Senate Study Committee on Inclusive Educational Settings for Students with Disabilities; create

This resolution creates a Senate Study Committee to examine inclusive educational settings for students with disabilities in Georgia. The committee, appointed by the Senate President, will study current conditions, benefits (like improved academic performance and independence), and barriers to inclusion, then recommend potential legislative changes. It does not enact new laws but will report findings by December 2025. The committee’s work directly affects students with disabilities and educators in Georgia’s public schools. The resolution is procedural, focusing solely on research and recommendations, not immediate policy implementation.
