Georgia’s latest legislative attempt to oversee and discipline locally elected district attorneys was signed by Gov. Brian Kemp on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 332 attempts to implement rules and procedures for the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission (PACQ), an agency created last year by the GOP-led state legislature that, Kemp said, would ensure DAs and solicitors-general “fulfill their constitutional and statutory duties.”
