Georgia’s 2021 Legislative session adjourned sine die on March 31.
Among the measures passed is Senate Bill 202, which was signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp on March 25 and made sweeping changes to the State’s voting laws, including bans on mass mailings of unsolicited absentee ballot requests and polling places on buses among other changes.
Another controversial bill, Senate Bill 221, also passed and currently awaits gubernatorial approval.
Senate Bill 221 allows certain elected officials to chair and register PACs called a leadership committee which is not subject to the in-session contribution ban.
Further, contributions to and expenditures by these leadership committees are not subject to the state’s contribution limits.
Governor Kemp will have just over a month to consider action on Senate Bill 221, as well as, the other bills passed during the session.
