Bill > SB134

This bill seeks to completely eliminate Chapter 2B from Title 20 of the Georgia Official Code, which relates to promise scholarship accounts. The chapter being repealed includes two specific articles: one concerning the Georgia Education Savings Authority and the other pertaining to the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act". By repealing this entire chapter, the bill effectively removes the legal framework that established these scholarship accounts, which were likely designed to provide financial assistance for educational expenses. The bill also includes a standard provision repealing any other laws that might conflict with this act, which is a common legislative practice to ensure legal clarity and prevent potential contradictions in the state's educational policy. While the bill text is brief, it represents a significant policy change that would dismantle an existing educational funding mechanism in Georgia.
