Here is what GA’s Gen. Assembly Should Prioritize: Lower Taxes, Less Red Tape, More Jobs

LIBRE Highlights 2026 Priorities for Georgia General Assembly

Atlanta, GA — This week marked the beginning of Georgia’s 2026 Legislative Session, and LIBRE Georgia is ready to get to work advocating for policies that expand opportunity, lower costs, and empower Hispanic and Latino families across the Peach State.

Throughout the session, LIBRE Georgia will engage lawmakers and community members on key policy priorities focused on economic freedom, limited government, and prosperity for all Georgians. These efforts will include bringing Latino leaders and advocates to the State Capitol to meet directly with legislators and participate in lobby days that elevate the voices of hardworking families and entrepreneurs.

Legislative Priorities for 2026 include:

• Regulatory Reform: Advancing commonsense reforms such as REINS and red tape rollback to rein in costly regulations that burden small businesses and working families.
• Tax Relief: Supporting property tax reform and the elimination of Georgia’s state income tax to help families keep more of what they earn.
• Voluntary Portable Benefits: Expanding access to voluntary, portable benefits for independent contractors and self-employed workers.
• Georgia Guest Worker Program: Supporting a state-administered guest worker program through the Department of Labor to help address workforce shortages by allowing qualified foreign workers to fill critical jobs.
• International Medical Graduates Legislation: Creating a pathway for certain foreign-trained doctors to obtain medical licensure in Georgia, increasing access to care in underserved communities.
• Housing Affordability: Addressing rising housing costs through permitting and regulatory reform to encourage new housing development.

Stefanie Zaenker, LIBRE-GA Strategic Director, released the following statement:

“As Georgia’s legislative session begins, LIBRE Georgia is excited to work alongside lawmakers to advance policies that lower costs and remove barriers to opportunity. Hispanic and Latino families deserve freedom-oriented solutions that allow them to work, build businesses, and achieve the American Dream. We look forward to connecting our community with their elected officials and advocating for reforms that increase prosperity across our state.”
