Despite passing the Senate on March 3 and clearing the House Technology Committee on March 27, SB-111 by Sen. John Albers (R) remained pending in the House Judiciary Committee as of Thursday. The Judiciary panel didn’t have a meeting scheduled Thursday or Friday. In addition, the House calendar for the final legislative day, Friday, didn’t include SB-111.

Georgia’s legislature is in the first year of a two-year cycle, so SB-111 could return when lawmakers reconvene in January, or earlier if the governor were to call a special session in the interim.

Albers didn’t comment Thursday.
