Intro to the GA General Assembly

This Virtual ST&T presentation will discuss how bills become laws, how the state budget is created, and how citizens can effectively engage with state and local governments. We also look at the various governmental structures that local jurisdictions can adopt. Finally, we learn about the current issues affecting Georgia, such as redistricting and voting. By knowing the inner workings of state and local governments, we learn how to effectively make change.
