Senate floor session, March 6, 2026 (legislative day 28, part 1)
Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): On Crossover Day, the Senate read incoming legislation and committee reports, then voted on bills covering utilities, elections, public safety, education, licensing and insurance. The Senate passed SB 410, which the sponsor said would end new data-center tax exemptions and require utility contract protections. Members disputed whether those protections would keep costs off household bills. The Senate also passed measures addressing clergy sexual abuse, AI safety, animal cruelty records, human trafficking and prosecutor oversight. SR 838, a proposed constitutional amendment on citizenship and photo identification for voting, failed to receive the required two-thirds vote. SB 573, concerning nonpartisan elections in certain counties, failed, and the sponsor requested reconsideration. No reconsideration vote appears in this transcript. The session paused for dinner after passing SB 593.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of Senate Bill 540. Uh, it's, it's an important first step in taking action to keep our kids safe online. Um, this has been an important topic for me.

People in the hallway texting you, your voters asking you to, to turn up the volume and be more partisan, primary season, qualifying season, notwithstanding all of those pressures, genuinely amazing stuff to see that we can keep our heads.

Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The Senate passed measures on insurance, contraceptive access, child-abuse reporting, property-owner claims against local governments, education, healthcare licensing and court procedures.

The session also included committee reports, honorary resolutions, tributes to departing senators and a local-consent-calendar vote. The excerpt ends with a dinner break.

Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The Senate passed six bills, including HB 973, its revised state budget proposal, which the Appropriations chair said included $409 million for a new mental health hospital and about $1.9 billion in tax relief. The House rejected the Senate’s budget changes, and the Senate appointed a conference committee to negotiate differences.

Uh, today I rise not just as a senator, but I rise as a father of four daughters, I rise as a husband, and I rise as someone who knows that every single one of us in this chamber has someone we love who could be harmed by what we're about to...
But like every powerful tool ever created, it can be misused. And when te- and when technology is used to fabricate sexually explicit images of real people, when it becomes a tool to exploit, to humiliate, to degrade, the law must respond. If this makes you furious as a father or a spouse, it should make you firm as a legislator, and this bill is firm. This...

It's the one that clarified the rules on what good voting is, what fair voting is, what transparent voting is. And not long after that was signed into law, I, along with 20 plus other colleagues, were sued for passing SB 202. Not long after that, I received a telephone call from an attorney out of Pensacola, Florida, and I was told that this attorney had...

isn't it true that SPLOST dollars can be spent not only on facilities but also on technology?

So they do not collect any overage. I'm, I'm trying to help you here....

The Senate approved committee reassignment of SB 282, read and referred other legislation, and adopted recognitions for the Georgia Aquarium and a retiring Feeding Georgia executive director.

Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The Senate passed SB 420, which the sponsor said would create a paid fishing endorsement to support better saltwater catch estimates, by 52 to 0. After extended debate, the Senate passed SB 382 by substitute, 31 to 19. The sponsor said it would make statewide homeowner property assessment protections mandatory and deliver sales-tax-funded property tax relief sooner.

Either you're successful or you're shut down. But what this body is doing is saying, "You know what? These schools where families can already afford to send their child to these schools, we're gonna let them have carte blanche. They can do whatever they want." I look forward to coming back here next year and working on some accountability measures when we...
By a show of hands, how many kids, uh, have their kids in public school right now? Okay, so maybe one, two, three, four. So about four, maybe one hand.

The gentleman from the 37th mentioned the costs of private schools, and I wanna point out that he said between $15,000 and $20,000. We don't even scratch the surface if we're trying to support kids who truly need this. We give them $6,500. And now the federal government is willing to send $1,700. That still, if you do the math, does not help the kids whose...
Right now, we don't know how those students are performing. There was also mention of the Special Needs Scholarship. Once again, money is given without any accountability. There are parents that have taken advantage of the Special Needs Scholarship and they have complained that their private school is not honoring their child's IEP. So if we're going to...

Senators also agreed 51-0 to changes to HB 1199, including a 60-day motor-fuel tax suspension, and ordered immediate transmission to the House. Two proposed constitutional amendments, HR 251 on nonpartisan probate judge elections and HR 1243 on a dedicated 911 fund, failed to reach the required two-thirds majority.

Senate floor session, June 23, 2026 (legislative day 5)
Summary by Georgia Commons (AI-written): The Senate adopted HR 3, ratifying the governor’s suspension of motor fuel and diesel fuel taxes, by 50 to 1. Two proposals to let Toccoa and Stephens County voters consider sales-tax-funded homestead exemptions, SB 5 and SB 6, failed to receive the required two-thirds support. After extensive debate over hand recounts, election deadlines and minority-party representation, the Senate agreed to the House version of SB 3 by 36 to 16. The Senate also gave SB 10 a first reading, heard a memorial presentation on SR 12, adopted a consent calendar of resolutions and confirmed the governor’s appointments by 45 to 6.

But you keep shutting us out of the conversation. And I would dare say Democrats understand more what working families, those that look like mine, I'm a working class woman, we know what's happening in our homes. We know the conversations in our community and a lot of people are really hurting with costs. You know, I've heard some feedback from community...
So rather than shifting the ta- tax burden on the working and middle class Georgians, why don't we come together and come up with some real solutions? And let's table again proposals like this and let's work together. And with that, Mr. President, I yield the floor. So pursuant to the Senate rules, actually each side is, is supposed to just have 10 minutes...

Senator from the 52nd, you're not carrying anybody's... You're not, you don't feel like you're carrying... I, I've got... You, wait one second before we close debate. There's a couple people who wanna talk real quick. Senator from the 39th. Thank you, Mr. President. I too rise in opposition to HB 1116 because this bill is being framed as a path to home...
This is the opposite of local control. This is the opposite of flexibility for our counties and our cities. It is constraint. And when you put these things together, it's a shift in who pays and a limit on how communities can respond, you begin to see the full picture. Because home ownership is not just about reducing one line item on a tax bill. It is...
