Senate scooter committee convenes as Athens extends moratorium

The state Senate Committee that is looking at possible legislation governing so-called E-scooters holds another meeting today in Atlanta. Lumpkin County Republican Steve Gooch chairs the study panel that could introduce bills when the new General Assembly convenes in January.  The Athens-Clarke County Commission last year imposed a 12-month moratorium on the scooters in Athens, a ban that was extended by Commissioners earlier this year.
