Tracking Our Priorities in Georgia Legislature
Steps for a Georgia Bill to Become Georgia Law

Where Are We In the Legislative Session?
As of March 16, 2023 (this page’s last update), we have entered a new, two-year Legislative Session and are currently on the lookout for bills that align with or go against our policy priorities on Sine Die.
Bills We Are Watching
Promote State Government Transparency
Without data and state adherence to established statutes and rules for sharing information related to government activities, Georgians cannot hold elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions, and the ability of our state’s people to meaningfully participate in the legislative process is compromised.
Fund State Government Equitably and Responsibly
Analyze state budget proposals to ensure the result is fair and sufficiently appropriates funding for critical services and programs like health and education.
Advance fiscally responsible tax reform proposals that strengthen state revenue, protect existing revenue streams and support working families.

House Bill 79/Senate Bill 118


House Bill 170




House Bill 413
Authorizes $100 million in new tax credits to finance an expensive tax credit program that operates through state-sponsored quasi-venture capital funds, seeking to replicate a failed multi-level lending scheme that has been discontinued in multiple states after failing to produce promised jobs or revenues and serving as a magnet for waste, fraud and abuse.

Creating and funding an Opportunity Weight to provide additional money to educate students living in poverty, shining a light on efforts to divert state dollars away from public schools and increasing state investment in pupil transportation through formula increases.
