  • 2020 Legislative Wrapup

    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.

    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.
