§ 24-13-29 [Legislative Privilege from Testimony]

Georgia lawmakers cannot be forced to testify in court or at hearings while the state legislature is in session. This applies to both regular sessions and any special sessions called by the governor.

If you are involved in a case that needs a Georgia legislator as a witness, you may have to wait until the legislative session ends before you can compel them to appear. This rule gives lawmakers protection from being pulled away from their official duties to deal with court matters.
