As I understand it, many state legislatures meet only in the first few months of the year, and have not been in session since the Obergefell decision. I have heard from several reliable sources that Georgia legislators will re-introduce a RFRA in January 2016. In spring 2015, it appeared that Georgia would enact a RFRA, but the bill was tabled as a result of a last minute motion to carve out state and local non-discrimination laws (like the Indiana fix). The Bill's sponsor had said all along that the RFRA would not protect acts of discrimination, but he refused to accede to the carve out and pulled the Bill.
