Prefiling of bills begins for 2012 session

ATLANTA - Georgia legislators may begin to submit bills in advance of the 2012 legislative session.

Prefiling of bills begins Monday at the state Capitol.

Because 2012 is the second of a 2-year legislative cycle, those bills introduced last year which failed to move forward are still up for consideration. Many lawmakers file bills before the session starts to get a jump start on the busy schedule once the session starts.

Next year's legislative session begins Jan. 9.

Taxes and job creation are expected to be hot topics at the Capitol.
