- The Georgia Student Finance Commission is the successor to the Georgia State Scholarship Commission (see former Code Section 20-2-233(b)), the creation of which was authorized by constitutional amendment ratified in 1964 and contained in Ga. Const. 1976, Art. X, Sec. II, Para. V (see now Ga. Const. 1983, Art. XI, Sec. I, Para. I). The first Georgia State Scholarship Commission was created by Ga. L. 1964, p. 699, and abolished by Ga. L. 1965, p. 210, § 11. A new Georgia State Scholarship Commission was created by Ga. L. 1965, p. 210, which was subsequently amended by Ga. L. 1966, p. 465; Ga. L. 1967, p. 640; Ga.

In 1972, the Executive Reorganization Act provided that the State Scholarship Commission and its functions were continued. See Ga. L. 1972, p. 1015, § 1901. In 1980, Ga. L. 1965, p. 210, as amended, creating the Georgia State Scholarship Commission, was repealed by Ga. L. 1980, p. 835, which also enacted this part and Parts 2 and 3 of this article.
