Overall, Frontline endorsed over 65 bills, we drafted 22 pieces of legislation, and we testified 58 times. We are still waiting for a final count of wins, but we are proud to have seen:
School Choice Expanded: Parents and students are now empowered with more educational options. SB 233 starts that process by opening the door for children in failing schools - giving them the opportunity to attend a school that can help them succeed.
Tax Cuts Increased: have put more money back in the pockets of homeowners, with the homestead tax exemption increase, an acceleration of the income tax cuts, and a raise in the dependent exemption tax from $3k to $4k under HB 1021.
Immigration Laws Strengthened: HB 1105 mandates cooperation with federal law enforcement and the detention of illegal immigrants after committing a crime, ensuring that our immigration law are enforced.
Protecting Our Children Online: Georgia now has the “gold standard” for protecting children online - with a nation’s strongest social media protection bill and a pornography age verification that could break the back of the porn industry in our state!
Stopping Gambling Expansion: Up against an overwhelming hoard of lobbyists, we've halted the expansion of gambling, upholding Georgia's values and prioritizing the well-being of our citizens.
Banning Central Bank Digital Currency: Georgia agencies are now prohibited from accepting CBDCs as payment, protecting Georgia citizens from government overreach.
At our Capitol, there were economic wins, victories for election integrity, public safety, freedom, and family values - with Georgia trending more conservative after the 40 legislative days.
But there’s still a lot to be done.
There were missed opportunities for substantial victories that we had hoped to secure. While we are disappointed, we now leave the Capitol equipped with our agenda for next year. We are coming back with a bigger agenda, committed to reversing tonight’s disappointments, and ready to build a highly successful 2025.
We are committed to finally passing RFRA, battling against wicked gender ideology, establishing greater freedoms, a culture of life, and empowering families.
Thank you for your unwavering support, for believing in our mission, and for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us in this fight. Here's to many more victories ahead, for His glory and for Georgia.
With Gratitude,
