History

The Georgia House of Representatives was created in {{start date and age|1777|p=y}} during the American Revolution, making it older than the U.S. Congress. During its existence, its meeting place has moved multiple times, from Savannah to Augusta, to Louisville, to Milledgeville and finally to Atlanta in 1868.[http://www.sos.state.ga.us/state_capitol/capitolguide/handout21.htm The Capitalization of Georgia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060412042438/http://www.sos.state.ga.us/state_capitol/capitolguide/handout21.htm |date=April 12, 2006 }}, [http://sos.state.ga.us Georgia State Government] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130306171757/http://www.sos.state.ga.us/ |date=March 6, 2013 }}. (accessed June 2, 2013)

In 1867, the military governor of Georgia called for an assembly in Atlanta to discuss a constitutional convention. Atlanta officials moved to make the city Georgia's new state capital, donating the location of Atlanta's first city hall. The constitutional convention agreed and the people voted to ratify the decision on April 20, 1868. The Georgia General Assembly first presided in Atlanta on July 4, 1868.

On October 26, 1884, construction began on a new state capitol and was first occupied on June 15, 1889.

Powers and privileges

The state constitution gives the state legislature the power to make state laws, restrict land use to protect and preserve the environment and natural resources, form a state militia under the command of the governor of Georgia, expend public money, condemn property, zone property, participate in tourism, and control and regulate outdoor advertising.[http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/conart3.htm Article III Section VI] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071209140427/http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/conart3.htm |date=December 9, 2007 }}, Georgia Constitution (accessed June 2, 2013)

The state legislature cannot grant incorporation to private persons but may establish laws governing the incorporation process. It is also prohibited from authorizing contracts or agreements that may have the effect of or the intent of lessening competition or encouraging a monopoly.

=Privileges=

Members of the Georgia House of Representatives maintain two privileges during their time in office. First, no member can be arrested during session or during committee meetings except in cases of treason, felony, or "breach of the peace". Second, members are not liable for anything they might say in session or committee meetings.
