Ga. Lawmakers Wrap Up Productive 2015 Legislative Session

WABE Capitol correspondents Michelle Wirth and Johnathan Shapiro summarize the just-concluded 2015 Georgia legislative session on “A Closer Look.”

Georgia lawmakers have wrapped up a busy 2015 legislative session.

The session ended late Thursday with the Senate working past the midnight deadline.

Lawmakers did not pass a controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA measure, but they did pass budget and transportation bills. They also agreed on a medical marijuana bill and a measure that provides insurance coverage for autistic children.

Capitol correspondents Michelle Wirth, who covers the Senate, and Jonathan Shapiro, who covers the House, summarized one of the most productive sessions of the legislature in recent years  on WABE’s “A Closer Look.”
