Georgia lawmakers will be focusing on unfinished business from this year’s General Assembly session with the creation of three blue-ribbon study committees. The committees will tackle reforms to Georgia’s election procedures, the state’s hemp policies, and insurance rates. House Speaker Jon Burns emphasized the importance of addressing these issues that impact Georgians’ lives and the state’s future.
Despite a lack of major changes in Georgia’s election laws this year, the state House and Senate were unable to agree on provisions in a comprehensive election bill, leading to its demise. Legislation aiming to ban beverages containing THC also did not pass.
The study committee on insurance rates will examine the recently passed tort reform bill aimed at curbing the rise of liability insurance premiums. Governor Brian Kemp is set to sign the bill next week. The committee’s work could result in recommendations to protect consumers from predatory pricing in Georgia’s insurance market.
These study committees will gather facts, hear from stakeholders, and determine a path forward for the 2026 legislative session. Lawmakers are eager to address these critical issues that impact the state and its residents.
