Senate to take up ‘secrecy’ bill this afternoon
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Georgia Senate breezed through five non-controversial bills this morning. Two of the bills were technical and corrected inconsistencies in the Georgia Code.
The Senate also approved SB 144, a measure that creates a Georgia Rural Development Council, and SR 21, a resolution that creates a Joint Early Learning Initiative Commission.
The Senate went in to recess at 11:40 a.m. and will reconvene at 1 p.m. Then, the Senate is scheduled to debate House Bill 218, a highly controversial measure that would keep secret the negotiations of state planners and nearly 900 local economic development agencies until their efforts are completed or shelved.
The measure passed by a vote of 118-52 in the House.
