Senate refers SB166 to Urban Affairs, passes local consent calendar 46–0 and sets adjournment
Summary
During Jan. 27 floor action the Senate referred SB166 to the Committee on Urban Affairs by unanimous consent, agreed to a local consent calendar (yeas 46, nays 0) and approved adjournment until Jan. 28, 2026. Several bills were given notice for future consideration.
The Georgia Senate handled routine legislative business on Jan. 27, moving several bills through first-reading procedures, reassigning at least one bill to a different committee, and passing a local consent calendar unanimously.
A senator asked unanimous consent to withdraw Senate Bill 166 from the Committee on State and Local Government Operations and to commit it to the Committee on Urban Affairs. The clerk read the caption for SB166 in full. With no objection, the Senate referred SB166 to the Committee on Urban Affairs.
Later the Senate considered the local consent calendar. No objections had been filed to the local consent items; on the floor vote the yeas were recorded as 46 and the nays 0. The chair announced that the bills on the local consent calendar had received the requisite constitutional majority and were passed.
Members also provided notice under Senate rules of intent to move consideration of house action on other bills on future legislative days, including SB9 (obscenity/AI sentencing provisions), SB148 (outdoor learning spaces pilot program for public schools), and SB170 (creation of a Georgia interagency council for the homeless). The majority leader moved that the Senate adjourn until 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026; the motion carried by voice vote and the Senate adjourned.
