  • Weekly Legislative Report #3 02-1-19
    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.

  • 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.

  • Sine Die 2016
    Georgia Bio Legislative Watch SineDie 2016 Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP The General Assembly has adjourned "Sine Die". In keeping with tradition, lawmakers saved their lengthiest calendar of bills for the final day of the session. They went passed the previously- assumed "midnight deadline" and adjourned closer to 12:30 am. Legislators now rush back to tend to their campaigns in their home districts. While most passed legislation is still 'pending', Governor Deal sent a strong message to Georgia's faith and business communities by vetoing HB 757, the "Free Exercise Protection Act" on Monday. Numerous legislators are calling for an override of the Governor's veto, which would require a 3/5 majority in both chambers to call them back into session. Such an action is supposed to only be used to address a State emergency. We will monitor and notify you if this gains any traction. 2016 Study Committees: Legislators passed numerous resolutions creating study committees. These committees will meet throughout the rest of year and will prepare a final report to be used during in 2017. We will be monitoring and reporting a number of these study committees. House Study Committees • HR 978, by Rep. Wendell Willard (R-Sandy Springs) creates the House Special Study Committee on Judicial Qualifications Commission Reform. • HR 979, by Rep. Penny Houston (R-Nashville) creates the House Study Committee on Programs that Provide Services for the Reading to the Blind and the Visually Impaired. • HR 1093, by Rep. Kimberly Alexander (D-Hiram) creates the House Study Committee on Mental Illness Initiative, Reform, Public Health, and Safety.

    2015 Interim LEGISLATIVE Volume 28, No. 5 August 2015 RECORD * Read online at www.lrc.ky.gov/legislation.htm Lawmakers focus on preserving military bases by Jim Hannah LRC Public Information FRANKFORT – The best way to preserve Ken- tucky’s two largest military installations – Fort Knox and Fort Campbell – is to make them more economi- cally viable for U.S. Army to operate. That’s what Col. (Ret.) David Thompson, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, told members of the Interim Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection on Aug. 13 in Frankfort. “The theme is to reduce their costs,” Thompson said. “They don’t have the money they had before. Any time we can help the installations, to pull the cost burdens off them for operating the installations, the better.” He said it’s vital Kentucky does everything it can to preserve the two bases, in addition the Blue- grass Army Depot in Richmond. The military brings $15.3 billion into Kentucky’s economy annually, Thompson said. Much of that is because of the three installations. For example, Fort Knox’s annual eco- Photo by Bud Kraft/LRC Public Information nomic impact is estimated at $2.5 billion. WWII veteran Bluford “Buddy” Smith, 92, of Hi Hat, testifies on his difficulty receiving VA benefits before the Interim Joint The three military installations are threatened Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection while House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, center, by the budget sequstration of 2013, or the automatic and Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Heather French Henry look on.
