Video, on the General Assembly's Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/1170468316. Agenda: https://www.legis.ga.gov/api/document/agendas/house/Rules%2FHOUSE RULES COMMITTEE MEETING 3-5-26.pdf. > This is a machine transcript of the General Assembly's video, made by a speech-recognition model. It is not an official record and can mishear words, names, and numbers. Speakers are not identified. The video is the record: every timestamp links to the moment it plays. ## Summary written by Georgia Commons Written by gpt-6.1-sol from the transcript below. It is not part of the record. Quote the transcript or the video, not the summary. The committee approved five substitutes and placed 15 bills on the next legislative day's floor calendar. Members objected to placing [HB 1324](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1324), [HB 1377](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1377), [HB 880](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb880) and [HB 1261](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1261) on the calendar, but each motion carried by voice vote. Presentations covered vehicle-tag fraud, postproduction tax credits, youth GPS monitoring, ketamine clinics, Medicaid appeals, permitting, taxpayer privacy, cash-payment rounding and firearm suppressors. Members also requested consideration of a road-naming resolution. The chair deferred action on bills not yet available in members' packets and announced another Rules meeting for the following morning. ## Bills discussed (20) Each account was written by gpt-6.1-sol from the stretch of the transcript it names. The bill's number is said in that stretch, unless it was the only bill on a committee's agenda. ### HB 1267. Motor vehicles; increase penalties for certain offenses; provisions [HB 1267](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1267) (2025-2026 Regular Session). From [0:30:55](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1855s), turns 19 to 26. The sponsor said [HB 1267](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1267) resulted from a study committee on fraud and abuse involving dealer tags and temporary operating permits. A committee member asked how the bill treated online auto dealers and raised possible concerns from those dealers. The sponsor said the bill would not affect them and that a previous year's bill addressed them. The chair said the bill was not yet in members' packets and deferred action. ### HB 1476. Income tax; credits for postproduction expenditures; revise amount of credit [HB 1476](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1476) (2025-2026 Regular Session). From [0:32:22](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1942s), turns 27 to 35. The sponsor said [HB 1476](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1476) would revise the postproduction tax credit to ensure companies actually located in Georgia receive it. A committee member raised concern that the same spending might qualify for credits at two levels, potentially producing a credit of 60% to 65% of spending. The member planned to discuss that concern with the sponsor. The chair noted that the bill was not yet in members' packets, and no action was taken. ### HB 1445. Juvenile proceedings; authorize sharing of GPS monitoring with law enforcement and school districts [HB 1445](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1445) (2025-2026 Regular Session). From [0:33:19](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1999s), turns 37 to 39. The sponsor said [HB 1445](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1445) had been returned to committee for improvements. Working with the Department of Juvenile Justice, the sponsor said the language was tightened to provide state and local police and school systems with near-real-time notice when a youth on probation loses GPS tracking, including by removing a device or failing to charge it. No questions or action followed. ### HB 717. Medical Practice Act; regulation of the administration of psychedelic-assisted treatment and therapy; provide [HB 717](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb717) (2025-2026 Regular Session). From [0:34:16](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2056s), turns 41 to 78. Confirmed by the 2026 House Journal, p. 2013: https://www.legis.ga.gov/api/document/docs/default-source/house-journal-document-library/2026-regular-session-house-journal.pdf?sfvrsn=e39df1be_2#page=2017. The presenter described [HB 717](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb717) as a ketamine-clinic patient-safety bill and offered a substitute. The presenter said physicians and nurse anesthetists supported the agreement. Instead of a 51%/49% ownership arrangement, the substitute would allow physicians or nurse anesthetists to own a clinic entirely. The presenter also said it would allow an experienced nurse practitioner to work in a clinic and establish continuing education requirements for everyone involved, including physicians. The committee approved the substitute without opposition and later placed the bill on the floor calendar without opposition. ### HB 1475. Commerce and trade; benefits from governmental programs or civil or military service; provisions [HB 1475](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1475) (2025-2026 Regular Session). From [0:36:16](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2176s), turns 44 to 47. The sponsor said [HB 1475](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1475) would allow a representative to continue a Medicaid appeal after the patient dies. The sponsor said DHS and DFCS currently treat the death as ending the appeal unless the family obtains an administrator or personal representative, which costs money. The sponsor argued that appeals should not end on that technical ground. The chair said the bill would be in members' packets the next day; no action was taken. ### HB 812. Buildings and housing; revise process by which a local governing body may propose amendments to state minimum standard codes [HB 812](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb812) (2025-2026 Regular Session).

