Georgia State Capitol

Today, my fellow House members and I overwhelmingly voted in support of Gov Kemp's  request for special powers to head off the COVID-19/Corona Virus outbreak in Georgia. 

My vote, as with many of my colleagues, came with conditions that the Governor exercise considerable restraint in the unprecedented power the Legislature granted to the Governor. 

The powers granted to the Gov by the Legislature expire in 30 days, April 13th, and must be reauthorized by April 15th, lest they will expire.

The Special Session report is the official recap of today's Special Session proceedings. 

As always, thank you for allowing me to serve as your State Representative, which I consider to be an honor and privilege.

With kind regards,

Jeff Jones
