The Georgia Assembly is the legislative branch for our state. It is modeled like our Federal Government in Washington, D.C. Georgia has an Executive Branch and two Houses of Representatives and the Senate. The Georgia House has 56 Senators.
Our state government is always in motion even though they can only meet for 40 legislative days per year starting on the second Monday in January and usually meeting until late March. On occasion, the assembly may be called back under special session.

Before a law ever reaches the Governor’s Desk, it has to be written and passed, it has to go to committee to be studied then usually open to hearings then receive a favorable report from the committee to move forward for a vote. During this process, changes can be made. If it makes it, the final bill needs a majority vote to make it to the other house. If changes are made in the other house, the bill would then go back to the original house to be voted on again. If a compromise, a committee from both houses would be set up to ? out a ?. The latest state of a bill to be signed into law is up to the governor. If the governor vetoes it will be sent back to the original house.
