A Feb. 17 report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Georgia senators are seeking to pass a law that would prohibit local governments from banning gas-powered outdoor power equipment.

"State Sen. Shawn Still, representing Johns Creek, is the lead sponsor of Senate Bill 145, the Landscape Equipment and Agricultural Fairness, or LEAF Act, which would outlaw regulations that treat gas-powered leaf blowers differently than other, similar tools," the article said.

The report stated it could not find records of previous local bans on gas-powered equipment in Georgia.
