Lucid Group USA, Inc. v. State of Georgia

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that the constitutional provision authorizing regulation of the new motor vehicle industry does not automatically bar due process and equal protection challenges; immunity applies only to regulations enacted for the purposes specified in that provision. The court also held that the Direct Sales Prohibition is a general law operating uniformly, and that Lucid lacks standing to challenge the Tesla-specific exception independently. The court nevertheless remanded for consideration of whether the 2015 amendment as a whole violates the constitutional restrictions on special legislation.
