BARTOW · PUBLIC-RECORDS TRANSPARENCY GRADE
B
19/24
Bartow gets a B.
Georgia has the fastest statutory clock graded so far (3 business days) and a permissive booking-photo regime. The drag is fragmentation: no statewide free public case search, GBI criminal history is in-person only, and PeachCourt is filing infrastructure rather than a public records portal. Strong law, uneven infrastructure.
Note: Statewide grade applies — no separate local grade yet computed for Bartow.
