AI Summary
- Extends and embeds a sunset date of June 30, 2015, for three categories of state capital outlay grants under Georgia's Quality Basic Education Act: advance funding, exceptional growth, and low-wealth capital outlay grants
- Advance funding allows local school systems to receive state capital outlay funds for construction projects addressing extraordinary student population growth, facility destruction by fire or disaster, replacement of health/safety hazards, large multi-year projects, and cross-system school consolidation
- Low-wealth capital outlay grants (Code Section 20-2-262) are set to automatically repeal on June 30, 2015, under a newly added subsection
- Repeals sunset-related provisions from three prior Acts (approved in 1999, 2001, and 2008) that previously governed the automatic repeal dates for these capital outlay programs, consolidating the new sunset date directly into the code
- Takes effect immediately upon the Governor's approval or upon becoming law without such approval
