Senate Georgia The Senate of Georgia refers to the upper house of the General Assembly of the U.S. state of Georgia. Comprising 56 members, each representing one of the state's senatorial districts, it is a key component of the bicameral legislature that also includes the Georgia House of Representatives. Senators serve four-year terms with staggered elections to maintain continuity within the body. They are responsible for making laws, approving budgets, and confirming gubernatorial appointments in collaboration with the House. The Senate President pro tempore is the presiding officer when the Lieutenant Governor, who serves as the President of the Senate, is absent or unable to perform their duties. The Georgia Senate plays a crucial role in shaping the state's policy and legislative agenda.
