Legislative Agenda
Each year, the League adopts a legislative agenda which identifies specific areas the League will focus during the legislative session. Some items are actively lobbied for or against while others are monitored for information dissemination to members throughout the state. The agenda is set by consensus of the state Board of Directors each November for the following January.
The League’s priorities include:
Safeguarding democracy in Georgia
Strengthening democracy and encouraging accountability from elected officials
Examples of ongoing issues include:
Improving education
Preserving natural resources
Women’s and children’s health issues
Quality childcare
Violence prevention
Child safety
