Lawmakers in the House fulfilled an important requirement for the session today, and several special visitors came to the Capitol.  

Lawmakers argued about a familiar topic at the Georgia Capitol today as they reached the three-quarter mark in the session.  The House debated an oversight board for district and other prosecuting attorneys — again.  

Lawmakers came back to the Capitol on Monday after a late Crossover Day night. 

Lawmakers in the state House and Senate OK'd several controversial bills on a key day of the 2024 legislative session. 

On the Thursday February 29th edition of Georgia Today: Today is crossover day at the State Capitol we'll look at what that means for pending legislation before lawmakers; A bill to allow an opioid reversing drug in schools is moving forward after passage in the Senate; And a new book promises to shake up our understanding of the founder of Georgia. We'll talk to the author. 

Host of GPB's Lawmakers, Donna Lowry, talks with Morning Edition's Pamela Kirkland about Crossover Day in the Georgia legislature and the bills that Republicans and Democrats hope to push bills through their chambers before this year's deadline. Lawmakers features a special episode tonight at 7 p.m. on GPB-TV.

Both chambers moved through the rules calendar quickly to pass as many bills as possible before Crossover Day. And Senate Minority Leader Gloria Butler announced her retirement. 

Lawmakers remembered Laken Riley, the former University of Georgia student killed last week. The murder quickly became a politicized debate over border control and immigration over the weekend, with Republican state Sen. John Albers weighing in today, along with Democratic state Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes.

Today at the Capitol, the chambers clashed over the mid-year budget, and lawmakers debated safeguards against a new type of election fraud.  

On Day 24, lawmakers welcomed a new member and debated new rules that could affect your driving. 

It was a nuts-and-bolts bill day at the Capitol as lawmakers passed bills about education and taxes under the Gold Dome. 

The day started with the seating of new House Rules Chairman, Representative Butch Parrish.  

Before discussing the bills of the day in the Senate, the rise in gun violence was noted on the Senate floor.

As we reached the halfway point in the session, it was a tale of two chambers — leading up to a major announcement from Gov. Brian Kemp.

Senators discussed a Republican-penned resolution allowing Gov. Brian Kemp to allocate resources to help the state of Texas secure the border.
