Georgia legislators clocked out unusually early Friday night, leaving behind stacks of unfinished bills as the 2025 session came to a close.
Among the abandoned measures: a bill to withhold puberty blockers from teens, a ban on transgender-related care coverage for employees on the state health plan, and a proposal to financially penalize colleges and schools that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
A “Red Tape Rollback” bill and a sweeping election law overhaul also failed to pass. Additionally, a measure to place restrictions on school zone speed cameras was approved by the House—but the Senate had already adjourned before it could act.
