  • Presession Report 2019
    PRESESSION REPORT 2019 PRE-FILED LEGISLATION • House http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=2 • Senate http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=1 There were 28 pre-filed pieces of legislation for 2019. While some were on the lighter side – such as naming the judicial center after Governor Nathan Deal and commending the Atlanta Braves 2018 season – some notables include the following: HB 2 – (Rep. Matt Gurtler) Allows certain Georgians to carry a firearm without a permit. HB 8 – (Rep. Debbie Buckner) Exempts certain women’s hygiene products from state sales tax. HR 2 – (Rep. Scot Turner) Prohibits the use of a poll tax in Georgia. HR 6 – (Rep. Michael Caldwell) Provides for term limits for state elected officials. SB 2 – (Sen. Steve Gooch) Allows for EMCs to partner with internet companies to provide broadband service to members. HOT BUTTON ISSUES FOR 2019 Education Throughout the campaign, Governor Kemp presented education as one of his top priorities. Included in this is teacher compensation and a priority on mental health counselors in schools as well as school security. We will also continue to watch and see how the state proceeds with the implementation of the testing pilot program passed in 2018. One complication in education policy in 2019 is a void in leadership in each Chamber. With the retirement of Brooks Coleman in the House and Senator Lindsey Tippins resigning his chairmanship, both committees are currently without a leader. We expect the new chairs to be announced any day now. Rural Georgia Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session and the 2018 Campaign season, we saw a recurring theme in that legislators see the need for reforms that aid rural Georgia.

  • House of Representatives
    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.

  • House and Senate Working Toward Agreement on Final Budget
    March 27, 2018 House and Senate Working Toward Agreement on Final Budget While the House and Senate worked long days and voted on many pieces of legislation, they have yet to complete work on the one piece of legislation that, according to the Georgia Constitution, must be passed each year—the state budget. Only two legislative days remain in the session, as the General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn Sine Die on Thursday, March 29. Hidden Predator Act When first introduced, HB 605 (Rep. Jason Spencer, 180th), the Hidden Predator Act of 2018, allowed plaintiffs of any age to file a civil suit for injuries resulting from childhood sexual abuse for a period of two years—from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2020. Extensive work was done on the bill in the House Judiciary Committee in response to expressed concerns. HB 605 was further amended by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which passed its version of the bill last Thursday. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jason Spencer, expressed concerns about the Senate’s version and said he’ll ask the House to disagree with the changes if the Senate passes it in its current form. House disagreement would require the appointment of a House- Senate conference committee to reconcile differences between the two versions. Distracted Driving Legislation HB 673 (Rep. John Carson, 46th), the distracted driving bill, has also generated much discussion among legislators. The original version of the bill, which required drivers to use hands-free technology with wireless phones while operating a vehicle, was amended in the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee and on the House floor prior to passage.
