Taxes, electricity costs, and elections emerge as top topics for final weeks of Georgia legislative session

Georgia legislators are preparing for fierce debates on tax cuts, data centers, and voting during the final sprint of lawmaking this year.

After last week’s deadline for bills to pass either the House or Senate, the General Assembly’s priorities have come into focus.

The Republican majority’s surviving proposals include reducing Georgia’s income tax rate from 5.19% to 3.99% over time, along with a cap on annual property tax increases at 3% or the inflation rate.
