Considering the amount of changes that were made to the original bill, SB 10 passed quickly out of the House Education Committee this afternoon. The bill had an additional change that was made since the last meeting a couple of weeks ago. Parents will have to have their child enrolled in public school for one year instead of just one semester, to take advantage of the voucher. Also today, the bill was ammended to only allow private schools in Georgia to accept vouchers. Previously, an out of state placement was permitted.
As soon as the final House version is ready electronically, we will send it out to everyone. SB 10 is now headed for the House floor for a vote. That will more than likely happen early next week.

Is what you are calling SB10 the same bill know as HB 199, which I was under the impression was the House version?
