Chair (speaker 1) called the House Higher Education Committee to order, instructed attendees to be seated and asked staff to close the door so the committee could begin on time; noted there were five agenda items and that the meeting would move quickly.
The Georgia House Higher Education Committee met to consider five measures including HB1413 (Dream Scholarship and a proposed postgraduate medical scholarship), HR450/HB686 (ballot question and implementing tax for online sports betting), HB693 (tuition equalization grants for nursing workforce), and HB263 (HOPE eligibility for certain prior drug convictions). The committee moved all items forward with due-pass recommendations to rules or full committee.
