Last Thursday marked the 40th and final day of the 2017 Georgia General Assembly, during which a flurry of bills headed to Gov. Nathan Deal's office to be vetoed or become law. Included in the bills that Deal now has less than 40 days to sign, Rep. Kevin Tanner's House Bill 338, an education overhaul for failing schools, passed the Senate with amendments on March 24.
