Legislation Carried Over
    Senate Bill 112, which would include students in home study programs in the state honors program conducted by the Georgia State Board of Education, has been carried over to the 2000 legislative session. The honors program is designed to benefit students who manifest exceptional abilities or unique potentials or who make exceptional academic achievements. The program is conducted during summer months between normal school-year terms at institutions of higher learning or other appropriate locations in the state.
    Introduced by Senator Joey Brush (R-24), this legislation passed the Senate on March 1, 1999, and was then sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. No action was taken by the time the general assembly adjourned on March 24, 1999, so the house committee on education will take up this bill during the 2000 legislative session.
