  • 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.

    FEB 27: Stop Gerrymandering Now! - Atlanta, GA Mon Feb 27th 4:00pm - 8:00pm AtlantaGAGeorgiaVoting 18 Capitol Square SW, Atlanta, GA 30334, USA map Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, calling for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts. The hearing for these resolutions will be at the last minute before crossover day, on Monday Feb 27 at 4 pm in room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building. We need to show up at the meeting and demand a vote that day. Our votes matter! We demand fair and equal representation! Partisan legislatures have been violating federal mandate for decades, by drawing voting district boundaries to favor the party in power. It’s called Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering undermines fair representation and competitive elections. Gerrymandered districts cheat voters by making some votes count more than others. It’s not hard to see that partisan legislators have a vested interested in the outcome. The good news is Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, which call for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts instead of the General Assembly. Georgia would join 6 other forward-looking states if it adopted the independent commission approach to redistricting. More good news is that Senator Ben Watson of the Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee has agreed to hold a hearing on the resolutions. But, the hearing is at the 11 th hour before Crossover Day, when bills in each house must crossover to the other house for consideration.

    Sine Die 2016

    Georgia Bio Legislative Watch SineDie 2016 Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP The General Assembly has adjourned "Sine Die". In keeping with tradition, lawmakers saved their lengthiest calendar of bills for the final day of the session. They went passed the previously- assumed "midnight deadline" and adjourned closer to 12:30 am. Legislators now rush back to tend to their campaigns in their home districts. While most passed legislation is still 'pending', Governor Deal sent a strong message to Georgia's faith and business communities by vetoing HB 757, the "Free Exercise Protection Act" on Monday. Numerous legislators are calling for an override of the Governor's veto, which would require a 3/5 majority in both chambers to call them back into session. Such an action is supposed to only be used to address a State emergency. We will monitor and notify you if this gains any traction. 2016 Study Committees: Legislators passed numerous resolutions creating study committees. These committees will meet throughout the rest of year and will prepare a final report to be used during in 2017. We will be monitoring and reporting a number of these study committees. House Study Committees • HR 978, by Rep. Wendell Willard (R-Sandy Springs) creates the House Special Study Committee on Judicial Qualifications Commission Reform. • HR 979, by Rep. Penny Houston (R-Nashville) creates the House Study Committee on Programs that Provide Services for the Reading to the Blind and the Visually Impaired. • HR 1093, by Rep. Kimberly Alexander (D-Hiram) creates the House Study Committee on Mental Illness Initiative, Reform, Public Health, and Safety.

Please contact the principals above to learn more about the services of the firm. Weekly Legislative Report #6 Week Ending February 22nd, 2019 The General Assembly completed its 20th legislative day on Friday, the halfway point of its 40-day session. Floor sessions are lengthening and committee meetings are beginning to stretch into the 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. realm as more and more bills work their way through the multi-layered process. FY 2019 Amended Budget Completed The House and Senate on Friday passed the FYA 2019 budget with a couple of amendments, finishing the General Assembly’s work on funding for the fiscal year ending June 30. Legislators found an additional $250,000 for home delivered meals to decrease the waiting list in each Area Agency on Aging across the state. They added $2 million to help hospitals located in rural, federally designated counties adversely impacted by Hurricane Michael, and made $20 million available for loans to farmers impacted by the hurricane. The increases are based on an estimated 3.3% revenue growth through June 30. That’s more than the 1.5% growth the state has seen since July 1 of last year, but legislators were confident of balancing the budget as required by the state constitution. Your Doc Is Just a Phone Call Away . Senator Renee Unterman (R-Buford) lost her HHS Committee Chair, but she certainly hasn’t retired from the fight.
