Bill > HB1394

This bill amends the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, specifically Section 12-3-58, which outlines the powers and duties of the Department of Community Affairs and its historic preservation grant program. The key change is the explicit inclusion of "Rosenwald Schools" as a type of historic property that is significant to the history of the state. This ensures that these schools, which were built to educate African American children in the early to mid-20th century, will be recognized and treated as historic properties for the purposes of receiving historic preservation grants and accessing the historic preservation grant fund, providing them with the same protections and opportunities for funding as other recognized historical sites.
