Time is running out. Thursday marks Sine Die, the last day of the 2024 Georgia legislative session. In a last-ditch effort, lawmakers are busy reviewing hundreds of bills.

On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” WABE politics reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali discuss the latest proposed bills that have stalled and others that are advancing in the legislature.

Bali discusses legislation involving sports betting, the Georgia film tax credit, police speed traps, wrongful convictions, and PTSD care for first responders. Gringlas discusses “culture war” bills and legislation involving the election and Medicaid expansion.
