These are the House and Senate Bills that are dealing with sex offenders and ATM safety respectively:

http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2005_06/fulltext/hb1059.htm       HB1059

http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2005_06/fulltext/hb1059.htm       SB379

We need your help in contacting your local congressman in support of these two bills. The ATM Safety Bill is experiencing the most objections and the objections are coming from the Georgia Banker's Association. Joe Brannen is the head of the GA Banker's Association and he is the main person who is offering up these objections. Senator John Wiles is the senator who is trying to introduce the ATM Safety Bill, but the bill is stalled in committee for now because the legislators must arrange a meeting between the Banker's Association's computer technology experts and a third party computer expert to determine if the upgraded software required to operate the Emergency Safety Pin is a feasible upgrade. All of the computer experts contacted by the Emergency Safety Pin experts say that it is an easy upgrade, but the Banking Associations are claiming that it cannot be done.

There is also going to be a second bill introduced by Senator Wiles and this bill will mandate that Georgia Banks install 911 buttons on all ATM machines. The importance of the 911 button is that it will deter crime at a drive-through and walk-up ATM. A 911 button can be used if a person sees that he is danger and he can call for help BEFORE being robbed or harmed. Also, if a person is fortunate enough to be left at the ATM machine AFTER being robbed, he now would have a means of calling for help immediately. The 911 button's most beneficial function would be to act as a deterrent. The Emergency Safety Pin's most beneficial function is to give a person a way to call for help DURING a transaction, especially if that person was forced to an ATM to make a transaction. Also, once word spreads into the criminal world that this technology is available and being used, it will be a major deterrent to any future ATM violence.
