Six common-sense proposals to protect Georgia consumers and families.
Automated surveillance cameras — license plate readers, AI tracking cameras, and facial recognition systems — are being deployed across Georgia with no law governing how the data is secured, how long it is kept, or who can access it.
The Ask
Require mandatory cybersecurity certification for all surveillance vendors before contracting with Georgia agencies
Georgia law already gives consumers the right to cancel a contract signed at their home within three business days — but courts have allowed companies to enforce those contracts even when they failed to follow the law.
The Ask
Make any contract formed in violation of the Door-to-Door Sales Act automatically void
Georgia car buyers routinely pay $500–2,500 in fees they never knew about until they were at the signing table.
The Ask
Require dealers to provide an itemized pre-contract disclosure form before any signing
Federal law requires that consumer financing contracts include language preserving the borrower's right to raise defenses against the lender if the seller defrauded them.
The Ask
Codify that when the required notice is missing, it is deemed included by operation of law

The Ask
Create a centralized, publicly searchable statewide DBA registry at the Secretary of State
