Georgia House, Senate Convene At 10am
Theeeeeyy’rrrrreeee Baaaaaaaaack!
It seems like just yesterday the gavel dropped Sine Die and everyone hurried off to Augusta, St. Simons, or anywhere else we/they could hide after 40 days under the Gold Dome. And yet, like Groundhog Day, here we are again.
The Georgia House & Georgia Senate will gavel in at 10am.
You can watch the House live here.
You can watch the Senate live here.
What are you looking for in this session? Consider this an OPEN THREAD:

I’ve been thinking about $tripper$.
Mostly, I’ve been thinking about the pole tax that the voters passed in November. Most child sex trafficking doesn’t happen at strip clubs – but a whole lot happens at hotels and motels across Georgia. Hotels and motels are licensed by the state. If every strip club in Georgia is subject to a tax, regardless of whether any sex trafficking actually happened there, it seems like we should at least have a conversation about whether the hotels and motels where the sex trafficking is absolutely taking place should AT LEAST pay a fine if a bust happens there, and if there are multiple busts at a hotel, the jurisdiction that holds their license should be able to revoke that license (not unlike how jurisdictions can revoke pouring licenses after repeated violations).
Question: How will the i-75 south toll lanes work? Where eill they begin and how many of the existing lanes will be woven in to them? Sorry fot the thread jack. Didn’t mean to post here.
They start at the 675 split and go down to McDizzle.

You are saved because it’s an open thread. They will work with a Peach Pass. And as I understand it, only those with a Peach Pass (i.e, paying customers, not high occupancy free vehicles) will be allowed to use the lanes.
Please, no ‘religious freedom’ bills.
