Bill > HB1062

This bill requires the Georgia Department of Education to publish relevant and applicable federal guidance documents, which are defined as statements of general applicability from federal agencies that offer policy or interpretation on issues but do not have the force of law. Within 15 days of receiving such a document, the department must publish it online on a dedicated, easily searchable webpage. Additionally, within 45 days, the department must provide a written response detailing the federal or state laws addressed, how the guidance will be implemented, and any objections or exceptions raised. If a guidance document is rescinded, the department must clearly indicate this online and maintain a separate list of rescinded documents. Annually, by August 1, the State School Superintendent must provide a written report to designated legislative committees and budget offices, including the website address for the guidance documents, lists of published and rescinded documents, copies of the written responses, and any rules adopted by the State Board of Education to implement these requirements. The State Board of Education is authorized to adopt rules to carry out these provisions.
