Thursday was Crossover Day in the Georgia General Assembly, one of the busiest days of the year at the Capitol where legislators voted on dozens of bills.

Crossover Day is the deadline for bills to pass at least one legislative chamber — either the House or Senate — to have a chance of becoming law this year.

Lawmakers had already passed bills to cut taxes, ban THC-infused drinks, relax medical marijuana rules and address school safety.

Among other measures, votes were planned on proposals to withhold funding from schools with diversity programs, ban drones made in China and build a statue of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The AJC Politics team covered in realtime one of the most important — and exhausting — days in the legislative calendar.
