    Governmental Affairs Terry Mathews: 404-310-4173 [email protected] Scott Maxwell: 404-216-8075 [email protected] The following information is intended for the sole use of the clients of Mathews & Maxwell, Inc. Please contact the principals above to learn more about the services of the firm. Weekly Legislative Report #3 Week Ending February 1st, 2019 Approaching Lift-Off Much like a heavy-loaded jet lumbering down the tarmac, the 2019 legislative session seems to need just a tad more runaway before it really takes off. The session started on the latest date possible under the constitutional mandate to convene on the second Monday in January. The next week was MLK, Jr.’s birthday, which is traditionally used for budget hearings, but not legislative days. The third week of the session technically met three days, gaining some momentum, but slowed on Tuesday as the fear of snowflakes caused a shut-down of state offices. Thursday and Friday were declared recess days so the city could be turned over to the Super Bowl throngs. Monday will be a Super Bowl recess day as well, thus it will be Tuesday before the House and Senate wings of the General Assembly get entirely airborne. Support for Military Families Rep. Dave Belton (R-Buckhead), who incidentally, really does fly jets (Delta, international flights) has introduced two bills to make life easier for the families of service men and women stationed at Georgia’s military bases. HB 59 would allow students of active duty military families to enroll in public elementary and secondary schools based on official military orders prior to physically establishing residency in a local school district.

    House of Representatives JON BURNS MAJORITY LEADER ROOM 338, STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30334 December 4, 2020 SENT VIA EMAIL: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Chairperson of the State Election Board Mrs. Rebecca N. Sullivan Vice-Chairperson of the State Election Board Dear Secretary Raffensperger and Mrs. Sullivan, As I am sure you have seen over the past month, many Georgians, including my colleagues who have signed this correspondence, have serious concerns about Georgia’s elections. As we approach a critical election on January 5, 2021, it is clear that Georgia voters must have confidence in the election process going forward. To that end, below you will find two common-sense suggestions: a rule that should be promulgated by the State Election Board (the “SEB”) and additional resources of which the Office of the Secretary of State (the “SOS”) or the SEB could take advantage. I. Absentee Ballot Application and Mail-In Absentee Ballot Signature Review Process. As the process currently stands, when a voter wishes to vote early by mail, they submit an Absentee Ballot Application (“Application”) either through the mail or online. When a local Board of Registrars (the “BOR”) receives a paper Application, typically, a single employee of the BOR is responsible for the initial review of a signature on a paper Application. If that paper Application is accepted, the BOR mails an Absentee Ballot to the voter. The process for reviewing signatures on the external envelope of a returned Absentee Ballot is the same – a single employee of the BOR is allowed to “approve” a signature without oversight by other employees or independent observers.

    December 12, 2018 Michael R. Pompeo U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Secretary Pompeo: We write to express our deep concern about the potential deportation of thousands of Vietnamese refugees under pressure from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to change the terms of the current repatriation agreement between Vietnam and the United States.1 This longstanding agreement, which was signed by the U.S. and Vietnamese governments in 2008 under President George W. Bush, does not provide for the deportation of any Vietnamese citizens who arrived in the United States before July 12, 1995. [Article 2, Para. 2] Even for those who came to the U.S. after July 12, 1995, the agreement promises to “take into account the humanitarian aspect, family unity and circumstances” of each person being considered for repatriation and to carry out repatriation “in an orderly and safe way, and with respect for the individual human dignity of the person repatriated.” [Article I, Para. 1,3] The terms of this agreement recognize the complex history between the two countries and the dire circumstances under which hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese fled to the U.S. to seek refuge from political persecution in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Many of those who fled were South Vietnamese who had fought alongside or otherwise supported the U.S. government during the war. Upon their arrival into the U.S., Vietnamese refugees, many of them young children or teenagers, were resettled in struggling neighborhoods without support or resources to cope with significant trauma from the war.

Jason Spencer (180th) Through the Judiciary Committee Final Bill Summary: This legislation adds new chapters to Title 51, related to torts, to provide a limited waiver of liability for persons who agree to participate in space flight activities and space flight operations provided the participant signs a written waiver agreeing to those limitations.

  • Legislative Day 28 Legislative Session Suspended Indefinitely
    Legislative Day 28 Crossover Edition *BREAKING NEWS* Georgia to declare a public health emergency amid coronavirus outbreak. Governor Kemp's declaration tomorrow will constitute Georgia's first ever public health emergency. Per State Law in the applicable Code Section O.C.G.A 38-3-51, the legislature must meet to ratify the Governor's proclamation within 48 hours of the announcement. Click here for more details and stay tuned as more information becomes available. Legislative Session Suspended Indefinitely Crossover Day came and went in a unique way this year under the Gold Dome. Legislators rushed to vote on a multitude of issues yesterday - some of which were the products of months of discussion and others have appeared in only the last few days. It was all about the money in the House, which has finally signed off on its version of the FY 21 Budget, which restores many of the reductions proposed by Governor Kemp while reducing the proposed teacher raises from $2,000 to $1,000. Afterward, the House moved to adopt the comprehensive tax reform measure unveiled by Speaker David Ralston Tuesday that purports to lower the income tax for individuals to 5.375%. Meanwhile, the Senate focused on polarizing policy issues, including tabling a discussion on tort reform by a 27-26 vote, and ultimately dying in the Senate. Amid growing concerns of a wide-spread coronavirus outbreak, the Georgia General Assembly will suspend its 2020 legislative session indefinitely starting after Friday. The House and Senate will reconvene for the 30th Legislative Day at a future date at the discretion of Lt.
