The key outcomes of this year’s Georgia legislative session have implications for companies doing business in Georgia and for everyone interested in the outcome of the next presidential election. In the 2024 legislative session, Georgia’s General Assembly debated hotly contested laws that affect education, tort reform, health care, DEI and ballot access in Georgia. Gov. Brian Kemp will have until May 7 to sign bills that passed both chambers. This session’s highs and lows, against the backdrop of the evolving political and regulatory landscape, affect Georgians, businesses in the state marketplace, and all citizens concerned about the next presidential election.

Legislation Affecting Schools and Children

Decisions at the legislative level will once again affect the quality of education in Georgia and businesses that rely on the development of the State’s future workforce. Education continued to be a point of contention in the 2024 legislative session, with Georgia’s General Assembly addressing issues that have been hotly debated across the country.
