Governor Vetoes Georgia Crime Scene Clean-up Bill
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp vetoed Senate Bill 153, which would have regulated the crime scene cleanup industry through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Under the bill, companies performing crime scene cleanup in Georgia would have been required to register, carry proper insurance, and employ technicians that were background checked, fingerprinted and drug screened. Kemp said he vetoed the bill because it had not received adequate review and fiscal analysis. The Georgia Occupational Regulation Review Council must review and approve all new occupational regulations in the state, he added.
