House floor session, March 3, 2026 (legislative day 26, PM)
Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The House debated a major property-tax proposal, HR 1114, but it failed 99-73 because it needed 120 votes. The sponsor announced plans to seek reconsideration on the next legislative day. The House passed bills addressing school crisis-hotline information, vehicle obstruction of police, homelessness-service reporting in Atlanta, homeowners association rules, elder sexual abuse, drones near prisons, smoke alarms, zoo enclosures, a sales-tax incentive, code corrections and cotton as the state fabric. Members returned two bills to the Rules Committee and postponed several other measures, including the property-tax proposal’s accompanying legislation, HB 1116. The House also adopted a group of recognition and memorial resolutions without objection. After announcements and remarks on military service, foster children and school facilities, the House adjourned until March 4 at 10 a.m.
One of those people, her last name is Good. Her name was Renee Good. At bare minimum, shouldn't that make us pause and wonder if the propaganda that we are being exposed to is telling us something that isn't true? To me, that is the world screaming at us to wake up, to look around us. I saw even conservative commentators condemn what happened to Alex...
And she begged me to come with her to figure out what's going on, and this was at night. I ran over there. Am I gonna get charged with obstruction because I went to ask questions because people are scared right now? People are terrified. I cannot begin to describe to you the fear that continues to permeate itself throughout our communities in this moment....

House floor session, March 4, 2026 (legislative day 27, PM, part 1)
Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The House passed 18 bills and adopted a group of recognition and memorial resolutions. The longest debate concerned HB 295, which would let property owners seek compensation when local governments decline to enforce specified laws. It passed 98-75 after supporters emphasized property rights and opponents raised concerns about homelessness, local decisions and legal costs. Other measures passed included pharmacist access to contraception, a one-time income tax refund, tax relief for farm assistance payments, changes to scholarship eligibility, rural hospital contracting, conservation and historic rehabilitation tax credits, stablecoin regulation, home modification fee relief for disabled veterans, and a treatment research program for veterans and retired first responders. The House then recessed until 7 p.m.
What it does instead is expose cities and counties to financial liability if they do not enforce certain laws aggressively enough, even when enforcement is not the right or effective response. Now, I know what supporters will say. They will say this bill is about public safety. They will say it's about holding local governments accountable. They will say...
And so some of those guardrails are here contained in the bill. So I don't believe there's gonna be, uh, just this... It's not like this is gonna be an un- unlimited liability on local jurisdictions. Also, the, the amount that could be recovered is capped at whatever your property tax bill was. So this is not gonna be, uh, some kind of bonanza for the trial...

The problem with the process as we have it now, that's where we stopped. We didn't allow the proc- We didn't allow for a resolution of those comments other than to restart the 45 days. And what we've had in some communities, not all over the place, but in some communities, we've had circ- circumstances and situations to where the application would be made...
Now, later in the bill, we have a s- a, we have a provision that if that happens, if it goes away from or outside the local issuing authority, that forty-five day time sh- clock is tolled. It stops until it comes back. That provides adequate time for larger projects to be reviewed and projects that local authorities do not have the expertise to review. Once...

Ultimately, this legislation is important because it allows survivors the opportunity to go to law enforcement to express what has occurred, but also can deter this tr- this type of criminal conduct now from even occurring on the front and thereby protecting those who would otherwise be vulnerable. It's for all these reasons that I encourage your support of...
And that is the issue, because the most powerful deterrent to protest is not a misdemeanor, it is the threat of financial ruin. When people know that participating could expose them to lawsuits, many will choose not to show up at all. That is not about managing behavior, behavior after the fact. That is about stopping participation before it begins. Civil...

The session recessed for dinner until 6:45 p.m.
A survivor of that massacre said she thought she was hearing a nail gun. She later said if it had been a regular gunshot, they would have known sooner. Even 30 or 60 seconds could have allowed more people to barricade, to hide, to survive. 30 seconds. That's the difference the silencer makes. I've heard the argument, frankly, it's the only argument, that...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wanna talk about a gap. Not a gap in philosophy, I'll get to that in my close, but a gap in enforcement, and a gap that this bill creates. A bill that I vehemently oppose. Right now, Georgia law has its own prohibition on unlawful silencer possession, and it prohibit- that pr- prohibition sits aside federal law, as you've just...

Admission policies are fair and clearly defined. Students are not counseled out without protections. The goal is not to simply access-- The goal is not simply access to a seat. It is access to a safe, supportive, and legally protected learning environment. Expanding options for students with disabilities is the right direction, but our responsibility does...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, Representative Carter, for bringing this bill. I do wanna stand, uh, before you and say I will be supporting this bill. It was an honor to work with you on this bill. Again, this is, um, not an IEP. It's not paperwork. What it really is is a roadmap for our students to get the type of support and accommodations that...

It certainly will. It's even helping, and I will tell you that, uh, our medical school came up with helping us think about doing this because they were having to get...

But it's difficult 500 feet in the city, but I support the bill because, uh, I don't have a problem with preventing the...
We don't want to push it. And I know it's hard for some of you to understand turbulent times, but the law is the law, and the law can be long-term.
