A class action lawsuit was filed on June 20, 2006 in U.S. District Court challenging HB 1059, the Georgia sex offender legislation passed in 2006 by the General Assembly. The named Defendants include Governor Sonny Perdue, Attorney General Thurbert Baker, and Polk County law enforcement officials.
Lawyers from the Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia are seeking a Temporary Restraining Order to stop state and local entities from enforcing the 1,000 feet restrictions from school bus stops on and after its July 1, 2006 effective date.
This afternoon, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper ruled that the Temporary Restraining Order applies to everyone on the registry.
