Georgia lawmakers set education priorities for remainder of session, including controversial library law

Crossover Day comes just over two-thirds into the Georgia legislative session. Held on Feb. 29 for the 2024 Georgia Legislative Session, the day is both a deadline and a landmark.

Crossover Day is a procedural due date; a bill must pass at least one full vote in its originating chamber by Crossover Day if it has any hope of becoming law. If it does, the bill will “cross” chambers to be considered and, eventually, voted on once more.

The Gold Dome buzzes with an air of anticipation, with the ceremonial-like day prompting lawmakers to signal what they are most serious about bringing to term.
