The Metro Atlanta Chamber celebrates the final passage of Governor Kemp’s tort reform legislation—Senate Bill 68—by the Georgia General Assembly. This marks a significant step toward strengthening Georgia’s business climate and ensuring our state remains the best place to do business.   “MAC is committed to fostering a robust, growing economy across our region. Governor Kemp’s legislation creates a more balanced and predictable legal environment for businesses of all sizes," said MAC President and CEO Katie Kirkpatrick. "These reforms establish a level playing field in the courtroom, encouraging job creation, business expansion, and the recruitment of new companies to Georgia. This balanced approach promotes stability and predictability in the legal system while ensuring access to the courts is protected and responsible businesses are safeguarded from excessive jury verdicts."   “We extend our sincere appreciation to Governor Brian Kemp, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Speaker Jon Burns, Senate President Pro Tem John Kennedy, House Majority Whip James Burchett, Chairman Rob Leverett and members of the Georgia General Assembly for their leadership and commitment to enacting these critical reforms.”
