About legislative sessions in Georgia

TheTenth Amendment of theU.S. Constitution declares that any power not already given to the federal government is reserved to the states and the people.^[33] State governments across the country use this authority to hold legislative sessions where a state's elected representatives meet for a period of time to draft and vote on legislation and set state policies on issues such as taxation, education, and government spending. The different types of legislation passed by a legislature may include resolutions,legislatively referred constitutional amendments, and bills that become law.

Section 4 of Article III of the Georgia Constitution establishes when theGeorgia General Assembly, which the Senate is a part of, is to meet in regular session. The General Assembly must convene annually by the second Monday in January, and its sessions can last for only forty legislative days.^[34] Prefiling begins November 15 and runs until the start of the session.

The state operates on an annual budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:^[37]

1. InJuly of the year preceding the start of the new fiscal year, thegovernor sends budget instructions to state agencies.
2. InSeptember, agencies submit their budget requests to the governor.
3. Budget hearings are held with the public inJanuary through February.
4. InJanuary, the governor submits his or her proposed budget to thestate legislature.
5. The legislature adopts a budget inMarch orApril, effective for the fiscal year beginning onJuly 1. A simple majority is required to pass a budget.

The governor is constitutionally required to submit a balanced budget to the legislature. In turn, the legislature must pass a balanced budget, and any budget signed into law by the governor must be balanced.^[37]

Georgia is one of 44 states in which the governor hasline item veto authority.^[37][38]
