State Senator Kim Jackson has announced a press conference to introduce new legislation that would allow gun violence victims to terminate their residential leases early without penalties. The policy is intended to help survivors relocate as part of their recovery process.

According to the Georgia State Senate Press Office, the press conference is scheduled for today at 11:30 a.m. on the south steps of the Georgia State Capitol. Advocates say the legislation would provide support for individuals seeking to relocate after experiencing gun violence.

The press conference is open to the public, and media outlets wishing to attend have been asked to confirm their attendance via the Senate’s provided email address.
