Mr. Beverly: I would like to respond to your article concerning traffic at the new middle school in Peachtree City. There have been several accusations leveled at the school board and school system in this article and I would like to respond.

Fellow Georgians, Last week was the last full week of Session, and it was an incredibly busy one! Our final day of Session is Wednesday, March 31, when we will have a final adjournment. Last week, as many of you may know, we passed Senate Bill 202 - the Election Integrity Act of 2021. I will post a detailed summary of Senate Bill 202 on my Facebook page and my website. Additionally, last week, the House voted on over fifty pieces of legislation, passing legislation that will empower Georgians to build strong businesses, raise happy, secure, and healthy families, and continue making our state the best in the nation.

Subcommittee Chairman Dale Washburn (R-Macon) called up one bill, HB 611, authored by Representative Mike Cheokas (R-Americus). HB 611 seeks to provide a new definition in O.C.G.A. 50-5-121(3) for the term, ‘small business.’ This legislation was brought to the General Assembly by Scott Hilton with the Georgia First Commission. The new definition creates three tiers:
Tier 1 - 10 or fewer employees or $1 million or less in gross receipts per year;
Tier 2 - 100 or fewer employees or $10 million or less in gross receipts per year; and
Tier 3 - 300 or fewer employees or $30 million or less in gross receipts per year.
