"What we've done is create new code in the Georgia law that, in a nutshell, says, if you're squatting in a home, and you do not have the consent or legal authority to be in it, you'll be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor of a highly aggravated nature. You'll be fined, and you may spend up to a year behind bars," he said.

But will they enforce it? Will the local law begin to truly take this seriously?

This is a start. We need this in other areas too. Especially Florida and California.

There are plenty of crazies in the world, so we'll just have to see if this bill is effective enough.
