The Georgia House passed legislation Tuesday that could give a leg-up to current and former military personnel who attend a state technical college.

SB 18 would allow technical colleges to grant academic credits for military experience and training.

However, that training has to be relevant to specific course work to qualify.

The bill, which passed 14-0, goes back to the Senate for consideration of House changes.
