Georgia Public Broadcasting's Lawmakers program returns for its 40th season of coverage of the Georgia General Assembly. The week nightly series airs every night the Assembly convenes for the duration of the legislative session. In 2010, Lawmakers will be hosted by Nwandi Lawson and Susan Hoffman. Lawmakers is the program to watch for daily, in-depth coverage of the state legislature, and to keep up with the issues and people that affect your taxes, jobs, schools and environment.

Tonight on Lawmakers, a bill that would allow Georgia’s Governor to appoint the Commissioners of Labor, Insurance and Agriculture as well as the State School Superintendent passes out of committee; an amendment aimed to thwart federal healthcare legislation fails to pass the Senate; a bill that intends to capture unreported taxes at point of sale from business owners passes the House; and our leadership series of interviews continues with Senate President Pro Tem Tommie Williams. All that and more tonight.

Tonight on Lawmakers, the Senate passes a measure making it illegal to text while driving; a bill that supporters say puts common sense into zero tolerance laws clears the Senate; regional transportation funding in the form of transportation special local option sales taxes, or T-SPLOSTs, takes an important step as it clears House committee; and it’s the end of another legislative week- that means it’s time to check in with Tom Crawford of The Georgia Report. All that and more tonight.
