Legislation Could Impact Education

Governor Perdue has 3 bills sitting on his desk that are opposed by the PTA.

• HB 89 - legalizes carrying concealed weapons in restaurants, transportation, and in public parks
• HB 1133 - provides tax credit for donations to private schools. This will cost Georgia $50 million in revenue (and limit available education funds)
• HB 881 - allows states to authorize use of local tax dollars for charter schools (some consider this unconstitutional)

PTA urges you to call/write the Governor (404-656-1776) to veto these 3 bills.
