GGA back after week off
This week the Georgia General Assembly turns it up a notch as members start to meet in their respective committees to go over legislation:
Lawmakers this week will begin working out the details of more than 120 bills that have been introduced during the first three weeks of the session.
But they expect it to be later in the week, if at all, before they start taking full chamber votes on any measures.
“We’ll finally start working on bills and legislation,” said Senate President Pro Tem Eric Johnson, R-Savannah.
Newly formed committees will start taking up a lengthy slate of bills, ranging from giving parents of disabled children money to attend private school if they want, to making it a penalty to drive while talking on a cell phone.
Here is the list of committee meetings for today in the House and Senate.
