Rep. Stovall's Legislation for 2015-16
HB 614 "Landon Dunson Act" Video Cameras in Classrooms of Children w/ Special Needs was introduced during 2015 session. Read more about it & like Facebook page HB-614-Landon-Dunson-Act . We are looking for families and teachers who would like to share their stories. We will be hosting townhall meetings across Georgia: Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, Macon, Gwinnett/North Fulton, Clayton Co.

HB 497 "Nonprofits Surplus Property" was introduced during 2015 session. This bill would allow Georgia 501 (c) (3) nonprofits w/ less than 15 employees to receive surplus property (equipment, furniture, etc.) at no cost for items w/ fair market value of $2,000 or less. This will allow these great organizations to better serve our communities with items Georgians have already paid for once but are no longer in need by local and state government entities.

*Thanks to the Forest Park Business Coalition for inviting Rep. Stovall to speak to the local business owners on Aug. 18th at the Clayton County Community Service Authority. She shared information on tax incentives with the city, county and state which included information on QuickStart and Atlanta Regional Commission Workforce Development Job Training Grant; Dual Enrollment/Move On When Ready (allows students to compete high school and college at the same time for 9th-12th graders); and HB1 Elimination of the HS graduation test (allows individuals to obtain their high school diploma). Rep. Stovall stressed the importance of businesses allowing job shadowing and internships that will help the youth when deciding on a career path.
