Lawmakers Day 39 March 26, 2024

The House began the day by honoring UGA student heroes while the Senate said goodbye to a colleague. Then the frenzy to pass bills began, including the Senate’s version of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget. In the House, a moratorium on new mining projects near the Ofekenokee Swamp was overwhelmingly passed, as well as House Bill 404, requiring landlords to keep rentals livable.
