Thursday Is Last Day of Georgia's Legislative Session

ATLANTA, GA -- Georgia lawmakers will consider several high-profile bills that will shape the lives of state residents Thursday, the last day of the legislative session.

Bills pertaining to medical marijuana, guns on college campuses, tax breaks for taxis and limos and private school donors are all on the table.

Lawmakers are expected to scramble throughout the day and night as the typical wheeling and dealing takes place that will no doubt drastically change many of the bills.

One of the larger pieces of legislation is the so-called "campus carry" bill, which would allow people with Georgia-issued permits to legally carry concealed handguns on some colleges and universities.

The bill was having trouble in the House, according to reporters on the scene at the Capitol.

Gov. Nathan Deal has also long expressed misgivings about the legislation, saying before he vetoed a similar measure last year that, "From the early days of our nation and state, colleges have been treated as sanctuaries of learning where firearms have not been allowed. To depart from such time-honored protections should require overwhelming justification. I do not find that such justification exists."
