After Monday night’s marathon session with the gavel sounding close to 2am, House members reconvened today to a significantly lighter calendar.

The House considered and quickly passed two senate measures, one which pertains to the distribution of state flags for the purposes of honoring certain public officials. 

The legislation provides for the honoring of Georgia Public Safety Officers who are killed in the line of duty or who have passed away following extended service to the public of the state of Georgia by providing State flags in their honor.

Senate Bill 381 was approved and sent to the governor’s desk with a vote of 148 to 0.

The other Senate measure considered was SB 436 which passed by a vote of 151 to 0.

The measure makes some simple changes affecting meetings held by the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.
