Do or Sine Die: How last-minute laws will affect Georgia's future
Sine Die—the final day of the Georgia General Assembly’s 40-day session—is typically frenetic, as state lawmakers rush to pass bills before the House and Senate adjourn. This year, it also highlighted a key trend in Georgia politics: Republican lawmakers increasingly trying to emulate President Donald Trump’s MAGA policies. Some legislation, including bills that limit transgender rights or expand religious liberty, passed through the Republican-controlled legislature. Others faced roadblocks and will have to wait until the next session, after lawmakers stunned the Capitol by ending Sine Die early.
