Last night, the House passed SB291 with no amendments by a vote of 120-37. SB291 now goes to the governor for his signature. The governor will sign it into law, ignore the bill and allow it to become law or veto the bill. Should he veto, the bill would still be subject to an over ride by a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate.
SB308 is still waiting to be sent to the floor. There is no calendar posted at this time for tomorrow's session. Tomorrow is day 40 and the bill must be passed on the floor or it will die. Please continue to contact your elected officials and politely urge the passage of SB308.
On the GCO Website, the Georgia Legislative Page contains information on finding and contacting your elected officials. The information may be found here.
GCO is supporting both these bills while continuing to push for small modifications in SB308.
