The Holland Report - 2025, Week 12
Week 12 Sine Die - the last day of the Georgia legislative session - commenced last Friday, April 4. Last week included working into the evening on several nights as we convened to pass legislation and approve bills as amended by the Senate. Sine Die traditionally lasts into the wee hours of the morning […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 11
Week 11 I can't believe Sine Die is already upon us! Last week included legislative days 34 through 37 with the continued trend of voting on mostly bipartisan legislation.We know there are several bad bills moving through House committees, so I'm bracing myself for what Week 12, our last three legislative days, has in store […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 10
Week 10 It's hard to believe, but we have only two weeks left in the 2025 legislative session. We worked our way through legislative days 32 through 34 this week with lots of committee meetings, passage of Senate bills and a special milestone for me - I carried my first general bill in the […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 9
Week 9 With all of the activity of Cross Over Day behind us, we enjoyed a quieter week this week as we worked through legislative days 29 - 31. With three weeks left in the session, Senate bills are quickly making their way through House committees and to the floor for a vote. While […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 8
View this email in your browser We Made It Through Cross Over Day! It was an unusually agreeable Cross Over Day. Most "bad bills" never made it out of Rules Committee, leaving mostly bi-partisan, uncontroversial bills to vote on the floor. That isn't to say these bills will not make a comeback as we progress […]

Week 7 With Cross Over Day fast approaching, Week 7 had the Capitol buzzing with activity. During legislative days 22 through 25, the number of bills coming up for debate and a vote each day kept increasing. Expect the pace to continue to quicken as we head towards Cross Over Day on Thursday. While […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 6
Welcome to Week 6! It's hard to believe, but we're now more than halfway through this year's legislative session! Friday marked Legislative Day 21, and (much like last year) the House continues to pass legislation that's largely uncontroversial while the Senate seems to be making headlines. We had fun this week celebrating Fulton Day […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 5
Welcome to Week 5! During legislative days 14 through 17, it felt like things were coming alive in the House chamber. Committees are now meeting regularly, and we are voting on bills each day on the floor. Advocates showed up in throngs this week to talk about issues ranging from human trafficking to attracting […]
The Holland Report - 2025, Week 4
Welcome to Week 4! As we shifted from the wintery weather to spring-like temperatures, we also shifted into gear for legislative days 10 through 13 in the Georgia House. Committee meetings were in full swing, and the Capitol was filled with special guests and celebrations. And we managed to pass the midyear budget ahead of […]

This week, committee meetings started to fill the calendar, and we expect votes on the legislation to begin in the House by next week. We heard from Chief Justice […]
