Representative Sheila Jones | District 60

 The Georgia General Assembly started the first day of the 2026 legislative session on Monday, January 12, 2026. The House of Representatives along with the Senate, make up our state lawmaking body called the Georgia General Assembly. 

Most civilian federal employees are placed in one of three categories: furloughed, excepted or exempt. Furloughed employees stop working during a shutdown and aren’t paid until the end of the shutdown. Excepted employees continue to work, but similarly are not paid until after the shutdown is over.

Here are the bills that I have sponsored and co-sponsored during the 2023 Legislative Session.
