Crossover Day roundup: Reaction to bills on religious liberty, immigration, PTSD
It’s been a busy eight weeks for Georgia lawmakers. Thursday marked Crossover Day for the 2024 legislative session. Lawmakers have rushed to advance proposed bills in the state House and Senate.
On Friday’s special edition of “Closer Look,” host Rose Scott talked with guests about some of the bills closer to becoming law, such as SB 180, the Georgia Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a measure described by opponents as anti-LGBTQ.
Also advancing are pieces of legislation focused on first responders with PTSD, immigration and Georgia’s film tax credit. Guests also discussed 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
