Bill text: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/pdf/sb239.pdf
Governor's veto message: SB 239 ensures that families moving from one school district to another register their children for school in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the language of a floor amendment seeking to safeguard homeschooling families instead accomplished the opposite; as written, the bill would actually require homeschooling families to enroll their children in a public or private school upon moving to a new school district. Because of this unintended consequence, I VETO SB 239. From http://gov.georgia.gov/00/press/detail/0,2668,78006749_160096907_160291947,00.html
