Georgia was among 45 states and the District of Columbia that enacted 437 laws and resolutions related to immigration last year, according to a new report by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
That is up 64 percent from the 267 laws and resolutions passed in 2012.
Last year, Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law Senate Bill 160, which is aimed at blocking illegal immigrants from obtaining state driver’s licenses and other public benefits.
The state’s Republican legislative leaders have not announced plans to take up any major immigration-related bills this year.
