Crossover Day Arrives

Crunch-time has arrived for state lawmakers in the General Assembly session. Today is 'Crossover Day', the final chance for a bill with a start in one chamber to pass to the other chamber for a vote.

Among the issues and legislation to watch: In the House, a battle is on-tap over the proposal to do-away-with the yearly property tax on cars and trucks. Over in the Senate, it's gearing for a fight over legislation to restrict embryonic stem cell research in Georgia.

To follow the dozens of bills on this frenzied Day-30 of the Session, be sure to check back with state news this afternoon and on tonight’s Georgia Gazette on GPB Radio. You can also check our Georgia News Blog anytime by going to gpb.org.
