Georgia’s 2018 legislative session is in the books. The House and Senate passed a number of bills on Sine Die, the final day of the session, while others died without a vote.

Early in the day, the state legislature approved a $26.2 billion budget for fiscal year 2019.

It includes more money for the state’s financial contribution toward Kindergarten through 12th grade education. The state hasn’t fully funded its share in more than a decade.
