Georgia lawmakers, like their counterparts in several other states, passed a tough law targeting illegal immigration earlier this year.
Some south Georgia Republicans who voted for the bill said they've heard concerns from those whose work in agriculture and would like to see amendments made to help farmers.
Secretary of State Brian Kemp said he'd like to see some changes to a section that establishes requirements for the issuing and renewal of professional or business licenses.
But legislative leaders and the law's sponsor say significant changes to the law's substance are unlikely.
