The Georgia Legislature on Monday ended its three-month hiatus that was aimed at impeding the spread of the coronavirus.

New health and safety rules prevent visitors from sitting in the galleries for General Assembly meetings, although they will be able to watch livestreams of the action on the Legislature's website.

General Assembly live broadcasts can be reached through the Live Broadcast sidebar on the home page.

Visitors can attend House committee meetings, if space permits and they're wearing masks, but those meetings can also be viewed through the Media Services tab on the House website or through this link. 

Senate committee meeting broadcasts can be located through the Senate Press Office tab on the Senate website or through this link.
