Many emergency departments are beginning to return to pre-pandemic volumes.

  • 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.

  • Rural GA Republicans Split on Private School Voucher Bill
    Rural GA Republicans Split on Private School Voucher Bill March 10, 2019 Jessica Szilagyi Rural Georgia lawmakers divided the delegation last week as they took up a measure that would redirect state tax dollar vouchers for private schools. Senate Bill 173 proposes the creation of a ‘scholarship’ account to allow parents to direct the average amount of $5,500 in state money that currently goes to public schools on a per student basis to a private school instead. It would also allow the flexibility of using the money for “other educational costs” like textbooks or tutoring as well. The idea has long been held by Republicans as a ‘free market approach’ to education, supported by the Georgia Center for Opportunity and Americans for Prosperity, but public school supporters, the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, and similar organizations have said it would leave public schools with limited funds and create a divide amongst student types. Democrats argue the idea is a subsidy for private school attendees while conservatives say their tax allocation should ‘go with the child.’ Senator Greg Dolezal said of the scholarships during debate last week: “They allow the state funding to follow the child into a variety of optional educational experiences, such as homeschooling, hybrid schooling, online schooling, virtual schooling, private schooling, home tutoring, et cetera,” while Senator John Albers said, “The state has no money,” he said. “They have the people’s money, which they forcibly take from them through taxes. So, the same people’s money who may want to have a different option for their child…I would hope we would never stand in front of the student and the people who fund that.” Both are metro area Republicans.
