The countdown is on to the legislative session’s final day and lawmakers are lurching to another jam-packed ending. The calendar on Tuesday, though, is light as ever.
The Senate will vote on a measure that would make it illegal to clog the passing lane, allowing cops to punish left-lane lurkers with a misdemeanor.
Over in the House, lawmakers will decide whether to allow nonprofit museums to make liquor. The force behind that legislation? The Atlanta History Center apparently wants to build a still to recreate a historic setting.
But some of the biggest action is reserved for the committees. At 1 p.m., a Senate panel will unveil its rewrite of controversial firearm legislation, which critics have dubbed the "guns everywhere" bill. Expect changes to language that allows guns in churches and on campuses.
Other measures that would restrict insurance companies from covering abortions and allow the state to privatize Georgia's foster care system also face key committee hurdles.
