WABE's Week In Review: Lawmakers rush to pass bills before Crossover Day and one year on from the spa shootings

Inside the Georgia State Capitol on Crossover Day, the last day for proposed bills to pass at least one chamber of the legislature and remain viable this session.

At the state Capitol, bills need to pass at least one chamber by midnight on Crossover Day, which was Tuesday, to have a chance of making it to the governor’s desk this legislative session.

Scores of bills made the move. Follow Rahul Bali and Sam Gringlas who have lived at the Capitol this session.

Among some of the bigger moves is a Republican-backed election bill that allows the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to initiate election fraud investigations. It also restricts county election offices from accepting grants from non-profits to help administer elections. And allows the public to inspect original paper ballots, among other measures. The changes start in July, after the primary but before the general election.
