General GIADA Legislative Policies

GIADA supports legislative changes that improve and enhance the dealer licensing process and promote honesty and fair dealing while protecting Georgia dealers from unfair competition from unlicensed individuals. 

GIADA opposes unnecessary regulation that creates paperwork and manpower burdens on law-abiding dealers without providing corresponding benefits to the industry and the public.

GIADA supports measures that enhance government efficiency and maximize benefits to Georgia citizens and the industry at the lowest cost.

GIADA supports measures that increase enforcement efforts against those who operate in the industry illegally, unlicensed, and who defraud dealers and the public.

GIADA supports measures that increase enforcement of current laws.

GIADA opposes any measure that would impede the ability of a dealer to opperate a lawful business while providing affordable and reliable transportation to hard working Georgian's who otherwise may not be able to obtain transportation to go back and forth to work. 

GIADA supports any measure that encourages the American system of free enterprise.
