This resolution creates a joint study<br> committee on cyber-security legislation and is to be empaneled in the<br> Spring and Summer of 2018, with a final report due by December 1st,<br> 2018, which could recommend future legislation for the 2019 legislative<br> season.<br> <br> At this point, Electronic Frontiers Georgia believes that as a result of<br> the resolution above, all progress with Senate Bill 315 (a.k.a. SB 315)<br> has stopped, and the bill is effectively dead in its current form.<br> <br> Electronic Frontiers Georgia wishes to give thanks to everyone who<br> participated in the mass expression of concern over this bill.<br> Everything helped, from visits to the Capitol and in-person visits to<br> legislators, to phone calls, emails, articles, and even retweets. The<br> single most important thing in stopping this bill was everything!<br> <br> Electronic Frontiers Georgia will be watching over the final 10 or so<br> days of the 2018 legislative season for any developments, or<br> re-emergence of anything like SB 315, but at this point, we believe it<br> will not advance further. It is no longer necessary to contact members<br> of the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee, but it is always a good idea<br> to contact your own legislators and let them know of your concerns.<br> <br> SR 929 states, "In addition, the Speaker of the House of Representatives<br> shall appoint a citizen member of the committee who is knowledgeable in<br> the area of cyber security and cyber security policy." We are hopeful<br> for a truly influential thought leader with a Georgia connection to fill<br> this role. If you have any suggestions please contact us via our About<br> Us page.<br> <br> Once again, we thank everyone who played a role in achieving this<br> result. The price of freedom truly is eternal vigilance.<br> <br> R.I.P. SB 315, b. 2017, d. 2018<br></blockquote><hr><br>Ale mailing list<br>Ale@ale.org<br><a href="https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale">https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale</a><br>See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at<br><a href="http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo">http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo</a><br></pre></blockquote></div><br>
