Legislature sets March 20 end
ATLANTA – State lawmakers in Georgia are planning to end their legislative session March 20.
Lawmakers in the General Assembly set a calendar Tuesday for the rest of their legislative year. The House and Senate will not meet for the rest of the week because of the winter storm.
By law, the General Assembly meets annually for 40 working days.
State lawmakers generally must get their legislation adopted by at least one of two legislative chambers by March 3 if they want their bills to have a chance to become law. Any bills that do not pass by March 20 automatically will fail.
