  • This Week in the Senate
    This Week in the Senate March 1 - 5 , 2021 Crossover Day in Sight After a week of alternating days between the cham- Georgia Senate ber voting on legislation and carefully vetting leg- islation in committees, the Senate has set the stage Press Office Staff for a busy, but productive Crossover Day. In the days Andrew Allison leading up to Crossover, we typically face aggressive Director agendas of legislation in an effort to ensure that not a single priority is missed. This year was no differ- Kessarin Horvath ent, as we passed more than 40 bills and resolution. Communications Specialist However, our calendars to this point will pale in comparison to the length of that of Crossover Day, Kami Briden which we will see on Monday. Senior Communications Associate This week, I had the opportunity to present a piece Cameren Rogers of legislation that addresses a long overdue loophole in our justice system. Current- 2021 Communications Aide ly, state law considers it a felony for an employee of a school to engage in improper sexual contact with a student enrolled at that school. However, we have heard hor- Maia Schulte rific stories involving misconduct occurring at schools other than those where the 2021 Communications Aide student is enrolled or by other individuals who had a responsibility to care for that child. Senate Bill 117 expands this original definition to include any volunteer or Sascha Stryker employee within the school district of the victim, as well as creates the additional 2021 Communications Aide offense of “improper sexual contact by a person in a position of trust” to cover other individuals entrusted with the care of a minor who engages in improper activity.
