  • 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.

    FEB 27: Stop Gerrymandering Now! - Atlanta, GA Mon Feb 27th 4:00pm - 8:00pm AtlantaGAGeorgiaVoting 18 Capitol Square SW, Atlanta, GA 30334, USA map Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, calling for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts. The hearing for these resolutions will be at the last minute before crossover day, on Monday Feb 27 at 4 pm in room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building. We need to show up at the meeting and demand a vote that day. Our votes matter! We demand fair and equal representation! Partisan legislatures have been violating federal mandate for decades, by drawing voting district boundaries to favor the party in power. It’s called Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering undermines fair representation and competitive elections. Gerrymandered districts cheat voters by making some votes count more than others. It’s not hard to see that partisan legislators have a vested interested in the outcome. The good news is Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, which call for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts instead of the General Assembly. Georgia would join 6 other forward-looking states if it adopted the independent commission approach to redistricting. More good news is that Senator Ben Watson of the Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee has agreed to hold a hearing on the resolutions. But, the hearing is at the 11 th hour before Crossover Day, when bills in each house must crossover to the other house for consideration.

  • 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.

LillyPAC was established to work to ensure that this vision is also shared by lawmakers, who make policy decisions that impact our company and the patients we serve.
