That’s correct! The Georgia Legislative Branch is a bicameral body composed of two chambers: the Georgia House of Representatives and the Georgia Senate. Here are some key points about its functions and responsibilities:
1. **Legislation**: Members of both chambers introduce bills and resolutions. A bill must be passed by both the House and Senate before it can be sent to the Governor for approval or veto.
2. **Approving the State Budget**: The legislature is responsible for approving the state’s budget, which outlines government spending and funding for various programs and services.
3. **Regulating Commerce**: The legislature has the authority to create laws that regulate businesses and economic activities within the state, ensuring fair practices and consumer protection.
4. **Oversight and Policy Making**: Legislators establish policies that impact education, healthcare, transportation, and other key areas affecting the lives of Georgia’s residents.
5. **Representation**: Legislators represent the interests of their constituents, advocating for local needs and concerns within the legislative process.
6. **Committee Work**: Much of the legislative work takes place in committees, where bills are reviewed, debated, and amended before being brought to the full chamber for a vote.
The Georgia General Assembly meets annually under a regular session, usually beginning in January and lasting for 40 consecutive legislative days.
