City of Atlanta - Two pieces of legislation pertaining to Domestic
Partnership have been introduced to the Atlanta City Council by
Councilmember Mary Davis: one to cover City Employees and one to cover
residents of the City of Atlanta who may or may not be city employees.

Fulton County - The Board of Commissioners will consider a Domestic
Partnership Ordinance introduced by Chairman Michael Lomax. This ordinance
applies to residents and/or employees of Fulton County.

It is anticipated that these ordinances will be considered in *early* June
by both governments so CALLS ARE NEEDED immediately. This Week.

For residents of these jurisdictions, the effect would be that partnerships
could be registered which has been useful in the probate of wills.
Additionally, DPs would be granted the same visitation rights in public
hospitals and jails.

For employees, DPs would be granted the same status of spouses and entitled
to the same benefits (family leave, insurance, pension benefits, etc.).

PLEASE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
