Rules committee advances multiple bills to the general calendar, motion carries unanimously
Summary
The Rules Committee selected and advanced SR697, SR698, HB521, HB535, HB983, HB1000 and HB1196 to the general rules calendar by a unanimous committee motion; HB445 was separately moved earlier in the session.
On March 12, 2026, the Georgia Senate Rules Committee approved a motion to advance a batch of measures to the general rules calendar. The chair stated the committee’s selections included SR697, SR698, HB521, HB535, HB983, HB1000 and HB1196; earlier in the meeting the chair had also moved HB445 from standing committee to the general rules calendar and the motion carried unanimously.
The chair recognized a motion from the vice chairman and a second; the transcript records the motion as “carried unanimous.” The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. Several bills were introduced and discussed earlier in the session (for example, HB1000 and HB1196 received substantive presentations and Q&A); other items were moved with minimal discussion.
The committee adjourned after taking the selections. Each advanced bill must be scheduled on the general calendar for floor action in due course.
