Summary by Georgia Commons: The Senate gave first readings and committee assignments to 10 bills and two proposed resolutions. It adopted SR 561, recognizing a longtime Senate legislative assistant and current director of constituent services for the lieutenant governor. Senators reassigned SB 106 to a different committee and changed the primary author of SB 204. After debate over local gun rules and Savannah’s firearm-storage ordinance, the Senate agreed to the House substitute for SB 204 by 32 votes to 21. A separate motion to send it immediately to the governor failed, with 31 voting yes and 21 voting no. The Senate adjourned until January 14 at 10:30 a.m.

Members recognized community organizations, observed Korean American Day, offered memorial tributes and made announcements. The House adjourned after approving a motion to return January 14 at 11 a.m.
