Financial burden of some small utilities on families struggling with costly illnesses; Civil and human rights groups call SB63 “regressive”
Georgia requires some utility companies to hold off on disconnections for customers dealing with serious and costly illnesses. However, many small electric providers are not required to adhere to that policy. A new ProPublica investigation looks at the impact of not having this regulation in place. Rose talks with ProPublica reporters Aliyya Swaby and Max Blau about their report.
Plus, Senate Bill 63 awaits Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's signature, but civil and human rights groups are calling the legislation "regressive." They say its expansion of cash bail and extreme limits on bail funds hosted by charities, individuals, and organizations could lead to jail overcrowding. Tiffany Roberts, a public policy director at the Southern Center for Human Rights, discusses her organization’s concerns.
