House and Senate convene at 10 a.m. today, each with plenty of bills to consider on their floors and in committee. Up in the House are bills to require ignition locks in the vehicles of those who refuse blood-alcohol tests and a bill to make it easier for firefighters diagnosed with cancer to receive benefits.
The House Regulated Industries Committee holds a hearing -- but no vote -- on a constitutional amendment on opening Georgia to casinos.
