Each year during the Legislative Session the United Tea Party of Georgia runs through all active legislation and pulls out bills we believe are of interest to those in our group. We produce a PowerPoint and present this legislation at our meetings.
The PowerPoint is available below and, as with everything on this site, you are free to take it, modify it, and use it in any way you see fit, with or without credit. Use it for your personal edification or change it and present it to your group.
The PowerPoint has over 60 slides. A few of the bills contained in the presentation from the 2019-2020 session at are:
