A new Georgia law will require cash bail for 30 additional crimes, including 18 that are sometimes misdemeanors. Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 63 and nine other new public safety measures.
Opponents said the bill would roll back changes that were passed almost unanimously in 2018 under then-Gov. Nathan Deal. That law allowed judges to release many people accused of misdemeanors without bail.
