Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to education, so as to extend automatic repeals of certain provisions regarding nonlapsing revenue of institutions of the University System of Georgia and units of the Technical College System of Georgia; to amend Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to state government, so as to extend automatic repeals of certain provisions regarding writing off small amounts due to the state; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill extends the automatic repeal date for provisions allowing the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia to retain certain collected revenues, known as "nonlapsing revenue," from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2031, meaning these funds will continue to be available for use by these institutions without needing to be returned to the state treasury at the end of the fiscal year, with specific limits on how much tuition revenue can be nonlapsing (3% for the University System and 15% for the Technical College System), and requires annual reporting on the use of these funds. Additionally, the bill extends the repeal date for provisions that allow state agencies, including the University System and Technical College System, to write off small debts owed to the state (up to $100 for most agencies, and up to $3,000 for the University and Technical College Systems) if further collection efforts are deemed not cost-effective, also from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2031.