The presenter said a substitute to [HB 812](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb812) would clarify permitting provisions and add safeguards for local governments and local legislative delegations. A committee member asked whether concerns from organizations representing cities and counties had been satisfied. The presenter said those organizations had not been consulted specifically about the addition, but that it would give local governments and delegations more control. The committee approved the substitute without opposition and later placed the bill on the floor calendar without opposition. ### HB 874. Georgia Taxpayer Privacy Protection Act; enact [HB 874](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb874) (2025-2026 Regular Session).

The presenter said a substitute to [HB 874](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb874) made one wording change on line 38 to better match the bill's intent, but did not explain its legal effect. No questions followed. The committee approved the substitute without opposition and later placed the bill on the floor calendar without opposition. ### HB 1112. Commerce and trade; rounding of total price of sale of goods or services when using legal tender; provide [HB 1112](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1112) (2025-2026 Regular Session).

The presenter said the substitute to [HB 1112](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1112) would round cash-payment totals down to the nearest five cents. In response to a committee member's questions, the presenter explained that a $100.04 total would become $100, while totals from $100.06 through $100.09 would become $100.05. The committee approved the substitute without opposition and later placed the bill on the floor calendar without opposition. ### HB 1324.

The presenter said the substitute to [HB 1324](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1324) addressed concerns about removing language concerning firearms equipped with silencers. The presenter said that language would remain, preserving the crimes covered by that provision, and that the substitute also clarified a reference to the definition of a bulletproof vest. The committee approved the substitute without opposition. During calendar setting, a member objected to advancing the bill. The chair called a voice vote and declared that the motion to place it on the floor calendar carried; no count was stated. ### HR 1300. Representative Penny Houston Roundabout; Cook County; dedicate [HR 1300](https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1300) (2025-2026 Regular Session).

[0:30:50](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1850s) Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the committee. Fifth page, eight from the top, H- HB1267. It's not in your packet yet, but I would like to ask for this bill. This bill is a result of a study committee on fraud and abuse of, uh, dealer tags and these temporary operating permits. We have, uh, kicked the tires on this issue. We walked around it, looked under the hood. We washed and waxed it. It's full of gas. It's ready to hit the road. [0:31:17](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1877s) Uh, to, to the members, if you will notice on your sheet, there's an asterisk at the top indicating bills or resolutions are not in the books yet. They'll be coming. We're not gonna take action on this right now. But since the members were here, and anybody that wanted to ask, we'd go ahead and let them ask, and then they, they should be here later on. But, but we won't take any action on that right now. Chairman Park, um, Rip Park. [0:31:43](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1903s) Uh, a question on, uh, 1267, if that's this bill. Uh, um, where are the, uh, e-commerce auto dealers? H- how are they, uh, treated in this bill? And, and are they supported? [0:31:55](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1915s) They're, they're left alone just like, l- like they are. We're not affecting them at all. [0:31:59](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1919s) I, I think they may have some concerns, uh- [0:32:00](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1920s) Uh, there's nothing in this bill that affects them. It's in a bill last year that affects them. It's not this bill. [0:32:05](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1925s) Thank you. [0:32:11](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1931s) Okay. Those will be in your books. Should be in there tomorrow, okay? Go ahead. [0:32:17](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1937s) Thank you, Chairman and members of the committee. I have HB1476, which is third down from, on page eight. This bill, uh, revises the current post-production tax credit that we have, um, to make sure that the companies that are actually here in Georgia are getting the tax credit. [0:32:39](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1959s) Okay. That one, that one's not in your book either. Okay. [0:32:43](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1963s) Thank you. [0:32:44](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1964s) You have a question? [0:32:46](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1966s) I do. [0:32:47](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1967s) Go ahead, Chairman. [0:32:48](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1968s) I do, and I sound enjoy- I just want to, uh, sound it for the record. I have, I read the b- bill quickly last night and, and I will get with the author, but I'm concerned that it may give the same dollar of expenditure credit at two levels and I would just like to make sure we're not doing that. Otherwise, it would be up to