1 min read

The Act includes various amendments to Georgia’s Judicial and Criminal Codes. Two changes are most notable. First, the Act permits the vacating of sentences for victims of human trafficking who were convicted under Article 3 of Chapter 8 of Title 42— Georgia’s first offender statute. Second, the Act provides enhanced privacy for these victims by restricting access to their criminal history relating to the offense.
