One bill filed by a Republican state representative, James Tipton, seeks to abolish the death penalty.
And Democratic State Representative Nnimmo Cochran has introduced a bill that would decriminalize possession of certain amounts of marijuana and the upper chamber.
Democratic State Senator Kasy Chambers Armstrong is calling for a child tax credit of up to $1,000 for qualifying taxpayers.

Doing so would require a constitutional amendment.
State Senator Reggie Thomas of Lexington is sponsoring a bill requiring a plan for how Kentucky schools and colleges would implement artificial intelligence.
It would also require the state to monitor how AI is used.
Thomas told the Herald Leader, Our society is on the brink of a technological renaissance with artificial intelligence that needs to be handled correctly.
Of course, it's still too early to know which bills will gain traction this session.
