The Georgia State Legislature is the legislative branch of the state government of Georgia. It is a bicameral body, meaning it has two chambers: the Georgia House of Representatives and the Georgia Senate. Together, these chambers are responsible for making state laws, approving the state budget, and representing the interests of Georgia's citizens. The legislature meets annually at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta. Each chamber has its own leadership, with the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate overseeing their respective bodies. The legislature plays a crucial role in shaping policies that affect various aspects of life in Georgia.
