ATLANTA — The Georgia Senate on Wednesday passed a bill by Sen. Jeff Mullis, R-Chickamauga, that he said may help the state qualify for more federal transportation funds.

Senate Bill 305 would double the share of transportation projects, from 15 percent to 30 percent, that could be contracted using the design-build concept.
