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 […]
The Holland Report- 2025, Week 7
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.

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 […]
The Holland Report- 2025, Week 3
Welcome to Week 3! After wintery weather closed down the Capitol last week, we're back in action this week with legislative days six through nine. 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 […]
The Holland Report - 2024, Week 12
That’s a Wrap! At 12:59 am in the wee hours of March 29, the Georgia General Assembly adjourned Sine Die. The last week of session may be remembered for what didn’t pass as much as what did. Several worrisome bills never progressed to the House floor for a vote, and a handful of good measures […]
The Holland Report - 2024, Week 11
Christmas Trees, Stripping, and Other Shenanigans as We Near the Finish LineAs we might expect, the week of legislative days 36, 37 and 39 was brutal. Good bills that passed the House are now being stripped of their original language and new, unrelated language substituted instead. Other bills are now picking up amendments (like ornaments […]
The Holland Report - 2024, Week 10
Things Heat Up with Only Five Days Left to Go!With less than two weeks and only five legislative days left in the session, things are heating up at the Capitol. Committees are rushing to pass out bills, local legislation is getting dropped just ahead of the Day 35 deadline, and debates are growing longer on […]
