Editor's notes.Ga. L. 2023, p. 16, § 1/SB 211, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “The General Assembly finds that:
“(1) Current Georgian literacy rates are not where they need to be to support the workforce needs of our growing economy, and it has been many years since there has been a systematic study of Georgia's efforts to support student and adult literacy efforts;
“(2) A comprehensive study of all state resources and activities that are funded to support improved literacy outcomes is needed. This study should also set recommended priorities for future investments and strategies; and
“(3) Georgia must have a very specific goal that sets clearly defined measures for third, fifth, and eighth grade reading outcomes.”
Code Section 20-1-45 provides for the repeal of this article, effective December 31, 2026.
