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.
This means that both SB 59 and HB 504 are dead for the year. MemeStreamers may rejoice.. However, you still can't buy booze on Sunday. I guess we can't have everything. Crossover Day in the Georgia Legislature |
