Legislative tip sheet: Protecting dead people, then lunch with Chris Christie
The House and Senate gavel in at 9 a.m.
The calendars are light in both chambers to make a quick exit possible. The Senate has scheduled no committee meetings.
A House subcommittee will take up SB 383, a measure that says coroners can’t keep items found with people who die. We assume this involves completely dead people, rather than mostly dead people.
Qualifying for elected office ends at noon. Elsewhere on the political calendar, Govs. Chris Christie and Nathan Deal host a luncheon at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, to benefit the Republican Governors Association. Entrance fee is $10,000 and upwards.
State Democratic party chairs DuBose Porter of Georgia and John Currie of New Jersey have scheduled a 9:30 a.m. conference call to get their licks in early.
