Show Notes
Thursday marked Crossover Day and there are only 12 more days left in the 2024 legislative session. Lawmakers have rushed to advance proposed bills in the State House and Senate. On today’s special edition of “Closer Look,” Rose talks with guests about some of the bills that are closer to becoming law, such as the Religious Liberty Bill, a measure opponents describe as anti-LGBTQ. Also advancing are pieces of legislation focused on first responders with PTSD, immigration and Georgia’s film tax credit. Guests will also discuss legislation that has struggled to advance, such as an effort to eliminate taxes on women’s menstrual products.
Guest include:
WABE’s politics reporter Rahul Bali
Gwinnett County Police Sergeant Ashley Wilson
Claire Cox, the Chair of Georgia STOMP
Jeff Graham, the executive director of Georgia Equality
