Cherokee's legislators are seeing more movement on their bills as the 2010 session winds down.

Today is scheduled to be the last day of this year's session.

State Rep. Sean Jerguson (R-Holly Springs) got his bill approved, which would give magistrate judges discretion on whether to conduct a hearing for an arrest warrant through the senate. The bill is now headed to the governor for his signature.

"This is a really important bill," Jerguson said. "It will save the taxpayers money and allow discretion for the magistrate court judges to not tie up the court's time with frivolous cases."

His bills that would create new definitions for interior designers and allow pharmacists to administer flu mist have already passed through both houses and are in front of the governor.

State Rep. Mark Hamilton (R-Cumming) had his bill, which would put members of the state Department of Transportation board under the same ethics requirements as state legislators, attached to a larger ethics bill that has been passed out of both houses and sent to the governor.

"I feel very good about the ethics reform legislation," Hamilton said.

Earlier this session, Hamilton passed bills that would allow electronic absentee voting for military personnel and would allow an affirmative defense for drivers who have had a procedure to improve their vision and no longer have a condition that restricts their driving.

State Sen. Jack Murphy (R-Cumming) said he expects his bill that would ban texting while driving come up for discussion today.

"It will pass," Murphy said.

He has two other bills still in the house, one allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption within 100 yards of any housing authority property and another that would require driving tests to be in English. His bill that would require state-funded schools to verify that contract carriers are properly certified before entering into an agreement to transport students has passed out the house.

State Sen. Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) has a bill that would allow the state to enter into multi-year leases in the House and a property tax reform bill that has passed out of the house.

State Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Hickory Flat) had the language in his resolution that was not able to pass out of the house amended into a Senate bill. The language prevents the federal government from forcing an individual to purchase health insurance and punishing them if they do not.

State Rep. Charlice Byrd (R-Woodstock) does not have an active bill. Her Georgia Government Accountability Act was not passed out of the House before Crossover Day.
