ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp will get to sign legislation he sought that would require schools to prepare for armed intruders.
House Bill 147 passed the Senate with broad bipartisan support Monday after Democrats tried and failed to amend it.
Kemp had asked state Rep. Will Wade, a Dawsonville Republican, to introduce the legislation, which encourages anti-gang training for educators. HB 147 also “modernizes” safety protocols, said state Sen. Mike Hodges, a Brunswick Republican, who carried the bill in the Senate.
