State Rep. Eddie Lumsden (R-Armuchee) released his weekly legislative report earlier this week. Rep. Lumsden says that the General Assembly passed a bill that will encourage those who serve in the military to live and work in Georgia as the transition to civilian life. The House also passed a Senate Bill that will help local food banks purchase fresh, local food from farmers in Georgia. Also, Lumsden talks about the tax refund bill that Governor Kemp signed into law. Lumsden says, “Single tax filers will receive a $250 refund, head-of-household filers will receive $375, and those who file jointly will receive a $500 refund.
