Meeting transcript · Georgia House of Representatives · March 6, 2026
House floor session, March 6, 2026 (legislative day 28, AM)
Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The House passed HB 717, regulating ketamine clinics, and four education and workforce measures: HB 1293, HB 1114, HB 1328 and HB 1345. Members debated HB 1446, which would move emergency medical services oversight to a new council. It failed 52 to 114, but the House then voted 107 to 62 to reconsider it. No second passage vote appears before the lunch recess. The House also returned HB 812 and HB 1116 to the Rules Committee, heard first and second readings and committee reports, and recognized visitors and public service. The session recessed until 2:15 p.m.
Quite simply, it is the difference between life and death. House Bill 1446 proposes a major restructuring of how EMS is governed in our state. It moves oversight from Georgia Department of Public Health to a newly created Georgia EMS and Trauma Council. It changes regulatory authority, regional governance, and potentially how ambulance service territories...
Those concerns deserve to be heard, they deserve to be discussed, and they deserve to be addressed before we move forward. Mr. Speaker, EMS does not operate in isolation. It is deeply connected to our hospitals, our trauma network, our stroke care systems, our disaster response infrastructure. Changes to EMS governance must be coordinated with those systems...

It's a psychedelic drug. People can have out-of-body experiences. They can hallucinate. There is a variety of side effects that occur from this drug. All of a sudden, there with no loopholes and no oversight, we're beginning to get ketamine clinics across our state. They are functioning without any regulation. Any safety precalls, uh, and precautions such...

The gentleman's yielded the well. That completes chairman's time. That completes our discussion on Senate Bill 513. Is there any objection to adopting, uh, to adopting the committee substitute? Hearing none, the committee substitute's adopted. Is there any objection to agreeing to the report of the committee which was favorable to the passage of the bill?...
I'm sure the gentleman believes what he speaks. For what purpose does... For what purpose does Representative Neal rise? I'm excusing myself. What, for what purpose does the lady rise? Make a motion. Oh, make- I, to excuse myself from the vote. You got it. Lady has that right, and the journal will so reflect. The lady is excused on this vote. All members...

I had no idea the ramifications when I was a teenager of how this would end up being for my family. But going back to the sports betting part, this is already happening. This happens all the time in our state. It's just unregulated. And it's happening primarily in offshore platforms that are gonna do the things that Representative Ballender, Balland...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Um, I do rise, uh, today in support of House Resolution 450. Uh, colleagues, this legislation's ultimately about something that's very simple: letting the people of Georgia decide. For years, we have watched our neighboring states modernize their gambling laws and capture billions of dollars in economic activity. Meanwhile, Georgians...
