Legislative Days 1 – 4
January 11, 2021 to January 14, 2021
 
Weekly updates will change a little this year as there will be a team of two down at the dome. Tyler Eck recently joined our team as CBA of GA's new Government and Regulatory Relations Associate. Tyler came highly recommended from previously working at Congressman Drew Ferguson's office and will be a great addition to our team.  I couldn't be more excited to have Tyler join me in advocating for Community Banks with our elected officials.
 
This session will go down as another notorious historic year.  The pandemic still looms over everyone's heads, and new procedures and protocols are in place to keep everyone safe under the dome.  Meaning there are already several challenges to overcome that we are happy to take on.  There are quite a few new faces around the Capital this session; 24 new House representatives and 11 new Senators this new cycle took their oath and were sworn in.  The House and Senate remain under a Republican majority at 103-77 in the House and 34-22 in the Senate.  Please see below the list of new Representatives and Senators and who they replaced:

The session began with all the formalities and resolutions to open and start both chambers. House Resolution 10 (H.R. 10) was introduced and outlines the adjournment schedule for legislative days for the first five days of the 40-day session.  Next week, the Legislature will use the days for Joint Appropriation (budget) hearings and will not convene formally for a legislative day.  Day 5 of the session will be January 26, 2021, so there will be no blog updates next week.  On Day 4 of the session, the chambers combined (remotely) for a Joint session for the Governor's State of the State address.
