Legislative Update – February 13, 2023

Bills we are tracking in the 2023-2024 Georgia General Assembly:

  • Senate Bill 57 — Georgia Sports Betting Integrity Act — this would permit sports betting using online apps as well as horse racing at tracks in Georgia. The biggest difference is this is not a Constitutional Amendment. So, it only requires a simple majority to pass, and would not go on a ballot for Georgia voters to decide. Status: Introduced on 02/01/23.
  • House Bill 54 — Qualified Education Tax Credit — Would increase the annual aggregate limit (cap) on available tax credits from $120 million to $200 million. Status: Introduced on 01/23/23.
  • The Women’s Health & Safety Act — this pro-life legislation is in response to the FDA allowing abortion-inducing drugs through mail without a physical examination by a doctor. We anticipate several beneficial provisions in this bill, once it is introduced. Click here for more detailed information on this legislation from our friends at Georgia Life Alliance. Status: introduced in 2021-22 session, but did not get a final vote. Has not yet been introduced in 2023-24 session.
  • Senate Bill 141 — Prohibits health care providers from performing surgeries on minors relating to sex-reassignment, such as castration and sterilization. Status: Introduced on 02/09/23.
