DUGAN: An Update from the Capitol

By: Sen. Mike Dugan (R – Carrollton)

Over the last few weeks, the Senate has worked around the clock to put the finishing touches on legislation before Crossover Day, which the occurred on Tuesday last week. In the lead up to this important deadline, our committee workload increased dramatically in order to have as many quality pieces of legislation available for a floor vote as possible. On Crossover Day itself, we considered over 45 measures over an 11 hour period, and entered into the home stretch of the 2022 session.

DUGAN: An Update from the Capitol

By: Sen. Mike Dugan (R – Carrollton)

We have continued to work on legislative and budgetary priorities the past few weeks. The most significant event occurred when I, along with other members of the Majority Caucus, outlined our legislative priorities for the 2022 session. The four concepts covered by these bills represent areas that in which all Georgians should have a vested interest, covering issues including workforce development, public safety, education and data security. We believe these proposals are not only needed, but will only improve quality of life for all Georgians.
