Exemptions to the statewide ban are granted to bars and restaurants where admittance is denied to those under 18 years of age, retail tobacco shops, designated hotel\/motel rooms, private clubs, and designated areas in healthcare facilities. The Georgia Smoke Free Air Act became law on 7\/1\/ 2005 and requires posting of signs enforcing the law at various locations. (290-5-61-.03) (31-12a-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimming Pool Signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chapter 290-5-57 of the Rules of the Department of Public Health stipulates the rules governing the use of public swimming pools, spas, and recreational slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concealed Weapon Signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The State of Georgia allows residents of the state to carry a concealed firearm (CCW) provided they have been issued a permit granted by the county in which they reside. An applicant for a permit must be at least 21 years old, has not been convicted of a felony, and has completed an approved firearm training course. There are certain places such as court rooms, government buildings, churches, correctional facilities, etc. where CCW is forbidden even with a permit. Georgia honors the CCW permits of a number of other states. (O.C.G.A.16-11-129) (O.C.G.A.16-11-126 &amp; 127)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cell Phone Signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgia bans the use of all hand-held electronic wireless communication devices for texting by all drivers of motorized vehicles. Drivers under the age of 18 and school bus drivers are forbidden from using cell phones for any type of communication. Senate bill SB 360 went into effect on 7\/1\/2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby Surrender Signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the first baby surrender (safe-haven) law was enacted in Texas in 1999, all U.S. states, as well as the District of Columbia, have passed safe-haven legislation. The laws allow an unharmed infant to be relinquished to the proper authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Georgia State-Specific Signs Compliance &ndash; Resource Bulletin will help you understand a variety of signage rules, regulations and requirements enacted in the state.
