Thursday, March 7 is the 2019 Crossover Day in the Georgia Legislature. It’s when a bill typically needs to pass at least one chamber of the General Assembly in order to have a chance of becoming law this year.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will have the largest team covering the action, using its expertise to offer insight on the issues that matter to taxpayers. Follow the coverage at AJC.com/politics.

There also will be a Bill Tracker to provide an up-to-date look at what happens to specific pieces of legislation now before the General Assembly.

The Legislature meets for 40 legislative days. Adjournment is expected to be April 2.
