Atlanta reports the house rules committee may not advance the game protection bill this session due to priorities like the Tippins prohibition bill and appropriations debate. If blocked, protection efforts shift to the next session. Meanwhile several Georgia counties enacted local three year bans on killing game birds to aid defense against the boll weevil invasion and bolster anti pest measures.