like a 60, 65% tax credit on the spend. [0:33:07](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1987s) Okay, great. Y'all have time to get offline and get all those questions answered. [0:33:11](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1991s) Will do. Thank you. [0:33:13](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1993s) Okay. Yes, sir. [0:33:17](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=1997s) Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's, uh, four- HB1445, page seven, two-thirds of the way down. This, uh, was recommitted to perfect it or make it better anyway. Uh, I had help with DJJ, Margaret Wilk- uh, and she, basically what we did was tighten the language to have state and, state and local police agencies, school systems notified when a, um, a person who's in youth detention, who's on probation, uh, basically loses their, uh, the tracking device. Whether they take it off or they forgot to power it, uh, they'll have near real-time, um, notification. [0:33:54](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2034s) Okay, don't see any questions. [0:33:56](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2036s) Thank you, Mr. Chair. [0:33:58](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2038s) How about members of the committee? Anybody have requests you want to ask for today? [0:34:06](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2046s) Okay. Chair Lady Cooper, you have a request? Uh, thank you Mr. Chairman. Thank you for allowing me to bring a rule substitute to House Bill 717. This is the ketamine clinic bill. And, um, we have an agreement, uh, should this make it- Yes, you do ... to the floor. I have a letter, uh, from the nurse anesthetist and, uh, the physicians and all, that they are in agreement and support this bill. The changes basically were that, it, it had been where there was a 51/49, uh, ownership bit, and now it's physicians can own them 100%, nurse anesthetists can own them 100%. [0:34:48](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2088s) And I will say that the nurse anesthetists were very supportive and as worried about the safety factor using ketamine as the physicians were. It also has a way that we can have ex- an really experienced nurse practitioner, um, work in one of these clinics. 'Cause I think what's gonna happen, you may own them, but you hire somebody to work, and they do set up, uh, continuing education requirements for everybody, including, uh, the physicians. So I would appreciate everybody's support on this bill. [0:35:21](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2121s) And, uh, let's see if we can't handle this, and it's a patient safety fac- uh, bill. Thank you. Okay. Uh, let's go ahead. I had intended to take requests from the committee that were not substitutes. Oh. But let's go ahead since we've got this one and she's explained it. Uh, we would need a motion to accept the ruled substitute to House Bill 717. It's LC 600332S. [0:35:52](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2152s) You should have a copy on your desk. There's a motion and a second. Is there any opposition? Okay, that, that, we've accepted that rule substitute. Now, was there someone else who had a request other than a substitute? Yes, Leverett. Yes, Vice Chair Leverett. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have House Bill 1475, the second from the top, page eight. House Bill 1475, it, it, it would render in a Medicaid appeal if the person or patient for whom Medicaid assistance is being s- eyes. [0:36:31](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2191s) Right now, DHS DFCS has taken the position that that basically terminates the appeal- Yeah ... unless the family gets an administrator or a personal representative appointed. That obviously costs money. [0:36:47](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2207s) This would just simply say that the representative can continue to prosecute the appeal even if the patient passes away. Um, it just seems to me- That's a bad policy. It's unfair [0:37:02](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2222s) to people. It would effectively render- Decision- ... null and barren just on very technical, legal issues. So we're trying to address that with the bill. Okay, that'll be in your book tomorrow. Okay? Okay, now, [0:37:18](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2238s) let's go ahead and look at some ruled substitutes that we have. You should have all these on your desk. House Bill 812 by substitute LC474163S. Going, uh, call on CK Kelley to present that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the committee. I'm working on the committee sub to House Bill 812, which is our permitting legislation. [0:37:49](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2269s) It will add some clarification language beginning on one, on lines 168, uh, that would put some, uh, uh, guardrails too in place for our, uh, local governments and our local legislative delegations as it relates to, uh, the permitting process. Okay, you've, you've heard the explanation. We have a question. Whit Park has a question. