Georgia lawmakers kicked off the 2022 legislative session on Monday, January 10, 2022. With a budget surplus of approximately 2.2 billion, education and tax relief are taking center stage. Governor Kemp 
announced $2,000 raises for teachers and the intent to fully fund Georgia’s Quality Basic Education formula (QBE). A tax rebate plan to return some of the surplus money to Georgia taxpayers was also announced and a hot topic in the general assembly is expected to be the state income tax and its possible alternatives.
