Georgia Governor Kemp signs bill giving power to remove local prosecutors.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed a bill establishing the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission (PACQ) with the power to remove local prosecutors who "refuse to uphold the law." The commission will launch on July 1 and can start accepting complaints about prosecutors on Oct. 1. The law is one of several efforts that some Republicans throughout the country have taken to go after Democratic and liberal-leaning prosecutors whom they have accused of being soft on crime and declining to prosecute certain crimes.
