February 3, 2012
House Bill 683 to amend Chapter 4 of Title 18 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Wendell Willard, passed the House on January 24th in a 150-20 vote and sailed through the Senate by a unanimous 52-0 margin. The legislation amends the code so an entity, such as a bank or corporation, is a garnishee in a garnished proceeding. This will allow entities to execute, file an answer, and make payment without an attorney. The legislation now heads to Governor's office for his signature.

Albany Herald Ask David E. Hudson to Weigh in on Unusual Closed Session Meeting
January 5, 2011
The Albany Herald Newspaper called on David E. Hudson to offer his view on if Dougherty County School Board violated the state's sunshine laws after going into a closed executive session. “To close a meeting, there has to be a vote to do so,” Hudson responded. “Assuming that happened, all that is allowed for a closed session on personnel is for the board members to ‘discuss and deliberate’ on the personnel matters. Allowing others in to give information and to participate is beyond what is permitted in a closed session for personnel.”
