Crossover Day:
Make-or-break time looms for state legislation
Crossover Day at the state Capitol in Atlanta is fast
approaching. Legislation must pass out of the House or
Senate, wherever it originates, by midnight Friday, or else
it will die this year.
While big-ticket items, such as a $1 billion transportation
bill and education reform, have dominated the news,
several other proposals deserve attention.

The Tesla law - HB 393 u
No-knock warrants - SB 159 u
Early voting - HB 194 u
LGBT protections - HB 323 u
Plastic bags - SB 139 u
marijuana - HB 1 & SB185 u
