More than 400 new laws take effect in Georgia today.
One is the controversial new gun measure. This allows Georgians with carry permits to bring firearms into restaurants serving alcohol, onto public transportation, and into state parks.
Other laws now on the books include:
- Wine can now be bought from wineries directly over the Internet and by phone. Partially finished bottles of wine can now be taken home from restaurants.
- Sex offenders are now prohibited from volunteering at churches
- Tougher measures on those driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Now, a fourth DUI offense in 10 years brings a felony charge. Georgia was one of five states that did not have a law making four DUI offenses a felony.
