Municipal Deposit Legislation

We finally have a bill number for our priority municipal deposit legislation!  Our bill number is SB 157, which is sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy (R), Macon.  Now, it is time to get to work and get the bill moving through the process before cross-over day.  We anticipate that the Senate Banking & Financial Institutions Committee will hear the bill on Tuesday, February 26th.  Members of the Senate Banking & Financial Committee that will be voting on the bill are as follows:

• Ligon, William T. (Co-Sponsor of bill)
• Kennedy, John F. (Sponsor of bill)
• Thompson, Bruce 
• Dugan, Mike (Co-Sponsor of bill)
• Harbison, Ed 
• Jones, Emanuel
• Jordan, Jennifer
• Miller, Butch (Co-Sponsor of bill)
• Stone, Jesse (Co-Sponsor of bill)
• Strickland, Brian
