The bills listed on the floor as first reading included Senate Bill 21, Senate Bill 22, Senate Bill 23, Senate Bill 24, Bill 25, and Senate Bill 26. The transcript records short titles or chapter and title references for each bill but does not include full bill text or committee assignments in the floor reading.

Separately, Secretary Reed delivered a committee report: the Senate Committee on State and Local Governmental Operations reported Senate Bill 16 \"do pass\". The committee report was signed by Senator Clint Dixon, chairman of that committee, and placed on the record.

Floor-listed bills and the committee report were announced in sequence; no roll-call votes on the first-reading items were recorded in the transcript. The first-reading announcements typically signal referral to standing committees for review and are procedural steps in the legislative process.

Available text from the floor listed partial subject areas but not full sponsors or bill text for each item as read aloud: SB 21 referenced chapter 80 of title 36 relating to county provisions and public safety; SB 22 referenced article 2 of chapter 2 of title 20 (education and youth); SB 23 referenced retirement code provisions (title 47); SB 24 referenced ad valorem tax provisions (title 48); Bill 25 referenced article 2 of chapter 9 (details not specified); SB 26 referenced article 2 of chapter 7 of title 48 (imposition rate computation extensions). The committee report for SB 16 was announced as \"do pass\" by Senator Clint Dixon, chairman of the reporting committee.

The chamber moved on after the announcements; the transcript contains no substantive debate or floor votes on the first-reading items at the time they were called on the journal.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Legislative Day 6 | 2025 Legislative Session | 01/27/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On first reading the Senate introduced Senate bills 21 through 26 with limited detail in the chamber; the Senate committee on state and local governmental operations reported SB 16 \"do pass.\"","taxTitle","SENATE, Committees, Legislative, Georgia","taxId",17658,"location","Georgia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6362983,"Senate commends Martha Hathorn on 20th birthday, highlights employment inclusion",400,5198000,5598000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2167032-ad8bb50560382633adfe2b56d2a2effd&start=5198&end=5598","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2167032-ad8bb50560382633adfe2b56d2a2effd/thumbnail_5198000.jpg","/articles/6362983/Georgia/Senate-commends-Martha-Hathorn-on-20th-birthday-highlights-employment-inclusion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6362983-28d22d82a521d275745c2f4c1110b3dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048263&Signature=KMiXtD~lvOp~PT~asXpghTlPRjNKeBMul470k~d65fmXz5373hYfU2kfFPBSM-5q4e776MIxpAAtNdXW4pdxGKEZVDA5IMx3h1pdXVDgi6-bhyfMhd6IaW8JOECo5JMd22eMqDMhsMkFU~JeYDiz9wFFDe7CeVqf1eRzwKT7vJP3Qlnz1UGLmyQsh0gsk9M3Q04jlwQ98gaMD-3~TxSab5xnKDbV7mmbuHvuHIe8Ub7Xy~es69m4bj~qAvBQqixsMSn7hW6jHhSwQOygp56cneVuVrZbdEwwLYH4-IkhpbAFPSXlFSYDczkINMpc7k6-TSUU3Q6v8cK0d-SzHpiKKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Georgia Senate adopted Senate Resolution 37 on Jan. 27, 2025, commending Martha Hathorn on her 20th birthday and recognizing her public service and role in the anteroom staff.

The sponsor and other senators described Hathorn as \"an exemplary Georgian\" and said the hiring shows the chamber's commitment to inclusion.

Martha Hathorn addressed the chamber and said she applied for the job and values employment opportunities for people with disabilities, adding, \"my life is worth living.\" Senators presented Hathorn with a Senate helmet, a card and birthday acknowledgements on the chamber floor.

The resolution, introduced by Senator Halpern, passed without objection. The chamber heard remarks from Anat Sultan Dadon, the Consul General of Israel in Atlanta, who described the day as a solemn reminder of the Holocaust and called for active opposition to hatred and antisemitism.

Senate Resolution 36 notes that Jan. 27 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and honors the roughly 6,000,000 Jewish victims and millions of others murdered during the Holocaust. The resolution also references state efforts to preserve Holocaust memory, saying that the Georgia General Assembly established the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust in 1998 by passage of HB 1664.

Consul General Anat Sultan Dadon told the Senate that remembering the Holocaust requires action as well as memory. \"We all must be loud,\" she said, urging officials and citizens to take a clear moral stand against antisemitism. Dadon tied the commemoration to contemporary concerns about antisemitic incidents globally and cited recent hostages taken on Oct. 7, 2023, saying the chamber should not rest until those hostages are reunited with their families.

Lieutenant Governor and senators who spoke in support emphasized the state's commitment to education and remembrance. The resolution’s adoption was unanimous on the floor; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript and the chair announced, \"The resolution is adopted.\"

The Senate's action places formal recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on the record and reaffirms the state's support for the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust and related educational work.

Facing the Senate, Consul General Dadon warned that history will judge those who remain silent and urged continued vigilance against hatred and violence.","The Georgia Senate unanimously adopted Senate Resolution 36 recognizing Jan. 27, 2025, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day and heard remarks from the consul general of Israel condemning antisemitism and urging action.","actionData","errors"]
