Bill > SB67

This bill amends Georgia's laws related to capital outlay funds for elementary and secondary education. It provides that if an educational facility is extensively destroyed or damaged by a fire or natural disaster, the local school system can immediately qualify for regular state capital outlay funding and advance funding to concurrently update, repair, or replace the undamaged portion of the facility, as long as the facility is at least 20 years old. The bill also creates an additional path for local school systems to qualify for low-wealth capital outlay grants if they are consolidating educational facilities and the special purpose local option sales tax revenues would not generate the required local contribution.
