The Georgia Legislature convenes today at 10 a.m. for the 37th day of the General Assembly.

The Senate will vote on monuments, statues and tax breaks. It is expected approve bills that would provide for a Ten Commandments monument and a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. and a bill giving tax breaks to back-to-school shoppers, video-game developments and people building huge regional development projects.

Legislation to make permanent a long-running tax break for customers of companies like Gulfstream may have a tougher time getting through.

A Senate committee will take up a bill requiring Legislative approval for expanding Medicaid and the medical marijuana bill.

The House Governmental Affairs committee will take up the controversial bill to create a city of Lakeside.
