	georgia.gov - Legislature
		The Georgia General Assembly, the formal title of the legislature, was formed in 1777 and is older than the United States Congress. At the time of its origin, the legislature consisted of a single house, but in 1789 it became a bicameral body, consisting of a House of Representatives and a Senate.
		The House of Representatives and Senate operate with similar powers, except that appropriation bills must originate in the House, while confirmation of the Governor’s appointments rests with the Senate. The concurrence of both bodies is necessary before any bill may become a law.
		The House of Representatives has 180 members and the Senate has 56. Two-year terms of office apply to both houses, and the entire membership of each body is elected at the same time.

		This Bill includes the redistricting of the Georgia Senate after a Federal District Court declared the previous actions of Georgia to be in violation of federal law.
		Because Georgia has a history of voting rights violations, before any action can be taken, the Courts must determine if Georgia’s maps have been drawn so as to negatively affect fl voting strength.
		The entire map and redistricting process is an embarrassment to all citizens of the State of Georgia and should not be condoned.
