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 of Georgia's education laws, which relates to promise scholarship accounts. Specifically, the bill would eliminate both Article 1 (which established the Georgia Education Savings Authority) and Article 2 (known as the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act") in their entirety. By repealing this entire chapter, the bill effectively removes the legal framework for these scholarship accounts, meaning that the promise scholarship program would no longer exist under state law. The bill is straightforward in its approach, using two sections: the first section explicitly states the repeal of Chapter 2B, and the second section is a standard provision that repeals any laws that might conflict with this Act. This legislation would represent a significant change in Georgia's education funding and scholarship programs, effectively dismantling the promise scholarship system that was previously established.
