  Upon the request of a broadband services provider, the department may decertify a political subdivision as a broadband ready community if such political subdivision fails to act in accordance with the ordinance required for certification under Code Section 50-40-41, modifies such ordinance so that such ordinance no longer complies with subsection (a) of Code Section 50-40-41, or violates any provision of Code Section 50-40-42.   Upon a complaint that an application fee under an ordinance required for certification under Code Section 50-40-41 is unreasonable, the department shall determine whether or not such fee is reasonable.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 50 - State Government|Chapter 40 - Promotion and Deployment of Broadband Services|Article 5 - Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative|§ 50-40-80. Legislative Findings

  The General Assembly recognizes that access to broadband services in today's society is essential to everyday life. Access to broadband services is a necessary service as fundamental as electricity, gas, or phone service. There is a growing need for the government of this state to provide the much needed infrastructure to the homes and businesses without access to broadband services due to their location in rural and other unserved areas. Furthermore, the General Assembly finds and declares that ensuring broadband services deployment will have a positive effect on education, health care, public safety, business and industry, government services, and leisure activities throughout the entire state. The General Assembly also finds and declares that guaranteeing an equitable deployment of broadband services throughout the state is a public necessity, one of the basic functions of government, and a benefit to the entire state. Moreover, the General Assembly finds and declares that it is in the best interest of the state and the persons who live and work in the state to spend state funds through the establishment of a grant program to ensure the creation of a state-wide foundation of broadband services infrastructure in unserved areas of the state.   The General Assembly hereby finds and determines that the economic benefits that will inure to the State of Georgia and designated political subdivisions from the Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative provided for in this article and from the performance by private sector persons and entities of the obligations that they will incur in connection with such Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative, will be equal to or greater than the benefits to be derived by such private sector persons and entities in connection therewith, and that, therefore, the Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative does not violate the prohibition in the Georgia Constitution on the payment by public bodies of gratuities to private sector persons or entities.

GA Code § 51-3-3 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 51 - Torts|Chapter 3 - Liability of Owners and Occupiers of Land|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 51-3-3. Lawful Possessor of Land Owes No Duty of Care to Trespasser

  As used in this Code section, the term "possessor of land" means the landowner, occupant of the land, holder of any easement to the land, or lessee of the land.   A lawful possessor of land owes no duty of care to a trespasser except to refrain from causing a willful or wanton injury.   Georgia common law as it exists and is applied to the doctrine of attractive nuisance, in effect as of January 1, 2014, shall not be construed to be altered by this Code section.   This Code section shall not affect any immunities from or defenses to civil liability to which a lawful possessor of land may be entitled.     (Code 1981, §51-3-3, enacted by Ga. L. 2014, p. 351, § 2/SB 125.)   Editor's notes.   - Ga. L. 2014, p. 351, § 1/SB 125, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: "It is the intent of the General Assembly to codify and preserve Georgia common law regarding the duties owed by possessors of land to trespassers as of January 1, 2014. The General Assembly finds that the provisions of the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law Third, Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm, §§ 50-52 (2012), which seek to impose broad new duties on those who own, occupy, or control premises, including the duty to exercise reasonable care to all trespassers, do not reflect the public policy of the State of Georgia. It is also the intent of the General Assembly to preserve the attractive nuisance doctrine and Georgia common law as it relates to the attractive nuisance doctrine."
