    The bill specifically would prohibit prosecutions on racketeering charges in cases in which the indictment accuses someone of violating the following charges:

    • Forgery in violation of Code Section 16-9-1
    • The Georgia Computer Systems Protection Ac in violation of Article 6 of Chapter 9
    • Violation of oath by a public officer in violation of Code Section 16-10-1
    • False statements and writings or false lien statements against public officers in violation of Code Section 16-10-20 or 16-10-20.1
    • Conspiracy to defraud state or political subdivisions in violation of Code Section 16-10-21
    • Impersonating a public officer or employee in violation of Code Section 17-10-23
    • Influencing a witness in violation of Code Section 16-10-93
    • Interference with primaries and elections in violation of Code Section 21-2-566
    • Unlawful possession with primaries and elections in violation of Code Section 21-2-574
    • Conspiracy to commit election fraud in violation Code Section 21-2-603

    No more racketeering charges for racketeers, you say?
