January Legislative Update from John Haliburton, Thrash-Haliburton Government Affairs

The 2026 Georgia General Assembly had its first day of session on January 12, 2026! They were in for five days last week from January 12 – January 16. Georgia’s Legislature operates on a biennial process, so 2026 is the second year of the process for 2025-2026. All bills that were not signed or vetoed by the Governor in 2025 are “alive” for passage and they begin in 2026 in the last committee from which they came in 2026.

The week of January 12 was very busy at the Capitol with meetings occurring all day, every day, and the Governor giving his State of the State address to both chambers on January 15. The week of January 5 – 9 was also extremely busy with fundraisers occurring January 6 – 9 in Atlanta and throughout the State for legislators and statewide elected officials. Legislators cannot accept contributions once session starts.

January 19 – 23 had no official legislative days because the House and Senate Appropriations Committees had joint budget hearings Tuesday – Friday, but there was a lot of action with informal meetings occurring with legislators the entire week. The Legislature came back for official session on January 26. The last day of session will be April 2!
