Legislative Update: Week 9 - Mar 6-10, 2023

This week the General Assembly convened Monday through Thursday for Legislative Days 28 through 31.   Monday, March 6 was Crossover Day, which is the last day that a bill can pass out of the chamber in which it originated to stay alive this year.  Bills that did not pass out of one chamber by the time the legislature adjourned Monday are effectively dead this session, though they may be considered next year.  However, no bill is truly dead until midnight on Legislative Day 40—language from bills that did

This week the General Assembly convened Tuesday through Thursday for Legislative Days 21 through 23.   At this point in the session, we are still seeing a significant number of bills introduced in both chambers each day, and committee meetings are increasingly running longer, but the clock is quickly running down for members looking to pass bills this session.   Legislators now have just one full week left to pass their bills out of their assigned committees, have them selected by the Rules Committee, and

The General Assembly convened Monday through Thursday again this week for Legislative Days 17 through 20, with Thursday marking the halfway point in the 40-day session.  This week once again saw a significant uptick in the number of bills introduced and considered by committees.  As of Wednesday, the Office of Legislative Counsel, which works with House and Senate members to draft legislation, reported producing more than 2,800 drafts since the beginning of the session.    Members now have just eight

This week the General Assembly was in session Monday through Thursday, convening for Legislative Days 13 through 16.  There was a significant uptick in committee activity this week, as well as an influx of new bills introduced in the House and Senate each day.    While each chamber is still focused on getting its own bills passed out at this point in the session, Senate bills are beginning to cross over to the House, and House bills are crossing over to the Senate.  Once a bill crosses over to the opposite

Legislative Update: Week 4 - Jan 30-Feb 3

This week the General Assembly convened Monday through Thursday for Legislative Days 9 through 12.  Legislative and committee action began to pick up substantially this week, with dozens of bills being introduced in each chamber every day this week.  Committees that did not already hold their first meeting to adopt rules did so this week, and those that had already held organizational meetings began hearing and voting on bills.   The pace of the session will likely pick up dramatically in the coming weeks,

This week the General Assembly was not in session to allow the House and Senate Appropriations Committees to hold AFY23 and FY24 budget hearings.  With Senate Appropriations Chairman Blake Tillery (R-Vidalia) and newly selected House Appropriations Chairman Matt Hatchett (R-Dublin) at the helm, Governor Kemp kicked off the three days of hearings on Tuesday morning with a presentation of his administration’s budget recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year.  Each state agency head went on to present its

Legislators from all corners of the state descended upon Atlanta this week for the beginning of the 2023-2024 Legislative Session.  Both the House and Senate gaveled in for a relatively brief session on Monday to swear in members of the General Assembly, and then a number of legislators hopped on a plane to watch the Georgia Bulldogs become back-to-back national champions that evening.  After being in recess on Tuesday, the legislature met again on Wednesday through Friday, convening for Legislative Days
