Supreme Court Decisions that have affected the State of Georgia
The state of Georgia has had many far reaching racial discrimination cases that went up to the Supreme Court. This is due to the long history the state has had with racial discrimination. Over the years there have been many important decisions that stemmed from beatings and murders that emanated from a racially motivated perspective (Schultz, 2005). The Supreme Court case of Heart of Atlanta Motel (1964) upheld provisions of the public in the Civil Rights Act (1964) accommodations that barred all the state imposed racial discrimination on African Americans. Though the vice continued unabated privately it provided liberties for the African Americans and enabled them at least according to the law to be able to get services from all restaurants, motels and hotels. The law basically was deemed to affect the movement of goods across state lines and thus it was necessary to remove these impediments that had received wide ranging condemnation (Schultz, 2005). When the law was eventually enforced also led to the all overt forms of racial discrimination and profiling that had been prevalent before the passing of the law. This led to the enormous economic growth that is seen in the South and the so-called emergence of the New South.

There three types of committees in the Georgia state senate and these are the standing, study and conference committees. The standing committees are established to take care of the management of the house of representative and senate business.
The study committees are appointed to perform particular tasks or to examine a particular issue. Lastly the conference committees are formed to reconcile differences that emanate from the legislative process of the two houses.
The Ethics committee led by Dean Burke passed legislation on the restricted access communities as precinct boundaries and polling places. This allowed the boundaries of residential communities to be precinct boundaries. It also required them to be open for polling centers in the event of an election.
