Georgia lawmakers begin their latest session of the General Assembly on January 9, but they’re not expecting to get much work done.
It’s likely that lawmakers will adjourn around noon on the first day of the legislative session, giving many of them enough time to make the flight to California to catch Georgia and TCU in the college football championship. A light schedule is expected on Tuesday, January 10th as well to give legislators, state officials and others time to return from the west coast.
The annual Eggs and Issues Breakfast, which is often used by the Governor to roll out economic policies, will be held on January 11, with the Governor’s inauguration on Thursday, January 12.
It’s not the first time legislative leaders have taken steps to accommodate Georgia fans. In 2018, lawmakers adjourned on the first day of the session ahead of Georgia’s championship game against Alabama. Last year, the legislature took a short break after the opening gavel to allow legislators to travel to Indianapolis to watch UGA win its first national championship in football in about four decades.
