Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to education, so as to repeal Chapter 2B, relating to promise scholarship accounts, including both Articles 1 and 2 of said chapter, relating to the Georgia Education Savings Authority and the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act," respectively; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to completely repeal Chapter 2B from Title 20 of the Georgia Official Code, which relates to promise scholarship accounts. This chapter includes two specific articles: one about the Georgia Education Savings Authority and another about the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act". By repealing this entire chapter, the bill effectively eliminates the legal framework for promise scholarship accounts in Georgia, which would likely mean ending a program that previously allowed for educational funding or scholarships. The bill is straightforward in its intent to remove these provisions from state law, with a standard closing section that repeals any conflicting laws. While the bill text does not provide details about why the scholarship accounts are being eliminated, it represents a clear legislative action to remove an existing educational funding mechanism from Georgia's statutes.
