Georgia Citizens Oppose House Bill 211 and Demand Accountability for Corporate Pollution
Georgia Citizens Oppose House Bill 211 and Demand Accountability for Corporate Pollution
The Issue
Georgia citizens are asking our legislators to vote NO on House Bill 211.
HB 211 expands legal protections for large corporations when pollution or chemical exposure causes harm, while limiting accountability for damages to people, property, land, and water. This bill does not protect individuals. It protects corporate actors from responsibility when their actions cause real harm to Georgia families and communities.
The language of HB 211 is broad and unclear. It grants immunity across a wide range of chemicals and circumstances, even when injury occurs. That vagueness matters. When laws are written this way, the burden often falls on citizens to prove harm while corporations gain new shields against responsibility.
This is not about punishing businesses or individuals acting in good faith. It is about preventing blanket protections for massive polluters at the expense of public health, private property, and local communities. Georgians should not have fewer legal protections when contamination affects their drinking water, soil, air, or health.
We believe accountability is a core civic principle. Those who cause harm should be responsible for it. HB 211 moves Georgia in the opposite direction.
We call on our state legislators to reject HB 211 and stand with the people they represent. Georgia should protect its citizens first, not grant sweeping immunity to corporate pollution.
By signing this petition, you are joining fellow Georgians in asking for transparency, accountability, and common sense in our laws.
