Georgia Governor Brian Kemp pledged Wednesday to continue pushing major tort reform legislation when the Georgia General Assembly convenes in January for the 2025 legislative session.

Kemp made his announcement at the annual Congressional Luncheon in Athens sponsored by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the same venue he used a year ago to promise that comprehensive tort reform would be a major priority during the 2024 session.

“We took the first meaningful steps on this issue this past session by creating a mechanism to gather needed information that will guide the next steps,” Kemp told a roomful of political and business leaders Wednesday.

Kemp announced he will hold a listening tour to hear from subject matter experts and industry leaders, including three roundtables that will inform his tort reform agenda for 2025.
