Crossover Day at the Georgia General Assembly was last Friday!

Crossover Day is the deadline for a bill to pass out of its originating chamber (for example, if a bill was introduced in the Senate it must pass out of the Senate by Crossover Day). The constitutional amendment on sports betting came to a vote on Friday, but it DID NOT PASS! Of the 120 votes needed, it only got 63 votes. The picture above shows how your House member voted. Thank you to everyone who contacted their legislator about this! 🙌🏼 Two bills we support that did pass in time for Crossover Day are the “Safe Place for Newborns Act” and SB 591. The “Safe Place for Newborns Act” would legalize the placement of Newborn Safety Devices in designated areas for anonymous newborn drop-off, accessible by first responders. SB 591 prohibits the disruption of religious services. If you want more information on the bills we are tracking, head over to our website and check out our Crossover Day blog post! #CitizenImpactUSA
