Georgia Legislature Ends Session with Tax Cuts and Unresolved Election Measures
The Georgia General Assembly concluded its 2026 legislative session with significant developments, including the passage of income and property tax cuts. These measures, if signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp, aim to reduce the tax burden on residents. However, the session ended without resolving key election-related issues, notably the removal of QR codes from ballots, which remains unfunded. This has led to calls for a special session to address the matter. Additionally, the legislature approved access to contraceptives without a prescription and passed a bill to improve third-grade reading scores. Despite these achievements, the failure to address data center tax breaks has sparked community outrage.
