 Executive Summary 
Senate Bill 10 as signed into law on May 18, 2007, created the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS) Program which allows parents of eligible special needs students to transfer their children to another public school, public school system, state school, or approved participating private school. On July 1, 2013, OCGA  20-2-2114 was amended to authorize the State Board of Education to waive the prior school year requirement on a case-by-case basis for specific medical needs of a student upon the request of a parent or guardian. On July 1, 2015, OCGA  20-2-2114 was further amended so that prior year enrollment in a Georgia public school requirement shall not apply if the student's parent is an active duty military service member stationed in Georgia within the previous year.
