Update: Georgia Council for the Arts

The full Georgia Senate voted to approve the Appropriation Committee’s recommendation, which includes restoring $890,735 to the Georgia Council for the Arts. This will save the GCA and allow the agency to match its federal grant and retain its regional funding. Differences between the House and the Senate’s budgets must be reconciled by a Conference Committee made up of equal members of both bodies before the final budget can be sent to the Governor for approval.
