A bill (H.B. 192) has been introduced in the Georgia legislature by Rep.
Bobby Parham that would ban ANY vehicle whose suspension was altered more
than two inches above or below the factory recommendation. Previously, this
law only applied to private passenger cars - not trucks. The bill also
requires lenses on taillights to meet federal standards and not be "covered
or consist of anything other than reflective material installed as original
factory equipment or its equivalent replacement."


o H.B. 192 would ban reasonably altered vehicles due to overstated concerns
with bumper mismatch.

o H.B. 192 discriminates against hobbyists and aftermarket parts makers by
leaving it solely to the vehicle manufacturers to choose vehicle heights.

o H.B. 192 would force owners of modified vehicles to spend large sums of
money to reinstall original components.

o H.B. 192 would ban useful alterations that provide adequate clearance for
on/off road capability and accommodate heavy loads, larger tires, improved
suspension and water-fording capability.

o H.B. 192 would ban taillamp covers even when the lamps are not in use.
