Voted to accept the Senate's final version of HB 1247, the 'Georgia Bureaucratic Deference Elimination Act.' The Georgia House agreed 98-70 and the bill became law as Act 718. The law bars courts from deferring to a state agency's own reading of laws and rules. Its 'Red Tape Rollback Act of 2026' sets new steps for writing rules. It also makes each agency send the Office of Planning and Budget a review of its own rules. The law opens to the public any settlement of an unlawful employment practice claim against a member of the General Assembly. The claimant's name is removed, but the member is named. A separate part requires some privately funded groups that shelter or serve homeless people to take part in Georgia's Homeless Management Information System. That duty is narrow. It reaches only groups within 1,000 feet of a school, college, child care center, public park, or playground. It applies in one metro area, not statewide, and skips groups that served fewer than ten people in the past year. A group that does not take part gets a non-criminal citation.

Voted to accept the Senate's change to Georgia's scrap metal bill and send it to the governor. This was the Georgia House's last vote on Senate Bill 40. The House agreed 91-63, and it became law as Act 278. The Senate's change did one thing. It added nonmetal waste from shredding cars and appliances to a $1 per ton fee. Host local governments must charge that fee at privately run landfills and keep the money. The rest of the bill, written and passed by the House earlier, targets metal theft. It brings used, detached catalytic converters under the scrap metal recycler law. Those are car exhaust parts that hold valuable metals. It keeps a $100 limit on cash paid to a seller per deal, and two deals per seller a day. It bans cash entirely for catalytic converters, coils, used utility wire, communications copper, copper wire, and batteries. Recyclers pay the sheriff $200 to register and $200 a year to renew. The bill deleted the old rule that split each $200 fee between the Georgia Sheriffs' Association and the county. A sheriff may instead pay a county or city to handle registrations and log them in a Sheriffs' Association registry.

That follows state auditor findings of money mismanagement or the worst level of state monitoring. In districts flagged as high risk, a superintendent's contract may not run longer than 12 months. Some auditor findings became grounds to fire a superintendent for cause. Early advances of state money are capped at half the district's state funds from the year before.

Up to $1,750 of overtime pay and $1,750 of cash tips became free of state income tax. People 65 and older may leave out more retirement income.
