The Georgia state legislature’s 2025 session came to an abrupt end this year, with the state Senate adjourning just after 9 p.m. while the state House was still in session. The session, which had shown cooperation and passed key bills such as tort reform, ended with dissension between the two houses. Priority bills passed by the Republican-controlled legislature included measures to protect religious freedom, tort reform, a ban on biological men competing in girls’ sports, and a school safety bill. However, controversial bills such as a DOGE bill and an anti-DEI measure stalled in the House. Democratic lawmakers expressed frustration with some of the bills but were able to successfully hold the line on anti-DEI legislation, which they believed would have set the state back. Political strategists Brian Robinson and Tharon Johnson provided insight on the session, with Johnson praising Democrats for standing up against harmful legislation. Despite the abrupt end to the session, the legislature was able to accomplish several key tasks before adjourning. The information was reported live by FOX 5 Atlanta reporter Deidra Dukes from the Georgia State Capitol on April 7, 2025.
