Georgia State Senate
The Georgia Senate is the upper chamber of the Georgia General Assembly. Alongside the Georgia House of Representatives, it forms the legislative branch of state government and works with the governor of Georgia to create laws and establish a state budget.
Legislative authority and responsibilities of the Georgia Senate include passing bills on public policy matters, setting levels for state spending, raising and lowering taxes, and voting to uphold or override gubernatorial vetoes. There are 56 state senators and they are elected every four years in the same election. They convene in January each year to set an annual operating budget, amend the current year's budget, and craft laws that range from promoting business to keeping health care spending in check.
