A push to legalize the Sunday sale of alcohol topped a list of bills that likely died in the Georgia Legislature on Monday. The bills including a proposed hate crimes law, plans for Confederate History Month and Gov. Sonny Perdue's effort to clarify that church groups may receive state money were not among the ones that made it onto the Senate calendar for Tuesday. WSB's Capitol Reporter Sandra Parrish reports Tuesday is the so-called Crossover Day in the Legislature. That's the 30th day of the 40-day session and the last on which a bill may pass in one chamber to be considered by the other.
While I'm not happy that they aren't fixing Georgia's silly Sunday alcohol ordinance, there are a number of problematic bills that have been discussed on MemeStreams in the past few months which are apparently dead as of tommorow, for this year at least. If you expressed concern about one of those bills, you impacted this result. Crossover Day in the Georgia Legislature |
