  • This Week in the Senate
    This Week in the Senate March 1 - 5 , 2021 Crossover Day in Sight After a week of alternating days between the cham- Georgia Senate ber voting on legislation and carefully vetting leg- islation in committees, the Senate has set the stage Press Office Staff for a busy, but productive Crossover Day. In the days Andrew Allison leading up to Crossover, we typically face aggressive Director agendas of legislation in an effort to ensure that not a single priority is missed. This year was no differ- Kessarin Horvath ent, as we passed more than 40 bills and resolution. Communications Specialist However, our calendars to this point will pale in comparison to the length of that of Crossover Day, Kami Briden which we will see on Monday. Senior Communications Associate This week, I had the opportunity to present a piece Cameren Rogers of legislation that addresses a long overdue loophole in our justice system. Current- 2021 Communications Aide ly, state law considers it a felony for an employee of a school to engage in improper sexual contact with a student enrolled at that school. However, we have heard hor- Maia Schulte rific stories involving misconduct occurring at schools other than those where the 2021 Communications Aide student is enrolled or by other individuals who had a responsibility to care for that child. Senate Bill 117 expands this original definition to include any volunteer or Sascha Stryker employee within the school district of the victim, as well as creates the additional 2021 Communications Aide offense of “improper sexual contact by a person in a position of trust” to cover other individuals entrusted with the care of a minor who engages in improper activity.

    Georgia House of Representatives SESSION REPORT House Budget & Research Office Martha R. Wigton, Director (404) 656-5050 Christine Murdock, Deputy Director 2021 Session Report HB 32 Income tax; credit for teacher recruitment and retention program; provide By: Rep. D. C. Belton (112th) Through the Ways & Means Committee Final Bill Summary: House Bill 32 amends O.C.G.A. 20-2-251 to create a refundable income tax credit for a teacher recruitment and retention program managed by the State Board of Education. Eligible teachers include those with a bachelor's degree in education from a postsecondary institution in Georgia that has a teacher certification program certified by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Additionally, a teacher must accept their first school-year contract in the 2021-2022 school year in a high-need subject area in a rural school or a school that performed in the lowest five percent of schools in this state and must hold a valid five- year induction or professional certificate from the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Regional Education Service Agencies determine which three content areas are considered a high-need subject area. Eligible teachers must submit an application to the Department of Education to participate. The department will identify no more than 100 rural and low-performing schools, and the recruitment and retention program is limited to 1,000 participating teachers. Participating teachers are eligible for a non- refundable tax credit of $3,000 per each school year for no more than five years. The tax credit earned may be carried forward for up to three years.
