The bill died in the legislative process in May 2025 and never became law, so no concrete policy changes were implemented.

This bill, LC 1897, aimed to repeal a requirement for state agencies to submit annual grant information reports to the legislative finance committee. If passed, it would have eliminated this administrative burden for agencies currently preparing and submitting these reports.

It aimed to revise the method for choosing these commissioners, though the specific mechanisms (such as appointment vs. election rules) are not detailed in the provided context.

It died in process on May 27, 2025, meaning it was never voted on or enacted.

It was placed on hold the same day and ultimately died in process on May 27, 2025. The bill's title suggests it aimed to revise immigration-related laws, but no specific provisions or policy changes were developed or introduced. The term "illegal aliens" is outdated; official policy now uses terms like "noncitizens" or "people without legal status." Since the bill died in committee, it did not affect any laws or people.

As a procedural study request, it did not create new laws or directly affect any specific groups.

LC 3136 would have prohibited state government from issuing business licenses, contracts, or grants to nonprofit organizations that transport or assist undocumented immigrants. It directly affected nonprofit groups providing immigration-related services, such as legal aid or transportation support.

However, the bill never advanced beyond drafting and died in process on May 27, 2025, so it did not become law.