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Um, have, uh, GMN ACCG's concerns been satisfied with your amendment? I did not speak with them, uh, specifically about this, uh, this addition, but it does vest some additional controls in the hands of local governments and our local legislative delegations, but I haven't checked in with them this morning. [0:38:29](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2309s) Thank you, sir. Okay. Don't see any other questions. Do we have a motion? To approve. To approve the ruled substitute. Motion and second. Is there any opposition? It's approved, okay? Next, let's look at House Bill 874. This ruled substitute's on your desk. LC443508S. Chairman Blackmon. [0:38:56](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2336s) Thank you, Mr. Chairman, uh, members of the committee. Uh, it did change up, uh, some language on line 38. And not being an attorney, I'm not sure exactly the, uh, the remedy behind that, but, uh, apparently that aligned better with what the intent of the bill was structured to do. Um, that's the only change. Okay. You heard the explanation. Any questions? Okay, is there a motion to approve the ruled substitute? [0:39:27](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2367s) We have a motion and a second. Is there any opposition? Okay, it's approved. Okay, House Bill 1112, 1112. LC620462S. Chairman Williamson. Uh, thank you Mr. Chairman. Uh, this bill is, uh, Representative, uh, Carter Barrett's bill that rounds, uh, cash transactions, uh, down to the nearest nickel. So the change in this bill from the original is on lines, on line 21, it simply states if one cent, two cents, three cents, four cents, six cents, seven cents, or eight cents, or nine cents is the end of resulting total, such transaction will be lowered to the, uh, uh, the, the nick- the lowest nickel. [0:40:15](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2415s) So f- if they have, uh, spent $100.06 and the customer pays $100.05- [0:40:22](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2422s) Cash. And if it's $100.04 that the customer knows in, owes in cash, they pay $100 even. Happy to answer any questions. [0:40:30](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2430s) Okay. You heard the explanation. Any questions? Do have a question. Oh, go ahead, Representative. [0:40:38](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2438s) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. How do you round down one, two, three or four cents? [0:40:42](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2442s) I'm sorry. Say it again. [0:40:44](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2444s) How do you round down one, two or three or four cents? Do they pay zero or do they pay five cents? [0:40:51](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2451s) Yeah, I was trying to give that example. For example, it was a, if they owed $100.04 in a cash transaction, they would only pay $100. So you round from $100.04 down to $100 even. [0:41:05](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2465s) That's what you said. [0:41:06](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2466s) So they don't pay that four cents. [0:41:08](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2468s) So four and below, you don't pay. [0:41:11](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2471s) And if it's, um, correct, if it's 100 ... So if it's $100 and a nickel, they pay the nickel. If it's $100.06 all the way up to $100.09, they pay $100 and a nickel. [0:41:27](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2487s) Okay. I understand. Thank you. [0:41:28](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2488s) Thank you. [0:41:29](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2489s) Okay. Any other questions? Don't see any. Do we have a motion to approve? [0:41:34](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2494s) So moved. [0:41:35](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2495s) Second. Have a motion and a second to approve the substitute to House Bill 1112 LC 62-0462-S. Any opposition? It's approved. Okay. All right, and lastly, House Bill, Substitute House Bill 1324 LC 39-5038S. Uh, Secretary Kelley. [0:42:01](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2521s) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Uh, this was the legislation that talks about the suppressors. Uh, there were some concerns in Section 5 as to what striking the language of firearm equipped with a silencer, what that would, uh, due to 16, uh, 11160. We have clarified that. We are not striking that language anymore, and we are cleaning up some language, uh, as it relates to where the definition of bulletproof vest is in that. [0:42:32](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2552s) But it makes clear that those are still all, uh, crimes should you commit them with a silencer or a suppressor. So we've strengthened the language there. [0:42:43](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2563s) Okay. You've heard the explanation. Is there any qu- Are there any questions? Don't see any questions. Is there a motion to approve? [0:42:51](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2571s) So moved. [0:42:52](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2572s) Second. Have a motion and a second to approve, uh, Substitute House Bill 1324 LC 39-5038S. Is there any opposition? It's approved. Okay. Y'all are very agreeable so far today. Well, we just got un-agreeable. Go. Chairman Jasperse. [0:43:14](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2594s) Mr. Chairman, I just, as we were asking for bills a moment ago, that one slipped my mind. I need to ask for House Resolution 1300. That is the, uh, as you'll see in the blue sheet on probably bottom of Page 8, it is our substitute, committee substitute for transportation that has all the road namings that have been, um, approved, got all their paperwork in. And this particular one is named after former Representative Penny Houston. [0:43:42](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2622s) Very important. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. Okay. All right. Now, let's set us a calendar for day 28 [0:43:54](https://vimeo.com/1170468316#t=2634s) under modified structure. House Bill 717 by Rules Substitute LC 60-0332S.
