HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF GOV. NATHAN DEAL’S AGENDA:

Civil and criminal justice: The governor endorsed a proposed constitutional amendment that would create a statewide business court system, which he said would use specialized judges to help more speedily resolve litigation involving firms. He’s also likely to back legislation that would counter a landmark Georgia Supreme Court ruling that effectively bars residents from suing the state when trying to overturn a law they believe is unconstitutional.

Infrastructure spending: He will put $35 million more in the state budget to deepen Savannah’s harbor to prepare for a new wave of ships docking at the bustling port. And he also wants to spend $25 million for improvements and expansions in rural airports.

Amazon: The state is expected to offer an unprecedented package of incentives to lure Amazon’s second headquarters. But the governor said he’s prepared to call a special session to hash out the state’s lucrative offering — if the tech giant lists Georgia as a top-three contender.

Budget: The governor’s budget proposal will be about $26 billion in state revenue — and around $50 billion with federal funding — and will touch the lives of millions of Georgians. He’s set to reach his goal of a rainy day fund that hovers around $2.5 billion when he leaves office, and the state will pump $350 million to $375 million more into the pension fund next year. But the state’s budget growth gives him little room for other maneuvering. Cybersecurity: The governor has touted the growing cybersecurity center on the outskirts of downtown Augusta. He announced the second phase of the project this month, breaking ground on a $35 million addition to be built a few steps from the $60 million centerpiece still under construction.

Religious liberty: He’s warned repeatedly that he won’t back any “religious liberty” legislation — and that he won’t hesitate to wield the veto pen again like he did in 2016. His aides have also warned that even reviving the debate could harm the state’s bid for the Amazon project.

Legacy: The governor used a key speech this week to warn the seven contenders seeking to succeed him that “if you begin firing shots, just remember that we have the ammunition.” It was a calculated warning to his would-be successors not to take jabs at his track record after two terms in office. “There’s nothing lame about this duck,” Deal said.
