This week at the Cap
Committee hearings consumed the majority of the week at the Georgia General Assembly. On Friday, the House approved HB 105 the Amended FY 2013 Budget maintaining the overall amount at $19.3 billion. The mid-year budget provides a $172.7 million Education adjustment and reduces revenues by $26.3 million to reflect estimated 3.9% state growth. The AFY 2013 budget passed 145 - 18.
In Committee this week
HB 124 a Sunday Sales
fix that I authored was favorably reported out of the Regulated Industries
Committee as was HB 132 moving the Boards of
Pharmacy and Dentistry to the Department of Community Health rather than the
Secretary of State.
HB 159 my Property
Protection Bill was read for the first time in Ways & Means and assigned to
the Public Finance and Policy Subcommittee. For a detailed summary of the bill
that would prohibit billing non-tax fees on your property tax bill click here.
