Everything you need to know about Georgia’s 2019 legislative session

Feb. 29, 2016 - Atlanta - Representatives vote on one of numerous bills that came up for a vote. Many key bills come up for last-chance votes Monday on crossover day at the Capitol. Crossover Day is the final day for a bill to move from one chamber to the other this year. Although there are ways around the rule, only a few bills each year successfully defy Crossover Day's deadline. BOB ANDRES / BANDRES@AJC.COM
