AIA Georgia tracked and became involved in a large number of legislative bills in the last Session of the Georgia General Assembly Session. Many passed – including the Historic Building Tax Credit and Public-Private Partnership bills – and are now laws. The Georgia legislative cycle, though, works in two year increments. That means that many bills that were active in 2015 will also be "live" at the beginning of the 2016 Session (which will begin in January).
