  • 2020 Legislative Wrapup
    2020 Legislative Summary Includes bills of interest in the 2020 session and bills that were held over from the 2019 legislative session. The 2020 Legislative Session ran from Monday, Jan. 14th – Friday, Jun. 26th. The last quarter of the 2020 legislative session was truly a 'new era' under the Gold Dome. While legislators came to just two weeks ago, a sense of uncertainty for legislators and lobbyists alike filled the halls. The fiscal year 2021 budget, hate crimes legislation, multiple tax increase efforts, PBM reform, and copious amendments were the talk of the week. As committees kicked off, more amendments were being proposed and added to moving bills to address ‘priority issues’ before legislators headed home for the remainder of 2020. The following notable bills that were passed in the respective chambers are set to land on the Governor's desk. Failed bills are effectively dead and would have to be reintroduced next year. Each bill must be adopted in identical form by each chamber. Like the budget, most new laws take effect on July 1 unless another date is specified in the bill itself. The Governor has forty days following the legislative session to veto entire bills or line items in the budget. Hate Crimes HB 426 by Rep. Chuck Efstration was introduced to the Georgia General Assembly in March of 2019. Following the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, as well as recent nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality the legislation moved quickly through both the Senate and House Chambers on Legislative Day 37. Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday, signed the legislation allowing additional penalties to be imposed for crimes motivated by a victim’s race, religion, sexual orientation, or other factors, removing Georgia from the dwindling list of U.S.

  • District Policy Group Provides Top-Line Outcomes and Insight, with Emphasis on Health Care Policy and Appropriations, Regarding Tuesday’S Midterm Elections
    District Policy Group provides top-line outcomes and insight, with emphasis on health care policy and appropriations, regarding Tuesday’s midterm elections. Election Outcome and Impact on Outlook for 114th Congress: With the conclusion of Tuesday’s midterm elections, we have officially entered that Lame Duck period of time between the end of one Congress and the start of another. Yesterday’s results brought with them outcomes that were both surprising and those that were long-anticipated. For the next two years, the House and Senate will be controlled by the Republicans. However, regardless of the predictions that pundits made, the votes are in, Members of the 114th Congress (2015-2016) have been determined, and we can now begin to speculate about what these changes will mean for business interests and advocacy organizations. Even though we now have a Republican majority in Congress, for the next two years, President Obama remains resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Although President Obama will be a Lame Duck President, he still has issues and priority policies he wishes to pursue. Many other Lame Duck presidents have faced Congresses controlled by the opposite party and how a President responds to the challenge often can determine his legacy. Given the total number of Republican pick-ups in the House and Senate, we anticipate the GOP will feel emboldened to pursue its top policy priorities; as such, we do not suspect that collaboration and bipartisanship will suddenly arrive at the Capitol. We anticipate the Democrats will work hard to try to keep their caucus together, but this may prove challenging for Senate Minority Leader Reid, especially with the moderate Democrats and Independents possibly deciding to ally with the GOP.
