ATLANTA, Ga. (WDEF) -- There were developments today in the arrest of a northwest Georgia lawmaker at the state capitol yesterday.

State Senator Colton Moore was arrested as he tried to enter the house chamber for a joint session of lawmakers.

The House Speaker had banned him last year from entering the chambers, so state troopers arrested him.

But the case made national headlines on Monday and garnered a lot of Republican support for Moore's cause.

Today the leaders of the Senate and House spoke and agreed they would avoid this type of confrontation again.

House Speaker Jon Burns announced he was lifting the ban against Moore.

The Dade County lawmaker thanked his fellow senators for their support Friday.

The speaker banned Moore last year for publicly rebuking former speaker David Ralston during a memorial ceremony where his widow was present.

Today speaker burns says the family gave their blessing to lifting the ban against Moore.
