Sha’don’s Law: Protecting Workers in Georgia
Sha’Don Gordon’s Law is proposed Georgia legislation currently drafted as LC 52 1131. It is designed to strengthen how employers respond when a worker suffers a serious injury or medical emergency on the job.
The proposal focuses on:
• Emergency medical response
• Family/emergency contact notification
• Injury documentation and reporting
• Worker protections
• Employer accountability
My 18-year-young son, Sha’Don Gordon, was injured at work in March 2025. He reported head and shoulder pain to management, but 911 was not called, our family was not notified, and he was sent home “to rest for a few days.”
Georgia State Representative Kim Schofield helped us get Sha’Don’s Law drafted as LC 52 1131. It is not yet an introduced House Bill.
Our goal for the 2027 legislative session is to get it introduced, build legislative support, move it through committee, and ultimately get it to a vote.
