies in fair and equitable claims for their customers.  The Constitutional Carry Bill and Fair Tax have seen a flurry of interest from current candidates up for election that should help move it along where is has been a little stagnated in the system.  He is excited that this topic is being addressed by candidates for Lt. Governor and Governor.  The right to bear arms to protect one and one's family is a constitutional right for all Georgians.  While carry permits are encouraged, they are not required for home ownership.  Those with ill intentions have no regard for our laws or permits and will not be bothered to comply as seen in the daily news.  Criminals do not go through legal channels to procure weapons and bypass our legal processes in place.  Hopefully a good bill (not a weak, watered down version with no teeth) will come out of the legislature regarding this issue in 2022.

FAIR TAX BILL

This bill has been in the works for several years but has failed to become law due to lack of support from key leadership that would support it.  Fears of failure to meet the needed budget funds as it currently stands (it is not understood properly), ill effects on those who are less fortunate, and the many exemptions that would be removed for key players throughout our state have been roadblocks.  This is a BROADBASE COMSUMPTION TAX that that replaces all exemptions and offers a pre-bate to those at designated income levels.  Hopefully, with the renewed interest in this topic, some form of a reduced or elimination of state sales tax should be passed this session.

INSURANCE BILL

Emory has fought for several constituents on insurance claims that were not settled in a timely or fair fashion after being in good standing with their companies.  This bill addresses several problems that have become roadblocks for the consumer in settling claims would see these issues resolved in a fair and timely process.  Hopefully, this bill will go through the legislative process this year and help consumers as a result.

Bills that Emory would like to see move forward this session are the Girls Sports Bill that prohibits boys who identify as girls competing unfairly in girls sports.  This was placed on the back burner last session and is grossly unfair to females who have worked hard to excel in their sports.  Boys who were not successful in male sports can dominate females and this should not be allowed here in Georgia.  After all the Title IX accomplished for female athletes, this is a terrible setback for female sports. 

Another hot topic is what agendas are being taught by public schools that amount to endoctrination and not education.  Although the State School Board has banned teaching of such material, it is available in almost every county and is in many, many school resources available to our children.  Anti-American sentiments, oppression, racism, equity, and justice are being pushed under different agendas and need to be recognized by parents and the general public alike and stopped before grave damage is done to our children without parental consent
