The Georgia State Senate convened on March 21, 2025, to discuss several legislative matters, including the approval of Senate Bill 83, which pertains to a homestead exemption for the Bartow County School District.

During the session, the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of the motion to agree with the House's substitute for Senate Bill 83. The bill aims to provide a homestead exemption from local taxes for educational purposes, calculated based on the difference between the current year's assessed value of a homestead and its adjusted base year assessed value. The vote concluded with 55 senators in favor and none opposed, indicating strong bipartisan support for the measure.

Senator Hussettler, representing the 52nd district, introduced the bill and highlighted its importance for residents in Bartow County. The discussion also acknowledged the involvement of the senator from the 37th district, emphasizing collaborative efforts in the legislative process.

Following the approval of Senate Bill 83, the majority leader moved to adjourn the session until 10 AM on Tuesday, March 25. The Senate also announced upcoming committee meetings, including the Science and Technology Committee and the Rules Committee, scheduled to convene after adjournment.

This session marked a significant step in advancing local tax relief measures aimed at supporting educational funding in Bartow County, reflecting the Senate's commitment to addressing community needs through legislative action.
