COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp are visiting Columbus on Thursday afternoon to sign multiple pieces of legislation for the state of Georgia.

A total of eight bills are set to be signed during the ceremony at Jordan Vocational High School. One of those bills - HB 970 — has a piece of anti-human trafficking legislation that makes the REACH Scholarship more accessible trafficking victims.

The remaining seven bills include HB 982, SB 440, SB 497, SB 384, SB 354, SB 373, and SB 195.
