In Georgia, what cannot be included in a single legislative bill?

In Georgia, the constitutional requirement is that a legislative bill must address only one subject matter. This principle, often referred to as the "single-subject rule," is designed to promote clarity and focus within legislation, ensuring that legislators and the public can easily understand the implications of the bill being considered. This rule helps prevent "logrolling," where unrelated issues are bundled together, making it difficult for lawmakers to vote on specific components of a bill.

While amendments to previous laws, emergency measures, and funding provisions can all be included in legislative bills, they must all pertain to the same subject to comply with this single-subject rule. Thus, including more than one subject in a single legislative bill would violate Georgia's constitutional requirements. This is crucial for maintaining legislative transparency and the integrity of the legislative process.
