On Day 1, Sen. John Albers (R-Roswell) spoke to recent "swatting" pranks. Albers called for new legislation that would increase civil and criminal penalties for these calls. In the House, legislators remembered three individuals who have already lost their lives in 2024. Sunday night, the legislative session kicked off with the annual Wild Hog Supper, an event to benefit Georgia's food banks.
