Transportation, health care, unions top Kemp agenda

Details: Kemp told the crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium that he wanted to set aside nearly $2 billion on roads, bridges and freight transportation.

• In addition, he's identified nearly $230 million to fund a new medical school at the University of Georgia and a separate dental school at Georgia Southern University.
• Another proposal — prohibiting businesses that receive state incentives from recognizing worker unions without a secret ballot vote — could make labor organizing more difficult, the Associated Press reports.
• Kemp said his previously announced tort reform initiatives would take a piecemeal approach.

What's next: Kemp's expected to announce more initiatives during Thursday's State of the State address at 11am.

State of play: Burns, now entering his second year leading the House of Representatives, said he supports studying whether to expand health care coverage to people living on low incomes.

• In addition, he wants to revisit Georgia's elections laws, including giving the politically appointed State Elections Board the authority to investigate voter fraud cases, Capitol Beat reports.
