House Bill 91

Governor Nathan Deal signed House Bill 91 into law on March 30, 2015. The law contains provisions for students who are not enrolled in the school system to petition the Local Board of Education for a diploma, if their sole reason for not receiving a diploma was due to not passing any part of the required graduation tests at the time of enrollment.
