What bills from Georgia’s 2025 session will Gov. Kemp sign?

See original article

Budget and Tax

A $37.8 billion spending plan was passed, allocating funds to prisons, education, healthcare, school vouchers, and tax credits for parents of young children. An accelerated income tax cut to 5.19% and tax rebates are also likely.

Transgender Rights

Two bills targeting transgender rights are awaiting the governor's signature: one banning transgender girls and women from women's sports, and another blocking gender-affirming care for prison inmates.

MAGA Policies

Legislation allowing Trump and co-defendants to recoup legal costs is under consideration, alongside a bipartisan overhaul of the compensation system for the wrongly convicted, and a controversial “America First” license plate.

Education and Schools

A compromise measure aims to improve information sharing between administrators and law enforcement regarding school safety following a mass shooting. A cellphone ban for K-8 students is also being considered, with some families urging a veto due to safety concerns.
