On May 14th, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp officially signed Senate Bill 213 into law. This law, based in large part upon CIAA’s Model Statute and the result of CIAA’s efforts, makes it illegal for a person to sell or advertise commercial cheating services in Georgia. The law is enforced by the Georgia Attorney General and is a critical advancement in the fight against commercial cheating. For more information see the full text of the bill below.
On March 31, the SB 213, passed the Georgia House by a vote of 155-7. The next step is for SB 213 to go to Governor Kemp signature into law. Contact Senator Kay Kirkpatrick to show your support (Kay.Kirkpatrick@senate.ga.gov).
Previously, the Georgia House Committee approved SB 213. The bill passed both the House Regulated Industries Regulatory Subcommittee and the full Committee unanimously and will now go to the House Rules Committee where it can be pulled to the floor for a full vote in the House.
Prior to that, Georgia Senate Bill 213 was approved by a vote of 53-1 on March 6, 2025. The legislation, introduced by Senator Kay Kirkpatrick with 10 co-sponsors, is based on the CIAA model to ban commercial cheating services that target students and examinees seeking a professional license as an unlawful, unfair, and deceptive trade practice.
